Chapter 57: Zhang Heng's Ambition
Just when people were speculating about the true identity of the bull guy, Nirvana Studio quickly announced the interview information of the cow guy on the official website.
Niu Lao, cartoonist, formerly known as Qiu Qiming, born in 1976, is now studying in the graduating class of an art college in China, with excellent grades, and has loved comics since childhood......
"The creative idea of "People in the Rivers and Lakes" is different from the movie version in terms of details, but the creativity, general plot, etc., will be changed according to the movie version in a certain way, and the protagonists are still Chen Haonan, Pheasant and others......"
"Comics are my dreams, and it will also be the source of my lifelong struggle, thanks to Director Zhang for giving me the opportunity to be a newcomer, "People in Jianghu" will not be the end of the Crazy Boy series, under the inspiration of Director Zhang, the ideas of the second part have been collected, and in the near future, the comic version of the second part will be the first to face the audience."
"I used to be just a comic book player, I drew a lot of stories, and submitted them to major comic publishing houses, and the number of rejections was almost proportional to the number of times I submitted, and some publishers didn't even bother to send me rejected emails, and countless failures have made me lose self-confidence, and my nerves have been completely numb."
"As we all know, the tuition fees of art schools are relatively expensive, my family is relatively poor, and my parents have spent all their savings in order to support me in art school, and the pressure of entering society is about to make me breathless. It's not a boss's fart, I usually like to listen to Director Zhang's songs, and I often pay attention to the dynamics of idols. That day, I saw the registered capital announced by Nirvana, and I saw the future development route of Nirvana, the scale and blueprint described, and I knew that this was not what a simple studio could have. ”
"It's very promising!"
"I had the mentality of trying it out, and I submitted the resume with the work to Nirvana, I was like, of course it is better to work under Director Zhang, if I am rejected, I have no regrets, it can only prove that I am not suitable to be a comic artist, and the pressure of life may make me leave this industry forever."
"But what I didn't expect was that Nirvana not only replied to my submission email, but Director Zhang also called me personally and promised to publish the comic book "People in the Jianghu" in my name, and I was excited to tears at that moment."
"This comic is definitely not my first work, but it is the first one of my Nirvana rebirth, thank you Director Zhang for giving me this opportunity, thank you Nirvana Studio, to be able to sign Nirvana, this is the honor of my life!"
Looking at the official, Nirvana's editor's special interview with Niu Lao, people were dumbfounded.
This cartoonist called Niu Lao turned out to be a newcomer?
In an instant, the comic book players who were still hesitating and struggling burst into a huge light in their eyes, and they drafted resumes one after another, attached their previous portfolios, edited their mailboxes, and sent them to Nirvana Studio.
What are you kidding, a young cartoonist who didn't graduate from college was signed just because he was one step more active than us, and ...... A comic book is about to be published?
it!!
Countless manga hands crying and fainting in the toilet!!
The first step for a manga artist to become a manga artist is to publish a manga book, which is also the dream of all manga artists!
This is a big wave of industry, and most comic artists can only be gunmen for others in their old age, and those who mix well can even go to school to become teachers.
At the age of 24, Niu Lao has already begun to serialize his works in well-known domestic magazines, and will also publish a comic book collection......
it! Sure enough, it's time to become famous, this guy is a naked step to heaven!
With the example of Niu Guy in front, countless comic artists who are about to graduate or have graduated have been gearing up and submitting their resumes to Nirvana Studio with imagination.
Even some well-known comic artists are no exception, these well-known comic artists in China, without domestic publishing channels, can often only be serialized on the Internet, although they can also earn some benefits, but they get very little, and they can't be compared with physical publishing comic artists.
In the context of the sluggish entertainment industry in China, it is not difficult to serialize webtoons! As long as they have perseverance and talent, migrant workers can also be comic artists! It's hard to serialize in magazines, sell them physically, and eventually publish a complete set of manga collections, but that's basically impossible.
So when Nirvana Studio promised in the contract that as long as the comic artist was outstanding, there was a 60% chance of it being published and anime, countless manga were heartbroken.
As a result, the submission mailbox of the comic group of Nirvana Studio received nearly 100 comic hand submissions in just one day.
The whole page is full in an instant!
Cheng Huiyou, the leader of the comics group, smiled, although there are only two people in the whole group now, he and Niu Lao, although there are only ten staff members in the huge office building except for the cleaning aunt.
But Cheng Huiyou is not worried about the way out of the comic group!
Take a look at the submission mailbox!
Even if it is a first-class comic magazine in China, I am afraid that it will not receive so many manuscripts in one day!
After two all-nighters in a row, Cheng Huiyou screened and printed out more than a dozen copies of the comic hand's information, and hurriedly ran to the president's office.
After a while, Cheng Huiyou ran out happily, picked out the contact information of more than ten points of information in his hand, and then edited his email address and began to send interview invitations.
Sitting on the computer chair in the office, Cheng Huiyou turned the chair and looked at the glass door of the president's office, his eyes revealed great joy, and he began to infinitely imagine the magnificent scene when these more than ten cartoonists came to apply......
Nirvana Film and Television Culture Studio, President's Office.
Zhang Heng sat in front of the computer chair, browsing the official website of the studio, and saw countless people communicating on the message board, and a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Heng's mouth.
The trend of the times, today's Nirvana Studio has been faintly rendered by the outside world as a holy place for entertainment newcomers, and countless comic artists, screenwriters, and online writers have shown great interest in Nirvana.
Even in the past few days, photographers, lighting engineers and other crew members from major film and television groups across the country, and even new film and television directors, have secretly contacted Nirvana in private to inquire about related benefits.
It's a great thing!
As long as the time is abundant, after the beginning of spring, within half a month, a qiē will be on the right track!
Zhang Heng exhaled, closed the web page, and stood up in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office.
As early as more than a month ago, under the instructions of Zhang Heng, Nirvana had already started to establish and obtained business licenses and other relevant documents.
Gu Qi'an, the studio's legal lawyer, is familiar with all the arrangements in the legal field, and after choosing a work address in Yanhai Xindong District, Zhang Heng invested 13 million yuan to rent an office floor in Yanhai Xindong District.
Xindong International Building is 63 floors high, more than 300 meters high, located in Xindong District, although not in the city center, but the transportation is convenient, there are subway buses and other means of transportation for commuting.
Xindong District is a science and technology industrial zone of Yanhai civilization, surrounded by major technology companies, which is an ideal office space.
Zhang Heng went down to the ninth floor of the building, nearly 1,000 square meters, with a monthly rent of 540,000 yuan. The price is medium, Zhang Heng didn't think about it, so he paid the right to use it for two years with a rent of 13 million, and after careful renovation, the systems of various departments of the entire office building were all arranged, including animation creation, choreographer creation, song production, special effects, film and television production and other offices.
Counting carefully, there are more than 10 types of entertainment-related office areas, which is the core scale of an imperial enterprise!
Nirvana's employees add up to no more than ten today, and although it is only a film and television culture studio, the desire to register a group company in the future is faintly visible.
Everyone who walks in is shocked by the sheer size of the place.
Zhang Heng's ambition is fully revealed in the eyes of discerning people!
