Chapter 62: Eyes Shine
"Well, with Jin Lao's guidance, you should have a better idea, since our novel is to pave the way for our game, and even the cooperation with the comic team is also for our game, so when writing a new game version of the novel, you might as well open your mind a little bigger. Li Fangcheng nodded and said.
"Brain hole?" Liu Shishi looked at Li Fangcheng suspiciously.
patting his head, Li Fangcheng remembered that there is no popular saying yet, so he can only explain: "Brain hole, hole is a word derived from the brain." Well, in fact, it is a description, the brain has a hole, and it needs to be filled with thinking ideas, and the bigger the brain hole, the more it will be supplemented. It usually refers to supplementing certain plots in the mind, and fantasizing about the plots in comics, novels, and reality that did not happen. ”
"So you mean, you can add more imagination to it?" Liu Shishi said with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Yes, that's what it means! The original novel has a certain influence in China and even in Southeast Asia, I know, but in world literature, there is still something missing, so in the matter of arranging a new plot, you can consider it, our protagonist, if it is a modern person who goes back to the past, in order to find a way to return to the modern era, step by step to learn the martial arts of each faction, and finally become the leader of the martial arts alliance, isn't this more dramatic?" Li Fangcheng said with a smile.
"Can it be like this??go back to the past?...... Liu Shishi's cognition was subverted all of a sudden.
"Why is it impossible, I call this time travel! Tinker Bell also has time travel, why don't you think it's unreasonable? This drama and the hedge of the times are so strong, won't players be interested?" Li Fangcheng said attentively: "Besides, this is an adaptation after all, we can retain the core worldview, as for the plot, do you think if it is written in the novel, how big will our game have to be to carry it?"
"Also, I forgot about it! The memory of the game is destined not to carry so many and complete the whole world!" Liu Shishi suddenly realized
"That's right, so it's good to focus on a main plot, otherwise it's difficult to explain all kinds of complex relationships. Li Fangcheng picked up the cup and took a sip of water.
"I think I've got it a little bit, so I'll think about it again and pull a few of them together to think about it. Liu Shishi nodded affirmatively.
"Well, don't worry too much about the progress, but I hope the novel version can be improved. After Li Fangcheng finished speaking, he took out the materials that took a few days to recompile, but his expression was very complicated.
"What is this?" Liu Shishi, who was puzzled, looked at a book of materials in front of her.
"I named it "The Legend of the Great Sage", it is a book that interprets Journey to the West from a different perspective, I want you to take the time to help me check the typos, check that it is correct, and give the cube year in charge of comics, according to this novel, to create comics. Li Fangcheng's eyes were bloodshot, looking at this novel that had been rewritten for several days and nights, he couldn't help but feel excited, this is a classic! .
"Boss, what did you write?" Liu Shishi was taken aback.
"Okay, don't ask, take it, be sure, make sure it's intact!" Li Fangcheng said solemnly.
"Well, I see. After taking a bunch of manuscripts from Li Fangcheng's hand, he suddenly felt like a thousand pounds!
She has been in the company for so long, and she has never seen Li Fangcheng explain one thing so seriously, and she has repeatedly told her at this moment, she knows how much it means to Li Fangcheng for this manuscript.
"Boss, are you available. ”
A call suddenly came from behind Li Fangcheng.
"Qinglian, are you looking for me?"
Looking back, it was Ying Qinglian, the leader of the art group of the Legend of Heroes.
"Yes, I finally saw you, if I don't hurry up to find you, I don't know where to look for it later. Ying Qinglian nodded, Rao is her heart, and she is not angry with this boss who sees the dragon all day long.
Li Fangcheng touched his nose a little embarrassed.
"Let's go, then, to your side. Li Fangcheng hurriedly followed Ying Qinglian to the office area of the art group.
As soon as he walked over, he saw a group of people painting and painting, and some people gathered together to communicate, nodding, Li Fangcheng asked, "It seems that the atmosphere is very good." ”
"Boss?"
"Hello boss!"
"Hello boss. ”
Seeing Li Fangcheng coming, everyone said hello one after another.
"Okay, let's get down to business, this is the three drafts we have recently made, the protagonist, you take a look, we are trying to conceive according to the beauty of your mean, there are three images currently created, one is on the basis of martial arts, adding some Western hard-core elements, it looks more balanced, the face is not so traditional and delicate, there will be some western cowboy-like bones, dress, some elements of martial arts are weakened, it will not be so ethereal and elegant, and it will be closer to life. Ying Qinglian picked up an A4 piece of paper and handed it to Li Fangcheng, which was a unique image.
