My Animation Era

  Chapter 523 Teacher Aoyama’s creative thinking (for subscription)

   “Manga creation is too difficult for me!”

  Talking about the creative process, Liu Qingshan said helplessly: "Unlike the previous "Super Detective Doyle", Conan is an orthodox reasoning comic, without any super power elements."

   "President Gu, you may not know."

   "In order to come up with a way for a criminal to commit a crime, the most exaggerated one I did was not sleeping well for three consecutive days, and I have been consulting various materials and cases..."

   "I understand what you mean."

   Gu Miao nodded and said.

  As a creator of literature and art, of course he can understand Liu Qingshan's feeling of suffering.

  A cup of tea and a pack of cigarettes, write two thousand words a day! This is a self-deprecating sentence that many web writers often use to describe Liu Qingshan's feelings, and it couldn't be more appropriate.

   Actually.

  Whether you are engaged in the online literature industry or in the comics industry, the process of writing or drawing is actually not that difficult.

   The hard part is the "idea" part.

  Taking web texts as an example, how fast can a normal person use a computer to type?

  The world record is 807 words per minute.

  Even if a normal person can’t reach the world record level, it’s not a big problem to cut the record in half and type two or three hundred words a minute, right?

  At least 12,000 words per hour!

   But this is the case of pure typing without considering the plot. If you need to conceive a plot, do you need to consider every word in every plot?

   That speed may be more than 10 times slower.

  The same is true of Liu Qingshan’s distress. The comics are being serialized and cannot be easily updated, and the "Detective Conan" he created is an orthodox reasoning comic that emphasizes logic and meticulousness.

   Good guy!

  Just thinking about it, Gu Miao can probably understand why he said that he wanted to "give up" many times during creation.

   "The reason for me to persevere, apart from the significant improvement in the performance of the manga, the most important thing is your affirmation of me, and the imminent animation adaptation of the manga."

  Liu Qingshan said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, if there is no news about the adaptation of the manga, my original plan was to end the serialization in the first half of this year."

This is real.

  Because Gu Miao blocked all the people who wanted to buy the copyright, even though the manga "Detective Conan" has been very popular since the serialization of Beep Comics started, there has been no news of "adaptation" for a long time.

  This matter is not only confusing to readers.

  As the author of the manga "Detective Conan", Liu Qingshan himself has doubts.

   Could it be that my drawing is too bad?

  Or, in the eyes of others, "Detective Conan", which I put so much energy into creating, is a piece of shit?

  Under this premise of self-doubt, Liu Qingshan was naturally depressed. After all, news of the animation adaptation of his previous work "Super Detective Doyle" has been reported, but the new work has not been recognized for a long time.

   Fortunately, he survived.

   It can’t be said that he has survived. When he already had the idea of ​​​​"giving up", the editor took the initiative to find him and learned that Gu Miao wanted to meet with him to talk about the animation adaptation of "Detective Conan"...

  Under the influence of this incident, he did not give up the manga serialization.

   "Okay, let's get down to business."

   After chatting, Gu Miao straightened her attitude and said, "I personally and Wanbao Animation Company are extremely optimistic about the comic "Detective Conan".

   "I hope you, Mr. Aoyama, can strengthen your will and continue to serialize the manga!"

   "As for the animation adaptation, I can assure you that Wanbao Animation will definitely invest a lot of resources and implement it as an S-level project."

   Speaking of which.

  Gu Miao seemed to have thought of something, and said apologetically, "But you know, I really don't have time for myself. So I chose a new director for this project..."

  Guo Hongwei nodded at Liu Qingshan.

  Hearing this, Liu Qingshan roughly understood it. What Gu Miao meant was that he has other jobs, so the animation version of "Detective Conan" will be produced by his apprentice Guo Hongwei.

  Guo Hongwei?

  Can he...can do it?

  Liu Qingshan looked suspiciously at Xiao Guo, his eyes full of distrust.

   It’s not that he looks down on Xiao Guo, or that he thinks Xiao Guo is incompetent. The main reason is that he thinks, does Guo Hongwei really know how to shoot reasoning and detective animations?

"Do not worry."

   Seeing that Liu Qingshan didn't seem to trust Xiao Guo, Gu Miao quickly explained: "Although my apprentice has never made animations with similar themes, there is still you as the original author!"

"I?"

   "Yes, it's you."

  Gu Miao nodded: "As for the animation production team, you will be the scriptwriter and director of the animation adaptation, so you can rest assured?"

   "That's all right."

  Liu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.

  What he is most afraid of is that others will take his comics and change them randomly, which will cause "Detective Conan" to be changed into a four-faced one.

  Now he can not only join the animation production team, but also serve as the chief screenwriter and personally handle the animation adaptation work, which is very reassuring.

   As for who is the director?

  As Gu Miao said, isn't there him as the original author? With him watching from the side, I believe there will be no major problems.

  After convincing the original author and inviting him to join the animation production team, Gu Miao deliberately left Guo Hongwei a few words.

  The general meaning is very simple.

  Apprentice Guo Hongwei was on vacation, and he was suddenly called over to take over the so-called "reasoning detective" type of animation adaptation project, and he must have been confused.

  Gu Miao must mention him a few words.

   "Detective Conan" is an extremely influential and well-known animation work.

  He hoped that Guo Hongwei would cheer up and take this animation adaptation seriously. If this battle is played well, then Xiao Guo can be considered to have made a breakthrough and has a place in the entire animation circle.

   "Master, what about you?"

  Xiao Guo touched the back of his head, not quite understanding what the master was thinking.

  Since the project "Detective Conan" is so important, and it is also called "a potential SS-level animation project", why didn't the master shoot it himself?

   "Me? Didn't I say everything!"

  Gu Miao shook her head and said, "I have other projects, and I won't be able to get away for a while, so I can only let you do it."

   "Any other projects?"

  Guo Hongwei murmured: "Hasn't "Things About That Rabbit That Year" been aired? Is it possible that the second season will be filmed so soon? Or are you planning to create an original animation?"

"hehe!"

  Gu Miao curled her lips and said, "Others kept mocking me, so it's fine if you didn't have time to respond before. Now that you're free, why don't you take revenge?"

   "Sarcasm? You mean..."

  Guo Hongwei seemed to have thought of something, and said with a dumbfounded smile: "Master, what do you care about with those self-media editors?"

   "No! This tone has to come out!"

   "Isn't it just an adventure theme of traveling through different worlds? Pooh! Do you really think I can't shoot if I don't dare?" Gu Miao said with a distorted expression.

   Who do you look down on?
