014 The era of AI
After eating, they chatted for a while, and then Zhuge Caijing sent Zhang Rilong home.
After Zhang Rilong left, Zhuge Caijing asked the girl in the back row in the rearview mirror, "How do you feel?" ”
"A smell of sweat."
"I'm not asking about that."
"No one in sight."
Zhuge Caijing looked at the road ahead speechlessly, "I don't think he has anyone in his eyes, but he doesn't seem to treat women as women, you see when we go, that beauty looks at him, and he doesn't even take a look." ”
"What about the smell of sweat?"
Zhuge Caijing thought for a while and said seriously: "It's a youthful atmosphere, the kind of handsome guy who has just exercised, and is very favored by women." ”
Perhaps realizing that his image was about to go wrong, Zhuge Caijing quickly said: "I don't think he has a strong obsession with his works, and he is not the kind of character that can change anything." ”
"Some people just think that their things are the best and can't listen to other people's opinions, and if you cooperate with him, you can give some opinions appropriately."
Yu Cailian didn't speak, and was perfecting Nie Xiaoqian's image on the drawing board.
Zhang Rilong's description of this character image is very vague, only requiring white clothes, long black hair, melon seed face, slightly pale complexion, and a slightly gloomy background.
This vague requirement is a test of one's painting skills and imagination, Yu Cailian recalled the description and image of Nie Xiaoqian in A Chinese Ghost Story, and painted this female ghost according to her own ideas.
It is not that good painting can be affirmed by the author himself, some authors have a strong obsession with the image in their minds, but they lack painting skills and language expression skills to express it.
What's more, I don't know what the specific image of my heroine is, but I'm not satisfied with what others have drawn.
This kind of thing is very common in companies, most of the authors and artists are disbanded after one cooperation, and some even have an unpleasant relationship not long after they cooperate.
When Zhang Rilong returned home, his sister and brother-in-law had not returned, so he went to take a shower and continued to write novels.
I don't know if it's a relationship with a beautiful woman to eat together, but when I take a shower in the afternoon, my energy is about to explode!
The body of young people is so strong, and it is no wonder that I always hear about American girls' classrooms and high school students.
High school students at this time are at the most powerful moment in their lives.
Zhang Rilong didn't want to waste his energy in the middle of the mirror, quickly calm down and write, and use his energy to make money!
The Ugly Fox
Zhang Rilong doesn't remember much about this, mainly remembering that a poor man was taken by an ugly fox and lived a good life after being raised by an ugly fox, but after he was rich, he felt that he was very wronged by serving the ugly fox.
In addition, the money given by the ugly fox every day is getting less and less, so he invited a monk and Taoist priest to kill this ugly fox.
Then he was scolded by the ugly fox, took back everything, and became a poor egg again.
The story is easy to understand and very clear.
Zhang Rilong sent a message to Yu Cailian on his mobile phone.
Zhang Rilong: This is the content, can you draw a beautiful vixen with black skin?
Yu Cailian: This is not the style of painting that I am good at, you send it to the editor and ask her to find a two-dimensional artist.
Zhang Rilong: Can't you draw?
Yu Cailian: I will be an ugly girl, I can also draw a black-skinned vixen, I am a realist, if you don't ask for plump buttocks and big breasts, only ask for a realistic ugly fox with darker skin, then I can take it.
Zhang Rilong: Then I'll find an editor.
Yu Cailian: Okay
Zhang Rilong: Don't you think this kind of contrasting character design is very interesting?
There was no reply there, Zhang Rilong waited for a minute and then sent the manuscript to Zhuge Caijing, and briefly said his thoughts.
Zhuge Caijing quickly finished reading the short story.
"This is far worse than Nie Xiaoqian, the depth of the story, the plot and the structure are too thin, it can be used as an interesting article, but there is no value in digging deeply."
Zhuge Caijing values commercial value, not the degree of interest and depth.
