"Cooperation?"

Mo Ran was stunned when she heard this.

In fact, the proposal to let her find someone to collaborate on the creation of comics was originally what Xia Yan told her at the beginning, and the first thing she thought of was Xia Yan.

But when I calmed down, I felt that my thinking was too naïve. After all, Xia Yan is not related to her, why should he cooperate with her? So later, I took the initiative to find a rumored and powerful senior sister of the Light Society to collaborate in the creation of comics.

But it can only be said that the rumors in the student group are very powerful, and they are not enough to see in society, and the comic that cooperated with it collapsed rapidly after the first five words were serialized, until it was cut in half.

A comic journal with tens of thousands of sales is still competitive, and it is difficult for her to imagine what kind of competition Xia Yan's "Liuli" is now serialized?

Maybe the quality of the so-called popularity of those volumes, which can sell two or three million copies, belongs to the level of bad results and will be cut in half for this journal.

"Yes, cooperation. I recently had a good work. Xia Yan pondered his words while watching Mo Ran's reaction.

"It's not suitable for adaptation. So. I want to make it a manga-themed work. But you also know that in comics, I don't have much talent, let me draw a draft storyboard, express my vision of a work, that's okay, but want to draw delicate and delicate comic pictures. I guess I'll have to study for three or five years, and I can't afford to spend so much time learning manga in the hundreds. ”

After listening to Xia Yan's words, Mo Ran immediately understood what he meant.

"That. May I ask, what is the theme of your new work that you want to create into a manga? ”

Xia Yan looked at the curious look in Mo Ran's eyes and said directly.

"It's not a side-of-the-line comic, it's just an ordinary sports competition work, it's about motorsports."

"Racing.?"

A bunch of question marks flashed through Mo Ran's mind when she heard this.

The journey of youth, to the moon, unheard of flower names and parasitic beasts.

These works can be said to be incompatible, Mo Ran already feels that Xia Yan is enough to be imaginative in the creation of works, but racing works?

What the hell is this?

Wait, these works have a common element, that is, the main characters have love elements in them, and the length is not small.

"That. Ask me more, is this a love work dressed in the skin of racing elements? ”

Mo Ran, I still like this type of work.

In fact, when Xia Yan asked her if she wanted to cooperate, she had a very clear answer in her heart, as long as the content of the painting was not extremely outrageous, such as Tanmei or a woman in love or a pure meat comic, then no matter what the work was, she was willing to cooperate with Xia Yan.

"In love." Xia Yan actually hasn't finished reading the content of the initial D in his dream memory until now, but combined with Yuan Qing's memory, this work is commented on.

Xia Yan shook his head and said an interesting stalk he had seen in Yuan Qing's memory.

There are relatively few love elements in this work, "after all, drivers don't need women", which will only affect their speed of drag racing. ”

“.” Murala.

In the following time, Xia Yan gave her all the conditions and obligations for cooperating with her.

The copyright of the work belongs to Xia Yan, but the comic manuscript fee and the income of the comic single book are divided into three or seven points for the two people, and Xia Yan accounts for seven.

If Mo Ran agrees, then in a few days Xia Yan will come with the plot storyboard of the initial D.

There is no copyright, and the comic revenue is divided into three or seven cents

It's almost just a part-time job for Xia Yan.

Mo Ran only thought about it for less than half a minute and accepted the proposal.

She knew very well that Xia Yan would find her to cooperate, more or less because the two knew each other, her painting skills were really good, and she helped Xia Yan last semester.

But this friendship can only allow Xia Yan to choose her as a partner under the same conditions, and it is not the capital for her to negotiate conditions with Xia Yan.

Moreover, with Xia Yan's current status in the Dragon Kingdom's second metaverse, finding someone to cooperate with the comic can also give the other party this kind of condition, which is already extremely generous.

The initial agreement between Xia Yan and Mo Ran on the cooperation intention was unexpectedly smooth.

In the next day or two, he immediately contacted a well-known law firm in the Modu area, told the other party about his situation, and asked the other party to help him draft the contract.

