Chapter Ninety-Six: Creating "Crazy Boy"
Chapter Ninety-Six: Creating "The Troubled Boy"
The meeting lasted for two hours before it ended, and in these two hours, Guan Moyu spoke a few times at the beginning, and then kept closing his eyes and thinking about his thoughts.
"Okay, that's all for today's meeting, let's go back and prepare, and we can start the preparations." Zhang Ya concluded her speech.
"Yes"
Gong Qian and the others nodded in response, except for Shangguan Xiaobao and Niu Lao, who were left behind by Zhang Ya, the others left the conference room after respectfully signaling to Guan Moyu who opened his eyes.
"Teacher Shangguan, Teacher Niu, this is Guan Moyu, the chairman of our newspaper." Zhang Ya introduced with a smile.
"I'm glad to know, and I will ask for more advice in the future." Guan Moyu got up and said with a smile, the two people in front of him are rare talents in the comic industry, not to mention, just talking about the year has made the two of them a lot older, so he will naturally not be rude.
"Guan Dong, I am glad to meet, please take care of me in the future." Shangguan Xiaobao is kind and kind, he has always been known for his gentle temper in the circle when he is over forty years old, and naturally he will not be rude.
As for the Niu guy on the side, he is a little restrained, as a disciple of Shangguan Xiaobao, but now he has not created "Crazy Boy" that made him famous, and when facing Guan Moyu, a celebrity, he naturally seems weaker.
greeted each other and sat down again, under Zhang Ya's threading needle, the three of them quickly became acquainted, although they couldn't say how good the relationship was, but at least it wasn't as rusty as at the beginning.
After chatting for a while, Guan Moyu said to the somewhat silent Niu guy on the side: "Are you interested in cooperating with me to create a comic?" ”
As soon as the words came out, all three of them were shocked, and the number of bulls himself was the most shocked.
To put it mildly, there are four people present, even if Guan Moyu is the youngest, but his fame and status are there, and the most inconspicuous is Niu Lao, if it weren't for his teacher, he wouldn't have been able to enter the conference room today.
"Guan Dong said to cooperate with me? Caricature? There was a look of confusion on the cow's face, as did the other two.
Looking at the three people in front of him, Guan Moyu said with a smile: "I always like to go all out in my work, and in the comics, I don't play around temporarily." ”
"So, if you want to do it, you have to do it to the best of your ability."
"For the Hong Kong comics industry, all I know is the Jade Dynasty, which is almost the dominant dynasty, and my initial goal is to protest with it, but my work is still a little insufficient to keep up with Mr. Shangguan's work, so I hope to be able to collaborate with you on a comic." Guan Moyu said with a straight face.
"This" Niu Guy hesitated for a while, not because he couldn't believe Mo Yu, but because happiness came too suddenly, so he couldn't react for a while.
"Amin." Shangguan Xiaobao said encouragingly, very happy that his disciple could have this opportunity.
With the encouragement of the teacher, Niu Lao suppressed his excitement and asked, "Teacher Guan, I don't know how to cooperate?" ”
"It's finished." Guan Moyu showed a smile on his face and said: "This is a movie script that I was originally going to shoot, based on my early experience, plus some fantasy creation, called "Crazy Boy". ”
"Crazy Boy? Black. Dao works? There was a look of surprise on the cow's face.
Guan Moyu introduced with a smile: ""Crazy Boy" is a triad-themed comic, telling the story of the ups and downs of the protagonist Chen Haonan, from a 49 (the lowest member of the society), to a red stick within three years, and then succeeded as the speaker of the "Hung Hing Society" in Causeway Bay District, and then became the leader of the "Hung Hing Society" (the highest speaker of the society). ”
The story focuses on expressing the bits and pieces of "brotherly love" and "righteousness of the rivers and lakes". ”
Looking at the three people who were listening carefully, Guan Moyu looked at Niu Lao and said solemnly: "I am responsible for the plot, you are responsible for the painting, and the author is you and me." ”
"How? Interested in working together? Guan Moyu said with a smile.
"Okay."
Niu Lao agreed almost without hesitation, and his current status is not his turn not to agree, not to mention, this time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, as long as he grasps it well, it will not be difficult to get on the throne.
Subsequently, Guan Moyu stopped talking about "Crazy Boy", and chatted with each other for a while before they dispersed with each other.
Of course, the matter is not over, although the cooperation of "Crazy Boy" has been decided, but the specific matters still need to be carefully discussed, such as the distribution of labor, and a lot of copyright and other things, which will not be completed in a while.
Moreover, Guan Moyu is not interested in these trivial matters now, and everything is left to Zhang Ya to solve.
Leaving the conference room, Guan Moyu and Zhang Ya returned to the studio, said hello to Zhang Huimin, and continued to draw comics, while Zhang Ya also unusually stayed to help deal with the post-production of comics.
After a while, putting down the mesh paper in his hand, Zhang Ya asked, "Why do you want to cooperate with Niu Lao?" ”
Without the slightest pause in the movements of his hands, Guan Moyu spoke: "A comic weekly is not something that I can support alone, even if I have two or even three comics at the same time, not to mention, I can't put all my energy on comics." ”
"Isn't there Shangguan Xiaobao?" Zhang Ya asked suspiciously.
Shaking his head, Guan Moyu explained: "Shangguan Xiaobao has a gentle temper and is a person who can be friends, but he is also talented, and with a little ambition in his heart, he is destined not to stay for long." ”
"On the contrary, Niu Lao is not, now he is just a third-rate painter, I cooperate with him to promote him, he must receive this love, and the certainty of staying in the future will naturally be greater."
Speaking of this, Guan Moyu's face showed a touch of confidence: "Moreover, Niu Lao's comic talent is not weak, even if it is only a step worse than his master Shangguan Xiaobao, his future will definitely make great achievements in the field of comics." ”
"Finally, and most importantly" Guan Moyu's eyes flashed with a gleam: "Niu Lao has very little ambition, as long as we don't treat him badly, he will stay ninety percent in the future." ”
These are what Guan Moyu thought of before, in fact, there are some things he didn't say, for comics, what he likes is Japanese comics, and he knows very little about Hong Kong comics.
"Bruce Lee" is only known for its name, "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Fengyun" and "Chinese Heroes" and even "Crazy Boy" He only watches adapted movies and TV series, and the only thing he has seen is "Divine Soldier Xuanqi", and "The King of Fighters", even if it is these two comics, he didn't see the end from the beginning, he just knew the general plot.
And he is not in Japan now, but Hong Kong, where Hong Kong comics occupy the world, if you want to gain a foothold in Hong Kong, comic magazines with local elements are naturally indispensable.
He doesn't have much interest in Hong Kong comics, so naturally he has to find other writers to be responsible.
Looking at Guan Moyu with a treacherous face, Zhang Ya and Zhang Huimin couldn't help but glance at each other, and then quickly staggered their gaze, but the surprise and admiration on each other's faces were in their eyes.
