Chapter 399: Money Must Be Earned and Spent

"Sister, this is the talisman I asked for at the shrine, so you must keep it close to you." Zicai Xinna finally came back, Zhang Qiuxi pressed her on the sofa and sat down with great difficulty, and she took out a talisman.

Take a look, this is a small cloth bag, directly ignoring the twisted Japanese, can understand the two Chinese characters "Gomori", looked at it and couldn't help but say: "This is in it, it won't be crooked, and it can't be straightened...... Mao, right? ”

"H topic forbidden." Shangguan Jin gave Zhang Qiuxi a knife and said, "What kind of logic are you, how can you do this talisman?" ”

"That's how strange you are." Zhang Qiuxi touched his head, then turned to Zicai Xinna, and said, "Well, thank you anyway, but why did you suddenly send me a talisman?" ”

Zicai Shina said with a fluttering eyebrow: "When I went to the shrine, I did a divination for my sister, and I signed a lot to say that my sister will have a disaster this year......

"Crow's mouth, can you hope that I will be better?" Zhang Qiuxi also gave Zicai Xinna a hand knife, put away the talisman casually, and said: "If you Japanese gods can control my blessings and misfortunes, what are the gods and Buddhas of the Celestial Empire still used for?" If you're really worried, it's better to give me an amulet than just pack a shrine maiden for me. ”

"Ah, it turns out that my sister is a witch?" Zicai Xina looked surprised, flipped through her backpack and said, "I went to the shrine to be a shrine maiden during spring break last year, and I brought all the shrine maiden costumes, just enough to wear them to my sister." Sister, I've been voted the most beautiful shrine maiden in Meiji Jingu. ”

Shrine maiden、Shrine or something, Zhang Qiuxi learned from the cartoon.。 I don't know what it is, but Purple Color Nobuna feels like it will look good if she puts on the shrine maiden costume, and she just has a little expectant expression on her face. Shangguan Jin came over with another hand knife and said, "Can you two be serious." ”

Zicai Xinna made a grimace, hugged Zhang Qiuxi's arm and laughed: "As long as it is what my sister thinks, it is serious." ”

It seems that it is no longer enough to describe Zicai Xinna, Hongdou rubbed his forehead, flipped through the fandom she brought, and couldn't help but say: "Xinna." Anyway, you're a member of our magazine, and your name is well-known in the comic industry, can you draw something normal? Don't always wear a vest and run to the eighteen bans to participate in the same exhibition, okay? ”

After "Light Girl", Shimas Nobuna is indeed already a well-known cartoonist, whether it is in the Celestial Empire or Japan. At the end of the main chapter, Zhang Qiuxi gave her the choice of whether to draw the college chapter and the high school chapter. As a result, she also believes that there is no need to go for commercial reasons anyway. It's best to end it this way.

The biography doesn't draw.,I'm interested in the original.,So it's now.。 Zi Cai Xina pouted and said, "It's not because my sister went to the United States and didn't have time to arrange tasks for me, as long as my sister speaks, it's no problem for me to draw anything." ”

"Don't just know your sister, I have a task for you here." Ye Qingqing had been looking forward to Zicai Xinna's return for a long time. said: "You take over the machine first, the story can be original." I can't think of a good idea, I have a lot of back-to-back stories for you to use, most of them provided by your sister-sama. ”

Zi Cai Xinna was noncommittal, looked at her suspiciously, and said: "Teacher Ye, the big story of your underground adventure has ended, I can just be your assistant, why do you just throw it to me?" ”

Ye Qingqing's first big feature is called "Nobita's Underground Kingdom", which has creative similarities with the story in the original work, but the plot is completely different. After a survey of readers, the response proved to be quite good, and after a few months of serialization, it was completed and released as a single book, and sales in both domestic and Japanese markets were also considerable.

Ye Qingqing explained: "Of course, I want to change my style, I have been painting for so many years, and I have earned fame and fortune, but I always feel that my skills seem to have degraded instead, in order to avoid this situation that I can't draw anything except the machine qΓ¬ cat, it is still necessary to try other types in a timely manner." ”

"Indeed." Zi Cai Xinna nodded very understandingly, and then readily agreed: "No problem, anyway, it's not once or twice to be your assistant, and I'm also very familiar with the machine." But can you tell us what story you're going to draw this time? ”

Ye Qingqing set her eyes on Zhang Qiuxi, her mind is now full of "Machine Qì Cat", if she wants to create a story, she will only lean towards this side unconsciously, her inertial thinking is too strict, and she can't create a completely different story, it is best for Zhang Qiuxi to provide an outline, and then let her play freely.

"Didn't you say that you have the next plan when Shinna comes over, what is the plan?" Yang Jie first couldn't help asking, the theatrical version of "The Light Girl" is about to be released, and it is indeed time to arrange it.

