Chapter 147 Drawing

Zeng Pingzhi is a doctor, and he is a very popular heart surgeon, so he naturally earns a lot of money.

In order to lure him back to Xiangjiang, the director of Marianne Hospital spent a lot of effort and paid him very well.

In addition to the high salary, the dean specially bought him a big house, about 1,700 square feet, or about 160 square meters, and gave it to him.

Although in Xiangjiang in the past few years, housing prices have not risen yet, but the location of this house is good, and it is a property developed by Sun Hung Kai. Naturally, the price is not cheap, and it cost about 400,000 to buy it - 40 three or four years ago. 10,000, at least it can be used as the current 2 million.

Now the price of this house has already increased to more than 2 million.

It's just that the price of the house I live in can't be raised or not. It's impossible to sell it to make money, and then live in a rental house with my family, right?

Of course, Zeng Pingzhi is also a person with vision. He has made a lot of money in the past two years, so he bought two units of houses for his son and daughter on Hong Kong Island, both of which are about 1,000 square feet. After they grow up, they will live in it, and the biggest additional burden will be reduced at that time, so that the children can live a very good life.

Now my son is studying at university in Xiangjiang, and after another year, he will go to a famous medical school in the United States to study medicine, and then come back after a few years of training. The generous remuneration is inevitable.

The daughter is still young, so I thought I don't need to worry about her, but I didn't expect that some time ago, I almost got into a catastrophe and was almost kidnapped and sold away. This really made Zeng Pingzhi break out in a cold sweat.

The youngest daughter is his heart and soul, and he is the most precious on weekdays. However, if he is kidnapped and sold, he will never see her again. Zeng Pingzhi doesn't know if he still has the courage to live.

Fortunately, it was Yin Jun who happened to save Zeng Yuqian, so Zeng Pingzhi was very grateful to Yin Jun. Even if his daughter wanted to be Yin Jun's teacher and teach him to practice spoken English, Zeng Pingzhi did not stop him, but encouraged his daughter to learn more. The constant contact with Yin Jun will allow Yin Jun to influence his daughter and make her a mature and introverted person.

Yes.

Although Yin Jun is only 16 years old, no one dares to regard him as a half-grown child for his achievements.

Zeng Pingzhi has been in contact with Yin Jun many times. He always feels that Yin Jun's body contains the soul of a mature man, but Yin Jun still maintains the purity of a young man, which makes him feel a little contradictory.

But anyway, because of Aunt Zhang's affairs and daughter's affairs, Zeng Pingzhi has a full understanding of Yin Jun's ability to deal with people and adapt to the situation, and Yin Jun was fired as the gold medal screenwriter who is unparalleled in the world. ability, and the ability to earn more than Zeng Pingzhi, so Zeng Pingzhi is willing to let his daughter have more contact with Yin Jun and learn more.

As for emotional matters, Zeng Pingzhi wasn't worried at all.

My daughter is only 13 years old this year, how can I talk about feelings?

Besides, Yin Jun's real girlfriend is Zhu Wushuang who is very popular now. Guan Zhilin is much more beautiful than her own daughter, and she can also be called Yin Jun's childhood sweetheart. What action does my 13-year-old daughter do?

This is too underestimating Yin Jun's character!

On the contrary, what Zeng Pingzhi thinks is that if his daughter can have such a good friend and elder brother as Yin Jun, then no matter what kind of job she does in the future, her daughter will not have to worry about her own livelihood or worry about extra troubles.

Let the son let him go outside to wander around, it's okay to be covered in bruises.

But for a daughter, more people are needed to take care of her, love her, and let her not be wronged.

With such a mentality, Zeng Yuqian and Yin Jun's oral tutoring can be carried out, otherwise Zeng Yuqian is also a girl, and she is not related to Yin Jun, and Yin Jun often comes to her house, but it is not such a thing.

Yin Jun came over today and practiced with Zeng Yuqian on two episodes of a TV series last year. Seeing that it was still early, Zeng Yuqian brought out the fruits of her labor this week and showed it to Yin Jun.

Last month, Yin Jun discovered that Zeng Yuqian likes to draw, so he gave Zeng Yuqian the idea and setting of "Chibi Maruko-chan", and after letting her think about it for a while, he wrote an episode of the animation version to Zeng Yuqian. .

Yin Jun's biggest impression of "Chibi Maruko-chan" is naturally the animation version he watched. He has never watched a single episode of the original book, but he watched the animation version on the TV in the orphanage when he was a child. Revisited several times, the impression is naturally very deep.

The story of "Chibi Maruko", to be precise, should be the story of Chibi Maruko and a group of people around her.

Before the release of "Crayon Shin-chan", this book was the most popular family story in Japan for children, but it defeated the big names like "Smart Ikkyu".

If it weren't for the fact that "Crayon Shin-chan" is so mature that many young people like to watch it, "Chibi Maruko-chan" would definitely not lose.

Even so, "Chibi Maruko-chan" is still the best of "Crayon Shin-chan" in terms of viewing habits of children under the age of 15. The most precious thing contained in it is to view it from the perspective of an innocent child. Watching the world, and then adding some warmth between people in society, becomes the king of animation for all ages that everyone loves to see.

