"Speaking of this kind of long storyboard, I remember that "Basketball Sky" also appeared, and at the time I thought it was an occasional time, but now it seems that this is not the case......" Miyamoto rubbed his chin, and after a long silence, he remembered one more thing, "By the way, can you learn from other comics?" ”

"It's hard to use this kind of storyboard. Although it lengthens the length of the grid, it also compresses the width of the storyboard, which should be said to be a strange storyboard. Just like the display, except for special cases, most people still use a 16:9 regular display, because it is more suitable for ordinary people. In the same way, this kind of storyboard increases the content in the horizontal direction, but it is difficult to process it in the vertical direction. ”

"HOWEVER, SLAM DUNK IS USED A LOT OF TIMES."

"That's because all the players are in one plane, and the basketball court is bigger, so the length is more important in the storyboard. Fighting comics often jump more than ten meters high, and the height of the long storyboard is not enough. Uematsuno said helplessly.

"You can learn from other basketball comics too." Miyamoto was puzzled.

"You can learn it, but you don't have to learn it." Uematsuno spread out the magazine and placed one of the pages in front of Miyamoto Hei, "This kind of dynamic drawing cannot be drawn only by hard work. ”

Miyamoto's gaze then shifted to the magazine.

Only the top half of this page is a spread, Xiandao is advancing rapidly, while Liu Chuanfeng and other Xiangbei team members quickly return to defense.

From the sidelines to the arena, the looks of each character entered the bottom of the eye.

Then, Uematsuno turned another page, another spread, the upper part of which was Xiandao facing Liu Chuanfeng's cover, and his hand was thrown back diagonally to his teammates, because of the use of the upper half of the spread, the length of the picture was enough to express the entire passing process.

The gap between cartoonists lies in their ability to tell stories, that is, script writing and storyboarding, rather than drawing skills.

Using a long storyboard for two consecutive images is much better than spreading.

This kind of storyboard selection is really outstanding.

"These two storyboards are not something that any cartoonist can draw, even if you want to imitate them, I'm afraid the effect will be worse." Uematsuno explained.

"HOWEVER, THE LITTLE BOOK OF SLAM DUNK HAS NOT BEEN AS HIGH AS I IMAGINED ......"

"That's another question." Uematsuno closed the magazine, turned around and asked Miyamoto Ping again, "Miyamoto-sensei, I expect that the fourth volume of "SLAM DUNK" will be a big hit, if you can, please prepare the magazine first." ”

"Huh? Why? Uematsuno wondered.

"SLAM DUNK'S LITTLE BOOK DOESN'T RANK WELL, AND THE PROBLEM IS STORYBOARDING. In order to have a better picture effect, Mr. Shen chose more spreads and more full pages, which led to the slow progress of the story in a single episode. The story of "SLAM DUNK" is much less than that of a comic like "Slam Dunk". It's like a small snack, no matter how delicious it is, if you can swallow it in one bite and there is no chance of aftertaste, then its appeal will be much less attractive.

"The single book is different, it has accumulated part of the plot. Although the dim sum is small, it can still make people appetize when they are put on a plate. SLAM DUNK IN THE FOURTH VOLUME SHOULD APPEAL TO READERS. Uematsuno whispered.

Miyamoto nodded, what Uematsuno said was the truth, but as for whether to tell the magazine, he hadn't thought about it yet, he wasn't the editor in charge of "SLAM DUNK", so there was no need to think about it so much, and besides, he hated Kotani China.

"BUT SLAM DUNK IS IN THE SMALL BOOK RANKINGS...... This time it may be promoted. ”

"I know. But compared to the ranking of this issue of "SLAM DUNK", I am more concerned about the later issues. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The pace of "SLAM DUNK" is too slow, and I guess Mr. Shen himself didn't expect this. I predicted that the plot of the next three or four episodes would be more exciting, so I adjusted the plot of "The Gate of Eternal Life". The last two words are just an attempt, and the real force is actually in the back......"

"That's why the ranking of "The Gate of Eternal Life" will be surpassed by "The Age of Steam"." Miyamoto understood something.

When he got the name, he felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that the plot could be more burning, but Uematsuno's popularity in China has always been at its peak, not to mention that Uematsuno is also a mature cartoonist, and he can judge many things for himself, so he didn't worry too much, but he didn't expect him to play such a hand.

"yes. What is the level of "Steam Age", I know very well in my heart, "False Sin" is an evil comic, and the momentum is very strong at the moment, but it may not be able to surpass "DN", except for "SLAM DUNK", I can't see where its potential is. BUT LIKE I SAID, FOR NOW, SLAM DUNK HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A PILLAR MANGA. ”

"Uematsu-sensei, what do you think?"

"What do you think? I'll breathe a sigh of relief if it does become a pillar. Uematsuno pressed his hand to his neck, "Now, 'The Gate of Eternal Life' is very important to 'Shonen Leap', and sometimes, its explosion point can even affect the sales of the magazine, and this pressure is so great that considering the sales of the magazine, I don't even dare to draw my favorite manga, even if it is over, I am not sure." If there is a manga that can relieve my pressure and allow me to take a break for a week or two while breathing a little relief, it is also a good thing for the future creation of "The Gate of Eternal Life". ”

"The Gate of Eternal Life is coming to an end?" Miyamoto was taken aback.

"Didn't I tell you? It's 70% now, and it's probably going to be over in another four or five years, right? Uematsuno touched his chin and speculated.

Miyamoto breathed a sigh of relief, the percentage in Uematsuno's mouth is not countable, and it is still 70% after four or five years.

"Then the ranking of this issue of the little book ......"

"I don't know. It is possible to win over SLAM DUNK, after all, Eternal Gate has an animation advantage. But many things are uncertain. Miyamoto-sensei, please let me know the name of the little book in this issue. Uematsuno smiled.

Miyamoto was a little surprised, after the end of "Hunter in the Wasteland", Uematsuno didn't care so much about the little book of "Shonen Leap".

IS IT BECAUSE OF SLAM DUNK? No, it should be said, it must be because of SLAM DUNK.

Miyamoto Ping saw Uematsuno with a smile on his face, and for some reason, his heart suddenly became nervous.

Friday is the day when the "Young Leap" book comes down, and the editorial department is also discussing who will make it to the top this time.

China Kotani and Hei Miyamoto are not very temperamental in normal times, and on this day, their faces are even more tense, and they don't even have to look at each other.

Just after ten o'clock, the Xiaoshu email was sent to the mailboxes of the various editors, and Kotani Sena and Miyamoto Ping opened the email for the first time and witnessed the ranking of the small book.

"The Gate of Eternal Life" won the first place again with 632 votes, and "SLAM DUNK" rose from the fifth place in the previous issue to the second place, only 14 votes behind "The Gate of Eternal Life".
