Who is Jean?, He Chen doesn't know.

But Mobius's name, He Chen had already heard of it—speaking of which, he was a little ashamed, although he was famous, He Chen hadn't read much of his comics.

The style of his works is closer to adulthood, focusing on the description of humanities and society, which is generally speaking, it is not cool enough.

And He Chen's knowledge of this legendary master was only after his death - a few years before He Chen's travel, he had just died, causing a wave of mourning in the comic book industry, and it was then that He Chen learned about the comic artist.

Therefore, He Chen was extremely impressed with him.

Mobius and Mobius, in fact, the names of the two are spelled exactly the same, probably to facilitate the distinction, so there is a saying that it is translated into Mobius.

If it was directly Morbius, He Chen would be able to reflect it immediately.

When he first heard this person's name, He Chen was very strange and couldn't understand why so many masters of comics, animation, and even movies expressed deep condolences for his passing.

But when He Chen saw his experience, he deeply realized that many of the works he had seen were filled with his shadow.

Those who like science fiction movies will not forget that the impact of jì has spread to the whole world, the milestone in the history of cinema and one of the most important cultural events of the 20th century, "Star Wars"!

The Star Wars film series uses state-of-the-art high-tech and digital tools to create a space world that has never been seen before. Its description of various galaxies, civilizations, and creatures in the universe, the various strange aliens and spacecraft it creates, and the magnificent space scenes and Star Wars scenes it represents. More than ordinary people think. It is not something that ordinary science and technology can express. It can't be said that it is not a fantastic visual spectacle.

It was almost since that time that science fiction movies began to gain widespread attention.

However, many Mobius fans believe that the design of Star Wars borrows from many of Mobius's works. These include the interior of the Millennium Falcon, the desolate landscape of the planet Tatooine, and the high level of technology. It is said that some fans discovered that in an inconspicuous corner of the picture of "The Long Tomorrow", there is a machine qì person with the same appearance as the Imperial Exploration Machine. Fans believe that this is Lucas paying tribute to his idol.

He also worked on the films "Alien", "The Abyss" and "The Fifth Element", in which Luc Besson wrote the film, which begins in the desert of Egypt. The Mondosavats who flew the aircraft were each dressed in bronze steampunk armor. And when the heroine Lilou stands on the edge of the building, looking at the vertical city with flying cars coming and going, this is almost a recreation of the original scene of Mobius's comic book "The Long Tomorrow".

He is not only the design of these films, but also an important source of inspiration for these films.

It seems that it is all related to movies, but he is even more famous in the animation and comic industry.

In The Long Tomorrow, Mobius creates a dazzling vertical landscape of the futuristic city, complete with a variety of aircraft and precision aircraft, which was unusually avant-garde for its time.

Among these works. Morbius's tone is very different from a series of Westerns such as Captain Blueberry: the clean, clean lines remain the same, but a lot of lines are added to the picture.

Although it is a fantasy work. But almost all the details are worth scrutinizing.

Behind these fresh faces, historical common sense is also meticulous. ”

One of the authors of "Captain America", "Hulk", "Iron Man", "Avengers", and "X-Men", Marvel's signature, often collaborated with Stan Lee to create the Marvel world of Jack Bryant, commented.

Known as the father of superheroes, comic book master Stan Lee still remembers his wrenching feelings when he first watched "Captain Blueberry" more than 30 years later.

What surprised the American even more was that such a western comic work, full of wild and hormonal smells, was actually written by a Frenchman named Jean Guillau.

Unlike traditional American hero comics, which always shout "justice" and "great power brings great responsibility", the protagonist of "Captain Blueberry" is an anti-hero who steals, lies, betrays, and also has human weaknesses.

Among the heroic works full of tall heroes, "Captain Blueberry" has brought a huge shock to countless people.

He Chen feels that the anti-hero theme in American comics should also be inspired by "Captain Blueberry".

Stan Lee has worked with Morbius on short stories for Silver Surfers in the Marvel world.

His influence is not only in European and American comics, but also on the island countries.

Katsuhiro Otomo has encountered his own creative bottleneck - he is tired of drawing realistic manga for a long time. It was at this time that he read the magazine Starlog and saw a cartoon signed "Mobius".

The encounter was like an asteroid exploding in Katsuhiro Otomo's mind: Mobius's work is full of jaw-dropping flying machines and bizarre towns that seem to be extraterrestrial gods—a far cry from the baseball and school themes that were prevalent in the Japanese comic world at the time.

