Transformed into a comic book artist

Chapter 118: Too much craftsmanship (please subscribe to monthly tickets)

The novel "The Saint" is the biggest IP in the online literature world today.

Even the old Supreme God Chen Nan is ashamed of this book, which can only eat dust and be suppressed in the second place on the monthly ticket list.

The copyrights of mobile games, web games, comics, etc. have all been sold, and some companies have even contacted Yuexia to buy the title of the other party's next book.

Yes, the title! Not the copyright! !

This is Yuexia's influence in the online literature world.

The copyright of the TV series was sold by Yuexia before the book "The Saint" was published.

Of course, although the copyright was sold, because "The Saint" had not yet been published, it had been hoarded and had not been filmed. It was not until "The Saint" was put on the shelves and the plot developed to the middle and late stages, and now it has two million words, that Tianyu Group began to prepare for the filming of "The Saint" three months ago.

This time is the most influential time for "The Saint". They started filming at this time, which can fully attract the attention of readers and fans of "The Saint".

Of course, although "The Saint" is an online novel, it is too long. If all of it is to be filmed, then the TV series will be too long.

So the script adaptation of the TV series is necessary, but due to the strong request of the readers of "The Saint", the plot must be consistent with the original text, and the most important thing is that there is no female protagonist.

The point of no female protagonist is what the readers asked for.

In this regard, Tianyu Group is very open-minded, but they are entangled in the promotional posters.

"The Saint" is a novel about all kinds of people, that is, in addition to the main character, there are many important supporting roles. As a result, Tianyu Group encountered difficulties when preparing to make promotional posters.

The promotional posters of general TV series are to take a photo of the leading actors and then put it online for promotion.

But there are many important supporting roles in "The Saint". After picking and choosing, some people finally said that it would be better to let the protagonist appear on the screen alone.

But some people said that one person would appear too thin. Of course, some people said that if there is a female protagonist, the male and female protagonists can appear on the screen. Unfortunately, "The Saint" has no female protagonist.

Then this problem became an endless loop. Promotional posters are extremely important, not to mention that they are preparing for the first round of promotion!

Whether or not to attract the public's attention depends on the first round of promotion, and the poster plays a crucial role in the first link.

The most important thing is that Tianyu Group wants to make a fresh and refined poster, because the posters in the current film and television industry are too casual, stereotyped, and similar. If you want to stand out, you must be creative.

Unfortunately... the TV series has been filmed for a month, and they haven't thought of any good ideas.

And tonight, Zhang Bowen received a call.

"Hello!? Who is this..."

"Director Zhang, I found the TV poster for "The Saint"!"

When a familiar voice came from the phone, Zhang Bowen was startled and asked tentatively, "Xiao Chen?" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly recalled what the other party had just said and said in surprise, "Poster? What poster!?"

"The promotional poster for "The Saint"!"

Recently, Tianyu Group has issued a reward internally. As long as you can come up with a wonderful idea or design a promotional poster and be recognized by the company, you can get a bonus. When Chen Xiang saw this ink painting, he called Zhang Bowen, the director of "The Saint" without saying a word.

"What form of creativity?" Zhang Bowen raised his eyebrows slightly. Recently, many staff members contacted him and said that there were many creative ideas for promotional posters, which made him very annoyed, because every time he heard or watched it, he could only say that it was mediocre.

And Chen Xiang naturally knew him, or was very familiar with him! Because the other party was a cameraman who had been following him, and was considered one of his team members, and the other party also told him that he had a creative idea? What a joke, Chen Xiang is a person who can make up for his shortcomings with hard work, and he has no talent, so Zhang Bowen doesn't believe it at all.

However, he still patiently prepared to listen to the other party's ideas.

"I just saw an ink painting. This is the author of "The Saint" who spent 350,000 to ask Teacher Miaobi to draw illustrations for the novel!" Chen Xiang said in an extremely excited tone, "I think this illustration should meet the company's requirements for promotional posters!"

