Chapter 114: Teach you how to draw comics
Time has come to the beginning of July in a blink of an eye, Chen Lang is still in a hurry to record his first record, and the last song of the ten songs is only the last song to be completed, but maybe because the recording is about to be completed, Chen Lang is a little too excited.
The last song was always not recorded properly, and Gu Jiahui became the same as Chen Lang when he recorded it for the first time, and kept shouting "stop...... Stop...... Stop ......"
The result was that the last song took many days and was not recorded, seeing the angry Gu Jiahui, Chen Lang sat on the side depressedly, Chen Shufen stepped forward and said, "Chen Lang is still recording for the first time, it is normal that emotional control is not in place, if it is so calm all the time, it will be strange, and it is normal for the state to fluctuate, haven't we been prepared for this a long time ago." β
"That's what I said, but he was in a good state before, and he recorded five or six songs in a row, and it looked like he was about to end perfectly, but he suddenly got stuck, which was really depressing. There is really no way to let Chen Lang rest for a few more days, he is also tired of this child. Gu Jiahui sighed and said.
Chen Lang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, although he often exercises, he is also a little unbearable to record such a high-intensity record, it is really ten minutes in front of the stage, and ten years of work off the stage. As a big star, under the glamorous appearance is countless sweat and persistence.
In my previous life, as an otaku, I also knew that celebrities were hard, but now it's really my turn, and I really feel it and understand the hardships, I really don't know how the Hong Kong stars in the first ten years did it shoot seven or eight movies a year, and what is even more terrifying is how a desperate Saburo like Andy Lau did it for decades.
Chen Lang was a little happy when he heard that he could rest for a while, and he was ready to take a good rest after taking a taxi home, and he would make up the daily manuscript of "Xun Qin Ji" tomorrow.
Chen Lang came home and saw that there were still two guests at home. One is Manager Liu and the other is Qi Wenjie.
Chen's mother was cooking in the kitchen, Chen's father was accompanying the two guests, and her sister Chen Yun was flipping through something.
"Mom, I'm back." Chen Lang shouted into the kitchen, then sat on the sofa and smiled at the two, "Uncle Liu, Brother Jie, hello two, is there anything good to look for me." β
"It's really a good thing, the character design of "Zhu Xian" has been determined, and I want to ask you to comment on it." As soon as Qi Wenjie finished speaking, Chen Yun handed over the things in his hand to Chen Lang, which turned out to be the character design of the novel "Zhu Xian".
Chen Lang took the sketch and looked at it carefully, first of all, the first one was the character drawing of the actor Zhang Xiaofan. Chen Lang felt dissatisfied at first sight, and then picked up other character design drawings, and his face turned green for a while.
Perhaps influenced by the comic style of later generations, Chen Lang looked at the character in front of him as if he was looking at a children's villain book, and what is the shape of the character design? Big sideburns, bell bottoms, Chinese face, my God, Chen Lang is a speechless mess.
What Chen Lang has been worried about has happened, he only cared about selling the comic adaptation rights of novels before, and he didn't know what comics in Hong Kong are like now, so he went to buy a copy of "Dragon Tiger Gate" and looked at it, but he was directly stunned when he saw it.
Uniform big sideburns, bell bottoms, thick eyebrows, big eyes, Chinese face, and a body of muscles. The protagonist is better, but it's also very naΓ―ve, and in the eyes of Chen Lang, who was influenced by Riman, in later generations, it was simply painted by a three-year-old child.
Of course, Chen Lang's drawings are not necessarily better than others, but as a Hong Kong godfather-level cartoonist, your classic masterpiece is actually like this? Chen Lang thought again, it is only 1981, and Hong Kong's economy has only begun to take off not long ago, and everyone's attention to the entertainment industry has only slowly increased, so many things are still relatively rough now.
However, at this time, Japanese manga and American manga were already better, because people were economically developed and it was a rich country, and people did not have to be busy filling their stomachs, but paid more attention to spiritual enjoyment.
