"What are you ......" Li Jing was suddenly puzzled.

Jiang took a moment before he lifted up, his face filled with a sense of happiness that he had never seen before.

"Thank you, Boss. ”

Li Jing was stunned, "Thank me for what?"

He didn't understand why these people suddenly bowed, why they suddenly thanked him. But he could feel the sincerity of these people.

"The boss writes books and may not be aware of the current state of our comic industry. It's the first time we've seen someone like you, Boss, who attaches so much importance to comics. Jiang Meng had already wiped away her tears.

"Yes, we were at school, and people knew that we were drawing comics, and we were always sneering. ”

"Especially Mengmeng, she is in the oil painting department, and her classmates and even roommates look down on her because of this. ”

As Jiang Meng spoke, others began to gossip, and Li Jing was also very curious about why these authors who created comics had such a big grudge and were so easily moved.

Soon, they began to chat warmly, more than a dozen people, around a large table, like a class reunion, complaining to each other.

Li Jing figured it out at this time.

Compared with Japanese comics, the development of the comic industry in China is extremely slow. It's not because no one draws comics, but because of many objective factors, the group of comic book authors has been discriminated against a lot for a long time.

The first reason is the contempt of the Chinese people.

It's funny to say, while people are chasing the weekly changes of Riman, they have to keep complaining about the people around them who are creating comics, as if they are afraid that they will tarnish the word comics. What's even more infuriating is that these people who complain don't think that comics are sacred and want to maintain them, but look down on them. While chasing and looking down, Li Jing can't understand such emotions now.

The second reason is actually caused by the general environment.

The reason why Japanese comics can flourish is because Dongying Kingdom has a precise positioning for comics, what age group will read what comics, and what peripherals to launch. These are common in Dongying, but they are different in China.

First of all, the Chinese government did not recognize comics, but just allowed them to grow wildly, and cartoonists were not even classified into the national professional system. Coupled with the development of the game industry in recent years, as well as the rapid development of the film and television industry, the earning power of the comic industry has been pushed to the forefront in an instant.

If you study fine arts, open an exhibition if you learn well, and become a painter, this is like writing novels, and you have taken the path of an orthodox writer from the beginning. There is a direction of specialization, helping the game, film and television industry to draw original paintings, and even illustrations, which comes quickly and has a strong ability to attract money.

At this time, an industry like comics, which takes a long time and does not necessarily make money, will naturally be disliked by many people.

Take Jiang Meng as an example, in the oil painting department, when others knew that she drew comics, they instantly felt a level higher than her, and they looked at him with a condescending attitude. In such a situation, even if Li Jing didn't know it, he could guess how much the other party had suffered a lot of stares and ridicule.

Li Jing is a realist.

When Jiang Meng and others were telling him, telling about the difficulty of comic book authors, and about the difficulties of this industry, the information he heard was not this.

There are too few people.

That's right, after listening to everyone, the first thing he came to the message that he thought was important was that there were too few people.

The author of the comic strip is not like the author of the online literature, first of all, on the threshold of entry, it is necessary to go up a ladder, if it is in line with such a market situation, the consequence will inevitably be that there are too few practitioners.

In his vision, with the Chinese literature APP as a link, the two IP sources of novels and comics are connected and complement each other, so that a closed loop of entertainment can be slowly formed.

In other words, he must now start working on the recruitment of comic book authors.

He now has a large number of works in his hands, and even after losing a large number of copyrights on Literature Online, he still has a large number of copyrights for his works. And as far as the manga itself is concerned, he also has the ability to make original comics.

This means that this Tianwang comic studio needs a large number of people in the work that will start immediately.

Before, he and Zhang Yi had a headache and recruited too many people, and the cost was high. But now that he thinks about it, he realizes that there are not enough people.

"Slowly, do you have any ideas for the studio recruitment?" Li Jing asked slowly about Landing.

