Lu Yingxue also read the color page of "The Sky of Basketball" for the first time.

After watching it for the first time, he felt the most shock.

These coloring pages can't be compared to the illustrations he draws, but comparing comics and illustrations separately is really too difficult for a cartoonist.

He'd seen other color comics, and he knew the level of those people Shi Qun was looking for, but what could that be?

The magazine only provides so much manuscript fee, and it is worth paying a large amount of money to the assistant to hire a high-level cartoonist.

However, being compared by readers, and there is also a sense of being underestimated, which makes him a little unacceptable.

Isn't it true that people live for a breath?

So, you have to find a way to change.

It seems that I need to have a meeting with Mr. Shi Qun and arrange the rest of the work clearly.

Lu Yingxue took her mobile phone, thought about it again and again, and sent a text message to Shi Qun.

……

The mobile phone screen on the desktop lit up, and the stone group that was staring at the computer screen landed his eyes on the mobile phone.

After reading the text message, Shi Qun immediately stood up, left the bedroom, and came to the living room on the first floor.

Fan Yinmo was lying on the sofa with a wet towel on his forehead, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable.

After Shen Zheng announced that "The Sky of Basketball" would upload the information of color pages, Fan Yinmo was always depressed, and after he read the color pages, the whole person became uncomfortable.

How can there be such fun?

This kind of quality color page is simply not possible for ordinary studios.

The assistant must be of a very high level, and at the same time, the workload of the cartoonist is very tight, even if it is two Mondays, it will still be very difficult.

In this case, how is it possible to draw such a color page?

Now, "Demon King Tutor" relies on color pages to attract readers, and now that "The Sky of Basketball" is so engaged, readers' tastes have changed.

He invested a lot of money in "The Demon King's Tutor", and he hasn't paid back yet?

The more he thought about it, the more irritable Fan Yinmo's heart became.

Shi Qun walked to the sofa and said to Fan Yinmo, "Brother Fan, Teacher Snow wants to talk to me." ”

"He? What does he have to say? Fan Yinmo opened his eyes and looked at the stones in front of him.

"He's the main writer, and so far, he has painted "The Demon King's Tutor", and I'm a partner with him. After the color page of "The Sky of Basketball" came out, readers will naturally compare it with "The Demon King's Tutor", and it is estimated that he is also under a lot of pressure, right? ”

"Stressful?" Fan Yinmo blinked and sat up suddenly, startling Shi Qun. When he looked at Fan Yinmo again, the gloom on Fan Yinmo's face disappeared, and was replaced by a happy face.

"Brother Fan, what's wrong with you?" The stone group was a little surprised.

"I suddenly figured out something." Fan Yinmo shook his fingers and chuckled, "Guess, who is the most anxious person now?" ”

"I don't know." Shi Qun shook his head.

Not me anyway.

Shi Qun's original manuscript had already been sold to Fan Yinmo by page, in fact, without Fan Yinmo's funding, "The Demon King's Tutor" would not have been finished.

Now, the manuscript in the hand of "Comic Future" is second-hand, he just signed it, and there is a contract between him and Fan Yinmo.

The money that should be earned is in hand, and whether "The Demon King's Tutor" is a profit or a loss has little to do with him.

Even if "The Demon King's Tutor" can earn 100 million, he won't be able to get a dime.

Shi Qun is not a greedy person, just give money, not to mention, Fan Yinmo gave him a lot of money.

Of course, "Comic Future" also bought out the comic "The Demon King's Tutor", and Fan Yinmo's money is relatively fixed, so far, Fan Yinmo has definitely made money, and he has made a lot of money, but the results of "The Demon King's Tutor" have affected the results of Shi Qun's new work - Shi Qun also sold the new work to Fan Yinmo by page.

Cartoonists are all betting. and he doesn't want that risk, he wants stability.

