Chapter 106 Public Opinion
Of course, the reason why Huang Ming is so anxious is also because of the pressure from the leadership and the tight production time.
Normal animation works, from project initiation to finished product, not to mention four months, one year, two years, three or five years, and that's it, the effect is not satisfactory.
That is, a company like Jiuxing. Smaller animation companies are probably not well-organized at this time.
Artists, voice actors, songs, directors, screenwriters, post-production staff.
It is not so simple to make the screen move.
Although Jiuxing has one of the best animation production teams in the industry, four months is still too short.
If it weren't for the rush of time, Huang Mingshao said that the time to choose the script would have to be delayed for a month or two, and the best of the best.
How can it be so frizzy?
Thinking of this, Li Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but also developed a strong curiosity about Chu Yu, a teenager she didn't know much about.
Judging from Chu Yu's current performance, it has been less than two months since he came to the magic capital, a comic is about to be published on Shuiyuan, and a work has the opportunity to be directly selected by Jiuxing for animation.
Although Li Xi's efforts are not small, and there are many elements of luck in it, the opportunity is always just an opportunity. Whether or not to seize the opportunity depends on personal strength.
Within a few days, Chu Yu's new work decided to be serialized in the journal Shuiyuan.
The entire Demon City, and even the comics environment of the Dragon Kingdom, has undergone quiet changes.
First and foremost is the outgoing news on the Internet.
There are rumors that Teacher Coffee Bean's new work, The Mystery of Thousand Stars, and the author of this year's Dragon Star Award, Teacher Shui Xin's new work, Natsume's Book of Friends, will be published in the third issue of Water Fate.
After all, it is one of the seven major comic journals in the magic capital, with a weekly sales volume of nearly 8 million across the country, and the publication of new works on it also attracts the attention of many practitioners in the comic industry.
For a time, this news also caused some waves in the magic capital comic industry.
Regarding coffee beans, he has serialized several works in the secondary journals of Xuangui Comics before, and has accumulated considerable popularity in Modu and the surrounding provinces of Modu. He is also a bitter daughter-in-law and finally became a mother-in-law. In recent years, I finally had the opportunity to be on the big stage of the journal Shuiyuan.
But for Shui Xin's new work.
After learning from various sources that this work is neither a sequel to Rurouni Kenshin, nor a new work similar to the style of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, people in the magic capital comic industry learned through various sources.
Most people are unanimously optimistic about Shuixin's new work.
Transformation?
What a joke!
For those old cartoonists who have been drawing cartoons for more than ten years, there are not many examples in the entire Long Kingdom who can maintain their popularity after the transformation of their new works, not to mention Shuixin, a newcomer who has only entered the cartoon industry for a year.
Of course, after learning from some people who knew the inside story that the new work seems to be a work similar to a unit drama, this kind of voice has grown louder.
This kind of work with a few words and one story has the advantage that the reader is not tired of reading, and the author does not need to bury any foreshadowing. Whether the work looks good or not is basically based on the inspiration of the painting at that time.
The disadvantage is also obvious. The reader is not very sticky. Once a certain story seems boring, after the reader temporarily abandons the comic, it is likely that he will never pick it up again.
And Shui Xin, can you draw such a work well?
Most people don't like it!
At this time, many people are waiting for the publication of Shuiyuan in three weeks with the mentality of watching a joke.
People with red eyes are everywhere, and in the magic capital, there are definitely a lot of people with red eyes, not to mention Chu Yu.
Qin Province has won the Dragon Star Award for so many years, but this year, it was taken away by Chu Yu, a new cartoonist from Luo Province. Those cartoonists who came to the Magic Capital from Qin Province for many years were out of face. It's hard to say anything, but in my heart, I especially hope that Chu Yu's new work will hit the street.
As for other teenagers who are jealous of Chu Yu's fame, not only did they win the Dragon Star Award, but they even had the opportunity to publish their first work on Shuiyuan, and there were a lot of jealous people who exploded in their hearts.
As the center of the Dragon Kingdom comics industry, the news in the magic capital comic circle quickly spread to other provinces of the Dragon Kingdom.
Compared to the magic city comics, the praise and criticism of Shui Xin are mixed.
The manga fans of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance were also dumbfounded after hearing the news.
Although Chu Yu did not draw a new work for half a year, they all thought that Chu Yu was thinking about the plot of the new chapter of Rurouni Kenshin. In many comic forums, the topic of Rurouni Kenshin directly exploded.
