Chapter 58: Be Honest
Quitting his job.
Lin Hao first started his creative journey about the second comic at home.
This is the plan he had mentioned to Zhao Jing before after the year, and now it can be implemented.
It's just that this time he didn't plan to get started on his own, because there were other things to do in the future, so he wanted to throw all the comics to the other party to draw.
For Zhao Jing's painting skills, Lin Hao himself has evaluated.
So this time he chose a comic work that is a little more difficult.
"Death Note."
It's a subject that tests the painter's work.
And in terms of plot, it is also suspenseful and brain-burning.
The story of Ye Shenyue and several detectives can be described as you come and go, and no one loses anyone.
Of course, Lin Hao actually feels that the protagonist is stronger psychologically, because he feels that the abilities of several detectives are forcibly given by the author.
The strong one is a little more out of reality.
But it's precisely because of such a comparable opponent that the brilliance of this comic can be created, isn't it?
Lin Hao recalled a little, he didn't have to worry about the practicality of the characters, and Zhao Jing could handle the basic urban men and women.
However, those monsters and backgrounds are very challenging in terms of drawing details, because in addition to the plot, the refinement of this manga is also very high.
Write down the story.
During the finalization of the characters in the early stage, Lin Hao had to stare at it.
If the painting deviates from this time, then the rest will be completely finished.
"Death Note? What is it? Do you want to draw the sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam anymore? After getting the comic storyline written by Lin Hao, Zhao Jing was a little surprised after seeing the title, she originally thought that Lin Hao would continue to create Gundam, because this is the norm in the comic industry.
What fire writes what.
Is it the so-called continuation of the heat?
Just look at the copycats out there.
But in the final analysis, there is still a difference between a high-imitation author and a first-time creator.
So if Lin Hao is willing to continue to paint this subject, then his attention is definitely the one with the highest degree, which is indisputable.
"Let's take a look at it first, I won't interfere with this comic, I'll leave it to you to draw it completely." Lin Hao said slowly.
She paints it herself?
Zhao Jing was stunned when she heard this.
But thinking of his assistant's identity, he nodded immediately, this is not a problem.
Then.
She looked intently.
The beginning of the story unfolds in the gloomy realm of the Grim Reaper...
Ryuk, the god of death, is tired of life in the Grim Reaper Realm and deliberately leaves a copy of the 'Death Note' on earth... Picked up by high school student Night God Moon...
After reading the previous paragraph slowly, Zhao Jing's eyes couldn't help but light up.
In terms of storytelling alone, this one is more appealing to her than the upper Mobile Suit Gundam, and the pace of progress is fast.
But...
This is another self-created comic theme
I've never seen it...
Just watched it for a while.
Zhao Jing came to this conclusion.
She couldn't help but sneak a glance at Lin Hao beside her.
This guy doesn't know what's in his head, and there are so many ideas, it's not an exaggeration to call it imaginative.
It's as if there is no creative bottleneck.
It's scary to think about.
Read the whole story carefully.
Zhao Jing's face was complicated, and she didn't know what to say.
In this work, just the story itself has given her a great psychological impact, and if it is replaced by a comic, the effect will be even greater.
"You're already a sect starter."
Taking a deep breath, she had no choice but to describe it.
Originally, the Gundam in the previous book had already created a trend of selling goods.
Although this 'Death Note' looks like a mystery detective comic story, it is actually more of a brain comic.
Because the traditional detective class will not have a connection between gods and humans, let alone this kind of notebook with names written on them can make people die.
Is it an exaggeration?
It's an exaggeration!
But behind this exaggeration, there are many black factors such as mystery, death, and revenge.
Putting all of these things together is pretty impressive.
Let's be honest.
She looked a little nervous herself.
From start to finish.
There is no break in the dense plot.
"Let's draw the characters and some basic scenes first." As for whether it was a sect or not, Lin Hao really had no interest.
"I know, but this comic also has to be handed over to Baihe's editorial department for distribution?" Zhao Jing couldn't help asking.
"Let's see the sincerity of the other party first."
Because the editorial department of Baihe had actively helped him in the settlement before, Lin Hao was actually a little partial and loose in his heart.
But there's about money.
It still depends on the contract.
This is a small comic editorial office after all.
Last time, he was cut off from making money by himself, and this time he is estimated to be much more cautious, but he will not be treated as a newcomer.
The choice is on his side.
"Okay, I'll get a sniff first." Zhao Jing also nodded in understanding.
"By the way, in terms of money, it is calculated at five percent of the net profit, what do you think?" Lin Hao raised at this time.
Zhao Jing was silent for a while.
Five percent of the net profit was more than she imagined.
"What's the problem?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Hao asked again, maybe she was disgusted with what she was giving?
