Chapter 350 Make a Lot of Money by Painting? ! (First Update!)

Wei Xiaofan has found for Yin Jun the painting majors of the Central Academy of Fine Arts and Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts, so far there are 18 students in total.

Most of them are senior students, and only a small number of them are sophomore and junior geniuses.

They all have very powerful talents for painting. Although they are still very insufficient in practical operation, they are definitely good seedlings for artists.

These students represent the future.

Yin Jun plans to let the artists of Shanghai Animation Film Studio teach them. In addition, after the animators come back, they can immediately select dozens of good seedlings from the animation majors of the fine arts departments of the two major fine arts academies, and teach them how to practice. Do animation.

The 18 people are just the first batch, they were selected from more than 200 students. It can also be regarded as the seed and precedent of the Academy of Fine Arts.

There are more than these two academies of fine arts in Huaguo. Although the scale and strength of the local academies of fine arts are not as good as those of the Central Academy of Fine Arts and Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts, geniuses may not all be admitted to these two, and small places may also come out. genius.

Therefore, if they are geniuses, they will definitely follow the examples of their predecessors and work in the Kylin Culture Co., Ltd. in Hong Kong, because there are many places where they can realize their ambitions.

The Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts are also very supportive of learning what to go out.

Needless to say, those who have just graduated, the rest who have not graduated, work in Xiangjiang for the last one or two academic years, which is considered an internship, and then they can come back to receive a diploma when the time comes.

The teachers and principals of these schools also summoned this group of students and asked them to work hard in Xiangjiang, so that after graduation, the younger students will have a good job.

However, it is not easy for this group of students to go to Xiangjiang to work. There are dozens of formalities to go through. The teachers and principals of Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts are very well connected, at least half a year.

Speaking of it now, they will be able to arrive in Xiangjiang at the beginning of November at the latest, which is considered very fast.

Now the exit procedures in Huaguo are really troublesome!

Yin Jun sighed, but didn't complain much.

The students of these 18 art academies are for the strength reserve later, and they are not in a hurry.

In the studio of everyone Oda in the future, a manga will have more than a dozen assistants. Yin Jun plans to make dozens or hundreds of manga stories. How many people will be needed?

There are also cartoons, whether it is 2D or 3D cartoons, whether it is a 23-minute episode of animation or a 90-minute big movie, a lot of artists and animators are needed. Sometimes a big movie project needs With hundreds of people involved, it will take one or two years to complete. If two or three projects are launched, how many people will it take?

Therefore, from now on, Yin Jun will continue to reserve follow-up talents.

Teenagers never think there are too many talents.

In the following days, with the arrival of printing equipment, installation, commissioning, and printing, Yin Jun ran between the printing factory and the animation studio.

Although the plan has been prepared long ago, and there is absolutely no problem with the first volume, but this is Yin Jun's first serious business, so he seems a little nervous.

In the future, many of my own development will rely on the development and growth of this comic weekly, so that I can move forward step by step.

So be sure to form a good start!

Guan Zhilin and Wen Bixia don't know what's so good about this noisy and smelly printing factory. Brother Jun always likes to stay here, but because he admires everything about Yin Jun, the two girls also come with him occasionally to have a look .

The other Zhou Haimei and Zeng Yuqian are different, they are very interested in the printing factory.

Zhou Haimei came here because her father worked in the printing factory since she was a child. Seeing the new machines and the operation of the huge factory gave her a sense of satisfaction.

Another one who felt satisfied was Zeng Yuqian. Before the machine arrived, she begged Yin Jun to take her to see it twice. After the printing machine was installed and adjusted, she waited impatiently for the weekly comic to be printed.

You know, there is her work in it - "Chibi Maruko-chan"!

After the first batch of weekly comic magazines went offline, Yin Jun didn't tell Zeng Yuqian, and brought a copy to her home directly.

When Yin Jun came over, the Zeng family was having dinner. Before Zeng Pingzhi could speak, seeing Yin Jun walking in, Zeng Yuqian's eyes lit up and she stood up suddenly: "Brother Jun, what are you doing here?" ?”

