Chapter 240 0240, Annual Ticket War (2)
Only then did Yun Feng remember that last time he asked Yun Lin to use "Captain: Elementary School" as a comic blueprint and try to draw a picture.
So, he reached out and took the tablet.
One glance at the first cartoon, with eyes as bright as an eagle's eye, one has already discovered the shortcomings of each cartoon.
Ordinary people or amateur comics fans may not be able to see it, but in Yunfeng's eyes, these shortcomings are naturally magnified countless times.
This is due to the [Skill Comic: Outstanding among the Crowd·Professional Level] rewarded by the system, as well as the painting of "Feng Yun I" with over 2000P in the past year. His painting skills have already reached the level of proficiency.
Isn't it easy to find problems in comics drawn by a beginner?
Yunfeng finished reading the 5P comic drawn by Yun Lin, looked up at him, and asked, "What is the storyboard?"
Yun Lin said without hesitation: "Storyboarding is to edit the sequence of a story, the angle of observation, the relationship between things/items, rhythm and emotion, virtuality and reality into pictures."
"You have done your homework, good." Yunfeng smiled happily, then his expression became serious again, and said: "The possibilities of storyboards are ever-changing. It is a good start for novices to learn and imitate the storyboards of a mature comic author. Method, but what you draw is a sports comic, while what you study and imitate is a martial arts comic. The two emphases in the storyboard are different..."
Yun Lin listened very carefully. These knowledge points were not included in the several comic textbooks he bought.
Yunfeng said eloquently: "The simplest rule of comic storyboarding is nothing more than four points, continuity, rhythm, emotion, drama..."
Yun Lin woke up from a dream and looked back at the storyboards of the 5P comic he had drawn. He could only describe it in four words - what the hell!
However……
The trial was not over yet. Yunfeng said calmly: "Also, not every comic needs to write lines. Remember, highlighting the key points and being detailed is a very important principle in creation. Draw storyboards. When reading, don’t be limited to the composition of single-frame comics, but always look at the entire page. Is the distribution of lines on this page too scattered, concentrated, or too many? And too many lines will make the comic look like a novel.”
Yun Lin smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother, I understand." He thought he was good at painting before, but it turned out to be nothing.
Yunfeng smiled slightly and said: "Actually, you have been learning painting for less than half a year, and you are already very good at drawing to this level, such as the character's image design, the character's expression and movement, and the background of each comic strip. They are all painted very well, and you can see that they have put a lot of thought into them. ”
Yun Lin scratched his head, embarrassed by the praise, and said with a naive smile: "Thank you, brother."
Next to them, Zhang Xiufang and Yunshan had been listening to the conversation of the two brothers.
They will not interfere with their children's choices for the future, but they will not prevent them from being curious and understanding.
This is not...
Zhang Xiufang couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Xiaofeng, does Xiaolin really have a talent for painting?"
Yunfeng curled his lips, patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and answered his mother's question: "Mom, my little brother will definitely become an outstanding painter in the future."
Yun Lin said hurriedly: "Brother, I just want to create comics that people like like you."
Hearing this, Yun Feng raised his hand and gave him a gentle blow on the head, laughing and scolding: "Look at your potential."
Yun Lin laughed innocently and did not answer.
Zhang Xiufang, Yunshan, and Yunyun all laughed when they saw this.
The family was talking, laughing, and enjoying themselves.
at the same time.
The annual voting for readers' popularity of various novels and comics journals has also begun.
There were no surprises on the novelist side. Yunfeng firmly ranked first, with more than 500,000 votes surpassing second place.
but……
The competition among comic book writers is extremely fierce, with only about 10,000 votes separating the top five.
The current number one is Yunfeng, because it has the two most popular and popular comics "Wind and Cloud I" and "Slam Dunk".
Fang Yan, a comic writer under Penguin Comics, temporarily ranked second with the comic "The Top of the Immortal".
The third to fifth places are all studios and teams, namely Silver Charm Studio under Penguin Comics Network, Feiyu Team under Comics DreamWorks, and Aurora Studio under Qvod Comics Network.
A trophy and the title of "Comic Master" may seem useless, but this is the only comic award in China.
As long as you get it, whether people in the industry admit it or not, in the eyes of comic fans, you will be number one in the domestic comics industry.
Therefore, whether it is an individual comic writer, a studio, or a team, they are all trying their best to attract votes.
This involves another issue of "fairness".
Because of the popularity of "Feng Yun I", a number of good martial arts comics have emerged, successfully attracting many new comic fans, many of whom choose to buy online.
And for this award, only those who purchased the periodicals offline can vote to participate in the selection. For some comics, the sales of offline periodicals are not good, but many people buy them online. In this way, the issue of "fairness" is amplified. .
Although the organizer has made an announcement that starting from the first quarter of this year, tickets will be available whether you buy comics online or buy periodicals offline. However, there are still a small number of comic fans who leave comments under the official micro circle. Posted a message calling for the cancellation of this annual vote.
However, this award has been held for ten consecutive years and will not be stopped just because of the doubts and objections of a few people.
Yunfeng doesn’t care much about winning the award, but that doesn’t mean he won’t fight for it.
It happened that he had nothing to do these few days, so he used the popular characters in the two comics "Feng Yun I" and "Slam Dunk" to draw a few interesting posters asking for votes, and posted them on his WeChat circle and the Youxianqi FM website.
Fans also commented on this novel way of asking for votes.
"Are you threatening us? Nie Feng is begging for votes with a 40-meter-long sword."
"I am dying of laughter. Bu Jingyun is holding 'Chao Yun Mu Yu' in his arms and shouting 'Don't come over' to Fang Yan, Yin Mei, Fei Yu and Ji Guang who are standing behind him."
"When it comes to imagination, it has to be you. What Xian Dao caught is votes..."
"It's over, it's over, Sakuragi and Rukawa are both hooking shoulders and backs. This is the rhythm of getting gay if you don't vote!"
"This Q version of the five tigers of Xiangbei University is so cute. I must vote for you."
...
Begging for votes can't just be one or two sentences. That's so pale and powerless. It has to be innovative to mobilize their enthusiasm for voting.
"Crazy, your trick is amazing." Wang Defa looked at it and gave Yunfeng a thumbs up. He said with a smile on his face: "The votes increased by 150,000 in one day, and the gap with the second place was pulled away immediately."
As long as it is not malicious vote swiping and buying, such canvassing behavior is within the scope allowed by the rules.
Yunfeng said seriously: "The main reason for doing this is to sell."
Wang Defa was slightly startled, then laughed: "Haha, honest enough."
This can indeed attract some fans to buy journals offline, but this is just a joke, mainly to remind those fans who bought journals offline but have no habit of voting.
Of course, this also reminded other competitors, and they all followed suit and put out posters asking for votes.
In the next few days, Yunfeng was still the first, and the number of votes was always 100,000 away from the second.
It was the last day of voting.
In the morning, everything was calm as usual.
But just after twelve o'clock, the ranking list changed.
Fang Yan, who had been in second place, continued to get more votes. Two hours later, he surpassed Yunfeng and topped the list.
(PS: Based on everyone's suggestions, I changed some of the place names in the front to make it more fluent. Zhouhang was changed to Hangcheng, and Jingbei was changed to Yanjing. I will use this in the future.)
