Chapter 127: Ye is not short of money
As soon as the [Illustrator] process was completed and 1 point of drawing skill was rewarded, Meng Fan roughly calculated his original drawing skills, or the initial attributes, which should be at the level of 6-7.
Under Meng Fan's cognition, the value of painting skills is deduced, and above 6 can be said to be excellent, and above 10 can be called proficient.
Since the trigger of the [Illustrator] task, Meng Fan has drawn more than 900 illustrations, if his own drawing skills have not increased during this period, it is impossible, and an increase of one or two points is not too much.
Yixin, the editor of Penguin Animation Network, once said that Meng Fan's painting skills are top in the industry, which is in line with Meng Fan's "attribute value".
Now 3 points have been added, purely in terms of comic painting skills, there are absolutely only a handful of practitioners in the entire Chinese industry who are stronger than Meng Fan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are none.
+3 for setting and +3 for writers.
In the case of the former, Meng Fan still has the ability to deduce according to the numerical value, after all, he was already very strong in this setting.
After studying so much information, I have also built a fairly large gallery, in terms of characters, scenes, modeling, etc., I already have my own opinions and styles, which is definitely a professional level, and in some fields it can even be said to be the top level in the industry.
After deducing, Meng Fan came to the conclusion that his original setting ability should be around 8-9, which is higher than the initial attribute of his painting skills.
And this new 3 points made Meng Fan really proficient!
As for the screenwriter, Meng Fan really doesn't even have the ability to derive data.
It can't be said that he has no ability at all in screenwriting, but at most he is ordinary.
Of course, these so-called data deductions are only carried out by Meng Fan within the scope of his cognition, and the painting skills and settings dare to be said to have a quasi-number, but the rest of the words are really not counted.
However, Meng Fan took the script written by Xing Tage and looked at it, and he could still feel that the plot in his mind should be smoother, and the picture sense should be stronger and clearer.
Put down "Campus Love Finger Man", and then look at the beginning of "Underground Spirit", Meng Fan quickly made a preliminary adaptation of the beginning of the book in accordance with the script.
The plot of "There is a Spirit Underground" is originally very good, and it itself has a strong comic color, so it is not too difficult to adapt it after having these 3 screenwriting skills.
I took a look at it myself, and I was quite satisfied.
After carefully exploring the new attributes, combined with his current ability, Meng Fan felt that what Penguin Editor Yixin said was quite reasonable, and the most suitable for him at present was adaptation, and the ability to create a comic independently was there, but it would never be any stronger.
In addition, he has already agreed to the sleepy master, Meng Fan feels that it is still mainly about accumulating experience, don't be in a hurry to stabilize it, no matter how much he says that he has not graduated yet.
Comics are a lifelong thing, and it's not practical to want to be able to compete with those big names in the industry in one step.
directly sent a voice call to the sleepy man.
In terms of content, Meng Fan can be sure that he is also a comic book lover, and he can even be said to be a person who has his own opinions about comics, so he said that he wanted to participate in the adaptation, and Meng Fan did not regard him as a cross-border outsider.
The two chatted for more than an hour, and then the sleepy master sent the text plot he had prepared before to Meng Fan and continued to discuss.
Originally, I was looking for a scripter, but now it's saved, and it's considered to be a joint role between the two.
After chatting for more than two hours, during the chat, each other once again confirmed that the other party is a person who can and is suitable for cooperation, therefore, the sleepy master went to buy a ticket again, ready to come to Hangzhou, in addition to some details to be finalized in person again, there is a very important step, that is, the formal cooperation contract.
After chatting with the sleepy master, Meng Fan plunged into the plot, and at more than 2 o'clock in the morning, a word came out!
Then he sent it to the sleepy master, and the sleepy master quickly replied: "It's a word to hold the sun, it's too strong, your hand speed!"
Meng Fan: "Hehe, didn't you say you were going to sleep at ten o'clock?
The sleepy man didn't reply.
The reason why I was able to draw a sentence so quickly, of course, is related to the previous illustrations for "There Are Spirits Underground", the character design or something, it has been decided a long time ago, and there is no need for Meng Fan to spend time thinking about it, even many scenes have been drawn, and even some of the illustrations can be directly used as comic content.
In the afternoon of the next day, Meng Fan received a trip from Wu Tong, but he did not fly back to Hangzhou directly from Hong Kong, but had to go back to his home in Shanghai first.
Meng Fan thought that Wu Tong was homesick, or that he had bought some gifts for his family in HK, so he naturally didn't think much about it, and even if he thought about it, he would never have thought that Wu Tong would go home to tell his family that Liang Qing wanted to recognize her as his goddaughter.
When Wu Tong sent WeChat again to say that he had landed in Shanghai, Meng Fan had already met the sleepy man from Shanghai.
"Are you losing weight again?"
"Don't come to these vains, do you think I'll be happy to say that, hahaha. ”
The two had already met, but there was not so much strangeness, and it didn't take a few words to reach peace> Meng Fan still did his best to be a landlord, took the sleepy master to visit the art academy, and then went to the waterfront restaurant and asked for a private room.
The sleepy man took out the contract and power of attorney that had been prepared from his bag, and said, "I have prepared the contract and power of attorney for you a long time ago, you take a look at it first, and then we will talk slowly." ”
Meng Fan looked very carefully and seriously, and only finished reading the dishes when they were all ready.
"The right to adapt the comics, I grant it to you. You can get all the rights and interests related to comics. For example, you take half of the subscription share obtained from the comic serialization. Alternatively, you can forgo the subscription share and I'll give you double the market price. ”
“...... All copyrights derived from the manga belong to me, but you can get a corresponding revenue share. For example, comic publishing, which is basically the fruit of your labor, so you get 70% of the royalty, I take 30%, comic animation and film and television, etc., because there are many other links in between, so only 10% of the money gets to you......"
The contract of the sleepy master is basically in accordance with the basic process of adapting comics on the Internet, but because the copyright is in his own hands, the proportion can be adjusted, and it is adjusted in the direction of Meng Fan's favor. For example, publishing royalties, basically the adaptation of the cartoonist can get 3 achievements is amazing, but here it is over.
As for other copyright income, basically it has nothing to do with Meng Fan as Party B, and Party A will wrap a red envelope if it is better, or let Party B participate in the production of animation, which is equivalent to one more opportunity for work.
After all, it's an authorization!
"That's probably it, if it's okay, you can take the contract back, it's best to find a professional to review it and then sign it, sign it and send it to me. ”
"As long as you can give me the script on time, nothing else is a problem. ”
Meng Fan still has a little understanding of this adaptation, it is basically impossible to adapt others and want copyright, and the contract of the sleepy master is basically a typical "master is not bad for money", there is no reason not to sign it.
Of course, Meng Fan didn't sign the contract for money, who is not a master.
