035 convinced
Meng Qi erased the words written on the whiteboard, then picked up the marker again, wrote a word on it, and said, "Spider." When a boy is bitten by a mutant spider, he acquires spider powers...... David, what do you think should be used to demonstrate these abilities? ”
Meng Qi is of course talking about the famous Spider-Man, for those many superheroes on the earth, Spider-Man's ability can only be regarded as a small thing, but David has never thought about it from this aspect.
"Uh......" the expression on David Lane's face became exciting, "maybe he will put cobwebs in the place of battle and let the enemy throw himself into the net, in this case, he will also need to have a high IQ and be good at tactical planning...... If the spider that bites him is poisonous, he may also be poisonous......"
David Lane's words are full of unconfidence, not only him, but other newcomers also feel that the ability of "spider" is at a loss.
"The ability you set is not super ...... at all," Meng Qi said with a smile, "Actually, we can set it up like this, after he was bitten by a spider, he got super strength, spider-like agility, spider sensing that can react quickly to danger, the ability to adhere to most surfaces, and the ability to climb up and down high-rise buildings like a spider...... His fighting style should be spider silk, to be precise, the spider silk can be sprayed out, it can be in the form of a web, a rope, or it can be used as a bullet, and he can even use the ability to spray spider silk to walk over the city...... Like this......"
As he spoke, Meng Qi simply drew a drawing of Spider-Man using spider silk to shuttle between high-rise buildings on the whiteboard.
"Wow...... It's amazing......"
There was a burst of exclamation from below.
Nick Young couldn't wait to stand up and shouted, "BOSS, let me draw this, you must let me draw this, I love this spider so much!" ”
And David Lane was also dumbfounded, it can be said that Meng Qi's design almost maximized the ability of "Spider".
He couldn't have imagined that he could design like this!
"So, let's take another example."
At this time, David Lane also sat honestly in his seat, like a primary school student, he was now completely convinced by Meng Qi, and wanted to see what the next ability would be.
"Dream ......," Meng Qi had a malicious smile on his face.
Well...... Well?!
Dreamland?! What the hell is this, this kind of thing that everyone has can also be called superpowers?
"Is there anyone who can set a superpower ...... based on a dream?"
No one answered, it was beyond the boundaries of their imagination.
Meng Qi was silent for a while, knowing that this dismount had been solidly thrown out, and his goal had been achieved, so he said: "Regarding dreams, my idea is that someone has obtained the ability to enter other people's dreams......"
There was an uproar below, interrupting Meng Qi's speech.
The newcomers were obviously shocked by Meng Qi's words, compared to the spider's ability, the ability of "Dream Realm" was even more imaginative.
"When he enters the dream, he sees everything that is going to happen, therefore, he gains the ability to preserve, but his ability is a little flawed, because of the changeability of the dream, everything he sees is mysterious, and he needs to reason to arrive at the correct answer...... But in this way, we can perfectly combine superhero comics and detective comics. ”
The newcomers don't know what to say anymore, and their brain-opening settings have taken a serious impact on their thinking.
Only Nick Young excitedly shouted, "Oh oh, this is cool too, draw me this too, boss!! ”
Of course, Meng Qi completely ignored Nick Young's unreasonable request.
"It's not that easy to set up abilities." Meng Qi said, "The imagination is endless, and you need to work hard to dig into it, whether it is animals, plants, science, magic, aliens, robots, all these are the source of your creative superpowers." ”
"Don't be limited, don't be limited, I hope that in the near future, we will be able to see your superheroes appear on the market......," Meng Qi said encouragingly.
Create your own superhero!
The newcomers couldn't help but feel excited, it turned out that what was said in the recruitment announcement was true!
What a blessing to be able to get into AC Comics!
In fact, Meng Qi also has his own reasons for doing this.
Superheroes are too big a system, and they need to gather the wisdom of everyone to become bigger and stronger, Meng Qi will draw those classic superheroes on the earth, but he also hopes to see new superheroes created.
Only in this way can this genre of manga remain at its most vibrant.
And AC Comics, as well as this group of people, will become the little spark that fires the prairie and the most solid step into the era of superheroes.
"So, your first job next is to rack your brains to design a superhero for me!" Meng Qi's words were full of agitation.
"Bang Bang!"
These newcomers spontaneously applauded because of their anticipation for the future, because of their excitement, and because of their worship of Meng Qi, and some even whistled, and Nick Young's joke even danced street dance on the spot.
Meng Qi smiled and looked at him before he finished making trouble and said, "Since I have said this, I will tell you about some procedures and copyright-related issues of our company's comic creation." ”
When it comes to future work and even dreams, as well as vital interests, everyone is quiet again.
"In the future, all the superheroes you create will be copyrighted by AC Comics, but most of the revenue from the comics will belong to you, to be exact, the company will only take 20% of the net profits, and the rest will be yours." Meng Qi said.
"What do you mean by all the benefits of comics?" Someone asked.
"Of course, all the proceeds including animation, movies, games, and merchandise, don't worry, these will be written into the contract, and you can consult a lawyer when the time comes."
"And what if we leave the company in the future?"
"The distribution method remains the same."
"If you use the superheroes I designed to create comics, it's a different distribution mechanism," Meng Qi continued, "If you write and draw the screen, you can get half of the net income, if I provide the synopsis of the story but you write the screenplay and you draw, 35% of the net income, and if I write the screenplay and you draw, only 20%." ”
It can be said that Meng Qi's plan is already very worthy of them.
What these people learned, saw, and heard from Frank Miller would be unprecedented and impactful theories and perspectives, and a catalyst for rekindling the fire of imagination and pushing the boundaries of thinking, even if they left AC Comics, and it would benefit them in their careers as cartoonists.
What's more, Frank and Miller's bonus to their comic book sales is also completely immeasurable.
This is not a simple mathematical problem, but none of the fools present are happy to accept such conditions.
"Also, I have one more thing to announce." Meng Qi said, "Superman is coming to an end......"
"What?!"
There was a wave of disbelief in the crowd, and they weren't so excited, even when it came to copyright and money.
"Don't worry, it's just that my Superman is over, and that doesn't mean Superman's story is over." Meng Qi explained, "I'll give you an outline of the story, a long story about Superman, and then ...... Except for two colorists who assisted me in creating other comics, the rest of us had to write stories and storyboards according to my outline, and I would choose the best screenwriters and cartoonists among you to continue the story of Superman! ”
When Meng Qi said this, all the people below couldn't sit still, the colorist was happy that he could follow Frank Miller as soon as he entered the company, while the others were excited about this great opportunity, and everyone secretly resolved in their hearts to become the sequel of Superman no matter what!
"Superman is mine, you all die!" This is Nick Young clamoring.
"Oh, damn it, why don't you give you all of Mr. Miller's ideas, idiot......" Ned Barty held his forehead helplessly.
