Chapter 189: Dragon Ball
Still in Tianxuan Studio, Zhou Weidong spent hours watching the three comics that Xiao Ran read.
Of course, the specific serial content is actually less than one-tenth of the total content, because although Xiao Ran's hand speed is very fast, it does not mean that his painting speed is also fast.
In fact, because he has not carried out systematic comic training, Xiao Ran's level is really average, and he relies on nothing more than a deep impression of several comics to copy and draw.
So it is just that less than one-tenth of the content of these three comics has already taken Xiao Ran a few months of free time.
However, the effect that comes out now is still very satisfactory to Xiao Ran, at least even Zhou Weidong, an old man in the industry, can watch it with relish, and although Xiao Ran did not continue to draw the plot below, he used short text to make a detailed outline of each episode.
In this regard, because Xiao Ran's code speed is fast enough, and the plot is deeply imprinted in his mind, it is much easier to write.
And Zhou Weidong also found at this time that even if there was no picture, the previous serial content had deeply attracted him, so much so that just the details of the text made him extremely fascinated.
Each of the three manga has its own merits, and it's hard to say which one is the best.
For example, although the plot of "Digimon" is not too complicated, it is actually a few selected children who enter a digital world and then get their own Digimon, and their Digimon can have the ability to evolve, but they need an evolution badge.
And the content of the entire manga is nothing more than the evolution of Digimon and the confrontation with evil forces. It's kind of a general comic.
But what made Zhou Weidong feel the most novel and moved was the setting of the evolution badge in "Digital Tyrannosaurus". In this manga, Digimon don't evolve at any time if they want to.
Rather, it needs to be combined with the characteristics of the children. For example, Taiyi's Badge of Courage, Ahwa's Friendship Badge, Suna's Badge of Love, and Awu's Badge of Hope......
Especially in the last two episodes, Zhou Weidong saw that the children's badges were destroyed by the dark forces, but as long as they had this belief in their hearts, they could still make Digimon evolve, which made him extremely excited......
After watching "Digital Tyrannosaurus", Zhou Weidong turned to open the document of "Dragon Ball". After reading the previous serialized content, I feel a bit similar to the remake of "Journey to the West".
Monkey King, who looks like a monkey, and a pig, and a girl who led them to find the dragon balls, the previous content looks like the setting of only seven dragon balls is more innovative, and finally when the dragon god is summoned this time, he made a bad wish in order to block the evil character, so the pig actually asked the dragon god to give him a pair of women's panties......
This plot made Zhou Weidong laugh for a long time, but when he looked down. The plot has finally taken a big turn, from the apprenticeship to the turtle immortal, and finally the appearance of the Super Saiyan, this manga has its own characteristics.
Finally, there is "Detective Conan". A domineering man who goes wherever someone dies, in fact, the whole comic is just the process of him constantly solving the entire suspenseful murder case. Somewhat similar to the pattern of a sitcom in the form of a TV series.
But this comic is not a comedy, but a suspense drama where someone dies at any time. But if this kind of theme is put on a novel, it will sell very well. There was even a period of time when the sales of suspense and detective novels were not much better than those of martial arts novels.
But as a comic genre, even if you are not an innovator, at least it seems that there are very few comics of this genre that have appeared, in other words, there is no precedent for success.
As a veteran of the animation industry, Zhou Weidong naturally understands that the meaning of innovation lies in either becoming an instant hit, or hitting the street to death, with the current status of Tianxuan Studio, there is no need to make such a risky attempt.
"Mr. Xiao, these three comics are all first-class works, and now I understand why you asked me to recruit so many people back, it turns out that Mr. Xiao already has such good content."
In the face of Zhou Weidong's compliment, Xiao Ran did not feel too complacent, but asked: "So Weidong, do you have an idea now?" ”
Zhou Weidong said: "With the manpower we have on hand now, we can concentrate on one comic as a serial, and the remaining manpower can be responsible for the other two comics even if they are left, I think these three comics will have a certain market, so these three comics will be one of the focuses of our Tianxuan's next work." ”
"So which one do you think you should focus on first?"
Zhou Weidong naturally wouldn't be asked by Xiao Ran, but he already had an idea: "Let's focus on "Dragon Ball" first, right?" Some time ago, your novel "The Legend of Wukong" and the movie series of Journey to the West were so hot, and now there are many works on the market that follow the trend, and although the story of "Dragon Ball" was born from "Journey to the West" before, only a small part is similar, I believe it can bring more freshness to readers......"
Zhou Weidong's answer made Xiao Ran very satisfied: "Then do what you want." ”
……
Yanjing Golden Leaf Island.
