Chapter 87: Release
The original "Five Centimeters in Seconds" is an animated film that tells a very realistic story of a pair of people who like each other because time and distance are getting farther and farther away, and they are eventually unable to be together.
This movie story seems nothing special. Others may make it a mess when they make it. But it was very popular in the previous life, not because of the story itself, but because of the film methods and techniques that depict the story.
The picture quality of "Five Centimeters in Seconds" is very clear and has a strong aesthetic sense. The scenes are gorgeous and extraordinary, and they are praised as "you can take screenshots directly as desktops." Coupled with excellent and beautiful music and literary and sad lines, this animated film caused a sensation as soon as it was released, creating an unprecedented record of revenue.
It tells stories in a fairy tale-like way, and the people who make it are of extraordinary level. If you change to a director, it might be a rustic and old-fashioned love animation.
This animation also has a comic version, but no matter what, Meng Huo decided to bring it over and still encountered a lot of difficulties.
Especially the background of the times, in addition to the love factor, the background of the times is also very important. It shows the changes in Tokyo, Japan and other regions through the life of the hero. The time span is long and the sense of substitution is strong.
If we move it directly, Chinese readers will not have a sense of identity, so Meng Huo needs to restructure the background to make it suitable for the current society. Reconstructing the background basically means that the comic scene is different.
This made Meng Huo feel very tricky. The comics themselves are difficult to reflect the beauty of the animation, so he has to draw very well to attract people. Fortunately, the stories and lines can basically be retained, so he can concentrate on drawing pictures.
The origin of the name of "Five Centimeters in Seconds" is the decline rate of cherry blossoms per second. Meng Huo wanted to replace it with a flower suitable for China, but after thinking about it, there was no suitable choice. Whether it was pear blossoms or peach blossoms, they were abrupt, and finally they retained the cherry blossoms.
There are also cherry blossoms in China, so the problem should not be big.
On Friday night, Alice came to Meng Huo's house and brought new submissions from Gundam and Magic Girl. This time the number was a few more than last time, and the quality also increased, but Meng Huo chose the works of Teacher Tomato and Hua Meng.
These two people have been assistants for so long, so they always have to open some back doors, and their comics are very good. Both of them want to draw new themes and promise that if the readers' investigation results are successful, they will finish the previous serialized comics and draw the story of Gundam and the Magic Girl.
After choosing the original manuscript, Meng Huo also completed "Five Centimeters in Seconds". He stayed up all week long. In order not to worry Li Qin, he waited for her to fall asleep and got up to work.
As soon as he finished, Meng Huo turned on his computer and logged into his personal space. Due to the large number of fans, his space was upgraded to a large V space and he could also publish paid content.
Meng Huo scans the comics into the computer while thinking about how to set the payment amount. People in this world have a relatively high cultural consumption capacity, but whether they are willing to pay the same amount as physical money online is a big problem.
I was too expensive and worried that no one would buy it. I was cheaper and worried that I would not make money... Meng Huo thought for a long time and finally entered 10 Huaxia coins. This cost was cheaper than a magazine, but it was more expensive than other online serialized things. I don’t know if it could be successful.
After the release, Meng Huo did not continue to pay attention. He turned off the computer and went to bed while yawning.
On that day, in a high-end villa area in Ninghai, Xu Jing sat on the bed and read the newspapers, but he didn't sleep very late.
"What are you looking at? Go to bed early!"
Lying beside him was a blonde woman with a similar appearance to Alice. She reached out to take away a few newspapers that Xu Jing had read: "What makes you so excited?"
"Good thing..."
Xu Jing said happily: "You read these newspapers are praising our company, and it seems that my decision is right."
"He Xi's Guidance Room" was a great success, and Phoenix Company showed its exploration of the talents of other cartoonists. After the release of two magazines on Wednesday and Thursday, the entire comics industry's attention was directed at them. News reports said that Phoenix was carrying out a cartoonist revolution, and the market also showed a positive atmosphere.
The emergence of a large number of outstanding cartoonists is the cornerstone of the prosperity of the industry. It is difficult for one cartoonist to convince others. The market's reaction proves this. Phoenix is cultivating other cartoonists. This signal makes everyone feel happy and the company's prospects are unanimously touted.
"Praise it, just rely on that young comic genius. OK, don't think about it, go to bed." The blonde woman took away the newspapers and turned off the lights: "I said dear, since you are so excited, then tonight..."
Before she could ask, the phone suddenly rang.
"The company's phone number." Xu Jing looked at the number, picked up the phone from the bedside, and smiled and said, "Ye Xiong, are you doing something?"
"Chairman, something urgent happened." Ye Xiong's voice came out, and he seemed very excited: "Teacher He Xi just released a short paid comic in his personal space. What should we do?"
Teacher He Xi posted a comic? On the Internet?
Xu Jing frowned slightly. The child was indeed not a good-looking lamp. He gave him a trap and immediately he found a way to find the place. The online comic was posted without breaking the agreement between the two.
"Heroes come from teenagers."
Xu Jing sighed in his heart that the unyielding child is difficult to deal with, but he has not breached the contract, so he can only grit his teeth and accept it.
And what is a short comic? If he lets him play it, can Meng Huo still go against the will of heaven? Now that he is helping the company to train newcomers, it is time for Phoenix to be in the limelight. Just turn a blind eye to this matter.
“Don’t worry about it.”
So Xu Jing replied, thinking that Meng Huo looked at the Internet too seriously, and what money can he make there? royalties are the most profitable things. As long as he does not agree to publish the short comic, Meng Huo and the Internet income will still not exceed his shares.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Jing didn't care about this matter, but focused his eyes on his lover who had taken off his clothes.
"You are really..."
Boiled overnight.
The next day, when Xu Jing, who had a sore waist and back pain, was enjoying a rich breakfast, Ye Xiong called again.
"Chairman, something is wrong. Teacher He Xi's short comics caused an uprising! Many readers condemn us at the door of the company, saying that they will not buy "Weekly Boy" and "Weekly Girl" in the future!"
"The media reported that Teacher He Xi was preparing to change jobs, and Longteng Company claimed that it was willing to spend huge amounts of money to welcome Teacher He Xi over!"
"Chairman, Teacher He Xi seems to be missing!"
Xu Jing sprayed out the milk he was drinking.
"puff……"
Chapter completed!
