Chapter 19: Meng Zhe's Ambition
"Uncle Jiang, actually...... Now, I don't have any plans to submit a manuscript, and the main thing I draw now is to practice my brushwork. I think I need to accumulate more knowledge, hone my drawing skills, watch more works of other cartoonists, and wait until I feel that I have accumulated more and more before considering submitting my work. ”
After organizing his words, Meng Zhe replied to Jiang Bai like this.
This is also Meng Zhe's truth, he has not even finished drawing the character sketches of the future popular comics in his memory, and the setting and adaptation have just begun......
According to Meng Zhe's prediction, he will need to be busy until at least the end of the year before he can complete the paper media recording and re-creation of all the works in his memory.
During this period, the sky is topped.,I'll draw the first three or five words of one of them.,As for the announcement or something, there's still no shadow.,So it's going to be taken off until next year.。
Perfecting all kinds of basic settings is a huge project.
Not to mention anything else, let's talk about "Death", "Naruto", and "One Piece", which are known as the new three 'migrant workers' and are referred to as "Dead Fire Sea" by Meng Zhe. The main characters in this anime are all over double digits, and each main character has very different skills and a huge and complex setting...... Coupled with those supporting characters who appear a little less frequently, how many pages do you have to draw just to draw the set art?!
This is also the fundamental reason why Meng Zhe used a four-panel comic like "Light Girl" to please his future wife and sister-in-law. Four-panel comics, the background is very simple, so you can save a lot of time to improve the information of other comics, right?
……
After listening to Meng Zhe's explanation, Jiang Bai did not show his unhappiness because of the rejection of his opinion, but was very relieved.
"That's right! Wang Anshi, one of the eight families of the Tang and Song dynasties, once wrote an allegorical article called "Hurt Zhongyong", in which the prodigy Zhongyong in the story could compose poems at the age of eight, but because he was used by his father as a tool to make money, he wandered around, and Zhongyong, who had not accumulated, was finally reduced to 'no one else'...... Xiao Zhe, if you can understand this truth, I will rest assured! ”
Jiang Bai directly cited the example of "Hurt Zhongyong", and after speaking, he thought about it and continued: "Xiao Zhe, I suggest that you draw comics in the future, and integrate more of the stories and ideas of our Chinese dynasties. In this way, the drawn cartoons will be more cultural, not to mention, which is also good for you. ”
"Yes, uncle, you're right. Our country's culture is broad and profound, and many stories can be written by casually pulling out historical allusions. ”
Meng Zhe nodded, then he cleared his throat and recited a few lines of poetry he liked: "The heavy lake is stacked on top of Qingjia, there are three autumn laurels, and ten miles of lotus." Qiang tube clear, Lingge flooded the night, frolicking and fishing lotus baby. Thousands of horsemen have high teeth. Listen to the drums and enjoy the smoke and haze...... Sooner or later, I will use my comics to tell you about our long history and splendid culture in China! ”
Meng Zhe was a little excited, and he even accidentally exposed his ambitions and plans.
Originally, Meng Zhe planned to adapt and recreate 'Dead Fire' and so on into comics that integrate and promote Chinese culture, and achieve subtle cultural output while reaping fame and money.
What is a real man? What is Big Husband?
The heart is open...... Raw five tripods eat, dead five tripods cooked.
Now that you have been reinstated, and since you have so many resources in your hands, how can you be right about yourself if you don't do something big that can be worshiped by future generations? !
Relying on the massive export of comics, the country of Mud Bombardment has successfully exported their culture to the whole world.
But what about China?
Even around 2010, many foreigners' perception of Chinese history is still 'braids', 'little feet', 'cheongsam' and nondescript 'Tang costumes'.
On the other hand, because of the anime, many things that were originally Chinese people were considered by outsiders and even Chinese themselves to be mud bombardment countries. Even his meow's stick country dared to go to the United Nations with the courage to commemorate the 'Dragon Boat Festival' of Qu Yuan, a doctor of Sanlu, and apply for their country's intangible cultural heritage.
Meng Zhe will be very, very, very unhappy every time he thinks about these things!
"Good! It's about having that kind of ambition! ”
Jiang Bai slapped the table, and Meng Zhe's words aroused a high degree of resonance with him! What does it mean to be ambitious? That's ambition!
Other children, at this age, say things that they don't even understand themselves: 'Study hard and make progress every day.' Or 'I want to be a scientist when I grow up', and I will never realize my wish when I grow up.
But this little guy, this Meng Zhe, has already used practical actions to move forward towards his set goal with a clear goal!
Just now, this kid read the famous graceful lyricist Liu Yong's one of the few bold style Song lyrics "Wanghai Tide".
It is said that the Jin people, who competed with the Northern Song Dynasty, were moved by the sentence in the words "there are three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus" after reading this poem that was spread all over the world, and only then did they have the ambition to invade the south with a whip and cut off the stream......
Although this is not a good allusion, and the fact is not so, the great attraction of ancient Chinese culture to foreign races can be seen from this!
"Xiao Zhe, you need any historical classics or comics, just ask Uncle Me! There are no other things in my uncle's house, and there are as many books as there are! ”
Jiang Bai, who had entered the state, patted his chest and continued, he really wanted to help Meng Zhe.
"Historical texts?" Meng Zhe repeated this word, and then he really opened his mouth: "Uncle Jiang, do you have a pre-Qin history from the Cambridge History of China?" By the way, you also need the history of the Ming Dynasty from the Cambridge History of China, as well as the Mirror Flower, and ......"
Speaking of which, Meng Zhe really needs to read historical classics now.
According to Meng Zhe's plan, "Naruto" will be adapted by him into a comic of the hundred schools of pre-Qin Zhuzi, although it adopts the setting of a different time and space, but the characters and thoughts of the hundred schools of pre-Qin Zhuzi must be studied.
Therefore, the history of the pre-Qin period must be read.
As for the history of the Ming Dynasty and "Mirror Flowers", this is indeed related to the adaptation of "One Piece", Meng Zhe plans to change One Piece to a story involving Zheng He's trip to the West, and isn't Zheng He who went to the West a character of the Ming Dynasty?
As for "Mirror Flowers" or something, "Mirror Flowers" is one of the few novels related to navigation in ancient Chinese novels, and many strange countries set in it happen to be used.
Of course, after being adapted and recreated, the background of One Piece will be completely changed to an almost completely empty fantasy world.
For example, Zheng He in this different time and space never came back after the last time he went to the West......
"The pre-Qin history of Cambridge? …… It doesn't seem to have been published yet, huh? But there are others, let's go - I'll take you to the study! Jiang Bai grabbed Meng Zhe's little arm and dragged Meng Zhe straight to the study.
When Jiang Bai and Meng Zhe entered the study at home, Jiang Xiyao immediately cheered and grabbed all the original manuscripts of the soft-voiced girl on the table and hugged them tightly in her arms.
"Mom, Mom, Meng Zhe just read ten miles of lotus flowers or something, what kind of poem is it?"
After grabbing the sketch, Jiang Xiyao, the little girl, turned her head to look at Hu Caiwei, who showed a helpless look at her, and asked.
