Chapter 886 Scene 886 The Legend of the Blackboard
"As long as I can continue to draw, I can't stop publishing, which is the minimum professional ethics of a cartoonist." Inoue Yuhiko sat cross-legged on the ground, with a determined expression similar to that of a samurai on his face, and shook his head fiercely:
"If I influence the current serialized work for the sake of my previous work, which is very irresponsible behavior for us readers, then I don't deserve to be a manga author at all."
Seeing Inoue Yuhiko sitting on the ground, with a painful look on his face for the first time, Maki Horikita was also stunned, and suddenly understood that the uncle in front of him was a real cartoonist, not only did the anger in his heart disappear, but he couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart.
"I really don't have time to come to Inoue-sensei." Ninomiya also sighed to Li Xiaole next to him, in the serialized comics, ordinary cartoonists are eager to break the day in half to use, how can they have time to be an animation producer, it seems that the animated movie "Slam Dunk" is impossible to take shape...... The people around him also sighed deeply when they heard it...... Such a great opportunity should have been missed like this, I really don't know if I will be able to see the animated version of the perfect national competition in the future......
Li Xiaole didn't seem to be discouraged, just looked at Inoue Yuhiko and asked, "Mr. Inoue, your most difficult job every week should be 'naming', right?" How long does an average week take? ”
"About 5 days......" Inoue Yuhiko replied, not knowing what Li Xiaole was asking for this.
"Got it, that means if you can have a plot and storyboard for the next three months now, then you have time to work part-time, right? Two days a week is fine, right? Li Xiaole asked.
"That's the way it is, but I can barely come up with a week's serialized 'name' content in 5 days, do you want me to make 2 months of 'name' content in one go in the past few days?" Inoue shook his head with a smile and said, "It's impossible. ”
A few cartoonists next to him couldn't help laughing out loud when they heard it, this Chinese director is really a layman, and he actually asked the cartoonist to come up with 3 months of "naming" content within a few days, which is not realistic at all, even if it is the "god of comics" Osamu Tezuka, who is the best in Japan, in the speed of the manuscript, when magically serializing 13 comic works at the same time, he can only "name" the manuscript for two weeks in one day, and let people conceive the "name" of the three-month serial weight in one go, what kind of joke is this......
Li Xiaole knew that now that Inoue had been shaken, he had to completely leave him speechless in front of everyone, so that he had no reason to refuse himself, so he got up with a smile, pointed to the rows of blackboards used to practice drafts on the wall and asked, "Teacher Inoue, can I use this?" ”
"Please~" Inoue didn't know what he was going to do, so he instructed his assistant: "Wipe the blackboard clean." ”
Li Xiaole took out a piece of chalk from the chalk box on the ground and tossed it in his hand, while mentally calculating the area of the blackboard here, all the walls of this huge café were equipped with blackboards...... The overall area is very huge, and the storyboard of the serialized episode is not considered the background environment...... There should be an average of 40 sheets...... Four words in one month, 12 words in three months, that is, a total of 480 storyboards...... Well, as long as the drawing is smaller, the area of the blackboard should be enough......
Li Xiaole measured the size slightly with the palm of his hand, looked down at the development progress of the plot on the sketch of "Wanderer" on the ground, and then picked up the chalk and began to draw.
Seeing what Li Xiaole was drawing on the blackboard with a chalk "da-da", everyone was confused, what the hell is this guy doing? I only saw him sketch the characters from simple lines and a few strokes, and then slightly retouch and sort out some details, and even draw bubble-like dialogue......
Inoue opened his tightly closed mouth for the first time, and this is the follow-up storyboard of "Wanderer...... This guy wants to work as a script writer for himself? Help yourself with the work of "naming" and storyboarding? What's the joke...... This speed is too fast, why didn't he even think about it...... Start writing?
The chalk "clicked" kept ringing, the scene was silent, and everyone was stunned when they understood what Li Xiaole was going to do...... He wanted to draw the follow-up storyboard of "Wanderer's Walk" on the blackboard on his own...... Ninomiya, the editor of Shueisha, looked at it and felt that this Li Xiaole was simply crazy...... But he immediately seemed to remember something, and he was stunned again.
Wait, this behavior looks like I've seen it somewhere, by the way, storyboard on the blackboard...... Isn't it in 2004, when the sales of "Slam Dunk" exceeded 100 million copies, and the blackboard of 23 classrooms in an abandoned middle school classroom of Yuhiko Inoue was drawn with chalk, depicting the legendary events in the storyboard of the finale of "Slam Dunk...... Is this guy deliberately challenging Inoue-sensei?
Everyone else present realized Li Xiaole's intentions, and everyone took a deep breath, this guy ...... I really don't know how thick the sky is...... Can you pass the storyboard with such a thoughtless storyboard...... Mr. Inoue himself is here, does he want to fool around casually...... That's naïve, isn't it?
But just when everyone wanted to discuss and ridicule, they suddenly found that Li Xiaole had finished drawing the first small blackboard, and the 8 storyboard scripts were completely presented in front of everyone.
