Chapter 6 Keep improving

"Did you see, yesterday Athena was shot by a golden arrow, and in 24 hours, she will be killed by a golden arrow. In order to save the goddess's life, Seiya must defeat the Pope, and in order to defeat the Pope, they must first pass through the 12th house. Seiya and they are only Bronze Saint Seiya now, and it must be difficult to pass through the 12 palaces guarded by the Golden Saint Seiya, which is really exciting. ”

"Seiya, they're sure to be able to pass through the 12th house and save Athena. When they faced the Silver Saint Seiya before, didn't Seiya win like this? ”

"Please, how can the Silver Saint Seiya be compared to the Gold Saint Seiya, haven't you read the cartoon? The Golden Saint Seiya is the strongest of all the Saint Seiyas, where is the Silver Saint Seiya worthy of being compared to the Gold Saint Seiya, don't forget how Zilong was taught by the Cancer Gold Saint Seiya when he was in the Five Old Peaks. ”

"It's really annoying, my zodiac sign is actually Cancer, I don't like that Golden Saint Seiya, he looks like a bad guy."

"Haha...... My zodiac sign is Taurus, and I have a hunch that the Taurus Golden Saint Seiya is a good person, and he is also very strong, and he is a reliable character. ”

……

When Xiang Junfei walked up to the class, he only saw a bunch of people, who were gathered around to discuss the plot of "Saint Seiya". Of course, from Xiang Junfei's current vision, "Saint Seiya", an animation based on Greek mythology, has a lot of plot bugs, not to mention, and the pace of the story is too slow, and a memory fragment can almost account for one episode, but after all, this animation is a precedent for armor animation, and the dazzling holy clothes, beautiful characters, fierce fights, and inspirational themes are enough to attract enough audiences. In addition, although "Saint Seiya" is a teenager-oriented animation, the pile of handsome guys in the animation is enough to attract a large number of female audiences, unlike ordinary juvenile animation that is only attractive to boys, and it is worthy of being an animation work with huge influence in the world.

Just when Xiang Junfei recalled that he was in the past like those current classmates, he mentioned "Saint Seiya" all day long, and even hummed the theme song of the animation when he walked, Ma Qiang came over with a smile and said to his classmates: "Haha...... You guys don't want to guess the plot here, do you want me to tell you the plot after that? ”

Shen Jie quickly questioned: "Ma Qiang, don't brag here, the TV station didn't broadcast the animation behind, how do you know the plot below?" ”

Just when everyone was pandering to question Ma Qiang bragging about it, I saw Ma Qiang open his schoolbag and take out a comic book and display it in front of everyone: "See clearly that the title of the book is not "The Saint Seiya of the Goddess" - the phantom of the goddess's danger scroll!" Mysterious double **. The plot of this manga is immediately following the anime that aired yesterday.,How about it? Who thinks I'm lying? ”

"Saint Seiya actually has a manga? Ma Qiang, who is the relationship between the two of us, no matter what you say, you have to lend me this book! Shen Jie, who was still questioning Ma Qiang's position just now, immediately made a 170° big change, and he coveted the cartoons in Ma Qiang's hands, and he couldn't wait to take them in his hands and appreciate them slowly.

"Ma Qiang will lend me a look, and I will return it to you as soon as I finish reading it."

"Ma Qiang also lent me to see, if I have any good books in the future, I will definitely lend them to you."

"Me too, lend me a look."

……

Because of the comic book "Saint Seiya of the Goddess" in his hand, Ma Qiang was surrounded by his classmates on the inside and outside of the three layers, just like a big star.

"I'm sorry about this, I've promised to lend this book to Xiang Junfei first, you have to read it, wait for Xiang Junfei to finish reading it." After speaking, Ma Qiang walked to Xiang Junfei with the word and stuffed the comics into Xiang Junfei's arms and said, "This is the book you borrowed from me the day before yesterday, and now I gave it to you, how about it, I didn't let you wait for a long time!" ”

Of course, the current Xiang Junfei is not interested in this comic, but since he used to borrow comics from Ma Qiang in the past, he must not say no now, so Xiang Junfei can only pretend to be happy, and in the envious eyes of other classmates, he will receive the comic into his schoolbag. He planned to tell Ma Qiang in the afternoon that he had finished reading the book, and then return the comics to the other party.

