Just when Zhao Qian was living a small life leisurely, a bombshell blew up the entire online literature circle.

"Perfect acquisition of Baidu Literature, and successfully completed the first round of financing, with a valuation of 4 billion, and plans to go public next year!"

Although the title is not as eye-catching as UC body, this news still directly hit the headlines, whether it is Longkong or Weibo, it is not unwanted.

When Zhao Qian saw this news, his face was strange.

It's quite interesting to say, in 08, Perfect founded the Yellow Chinese Network, poached a large number of large, medium and small gods from Qihang, and then sold to Baidu for 191.5 million soft girl coins in 13 years, and bought it back from Baidu for 1.2 billion this year, but the price increased six times.

This kind of operation is really incomprehensible.

Of course, what Perfect bought from Baidu is not only from the Yellow Network, but also from its literary websites such as Panda Reading and Baidu Books, which have become "Conghuang Literature" after integration.

Among them, who earns and who loses, this is only known to the parties.

After buying Baidu Literature, Perfect immediately carried out financing, and successfully raised 800 million soft girl coins in the first round, with a valuation of up to 4 billion soft girl coins, which is surprising.

After Baidu sold Baidu Literature, it also officially announced its withdrawal from the online literature industry. Of the three giants of BAT, there are only two penguins and Ali left. It's just that Ali's "big move" has been shouted since 14 years ago, and there is no trace of it, and it is estimated that it is almost yellow.

However, in the past two years, Zhangyue Book City has done a good job, and sub-websites have opened one after another, and through various bombardment propaganda, vigorously received manuscripts, and have been successfully listed for money.

Judging from the current situation, the online literature industry still occupies the dominant pattern. Set sail with the back of the penguin, the strength is strong, the position as the industry leader is unshakable, the palm reading is thriving, Ali has been preparing for a big move, although the digital station is in the twilight, but it is a bad ship, and there are other large and small websites, which are also constantly moving.

For a long time in the future, it is estimated that the storm will be surging again.

However, for ordinary writers, it is not necessarily a good thing, in the final analysis, it is better to improve the basic welfare, say a thousand ways and ten thousand, it is better to increase the full attendance.

It doesn't matter if you are a god of online literature like Zhao Qian, you can do whatever you like, at least for now, Qihang is still the most reliable one, after all, the channel is strong.

Therefore, after reading this news, I no longer pay attention to it.

"Love letter, Penguin Animation has news that the comics of the loser boy and the urban immortal cultivator have been established, and a few character drawings have been passed over, asking what you think. ”

Zhao Qian was coding words, and a message popped up.

It was not the urban editor in charge of Qingsong who said this, but Hua Ya, the editor of the copyright department. In the future, she will contact Zhao Qian for copyright matters.

Immediately, two folders of compressed packages were sent.,Inside are all anime character drawings.。

"Huh?!"

After Zhao Qian decompressed, he saw the high-definition character pictures, and his brows furrowed inadvertently.

To be honest,The style of painting is quite rigorous.,It's just that he doesn't like this style of painting very much.,Individual people are also a little dissatisfied.,There's no feeling like the original at all.。

In his own book, he knows better than anyone else the character design of the protagonist and the heroine!

Character setting, referred to as character design. It is usually necessary to draw the head of the character, the front, back, and sides of the character from multiple different angles, and sometimes include the closed lines and hairstyle of the character, the different styles of clothing style, the height comparison with other characters, and the small ornaments worn, as well as details such as the character's eyes and expressions.

Well, science popularization is over!

Zhao Qian will also do it, he has drawn Chen Beixuan's character design before, compared with the one that is passed on by the penguin now, I don't know how much better it looks!

Therefore, seeing the character design given by Penguin Animation, Zhao Qian was a little unhappy.

He said to Hua Ya: "That's it, I'll draw two or more first drafts, and you can help me send them to Penguin Animation later." ”

He didn't say that he was not satisfied, but he believed that Hua Ya would understand.

