Gotta Go the Healing Route

Because this painting uses space and visual distance to bring a great sense of tension, and it is supplemented by color difference to adjust the atmosphere, which shows that this is a story with a serious narrative orientation.

Beyond the cover, Aster Uemura continued to read.The scene changes to being in the forest.

A group of people in cloaks were galloping through the forest on horseback. During the conversation, these people seemed to be hunting for something.The target of hunting also appeared next, and a burly and huge figure appeared in the depths of the forest.

Also giant.

At this point, the enemy is very clear, just like the name of this new work.The enemies in the comics are giants, and the building of such a towering city wall is to stop giants.

The scene was switched again, and this time it returned to the high wall at the beginning, and the story officially began.

The male protagonist Allen woke up from his sleep and prepared to go home with his partner Mikasa. Then, a picture of the city was displayed.

Of course, it is not a completely meaningless daily painting. During the dialogue between the characters, the setting is slowly revealed.

What can be known is that human beings are indeed trapped in the city, and the outside has been occupied by giants.The protagonist Allen obviously cannot accept such a status quo.

The protagonist arranged by Kazama Xi this time is very 'normal', a hot-blooded idiot who is often stunned and green in Wang Dao's hot blood manga.

In the dialogue between Allen and the gatekeepers, the setting term called 'Survey Corps' was introduced.

Uemura Aster immediately thought of what he saw before, the group of people riding horses and confronting giants.

Sure enough, the next 'Survey Corps' debut.

However, he returned to the city in a dejected and extremely miserable way.

The Survey Corps... fiasco.

The enemy is incomparably strong, but one's own side is pitifully weak.

Although Kazama Xi told her before that this is a juvenile manga, compared with the relaxed atmosphere of the royal blood, this atmosphere is obviously heavier.

However, the subject matter is quite new.

Human beings guarding the city, and giants as enemies.

Judging from the previous battles of the survey corps, it basically has nothing to do with magical abilities, that is to say, it is really relying on the strength of human beings to fight to the death.This kind of realistic creation is quite in line with Kazama Xi's style.

In fact, comics and web articles have similarities in some aspects of story creation, such as the famous three golden chapters.

Whether a novel can retain readers depends on the first three chapters.Therefore, these three chapters must be able to show enough touching things.

As for comics, in the face of the evil system of cutting in half, it is inevitable and necessary for a comic to unfold a sufficiently exciting story during the novice protection period.

As for how to do this, it is nothing more than choosing one of the two elements, or taking both.

These two elements are: contradiction... and setting.

PS: I am honored to be able to communicate with you through this book, but due to time constraints, some helpless things have happened recently. This should be the last two days for me to update this book this year, thank you all.

Chapter 280 Contradictions and Settings

To keep readers, what the author has to do is to make readers desire to read.

Regardless of the hardware strength, the author's reputation of the painting style and painting technology is not mentioned.Just looking at the comic story itself, it is the setting and contradiction that stimulate readers' early reading desire.

The first is the setting, which is like a product displayed in front of customers. Leaving aside the actual hands-on experience, what customers look at before buying is undoubtedly the parameters and functions of the product displayed in writing.Regardless of whether other functions are useful or not, it is always possible to attract customers through written expression.

If you compare comics to commodities, there is no doubt that sufficiently novel and interesting settings are one of the important factors that determine whether customers are willing to buy commodities.

Crested pig belly and leopard tail. An example of the setting that stands out among the crested is "Death Note".

Dead pen is a typical type of comics that use settings to attract readers at the beginning.

The brain hole of Death Note itself is big enough, and adding this obvious setting of ghosts and ghosts to realistic suspense and wit-fighting works can be regarded as a stroke of genius, which meets the conditions of novelty and fun.

In addition, there are many other settings, such as the famous system settings.Ninja Reaper, Demon Hunter, etc., attract readers by constructing a novel system.

Then there is the contradiction.

In fact, contradictions do not only reflect the beginning of the story. It can be said that a work with a high degree of completion has various contradictions throughout.

