The next day.
In the morning, a van brought a car of breadmen and parked it at the company's door.
These two sea lion breads were really not bought in vain. They went up the mountains and down the sea to welcome and send off, load and unload goods, and went through fire and water for the company during the wedding and white wedding. They are the favorites of all employees. On the day of scrapping, they will probably have to burn three incense and kowtow.
As soon as the car door opened, seven people came down.
Hulala squeezed into the bungalow, with men and women, most of them very young, exuding the unique clarity and stupidity of students. Only one man was a little older and looked quite silent. One was Chen Jun.
Liang Xiaosheng came out to greet him and said, "You are waiting outside and click on the name to enter."
"You have passed the first exam, so today we will be the second exam!"
"The first one, Wu Xiaochun!"
"arrive!"
A boy in his 20s stood up and entered the inner room nervously.
Chen Qi and Feng Li sat inside. This time, they were recruiting people to work in the mainland and needed a lot of reviews, so Feng Li personally checked, and the old man Barabala asked, and Chen Qi listened beside him.
After a long time, Feng Li nodded at him.
Chen Qicai spoke and said, "Wu Xiaochun, why did you take the art department of Beijing Film Academy?"
"I like to watch "The Great Trouble" and "Nezha's Trouble", I like art films!"
"Then is your dream to enter Shangmeiying?"
"Woolen cloth-"
Wu Xiaochun was a little hesitant, and Chen Qi said, "I ask you, you must answer truthfully!"
"My dream was indeed to join the American Film Academy, but as I learned more and watched a lot of imported cartoons, I think that the kind of drama-like cartoons abroad have a promising future."
"But I don't make cartoons."
"I'm willing to learn comics. I think you are good at breaking the rules. I want to follow you!"
After hearing this, Chen Qi ignored it, he wrote a few words on the notebook and said, "Okay, you go back first, we will notify you separately.
"
"Next, Zhao Hongmei!"
A big girl followed in, wearing a black and shiny braid, very simple, and said:
"Hello comrade leader! My name is Zhao Hongmei, 25 years old, my family is from Changping. My parents are both workers, and my ancestors all farm. I have a younger brother. My younger brother has also entered the factory. The ingredients of my family are absolutely fine."
Chen Qile didn't say anything, just asked: "You are a fashion design, why do you want to sign up?"
"Do you want to listen to the truth?"
"certainly!"
"I heard that I can go to Hong Kong to work, so I'll try it."
"You can be assigned to clothing factories, schools, and foreign trade companies after graduation, and I have strict requirements here. If you fail to meet the standards, you will be fired. If you come back, you will not have a job. You have to think about it!"
"this-"
Zhao Hongmei showed confusion on her face, paused, and gritted her teeth: "Even if she was fired, I don't regret it. This is my own choice!"
"Yeah, go back and wait for news!"
They came in one by one, went out one by one, and finally it was Chen Jun's turn.
He is almost middle-aged, with an ordinary appearance and looks quite silent. He asked and kept silent. Chen Qi was very interested in him.
After looking at it, he said, "You used to be a very successful comic strip writer, why did you go to the newspaper to be a beauty editor?"
"...
Chen Jun seemed to be thinking, and after two seconds, he said: "I have drawn dozens of comic strips. "Conjunction Lock" is my most satisfying work. I used a lot of skills in it. Later, I drew "Hu Yang Hebing" and I found it difficult to break through the level of "Conjunction Lock". I used some exaggerated techniques and received a lot of criticism.
I don’t think I can make any progress if I continue painting, so I switched to the newspaper office.”
"What do you think of comics?"
"A great carrier. I have read some pirated Japanese comics. The content is so rich and the techniques are diverse. You said you went to work in Hong Kong. I think the environment there is open, so I might give it a bold try."
"Are there any requirements for treatment?" Chen Qi asked on his own initiative.
"Listen—you, you have the final say, I have no requirements." Chen Jun got stuck.
"Okay, you've been hired!"
While Chen Jun was still stunned, Chen Qi had already stood up and stretched out his hand. He still understood the human nature of the world, so he quickly went over and shook his hand and said, "Thank you for your attention, thank you!"
When two more people are left.
Feng Li said: "Xiao Chen, what are you doing for this comic magazine?"
"Export earning foreign exchange!"
"Can comics create foreign exchange?"
"Of course, you know "Iron Arm Astro Boy", that's Osamu Tezuka's manga, and then it was made into an animated film. Comics, animations, games, toys are one-stop, and the industry is big."
Feng Li didn't understand, so Chen Qi finished talking casually. He came out to find Liang Xiaosheng and said, "These seven people are good, all of them are hired. In addition, you can find a few more people who can write stories, get ten people together, and let them go after the procedures."
"You still have to know how to write stories?"
"Isn't this nonsense?"
"Okay, I have many resources in my hands, so it's not difficult to pick a few."
Liang Xiaosheng hosted the magazine "World Tales" and made an appointment with various parties to meet many talented young authors.
Comics are a combination of paintings and scripts.
Some cartoonists have excellent painters and their storytelling abilities are also first-class, such as "Slam Dunk".
Some are teamwork, such as "Detective Conan" by Takamasa Aoyama is responsible for the design of the core case, and the details of the team are filled in are also centered on the screenwriter, and the painter is just painting, such as those works of DC.
The people Chen Qi's tricks have passed the test, and whether they can tell stories has to be read separately, especially long stories. It is difficult to control. The combat effectiveness of many comics in the later stages has been broken, and the plot is full of loopholes.
After getting these things done, Chen Qi returned to Hong Kong.
Gu Weili had already completed the procedures and established an "Oriental Publishing Company". Hong Kong recruited 10 people, which is also a combination of painters and screenwriters. Together with 10 in mainland China, there are 20 creators in total.
In addition, there are about 40 people, including administrative, editor, distribution and other personnel.
The pattern is like this:
First of all, these people are employees of the company. If Chen Qi comes up with creative outlines, perfect screenwriters, and painters come to paint, the copyright belongs to the company and will give the creator a certain proportion of dividends.
If you write your own story and draw it yourself, then the copyright belongs to you, the company will issue it, and the creator will receive high royalties.
They need to train first and learn how to draw comics.
When Tsui Hark heard the news, he volunteered to come to class and talk about plotting the plot. He is a second-dimensional enthusiast.
I like Japanese anime very much. I have a good hand at drawing storyboards, which is much better than Jiang Wen’s stickman.
Chen Qi plans to release the first issue in autumn after 3-4 months of training. The magazine is called "C0-C0!"
This is a Hong Kong comic magazine published in 1997. He shamelessly used it because the name of the comic magazine must be simple, unique and memorable.
"CO-CO!", remember it.
This means "Communicate" and the abbreviation of "Cooperation" (cooperation), which is a way that Japanese products like to name.
Chapter completed!