"What's the matter? Isn't Teacher Shuixin retreating in Los Angeles to conceive a new chapter of Rurouni Kenshin? Why did my friend in Magic City tell me that he has a new work that will be published on Shuiyuan!"
"Rumour!"
"It's not a rumor, that friend of mine is an employee of the Magic City Black Turtle Comics Company. He and I grew up with me, so they won't blow such bullshit to me!"
"real or fake?"
"Is Master Shuixin's serialized work a new chapter in Rurouni Kenshin?"
"It doesn't seem like it, my friend said, it seems to be a work about monsters and humans."
"Monsters and humans? King Zhou of the sun fox, Xu Xian of the sun snake? Ning Caichen of the sun ghost? This is too old-fashioned! The ancients hundreds of years ago did not create such works!"
"Didn't you say that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, monsters are not allowed to become elves?"
"No, why do I smell a strong smell of scum! Is it not good for Shuixin to draw the new chapter of Rurouni Kenshin? Go and draw some shemale love songs!"
"Ah, that's how you became famous when you were young. Many young cartoonists in the past were like this. After a work has achieved results, they let themselves go.
"I don't like to listen to what the people upstairs say? It's old-fashioned to write stories about people and monsters? The samurai who kills like a mare meets a woman who harbors hatred, and the two fall in love in the end? You can still see such stories. Relish, the subject matter depends on the skill of the creator, anyway, I support Teacher Shui Xin, but I really hope that Teacher Shui Xin will create a new chapter for Rurouni Kenshin!"
"I also support Teacher Shui Xin!"
"Same!"
The comic book industry in Los Angeles is also in turmoil.
Cuttlefish Comics has received thousands of letters from readers who protested that Shuixin went to Modu to create a new work, but did not stay in Cuttlefish to create the new chapter of Rurouni Kenshin.
As for the comics forum in Los Angeles, there is a lot of news about why Shui Xin left the cuttlefish. After all, a native of Los Angeles, Song Jiayu can't hide these things.
All of a sudden, the fans were angry.
The entire Los Angeles comics industry has produced such a well-known cartoonist in the Dragon Kingdom for so many years, just for these things to let such a person leave?
Many comic fans are scolding cuttlefish on the Internet.
Cursing and cursing, next, the voices of the fans of Shuiyuan in Los Angeles were unexpectedly unanimous. Although it was a pity that Chu Yu left, they all expressed their support for Shuiyuan in three weeks.
After all, the journal Shuiyuan has sales channels all over the country, and they can also buy it even in Los Angeles.
On Friday, in the house that Chu Yu rented.
Li Xi came to visit with the two of them.
"Hello, Teacher Shui Xin, I'm Lin Fan."
"I am He Sheng!"
Chu Yu looked at the two men in their twenties in front of him.
"Well, the comic assistant you asked for, specially selected two people with normal sexual orientation and superb painters, and their residences are very close to you, so try to ensure that your mind is on the comics!" Li Xi down You're welcome, and after coming in, he led the two of them into the room and sat down.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Xi looked around. The room was clean and tidy, with good ventilation and no odor.
Then I saw Chu Yu, whose hands were covered with ink stains, obviously before Li Xi came, who was drawing cartoons by himself.
Li Xi nodded.
Although he didn't say anything on the surface, his impression of Chu Yu was invisibly much better than that of a lazy guy.
Chu Yu automatically ignored the many flaws in Li Xi's words.
Instead, he chatted with Lin Fan and He Sheng first.
He also quickly learned the details of the two.
They are all young people who have just graduated, but their hobbies and interests are all in comics. Unfortunately, there are too many young people like them in Long Kingdom. Zhao Qinyin is like this, and so are they.
Before the submission is successful and the work is not popular, it is basically the only way for every cartoonist to learn as an assistant to other cartoonists.
Of course, Chu Yu's special circumstances will not be discussed.
Next, Chu Yu also took a few unfinished comic drafts for them to try.
The end result is still ok!
Although compared to Zhao Qinyin, the meaning is so much worse, but it is still above the standard.
And Natsume's Book of Friends is not the kind of work that pays special attention to painters. After everyone cooperates well in the future, the effect of painting will surely be improved.
Thinking of this, Chu Yu didn't hesitate.
After discussing matters such as wages and remuneration, they will basically be paid according to the standard of a slight increase of 10% from the market level.
Several people have reached a cooperation intention with each other.
