Chapter 51: Ye Hexu's new work
It does sound like an exaggeration.
Shen Xin only began to submit short stories to the magazine in August, and in November, the new book had just published 5 episodes. Despite the good results, he is a newcomer after all, and it is still a little strange to serve as a judge.
However, this is also the difficulty of small magazines.
Although the magazine also has stalwart authors, none of their works can be compared with the popular "Y's". In addition, another reason why the editor-in-chief asked Shen Xin to serve as a judge is the power of example.
When Shen Xin, who has just turned 18, has grown into the signature author of "New World", other young people will definitely have a concept: they may not lose to Shen Xin.
Once this sense of competition is formed, it is likely to give birth to works that are no less than "Y's".
Whether it was the wishful thinking of the editor-in-chief or not, after he made the decision, Shen Xin's workload increased again.
Fortunately, after Shen Xin made a phone call to Yang Bo, Yang Bo didn't say a word, so he ran over and served as Shen Xin's coloring page assistant, relieving Shen Xin's pressure.
After Shen Xin drew the line drawing of the color page, Yang Bo put the line drawing on the transparency table, copied a copy, and traced and colored the line drawing after copying.
Originally, Shen Xin and Yang Bo said that they would draw color pages in the studio throughout the weekend in November. But after trying for a long time, Yang Bo called Ji Yinxuan.
He, Yang Bo, also wants to be like Shen Xin, who is taking a bright class, and then nests in Shen Xin's studio, practicing painting and color pages, and asks Ji Yinxuan to "open" the business of "not failing classes".
In Shen Xin's leisure or when he was eating, Yang Bo would also ask about some knowledge related to color pages.
Because he has the experience of painting doujinshi, Yang Bo will also help with black, white, and online dot paper, but he is not as skilled as Qiao Yu.
As for the cost, Shen Xin also wanted to give Yang Bo a normal assistant fee, but he refused.
"If I go to other cartoonists and ask about comics or coloring pages, they will definitely have reservations, after all, these are the foundation of their survival, but without these considerations here, the assistant fee is considered as tuition."
Huaxia has always had a tradition of "keeping a hand", and many industries are taboo about this. Therefore, Yang Bo thinks so, and there is no problem.
Shen Xin felt that it was not appropriate to let Yang Bo help for free, so he was ready to settle the remuneration together before Yang Bo left.
When he got home, Xi Muhan hurriedly opened the bedroom door, and after showing his face, he returned to the bedroom.
This made Shen Xin feel helpless, but Ji Yinxuan's time was also relatively tight, and Shen Xin could only hope that Xi Muhan could put his body first.
On Monday, the sixth episode of "Y's" was officially published, and at the same time, the single book of "Crumbling" was finally released.
Yang Bo went to a bookstore, and in addition to buying the monographs of New World and Crumbling, he also bought the weekly and monthly magazines of Comic Future.
In the latest issue of "Weekly Comic Future", Ye Hexu's new work has finally been published, and unlike "Crime", this work is Ye Hexu's original fantasy comic "Hunting the Abyss".
The story is about a certain city, a bottomless crack suddenly appeared, and various magical beasts burst out of it, instantly devouring the entire city.
Various countries sent troops to encircle and suppress these monsters, but they were also devoured by the monsters.
Eventually, in order to avoid human death, the combined forces were forced to drop countless bombs into the abyss, blowing it up, leaving a hole in it.
Just when people thought it was all over, the monsters weren't dead, and some smaller monsters crawled out of the hole and continued to live on the land.
In order to be able to live a normal life, people built a wall outside the whole city and trapped the monster in the wall.
After a few decades, it was discovered that killing monsters could obtain skins, horns and other items, so as to refine weapons that could kill monsters, and the crystal nucleus of monsters had high commercial value, so a profession was born - hunters, people who hunted monsters for a living in this deserted city.
Of course, not everyone has the ability to hunt, and ordinary people rush over to the past, which must be a dead end, so there is a hunter assessment. Different levels of hunters also have different activity areas.
Basically, the monsters that operate outside are the weakest, and the most powerful monsters are in the abyss, and only a few people can enter.
Shen Xin finished reading the whole story in one go, and still felt unfinished.
"This cartoonist named Ye Hexu created this comic is really good-looking." Yang Bo's spirit shone, and his face showed extreme excitement, "There is only one word, it's really too much." ”
"Already, it's 55 pages." After Shen Xin saw it, he felt a lot of emotion.
This comic is a bit like "Giant", but the difference from "Giant" is that humans have become hunters from prey, and the prey is not defenseless, on the contrary, every prey is powerful.
In terms of style, "Giant" is a little darker, and "Hunting the Abyss" is a one-step hot-blooded comic, Shen Xin can even deduce the general trend of the early stage, the protagonist should be assessed and promoted, and the early stage will form a team to level up in the city outside the abyss, and then enter the abyss because of something.
The rhythm of this comic is particularly good, and there is a degree of relaxation, overall, Shen Xin thinks that this comic is very good, and he also sees Ye Hexu's talent for creating comics.
If the opponent of the "Newcomer Award" is Ye Hexu, it is indeed not easy to do.
After playing "Hunting Abyss", Shen Xin took out "Monthly Comic Future".
"Crime and Punishment" has published 4 episodes so far, and as the story progresses, the role of the "Book of Prophecy" is gradually revealed, and the differences with "Death Note" are gradually becoming clear.
The "Book of Prophecy" has a fixed number of pages, which can only be predicted a hundred times, and the pages torn from the "Book of Prophecy" do not have the effect of "prophecy", and at the same time, from the moment the name is written on the title page, the Book of Prophecy has only one master, but the "Book of Prophecy" cannot predict the future of the master.
Shen Xin likes the reasoning of "Crime and Punishment" very much, but he doesn't like the style of "Crime and Punishment", from the first episode, the protagonist has been bullied, but the strange thing is that the evaluation of this comic in "Monthly Comic Future" is surprisingly good.
However, if you think about it carefully, it also makes sense that some readers just like "abuse" comics, such as Yang Bo, who bought them from magazines and read them twice.
In general, Ye Hexu did not disappoint him, his strength is indeed very strong, and he can express the enthusiasm of juvenile comics with a delicate painting style, and the rhythm is also in place. "Crime and Punishment" is also good-looking, the match between Su Han and Ye Hexu is better than "Crumbling", coupled with its popularity in the novel, the sales of the single book are estimated to be not too low.
As for the single book "Crumbling", the first volume is more relaxed, and its style begins to change, after the 8th episode, so the single book does not reflect this change.
"Sheepskin."
After reading the two magazines and the single book of "Crumbling", Shen Xin looked up at Yang Bo.
"What?" Yang Bo raised his head in confusion.
"I want to ask, what about the new Dreamer?" Shen Xin asked.
"Huh? Yes! Yang Bo patted his forehead, "I'm sorry, I forgot to buy it, I don't usually watch "Dreamer". Wait a minute, I'll be there right away! ”
"No, I'm just curious, in fact, when the single book is released, it's nothing." Shen Xin said casually.
"Curious about what?"
"Where the story goes...... Curious about what kind of development a half-finished story will have. Shen Xin chuckled.