"No, so be it." Zhao Jing came back to her senses and replied.
Lin Hao nodded.
In the next few days, he followed Zhao Jing to complete the first draft.
Due to the immaturity of the technology, in fact, it can't help much, and is more on the side to assist and guide.
After basically drawing the characters and scenes in his mind, he was relieved to let Zhao Jing continue along the story line.
And Lin Hao himself came to Tengfei Entertainment Company.
Because he made an appointment by phone in advance, he came directly to Du Fei's office.
"Come, the newly bought tea, they all said yes, I don't understand, just taste it." Du Fei made a cup of tea for each of them.
"I'm here to tell you something." Lin Hao sat down and said directly.
"I'm so polite, just say anything directly." Du Fei blew the hot air of the tea and sipped carefully.
This tea is not cheap, you have to taste it.
"I'm planning to set up a music company, and I need a favor." Lin Hao got straight to the point.
"Poof..."
Du Fei didn't wait to swallow the tea he just drank, and directly squirted it out, and this first sip was completely ruined.
And then.
His face changed.
I was silent for a while, but in the end I didn't ask why.
Then he leaned his head back in the chair very decadently, then covered his face and said, "Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel a little regretful." ”
"How?" Lin Hao asked, and then took a sip of tea, and the taste was like that.
"If I had known that you were going to start a company, I shouldn't have helped you release an album." Du Fei couldn't help but sigh and said regretfully.
"That way we can continue our relationship."
"You're right."
Lin Hao didn't refute, on the contrary, he nodded in agreement.
If it weren't for the good sales of the album "Sea of Stars", he really didn't have this idea for a while.
The profits from manga and gunpla alone are not enough, but in fact, at this point, the two of them can basically guess something.
"It costs a lot of money to open a company, how about investing in my company if you have this money?" Du Fei sat up straight and suddenly proposed.
"Not interested." Lin Hao didn't want to refuse directly.
"Damn, my company is not small, you don't think about it at all? After you become a shareholder, we will be able to become bigger and stronger. ”
Du Fei still did not give up and continued to struggle.
Lin Hao just glanced at him, didn't speak, and then continued to drink tea.
"It's really no fun?"
"Hmm."
"Hey, you can even lie to me." Du Fei sighed deeply again, then looked at him and said, "What do you want me to help you?" ”
"The venue, preferably a newly built office building, doesn't matter where it is." Lin Hao replied.
"Buy or rent?" Du Fei frowned and explained: "In the short term, renting is more cost-effective than buying, and in the long term, it is the opposite. ”
"Buy."
Lin Hao's answer was very simple.
The venue of your own company must be bought to feel at ease.
"Shhhh How do I feel that you are so rich? Du Fei suddenly had a toothache and said, "How much money do you have in your budget?" ”
"If you count the decoration, it's about 20 million." Lin Hao thought for a moment and said.
The money in his hand was originally less than 40 million, but he spent part of it on his home this time.
Later, you have to leave some money to buy equipment, and then set aside some for emergencies.
So the number of 20 million is basically about the same.
That's it, you have to save some flowers.
"Hmm... It's not much, but if it's just the venue and decoration, it can be used so-so. Du Fei immediately analyzed, and then asked him, "What about the equipment?" Do you need my help? ”
"Preferably from abroad." Lin Hao thought for a while.
"Tsk, do you want to go to foreign trade, it's not a little bit precious, if you want me to say that our domestic ones are OK, it doesn't make much difference."
Du Fei couldn't imagine that the other party's heart was so big.
He didn't know which equipment was good to use, but it was really dark abroad.
As for his company's current domestic equipment, it cost a few million at the beginning.
"Can you get in touch?" Lin Hao didn't answer this, but looked at him in surprise and continued to ask.
"It's just a relationship, it's not a big deal."
Du Fei suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "By the way, do you have enough money, do you need to invest?" ”
"You want to invest?" Lin Hao was stunned.
"I'm not afraid that you won't be enough, why don't I take a sum of money out and buy stocks in advance?"
Du Fei plans to send charcoal in the snow.
Think about it.
If Lin Hao leaves, he will definitely not be able to hold it up.
At that time, my company was actually only a media department.
You can make money.
That's limited, too.
The key is that this building is rented by itself.
In the early years, if you have money, you won't feel anything, but seeing that it is about to expire, it will definitely reduce the size of the company at that time, and whether it can be opened or not has to be said separately.
Originally, he thought that Lin Hao could take a stake in his own company, even if he gave some more shares, it didn't matter.
But the other party planned to start his own company, which broke his plan.
Did they just part ways?
Du Fei is unwilling.
So it's not impossible to simply turn yourself around and be a shareholder.
This guy can come this far at a young age, and I don't know how high the ceiling will be in the future.
It's worth investing in.
