Under the guidance of the translator, He Chen and the others came to the magazine bookstore.

The magazine bookstore is not large, but the layout is simple and elegant, and all kinds of magazines are neatly displayed on the shelves, and they are well organized.

There are not many people in the store, a few people line up at the counter to check out, and there are a few branches in the store, quietly reading magazines.

There are two staff members here, a young man who is receiving customers at the counter, and a middle-aged man who is carefully reorganizing the magazines that customers have read, and putting them back in the empty space that readers have bought.

He Chen asked Long Wu to wait for him in the car outside, and Ling Yan was also interested in this magazine store, so he followed. The translator went over to say a few words to the boss first, and Ling Yan said to He Chen that the translator was asking the boss where the magazine for comics was.

The boss raised his head, glanced at He Chen's side, and then beckoned He Chen and the others to a column dedicated to comics.

It's not a comic column, it's an art book column, and there are a few books that seem to be comics.

He Chen scolded a few words in his heart for the group of publishing houses that were at a stalemate with him, if it weren't for them, maybe there would be a lot of books here.

From this pile of books, He Chen felt a strong smell of "art", and some of these magazines, He Chen seemed to have seen them when he was taking an art appreciation course.

casually took two works that looked like comics from the cover, and He Chen found that they were really comics!

No, it should be found that the comic style here is basically all color comics. But it's different from the rough style of the United States. The style here is very delicate.

He Chen saw a magazine called "Metal-Hurlant". picked it up, what attracted him was "MH", which made him always have a feeling of "comic" pinyin abbreviation, and the word for comics in this world is ManHua, and it is not surprising that He Chen feels like this.

"It seems to be French, French, which should be translated as 'metal growl'. ”

Seeing He Chen holding the magazine in a daze, Ling Yan translated for He Chen.

Depend on!

He Chen silently leaned on another sentence in his heart. The sorrow of not knowing a foreign language, you don't understand!

He still imagined in his heart what kind of artistic mood "MH" would have in this pile of books, but he didn't expect it to be such a thing full of "heavy metal" rock band style.

Are rock bands ready to march into the comics industry now?

Somehow, He Chen thought of "NANA", then "K-ON", and finally "lovelive!" cult.

If it's a group of cute girls, it's fine.

But it is sexy and passionate, unrestrained, He Chenxin, but on selling cuteness. He Chen was skeptical. After all, foreigners can only be approached from TV and movies, in his eyes. European and American Loli who are over 10 years old have lost their talent for selling cuteness.

It's a sadness.

God has given people a great power to "sell cuteness"!

But people will always be in the process of growing up, slowly lost, when people look back, want to find the former "sprout power", can no longer be found.

My daughter...... The day you were born, your name whispered in the two-dimensional world......

My daughter, I proudly watch you grow into a two-dimensional agent......

Remember - the two-dimensional family will always rule by selling cute......

I also know that when you try to use your immense mote power, you will be restrained......

But the real victory, my daughter, is to win the hearts of your people......

I sue you because when I hold the World Moe Contest - you will be crowned the Moe King!

Promoting the universal value of "cute" is one of He Chen's goals that have never changed, and he feels that the number of comics and characters is enough now, and he thinks that the World Moe Contest can also be considered.

He Chen retracted his thoughts like a wild dog on the loose and opened the comic.

Then he was surprised.

Although the magazines are mainly short stories, their quality completely exceeds He Chen's imagination.

Naturally, the painting skills need not be stated, and in He Chen's opinion, they are definitely master-level.

In terms of content, it is mainly based on fantasy and science fiction, and the content is mostly adult-oriented, and often boldly publishes works related to death and sex - this is the content that He Chen has never dabbled in.

This is aimed at the adult market, which is not just a matter of subject matter, what He Chen sees is their acceptance of comics, and He Chen also finds a reason why they are not interested in Tianman's works - contrary to Huaxia's positioning of this as a children's work, they position this as an adult work.

It seems that because of "art", they are more in pursuit of a profound expression of connotation and depth, and He Chen suddenly understood why some works in the anime of the island country were even more popular in Europe than in the island country.

Most of the works in the magazine are in color, but unlike the North American color comics that we are used to, they are carved by cartoonists one by one, so they can be presented in a rich way.

From this you can see their maverick behavior, North America treats comics as commodities, and they treat comics as art.