This little episode that happened in the morning was not put in Xiang Junfei's heart, and after the class bell rang, Xiang Junfei focused all his energy on writing the text plot. Yesterday, when he was at home, Xiang Junfei just drew the sketch of the grid diagram, and when he was at school today, he could write out the text plot of the first episode of "Full-time Hunter" according to the sketch, so he would not be bored because of class.

In fact, a cartoonist will not work much less on the text than on the picture, because when the reader reads a comic, he is not only looking at the picture, but also knows that understanding the story starts with the text. If there is no good written language, some of the author's whimsical ideas cannot be well conveyed in the reader's mind, which makes the comic a lot of color. In the past, when Xiang Junfei was a cartoonist, he also knew a lot of cartoonists who were very good at drawing but not good at writing, and such cartoonists generally could not be favored by editors, so that their works could not be published.

Xiang Junfei, who understands this very well, is also extremely cautious about the work he is doing so far. He naturally knows the plot of "Full-Time Hunter", but how to organize the language to describe this story, Xiang Junfei is constantly thinking in his heart. In addition to trying to recall how the original work was expressed, he also had to carefully figure out the language.

The language of comics is very similar to the language of television, which means that you can't install a comic script in the same way as a novel, and the language should try to be colloquial and reduce some unnecessary adjectives. For example, on pages 5 and 6 of the first volume of Full-Time Hunter, all the dialogues are:

Xiaojie: Huh!

Everyone: Ah! Wow! Oh! Terrible!

Passerby A: The King of the Swamp can't catch it with the strength of five adults......

Passerby B: I thought it would be impossible for anyone on this island to catch it in ten years!

Passerby C: This kid is amazing!

Jay: I've caught the King of the Swamp! Meida should also keep its promise!

Mitt:......

Passerby: Promise him! Just take the quiz!

Passerby: That's right! Jie will make a great hunter!

Mitte: Huh! Don't say irresponsible!!

Passerby Ding and Wu: Hmm...

Xiaojie: That's right! Be sure to take responsibility for what you have said. Didn't you teach me to be trustworthy?

Mitt:......

Xiaojie: Huh!?

Mitt:......

The dialogue on these two pages is very simple, standard spoken language, just make things clear, and there is no need to add any adjectives. Of course, depending on the identity of the speaker, the language will change differently, but the general direction is not. However, do not think that the spoken language is used all the time, for example, the language of God (narration) designed to move the plot or explain the plot can no longer be spoken and must be written. In addition, whether it is spoken or written, the comic book writer must be concise and to the point, and there must be no nonsense, which is why the cartoonist must also have a certain foundation.

Another point worth noting is that in comics, the frequency of onomatopoeia will be very large, and the use of onomatopoeia is also a great test for cartoonists. What font to use, how big the characters should be, and where to put them on the screen are all things that the cartoonist himself has to think about carefully. So don't underestimate the text work in comics, the difficulty is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"In tomorrow's language class, I will randomly select a few students to memorize this passage today, and if someone fails to memorize it, then he will be punished by copying the entire text ten times! Do you understand? ”

"Got it!" All the students of Class 2 of Year 4 replied in unison, and even Xiang Junfei put down his pen and notebook at this time and answered with other students.

The bell rang at this time, and Xiang Junfei was standing up, ready to move his muscles, but found that Teacher Liu walked straight towards him, which made him nervous, thinking that Teacher Liu found himself deserting in class to write comic scripts.

