Xia Yan himself did not have too many secrecy measures for his actions, after all, he only had a new plan, and whether these news leaked or not would not affect his plan, and even some information leaks were more convenient for the spread of popularity.

So much so that in his fan group, many people heard a little bit of information from some relevant people in the industry, and began to spread all kinds of news on the whole network.

"Brothers, I heard the news from the internal employees of the old thief's company, the old thief seems to have a new plan?"

"Hehe, today is September, and it's not April Fool's Day, don't play this trick, who believes it? The old thief is now a hunter.,Sword.,Slam dunk three works are serialized at the same time.,There are Pokémon games to be released in October and Doraemon animation bd to be launched in November.,And his previous works have also been filmed and gamified one after another.,He still has the energy to make new works? Don't spread this kind of rumor. ”

"I have a friend who told me that the old thief seems to be recruiting some industry professionals in the name of the company in the field of comics and light, and it is said that the old thief himself knows that his energy is limited, so he is ready to start some new work plans, he is responsible for controlling the direction of the story, and let the recruiter be responsible for the details."

“？ I don't understand, does it make any difference? ”

"Just like some works are made into several versions of a TV series in a row, it is equivalent to the old thief providing a story outline, so that these recruited employees can flesh out the details."

"Huh? Is such a work still created by an old thief? ”

"That's for sure! Many cartoonists in Dragon Country are also carried out in studio mode, the main creator provides the outline of the story, and most of the drawing is carried out by his assistants, and then the cartoonists supervise themselves, as long as the level of employees hired is high enough, sometimes the quality of the work is even higher than that of the original author himself. ”

"It's true that after some martial arts in the last century are adapted into different versions of TV series, the high level of director will make people feel that the TV series surpasses the original work, but if the director level is low, it will ruin the original work. The old thief really wants to do this, it's not impossible, he himself is busy and can't control everything, but as long as he can grasp the key details, the quality of the work will not be too bad, the premise is that the quality of the plot of his new work cannot be low. ”

"The old thief's plot ability is still doubtful? He is now married, and it is estimated that he will make milk powder money in a few years, and he will definitely be more serious than before, so there is no need to worry about this. ”

"So now that no news has been exposed, you are already discussing this kind of problem, if it comes out at that time it is fake news, isn't it a pure waste of time?"

"That's it, don't get too excited, this kind of news is probably fake news. No matter how perverted the old thief is, he is now a model worker. Which creator in Dragon Country straddles the fields of comics, film and television, games, and animation like him? That's it, you still want him to come up with a new work, don't be too whimsical, he can't do it if he is tired of the old thief. ”

On the Internet, Xia Yan's fans have all kinds of arguments because of some news that catches the wind and shadows, and in reality

Xia Tang Animation Office Building, starting from this Monday, a large number of people have come to Xia Yan's office for interviews every day.

There are a lot of half-truths and half-truths on the Internet, and it's true that Xia Yan is interested in opening more comics, but the light industry is also ready to find ghostwriters, which must be nonsense.

With that little time and ghostwriting to explain so much, Xia Yan himself has completed it, and the update of 20,000 words a week is nothing to Xia Yan now, the plot is all in the brain, just a matter of a few hours.

He recently interviewed a series of comic studio members that Mo Ran had found through her connections in the comics industry.

Dragon Country, there are people who shine in the field of comic assistants, but they are a mess in the creation of original works.

Often, these people are active in the field of adult comics, as well as eighteen forbidden light illustrations.

In terms of art, he is impeccable, but ask them what are the best works in his comic life.

Actually, not at all.

In fact, strictly speaking, Mo Ran also belongs to this category of cartoonists, but her drawing skills are really versatile and excellent, as well as . She's lucky.

In the early days of Xia Yan's development, he established a good relationship with him, and gained Xia Yan's friendship and trust, although Xia Yan only gave Mo Ran a share of the comic royalties, excluding other changes in the copyright and peripheral income of the created works, but that's all, it also made Mo Ran the top of the income list in the Dragon Kingdom comic industry, and the combination with Xia Yan was recognized as the first existence in the history of the Dragon Kingdom comic industry.

So in the small circle of the industry, when Xia Yan asked Mo Ran to release the news that he was interested in setting up a comic studio, Xia Yan provided the outline of the script, and other cartoonists created new works according to Xia Yan's requirements, a large number of this kind of cartoonists took the initiative to find Mo Ran.

No author's attribution? What does that matter, it is Xia Yan who provides the outline of the script, and those of them who are good at drawing but are not satisfactory in the comic industry themselves don't care at all.

Anyway, helping Xia Yan work and draw comics, I know that I won't suffer a loss if I think about it with my ass, Xia Yan Xia Tang Animation's high salary is notoriously high in the industry, and the average salary of the position is more than two or three times that of the same position in other companies.

