Doraemon is serialized in Marvel Comics in the form of weekly updates.
Time passed, and Doraemon soon serialized three chapters, and readers probably understood the direction of the whole story.
In every episode, Doraemon can take out a magical prop from his pocket to help the protagonist solve some problems and trigger some interesting stories.
Readers, the more you read, the more you like it.
So when Doraemon was officially serialized to the third chapter, its ranking in Neon China officially entered the top 10 of new comics this month.
Qi Ji directly became the only cartoonist from a foreign country on the ranking list.
Many readers in Neon China have changed their views one after another.
"I have to take back what I said before. Qi Ji's Doraemon is really interesting. I think it has a lot of innocence in it, but it also gives a lot of fairy tales to adults. I am 32 years old this year, but I
I personally like this comic very much, and I hope it can reach 100 or 1,000 chapters! If I keep drawing it, I can keep reading it."
"I never thought that a singer from China could actually draw a cartoon with our neon style. I really like it."
"Are you bragging? I think these first three chapters are just average."
In the conference room of Fantastic Comics.
"Boss, this is some relevant data about Doraemon. It can be seen that the momentum towards the opponent is very strong. On the Internet and among readers, its reputation is also fermenting crazily, and it may even impact this year.
"The best comic work." The expression on the employee's face who reported to Kawara Kazuhiro became a little ugly.
Because this result was really a bit beyond his expectation, not only beyond his expectation, but even beyond the expectations of the entire Magic Comics.
Although they have doubted it many times, at this moment, everyone still can't believe that Doraemon has such a good reputation among such picky domestic comic readers in Neon Kingdom.
It is unscientific and inappropriate.
It stands to reason that these comics readers have already been spoiled by the top domestic comics authors who have their own tastes.
Moreover, Qi Ji's Doraemon seems to be nothing more than that. The painting style is average and the overall content seems very childish. It may be suitable for children under 10 years old.
But why is its reputation so high?
This is something that a lot of people in Magic Comics at this moment can't figure out.
Kazuhiro Kawara stood up and walked slowly around the conference room.
He is bald and has few hairs on his head.
At this moment, he was stroking his few hairs with his hands. After a few seconds of silence, he slowly said: "This is just an impulse brought by his own popularity. Waiting for his fans
After losing the freshness of his comics, I believe he will soon fall down the rankings. It is completely impossible for non-professionals to rely on the popularity of laymen to hit the ceiling of our comics industry.
"
Kazuhiro Kawara felt that his judgment was still correct.
He still firmly believed in his own opinion.
The Doraemon that Qi Ji drew has been seen by him himself.
The overall style of painting is childish, and the content is not to mention completely child-oriented.
At best, his work is just an average work, with no innovation and no depth.
I just barely managed to pass the exam.
It is completely impossible to be excellent or even outstanding.
Judging from the plot lines that have appeared so far and its estimated future direction, this comic is at most a children's comic, so its threat to Magic Comics will not be that great.
Even if we take another 10,000 steps back, the popularity of Qi Ji's Doraemon can maintain its current top ten position in the comic rankings.
It is completely impossible for Qi Ji alone to fight against Magic Comics or even Sky Comics.
So overall, the future of Marvel Comics is still in decline.
at home.
Qi Ji has spent more than 20 words on Doraemon in one breath.
Originally, he didn't want to draw so fast, but he had no choice. Both his daughter and son liked it.
My son won’t talk about it. He actually can’t understand it, but he likes Doraemon’s style of painting very much.
He likes this fat, round, blue fat man very much.
So every time Qi Ji drew it, he would smile with a smile on his face, as if Qi Ji was drawing the most fun toy for him.
As for her daughter Qi Youning, she really likes the original storytelling of Doraemon, especially the magical props in Doraemon’s pockets, each of which is full of childishness and imagination.
This is Qi Youning's favorite thing.
"Dad, does Doraemon really exist in this world? I really want that bamboo dragonfly, or a random door." Qi Youning is about to enter the first grade.
But at this moment, he still stared with innocent eyes and gently shook Qi Ji's arm, which was so cute.
At this moment, the doorbell of Qi Ji's house rang, and it was Chang Zhengfang, who wrote Qi Ji's biography, who came over.
After following Qi Ji throughout the filming of the movie, he went into seclusion for a while and sorted out the various information about Qi Ji that he had obtained from the crew.
Now that everything was sorted out, he came to make an appointment with Qi Ji again, preparing to spend the afternoon chatting.
"Teacher Zhang, are you here? Come and sit down quickly. Do you want boiled water or tea?"
Chang Zhengfang smiled and shook Qi Ji's hand, and then said: "I'll just come and drink it for free. Teacher Qi Ji, please don't be so polite."
The two of them sat down, and the two children obediently took the latest Doraemon painting that Qi Ji had just painted, and went to the next room to look at it.
"I just finished reading the first few chapters of Doraemon on your website yesterday. I really like it. Especially the pocket inside Doraemon is really interesting and imaginative.
, I think it’s very suitable for our children to watch.”
Qi Ji said: "Indeed! A big part of the reason why I drew Doraemon is because I wanted to show it to my children."
The lines in Doraemon drawn by Qi Ji are all written in Chinese. When they are sent to Qi Ji's comic website, they will be translated into neon language by specialized translators there, and then serialized on the website.
above.