In fact, Japanese society is not so warm, it is full of many dark places, too much intrigue, and too much pressure.

However, people always hope to see more beauty and more sunshine, right?

Therefore, "Chibi Maruko-chan" only uses two weapons - innocence and warmth, which are enough to impress all audiences.

What Yin Jun grasps is these two core things. As for other things, such as Xiao Maruko's naughtiness, grandpa's old urchin, sister's always teasing younger sister, Xiaoyu's stupidity, Hanaura's pretending to be mature... etc., They are all for these two central points.

With these basic things, and then all the characters are done well, then the story will naturally be easy to make up.

I don't dare to say anything else, but Yin Jun is completely capable of producing about 60 episodes of the animated version.

After all, there is basically no connection between each episode of "Chibi Maruko-chan", just a nice and warm story.

The animation version is usually around 20 minutes, and the content in it is usually two or three episodes of manga serialization, which is enough to make a third volume of a volume, and even for some complicated animations, an episode is half a volume of volume.

Therefore, if "Chibi Maruko-chan" is to be serialized in comic books in the future, according to the speed of one episode a week, more than 60 episodes are enough for Zeng Huaqian to serialize for two or three years.

At that time, even if Zeng Yuqian can't figure out the plot by herself, Yin Jun can still organize some clever screenwriters and ask them to work together to construct the plot of each episode-just like Aoyama's "Conan", in fact In the later "Conan", many stories were completed by his huge team of assistants.

However, any well-known cartoonists, before they became famous, basically thought of plots and drew pictures by themselves.

Those who are famous for their paintings like Hara Tetsuo and Obata Takeru are very few.

Zeng Yuqian is now taking on the roles of Tetsuo Hara and Takeshi Obata. The script idea is given by Yin Jun, and she is responsible for transforming the story into comics.

Of course, she is luckier than Tetsuo Hara and Takeshi Obata because Yin Jun knows how to draw "Chibi Maruko-chan" is the best, so he gave her a lot of guidance and inspiration in character setting.

Don’t underestimate such things as comics. It is a “non-business” thing in China, but in Japan, it is a very popular and respected industry. It is basically the same as Huaguo Baodao and Xiangjiang in the 1970s and 1980s. Like the famous martial arts novelist, later, it became one of the quintessence of Japan.

Zeng Yuqian's introduction to comics was learned from a Japanese painter, so she has a very serious understanding of comics, and she doesn't think that comics are just for fun.

Therefore, when Zeng Yuqian was painting "Chibi Maruko", she didn't do anything else in the first week, she just drew portraits of characters such as Chibi Maruko based on Yin Jun's explanation and notebook.

Yin Jun wanted to cultivate Zeng Yuqian so that she could have a happy and uplifting childlike innocence, so he gave "Chibi Maruko-chan" to Zeng Yuqian to draw, but Yin Jun did not directly draw the portraits of Chibi Maruko and others in his mind. Zeng Yuqian looked at it, but let her imagine what it would be like.

After the first week, when the characters were drawn, Zeng Yuqian spent more than 100 character sketches in total, drawing the portraits of the 11 main characters that appeared in the first episode.

Yin Jun looked at it, because the setting given by Xiaowanzi is more accurate, so Zeng Yuqian's painting is almost the same as the original work, but she has to spend a little bit more on the picture of her sister, and the portrait of grandpa is more cartoonish than the original work Some of them are old and not repaired, but the rest of the portraits are not very different.

"Chibi Maruko-chan" has never been good at drawing beautifully. The characters are actually drawn in a very ordinary way, which can be drawn by an ordinary manga artist.

Therefore, in terms of character design, Yin Jun actually has less strict requirements on the appearance of Maruko and the others.

But Zeng Yuqian painted very carefully. She spent a total of 27 portraits of Xiaowanzi's front, side, and back, which surprised Yin Jun. She didn't expect this 13-year-old girl to be so serious and delicate. .

It seems that in her character, there is a mind suitable for painting.

Therefore, although many characters were not quite the same as the original version except for Xiaowanzi, Yin Jun still did not modify any of them on purpose. Go draw the first episode.

Generally speaking, an episode of an anime is equivalent to 2-3 episodes of serial content. The first episode usually has a little more to express. In addition, Zeng Yuqian is the first time to adapt and draw a story alone, so Zeng Yuqian only drew for a week. Seven or eight pages.

However, in Yin Jun's view, Zeng Yuqian's talent is very high, and this kind of comics that don't require an artist still somewhat bury her talent.

In addition, in terms of the plot and progress of the comics, from Yin Jun's point of view, Zeng Yuqian's drawing was a little slower, and the connection was a little more cumbersome. It was relaxed and cheerful, but it was still not clean enough.

But Yin Jun didn't point out this point either. When a 13-year-old girl draws such a large-scale comic, the plot and progress are still handled by herself. How much more can you ask for?

For such a little girl, you can only encourage her, not tell her that you are wrong or that, which will definitely dampen her enthusiasm.

