Chapter 37: Comic book adaptation
"Great God, you finally have news again......" After receiving Yuan Xiaodui's news, Qin Ming looked like he wanted to cry without tears. Since the chairman didn't know that sentence offended the great god the day before yesterday, the ID of "Twilight Studio" has not replied to the news, which has made Qin Ming worried for the past two days. After all, he was one of the main people in charge of contacting Twilight Studios, and if things went wrong, Lin Youliang couldn't spare him.
"What's wrong......?"
"God, I've been drawing up a contract since you disappeared last time, and now that the contract is ready, I don't know what address I'm going to send it to. By the way, do you have a TT number? Or maybe there's something you can't get in touch with. Qin Ming sent a message.
Yuan Xiaowei thought about it, and this is indeed the truth, so he sent his TT number over. Anyway, I don't usually go to the space, and I don't have many friends, so I'm not afraid of revealing my identity.
"What about the address? Where do I send my contract? ”
Yuan Xiaowei was silent for a moment and said, "You can just send it to the Haifeng City Government, and the recipient is Chen Jun." ”
"Okay...... What the? Sea Breeze City Hall? Qin Ming was embarrassed for a while, I knew that the background of this Twilight Studio was not simple, but I didn't expect it to be so simple...... But that doesn't make sense.
"By the way, I'm online to release the second episode of Charlotte." Yuan Xiaodui directly chose to transmit online, and when Qin Ming saw this, he hurriedly clicked to receive.
"The second episode of "Charlotte" is also an hour-long version, and if it comes out of TV in the future, the editing will trouble you. If nothing else, each episode of the "Charlotte" series will be about an hour long. Yuan Xiaowei said.
Qin Ming hurriedly agreed: "Of course, if we have the opportunity to participate in the TV design project of "Charlotte" in the future, it will be our honor. After sending this, after a while, he posted again: "By the way, I wonder if Twilight Studios is interested in publishing a comic book version of "Charlotte"? ”
"Comic version?"
"Yes, not long ago, a cartoonist from Skywalker Comics contacted us 'Riding the Wind and Waves', hoping to produce a comic book version for the "Charlotte" series, and it is easy to say in terms of revenue." Qin Ming also knew that Twilight was very light on money, so he didn't elaborate on the specific revenue share.
Yuan Xiaowei thought for a moment and asked, "How about this 'riding the wind and waves' painting style?" Do you have a plan to publish your manuscript? ”
Qin Ming immediately sent the plan provided by "Tianxing Comics" and the character design drawings of "Charlotte", and added: "Riding the Wind and Waves is a first-line painter in the industry, although his reputation is not very big, but his painting style is excellent, and he has also gained a lot of fans, and he can find a lot of comic works on the Internet." ”
Yuan Xiaodui received the plan and character drawing, looked at it, the painting style is okay, it is very close to the original, and the plan is also very detailed, and it looks full of sincerity.
"Okay, then this matter will be troubled by Long Teng to help contact, and in terms of income, please also ask you to deal with it together with Tianxing Comics. Just don't make the comics fall apart. ”
For the "Longteng" company, Yuan Xiaowei is still very trusted, the cooperation between the two sides is based on trust, and the conflict of interests is simply extraordinarily small, almost none.
"Of course, the chairman decided to send two professional artists from our company to be the drawing director and comic assistant of "Charlotte" at that time. However, there is another more troublesome thing, that is, about the follow-up of "Charlotte", Skywalker comics require that there must be a rough plot outline in order to be drawn quickly. ”
Comics and anime are different, and generally fewer people read comics, so comics are usually the popularity of anime. If the manga is written after the animation, the chances of this manga becoming popular will be pitiful. In particular, the animation style of "Charlotte" is excellent and exquisite, and it may not be comparable to the comics.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Skywalk Comics to want the plot outline of the entire "Charlotte". Maybe it was precisely because of this that Lin Youliang agreed to cooperate with Tianxing Comics and help get in touch. After all, for Lin Youliang, an anime nerd, there is nothing more exciting than being able to see the plot of "Charlotte" first.
Yuan Xiaowei also knew this truth, and finally nodded after a moment of silence, and said, "Don't worry, next Monday, I will hand you the plot outline of the first season of "Charlotte". Then I'll go down first, good luck. ”
"Okay!" Qin Ming replied.
After going offline, Yuan Xiaowei thought about it, and it was time to write the novel version of "Charlotte". In fact, to be honest, if it weren't for the task to complete the task, Yuan Xiaodui wouldn't want to write a novel, and even now, she only plans to write the plot of the first two episodes first, and then slowly update it.
After all, writing a novel is not a good job, not to mention tired, the readers are pitiful compared to the audience of the animation, and the benefits are minimal. Even with the huge popularity of Twilight Studios, the novel is just the icing on the cake, and the replacement of independent works is even more thankless.
It's okay to anime and comics, and there are a lot less piracy under the establishment of the copyright law, but how to prevent novels? It can't be prevented at all, and it can't be stopped. In addition, the competitiveness of the industry itself is still very large, the popularity of the novel is weak, and it will not engage in publicity, and it is embarrassed to advertise, which finally leads to the original novel not even clicking, let alone collecting and recommending votes...... In terms of the slow-paced plot of "Charlotte", if there is a chance to put it on the shelves, it will be a mess, and more than ten people are thankful, and even many novelists have to point to piracy to help accumulate popularity, not to mention making money, and it is good not to pay for electricity.
Fortunately, Yuan Xiaowei doesn't plan to post it on the website, she just has time to write something similar to the outline and post it to the dimensional gap in her spare time, and someone can read it, no one Anyway, she doesn't expect this. Writing a novel is just incidental, and adapting the outline into a manga is the first priority.
……
At the same time, Jiang Qingfeng's office.
"Chen Jun! You're not a big man, why are you still so unstable? Jiang Qingfeng looked at Chen Jun standing in front of him with an angry face: "I put my daughter in your hands because I am at ease with you." But what about you? That's how you put me at ease?! Fortunately, nothing happened, or Lao Tzu would have asked you to sweep the streets! ”
Chen Jun sighed and said, "I'm sorry, master. ”
"Are you sorry for me? It's me who is sorry for you! Jiang Qingfeng slapped it on the table, and after a while, his anger subsided, and he sighed and said, "Alas, Chen Jun." Actually, I, the mayor, are to blame for this matter, but I didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen after Haifeng City was rectified for so long. You go and tell Xiao Zhang that this matter must be investigated, and Seabreeze City can't allow this kind of thing to happen again! I don't care what the identity of the person in charge is, once it is found out, it must be severely punished! ”
"Yes, sir!"
"How many years have you been an old friend, you still can't change your temperament, what age is this? What's it called, master? Jiang Qingfeng stood up and patted Chen Jun on the shoulder: "By the way, I heard that Xiao Du seems to be doing some live broadcast on the Internet recently?" You help me remind her that it's better not to get that kind of thing. Just play it, if you let those who have a heart know the impact, it's not good. ”
"Yes, but sir, the eldest lady seems to have noticed this and did not appear on the Internet."
"Isn't that of course? If you show up, then what am I looking for you? I'd been training her with her mother a long time ago! ”
