Chapter 136: Comics

Yes, Zhu Ziqing wants to set up his own comic studio. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is a decision he made after consulting with Tao Yingshuang and others last time.

Tao Yingshuang and others said that they wanted to enter the US imperialist market, and their magazine's positioning was to favor the entertainment style, so they wanted Zhu Ziqing to open another Western-style comic.

Western comics, what do you think of? That's right, superheroes.

In the previous life, the superhero comics of the United States were not as popular as Riman, but in terms of horizontal and vertical development, they threw off more than a dozen streets of Riman in terms of influence. Why? Film and television adaptations.

Hollywood's superhero movies based on superhero comics have taken the world by storm, and the total box office can scare people to death. Zhu Ziqing has also coveted this piece for a long time, but he can only look at it and drool but has no way.

Why?

He has only watched superhero movies, and he has never read superhero comics seriously. I was also influenced by movies to go back to read comics, but he really couldn't appreciate that style, so he gave up after skipping a few paragraphs.

After crossing over, every time he thought of this, he wanted to give himself two slaps. You said it would have been nice if you had forced yourself to watch it.

When Tao Yingshuang and the three of them asked him for a comic suitable for Westerners, although he regretted it in his heart, he couldn't show it. So I excused myself with the excuse that I had a similar idea, but I was too busy to paint.

They didn't doubt the truth of what he said, he was busy in the eyes of everyone. martial arts, comics, writing a novel for the publishing house, busy with studies, and writing "The Analects......

I don't know if I don't count, but I'm shocked when I count it. This is Zhu Ziqing, and if someone else only has one of them, he will be too busy. They didn't dare to say that they would put aside a few of them for the time being, and get busy with the important ones first.

Martial arts is related to the rise and fall of "Jianghu Night Talk"; The manga is used to give the name of "The King of Comics" (the name of the new manga); The publishing novel's novel is the key to whether the US imperialist business can fire the first shot; Not to mention academics, knowledge determines the future, which is related to Zhu Ziqing's future height; "The Analects of Discourse" is about his status in the literary world...... Each of them is so important that none of them can be discarded.

And they also know that if they really want to give up one or two projects temporarily, Zhu Ziqing will definitely suspend the creation of martial arts, comics, novels and the like, and concentrate on his studies and "The Analects". So they won't suggest a moratorium or two.

When everyone was helpless, Zhao Mingyuan thought of an idea. It's to open a comic studio.

Hire some editors and comic assistants. Zhu Ziqing provides the outline and story direction, edits and improves the story, the comic assistant draws it, and Zhu Ziqing is reviewing. Solve all problems perfectly.

Zhu Ziqing and the others were all bright-eyed, good ideas. Of course, the same idea means different things.

Tao Yingshuang Wei Zhixing thought that in this way, it would solve the difficulty of Zhu Ziqing's lack of time, and they also had high-quality comics available.

Zhu Ziqing thought, yes, he just needs to provide the idea and leave the rest to others. The most important thing about superhero comics is that the quality of creativity is secondary. And few of the superhero comics adapted from the previous life were based on the original books. Therefore, there is no need for the content of the story to be completely copied from the previous life. Anyway, that's what I want is this idea and copyright.

Form a studio and publish comics in the name of the studio. The copyright can belong to you or to the studio. But he is the owner of the studio, and the copyright is in his own hands no matter which way.

I didn't think of such a great idea. Zhu Ziqing slapped his head with remorse.

Well, let's talk about the issue of comic copyright. Generally, published books are sold only for paper copyrights. The right to adapt film and television games is still in the hands of the author. Of course, there are also some authors who will sell all the copyrights to the publisher and only retain the right to dividends.

But comics are different, in most cases, comic serial publishing is all copyrights by default, including paper publishing, electronic copyright, film and television adaptation rights, etc., all of which are handed over to the magazine to take care of. However, the author has the right of authorship and the right to dividends from the rest of the copyright - please note that this is a care, just handing over the copyright to the comic book company to take care of, not selling it all at once.

Don't think it's too harsh, a successful comic magazine and a cartoonist are interdependent, and the magazine will not deliberately harm the interests of the cartoonist. Only by protecting the interests of cartoonists can the interests of magazines be guaranteed.

Of course, there will definitely be cases where magazines harm cartoonists. However, where in this world is there no darkness, and you can't find faults.

This is the most popular practice in the island country at the moment, and it has also spread to the country. It's just that Zhu Ziqing's situation is too special, and the agreement he signed with "Children's Literature" is very lenient. Except for paper copyrights, all copyrights are in Zhu Ziqing's own hands. The same goes for the superhero manga that follows.

Zhu Ziqing didn't know that now his future wife was playing the idea of "Children's Literature" and Silian Publishing House. Tao Yingshuang and Zhao Mingyuan are also calculating how to get a little more shares of Skynet Group. If he knew the intentions of both parties, he would definitely have a feeling of being dogged.

"Mr. Wei told us." Dai Zhicheng replied.

