Chapter 7: The Comic Group (Part II)
Miyahara knew that the manga artist, who had achieved nothing before, was completely tempted by such a good opportunity, so it was not difficult for him to persuade him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I know what Aida-sensei is worried about, but in fact, the original work of this work is me, does Aida-sensei think I have a reason to wait for the work to succeed and leave the teacher behind?"
Is it actually the young president of Miyahara Shizune?
After hearing that the original work was Miyahara Shizune, Aida Seiichi's worries immediately let go of most of them.
Indeed, if the original work was Miyahara Shizune, he would definitely not do such a thing, because the copyright of the work is controlled in the hands of the Hibiscus Society, and if the work is successful and he is kicked out, although he will not get the benefits, but the most damaged interests are the Hibiscus Society...... As for Miyahara Shizu's request to become the representative of the author's rights and interests, it is actually very simple, he just wants to firmly control this work, but in the final analysis, the original work is Miyahara Jing himself, and it is understandable for him to ask for this.
The problem now is that the original is irreplaceable, but the painting is not...... Thinking of this, Aida Seiichi no longer hesitated:
"I don't have a problem with the representation of authors' rights."
No one can be sure whether a work will be popular before it is serialized, but Aida Seiichi thinks that this work has the qualifications to be popular, and he doesn't want to let go of such an opportunity.
"So what does the teacher think of stopping the teacher's soul from the next issue and serializing this one?"
"Will it stop in the next issue? How do you explain to readers that a comic that is being serialized suddenly stops? "Aida Seiichi didn't expect Miyahara Jing to be in such a hurry, and he also thought about serializing a few issues so that the Sengoku Shogun Soul could have a reasonable ending.
"It's okay, we've already been forced to stop half of the manga anyway, and now it doesn't matter if there is one more, readers may be upset or even angry at our actions, but for now we can only do that."
"There's no problem with Ryota Kato and Fushimi-kun Watanabe continuing to work with Mr. Aida Seiichi, of course, we don't restrict and coerce, and if you have your own works in the future, you can also leave at any time."
Miyahara meant to let these two people join her own manga group as well.
"No problem."
The two assistants said at the same time that the two of them had also seen the storyboard just now, and it was indeed a good work, and they joined the comic group and they were still engaged in the work of comic assistants, which was no different from their original work, and there was no reason to object.
And if the situation can't satisfy them after joining the manga group, as Miyahara said, they can also leave at any time, which makes them not unable to find any reason to oppose joining.
"That's great, and I hope you two can continue to help Aida-sensei...... I also hope that Mr. Aida will start drawing new manga as soon as possible, and try to complete as many new manga as possible before the next deadline. Miyahara said.
"Doesn't the next issue ask for 40 pages?" Aida asked.
"No, forty pages will start from the next issue, and as many pages as Aida-sensei can draw in the next issue, we will publish as many pages as we can in the magazine."
Miyahara Shizune left 160 pages of storyboards for Aida, and it was impossible for Aida to finish these storyboards. The 160-page storyboard took Miyahara a night's work......
Design the worldview of the story in one night, the beginning direction, the main character setting, a large number of lines, and 160 pages of storyboard...... This speed is shocking to other manga artists, but for Miyahara Shizune, he is just repeating the process of "copying and pasting", and the pasting is not the original, but only a storyboard.
"I see, editor-in-chief Kubo, the company has painting tools, right? I'll try it first. ”
"Yes, wait a minute."
After Yoshishi Kubo provided Aida with manga tools, Aita began to draw on the spot.
Miyahara Jing looked at Aida Chengyi's painting, and couldn't help nodding, Aida Chengyi's painting skills are very good, otherwise he would not have been selected by himself.
After simply correcting a few small problems,Miyahara Jing let Aida play,Since the work is handed over to someone else to paint,,It is inevitable to bring someone else's style,Although Miyahara Jing provides a character design,But this can only ensure that the main characters will not be too deformed。
If Miyahara had been asked to draw by himself, he would have been able to excel, but if it were someone else, he would have to ask for what he thought was the passing grade.
There's no time to dwell on it too much now.
After Aida Seiichi had no problems with his original manuscript, he couldn't wait to leave the Hibiscus Society, and when he returned to his studio, he immediately picked up where he had just left off.
At this time, he already had some belief, maybe this crisis of the Hibiscus Society may really be an opportunity for him, otherwise it will be difficult for this kind of excellent storyboard to reach his own hands, as long as the Hibiscus Society survives this crisis, maybe he can really become famous in one fell swoop.
