The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

As soon as Mu Suxing's voice fell, everyone over there was really stunned.

It is undeniable that this is indeed a good idea.How much is a manga magazine?According to the average level of Blue Star, the retail price is at most 10 credits, and the four ip-related peripherals proposed by Star Musu, even the cheapest bookmarks, have a retail price of more than 10 credits on the official website.

What's more, "Huaying Manga" doesn't send ordinary merchandise, but the official limited merchandise that can only be obtained by purchasing the comic weekly!

Although Huaying has no foundation in the comics industry, but as long as he releases these words intact, let alone the sales of 100 million, think about the millions of loyal fans of those animations, especially "Magic" Not long after Girls Madoka was finished, the surrounding areas were vacant. Qiu Fengmao estimated that if Mu Su Xing's words were followed, the sales of the first four issues of "Hua Ying Manga" might immediately rank among the top sales of weekly manga magazines!

but……

"In this way, doesn't that mean that the first four issues of "Hua Ying Manga" will not only be unable to make a profit, but will also pay for it?" One of the editors couldn't help but ask.

"No, you can't look at it this way." Qiu Fengmao was stunned for a while, and soon he would feel better: "In the short term, we are indeed at a loss, but in the long run, this method is very strategic. "Painting If Yingmanga, like other weekly magazines, tries to open up the situation purely by the quality of the works, the development speed will definitely be much slower, but if we adopt the form of sending peripheral products, at least we can quickly gain a large number of readers in a short period of time."

"Even if many readers actually come here for the surroundings and have little interest in the comics themselves, they will definitely choose to read the comics—after all, they have bought everything."

Another editor continued: "At this time, as long as our comics are interesting enough, even if we don't give away gifts from the fifth issue, readers will definitely continue to buy them out of inertia and curiosity about the content of the comics."

As for the specific reader retention rate...

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes fell on the two comics in front of them.

At that time, whether it can retain as many readers as possible will depend on the power of these two comics.

After solving the matters related to Huaying comics, Mu Suxing turned around and returned to the Huaying office building. Taking advantage of the rare free time at the moment, he began to write the comic script of "The Fall of Las Vegas".

He does not plan to write this manga himself, but will only be responsible for the script part. After several animations, with the help of the system, this field that he is not very good at has gradually begun to fill in the gaps, at least the core stalk is determined Next, it is no problem to create scripts again.

The first is the personality.

According to the practice of traditional comics, the three-person team is naturally two men and one woman.

In another world, "Taking Las Vegas" was adapted into the movie "Decisive Blackjack". The Mind Finds a Friend - an instructive story.

Mu Suxing thought about it, and quickly gave up on the film adaptation method.

It's a good movie, and there's nothing wrong with the theme the ending brings to light - but is it really what audiences want to see?

The shepherd star thinks otherwise.

The subject matter itself is actually a bit secondary. Generally speaking, it is full of rebelliousness, pretense, and coolness that young people will like. Most people watch this kind of movie, longing for the protagonist to play with the world, not to be played by the world. The three views of the movie ending are correct, but the audience is really aggrieved.

He looked through the materials related to the protagonist's prototype, and finally decided to follow his own route—the plot tends to be handsome and relaxed, with a fast pace, returning to the origin of an entertaining comic.

Why does the protagonist join the card counting group and play around in top casinos?

The reason given in the movie is that the protagonist is admitted to Harvard Medical School, but lacks the money to help him realize his dream, and the choice of the Shepherd Star is even more modest——

Nobody dislikes money, and the main character is no exception.But the reason for him to play to the end at the risk of being caught at any time is not the money itself, but the thrill of conquering the world when he sits at the gaming table.

In addition, considering the animation adaptation, the plot of the manga itself can also be similar to a small copy of a small copy. The protagonists go from unfamiliar to proficient, from flawless to winning and losing with the detective.

Not only that, the camouflage of the trio also has a lot to do. In order to deceive the casino as much as possible, the trio will inevitably designate a fixed person for themselves when disguising. When the detective finds out, the fixed trio is two When there is a man and a woman, you can also add the women's clothing plot that readers like to see here. It is a place where you can arrange a series of jokes without any sense of disobedience.

In the next week, Shepherd will either write the script of "The Fall of Las Vegas", or ponder over the adaptation method of the Sherlock Holmes series, and wait for him to finish writing the scripts of the first five episodes of "The Fall of Las Vegas" At that time, the manga assistant whom he had asked his assistant to recruit before also arrived.

