Chapter 159: Two Comics
Meng Huo's new comic studio was arranged in Phoenix Building.
He began to want to keep it at home, but in fact, it was indeed enough for the house, but Xu Jing felt that he had to work normally, so it was more convenient to draw in the company, and there were editors on the side to guide him, which was very beneficial to other cartoonists.
Meng Huo thought that this was indeed the truth, so he accepted it happily.
Two rooms were vacated in the Phoenix Building and handed them over to Meng Huo and his assistant. First of all, the Girls Comics Department decided to cut the seven people in half, the Girls Editorial Department chose two of the more promising cartoonists, but the candidates for the Young Editorial Department were not decided for a long time.
A comic is enough for only two assistants. Meng Huo plans to put the rest of the people into the game opening. After discussion, he moved He Xizhi's house to the company and set up a simple game studio, with He Qian in charge.
The candidates for the Youth Editorial Department were not selected, and the animation studio would have to collect enough people in a few days, so Meng Huo’s first thing was to prepare a new comic for "Weekly Girl".
He recalled for a long time. Although he hadn't read a few girl comics, he had read some animations. He decided to adapt the animation into a comic, and some animations were even the source of some animations.
The manga that was decided was "Sakura College Male Public Relations Department", which is a complete girl comic.
The story takes the "Male Public Relations Department" of the famous high school where the super rich young master and lady attended - the "Private Yinglan College High School" as the stage. The rich and idle young men established the "Male Public Relations Department" to entertain the equally boring daughters and ladies, and tasted the gorgeous and elegant short time.
One day, the civilian heroine mistakenly entered the department activity room of the "Male Public Relations Department" because she wanted to find a place where she could study quietly. She was forced to join the department due to an emergency and became a member of the Male Public Relations Department. Then she went like this and that...
In order to make Phoenix Company fight back, Meng Huo didn't care about integrity. Moreover, although this work is full of a woman and a man, its love is very pure - at least the animation he watched is like this. As for the original comic version, Meng Huo didn't know what was going on.
"Teacher He Xi, do you think this is really suitable?"
After accepting Meng Huo's missionary mission, a female cartoonist wearing glasses swallowed: "I see, there are so many gay plots..."
Gay love - That's right. This is the hidden highlight of "The Public Relations Department of Yinglan College". The difference between this work and the ordinary comics of one woman and more men is that the beautiful teenagers have a lot of "friendship".
However, overall, "The Male Public Relations Department of Yinglan College" is quite metaphorical, with elements of the reverse harem, but the story is pure and basic, but it can be regarded as friendship.
Pure people will be very pure when reading this comic, and impure people will be not very pure. It is a very provocative work. Needless to say, girls will definitely like this work.
"Do you think these plots are inappropriate?" Meng Huo asked the female cartoonist. The latter quickly shook his head: "No, how could it be, it's so suitable!"
Another female cartoonist stared at Meng Huo with strange eyes. Teacher He Xi was so familiar with the girl's hobbies. Could it be that he...
"What do you have any comments?"
Meng Huo turned his head and looked at her.
"No, no." The cartoonist immediately blushed and lowered his head: "When will we start working?"
“It’s OK now.”
Meng Huo talked to two cartoonists about the story plot of "The Male Public Relations Department of Yinglan College". What he knew was the animation plot, so it sounds very simple. It took three hours to make a thick stack of notes, and they were almost fascinated by it.
“I like this story.”
"Teacher He Xi, please draw it for us."
Meng Huo spent some sketches for them, and then the two female cartoonists followed the sketches and surprised Meng Huo that the comics of these two female cartoonists were actually better than him.
Of course, this is not the picture. Meng Huo's painting skills are very high. But he only remembers the plot of the animation. It takes a lot of details to adapt it into a comic, and the details created by the female cartoonist: including the characters' small movements, expressions, and eyes, all full of girlish aura.
"It's worthy of being professional..."
Meng Huo smiled bitterly. He found that there was a big difference between him and female cartoonists. The difference was not in his painting skills, but in his gender bias in some comic skills and his grasp of female readers' hobbies.
“These flowers are so well drawn…”
He admired that when the male character in "The Male Public Relations Department of Yinglan College" by the female cartoonists appears, or when she smiles, blooming flowers will always appear on the picture as the background. In this regard, Meng Huo cannot do it.
A smile, full of flowers blooming on paper, a handsome man was now so handsome that it could make female readers scream.
