Li Xiaole was eating breakfast after washing, and suddenly felt that he had no obstacles at all when he came to Japan, and he had not encountered any trivial difficulties in life...... This Japanese girl seems to be not only her own translator, but more like a little nanny, this is strange, she obviously wanted to bite herself yesterday, and her attitude changed so much after one night, is it possible that Japanese women have the habit of marrying chickens and following chickens, completely resigning themselves to their fate...... But I haven't slept with her yet......

In the midst of his thoughts, Maki Horikita had already taken him straight to the parking lot through the back door, and Shueisha's manga editor Ninomiya was already waiting for them here in a car.

"Two cakes, I've already decided on the choice of the cartoonist to work with." Li Xiaole got into the car and said to the second palace: "His name is Isayama Chuang, you have to find him with me when you go back today." ”

"Isayama?" Ninomiya touched his eyes when he listened, and looked puzzled, he had never heard of this name at all, which means that this person was not favored by the editorial department in "Shonen Jump" at all.

"By the way, you received my email yesterday, did you contact Yuhiko Inoue?" Li Xiaole turned his head and asked Ergongdao.

"I couldn't get in touch, and Mr. Inoue's assistant said that he didn't answer any work calls from Monday to Friday, so we had to go directly to Kodansha to find him." Ninomiya replied.

"Are you perfunctory Director Li~ Give me your phone." Seeing him spitting, Maki Horikita directly reached out and asked him to take the phone, took out his mobile phone and called, pressed the phone horn so that Ninomiya could hear it, and then said "Moxi Moxi~~" delicately, and then asked coquettishly: "Is it Inoue-sensei's assistant?" We are Black Pearl, can we get in touch with Mr. Inoue? ”

"Ah......?" The man over there was obviously moved by Maki Horikita's cute tone, hesitated for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "Oh, it's Miss Black Pearl Films, okay, you wait, I'll check, well, now Mr. Inoue is in the cloud café, you can go there to find him, and I'll send you a text message for the address." ”

Maki Horikita hung up the phone and immediately received a text message, with a "How is it?" looked at the second palace, which made the little editor also very speechless, and scolded in his heart that these dead house assistants were all perverts, and when they heard the voice of the little girl, they were all soft, why did they yell at him.

"What? Did you ask it? Li Xiaole couldn't understand their conversation in Japanese, and asked the result of the matter.

"Then you don't need to say~" Maki Horikita smiled and hugged Li Xiaole's arm: "I'm really out of the horse, will this kind of little thing still be done, we don't have to go to Kodansha, just go directly to Mr. Inoue." ”

"Don't you think it's ...... to call your own name?" Li Xiaole looked at this national girl who was suddenly enthusiastic about him.

"No...... For fans, it should be cute. Maki Horikita giggled and smiled, looking at Li Xiaole and said: "Director Li, in fact, you are also very cute, you try to call yourself your own name, you can't be sure that you will charm all Japanese girls~~~Come~~Read it to me~~Xiaole-chan~~~~"

"Sauce, you're ......" Li Xiaole almost didn't take a breath when he listened, looking at Maki Horikita, who was intimate with him, he really didn't understand what kind of person she was...... This woman is definitely Gemini......

The three of them drove to the cloud café in downtown Tokyo, this café is on the second floor of a hotel, from the outside it looks very Japanese-style antique wooden structure, the decoration is very unique, Li Xiaole saw a sign at the door that there is no opening, there is a row of Japanese on it, looking at his puzzled look, Ninomiya immediately introduced:

"This cloud café was originally a famous café nearby, but because Mr. Inoue likes to conceive manga stories here, he bought it 8 years ago, and now it is not open to ordinary people, and only entertains manga artists from the three major manga magazines for free......"

Li Xiaole thought it was also interesting to hear it, and sure enough, at the reception window, after the second palace showed Shueisha's certificate, the three of them were able to enter.

Ninomiya took Li Xiaole upstairs and reminded: "Director Li, you have to be mentally prepared, Mr. Inoue is a very difficult person."

"It's okay, I'm a huge fan of him." Li Xiaole smiled and said with a smile, he was obsessed with "Slam Dunk" when he was a student, and he cherished every work of this comic master, and in the later stage, Inoue's comic storyboard has become an elective course in major film schools, but he has studied it countless times, and he is confident to convince the other party.

As soon as they stepped into this café, the three of them saw a three-meter-high black and white giant figure at a glance, Miyamoto Musashi like a beast holding a katana towards the entrance, as if he was about to rush over and slash at any time, and the two of them were almost invariably frightened by the killing intent shown in this painting and took a step back.