Manga assistants generally need to be responsible for drawing lines, coloring, post-production, etc., and do not have particularly high requirements for painting.Despite this, most of the assistants of cartoonists still have quite solid basic abilities, which is why many of the assistants of famous cartoon authors later became well-known cartoon authors.

As long as Mu Suxing thinks about it, he can definitely recruit the cartoonist who will be successful in the future in his memory as his assistant——

And in fact, that's exactly what he did.

The office was quiet, and the few people brought by Du Yutang greeted Mu Su Xing at the beginning, and soon fell silent with Mu Su Xing's silence. It's just a newcomer who is still at the assistant level, so he is naturally a little uneasy about the ongoing interview.

Shepherd Star didn't mean to treat them specially.

After being initially surprised that Du Yutang actually brought the owners of the names he proposed, Mu Suxing's attention quickly returned to the works of several people that Du Yutang handed over.

Facing the work in hand, he clicked on the three basic skills that are relatively solid, and the work has done the best in line drawing, coloring and post-production.

"Just these three people."

In twos and threes, he confirmed his assistants, and Du Yutang quickly came over and took the three of them away——Huaying's legal department has always been in charge of the negotiation of specific contracts.

After throwing "The Capture of Las Vegas" to another comic author, Shepherd started to consider drawing the comics of the Sherlock Holmes series.

It is undeniable that the reason why this series has become the most popular among the mystery novels is indeed inseparable from the excellent character design of Sherlock Holmes, but this does not mean that the cases of the Sherlock Holmes series are not exciting.

For a mystery novel, no matter what, the case design is the foundation of the real foundation. If this cannot be achieved, no matter how interesting the characters are, it cannot be called a mystery novel.

As the adaptor of the novel, Shepherd Star naturally does not need to spend energy on the case right now, but this does not mean that the work of the Sherlock Holmes series is easier than capturing——

Conan Doyle gave wonderful cases and storylines. In order to ensure the overall quality of this series, Shepherd must stand on the overall perspective and repeatedly think about the composition and mirroring.How to draw the clues appropriately, and at the same time, like in the novel, deceive the vast majority of readers?These are all questions.

Time passed quickly amidst the busyness of everyone up and down.

When Christmas Eve was approaching, the manuscript for the first issue of "Huaying Manga" was basically in place. Mu Suxing, who had been busy for nearly a month, just breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to go to the production team of Mulan, and the boss he had invited not long ago Discuss the details.

When the work in hand came to an end, the printing factory also delivered the well-packaged first issue of "Hua Ying Manga".

At this moment, there are only three days left until the first issue of "Hua Ying Manga" is released.

At the same time, "Baiyun Comics" magazine.

"Huaying's manga seems to be on the market soon."

When the editors in the entire office hall are immersed in the work at hand, this exclamation, which seems to be talking to himself, is particularly obvious.The editor-in-chief frowned and raised his eyes to stare at the man.

No wonder some people think too much.

Not to mention that "Huaying Comics" and "Baiyun Comics" are both comic magazines, and they were doomed to be antagonistic from birth—the total comic market is only so big, and one more family can divide it. There will be one less copy. As an editor, he will naturally pay attention to the menacing pictures.

Not only that--

Although Baiyun Culture did not go into details, most of the Baiyun employees still knew about it under the reports of some newspapers at the time—Baiyun Comics had already negotiated with Huaying for the animation copyright of "Night Watchman". Recognized people, turned around and sold the copyright to Yunsu Animation.

In a word-Baiyun Comics offended Huaying.

Considering this background, it is obviously a bit subtle to look at the comic magazines under Huaying.

"Okay, don't think about what you have, do what you have to do first." Jing Huahao reprimanded, half disdainful, half comforting: "How many years have we been working on "Baiyun Comics"? He drew How many years have you been working on film and comics? The gap of ten years cannot be made up by sending me merchandise."

"Relying on peripherals to support sales, in the final analysis, is just a moment of prosperity. The quality itself cannot pass, and readers cannot be retained. It is useless to send peripherals ahead!"

Jing Huahao, who said these words, probably would not have known about it. Just as he was comforting other editors in this way, this issue was also mentioned in the management meeting of Baiyun Culture:

"...I think you guys put too much emphasis on Huaying. This decision is indeed very smart, but do you read the comics in weekly magazines? It's the quality of the comics themselves! The quality of the comics is not good, and it's useless for him to attract more audiences by relying on peripherals!"

As the man's voice fell, more people began to discuss in low voices. After less than a minute, this noisy situation was broken by another person——

"I understand the truth, but why should we gamble on the assumption that the quality of Huaying comics is not enough to support the sales of subsequent magazines, instead of simply killing the threat in the bud?"
