Self-cultivation of entertainment bigwigs

Chapter 261
Just when Zhao Qian was living a leisurely life, a blockbuster bombarded the entire web circle.

"Perfect acquisition, and successfully completed the first round of financing, with a valuation of 40 billion, planning to go public next year!"

Although the headline was not as eye-catching as UC's body, the news still hit the headlines, and both Long Kong and Weibo made a fuss.

When Zhao Qian saw the news, his expression was strange.

It’s quite interesting to say. In 08, Perfect was founded. It poached a large number of big, medium and small gods from Qihang, and then sold it to Baidu at a price of 13 million soft sister coins in 1.915. This year, it sold it to Baidu for 12 billion. I bought it back at the price, but the price has increased six times.

This kind of operation is really incomprehensible.

Of course, Perfect bought it from Baidu,
Who wins and who loses, this is only known by the parties concerned.

After buying Baidu Literature, Perfect immediately started financing. In the first round, it successfully raised 40 million SoftMei coins, with a valuation of up to [-] billion SoftMei coins, which was astonishing.

After Baidu sold Baidu Literature, it also officially announced its withdrawal from the online literature industry. Of the BAT Big Three, only Penguin and Ali are left.It's just that Ali's "big move" has been shouted since 14 years ago, and there is no sign of it. It is estimated that it is almost yellow.

However, in the past two years, it has been very successful. One sub-site has been opened after another. Through various bombardment and publicity, it has vigorously received manuscripts, and has successfully listed on the market to collect money.

Judging from the current situation, the online literary world is still dominated by one superpower and many powers.Backed by Penguin, its strength is strong, its position as the industry leader is unshakable, and its palm reading is booming. Ali has been preparing for big moves. Although the digital station is sunset, it is a bad ship, and there are other large and small websites. It is also constantly moving.

For a long time to come, it is estimated that there will be a storm again.

However, for ordinary writers, it may not be a good thing. In the final analysis, it is better to improve the basic benefits. It is better to increase the full attendance.

It doesn't matter for a master of Internet literature like Zhao Qian, just do what you like, at least for now, Qihang is still the most reliable one, after all, the channel is strong.

Therefore, after reading this news, I no longer pay attention to it.

"Love letter, there is news from Penguin Animation that the comics of Prodigal Boy and Urban Cultivator have already been approved, and a few pictures of people have been sent over, asking what you think."

Zhao Qian was typing, when a message popped up.

The one who said this was not Qingsong, the editor in charge of the city, but Hua Ya, the editor of the copyright department.In the future, she will contact Zhao Qian for copyright matters.

Immediately afterward, two compressed folders were sent over, which contained drawings of anime characters.

"Um?!"

After Zhao Qian decompressed, he saw the high-definition picture of the character, and frowned inadvertently.

To be honest, the painting style is quite rigorous, but he doesn't like it very much, and some of the characters are also a little dissatisfied, and it doesn't have the feeling of the original work at all.

In his own book, he knows the characters of the protagonist and heroine better than anyone else, right?

Character setting, referred to as person setting.Usually it is necessary to draw the three-sided effect of the character's head and multiple different angles such as front, back, and side, sometimes including closed lines and character hairstyles, wearing different styles of clothing, comparing with other characters' heights, and wearing Small accessories, as well as details such as the eyes and expressions of the characters.

Well, the science is over!

Zhao Qian can also do the character design. He has drawn Chen Beixuan's character design before. Compared with the one passed by Penguin now, I don't know how much better it is!
Therefore, Zhao Qian was a little unhappy when he saw the character design given by Penguin Animation.

He said to Hua Ya: "How about this, I will draw a few drafts, and you can send them to Penguin Animation for me later."

He didn't say that he was dissatisfied, but I believe Hua Ya would understand what he expressed.

Zhao Qian has mild obsessive-compulsive disorder. When he saw something he was not satisfied with, he felt upset and naturally wanted to modify it.Because of the code words before, I didn't have much time to play with the digital board, so I just took this opportunity to make so many characters in my novels.

