Yunhai Sports Center usually does not let people in, Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong took a few photos outside as materials, as for the interior decoration and layout, they can not be filmed until the sports meeting officially begins. For this reason, Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong bought two more tickets online, one in the front row and one in the back row.

After returning to Hongchuan, Shen Xin discussed with Ji Yinxuan again, asking her to contact several middle schools with basketball halls, and he wanted to go to the filming.

Ji Yinxuan was also busy speeding up the progress of the mobile game, and after hearing Shen Xin's request, she called He Yang again.

Over the years, Ji Yinxuan has been busy making games and has met many well-known producers in the industry, but the familiarity in Hongchuan City is not as good as He Yang.

He Yang heard that it was Shen Xin who was preparing for the next comic, so he immediately agreed, and Shen Xin took another day to shoot four middle schools, including Xingyao Middle School.

Of course, if the shooting is done, it does not mean that the preliminary work is completed, Shen Xin also has to select suitable photos and hand them over to Gao Hang, so that they can familiarize themselves with these buildings and scenes.

The role of background in a comic is also very crucial, some cartoonists only focus on the characters, but the background is very blurred, and a large area is used to leave blank. Nowadays, computers are developed, so some people use PS to process photos and use them as backgrounds.

With the development of science and technology, as well as the emergence of various convenient devices, comics will become more and more impetuous.

So much so that even Shen Xin felt this sense of impetuousness - after using the pen screen for a long time, he became more and more dependent on the pen screen.

Shen Xin will not limit the tools used by the assistants, but there is one point, all backgrounds must be drawn, not made by using a computer.

Gao Hang has only practiced basic skills for a period of time, and generally has no purpose, and after Shen Xin handed them these photos, Gao Hang, Liu Ruoxing and others also became excited again.

The main background of basketball cartoons is the basketball court, and all angles may appear in the cartoons, so Shen Xin gave them more photos, and also left them plenty of time to draw these backgrounds.

Cartoonists or assistants, after getting the photos, usually copy them, only after the background is familiar, in the creation, the assistant will be able to practice, when drawing each background, so that it is well understood.

Backgrounds have always been the most tedious part and the most time-consuming.

The basketball hall is difficult to draw, especially considering that different storyboards will use different angles, if the picture has no background, or the background is simple, it will not seem cumbersome to draw, but it involves complex backgrounds, especially indoors, it will involve "through. These are the problems that Shen Xin must reflect in his paintings, so Shen Xin's pressure is also very high.

Subsequently, Shen Xin told Wang Wenhong and asked him to recruit another assistant.

When the other assistants heard about this for the first time, they all looked at Gao Hang.

Shen Xin proposed to recruit another assistant at this point in time, and it was not difficult for them to guess that this decision was related to Liu Rui's absence.

The work is about to get on track, Liu Rui's return date is undecided, Shen Xin estimates that he will find a replacement, and when he comes back, he doesn't know if there is a place.

"That...... Teacher, Liu Rui will be back soon. Gao Hang hurriedly stood up.

"Huh?" Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gao Hang, "What are you talking about?" What does this have to do with Liu Rui? Whether Liu Rui comes over or not, I will recruit another assistant. ”

"Huh?"

The others were stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, and Shen Xin explained: "You have to rest, you can't work every day, right?" There's definitely something to do. Find one more person, everyone's job is easier, sometimes, you need to take three or four days off, and one more person to work won't add trouble to other people, right? Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

When the four of them heard this, they quickly nodded.

If you think about it this way, it would be better to have one more person, and now there are only four people left, and if someone else takes a leave of absence, the pressure may increase a lot.

Shen Xin handed over the recruitment of new assistants to Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong.

Wang Wenhong suggested posting a job ad on Weibo, so that more people should try to recruit.

Shen Xin has no opinion, since it was handed over to Wang Wenhong, then, let Wang Wenhong do it.

He went upstairs, returned to his study, picked up a pen and drew two pages of sketches, just then the phone rang. Shang Haozhi and Yu Chen called one after another to ask if he had returned to Hongchuan.

Only then did Shen Xin remember that after coming back, he only cared about his own affairs and forgot to say hello to these old acquaintances.

Shang Haozhi was more like a friend on this call, saying something to let Shen Xin rest, and Yu Chen also had some greetings.

"You too, since you're back, just say it, if I hadn't seen Wang Wenhong's Weibo, I wouldn't have known?"

"It's not a big deal, there's no need to make it known to everyone."

"If even Mr. Shen's return is not a big deal, there will be no big deal in the industry. In other words, Mr. Shen poached Yan Fei, and the workload of our editorial department has become much larger...... Jian Xiaomei estimated that she would have a happy event with Ye Hexu, and now she has also submitted her resignation......"

"Really?"

Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, and then thought that Ye Hexu was older than him, and it was common for him to get married, but he was just with Jian Xiaomei, which surprised him a little.

However, when two people are together, the picture sense is still good.

Ye Hexu is only in his early sixties, Jian Xiaomei is about seven meters tall, if he puts on high heels again, the picture of the two people standing together is too real.

"By the way, Mr. Shen...... Do you have any ideas for the new work? ”

After chatting a few words, Yu Chen also threw out the purpose of the trip.

"Ideas?" Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, and then understood Yu Chen's intentions, "New book...... There are ideas, but there is no hope for this year, and it is estimated that it will take a while before there will be a new book. ”

"Please let me know if a new book comes out." Yu Chen's tone suddenly became serious.

"I wish the manga had been drawn sooner, but for now...... It's still early. Shen Xin didn't say yes.

Yu Chen's idea couldn't be clearer, he just wanted Shen Xin's next comic, but Shen Xin didn't say it directly, he also had his own plans.

Comic Future wasn't necessarily his only option.

Shen Xin hung up the phone, the door of the study was gently pushed open, and Xi Muhan entered the room with a porcelain bowl, "Brother Xin, drink some chicken soup?" ”

"Hmm." Shen Xin stretched his muscles, "Thank you." ”

"What's polite to me?" Xi Muhan glanced at the desktop, and saw that it was full of paper, and the dipping pen was placed on the side of the drawing board, so he was a little surprised, "You...... Want to use a paintbrush? ”

"yes, practice in advance, I haven't used a dipping pen for a long time." Shen Xin chuckled.
