I just want to draw cartoons quietly

However, when Gu Yan saw the cup of tea, he just blinked and said something...

"It's getting late, and I already wanted to go back, but Chu Yu, you poured a cup of tea on purpose, so I'll wait for this cup of tea to cool down and drink it before leaving!"

Wait until it's cold?

Chu Yu looked at the steaming tea, and his expression froze immediately.

In the end, Gu Yan chatted with Chu Yu for another hour before leaving.

Chu Yu closed the door and let out a long sigh.

Finally left.

Gu Yan, who left Chu Yu's home, was walking while recording various information in his notes.

I like spicy food.

I like long hair.

When looking at a girl, look at the legs first.

Favorite colors are black, white, blue, and red.

My birthday is November thirteenth.

Favorite anime female characters... Gu Yan wrote more than a dozen names and the names of the anime these characters belonged to in this column.

Decided to focus on making up after going back.

........

Chu Yu, who complained at home that Gu Yan was inexplicably talkative today, had no idea how Gu Yan inadvertently stole this information from him during the past two hours of conversations that he thought were a waste of time, and even made him Did not notice.

Chapter 257 News

Within two days, while Chu Yu was drawing manga, she also received a call from Huang Ming, inviting him to come out to discuss cooperation with the magical girl Madoka.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss about this matter. It is nothing more than the investment of the work and the cooperation mode.

So after running to discuss with Huang Ming all afternoon, the two of them came to the conclusion of the discussion.

The investment in Chapter 2000 of Magical Girl Madoka's work is tentatively scheduled to be [-] million.

Chu Yu contributed 500 million and Huang Ming contributed 500 million. It was still the same as before. Huang Ming was in charge of animation production. Huang Ming was in charge of all production, post-publicity, and broadcasting matters. Chu Yu was Responsible for providing script and music only.

As far as the script is concerned, there must be no changes. As for the soundtrack, if Huang Ming can find something more suitable and not too expensive, then these parts can also be changed.

It's just that the final revenue share is [-]% for Chu Yu and [-]% for Huang Ming.

That's... both of them are satisfied.

Huang Ming was not a greedy person in the first place. He invested 20.00% of the investment, but he could get 30.00% profit. The extra 5.00% profit was equivalent to Chu Yu's recognition of his ability.

After all, after the previous cooperation, Huang Ming also has great expectations for the work of Magical Girl Madoka. If this work can eventually become as popular as 5.00 Centimeters per Second and Voice of the Stars, then this [-]% The benefits will be huge, much more than the cost of finding a producer of the same level in Longguo... He is naturally satisfied with this.

From Chu Yu's point of view, his idea is very simple... Anyway, there is a system, as long as he can continue to produce classic works and money, there will be more in the future A lot, compared to those few percentage points of profit, the time and energy that Huang Ming saved him was more valuable.

In the end, after discussing all the important matters, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally figured out these things." Huang Ming sighed over and over while eating the food.

"It's just that our friends who made [-] Centimeters per Second and Voice of the Stars... just finished the breakup meal with them and said that there is a chance to continue to cooperate next time. How long has it been... .. I have to contact them one by one again..."

"And it's not just them. Animations with a length of more than ten episodes like Magical Girl Madoka require a lot more manpower. Otherwise, it's easy to stop working when a certain episode is not connected properly during the broadcast."

"Fortunately... [-] centimeters per second and the voice of the stars have brought a lot of benefits to both of us, otherwise... an animation of this length would not be It could have been done with a few million before!" Huang Ming exclaimed.

"But it won't be long before I revive the animation studio......"

"It's just... If you want to add manpower, is it easy for you to recruit people?" Chu Yu asked.

"Of course, this time, how can we say that our budget has reached the production cost of a medium-scale animation in Longguo. If you have money, it's not easy to recruit people?" Huang Ming laughed.

"But we need to be faster. Now in May, if we move faster, I would like to make this work available in October."

"So fast?"

"It's okay!" Huang Ming said.

"Anyway, the first few episodes will be produced in October, and they will be produced while broadcasting. Although the time is a bit tight...but as long as the manpower is ready, I think this goal can be achieved."

"And...brother, you've been in the Dragon Kingdom animation circle for so long, you must have heard a word!" Huang Ming laughed.

"Since ancient times the gods have made October...."

Chu Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded slowly.

Because in the past history of Longguo, many classic works were broadcast in October, so there is such a saying among animation fans.

Moreover, due to various reasons, the industry's annual big-budget animations also like to be broadcast together in October. This is basically a default rule, just like big-budget movies like to be released during the Spring Festival.