"It's snow. Don't forget, he is the main writer, and if the color is not good, his reputation will also suffer, and he will definitely be in a hurry. ”

"What can he do if he's in a hurry?" Shi Qun rolled his eyes, "The magazine pays by the page, and if you want to hire a high-level assistant, you will earn less." ”

"Don't worry, let's take a look at his attitude first, maybe he's willing to do more work? It's also possible. Fan Yinmo rubbed his hands, "Besides, this is just a short comic, who dares to say that his long comic is also a color comic?" It's simply impossible. The cost is too high. ”

Shi Qun nodded.

He agrees.

This color comic is really amazing, and it opened his eyes, but to be honest, this level is not unique in 10,000.

The overall quality of "Basketball Sky" is higher than that of domestic curtains and is basically the same as that of "Juvenile Leap", which should be at the upper middle level.

The reason why it caused such a big sensation is that it is serialized on the Internet, and the domestic works that can be compared with it are not of good level, which makes it feel like it stands out from the crowd.

Another reason is that its black and white pages are so good, and the characters' movements and storyboards are of high quality. The high-level black and white pages are used as a foreshadowing, and the color pages show the tension of the picture, so it is reasonable that "Basketball Sky" is sought after by readers.

But as Fan Yinmo said, Shen Zheng will draw a color page at most to promote his new work. The long new work is serialized, and it can't be a color page.

It's not that he underestimates Shen Zheng, but such a color page, the workload is too large, it is difficult to complete the weekly shift, and people's energy has a limit.

In addition, judging from the short story, the picture of "The Sky of Basketball" is detailed.

The more detailed the comic, the longer it takes.

Therefore, Shen Zheng launched color comics + black and white comics this time, the publicity is stronger, and the actual operability is not large.

He also doesn't believe that when Shen Zheng is serializing his new work, he will make another color comic.

However, even so, webtoon artists are probably under pressure, after all, readers will have higher requirements for them.

"However, the reader's eyes will be higher." Shi Qun reminded.

"Don't you know that there is a group of people called the Water Army? As long as I find some trolls and let them tell the truth of the matter, readers will naturally lower their expectations for color comics. That's right, the quality of the color pages of "The Sky of Basketball" is very high, but Shen Zheng can't be at this level in every word. 'Just eat dumplings for the New Year', this craze has passed, and everything is the same. Fan Yinmo touched his nose and smiled.

Shi Qun scratched his head, he was not used to Fan Yinmo's approach, but he was not qualified to refuse.

"By the way, I'll go over to meet Snow too."

"You're going too?" Shi Qun was surprised.

"yes. I'm going to listen to his thoughts, at the end of the day, we are very unanimous, just to make "Demon King's Tutor" more profitable, right? You want to be worth more, right? ”

Shi Qun rubbed his face and nodded, no one was famous, and he was no exception.

……

District 11, the editorial office of Shonen Leap.

Murakami rubbed his temples.

After seeing the coloring page of "Basketball Sky", he suddenly became nervous.

This tension does not come from "Basketball in the Sky", but from other magazines.

Now he is not the only one who knows that "Basketball Sky" has been uploaded to the forum of District 11, and Shen Zheng's past results in District 11 are also good, taking "DN", which was serialized in the comic journal, as an example, the average volume exceeded 1 million - this is a comic serialized on the Internet.

Inferring from the current short story, the quality of Shen Xin's next work is also not low, if it is serialized on a platform like "Zhou Man TOP", will the volume of the new book exceed 2 million?

No one can say.

At that point, the pressure on him was really high.

Thinking of this, Murakami looked up at Kotani, "Kotani, help me book a ticket to Hongchuan." ”

"Okay." Kotani was nervous when he heard Toru Murakami say this.

Toru Murakami should be going to meet Shen Zheng, so there is a possibility that the next work will be serialized in "Shonen Leap", although there is little chance.

It would be nice if we could work together......

"By the way, do you have a passport?" Murakami asked again.

"Yes."

"Then book two air tickets, and you and I will go to Hongchuan together." Murakami said in response.
