Journey To The West: Cultural Invasion Beginning With Comics

Chapter 454: You Must Transform To Be A Magical Girl

"Master, this is my homework for the past two days, please check it!"

Xiaoyue obediently handed over the drawing in her arms, and then looked at Mu You nervously.

Mu You has told her before that if she can complete this Digimon manga well, she can become a teacher and officially start creating her own works.

So now it is considered as a pre-graduation acceptance.

Mu You took the drawing and read it carefully.

This time Xiaoyue drew the content of the Four Heavenly Kings chapter of "Digimon", which is also the last part of the plot in the first part.

After reading it, Mu You couldn't help but nodded.

It can be clearly seen that Xiaoyue's storyboard has made great progress, and even continuous action scenes can be displayed very smoothly.

As for the style of painting......

Well, there are still some beautiful directions, such as Taiyi and Ahe in her works, even if they stand there normally, they always give people a feeling of flickering and full of lust.

But compared to the blatant performance at the beginning, it has been much better.

At least the classic scene of the flying hat killing at the end, she handled it quite perfectly, the picture is rendered to the end, and the emotions of the children are also very natural, it can be said that the original work has been restored to the greatest extent

"Not bad, it seems that you have almost mastered the basic painting skills."

Mu You returned the drawing to her and said with a smile, "You can open your own work now."

"real?"

Xiaoyue looked at Mu You in surprise, and couldn't believe it.

"certainly."

Mu You nodded: "After the painting skills meet the requirements, it's time to control the plot and rhythm. This is difficult to teach. Only by developing your own works can you improve slowly."

"yeah!"

Xiaoyue suddenly became excited, but soon thought of something, her face turned bitter: "But, Master, I don't know what to draw...~~..."

She always talks about "famous works handed down from generation to generation", but because she has been busy studying manga recently, she has no time to think about new works.

Until now, she hadn't had a suitable story in her head.

"Don't worry, I will provide you with the subject matter. This time I will be in charge of the copywriting first, and you will be the lead writer." Mu You shook his head and said.

Although she is a teacher from an apprentice, it is impossible for Mu You to really let her let herself go to create. The basic direction still needs to be controlled by her, otherwise I will guarantee you to create a bunch of rotten comics every minute.

"That's good."

Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Although her painting skills have been recognized, she still has no idea about letting her create independently.

Now that Master is with her, she immediately feels much more relaxed.

Seeing her expression, Mu You knew what she was thinking, and said seriously: "Don't relax, I will only provide you with the basic worldview setting and a big framework, and the specific details of the plot are still up to you. Otherwise, the effect of exercise will not be achieved."

Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. I just wanted to be lazy, but I didn't expect my master to see through all my thoughts.

"Master, what theme are we going to paint this time? Young man's blood, or child's confession?"

"neither."

Mu You shook her head: "From today onwards, you will write a new genre called 'Magic Girl'."

"Magical girl?"

Xiaoyue froze for a moment. I did a quick search in my head, but couldn't find any information related to it.

This seems like a completely innovative vocabulary.

"Magic girls, in the usual sense, are girls who use incredible power to create miracles and solve problems for the people."

Mu You first popularized the concept of "horse monkey shochu" for her.

Because of the appearance of Warcraft, the concept of 'magic' is no longer unfamiliar to the world, but this is the first time that magical girls have appeared in this world.

"Magic girls refer to a special type of little girls, generally speaking, they all meet the following characteristics.

First, there is a cute flying pet who is called a familiar.

Second, they are all young and beautiful little girls.

Third, they have mastered magical powers different from ordinary people, and the weapons they use are generally magic wands.

Fourth, transform before each battle and put on beautiful new clothes. "

Mu You succinctly summarized the characteristics of magical girls.

Among them, the fourth point is the most important, transforming, and then changing into a beautiful (shame) bright (shame) clothes, is the essence of a magical girl.

Those well-known magical girl works, "Pretty Girl Warrior", "Cardcaptor Sakura", "Magical Girl Nanoha", "Pretty Cure", "Magic Girl Illya", and two subversive healing to God For "Magic Girl Raising Project" and "Magic Girl Madoka Magica", the protagonists all meet these four characteristics.

In the past, most of the comics were usually male protagonists, Long Aotian-style problem-solving, and the main selling points were blood and frankness.

The Magic Girl series is equivalent to a gender swap, changing the person who solves the problem to a woman.

When women master powerful power and solve problems, it is easy to show the femininity and delicacy of women.

This is a point of view that is completely different from male-oriented comics.

And...Although Magical Girl is a female-oriented work, there are actually quite a few male audiences who like this style, even more than female audiences.

Xiaoyue's eyes lit up immediately after listening to Mu You's (Wang Wang's) explanation.

Cute pets, beautiful girls, magic, beautiful little skirts...

These elements hit her preferences perfectly.

"...Master, quickly tell the story, Magical Girl, and then, how to unfold and how to develop?"

Xiaoyue asked eagerly.

"Don't worry, the manga you are going to draw this time is called "Cardcaptor Sakura", also called "Cardcaptor Sakura".

Mu You explained to her the outline of Cardcaptor Sakura's story.

He still decided to start with the story of the first cute king.

There is a saying that 'always be imitated, never surpassed'. As the originator of the magical girl series, the story of "Sakura" is still a classic among classics even if it is read more than 20 years later. .