In a few days, it will be the time for "Huang Feihong 2: Men to Be Self-Improvement" to start and worship God, so Xiao Ran has not much free time, and today and Tang Yun arrived at the examination room because of the Huaxia University exam.
Although the atmosphere in the examination room was very strict, it still caused a big sensation when I saw the new actor Xiao Ran actually landing at Huaxia University again, but it should be in the university, so the scene can be controlled.
After the exam, the two met for dinner, who knew that Tang Yun learned the new dishes out of nowhere, and strongly asked to return to this small world of the two to cook for Xiao Ran, so Xiao Ran naturally volunteered to be the first taster.
After dinner, the two nested in the sofa to watch a movie, Tang Yun was still holding a notebook in her arms, and during the operation, she found an interesting thing: "Xiao Ran, this year's Voice of China seems to be ready to start broadcasting in advance?" ”
Xiao Ran hadn't heard the relevant news since the end of The Voice last year, so he was also very interested at this time: "Didn't the online audition start in June before?" Cancelled this year? ”
"The online audition was not canceled, but it was just a month earlier, and the online audition started in May, and according to the normal process, it will be broadcast a month earlier."
"Why?"
Seeing that Xiao Ran was very concerned about the news, Tang Yun didn't sell it, and replied directly: "I heard that it was because the ratings of the Voice of China were super high last year, so as soon as it ended, there were constantly various programs to imitate, such as good Chinese songs, good Chinese music, good Chinese voice, Huaxia golden voice, etc., The ratings are good, but it makes the audience a little aesthetically fatigued." ”
"So Yanjing TV is afraid that the audience will get bored with similar programs, so it broadcasts The Voice of China in advance?"
Xiao Ran took the opportunity to make his own guess, but Tang Yun added: "This is a reason, the main reason is that in addition to the trump card program of The Voice of China, this year, Yanjing TV has produced other variety shows, including TV dramas and other programs, the ratings are not good, and the original program director has been removed, but there is still no change, except for the good ratings of the New Year's drama "Dragon Babu", other programs are still not good......
"All Yanjing TV stations want to rely on the good voice of China to reverse the decline of TV?"
Tang Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Who told you to press the copyright of your martial arts novel adaptation and refuse to sell, the ratings of "Dragon Babu" were good, Yanjing TV planned to launch a whole series of martial arts TV series while the iron was hot, who knew that you ignored others, you said how disappointed they were, and now the ratings after buying the copyright adaptation of other martial arts masters still can't go up......"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but snicker, martial arts TV series were indeed once a life-saving elixir for TV ratings, including in his previous life.
But there is a very important problem is that not everyone's martial arts novels are suitable for adaptation into TV series, in Xiao Ran's impression of the ratings of the adapted martial arts TV series in his previous life, it is just that the works of the five gods of Jin Gu, Huang and Wenliang can create ratings myths, and other martial arts masters are not enough to watch at all, and it is just a "Silkworm Transformation" that was once a dark horse......
Moreover, the more important problem is that he is not an actor, and any director is suitable for making a martial arts TV series, if you don't choose the right person, the effect will look out of place.
Xiao Ran also asked curiously at this time: "You usually watch TV series, what do you think of other martial arts TV series filmed by Huaxia TV this year?" ”
When Tang Yun heard Xiao Ran's words, he suddenly seemed a little disappointed: "Since the broadcast of "Dragon Babu", none of the other martial arts TV series has been able to let me watch it, and the plot of each one is not very smooth, and in the end, Yanjing TV was helpless, so I simply started with your "Dragon Babu" and extended a "Dragon Prequel" and "Dragon Postpart", which were directed by Zhang Zhenzhong and Qi Xinyi respectively, but the effect was miserable! ”
""The Prequel of the Heavenly Dragon" and "The Later Legend of the Heavenly Dragon", you can find it in Qiandu and show it to me!"
Xiao Ran almost died when he heard this, but he didn't expect Yanjing TV to come up with two such strange martial arts TV series, just hearing the name, Xiao Ran was already drunk!
His previous reluctance to sell the adaptation copyright of martial arts novels was naturally not to be sold high, but there was no suitable director at all, and now Li Shengtian, whom he valued, was valued by Encyclopedia Film Company, and he had no time to shoot TV series!
Among the remaining directors, Zhang Zhenzhong originally filmed most of the early dramas of the People's Republic of China, and Qi Xinyi is a rare TV talent, both screenwriter and director, his TV series Xiao Ran has watched it and appreciates it, but his strength lies in urban business war dramas, let him shoot martial arts, isn't it in the wrong place?
