wrote a 170,000-word comment for "The Biography of Ao Bing", not only because of love
I am Girl Heart Saves the World (pen name) , I wrote the first article and "Ao Bing" on January 15, 2020 Up to now, I have written 42 articles related to "Bing Biography", with a total of 170,000 words.
Writing articles has undoubtedly strengthened the benign interaction between readers and creators, and invisibly promoted readers’ in-depth thinking about the content of comics, making comics, an art form, certain in today’s impetuous environment. It has returned to its original thickness to a great extent, and it is no longer just "wait a month, look at the picture for fifteen seconds."
I am not the only reader who insists on writing articles for "The Biography of Ao Bing". Thanks to the appreciation area set up by a comic book, a lot of people have contributed their articles every time it is updated, and there are even many more recently. Young readers also plucked up the courage to join this team, and the cumulative number of submissions has reached nearly 300. In the past year and a half, we have responded to this excellent work in various ways. (Welcome to the appreciation area for a comic book "The Story of Ao Bing".)
So today I want to talk about the power of "The Story of Ao Bing" that allows us as readers to do this for it .
01
The milestone in my heart
is different from being attracted by the out of the circle of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World",Before "Biography of Ao Bing", I had never been in contact with comics readers. I grew up with comics and I paid much more attention to domestic comics than domestic animations.
is because it is not easy to understand domestic publishing, and it is even more difficult to publish comic booklets. Therefore, I basically read domestic comics by directly buying the booklets. All the booklets at home are complete sets. (I didn’t have any previous experience in catching up on the comics platform. , a comic , was the first comic app I ever used.)
And my initial expectation of "Ao Bing Biography" was only that I could It's as simple as buying a single book and holding it at home. But the "Biography of Ao Bing" has brought me, or it has brought readers far more than this. So much so that the news of 's single-line book is a milestone in our opinion. It finally has the opportunity to be seen by more people who don't use comic platforms like me in the past. We are happy for it from the bottom of our hearts.
We are very happy to introduce this exquisite and touching manga that is full of sincerity and embodies the countless hard work of 9 teachers including the director of dumpling in the past year and a half to anyone who is willing to come into contact. Comic people.
The director of Dumplings said on the title page of the pamphlet: He hoped that "The Legend of Ao Bing" could show the mythical world conceived in their hearts more vividly. And as a reader who has watched it all the way to today, I want to publicly respond to this sentence: You did it.
The underwater world portrayed by comics is complex, involves so many characters, and the amount of information is far beyond my imagination.
02
"The Story of Ao Bing" with reasoning temperament
"The Story of Ao Bing" was not born because of the later popularity of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World". The dumplings were announced on the day of the film's premiere. There will be news about this comic soon, so originally constituted an indispensable part of the huge worldview created by dumplings. It played a key role in complementing the entire series of works.It also further opened up the pattern of the original story. It can even be said that "The Legend of Ao Bing" is to lay a more solid foundation for the movie's sequel, making it possible for more unexpected super gods to unfold.
Lingzhu Ao Bing is not just a supporting role for the entire series. He represents a demonic force as opposed to humans, and is a guide who takes us to see the unknown realm of the seabed. The mythical world that dumplings want to show us is a dual-core driven world.
This is the positioning and meaning of manga.
Let’s talk about the exquisiteness and sincerity of comics. The exquisiteness of comics is divided into exquisite script and exquisite pictures.
In order to write appreciation articles, I will read the comics more than ten times on the day of each update (not to be tested during the update period), and I will continue to contact the previous article to analyze and predict the plot. So that I am very familiar with many details of the comics, I can even list a foreshadowing list quickly, and the mind map for clarifying the relationship between the characters has been iterated to the 14th edition. (The operation of using mind maps when reading comics is really a bit of a mix and match, but after the actual operation, the effect is good, and many people have reported that this picture has helped them a lot.)
can withstand repeated scrutiny and can let you Readers write thousands of words for each update, and even allowing readers to draw conclusions that are the same as the actual plot based on a series of preset clues a month or two ago is very indicative. I even think I am reading a mystery novel. (The screenwriter teacher himself likes to read mystery novels very much.)
