PS: Today's second update, the author has to go to work every day, it's really every day! It's not easy to keep it up to date. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info give some recommendations and reward encouragement!
By the time Xia Lan saw this notice, more than three hours had passed since "Sky Battle" had been hung on the cover of the homepage, and netizens who paid attention to this original painting on the Internet had also noticed this unique sci-fi original painting.
#"Sky Battle", what is Gundam?
#科幻类作品的真正创新之作, the new development direction of science fiction themes in the future.
#这根本就不是科幻类作品, I don't recognize such an organism, it's not scientific at all!
In science fiction, there was a genre that had never been seen before, and many netizens left messages on the official Weibo community where the original painting was really powerful.
Originally, such an original painting would not have caused such a heated discussion, at least not in a short period of time. However, it was officially recommended to be on the category cover on the homepage of the official website, which means that it has been officially recognized by the original painting review, and it is an image that completely subverts the previous science fiction works.
It's just that curious netizens read the description of the original painting.,That kind of humanoid body is called Gundam.,What a thing?,It's the first time I've seen it! Aren't the airframes generally flattened, some elliptical, and the more innovative ones are triangular or diamond-shaped aircraft, right?
A humanoid body, can this thing fly? There are so many unclear body weapon settings.,This is still not the original drawing.,How does it feel like it's in a new episode of the comics.,A new body has appeared.,It's the same as introducing performance?
However, it has been a long time since there has been nothing new in anime novels and movies with science fiction themes, and as a fantasy theme that was originally ahead of its time, it is really sad that there is no novelty at all.
Some people are just curious about this sudden Gundam, and they don't think about the deeper connotation, so they should see it fresh.
But some people do see the impact that the appearance of Gundam may have on science fiction works.
The most direct group of people is undoubtedly the authors who are creating science fiction works, some of them write novels, some draw comics, and even make movies.
Over the years, the audience of science fiction has really become smaller and smaller. Especially in recent years, among young readers, science fiction themes have become more and more complained about, and when asked about the most attractive themes and the most uninteresting themes, most people like the themes and answers are varied, but when it comes to the most uninteresting topics, most people will answer science fiction.
Many readers have been complaining lately that the imagination of science fiction works is too barren, and those spaceships and small flying machines come and go.
The previous works were all in the universe human civilization because of the competition for resources and launched the world's third war, the outbreak of the war into the era of cosmic war, although at the beginning was shocked by the huge world view, and visual impact, but after watching too much, it was visual fatigue.
Recently, many creators have begun to turn the war of mankind into the defense of the earth and the resistance of alien invaders, the technology of aliens is much higher than that of the earth, and the space warships developed by humans are struggling to defend and resist, and there are many eye-catching stories in them. But it's just that the story is eye-catching, and the essence of the spaceship artillery bombardment has not changed.
Then, as soon as "Legendary Mechfighter Krem" came out, it immediately caused a sci-fi sensation, and humans finally didn't have to fight against other messy aliens in spaceships, and changed to use space battleships to fight cosmic creatures. In this way, the essence has changed, and with the two camps of humans and monsters, the theme is different.
In traditional science fiction works, there are large-scale battles such as legions, and several or even dozens of warships are side by side, and it feels like the entire universe is shrouded in the scope of war.
However, "Legendary Fighter Krem" does the opposite, changing the previous large-scale war scenes, using the legendary pilot of the World War II period as the prototype character, from the perspective of a single protagonist, using exaggerated techniques to show the outstanding skills of the protagonist's genius pilot. One man and one machine, single-handedly did not flinch under the defeat of the human warship, and defeated those terrifying cosmic creatures - Qi Juzi with a single aircraft.
After the appearance of the protagonist of the manga "Legendary Mechfighter Krem", the Kodansha magazine that serialized the manga increased by almost 20%, and the readers' praise was overwhelming, and there was a faint trend to rival the pillar manga Shini Reaper of the shonen weekly magazine JUMP.
