On March 20, shortly after dawn, the boat to Manga Island was full of people.

"Oh, that's big! The first time I saw the sea! ”

A young man on the side of the boat cheered, Li Xin raised his head when he heard the cheers, and asked in surprise, "This is the sea?" ”

"No, the sea is on the other side of the comic island......" Qin Ya, who was sitting beside him, replied: "That's a mainlander, I guess it's the first time I've seen such a big river." ”

Manga Island is located on a tributary of the Yangtze River Delta, although it is a tributary, the distance between the two sides of the river is very long, and it is a few minutes to drive from Manga Island to the nearby city.

"However, it feels so good here...... Qin Ya squinted her eyes, feeling the refreshing feeling of the moist wind blowing through her cheeks, although Ninghai and Suhua are both coastal cities, but maybe it is the difference in geographical latitude, Qin Ya smelled a strong spring breath in the wind of Suhua.

She looked at the comic island that was getting closer and closer, the trees on the island were grass green, and the environment seemed to be very good, which made Qin Ya a little envious.

"Located in the middle of the bustling city, the island that only belongs to the comics......" She softly read one of the promotional slogans of the comic island, and had more expectations for the comic island in her heart - although it is the enemy's territory, but being able to see the comics gradually integrate into society, Qin Ya does not hate the comic island at all.

She didn't come to Comic Island alone, dozens of people came to Zhongxia Company, and the cartoonists wanted to feel the atmosphere of the cutting-edge comics, while the editors and other leaders planned to learn some experience from the carnival of Phoenix Company to see if there was any possibility of replication in the future.

"Qin Ya, are you holding a SLR in your hand?"

The highest position in Zhongxia Company is Wang Zhe. He saw Qin Ya holding a camera in his hand. So he asked out loud.

"Yes. Huaya GT-200, editor-in-chief, do you know? Qin Ya turned around and asked.

"Well, I understand a little bit." Wang Zhe is a little envious, a lens of this model of SLR is more than 30,000 Huaxia coins, and he can't afford to be a serious editor who goes to work and gets a salary: "Qin Ya, do you have any research on photography?" ”

"It's just a hobby." Qin Ya smiled and said, "I often take materials from everywhere, and I slowly play with the camera." ”

She is a very professional shoujo manga artist. The subject matter of shoujo manga is more realistic than that of shonen manga, so the requirements for social experience are also stricter. For example, some high-end cosmetics and clothing, the environment of various luxury hotel venues, etc., an ordinary girl does not understand these at all, and if she does not collect materials in life sufficiently, Qin Ya will easily be caught up by other cartoonists.

In addition to talent, her achievements are inseparable from hard work.

"That's right, can I ask you for something?" Wang Zhe's eyes lit up: "The company needs a lot of photos of the comic island, can you be a part-time photographer and take pictures everywhere?" ”

"This ...... Okay......" Qin Ya thought about it, that is, to take more photos. She agreed.

"We moved freely after landing on the island, and there didn't seem to be much activity on the morning of the first day of the carnival. Am I not mistaken? Wang Zhe turned around and asked a young editor.

The young man nodded: "Yes, there will be no official event this morning, there will be a manga artist signing in the afternoon, and then there will be a stage performance of voice actors in the evening." ”

The first morning of the carnival was a time for the audience to gather, and a group of people from the Zhongxia Company separated after they went to the island, Qin Ya and the two female cartoonists planned to go to breakfast first, but the few breakfast shops they passed by were overcrowded, and the tourists who had just arrived on the island were busy looking for food.

"There are so many people, there is no difference between here and the commercial street outside!"

"But no, if it weren't for these girls handing out flyers, I would have thought I was really shopping in the pedestrian street!"

The three of them lined up at the door of a steamed bun shop, this steamed bun shop had the fastest queue, Qin Ya took a camera and took a picture of some girls on the street who were handing out flyers, these girls were dressed very cute, wearing various cosplay clothes, causing passing tourists to pick up their mobile phones to take pictures, and some even took the initiative to ask for a group photo.

"These girls don't refuse to take pictures, they are professionally trained?"

"There is definitely training, but I guess it was originally some extroverted girls...... You can see that their smiles don't seem to come out of force, and they are not nervous at all when talking to tourists, this is not something that can be trained in a short time! ”

In the midst of small talk, they quickly bought breakfast and found a bench to sit down on the street.

"These buns are too unbearable to swallow...... Qin Ya looked at the buns with some surprise and said, the appearance of these buns is all kinds of elves: "Pokemon is really powerful, anything can be developed." ”

This is not the first time she has eaten Pokemon food, there were a lot of desserts and toys printed with pokemon patterns at the last celebration, this anime is very popular, and the shape is suitable for the development of various products, and the acceptance of tourists is quite high.