Teacher Liu, who walked in front of Xiang Junfei, said with a straight face: "Xiang Weihao, take out the book!" ”

"Books? What book? ”

"What else could it be, a comic book, of course. The teacher knows that you brought a comic book to school today, and as a class leader, you shouldn't know that you are not allowed to bring books like this to school! ”

If it weren't for Mr. Liu mentioning it at this time, Xiang Junfei would have forgotten that there was a copy of "Saint Seiya of the Goddess" in his schoolbag, but why did Mr. Liu know that there was such a comic in his schoolbag, could it be that someone told him?

Just when Xiang Junfei was thinking about this problem, Teacher Liu had already impatiently reminded Xiang Junfei, "Hurry up and give me the book, if you want to know this comic, let your parents come to school, you know?" ”

There was no way, Xiang Junfei had to take out this comic from his schoolbag and hand it to Mr. Liu, Ma Qiang was heartbroken at this time.

When Teacher Liu walked out of the classroom with the book. Ma Qiang couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "Hmph! I don't know who went to tell Mr. Liu today, it's really despicable. ”

At this time, no one got up to admit that it was a mystery to accuse themselves, but everyone knew in their hearts that if it wasn't for the person who made a small report, then Mr. Liu would not have known that Xiang Junfei would have this comic in his schoolbag, and this kind of whistleblower has been a hateful object since ancient times.

"I didn't expect that our class would produce such a small report, it's really annoying."

"Well, if we find out who made this kind of small report in the future, I will never say a word to that person in the future."

"That's, that's it, such a person is not worthy of our 4th year 2 class at all, and if I find this person in the future, I will definitely not play with him!"

Regardless of the boys and girls are expressing their opinions on this matter, the person who made the small report is verbally criticized and unanimously condemned, if the whistleblower is in the class at this time, knowing that his whistleblower will make his classmates unanimously condemn, I don't know if he will do such a thing?

Although the classmates were upset about themselves, Xiang Junfei didn't want to affect the feelings between his classmates because of such a trivial matter, so he patted the table and said to the class: "Don't make any noise, how can there be that kind of student in our class who makes a small report!" In fact, it was because I secretly took out the comics to read when I was in the ideological and moral class, and I must have been seen by Mr. Zhang at that time, and then she told Mr. Liu, so Mr. Liu would know that I had comics. That's the way it is, stop being suspicious of each other. ”

"Oh, I see, I thought it was the guy in the class who made a small report." After listening to Xiang Junfei's explanation, Ma Qiang's mood suddenly improved a lot. Although he was also heartbroken that the comics were confiscated by the teacher, it didn't matter compared to a "traitor" in the class.

And Xiang Junfei apologized to Ma Qiang with a smile at this time, and said silently in his heart: "Teacher Zhang, I'm sorry, I want you to carry the black cauldron." ”

After a hustle and bustle, the classroom of Year 4 Class 2 was once again full of laughter, but only one person's mood did not return to calm.

After drawing the grid sketch, Xiang Junfei began to take out the A4 paper and began to draw a formal sketch on it, because the general position of the character had been determined in the grid sketch before, so Xiang Junfei's main work this time was to depict the character's expression and background in more detail.

Although the most impressive thing about Tomiyasu Yoshihiro to readers is his screenwriting ability, but under normal circumstances, his paintings are also good enough, like his Tibetan Horse, Flying Shadow, Qiya, and Kurapika are very successful and have been widely praised by readers.

Fortunately, Xiang Junfei himself is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he has a wealth of painting dedication, which is far from being comparable to ordinary rookie cartoonists, so it is not difficult to imitate the painting style of Yoshihiro Fujian, and when he was in the animation company, he also worked as an animator for some kung fu animation, although he painted some animals, but those dynamic poses are the same as those compared to people, no different, so when he draws the action scenes in "Full-time Hunter", he can still cope with the past, of course, he is now compared to Yoshihiro Fujian's original work, there may still be some distance, but with the continuous improvement of painting skills, Xiang Junfei will be able to bring a more pure "Full-time Hunter" to readers sooner or later.

