"Teacher Yan Kai, why don't you paint snow coconut??"

In the studio, Shao Gong kept looking at Ah Xue's portrait, painting with a serious and concerned expression. www.biquge.info In the past half a month of teaching, Shaogong's talent has been recognized by Yan Kai, because he has never seen a cow with learning ability like Shaogong, and in his words, Shaogong's brain is no longer human.

"It was my dream, a childhood dream, it's not that I don't have time to paint, but if I finish the snow coconut, then my dream will wake up. ”

Yan Kai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Just like me now, Xue Ye is not finished, I am still a cartoonist." Watching Shao Gong finish drawing the last stroke, Yan Kai picked up the sketch and scanned it in the printer and uploaded it to the computer, then opened a comic editor, pulled Shao Gong over and said, "Look, now teach you to color."

Before a color sketch is born, a line drawing is indispensable. You can choose how to use it according to your preference, you can also find a lot of suitable line drawings on the Internet, of course, you can also draw your own line drawings, and then scan them and upload them to the Internet.

Then I opened the comic editor, and then opened the original line drawing file, because the mode of scanning is "grayscale" by default, so now click on the "Image" column and select "Mode - RGB Color" to change the color mode of the file to RGB mode.

The method I use here is to use the "Brush Tool" to cover the noise, first click the "Brush Tool", and then hold down the "Alt" key and click the left mouse button on the white area on the line art, to absorb the white part of the line artwork, but here it should be noted that you should be careful not to break the line of the line art. It's a time-consuming process, but if you want to make a good color art, you need to have a high-quality line art......"

Watching Yan Kai teach himself meticulously, Shao Gong studied very seriously, and while memorizing those procedures carefully, he also asked: "Except for the cover of Xue Ye, which is a color painting, the rest are all pencil drafts, why do you bother so much to learn to make color paintings!!"

Seeing him ask, Yan Kai said: "Comics, to put it bluntly, are sketches, but animation requires powerful color paintings as the foundation." Some cartoonists in the island country can also become animation designers after leaving their original professions. Therefore, those of us who started late must always stay in a state of learning. Our country's animation products have a glorious history, but with the advent of the new era, the concept of the older generation has never been able to jump out of the old concept, just take the domestic animation masterpiece "Baolian Lantern" a few years ago, its production is absolutely no problem, the story is no problem, but this kind of animation is only suitable for our taste, if we want to make animation, why not jump out of the Journey to the West, mythological stories, historical stories of the constraints, to more whimsical imagination stories!!

Several old friends have discussed these issues with me before, but I said that if we want to be animators in the new era, we must throw off all the shackles and shackles, let ourselves get rid of the old concepts, and swim in the starry sky of the new era. Therefore, the works of the Three Musketeers in our early years will be loved, because we have stepped out of our own novelty and stood in a space that anime people did not dare to think of, or could not think of. ”

Looking at Shao Gong's appearance of a good student listening carefully, Yan Kai smiled and said: "But now we are also old, but there are some things that must be passed on, although we are a half-dead new generation of cartoonists, but I believe that the future animation market in Huaxia belongs to you inheritors." ”

Now the country has realized the shortcomings of animation, otherwise it would not have made a big production of "Baolian Lantern", but those are not enough, our Chinese Journey to the West, to the island country, has become "The Most Travelogue", the novelty and personality of the characters are somewhat related to Journey to the West, but most of them are fantasized by themselves, but it is such a work, and it has also won the love of domestic teenagers. So people can gamble with our tomes, and we can learn useful things from them. ”

Seeing that Yan Kai's eyes had some yearning, Shao Gong continued: "Although my Menghang Chinese website is a novel website, it will soon create a comic channel. At that time, I want to gather the veteran "Three Musketeers" of the new Chinese comics to come to my website, so that we can unite to draw comics and make animations, and with the backing of my novel website, I don't have to worry about not having a good story to draw. ”

"Novel??"

Yan Kai listened and nodded: "It's a way, what we lack now is stories and ideas, I heard that a very popular work on the Internet a while ago is called "Zhu Xian", it is said that the physical version was sold to Sanmin Publishing House, and now the author is updating a novel called Bad Guy, and it is even more of a hot mess, even I am a little excited to read it, although he wrote Hey Dao, but I have to say that the book has passion and blood that cannot be reached by reality. By the way, that author is also called Shaogong, it can't be you!!"