But there is one thing that is really important: the conflicts that unfold at the beginning of the story must be extremely intense: such as life-and-death crisis, disillusioned ideals, and humiliation of personality.

However, as far as contradictions are concerned, the best ones should be regarded as Tianchao Wangwen.For things like divorce, rebirth and revenge, comics are indeed not as direct as text when it comes to inciting conflicts.

This can be regarded as the basic theory of story creation. I have had creative experience, and it is not too difficult to embody these two points at the beginning.That is to say, the setting is more brain-intensive.

It is really not difficult to embody the two, the difficulty is actually to combine the two to complement each other.

Examples of the combination of setting and contradiction are still dead pen.

As the pillar of the island nation's evil way at that time, the dead pen was regarded as an epoch-making work to some extent, and there is a reason for it.

Not only is the setting of the dead pen wonderful, but even the contradiction that promotes the main line of the story is firmly developed around this setting: the confrontation between Ye Shenyue and L can be regarded as a ghost from a narrow perspective The confrontation of strength and human intelligence.

In short, if both of these two points can be achieved, and the two can be combined with each other, such a work will definitely not be bad in the early stage.

At least there is absolutely no problem with signing and serializing. If a knowledgeable editor sees the potential of the work, there is a high probability that he will focus on cultivating this author.

Of course, it doesn't mean that if the work wants to be successful, it must abide by these two rules in the early stage.

Among the works copied by Kazama Xiwen, the magic circle is outside this situation.

In terms of setting, the setting of the magic circle is a layer-by-layer disclosure. In the early stage, without the knowledge of the readers, what they saw was the outdated ordinary magical girl setting.

If it is contradictory... Can you expect Zigong to have a fierce conflict with a magical girl.What the magic circle shows in the early stage is completely ordinary girls' daily life.

However, this kind of game can only be played by big guys.

Like Kazama Yuki's previous life, Moyuan's first three episodes were not too bad, and the audience's expectations were still maintained. Most of this was due to "Urobuchi Gen", "New House Akiyuki", and "Kajiura Yuki" Three names hold on.Everyone knows that the works jointly produced by these three big guys will definitely not be bad.

Dare to take out the magic circle in this different time and space Kazama Xi was also based on the dead pen of the previous work, carrying the heat of the previous work.

And you must know that Atsushi Itakura, who was the deputy editor at the time, was extremely pessimistic about Yu Kazama's "new work", and even wanted to kill the magic circle at the serialization meeting. Even Aster Uemura was very pessimistic. manner.Fortunately, Kitaoka Akira stood up to Kazama Xi at that time.And then....it can only be said to be really fragrant.

In short, with this kind of creative thinking, ordinary creation must not be played like this.Otherwise, the serialization meeting would not be passed.

Closer to home, in Uemura Ziwan's eyes, Kazama Yuki's new work is obviously not the kind of magic circle.

The setting and contradictions are reflected at the beginning of the comics.

The setting of enemies such as giants is very novel, and the background of humans besieging the city is also curious.Moreover, the way humans fight, as described in the screen just now, is to move by a device similar to a steel cable.

As for the contradiction... there is no doubt that it is the contradiction between giants and humans that is related to survival, and the setting and contradiction are combined here.

Uemura Aster continued watching like this.

The story doesn't stop after revealing the conflict between giants and humans.

Soon, the picture shown on the cover appeared in the follow-up content.

After a while of shaking, a super-large giant appeared, and kicked down the tall city wall of human's incomparable confidence.

Through the hole opened by the super giant, countless ordinary giants poured into the city and started killing.

At the same time, the narration reappeared: Human beings recalled the fear of being dominated that day.

The contradiction escalated at the end, leaving a foreshadowing at the same time.

If the previous contradictions were only about giants putting humans in trouble, what is shown here is the contradiction of life and death.

After the city is broken, what kind of fate the human beings in the city will encounter is what readers want to know.

And that's how anticipation is created.

Chapter 280 IX Work Transformation

Although this new work presents only the stories of these three episodes, for manga editors, this itself is a process of testing experience and eyesight.

Although she had finished reading the drawing in her hand, Ziwan Uemura did not put it down for a long time, and an inexplicable sense of excitement lingered in her heart.

