Chapter 496: Food and comics

According to the statistics of the box office website, the box office of "Soul of the Game" reached 60 million yuan on the first day. In many places, the single-day box office of "Soul of the Game" did not reach its peak due to insufficient film arrangement.

Afterwards, the publisher hurriedly contacted the major theaters and greatly increased the number of shows. The box office of "Gossip: Beidou Cup" continued to rise, and reached its peak on the fourth day, with a single-day box office exceeding 100 million.

Shen Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief after learning about the box office results.

The "Beidou Cup" has not been put on the screen on the earth. Now, meeting with friends in the form of a big movie can be regarded as making up for the regret.

What's more, the quality of the movie is really good, and the eggs in the back are also very meaningful. However, many viewers wanted to see the plot after the Easter eggs, so they wrote a lot of comments on Shen Xin's Weibo.

How could there be such a thing?

Shen Xin didn't consider this kind of request from the audience at all.

Back at the studio, Xi Muhan, Yan Fei, and Lu Ning sat together to discuss some details. Shen Xin passed by with a Coke. After hearing a few words subconsciously, he asked, "Are you not planning to hire a consultant?"

"Huh?" Xi Muhan raised his head and looked at Shen Xin, "Look for a consultant?"

"Yes, the characteristics of various dishes, the core steps of each dish, if there is a shortage of ingredients, what ingredients should be used instead, how to cook the same dish with different kitchenware...Do you understand all of these?"

Xi Muhan also has some headaches. Although she cooks well, she has not received professional food training after all, nor is it a gourmet. She is not very familiar with some cooking theories.

"Uh...I'm reading a book..."

"It's not enough just to read..." Shen Xin shook his head.

If they want to paint more professionally, Xi Muhan and the others really need a consultant, but she is good at cooking. Reading more books related to cooking can also cope with the past. For example, "Little Home", the author did not find a food consultant.

Compared with comics like Go, gourmet comics do not necessarily have a full-time consultant.

"If you really don't plan to hire a consultant, I have a suggestion."

"What advice?"

"You cook the dishes you want to appear in the comics yourself, so that you can better grasp the details in the comics."

"Huh?" Xi Muhan's eyes lit up, and this method is okay, "but what about the remaining meals?"

"With so many people in the studio, you can always get rid of the food? However, we may not have enough equipment. It is indeed a bit troublesome. By the way, Teacher Lu, do you know all about the drawing of the instrument and the movements of the chef?"

Shen Xin was a little worried.

If it was someone else's question, Lu Ning would definitely answer "understanding" directly, but in the face of Shen Xin's question, she did not dare to say too much.

After all, Shen Xin is also her teacher.

"Okay?"

"Alright?" Shen Xin was a little skeptical, "Why don't you two go to a cooking class together?"

"Huh?" Lu Ning blinked her eyes and looked at Shen Xin in an incredible way.

"Is it too much? Anyway, this is also a professional-related comic. If there are errors in the details, such as the position of holding the knife in different kitchen knives, the action essentials of turning the spoon, the chef's actions when cutting different ingredients, etc... …As a cartoonist, you have to master these contents? For example, kitchen knives. Have you ever cared about them?"

Shen Xin picked up a piece of paper and drew two chef's knives. One blade was bent upward, the tip and the back of the blade were on the same horizontal line, the other was straight, and the tip and the blade were in the same straight line.

"Which of these two knives is the chef's knife?" Shen Xin asked.

"The first one?" Lu Ning was not sure.

"Wrong, the second one. The tip of the chef's knife and the blade are on the same line, so that it is convenient to cut vegetables. The first is a dagger. I tell you, there are really cartoonists who use the first as a chef's knife and draw Into the comics."

Shen Xin emphatically reminded that Xi Muhan also nodded repeatedly, proving that Shen Xin was right.

"Brother Xin, don't you only make instant noodles? How do you know so much?" Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin in surprise.

"Uh... ahem... I am a cartoonist, of course I know these common tools."

Shen Xin coughed twice, what does he know about cooking?

Isn't this the content on "The Spirit of the Halberd Eater"?

Lu Ning hugged his chest, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "I've decided, after finishing "Guotu"...No, I'll go to a cooking class when I look back, and I will understand everything about all the kitchen utensils."

"Then... shall I go too?" Xi Muhan also followed.

"Also, but don't eat fat." Shen Xin whispered.

"How is it possible?" Xi Muhan's eyes widened, "I'm learning cooking, and I'm not going to eat deliberately!"

Despite this, Xi Muhan still reminded himself that he must not be greedy.

Yan Fei took a breath. In recent days, she has only relaxed a little while watching the "Hire of Go" movie.

However, despite being very tired, she is also looking forward to this comic.

"Do you serialize the long story directly, or do you draw the short story first?"

"Short story." Yan Fei explained, "Although "Guotu" is good, it is a girl manga. If you switch to a boy manga, you still have to use short comics to explore the way."

"fair enough."

Neither Lu Ning nor Xi Muhan had any serialization experience in "icfuture".

"One more thing, Teacher Lu, I want to remind you that the storyboards you draw are more biased towards girly comics, so it's best to practice storyboarding."

The storyboards of Shonen Manga and Shoujo Manga are actually very easy to distinguish. They are all based on music. The storyboards of Ai Yazawa’s "nana" and Seo Koharu's "Fuka" are different.

The storyboards of Shojo Comics have a sense of stream of consciousness. They pursue a kind of artistic conception. Many storyboards require readers to imagine. Therefore, readers will stop and think when reading Shojo Comics.

The storyboard of the juvenile comics emphasizes the smoothness of the story. If you need to express an emotional outburst, you will use full pages or spreads to express it.

"I know."

Lu Ning nodded repeatedly, this was indeed her weakness. The storyboard of Shojo Comics is indeed not popular in "icfuture".

After all ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this is still a question of whether the style matches the platform.

"Sister Yan, please **** with more snacks."

It takes a lot of work for Lu Ning to change his style. Fortunately, the name is Xi Muhan to paint, which can reduce Lu Ning's personal style. At the same time, Yan Fei has rich experience in editing.

Overall, there should be no problem.

The four people chatted for a while, Xi Muhan went to cook, Yan Fei also turned on the TV, and Hongchuan TV was just rebroadcasting the premiere of "Soul of Chess".

"Mr. Shen, I watched your performance at the premiere. The third question, I think, is quite good." Lu Ning blinked at Shen Xin.

"I'll just say it casually, you can just listen to it." Shen Xin waved his hand, knowing that Lu Ning was also skeptical of those words.

No matter what others think, those words are indeed Shen Xin's true thoughts. As for, a few people believe that it is beyond his control.
