My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 1103: Storyboard and Dialogue

   "I admit that the latest words of "" are of high quality, but we are not without the opportunity. The 46-page serialization is enough to attract readers, isn't it?" Miyamoto reorganized his feelings and comforted.

  

Uematsuno's mouth opened slightly, and he stopped talking. After thinking for a moment, he nodded his head. "That's what I said, but the words'victory or defeat' really show Mr. Shen's skill in painting. come out."

  

   "Yes. Manga, in fact, the more dialogue the better... Especially the hot-blooded manga, too much dialogue, but easy to play." Miyamoto Hira understands Uematsuno's meaning.

  

   Shonen Manga and Shoujo Manga are somewhat different.

  

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

  

Generally speaking, the storyboards of shojo comics are more abstract. To put it more bluntly, the storyboards of shojo comics are a bit messy. Therefore, there will be more dialogues. Readers don’t have to worry about reading the dialogues, which will affect the plot. Fluency.

  

   However, for Shonen Manga, dialogue is a double-edged sword.

  

   Want to let readers quickly bring the story into the story, let the readers understand the content of the comics, dialogue is essential, but the coherence between the chapters of the boy manga is much stronger than the girl manga. The reader stays on the dialogue, even for only one second, it will interrupt the original fluency of the story, making the story read with a sense of fragmentation.

  

   Therefore, the more intense the storytelling, the less dialogue, in order not to interrupt the reader's thoughts, so that readers can follow the emotions conveyed by the storytelling into the story.

  

   It is easy to say, but difficult to do. To do this, it is a test of the basic skills of the manga artist.

  

   There is no dialogue. If the reader's emotions are aroused, it is necessary to rely on the ultimate lensing and outstanding painting skills, both of which are indispensable.

  

   For ordinary comics, the manga artist’s drawing skills are not decisive, because an excellent script will draw the reader’s attention to the story itself. And if a work with poor painters wants to replace the dialogue with a storyboard to arouse the emotions of the readers, the effect will be very poor.

  

   To give an inappropriate example, this is equivalent to a cg screen for a pixel game, and the effect is definitely not as attractive as 3d production.

  

   Going back to the latest episode of "", there are not a few words in the whole article, but the tension of the game is conveyed through the character's animation and expressions, and of course the reader is on the scene.

  

   In addition, there is one more important point. This sentence tells the story of the last minute before the end of the game. So, how does the suffocating tension manifest in the game?

  

This sentence gives an answer. The author has no time to draw the dialogue, and the players have no time to speak. Even the audience on the sidelines forgot to cheer and cheer. This sense of oppression and suffocation conveyed by the picture is more than a thousand words. language.

  

   A really good work is not about the characters telling how they feel, but about allowing readers to personally feel the emotions contained in the comics.

  

  Through the excellent storyboard and the superb painterly, this statement did achieve this.

  

   Not to mention that ordinary readers are attracted. Top manga artists like Uematsuno can hardly get out of manga after reading them.

  

   Uematsuno admits that he can't draw this kind of effect. In fact, dynamic shots have 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 aspect, the word "victory" is better than "The Gate of Eternal Life".

  

   The advantage of "The Gate of Eternal Life" is the length, while the advantage of "" is the excitement and excitement brought to the reader by the smooth story, excellent storytelling and painting skills.

  

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

  

   The first issue of "The Gate of Eternal Life" is serialized on page 46. Uematsuno's attitude is already obvious. This time, he must fight for the first place. Otherwise, Uematsuno does not need to do this step.

  

   So, many old readers of "The Gate of Eternal Life" began to build momentum for "The Gate of Eternal Life" on the Internet, wanting to stir up the popularity of "The Gate of Eternal Life" and overwhelm "".

  

   The readers of "" naturally refused, filled with righteous indignation, and immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.

  

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

  

   The readers of "The Gate of Eternal Life" refused to let go, "Who has created momentum on the Internet? Still not allowed to speak on the Internet?"

  

   "That is, I like to discuss "The Gate of Eternal Life", what's wrong? Can't it?"

  

   "What's so fierce? Use grades to speak! Anyway, small books will always come out!"

  

   "Compared, who is afraid of whom?"

  

  ……

  

The quarrel in District 11 made Huaxia's readers look hot and want to try it out, but even for readers who understand Japanese, they can only calm down this time. There is no other reason, just because they don’t have the postcard of "Young Leap". , It is impossible to vote for "".

  

   If you buy "Young Leap" from overseas, when they receive the magazine, the voting will be over long ago, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

  

   However, it didn't take long for the forums in District 11 to report that readers of "Eternal Life Gate" organized themselves and prepared to vote for "Eternal Life Gate".

  

   "The Gate of Eternal Life" has been serialized in "Young Leap" for 18 years, and the foundation is much deeper than that of "".

  

   After the readers of Huaxia learned of this news, they had no other way except to type on the keyboard. Who made "Junior Leap" not a domestic magazine?

  

   But some people thought of some crooked ideas.

  

  Isn't anyone studying abroad in District 11 in China? These people are asked to buy magazines and fill in postcards on their behalf. Some readers in China pay for the magazines.

  

   However, even though this approach has a few votes, it is still a drop in the bucket.

  

  Wang Wenhong told Shen Xin about the cause and development of this incident, and Shen Xin was also smiling wryly.

  

  Similar competition is actually more beneficial to comics. It is not only a question of the number of votes, but also can enhance the cohesion of readers.

  

   A similar situation occurs every time an online novel needs to make the list ~lightnovelpub.net~, 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, he is still in China, and it is very troublesome to communicate with people in District 11.

  

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

  

  The matter of ranking is important, of course it is also important. If it is not taken seriously, it is not as important as expected. After all, "" has won the first place in the small book 9 times in a row.

  

   This issue of the magazine serializes the last episode of the battle between Xiangbei and Lingnan. The quality is quite high. If you can get the 10th first place, it would be great. If you lose, you will regret it, but you have won it 9 times before, so Wang Wenhong can accept it.

  

   If a netizen expresses his opinion a little bit, Shen Xin will jump out anxiously, it will make people feel that the situation is not big, and care too much about temporary gains and losses, which will lead to a big loss.

  

Wang Wenhong put the matter behind his head for the time being, and continued: "Just now, Otani told me that in this issue of the newsletter, "" temporarily won the first place, but the gap with "The Gate of Eternal Life" has not been widened. ."

  

   The so-called quick report means that in order to initially evaluate the performance of the work, the magazine will draw out 100 postcards on the second day of the magazine’s sale and count the rankings.

  

   Because the sample is too small, the rankings of the short report and the small book are not always inconsistent.

  

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