"There is no problem with the story, but I'm afraid that Qingqing can't do it." Zhang Qiuxi spread his hands and said: "I originally planned to do ink animation, and ink style comics are not easy. But it doesn't matter.,Anyway, it's impossible to synchronize TV anime and manga.,It's okay to do it separately.。 ”

"Light Girl" is relatively simple, and the manga progress has always been ahead of the animation progress, and it is impossible to achieve complete synchronization, and it is not in the interest. Ink animation Zhang Qiuxi is determined to try, and the red beans also agree, this can't be given up, anyway, she has seen so much in her previous life, and it is easy to take a story for Ye Qingqing to practice.

"It turns out that you have already thought about it, no wonder you have been involved with Sun Fuqing for so long before." Hongdou said: "I also heard Sun Fuqing talk a lot before, it takes time and effort or something, is there no problem in all aspects?" ”

But what animation to do,It's not something that Zhang Qiuxi can do if he wants to.,First of all, you have to communicate with Hope Studio.,Make sure that there are no problems in all aspects before you can make zuΓ².。 Ink animation is even more so, although they are all from Shangmei Shadow and have inherited such skills, but it is difficult to say what the situation is now after being abandoned for so long.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "Sun Fuqing said that it will definitely be a little jerky at the beginning, although they have learned before, but there are not many opportunities to practice. He also promised that he could complete it, but it is also true that the cost of ink animation is several times that of ordinary animation, and it is not certain that the investment will be earned. ”

Don't look at the hope that the studio is booming now, in fact, it is not so easy for an animation to make a profit, and the higher the cost, the greater the pressure. Otherwise, the Japanese animation company would not do everything possible to save expenses, Zhang Qiu regrets that they can ignore the cost, all because the script she copied is guaranteed, but if you do ink animation, this guarantee is gone.

The roots of Japanese culture are in the Celestial Empire, and the works of the Celestial Empire are also popular in Japan, and the Japanese themselves have created Celestial Empire works, but now Zhang Qiuxi wants more than just the Celestial Empire. Originally, in time and space, Shangmei Film shocked the world with ink animation, but there are not many works, including "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother", "Shepherd Flute", "Deer Bell" and "Landscape Love".

There is nothing to learn from in the script, if you want to do it, you must either be original or copy a suitable story. And it is necessary to make some changes with the times, for example, the character design cannot follow the style in "The Pastoral Flute", and it still needs a beautiful style to be accepted by the audience.

Zi Cai Xina said: "Actually, our Japanese animation practitioners, in the last century, had an exchange with Meiying, they called ink animation a miracle, and they also initially mastered the method of making zuΓ², but no one dared to try it lightly, which was really too laborious." ”

"You can tell you clearly what kind of hard work it is, everyone already knows how much money is burned, how far is it burning?" Red beans don't have a clear concept, and they can't understand how difficult it is.

"The process of making zuΓ² is very complicated, cumbersome and time-consuming, and I can't explain to you how complicated it is." Zhang Qiuxi scratched his head and said: "Let's put it this way, a general twenty-minute regular animation can do one episode a week, and if you can do one episode a month of ink animation, it's already good." If the cost is invested, it should be multiplied by at least ten. ”

"In other words, an episode will cost more than 10 million or nearly 20 million investment?" Azuki's eyes widened.

"In addition to the background, the characters and so on have to be layered and colored separately, and the cost is not easy to say at the moment, but my budget is like this." Zhang Qiuxi nodded and said: "If we can accept this budget, the rest is not a problem, of course, what I mean by acceptance is being able to bear losses." ”

Shangguan Jin said: "No wonder Sun Fuqing has always said that ink animation is in a very embarrassing situation, although it is a cow, it is completely out of the commercial market, how can this develop." Who dares to fill such a bottomless pit, no matter how lofty the ideal is, no matter how complex it is, it is estimated that those who do it will be ridiculed as fools. ”

"So it's just us idiots who do it, aren't we?" Hongdou smiled and said: "We have earned enough money, and the amount donated to the angel fund every year is also recorded in hundreds of millions, doing ink animation and doing charity are not the same thing, but since we are in this industry and have the ability, isn't it natural to do something meaningful?" ”

"Fast and Furious's domestic box office has exceeded 1.5 billion, and the theatrical version of the light sound girl will have a net profit of hundreds of millions, even if the budget for each episode needs 20 million, it is not a problem at all." Ye Qingqing followed and said: "There is too much money and a headache how to spend it, now there is a place where you can spend money, which is a good thing." ”

Yang Jie wanted to sigh again that she was rich and willful, but she felt that if Ye Qingqing heard what others heard, she would probably not pay attention to any pity for the jade, and would directly come up and beat her. Zhang Qiuxi also decided to do ink animation because of this, and it is normal to want to do something meaningful when he has more money. (To be continued......)
