Chapter 195 Risky New Publication

Li Jie opened the folder provided by Ivey, and the sketches inside did not look as simple as the drafts Ivey said.

It looks like Ive put a lot of work into this new publication she submitted. Whether it's the storyboard, the script, or the close-ups of the characters, it took a lot of effort.

Because it is a drawing for Li Jie, the boss, the picture book drawn by Ivey is not the kind of picture book that directly faces readers.

In the picture album, Ivey has annotated each large storyboard in the lower left corner, indicating his intentions, although Li Jie can understand Ivey's meaning without these annotations.

But this is a process, so Ivy still has to do it.

Moreover, many annotations have been made to the entire picture album, explaining the conception and narrative structure of the entire comic.

Because what Ivy is doing now is equivalent to opening a new comic publication, and it seems that he is still planning to write it himself.

This is not as simple as being a painter. It's different from some manga artists in Japanese manga who have been working on drafts for several years, and only come out to draw a few episodes when they have no money to play mahjong, which is different from earning some mahjong money.

As an American cartoon on the industrial assembly line, there has never been such a thing as a delay, because there are several painters and screenwriters under each publication.

Take the Spider-Man personal comics publication that Ivey is in charge of now. This publication consists of three artists and one screenwriter, and there is also a chief writer on it.

The paintings of Meimanga are basically full-color, and the picture performance is often close to the direction of oil painting. This kind of painting requires more control of color, light and shadow.

Compared with the style of Japanese manga, which relies more on lines, it is completely two concepts. In addition, there are a lot of dialogue lines in American manga, and there may only be a few hundred words or a thousand words in a Japanese manga. The lines of the characters are different.

The lines in Meiman's random words are as many as thousands of words, sometimes even tens of thousands of words. Moreover, in American comics, the lines are the key to promoting the plot. It takes a lot of time for the screenwriters and artists to arrange and design the lines.

Meiman's workload is so huge that a cartoonist can't support it by himself.

Especially when it comes out as a weekly magazine. However, due to the large number of painters, in order to maintain a relatively stable consistency in the publication's style of painting.

Therefore, each group will have a chief writer, responsible for finalizing the publication and confirming the style, and finally handing it over to the editor-in-chief of the company.

The editor-in-chief will conduct the final review, and after confirming that there are no problems with the manga, it will be handed over to the publishing department for publication and sale.

Ai Wei has now submitted a brand new theme, which is completely designed by her. It is obvious that if this publication is approved by Li Jie and the project is approved.

Then the main writer of this brand new independent publication must be Ivy.

Li Jie has no objection to Ivy being the main writer. This girl's skills have proved that she has the ability in this area.

The only thing that made Li Jie hesitate was the new draft submitted by Ivey. The subject matter of the new album was a bit sensitive, especially during this period.

"Why do you want to draw the story of mutants?" Li Jie asked after reading all the thirty-odd pages of comics.

This is the new story provided by Ivey, which is a story about mutant heroes with mutants as the main line.

"Because mutants have heroes, right?" Ivy replied immediately, and she was ready to answer this question.

"During this time, we have also seen through the news and online media that some mutants did get out of control and caused some damage, but there were also many mutants who stood up and prevented the losses caused by the mutants' out of control."

What Ivey said was exactly what the professor and his students had been doing during this period of time. After listening to Li Jie's opinion, the professor still organized those capable personnel in the school to form a mutant squad.

At present, the name of the X-Men has not been called out, but they have indeed done a lot of things during this time.

After some mutants got out of control, they caused chain damage, and even caused huge disasters.

There are a lot of emergencies here, and you can't expect a Night's Watch squad or S.H.I.E.L.D. to keep an eye on mutants 24/7.

And the professor seems to have put a lot of effort into this aspect, at least every time when something happens to a mutant, he can always send his students out as soon as possible.

Acted as a firefighter on various occasions, and also saved the lives of many ordinary people.

It has to be said that this is still beneficial, at least those who were saved by them have less disgust towards mutants, and their family members will also feel less disgusted with mutants.

At least do this, as long as the losses of those out-of-control events are kept within the controllable range, then this matter is quite a positive thing.

"So I think we can take the mutant hero story and turn it into a comic as well, and launch a whole new story about mutants!" Ivey seemed positive about it.

Li Jie didn't see that this little girl was still ambitious.

"I'm not very opposed to this, but it's risky to publish mutant publications. You must know that the evaluation of mutants in the market is not very good." What Li Jie said is a fact.

Especially after Stark's new energy factory was attacked, there was an argument that mutants hinder the progress of human society.

Anyway, fanning the flames and spreading gossip is almost a common feature of human beings.

"That's why we do this. Aren't we drawing cartoons of these heroes to spread their beliefs?" Ivy's tone was a little passionate.

"Jason, remember the inaugural words you wrote in the inaugural issue? Isn't the spirit of the night watchmen what those heroes want to spread to us?"

"Mutants who do bad things should be punished, but mutants who do good things should also be rewarded. Only in this way can everyone understand that mutants are just like normal people."

"There are good and evil among any group, and the whole group cannot be discriminated against because of some individual cases."

Li Jie felt that the little girl's spirit was a little too excited and excited, as if she was particularly concerned about mutants.

Although he had some doubts about Ivy in his heart, and even had some guesses, Li Jie didn't express his guesses in his heart. After all, there are some things that the parties don't want to talk about, it's better not to ask others. And Ivy looks like a harmless teenage girl too.

"I'm sorry I was a little excited just now." Ivy also found that his tone just now was a little too excited.

"It doesn't matter, everyone who is ambitious and wants to turn their great ideals into reality will be like this, and I am no exception." Li Jie shook his head, expressing his understanding of Ai Wei's thoughts.

"So can this publication pass?" Ivy asked with some anxiety.

"I need to discuss specific matters with investors." Although Li Jie is the legal person and boss of this company. "And we also need to get copyright authorization for these mutant vigilantes."

But you need to know the sources of funds for this company, one is the five million dollars invested by the night watchman team, and the other is five million dollars invested by Harry himself.

Although everyone has entrusted Li Jie with full authority over the use of these funds, and they all trust him very much.

But it is precisely because of this kind of trust that Li Jie becomes more cautious. There is no doubt that the publication of mutant publications will definitely cause social controversy.

How much impact it will have on the company is still unknown, whether it should be done or not must be approved by everyone.

And if you really want to draw the story of mutants, then you must get the consent of Charles Xavier and his students.

The third update today, thank you for your Christmas rewards, thank you very much for your support and encouragement.

There will be a fourth update later.
