Chapter 43: The Hardest Worker
The next day, Meng Zhe did not forget his promise last night, and he spent the entire noon on telling Jiang Ling and Hu Qianrong about the character design of "Princess Huanzhu".
Because the background of the story was moved from the semi-bald Manchu Qing Dynasty to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, many characters originally had to be re-set...... Of course, there is no need for Meng Zhe to come to this matter himself, since he handed over this story to Jiang Ling and Hu Qianrong to paint, these troubles are naturally the responsibility of the two of them, and Meng Zhe is at most just checking after the setting is completed.
Searching for various materials for the purpose of drawing comics is also an accumulation of knowledge for the manga artist himself, and he may have an idea for new manga ideas that can be used in the future, isn't it?
After finishing the matter of "Princess Huanzhu", Meng Zhe read the original draft of a short comic submitted by Zheng Xusheng, which is a sci-fi comic. From the perspective of painting, the current Zheng Xusheng is still the worst among the five in the same period, but Zheng Xusheng is not without his advantages-
Zheng Xusheng's sketches, the perspective effect is very good, and the change of perspective is more and very good, the third-person vision, the hero's vision, the heroine's vision, and the constant transformation of the passerby's vision make the comic very three-dimensional. Moreover, Zheng Xusheng's background is drawn quite well......
However, judging from the short story submitted by Zheng Xusheng, Meng Zhe quickly saw Zheng Xusheng's biggest weakness - Zheng Xusheng He can't tell stories.
This sci-fi comic, the plot can be summarized as in a super-large spaceship in the future, in order to prevent his father from smoking, the little male protagonist successfully destroyed his father's remaining cigarettes with the help of the beautiful female doctor on the ship, and finally got the story of everyone's praise.
To be honest, apart from the public welfare surname that promotes the dangers of cigarettes and quitting smoking, neither the story itself nor the character setting has any merit. Meng Zhe doesn't have to guess to know that if this work is really published, it will definitely be the bottom of the questionnaire.
"Da Zheng, what do you say about this work? Well, there are still a lot of merits, such as the visual transformation...... "Meng Zhe first took out a little bit of Zheng Xusheng's comics, and after saying that he was almost done, he changed his tone and said: "But...... Da Zheng, the flaws of your work are also obvious, why don't I give you a little analysis? ”
Originally, Zheng Xusheng, who was still a little happy because he was praised by Meng Zhe, had a faint smile after hearing Meng Zhe's word but, and his faint smile froze. Zheng Xusheng's eyes showed a little disappointed, but then he said firmly: "Teacher Jiji, please be sure to analyze my flaws!" ”
Zheng Xusheng, who is trapped in 'this mountain', can feel the gap between his own works and those of others, but he still can't figure out where this gap is.
"First, the story you drew is not a fierce character conflict, no intriguing suspense, no unexpected ending...... Mediocrity, can only be described as mediocre! Second, the character you draw can't catch the audience's attention at all! Those who don't look like people who live in 2546 at all, and 1946 is right...... Thirdly, there is also a problem with the color tone, you are too stingy to use dots and gray tones......"
Meng Zhe explained and analyzed Zheng Xusheng's shortcomings one by one, and in the end, Zheng Xusheng was obviously about to lose confidence.
But at this time, Meng Zhe said such a sentence in a timely manner: "Da Zheng, have you seen the dream eater I painted?" ”
"Look, look." Zheng Xusheng, who hung his head, replied in a relatively low voice.
"Actually, Da Zheng, you are more suitable for the protagonist of the Dream Eater, and someone else will write the script, while you only specialize in drawing comics. As long as you have a good script, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself! Make your dreams come true! I know that you work very hard, often Chen Xiang they have slept and you are still painting; I also know that you have paid a lot for the purpose of drawing the manga. But...... It's not enough! Now is really not enough! ”
Meng Zhe stretched out his hand and patted Zheng Xusheng's shoulder, his voice was serious, he once again temporarily forgot his current age, and taught Zheng Xusheng as a newcomer with the attitude of a passer-by......
However, Zheng Xusheng, who bit his lip and tried to keep himself from crying, did not have any resistance at all, and accepted all of Meng Zhe's teachings! Zheng Xusheng felt that everything Meng Zhe said, every word was sincerely for his good.
"Da Zheng, I will find a way to help you find a suitable script writer. But before you find it, you should first draw a few 'red papers' to practice your hands, okay? Don't think too much, just draw with peace of mind, whether it's in life or painting, just come to me! If I can solve it, I will help you solve it, even if I can't solve it, isn't there still Sister Lan? Is there still our Tianjiao Society? ”
Meng Zhe sighed and concluded with such a sentence.
Zheng Xusheng's painting skills are really bad now, although Meng Zhe is full of ideas that can be taken out to paint, but before Zheng Xusheng has a breakthrough, he will not take out his creativity to Zheng Xusheng.
However, Meng Zhe believes in Zheng Xusheng, just like he just said, although Zheng Xusheng is the worst painter among the five, he is also the hardest working among the five!
Under this hard work and hard work, even if Zheng Xusheng doesn't have the talent to make up a good book, as long as he can get rid of those problems in the painting...... With Meng Zhe here, will Zheng Xusheng lack the opportunity to become famous? Will it be missing?
"Teacher Jiji, thank you!" Zheng Xusheng quickly stretched out his hand and wiped his slightly moist eyes, and then said firmly: "Teacher Jiji, I'll go back to the big studio and draw the cartoons of the red draft!" ”
After speaking, Zheng Xusheng turned around and hurriedly walked a few steps and walked out of Meng Zhe's special small studio.
Walking out of the small studio and closing the door, Zheng Xusheng did not hesitate to tear up the original comic manuscript that he thought was quite good, but was almost useless under Meng Zhe's article-by-article analysis, into pieces of shredded paper!
When tearing the original manuscript, Zheng Xusheng finally understood why Hu Qianrong would develop the strange habit of tearing up the original manuscript after it was completed.
Meng Zhe naturally didn't know that Zheng Xusheng, who had left the studio, was tearing up the original manuscript and tearing the pieces of paper flying, of course, even if he knew Meng Zhe, he wouldn't say anything.
Zheng Xusheng's act of tearing up the original sketch is more like a symbolic break with the past, and the way of self-writing and self-painting is not entirely suitable for Zheng Xusheng, he and Ken Obata can be regarded as the same type......
In this way, the five pillars of the future domestic comic industry who were summoned together by Meng Zhe and Tianjiao Club finally began to appear on the big stage of "Anime Boy" in a different way after two months of hibernation!