Zhao Qian has mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, and when he sees something he is not satisfied with, he is unhappy in his heart, so he naturally wants to revise it. Before, because of the relationship between code words, I didn't have much time to play with the pen tablet, so I just took this opportunity to make so many of my own characters.

When Hua Ya saw this reply, she couldn't help but be stunned, what does this mean?

But Zhao Qian just said such a sentence, and didn't say anything else.

Zhao Qian, who was sitting in front of the computer, didn't code anymore, took out his pen tablet that was about to pile up dust, and began to draw characters.

At present, the price of domestic newcomer color comics is about 200~400/P,Comics are calculated by the number of pages,A word is generally 16~2** like this。 The price of well-known painters will be a little higher, and it is not surprising that 1000 yuan/P is not surprising, and there are top and bottom layers in any industry.

Although Zhao Qian is very confident in his painting work, he really hasn't thought about it when he paints to make money, and he feels that it is more troublesome to get than writing, and it is still simple to write. If the reader is not satisfied, all kinds of blades are swishing, and they can sell the blades to the hardware store, and they can also make a sum of money backhanded.

As for comics, it's better to be a hobby.,I've turned codewords from a hobby to a career.,Don't spoil other hobbies.。

For example, if you have time to draw a picture book or something, hehehehe.

Isn't there a lot of wives in the dead house.,Then I'll draw more of your wife's book.,The protagonist is not your kind.。

Well, your wife is awesome!

Here, Zhao Qian is seriously drawing the character design, and the copyright editor Hua Ya has contacted the person in charge of Penguin Animation.

"Love letters don't seem to be very satisfying. Hua Ya pondered and replied.

The other side asked strangely, "What are you not satisfied with?"

Hua Ya: "He didn't say it, he said he wanted to draw a few first drafts for you to see." ”

The expression of the person in charge of "???" Penguin Anime is like this.

Wait, are you mistaken?

Is the author responsible for drawing the character?

Could it be that this author is still not able to study painting at the same time?

This is the rhythm of competing for jobs with the majority of cartoonists!

Generally, manga artists work with screenwriters, and after negotiating a split, the screenwriter is responsible for writing the story and the cartoonist is responsible for drawing. Of course, it's not that there are no artists who create their own plots and draw their own paintings, but there are few.

The person in charge laughed, well, I'd like to see what you can draw.

Zhao Qian spent the whole afternoon and evening painting. Fortunately, he had drawn relevant characters before, so it didn't take much time, and some other problems were not big, he just simply repaired the original picture.

This efficiency is simply better than other artists!

Zhao Qian put the sorted pictures into the folder, compressed them and sent them to Hua Ya: "I won't accept them for the money, you let the people over there draw according to the people I gave!"

The protagonist and supporting roles in this, more than a dozen character designs, thousands of dollars!

After Hua Ya received the document, she opened it and read it, and after making sure that there was no problem, she sent it to the person in charge of Penguin Animation.

After the other party received the document, he didn't think so at first, but when he opened the file, clicked on the picture, and saw the character image on the screen clearly, his eyes widened.

This......

Judging from his more than ten years in the industry, he can naturally see the level of the author of the work, which is why he is so surprised.

You know, that guy is a writer, not a professional cartoonist!

Scratching my chin, I have to say that this writer really has some skills. Okay, let's use you as the original art!

The penguins agreed. ”

Hua Ya informed Zhao Qian of the news, and she couldn't help but be surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that the other party would really agree to this kind of request.

Could it be that Zhao Qian's level is higher than that of the painters on the penguin's side?

She was a little unconvinced.

Zhao Qian replied: "Well, I know, it's troublesome Miss Huaya." ”

Hua Ya's face darkened, this guy ......

But when I saw the character folder on the desktop, I couldn't help but click on it to see, and after seeing it clearly, I was stunned for a while.

It seems that it is really better than the original drawing......

Zhao Qian just smiled at this, it was just a small hobby, calm, calm!

At this time, Wang Huan also came with a message.

said: "My "Very Pure and Ambiguous" company has successfully established a project, you can help me adapt it into a script." ”