"Spend 350,000 to draw illustrations?" Zhang Bowen just felt that it was a fantasy, and couldn't help asking, "Are you sure?"

Zhang Bowen naturally knew the painting style of the painting circle. The landscape is very eye-catching, but the characters are haha.

Although the promotional posters do not necessarily have to have characters, most of the promotional posters will have characters, or in other words, except for specific TV series or movies, there must be characters in the promotional posters.

As for who Miaobi is? He has never heard of him.

"Director Zhang, I'm sure. You're in front of the computer now. I'll send you the pictures. It's not too late for you to take a look and make a decision."

"Okay, the meal isn't ready yet, I'll take a look."

I received two pictures from Chen Xiang on QQ. They were quite large.

Afterwards, Zhang Bowen casually clicked on one of them, then blinked, and was stunned. Suddenly, he realized, "No... This is not ink painting style!"

Obviously, Zhang Bowen was looking at the cover. After that, he directly closed the cover picture, took a deep breath, and clicked on the second picture.

Affected by the cover, this time he didn't have the disdainful emotion in his heart just now, but was extremely looking forward to it.

And when he clicked on the second picture, he was shocked on the spot.

The whole soul was deeply shocked. A picture scroll slowly unfolded in front of his eyes. What came into view was an ink painting of mountains, rivers, mist, rain, boats, people and monsters.

The most eye-catching one was a monster in the painting. It had wings, a scaly body with spines, a large and long head, a pointed snout, small nose, eyes and ears, extremely large eye sockets, high brow arches, sharp teeth, a protruding forehead, a thin neck and a big belly, a long and pointed tail, and strong limbs, just like a winged Yangtze alligator.

"Yinglong!?" As the director of "The Saint", Zhang Bowen also knew about mythological stories, but only a little bit. At this time, he could recognize the monster in the painting at a glance.

It was really painted too much like it, lifelike, especially the eyes, with a hint of mockery, and with a sharp tooth bared, Yinglong's whole expression seemed to be with a disdainful and mocking smile.

However, Zhang Bowen regrets that the Yinglong in the painting only shows half of its body, and the rest of its body is outside the painting... It makes people wonder how big and long this dragon is.

Below Yinglong is a large lake, with a small boat on the lake. A person stands on the boat, wearing a cloth and holding an umbrella. He slightly raises his head in the misty rain and looks into Yinglong's huge eyes, calm and peaceful.

It's a very simple picture, but it makes Zhang Bowen feel a strange shock.

The dragon is big and the person is small, the contrast between the two is very obvious! Coupled with the distant mountains and rivers and the misty rain in the painting, this ink painting has a very harmonious feeling.

"Xiaobo, it's time to eat." Suddenly, a kind voice came from outside the house.

"Mom, I'll be here later."

Because of the filming, Zhang Bowen is now in Hengdian, and his hometown is here. He did not live in the crew, but went home to live with his parents, just in time to see them.

After responding, Zhang Bowen opened the first cover and placed the two on the table to compare. No matter how he looked at them, he felt that the cover was much more exquisite than the illustration.

But... this ink illustration is 350,000 more expensive than the cover. Is there any mystery?

"Stinky boy, get out and eat!" Just as Zhang Bowen was thinking, an old man came in without knocking, and then looked at Zhang Bowen and glared.

"Right away..."

"Right away, if you don't come out, do you think your mother will eat first? You... huh?" Zhang Yue suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhang Bowen's computer, was stunned for a moment, and then went forward without saying a word, pulled Zhang Bowen up, "Get up, let me see!"

"Ah... Dad..." Zhang Bowen was pulled up directly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Zhang Yue stared at the computer without blinking. After more than ten seconds, he said without raising his head, "Go... bring me my glasses!"

A minute later, when Zhang Yue put on his glasses and looked at the cover on the desktop, he was startled and surprised, but he still turned it off, then enlarged the entire illustration and stared at it without saying a word.

After a long time, Zhang Yue, who had read it countless times, said regretfully, "Alas, it's too artificial!"
