Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

Trigger Animation Production Company.

"In terms of dubbing... Mr. Aoyama, which of these voice actors do you think is more suitable for the role of Kamishiro Rize?"

Lin Qingshan and a group of creative team members were outside the dubbing studio, watching five voice actors in the industry who came to apply for the new show "Matou Ghoul" to decide who would voice the role of Kamishiro Rize.

The original painting work was almost done, and the animation production process of the Republic in this parallel world is generally that the dubbing work is generally carried out in the middle of the animation production. The concept of the middle period is that after the original painting of the storyboard is completed, it is the middle of the animation production.

After the original painting is drawn and the dialogue lines are decided, the voice actor will try to dub the lip sync.

This is also a more cost-effective dubbing method, which can slightly reduce the animation production cost of the entire industry.

It is indeed more difficult for the voice actor.

"Ah... Miss Kana."

Lin Qingshan decided directly after seeing the voice actor.

This parallel world also has Hanazawa Kana, a famous voice actor in his previous life, and in this world, Hanazawa Kana is also well-known in the industry.

In this case, he naturally chose the original voice actor.

Now "Madu Ghoul" and "Kill! Akame no Madoka" are still in production, but the pre- and mid-term work has been almost completed, and the rest is the work of the post-production staff and voice actors.

Lin Qingshan can be said to be a little relieved.

However... he has never been very busy.

Although in the eyes of others, Lin Qingshan is serializing the new work "Dao Weiyixian", rushing to draw every week, and is responsible for the animation production of "Madu Ghoul" and "Kill! Akame no Madoka".

This is almost equivalent to being busy with the serialization of three comics at the same time. He is even more hardworking than a model worker!

Compared with a certain four-character cartoonist, Lin Qingshan is even more of a model worker in the comics industry!

Well... Lin Qingshan is indeed a hard worker, but he is not busy...

Not really.

Because his drawing speed is different from that of ordinary cartoonists. His two abilities [Painting Kaleidoscope (Master)] and [Speed ​​Star (Diamond)] make his drawing speed almost five to six times faster than that of ordinary people.

And he invited two digital lives, Qiansi Fox and Nuwa, to help him draw the original drawings of "Magical City Ghoul" and "Kill! Red Eyes", so he is not that busy...

Even if he is a little busy, he is enjoying it.

After all, it is a happy thing to move the works he once liked from another world and "preach" them in this parallel world.

The three major hobbies of ACG enthusiasts are preaching, Amway, and pushing people into the pit.

Well, this seems to be the same hobby.

Anyway, Lin Qingshan enjoys it and does not feel busy or unhappy.

"Ah, well, after all, he is a voice actor from Japan, so he is really suitable."

The animation production staff also flattered Lin Qingshan subtly and said with praise.

Just then, Lin Qingshan's phone rang.

"Ah... Sorry, I'm going to answer a call."

Lin Qingshan picked up the phone and walked to the empty corner behind.

Then he answered the phone and greeted, "Hi! Brother Dahai!"

"Brother Dahai?"

Yang Dahai on the other side was confused by Lin Qingshan, but he still said, "Uh... Mr. Qingshan, sorry to bother you."

"It's okay! I wasn't bothered!"

Lin Qingshan smiled and said, "Brother Dahai, is there anything wrong? Why did you call me suddenly?"

Yang Dahai looked a little strange on the other end of the phone, mainly... Not used to Lin Qingshan's sudden affectionate address.

Generally speaking... Didn't Lin Qingshan call him editor-in-chief?

Why did he call him brother directly now?

I can only say... Mental patients are more joyful. Lin Qingshan suddenly remembered that he had known Yang Dahai for a while, and their names were a bit compatible, one is Shan and the other is Hai.

So he called him that on impulse.

Yang Dahai was still a little confused, but he continued to talk about business very formally.

"It's like this, WB Films wants to cooperate with you."

He said directly, "This time, WB Films wants to buy the film and television adaptation rights of your comic that just finished... Parasyte."

