Chapter 181 The emergence of video sites
In the world of Yen, "Sailor Moon" is one of the most well-known and influential anime works in the world. The original work is a magic girl manga created by the famous manga artist Naoko Takeuchi. Its derivative series include animation, live-action TV series, stage play, electronic games, etc. The animation is divided into five series. The manga is serialized in the comic monthly "nakayoshi" published by Kotansha. It is a model work of Japanese girl comics, because it pioneered superhero works with the Magic Girl Group style, which has a significant influence and status in the history of Japanese comics.
Even An Yi watched this work when she was a child and remembered some classic lines, such as "Sailor Moon, transform!" "I want to destroy you on behalf of the moon."
The commercial value contained in such a work is undoubtedly amazing. It can completely become a pillar-level work of "Flowers and Dreams", ensuring that the magazine will last forever.
In fact, for An Yi, becoming the original author who only draws a storyboard is much easier than being a painter who directly writes.
When An Yi was drawing the original manuscript, she was so fast, let alone drawing a storyboard similar to a draft. She just needed to draw the storyboard and hand it over to the person who was responsible for painting.
However, this person who is specialized in painting must be more reliable.
An Yi told her brother An Li about this idea, and she felt that her brother could definitely find a suitable candidate for her.
When An Li heard his sister's thoughts, he sighed: "Xiaoyi, you have finally gotten up. Although you are very fast in drawing comics, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the world's number one, but now it is an era of division of labor and cooperation. For pure commercial comics, creating comics like assembly lines is undoubtedly more efficient. Those top comic artists like you don't have many assistants. They are all in a team to participate in comic creation. Now, you need a comic creation team."
"I just don't want to draw such long comics, which can be hundreds or even thousands of episodes. That's too boring. But because I have the treasure of King Zhibao, I have many creative ideas in my mind. If I draw it myself, I don't know how much time it will take. So I think that being an original author can create more works at the same time. So brother, you are right. I lack a team dedicated to painting now." An Yi explained.
"Leave this kind of thing to me. Now the comics industry is so developed, there are many painters who have only painters but can't draw interesting comics. I will help you recruit such painters to become your royal team and serve you." An Li agreed happily.
An Li long felt that his sister should come out of the "one-on-one" small workshop-style creation and follow the trend of the times. There is no need for the sister to write the popular commercial comics in person. Instead, the unique styles of works like "eva" and "East Evil and West Poison" are irreplaceable. They can only be written by his sister himself, let alone pure literary and artistic poetry picture books like "Flying Bird Collection".
In other words, An Yi only needs to draw classic works that truly have connotations. She can fully display her literary style, because she is not only a cartoonist, but also a true master painter.
And those commercial works that need to be painted all the time, the longer the drawing, the more popular they are, or works that can be unlimitedly underwater as long as they are popular. An Yi only needs to be the original author and ensure the uniform style of the work, and leave everything else to the team to create.
Of course, in this team, you also need to divide the main and secondary, otherwise the style cannot be unified, and the whole comic will feel awkward.
Therefore, in the creative team of each commercial comic, the most important thing is to find a good painter and a relatively peaceful author. In this way, as long as he doesn't have any problems, other members of the team can quickly replenish even if they leave the team halfway.
Anli has always been very efficient in his work. In less than a month, he found a comic creation team for his sister and signed contracts with all the members.
What made An Yi speechless was that the greedy nature of his brother's capitalist was fully reflected in that obviously harsh contract. Except for the seemingly generous original manuscript fee, these team members had no share of the copyrights, even the single-book royalties, and all of the income belonged to An Yi.
And everything that I remember was naturally established by him.
But these people were willing to sign the contract because in a sense, they were all losers in the comics field. Some of them have always been helping senior cartoonists as assistants. Apart from their salary, the assistants have no royalties, and copyright income is taken for granted, and they don’t even have the right to sign.
Teacher Ke Yongqun is so famous that he has six or seven assistants. Who knows what these assistants are called?
The original manuscript fees on the contract undoubtedly made these people very moved, so they signed the contract one after another, and they didn't even know who they were for the painter.
After solving this, "Sailor Moon" painted by An An as the original author and "Heian Comics Creation Team" can begin.
A month passed, and it was mid-April, and the spring was full of joy.
An Yi is now relaxed because her girl comic work "The Summer Solstice is Not Arrived" has been drawn, but it is still serialized in the magazine. Her martial arts comic work "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has been drawn, so that now she only has the job of the original author of "Sailor Moon". The storyboard she drew in one day is enough for the "Ping An comic creation team" to draw for a few months... Because for An Yi, it was too easy and too quick to draw a storyboard.
At the end of March, Ping An Technology's video website was finally launched, with many types, basically including the types of video websites in An Yi's world. Many netizens were surprised to find that they could watch TV series, movies, and animations on the Internet!
As "eva" was broadcast at the same time as the TV station in early April, the traffic of the barrage video website similar to "B Station" ushered in a peak. Many netizens found that watching animations and posting barrage complaints on the same time is really a kind of magical attraction. Some complaint experts posted barrage stories that are so interesting!
And when many netizens found that this website could upload homemade videos, they found it very interesting, and they made some videos they thought were fun to upload. For a moment, the entire video website became extremely popular!
An Yi was very pleased with this because she was looking at the world, and she and her brother gradually transformed into their original appearance. As soon as B station B came out, is it still far from the arrival of the second-dimensional cultural trend? (To be continued.)