The animation broadcast in this month has a much higher gold content than animations in other months.

Seven of Longguo's annual popular animations in the past ten years were aired in October.

Not only animation fans are looking forward to this time of year, but the major animation companies in Longguo also want their works to shine at this time.

Therefore, the animation market in October every year must be fiercely competitive.

What Huang Ming said was obviously because he had considerable confidence in the magical girl Madoka.

......

Huang Ming's efficiency is indeed very efficient.

Although he was not yet fully assembled, he directly posted a post on his Weibo the night after he and Chu Yu parted ways.

"Shui Xin serves as the screenwriter, and the animation production project of the masterpiece "Magical Girl Madoka Magica" with an investment of 2000 million is officially launched!"

At the end, there is also a picture of Xiaoyuan's character design and a funny face given by Chu Yu.

Just this one piece of news caused waves in the animation industry of Longguo in an instant.

For Chu Yu's fans, many of them followed Huang Ming Weibo at the same time, so regarding Huang Ming's dynamic content, they immediately passed on the news in the Chu Yu Weibo comment area.

At this moment, many of Chu Yu's animation fans became excited.

The residual heat of [-] centimeters per second and Voice of the Stars has just dissipated, but this Shuixin has produced a new work?Sure enough, the high yield is like a sow.

"Teacher Shui Xin and Huang Ming have collaborated again, so I won't say anything, and wait for a heroine to dub Gu Yan."

"Magical Girl Madoka... I really can't describe the name in words. I really want to complain about this name, but I'm afraid that this work will make me cry."

"Anyway, I can't figure it out when I hear the name. Huang Ming just said a few words, and it's really hard to say the style of this work with a personal design."

"I think the one above is more optimistic. Although the heart is not good, what tricks can he come up with in the theme of magical girls? It's just a plot of transforming into monsters... What tricks can he play!"

"That's right, have you noticed Huang Mingfa's character design? The style of the painting is the normal style of cute animation, and the main character is actually a little girl. It seems that Shui Xin wanted to change the style before making this work. I don't think you need to expect too much...”

As for the practitioners in the Longguo animation industry, they have a serious attitude.

"Magic Girl Madoka? Hearing the name, I feel a bit old-fashioned. Is Shui Xin interested in this kind of animation for young children?"

"I always feel a bad feeling. This kind of name feels incompatible with the style of Shui Xin's previous works. Is it the smoke bomb released by Shui Xin or is he trying to change his style?"

"Anyway, for the two works of 500 Centimeters per Second and Voice of the Stars, Shui Xin is only willing to invest 2000 million yuan, but for Magical Girl Madoka, Shui Xin set an investment of [-] million. I always feel that Magical Girl Madoka This work is definitely not that simple."

"Anyway, we'll know when the time comes when the work is aired, so what are you guessing about now?"

.......

Anyway, when Chu Yu woke up the next day, a group of people asked him about the magical girl Madoka under his Weibo.

But Chu Yu is just looking at it, so naturally it is impossible to really answer them, otherwise it will be a spoiler plot in disguise, which will make fans lose a lot of fun watching at that time.

So he just posted a post to answer fans' doubts.

"Magical Girl Madoka... is a work that will subvert the meaning of the word magical girl... so stay tuned!"

Chapter 258 News

A work that subverts the word magical girl?

so smart?

Those fanboys who just like Chuyu Weibo and humanistic literary talents are full of doubts in their hearts.

Originally, the theme of magical girls is a theme that has been played badly in Dragon Kingdom. Every year in Dragon Kingdom, there are at least a dozen animations with this theme.

Basically, when this kind of work is produced, the income from animation is no longer the focus. Animation companies basically focus on the toy and game market.

The routines of these works are basically the same. They are generally old-fashioned plots of ordinary girls transforming into magical girls and fighting monsters. Those who can play some innovations will add some singing and dancing elements to the transformation process. Anyway... According to the taste of Shuixin fans, such works are extremely boring in their opinion.

When Huang Ming announced that Shui Xin's new work was Magical Girl Madoka, a few people were curious, a few people were skeptical, and most people were disappointed.

I thought that Shui Xin was blinded by money after the success of [-] Centimeters per Second and Voice of the Stars. This time, I want to follow the example of those big companies to make money and sell peripherals by making such a new work.

Many black fans of Chu Yu also came out to publicize such remarks.

However, after Chu Yu's post was sent out, his fans felt affirmed for a while.

"Anyway, I don't believe that Mr. Shui Xin is someone who creates some rubbish works for the sake of making money. Of course, I really don't like the theme of magical girls... But just relying on Mr. Shui Xin's words If so, I will definitely support his work when the time comes.”