03
The Heart of Craftsman in The Story of Ao Bing
This is a comic with rigorous script logic and tangible words; this is not A story of a distinct enemy and friend is a fairy tale that sings joy in suffering and joy comes from sorrow.
The plot is the core of the work. At this level of the plot, "The Story of Ao Bing" has a very beautiful life.
The exquisite picture makes me even more happy, because "Biography of Ao Bing" is a cartoon created with a brush. Brush comics have a very low chance of appearing. In my mind, they are very compelling. For a long time in the past, in my limited knowledge, Takehiko Inoue 's " Rogue " is the only brush manga I know.
followed by " dart man " in the domestic comics, "Three Wonders of White Cranes", "Snow Songs of Thousand Miles", and "Biography of Ao Bing".
In the half a year waiting for the official announcement of the comic book "The Story of Ao Bing", I have always been very nervous. I am afraid that it will be a far cry from the style of the characters in the movie, so that it will have a sense of separation and make you It's not to see, it's not to not.
is the comic preview and comic reservation poster that made my heart fall to the ground. The appearance of 's childhood Lingzhu Ao Bing and his family is amazing. Especially Ao Guang. As soon as the poster was posted on Weibo, the number of reposts was nearly 10,000, and the popularity was full. Countless people were eagerly looking forward to his appearance in the feature film; the last day of the countdown, the baby Xiao Bingbing ate his hand and stared with wide eyes. My appearance made me cute on the spot.
Later, teacher Ersi published a small number of manga manuscripts on Weibo. The lines are clear and pleasing to the eye to the point that if there is an original collection, I must buy it for collection. At this point, I basically don’t have any opinion on the picture. My first sentence at the opening is: It is painted with a brush. Are you interested in taking a look?
The sincerity comes from the rich details in the picture and the amount of engineering I roughly guessed.
04
High-intensity painting, full of sincerity of the painter
Comics are different from novels. It has a lot of information reflected in the picture itself rather than in the lines. You don’t have to use your mouth to say things that you can catch with your eyes . The friends in the comment area are always happy to find all kinds of details in the comics,I believe that the creators will be happy for this.
In addition to this, there are countless NPC characters who have no names, but they all have different shapes and skin colors. They are not copied and pasted NPC characters. (I didn't count exactly how many in this part, but at least 50 are going up.)
I even made a ruthless gesture a while ago, and observed each comic strip separately. (It’s easy to miss a lot of things by just brushing and walking. The first time I read this comic and the second time I look back with a conclusion, the feeling is completely different. I must not notice everything the first time.) It is also because of this. There is a more intuitive understanding of the amount of work in the creation of this comic.
I mentioned earlier that this is a comic created on paper with a brush, which means that each frame of the frame must be at least 2 pages (character + scene), and even the characters are stacked on top of each other like the cover of the Dragon Abyss In the case of circumstance, there will be more "layers" used.
After finishing this step with a brush, you will need to paint again, and add a series of special effects such as small bubbles used to reflect the bottom of the sea, so the creative process of each frame is very complicated. (The special effects of Ao Bing's water dragon is the most amazing, even with a sense of 3D, I really want to see it in the movie.)
According to my own statistics, every update is about 80 There have been several or even hundreds of storyboards in, and the total number of storyboards has now exceeded 3000.
This is a half-month-long comic, such a high-intensity work, such a huge amount of engineering, to be completed in such a short time with quality and quantity. I think the sincerity of the authors and teachers to this work and to our readers deserves everyone's respect.
It is the lucky for readers of domestic comics to be able to enjoy such a comic. (The Spring Festival in 2021 is even more of a pleasant surprise. In such an intense process of rushing to the draft and taking extra time to do such a long side, the teachers have loved the fans to a certain level. It is a very happy thing to chase this comic. .)
So you are interested in joining us, come to this soulful ocean to find out, come to experience the beauty of this excellent national style comic?
