DreamWorks Studios.
Newly built manga building.
Feng Zhiming, Ma Rongcheng, Niu Lao, Xie Zhirong, Zhao Rude, Li Zhiqing, Dick, and Qiancao each held a copy of the sketch, and they all looked at Xu Cun who was sitting in the middle of the conference room with a shocked face!
Sweeping Feng Shiming and others one by one, Xu Cuncai said: ""Hokage", "ONEPIECE", "Death", "Fullmetal Alchemist", "Hunter", "Youyou Hakusho", "Crayon Xiaoxin", "Cherry Maruko" (these comics have all been changed by Xu Cun to be based on Xiangjiang or the mainland as the background or simply a virtual back comics) is the comic I came up with in the past ten years, the general plot and main characters I believe you have already understood, and you will be responsible for filling and expanding them in the future...... I hate the form of labor distribution of dead wages, and I think it is unfair to those who are talented and hardworking, so you will get the same labor contract as the Marvel comic book department, and of course, the copyright of the comics you create will also belong to me personally, just like Marvel...... In the future, Huang Yulang will be in charge of your ministry, and Shangguan Xiaobao will be the deputy minister...... In addition, if there is no competition, there will be no motivation, so these eight comics will be divided into four groups, with Huang Yulang, Shangguan Xiaobao, Shangguan Xiaolong, and Shangguan Xiaowei each responsible for one group...... At the end of the year, the company will give different rewards to each group according to the sales volume of each group, and individuals with outstanding contributions will also be rewarded with a number of dry shares. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Cun deliberately paused for a moment, and then said, "Do you have anything to say?" ”
Huang Yulang looked at the others and took the lead in saying, "Mr. Xu, there is a big problem that we need to solve immediately. ”
Xu Cun looked at Huang Yulang and asked, "What's the problem?" ”
Huang Yulang replied: "The comics industry is not like other industries, this is an industry that needs professional practitioners, you opened eight comics at one time, plus my "Dragon Tiger Gate" and Shangguan Xiaobao's "Bruce Lee" and other comics, even if all the cartoonists in Xiangjiang are recruited into our DreamWorks comics, it can't guarantee our creative needs......
Xu Cun asked Huang Yulang: "Then do you have any plans?" ”
Huang Yulang looked at Shangguan Xiaobao and the others, and said, "I declare in advance, Mr. Xu, I didn't mean to compliment you, I just talked about the matter...... Judging from my 24 years of experience in the comics industry, all of your eight comics have been a big hit! ”
When Huang Yulang said this, the three Shangguan brothers and Feng Zhiming and others nodded in unison - "Hokage", "One Piece", "Death", "Fullmetal Alchemist", "Hunter", "Yu Yu Hakusho" and other comics are simply unheard of by those of them who have drawn comics all their lives, and their content makes them both moved and enthusiastic, and "Crayon Xiaoxin" and "Cherry Maruko" are funny and innocent, they all agree with Huang Yulang's words and think that these comics should be popular!
Huang Yulang continued: "Most of the comics we have in our hands are not very profitable, I think it is better to finish them all, so that we can free up a lot of cartoonists and screenwriters, and then let these cartoonists and screenwriters work hard to develop your eight comics." ”
Listening to Huang Yulang's idea, Xu Cun nodded secretly, and said in his heart: "Huang Yulang is worthy of being a great Yulang international, and he is still very courageous!" ”
And Shangguan Xiaobao and others, when they heard Huang Yulang's proposal, they were all shocked, and Shangguan Xiaobao was the most - the comic "Bruce Lee", Shangguan Xiaobao has been drawing for more than ten years, and has long had a deep feeling, so Shangguan Xiaobao is really reluctant to end "Bruce Lee", and the situation of others is similar to Shangguan Xiaobao!
Actually,
Shangguan Xiaobao and others also knew that what Huang Yulang said was a good way to solve the current problem, but Shangguan Xiaobao still wanted to fight for it again, so Shangguan Xiaobao said: "I have another way." ”
The comic industry is no different from other industries - many times, a cartoonist can only draw one set of comics in his life, so to speak, he lives for one set of comics and dies for one set of comics.
Therefore, Xu Cun can understand the reluctance of Shangguan Xiaobao and others!
Therefore, Xu Cun asked Shangguan Xiaobao: "What good advice does Mr. Kuang have?" ”
Shangguan Xiaobao straightened his body and said, "We can invite another group of cartoonists." ”
Xu Cun asked quietly, "Cartoonist, please?" Do you want to go to Japan please? ”
Shangguan Xiaobao shook his head and said: "No, the salary of Japanese comic practitioners is too expensive, and we can't afford to spend this unjust money." ”
As soon as Shangguan Xiaobao's words came out, many people, including Huang Yulang, looked north at the same time.
Seeing this, Shangguan Xiaobao nodded and said, "Yes, it's to go to the mainland!" ”
Xu Cun was surprised: "There are also cartoonists in the mainland? ”
This is really Xu Cun's loneliness!
In fact, the level of animation production in China is originally very powerful, and Osamu Tezuka, the father of Japanese comics, also embarked on the road of comics after watching Chinese animation.
In the decades since, Chinese comics have never lagged behind any country in terms of art.
Until that turmoil......
As we all know, labor costs in the United States have always been extremely high, so since 1965, the United States has cooperated with low-wage countries to produce cartoons.
At that time, Japan was the preferred partner of the United States, which directly contributed to the development and prosperity of the Japanese manga and animation industry.
After more than 20 years of development, Japan's animation industry has initially prospered, but at the same time, it is also facing the problem of the American animation industry in the past -- the excessively high wages of animation workers.
As a result, Japanese animation companies have also begun to cooperate with South Korea, Taiwan, Chinese mainland and other places, especially Chinese mainland, which has low wages and a good animation foundation, to outsource the basic production of animation.
As a result, China now has a large number of low-paid and highly skilled cartoonists.
After listening to the explanations of Shangguan Xiaobao and others, Xu Cun thought for a while and said, "Okay, you will be responsible for this matter, Mr. Kuang." ”
After listening to Xu Cun's order, Shangguan Xiaobao said: "Okay, I'll go north tomorrow!" After hesitating for a moment, Shangguan Xiaobao said tentatively: "Mr. Xu, the comic we are creating......
Xu Cun smiled and said: "If you like to paint, then continue to paint, but I still say the same, the purpose of our company is always to distribute remuneration with the benefits of creation." What Xu Cun said is too easy to understand, that is: "You can draw it, but the cartoons you draw don't make money, and I won't give you money." ”
Shangguan Xiaobao and the others looked at each other, and finally made the same decision in their hearts - the comics they originally drew and Xu Cun's creative comics were drawn first, and then they made the final decision after looking at the results. In addition, Shangguan Xiaobao and others don't believe that the comics they have been operating for many years will be so much worse than the few ideas of Xu Cun, a layman!