It's not that I have any opinions on the short and medium-length comics, but the industry's opinion is that the long-form is the most test of the author's story creation ability.

Even though Kazama Yuki is now a top-notch manga artist, authors at his level are basically dominated by long-form manga, which is a minor flaw.Although Yu Kazama himself didn't care, but Aster Uemura, who was the editor of Xi Kazama, still refused to admit defeat.

When Yu Kazama told her that the new work was a full-length novel, Aster Uemura was also very excited at the time.

And after watching the first three episodes of this new work, Uemura Ziwan can vaguely feel that something big is coming.

Of course, the review of the editor's side passed directly, and Ziwan Uemura rushed to the editorial department with the drawing early the next morning.

Today's boy jump head manga artists like Kazama Yu are important pillars of Shueisha.As the leader of the new generation of cartoonists, he is now considered the No.1 author of evil-doing comics. Of course, the editorial department of Boy Jump can't wait to hold Xi Kazama tightly in his hands.

It was also serialized in Youth Jump, the sister magazine of Shonen Jump, when Kazama Night Shuang was opened before.Although the probability is very small, Atsushi Itakura, the current editor-in-chief of Boy Jump, is also afraid that Kazama Yuki will shift his creative position. After all, the style of Youth Jump is indeed closer to that of Kazama Yuki.

Although in terms of popularity and circulation, Youth Jump, which was newly launched last year, is still not comparable to Shonen Jump, but the relationship between Kitaoka Kounari and Kazama Yuki cannot be stopped.At that time, Itakura Atsuya also found his old boss in private.But this is because he is judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Kitaoka Akira has no intention of poaching the wall at all.

Itakura Atsuya was completely relieved when he found out through Uemura Ziwan that his new work by Daliang was still on the Shonen Jump magazine.Don't worry, don't worry, but he hasn't lost one bit of Feng Jianxi's attention.Specially told Aster Uemura to give him the first three episodes of Kazama Yuki's new work for the serial meeting.

Therefore, Aster Uemura got the drawing, and after returning to the editorial department the next day, the drawing of the new work was placed on Atsuya Itakura's desk.

After reading the drawing, Itakura Atsuya immediately called Kazama Xi.

When receiving a call from Atsuya Itakura, Yu Kazama was just arranging the work of the assistants.If everything goes well, "Attack on Titan" will be serialized at the end of the month.It never hurts to do your homework first.

Itakura Atsushi also called, naturally because of the new work.I just said that these three episodes of comics are very good, and I can pass the serialization meeting at the end of the month and so on.After the serialization was finished, the topic turned to the details of the new work.

Although Yu Kazama handed over the drawing to Aster Uemura last night, Yu Kazama did not say anything about the details and direction of the giant.

"First of all, Kazama-san, are you planning to draw a novel..."

This is something that has been settled.

"Long story king?"

Looking at the manuscript in his hand, Itakura Atsushi also asked on the other end of the phone.

"Well, it's almost kingly."

The difference between the evil way and the kingly way has also been said before.

Generally speaking, the evil way is to take the slant of the sword, and it will contain some dark sides. There may be crimes, horrors, violence, etc., and the protagonist will not be a little white rabbit.Because of the addition of "evil", it is very convenient to discuss human nature, and it is easy to make comics with more connotations, so the audience is not so kingly.

And Wang Daoman is Wei Guangzheng, the theme is positive, the protagonist is kind and pure, the plot is generally a hero fighting the devil, and then the righteous side wins, there is an innocent heroine, there are gay friends and happy friends, the main theme is love and justice, and the realization of ideals Wait, wide audience.

That's why when Kazama Xi accepted the written talk before, she said that her goal was to be a warrior of love, so the reaction was so intense.

The reason why Kazama Xi added the prefix "almost" is because both sides of the giant got a little bit.The protagonist and partners conform to the kingly setting, but the background and setting of the story tend to be evil.

"Is that so..."

Itakura Atsuya didn't care about Kazama Xi's ambiguous words, he was already thinking about publicity and marketing.
