Chapter 4 Juvenile COMIC (2)
"So, ladies and gentlemen, this is the nominal president of Junior IC, Jerry. Gold. Rothscher! ”
Ryuichiro Furuizumi, Shizuko Takayama, Takemasa Aoyama and others signed an agreement with the junior IC, and the talented students of the art department of Nihon University were surprised to see the five-year-old Jerry sitting on the president's chair in a suit!
"Miss Nanako, this, you're not joking with me, are you?"
"Nanako-sanako, I think I have the right to know what's going on!"
"Jerry-kun is still a child, how can he be a president?"
……
"Everyone, please be calm!" Jerry stretched out his hand and pressed forward, "Miss Nanako, I said a long time ago that your announcement of this horrific news would definitely kill people!" See, I'm almost on target! ”
The funny appearance of the little ghost makes everyone else amused at once!
"Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Nanako just made a joke with you, of course, I actually instructed it! Because, I don't want to see the employees of the company like other comic companies, just know how to bury their heads in drawing and not smile! A company that lacks communication and passion cannot see the future! In the next five, ten, or twenty years, everyone here will become a great person like Nanako. And the premise is that you have to be passionate! Do you see what I mean? ”
"Miss Shizuko, what questions do you have?"
"Jerry-kun, what I want to ask is, are you really only five years old?"
"Have you seen them all? You all have to be like Shizuko-san! Even if you ask me what I'm going to eat for lunch today, that's no problem! Okay, now, the president of Junior IC, Miss Nanako Tanaka, will preside over the meeting! ”
Obviously, Nanako Tanaka is more likely to convince everyone as president! And Jerry and Bob became spectators!
At the first meeting of the junior IC Co., Ltd., Nanako Tanaka made a division of duties for the 30 people to hire. In the early days of the establishment of the manga company, the work of the distribution department and the advertising department was obviously the easiest, the work of these two departments was temporarily directly responsible for Nanako Tanaka and Jerry, and the work of the editorial department was mainly presided over by Akemi Asahina, who was the editor in charge of a fashion magazine, and the head of the manga department was handed over to Ryuichiro Furuizumi, who was originally the president of the manga club in college, and as for Shizuko Takayama, she still did her old job, lecturer! However, the content taught has changed from boring textbook knowledge to comic applications.
Jerry...... Jun, shouldn't my job be a manga writer? Weishenme will turn into a lecturer? In this case, what is the difference between it and Japanese universities? ”
"Of course there's a difference, Miss Shizuko! Because here, you can learn more practical skills and spread these skills to future cartoonists. And in the process of being a lecturer, you can also create manga! ”
"So, Jerry-kun, you think that the painting skills we learned before are not mature enough, right?"
"That's right! That's it! ”
"You...... You're so arrogant! Do you think you're better than your professors? You're such a megalomaniac! ”
"Aha~ Miss Nanako also said so!"
"Ah~ Jerry-kun, when did I say that?"
Jerry directly ignored Nanako Tanaka, "So, Miss Shizuko, if you can, how about being a student for half an hour?" ”
Shizuko Takayama stared at Jerry's eyes for a few seconds, but found that the little guy's eyes were so deep that he couldn't even see clearly, "Then, for the next half an hour, Jerry-kun, you have to behave well, if you can't satisfy me, please make me a comic book writer!" ”
"No problem!"
"So, Miss Shizuko, can you tell me what the manga is about?"
"Hi Bha~ Comics are composed of three elements: picture, frame, and text!"
"Exactly. The rational use of the three elements, the coherent plot is framed to separate the pictures, and this becomes a comic. For example...... "Jerry grabbed his pen and drew a four-panel comic strip with a few strokes on the hanging white paper!"
"The simplest comics, that's it! Just like writing a novel, there is the cause, the development, the high and the low, and the ending of the event. It must be noted that during the description of the manga, it is necessary to pay attention to the use and order of storyboards! Like this! "A few more sketches!
"Jerry-kun~ Don't you think there are a lot of words?"
"Aha~ Miss Shizuko, you actually found out! That's it.,In the storyboard,Try not to appear unnecessary text.,The comic is a picture as a description language.,If there are so many words.,It's better to go directly to Miss Nanako.,She's writing novels! Of course, there is another place to note that the comic is a group of two pages, so you must pay attention to the balance of black, white and gray on the left and right pages, otherwise readers will be dizzy when they read it! ”
"Regarding dialogue, although the comic is based on drawings as a description language, there is no doubt about the role of dialogue, and when constructing a comic sketch, remember to try to determine the composition of the characters and the picture in the order of the dialogue!"