Since the movie "Edgewalker" became a big hit and a great success, Lin Qingshan and his other comic works have also received a lot of attention.

Yang Dahai is also very clear about this.

There is actually a rule in the film and television industry, that is, after an author's work is adapted into a film and television drama and is a great success, then their other works will definitely be adapted into film and television dramas one after another.

For example, there was a novelist named Yi Shu in the previous life. After her work was successfully adapted into a movie for the first time, her other works have been adapted into film and television dramas until now.

So after the movie of the same name adapted from one of Lin Qingshan's original works, "Edge Walker", became a huge success, his other works will inevitably attract attention and be adapted into film and television dramas.

However, Yang Dahai couldn't figure it out. In his opinion, the popularity and popularity of "Parasyte" were very low among all Lin Qingshan's works, although the quality of the work was well-known.

But with such low popularity and heat, and the relatively bland plot, why choose to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "Parasyte"?

And logically speaking, WB Films, as a North American film company, should prefer to adapt works like "Edgewalker" whose story background is more inclined to the Western world.

In this case, wouldn't "Flame Fist" and "Chainsaw Man" be more suitable?

Especially "Flame Fist", the basic characters are European and American names, and the background is the end of the world after the ice age, which is simply the most suitable.

The story background of "Parasyte" is in the Republic, and the plot is bland and the popularity is low. Yang Dahai can't figure out why WB Films chose to adapt "Parasyte".

But WB Films has made such a decision, what else can he say?

Anyway, selling the copyright of "Flame Fist" is also selling, selling the copyright of "Parasyte" is also selling, what's the difference?

After hearing what Yang Dahai said, Lin Qingshan suddenly realized and said, "Oh... So that's the case. Then we will have a face-to-face meeting like last time."

"Okay... I guess we will meet at the company around next Friday to discuss together."

Yang Dahai said, "At that time, I hope the teacher will come over in person."

"Haha, it's okay. I don't have anything to do recently anyway."

Lin Qingshan said indifferently.

Then both parties hung up the phone, and Lin Qingshan devoted himself to the production of the two new animations "Magic City Ghoul" and "Kill! Red Eyes".

After finishing his work, he went home to cook so that Gu Qianli could enjoy a sumptuous dinner when he came back.

Although they have recently confirmed their relationship, Lin Qingshan feels that his relationship with Gu Qianli is similar to that before they confirmed their relationship.

It's just that occasionally the two of them will have a conversation that makes both of them blush and their eyes rub against each other's ears and entangle their body fluids when they are alone.

Apart from that, the two of them were just the way they usually were in front of everyone, neither too distant nor too close.

But everyone also knew about the changes in their relationship, and began to tease them more freely.

...

Soon, Friday arrived.

When the agreed time came, a senior executive of WB Films and a professional negotiation team took a flight to the Republic again.

But this time, Nolan was not accompanying them, but another director in charge of TV series who had cooperated with WB Films.

Kevin looked at the familiar scenery of the high-rise buildings in the most prosperous city of the Republic called Magic City, and he was a little emotional. The prosperity of Magic City was indeed not inferior to their XX City in Amei.

Similarly, in this prosperous city, there are also top creators who are not inferior to their top screenwriters and authors in Amei.

After the great success of the movie "Edgewalker" and breaking the historical box office record, the inside of WB Films was really full of singing and dancing, and joy.

In fact, the investment in the movie "EdgeWalker" is not "particularly high", at least compared to "Avatar", the production investment of "EdgeWalker" is not particularly high.

Although the special effects production cost of the prosthesis is not small, it is really not as luxurious as the special effects production cost of "Avatar", which is almost full of special effects for alien scenes.

But the final total box office of the movie "EdgeWalker" directly surpassed "Avatar".

This is something that WB Films did not expect, and there is no doubt that the unprecedented success of the movie "EdgeWalker" is first attributed to the vision and directing ability of the famous director Chris Nolan.