A phenomenal comic can bring incalculable value to a magazine, and it can be said that every popular phenomenal work is the face of a magazine, and the status of a comic magazine is supported by such top works.
Shueisha, which has a few phenomenal manga works that suppress bad luck, is one of the reasons why several other manga magazines cannot challenge its industry leader, because these works, as the signature of the shonen weekly JUMP, attract more manga artists to submit articles, so as to get more excellent works, and excellent left and right will attract more readers' support, which is an endless cycle.
Naturally, some editors in the editorial department of Kodansha's "Weekly Shonen Magazine" noticed that the most important manga in their editorial department now is "Legendary Mecha Fighter Krem", and in the era of the decline of science fiction works, Aoki Sensei can also reach the top of the glory title of star manga artist with science fiction works, and the single book of manga has sold more than 27 million copies, becoming a star manga artist with tens of millions of sales, which is not easy.
Therefore, as the deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine and the editor-in-charge of "Legendary Fighter Krem", Tanaka immediately contacted Mr. Aoki.
"Mr. Aoki, I'm calling you at this time, I'm Tanaka."
"Hehe, it's okay, I'm just stopping writing now, what's the matter?"
"That's ......"
Deputy Editor-in-Chief Tanaka introduced the original painting of "Sky Battle", and then added, "I wonder what the teacher thinks of this Gundam?" ”
Aoki Yoshito pondered for a long time, said please wait, then got up and went to his study to turn on the computer.
"If this image appears in a comic, it is more likely to be welcomed by readers."
This is the first sentence that Aoki said to Deputy Editor-in-Chief Tanaka after watching "Sky Battle", a very firm tone.
Deputy Editor-in-Chief Tanaka also subconsciously nodded in approval while holding the phone in his hand, but when he remembered that the other party couldn't see it, he still added, "I have the same opinion as Mr. Aoki!" ”
"However, this is Mr. Mo Zhilan's personal creation, and if I imitate it without authorization, it may be infringed."
As a manga artist, Aoki certainly won't take the initiative to copy other people's ideas, even if the idea is really good.
"I'll communicate with the other party here.,Fight for the right to use Gundam's image.,Aoki-sensei is still creating according to his original manuscript for the time being.,If there's any news.,I'll call you again as soon as possible.。
On the other hand, as a young JUMP, the science fiction work Taizhu manga artist Ya Okumura [Note 1], also received the contact of the editor in charge of the first time.
"Mr. Okumura, have you seen the work of this year's Original Painting Awards?"
When the editor in charge called, the first sentence was a little inexplicable, and Okumura didn't understand for a while what kind of award he was asking, what work.
"No, I didn't."
He has been thinking about the next alien to appear in "Killing City" recently, and recently the stone statue alien chapter is almost over, and it is time to think about the next alien to appear, originally he was thinking about aliens taking a giant space battleship to invade the earth.
"Then the teacher quickly go to the official website of this original painting, and take a look at the cover work of "Sky Battle", the science fiction area, which is easy to find."
When the editor in charge was talking to him, Ya Okumura himself was sitting in front of the computer in a daze, so he immediately opened the official website of this original painting according to the words of the editor.
As one of the top artists in the manga industry, he has participated in this award once before, and he also won the first prize in the category, which made him famous, and it was only after this that his manga was noticed by the editors of JUMP and began to be serialized.
Logged in to my account, the sci-fi zone...... Got it.
As soon as Okumura saw the cover, his brows unconsciously screwed together, and the painting style that was incompatible with him, and the image of the design concept was also completely different, so he was generally not interested. But he stared at the original painting and pondered for a long time.
"Moxi Moxi, Mr. Okumura, do you see that?"
The editor in charge over there waited for a while and asked, but he didn't get a response for a long time, and he didn't hang up the phone, because Okumura had already put down his phone and began to watch this "Sky War" seriously.
[Note: Okumura Ya is Okukuya, the name has been slightly changed here.] Aoki Liangren, you don't need Baidu, this is a character I made up]