Classes in school during the day, as soon as I get home at night, I seize all the time to paint, ink lines, clean up the sketches, paint black and white, paste screen paper, and draw "Full-time Hunter" to Junfei in an orderly manner, after two weeks of hard work, he finally finished the first word, looking at the last picture, after Xiaojie's boat left Whale Island and sailed to the sea, Xiang Junfei couldn't help but lean on the chair and stretched a lazy waist. Tired is definitely tired, but the sense of accomplishment of completing the comic made Xiang Junfei overcome his physical exhaustion, and after a little news, he immediately devoted himself to the creation of "Next Stop Superstar".

Just when Xiang Junfei was about to start writing and drawing the sub-scenes of this comic on the sketchbook, Xiang Junfei was suddenly stunned, subconsciously bit the pen in his mouth, and entered a state of contemplation.

"No, no, I suddenly forgot that this comic belongs to a modern urban theme, and there is no way to be as unscrupulous as "Full-Time Hunter" when creating, you can create as you like, and you have to think carefully and thoroughly. After all, the original stage was in Tokyo, and now I'm going to move the stage to Hong Kong, which are two different cities, and when I draw the background, I have to draw the background with a Hong Kong style. ”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't write hastily, Xiang Junfei put the pen back on the table, and then ran out of the house and sat in the living room watching TV.

Watching her son watch TV, Shen Xiuli couldn't help but say: "Why did you suddenly remember to watch TV, have you completed your homework, and have you prepared for tomorrow's homework?" ”

"Don't worry, these things have already been done, for the sake of me not watching TV for more than 2 weeks, let me watch TV today!" Xiang Junfei naturally has no interest in TV programs in this era, and the reason why he runs out to watch TV now is that Hong Kong movies are being played on TV at this time, and through the film, Xiang Junfei can grasp the basic characteristics of Hong Kong architecture in this era, as well as some customs and customs, which is very helpful for him to create "Next Superstar". In order to paint a more Chinese "Next Stop Superstar", Xiang Junfei is willing to increase the creative cycle.

However, just watching TV is obviously not enough, you must know that Xiang Junfei does not have a video recorder at home at this time, so he can only rely on that fleeting picture, and he can't accurately grasp the characteristics of the building, so Xiang Junfei thinks about how to make some pictures of Hong Kong.

By the way, Ma Qiang's father seems to be the editor of a film and television magazine, he must have a lot of film and television magazines at home, and the magazine will definitely have color pictures introducing Hong Kong's customs and customs, isn't this the material I urgently need! Thinking of the excitement, Xiang Junfei couldn't help but call Ma Qiang now and ask him to bring the magazine to school tomorrow morning.

When Xiang Junfei looked around and didn't find the phone, he subconsciously asked: "Mom, where is the phone?" ”

"Phone? Where do we have that thing in our house, you are confused! ”

By the way, it's only 92 years now, and at this time, the telephone has not yet become widespread in ordinary Chinese households. After understanding that he had made a mistake of common sense, Xiang Junfei shrugged his shoulders, after all, half a month ago, he was still living in 2009, but half a month later, he went back to 17 years ago, and he became a primary school student, and it was natural that he was not adaptable. However, Xiang Junfei still reminded himself repeatedly in his mind that he could not make such low-level mistakes in the future.

Since God has given me a new experience, then I have to embark on a completely different path in life. God, just wait and see!

"I said, what are you going to do with more magazines? Can you read it all? When Xiang Junfei asked Ma Qiang to borrow books in the morning, Ma Qiang did not have a trace of ambiguity, immediately agreed, and after school, Xiang Junfei took him home and let him choose the books he wanted to read.

However, Ma Qiang never thought that the book Xiang Junfei borrowed from him was not the comics he guessed, but the entertainment magazines that he usually disdained, and Xiang Junfei did not borrow only one, but borrowed more than ten copies in a row, which had to make Ma Qiang wonder.

"Recently, I suddenly became interested in some film and television stars in Hong Kong, so I wanted to see information on this."

