Chapter 11 Reservations
"Seven Weapons" is ostensibly writing about the most famous weapons in martial arts: the immortal sword, the peacock feather, the jasper knife, the amorous ring, the parting hook, and the overlord gun.
Gu Long said: "In martial arts novels, there have been all kinds of wonderful weapons...... As far as knives are concerned, there are single knives, double knives, ghost head knives, knife ring knives, ring knives, ring knives, and gold-backed chopping knives...... But weapons are dead, but people are alive. Whether or not a weapon is magical and exciting depends mainly on the person who uses it. ”
Therefore, Gu Long actually writes about the human heart and human nature, the power of personality and the power of the spirit beyond weapons.
Everyone can write about killing, but only Gu Long writes about the unique life experience of human beings when they face extreme conditions; Everyone can write about weapons, but Gu Long has penetrated the pen into the detailed and subtle spiritual world of the person who uses it.
Gu Long summed up several metaphysical weapons: laughter, self-confidence, honesty, hatred, gathering (guarding against arrogance), courage, and not giving up. In this sense, Gu Long is a philosopher worthy of the name.
"Raising a glass to pour out sorrow is more sorrowful, drawing a knife and breaking the water is more flowing", cups and knives are dead props, "lifting" and "pumping" are human actions, and the most important thing is obviously the mentality of the people behind the props and actions.
Third-rate writers write about props, second-rate writers write about people's actions, and first-rate writers write about people's mentality and wind gods.
And Gu Long's works can actually make the comics stand out the most, which is his lines.
If there are some classic lines in a comic, it is the real finishing touch!
For example, in "Parting Hook" in "Seven Weapons", there is such a dialogue-
"I know that the hook is a weapon, the seventh of the eighteen weapons. What about the parting hook? ”
"The parting hook is also a weapon, and it is also a hook."
"Because of this hook, whatever is hooked will cause parting. If it catches your hand, your hand will be parted from your wrist; If it hooks your foot, your foot will be separated from your leg. ”
"If it gets to my throat, I'm going to part with this world?"
"Yes."
"Why did you use such a cruel weapon?"
"Because I don't want to be forced to part with the people I love."
"I see what you mean."
"Do you really understand?"
"You use the parting hook, just to get together."
"Yes."
……
In fact, the most taboo thing about drawing comics is a large section of lines and instructions, a qiē should be expressed as much as possible with a painting, the lines spoken by the characters, the more refined the more flavorful, it will make the style of the comic itself or forced, a qualitative leap!
And when it comes to pretending to be forced, it is really Gu Long's forte, and reading Gu Long's articles, there will always be a special kind of compulsion.
For example, a more classic environmental description in "The Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" -
"The cold wind is like a knife, using the earth as a chopping board, and treating all beings as fish and meat.
Thousands of miles of snow will make the firmament a furnace, and melt everything into silver.
The snow will stop, the wind is unsettled, and a carriage comes from the north, and the rolling wheels crush the ice and snow on the ground, but it cannot break the loneliness between heaven and earth. ”
So when drawing cartoons about Gu Long's novels, An Yi changed another style of painting, this style of painting is not as delicate and beautiful as "Yue Nu Sword", but it is more flying and elegant, and the outline of the atmosphere is more excellent than what is depicted in Gu Long's novels.
And An Yi, as a painter who is good at ink painting, can also paint such an artistic conception!
Ordinary cartoonists will definitely find the adaptation of Gu Long's novel very difficult to draw, because it is too freehand to draw that feeling, but for a genius like An Yi who has no dead ends in all aspects, there is no problem!
If fans of ancient dragon novels come to this world and see the comics adapted from ancient dragon novels drawn by An Yi, they will definitely like this kind of comics full of original ancient dragon style!
Even Gu Long himself, when he sees the comics adapted from his novels, he will definitely be full of praise!
When An Yi finished the first part of "Seven Weapons", he continued to give it to his brother, and told him that if he mailed it again at this time, he would definitely not be able to meet the deadline of the "Rising Star" Newcomer Award, so he also asked his brother to go to the magazine that issued "The Land of Martial Arts" to submit the manuscript in person.
An Li wanted to pull her sister with her, but An Yi said that she just didn't want to leave the house...... I'm going to school soon, and I'm so annoying!
In desperation, Anritsu had to go to the magazine office in the capital Hanjing alone, and it only took two hours to take the high-speed train from Changling City to Hanjing.
That's right, although the network development of this world is at least ten years slower than An Yi's world, the construction of infrastructure is quite good, and it is completely comparable to her world, not only high-speed rail, but also airships, which is worthy of being a real heavenly kingdom.
Before submitting the manuscript to the "Martial Country" magazine, the first thing to do is to call the magazine to make an appointment, and the person who answered Anritsu's call was a female editor with a cold voice, but as soon as she heard that it was the manuscript of "Yi'an", the cold voice suddenly became eager!
Although Anli is silent in front of his sister and does more than he speaks, but outside, he knows how to observe words and feelings, and it really makes sense that the children of poor families are in charge early.
Anli's popularity in school is also quite good, he wears glasses, looks handsome, and has a mature and reliable temperament, and is very measured when getting along with people, so he can naturally gain such a good popularity, if it weren't for his poor family background, I'm afraid that some girls will chase him.
So just from the other party hearing the name "Yi An", when he changed his tone, he knew that his sister's comic called "Yue Nu Sword" must have impressed the female editor!
Anritsu was his sister's first reader, and even though he didn't like comics very much, he read them with relish, maybe there were elements of love and black, but when he saw the close-up of the last "Xi Shi Heart" in "Yue Nu Sword", he was stunned at the time!
He didn't expect that his sister could paint Xi Shi, one of the four beauties in history, so beautiful, lifelike, and vivid!
There is such a beauty in this world!
There is a painter in the world who can completely portray such a beauty!
At that moment, Anli felt a sense of admiration for his sister, and he knew that his sister must be able to do it, she was born for painting......
At this time, An Li heard the female editor's affirmation again, and he suddenly felt certain in his heart, so he chatted with the other party more and more calmly.
