0244 "Spring Things"
"My Youth Love Story Is Really Problematic" is a light novel written by Japanese writer Wataru Hang, which has topped the list of "This Light Novel is Really Powerful" for three consecutive years. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On July 9, 2012, it was announced that it would be animated on TV, and it premiered on April 4, 2013, and the second season was launched in April 2015.
Overall, this is an anime that creates a certain topic, and Lu Ge is a novel that he reads after watching the anime.
After Lu Ge gave An Cheng a rough outline of the story, An Cheng said with some doubts: "What kind of readers is this comic for?" ”
"My readers, a group of tangled literary and artistic youths." Lu Ge said with a smile.
"Would they like to read a comic like this?" As a business man in his 40s, Anjo is very difficult to understand where the selling point of this manga is.
There is only one school on the stage of "Spring Things".,The plot is just that the beautiful girls encounter something.,And then the male protagonist goes to the rescue.,The promotion of the whole main plot is the gradual warming of the relationship between the male protagonist and the female protagonist.。
It can be said that the whole story is very thin and mediocre.
What does such a comic story rely on to attract people?
Anseong is hard to understand.
"Second Five" has first love feelings to sell, literary teenagers will be attracted by the love atmosphere in it, and adults will be brought back memories by the unattainable long-distance relationship, and even those with rich emotions may cry.
Not to mention "Madoka Magical Girl", the storyline itself is extremely explosive and brainy, and the narrative method is also skillfully used to start and end, which can be said to be an exemplary comic.
As long as it's a comic-related person, after reading this comic in its entirety, I didn't say that this comic shouldn't be popular.
However, just listening to the setting and story introduction, it is difficult for people to think that this is an interesting animation.
According to Lu Ge's account, An Cheng carefully scrutinized "Spring Things", but still didn't understand where the attractive elements of this comic were, so he had to smile helplessly: "Tu Weiming can be said to be a little Bole in the comic industry back then, but in the end, he was blind to your "Second Five".
To be honest, if I didn't like the comic "Second Five" very much, maybe I would have followed Tu Weiming's choice.
Since you have proved your ability with the impossibility of one by one, then now serialize "Spring Things".
Although I am personally neither interested in this manga nor so optimistic, I will still support your decision. ”
After explaining his position, Anseong no longer discussed the content of the manga, but discussed the pre-publicity of the manga serialization with Lu Ge.
Lu Ge, as one of the three popular comics of the Soul Drawing Comics Club, will still have some pomp and circumstance when he starts serializing a new comic.
Although the decision is a little temporary, it should still be done to warm up the publicity.
This is not a field that Lu Ge is familiar with, so he just listens, and then cooperates with the promotion of the Soul Drawing Comics Club.
After discussing with Anjo, Lu Ge returned to his home and began to prepare the storyboard script for the "Spring Things" comic.
After struggling quickly, a storyboard script similar to a stick figure of a primary school student came out with half a sentence, Lu Ge suddenly remembered that the storyboard script was not the point, and the comic book characters should be made out first so that the studio could quickly familiarize himself with it.
Once the studio is familiar with the new characters and the important iconic buildings in the scene, Lu Ge will take the storyboard full of stickman drawings to the studio, so that he can work extremely efficiently.
After paying attention, Lu Ge pushed away the comic storyboard and began to construct the character design of "Spring Things", because this was to be used as a reference for those people in the studio when drawing, and Lu Ge naturally did it extremely finely.
After staying up late for two days in a row, Lu Ge handed over the character design and scene design drawings to the studio one by one, so that they could quickly familiarize themselves with them, and then faxed the storyboard script like a stick figure of a primary school student to the studio.
Lu Ge's "Poetry Manga Studio" has been expanded and divided into two parts, one part is still drawing "Digimon" manga, and Lu Ge basically doesn't care about it except for grasping the direction of the story.
The other is the basic plate of his later painting of "Second Five" and "Madoka Magical Girl", this small team, who has followed Lu Ge for a long time, is familiar with Lu Ge's style, and can well present Lu Ge's need to express his intentions in the comics, Lu Ge cares very much about this small team.
Constantly raising the salaries of the people in this team, so the dispersion of the whole team is not too serious.
