The Creator of the Second Dimension

The "Music Girl" manga is over.

After the university chapter, Mr. Shuhai did not choose to continue depicting the daily life of these girls, and finished the work neatly.

In fact, the third season of "Music Girl" is still on the air. At this time, the popularity of comics is the highest, and the weekly sales can be ranked in the top five on the list. According to the thinking of ordinary cartoonists, even water must It will take several years, not to mention daily comics like "Music Girl", as long as the creativity is still there, it will not be a problem to serialize for ten years.

In this case, Mr. Shuhai's choice to finish is really unexpected.

However, in the eyes of Han Qingwen, who followed the manga, this made sense.

"The content of the university chapter is basically these. If you continue to draw, it will actually be the same routine repeated. Probably Mr. Shuhai is also very tired."

When Han Qingwen saw the finale of "Music Girl" in the magazine, he was filled with emotions. If he was purely a reader, he might complain why the author didn't draw more points, but Han Qingwen, who has already been in contact with the industry, naturally knows that for a For a first-time creator, being stuck in a bottleneck is not a good experience.

Although it seems to the outside world that creators only need to create similar things repeatedly to maintain their popularity, in the creators’ own eyes, no breakthrough is a kind of regression. Of course, in this entanglement, some creators choose Go with the flow, as long as you make money anyway, some authors, such as Mr. Shuhai, chose to end decisively.

"Well, if it were me, with such a profitable serial work, I probably wouldn't want to end it."

Li Xue nodded. She likes to watch "Music Girl" very much. This kind of relaxed and soothing work is very suitable for making a cup of coffee in the afternoon, with small biscuits, and watching while drinking afternoon tea.

"Actually, this time Mr. Shuhai came out again after closing the pen. At that time, the protagonists should have finished after they graduated from high school. The university chapter was only possible with the enthusiastic support of fans."

Han Qingwen recalled the "Music Girl" animated movie at the end of last year, which told the story of Xiao Wei and others going to the Kingdom of England on a graduation trip. Since it was a fan-oriented movie released on a small scale, the box office was not very high. Compared with " "The Garden of Words" has lost a lot of discussion, but as a fan-oriented movie, it is already very good.

"I don't know if Mr. Shuhai will retire completely or have ideas for new works."

Li Xue murmured to herself that what she heard from her cousin Li Ruoxuan was that Mr. Shuhai was already very old, so she could only bear the creation of four-frame comics like "Music Girl" that didn't require fine drawing. Now that this work is finally coming to an end, whether Mr. Shuhai will continue to create is a question.

"I hope to see new works."

Han Qingwen said something, like a sigh, but also like a prayer.

In Ningjiang Fantasy animation, in the reception room on the second floor, a short old man is sitting on a chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.

At first glance, she looks ordinary, just like the old Ningjiang lady who goes shopping for groceries everywhere, but anyone who knows a little bit about the Huaxia comic circle can quickly recognize that this is the just-finished big popularity. Manga, the author of "Music Girl" Mr. Shuhai.

Xu Rui walked into the reception room with a document, and after a while of pleasantries, he went straight to the point.

"Teacher Shuhai, this is how I invited you over this time. I have a plan here, and I hope you can participate."

He put the document in his hand on the table and spread it out. It was an animation planning book. Mr. Shuhai put on reading glasses and looked at it carefully.

"Shouldn't the cute girl I wrote lose her head again?"

She glanced at the title of the planning book and joked.

"What about this?"

Xu Rui did not deny it.

Ten minutes later, Mr. Shuhai finished reading the plan.

She was a little emotional.

Originally, after the end of "Music Girl", Teacher Shuhai really planned to close the pen, end her long serial career, and enjoy her leisure time in her later years. However, before the end, she still had some knots, that is, her creation has really reached its peak. Is it a good level?

As we all know, Mr. Shuhai has a cute painting style, is good at girly, relaxed and lively daily works, and has continued to create heart-warming themes for decades.

Even though "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" has a cruel plot, Mr. Shuhai only takes on the role of character setting, and has nothing to do with the specific story.

That's why everyone's impression of Mr. Shuhai's works is healing, cute, and everyday.

But Mr. Shuhai always wanted to surpass himself. However, the transformations from the past were not very good. ", Mr. Shuhai had some clues about the work.

As soon as the creation of "Music Girl" came to an end, Teacher Shuhai received an invitation from Xu Rui, wanting her to participate in the latest plan of the fantasy animation.

The difference from "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" is that this time Mr. Shuhai not only needs to be responsible for the character design, but also needs to have a certain grasp of the story. Simply put, he is involved as the creator of the story.

The reason is probably because the theme of this animation this time is an idea that Xu Rui and Mr. Shuhai had brainstormed during the cooperation period of "Magic Girl Madoka". The teacher himself has already started to prepare for the serialization of "Music Girl", so she put it on hold for now.

Unexpectedly, Xu Rui turned it out now.

"Depicting a cruel and cold story with a cute and healing style of painting, maybe I should really try it."

Teacher Shuhai thought for a moment. This story is completely different from the world she described in the past. It is full of maliciousness and danger. If you don't pay attention, you will lose your life. However, the protagonist of the story is a child who represents hope and purity.

This kind of combination, when you think about it for a while, feels very malicious.

However, Xu Rui did not simply use it as a novelty-seeking element to vent the negative and dark emotions in people's hearts at will. Instead, relying on the struggle of the two children in this cruel world, he tried his best to show the beauty of hope.

After reading the draft, Mr. Shuhai suddenly realized that the breakthrough he had been seeking for seemed to be contained in this still infancy work.

Somewhat moved, Teacher Shuhai was silent for a long time before finally taking off his glasses.

"I'm willing to participate in this project. I'm an old man. If I don't try it again, I'm afraid I'll bring my regrets to the grave in the future."

She replied, looking at this amazingly attractive plan.

The cover of the planning case, with the name of the work written.

- "From the Abyss".