Xia Yan has never been procrastinating in doing things, and after doing these preparatory activities well, he began to really examine the work in his mind, about the initial D.

Cooperative comics are not as simple as Xia Yan just engaging in the plot, such as a picture, the ratio of distant and close shots, the speed, tension, perspective, and atmosphere of the vehicles in the comics.

Readers don't care so much about whether they look good or bad when they read comics, but cartoonists need to study these things.

Xia Yan just gave Mo Ran the outline of the plot, and the initial D comic created may look like the original, such as a drift shot, whether the perspective is the left view, the right view or the top view, there must be a difference, a picture is still like this, a comic is hundreds of pages of content

Therefore, the painting may indeed mainly look at Mo Ran, but the content, direction, and storyboard of the painting have to be determined by Xia Yan and then processed by Mo Ran.

It's not a small amount of work.

In the next week or so, the twenty-second and twenty-third chapters of the parasitic beast were serialized one after another.

The plot of these two chapters is basically the life-and-death battle between the protagonist Xin Yi and Goto, the strongest parasitic beast in the whole work, which can be said to be a pure fighting plot.

The number of reader votes for the parasite has also increased since the serialization, but not as quickly as before.

But after the end of the twenty-three chapters, the parasitic beast's serialization order on "Liuli" also came to the fifth order.

However, whether it is Liuli Book Club or Xia Yan here, I basically feel that the limit of the work of parasitic beasts is here.

It's not that it's worse than the works above, but there are so many readers it can attract to this type of work and subject matter.

Blood, hunting, and cannibalism are indeed quite novel, and they can help the work of Parasitic Beast quickly accumulate audience fans in the early days of serialization, but everything is a double-edged sword, and there are a large number of people who don't like these elements.

But

Xia Yan is also quite satisfied with this result.

He doesn't think that a random work taken out of the parallel world at the quasi-first-line level can be adapted into light, which can beat the light world of the dragon kingdom and reach the top directly, and the light world of the dragon kingdom is not so fragile.

Liuli Journal No. 5.

For an author who was a newcomer to the light world until two years ago, and was still mixed in the newcomer selection competition of the new god ascending last year.

It's already an exaggeration.

At least last year, Xia Yan competed in the New God Ascending Journal, and except for Xia Yan, no one has been able to serialize their works in the three major light journals.

Late March

Xia Yan came to the comic club with a draft of the comic storyboard of the first three words of the initial text D drawn by himself.

Mo Ran frowned after taking Xia Yan's storyboard.

Although she knew that Xia Yan was a "little genius" in painting, her level was so bad that it was still beyond her imagination.

Her graffiti works when she was four years old are more layered than Xia Yan's pile of ghost drawing tales.

Mo Ran began to read the plot of this work carefully.

In the alternate world of the comics, there is a region called the island country.

Because the setting of the initial D is still very regional.

For example, in the island country, because of the small area, there will be what kind of racer exchange race between various counties, and what is the driver goal of dominating the road race of the island country.

Do you try to change the dragon country?

It may take a lifetime to walk through the cities of the Dragon Kingdom, let alone drive a car to conquer the local racers from city to city?

The area is too large, and this kind of ambition is basically unrealistic.

So the background of the initial D: Xia Yan didn't change it, and directly set the island country as an alternate world relative to the Dragon Country region.

There are also 86, fd, FC and other cars, Xia Yan has not changed. After all, the comics are set to be an island country in the overhead world, and some of the top sports cars in the dragon world are also in the comics, which is actually even more abrupt.

Just follow the vehicle model and age in the original work,Technology,Setting,When the time comes, the horsepower of these vehicle models,Torque,Vehicle parameters are listed separately in a table and attached to the comics.,Comic fans who understand cars will study what level of existence these cars belong to.,Comic fans who don't understand cars.,It doesn't understand these things if you change them.,These people must only pay attention to the plot.。

In the same way, the names of these places have not changed.

