Chapter 245 Food Comics
August 25th.
Shadow studio.
Kaneki said to Lin Yuan: "The tribe wants to conduct a column interview for cartoonists who are about to release their works on the new website. It has a bit of an intention to promote the new work. You don't have to come out in person. It's just a text-based interview. Can you answer it?"
"catch."
Lin Yuan spoke.
Kaneki nodded, and soon the editor of tribal comics added Lin Yuan’s shadow account.
The other party’s editor is very polite: “We have communicated with Teacher Shadow’s agent. Can the interview start now?”
Shadow: "Yeah."
Editor: "I am also a fan of "Net King". I am really reluctant to leave the end of this comic. But I am looking forward to the idea that Shadow Teacher is going to release a new work. Can you reveal some information about the new work to the fans?"
Shadow: "The name of the new work is "The Spirit of the Eater", which is a comic related to food."
Editor: "It sounds so appetizing! We know that "Net King" is the work of the novelist Chu Kuang, so is the story of the new work created by Teacher Shadow himself?"
Shadow: "Yeah."
Editor: "Is there any pressure from the first time I write a story by myself?"
Shadow: "It's okay."
Editor: "Teacher Shadow is very confident. Because our website was launched, what are the expectations of Shadow Teacher's achievements in the new work?"
“…”
The interview lasted about fifteen minutes.
The editor’s questions are all just right, and Lin Yuan is not tired of answering them.
But the editor started to gossip later: "[Naughty] Actually, I have always had private questions to ask Shadow Teacher, what is your gender?"
Shadow: "Male."
Editor: "One more gossip is definitely the last one. You seem to have a good relationship with Xianyu and Teacher Chu Kuang. What are the genders of these two?"
Shadow: "These are two problems."
Editor: "Hahaha, sorry, sorry [cute]."
Shadow: "All men."
Editor: "Goggling successfully [Growned]! Thank you Teacher Shadow for your answer, it turned out to be a free one, n(*≧▽≦*)n!"
Shadow: "Why did you buy it? You obviously didn't pay."
The editor paused for a few seconds before replying: "...Shadow Teacher is so humorous."
Shadow: "My friend said so too."
“…”
Twenty minutes.
The text interview is finally over.
After Kaneki took a look, confirmed that there was no problem, he nodded and said, "The interview will be posted in the evening, and other cartoonists also have text interviews."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He didn't feel at ease with this matter.
However, Lin Yuan underestimated the gossip nature of netizens.
That night.
As the cartoonists’ interviews appeared on the Internet, Chu Kuang and Xianyu’s tribal comment section became lively:
"I'll just say it, three people!"
"As a matter of fact, all three are boys~"
"Actually, it's not too surprising. Although Teacher Chu Kuang's writing style is changing, no matter how you look at it, you're all men."
"I was not sure about Teacher Xianyu's gender before. After all, he had a song that was developed from a female perspective. Now I understand. Teacher Xianyu has a girlish heart."
"The three are indeed good friends!"
"Congratulations to Teacher Shadow for his new work becoming popular, otherwise he would be thrown away by Xianyu and Chu Kuang."
"Little Transparent wants to cheer up!"
Many fans don’t know much about comics, so they mostly make jokes.
For these people, the greatest value of this interview is to reveal the genders of Xianyu and Chu Kuang.
...
However, the same interview, which fell into the eyes of some industry insiders in the comic circle, was a different response.
"Shadow wants to be original?"
"Isn't he a pure painter?"
"It seems that he is another cartoonist who is unwilling to be a pure artist. Every pure artist seems to have the idea of creating independently..."
“Isn’t the point a good food?”
"If Shadow's new work is not a food theme, I think his new work may have a little hope, but the food theme directly kills 99% of the suspense!"
“Yes, how can I choose delicious food?”
"The food-themed comics used to be very popular, but unfortunately no one cares about them now. Simply put, this theme is outdated."
"It is recommended that Shadow continue to cooperate with Chu Kuang, otherwise it would be a pity for a pure painter with a very stunning level."
“…”
Not only do the industry think this is unreliable, but even Shadow’s fans are a little confused when they learn that Shadow is going to be original.
"No?"
"Don't Teacher Shadow Don't Want to Be a Pure Painter?"
"I think it's a good idea to be a pure painter. You can have more energy to paint. Wouldn't it be better to leave the story to the screenwriter's teacher..."
"Teacher Shadow, be more aware, the food is out of date!"
"That's right, if Teacher Shadow wants to do originality, just draw a sports theme?"
"It is highly recommended to draw sports subjects!"
"In the field of comics, sports themes still have some potential, and "Net King" also proves that Shadow Teacher is best at this."
"Although I'm not optimistic, I will try my best to support Teacher Shadow."
"It's not that I haven't seen the comics drawn by the original painter, but the story is a bit hard to describe."
“…”
Industry insiders and Shadow fans don’t care about the gossip of Xianyu and Chu Kuang. What everyone cares about Shadow’s new work.
but……
Seeing that Shadow's new work actually planned to take the original route and chose the food theme, many fans felt that they poured it out with a basin of cold water.
Many shadow problems.
But before the shadow, many pure painters have tried their own original creations, but most of them have failed.
Of course, nothing is absolutely absolute.
There are also those who have not failed to take the original route, but the popularity of the works cannot be compared with works created by these people as pure painters!
You should know that "Net King" is the most popular comic in the tribe!
It is difficult for Shadow to reach the same level by relying on originality, not to mention that he chose relatively unpopular food themes on the market.
But it's obvious.
The outside world's ideas cannot affect Shadow's determination.
Even if many people go to the shadow tribe to leave messages, it is useless.
However, as a shadow assistant, Luo Wei is gradually changing her views on "The Spirit of Eater"—
Yes.
With the completion of "Net King".
Lin Yuan has officially started to create "The Spirit of Eater" with Luo Wei!
This creative process is very difficult and is a time-consuming project.
Because Lin Yuan is going to draw a full-color comic this time!
Only full-color comics can show the characteristics of "The Spirit of Eater"!
What is shiny egg fried rice?
How can readers intuitively see how tempting the food that appears in "The Spirit of the Eater" with colorless gray lines?
It was during this process that Luo Wei was attracted by "The Spirit of Eater".
When the storyboards and stories provided by Lin Yuan were clearly visible, Luo Wei suddenly felt that this comic might trigger a food trend!
Her enthusiasm for painting seemed to be inspired by the delicious food in the story, and she worked very hard!
Chapter completed!