Everyone has extra money to invest in entertainment, so naturally there are people who provide services, and the development is also very rapid, so the development of comics in the United States and Japan is already very good, but the newly developed Hong Kong is much worse, so the current comics will seem so simple, but this is already a rare classic in the eyes of comic fans at that time, affecting the works of a generation.
In the 80s, Hong Kong comics also had four famous novels, namely "The Palm of the Gods", "Drunken Fist", "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Chinese Heroes". The first three works are works of three different genres, namely costume martial arts, modern kung fu and modern fighting.
But you can find that the style of these three comics is almost identical, of course, these are all drawn by Huang Yulang, of course, it is like. (In fact, it was the first few issues painted by Huang Yulang, and then they were all drawn by the employees of Yulang International) from this can show that the Hong Kong comic industry at that time was such a painting style.
The real transformative impact was "Chinese Heroes", whose author, Ma Wing-shing, was a well-mannered young man who sparked the wave of innovation in Hong Kong comics. Changing the style of Hong Kong comics from exaggerated to realistic, at least Chen Lang looks more normal and comfortable, of course, there is still a gap from the gorgeous and delicate painting style of Japan.
Chen Lang has always admired the Japanese comic style so much that he doesn't respect it much, although he has also frantically chased "Naruto" and "Death" in the three major migrant manga, but now Chen Lang is thinking about whether he can bring the painting style that has matured in Japan and is popular in the world to the current Hong Kong comic industry.
At the same time, using China's longer history and countless myths and stories, packaging Chinese culture, dumping it throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia, will not be overwhelmed by Japanese comics like later generations, resulting in a long-term trough period for the entire Chinese comics industry.
So Chen Lang directly picked up the pen and wanted to show Qi Wenjie the gorgeous and delicate painting style of the later generations, but Chen Lang made the people around him laugh as soon as he put down the pen, because Chen Lang had never learned comics at all, and his painting was a mess, and Chen Lang, who was in a hurry, scratched his ears and cheeks.
Qi Wenjie looked at Chen Lang's appearance, suppressed his smile and said, "Lang Lang, have you already thought about the character design, so how about I draw it?" β
"Okay, but you have to draw according to my instructions, don't bring in your previous comic skills and experience, you know, you're a comic machine now, you don't have your own mind, okay?" Chen Lang saw the smile in Qi Wenjie's eyes and said viciously.
"Okay, you say, I'll paint, I won't paint like you, hahaha......" Qi Wenjie said in the end, he couldn't hold back his laughter, and the others also laughed.
Chen Lang had no choice but to pretend that he hadn't heard it, according to the memory in his mind, imagining the exquisite and evil character design, and began to let Qi Wenjie draw, of course, Chen Lang didn't understand comics, comic terminology and the like, so he could only do his best to organize the language to describe it, and Qi Wenjie created paintings according to Chen Lang's description.
At first, the two did not cooperate tacitly, but later Qi Wenjie seemed to understand the great charm of this completely different style of painting, according to Chen Lang's description and his own understanding, the two gradually became more and more tacit, one said, one painted.
The others couldn't wait to start dinner, while Chen Lang and Qi Wenjie were still immersed in painting, no matter how they screamed. When the character design of the first heroine Lu Xueqi was painted, it took two hours, and at this time, Manager Liu had already left, Chen's father and Chen's mother were watching TV, Chen Yun saw the two of them raise their heads, and they came over curiously to see the results of the two of them for two hours.
Chen Yun picked up the sketch and looked at it, and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful, it's too gorgeous, it's too perfect, this is the real fairy, this is the Lu Xueqi in my mind." β
Chen's father and Chen's mother also came over to take a look, but they were also stunned. Bringing the mature Japanese comic style of the 21st century to Hong Kong in 1981, when comics had just started, the shock can be imagined.
As for Qi Wenjie, he has been staring blankly at the manuscript he completed after the character design was finished, probably because he didn't expect it to be completed by himself, and then suddenly woke up and seemed to come back to his senses, staring at Chen Lang deadly, "Lang Lang, you ...... You...... You're such a genius. I now admire you for the five bodies that I admire. β
