Chapter 65 World-Class Genius

"Didi dididi——"

The beeping sound of the electronic lock button for entering the apartment was like an electronic alarm clock, waking up Mashiro who was squatting next to the entrance and huddled in a ball. He rubbed his eyes and stood up.

So when Shuichi Iura opened the door to the apartment, the first thing he saw was Mashiro standing silently in front of the entrance, looking at him with those still a little worried eyes.

To be honest, I was a little scared when I saw the person when I walked in.

However, Iura Hide was only slightly startled before he noticed the faint glimmer of expectation in Mashiro's eyes, and he immediately understood what she was thinking.

"Okay." Iura Hide felt a little strange, but it was more of an indescribable emotion, which made the corners of his mouth slightly raise, and he unconsciously revealed a soft smile.

"Tadayi!"

"Oh kaaaa!"

The dialogue is completely inappropriate for use here, but it somehow makes the air seem to turn into a warm color.

At this moment, Iura Hide felt as if he was hallucinating, because he seemed to see Mashiro smiling!

But before he could see it clearly, Mashiro had already grabbed his hand and led him towards the room. Judging from his eager look, it was obvious that he had drawn yesterday's scene and wanted to show it to him.

However, what he didn't expect was that what Mashiro painted was not one painting, but two.

One of them was the scene where a train passed by yesterday and cherry blossoms were flying. According to the plot scene he described, Mashiro added the part where Kaoru is carrying a violin case and running wildly as if chasing a train.

The other picture shows Kaoru standing in the park playing music with three children, while Mr. Arima peeking up at him silently.

Most importantly, both scenes are in color.

More importantly, these two color pages are almost 90% as good as Makoto Shinkai's works in "Your Name" and "Weathering With You"!

Iura Hide couldn't help but opened his mouth wide and stared at the computer screen in front of him in shock. He unconsciously remembered that when he came back yesterday, Mashiro asked him in the car what kind of animation should be used for "April" style of.

Although the style of the original "April" is already very good, as we all know, Makoto Shinkai's style is the pinnacle of neon love anime.

So after thinking about it for a while, he gave a clear and general answer: "The scene should be as realistic as possible, the color levels should be extremely rich, and the coloring should be as vivid and bright as possible."

It is easy to understand and implement the scene as realistically as possible.

But what constitutes rich color levels? What kind of coloring can be considered vivid and bright?

I have never seen Shinkai Makoto's painting style with my own eyes, so I just relied on these two specious descriptions. Anyway, Iura Hide felt that even if he learned how to draw and reached the level of a professional cartoonist, it would be difficult to figure it out.

Even after Xin Haicheng became famous, so many people looked at his works and imitated his painting style, but they still couldn't reach his skill.

But Mashiro showed a painting style comparable to Shinkai Seikyu's success with just such a sentence. This is really incredible.

Note that it is the ninth success of "Your Name" and "Weathering with You". In horizontal comparison, it has even surpassed the level of "The Garden of Words" and "Five Centimeters Per Second"!

Now, he finally knew what a 'world-class painting genius' meant.

This talent and strength are simply unreasonable!

"Isn't it bad?"

Seeing that he had been staring at him for a long time without speaking, Mashiro couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

This made the shocked Iura Hide finally come to his senses and shook his head vigorously, his eyes filled with excitement.

"No! Very good! Very good! Mashiro, you are so awesome! You were so awesome that it scared me!"

Mashiro was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Iura Hide's reaction to be so exaggerated.

"Can that be used in the comic version of "April"?" "Of course!" Iura Hide originally wanted to say this.

However, as he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and stopped.

Of course there is no problem with using illustrations of this quality in the light novel version of "April", and it is even more than sufficient as a cover.

But the problem is that this world has never seen a painting style like Makoto Shinkai's, and Mashiro is the first of its kind.

So, is it okay to be exposed just for a few illustrations?

God knows if there are other world-class painting geniuses in this comic book world. What if they are imitated?

What if that person first used this style of painting in his own comics or animation works?

In addition to this problem, there is another problem with using this style of painting, and that is speed.

The time required to draw such a scene in Makoto Shinkai's style is at least dozens of times longer than drawing a page of shojo manga.

Just looking at Mashiro's still a little confused look, it's clear that she stayed up very late last night to paint these two scenes.

It is no exaggeration to say that if someone wanted to paint "April" with this kind of quality, not to mention one episode a week, one episode a month would be enough.

Of course, he could also choose to only use illustrations of this quality in the novel version, while the comic version would still use the original style and quality.

But will this raise readers' expectations and affect the word-of-mouth sales of the later "April" comic version?

Thinking of this, he already knew how to choose.

"I'm afraid not."

"Why?" Mashiro turned his head and looked at him, his eyes as clean as rubies showing doubts.

Iura Hide looked at these eyes, not wanting to let his dark philistineness contaminate them, so he could only find a seemingly high-sounding reason.

"Because it's inappropriate."

"Appropriateness is the best. Just like the Mona Lisa, no matter how well it is drawn, it will look out of place in comics or animations."

"There are many funny plots in "April", such as when Xiaochun knocked the baseball out of the field and was scolded by his teammates when he broke the glass."

"For another example, Arima Kousei was hit by a flying baseball and fell to the ground, bleeding from his forehead."

"And Tsubaki angrily scolded Mr. Arima for being too dark, etc."

"In my vision, these should all use the exaggerated style of funny cartoons, with a little Q version."

"The style of painting you are painting now is more realistic, which is quite separate from the funny Q-print style."

If it were anyone else, there would most likely be something wrong. After all, it was clearly Iura Hide himself who said yesterday that he wanted to be realistic.

But Mashiro obviously didn't think much about it, and didn't understand what colorful black was, so he was easily fooled.

This made Iura Hide secretly sigh in relief.

"Of course, this lively and richly layered coloring method can be retained and used in color pages of novels and comics, as well as animation production."

Iura Hide added another sentence.

This made Mashiro's eyes suddenly flash with a look of understanding.

Now she knows how to draw!
