…
Hong Kong.
DreamWorks Studios.
In the newly built Manga Building.
Feng Zhiming, Ma Rongcheng, Niu Lao, Xie Zhirong, Zhao Rude, Li Zhiqing, Dick, and Qiancao each held a drawing, all of them looked in shock at being surrounded by Huang Yulang, Shangguan Xiaobao, Shangguan Xiaolong, and Shangguan Xiaowei. Xu Cun in the middle of the conference room!
After sweeping through Feng Shiming and others one by one, Xu Cuncai said: “Naruto, ONEPIECE, Reaper, Fullmetal Alchemist, Hunter, Youyou Baishu, Crayon Shin-chan, Cherry “Little Maruko” (these comics have all been changed by Xu Cun to take Xiangjiang as the back or the mainland as the background, or simply virtualize a comic from the back) is a comic that I have come up with in the past ten years. The general plot and main characters are believed to you. I already understand, they will be filled and expanded by you in the future… I hate the form of labor distribution of dead wages, I think it is unfair to those who are talented and hardworking, so you will be with that Marvel comic The same department will receive a labor contract with basic salary plus commission. Of course, the copyright of the comics you create is also owned by me personally like Marvel… Your department will be in charge of Huang Yulang in the future, and Shangguan Xiaobao will be the deputy minister… …In addition, without competition, there is no motivation. Therefore, these eight comics will be divided into four groups, and Huang Yulang, Shangguan Xiaobao, Shangguan Xiaolong, and Shangguan Xiaowei will each be responsible for one group… At the end of the year, the company will be based on each group The sales volume of the company will be given to each group with different rewards, individuals who have made outstanding contributions, and the company will also reward a number of dry shares.”
Speaking of this, Xu Cun deliberately paused, and then said, “Do you have anything to say?”
Huang Yulang looked at the others and took the lead: “Mr. Xu, there is a big problem that needs to be solved immediately.”
Xu Cun looked at Huang Yulang and asked, “What’s the problem?”
Huang Yulang replied: “The comics industry is no better than other industries. This is an industry that requires professional practitioners. You open eight comics at one time, plus my “Dragon Tiger Gate” and Shangguan Xiaobao’s “Bruce Bruce” and other comics, Even if we recruit all the cartoonists in Hong Kong into our DreamWorks Comics, we can’t guarantee our creative needs…”
Xu Cun asked Huang Yulang: “Then do you have any plans?”
Huang Yulang looked at Shangguan Xiaobao and the others, and said, “I declare in advance, Mr. Xu, I don’t mean to compliment you, I’m just talking about things… Judging from my 24 years of experience in the comic industry, your All the eight comics refuse to be a big seller!”
When Huang Yulang said this, the three Shangguan brothers, Feng Zhiming and others nodded in unison – “Naruto”, “One Piece”, “Reaper”, “Fullmetal Alchemist”, “Hunter”, “Youyou Baishu” and other comics The creativity is unheard of for those who have drawn comics all their lives, and the content makes them both moved and excited, and “Crayon Shinchan” and “Cherry Maruko” are funny and innocent, they all agree with Huang Yulang’s words that these are Comics should be popular!
Huang Yulang continued: “Most of the comics in our hands don’t make much money, I think it’s better to finish them all, so that we can free up a lot of cartoonists and screenwriters, and then let these cartoonists and screenwriters to develop you. of these eight comics.”
After hearing Huang Yulang’s idea, Xu Cun nodded secretly and said in his heart: “Huang Yulang is indeed a man who has created such a great Yulang International, and he is still very courageous!”
Shangguan Xiaobao and others were all shocked when they heard Huang Yulang’s proposal. Among them, Shangguan Xiaobao was the most-the comic book “Bruce Lee”. Shangguan Xiaobao has been drawing for more than ten years. Therefore, Shangguan Xiaobao is really reluctant to end “Bruce Bruce”, and the situation of others is similar to that of Shangguan Xiaobao!
actually–
Shangguan Xiaobao and others also know that what Huang Yulang said is a good solution to the current problem, but Shangguan Xiaobao still wants to fight for it, so Shangguan Xiaobao said: “I have another solution.”
The comics industry is no better than other industries – many times, a cartoonist can only draw one set of comics in his life, which can be said to be born for a set of comics and die for a set of comics.
Therefore, Xu Cun can understand the reluctance of Shangguan Xiaobao and others!
Therefore, Xu Cun asked Shangguan Xiaobao: “What good advice does Mr. Kuang have?”
Shangguan Xiaobao straightened his body and said, “We can invite another group of cartoonists.”
Xu Cun asked calmly, “A cartoonist? Are you going to Japan?”
Shangguan Xiaobao shook his head and said, “No, the wages of manga practitioners in Japan are too expensive, and we can’t afford to spend this injustice.”
As soon as Shangguan Xiaobao’s words came out, many people, including Huang Yulang, looked north at the same time.
Seeing this, Shangguan Xiaobao nodded and said, “Yes, just go to the mainland please!”
Xu Cun asked in surprise: “There are also cartoonists in the Mainland?”
This is really Xu Cun’s ignorance!
In fact, the level of animation production in China was originally very powerful. Osamu Tezuka, the father of Japanese comics, also embarked on the road of comics after watching Chinese animations.
In the following decades, Chinese comics have never fallen behind any country in terms of art.
Until that turmoil…
As we all know, labor costs in the United States have always been extremely high. Therefore, since 1965, the United States has cooperated with low-wage countries to produce cartoons.
At that time, the preferred partner of the United States was Japan, which in turn directly promoted the development and prosperity of the Japanese manga and animation industry.
After more than 20 years of development, Japan’s animation industry has initially prospered. At the same time, it is also facing the problem of the American animation industry in the past – the wages of animation practitioners are too high.
As a result, Japanese animation companies also began to cooperate with South Korea, Taiwan, mainland China and other places, especially mainland China with low wages and a good animation foundation, outsourcing the basic production of animation~www.mtlnovel.com~ Therefore, , has created a large number of low-paid and highly skilled cartoonists in China.
After listening to the explanations from Shangguan Xiaobao and others, Xu Cun thought about it and said, “Okay, Mr. Kuang will be responsible for this matter.”
After listening to Xu Cun’s order, Shangguan Xiaobao said: “Okay, I will go north tomorrow!” After hesitating for a while, Shangguan Xiaobao probed again: “Mr. Xu, then the comics we are creating…”
Xu Cun smiled and said: “If you like to paint, then continue to paint, but I still say the original, the purpose of our company is always to distribute rewards based on the benefits created.” – Xu Cun’s words are very understandable, That is: “You can draw, but the comics you draw don’t make money, so I won’t give you any money.”
Shangguan Xiaobao and the others looked at each other, and finally made the same decision in their hearts by coincidence—they first drew and read the comics they originally drew and Xu Cun’s creative comics, and then made the final decision based on the results. In addition, Shangguan Xiaobao and others do not believe that the comics they have been running for many years will be so much worse than a few creative ideas from a layman like Xu Cun!
