Chapter 169 My Boss Is Not a Human

It would be a bit difficult to handle a total of thirteen people.

There are only nine spots available, so someone is bound to be eliminated.

As a result, Zhang Hua could only select the 13 people with relatively good sketching scores to participate in the competition according to the original rules.

The other few who had poor performance in sketching could only give up in frustration, but it was not a pity. After all, it was just a competition within a department. The form was greater than the content. It was more about Tiandu University wanting to show the outside world that it was a first-class university with a hundred flowers blooming. That’s all.

Luoyang's sketch score was 90 points, so he was naturally selected.

After being selected, Teacher Zhang said with a smile: "Those of you participating in the competition should prepare well and tell me the type of comics you want to draw tomorrow."

Several people in Luoyang nodded in agreement.

When I got home from school in the evening, Luoyang found Hua Qi.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Hua Qi asked.

Luoyang nodded, and then said: "Buy me some things, I told you to remember them, pencils, erasers, gouache, dip pen holder and nib, ink, white paint, ruler, and..."

"Boss, let me interrupt, um, if you buy these things, do you want to draw comics?"

Luoyang was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I bought these just to draw comics."

"Then why don't you just tell me about the tools for drawing comics..." Hua Qi complained, and then seeing her boss looking embarrassed, she said calmly: "I'll buy it right now. Besides, boss, you're just doing it for fun, right?" ?”

"Yes, I'm just painting for fun." It's just a competition in the department, and it's purely for Luoyang to get a ranking and get some credits.

"Okay." Hua Qi breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her boss would suddenly have a whim and say that she wanted to enter the Dragon Kingdom comics industry.

————————

When Hua Qi bought all the tools, Luoyang decided on the comic he wanted to draw. The name of this comic was... "Five Centimeters per Second"!

"5 Centimeters per Second" is an animated film that caused a huge sensation once it was released in its previous life, creating an unprecedented revenue record and having a huge influence.

It tells the story in a fairy tale-like and beautiful way, which is very touching. Moreover, according to the school's requirements for the comic contest, Luoyang can only draw short and medium-sized comics. Those classic long stories in the previous life are obviously not suitable, so Luoyang feels that it is more beautiful. "Wu Li Temple in a Second" is more suitable for participating in this kind of on-campus competition.

The style of "Five Centimeters Per Second" is suitable for college campuses, and it would be a perfect pure love if adapted into a novel, so Luoyang decided that it would be it.

However, the painting "Five Centimeters per Second" must not be a completely mindless copy of the original version of the previous life, especially the historical background.

In addition to the love factor in "5 Centimeters Per Second", its historical background is also of great importance. The comic shows the changes in Tokyo, Japan and other regions through the life of the male protagonist, with a long time span and a strong sense of substitution.

It would definitely not be appropriate to move here directly, because Luoyang itself is from the Dragon Kingdom, not an island country, so Luoyang needs to reconstruct its background to make it suitable for the current society.

This made Luoyang find it difficult, because the background reconstruction meant that many scenes in the original work needed to be reconstructed by himself.

Moreover, it is difficult for the comics themselves to reflect the beauty of animation, so he has to draw very well to attract people. Fortunately, the story and lines can be basically preserved, which gives Luoyang a sense of comfort when he feels that he is facing many difficulties.

In addition, the name of the comic "Five Centimeters Per Second" comes from the falling speed of cherry blossoms per second. Luoyang originally wanted to use other flowers to replace the cherry blossoms, but this may be due to preconceptions. It seems that cherry blossoms are more in line with the artistic conception of the comic. , Besides, there are cherry blossoms in Dragon Kingdom, so it makes sense.

After everything was prepared, Luoyang started painting with the brush Hua Qi bought.

That heaven-defying memory came into play again, and Luoyang easily drew Guishu, the male protagonist of "Five Centimeters Per Second".

"Pfft." Hua Qi, who had been paying attention to Luoyang's painting, couldn't help but laugh: "Bai Da, I think your character painting is too ordinary. You can pick it up easily."

Luoyang Wan'er, Xin Haicheng, the author of "Five Centimeters Per Second" in his previous life, was often criticized for being a scumbag, which meant that his character was a scumbag.

Unexpectedly, he drew the character in his memory, but was laughed at by Hua Qi. However, Luoyang had no interest in improving, so he just used this character. Anyway, the quality of the comic itself was already very good.

Just moving the brush carelessly, Luoyang continued to paint...

Hua Qi's smile gradually stopped, her eyes widened slightly, and she suddenly realized something extraordinary.

"Bai Da! I also know something about cartoonists. You, this, this... you are going so smoothly. No matter how you draw comics, you always need to reconsider the storyboard. Why don't you even think about the storyboard?" Hua Seven's voice was full of shock.

The so-called storyboard is a term for comics. The layout of the comic must be designed on paper, and then the original draft can be drawn according to the layout. This process is like formulating a draft and structure.

Hua Qi was shocked that Luoyang could draw the original manuscript without storyboards, as if he had already known it, and the drawing speed was incredibly fast.

Hua Qi has a friend who is a cartoonist, so he naturally understands some common sense of cartoonists. He has never heard of anyone who can go directly to the original manuscript without making a draft or drawing a storyboard, but this boss of his own has done it in real life!

Luoyang smiled. Actually, he couldn't explain the reason for this situation.

Just like a novel, he could write the classic works of his previous life word for word. Similarly, the comics were the same. Before drawing the comics, every scene of the comics had appeared in his mind. Now, as long as he drew it according to the scene in his head, everything would be fine.

As for the reason of this matter, Luoyang has always been too lazy to think about it, because there are more things he can't figure out, such as why he traveled through time, why Liu Qin also traveled through time, and the most annoying thing is why his good friend turned into a girl -

Well, don't think about it. Thinking too much will waste your energy, and the whole person will become bad.

So Luoyang didn't explain to Hua Qi, but just pretended to be indifferent and said: "There must be geniuses in this world to amaze time, otherwise without the background of legends, all mediocrity will become natural."

When saying this, Luoyang had already admitted in his heart that he was pretending.

However, Hua Qi's eyes were already filled with admiration: "Boss, boss, you are awesome, I finally understand why Sister Amber said you are not human."

Puff...

Luoyang almost choked on his own saliva: "She said that about me, she said that about me? Saying I am not human? What a rebellion!"

Luoyang was very angry. It seemed that his former assistant was very cunning. He did not forget to use tricks on her after leaving him. This was an unforgivable sin.
