Gotta Go the Healing Route

Uemura Aster reacted, picked up the tissue paper on the coffee table and began to wipe the coffee table.Kazama Xi didn't say a word and took out a few pieces of paper to help wipe it.

"Excuse me."

Sitting back on the seat again, Uemura Ziwan coughed a few times in embarrassment and said.

This isn't a surprise, it's a fright at all!

Now the word freedom has become a sensitive word for Aster Uemura.Not only her, but actually, those fans of Kazama Xi, and jump's editorial department are also extremely sensitive to the word 'freedom'.

This all stems from the sequelae of Kazama Yushang's two comics, "Chain Saw Man" and "Flame Fist".

According to Aster Uemura, while drawing "The Chainsaw Man", Yu Kazama had a lot of fun, but as an editor, she was worried all day long.

Because she can't control it.

What is editing to a manga writer?Of course, it is the first reader, who gives the comic author the most direct feedback.In addition, the editor also acts as a mentor, giving comments to the author's work.It is for this reason that those experienced editors are so popular in this line.

And the comic "Chain Saw Man" is definitely a nightmare for any editor.

It can be said that the work has carried out the anti-routine to the extreme, and it is precisely because of this that the so-called experience of the editor is completely useless.

The review of "The Chainsaw Man" can only be based on feeling.Uemura Ziwan has no idea whether this statement will work or not, and what will happen if it is released.

In short, at the later stage of the serialization of "Chain Saw Man", Aster Uemura felt like a safety officer in the third season of the driving test department.

Although sitting on the co-pilot, the operator on the main driver couldn't command at all.

The auxiliary brake on the original co-pilot has also failed... No, not only the co-pilot, it can be said that the car in "Chain Saw Man" has no brakes at all.

A car traveling at a speed of [-] yards on the road without brakes, no one knows whether the car will hit something in the next moment and crash the car.

Fortunately, Kazama Xi finally managed to control the runaway car, reached the finish line, and stopped safely.

Siwan Uemura, who was sitting on the co-pilot, breathed a sigh of relief, but when she turned around, she found that her whole body had gone limp.She vowed never to be the passenger in a car like this again.

But just when she was about to unbuckle her seat belt and get out of the car, she suddenly found that the door was locked again.

The teenager beside him showed a warm smile to him:

"Sister Ziwan, let's run again."

"Still running this 'free' section."

Uemura Ziwan, who was thinking wildly, was taken aback by the boy's words, and regained consciousness.

I was still sitting on the sofa in the conference room, but I found that my forehead was already sweating unknowingly.

no...

Absolutely can't let this happen again!

"Mr. Xi..."

Thinking of this, Uemura Ziwan showed determination on her face.

But when she turned her head to look at Kazama Yuki, Uemura Ziwan's expression turned into a pitiful look again.

"Mr. Xi, Sister Ziwan treats you well on weekdays, right?"

"You don't want to mess with me..."

Although the editor has the function of influencing the author's creation, for example, if he is not satisfied with a plot, the editor can ask the author to modify it.

But this kind of function is obviously not suitable for Kaze Jianxi.

First of all, Kazama Xi is a very assertive person. Generally speaking, she will not be so easily influenced by others.Not to mention, this still involves the theme of the work.

The second is that for cartoonists like Kazama Xi, most of the voice in creation is in the hands of the author, and the editor only has the right to make suggestions.

The work "Chain Saw Man" is very scary for Aster Uemura.But those bosses in the editorial department who only look at the results don't think so.

This kind of neurotic freelance work has surprisingly good results. If Kazama Yuki wants to continue this style, the editor-in-chief Atsushi Itakura will not object.

In short, if Yu Kazama made up her mind to continue taking the free route, she Uemura Ziwan would have to stay in the co-pilot no matter how scared she was, and watch Xi Kazama complete the journey.

Looking at Kazama Xi in front of her, Uemura Ziwan felt a trace of resentment in her heart.

'Why did Mr. Xi become what he is now? He was originally a well-behaved rigorous author. '

Whether it is a dead pen or a magic circle, the plot design of the story is extremely rigorous, and it has nothing to do with letting yourself go.

Uemura Aster's appearance also made Kazama Xi a little ashamed.

It seems that my editor is also suffering from Fujimoto's mental illness.

Now that I think about it, the editor in my previous life tree can indulge Fujimoto's self-indulgence, so I think he is not an ordinary person.

"Stop being cute."

Kazama Xi sighed.

"It's not what you think, Sister Ziwan."

"By 'freedom' I mean the theme of the story itself, not the creative act of thinking."

Uemura Ziwan was taken aback by Kazama Xi's words.

"Really?"

"real..."

"you promise?"

"I promise..." Kazama Xi said slowly: "Do you want me to write you a letter?"

"That's not necessary."

Uemura Aster returned to her previous appearance, carefully looked at Kazama Xi's face, and then she relaxed a little.From the looks of it, what Kazama Xi said was true.

