"I see."
After looking at Fangzheng's drawing, Yamada nodded.
"Indeed, just like what you said, Mr. Fangzheng. The drawing is beautiful, but there's no life … To be honest, I think that even Black Cat can draw better than her."
"Stop scolding. Let's talk business."
Fangzheng glanced at Mashiro and coughed. He wanted to change the topic, but Yamada became excited instead.
"But you don't say, Mr. Fangzheng. It's really rare to see someone like her! After all, most people can't do this even if they want to! "
"Hmm? Oh … Indeed, you're not wrong to say that. "
Hearing Yamada's words, Fangzheng was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately understood what she meant.
Indeed, just like what Yamada said, an artist like Mashiro could be said to be 'one in a million' in the manga world.
The reason was simple. In the manga world, although many manga artists would make the mistake of drawing Mashiro in the beginning, their standards were very low, so naturally, their drawings wouldn't be too beautiful. It could be said that Mashiro's drawing skills matched with Mashiro's character design, so of course, there wouldn't be a market for such things.
However, Mashiro was the exact opposite. She had Mo's soulful character design coupled with her sky-breaking drawing skills, which gave off a powerful contrast. It was rare to see such a freak in a manga festival, so it was no wonder that Yamada looked at Mashiro as if she had seen a rare animal.
Just like what Yamada said, not everyone could have this kind of ability.
"I have a very good idea!"
At this moment, Yamada slammed the table excitedly and jumped up.
"I thought of a good story!"
"Oh? What story? "
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng's interest was piqued. As for Shiina Mashiro, she silently adjusted her sitting posture and looked at her.
"Yes, the story is like this. Listen carefully!"
Yamada was so excited that she began to dance with joy. Then, she began to lecture the two of them.
"The main character of the story is a high school boy, but he's a playboy. Because of his family's misfortune, his parents divorced. This playboy doesn't believe in love. To him, love is just a toy, so he roams around with various women. But in fact, he feels that his life is like an empty shell, and those women are just products of his thrill seeking."
"Yes, yes, yes, and then?"
"Then, this playboy woke up one day and found that the whole world was asleep! He couldn't wake them up! Everyone fell into a state similar to hibernation! Then, this playboy can naturally start doing whatever he wants! "
"That's it?"
Hearing until here, Fangzheng instantly curled his lips, while Yamada clapped her hands Yamada.
"What follows next is key. Listen up, Mr. Fangzheng! At first, this playboy did whatever he wanted, but he soon got sick of it. But one day, when he went to a convenience store to look for food, this playboy saw a convenience store worker. Of course, that worker also fell into a state of hibernation. Then, the playboy realized that this worker was just like him, an empty shell. So, he became interested in this worker and brought her back to his home! But what the playboy didn't expect was that after he did that to her, she actually moved! "
"Oh? Then? That worker woke up? "
This plot twist was very interesting.
"No, no, no."
Yamada immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum.
"It's no longer interesting when she wakes up. In fact, the young lady was in a state similar to sleepwalking. Of course, the Playboy didn't care about her at first. But what the Playboy didn't expect was that the young lady in a sleepwalking state was different from other people in hibernation. She needed to eat and drink, so he had no choice but to take care of her. Then, the Playboy was gradually attracted to her and felt the true meaning of love …"
"I see, so that's how it is! As expected of a racial talent! "
Hearing this, Fangzheng also came to a sudden realization. He immediately slapped the table and praised.
As everyone knew, Japan had always been the best in the world in terms of small movies, especially in Asia. But in fact, the original adult industry in Japan wasn't like the so-called "Shibuya Women Amateur AVI". Instead, it had a rich meaning.
Especially in the 1980s and 1990s, although Japanese small movies and adult cartoons at that time were in the name of serving the audience, they would use this to explain some social problems and phenomena, and also reflect on them. It could be said that even if a Japanese movie was made at that time, the issue of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be interspersed with social thoughts and human nature discussions of the destruction of women by feudal conservative culture. It could be said that this was the racial talent of the Japanese.
It could be said that whether it was small movies or cartoons in Japan at that time, they were both obscure and profound, completely different from those that were simply made for films later. They were filled with questions about society, the dark side of human nature in modern society, the conflict and reflection between morality and lust, and the depth was far from what those small movies of the future could compare to.