Taking a step back, even if there are many deficiencies, you should wait until she spends seven, eight or ten episodes, and after she has made a lot of progress, you can ask her to go back and sort it out. I believe that at that time Even Zeng Yuqian herself can't understand her immature plot structure, so she went to revise and fill in it by herself.

Yin Jun treats others very patiently.

After he was promoted to be the editor-in-chief of the magazine in his previous life, he treated a few young graduates who had graduated from college and entered the workplace very carefully, and finally made them unwilling to leave the magazine even though their salary here was not high.

In the words of this group of young people, it is easy to find a job with a high salary, but it is difficult to find such a good boss.

For this reason, Yin Jun couldn't laugh or cry, so he could only take them to use their spare time to do some writing and commenting work on the Internet. Before Yin Jun ran back to Xiangjiang, he would give them an extra three months With an income of 4,000, each of them can earn 7,000 to 8,000. In a place like Wu Han, it can be considered a medium to high salary, and they are living well.

Come back to Zeng Yuqian.

Under Yin Jun's careful guidance and encouragement, Zeng Yuqian finally finished drawing the entire first episode today.

She drew a total of 76 pages in the first episode, and put it on the weekly magazine of the manga, which is the number of serials in three weeks. If you encounter some old fritters, it can basically be counted as a serial of 4 issues.

As Yin Jun thought before, the first episode of "Chibi Maruko-chan" seems to be more funny and relaxed, but Chibi Maruko's cuteness, grandpa's cuteness, sister's knife-mouthed bean curd heart...etc. Behaved a little vaguely.

Of course, this is not bad.

The painting style of "Chibi Maruko" was so ignorant, childish, and young at the beginning, and it was only after the 1990s that some style elements that were in sync with society were gradually added, so that Chibi Maruko had some personality. The overall style has also gradually improved with age groups of several years old.

Although adults do not like it, it has brought many children readers to "Chibi Maruko-chan" from the very beginning, even middle school students can read it with gusto, laying the foundation for its national comics.

If it was so sharp and clean from the beginning, I'm afraid it would have to grab the job of Shinnosuke Nohara's children-although "Chibi Maruko" still can't compare with "Crayon Shin-chan" in terms of explicit adultization, but The hat of the leader and founder of the original style cannot be taken off.

"Brother Jun, do I draw well like this?" Zeng Yuqian sat beside Yin Jun, looked up her pretty face eagerly, and asked expectantly.

"Not only is it good!" Yin Jun never hesitates to praise others, "Qianqian is the best little manga artist I have ever seen! This "Chibi Maruko" is better than I expected. Take It’s more than enough to submit articles in Japan!”

"Really?" Zeng Yuqian giggled, her crescent eyes curled into a smile, "People are just drawing mediocrely. Brother Jun, your setting and story are really good. I don't think how I draw I haven’t painted the kind of relaxed and interesting expression in your story.”

"This is the first time for you to draw a long story, and you are already very good! Not to mention your peers, even the students of the comic school who are five or six years older than you can't compare with you." Yin Jun laughed.

"So, can I show it to my parents?" Zeng Yuqian asked.

Because she had no confidence and no grades before, Zeng Yuqian didn't tell her parents. Now that Yin Jun has praised her, the little girl of course wants her parents to praise her too.

"Okay!" Yin Jun nodded, "This is our Qianqian's work, so let them see it naturally! Let them know that Qianqian is the most powerful little painter!"

Hearing Yin Jun praise herself so much, Zeng Yuqian couldn't help puffing out her small chest, as if she wanted to show her dignified and stable temperament.

Failure can make people grow up, but success can also make people mature.

It's just that success is easier to be proud of, and it needs good guidance.

But on the other hand, there are too many people who are depressed because of failure, and they also need good encouragement.

What Zeng Yuqian needs now is to succeed first, to increase her confidence, and then slowly settle down, making her a wise and steady girl.

At this point, Yin Jun basically doesn't need to worry about her.

"After we save more manuscripts for "Chibi Maruko", are we going to send it to a Japanese manga club?" Zeng Yuqian asked again at this time.

"Not for now." Yin Jun said, "Qianqian, do you trust me?"

"Of course I believe in Brother Jun!" Zeng Yuqian said without hesitation, since Yin Jun took the risk to save her, this girl now directly regards Yin Jun as her own brother.

"Then just wait." Yin Jun murmured, "I will find a good display platform for "Chibi Maruko-chan" by next year at the latest."

"OK."

Zeng Yuqian lightly tapped Fen Zhen and said, "Then, I will draw seriously and save more manuscripts. The speed is not fast now, and you gave me so many collections of manuscripts last week, at least enough for me to draw for half a year!"

"Don't worry." Yin Jun touched her little head, "Qianqian's efforts now will be transformed into dazzling results in the future!"

"Um!"

Zeng Yuqian smiled sweetly.

Little girls are a little vain.

When she thought that her painting "Chibi Maruko-chan" would be published and would be liked by so many people, she was naturally filled with excitement and pride.

(The two updates are 10,000 words. I think it’s too little to write, so I’m embarrassed to ask for a monthly pass. But I think, for the sake of my hard work, gentlemen should reward a few monthly passes!)