His unbridled imagination gave him a taste of the infinite possibilities of the comic world, which directly influenced his future comic creation.

Katsuhiro Otomo began to look for more possibilities in comic creation, and in addition to the realistic themes he was good at, he created a series of short stories based on fairy tales, legends, and Western novels.

The well-known 21 stories such as "The Little Match Girl", "Snow White" and "Little Red Riding Hood" have been ruthlessly deconstructed, magnifying the absurdity of these well-known stories to the extreme, spoofing and subverting them, and presenting people with a magical fantasy world.

In terms of picture style, painting language and expression, Katsuhiro Otomo regarded this series as a testing ground for his manga creation, and made all kinds of bold attempts, which led to the birth of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Don Quixote", which are very different from ordinary Japanese comics.

It can be seen that Katsuhiro Otomo at this stage was deeply influenced by European comics, especially the works of Mobius. IN DON QUIJOTE, THE DESOLATE DESERT CONSTRUCTED OF BLACK AND WHITE, THE FANTASTICAL JOURNEY OF THE EXPLORER, AND THE UNWRITTEN AND UNFINISHED DIALOGUE STORY CAN ALL BE FAINTLY SEEN IN THE WORKS OF MOBIUS, ESPECIALLY "ARZAK".

"While we are careful to depict the real world, Mr. Morbis has created a world of his own. At a lecture invited by Seika University in Kyoto, Otomo recalled that when he first entered the science fiction world of "Mobius", he turned his heart upside down, "He used very delicate brushstrokes and superb technology to show a world view that we have forgotten in front of our eyes." When I saw his work, I suddenly remembered that I used to draw comics with my imagination, and he made me realize that I had to try to create more imaginative works again. ”

From Otomo Katsuhiro's evaluation of Mobius, it is enough to see how much he admires him, and he even wants to bring Morbius's "The-Airtight-Garage" comic to the big screen, but unfortunately the final plan did not come to fruition.

If you still feel that Katsuhiro Otomo's weight is not heavy enough, then there is another person who is enough to convince everyone, and that is Master Hayao Miyazaki.

Morbius and Miyazaki are friends, and he even named his daughter after the main character in "Valley of the Wind".

And Miyazaki also considers himself a "lifelong fan" of Morbius.

"I was amazed by the way Mobius saw the world. His paintings, depicting figures in the simplest lines, contain various elements, presenting a sense of space that is both lonely and proud. I think that's the biggest attraction of Mobis. ”

The two have held joint exhibitions together in France, and it is not difficult to see the influence of Mobius in Miyazaki's works such as "Porco Rosso" and "Castle in the Sky".

is so famous that He Chen admires him even if he hasn't read a single of his comics in its entirety.

Others are cartoonists, but Mobius is a true master of the art of comics.

From Ling Yan's introduction, He Chen learned that this master was only in his fifties, free of illness and disaster, and at the peak of his integrity. Although there were no comics before He Chen, he was still an art master, and his attainments in art were very high, and he was regarded as a leading figure of European artists.

As if guided by fate, when the comics appeared, he once again couldn't help but devote himself to the comics, once again showing his coercive creative power.

As soon as he thought of this, He Chen had a headache.

This is a long-famous art master, both in terms of thought and skills, he can't teach him anything, he is not short of fame, not short of money, this MH magazine is also for the convenience of serializing his own comics, and he founded it for himself.

This means that He Chen has no chips that can attract him to join Tianman.

He Chen had even imagined that for this kind of master who was full of "thoughts", he would personally create better comics, and even defeat the now "famous" He Chen, such a thing would attract them more than anything else.

After buying Mobis and some other magazines, He Chen was going to take them back and slowly study countermeasures.

Now even if that group of publishers is willing to publish Tianman's comics, He Chen does not have the confidence to compete with Mobius in the European market with the comics in his hands now.

The interpreter said to He Chen: "Master Jean Jilao admires you very much, especially in the form of comics, he once said that 'Master Porter has opened the door to a new world', and he will also come to ...... this exchange meeting."

It seems that he will soon be able to meet this long-known true master.

If he wants to occupy the European market, then he faces only three paths:

First, dig up Mobius;

second, let Mobius stop drawing comics;

Finally, there is the appearance of works that surpass Mobius...... (To be continued......)

PS: Hey......

Ask for a whipping...... Why don't you feel it? It's so depressing.