"Let's get back to the topic..."

Kazama Xi took the initiative to bring the topic back on track.

The next work to be copied in this different time and space is "Attack on Titan".

Leaving aside the crooked author's ass and the criticizing ending, if we only talk about the historical achievements of this comic, Jin Ju is undoubtedly a classic.

截止至2019年12月25日，漫画单行本累计全球发行量突破1亿册。当年更是差点超过了20年只败两次的海贼 撼动了日漫圈子。

Of course, the most important thing is that it has successfully broken through the circle of anime, and the release of animation has really made many people who have never watched anime know about it, and because of it, they fell into the pit.

For long-form comics that continue the style, Attack on Titan is one of the best choices.

Until Diming, this manga was one of Yu Kazama's favorite manga in his previous life.

Yu Kazama briefly talked about the setting and framework of Attack on Titan with Aster Uemura.

"Is it the story of a boy trapped in a high wall who drives out giants and seeks freedom?"

After listening to Kazama Yuki's narration, Uemura Ziwan was completely relieved.

From the framework of the main body of the story, it can be inferred what style of comic this is.At least after listening to Kazama Yuki's earlier story, Uemura Aster thinks this is a serious manga that tends to be serious.

"In terms of genre...Xi-kun, are you going to draw a full-length novel?" Ziwan Uemura asked.

"Is it kingly?" Kazama Xi thought for a while and then nodded.

"The same can be said"

In fact, entering the 21st century, the themes serialized in juvenile manga magazines are increasingly biased towards youth-oriented manga.

The first half of Giant actually seems to be just a juvenile manga with relatively novel and slightly weird themes, but in the later period, it is more and more emphatic to reflect "other elements".

It is not accurate to say that it is the kingly way or the evil way. It is more appropriate to say that it is a long youth manga that combines the two.

"The old rules of serialization, the first three chapters must be drawn first."

Once the idea and theme are settled, this new serial meeting can be concluded.At the end, Aster Uemura exhorted Kazama Xi.

"Of course, it should be finished by early June."

"Well, in that case, at the end of June, your "Attack on Titan" can be serialized without accident."

During the chat just now, Aster Uemura also knew the name of the new work Yu Kazama was about to write.

ps: The ending of the giant will be changed.Before the ending is unfinished, the story of the giant is still very good.

Originally, I wanted to write Legend of Sword Wind.But many people haven't read Jianfeng, and I don't plan to write the original plot in detail for this part of the text. In addition, Jianfeng has no ending, so I chose giants.

A long novel like Dead Sea of ​​Fire is not suitable for the creative style of the protagonist of this work. The style of JOJO’s writing deviates greatly from the protagonist’s.

Let me explain here.

Chapter 280 Four Painting Style Problems

After confirming with Aster Uemura that Giant will be the new work, Xi Kazama began to prepare the first three chapters for the serial meeting.

Kazama Yuki has already agreed with Uemura Ziwan that the first three chapters will be handed over to the editorial department in early June.It's mid-May now, and we're only half a month away from June.In the first three chapters of the giant, Xi Kazama did not intend to involve the assistants of the studio, but he completed it alone, so there is still a lot of work.

Moreover, he doesn't plan to copy the attacking giant mindlessly.In order to be perfectly placed in this different time and space, modifications and adjustments are required in many aspects.

The first is the style of painting.

Copying the text, copying the text, actually copying the essence of the original story.The essence of the story can be copied, but the carrier of the story should be adjusted appropriately according to the current situation.

This is especially important in comics.

The style of painting is like a personal business card for cartoonists.

A new work by a famous author is given to readers to read in advance. Even if the name of the author is not told to readers, readers have a high probability of being able to identify who painted it by virtue of the style of painting.

Especially for authors with a strong personal style and strong recognizability, readers will never mistake the works of such authors.

With the help of Goldfinger, Kazama Xi's current painting style can be regarded as stabilized.

The classic Japanese manga style is combined with a tough and textured fine style like Takeru Obata.

The same is true for Death Note, the same for Chainsaw Man and Yan Fist... In short, in terms of general painting style, Kazama Xi tries to highlight this homogeneous style as much as possible.

If you don’t do this, the four comics that Yu Kazama has produced now show four different painting styles, which will always look very abrupt and difficult to explain to editors and readers.

Of course, in these comics, the magic circle is an exception.The characters of the magic circle tend to be cute cartoon characters.The unique small round face is also very recognizable in terms of recognition. Compared with the painting style of Feng Jianxi's other works, it is not insignificant.

However, it is understandable for Kazama Xi to do so.After all, the creative idea of ​​the magic circle is full of the saying that the painting style is fraudulent.On the contrary, the cute style of painting is one of the indispensable elements of Moyuan, and this cannot be changed in the evening.

Furthermore, although there are few cartoonists who master two different styles of painting, they still exist.It’s okay if the painting style of the work is only different in the magic circle step.
