Chapter Thirty-Eight: King Kong, the Transfigurative Autobot
Emmanuel chatted with Lold and Eastman, walked out of the Asuka comic studio, and took the elevator to the fourth floor.
"Good morning, beauties!
After passing the assistant desk, Emmanuel greeted the assistant beauty, to say that the most attractive place in the company is the assistant desk, except for the men, there are a bunch of girls, which makes Emmanuel dazzled.
"Good morning, Mr. Emmanuel!
didn't care about the subtle wolf look in Emmanuel's eyes, but instead showed his arrogant figure and replied with a clever smile;
Emmanuel shook her chubby body and leaned on the assistant desk, chatting with a group of assistant beauties, and after a while, a group of beauties laughed.
After chatting for a while, Emmanuel pointed to the office and asked, "Is Lester in there?"
He hadn't seen him for two days, and he had heard that he would stay inside to create works whenever he had time, and Emmanuel knew it was "Transformers" when he heard it.
"The owner didn't go back to rest last night...... The chief assistant reminded, and said with a worried look on his face: You better go in and have a look.
Emmanuel frowned slightly, said goodbye to the assistant beauties, and walked into the office.
In the office,
On the desk, there are more than a dozen A4 drawings, each drawing has a Transformers model, and some A4 drawings draw sports car models.
Scattered A4 drawings of Transformers were scattered around the desk, some of which were caught in a clip for comparison.
The trash can under the table is placed with the finished cup noodles, and the cups are stacked on top of each other, and at first glance, you don't know how much you have eaten.
In the United States, there is no such thing as instant noodles, only cup noodles, Lester ate this cup of noodles when he was hungry for the past two days, and he painted the Transformers in his memory and scribbled and changed them many times.
Emmanuel walked into the office and saw A4 drawings of Transformers scattered, cup noodles after eating, and of course, Lester with red-eyed eyes.
Oh! It's time for you to get some rest.
Emmanuel picked up an A4 drawing on the ground with Transformers, the character model on it made him feel very powerful, the painting was neat, the characters were amazing, and the director had a bit of work to do because he wanted to make the story version, and he looked up and saw the red eyeliner in Lester's eyes, and said with concern; You haven't slept all night. ”
After drawing the last character model, Lester put away the pen, got up and rubbed his sore shoulders and hands, and looked at the "Transformers" character model drawings that came out of his hands, and his heart was very excited.
Hearing Emmanuel's words, Lester shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm very excited at the moment, I have drawn what I want." ”
There are only character models, and it seems that you can't make a comic! Emmanuel shook the drawing of the character model in his hand and gestured to Leicester Road;
"Of course not, so I wrote the plot for them," Lester picked up a notebook from his desk and placed it in front of Emmanuel, with handwriting on it.
Emmanuel's eyes lit up slightly, and for the works written by Lester, which were generally very popular, he hurriedly put down the drawings in his hand, picked up the book nailed with staples, and looked at it.
In the book!
The story of the war between the Autobots led by Optimus Prime and the Decepticons led by Megatron (McGardenen). The story of Optimus Prime's successor, the Celestial Warrior and the Shocking Sky (Megatron who was restored and transformed by the Emperor of the Universe) each led their respective arms to fight for their faith.
Movie: "It tells the story of the process of the transfer of power between the Celestial Mending and Optimus Prime, and the deeds of all the Transformers working together to destroy the Emperor of the Universe."
In a book, the movie script, the animation plot and the comic plot are vividly written, and Emmanuel sees it very picturesquely.
Although the three versions of the story are the same, the plot direction is different, Lester did not make "Transformers" like at the beginning of the previous life, the child company made people mistakenly think that it was various robots that can transform, but made him a superhero.
Emmanuel feels like he's looking at superheroes, but these superheroes are framed by robots.
"Very good story, except it looks a bit like a child's toy," Emmanuel said, putting down his notebook, picking up the drawings again, and looking at the character models;
"Sort of," Lester nodded, agreeing with Emmanuel's point of view, thinking of the copyright issue, he picked up the drawings on the desktop and underground, and said to Emmanuel: "The creative copyright of "Transformers" is in the hands of RBTAKARA toy manufacturers, we need to buy the rights in the United States, and now we can register the copyright of these paintings with the same name, just like "Sherlock Holmes", after all, ours is different from their "Transformers". ”
The Transformers in the hands of TAKARA toy manufacturers is still a human-controlled mecha in terms of setting, similar to the fighting mechs in the Gundam and Macross series, but it is still just a combat tool.
Leicester used to be the foundation, giving them a soul and life, originally given by the toy manufacturer Hasbro, but now Lester has opened up a new look, turning into an autonomous car robot.
Emmanuel helped Lester sort out the drawings, walked out of Bird Film and Television together, took a car to the copyright union, and successfully registered the copyright of the American version of "Transformers" after a long conversation.
The copyright registration was successful, and Lester breathed a sigh of relief, but the idea of "Transformers" was still held in the hands of TAKARA toy manufacturers, and he still needed to go to RB and buy the idea of the American version of "Transformers" from them, otherwise he would be sued and would still be entangled in creative disputes.
Lester and Emmanuel return to Bird Films and come to the comic studio.
The staff in the manga studio are not as busy as they are in the morning, but there are also calls from the manga store to order "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
Walking into the Bird Comics, there was no longer the hum of the motor that made Emmanuel feel like an airplane taking off.
"Boss, you're finally out. Chris saw the two men come in, and stepped forward to Lester and said;
Yesterday, Chris wanted to report the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to Lester, and after being told by his assistant that Lester forbade others to go in and disturb his creation, Chris had to put the report aside and be busy with the "Transformers" sent to major comic stores.
Lester nodded, looked around and asked, "How's the sales?" ”
"Sales are very good, a total of nine million copies of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles manga have been sold, and sales are still rising," Chris said with a blushing face when he heard Lester ask about the data;
The first comic sold out, and Chris was so excited.