If Xia Yan can be so generous to the comic workers under his command, then the income will definitely be more promising than drawing those bad works in those unknown comic magazines.

Xia Yan, who spent her honeymoon after marriage, returned to work again in more than a month.

As for his wife Tang Yin, she still has to be responsible for the big and small businesses of the company's cooperation with the outside world, after all, Xia Yan's own energy is not enough to create the script of the work, and the company really doesn't have the heart to put too much attention on it.

Xia Yan in the office, Mo Ran in a green dress sitting next to him, the two of them kept talking while looking at a large pile of comic manuscripts on the table.

"Look at this Zhou Qing, the painting is more mellow, at first glance, he was good at painting and selling cute works, the role is not clear enough, not enough to make people profound"

"And this Xu Mu, um. His comic skills are good, but he didn't have a good reputation among the fan group before, and he was heard to have character problems, and he was financially constrained in his early years, and he was detained for stealing."

"This one named Qin Yu is actually the most optimistic about me, but he is too old, he is forty years old, and he doesn't know if he can meet Xia Yan's requirements when he has the energy to work."

Mo Ran heard before that Xia Yan seems to have more than two new comics, and now he is choosing a suitable comic master with Xia Yan.

Of course, in fact, no matter how you choose, Xia Yan's new comics are all named in "Xia Yan. Mo Ran", a cartoonist's pen name, really entered the serialization stage, and Xia Yan provided the script, Mo Ran was responsible for the general direction of the comics, such as storyboards, etc., and the selected employees were responsible for some details of drawing, and if the work became famous, Mo Ran was mainly responsible for a series of operations and publicity of the work.

Xia Yan listened to Mo Ran's introduction to the life and professionalism of these comic personnel, and his expression gradually became solemn.

The two manga he is preparing for the new serialization are Naruto and Pirates, both of which are works with a time span of more than ten or twenty years, and if he can, he hopes that the creative team of the manga will not change as much as possible during the serialization process.

Otherwise, subtle changes in the style of painting will have an impact on the enthusiasm of fans of the work.

The most intuitive thing is that in memory, there are two versions of the hunter animation, but although the voice actors of Siso's voice actors in the hunter animation are very good, Xia Yan doesn't have any reason to like the old version of the animation, Doraemon comics have been serialized for decades, and it's also the comics of the old painting style Xia Yan prefers, and the same is true of the animation of cats and mice, the old version of the animation style is all kinds of comfortable, and I don't want to see anything in the back

It's not that the latter can't work, but the preconceived thinking inertia is too strong.

Since Xia Yan is preparing to serialize these two large novels, he has to focus on the serialization span of several decades.

I can't form two teams, and I have a little bit of success, so the people below make all kinds of requirements, and then run away to go alone. In the end, Xia Yan looked for someone again, but fans must not be able to adapt because of problems such as changes in painting style

"Speaking of Xia Yan, what kind of endurance-themed comics and pirate-themed comics, can it really work? Could it be that the thinking is too advanced! After Mo Ran and Xia Yan discussed these interview cartoons, they leaned back in their chairs and looked at him with curious and puzzled expressions.

It's normal for a new power system in a comic to have all sorts of new terms.

For example, the "hunter" in full-time hunters.

The "alchemist" in steelmaking.

But that ninja, the professional name is so strange, but as far as Xia Yan's profile is concerned, it is a mercenary armed group.

That's fine, what is that One Piece!

Pirates as the protagonists?

It always feels wrong, although Xia Yan said that the protagonist is adventuring on the sea as a pirate, and the protagonist is basically doing things to rob other bad pirates.

But even so, will the audience enjoy the story of a black-eat-black pirate protagonist?

Of course, Mo Ran also knows very well that Xia Yan has basically spent his time in questioning all the way, but in fact, those who question him are often slapped in the face by reality.

It's not that Mo Ran doesn't have confidence in Xia Yan, she's just curious.

How will Xia Yan portray works on these two themes.

"Be brave and innovative. There were no works of this kind in the Dragon Kingdom before, but from now on. There you have it. Xia Yan looked at Mo Ran beside him and smiled.

"Okay, after studying the information of other manga artists tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we can start to form a drawing group for the two works."

Xia Yan's eyes became solemn.

"Mo Ran, you understand, I am now entangled in everything, and it is impossible to discuss everything with you like the previous serial hunter and initial D, and discuss it clearly. I can only provide a general idea, the specific effect of the comic products of the two works, the main thing is that you are in control. ”

"Still. Let me make it clear first, these two works are the kind of works that are very long. If all goes well, by the time the serialization of the two works is over, the two of us will be at least forty years old."

"Poof" Mo Ran's cup of tea almost spilled, and he looked at Xia Yan incredulously.

Forty years old?

