By then, the Japanese will not only accept the views and ideas in our comics, but will also pay us a lot of money!"
Wow!
Lin Huowang's words really made the three masters excited.
"Fuck! When I was young, I didn't get to carry a gun and go to the battlefield to kill the Japs.
This is getting old. If I can use the comics you mentioned to win over young people in Japan, it will be a contribution to the country.”
"Comrade Lin Huowang, as long as you promise that what you say is true, we three will sell our lives to you."
"Right! We must not let the Japanese devils occupy the high ground of public opinion. Tell us! What do you want us to do? As long as we can help, we will do it without hesitation."
Not only these three masters, but also their more than 20 apprentices were also excited and expressed their desire to join the "Conquer Japan" comic plan.
"Good! Very good! Masters, there is no rush now. It is time for dinner.
Let’s go eat first, and I’ll explain to you in detail what this comic is about in the afternoon…”
At this point, the forest fire came to an abrupt end, reaching a certain point.
Since he had already convinced these old masters to help, his goal had been achieved, so he didn't need to be so anxious to reveal everything.
Burdens! They all need to be untied one by one.
…
On the way to the cafeteria for lunch, the factory director Su Yun really admired Lin Huowang. He gave him a thumbs up and praised him in a low voice: "Comrade Lin Huowang! You are really amazing! These three masters are the most difficult to deal with in our factory.
You can even convince them, you are indeed a talented poet and writer.
Don't worry, we at Chuncheng Film Studio fully support your comic magazine."
"Thank you, Director Su. I can tell you something first. If our comic magazine becomes really popular, it would be best if our Chuncheng Film Studio could recruit a group of animation apprentices as soon as possible.
In the future, these serialized comics can also be made into serialized animations...that is, cartoons.
Then we can make more money by selling it to Japanese TV stations for broadcasting.”
Lin Huowang also started to make big promises for Director Su.
When Director Su heard this, his eyes lit up.
This can be made into a cartoon and sold to Japan. Isn't this a great way to enhance our country's prestige and a great political achievement?
"Okay! I think this can work. As long as your comic magazine is successful, I will start recruiting people right away."
Director Su was also excited, and during the meal, he kept chatting with Lin Huowang.
So much so that Qian Shuzhen, who was sitting on the other side of Lin Huowang, couldn't even get a word in and was even a little jealous.
Soon, after dinner, everyone couldn't wait to come to the art production workshop.
Lin Huowang took a piece of chalk and started writing and drawing on the big blackboard in the art workshop, just like a student taking a college exam.
However, Master Liu raised a question at the beginning: "Comrade Lin Huowang, I am a little confused. What is the difference between the Japanese comics you mentioned and the comic books in our country?
If they are similar things, can they achieve the kind of influence and effect you mentioned before by selling comic books in Japan? Why do I not quite believe it! "
Facing Master Liu's questioning, Lin Huowang directly presented facts and data and said:
"Last year, the annual circulation of comic magazines in Japan reached 700 million copies, with each citizen consuming an average of six copies per year.
In their convenience stores, trams and other places, there is even a culture of "reading comics while standing", while our picture books are limited to borrowing from Xinhua Bookstore.
Our Chinese picture books focus on historical epics such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and folk myths such as "Havoc in Heaven", etc., and lack themes about modern life.
They are often reading materials for young children, that is, most picture books are for children.
But Japanese comics are different. They have completely gotten rid of the label of being "childish".
It can almost cover the entire age group, including boys, girls, young people and so on.
Their comics have a variety of themes, ranging from futuristic science fiction mechanical armor to urban emotional workplace realism. They can even give full play to their imagination and draw some fantastic stories and species, and there will be enough people who like them..."
After Lin Huowang's explanation, the three masters finally understood what kind of art form comics are.
The apprentices with good art skills also became excited, and felt that this comic form was very suitable for the creation and expression of stories.
"Japanese comics use multi-frame storyboards, with close-ups, such as Astro Boy's eyes taking up a whole frame in "Astro Boy," and panoramic switching to create a sense of rhythm, while our comic books use a single frame on each page and lack continuous action performance.
Simply put, Japanese comics are more like TV or movies, presenting story scenes through important continuous actions frame by frame and human imagination.
Our picture books are more like a collection of pages of illustrations, but the stories are mainly described through paragraphs of text, similar to the storyteller's model.
Moreover, Japanese comics can achieve time and space compression through speed lines, such as the afterimages of characters running and onomatopeia (such as "ドカン!" the sound of explosions). A single page can present the entire process from drawing a sword to slashing, which is far superior to the static narrative of picture books.
This kind of visual sense and impact is the unique charm of comics.
