Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?

Chapter 372 I understand... I understand...

"Nobukata, you draw well!" Oda Shingo gave Nobukata great encouragement and highly praised his enthusiasm.

Nobukata was very excited and kept bowing to respond to "Hi", just like a lower-level samurai praised by the daimyo.

Oda Shingo even felt like he was the great devil Oda, and he could hold his head like a drum and beat it at will in front of his subordinates, enjoying the treatment of the ceiling of human subjects.

However, in order to prevent being attacked by people in Honnoji, he did not do such excessive things.

"It's just that the first draft of this comic was not favored by the editor, right?" Oda Shingo said slowly after praising.

Nobukata nodded his head desperately: "Yes, yes, I am very confused about this. I feel that I have drawn it very seriously. The editor and even Director Takano have also seen it, but they still feel that it is not satisfactory enough."

"What did they say?"

"They can't explain it clearly. They just think that the level is good, but not exciting enough. They always feel that something is wrong."

Nobukata is very distressed.

I also found problems with the manuscripts I drew recently, but like the editor, I can't explain it clearly.

"Hehe, as expected, there is indeed something wrong." Oda Nobuo laughed.

Seeing Oda Nobuo laugh, Nobukata felt much more at ease. Obviously, the other party had already seen the problem with his comics.

"I personally think that the plot of the comic "Peacock King" is full of ups and downs and suspense. Readers seem to be attracted, but this is also your problem."

Nobukata immediately sat up straight, with an attitude of listening to teachings.

He knew that this was the real drama.

Getting a hundred compliments is not as valuable as listening to a master pointing out a mistake! This is a benefit that will benefit you for a lifetime!

He wanted to take his ears off and clean them inside and out, and then listen to the teachings of the great devil in the comics world.

Oda Shingo tapped his fingers on the draft: "Look, in just one episode, you set up three suspense, so the focus of your drawing is slightly offset."

"Offset..." Nobukata was a little confused.

Drawing comics by himself is always not popular with readers. Even if he immediately learns from the popular comics, especially from Mr. Oda Shingo, he still fails again and again, and can only rely on being an assistant to make a living.

Could it be that he didn't understand the offset?

"First, let's determine a foothold. Nobukata, what do you think is the biggest attraction of "Peacock King" to readers?"

"... I think it should be mythology and strange stories."

"Yes." Oda Shingo nodded, "The combination of city and mythology, showing the endless conflicts between mythological content and modern times, is its best core. As for the bursting clothes of female characters..."

Oda Shingo paused here.

Nobukata waited for a moment, realizing that the teacher wanted him to answer.

"I think it should be a gimmick to attract readers."

"That's right! You have already noticed these two points, but you habitually changed when expressing them." Oda Nobuo felt that he was a teachable child, "You described a very complicated plot, which will distract the readers."

Oda Nobuo paused here to let Nobukata digest the concept.

"Distraction..." Nobukata chewed on this word, and seemed to have some feeling, but he didn't understand anything.

"Before you reach the level of a great god, you can't chew too much. You always want to make the plot complicated, but it makes readers feel tired."

"Readers are tired..."

"That's right! Many times, using force to overcome cleverness is the simplest method! Especially when you use the explosion of women's clothes as a gimmick and let gods, ghosts, monsters and monsters wreak havoc in the city, readers don't need a very complicated plot, nor do they need a multi-threaded story. They just need the simplest way to overcome cleverness."

A dazzling light suddenly shot into the world that was covered with dark clouds. Nobukata suddenly seemed to have caught hope: "Ah! I seem to understand a little bit! You, you mean..."

"As long as a new cartoonist can bring out the best advantages of his comic, he will be successful! Don't try to be comprehensive. Not every comic needs good details, good character settings and good plots!" Oda Shingo clenched his fist and waved it in the air, as if to disperse the dark clouds over Nobukata.

Nobukata has begun to bend down subconsciously, humbly looking up at Oda Shingo, like a devout believer.

He felt that what the other party said was the most critical formula to allow him to break through the shackles!

"What "Peacock King" needs is a fast-paced substitution of mythology into the urban world, without too many details, character settings and plots!"

"Draw the beautiful women's clothes bursting! Draw the monsters rampaging! Draw the retribution of mortals' greed and the humbleness of fear!"

"Only in this way can "Peacock King" be drawn well! It is "Peacock King"! It is "Peacock King"!"

Oda Shingo is like a wise man who preaches the scriptures and sends the way, and he just needs to open his arms to declare his greatness.

"Thank you very much for Mr. Oda's teachings! I have learned from you!" Shingo kowtowed to the ground.

Yes! Why did I always think about various perfections before? I always thought that the plot should be tortuous, the plot should be ups and downs, the character settings should be full, and the details should be moving...

These are useless for beginners like me. The key is the fast-paced city of gods and ghosts, supplemented by beautiful women bursting clothes, so that readers can enjoy it!

As the saying goes: It is better to master one skill than to master a hundred trades!

Some people also say: One trick is enough to conquer the world!

There is also a mama-san who said: If you raise a good pussy, you will attract hundreds of birds...

Nobukata laid his hands on the tatami, with his forehead against the board, and did not lift his head for a long time: "Thank you so much for your advice!!!"

Oda Shingo also taught some techniques, each of which made Nobukata feel like he had found a treasure.

This can be attributed to the master-apprentice system of Japanese comics. Many cartoonists just explore on their own, and then learn some professional knowledge and general theories, at most they learn some in college, but the most critical practical experience is difficult to obtain.

Although there are also charging methods such as online teaching, the teachers are originally people with no level or bragging level, so it is conceivable what good things they can teach.

Therefore, people like Oda Shingo, who have the background of industry bigwigs, are very sharp in some of the problems pointed out by Nobukata.

For example, he gave some instructions on the details of some female paintings, especially avoiding some key cherry positions.

The original Ogino Makoto's cherry painting method was criticized, and now Oda Shingo has made up for it with the latest painting method in 2024, ensuring the perfect combination of the book's skills in the classic masterpiece.

I hope no reader will rush himself to death...

Oda Shingo finished teaching, ate and drank a little, and then said goodbye.

Nobukata thanked him profusely, muttering in his mouth: "I understand... I understand... I really understand..."

Oda Shingo looked at him: "Come on!"

In the car arranged by Takano Ran to send the four people home, he was shocked to find that Fujido Kao was also mumbling something.

Did Takano Ran teach her some weird theory? Oda Shingo was curious: "What are you whispering?"

"I understand... I understand... Hey, don't sit too close to me!" Fujido Kao deliberately sat a little further away from Oda Shingo.

Oda Shingo: "???"