"Here's the flyer I just got, there's a store over there that sells all kinds of Pokemon merchandise, as well as card games, should we go over and check it out."

A female cartoonist handed the flyer to Qin Ya while eating steamed buns, Qin Ya took it, and her eyes immediately lit up, and the flyer was printed with a lot of Pokemon products. There are models, cards, tableware, and all sorts of other unique things that look very cute.

"Let's go check it out!" She hurriedly ate the bun in her hand, and then walked with her two companions to the Pokemon merchandise store.

When passing by a corner, the three of them found that many people were gathered in front of them, they curiously walked outside the crowd to take a look, and then exclaimed: ""Five centimeters per second"! ”

The place surrounded by the crowd is a cherry blossom tree, and under the cherry blossom tree are placed two character templates of equal height - Guishu and Mingli, the two heroes and heroines of "Five Centimeters per Second" stand with their backs to each other, for some reason, it's just paper film, but it gives people a vivid feeling.

"Woo ......"

This scene seems to remind some people of the sadness of "Five Centimeters per Second", which is destined to not be able to be in a relationship, and a junior high school girl cries softly.

"These two paper films are so beautiful, just like the real thing......"

"Look at the hint here, these two paper films were drawn by the teacher himself!"

"What a pity for the teacher!? No wonder it makes such a sense! ”

No one approached the two sheets, and a few young people in the crowd took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and then everyone took out their mobile phones and took pictures. But at this moment, the girl who was crying softly just now suddenly walked to the middle of the paper film and said to her companion, "Xiaoxi, help me take this picture." ”

She opened her hand and grabbed the paper film with each hand, and suddenly, the scene under the cherry blossom trees changed, and the participation of the tourists seemed to reconnect with each other.

"This ......", "Girl, well done!" ”

The people around applauded, they took the initiative to take a picture of the girl, and after her, another person walked in and was filmed doing the same action as the girl.

More people participated, and Qin Ya's companion also patted her shoulder excitedly: "Qin Ya, wait for me to go in too, you can take a picture for me." ”

"Okay." Qin Ya smiled and nodded, she looked at the lively crowd, looked at the two paper films under the cherry blossom tree, and felt strange in her heart.

"After so many years, romance comics and animations have emerged in endlessly, but why is "Five Centimeters per Second" still in everyone's hearts."

"5 Centimeters per Second", this is a manga full of legends, and the development of this manga is limited by too many factors - it does not have an animation, and the ending is tragic, and these two factors alone should be able to bury it in the cross-current of time. But it has created a miracle, and its popularity is still at its peak, and it is still known as a masterpiece in romance comics.

Qin Yachuang has a lot of girl comics, and there are many animations, she believes that her plot is no worse than "Five Centimeters per Second", but there is a world of difference in terms of praise from readers. The plot of "Five Centimeters per Second" is not complicated, and any cartoonist can draw it. But what is painted will only be a mediocre work of abuse, and it is impossible to create such a miracle as zào.

What's the secret to success?

"Drawing skills?" Qin Ya muttered to herself, but quickly shook her head again: "No...... It should be a soul, and "Five Centimeters per Second" is as if it has its own soul. ”

That's right, if the comic itself doesn't have a thought, a soul in it, no matter how good the drawing skills are, they can't move people's hearts. He Xi's success is not because of his excellent painting skills, but because he vividly depicts the soul of "Five Centimeters per Second", and can put a kind of soul into his works, which is the essential difference between He Xi and other cartoonists.

Qin Ya has also made progress in the past two years, but she has not yet succeeded in drawing such a comic......

"I still have a lot of work to do."

She sighed in her heart, but shook her head, there is a challenge to make progress, what a pity no matter how powerful it is, it will not be invincible!

After taking the photo, the three cartoonists continued to move towards the Pokemon merchandise shop, and on the way, a cartoonist asked Qin Ya, "What do you think of the manga island?" ”

"I was pleasantly surprised." Qin Ya looked ahead, there was a girl wearing Pikachu's doll costume handing out flyers, she raised her camera and took a picture, imprinted the pink cherry blossoms and yellow Pikachu in the photo, she smiled and said: "Change can be achieved overnight, Manga Island is just like this, it surprises me very much!" ”

She felt like she was in a foreign country on Manga Island, where the streets were filled with girls dressed in cosplay, dolls, and cat ears, and the shops selling delicate and cute products, and the people around her were all manga lovers, and you could hear these people talking about manga enthusiastically when passing by.

The event hadn't started yet, but Qin Ya was already very surprised. (To be continued......)
