Under the guidance of translation, he Chen and others came to the magazine bookstore.
The magazine bookstore is not big, but the layout is simple and generous. All kinds of magazines are neatly displayed on the bookshelves and are in good order. At first glance, the owner is a book lover.
There are not many people in the shop. A few people line up at the counter to check out. There are a few branches in the shop, quietly reading magazines.
There are only two staff members here. A young man is receiving customers in the counter, and a middle-aged man is carefully sorting out the magazines that customers have read, and putting them back in the space that readers have bought away.
He Chen lets Long Wu wait for him in the car outside. Ling Yan is also interested in the magazine store, so he follows him. The translator went over and said a few words to the boss first. Ling Yan said to he Chen that the translator was asking the boss where the comic magazine was.
The boss raised his head, took a look at hechen, then called hechen and others, and came to a special column with comics.
It's not a cartoon column. It's a column for art books. There are several comic books in it.
In he Chen's heart, he said a few words to the publishers who were in a stalemate with him. If it wasn't for them, maybe there would be books all over the place.
From these books, he Chen felt a strong taste of "art". He seemed to have seen some magazines when he took art appreciation courses.
Casually took two works that looked like comics from the cover, he Chen found that they were really comics!
No, it should be found that the comic style here is basically colorful. But it's different from the style of Meiman. The style here is very delicate.
He Chen saw a magazine called metal hurlant. When he picked it up, it was "MH" that attracted him. He always felt like the abbreviation of "manga" in pinyin. Moreover, the word of manga in this world is "Manhua". It's not surprising that he Chen felt like this.
"It seems to be French. In French, it should be called" metal roar. "
See he Chen holding a magazine in a daze, Ling Yan for he Chen translation.
Shit!
He Chen in the heart again silently relied on a. Don't understand the sadness of foreign language, you don't understand!
In his heart, he still imagined what kind of artistic conception "MH" would have in this pile of books full of artistic flavor, but he did not expect that it was such a thing full of "heavy metal" rock band style.
Are rock bands ready to March like comics now?
Somehow, he Chen thought of Nana, then K-ON, and finally lovely Heresy.
If it's a group of cute girls, it's OK.
But he Chenxin is sexy, passionate and unrestrained, but he is cute. He Chen is skeptical. After all, we can only contact foreigners from TV and movies, in his eyes. Over the age of 10, lollies in Europe and America have lost their talent to be cute.
This is a kind of sadness.
God has given people a great power to be cute!
But people always lose it in the process of growing up. When people look back and want to find their "Mengli", they can't find it any more.
My daughter... When you were born, your name echoed in the world of two dimensions
My daughter, I'm proud to see you grow into a two-dimensional agent
Remember - the two dimensional family will always rule by peddling
I also know that when you try to use your great power, You will be restrained
But the real victory, my daughter - is to win the heart of your people
I tell you this because when I hold the world cute competition - you will be crowned the king of cute!
Promoting the universal value of "Meng" is one of he Chen's unchanging goals. He feels that there are enough comic books and characters now, and he thinks that the world Meng competition can also be considered.
He Chen took back his thoughts like a runaway wild dog and opened the comic book.
Then he was surprised.
Although the magazine is mainly short stories, its quality is completely beyond hechen's imagination.
Naturally, there is no need to say that he Chen's painting skill is absolutely a master level.
In terms of content, it is mainly based on fantasy and science fiction. Most of the content is adult oriented, and it is often boldly published with death. This is something he Chen has never been involved in.This is aimed at the adult market, which is not only a matter of subject matter. What he saw was their acceptance of comics. He also found a reason why they were not interested in Tianman's works - contrary to Huaxia's positioning as children's works, they positioned it as adult works.
It seems that because of the "art" reasons, they are more in pursuit of a deep expression of connotation and depth. He Chen vaguely understood why some of the island animation works were even more popular in Europe than in the island.
The majority of the magazines are color works, but they are different from the common North American color caricatures. They are carved by cartoonists one by one, so they can present rich features.
From here, we can see that they are unique. In North America, they regard comics as commodities, while they regard comics as art.
