40. It turned out to be Go
Guo Pinyuan was speechless, although this story is great in all aspects, it is still the consistent Liang Yu style, and the work is finished in one sentence.
He glanced up at Liang Yu opposite, and the other party obviously understood that such a work could not be fooled, revealing an expression of rubbing his fingers and staring at his toes like a primary school student doing something wrong.
Guo Pinyuan wanted to say a few words, but he still held back, after all, he hadn't finished reading the storyboard in his hand, so he continued to turn the page, but after only two pages, he vomited blood.
- It's still Go!
But this time, it's no longer a short story, but a storyboard that's really being used for a long serialization.
He watched it patiently, and unlike the simple and straightforward story in the script story, the boy who didn't know how to play Go at all accidentally obtained the possession of the chess master, and then became a blockbuster, because it was written from a short story to a long one, so the story also became full, especially reflected in the portrayal of details.
Especially Guo Pinyuan was taken aback when he saw the character of Zuo Wei, this character did not exist in the short story submitted by Liang Yu, he thought at first that this was a woman with a good face, but he didn't expect this to be an image deliberately created by Liang Yu. To be honest, male characters in shonen manga are mostly rough or hot-blooded, and such beautiful characters are used in shoujo manga, etc., but this can't be said to be bad, if you consider that this story is published, such a character is a highlight.
After all, qinqi, calligraphy and painting, known as an elegant name, this chess refers to Go, and the main characters who are too rough do not match the work. And if these characters are written by Chen Nan, they will probably be able to go to the next level, which may not be able to firmly attract female readers.
In fact,Although the shonen weekly Fantasy is a shonen manga,But there are still a lot of female readers,The most famous example is Mr. Kazuki's "Kenshin Roguer", this comic was not popular at the beginning, and it was in danger of being cut in half soon after the beginning, if it weren't for the end of "Dragon Pig" that caused Fantasy sales to plummet, and the editor-in-chief of Fantasy was replaced, this comic may have ended early.
But with the support of the new editor-in-chief, "Kenshin Roguer" is now firmly among the first-line manga with the support of its strong female fans.
Although taking this as an example, Guo Pinyuan feels that it is a little inappropriate, but on the other hand, in Fantasy magazine, there are two votes that are the rarest and most precious, one is the vote of children, and the other is the vote of female readers, and the votes of children represent the main body of the magazine's future purchase, representing the future, and the stickiness of female readers is larger, although the number is smaller than that of middle school students, but it is also the audience that the magazine strives for.
So there will always be one or two romance manga and young manga in manga magazines, and even if other manga have a better response, they will be serialized first.
Thinking about it like this, Guo Pinyuan's expression became serious, he no longer held the attitude of denying the subject, and began to read Liang Yu's storyboard.
This storyboard is not complete, it was drawn by Liang Yu when he was on vacation at the beach, so although it looks like a lot, if you subdivide it, it will be less than two episodes.
It was Xiaoguang for pocket money, and Xiao Ming, the neighbor's childhood sweetheart, went to the warehouse of his grandfather's house to find old things to sell, and accidentally found a bloody chessboard, but the amazing thing is that Xiao Ming couldn't see the blood stains on the chessboard at all, and then, Xiaoguang heard the call of the person who was obsessed with distant time and space, so that Zuo Wei, who had lingered for thousands of years in order to achieve the skill of "one of the hands of God", attached a corner of his heart, so as to be reborn in this world.
If you follow the plot of the short story, it is time to quickly show your strength here, with the strength of the chess master, people block and kill, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha.
But Liang Yu patiently described Xiaoguang's resistance to Go at the beginning, yes, for children, playing chess is still too boring, but Xiaoguang, who is kind by nature, still can't stand Zuo Wei's bitter pleading, and went to the Go class with him. Under the chance of a mistake, he met Xiao Liang, who was destined to be an opponent for the rest of his life.
"Isn't there anything when you get here?" Guo Pinyuan raised his head from the storyboard in his hand and looked at Liang Yu.
Liang Yu replied: "Well, next Xiaoguang has to rely on Zuo Wei to win Xiaoliang, I am thinking about how to draw chess games." ”
"You don't have to draw it." Guo Pinyuan said.
"Huh?" Liang Yu was stunned.
"Remember, this is a comic, not a Go textbook," Guo Pinyuan said: "What the audience wants to see is the plot, not teach them how to play chess, so the process of playing chess should be as brief as possible, focusing on describing the expressions and psychology of both sides, and as for the process of playing Go, it can be shown in one or two sub-shots." ”
"Oh." Liang Yu said.
"Although that's what I said," Guo Pinyuan turned the manuscript back, pointed to the storyboard of the sketch and said: "But the basic things still have to be explained, for example, I, although I can't play Go, but the basic Weizi grape is still known for common sense, but now primary school students, and even middle school students, have never been exposed to Go, and the concept of Go is also quite vague. ”
"So what do I do?" Liang Yu asked humbly.
"Isn't there a plot here where Xiaoguang signs up to study in a Go class, and let the teacher teach him how to do this?"
"yes, okay."
"There are two ways to deal with professional knowledge in the comics, one is to add the plot and say it through the mouth of a certain character, which tells the protagonist while actually explaining to the readers, and the second is annotation, which is not particularly important for the impact of the plot on the blank space in this way." Guo Pinyuan explained: "But pay attention, such a situation is best not to have more than two places in the content of a sentence, otherwise it will make the comics obscure, after all, comics are not reference books, but pleasant leisure reading, it is best to let people have a feeling of both relaxing and learning knowledge." ”
Liang Yu nodded, but couldn't help but raise her head strangely, she originally thought that today's delivery would definitely make the editor angry, but she didn't expect Guo Pinyuan to not say anything about it after reading the manuscript, but patiently put forward a lot of professional opinions to her, which made Liang Yu feel a little puzzled.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Guo Pinyuan noticed Liang Yu's gaze and asked.
"No," Liang Yu shook his head and smiled awkwardly: "I thought at first that I would not be able to make a difference this time." ”
"Hahahaha," Guo Pinyuan also laughed: "To be honest, I am more optimistic about your future than what is in front of me, as I said, you are talented, and the progress in painting is quite obvious." So, I won't ask you to do whatever you want, just create at your own pace. ”
"Yes."
Guo Pinyuan thinks that painting is actually not bad as an experience, after all, the person in front of her is just a middle school student, and she has a lot of time and room for growth.
