Lin Yuan had heard of the comics in the three treasure chests.
He certainly didn't remember the specific sales of each comic, but in his general impression, the "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" he chose was considered a very influential comic.
The sales of this work also seem to be very high.
After all, it is one of the most famous food comics on the planet.
But this time, we are not creating a new food genre in comics.
The comics industry on Blue Star is still very developed. There were some popular food comics a long time ago, but in recent years few people have drawn food comics.
It is relatively niche, but not absolutely niche.
Lin Yuan and Luo Wei learned all this when they were chatting.
Compared to Lin Yuan, Luo Wei is very knowledgeable about comics and animation.
The so-called senior otaku, hardcore anime fan, and modern fujoshi is Luo Wei.
Now that the comic has been confirmed, Lin Yuan should consider how to serialize the comic...
First, let’s establish a premise:
This comic has to make money!
The "Prince of Tennis" comics serialized in the tribe are basically a work of love.
Because Lin Yuan lacked reputation as a painter, he was willing to serialize it for free to readers. Besides, the comics of "Prince of Tennis" were not free, so he took advantage of the system-adapted novel.
This time is different.
After all, I spent 10 million to customize "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma". If it doesn't make money, wouldn't I be losing a lot of money
Lin Yuan would not do business without capital.
Taking this into consideration, the serialization of this comic must be profitable.
Think of this.
Lin Yuan read "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" using quantum reading, and also learned the story behind this comic.
It turns out that the "Food Wars! Soul" on Earth collapsed in the later stages.
Because this comic referenced the concept of superpowers in the later stages of its serialization.
The setting of superpowers is extremely fatal to food anime.
The portrayal of people with superpowers in comics is just that they are powerful. These villains with superpowers are inexplicably powerful and rely on their superpowers to become powerful.
The psychic defeated the protagonist by relying on his ability to use his powers at will, and was ultimately defeated by the protagonist because of the inexplicable bloodline of the other party -
What the hell
It was a good comic, but in the end it brought up the theory of bloodline that is often used in fighting anime. No wonder it was cut short.
However, this is also a bad consequence caused by the publisher's forcible intervention in the cartoonist's creative rhythm, and the author is only half to blame.
Coincidentally.
In "Prince of Tennis" on Earth, alien-like enemies appeared in the end, causing the comics to completely collapse. It seems that the collapse of the plot is a process of brain-opening.
So it’s just like the Prince of Tennis.
After some systematic classification and integration, the length of "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" was shortened and the plot was arranged within a reasonable range.
certainly.
The length of the comic is inevitably shortened as a result.
Considering Shadow's reputation, Lin Yuan felt that finishing the work before it collapsed would be a good choice.
Now Lin Yuan has a much longer-term vision and is no longer just thinking about making money.
Look at Chu Kuang, isn’t it because his books have a good reputation that so many people buy his new book
That's right.
There is also a small background story about Food Wars!
The author of this comic was once a book artist, but later he became a famous artist, so the style of "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" has some erotic elements, and after the characters eat delicious food, their clothes will explode.
Understand the applause.
Lin Yuan does not intend to change this feature. Since the original version can be accepted by the public, why should Lin Yuan forcibly castrate the readers' benefits
…
The next day, he came to the studio to upload the "Prince of Tennis" content that needed to be uploaded that day. In front of Luo Wei, Lin Yuan took out several character images that he had completed at home last night.
"Who is this?"
Luo Wei saw the first painting that Lin Yuan took out. It was a red-haired boy of ordinary height, wearing a blue-gray coat, with a cut scar on his left eyebrow. He looked very energetic.
"His name is Yukihira."
Lin Yuan introduced: "The male lead of our next comic, his father is one of the best chefs on Blue Star, so his dream is to become one of the best chefs on Blue Star."
"Food comics?"
Luo Wei understood as soon as she heard it.
Lin Yuan nodded and took out the second character image. It was a girl in a black school uniform on the upper body and a black short skirt on the lower body. Her blonde hair reached her waist, her expression was full of pride, and her figure was also top-notch. Just by looking at the character image, Luo Wei could associate it with the character's personality.
"Her Majesty?"
Luo Wei guessed.
Lin Yuan nodded hesitantly. This girl could almost be considered the heroine. There weren't many emotional scenes in Food Wars!. There were two girls who had emotional entanglements with the protagonist, and this girl had a stronger presence.
Immediately following.
Lin Yuan then showed Luo Wei several other important comic characters from the early stages. Luo Wei was Lin Yuan's assistant, and if he wanted her to participate in the creation of the comics, he had to first make her familiar with the characters' images.
"What about the plot?"
The characters that Lin Yuan came up with are pretty good, and the overall style is relatively popular. The difference from "The Prince of Tennis" is not particularly big, but there are indeed some differences in the details. Compared to these, Luo Wei is more concerned about the plot of the comics.
"The plot..."
Lin Yuan said, "The protagonist, Yukihira, is a middle school student whose family runs a restaurant. He takes his father's cooking skills as his goal and continues to hone his cooking skills every day. But one day, his father asks him to enter the culinary school Totsuki Gakuen."
"What else?"
"Totsuki has a tradition called Shokugeki, where two chefs compete in a cooking contest. Therefore, this anime will have a lot of Shokugeki-like plots, and of course the protagonist can basically win."
"… "
Luo Wei was thoughtful.
Just listening to Lin Yuan's story, she didn't have a very intuitive concept. The only feeling she had was that it was ordinary. It was nothing more than a story about the protagonist constantly competing with others in cooking skills and always winning. Luo Wei had watched some food anime, and they basically all followed this routine. This is also the limitation of food works. If there is no competition in cooking skills, just praising how delicious the male protagonist's cooking is will definitely not attract readers for a long time.
And at this time.
As "The Prince of Tennis" is serialized to the later stage, the comment section of the tribe is becoming more and more lively. The so-called Shadow is a little transparent is actually just a ridicule relative to Chu Kuang and Xian Yu. Who can blame Chu Kuang and Xian Yu for being so successful in their respective fields
Compared with the two of them.
The shadow is slightly transparent.
But leaving these two people aside, Yingzi, the author of the "Prince of Tennis" manga, is not a really unknown cartoonist. With tens of millions of fans, he is at least a new star in the comics world who is highly regarded in the comics circle.
