Chapter 62: Luo Yang's Bottleneck Period 1
Mr. Luo Yang, a rookie cartoonist, has been a little troubled recently, and he doesn't want to think about food, and he doesn't even have the usual sleep.
He wasn't in a very good mood, and his favorite new tea before the rain had recently been replaced with a strong black coffee to replenish his mental exertion.
What happened to him, in short, he entered the so-called bottleneck period, and this dilemma that creators will encounter has been bothering him for several days. As a cartoonist, Luo Yang rarely refers to other people's comments to judge the direction of the plot, but now, for the first time, he has found the closest reader to refer to him.
"Fan Linyue, I want to take up a little bit of your time, is that okay?"
"Uh-huh...... What happened to you? Feeling unmotivated? Feeling that Luo Yang's tone was a little sluggish, Fan Linyue immediately cut off the live broadcast, kicked his rotating chair in the direction of the door, and saw that the young cartoonist didn't seem to have slept well for several days, and the light black under his eyes made Fan Linyue a little surprised, he immediately stood up, and walked around in place a little helplessly, he put on a penguin-like pajamas for the live broadcast effect today, and his movements looked particularly silly, very funny, seeing his appearance Luo Yang smiled, but his smile was somewhat bitter.
Luo Yang...... Are you sick? Do you want to go to the hospital!? ”
"No, no, no. Don't panic first, listen to me slowly, do you want to have a few strawberries first, I just washed them, and the strawberries in season still taste good...... "Why haven't I spoken yet, this kid is panicking like this." Being cared for so much by the people who lived with him made Luo Yang's face suddenly improve a lot, and he even felt a little relieved.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Nothing can compare to the temptation of food, as soon as he heard that there was something delicious, Fan Linyue suddenly didn't care about anything else, took the plate in Luo Yang's hand and began to eat strawberries like a storm.
Seeing that Fan Lin began to comment on the strawberries he had just eaten, Luo Yang entered his room in a few steps, closed the door, pulled a chair and sat down, and faced Fan Lin more face-to-face.
"Say it."
"Fan Linyue, you take a look at this first, this is the latest plot." Luo Yang handed Fan Linyue a booklet in his hand, which was the monthly comic serial magazine "I Want to Read Comics", Luo Yang's "Let's Come to the City of Monsters to Visit Food!" is currently serialized in this magazine.
"What is this...... Is your serial? I've seen all of this for a long time, huh? "Let's visit the food in the city of monsters as part of "Let's come and visit the city of monsters! Fan Lin is the first to see the serialization that has just been released, and it is several days earlier than the readers of the magazine.
"If you look at the comic behind me, the author is a newcomer. It seems that he has just come of age, and the current little author is really young. ”
"You're not old." Listening to the atmosphere of deep nostalgia for his youth in Luo Yang's tone, Fan Lin burst out laughing, but he immediately got up and began to flip through the comics of this newcomer.
This short comic takes place in space and tells the story of a protagonist who dreams of being a space warrior and grows up to fight in the universe under the help of his sister's seemingly comical and practical training.
This cartoon may not look special, after all, the story itself is very common, but the painting and coloring techniques are very different from common comics, a large number of blackening and blank space give this work a lot of appeal, if Luo Yang doesn't say it, Fan Linyue can't see that this is a newcomer's work at all.
"This comic is still ...... It's pretty awesome! Is it really a minor author? It can't be an impostor, right? Fan Lin finished the short story quickly, and the moment he looked up, Luo Yang noticed a glimmer of unfinished light flashing in his eyes.
"Right? The newcomers are so good now. ”
"Uh-huh." The more Fan Lin raised his head, the more he saw Luo Yang's sad face, the more Fan Lin could see what the other party meant, so he asked, "Luo Yang, do you have something to say?" Still is...... What do you want me to help you? ”
"Would you like to try to be my comic assistant? Coloring and blackening and the like......" Luo Yang suddenly had a whim, this sentence blurted out, as soon as he said it, he regretted it a little, he had also seen Fan Linyue's painting level, that was a complete layman's level, not to mention that he usually didn't use pen and paper, Luo Yang was even a little afraid that he would not be able to control his strength and puncture the manuscript paper. Thinking of this, Luo Yang shuddered, and hurriedly denied: "Forget it, you probably will make a mess for me, and in the end you still want me to clean up, so let's ask you some questions, and you can answer me with your opinion." ”
"Okay."
"Look at where my plot is going now......" Luo Yang took out a blank piece of paper and began to draw some patterns on it to illustrate. You see what my current story mode looks like...... Discover new maps, find companions, explore the local area to get new horror ingredients, cook delicious dishes, and that's pretty much it, oh, and fight your rivals. ”
"Uh-huh, I like the protagonist's nemesis!"
"Isn't it too simple, I'm wondering if I should arrange some other content......" Luo Yang didn't seem to notice what Fan Linyue was saying, the tip of the pen was still scribbling haphazardly on the white paper, and it seemed that his thoughts were like this mess, it was a mess. For example, arrange some suspense or emotional drama here...... Well, no, it feels very unreasonable, and it will affect the flow of the plot...... So how about here......"
"Whew...... I kind of know, you're starting to think nonsense, and that's not going to work. The more Fan Lin understood what the other party was bothering about, he shook his head and ignored Luo Yang's self-questioning, but got up and ran downstairs quickly, and picked up a strange helmet hidden in the cabinet.
