Chapter 016: Imagination about comics
Liu Shuo took a deep breath, since they are all up, let's say something!
"Should I say, don't you stop?"
The people below were stunned for a moment, and then the applause became even more violent. Well, these are those who haven't been to Deyun Club, poor children!
"It seems that Liu Shuo is not very nervous!" the host said teasingly.
"It's also a knife to stretch out your head, and it's also a knife to shrink your head, I'm out of it! What other tricks do you have, just let the horse come!" Liu Shuo looked at the host defiantly.
"We don't have any moves, we just forgot to notify you!" The host spread his hands and said: "Okay, let's get down to business, Liu Shuo, everyone here has watched "League of Legends", can you share with us how to create comics? Most of you here should have thought about creating comics, is there anything worth noting about creating comics?"
"I've just started creating, so I can only say that I can learn from each other!" Liu Shuo didn't dare to preach to everyone, adhering to the good habit of modesty, he only said to learn from each other, everyone learned from him first, as for whether he learned from everyone or not, no one knew.
The host gestured to Liu Shuo, and then walked off the stage.
After Liu Shuo waited for the host to go down, he looked at the students and teachers above (the seats in the screening hall were higher than the stage).
"I'll start with my experience of creating League of Legends! I started drawing my first episode after eleven, but my first work started two years ago. ”
"Now there are a lot of city-states mentioned in the comics, and there are heroes, which I spend a lot of time thinking about. Now everyone knows Noxus, Demacia, and the War College that appears at the end of the latest episode, as well as the yodelers mentioned in Gavin's words, that is, the city of the dwarfs, Bandel City. ”
"In addition to these four places, I have also set up the police city of Piltover, the research city of Zun, the place of cultivation Ionia, the ocean city of Bilgewater, the land of the dead Shadow Isle, the land of ice and snow Freljord, the desert country of Shurima, the land of the void Acacia, and the dwelling place of the gods, the Titan Peak. ”
"There are a large number of heroes in these places, and in my early preparations, I imagined a total of more than 100 heroic characters, each of which has a unique attack move, as well as their characteristic lines, about a thousand sentences. ”
"So I'm pretty comfortable drawing League of Legends now, because my rough plot has already been set, and I can just draw it. ”
"So before drawing a comic, it is very important to prepare in advance, so that you don't have to be so flustered, once the plot is uncertain, then it may interrupt your drawing rhythm and seriously affect the speed. ”
"That's all I can say about the creative side. As for the rest, I'm also in the process of exploring, the plot setting or something, there is no good advice at all, because this thing is completely up to the individual, your idea is in place, and the setting will be smoothly completed, I can only borrow the tricks taught to us by the high school teacher: bold imagination, reasonable reasoning. ”
Most of these are fools, "League of Legends" was not thought up by Liu Shuo at all, but Liu Shuo couldn't tell them that he was reborn, so he could only put gold on his face. However, these tricks are not made up by Liu Shuo, but he used them when he set up another comic, but this comic is not yet timely, and Liu Shuo is not ready to draw it.
Liu Shuo is a reasonable party, and it's okay to exaggerate cartoons, but you must be able to justify yourself, otherwise Liu Shuo will always feel very awkward. When he designed it himself, he also designed it according to this idea, which made him suspect that he had some obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"That's all I have to say about comic creation, and what I want to talk about is about the Chinese comic market. ”
"At present, everyone should know that the country is paying more and more attention to the comics market, but the comics market is still sluggish. The first is that there are no good works, the second is that there is a deviation in the thinking of Chinese people towards comics, and the third is that piracy is rampant in the market, and genuine copies cannot be done at all. ”
"The existence of piracy has curbed the entry of foreign comics to a certain extent. Some might say why foreign comics aren't allowed in, but it's actually a political issue. We all know that films, television, books, and comics are all part of cultural dissemination, and in peacetime, the culture war is fierce. It is a reason to restrict the circulation of foreign comics and the release of foreign films in the country, to protect the market and resist the invasion of ideas!"
"Of course, this is what the state should think about, and what I want to say is that piracy exists because there is no good work. If Chinese comics are as good as RB, then it is not that we prevent them from being imported, but that we are desperately exporting them. ”
"And the most important thing to create a good work is to look at us who draw comics. The market is sluggish, or because there are no good works, if we don't do it now, the market will never be prosperous, then Chinese comics will always be like this. ”
"Furthermore, there is the problem of the concept of domestic comics. In fact, the promotion method we use is incorrect. Nowadays, anime products are generally watched through TV, and they are basically children's comics. But you know, it wasn't like that more than 10 years ago, when I was a child, I watched inspirational cartoons like "Slam Dunk" and "Prince of Tennis", these are all youth animations, not for children at all, who would show children the animation of falling in love? Sakuragi Hanamichi confessed 50 times, and he is still a gangster, who dares to say that this is a children's animation?"
"So why did these youth animations disappear later? Or is it because there are no good works of domestic animation. ”
"At the end of the day, all problems can be solved with good works. ”
"With good works, we choose good communication channels. Everyone should have watched League of Legends on the website I built! The audience of the Internet is at least young people, and most of them are young people. As long as we can capture these young people and gradually cultivate the market, when they become adults, the idea that anime is for children will gradually disappear, and although it will take time, we must start now. ”
"Some of you may know Deyun Club, it has developed step by step from a small theater, cultivated the market for ten years, and now it's time to harvest. I dare to assert that Deyun Club will come out of a large number of comedians in the future, and gradually become the leading group of cross talk. ”