"Although I don't like Mr. Shui Xin to make another Yuzhi work, but compared to the young animation such as Horse Monkey Shochu, I would prefer Mr. Shui Xin to make another work of the voice of the stars..... ..I hope that this work will eventually be a subversive animation as Teacher Shui Xin said!"

"Anyway, I just can't figure out how to subvert a magical girl-themed animation. I hope it's not Mr. Shui Xin who is doing publicity to tantalize my appetite, otherwise I will be really disappointed..."

"Why are you all so negative! Didn't you all say that you don't want Mr. Shui Xin to create Depressed animations again? Now that Mr. Shui Xin is creating works on magical girls, you are here to bad-mouth him?"

"Upstairs, that's not what you said! In the past, our teacher, Shuixin, was ruthless. We hope that he will not continue to create works of Yu Yu. The premise is that his works can maintain the quality of his previous works... ......But the theme of magical girls......And it is a magical girl theme created by a 20-year-old man......It's weird to think about it. Compared with Shuixin The teacher created a mediocre work in a field he is not good at...I hope he will be his "soldier of love" forever."

"I think so too, but anyway, wait until the work comes out before commenting, but it seems that Huang Ming didn't mention the broadcast time of this work!"

"This kind of question still needs to be asked? Which of the works that Teacher Shui Xin and Producer Huang have collaborated on has been in production for more than half a year? Since Producer Huang released the news in May, there is a high probability that Teacher Shui Xin wants to With this work, I disrupted the situation in October. It seems that Mr. Shui Xin is not only satisfied with the results of the spring animation champion, after the spring, after the arrival of summer, he has been preparing non-stop to make troubles in the winter of the Dragon Kingdom. ...... If Mr. Shuixin can win the Winter Animation Popularity Championship with the work of Magical Girl Madoka...... then basically his status as the top animation screenwriter in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry It’s stable. It’s just that....... Magical girl-themed works, it’s too difficult to win the championship in the winter file..."

..........

On the Internet, fans are discussing the news of Chu Yu's new work in full swing.

In reality, the staff of the major animation companies in Longguo are also very concerned about this news.

A cartoonist engaged in animation across borders, plus a nine-star part-time producer, and a group of social wanderers who made up together, it took half a year, with zero publicity before the broadcast...... In the end, relying on two short works, it can basically be said that it has won the title of 2022 spring animation champion.

This kind of thing sounds so nonsense... Even novels dare not write like this.

But it just happened.

For the fans, the fact that [-] centimeters per second achieved such a good result is nothing but joy.

But for the major animation companies in Longguo...the combination of Shui Xin and Huang Ming should not be underestimated.

Such a pair is very likely to want to join the battle of winter animation, and it really deserves their attention.

And in the office of Xia Yin, a famous animation production company in Longguo, T-Bone Animation Production Company, and Xia Yin, a famous animation screenwriter and producer in Longguo, she is ecstatically handling today's work.

As the producer and screenwriter of last year's popular animation of the year, Adventure of the Demon King, Xia Yin is also considered to be a pivotal figure in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

Wearing a spotless men's black suit, short hair neck length, beautiful face deliberately made into a neutral style due to makeup, plus the two mustaches on both sides of the upper lip... .. On the whole, it feels like a handsome guy......

But... Needless to say, she is a woman...

The beard was affixed, and her gender was clearly stated as female in her household register and ID card.

It's just that her every move and dressing are obviously telling others that she has a different understanding of it.

"Sister Xia, I have some news to tell you..." About this matter, a slightly fat girl barged in from outside the door.

"Huh? What did you call me?" Xia Yin raised her eyes and looked at her assistant.

"Xia... Brother Xia!"

The fat girl changed her words reluctantly, but her main purpose was not to continue arguing with her good friend and boss Xia Yin on this topic.

"Okay, what's the matter?" Xia Yin looked at the fat girl.

"The combination of Shui Xin and Huang Ming is making another move......It is said that the two are planning to collaborate again to produce a work called "Magic Girl Madoka"...... .And there is a high probability that it will be broadcast in October. In this case, they will form a direct competitive relationship with the animation "The Brave Who Falls into the Abyss" that we plan to broadcast in October...." The fat girl said in one breath, without panting.

"What's the matter?" Xia Yin curled her lips upon hearing this.

"There are currently 47 known animations that started airing in October. Which one of these works is not our potential opponent. There is no need to pay attention to the animation works of an animation studio."

"But their combination has created the unheard Hana who ranked second in animation popularity last year, and the five centimeters per second who is the animation champion this spring!" the fat girl said.

"so what?"
