404. Past works

"Rain and cool ......" Huang Yuan typed these two words into the search box of the Black Island Comics Network.

Soon, a bunch of entries appeared, but according to the matching accuracy, the two works that appeared on the top floor should be painted by Liang Yu. Huang Yuan looked at the popularity of browsing, obediently, the number of clicks has exceeded 100 million, but this count should not be calculated according to the head, but according to the IP.

But even so, this click is very scary, because when Huang Yuan entered this website just now, he took a look at the works published on the homepage list, and there were tens of millions of clicks, which was already very scary.

With an inexplicable feeling of not knowing whether it was pride or pilgrimage, Huang Yuan clicked on this scary work with high clicks, but he first browsed the following messages, but there was nothing to see, most of them were worship, incense and the like, after all, when Liang Yu painted these two works, it was too long ago.

Huang Yuan looked at the two works with the eyes of a professional comic editor.

Liang Yu should be talking about the comic "Untitled", when he painted this work, it was completely because he learned about her and her father from his mother, and he created the work with feelings. The whole story is in the form of a silent movie, and the story of a couple of men and women who are opposed by their families elope.

There is no dialogue in the whole comic, but just through that action and a depiction of demeanor, people can feel the mood and thoughts of the characters in the picture, which are reflected on the paper and in their hearts. It can be said that Liang Yu's quality and level as a professional cartoonist. Through this comic, it has been well reflected.

Although this is a work that has no problem putting it into magazine serialization, there is still a problem, that is, the plot is too short, and such a length can be used as a short story at most, but it is not appropriate to use it for serialization and make a movie.

"Okay, let's show this to Lao Qian first. Let's slow down this momentum first......"

Huang Yuan looked at another four-panel comic, but he also flipped through this one, after all, Margalilyn is not a comic magazine of this style, and it is useless to talk too much.

After that, Huang Yuan sent a text message to Liang Yu, asking her to think of a story with the theme of love again, be sure to write a longer one, he first took this webtoon to the other party to read it first, and see if he had any opinions. Liang Yu said yes.

The next day when he went to work, Huang Yuan called Cheng Qian.

"How's it going?" As soon as the phone is connected. Cheng Qian asked directly, Huang Yuan called him so early, explaining that the matter of the script should have a result.

"Well, yes, yes, but it will take some time to write this script." Huang Yuanxian said so.

Cheng Qian also knows that you can't give the other party no time at all, it's purely difficult for a strong man, but he is indeed forced to ask very tightly on his side. The director of the family is the first to ask you. It's to give you face, but no one who mixes this bowl of rice can take politeness as a blessing. In case people are impatient, choosing someone else at any time is as simple as eating and drinking.

But thinking that this was led by himself after all, and that people were indeed busy and not perfunctory, Cheng Qian could only bite the bullet: "How long will it take, can you let her write a rough outline or something like that first?" ”

When Huang Yuan heard it, he felt that the heat was about the same. He said, "I told her the same thing, and she told me that there is a comic that I drew before, and it is almost in a similar style, so why don't you read it first?" ”

"Is there nothing wrong with copyright?" Cheng Qian asked sensitively.

"Nope."

"Then you fax me over."

Huang Yuan said: "She posted it on the Internet, and I will give you the address." See for yourself. ”

Cheng Qian originally wanted to say something, but realized that expressing his opinion without even reading it was not the style of people in the industry, and it was not a bad thing to post it on the Internet, they themselves wanted to adapt it to make an animated movie, and they didn't want to reissue the original theme, maybe it would be better to have a mass base and popularity. He nodded: "Okay, you can send me the address by SMS." ”

The two received each other's lines, and Huang Yuan sent the website where Liang Yu published the cartoon to Cheng Qian.

It's all said that although Huang Yuan is an animation screenwriter, it doesn't mean that he can't read comics, on the contrary, most of the current animations come from comics and light novel adaptations, and only a few animation companies still insist on their own original works, but the trend of industrial integration is becoming more and more obvious, especially now that Chiyo's joint project is so successful, it will surely attract more capital injection.

To get back to the point, because he has a lot of experience in adapting comics into animations, Cheng Qian can see the pros and cons of Liang Yu's works at a glance. He has a similar point of view to Huang Yuan, and it is not possible to make a film with this work alone, but as a sample, it has quite a lot of shining points.

First of all, it has a strong Liang Yu style, has a strong portrayal of the character, and has a sense of the picture, secondly, this is a feeling, if it is a love work in the routine mode, Cheng Qian will write it himself, and there is no need to recommend others at all, but it is precisely because of Liang Yu's upright age that he can have this touching charm, which is why he chose her.

With these two points as a foreshadowing, Cheng Qian felt that he had been able to give an explanation to the director, and he didn't talk nonsense with Huang Yuan anymore, so he directly called the director's phone number over there, and then forwarded the address that Huang Yuan sent to him.

As a result, the other party quickly replied: "Yes, this shot is very good, you can let her add it, but what I want is a tragedy, the kind that youth love can't be together in the end, and I haven't said much about other requirements I haven't got a specific script now, you are an expert, you can grasp it." ”

The two of them finalized the time with each other again, because with such an excellent template foundation, the other party seemed to dispel the idea of looking for another candidate, and gave this side two weeks.

"Lao Qian, it's not that I don't want to give more time, but you know, an animation, especially as a movie release, has to set a good schedule, the production time and all kinds of affairs are very tight, and it depends on the face of the investor, so please do everything."

"Okay, okay, I'll help you get this done."

"I'll go back and invite you to dinner." Leaving such a sentence, the other party hung up the phone.

After the negotiation, Cheng Qian told Huang Yuan about the matter, and Huang Yuan also agreed. (To be continued.) )