After Aita left, Miyahara said quietly, "Sign a new contract with Aida as soon as possible." ”
"I understand." Of course, Yoshishi Kubo understood what Shizune Miyahara meant, and after this incident, he also understood that he couldn't trust the manga artist's temperance too much.
In fact, Aida Seiichi couldn't do it even if he really wanted to take the work, he only had 160 pages of storyboards, and if he left Hibiscus, he would have to come up with the rest of the plot on his own - if he could come up with a good story, would he still choose to work with someone else?
Compared to Aida's own level of storytelling, he should know how to be the smartest if he wants to seize this opportunity to rise.
"But even with such a work, we still don't have enough pages for the next issue...... "The editor-in-chief Kubo said with a frown after a moment of joy.
"First, let our cartoonists work hard to increase the number of pages of each comic in the next issue from 40 to 50 pages."
"Second, aren't there four manga artists here, what I just said is just about Mr. Aida, and these four haven't come in handy yet."
As Miyahara's words fell, the eyes of the two of them turned to the remaining four.
These four manga artists are authentic "newcomers", they have not made their official debut so far, they are just assistants to manga artists, they are all young people in their twenties, and to Miyahara's surprise, all four of them are women.
Considering the ratio of cartoonists to men, it was really surprising to be able to put four female cartoonists together.
Miyahara Shizune learned some about them through inquiry, and after knowing that they were indeed determined to become real manga artists, he continued: "Everyone should have heard the conversation I had with Mr. Aida just now, and I'm going to let everyone set up a second manga group.,The four of them use a unified pen name to publish their works.,The conditions are the same as Mr. Aida.,The original work is also in charge of me.,Of course,We won't restrict your freedom.,When you want to draw your own work or if you have any dissatisfaction with the manga group., When will you be able to break away from the comic group. ”
"Can we just start serializing it too?" Ono Katsura asked Miyahara.
"Of course you can, as long as your drawings can pass my request, the next issue can start serialization, our magazine is seriously lacking works now, if your paintings are not a problem, then there is no problem with serialization at all."
"Great! I agree. Katsura Ono preemptively said that they don't have the same problems as Aida Seiichi, and for manga assistants like them, it is more important than anything to have the opportunity to start serialization directly.
The other three girls saw that Katsura Ono agreed, and they didn't say anything, and they all agreed to join the manga group and publish their works together.
"In this way, you come with me to my studio, I don't have the storyboard with me, and then I have to see how your painting is, whose painting is the best, who is the painting, and the rest can only be assistants."
Miyahara had been in the hibiscus club for most of the day, and when he left with four assistants, he found that the atmosphere in the company was much better, at least not as lifeless as when he first arrived, and it seemed that the news of the salary increase had just spread.
What's more, after the president fainted, they found someone who could make up their minds, and although it may be inappropriate to say that a high school student like Miyahara was the "backbone", it was important to have such a person who could make up his mind when the whole club was in a state of panic, regardless of whether he came up with the right idea or not.
Miyahara had no studio, he just took the four of them back to his house, beckoned them to sit down in the living room, he turned and went into his bedroom, and a moment later walked out with a stack of sketches.
This time, he came up with not only the storyboard and character design, but also a few pages of the original manuscript that had been roughly completed
Miyahara asked the four of them to copy separately to see who best matched the original style of the work, and who drew the fastest and best.
Regardless of whether a comic book is a hit or not, it takes a process for any story to go from beginning to engaging, and serial one or two issues may not necessarily attract readers and maintain the magazine's sales.
"Simariel" is a girl-oriented magazine, and in order to cope with the dissatisfaction of readers caused by the sudden discontinuation of a large number of manga, their new serialized works must be good enough to attract talents, otherwise if there is a large loss of readers, the hearts and minds of the Hibiscus Society's newly stabilized people will be lost immediately.
What type of serialized story can attract readers as quickly as possible? The answer is very simple, reasoning, suspense, and thriller, because this kind of work tends to create problems in one serialized issue, and the next serial issue makes answers, because the questions and answers are divided into two issues of comics, and readers often buy the second issue after buying the first issue, so that the cycle can form stickiness.
But the problem is that now Summer's next issue is facing a key problem, which is that it will not give the new series of manga a gradual time at all, and it is a girl-oriented magazine, and female readers tend not to like mystery works as much as men.