Hua Ya was taken aback when she saw this reply, what does it mean?

But Zhao Qian just sent this sentence and didn't say anything else.

Zhao Qian, who was sitting in front of the computer, stopped typing, took out his digital tablet that was about to pile up dust, and began to draw characters.

At present, the price of color comics for newcomers in China is about 200~400/P, and the comics are calculated by the number of pages. Generally, there are 16~24P per episode.The price of well-known painters will be a little higher, 1000 yuan / P is not surprising, there are top and bottom in every industry.

Although Zhao Qian has great confidence in his artistry, he has never thought about making money from painting. He feels that it is more troublesome than writing novels, but writing novels is easier.Crackling and uploading, the readers are satisfied, all kinds of rewards are rushing; if the readers are not satisfied, all kinds of blades are swishing, and they sell the blades to the hardware store by themselves, and they can make a fortune backhand, which is very flattering.

As for comics, it's better to treat it as a hobby. I have turned coding from a hobby into a career, so don't waste other hobbies.

For example, if you have time to draw a picture book or something, hehehe.

Doesn’t the dead house have a lot of wives, then I’ll draw more notebooks about your wives, the protagonist is not your kind.

Well, your wife is awesome!

Here Zhao Qian is seriously drawing the character design, and Hua Ya, the copyright editor over there, got in touch with the person in charge of Penguin Animation.

"The love letter doesn't seem to be very satisfactory." Hua Ya replied after thinking about it.

The opposite side asked strangely: "What's not satisfied?"

Hua Ya: "He didn't say anything, he said he would draw some first drafts for you to see."

"???" The person in charge of Penguin Animation had this expression.

Wait, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?

The author is responsible for drawing the characters?

Could it be that the author is also studying painting as a part-time job?

This is the rhythm of fighting for jobs with the majority of cartoonists!

Generally, cartoonists cooperate with screenwriters. After the share is negotiated, the screenwriter is responsible for writing the story, and the cartoonist is responsible for drawing.Of course, there are not no painters who create their own plots and draw their own paintings, but there are few.

The person in charge laughed, well, I want to see what tricks you can draw.

Zhao Qian spent the whole afternoon and evening on painting.Fortunately, he had drawn related character designs before, so it didn't take much time, and for other minor problems, he just simply repaired the original drawing.

This efficiency simply surpasses other painters!

Zhao Qian put the organized pictures into a folder, compressed them and sent them to Hua Ya: "I won't charge them for the money, let the people over there draw according to the character design I gave!"

There are a dozen or so character sets for the protagonist and supporting roles, and they cost thousands of dollars, okay?
After Huaya received the file, she opened it and looked at it. After confirming that there was no problem, she sent it to the person in charge of Penguin Animation.

After the other party received the file, he didn't take it seriously at first, but when he opened the file, clicked on the picture, and saw the image of the person on the screen clearly, his eyes widened.

This……

Judging from his more than ten years of experience in the industry, he can naturally see the level of the author of the work, which is why he was so surprised.

You must know that that guy is a writer and not a professional cartoonist!
Scratching his chin, I have to say that this book writer is quite capable.Well, let’s use you as the original character design!

"The penguin agreed."

When Hua Ya informed Zhao Qian of the news, she couldn't help but be surprised. She didn't expect that the other party would really agree to this request.

Could it be that Zhao Qian's level is higher than that of the penguin artist?
She was a little disbelieving.

Zhao Qian replied: "Yes, I see, please trouble Miss Hua Ya."

Hua Ya's face turned black, this guy...

But when I saw the profile folder on the desktop, I couldn't help but click to open it. After seeing it clearly, I was stunned for a while.

It seems that it is really better than the original painting...

Zhao Qian just smiled at this, it's just a small hobby, calm down, calm down!
At this time, Wang Huan also sent a message.

Said: "My "Very Pure, Very Ambiguous" company has successfully approved the project, please help me adapt the novel into a script."

　I finally finished writing this chapter, it’s so annoying to check the information!
