Shang Haozhi calmed down, his brows furrowed, and he recalled the meaning of Bao Jiyi's words.

Listening to Bao Jiyi's words, it seems that the management is not against his proposal, but because his proposal is too general.

"If I do a good job, what do you think is the probability of passing?" Shang Haozhi asked.

Bao Jiyi took a sip of Coke and noticed that there was no drink in it before he spoke: "The management is not a straw bag, but as I said just now, your proposal is correct, but there are many procedures to go through for specific implementation." For example, if you have a contract for a manga artist, you need to re-sign it, and you keep saying that you want to 'resurrect' classic comics, but what are the criteria for 'resurrection'? Are they those out of print, or are they comics that have already begun to sell out?

"What was your list of comics that chose the first 'resurrections'? In what way are you going to charge, is it per call? Or is it some other way? Also, what are you going to do with the batch of comics that are in stock? Can you use webcomics to drive sales? Also, how are you going to promote the webtoon, do you rely only on magazine promotion, or do you advertise it in other media? How do you balance costs and benefits? Have you considered all of this?

"It's not that the management won't let your proposal pass, but it's a series of ripple effects that the magazine has to anticipate."

Shang Haozhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and sighed helplessly.

"Looks like I'm really anxious. But this can't be helped, the Internet is menacing, perhaps, there will be magazines that will be the first to launch the online version one step ahead of us. ”

"Then let them board." The corners of Bao Jiyi's mouth curled slightly, "There are often innovative companies that can dig the first pot of gold, but they can't do it for long." Since it is new, there must be imperfections. We just need to learn as soon as possible and correct our shortcomings. ”

Shang Haozhi shook his head, "ComicFuture is a big tail. I'm afraid that at that time, even if we want to turn around, it will be difficult. ”

"So, your plan needs to be even more detailed. Every time a design proposal is a simulation of operation, perhaps, in the process of designing a proposal, new solutions can be generated? Bao Jiyi wiped his hands.

Shang Haozhi touched his beard and also felt the complexity of this matter.

It seems that I can't really rush it, so I can only rewrite the plan and submit it again.

"I'm more optimistic about your application, but as you said, the company is too big, the use of the new model, it will bring great inconvenience, the more so, the more careful we have to be, if there are really other companies than we did, we must study it well, and then gather with the actual situation of our company. Keep up the good work. Bao Jiyi stood up, patted Shang Haozhi on the shoulder twice, and walked out of the fast food restaurant.

Shang Haozhi folded his arms over his chest and fell into deep thought.

……

Since Shen Xin wanted to fix the assistant team, Wang Wenhong also worked very hard to find an assistant.

Shen Xin's request is very direct, it doesn't matter whether the assistant has experience or not. Since you are using a pen tablet, you have to relearn even if the assistant has a lot of experience before. Moreover, Gao Hang can also be half a teacher, he is not too worried about this, but he must be reliable, don't work for two or three days, and ask to change jobs.

"So how many years are you going to draw your next comic? I'm going to talk to them about deadlines in advance. Wang Wenhong asked.

"You tell them to sign for three years."

"Huh? The next manga, only three years to draw? Teacher, can you draw longer? Wang Wenhong was taken aback.

The trip to District 11 was good, but he always felt a little apprehensive.

Shen Xin rolled his eyes angrily, "I would like to sign a five-year contract with them, but such a long period will scare others, right?" Both sides need to have some options. ”

Wang Wenhong nodded, this is also true.

He signed a three-year contract with ComicFuture, and now that he thinks about it, his contract will expire next year.

For two weeks, Wang Wenhong didn't find a suitable assistant, but Shen Xin's work progressed rapidly, not only did the story settings come out, but the outline and the characters who appeared in the first few episodes were also settled.

Shen Xin put a lot of effort into studying "Steel Forged" this time, not only carefully read the books related to the occult, but also the character settings are even more gorgeous, to some extent, even more than the original "Steel Forged".

Shen Xin imitated "Chess Soul" all the way, and in more than three years, his style gradually stabilized. Relying on the delicate painting style and the characters of "Steel Forge", it gives people a refreshing feeling.

Well, this situation is probably equivalent to Aunt Niu's name, plus Ken Ohata's style.

Ken Obata is well-known for his real-life comics, such as "Chess Soul", "Dream Eater" and "DeathNote", however, Ken Obata is equally brilliant in drawing fighting comics, and even can be regarded as gorgeous, and after the end of "DeathNote", he drew "Blue Dragon", which still matches the story very well.

This goes back to the previous sentence, name is the key to a comic.

A good name, with superb painting skills, can have a different effect.

This was Shen Xin's first reaction after seeing the line drawing on the screen.

When he handed over the setting, outline and character design of "Steel Refining" to Wang Wenhong, Wang Wenhong read all the content in one go, and a word instantly filled his mind.

Refreshing!

This kind of setting and outline has never appeared in Chinese comics. The two combine with each other to give a whole new feel.

But for Wang Wenhong, this freshness also comes from the personality.

He has been reading Shen Xin's comics for almost five or six years, and this is the first time he has seen Shen Xin design a character in a fight comic.

After feasting his eyes, Wang Wenhong once again set his eyes on the introduction of the characters.

This is just the character design of the first few episodes, among them, there is a blonde haired short man, a burly man in full armor, a dark-skinned girl, a bald big fat man, and a woman in a black tight evening dress.

""Fullmetal Alchemist" ......" Wang Wenhong glanced at the title of the book again, and felt that it was a little cheesy, even if it was called "The Gate of Truth", it was good?

However, this naming method is also more conventional, and the title of the book is directly based on the title of the main character.

"Edward is a little man...... Well, the arms and legs are mechanical armor. Mr. Shen, do you mean, this disabled protagonist? Or is he cannon fodder? ”

Shen Xin, who was designing the name, heard the word "cannon fodder", and the pen slid a little, and a diagonal line passed through the grid.

"Ahem, this is the main character! Protagonist! Shen Xin took a deep breath, tapped the table twice, and reminded emphatically.

"The protagonist? No way? The main character is a disabled person...... Will readers accept it? ”

"What's wrong with the disabled?" Shen Xin rolled his eyes, "Is his brother still a pile of scrap metal?" ”

"Huh?"

Wang Wenhong's gaze moved to the fully armored man again.

“…… In order to resurrect his mother, he used the human body to refine it, causing the entire body to be stripped away. At the cost of his right arm, Edward regained his soul and used alchemy to attach it to the armor. ”

After reading the annotation, Wang Wenhong scratched his head, Shen Xin actually chose a pair of not very "ordinary" people as the protagonists, which was a bit surprising.
