Chapter 157: The Horse Misses?
The original "Gintama" is set in the Edo period, and the main characters are located in a location called Kabukicho, Tokyo's entertainment district and a red light district.
These all need to be modified, the original protagonist is a samurai, and in the hands of Zhang Yao, he can only be a chivalrous man, a samurai has a samurai, and the chivalrous man of the Celestial Empire also has a chivalrous way, so the protagonist is set as a swordsman, in historical terms, this is called a ranger, light life and death.
The story is set in the Qinhuai River at the end of the Ming Dynasty, because there is Qinhuai Bayan there, and this time and space also has these, but Qinhuai Bayan's name and experience are different from the original time and space.
These adaptations are not difficult, the difficult thing is that Zhang Yao got an understanding based on the speech of Hoshino Asuka at the annual meeting of "The King of Picture Books", and wanted to integrate the style of Chinese style and paint chivalrous people in ink style, think about how chic this must be.
Zhang Yaoke has never used a brush, and the brush is not suitable for comics, right? I can only use a dipping pen to outline that style, so he also checked a lot of information and studied it in depth, but he still didn't have much certainty.
It's not broken after it's drawn.,It's just that the effect is unsatisfactory.,If you want to completely reveal the ink style.,Or you have to wait for the use of it to be more perfect.,Anyway, many comics will change with the maturity of the author's skills.,It doesn't matter.。
When Ai Xiaoqi and Asuka Hoshino came to Daybreak Studio after class, Zhang Yao was playing the guitar there, and Ai Xiaoqi asked, "Have you finished your comics, why did you start writing songs again?" ”
"It's time to take a break when you're tired of painting, right?"
Zhang Yao put down his guitar and said, "You guys came just in time, come with me to buy a pen tablet." Asuka, you're a professional. Help me refer to it. ”
"Draw with a pen tablet. Then I'll take a look at the receipt. ”
Ai Xiaoqi was not happy. said: "I don't care, anyway, you have to send a manuscript to my mailbox." ”
For Zhang Yao, who doesn't know how to use a brush, using a pen tablet is the best choice, which he only thought of after trying it, although most cartoonists still insist on hand-drawing.
Zhang Yao also learned to paint with a pen tablet, and slowly got used to it, and it took a month for Zheng Xiaoyi's MV to shoot his new album. The advertisement for a chapter of red zuihou was finally completed when it was finally about to come out in the midst of thousands of calls.,The content of the first word was sent to the editor Yang Tian by email.。
Zhang Yao's character design at the beginning is indeed exactly the same as the original.,But after the modification, it's a little inappropriate.,Zhang Yao changed the clothes of the two male protagonists to the chivalrous costumes in the martial arts movie.,The color scheme hasn't changed.,The only thing that was copied as it was was Kagura was one.,But the first word Kagura hasn't appeared yet.。
"None of the natural rolls are bad people, what kind of mess is this."
After Yang Tian read the draft, he called and said, "If you draw a knight, you can draw a knight, and there are aliens, what's going on?" ”
"I'm painting a knight vs. an alien, so it's called imagination."
Zhang Yao said unconsciously. Yang Tian continued: "Okay, it's okay to fight aliens. But isn't that the Ming Dynasty? And what about cars, little sheep and high-rise buildings? ”
"That's why it's called imagination, it's the coexistence of antiquity and modernity."
Zhang Yao still used the same tone, and Yang Tian said weakly: "This is too imaginative, Zhang Yao, I didn't expect you to delay it for so long and turn in such a work." ”
Although I can't see it, it can be imagined that Yang Tian on the editorial side must be rubbing his brows, and Zhang Yao said: "I think it's very good, don't you think it can't reach the level of serialization?" ”
"Serialization is definitely no problem, but I'm really not optimistic about this work."
Yang Tian said: "He Lili, we also discussed with the editor-in-chief, your work is too messy, readers may not be able to accept it, we are not optimistic about this work, there is no light girl that gives people a bright eye, and when you see it, you know that it will be very popular." ”
"This can only mean that your feelings are messy, and besides, a man's sixth sense is completely unreliable, right?"
"How do I feel that your tone is exactly the same as the protagonist now, what is based on Ye Shaojie, this is simply using yourself as a prototype painting, right?"
Yang Tian sighed and said: "We also know the author's mood for his work, do you think this is good, you draw ten words first, see the popularity, if the popularity is not good, let's draw another royal story." ”
"Yes, Brother Yang, you have the final say."
Ten words is enough to test the results of a work, and Zhang Yao has no opinion, if this time and space really can't explain the style of "Gintama".
In this way, a new issue of "The King of Picture Books" was listed, and the cover was a picture of the protagonist Ye Yinjie carrying a wooden sword, with the inscription "Stained with fine dust and returning with a new work of Silver Soul".
Although Yang Tian and they are not optimistic about this work, they still spare no effort to promote it, and after waiting for so long to finally wait for Zhang Yao's new work, countless fans bought the magazine back with excitement.
"The country of chivalry, our country was called that a long time ago......"
At the beginning of the story, it is explained that this is a story that happened at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Deshui (still feels awkward) father gave a lecture on kendo to their sister and brother (the sister is called Yu Miaohao) when he was dying, and then he returned to the goal, and the story officially began.
"It's a mess in this world."
This is also a common reflection of countless comic fans after watching it, the first episode of the story is that the two protagonists met, Yu Deshui thought that Ye Yinjie was the only chivalrous man with a chivalrous spirit, so he decided to follow him after a series of stories.
In fact, the story of the first word is still very good, but readers are confused by this setting, and they can't accept it for a while, so they feel messy, and when they introduce the setting haode to see the story, they should like it, which is also where Zhang Yao's confidence lies.
This is Zhang Yao's life, how can it not be so miserable, right? And in the original time and space, although the popularity of "Gintama" was not as good as that of "Naruto" and "One Piece", it was not much worse, at least in the Celestial Empire.
But wait for readers to accept this setting, that's still a matter of the future, it won't wait too long but not now, so after the new issue of "The King of Picture Books" went on sale, the mailbox of the editorial department was full, and countless readers wrote to express their dissatisfaction, and they were disappointed after waiting, you can imagine how strong the readers' grievances are.
