Chapter 13: Comic Version

The funds in the company's account are abundant, the employees are paid, and Li Shanhe is not a miser. He called www.biquge.info construction team and began to design the layout of the office.

The lounge is the result of a recent construction, and this lounge can only be accessed from the president's office. It is divided into two compartments, the first chamber holds a table, chair and bed, and the second chamber is a dark room.

If there is anything special about the ordinary-looking lounge, it is the wallpaper, which is simply a large piece of white paper, with no patterns at all, and it looks dazzling.

Although it is claimed to be used for a nap, in fact, this is Li Shanhe's secret workshop.

The door to the lounge is specially made, and once closed, it is absolutely impossible to open without a key, even if it is a reckless accountant or a reckless senpai.

Li Shanhe locked the door, sat comfortably on the bed, took out his mobile phone, and put it in an inconspicuous groove at the head of the bed.

"Cortana, are you there?"

"I'm here, Apocalypse, and I know you woke me up."

Well, the screen of the mobile phone turned on, and a beam of light hit the white wall opposite.

Li Shanhe changed his comfortable posture: "Cortana, access the list of local video files." ”

Knock, the search is complete. There are hundreds of pages of videos listed on the screen, and if each video is carefully watched, it is estimated that it will take decades.

Li Shanhe is looking for the next work to be copied in this vast video file.

"Hmm...... It's time for blissful troubles again. What to pinch for the next part? ”

If it's just to make money, then just keep choosing a novel. However, he didn't want the capital of Shanhe Society to continue to grow, so he could only look for it from comics, music, movies, and animation.

The investment in animation, movies, and TV series is relatively large, and he can't afford to play it now. He is not willing to contribute wonderful ideas, and only list the name of a screenwriter.

Comics and music, either is fine.

"The words of music...... The best result is to become a contracted artist of a certain company. If I start my own company, I have to spend a lot of energy. ”

The light from the projector reflected off the wall onto his face, and finally shook his head, as an entertainer...... It's too much trouble. Concert autograph session, scandal scandal, notice running hole......

Singers have never been simple singers, there are a lot of troubles in supporting the family, and if you want to play the purpose of the songs in your mobile phone, it is best to be your own boss.

Li Shanhe shook his head, weighed it several times, and decided to start with comics.

"Actually, I can draw the comic version of "Legend of the Galactic Heroes", and with a certain popularity, it is much easier than starting from scratch."

Outside, there are several sketches on the desk in the president's office, and Kitajima Hanako can pick up some scrap drafts from the trash from time to time and take them back to the apartment to send to the sisters.

These drawings make good illustrations, but they are definitely not good comics.

On the one hand, Li Shanhe's skills are not mature enough. The improvement of skills requires time precipitation and a lot of practice, which are his shortcomings.

On the other hand, there is the problem of storyboarding. Comics don't just list a few pictures, they are in the same order as action movies, and the quality of the storyboard can be seen at a glance at the level of the author.

"If you insist on me drawing...... It's not that it can't be drawn," Li Shanhe frowned, "It's just that from conception to finalization, it takes about 20 hours for a page." No, not at all. ”

At this rate, it is absolutely impossible to serialize in a weekly magazine.

Can you use the works of existing manga artists?

"Cortana, open the Penguin comics and search for Legend of the Galactic Heroes."

"Search complete, remaining results 2."

The manga version of the Legend of the Galactic Heroes, there are two different versions. One is the Michihara Kazumi version, and the other is the Fujisaki Ryu version.

The Michihara Kazumi version has delicate lines, and it is fundamentally in the style of a shoujo manga in the nineties. PASS.

Fujisaki Dragon Version...... The storyboards and backgrounds are very well-made, and Reinhardt's road to supremacy is reinterpreted from Siegfried's perspective. But the excellent style of painting is a bit excessive, the author uses the popular style of the 2010s, eyes are bigger than fists, and this era is simply not acceptable.

And most fatally, it is an unfinished work...... PASS。

Li Shanhe browsed through the two cartoons and sighed.

Is that all there is to it......

If you don't have a comic that fits the requirements in mind, then create your own!

"Cortana, turn on Eunying's animation. Play from the first episode. ”

"Knock": "There are two versions, administrator, which one do you want to watch?" ”

There are also two animations of Eunyoung, the 1988 version and the 2018 version.

"Play the old version of 1988."

After enjoying the first episode of the animation, Li Shanhe nodded with satisfaction, the animation basically went down according to the original plot, that's it!

Li Shanhe first took screenshots of the video, and in one 20-minute episode, he intercepted about 400 photos.

THEN, HE OPENS PHOTOSHOP AND LOADS A COMIC BOX TEMPLATE.