"This guy...... It's a ......" A manga artist in his forties stepped forward with a surprised face and was about to touch the blackboard with his hand when he heard Yuhiko Inoue yell: "Don't touch it!!" You idiot! The middle-aged cartoonist took a step back in fright, Inoue Yuhiko stood in front of the blackboard with a gloomy face, and the others next to him were also fascinated by the look......
Although the development of the plot cannot be seen in these 8 storyboards, Li Xiaole's character lines, angles, and the rhythm of the plot are almost perfect, not like a layman at all, it is simply a profession...... No...... It should be said that he is a top cartoonist......
"Two cakes, what's wrong? How did Director Lee draw? "Maki Horikita doesn't understand this, but he sees that these otaku painters are all stunned.
"If you only use the storyboard line draft......" Ninomiya was also a little dazed at this time, and he was stunned for a long time before he reacted and said: "Li Sang is on par with Mr. Inoue...... No...... If you count the speed...... He may be even better than Inoue-sensei. ”
"Scared ......" Maki Horikita opened his mouth slightly, and immediately laughed again: "I knew that Director Li was not an ordinary person......"
After picking up the chalk from Li Xiaole, dozens of cartoonists on the scene stopped their work, all gathered in front of the blackboard, everyone looked at Li Xiaole's amazing performance in amazement, no need to think, no doubts, no repeated revisions, one by one, drew each storyboard line drawing...... 10 sheets, 50 sheets...... 100 ...... 200 ......
From morning to afternoon, until the evening, Li Xiaole continued to paint like a machine, the whole café was silent, and the blackboard on the walls was slowly filled with his paintings...... Everyone gradually saw that these artworks were definitely not perfunctory, but completely carefully choreographed......
Especially in the storyboard into the "Drifter" can be called the climax of the fight since the serialization, the protagonist Miyamoto Musashi and the old enemy Yoshioka Ichichi, the battle between the protagonist Miyamoto Musashi and the old enemy Yoshioka Ichi, once slashed the opponent's 70 people can be called the longest span of the bloodiest fight... Li Xiaole almost did not hesitate, and painted a wonderful fight scene with one stroke, in which the tension of the characters' movements, the impact of the blood splashing scene, each sketch can make people feel the character's breathing, fear, anger......
The picture full of courage made everyone tremble in their hearts, and they couldn't help clenching their fists with blood, knowing that this was just a line draft...... What would happen if the finished painting was actually completed......
Several young cartoonists can't help but secretly turn on their phones and start recording this video to spread on the Internet.
"Bastard...... How can you record, this is not serialized yet! The middle-aged cartoonist next to him angrily reprimanded him, and the young man who took the video quickly apologized and turned off his mobile phone.
"Everything that happened here today is not allowed to be revealed to the outside world, otherwise you will not come in the future." Inoue Yuhiko turned his head and said coldly, and all the cartoonists nodded hurriedly like pounding garlic, you must know that these people have not yet mixed up, and it is thanks to the care of this manga master that they can conceive and paint in this quiet place, and they can also enjoy free coffee...... Who's going to lie to themselves......
But by this time, the video had already been uploaded...... On the Yahoo Japan manga forum, someone soon saw this video, this video does not have any title, only a person's back facing the blackboard, constantly drawing a storyboard, although many people think this video is a little inexplicable, but soon some manga fans found out that this is the storyboard of "Drifter".
"Who is this man...... Wow, the speed is terrifying...... Is it Inoue himself? "No, Inoue's hair is almost gone, this thick-haired guy is obviously a young man~" "This guy is really well drawn...... That fight storyboard, my God...... How did those actions come up with. The comic friends on the Internet were amazed, and the replies quickly surpassed all other comic themes.
In the "Shonen Jump" building, a man in his 50s with a manuscript is sitting at the desk of the editorial office, drinking coffee and closing his eyes.
"Mr. Tetsuo Hara, how is it ~ Is there any news about your new work?" The sweet-looking female editor with freckles on her face next to her approached him and asked him adoringly.
"Not yet, Editor-in-Chief Fujii is watching." Tetsuo Hara slowly opened his eyes and smiled modestly: "I must give some opinions and revisions, after all, the market for realistic bloody fighting comics is not as good as before." ”
"How come, you are sure to pass it at one time, your "Fist of the Big Dipper" is the eternal pride of our Shueisha." The female editor smiled.
"Yoshino, you have the sweetest mouth, and you will coax me this old guy~~" Tetsuo Hara said with a smile.
A middle-aged editor with a Mediterranean hairstyle sitting in the corner also laughed and said: "Mr. Tetsuo Hara, don't be modest, I heard that you plan to end the 9-year serialization of "Fist of the Sky", this new work "The Legend of Oda Nobunaga" should be even more exciting~"
While the two were patting Tetsuo Hara's ass, an editor next to him who was searching for information accidentally clicked on Yahoo's comic forum and saw this video that was pushed to the headlines...... immediately shouted: "Come and see~ This person is simply too godly~!" ”
All the editors rushed over, and Tetsuo Hara followed, and he watched as the people in the video rustled on the blackboard......
