Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

In the conference room of Zhiyin Comics.

The people who came to the meeting this time were not the management of Zhiyin Comics. Except for Lin Baicheng, Haruko Mouri and president Yuta Koyama, the rest were all the company's artists.

"These are three works that I want you to draw separately. They are all science fiction works about robot battleships. I have already given a rough main plot for two of them. You only need to supplement them based on the main plot. The remaining one only has some settings and the plot needs to be written by you. You should first compile the main plot for it and let me review it before I decide to draw it."

"The first is "Mobile Suit Gundam". I won't say much about the plot. The style of painting must be sharp, and Gundam is the real protagonist. Therefore, you must put more effort into various Gundams and create more characters. Create a Gundam model, and at the same time, the height, weight, arm length, weapons and other data should be as realistic as possible. You can seek data support from some professors."

"In this "Macross", the real protagonist is the fortress. The fortress sailing in space is a war that takes place in the galaxy. Therefore, the plot is also very important. You have to do a good job of balancing it. You can't just have a fortress without a plot, like that Comics have no soul.”

"And the last one is "Transformers". I didn't give any plot for this anime. You have to make up the plot. But in my setting, this anime has an unknown energy called fire, which can give life to machines. . Simply put, it can give life to any machine-like device and make them intelligent."

"The robots in this anime are species with independent intelligence, just like humans, except that they cannot obtain offspring through reproduction. Also, the robots given life by fire can transform into cars, televisions, and tape recorders. Such as mechanical equipment, this is also the origin of the word 'transformation', and it is also the most important selling point of this anime."

The three comics produced by Lin Baicheng are not so much comics as animations.

Especially "Mobile Suit Gundam" and "Macross", these two are cartoons themselves, not cartoons adapted from comics. Most of the anime Lin Baicheng has watched are also cartoons, so the difference between these two animations He knew the plot clearly.

In RB, Lin Baicheng had no TV channel, so he could only choose to adapt it into comics. The comic company just happened to acquire it, and he was not sure whether the comics he drew without finding the original author would still be popular, so he took these two Anime is testing the waters.

As for "Transformers", what people are familiar with is its movie adaptation, which is a brand owned by Hasbro, but it actually started as a toy company belonging to RB, and Hasbro selected some of the company's robot characters. , and then formed the Transformers.

Nowadays, there are no transformable robot toys on the market, so the "transformation" setting has not yet appeared on robots. Lin Baicheng simply took it out and asked the artists to draw it using some settings from "Transformers" When it comes to comics, let’s take advantage of the pit first and then talk about it.

In Lin Baicheng's view, as long as the performance of the comics is not too bad, it can be promoted later by being adapted into cartoons, animated movies, etc., and then made into toys for sale, mainly to make money from selling toys.

Even if the adaptation fails and "Transformers" is ruined, Lin Baicheng will not lose much. After all, if he doesn't make it himself, it will belong to another company in the future. He will have to spend money to buy the copyright and then promote it. .

"In the past two days, you will first draw some images of robots and fortresses. I will check them for you and determine the style, image, etc."

"Yes, Chairman."

The artists were not sure whether such comics would be popular, but since it was the boss's request, they simply couldn't refuse.

These painters are not famous in the industry. They have published works before, but unfortunately they are not popular. Therefore, they are now more like assistants than painters, assisting the painters in painting. They have lost their spirituality.

However, these painters still have some painting skills, and they can complete the designated tasks well.

Lin Baicheng still had some distrust in the abilities of these painters, so he said to Yuta Koyama: "Koyama-san, you still need to find more professional people in charge of these three comics. I hope these three animations can become the company's future A popular work for several years.”

Yuta Koyama nodded and said: "Chairman, I will recruit people as soon as possible."

"That's good."

Lin Baicheng nodded, and then said: "In future newcomer competitions held by the company, all works that have passed the preliminary selection will be sent to me, and I will make time to read them." There are so many Japanese comics, and Lin Baicheng cannot possibly watch every one. He remembers them all, but he may not necessarily remember them after seeing familiar names and plots. Therefore, in order to prevent the company from missing excellent works, he does not mind spending some time to check them.

"Okay, Chairman."

Koyama Yuta responded.

In the next few days, Lin Baicheng did not go back to Xiangjiang. Instead, he temporarily stayed here in Tokyo and went to Zhiyin Comics every day.

Lin Baicheng communicated with the artists every day, stated his requirements, and constantly made corrections. Therefore, after two days, the artists drew a character image that Lin Baicheng was familiar with. All characters in comics will look like this in the future.

Of course, in the RB comics industry, comic writers and readers interact very frequently. If a large number of readers are not satisfied with a certain character image in the comic, the cartoonists will make corrections and draw a character image that readers like, so the character image It doesn't mean that it will never be replaced.

Although the character image has been decided, at Lin Baicheng's request, the artists still need to design a robot that matches the actual data as much as possible. The data cannot be careless, so they have to seek help from some professionals. It will take some time to actually start drawing comics.

This time, Lin Baicheng did not stay at RB. Anyway, after the painters drew some, he would review them. If he was not satisfied, he would redraw them. There was no need to stay in Tokyo every day.

Haruko Mouri was still arranged by Lin Baicheng to stay in Tokyo to help develop Zhiyin Comics Company, and she also had the intention of supervising Yuta Koyama on his behalf.

Of course, in order to prevent Haruko Mouri and Yuta Koyama from joining forces to deceive him, a foreigner, the company's finances were sent from Xiangjiang. At the same time, Lin Baicheng himself would also ask about the company's situation from time to time, trying to avoid the appearance of being deceived and being cheated. Being kept in the dark about this happening.

As early as when he decided to establish a branch, Lin Baicheng asked his sister Lin Shufang to recruit more financial personnel and transfer financial personnel to foreign branches from time to time. Although this costs a lot of extra money, it is still better than being cheated.