"Are you sure you want to give up your job at Children's Literature and work at a comic studio?" Zhu Ziqing confirmed again.

At the earliest, the two worked as assistants to Zhu Ziqing, and naturally chatted a lot during this period. Zhu Ziqing more or less told them some stories - they were all seen in their previous lives.

The two are indeed talented and have learned a lot from it. Then they tried their hand at drawing their own comics, which were serialized in "Children's Literature" and received critical acclaim, and gradually made a name for themselves in the manga circle. Later, he officially became a signed cartoonist for "Children's Literature".

Of course, with their own comics, the two did not continue to serve as Zhu Ziqing's assistants. That's why Zhu Ziqing was so strange when he saw them just now.

"Huh...... Mr. Zhu and Mr. Wei and Mr. Zhao have such a good relationship, and we work the same wherever we work. And in Zhu Dong's thighs are much thicker than Mr. Wei, how could we miss such a good opportunity to hug their thighs. Chen Lei Yunqi said with a smile:

"Besides, when we can't get along with Zhu Dong here one day, we can go back to "Children's Literature". Mr. Wei will definitely not want us. ”

"In that case, that's great." Zhu Ziqing said happily.

He is used to being the shopkeeper, and there are indeed a lot of things, so he will not personally manage the comic studio. This requires a reassuring manager. A few days ago, he was still having a headache to find such a person, and the arrival of the two just solved his troubles.

Having worked together before, he knew that the two were not the kind of people who only knew how to draw comics and didn't know anything else, and they also had their own ideas about management. And it's still a trustworthy 'own person' to use, don't be too easy to use.

He could also guess that Wei Zhixing must have taken this into account before letting the two of them come over. It is very likely that the two of them came over to be bewitched by Wei Zhixing. For this kind of thing, he is naturally grateful. But there are some things that don't need to be said, as long as everyone knows them.

The full name of the comic studio is Blue Sky Culture Co., Ltd., and the registered trademark or something was done in a few days. Skynet Group wanted to register a subsidiary, and that was a green light.

Then, with the help of the administrative logistics department of Skynet Group, the office was quickly arranged, all office supplies were purchased according to the requirements, and the accommodation problem of personnel was also solved.

Half a month later, in a company with the brand of Blue Sky Culture Co., Ltd., a general meeting of all employees of the comic studio was held.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today our Blue Sky Studio was officially established." Zhu Zi on the stage said lightly.

It's not that he's pretending, it's that there are too many such meetings. In the past, meetings were held for companies with unlimited potential, such as MSI, Skynet, Xiaobawang, and Perfect. Compared to those, this comic studio is really too inconspicuous.

But others don't think so. Blue Sky Comic Studio, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skynet Group. In other words, they are all already employees of Skynet Group.

Who doesn't know that Skynet Group's salary and benefits are the top in the industry. How many people sharpened their heads, and tried to drill into it, but there was no way.

And most of them are just graduates of art academies, and it is difficult to find jobs. Originally, there was no chance to enter the Skynet Group in this life, but now this situation is tantamount to pie in the sky. Can you not be happy.

So......

......As soon as Zhu Ziqing's words fell, the audience remembered the warm applause. The applause of more than a dozen people sounded quite imposing. It can be seen that everyone has worked hard.

"It seems that everyone's morale is very high, so I'm relieved." Emotions are contagious, seeing that everyone is so happy, Zhu Ziqing is a lot happier.

"I'm a person who doesn't like to say superfluous things, and people certainly don't like to listen to people talk endlessly. So I'll get straight to the point. Zhu Ziqing made a small joke.

"Haha", the low-level people laughed out loud, and the atmosphere of the scene was better. They are really happy, and they are not just holding Zhu Ziqing.

"Everyone has heard more or less about the situation in our studio, and now I will introduce the situation to you in detail." Zhu Ziqing's expression turned serious.

"I started this studio with the goal of getting people to draw comics for me. I come up with ideas, the editors refine the story, and then the artists draw them......"

"Of course, you can also draw your own comics. If your manga can be serialized, then there are two options. One is to quit the studio and concentrate on drawing your own comics, and from then on you have nothing to do with your work.

The second is to hand over the comics to the studio for promotion. But in doing so, you're going to give all the rights to the studio to take care of it -- it's taking care of it, not selling it out to the studio.

In the future, you can get royalties for serial publications, film and television game adaptations, etc. However, the company takes a pro-rata commission. As for how to choose, it's up to you, the studio won't force ......"

"The studio now has twenty employees. Dai Zhicheng and Chen Lei Yunqi are the supervisors, and the company's affairs are usually managed by the two of them. The remaining eighteen employees were divided into three groups of six, two editors and four artists. In the future, there will be no more recruitment ...... manpower."

"I have three ideas on my side, and I have written very clearly about the framework and the idea. Later, you will take a copy from each group and take a look at it, and if you have any ideas, please put them forward......"

Zhu Ziqing pointed to the thick manuscript at hand and said, only to see that the cover of the top manuscript was written with the four big words 'Transformers'. (To be continued.) )