Lu was slowly asked by him, a little confused. is indeed a little confused, after all, she has only just started to contact this piece of work, and it is not easy to get the office location in such a short time and start to form a team.

If the whole working procedure is a hundred system, then Lu has now taken the first step, and it is very steady. But Li Jing now suddenly put a fifteen progress in front of her, and it is not strange that he is not stunned.

Everyone looked at Li Jing, and then looked at Lu slowly, seeing that the latter didn't know what to say, the righteous Yao Feifei immediately said: "If you still need people, I can help the company recruit people in our exchange group, there should be people interested." ”

An idea. Li Jing said in his heart.

"If you have enough money, you can set up a comic contest with a sum of money, so that you can find some authors with good abilities and recruit them directly into the company. ”

"You can also work with schools to train comic book writers through apprenticeships. In this way, the focus is on stability, so you don't have to worry about no one. ”

Li Jing was surprised, he didn't expect Jiang Meng, who seemed to be introverted, to come up with such an idea. Looking at what she said, she was still a little stumbling, obviously just came up with it.

This reminded him of a social research topic called "Introverts are naturally good managers".

Before, he scoffed at these frivolous social studies, but now, he was shocked.

Maybe the study is right, introverts have more time to think about problems, and they like to dig into the horns, and they must think through the problems, isn't it suitable for management?

Looking at the time, they didn't have enough time to come to the mountain city, they had to come back on the same day, he still had a lot of things to do in Rongdu, Zhang Yi was even busier, the press conference was about to start, and there were a lot of preparations to be made.

After arranging Yao Feifei and the others, he asked Jiang Meng to follow Lu slowly all the way to the office. They want to make some arrangements for the next work, which is not so abstract as just said outside, but directly arranges the next specific work.

"During this time, recruitment and work are carried out at the same time. Recruitment of people here is mainly Lu slowly responsible, it is very likely to find some basic cutting-edge to join, we mainly do mobile terminals, and the PC side does not conflict, should be able to recruit a batch of first. ”

"Then the cute lord is on your side.,Organize them to start comic changes immediately.,The list will be sent to you slowly in a while.。 At this stage, I don't make original comics, it takes too long, and I'll talk about it after this time. Then I suggest that you re-plan over there, it is too inefficient for you to be responsible for a single work like this now, I suggest that you re-divide the work and speed up the progress on the premise of ensuring quality. ”

"Slowly, your side is responsible for coordinating the cooperation between various departments, and as soon as the original sketches on their side come out, other departments will immediately follow. Especially the screenwriting department, we must understand those works in advance, get the script right, try to be as concise as possible, and don't have a water plot. ”

Lu slowly took notes with the pen in her hand, and when she heard Li Jing say this, she stopped, "It's already started over there, and I've already put down the task as soon as I was recruited." ”

Li Jing nodded, "Then in terms of the style of painting, I will give a small suggestion." You can focus on showing the sparkle of your eyes, and we will use the form of color comics for all the pages. ”

Jiang Meng was obviously surprised that the boss still knew about Caiman.

"Riman is indeed much higher than us in terms of level, but it doesn't mean that we will definitely lose in the market. I recently watched it.,Japanese comics are generally based on black and white.,Since they're skillful in storyboarding.,Very expressive.,Then we don't need to attack long with short.。 Our early target group should still focus on primary and secondary school students, attract them first in the form of color comics, and seizing the market is the most important. ”

After speaking, Li Jing hesitated a little and looked at Jiang Meng, "Master Meng, I said this, can you understand?"

Jiang Meng was stunned for a moment, smiled faintly, and nodded, "Yes, I know! The boss is right to do this, we really can't compete with those high-end Japanese comics in terms of level now." ”

Sure enough, although Jiang Meng is introverted, she has a clear mind and is very suitable for being a manager.

After arranging everything, I was about to go to other offices to have a look, when my phone suddenly "ding-dong" sounded.

Received a text message.