Halfway through, there was a young man who left with the ideal of wanting to make a career in the comic industry, but Lu Ge was also consciously recruiting people inside.
So overall, the number of people has increased a bit, to 10.
I have to say that as far as the comic industry is concerned, this assistant team is indeed a bit much.
The average cartoonist's assistant team is 5, and the poorer and harder ones raise 1 or 2, and the 7 ones are already a lot in the eyes of outsiders.
Lu Ge raised 10 assistants to draw a comic, and if his readers knew about it, he would probably ask out loud: "None of them are big, are the comics we read still drawn by you?" ”
Lu Ge couldn't control the sound outside, as long as the cartoons drawn by the assistants had the effect he wanted.
Ruger yawned and went to his "Shige" studio on Wednesday afternoon to take a look and ask if there were any problems that could not be solved.
"Mr. Lu, because this is the first word of the comics, there will inevitably be some deviations in the control of the style, I personally hope that you can grasp the situation in the studio at any time to avoid some unnecessary troubles in the future." Yao Gang sat in the spacious lounge of the studio and suggested to Lu Geti seriously.
Recently, Yao Gang has found that Lu Ge has become more and more fond of being a shopkeeper.
Therefore, Yao Gang had to explain it in advance.
Yao Gang, who was fired by Lu Ge with a high salary, is in his 40s, and he doesn't know how many layers he has rolled in the comics industry, but he has given up his dream of being a cartoonist, with the goal of making his wife and children live a better life, and concentrates on working under Lu Ge.
As for Lu Ge, Yao Gang, who is more experienced and steady, became the leader of the entire assistant team.
The matter of coordinating and managing the assistant team is basically his view.
Lu Ge is also as good as a stream, and after listening to Yao Gang's opinion, Lu Ge nodded and agreed without much hesitation.
"Every time I open a new comic, there are always some problems, and I should stay in the studio during this time."
"I took a look at the character design, is the style of the comic this time mainly following the style of "Second Five"?" Yao Gang asked.
"Yes." Lu Ge thought for a moment and then said, "Of course, there are still some changes, the main thing is that the tone should be a little colder, and the picture should give people a cold pale white feeling as much as possible.
Although I have drawn the characters very finely, I still want to explain that the character expressions of the overall characters are a kind of expression that seems to be angry but not angry and looks a little dissatisfied, or a pale white expression that is speechless and seems to be a little thoughtful. ”
When Lu Ge said the latter paragraph, it was extremely slow.
After all, this is a literary comic, and the comic characters should have a complex and tangled charm in terms of expressions and behaviors.
"Is it that complicated?" Hearing Lu Ge's expression of going around and going around, Yao Gang opened his mouth slightly, expressing his surprise, "I thought it was just a simple mouthless character." ”
"Isn't it a bit demanding?" Lu Ge tilted his head and thought for a moment, this kind of explanation that was too idealistic seemed to be difficult for his assistants below him to understand and draw the effect he wanted.
One of the highlights of the novel of "Spring Things" lies in the strong pen power of Du Hang, which vividly describes the characters and perfectly presents the subtle psychology of the characters.
If this is to let a person with ordinary writing write the novel "Spring Things", the characters and characters written will probably become a group of inexplicable gods in the eyes of readers. Pass through. Sickness.
Corresponding to animation or comics, that is, the expressiveness of the picture, all kinds of subtle details, and the emotional changes of the characters presented.
"For the control of the character's emotions, the first word may be a little worse, but after getting familiar with it later, it should be better." Yao Gang thought for a while and said seriously, "After all, Mr. Lu's comics have always been the style with a lot of details and rich information, and we are also used to it. ”
"Well, that's good." Lu Ge nodded, not that he completely trusted the assistant, but that the performance of anime and manga was much better than that of novels with only words.
Besides, after the animation of the novel in the previous life, there are not many big problems with "Spring Things".
"I'll talk about this today, I'll go back and catch up on sleep, and come back tomorrow." Lu Ge yawned at the end of the day.
In the past two days, in order to catch up with the manuscript, there has been a lack of sleep.
Yao Gang also saw that Lu Ge's spirit was in a somewhat depressed state, so he also said goodbye to Lu Ge very wisely.