From the perspective of commercial value, A Chinese Ghost Story with more characters and a fuller plot is much higher than that of the ugly fox, and the ugly fox can't support a short story with commercial value in terms of word count or plot.
Zhang Rilong said very strangely: "I just write novels, can I just make money?" ”
Zhuge Caijing smiled, and said in a good mood: "Okay, I'll find a painter to help you make an illustration, can you write one in the future?" ”
"More works, more fans can be gathered, it doesn't require that the articles are all to the level of A Chinese Ghost Story, it's good to have more interesting short stories like Ugly Fox."
"I can't." Zhang Rilong said decisively: "This kind of thing is all made up blindly, and after they are all made up, if you can't think of it in your head, you really can't think of it, and you can't write one less one." ”
Zhuge Caijing quickly said: "I understand this, if I can't think of it, I can't think of it, but I understand it, my job doesn't allow me to believe too much in your words, so let's do it, I'll try to get you a buyout, so that you can create with peace of mind." ”
"No buyout!" Zhang Rilong said resolutely and decisively: "If you don't buy out, I will only sign a share!" Absolutely no buyout! ”
Zhuge Caijing advised: "If you buy out, you can directly get a sum of money, our company's business is very mature, like your work, if you can write a few more short stories, you can package and sell them to film and television companies, and you can probably get 30-500,000 yuan." ”
When Zhang Rilong heard this, he found that the situation was different from what he thought.
I thought it would be tens of thousands of dollars at most, but I didn't expect a short story to sell for 300,000?
If 300,000 are deposited in the bank, one day is ......
"I'll think again." Zhang Rilong is indeed short of money now, and his sister-in-law's family does not seem to be particularly wealthy, and I heard that it costs a lot to go to school here.
Zhuge Caijing: "Okay, I'll help you contact the artist first." ”
After hanging up the phone, Zhuge Caijing assigned an uncle painter with 30,000 followers to take charge of this matter.
Zhuge Caijing: Teacher Zhengnan, take a look at this short story and draw a picture of the heroine according to your style.
Zhengnan: Ugly fox? Is it Mr. Zhang, the author of Longzhong Zhiyi and Zhao Yun's diaries? I can't figure out his style, at first I read Zhao Yun's diary and thought it was a cartoon, a Chinese ghost story and I thought it was a classical realism, I was not good at these two painting styles.
Zhengnan is a stage name, all authors and painters will use a stage name, Zhang Rilong didn't think so much, and directly used Zhang Rilong's name.
Everyone else thinks it's a stage name.
A stage name is not a screen name, and it is normal to look like a real name.
Zhuge Caijing: Let's take a look first, Mr. Zhang's request is to draw a contrasting fox beauty, and give it to me after the painting is completed.
Due South: Okay
If you have a job, you will take it, and the main reason for making money is to take on tasks, and if you don't take on work, you won't have anything to eat.
In addition, I usually draw some pictures and put them in my personal atlas, and some people collect and save them, etc., and you can get some meager income.
Because of the cost of money, coupled with the fact that beautiful women and pictures are common on the Internet in this era, and many AI painting machines are grabbing food, most painters do not have a high income.
Large game companies have their own artists, and unless they come up with works, it is very, very difficult for artists to become famous with a few pictures.
The level of most artists is not as good as that of computer AI.
Especially some weird winds and scene backgrounds, etc., the beautiful pictures that are mass-produced by computers are fast, good, and cheap.
Artists in this era mainly rely on interaction with fans to meet the requirements of fans, and through these accumulated popularity and fans, they are very resource-hungry.
This time, Mr. Zhengnan is just drawing, and after he finishes painting, Zhuge Caijing will hand it over to Zhang Rilong.
After Zhuge Caijing made a simple arrangement of the illustrations, he picked up the prepared documents and materials to find the editor-in-chief.
A high school student with creative talent is worth the company's attention.
The talent of most creators is easily exhausted, but in just a few years, they can create amazing results that others can't get in a lifetime!