Seeing her excited look, Zhao Yun frowned unconsciously: "Sit down for me! You don't talk when you eat, don't you know?"

Zeng Yuqian ignored her mother, she didn't sit down quickly until she saw Yin Jun nodding her head, finished the meal in two or three seconds, and immediately rushed to Yin Jun who was sitting on the sofa: "Give it to me~ ~"

Yin Jun smiled, took out a thick A4-sized book from his bag, and handed it to her.

"Wow~~"

Zeng Yuqian held it in her hand, and looked at the weekly comics without moving her eyes.

There is no essential difference between this manga weekly and Japan's three major manga weekly in terms of shape and thickness.

However, as the first issue of "Kirin Weekly", its thick cover is not as messy as the three major comic weekly magazines and other monthly magazines, and it is not full of the protagonists of at least five or six stories. It's a clean base of pure red, and a very mighty and majestic ink unicorn is painted in the middle.

On the top of the kylin, there are four big characters "Kylin Weekly" written in Chinese official script.

These four characters are not written by ordinary people. They are the works of Mr. Wu Lao, a very famous contemporary calligrapher in Huaguo. In order to obtain these four characters, Wei Xiaofan specially donated 40,000 yuan to the Cultural Relics Preservation Association where Mr. Wu belongs. Only got the calligraphy.

Mr. Wu is 74 years old this year, but he is still full of energy. He is especially famous for seal cutting and calligraphy. Yin Jun likes Han Li calligraphy, which ranks among the top three in China.

The most important thing is that Mr. Wu is a long-lived person, and he lived to be 100 years old. It is very appropriate for such a long-lived calligrapher to write the inscription of "Kirin Weekly".

Of course, what Yin Jun wants to find the most is Mr. Shu, but he is a super boss ranked in the top 50, and he will be an advisor to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in the future. It seems too high-profile to ask him to write an inscription, and he will not do it for you. This business cartoon inscription, that's a joke.

But Mr. Wu is very good, and Yin Jun is very content.

And this ink unicorn also has a lot of history.

It is not only painted on the first issue of "Kirin Weekly", but also it will be the LOGO of Kylin Culture Company in the future, and Yin Jun has already applied for a patent.

Yin Jun asked Master Wan to help draw this painting. For this reason, Yin Jun voluntarily donated 2 sets of animation shooting equipment to Shanghai Animation Film Studio, worth more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Although Master Wan is not a top-notch painter, he cannot be compared with Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, Li Keran, Huang Binhong, Pan Tianshou, Huang Zhou, etc., but "Kirin Weekly" is a weekly comic, who else can compare with Wan Da? Master, who created the history of Huaguo animation and is more representative of this industry?

Therefore, Master Wan's unicorn is a symbolic meaning rather than an actual painting meaning.

Yin Jun hopes that the spirit of Master Wan can be conveyed, so that the animation industry in Huaguo can work hard and continue to work hard!

Zeng Yuqian had read the sample booklet many times, but she hadn't seen the official version, nor what the cover looked like.

After admiring the cover, Zeng Yuqian directly turned the book to the exclusive page of "Chibi Maruko-chan". Seeing the lifelike characters inside and the accompanying narration dialogues, Zeng Yuqian turned the pages, and tears fell down.

"What's the matter?" Zeng Huazhang, who had eaten, came over, wondering, "I cried while reading? You're not that fond of reading, are you?"

"You hate!"

Zeng Yuqian raised her pear-blossoming and rainy face and scolded her brother angrily.

Then Zhao Yun saw it too, and said in surprise, "Qianqian, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, she's happy." Yin Jun patted Zeng Yiqian's little hand, pulled out the book from her hand, and handed it to Zeng Pingzhi who came over at the same time, "Uncle Zeng, take a look at this cartoon How did you draw it?"

"Oh, this is the manga you want to make." Zeng Pingzhi naturally knew that Yin Jun was going to make manga, and he took it over with a smile to have a look, "Well, the cover is not bad... Kirin Weekly? Hehe..."Chibi Maruko-chan"..."

