Next chapter
"This is your new comic book setting?"
Yu Qingya knew that her lover had been busy with the new comics for the past two days, but she didn't ask much, she would naturally know when she should know.
Today, Yu Qingya finally knew that the new comic that her lover has been busy with in the past two days is the basketball comic "Slam Dunk" with the theme of sports activities.
In this regard, Yu Qingya expressed concern.
Yes, Yu Qingya is not optimistic about the future of "Slam Dunk" comics, it is undeniable that basketball is a popular sports activity nowadays, but basketball comics are niche works like basketball novels.
If not, there are many cartoonists and online writers in the world, so why are there so few comics or novels about basketball?
In fact, basketball novels in this world are more popular than basketball comics, after all, online novels are basically from the perspective of the protagonist and slowly unfold the plot, even if the supporting characters are not brilliant or even brain-dead, they can be ignored, as long as the novel makes the reader look cool, anyway, online novels are defined as the world's most nutritious "fast food text".
Comics are different, comics are multi-person perspectives to unfold the plot, this is the same as filming, in addition to the male number one, there are also male two, male three, male four, male five, etc., if everyone's acting skills are too different, is the picture shot miserable?
In the same way, there is no market for basketball comics because the basketball game is not a show for the protagonist alone, a regular basketball game requires at least ten people to participate, and it is naturally difficult to draw more characters, after all, everyone's expressions and actions cannot be a fixed template, otherwise it will become a vase.
In addition, basketball cartoons are competitive cartoons based on basketball, and the characters in the paintings must be in motion for most of the time, so the characters in the paintings have a large range of movements, which also involves a question, does the cartoonist know enough about the shape of the characters? Does he have a certain attainment? If the cartoonist does not have this attainment, then he will not be able to draw an excellent competitive comic at all.
Besides, cartoonists and novel authors are mostly otaku who don't like sports, and they don't know enough about basketball, so will the basketball cartoons drawn be nondescript? Basketball novels rarely have two protagonists and multiple protagonists, and the plot is easy to control, but the comics are difficult, and it is difficult to control the characters too much, and if you can't grasp a degree, it's easy to turn against the guest.
"Yes," Lin Tianbao saw that his lover put down the outline of "Slam Dunk" after flipping through it a few times, and couldn't help asking, "What do you think is the problem?"
Yesterday, it was late after Lin Tianbao set the character of "Slam Dunk", and he didn't disturb his girlfriend's rest, and he couldn't wait to "offer treasure" when he got up this morning, just waiting to be praised like a child.
I remember in my previous life, my girlfriend liked the anime "Slam Dunk" very much, but her favorite anime character was different from him, and his girlfriend loved Kenji Fujima, who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
I have to say that the anime "Slam Dunk" is really excellent, not only the protagonist is brilliant, but the supporting roles are also very brilliant, in addition to Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, Mitsui Shou, Sendo Akira, Miyagi Ryota, Akagi Goken and other anime characters have their own fan camps.
This shows the profound creative skills of its author.
In fact, compared to the beautiful and delicate painting style of the girl's comics, Inoue Yuhiko's painting style is rough and heroic, but it is unique and tends to be realistic.
Especially in the later stage of "Slam Dunk", Inoue's painting style tends to mature, and the storyboard is even more perfect.
"It's not that there's a problem, it's that there's a problem everywhere, especially when it comes to basketball. ”
Yu Qingya watched the plot and character design of "Slam Dunk", the protagonist is undoubtedly Hua Sakuragi, but Liu Chuanfeng's role in the story is almost comparable to Hua Sakuragi, and what makes Yu Qingya even more entangled is that the girl who the protagonist has a crush on has always had a crush on the cool Liu Chuanfeng, the key is that Liu Chuanfeng's character design is not annoying and very pleasing, of course, Hua Sakuragi as the protagonist is the same, so Yu Qingya can only silently pity Sakuragi's classmates.
Fortunately, "Slam Dunk" is a comic, if it is an online novel, believe it or not, the glass-hearted reader clicks "x" at the first time?
Is there a problem anywhere?
Lin Tianbao looked puzzled and said: "What's wrong with the theme of basketball? I think basketball is very popular nowadays, those basketball fans are potential consumers of "Slam Dunk", and the audience of "Slam Dunk" is the majority of teenagers. ”
"You know that basketball is one of the most popular sports nowadays, don't other cartoonists know it?
Yu Qingya is also an anime fan, but after graduation, she was busy with work and love, and she didn't have much time to watch anime, as far as she knows, there has not been a basketball comic animation over the years, not only basketball, but also football, volleyball, baseball, rugby and other multiplayer sports sports have not been successfully animated, and some comics have been serialized for 1-2 episodes and the market response is not good.
The one-on-one comics are slightly better, and at least in recent years, there have been successful animes, such as Go, chess, tennis, badminton, and table tennis.
In short, cartoonists are reluctant to touch multiplayer sports comics, newcomers touch one to die, and masters touch one to pounce.
Lin Tianbao's heart moved, and he quickly asked Pig to search wildly, how did he know why? The day before yesterday, he searched the Internet and saw that there was no "Slam Dunk" and anime with a similar style in this world, so he started to make an outline.
After more than ten seconds, Lin Tianbao finally knew why, that is, cartoonists in this world are not good at drawing sports comics, especially multiplayer competitive comics.
Failure is the mother of success!
In the comic industry, there are very few authors who can draw gods, let alone compete in comics, cartoonists run to draw sports comics to test the waters, and when they see that the signs are wrong, they quickly retreat, and dare to ask if this can improve the level? How can they succeed without experiencing failure? No wonder the world can't come up with a decent sports anime.
The corners of Lin Tianbao's mouth rose, and he said confidently: "Because they don't have good stories, and I'm good at making up stories." ”
Fortunately, there is a shih shi in the eyes of the lover, and Yu Qingya likes to see the lover's confident appearance, but Lin Tianbao's arrogant appearance is easy to pretend to be weak in the eyes of others.
"You, you, how can I say hello? Have you been getting a little carried away a while ago? Teen comics are not children's animation, I'm really afraid that you will fall from the sky. ”
Yu Qingya has always been not optimistic about "Slam Dunk", as the saying goes, the higher you stand, the more painful the fall, Yu Qingya is really afraid that her lover will lose her footing from the clouds.
Lin Tianbao held his girlfriend's jade hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have a giant heart, I can completely withstand the blow of failure, and what others can't do doesn't mean that I, Lin Tianbao, can't do it." ”
If "Slam Dunk" becomes an instant hit, then Lin Tianbao will open a new era of sports comics, otherwise, then make persistent efforts! It's a big deal that "Football Player", "Baseball Hero", and "The Prince of Tennis" take turns to play.
