"I ADMIT THAT THE LATEST WORDS OF SLAM DUNK, ARE OF HIGH QUALITY, BUT WE ARE NOT WITHOUT OPPORTUNITIES. A large 46-page serial is enough to attract readers, isn't it? Miyamoto sorted out his mood and comforted.

Zhi Songye's mouth opened slightly, he wanted to speak and stopped, thought for a moment, and nodded his head, "That's what I said, but the word 'victory or defeat' really shows Mr. Shen's skills in painting." ”

"Yes. In comics, it's not really that the more dialogue, the better...... Especially in hot-blooded comics, there are too many dialogues, but it is easy to play. "Miyamoto understands what Uematsuno means.

Shonen manga and shoujo manga are somewhat different.

This difference is not only reflected in the drawing style of the cartoonist, but also in the storyboard and dialogue.

Generally speaking, the storyboards of shoujo manga are more abstract, to put it more bluntly, that is, the storyboards of shoujo manga are a little messy, therefore, there will be more dialogues in comparison, and readers don't have to worry about reading the dialogue, which will affect the smoothness of the plot.

However, for shonen manga, dialogue is a double-edged sword.

Dialogue is essential if you want readers to quickly bring in the story and make readers understand the content of the manga, but the coherence between the storyboards of shonen manga is much stronger than that of shoujo manga. The reader's gaze stays on the dialogue, even if it is only for a second, which will interrupt the original flow of the story, making the story feel a sense of separation when reading.

Therefore, the more tense the storyboard, the less dialogue, just so as not to interrupt the reader's thoughts, so that the reader can follow the emotions conveyed by the storyboard and bring it into the story.

It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, and to do it is a test of the basic skills of a manga artist.

Without dialogue, if you want to arouse the reader's emotions, you need to rely on the ultimate storyboard and outstanding painting work, both of which are indispensable.

In the case of ordinary comics, the manga artist's drawing is not decisive, because a good script draws the reader's attention to the story itself. And if a work with poor painting wants to use storyboards instead of dialogue to arouse the reader's emotions, the effect will be very poor.

To give an inappropriate example, this is the equivalent of adding a CG image to a pixel game, which is certainly not as appealing as a 3D production.

Going back to the latest episode of "SLAM DUNK", there are not a few sentences throughout, but the tension of the game is conveyed through the animations and expressions of the characters, and of course the reader is immersed in the scene.

And, more crucially, this is the story of the last minute before the end of the game. So, how does that suffocating tension manifest in the game?

This sentence gives an answer - the author has no time to draw dialogue, the players have no time to speak, and even the spectators on the sidelines have forgotten to cheer and cheer, this sense of oppression and suffocation conveyed by the picture is worth a thousand words.

A really good work is not about the characters saying how they feel, but about letting the reader feel the feelings contained in the comics for themselves.

Through excellent storyboarding, and superb artwork, this one really does just that.

Not to mention that ordinary readers are attracted to it, it is also difficult for a top manga artist like Uematsuno to get out of the manga after reading it.

Uematsuno admits that he can't draw this kind of effect himself - in fact, dynamic storyboarding has always been Uematsuno's weakness.

Compared with ordinary cartoonists, his shortcomings may not be obvious, but compared with top cartoonists, this weakness will be magnified.

Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the word "victory or defeat" is better than "The Gate of Eternal Life".

The advantage of "The Gate of Eternal Life" is the length, and the advantage of "SLAM DUNK" is the smooth story, excellent storyboarding, and artwork, which bring readers excitement and excitement.

After the release of "Shonen Leap", the popularity of the two comics has remained high.

The first issue of "The Gate of Eternal Life" is serialized for 46 pages, and Uematunye's attitude is already obvious, this time he must fight for the first, otherwise, Uematsuno does not need to do this step.

AS A RESULT, MANY OLD READERS OF "THE GATE OF ETERNAL LIFE" BEGAN TO BUILD MOMENTUM FOR "THE GATE OF ETERNAL LIFE" ON THE INTERNET, WANTING TO HYPE UP THE POPULARITY OF "THE GATE OF ETERNAL LIFE" AND OVERPOWER "SLAM DUNK".

Naturally, the readers of "SLAM DUNK" refused, and one by one they were filled with righteous indignation and immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.

"If you have the ability, you can use your works to speak, what do you do to create momentum on the Internet?"

Readers of "The Gate of Eternal Life" did not give an inch, "Who is building momentum on the Internet?" Still not allowed to talk online? ”

"That's it, I like to talk about "The Gate of Eternal Life", what's wrong? Isn't it possible? ”

"Fierce what? Speak with your grades! Anyway, the little book always has to come out! ”

"Compare to whom, who is afraid of whom?"

……

The quarrel in District 11 made Huaxia readers look hot and want to try it, but even readers who understand Japanese can only quiet down this time, for no other reason, just because they don't have a postcard for "Shonen Leap", so they can't vote for "SLAM DUNK".

If they had bought "Shonen Leap" and received the magazine, the voting would have been over long ago, and the gains outweighed the losses.

However, it didn't take long for word to spread again in the forums of District 11, and the readers of "The Gate of Eternal Life" spontaneously organized themselves to vote for "The Gate of Eternal Life".

"The Gate of Eternal Life" has been serialized on "Shonen Leap" for 18 years, and its roots are far deeper than that of "SLAM DUNK".

After learning the news, Huaxia readers had no other way than to tap on the keyboard, who made "Young Leap" not a domestic magazine?

But there are also people who come up with some crooked ideas.

Isn't there someone in Japan studying in Zone 11? These people are asked to buy magazines, fill in postcards on their behalf, and the money for buying magazines will be paid by some readers in China.

However, this approach, despite a few votes, is still a drop in the bucket.

Wang Wenhong told Shen Xin about the cause and development of this incident, and Shen Xin also smiled bitterly.

Similar competition is actually more beneficial for comics, it is not only a matter of the number of votes, but also can enhance the cohesion of readers.

A similar situation occurs on the Internet whenever it is time to hit the list, and sometimes, the author will ask readers for votes.

Now, Uematsuno has not publicly asked for votes, so he has no reason to express his attitude, especially since he is still in Huaxia, and it is also very troublesome to communicate with the people in District 11.

Wang Wenhong learned of Shen Xin's thoughts, nodded slightly, and thought that Shen Xin's thoughts were right.

If you don't pay attention to it, it's not as important as you think, after all, "SLAM DUNK" has won the first place in the small book 9 times in a row.

This issue of the magazine serialized the last words of the battle between Xiangbei and Lingnan, and the quality is quite high, and it would be great if it could win the 10th place in a row. It would be a pity if he lost, but he had won it 9 times before, so Wang Wenhong could accept it.

If netizens express their stance slightly, Shen Xin will jump out in a hurry, which will make people feel that the pattern is not big, and they care too much about temporary gains and losses, which will be a big loss.

Wang Wenhong put this matter on the back of his mind for the time being, and continued: "Just now, Xiao Gu told me that in this issue of the flash report, "SLAM DUNK" temporarily won the first place, but the gap with "The Gate of Eternal Life" has not been widened. ”

The so-called flash report means that in order to preliminarily evaluate the results of the work, the magazine will draw 100 postcards on the second day of the magazine's release and count the rankings.

Because the sample size is too small, inconsistencies between the rankings of the flash report and the small book are not uncommon.

For Shen Xin, getting the first place in the quick report is a good start, but it is Xiaoshu who really determines the ranking.