"Movie stars? Are the movie and television stars you are talking about the four kings? I've been hearing my dad talk about them a lot lately, but I'm not interested in these real people, my idol is Kazuki, and he's just too strong. As he spoke, Ma Qiang also posed that Yihui was going to launch the "Phoenix Wing Tianxiang Fist".

Of course, Xiang Junfei didn't talk to Ma Qiang about whether the four heavenly kings were more attractive or Xiaoqiang was more attractive, and then stuffed all these magazines into his schoolbag, and after saying "goodbye", he hurriedly walked out of Ma Qiang's house and did his homework for the comic "Next Stop Superstar".

After a period of making up for Hong Kong movies, film and television magazines in this era, Xiang Junfei not only mastered the characteristics of Hong Kong buildings in this era, but even had a preliminary understanding of Hong Kong film and television stars in this era, and this knowledge was of great benefit to him in creating comics.

After feeling that the time was ripe, Xiang Junfei also officially started the creation of "Next Stop Superstar", first of all, he still drew comic storyboards. If you carefully look at Xiang Junfei's storyboard painting method at this time, you will find that Xiang Junfei's method of drawing the storyboard is completely different from that of drawing the storyboard of "Full-time Hunter". If you are in the industry, just from this sub-shot drawing method, you can see that Xiang Junfei is creating girl comics at this time.

It turns out that when juvenile comics draw sub-shots, they mainly use the square grid drawing method, and when they typeset, the whole page is closer to the inner page, that is, the left and right sides are not the same, and the concentration line and rendering effect are used very strongly; And the girl's manga storyboard is generally obliquely cut, it looks very fine, the typesetting is symmetrical, the left and right sides are the same, and the big head and large storyboard are incomparable. Since "Next Stop Superstar" has been positioned as a shoujo comic, Xiang Junfei naturally created this comic in accordance with the creation method of shoujo comics. Of course, Xiang Junfei is also a boy, and it is a little too difficult for him to completely imitate the brushstrokes of girls to draw this comic, so when creating, he will unconsciously bring some styles of juvenile comics into this "Next Stop Superstar".

Take the logic of the story as an example, many shoujo comics have a characteristic, that is, the story development is often jumpy, in the shonen manga may take 5 pictures to be able to tell a clear story, and the shoujo manga may only need 3, or even 2 to be able to tell it clearly. Therefore, when Xiang Junfei created "Next Stop Superstar", he used the storytelling technique of shonen comics to tell the story of a shoun comics. Of course, the direct consequence of this is that the length of the story will be further extended, but in line with the principle of quality first, Xiang Junfei is unwavering in his creative concept.

The story and characters of "Next Stop Superstar" are actually no strangers to Xiang Junfei, after all, the animation company he works for once took over the animation order and drew the original painting for it. Of course, from the perspective of production funds, the character design of the animated version is much inferior to the comic version, but for the general characteristics of the characters, Xiang Junfei still knows it well.

The original work of "Next Stop Superstar" Nakamura Yoshiki is known as one of the ancestors of Japan's new visual kei painting school, and it can also be seen from this title that the cartoonist's painting style is very gorgeous, whether it is character modeling, clothing matching, and background depiction are extraordinary, although Xiang Junfei's own painting style belongs to the realist school, but he majored in clothing in college, and after several years of training in animation companies, it is not very difficult to imitate Nakamura Yoshiki's gorgeous painting style. After drawing Shen Weizhen's beautiful picture on A4 paper, he couldn't help but nodded, and it could be seen that Xiang Junfei was very satisfied with his Shen Weizhen.

Not to mention China, even in the Japanese comic world, Xiang Junfei's painting style at this time is advanced enough, if there is a comic editor at this time to see this 11-year-old boy skillfully draw this kind of painting style that transcends the times, he will definitely be so surprised that he can't close his mouth. In 92, China's new comic movement has not yet been officially launched, and when it comes to Chinese comics, the first thing that comes to mind is still comic strips, and Xiang Junfei's "Next Stop Superstar" with strong fashion elements will shock domestic readers?