As long as it can not be changed, Xia Yan will not change it, otherwise it is easy for the work to change out of the bug, and it is not logical and self-consistent.

But the name or something, considering the reading habits of readers in the Dragon Kingdom area, Xia Yan still changed it.

For example, the protagonist Fujiwara Takumi has become Tu Hai, and the two brothers Ryosuke Takahashi and Keisuke Takahashi have changed their names to Gao Liang and Gao Qi, as for the heroine Natsuki. remains the same, and Xia Yan is the same surname.

High school student teenager in tofu shop.

The drivers of the Red Sun team came to conquer Mt. Akina

Gao Qi, who abused the local drivers of Akinayama, drove his top sports car FD, but was easily crushed by an old low-horsepower obsolete model AE86 on the downhill section that night

From this incident as an introduction, Gao Qi and the Red Sun team behind him made an appointment with 86 of the tofu shop in order to wash away the shame, and everyone thought that the driver of this car was the owner of the tofu shop, Tu Wentai (Fujihara Harata).

But no one expected that the person who drove this car over Gao Qiai's car FD that night was the son of the owner of the tofu shop, and the high school student Tu Hai, who didn't even have a driver's license

Wait until Mo Ran carefully and carefully read the draft storyboard of the first three words of the first three words of the initial D.

Her expression has changed from disgusting Xia Yan's painting skills at the beginning to a confused expression in the back, and her eyes are focused.

"Is there still any?" Mo Ran looked at Xia Yan expectantly.

The content of the first three episodes is rough, and the protagonist Tu Hai (Fujiwara Takumi) replaces a big round-headed character on the draft storyboard.

But Xia Yan's mastery of the camera surprised Mo Ran.

Because Mo Ran herself knew that if she drew the comics according to this storyboard, the effect would be almost a professional-level comic sketch.

If the storyboard is good, forget it.

But this sense of anticipation in the plot, what's going on?

The plot of the storyboard given by Xia Yan was hung in Tu Hai for the temptation of a tank of oil, and he drove 86 up the mountain to fight the challenger, and it was just right, and it was natural, almost making Mo Ran want to curse.

It's just that this kind of garbage storyboard draft has this sense of anticipation, what will happen when it is drawn into a real comic?

"Isn't the content of three words enough?" Xia Yan asked suspiciously.

"Isn't it customary in the Dragon Kingdom comic industry to decide whether to serialize or not based on the content of the first three episodes of the comic? If you draw too much, people won't look at it. ”

“.” Mo Ran's expression froze, but he hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.

"I mean, I want to know what's going on with this work."

"Well, forget it, let's not talk about that for now." Mo Ran's clear pupils looked at Xia Yan.

At this time, the two only reached a preliminary intention to cooperate, and the contract had not yet been signed.

Mo Ran took a deep breath, a hint of nervousness appeared on her beautiful fair face, and asked again with confirmation.

"Xia Yan, are you sure that this work is ready to be handed over to me and cooperate with me?"

"Hmm." Xia Yan also responded to her quickly.

"I see. I'll sign it with you as soon as possible, and "Mo Ran looked at the draft storyboard on the table.

"I may need more than a month to draw these three comics into finished comics."

"Is it that long for more than a month?" Xia Yan asked with a wink.

"Of course, I don't have a comic assistant, although I draw comics with speed and quality, but the initial D is this work" Mo Ran paused.

"It's a lot of fun. I have to spend a lot of time designing the characters, deciding on the style, etc. ”

Xia Yan nodded slightly when he heard this.

In fact, the original work is good, but its painting style looks too old now, and Xia Yan himself thinks that if this work is serialized in the Dragon Kingdom, the painting style will have to be changed.

The realistic atmosphere of the original work can be retained, but at least the female characters in this work have to be painted cute.

Whoever comes out is a pout, two big sausages on the lips, this is very dramatic.

Of course, it's acceptable to make the style of painting beautiful to a certain extent, but not too much.

It's too iconic, and it doesn't match the motorsport comics.

And this specific degree needs to be discussed by Xia Yan and Mo Ran.
