Chapter 379: Ji Kong, which will end sooner or later
In Sword Art Online, Asuna is indeed a more difficult character to portray, because there are too many characteristics and cuteness in her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
She is heroic but gentle and virtuous, and sometimes makes a little confusion.
These disparate traits are perfectly combined in the novel to form such a charismatic character as Asuna.
While this charm makes readers like the character of Asuna even more, it also puts pressure on the creation of the animation.
"What does Sora mean by softening her character image a little?"
After listening to Ji Kong's long list of words, Suzuki Kazuchi asked.
"It doesn't have to be softened." Ji Kong frowned, thought hard for a while and said: "The problem should be in the temperament, the character of Asuna should have its own unique temperament, which is reflected in the painting, probably a look, or a facial detail, etc., if you want me to paint......"
Ji Kong muttered to himself, and Suzuki Kazuchi immediately took out a pencil from the pen basket on his desk and handed it to Ji Kong.
Ji Kong thanked him and took it, and then according to the memory in his mind, he began to draw on the back of the manuscript paper in front of him.
He himself has proficient comic skills, coupled with the impression in his memory, he quickly completed the drawing of a person.
Kazuchi Suzuki looked at Ji Kong's painting, and then looked at the character design submitted by A-1 Pictures, and exclaimed, "Awesome, Mr. Sora, this is a world of difference!" ā
Suzuki Kazuchi's words are naturally touted and exaggerated, but I have to say that Ji Kong's portrait of a person is indeed much better.
Ji Kong's Asuna has a soft face, but her temperament is very strong, especially those eyes, which obviously give people a very gentle feeling, but they also convey a firm look, and there is a wonderful harmony in the contradictions, which is refreshing.
It seems that I've been staying with the real white for a long time.,My painting skills have also grown a little!
Ji Kong was also very satisfied with his painting, and pushed the painting to Suzuki Kazuchi and said: "But my painting is drawn in the form of a comic, and it is different from the character design required for animation after all...... Please ask the editor-in-chief Suzuki to give this picture to the artists of A-1 Pictures and let them create it based on it. ā
"Okay, I'll contact them later."
Suzuki Kazuchi put away Ji Kong's painting, nodded and said, "What about the other people's drawings?" Do you have any other opinions? ā
"No, everything else is still satisfied."
After all, A-1 Pictures is the top animation production company in the industry, and its artists are naturally very good, so there are not too many problems for Ji Kong to pick.
After talking about this matter, there is nothing too important next, and after the two talked about animation production for a while, when Ji Kong was about to say goodbye, Suzuki Kazuchi suddenly coughed slightly and asked, "That...... Sora-sensei, about the second season of the Sword Art Online novel......"
"That's right, Suzuki, editor, didn't you say that I almost forgot, and it's about to be delivered, right?" Ji Kong suddenly realized.
"This weekend, to be exact."
"Well, editor Suzuki, don't show such despair, although I almost forgot the day when the novel was delivered, but I have always written the novel...... Well, to be precise, I've already finished the second volume, and I'll send it to you directly to the computer when I get back. ā
Seeing Suzuki Kazuchi's rare look of despair, Ji Kong said with some amusement.
Although he has a lot of things to do now, only the writing of novels is going on very easily, because in class, all he can do is write novels.
And hearing Ji Kong say this, Suzuki Kazuchi finally breathed a sigh of relief, just now when Ji Kong said that he forgot the delivery date, he really had a heart in his throat.
If he vigorously promoted "Sword Art Online" at the beginning, it was because of Ji Kong's identity, then what he values now is completely the work "Sword Art Online"!
Today's "Sword Art Online" is one of the most popular light novels at present, even in the electric shock library where excellent works are frequently released, it is also a well-deserved "first brother".
What's more, its potential is still very huge, and it is expected to become the first light novel to sell more than 10 million, so Suzuki Kazuchi naturally values it very much.
"By the way, speaking of light novels, Kasumigaoka Shiyu ...... That is, Xia Shizi's "Love Metronome", which should be published recently, right? ā
Ji Kong asked.
Speaking of which, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's "Love Metronome" was submitted to the Dengeki Library with the help of Ji Kong.
"The initial 50,000 copies have been printed, and they are expected to be released this weekend, and we still have a few samples here, if you need it, Mr. Kong, I will ask someone to bring it to you."
"Then it's going to be a hassle for the editor-in-chief Suzuki."
Ji Kong nodded, he had promised Kasumigaoka Shiyu before that he would buy a copy and give it to her personally on the day her novel was published.
Now, if you can bring her a sample before it goes on sale, it will naturally surprise her even more.
After waiting for a while, Ji Kong got the book "Love Metronome", and then said goodbye and left while flipping through it.
Because he watched it a little seriously, when Suzuki Kazuchi said that he wanted to do an event in his name, he subconsciously agreed after hearing vaguely.
So when he got home, as soon as he entered the door, Kasumigaoka Shiyu shouted at him in disbelief: "The end of this month is Ji Jun's birthday?!" ā
"That's right."
Ji Kong subconsciously replied, and immediately asked after reacting, "No, how do you know?" ā
"Of course, it's the library Weibo of the electric shock...... No, that's not the point. Kasumigaoka Shiyu stomped her feet a little anxiously, "It's too sudden, how can you be born at the end of this month?" ā
"Why can't I just die at the end of this month?"
Ji Kong said speechlessly.
"No matter, time is already tight, I want to ...... now"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu muttered in place and didn't know what to say, and then stomped her feet and ran back to her bedroom, ignoring Ji Kong calling her from behind.
Looking at the "Love Metronome" in his hand, Ji Kong shook his head speechlessly.
But what did she say before, what happened to her birthday that she knew from Weibo?
Thinking of Kasumigaoka Shiyu's previous words, Ji Kong picked up his mobile phone and logged in to Weibo, and then saw a freshly baked blog post in the Weibo of the Electric Shock Library.
The gist of the blog post is this:
Dengeki Bunko officially announced the animation of the popular masterpiece "Sword Art Online",And this weekend,That is, Sora-sensei's birthday,A meeting for fans,As long as you leave a message under this Weibo,You have a chance to get the qualification to enter......
Seeing this Weibo, thinking of the attitude of Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu just now, Ji Kong suddenly felt that he was going to finish! (To be continued.) )
