Chapter 1103: Storyboard and Dialogue

"I admit that the latest episode of "" is of high quality, but we are not without opportunities. The 46-page serialization is enough to attract readers, isn't it?" Miyamoto calmed down and comforted.

Uematsuno opened his mouth slightly, hesitated to speak, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "That's what I said, but the words 'win or lose' really showed Teacher Shen's painting skills. come out."

"That's right. Manga, in fact, the more dialogues, the better... Especially hot-blooded manga, too much dialogue, but it is easy to play." Miyamoto understands Uematsuno's meaning.

Shonen manga and shoujo manga are somewhat different.

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

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

However, for shonen manga, dialogue is a double-edged sword.

Dialogue is essential to allow readers to quickly get into the story and understand the content of the manga, but the coherence between the storyboards of shonen manga is much stronger than that of girl manga. If readers keep their eyes on the dialogue, even if it is only for a second, it will interrupt the original flow of the story, making the story feel a sense of fragmentation when reading it.

Therefore, the more tense the storyboard, the less dialogue, in order not to interrupt the reader's thoughts, so that the reader can follow the emotions conveyed by the storyboard and bring them into the story.

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

There is no dialogue, if you want to mobilize readers' emotions, you must rely on the ultimate storyboard and outstanding painters, both of which are indispensable.

For ordinary comics, the cartoonist's artistry does not play a decisive role, because a good script will draw the reader's attention to the story itself. And if a work with poor artistry wants to use storyboards instead of dialogue to arouse readers' emotions, the effect will be very poor.

To give an inappropriate example, this is equivalent to adding a CG picture to a pixel game, and the effect is definitely not as attractive as 3D production.

Going back to the latest chapter of "", there are not a few words in the whole story that are true, but the tension of the game is conveyed through the animation and expressions of the characters. Of course, the readers are immersive.

In addition, there is another point that is more critical. This sentence tells the story of the last minute before the end of the game. So, how to reflect the suffocating tension 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 worth a thousand words language.

A really good work is not about the characters saying how they feel, but about letting readers feel the emotions contained in the comics for themselves.

Through excellent storyboards and superb painters, this chapter has indeed achieved this.

Don't say that ordinary readers are attracted, just like top manga artists like Uematsuno, it is difficult to get out of the manga after reading it.

Uematsuno admits that he can't draw this effect. In fact, dynamic storyboards 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 "winner" is better than "Gate of Eternal Life".

The advantage of "Gate of Eternal Life" is the length, and the advantage of "" is the smooth story, excellent storyboards and painters, which bring excitement and excitement to readers.

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

The first issue of "Gate of Eternal Life" serialized 46 pages, and Uematsuno's attitude was already obvious. This time, he must strive for the first place, otherwise, Uematsuno didn't have to do this step.

As a result, many old readers of "Gate of Eternal Life" began to create momentum for "Gate of Eternal Life" on the Internet, hoping to stir up the popularity of "Gate of Eternal Life" and overwhelm """.

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

"If you have the ability, just use your works to speak, what are you doing to create momentum on the Internet?"

Readers of "The Gate of Eternal Life" refused to budge, "Who is creating momentum online? Are you still not allowed to speak online?"

"That's right, I like to discuss "The Gate of Eternal Life". What's wrong? Can't you?"

"What's the matter? Use your grades to speak! Anyway, the little book will always come out!"

"Comparison, who is afraid of whom?"

...

The quarrel in the 11th district made Huaxia readers eager to try it, but even readers who understand Japanese can only calm down this time. There is no other reason, only because they do not have postcards of "Young Leap" , so you can't vote for "".

If they bought "Young Leap" overseas, by the time they received the magazine, the voting would have ended long ago, and the gain outweighed the loss.

However, it didn't take long before the forums in District 11 spread the news again. The readers of "Gate of Eternal Life" organized themselves and prepared to vote for "Gate of Eternal Life".

"Gate of Eternal Life" has been serialized in "Youth Leap" for 18 years, and its foundation is much deeper than """.

After Chinese readers heard the news, they had no choice but to type on the keyboard. Who made "Youth Leap" not a domestic magazine?

But there are also some crooked ideas.

Isn't there someone in China studying in District 11? Ask these people to buy magazines and fill in postcards for them. The money for buying magazines is paid by some readers in China.

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

Wang Wenhong told Shen Xin the cause and development of this matter, and Shen Xin also smiled wryly.

Similar competition actually has more benefits for comics. It is not only a matter of the number of votes, but also can enhance the cohesion of readers.

When it comes time for online novels to hit the list, a similar situation will occur. Sometimes, the author will ask readers for votes.

Now, Uematsuno has not asked for votes publicly, so he has no reason to express his attitude, especially since he is still in Huaxia, it is very troublesome to communicate with people in District 11.

Knowing Shen Xin's thoughts, Wang Wenhong nodded slightly, thinking that Shen Xin's thoughts were correct.

The ranking is important, of course it is important. If you don't pay attention to it, it is not as important as you think. After all, "" has won the first place in the small book for 9 consecutive times.

This issue of the magazine serialized the last episode of the battle between Xiangbei and Lingnan. The quality is quite high. If you can win the 10th number one in a row, it would be great. It will be a pity if you lose, but you have won it 9 times before, so Wang Wenhong can accept it.

If a netizen makes a statement, Shen Xin will jump out in a hurry, which will make people feel that the situation is not big, and they care too much about temporary gains and losses, which will cause a big loss.

Wang Wenhong temporarily put this matter behind his head, and continued: "Just now, Xiaogu told me that """ temporarily won the first place in this issue of the flash report, but the gap with "The Gate of Eternal Life" has not widened. .”

The so-called flash report means that the magazine office draws out 100 postcards on the second day of the magazine's release in order to make a preliminary evaluation of the performance of the works, and counts the rankings.

Due to the small sample size, discrepancies between the rankings of the quick report and the small book sometimes occur.

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