The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

At the same time, news about Meng Zhiyuan's termination of contract with "Baiyun Comics" and his current job at "Huaying Comics" quickly spread throughout the major animation and news magazines.

In this regard, some people seriously analyzed the future situation of the comics industry, while others said in a joking tone: If you find that the comic authors under your banner have gone to the chess and card room in the future, please invite the editors of major comic magazines You must be vigilant, otherwise your precious author may be poached by the mahjong method, and turn around and go to Huaying to play mahjong.

Netizens complained one after another:

"Don't talk about the mahjong style of digging the wall, let's know more about the mahjong style break? Mr. Zhuo, who is diligent and diligent all year round, has learned the seven styles of googugu without a teacher since he was on the mahjong table of Huaying. Not to mention, after playing mahjong, I packed my luggage and ran away overnight [manual goodbye]”

"Suddenly I envy how the casino group in "The Fall of Las Vegas" is broken. At least they can unite to blacklist the protagonist group and not allow them to enter. If the chess and card room in Ning Province can also be blocked Just a dog thief [sighs]”

"Wake up upstairs, where is mahjong not playing? Do you think it will be useful to prevent dog thieves from entering the chess and card room? How naive."

"Actually, I think it's okay. After all, Xing Xing has never done anything before. Maybe this time he really went out to collect materials? Even if not, it's okay to take a break once in a while..."

While netizens were still crying over the sad news of the first Sherlock Holmes series to be discontinued, Qiu Fengmao on the other side finally contacted Shepherd Xing himself through his mobile phone.

Qiu Fengmao looked at the manga manuscript in his hand, which was at most halfway in progress, and gritted his teeth: "Have you finished half of the drawing as agreed? Is this your half?"

Mu Su Xing coughed lightly: "Isn't there a saying called 'A man who travels a hundred miles is half ninety'?, Isn't my 50% progress rounded up to 90%?"

? ? ?Is this the way you use it?

Qiu Fengmao was so angry that he couldn't help but feel helpless.In all fairness, Qiu Fengmao is not incomprehensible to Musuxing's sudden running behavior - after all, Musuxing is not just a simple manga author, but also keeps the Sherlock Holmes series updated on the basis of taking into account the animation , itself is a very hard work.

What's more, the current situation facing Mu Su Xing is almost "three open".

Human energy is inherently limited, and when the original workload is too cumbersome, an occasional willful rest may catch people off guard, but what can he do?

The boss I chose by myself, no matter how much trouble there is, I have to help clean it up!

"Okay, okay, I won't be poor with you, let's be serious," Qiu Fengmao said seriously, "You don't know how much the Sherlock Holmes series has added to the sales of "Huaying Comics", right?"

Now the No. 20 issue of "Hua Ying Comics" has just been released, and the specific sales volume has not yet been announced. Qiu Fengmao estimates that due to the impact of the continuous update of the Sherlock Holmes series, the sales of this issue of comics may drop by at least 30%—this is Or the result of his conservative estimate.

When the sales results come out, the degree of decline will only be higher or lower than this number.

If it was in the past, the downward trend of "Hua Ying Comics" might not be so obvious, but now "The Fall of Las Vegas" has ended, and although Zhuo Liming's new work can also support part of the sales, it is still not as good as Sherlock Holmes's current work. There is no comparison to the popularity of horror.

"It is impossible for Huaying Manga to pin all its sales on the Sherlock Holmes series."

"Of course I know that." When it comes to this topic, Qiu Fengmao also has a headache. The biggest problem with Huaying right now is the lack of popular comics that can drive the sales of comics weekly.

It's not that the popularity of the Sherlock Holmes series is not good, but that the Sherlock Holmes series accounts for too much of the sales volume of "Shadow Manga". In the long run, this is obviously not good for the development of "Huaying Manga".

Shepherd star suddenly said: "What if I didn't draw the Sherlock Holmes series?"

Qiu Fengmao was slightly taken aback.

"If I didn't draw the Sherlock Holmes series, or in other words, the manga author who can support the sales of "Hua Ying Manga" is an ordinary manga author who has nothing to do with you. Now this author has a problem with his status, and he has applied for a period of suspension. According to Huaying’s system, this is of course allowed—if this happens, how do you plan to deal with the resulting decline in magazine sales?”

"But……"

"No, but," Shepherd Xing said calmly, "I recruited you to Huaying because I think you have the ability to develop Huaying Manga into Huaying's equivalent existence in the animation industry. "The sales of "must be maintained by me, so what's the point of me hiring you?"

Qiu Fengmao was speechless.

Because what the shepherd star said is the truth.

The development of "Hua Ying Manga" to the point where it is today is obviously inseparable from the Sherlock Holmes series and "The Fall of Las Vegas". In terms of the development of this weekly magazine, it can be said that Shepherd Star has done enough as the boss There are many - he draws popular comics, and digs top comic authors.From the first five issues bound with its own popular animation peripherals, to the latest Sherlock Holmes series turning the tide... It can be said that without the Shepherd Star, "Hua Ying Manga" would have been over long ago.

To put it bluntly, even without Qiu Fengmao, "Huaying Comics" can still easily beat other weekly comics in terms of sales.As the editor-in-chief, although he was not at fault, he did not have any credit at all.

"How to deal with the magazine vacancy period caused by the end of popular manga is your problem, not mine." These are the last words left by Mu Suxing to Qiu Fengmao.

After hanging up the phone, Shepherd Xing sighed and stuffed the phone back into his backpack.