"It's actually an ink painting ......" Li Xiaole raised his head and stopped to watch, and couldn't help but be fascinated, this line, this charm...... This is definitely the best ink portrait he has ever seen in his life, which can no longer be described by the word "comics...... The simplest black and white lines alone can show such a shocking impact, and Inoue's skills are worthy of a generation of manga giants......

Li Xiaole only looked at this painting, and he was even more sure that this kind of superb expressiveness could not be shown on a small screen like TV, and the only way to move it to the big screen was to move it......

When Li Xiaole and the three walked in, the whole café was full of cartoonists who bowed their heads and pondered, and the peculiar thing was that they were not sitting on the bench, but taking off their shoes and kneeling on the wooden floor, and many of them were rustling their manuscripts...... The scene was very quiet, and everyone's expressions were solemn, as if this was not a casual café, but a "kendo hall" that pursued the highest martial arts realm.

Seeing Li Xiaole and the three of them take off their shoes and walk in from the door, their eyes looked up almost at the same time, but instead of looking at Li Xiaole, they looked at Ninomiya and Maki Horikita.

"Hey~ That's the editor of the third group of "Shonen Jump", ...... "Is he here to find a rookie painter?" "Anyway, it can't be the ...... who came to find Inoue-sensei" "That girl is so good-looking~" "Idiot, he's an idol star Maki Horikita, don't you even know him?"

Li Xiaole walked through the crowd until he walked to the area with the largest space in front of him, and saw a middle-aged man with a flat head and fierce facial features who was holding his chin with his hands, his eyes looking into the void in a daze, and the ground around him was densely packed with sketches, some were spread, some were rubbing, although he was just sitting there, but the evil aura on his body could not be covered at all, no one dared to approach him, his demeanor was very similar to the huge portrait of "Miyamoto Musashi" at the door...... It's not the outline of the facial features, but the kind of charm that is indescribable and unclear......

Needless to say, this person is the owner of this manga café, Yuhiko Inoue, one of Japan's greatest manga artists.

"What is he doing?" Horikita Maki was a little worried in his heart, and he didn't dare to step forward, so he could only turn his head and ask Ninomiya Dao.

"He's 'naming'" Ninomiya lifted his glasses and explained: "Cartoonists, every week before the submission of the manuscript, will do the same three repeated work, name, sketch, drawing, the so-called naming is to conceive the plot, and design the character's demeanor and action, this is the most difficult of the three jobs, usually takes 3 to 5 days, some manga artists have a script author, then this job will be handed over to the script writer, but Inoue Sensei has always done his own 'name' ......"

Laymen may think that 'naming' is very simple, but for a director like Li Xiaole, he deeply knows that this job is not easy, to put it bluntly, the job of a cartoonist is the same as making a movie, 'naming' is the screenwriter, the draft is to draw a storyboard, and the finished draft is equivalent to shooting...... Screenwriting is a completely lonely job, especially in the middle of the story, there are millions of choices for how the characters think, how they act, and what kind of dialogue they say, and the author must create the most suitable ......

Serialized comics are different movie scripts,Every week you have to think of a new plot.,Serialize it immediately.,There's no room for revision.,If you make an accidental mistake, it will destroy the overall story structure.,You must know that once the serialized plot is unchangeable.,The pressure can be imagined......

"What's so difficult about this, just design the plot according to what the audience likes~~ A little bit of screenwriters know how to use the method of 'saving cats'......" Maki Horikita thinks it's incredible, but it's just a comic, can you use it so entangled?

"It's not that simple...... Li Xiaole noticed that Inoue's mouth moved slightly, as if he was talking to himself, and couldn't help but take a deep breath and said: "There are two ways of screenwriting, one is to cater to the audience's preferences, analyze all the data, and get the best arrangement logic 'save the cat' rational screenwriting method...... The other is the inspiration screenwriting method that allows the character to develop on its own and let the character speak...... The former is acquired, while the latter is a talent...... A talent that surpasses all artificially choreographed ......"

All those who have watched "Slam Dunk" will have a feeling that the characters in this story are not shaped, the eyes, performances, and actions are very distinctive, as if they are living in this world, they are even more soulful than the people in our lives, even Mitsui Shou, Miyagi Ryota These supporting roles are fascinating, it turns out that Inoue Yuhiko used inspiration screenwriting to achieve this effect.

Li Xiaole was actually very shocked in his heart, you must know that in this way, you must spend a lot of time digging into your heart every day, talking to your inner characters, and constantly asking them, "Is it okay?" "I don't determine the plot and picture until I get a definite answer in my heart, and this way is simply to put my soul on the fire to squeeze out the oil and use it......

He finally knew why Inoue Yuhiko made a big leap in the characters, plot, and drawing skills in the middle and late stages of Slam Dunk...... I see......