He Chen suddenly remembered the comics he had read, although Europe and the United States were always put together, but there was a huge difference between the two, just like Hollywood movies and European movies, they all had their own characteristics in terms of creative system, style, and content.

Generally speaking, typical American comics are superheroes' battles between good and evil, and street fights full of violence, while European comics, I don't know if it is because of the profound cultural heritage, so whether it is adventure, history, science fiction, life themes, the style of comics is not only diverse and imaginative, but also delicate and individual.

The most typical difference between European comics and American comics is that most European comics are created by individuals or studios, so their personal style is relatively strong. American comics are mostly completed by the company's studio assembly line operations, so the style is relatively unified.

This also leads to the characteristics of French comics with different styles and a hundred flowers.

Europe is not so much with North America as it is with China's pursuit. They all like to take a kind of "artistic conception" in the way of expression. It is commonly known as pretending to be forced.

The only difference is in the European outward type. And Huaxia is introverted.

This is not absolute either. Pretending to be forced is always learning from each other, pretending to be forced by each other, and further improving the compulsion. With the deepening and frequent cultural exchanges, China also began to bloom, and a number of outward-style art schools were also bred from the introverted style, among which the representative figure was He Chen - this was Ling Qianshan's evaluation of He Chen.

As for the form of He Chen's comics, it is basically a common view that it is a form of art that was born by combining the strengths of Eastern and Western visual expressions.

He Chen is not a comic book archaeologist. I don't know how comics appeared, and I acquiesced to their evaluation - anyway, they were labeled as "art", and the grade and fashion value of comics immediately increased by a large level, making it more convenient for him to promote.

This trip to the bookstore was huge, and He Chen almost immediately figured out the taste of the European market - this is too distinct, too unique.

I already have a certain plan in mind about how to attack Europe.

However, looking at the magazine in his hand, He Chen felt a dilemma in his heart.

Swept around. For the other comic magazines here, in He Chen's eyes, they can only be regarded as average. But this one of the magazines. Through comics, He Chen clearly felt the demeanor of a generation of comic masters.

This magazine contains three comics that He Chen thinks are the most exciting, and they are the same author.

First of all, from the point of view of the most basic painting skills, this author's painting skills are impeccable, all kinds of lines are matched with the brush, and the use of colors is also perfect.

This is the basics, it doesn't matter to the comics, it can only be used as the icing on the cake. However, the most rare thing is that the author's imagination is unbridled, and the story style is rich and varied, although it is a short story, but these three short comics are all different themes and different styles, which makes He Chen seem to see another hanging.

He Chen felt that the group of semi-finished assistants under his hand might not be able to compare to this person.

"Damn, when did such a powerful figure appear in Europe. It's all in French, He Chen doesn't know it at all, and he doesn't know who the author is, he muttered in his mouth.

He entered the European market, and it seems that this magazine and this author will be big enemies, after all, the strength is so strong, and it also has a home advantage, it is better to dig it up...... He Chen's heart moved to dig people again.

This author is no different than other assistants, this is a completely familiar author, you can use it directly after digging it up, and you don't need He Chen to cultivate it at all.

"Morbius...... Oh, this is the pen name of the artist Jean Guillau, a reference to the German mathematician's own name for the mathematical concept 'Möbius Belt', which symbolizes the infinite continuation of the 'Morbius Ring'......"

If it weren't for the very good preparation of this translator, then this person was very famous, He Chen took a magazine casually, and he actually knew the details of this author.

The name of the author of "......" made He Chen unable to complain.

However, this name He Chen sounds familiar, is it because of the thunderous "Morbius Ring".

It symbolizes infinite continuity, just as man's imagination is infinite.

"Jean Girau, a French national treasure, has been awarded the title of 'Chevalier de l'Art et de l'Arts' - the highest achievement of French culture and art, and he became famous before you were even born. ”

The translator may have thought that He Chen knew this person, so he only said his real name, and the rest was all admiration for the master. And Ling Yan knew that He Chen was very homely, and He Chen didn't bother to understand anything that had nothing to do with the animation career, so he made a supplementary explanation for He Chen, and by the way, he complained about what He Chen just said.

It sounds like it's not just famous, it's just world-shattering!

A name that he had heard so many times suddenly appeared in He Chen's mind, setting off a monstrous wave in He Chen's heart.

"Morbius...... Mobius?WTF!" (To be continued......)
