Chapter 186 Is there a market for basketball comics?

"This is your new comic setting?"

Yu Qingya knew that her lover had been busy working on the new manga for the past two days, but she didn't ask too much, and she would naturally know when it was time for her to know.

Today, Yu Qingya finally found out that the new comic that her lover has been busy with for the past two days is the basketball comic "Slam Dunk" with the theme of sports activities. By the way, is there a market for basketball comics these days?

Yu Qingya expressed concern about this.

Yes, Yu Qingya is not optimistic about the future of "Slam Dunk" comics. It is undeniable that basketball is a popular sport nowadays, but basketball comics and basketball novels are both niche works.

If this is not the case, there are many cartoonists and Internet writers in the world, so why are there so few comics or novels with basketball as the theme?

In fact, basketball novels in this world are more popular than basketball comics. After all, online novels basically unfold the plot slowly from the perspective of the protagonist alone. Just be cool, anyway, online novels are defined as the most nutritious "fast food" in the world.

The comics are different. The comics unfold the plot from the perspective of multiple people. This is the same as filming. In addition to the male number one, there are also males, second males, third males, fourth males, and fifth. Woolen cloth?

In the same way, there is no market for basketball comics because a basketball game is not a one-person performance show. A regular basketball game requires at least ten people to participate. Naturally, it will be difficult to draw if there are too many characters. Fix the template, otherwise it will become a vase.

In addition, basketball comics are basketball-based competitive comics. The characters in the paintings must be in motion for most of the time. Therefore, the characters in the paintings move a lot. This also involves a question, does the cartoonist know enough about the shape of the characters? ?Do you have certain attainments?If the cartoonist does not have the attainments in this area, it is impossible to draw a good competitive cartoon.

Besides, cartoonists and novel authors are mostly nerds who don't like sports. They don't know enough about basketball. Will the basketball cartoons they draw be neither fish nor fowl?Basketball novels rarely have two protagonists and multiple protagonists. The plot is easy to control, but comics are difficult. If there are too many characters, it is difficult to control.

"Yeah," Lin Tianbao couldn't help asking, seeing his lover put down the outline of "Slam Dunk" after flipping through it a few times, "What do you think is wrong?"

Yesterday, after Lin Tianbao set up the characters in "Slam Dunk", it was getting late, and he didn't disturb his girlfriend's rest. When he got up this morning, he couldn't wait to "present treasure", just like a child waiting to be praised .

I remember in my previous life, my girlfriend liked the anime "Slam Dunk" very much, but her favorite anime character is different from his. My girlfriend's favorite is Kenji Fujima, who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

I have to say that the anime "Slam Dunk" is really excellent. Not only the protagonist is outstanding, but also the supporting roles. In addition to Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, Mitsui Hisashi, Sendo Akira, Miyagi Ryota, Akagi Takenori and other anime characters are all outstanding. Has its own fan base.

It can be seen that the author's profound creative skills.

In fact, compared to the beautiful and delicate painting style of shoujo manga, Inoue Takehiko's painting style is rough and bold, but it has its own style and tends to be realistic.

Especially in the later period of "Slam Dunk", Takehiko Inoue's painting style tends to mature, and the application of storyboards is even more proficient.

"It's not that there is a problem, but that there is a problem everywhere, especially with basketball as the subject matter."

Yu Qingya watched the plot and character design of "Slam Dunk", and the protagonist is undoubtedly Hana Sakuragi, but Liu Chuanfeng's role in the story is almost comparable to Hana Sakuragi, and what makes Yu Qingya even more troubled is that the girl the protagonist has a crush on has always been Secretly in love with the cool Liu Chuanfeng, the key is that Liu Chuanfeng's character design is not annoying and pleasing, of course, the same is true for Hana Sakuragi as the protagonist, so Yu Qingya can only silently pity Sakuragi classmate.

Fortunately, "Slam Dunk" is a comic. If it is an online novel, believe it or not, the glass-hearted readers will click "X" at the first time?Or yell at the author for cuckolding the protagonist?
Where is the problem?No way, it's so serious?
Lin Tianbao looked puzzled and said: "What's wrong with the theme of basketball? I think basketball is very popular nowadays. Those basketball fans are potential consumers of "Slam Dunk", and the audience of "Slam Dunk" is mostly teenagers. "

"You all know that basketball is one of the most popular sports nowadays, don't other cartoonists know? Why don't those cartoonists easily touch basketball or even sports subjects?"

Yu Qingya is also a fan of anime, but after graduation, she was busy with work and dating, so she didn’t have much time to watch anime. According to her knowledge, there hasn’t been a basketball comic in recent years. Not only basketball, but also football, volleyball, baseball, rugby, etc. None of the sports comics about human sports has been successfully animated, and some comics that have been serialized for 1-2 episodes have not been well received by the market, and they have been directly cut in half.

Those one-on-one competitive comics are a little bit better, at least in recent years, there are some that have been successfully animated, such as Go, chess, tennis, badminton, and table tennis.

In short, cartoonists are reluctant to touch multiplayer sports comics. Newcomers will die if they touch it, and masters will jump if they touch it.

Lin Tianbao had a thought, and quickly asked Zhuzhu to search wildly. How could he know why?The day before yesterday, he searched the Internet and saw that there was no "Slam Dunk" and anime with a similar style in this world, so he started to make an outline.

Ten seconds later, Lin Tianbao finally understood why, that is, cartoonists in this world are not good at drawing sports cartoons, especially multiplayer sports cartoons.

Failure is the mother of success!
In the comics world, there are very few authors who can draw gods in one drawing, let alone the gods in sports comics. Cartoonists ran to draw sports comics to test the water, and retreated as soon as they saw something wrong. Dare to ask, can this improve the level? ?How can you succeed without experiencing failure?No wonder the world can't come up with a decent sports anime.

The corners of Lin Tianbao's mouth turned up, and he said confidently: "Because they don't have good stories, and I am good at making up stories."

Fortunately, beauty is in the eyes of lovers, and Yu Qingya likes to see her lover's confident appearance, but Lin Tianbao's arrogant appearance is too pretentious and flattering in the eyes of others.

"You, you, what should I say about you? Have you been a little bit smug recently? Teen comics are not children's animations. I'm really afraid that you will fall from the sky."

Yu Qingya has never been optimistic about "Slam Dunk". As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the more painful you fall. Yu Qingya is really afraid that her lover will stumble from the clouds.

Lin Tianbao held his girlfriend's jade hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have a giant heart, I can fully withstand the blow of failure, and what other people can't do doesn't mean that Lin Tianbao can't do it."

If "Slam Dunk" becomes an instant hit, Lin Tianbao will start a new era of sports comics, otherwise, let's make persistent efforts!The big deal is that "Captain Tsubasa", "Baseball Hero", and "The Prince of Tennis" will take turns to play. If it really doesn't work, let's switch to the head office?Lin Tianbao doesn't believe in that evil anymore, one after another of the popular cartoons on the earth will be smashed here.