But it was a pity that as society developed, everything was in line with the consumption of fast food. The racial talent that the Japanese were proud of in the past was replaced by simple small movies that were more like fast food … Yes, from a certain perspective, this was rather disappointing.
For example, the short synopsis of the script that Yamada proposed revealed a lot of social issues, such as the impact of parents' divorce on children and the confusion of the younger generation in Japanese society. If one were to dig deeper, there would be a lot of things to be found.
And this story was indeed very suitable for Shibuya's exquisite style because according to Yamada's setting, the male lead was just an empty shell, while the others fell into a deep hibernation, which was just right for Shibuya's style. But …
"The conflict of the story is the key."
Fangzheng knitted his brows and pondered carefully. Although there was no problem with Shibuya at the beginning of the story, it wouldn't be the case later on. After all, according to Yamada, this was the process of the main character gradually growing up, which was the story of an empty shell gradually becoming a human. With Shibuya's current style, drawing an empty shell wasn't a problem, but whether or not she could draw the growth process was another matter.
"I can't do anything about that."
Yamada spread her hands helplessly. She was only a light novelist, after all, and not a manga artist, so this was all she could give. When it came to drawing itself, there was nothing she could do. If she knew how to draw, she wouldn't have asked Risa to help her with the illustrations.
"No matter what, I still have to thank you. As expected of a talented light novelist. You're so different from the masses. Amazing, amazing."
Fangzheng gave Yamada a thumbs up, and the latter smiled proudly.
"Oh, hehehehe, of course, don't you know who this lady is? I'm the popular light novelist, Yamada Minx!"
Although it was a little narcissistic, Fangzheng agreed with Yamada Minx's words. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Yamada Minx was a popular light novelist, he would have invited her to join his new company to create erotic games. After all, if Yamada Minx was willing to join, Fangzheng's new company would have all the problems except for the voice actress.
Of course, with Yamada Minx's strength, she didn't even need a voice actress. She could just create the game directly. After all, there were plenty of erotic games without a voice actress that relied solely on graphics and text. For example, the three greatest works of Doujinshi, "Moon Belle" and "Cicada Cry" were examples. If Yamada Minx was willing to join, Fangzheng was confident that he could create one of the three greatest works of Doujinshi in this world.
Unfortunately, Yamada Minx was already famous, so of course, it was impossible for her to create erotic games.
Sigh. It's so hard to find someone who has potential, isn't famous, and likes to write erotic games.
Regardless, she had pointed out a path for him. As for Fangzheng, after thanking the demoness, he left with Mashiro.
"… That's great."
On the way home, Mashiro couldn't help but comment. Fangzheng turned around and saw Mashiro gazing ahead in silence. Her eyes revealed unprecedented envy and longing.
In terms of honor and status, Mashiro was much higher than Yamada Minx. After all, Yamada Minx was a popular light novelist in Japan, while Mashiro was a world-renowned painter. But in terms of creativity, Mashiro was obviously inferior to Yamada Minx. After all, Yamada Minx immediately came up with an attractive story outline in less than five minutes after seeing Mashiro's drawings. On the other hand, Mashiro couldn't grasp the gist of it after racking her brains for a long time … Everyone had their own strengths.
By the way, the story of the experienced manga artist and innocent photographer that Yamada Minx told Fangzheng had started to be serialized and received a great response. The company had even sent someone to discuss with her about animating the story. This went to show that Yamada Minx's creativity wasn't to be belittled.
It was especially so when one considered that she came up with the idea after hearing Fangzheng's words.
It also went to show that for some people, inspiration was the key to inspiration.
Inspiration was something that was sold in bulk by the kilogram. They had so much that they couldn't use it all up. They just gave it away.
However, for some people, it was probably not enough to be counted in milligrams.
Shiina Mashiro loved manga and longed to create her own world. In the end, she couldn't find any clues. On the other hand, Yamada Minx casually gave her an idea and didn't feel like it was a waste at all. Because she could find more.
"Fangzheng."
At this moment, Mashiro seemed to have made up her mind. She lifted her head and looked at him.
"Can you go on a date with me tomorrow?"
"Of course."
This wasn't a problem for the Time Dragon.
In terms of time management, Fangzheng was a professional.