"Yes. ”

Shao Gong nodded, "So we don't lack creativity and novelty, what we lack is that there are no like-minded partners, although I aspire to comics, but I can't help myself, so I need a partner to help me." ”

Hearing this, Yan Kai said: "Although the villain is popular, the content does not meet the national requirements, which is not considered." But the copyright of Zhuxian's comics must be created by us, after all, it is famous, and it has a huge weight in the minds of readers, and someone must read it when it is drawn, and I think that book can not only draw comics, but also make animations and make TV series. Then he thought for a moment and said, "It's no problem to invite me to join, I'll contact the other two swordsmen, and after your comic channel is opened, we can register an account." ”

Seeing that the other party agreed, Shao Gong smiled and smiled happily, ten years later, the Chinese animation industry is a huge piece of fat, and now having the top cartoonists in the early years to join will undoubtedly give him a boost to his future career: "Then it's decided, it's decided." ”

"It's a deal. ”

At this time, Shaogong's mobile phone rang suddenly, and when he picked it up, he heard that it was Li Yang calling, saying that he was asking him to prepare some good outfits, and there was news about their blind well competition, and it is said that the Berlin International Film Festival sent them an invitation, saying that "Blind Well" was shortlisted, and asked them to director, creator and starring to participate in the film festival.

As soon as he heard the news, Shao Gong immediately jumped up happily, and looked at Yan Kai for a while, and said in his heart that this kid had won five million.

"Great, I'll get ready right away. ”

Shao Gong agreed, looked at Yan Kai, who was not slaughtering sheep, and said with a smile: "My screenwriting work participated in the International Film Festival, and the Berlin International Film Festival sent us an invitation, now I have to be majestic, haha!!"

"That's hello. ”

Seeing that the student was so promising, Yan Kai was also happy for him.

"Although Berlin has been invited, we are still aiming for the Asian Film Festival and the Golden Horse Award for Taiwanese films, but these two are still early, and our entry list has not yet been sent. At the end of the year, if I go to Taiwan, I will definitely get in touch with Sanmin Publishing House, and then push the teacher's snow coconut to Taiwan for sale, and they are now begging me to sell them the copyright of the villain's physical book and let them distribute comics, it must be no problem!!" For cartoonists, the publication of their works is undoubtedly a great joy, as long as his works sell again after publication, he will have money in his hands again.

Unexpectedly, he accepted a student, a like-minded friend, and a partner who could help him develop his career again. Yan Kai's mood was a little excited, and he said incoherently: "That Shaogong, how can I thank you." ”

"No thanks, you are my mentor, and the guide who made me embark on comics, and my future partner, I Shaogong is not a person who does not speak of kindness, so I will definitely repay the teacher. ”

Shao Gong smiled, he was so happy.

After the afternoon class was over, he said goodbye to Yan Kai and prepared to go to the international arena to play.

Back in Sanyuan, Shao Gong told Ouyang Ke the news, which made him happy for a while, Ouyang Ke hurriedly took out his mobile phone and told the news to Sister Jin, asking her to help this Shao Gong promote it well in the circle, and Ouyang Ke also sponsored Shao Gong's outfit.

After all, he is his own partner, and he can't wear a cold coat to lose his place internationally.

When Meng Xiangting heard the news, she just smiled slightly, clenched her fists and shouted: "Well done, but I can't be happy, I have to work harder in the future and achieve more impressive results." ”

"Yes. ”

Shao Gong also responded with a fist clenched.

Needless to say, Li Yang's family must have big money and small money, at least when they go to a place like the international, people don't have to worry. Shao Gong's savings are also very rich, so he doesn't have to worry at all. It's Baoqiang, when Shaogong found him, although he was happy, he didn't have much money on him. Most of the remuneration for filming blind wells was given to his family, and now he is working while waiting for the opportunity to play internationally, but he doesn't have the capital.

Looking at his appearance, Shao Gong knew that he was shy, so he couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and said: "This is an opportunity, as long as we go to the international market, we will come back to the gold, and people will ask us in the future, at least we have participated in the international film festival, or we go on our own strength." Don't worry about money, everything is with me, you just need to cooperate with us. ”

"Shaogong, I, I will pay it back when I earn money in the future. ”

"We are brothers, and I will never forget in this life that you took care of me on that stormy night. Without you, no one would have known that I had frozen to death that night. Shao Gong looked at him with tears in his eyes, and continued to encourage: "We are much better now than when we first met, so work hard!!As long as there are people, there are brothers, let's work together to break out of the Avenue of Stars, infinitely bright." ”

"Okay, Chuang, we have been poor, cried, struggled, and now we have the opportunity to break together. ”

Bao Qiang was also surging with Shaogong's excitement, and his eyes showed a warrior-like flame.