"Hey, really? Are you saying that these two comics are super long that can be serialized for more than ten years? ”

In the history of the Dragon Kingdom comic industry, there are very few such ultra-long-form works, almost none.

The reason is very simple, super long works, it must be a popular comic.

Without this kind of popularity, this kind of fan base, it is impossible for the market to buy its account after this work has been serialized to hundreds of words, if the plot is not particularly exciting, at this length, the fans would have run out long ago.

"Yes, if it is not surprising, these two works may not necessarily have a higher score than the hunter and the initial D. But in terms of commercial value, it will be several times as much, or even ten times as much." Xia Yan said softly.

But the weight in Xia Yan's words made Mo Ran dizzy.

The hunter has already made the two of them more than hundreds of millions, several times, or even ten times more commercial value?

What's that?

The ease on Mo Ran's expression also disappeared.

She knows very well that Xia Yan is not the kind of person who likes to brag, and even judge it afterwards, Xia Yan was once considered by everyone to be a bragging, but he is actually conservative.

I thought that Xia Yan only started a new comic because he was too eager to create, but if he had this kind of confidence.

Mo Ran took a deep breath and looked at the submitted comics on the table.

The studio selection of these two comic works has to be more careful.

In the next few days, Xia Yan was busy with this matter.

At the same time, he also informed the Beizhou Comics Agency of the information that he had a new comic.

Xia Yan knew that once he decided on the studio candidate, the production speed of the finished comic product would be very fast.

You have to say hello to the Beizhou Comics Club in advance and reserve a serial seat for the comic journal.

In this regard, the Beizhou Comics Club was naturally pleasantly surprised.

Since the development of the journal "Beizhou", the sales volume has stabilized and ranked first in the Dragon Country, but in fact, it is not so advantageous.

Xia Yan's popularity is indeed very high, but he only plays a finishing touch to the sales of Beizhou comics, not all.

Twenty works in a comic journal, and the quality of other works is equally critical.

But if Xia Yan still has two works to be serialized, it will be different.

The quality does not have to catch up with the hunter, there can be a hunter, and the headline D is enough.

Of course, Xia Yan's new comics need to be created by a studio, and the requirement of full copyright is not a problem for Beizhou.

It is already very good to be able to rely on Xia Yan's works to stabilize the status of the No. 1 comic club in the Dragon Kingdom, and at this time, greed will force Xia Yan away, and the gains outweigh the losses.

So in this regard, everything is going very smoothly, and even Beizhou Comics Club recommended a few cartoonists who are not famous, but have strong strength and financial embarrassment to Xia Yan to serve as a reference for studio candidates.

September, just like that, flies by

At the beginning of October, the first Pokémon game was released.

Unlike the mediocre results expected by the outside world, the game sales of Pokémon have greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

It's true that there aren't many teenagers who buy this game, but there are elementary school students

This kind of adventure game from pet raising that is God!

In less than two weeks after its release, the game's total sales in Dragon Country exceeded 1.5 million, and the global sales exceeded 3 million.

This achievement is nothing in the history of the game industry, but considering that this is the result handed over by Xia Yan in his first game

That would be outrageous.

Xia Yan didn't expect the Pokémon IP to take off all over the world by relying on the original game, anyway, the trickle of water is long-term, take your time, he has patience.

The original game just built a fan base

The second generation of Pokémon games, which are really big investments, big sums, and stunning game graphics, are now under development in the company's game department.

By mid-October

Xia Yan's comic studio team here has been formed, and

Xia Yan had already handed over the pre-script of One Piece and Hokage to Mo Ran.

He is also in the character design, and in terms of painting style, he requires his subordinates to follow him, and Mo Ran is responsible for other aspects.

And the Beizhou Comics Club finally announced tens of millions and hundreds of millions of comic fans in the Dragon Kingdom in October.

In the first week of "Beizhou Comics" in November, Xia Yan made two new comics.

"Naruto" and "One Piece" will be serialized in the first episode simultaneously.

These two works, in the parallel world, are tied with the Grim Reaper for the title of the three major migrant workers.

In the Dragon Kingdom, Xia Yan also let the two of them compete simultaneously, spreading the battle of the Sea of Fire in the parallel world to the Dragon Kingdom.

As for the Grim Reaper.

After the hunter is finished, if Xia Yan still has enough energy, he may also let it join the battle.

Let the sea of dead fire also become the three pillar works of this period in the history of the Dragon Kingdom comics.

The current fans of Beizhou Comics and Xia Yan are still unclear about what kind of changes the two new comics will be serialized in November to the Dragon Kingdom comic industry.

Xia Yan's fans are just simple, after seeing the news.

On this day, plunged into a collective.

The news that has been chasing after the wind on the Internet for two months is actually true?

Xia Yan's old thief really wants to earn milk powder money in advance for the children he hasn't seen yet?