Moreover, after Qi Ji personally finished coloring the first three episodes, the colors of most of the characters that appeared were decided, so in the follow-up, Qi Ji would only draw rough drafts, and the coloring part would be handed over to the branch.
I hired a comic assistant specifically for myself.
Qi Ji heard that the other party was a local girl who studied painting, but Qi Ji had never seen her face.
After the other party finished illustrating the next few episodes, Qi Ji also read two episodes, which was very good.
It was exactly the effect he wanted, so Qi Ji directly asked this comic assistant to start the official work of coloring Doraemon.
"Are you going to participate in the second round of the World Singer Contest soon? I want to follow you to see if your performance in the World Singer Contest is okay?" Zhang Zhengfang said, holding the recording pen.
Qi Ji nodded and said: "Of course, there is no problem at all. You can even listen to my new songs now."
Chang Zhengfang laughed loudly: "Forget it about the new song. I have a recorder in my hand now. I will leak your demo. I can't bear the crime."
The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Zhengfang's conversation turned to Qi Ji's most influential work in China.
"I would like to ask you a question for the Chinese people around the world, that is, how did you come up with the series "Five Thousand Years of China"? I think it is simply a masterpiece, and can even be said to be one of the best in our Chinese literary world.
Miracle is the pearl on the crown! It is something that is beyond the reach of everyone, and can only be viewed from a distance but not played with. Such a masterpiece, I feel as if you wrote it lightly back then.
.”
Qi Ji gently touched his chin.
Zhang Zhengfang’s question was actually asked by a reporter before.
But Qi Ji even laughed and was deceived.
But now that the other party actually comes over to write a letter of advice to me, then I still have to take it seriously.
"Actually, if you look at the birth process of the entire Chinese Five Thousand Years series, you will probably know that at the beginning, I thought of such a character, Su Shi, and I constructed a whole series of stories for Su Shi.
Background. I thought of home, his country, and the world, and things got out of hand. My mind started thinking about Su Shi’s decades of living, thinking forward for thousands of years, and then thinking backward.
Thousands of years, so this story came out."
Qi Ji shows off like the wind and doesn't even make a draft when he brags.
But in Zhang Zhengfang's eyes, it was like hearing a legend.
Zhang Zhengfang's eyes were all sparkling.
He quietly rubbed the recorder in his hand and nodded slightly.
It was as if every word that came out of Qi Ji's mouth at this moment was a beautiful note, and he had to go through it in his mind.
This is really the ultimate enjoyment for him.
"How did you come up with characters like Li Bai and Du Fu? In fact, we all know that your poems are so good!"
Qi Ji paused, and then said seriously: "Who knows about inspiration, right? Sometimes it really can't be stopped when it comes."
"If you were given a chance again, would you choose to start from Su Shi and travel through the five thousand years of China?"
"Definitely not."
Zhang Zhengfang laughed loudly after hearing this, touched his belly gently, and then said: "I guess you will definitely choose this way, because judging from the entire series, the starting point of Su Shi's appearance is really too high.
! It’s not about his character identity and setting, but mainly about the lyrics he wrote. They are so top-notch. Suddenly, the tone of the entire series has been raised, making many of the poets and lyricists who appeared later actually think they are.
The shock to people will not be that big, because the appearance of Su Shi, who can be said to be the first poet in the entire Five Thousand Years of China series, has raised the threshold of all audiences."
Qi Ji said: "..."
The second round of the World Singer Contest was held in England. For this competition, Qi Ji also wrote an English song.
company.
Qi Ji is having a meeting with his team today.
In the second half of this year, the most important task will naturally be the World Singer Contest.
But because the space between each round is relatively large, Qi Ji has enough time to do other things.
So Qi Ji's initial plan is to continue filming the extra chapter of the Five Thousand Years of China series, about the story of the immortal spirit Qi Chang'an.
"Okay, this time the series of Late Night Canteen will be initially set at 12 episodes. If each episode has a story, it should have some warm and cute style and humorous stories."
Qi Ji said unhurriedly that this time he was going to start a late-night canteen series.
The original version of the Late Night Diner series is from Neon Country.
Many of the food character structures and character relationships in it are very Japanese.
Therefore, if Qi Ji wants to make a TV series of this series, he must make it completely localized.
So in Qi Ji's version of Late Night Canteen, it simply took over the structure of the original version.
It is a late-night canteen with Qi Changan as the owner of an extra episode that has already been filmed.
But the character stories that appear in each episode require new screenwriters to be written.
So today Qi Ji invited several editors from the company to come over and briefly talked about his thoughts and told everyone what kind of stories he needed to write next.
"Our episode is only about an hour long, so you have to control the lines and content of the script. This is still very demanding. It is no less than writing a movie script, but I believe in everyone's ability."
Qi Ji looked at several screenwriters and said.
To be able to become the contracted screenwriters of Miracle Entertainment, of course those of you here are not vegetarians.
So after hearing Qi Ji's words, everyone seriously patted their chests and gave Qi Ji assurance.
"Don't worry, boss, I'll try to write an episode script for you within a week, and I'll ask you to review it then."
"Boss, your idea is really great. It uses short stories in each episode and then uses the boss's own stories on TV to string together this story. Well, after listening to it now, my general thoughts
That is, every episode must be connected with our Chinese delicacies, and even the name of each episode can be called the name of a food."
Qi Ji said: "Yes, I think your idea is acceptable. Okay, let's not talk more. Everyone should take action quickly. I hope to see some good things in a week."