Li Fangcheng's eyes lit up and he looked at it carefully.
Looking at Li Fangcheng, who was concentrating, Ying Qinglian continued: "Traditional martial arts characters, in order to highlight the tall and mighty figure, the body ratio of men and women is 8-9 heads, but the proportion of Western comic characters is generally not so large, and in the general aesthetics, the proportion of characters will not be deliberately lengthened in order to show the slender body. So after comprehensive consideration, I made a bold attempt to make a 6-head-to-body ratio. ”
"Very good, this attempt is a testament to your progress, and this image, I am very satisfied, very good. Li Fangcheng is very happy, this image already has a very unique personality.
The legend of the heroes in the previous life, the picture looks a little rough, this roughness, refers to a more mature performance, the characters are all adults, and the monsters that appear, such as the toad in the cave, are also very realistic and ugly, relatively speaking, there is an advantage, that is, at a specific age, it will be very popular, such as young people in their 20s to 30s, and middle-aged people.
But in addition to this part of the population, people at a young age will feel that this is too far away from their world to be interested, just think about it, children like the feeling, it must be a little more colorful, the characters will be more cute.
But here's the difficulty, why does Super Mario have so many fans from how young to half a hundred?
The beauty of the mean is not so simple as being neutral.
Therefore, if you want to take care of the juvenile group, you will inevitably have to do the Q version a little, but if you are too Q, it is easy to become naïve, so how to grasp this critical point is extremely difficult.
In fact, in this regard, we may refer to the Kung Fu Panda, which is traditionally understood as cute, which means to be loveable, and the original meaning is the characteristics of positive pleasure and then love emotions embodied in young or newborn, weak creatures or child-like things.
However, cuteness actually has another meaning, it can be used on the spiritual level to describe the innocence and the beauty of the pure heart.
Kung Fu Panda is not young or weak, but isn't it liked by so many teenagers?
Therefore, it is very important to grasp the tipping point.
The first draft given by Ying Qinglian already has such qualities. This was very unexpected.
"Really? So you're looking at the other drafts to see how it goes. Ying Qinglian smiled so much that her eyes became crescent-shaped,
"Well, the face of the second draft is too distinct to depict Asian features, but the color scheme is a little more comfortable than the first draft, so use this skin tone. As for the third draft, this draft still needs to be considered again, this one is still biased towards the hard-core style, the lines are too resolute, it feels more like a Western work, wait a minute, who painted this?" Li Fangcheng looked at this rough, but it looked very powerful, and suddenly a little familiar.
Well, this feeling of déjà vu is all too familiar!!
Although this feeling abounds in later generations, it is still rare to find great love in the present year, and the most classic is nothing more than ......
Huh!!wait!!
When this style of painting first appeared!
In 1990!
And when it first appeared, it was accompanied by a very famous manga!
"Slam Dunk" !!
A texture and memory that spans the ages!
Li Fangcheng quickly recalled, "Slam Dunk!" The Hungry Japanese cartoonist Inoue Yuhiko, the background is a shonen manga with the theme of high school basketball, when it was published in "Weekly Shonen Jump", the first time was in 1990 No. 42, and finally in 1996 No. 27 stopped updating, the single book was distributed in 17 countries and regions. Together with "Soccer Player" and "Baseball Hero", it is known as the three pinnacle works of RB sports comics.
And the current slam dunk comic was not born at all!
Since 1987, "Valley of the Wind" and "Castle in the Sky" have participated in the Hong Kong International Film Festival, due to the influx of animation into Hong Kong, the Hong Kong city has set off a "whirlwind of animation". Anime records, CDs, tapes, and laser discs were released simultaneously with Japan.
Therefore, many people from the mainland and people from Japan have also sought development in Hong Kong, and the comic industry has gradually emerged.
Because of the development of the manga industry in Japan, in 1985, a number of animation schools were established, the largest of which was Shueisha, and too many academies caused too many talents. As a result, a large number of talents left the United States, resulting in the rapid development of American animation skills. At the same time, RB animation also began to be shown on American television. RB animation is warmly supported by American audiences due to its charm and uniqueness, as well as its completely different style from American animation.
It can also be seen that the gap between Asian culture and European and American culture in this era is actually very weak, and foreign things are sometimes even more popular than domestic ones.