The rest of the work is more tedious, Li Shanhe inserted the screenshot into the appropriate position of the comic frame in the order of the plot advancement.

This work is very tiring, sometimes the characters in the animation screenshots have their mouths open, there will be no such expression in the comics, and they must be deleted and re-intercepted; Sometimes the storyboard looks incongruous, and the grid has to be expanded or reduced, or even changed to a different template; Sometimes everything is done and there is a knock on the door outside, and work has to be suspended......

The first comic took him almost 4 hours.

The second picture took two and a half hours.

The third one and a half hours.

Starting from the fourth one, each one only takes less than half an hour, and after accumulating a lot of experience, Li Shanhe is also very comfortable with this work.

At the current pace, it will take about three or four days to make a manga...... He kept talking and thinking in his heart.

The premise is that there are not too many trifles.

---

Taniguchi Semia tiptoed, stepped on the bricks and cautiously jumped into the door of the warehouse, and when he saw Li Shanhe, he couldn't help complaining: "Mr. Li, you are already so profitable, why don't you repair the road at the door!" ”

"That's a government job, why should I pay for it?" Li Shanhe was forced to be interrupted from his work, and replied angrily, "I am the only one who walks through the west gate, and if you take the small door to the north of the warehouse, you don't need to go through the ditch." ”

Taniguchi Semia was about to speak, but he felt something move in his trouser legs, looked down, and said in surprise: "Wait, why do you still have geese here?" ”

"He's the company's security captain, and he's older than me. Be careful, you can't beat it. Li Shanhe kindly reminded, "Come with me, Mr. Taniguchi." ”

"Goose as a security guard?" Taniguchi Semia wants to complain very much, such a company full of, uh, local flavor, can make a monthly profit of millions? Hanako Kitajima, the simple Hokkaido girl, has also learned to make fake accounts?

As soon as Taniguchi Semia entered the door, he kept looking around, and he was even more curious about Li Shanhe, who had created all this.

As a partner of the company, he is qualified to audit the accounts, and the company can have millions of profits in one month after the company is founded, which is too rare, and he can't help but feel curious.

At this time, the office area was already a little narrow, crammed into forty people, and from time to time there were employees who bumped into it when they turned around, scattering documents all over the place.

After becoming financially well-off, Li Shanhe hired another twenty people, this time not to squeeze the labor of Hanako Kitajima, but to really advertise in the newspaper, hire twenty salesmen, and ten logistics personnel who were transferred to answer the phone.

"It's time to get off work now, right?" Semia Taniguchi looked at the still busy office area, "The enthusiasm of the employees ...... That's great! ”

"Because you can make money by following me." Li Shanhe smiled modestly, but what he said was very poor.

"Is overtime pay a lot? I want to change jobs. ”

"No, there is no overtime pay - this is the bottom line of the boss, overtime will never be paid!"

Nima, a black-hearted capitalist, Taniguchi Semia scolded in his heart, and complimented: "Mr. Li is so frugal, it can be seen that the company will definitely grow!" ”

Thrifty?

Li Shanhe smiled, maybe.

Although 30 new people were hired, Li Shanhe was equipped with 20 fax machines and 10 telephones. However, not all fax machines are Philips, and most of them are made in Japan. It's frugal indeed.

Semia Taniguchi saw two employees nearby talking in a low voice, and he immediately pricked up his ears:

"This number is a domestic fax machine! Liu, you go and use the Philips next to you to pass it over, I have all domestic here! ”

"How am I again! You owe me several times, next time let you run errands, stop making excuses! ”

"Don't worry, no, if the other party uses European and American brands, you can come to me to help fax! ……”

Taniguchi Semia was confused and asked, "Mr. Li, what are they talking about?" ”

Li Shanhe shrugged: "Secret." ”

Since Taro Nakajima said that the quality of faxes affects the number of subscriptions, everyone has used their brains and invested a lot of energy here.

When a customer calls and asks for a subscription, the employees will first ask the other party's fax machine brand: if the other party uses a Japanese-made fax, then they will use Philips to send it back; If the other party uses a European brand, you can use a Japanese fax machine to send it to you.

In this way, the clarity of the manuscript can always be kept within a certain level, which is not too good, and it is good enough to make the other party still clear after copying; It's not so bad that you can't read the words clearly.

Everyone knows that their worst enemy is piracy. As long as piracy is prevented, customers will be like grapes, and a company can develop a bunch as long as one person subscribes to join the club and relies on word of mouth!

With the development of one customer by one, this is the fastest way to tap the market!

Li Shanhe is happy to see this kind of small skills, these skills mark the deepening of the industry threshold, and latecomers must use time and money to fill these gaps.

The leader relies on many of these small advantages to drag down the competitors little by little.