"Next is the talk circle~"
"This is a calm type of talk circle, with a small circle is used to express the character's thought trajectory!"
"It's an explosive circle of words, a circle of words that expresses feelings like anger, fire, warning, scolding, or desolation!"
"It's a soft-line circle that is usually used on people who are seriously ill, tired, or dying!"
"As for the polygonal circle of words, it generally expresses the dialogue of a third party, that is to say, it is not a dialogue from the population, such as telephone calls or radio."
"Wait, wait a minute, Jerry-kun!" Although Shizuko Takayama has been in contact with manga for a long time, she has not yet analyzed manga so systematically, and she suddenly has an impulse to record every word that this little guy says!
"What's the matter, Shizuko-san, what's wrong with you?"
"No, no, but can you give me a few minutes to find a pen and paper?"
That's a bit of a big shift! Jerry didn't change for a while, and when Shizuko Takayama went out to find paper and pen, there were Aoyama Gomasa and Furuizumi Ryuichiro who came in after him. ,
"I heard that Miss Shizuko said that the president was secretly teaching her, and Aoyama-kun and I were curious, and we wanted to come over and listen to it together!" For this Jerry-kun, who is called the youngest son by Miss Nanako, Aoyama Gomasa is as curious as Ryuichiro Furuizumi. A five-year-old guy can say such old-fashioned things, but they can't refute it!
"So, let's listen to it! Miss Shizuko, let's move on! The following one is more important. ”
"Onomatopoeia with the use of speed lines! Well, let's give an example to illustrate this problem! ”
Jerry grabbed the pen, smacked on the blank paper a few more times, and soon built a man galloping on horseback!
"This is a galloping Indian! With a spear in his hand, he was about to charge at a group of Americans and use his weapon to put an end to this group of bandits who had invaded their homeland! Yes, you can see the distortion of his face, but is that all there is to it? ”
Jerry grabbed the ruler and added dozens of straight lines around the Indian according to the drawing, "What if that's the case?" ”
After adding those dozens of straight lines, the Indians, who had been running for twenty yards, suddenly accelerated to a hundred yards.
This is not over, Jerry added two rows of words to the Indian's head, "HO~HO~!" HO~HO~! ”
"As far as I know, that's what the Indians basically called!"
So, after the speed line and onomatopoeia were added, the picture suddenly came to life!
"Let's take another example!" Jerry drew a big stroke, and the back of a little guy appeared in front of the three of them, "Can anyone tell me~ What's wrong with this little guy?" Aoyama-kun? ”
"Jerry-kun, did this guy trip over something!"
"So, what does Gu Quan-kun think?"
"It should be, his body leaned to the side, he should have tripped and was about to fall!"
Jerry smiled, the pen rattled a few times, and added a speed line on the top of the little guy's head, and then added the word stoned ouch, and the three of them suddenly realized that this little guy was hit by a stone and was about to fall!
Jerry gave a few different types of examples, "The importance of onomatopoeia and speed lines has been explained, and we can only do more practice for these two elements in order to better cooperate with the picture!" The above content is the elementary content of the comics, and I think all three of you should have been exposed to it! ”
In a word, the three graduates of a Japanese university are a little embarrassed, the first time, it is really the first time to hear such a lecture!
"So, let's talk about the intermediate content!"
"Rise, take, turn, knot! This is one of the four elements of story development. That is, the cause, the development, the climax, the end! So, can anyone tell me what are the genres of comics? Gu Quan-kun? ”
"War, history!"
"Reasoning, love!" Aoyama added!
Jerry doesn't say they're right, or that they're wrong, "Actually, there are only three types of comics, life realism, mythology, and science fiction!" Whatever the genre, the only principle of manga is self-justification! We don't care what the reader's reaction is, as long as you can tell the story you weave to the fullest, then your comic is a complete comic! Remember, it's wholeness, not success! ”
"So, what kind of manga makes a successful comic?"
Jerry smiled, and then his shiny teeth showed, "Excuse me, have you ever had sex?" ”
This topic is really ...... Jerry even thinks evil himself!
Three people are embarrassed! How could this little guy ask such a question!
"If you can get readers to substitute for the comic and bring them wave after wave of highs, your comic is a successful comic!"
"That's right, the sense of substitution, and wave after wave of high_ tide!"
