Chapter 309: Unscientific

"What about Mr. Sun? Isn't he there? ”

When he saw Di Xia, Xu Lang asked in surprise.

"He? He's not usually with me. ”

Speaking of the little junior brother who cooperated, Di Xia shook his head with a smile and said: "He is only responsible for providing the story of the full set of comics and part of the storyboard, and almost everything else is ignored." ”

For the current cooperative relationship between the two, Di Xia can be regarded as completely accepting.

It's not that he has no prospects, but after going to the editorial department of other magazines that day, Di Xia completely understood Sun Peng's current strong position, which is not comparable to an ordinary cartoonist at all! Since he wants to seize this opportunity, he has no reason to play with Sun Peng on the surface, but in fact.

To put it bluntly, it doesn't do you any good.

The problem is that Xu Lang doesn't know this, he said with a look of embarrassment: "But Mr. Sun is the original story, how can we discuss the follow-up plot development if he is not there?" ”

For this slam dunk, Xu Lang attaches great importance to it.

has such a large number of fans, as long as this comic does not die, it is likely to become really popular in the future - in Xu Lang's opinion, no matter how good the sales figures are now, they are all fans brought by martial arts, and it has little to do with the comic itself.

"Discuss the plot? No, no, no! ”

Hearing what the editor said, Di Xia suddenly laughed and said: "Look back and you will know slowly, our old white is very different from other cartoonists!" When someone else conceives a manga, they may draw the beginning first, and then slowly conceive the plot later, but he finished the story and the characters in one go, and then asked me to start drawing...... People have made several episodes of Slam Dunk's animations now! ”

"What?!"

After hearing these words, Xu Lang was suddenly shocked and couldn't help but shout!

He's never heard of it!

Your comics have just started to be serialized.,Relying on a large group of fans to have a good start.,It's not good to run the comics well, what are you doing with animation now?

Isn't that nonsense?

"Hey, don't worry!"

Seeing Xu Lang's incredible look, Di Xia said bitterly: "You don't have to ask, I'll tell you this directly, don't think of Sun Peng as an ordinary cartoonist...... Don't even think of him as a cartoonist! People write, write scripts, and write English songs, which are much better than comics! So this time he actually wanted to make a slam dunk animation, but the people around him persuaded him to publish a comic at the same time, so he found me...... You get the idea, right? ”

“……”

Not only do you understand, Xu Lang is stupid!

"So, there's definitely no need to discuss the plot or something."

Shrugging his shoulders, Di Xia said with a smile: "I think the key now is the number of serials in each issue of the Slam Dunk comics!" The speed of their animation production is very fast, and in addition, I have at least 200 pages of manuscripts a month here, and the first issue of the manga is more than a dozen pages, and the serialization will take a long time! So I think they'll be talking to you about adding space soon......"

……

"How many episodes of the anime have been made? Want to add space? ”

After listening to Xu Lang's reply, Shi Cheng was stunned!

How else can it be done?

"yes, I've saved more than four volumes of comics!"

Nodding, Xu Lang said with some frustration: "And I can see it, for that Mr. Sun, the comic is actually an accessory of the animation, and what people are most concerned about now is to increase the layout of the serialization as soon as possible, otherwise the animation will be finished and the comic will be less than a third of the serialized, then it will be troublesome!" ”

These are still small things for him, and the key is......

The plot of everyone's comics has been written!

As a comic editor, what is the significance of Xu Lang's existence? Is it just waiting for someone to send him a manuscript every week, and then notify the typesetting department?

"Uh......"

At this moment, Shi Cheng felt that his three views were ruined.

Isn't the operation of this version all about serializing comics first, and then animate when it becomes famous and has more fans? Your investment in an animation is so big, how can you make money without a fan base...... Oh yes, Lao Bai has a huge fan base!

But that doesn't work......

He's not scientific!

How much does your investment in a sports animation cost? At least tens of millions, right? What if the manga doesn't do well in the future, and no one will watch the anime? Aren't you afraid of losing money?

"Editor-in-chief, people are not afraid of losing money at all!"

Xu Lang, who had asked the same question before, guessed the editor-in-chief's thoughts, and said with a wry smile: "You also know the previous animation of "Peerless Twins", right? So far, he has lost tens of millions, and Mr. Sun doesn't blink an eye! The royalties of "The Peerless Twins" alone have almost earned back all the money lost! ”

“……”

The corners of his mouth twitched several times, and Shi Cheng was completely speechless.

However, Shi Cheng was silent here, and Xu Lang continued: "Editor-in-chief, how do we reply if you say that they want to increase the layout?" In fact, if the slam dunk is really popular, it is very beneficial for us to increase the number of pages, but I am afraid that we will not be able to squeeze the publication surface by then! ”

"Hehe, there must be a way!"

Shi Cheng shook his head and said with a smile: "There are so many serials in each issue, isn't it strange to cut the worst grades?" Now what you have to worry about is not whether there will be a layout, but whether the slam dunk is worth it......"

……

"Look, that's the problem of starting your own company."

Spreading his hands, Sun Peng said helplessly to the second sister: "Not only do you come up with so much money, but you also have to worry about what they are doing now, can you not let your investment go down the drain...... Alas, it would be nice if there was a company that I didn't have to worry about and could help me do what I wanted! ”

"Tsk, are you worrying a lot about it now?"

Glancing at her younger brother, Sun Ya asked angrily. In addition to making some decisions about animation, this kid really worried about the operation and management of the company? Now that DreamWorks has lost tens of millions on its books, has he really had a headache because of this?

"Worry, really!"

Seeing the second sister's disdainful look, Sun Peng suddenly became energetic.

How can you not worry about it?

At the beginning, he just thought things were too simple.,Just a slam dunk animation.,But then I listened to the "slander" and made a comic, and now I have a headache, right? The comic update is slow.,But the animation that started at the same time is doing very fast.,What will I do in the future?

And if I didn't choose a magazine at the beginning, I would have updated it directly on the Internet.

Now there are a lot of comics serialized on the Internet.,Although the income is definitely a little worse.,But people want more, less, more! Do you miss that little manuscript fee?

After listening to Sun Peng's explanation, Sun Ya was even more contemptuous: "Now you understand that you don't understand anything except creativity, right?" And the total number of episodes of that slam dunk, isn't it changed to 80 to 100 episodes now? You, when you think of a play, it's a play, and if you change your mind, isn't it just a toss? ”

"Uh......"

Opening his mouth, Sun Peng found himself speechless.

"Forget it, leave these things to your general manager to have a headache!"

Seeing her brother's speechless look, Sun Ya didn't want to hit him anymore, so she pursed her lips and said, "Now the focus is on your three scripts, but Tang Long has asked me twice......"

Dizzy, I just want to fix the bug, a few chapters have passed.
