Chapter 520: The Gifted Girl
After finally squeezing into the Comic Exhibition Center, I could hear the cheers of fans behind me.
Mr. Anbei couldn't help but make a self-deprecating joke: "Zhuang Lijun, if you come to participate in our Japanese Prime Minister election, I think I will lose completely."
It is obvious that in the minds of young people in Japan, Zhuang Li, a native of the Dragon Kingdom, is more popular than him, the Prime Minister of Japan.
Zhuang Li laughed: "Mr. Anbei thinks too much. I'm only interested in animation and games. Prime Minister, I can't do that."
In fact, what he was thinking was that I was only interested in praise!
When Zhuang Li and his group entered the backstage of the Comic Exhibition Center, the bodyguards at the door slowly dispersed the wall of people, and fans poured into the Comic Exhibition Center one after another.
Zhuang Li, Anbei Xiaosan, Takashima and others have arrived, indicating that the screening ceremony of Detective Conan is about to begin.
Everyone is looking forward to Toei's new Detective Conan, especially after watching a short trailer, everyone remembered one sentence.
This is Conan's most classic sentence: "There is always only one truth!"
This screening ceremony was hosted by Toei Company. Zhuangli only attended as a special guest and did not need to appear on stage in person.
It just so happened that Zhuang Li had no intention of going on stage and was enjoying his leisure time.
The atmosphere at the scene was very enthusiastic, and with the premiere at the Comic-Con, it looked like the ceremony might not end within a few hours.
Fans are very enthusiastic, but for Zhuang Li, Detective Conan has watched him grow up since he was a child. He went to school from elementary school to college, and Conan didn't even graduate from elementary school. He is too familiar.
So after watching it for a few minutes, I felt it was boring. However, Bai Ruyu has never watched Detective Conan, but now I am watching it with gusto.
Zhuang Li didn't bother her, put on sunglasses and a hat, made a simple disguise and wandered around the Comic Exhibition Center.
This is his first time to come to the Edo International Comic Exhibition Center, which is also the largest comic exhibition center in the world. Countless comics and animation lovers from all over the world gather here every day.
In addition to the Detective Conan screening ceremony, there are many other animation exhibitions, both from animation film companies and from individual enthusiasts.
However, due to the strong appeal of Detective Conan, most of the manga fans gathered there, and the other booths were much deserted than usual.
This was good, it wasn't that crowded, and Zhuang Li took a leisurely stroll while admiring other comics exhibitions.
While wandering around, he discovered many animation works with great potential, both in terms of storyline and production, which were of considerable quality.
In particular, he was very surprised by the animation demonstration he saw in front of a personal booth. It was almost as good as the most classic animations in previous lives, and was even better in some aspects.
Zhuang Li stood in front of the booth, watched the 5-minute clip from beginning to end, and couldn't help but nod secretly.
Just like games, the system’s judgment of anime is also divided into original and non-original.
After the reward pool is upgraded to Lv4, the original works will enjoy the critical hit effect of praise value, and the animation works in the previous life will always be used up, so original animation is also necessary.
In fact, when Zhuang Li was wandering around the comic exhibition center, he was thinking about looking for original animation talents, but he didn't expect that he would actually find them.
After watching the animation clip of the demonstration, Zhuang Li looked up at the people in the booth.
She is a quiet young girl who looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. She has long shawl hair and wears a playful cat-eared girl COS costume. She has her head bent and is concentrating on drawing a cartoon with a cat on her head.
The earband slipped halfway without even noticing.
He didn't even notice Zhuang Li's existence.
Seeing her focused look, he moved closer with curiosity, stood behind her, and looked down.
She was drawing a comic on the manuscript paper, sketching out a vivid sketch with just a few strokes, and then continued to create meticulously, focusing very much from beginning to end, as if everything else except the brush in her hand had been blocked by her.
A complete comic, from sketch to outlining, coloring, modification, and final completion, took less than 30 minutes.
The content is vivid and the painting style is delicate, making it even better than professional cartoonists from Toei Company.
She is definitely a talented girl who is very talented in comic creation.
"Did you come up with all these comics yourself?" Zhuang Li asked, holding back his words.
There are many comics placed on the table next to the girl.
The girl was startled by the sound coming from behind, turned around, and saw Zhuang Li blinking in confusion.
"Nani?"
Um...it turns out to be a Japanese girl.
The Japanese girls and the girls from the Dragon Kingdom looked similar, and Zhuang Li forgot that he was now at the Japanese Edo International Comic Exhibition Center.
I had to change to Japanese and ask again.
With Zhuang Li's intelligence attribute up to 20, language is too simple for him. It only took him a few days to become proficient in more than a dozen languages such as English, Polar Bear Language, and Goguryeo.
Japanese, a simple language derived from Long Guoyu, is of course not a problem.
This time the girl understood Zhuang Li's question, nodded and said: "These are all created by me. I like comics very much and hope to become a real cartoonist."
Zhuang Li smiled and said: "Your works are very good. I think you will definitely become a very good cartoonist."
Then he pointed to the animated short film playing on the display in front and asked: "What about that one, is it also your work?"
The girl nodded, her eyes sparkling.
"That's one of my favorite works! I've always wanted to make it into an animation. But I didn't have enough money, so I had to ask an animation company to make this 5-minute short film."
At this point, the girl's expression became disappointed.
"Then you came to the comic exhibition just because you hope someone will see your work and make it into animation?" Zhuang Li asked.
The girl nodded lonely: "Today may be the last time I come here."
"Why?"
"Because I promised my mother that if no one sees my work today, I will give up my favorite comics and concentrate on studying mathematics. Oh, my God, I hate mathematics the most. It is simply a devil. I have never been
Didn’t pass!”
The girl seemed to be thinking of something particularly scary and made an exaggerated expression of fear.
Zhuang Li couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
The 5-minute animation tells the story of a girl's struggle with a terrifying mathematical demon. It turns out that the creation really comes from life.
"And I don't have any more money to rent a booth here." The girl said frustrated.
The booth rental at the Edo International Comic Exhibition Center is very expensive. The daily rent for such a small booth is almost 1,000 dragon coins.
