However,I have to say,Double opening is indeed a way to ensure that creators can get the maximum benefits,This can at least ensure the income of serialized comics,As for the difficulty,It's much greater than 1+1。

In the manga "Dream Eater", Akito Takagi used this method when he was confronted with the advice of editor Goro Minato to create a funny manga. It's just that even though it was created by two people, another manga still didn't succeed in serialization.

The difficulty of serializing two manga at the same time really challenges the limits of manga artists.

Of course, there are people on Earth who have done it.

When Rumiko Takahashi was young, she serialized "Lucky Star Kid" and "A Moment of Together" in "Weekly Shonen Sunday" and "Big Comic" respectively, and became a great success and became a generation of classics. From this point of view, Takahashi-sensei's talent in manga is rarely matched.

There are also other authors in District 11, but more often than not, one of the two books is the original work that is not the creator himself, just like Aunt Niu serialized "Silver Key" and also serialized "Arslan War", and the original work of this manga is the famous family, Yoshiki Tanaka.

What Shen Xin meant was not to let Luo Zheng open it double, but to submit a short story to the magazine in the name of a new author, if the effect is better than "Idol Times", then Luo Zheng will discuss with the magazine to replace "Idol Times" with a new serialization. However, it will be very difficult to create in this way, especially if the magazine wants to give up "Idol Age", the new work must have a new idea.

Shen Xin doesn't know much about idol-related comics. I've seen animations, such as "Idol Master", "Love Live! But they're not too great in comics. There is a ceiling for the band's manga, and Ai Yazawa's "NANA" once won the first place in a single volume in 05, and the second place is "Pirates".

Although "Pirates" was serialized to the "Capital of Seven Waters" at that time, Robin betrayed, Usopp disembarked, and the atmosphere of the comics was extremely depressing, and at the same time, in 05, the 11th district had not yet counted specific sales, and at that time the statistics were only circulation, and the specific sales were not known, but "NANA" is also a monthly update, and in terms of gathering popularity, it is not as good as "Pirates", and the circulation of a single volume can exceed that of "Pirates", which is already rare.

The ceiling of this type of comic is here.,If you want to rely on the theme of idols or music.,It's really too difficult to fight against hot-blooded comics for a long time.。

"As for how to change it...... In fact, you should also feel that if you keep drawing a theme, and all kinds of routines are used in different ways, it will indeed make readers feel bored, and feel that the work is 'tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it'. I don't dabble in this kind of subject matter much, and I'm not too interested. If there is any room for improvement, in my experience, there should be two ways to start. ”

Shen Xin is also not sure, because there are really not many works in this kind of theme that can be popular.

"What two?" Luo Zheng hurriedly asked.

"First, the perspective of the story. The protagonist doesn't have to use a singer or an idol to advance the story. Second, brain holes. You can add something fresh to your comics. For example, the identity of the idol, or the background of the story...... You're sure to find something that will catch your readers' eyes. ”

The first kind can be a comic of the development class, and the second type, the example is probably "Backstreet Girl", otherwise, it is the plot that appears on the Internet, after the end of the world, many industries need to rise, and the same is true for idols or artists, so you can use this as a background to create comics, roughly speaking, it is equivalent to old wine in new bottles.

Shen Xin didn't say what to do, and he also believed that Luo Zheng didn't want him to say it in too much detail.

Luo Zheng rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

The first point that Shen Xin said, he also thought about it, but after discussing it with Xu Jie, the possibility of surpassing "The King of Rock and Roll" is too low. As for the second point...... It is indeed a direction to think about.

No, even, there are a lot of works that can be expanded......

"Teacher Shen......" Luo Zheng's mouth opened slightly, staring at Shen Xin.

"Huh?"

"Thank you." Luo Zheng bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, before, I may have had a problem with your attitude, sorry ......"

"Huh?"

Luo Zheng's words made Shen Xin confused, he didn't seem to have a holiday with Luo Zheng, but after thinking about it for a while, he roughly understood the reason.

"Not being jealous is a mediocre talent", this sentence should be appropriate here, right?

At this annual meeting, Shen Xin has gained something, especially the cooperation with the "Cartoonists Association", not that any cartoonist has such an opportunity.

After returning to the studio, Shen Xin told Wang Wenhong about it.

Wang Wenhong was also stunned for a long time, and after reacting, he was overjoyed.

"That's a good thing. Just imagine, anyone who studies in a comic training institution must study "Steel Forged" seriously, and in a big way, it may even affect a group of people who are new to the comic industry. After Wang Wenhong was overjoyed, he quickly calmed down, "But there are also troubles in this matter, if the quality of the teaching materials is not good, it is likely to drag down the prestige of "Steel Refining". ”

"Well, so, you have to know what conditions we should propose." Shen Xin reminded.

Wang Wenhong made an "ok" gesture.

How much benefit peripheral products can bring has never been the focus of Shen Xin's consideration, but the content must be of quality and quantity.

"Maybe...... You may also have to contact and even cooperate with training institutions in District 11, during this time, you will have to put more thought into it, and as for the editor in charge of "SLAM DUNK", Sister Yan will be in charge for the time being. ”

At the beginning, the reason why he insisted on asking Yan Fei to come over was also for something similar.

The trip to the annual meeting also had a great impact on Xi Muhan. After she returned, she had a long talk with Wu Xiaoli and Lu Ning, and her second work was also put on the agenda.

Since "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" will be serialized for more than half a year, during this period, Xi Muhan can also have enough time to discuss the new work with the two of them.

In addition, Yu Chen also revealed the intention of the full-color version of "SLAM DUNK" in private, and the approximate date is just after the end of the full-color version of "DN", and the official publication time of the first volume should be next year.

These words made the assistants feel happy and joyful.

This annual meeting changed the atmosphere of the studio.

When Asai Hui returned to the studio, she was stunned to see the other assistants working like they had been beaten with chicken blood. After she understood the reason, she was also gearing up and eager to try.

"On Shonen Leap, SLAM DUNK is tangled with Eternal Gate, Steam Age and Strongest Pitcher, and we can't relax."

Hui Asai returned home once, and she had a clear idea of the situation of "SLAM DUNK" in District 11, and now was the time to compare it with other manga.

The other assistants were more confident, and she worked harder.