The second is naturally Lin Qingshan, the original author of the cyberpunk comic "EdgeWalker"!

The setting and plot of the cyberpunk comic "EdgeWalker" are simply amazing.

It is really hard to imagine how someone could come up with such a crazy setting and plot.

The person who can come up with such an unexpected and wonderful setting and plot is really a genius!

Originally, WB Films might not believe what Nolan said about how amazing Lin Qingshan's talent is and how wonderful his works are.

But now, after seeing the box office performance of the movie "EdgeWalker" and the huge profits it brought, they all changed their words-

The teacher Qingshan who created "EdgeWalker" is really a genius!

"EdgeWalker", this debut work, is so amazing, how bad can his other works be?

So the senior management asked people to study Lin Qingshan's other works, "Flame Fist", "Chainsaw Man", "Vortex", "Parasyte", and even "Goodbye Eri", well... they are indeed excellent works.

But they also had a dilemma. Other comic works are too long. The plots and settings of "Flame Fist" and "Chainsaw Man" are indeed quite suitable for their European and American worldviews, but they are too long!

"Chainsaw Man" is more of a worldview within the Republic, so even if it is a setting related to demons, it is not very suitable.

"Goodbye Eri" is short, but the story and plot are like an art film, and it is more suitable for the style of art films in the Republic.

"Vortex"... This comic theme can only be used to make a horror movie, well... It's not impossible, but let's not consider it for now.

So... they looked at "Parasyte", which is not very long, and its environmental theme is very much in line with the recent public opinion trend here.

However, they do not plan to make a movie directly according to the original work, but to make some adaptations into TV series that conform to their aesthetics and worldview!

This is also something that has been decided internally. If the results are good, they can adapt and create a commercial science fiction masterpiece according to the same setting.

I believe that with the success of the last cooperation, Manjie Comics Company will choose to cooperate with them this time.

Kevin held great confidence and came to Manjie Company with the company's professional negotiation elites after getting off the plane.

They followed the receptionist who had been arranged at the door of Manjie Company and came to the conference room of Manjie Company's office building.

"Editor-in-chief, Mr. Qingshan, the people from WB Films are here."

A staff member walked in and said to Yang Dahai and Lin Qingshan who had been waiting in the conference room for a long time.

"Oh! Finally here!"

Lin Qingshan said excitedly.

"Teacher, let's go to greet them."

Yang Dahai stood up and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay!"

Lin Qingshan stood up and walked out with Yang Dahai.

"Oh, my friend, welcome to the Manjie."

Yang Dahai was the first to greet him and gave a hug to the man in the lead.

Although he was a little confused, it seemed that the senior executive who came to negotiate this time was not the white-haired foreigner Miles last time, but he still maintained a good quality.

Kevin also greeted him in a friendly manner, and then he looked at Lin Qingshan and said with a smile, "Mr. Qingshan, long time no see, you are still as charming as ever."

Last time, he actually met Lin Qingshan when he accompanied Nolan, but he was not the head of the negotiation team last time. This time, because of the success of the "Edgewalker" movie project, he was promoted and became the highest person in charge of this negotiation project.

"Haha, thank you."

Although Lin Qingshan didn't remember Kevin very much, he still responded politely with a laugh.

Soon, a group of people walked into the conference room.

"It was quite pleasant to cooperate with your company last time. Mr. Qingshan's work is quite excellent."

After Kevin came into the conference room and sat down, he smiled and said first.

"Yes, the last cooperation was quite pleasant, so is your company the same this time?"

Yang Dahai asked with a smile, "The copyright and cooperation plan of "Parasyte" are the same as last time?"

"No, no, no, my friend, I'm not saying..."

Kevin said with a tangled face, "The work "Parasyte" should not be comparable to "Edgewalker", and this time we are mainly acquiring the copyright of the TV adaptation of the work "Parasyte", so the cooperation plan is of course different from last time."