He Chen suddenly remembered that the comics he had seen always put Europe and the United States together, but there was a huge difference between them. Just like Hollywood movies and European movies, they had their own characteristics in terms of creation system, style and content.
Generally speaking, the typical American cartoon is a superhero's battle between good and evil, and a street fighter full of violence; The European comics, I do not know if it is because of the profound cultural heritage, so whether it is the theme of adventure, history, science fiction, life, the style of comics is not only diverse and imaginative, but also delicate and diverse personality.
The most typical difference between European comics and American comics is that most European comics are created by individuals or studios, so their personal style is relatively strong. American comics are mostly organized by the company studio assembly line, so the style is more uniform.
This also leads to the different styles of French comics.
Europe is more like China than North America. Like to take a "mood" way of expression..
The only difference is that Europe is outward looking. But Huaxia is introverted.
This is not absolute.,, To further improve the quality of service. With the deepening and frequent cultural exchanges, China has also begun to blossom. From the introverted style, there are also a number of outward style stream of expression art schools, among which the representative is hechen. This is Ling Qianshan's evaluation of hechen.
For the form of expression of hechen comics, it is generally believed that it is a form of artistic expression that combines the strengths of eastern and western visual expression arts.
He Chen is not a comic archaeologist. I don't know how comics come into being, so I'll acquiesce in their evaluation. Anyway, they are labeled as "art", and the grade and fashion value of comics are improved immediately, which is more convenient for them to promote.
This trip to the bookstore has gained a lot, and hechen has found out the taste of the European market almost immediately - it's too distinctive and unique.
In my heart, I have some thoughts on how to attack Europe.
However, looking at the magazine in his hand, he Chen was in a dilemma.
We swept around. For other comic magazines here, in hechen's eyes, they can only be regarded as ordinary. But this is a magazine. Through comics, he Chen clearly felt the style of a generation of comic masters.
This magazine has published three of the most wonderful cartoons he Chen thinks, which are written by the same author.
First of all, from the point of view of the most basic painting skills, the author's painting skills are impeccable, the use of various lines is old and spicy, and the use of color is also perfect.
This is the basis. It doesn't matter to comic books. It can only be regarded as icing on the cake. However, the most rare thing is that the author's imagination is unrestrained, and the story style is rich and changeable. Although it is a short story, the three short comics are all different in theme and style, which makes hechen seem to see another hook.
He Chen felt that his group of semi-finished assistants could not match him.
"Crouching trough, when did such a powerful figure appear in Europe?" It's all French. He didn't know the writer at all, he muttered.
He entered the European market. It seems that the magazine and the author will be enemies. After all, he has such a strong strength and has a home advantage. It's better to dig in... He Chen's mind has moved to dig people again.
This author is no better than other assistants. He is a well-known author, who can be used directly after digging. He doesn't need to be trained at all.
"Mobius... Oh, this is the artist Jean? Gilao's pseudonym refers to the mathematical concept "Mobius belt" named after German mathematicians, which symbolizes the endless continuation of the "Mobius ring"... "
If it wasn't for the excellent preparation of the translator, he Chen was very famous. He Chen picked up a magazine at random, and he even knew the detailed information of the author."The guy..." the name of the author let him unable to make complaints about it.
But the pseudonym hechen sounds familiar, is it because of the thundering "magic bishuan".
It symbolizes the infinite continuity, just like man's infinite imagination.
"Let me? Guillau, a French national treasure artist, has won the title of "Knight of art and literature". This is the highest achievement of French culture and art. He became famous before you were born
The translator may think that he Chen knew the man, so he only said his real name, and the rest was his admiration for the master. Lingyan knows he Chen is very mansion, and he has no idea about anything that has nothing to do with the animation business. He make complaints about it, so he can give a supplementary note to hechen.
Sounds like it's more than famous. It's famous all over the world!
A name that had been heard so many times suddenly appeared in hechen's mind and set off a huge wave in hechen's heart.
"Mobius... Mobius? wtf!”( Not finished, to be continued
ps Why is there no passion in writing recently? Is it time for hibernation?