From the momentary decision to googling, to packing up and going on a casual trip, it took less than five seconds.In the past, he was surrounded by friends and employees, or he was covered by dense work. Now Mu Suxing is sitting alone on the subway in a foreign land, but the effect of relaxing the body and mind that he thought was not achieved at all.

Instead, I became more anxious.

Sure enough, the most suitable holiday place for workaholics is in their own study.

Thinking of this, Shepherd Xing felt a little helpless.

He said it was none of his business, but right now he hung up the phone, but Mu Xing himself couldn't help thinking about work.

"Working Cells" is good to say, the animation itself is not long, and there is no difficulty in production, so it should not be a problem for Dai Yuyan to do it.The artistic animation side is a little more troublesome, but the main pressure at the current stage is still on the gentlemen who are responsible for drawing the original paintings. Considering the artist's creation speed, this obviously cannot be rushed for a while.

As for the Sherlock Holmes series...

According to Mu Suxing's original idea, he planned to hand over this series of comics to other comic authors to continue, just like animation production. Haha changed the subject, obviously they have no intention of taking over the Sherlock Holmes series.

"The main reason is that there is too much pressure." When Shepherd Xing asked the reason for the refusal, Shen Xing said honestly: "Now everyone outside is blowing up Sherlock Holmes, you don't know, who doesn't want to draw Sherlock Holmes?" This kind of classic opportunity? But the problem is, once the painting is smashed, let alone you, I guess those readers will make me feel overwhelmed."

When Shen Xing said this, Mu Su Xing naturally couldn't forcefully assign the Sherlock Holmes series to other authors.

"The Sherlock Holmes series is easy to handle. Anyway, the four full-length stories have been serialized. The remaining 50 short stories can be arranged according to my own schedule. Each short story can be serialized for a period of time..." Shepherd star thought: "Mainly It’s still the problem of too few popular comics in Huaying Comics.”

Without Qiu Fengmao's complaints, Shepherd Star can also imagine that in a short period of time, if you want to find a work that can support the sales of the magazine—not to mention the level of Sherlock Holmes, you must reach the level of "The Fall of Las Vegas". Neither is a simple matter.

Forget it.

Both left and right have reached this point, and before I completely transfer the burden to Qiu Fengmao, I should help the other party at the end.

He probably had an idea in his heart, and Mu Su Xing felt a lot more relaxed.

After passing through the early anxious period of still worrying about work, in the remaining six days, the Shepherd star chose to wander around like an ordinary tourist: either visiting mountains and rivers, or visiting local landmarks, and Or follow Amway, a netizen, and eat all the famous local delicacies.

In the middle, the pastor star also took time to go to a theme park. After a whole day of playing for 2 minutes and queuing for two hours, he would like to talk about his biggest feeling during this trip——

"In the future, when I open a theme park, I must start with the most basic diet," Mu Suxing complained to the other party, who couldn't bear it anymore: "It doesn't matter if the price is more expensive, but it's expensive and tasteless, so I can't bear it!"

It has to be said that food problems are definitely an important indicator that can affect the mood of passengers. The food in this area and Xingning Province is too different, which makes him lose his mood for playing these days.

Regarding this, Fang Lian said happily: "Thank God, this is the best news I've heard all day—so when will you come back and work overtime with me?"

Shepherd star: ...

It's almost impossible to talk today.

Mu Suxing hangs up the phone in dismay, and transfers to the last location.

This is an ancient city with a lot of history. It is said that it was the capital thousands of years ago.When Shepherd Star arrived, it happened to be a local festival, and the streets and alleys were full of people. She walked along the streets full of red lanterns and beautiful paper-cuts for a while, and finally when night came, Enjoyed a lively puppet show on the street corner.

The so-called puppet show is also called puppet show and puppet show.To put it simply, it is to put gloves into the costumes of puppets to perform puppetry, because the puppet body is very similar to "a bag made of cloth", so it has the name "puppet show".Hundreds of years ago when the entertainment method was extremely monotonous, it was once the most popular form of entertainment among the people.

However, with the increasing number of modern entertainment methods, this traditional puppet show has been forgotten by the public and is hard to see.

Didn't expect to see it here.

After appreciating the puppet show, Mu Su Xing set foot on the routine the next day, and at this moment, it was already the seventh day since he left Huaying.

"Welcome our pastor to come back from traveling thousands of miles to gather materials," Shen Xing applauded cooperatively: "So boss, what's the result of your materials collection?"

In fact, that's all Shen Xing said at the moment—he's also a manga author, and he goes out to collect materials, can't he still understand?No matter what the material is, Gu Gu Gu Gu will be done.He made a casual joke here, but he didn't want Mu Su Xing to say: "I do have some ideas, come with me."

……

three days later.

There are still four days until the release date of No.20 No. [-] of "Hua Ying Manga".

While counting the days in his mind, Luo Gaofeng casually opened the official website of Huaying Comics—"Huh? New work preview? Is this a newly released section?"

Different from the pictorial trailers on other people's official websites, the next trailer of "Hua Ying Manga" is quite perfunctory. There are no pictures, not even a general plot synopsis, and only one sentence that can't be more simple and rude——

"Detective Sherlock: Pink Research" is about to start serialization, so stay tuned!

When his eyes fell on the series of familiar headlines, Luo Gaofeng's first reaction was: What the hell is this stinky and shameless bastard, is he crazy for wanting to take the heat of our Sherlock Holmes?

The second reaction was: ...Fuck, wait, it seems that Huaying did it himself.

Although reason and past experience tell him that "Huaying Huaying" will definitely not do stupid things like self-destruction of the Great Wall, but the name of the manga that cannot be changed now will inevitably make him issue a soul inquiry.

Luo Gaofeng: Where?Why should you pick your own bad food?
