Chapter 79: The Cartoonist
Taking advantage of Zhou Qingni's painting, Ding Yang also browsed the materials about the "modern comics" of this world on the Internet.
The development of manga in this world is similar to that of the previous life, and Japan is still the most important anime exporter, "Slam Dunk", "Transformers", "Saint Seiya", "Dragon Ball" ...... and other excellent works are well-known all over the world, and they have quite good popularity in various countries, but the three major migrant manga "Grim Reaper", "Naruto" and "One Piece" are still missing, and the anime "Detective Conan", which is known as the longest-lived anime in history, has not been found.
With the rapid development of television entertainment, many popular manga works have been adapted into animation, and the success of animation has also promoted the development of manga.
Today, anime in Japan is two inseparable fields. A good manga work is bound to be made into an animation, and a popular anime will also find a cartoonist to draw the manga for it.
Why is Japan's anime industry so developed? This is inseparable from the strong support of the state.
As early as the 60s and 90s of the last century, Japanese manga entered a mature stage. At this time, the genre of manga was diversified in terms of painting style, subject matter, and storyline, and the major magazines also basically established their status and publishing direction, and their manga artists showed their abilities, and the Japanese manga industry was in full bloom.
Many comic merchandise products have also been developed accordingly, such as toys, models, and so on. The Japanese manga business system has been basically stabilized, and a relatively complete system has been formed.
In the new century, various manga appreciation and manga exhibitions are held in Japan every year to showcase more excellent manga works for readers and to discover and cultivate a new batch of manga talents. The publication of comics has also developed from the original newspapers and magazines to various forms of publication, such as concession editions, single editions, single editions, complete editions, hardcover editions, and library editions.
In order to resist the invasion of Japanese culture, the Chinese government has also introduced some policies to support animation-related industries, but the cost is very large, the income is very small, and there are no particularly outstanding works so far.
Ding Yang was a standard sling otaku before reading the file, a resident of station A and station B, whether it is the three major migrant workers, or a primary school detective, as well as Xia Na, Sister Cannon, Pleasant Goat, Qin Shi Mingyue...... He chased it all the episodes without missing a beat.
Because of the super memory storage, he remembers every frame of these anime very clearly, but if he is asked to draw it, it will be a joke. It is estimated that he is not the only one who can draw a mandarin duck as a duck.
In fact, it's not that he hasn't tried, no way, he remembers it very clearly, and when he draws it, it becomes something else entirely, this is a talent limit, not something that can be overcome by hard work, anyway, writing a book is not the same as making money, and he doesn't like to draw, why delay his efforts, so Ding Yang gave up.
However, Ding Yang now has an idea, if Zhou Qingni really has a talent in this area, through his description and help, "copy" those comics, any one, no need to restore 100%, as long as there are seven or eight percent similar, it is estimated that the copyright fee will be enough for her to eat and drink for the rest of her life.
It is often said that people who are serious and focused, whether they are men or women, exude a special charm. At this time, Zhou Qingni was like this.
She completely forgot about Ding Yang's existence, stared at the blank drawing paper spread on the table with bated breath, and then picked up the paintbrush and waved, and a lifelike painting suddenly appeared on the paper. The temperature of the paper and the fingertips seem to melt together, and the paintbrush in the hand plays in the warm orange light. She pursed her lips, her eyebrows full of seriousness. It was as if at this moment, her qiē was on this drawing board. From shallow to deep, delicately delineated, her soul is in a grand carnival at this moment.
A few strokes are outlined like cloud brocade, and the ink paints the feelings in the heart, and the artistic conception is so praised!
Her face showed heartfelt pleasure, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, the color was like the morning glow reflecting the snow without powder, and the smile on her cheeks was rippling.
The peach blossoms on the human face are affectionate.
As the minutes passed, Zhou Qingni was still immersed in her paintings, retouching the details little by little......
A qiē seems to have become the most beautiful silhouette.
Finally, she handed over the finished painting to Ding Yang for appreciation, with a confident smile on her face.
Ding Yang glanced at it, and couldn't help but get closer, painting the moment when Ding Yang held Zhou Qingni in his arms at Zhou's house that day.
Well, it is indeed a very high level, because Ding Yang himself has no learning experience in this area, and he can't say where it is, just by looking at it, he feels that he has both form and spirit, lifelike, and far-reaching artistic conception, and the first feeling is that there is a very high level.
It doesn't matter what the senior painter says about Ding Yang, it is estimated that it is more than enough to draw comics anyway, Ding Yang bowed slightly, and praised Zhou Qingni with a smile:
"Not bad! I can't say too much. It feels good anyway. Your mother was right, you were born to eat this bowl of rice, and now I have confidence in you to become a good cartoonist. I'll negotiate with my mom about going to school, don't worry! ”
Zhou Qingni showed a smile from the heart, as bright as a spring flower, as bright as an autumn moon, Ding Yang suddenly had a feeling of shaking his heart.
Ding Yang continued: "I think so, and you also know that my mother has a great obsession with her children's schooling. It seemed a bit difficult to convince my mom like this. It would be much easier if we could come up with something very convincing. ”
"What is convincing?" Zhou Qingni is as good as a stream.
"For example, if the comics you draw can be signed by a large publishing house, my mother will definitely not force you to go to school and study when she sees that you have an income."
Zhou Qingni frowned, although she was very confident in her drawing skills, she was not naïve enough to think that the publishing house would pay for her comics.
After all, the comics that can be published are not important for the painters, but to see if the story can be attractive and whether the characters can be liked by readers. She can't even write essays, how can she write attractive stories?
Ding Yang seemed to see her thoughts, and said with confidence: "It's okay, the story, the composition, and the character design...... I'll take care of that, and you just follow my description and show it, it's as simple as that. I have acquaintances at the publishing house, and as long as I draw according to my narrative, publishing is not a problem. ”
"Really?"
"Of course! Let's try it first, let's draw a humanoid in the shape of a sheep, characterized by white skin, a bell hanging around the neck, a pinch of drooping wool on the head, and blue and white shoes. It's cute, and I want the kind of feeling that children like cute......"
"Is that what it looks like?"
"No, your head is too big, the horns are too long, the body is a little thinner, and the legs are a little shorter......"
"And now?"
"To give people a sense of wit, bravery, optimism, and assertiveness, the eyes should be bigger, the legs should be rounder, and the legs should be thinner......"
"Where's this?"
"It's a bit of a pleasant goat, and there's a strand of silly hair on ...... head."
"Pleasant goat? Is that its name? What an interesting name! What is Dull? ”
"Well, stupid hair is ......"
