Chapter 237: Worthy of Akira Toriyama
Moreover, aside from the reason for the length, the sports theme of "Slam Dunk" is also a reason for Li Ze's choice.
Because this is a world where comics are very developed, although there are no dragon sea thieves or anything, but hot-blooded juvenile combat comics with similar themes are endless!
It also includes some very good works, just in terms of the quality of the comics, it is not even worse than the dragon sea thief and other gods on the earth!
At present, the level of the two cartoonists is not very high, and the competition in adventure comics is fierce.
If you hit the street with the Dragon Ball painting, it will be a shame for Toriyama!
Just imagine, when he returns to Earth in the future, Li Ze tells a story to his grandchildren: Grandpa, I was a copyist in the other world, copied the Dragon Ball, and then hit the street! That's a big joke!
And the theme of "Slam Dunk" is completely different!
Of course, basketball is not unpopular, and there are naturally basketball-themed comics in this world, and there are quite a few of them!
But Li Ze has read other basketball cartoons before, and unceremoniously said that none of them can play!
Li Ze believes that with the level of "Slam Dunk", if you enter the basketball comic market, it will be a rhythm of killing!
Not to mention creating sales myths like the earth, but being reasonable and being a basketball comic is not too much!
After agreeing with Iwate Bookstore to pay 3,000 yuan for one page of manuscript and handing over the first issue of manuscript 12 days later, Li Ze returned to Xiaoxiaomi.
Meeting!
At the meeting, Li Ze announced the serialization plan of Xiaoxiaomi, which immediately aroused a warm response from the employees.
Xiaomi waved her little fist happily and said, "Great! Finally going to draw a long serialization? ”
Yuzi also smiled and said: "Long-form comics, it is true that only long-form comics can create a higher grade of results." ”
And Brother Shrimp, after thinking for a while, also said slowly: "I once made a wish to Meteor to create a long comic that will leave a name in history. And now, Meteor has received my call, thank you, Meteor. Thank you, Leo Tail. ”
Li Ze first let everyone read the script, and then went to watch another movie.
After watching the movie, everyone almost finished reading the script.
Li Ze asked, "After reading the script, do you have anything to say?" ”
What else can be said? You're not blind!
Good in one word!
Naturally, everyone spoke highly of the script, and Li Ze was filmed in the clouds.
Li Ze, who flew up to the clouds, put forward his own requirements: "The main writer of the comic this time is still Brother Shrimp, Xiaomi, you are mainly responsible for the processing of the background storyboard." ”
"When the time comes, I'll write Brother Shrimp & Sister Shrimp, no problem, right?"
If it's another cartoonist, there may be a bit of a competition, but there's nothing to fight with siblings.
Xiaomi is willing to give Brother Shrimp a hand.
Li Ze continued: "In terms of painting style, the requirement is realistic style, because it is a sports comic, so there are certain requirements for the posture of body movements. Anyway, while you're painting, watch more basketball games. ”
Brother Prawn nodded, "That's for sure, I used to watch basketball games a lot, no problem." ”
Li Ze took a sip of tea and said: "The image and character of the male protagonist are also very clear in the script. Anyway, according to the script I wrote, red-haired high school student. But make a request, although in the script setting, the male protagonist is not a handsome guy, but it is still more handsome to draw. ”
Li Ze couldn't help but think of the original work of "Slam Dunk", the male number two Rukawa Kaede in the original book is a super handsome guy, and the male protagonist Sakuragi is average-looking, otherwise it would be impossible to be rejected and confessed 50 times.
Although the Sakuragi Hanamichi is set to be average, from the reader's point of view, the Sakuragi Hanamichi is purely more than the face, and it is not lost to Rukawa Kaede at all.
It's just that Sakuragi's hairstyle is not as handsome as Rukawa Kaede, plus he often has a funny face, so he is considered far less handsome than Rukawa Kaede.
Li Ze continued to put forward some demands and points.
"Although it is a hot-blooded sports comic, the funny element is also very important, I marked some funny points in the script, but whether it can be shown in the comics depends on your level. In addition to the funny points I wrote, there are many other funny points that you have to discover for yourselves. ”
"Don't exaggerate your figure, we're realistic comics."
"I'm an athlete! I'm a genius! These lines should be repeated and appear in large quantities! ”
"In addition to the basketball game, I also recommend you to watch "Cold-Blooded High School", my setting about delinquent teenagers has similarities with this movie."
Zhou Mi raised his hand and asked: "The male protagonist Sakuragi, is the setting of a bad boy, can you discuss it?" If the male protagonist is a bad teenager, he may encounter a little trouble in terms of review, after all, it doesn't conform to the core values of socialism. ”
Li Ze shook his head and said very firmly: "The setting of a bad boy can't be changed, this is one of the core settings." Most of the content of the male protagonist's friendship line is due to the identity of the bad boy, so the identity of the bad boy cannot be changed. ”
"However, Zhou Mi, you said it very well."
"The mention of the bad boy in the comics reminded me. I'm going to change this script a little, and I may change the plot about bad boys such as Tetsuo Mitsui. ”
Zhou Mi's words reminded Li Ze, and it was a great reminder to Li Ze.
Because Li Ze has seen the pheasant Chen Xiaochun's remorse for "Crazy Boy" more than once in the talk show.
"We are bad people, we teach bad people, and we always bring negative energy to people."
"But remember, we're just actors."
"Just an actor."
"Actor ......"
As a person who grew up in that era, seeing the big brother in the society on the screen when he was a child, he said such words, and he felt a lot about Li Ze.
Of course, "Slam Dunk" itself is a hot-blooded youth sports comic with a focus on sports, which is very different from "Crazy Boy".
But I have to admit that Mito Yohei, Tetsuo and others in "Slam Dunk" are strong and affectionate, and they seem to be a little bit beautified.
Therefore, in order to reflect the sense of social responsibility and conform to the core values of socialism, it is convenient to pass the trial.
The paragraph about delinquent teenagers has to be cut and changed.
Thinking of this, Li Ze smiled and said, "All in all, we won't describe those things too much in our comics, and we will even mention them in one stroke." Sakuragi in our manga is definitely an athlete full of positive energy! ”