In the end, Shao Gong uploaded the news that he was going to the international film festival to the Internet, and Menghang Chinese Network was once again in shock, and their boss was going to compete internationally with his work, which was a big deal. Taiwan's Sanmin Book Society heard that Shaogong's film was going to apply for the Golden Horse Awards in a few months, and immediately said that as long as Shaogong went to Taiwan, he would arrange a book signing conference for him, and at the moment when Shaogong came to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, the sales of Zhuxian were pushed to a new peak.

Two days later, at Beijing Airport, Li Yang, Shao Gong, and Bao Qiang checked their tickets in suits and leather collars, passed the security check, and stepped on the plane to compete in the international competition.

Due to the different time of the film festival, Shao Gong's first stop was the Berlin International Film Festival, then the French Asian Film Festival a few months later, and finally the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards in September, and they will only participate in December after the results.

The Berlin International Film Festival, together with the Cannes International Film Festival and the Venice International Film Festival, is known as the three major international film festivals in Europe, and the highest award is the "Golden Bear Award". In the early 50s of the 20th century, it was initiated by Alfred Bauer and received support and help from the then Federal German government and the film industry. The first edition was held in West Berlin from the end of June to the beginning of July 1951.

Later, it was held once a year, originally held in June-July, but later moved to February-March to compete with the Cannes International Film Festival, and lasted for two weeks. Its purpose is to strengthen the exchange of film workers from all over the world and promote the improvement of the level of film art, and it is known as the world's four major art film festivals together with the Venice Film Festival in Italy, the Cannes Film Festival in France, and the Moscow Film Festival in Russia.

The main awards of the Berlinale are the "Golden Bear" and the "Silver Bear". Among them, the "Golden Bear Award" is awarded to the best feature film, documentary, science and education film, and art film, and the "Silver Bear Award" is awarded to the best director, actor and actress, screenwriter, music, photography, art, youth works or feature films with special achievements. In addition, there are international critics' awards, special jury awards, etc.

Since the 80s of the last century, 30 to 40 countries and regions have participated in the annual screening, and about 200 to 300 films have been screened.

Since "Blind Well" has been invited, it means that he has fought his way out of the encirclement from the two hundred to three hundred, and has been shortlisted for the final stage. As long as it is new and creative and recognized by the judges, it will win the award.

A few hours later, they got off the plane, and Li Yang booked a special car in advance, which looked pretty good, at least it didn't look too shabby. The three of them got into the car and went to the scene of the film festival.

It was already crowded with people, and reporters and videographers from major media gathered on both sides, constantly using the cameras in their hands to shoot the wonderful moments of the stars.

At this time, there is no so-called blanket star to rub the red carpet here, so the people who stepped on the red carpet are almost all the main creators and actors of the film who came to participate in the competition, and the three people who were constantly flashing by the lights, Li Yang and Shao Gong almost instinctively waved their hands to the left and right sides to wave their hands to the media at the moment they walked on the red carpet, while Bao Qiang was a little restrained, but he could also go through the motions without missing a cut.

In the reporter's interview area, Li Yang and the others met another group of teams from Huaxia who came to participate in the competition, led by Zhang Yimou, and followed by several internationally renowned leading actors of the screenwriter and the movie "Hero".

Among those people, Bao Qiang saw Li Lianjie, Zhang Yanyu, Liang Chaowei and other movie stars at a glance. After seeing this, the two sides nodded to each other, after all, when they go out, they can't talk about tears when they see their fellow villagers! At least no one will look at anyone unpleasantly. After all, this is abroad, and losing people is losing face for the country.

"Shao Gong, Li Lian Jieye, my idol. ”

While waiting to be interviewed, Bao Qiang whispered in Shaogong's ear. And Shao Gong smiled slightly when he heard this, and kept waving to the media in some handsome poses, and his style was not lost to the future blanket star.

"Don't speak, we're in front of the media right now, and any action can be recorded. ”

As soon as he said this, Bao Qiang immediately quieted down, and also learned to be a young man, waved his hand in salute, and showed his signature smile.
