On March 20, shortly after dawn, the boat to Manga Island was full of people. watermark ad test watermark ad test

"Oh, it's so big! It's the first time I've seen the sea!"

A young man beside the boat cheered, Li Xin raised his head when he heard the cheers, and asked in surprise, "Is this the sea?"

"No, the sea is on the other side of Manga Island..." Qin Ya, who was sitting next to him, replied, "It's a mainlander. It's probably the first time I've seen such a big river."

Manga Island is located on a tributary of the Yangtze River Delta. Although it is a tributary, the distance between the two banks is very far. It takes several minutes to drive from Manga Island to the nearby city.

"However, it feels really good here..." Qin Ya narrowed her eyes, feeling the refreshment of the moist wind blowing across her cheeks. Although Ninghai and Suhua are both coastal cities, it may be due to the difference in geographical latitude. Qin Ya In Suhua's wind, there is a strong breath of spring.

She looked at the manga island that was getting closer and closer. The trees on the island were green and the environment seemed to be very good, which made Qin Ya a little envious.

"Located in the center of the bustling city, an island that only belongs to manga..." She whispered one of the slogans of Manga Island, and she had an extra expectation for Manga Island—even though it is the enemy's territory, she can read manga Gradually integrating into society, Qin Ya doesn't dislike Manga Island at all.

She is not alone in coming to Manga Island this time. Dozens of people have come from Zhongxia Company. The cartoonists want to feel the cutting-edge atmosphere of manga, while editors and other managers plan to learn some experience from Phoenix Company’s carnival. See if there is any possibility of duplication in the future.

"Qin Ya, are you holding a DSLR?"

The highest-ranking person from Zhongxia Company was Wang Zhe. He saw Qin Ya holding a camera in his hand, so he asked aloud.

"Yes, Huaya gt-200. Do you understand the editor-in-chief?" Qin Ya asked back.

"Well, I understand a little bit." Wang Zhe was a little envious. The lens of this model of SLR costs more than 30,000 Huaxia coins. An editor like him who earns a salary at work can't afford it: "Qin Ya, do you know anything about photography?" research?"

"It's just a hobby." Qin Ya smiled. Said: "I often collect materials from various places, and slowly I started playing with cameras."

She is a very professional girl cartoonist. The themes of girl comics are more realistic than those of juvenile comics, so the requirements for social experience are also stricter. For example, some high-end cosmetics and clothing, the environment of various luxury hotel venues, etc., an ordinary girl does not understand these at all, if she does not fully collect materials in her life.

Qin Ya can easily be caught up by other cartoonists.

In addition to her talent, her achievements are also inseparable from her hard work.

"That's just right, can I ask you something?" Wang Zhe's eyes lit up: "The company needs a lot of photos of Manga Island. Can you work as a part-time photographer and take pictures everywhere?"

"This...well..." Qin Ya thought for a while, that is, to take more photos, and she agreed.

"After we landed on the island, we were free to move around. There seemed to be no activities on the first morning of the carnival, did I remember correctly?" Wang Zhe turned and asked a young editor.

The youth nodded: "Yes, there are no official events this morning, and there will be a book signing session for cartoonists in the afternoon. Then there will be voice actors performing on stage in the evening."

The morning of the first day of the carnival was reserved for the audience to gather. A group of people from the Zhongxia Company separated after going to the island. Qin Ya and the two female cartoonists planned to have breakfast first, but the breakfast shops they passed by were all Overcrowded, tourists who have just arrived on the island are busy looking for food.

"There are so many people, there is no difference between this place and the commercial street outside!"

"Isn't it? If it weren't for the girls handing out leaflets, I would have thought I was really shopping in the pedestrian street!"

The three of them lined up at the entrance of a steamed stuffed bun shop. This steamed stuffed stuffed bun shop had the fastest queue speed. Qin Ya pointed her camera at some girls handing out leaflets on the street and took pictures. These girls were very cutely dressed, wearing all kinds of clothes. , causing passing tourists to pick up their mobile phones to take pictures, and some even took the initiative to ask for a group photo.

"These girls don't even refuse to take pictures together, have they been professionally trained?"

"There must be training, but I guess they are some extroverted girls... You can see that their smiles don't seem to be forced, and they don't feel nervous when talking to tourists. This is not something that can be trained in a short time!"

While chatting, they quickly bought breakfast, found a bench on the street and sat down.

"These buns are too hard to bear..." Qin Ya looked at the buns with some surprise and said, the appearance of these buns is all kinds of elves: ""Pokemon" is really powerful, it can develop anything."