If Meng Huo wants to do it himself, he may not be able to describe a man's smile with such a big splash. After all, he is also a man, and he always feels that he can't be too charming, and the skills of girl comics are not good at.
"This is how we usually draw, and girls' comics rely on the picture."
"That's right, Teacher He Xi, do you think you meet the standards like this?"
The two cartoonists looked nervous. They really liked this story, but as long as Meng Huo said that they would not meet the standards, they might lose this opportunity.
“Meet the standard.”
However, Meng Huo nodded, not only meeting the standards. He felt that "The Male Public Relations Department of Yinglan College" could be handed over to these two female cartoonists to draw. They painted by themselves, and the result may be even better than Meng Huo.
This made Meng Huo happy. The female assistants were so powerful that his work pressure was reduced. He drew simple storyboards, and the rest of his work could be left to them. The storyboards were like drafts, and Meng Huo’s painting time on "The Male Public Relations Department of Yinglan College" took less than two hours.
He signed an agreement with his female assistants, and 60% of the economic effect of "The Male Public Relations Department of Yinglan College" was handed over to them, while he only had 40%. This reward shocked both assistants because it was not like the reward for assistants, but like the reward for cooperation between the three.
As the provider and guide of the story, Meng Huo only enjoys 40% reward. The two cartoonists think he is really a charity.
They agreed without hesitation, and voluntarily gave up their fixed salary after being cut in half, and switched to the painting work of "The Male Public Relations Department of Yinglan College". Because their work location is in the Phoenix Company Headquarters, this comic can accept the guidance of the Girls' Editorial Department. Without reading it, it will be a popular comic.
The people of this comic are still He Xi, and the names of the two female cartoonists are listed under his pen name.
In just half a day, Meng Huo handled the comics of "The Male Public Relations Department of Yinglan College". The speed was so fast that he was surprised, and Meng Huo also discovered a way to improve efficiency.
If he finds a subject that his assistants are good at, the effectiveness of the assistant can be improved. Female cartoonists can share most of the work in "The Male Public Relations Department of Yinglan College", and male cartoonists can definitely do this.
What Meng Huo lacks the most is time. He thought about what other young cartoonists are best at, and ended up thinking of a comic - "Dream Eater", also known as "The King of Blasters".
The comic "Dream Eater" is very interesting. It tells the story of drawing comics, telling the story of two boys who debuted from drawing comics together, became famous and successful in their careers. It is also an inspirational comic.
This comic is not a fight or kill, it is just a story that belongs to comics and a simple comic. However, it has elements of popular comics. Passion, struggle, friendship, love, and career.
When Meng Huo thought of this comic, he became eager.
Why didn't he bring this comic? The comics in this world have just developed. If this comic is brought here, the impact it brings may be helpful to Phoenix.
"Okay, I decided it was it."
Meng Huo immediately made a decision. The story line of "Dream Eater" is relatively long and the backgrounds of the two worlds vary greatly. It took him a long time to organize it into a written text setting.
The story is still the same story, but the background is substituted into the background of China and becomes a similar future with a "developed comics market".
The next day, Meng Huo went to the weekly youth editorial department with the improved version of the story of "Dream Eater" and some sets of characters.
At that time, the weekly youth editorial department was still arguing about which two cartoonists to be He Xi's assistants. When Meng Huo took "Dream Eater", the entire editorial department became excited.
"This story is a fortress!"
"Talking about comics that tell you about drawing comics, Teacher He Xi, you are simply amazing. You can draw such boring content so interesting!"
"Struggle, passion, youth, these settings are really good, and what's even more amazing is its background settings. The comic awards and systems in it are just the same as real. I believe that the future comic market will develop in this direction!"
What surprised Meng Huo even more was that the "Dream Eater" he brought caused a sensation, and the company held an emergency meeting to study its value with this set of settings.
The management of Phoenix Company believes that the significance of this comic is no longer limited to economic interests, but also has the effect of promoting comics, which may even affect people who do not know the comics to become familiar with comics, allowing more teenagers to go on this path.
"Isn't it too exaggerated?"
At the meeting, Meng Huo was stunned.
"Absolutely not, not exaggerating at all!"
Xu Jing slapped the table in front of everyone, looking excited: "Our Phoenix Company needs such a comic. It is our hope. Meng Huo, the editorial department will help you complete this comic together!"
"Anyway, you must turn it into a masterpiece!"
Chapter completed!