This is not the first time she has eaten the food of "Pokemon". Last time at the He Xi celebration, there were many desserts and toys with pictures of elves. This animation is very popular, and the shape is suitable for developing various products , the acceptance of tourists is quite high.

"This is the flyer I just got. There is a shop over there that sells various peripherals of "Pokemon" and card games. Shall we go and have a look."

A female cartoonist handed the leaflet to Qin Ya while eating a steamed bun. Qin Ya took a look, and her eyes lit up immediately. There were many "Pokemon" products printed on the leaflet. There are models, cards, tableware and a variety of other items that are full of character and look very cute.

"Let's go and have a look!" She quickly ate the steamed stuffed bun in her hands, and then walked to the shops around "Pokemon" with her two companions.

When they passed a corner, the three found many people gathered in front of them. They walked out of the crowd curiously, and then exclaimed: ""5 Centimeters Per Second"!"

The place surrounded by the crowd is a cherry blossom tree, and under the cherry blossom tree are two character templates of the same height - Guishu and Akari, the two protagonists of "5 Centimeters Per Second" are standing with their backs facing each other Why, it is obviously just a paper film, but it gives people a vivid feeling.

"Woooo..."

This scene seems to remind some people of the sadness of the doomed love affair in "5 Centimeters Per Second". A junior high school girl cried softly.

"These two paper membranes are so beautifully made, just like the real thing..."

"Look at the reminder here, these two paper membranes were drawn by Mr. He Xi himself!"

"Teacher He Xi!? No wonder it's so artistic!"

No one approached the two paper films. Several young people in the crowd took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and then everyone took out their mobile phones to take pictures. But at this moment, the girl who was crying softly just now suddenly walked up to the middle of the paper film and said to her companion, "Xiaoxi, take this portrait for me."

She opened her hand and held the paper film with both hands. Suddenly, the scene under the cherry blossom tree changed. Guishu and Akari seemed to be reconnected through the participation of tourists.

"This...", "Girl, well done!"

The people around applauded. They took the initiative to take pictures of the girl. After her, another person walked in and was photographed doing the same actions as the girl.

More people joined in, and Qin Ya's companion excitedly patted her on the shoulder: "Qin Ya, wait for me to go in too, take a picture for me."

"Okay." Qin Ya smiled and nodded. She looked at the lively crowd and the two paper membranes under the cherry tree, feeling strange in her heart.

"After so many years, romance comics and animations have emerged one after another, but why does "5 Centimeters Per Second" still remain in everyone's hearts."

"Five Centimeters Per Second", this is a comic full of legends. The development of this comic is limited by too many factors-it has no animation and the ending is a tragedy. These two factors alone should be able to bury it in the flow of time. But it has created a miracle, and its popularity is still at its peak, and it is still hailed as a masterpiece in love comics.

Qin Ya has created a lot of girl comics, and many of them are animated. She believes that her plot is not worse than "5 Centimeters Per Second", but there is a world of difference in the praise of readers. The plot of "Five Centimeters Per Second" is not complicated, and any cartoonist can draw it. But what is drawn will only be a sad and mediocre work, and it is impossible to create such a miracle.

What is the secret of He Xi's success?

"Painting skills?" Qin Ya muttered to herself, but quickly shook her head: "No... it should be the soul, "5 Centimeters Per Second" seems to have its own soul."

That's right, if the comic itself doesn't have a kind of thought and a kind of soul in it, no matter how good the drawing skills are, it won't be able to move people's hearts. He Xi's success is not because of his outstanding drawing skills, but because he vividly portrayed the soul of "5 Centimeters Per Second", and being able to put a kind of soul into his works is the essential difference between He Xi and other cartoonists.

Qin Ya has also made progress in the past two years, but she has not successfully drawn such a cartoon...

"I still have a lot to work on."

She sighed in her heart, but shook her head. There are challenges to make progress. No matter how powerful He Xi is, he will not be invincible!

After taking the photo, the three cartoonists continued to walk towards the shops around "Pokemon". On the way, a cartoonist asked Qin Ya: "What do you think of the comic island?"

"I was pleasantly surprised." Qin Ya looked forward, where a girl in a Pikachu doll costume was distributing leaflets, she raised her camera and took a picture, printing pink cherry blossoms and yellow Pikachu in the photo, she He smiled and said: "The change can't be achieved overnight. The manga island is just like this, which surprises me!"

She felt as if she was in a foreign country in Manga Island. On the street, there were girls in costumes and dolls and cat ears. The shops sold all kinds of exquisite and cute products, and the pedestrians around her were all manga lovers. When passing by, these people can still be heard talking about comics enthusiastically.

The event hasn't started yet, but Qin Ya is already very pleasantly surprised.