Zeng Pingzhi was not very interested in comics, so he finished the serialization of "Chibi Maruko-chan" in just two minutes.

"Huh? This kind of cartoon is a bit childish... Although it doesn't look boring, will young people like it?" Zeng Pingzhi closed the comic book and asked Yin Jun.

"Not only young people will like it, but old people and children will also like it." Yin Jun smiled and said, "Uncle Zeng, please read the first page of "Chibi Maruko-chan" carefully, and see the introduction of the author of this comic? "

Zeng Pingzhi turned to the first page. He glanced casually at first, but suddenly his eyes fixed.

Story: Yin Jun.

Painting: Zeng Yuqian.

Painting... Zeng Yuqian! ?

Zeng Pingzhi suddenly put the comics in front of his eyes, his eyes were almost pressed against the comic books.

"What the hell are you doing?" Seeing her husband being so weird, Zhao Yun stopped clearing the rice bowls on the table and walked over.

"Wife, wife, look, wife!" Zeng Pingzhi stood up quickly, and handed the comic book directly to her. "You said I was dazzled? Why is our daughter's name written here?"

Zhao Yun was startled, and when she looked over, it really read "Painting: Zeng Yuqian".

She gasped unconsciously, "Daughter...this painting...couldn't have been drawn by you?"

"Of course I drew it!" Zeng Yuqian stopped crying at this time, and raised her head happily, "I have been drawing the story written by Brother Jun since last year..."

"Oh, I wonder why the painting is so beautiful!" Zeng Pingzhi patted his thigh, "Hey, it was my daughter who drew it! Tsk tsk, look at the style of painting, look at the shape of the character... Ah Jun, you really have a good eye. We have invited such a good artist to draw manga for you!"

For her father's flattery, Zeng Yuqian was a little funny, but full of pride.

Only then did Yin Jun take out a check from his bag and put it on the table, "Uncle Zeng, Aunt Zhao, this is Qianqian's first payment, please accept it for her!"

Zeng Huazhang's eyes were sharp, and he saw the number written on it clearly: "100,000!? Isn't it? Ah Jun, did you make a mistake?"

Zhao Yun's heart skipped a beat.

100,000 yuan is not a big number for their family, but Yin Jun said that this is the "first sum", which means that her daughter will earn more money by painting in the future! ?

Sure enough, Yin Jun said: "According to our company's price calculation, Qianqian's one-page draft is 100 yuan, and one issue is 50 pages. Qianqian first gave me 20 issues of manuscripts, so this is 100,000... Qianqian In the past year or so, she has painted more than these, but she will not hand in the manuscript until she corrects it, so the settlement of the painting fee will wait until next time."

"So tall?"

Zhao Yun calculated that if her daughter only drew 50 pages a month, that would be 5,000 yuan, which is the salary of a high-level white-collar worker, and her daughter can get it by drawing manga? And the daughter is not full-time, she is just an amateur painter!

"This is only the income from the comic book, and there are also peripheral products. After it is adapted into a cartoon...these income will be shared with Qianqian." Yin Jun smiled and touched Zeng Yuqian's little head, "Wait a minute Well, with the continuous sales and popularity of comic books, Qianqian will be able to make more money than Uncle Zeng in a maximum of three years!"

Being touched by Yin Jun on the head, Zeng Yuqian enjoyed it like a kitten, but her face was also full of pride.

Regardless of whether Zhao Yun and Zeng Huazhang were horrified or not, Zeng Pingzhi laughed out loud when he heard the words: "Okay, I wish Qianqian would grow up early, and then Mom and Dad will enjoy your blessings!"

If anyone in this world surpassed him, was stronger than him, and could make him happy, they were basically his children and descendants.

So Zeng Pingzhi was not unhappy at all, on the contrary he was very pleased.

"Don't underestimate Qianqian, and don't think that it's me who pushed her to succeed." Yin Jun continued, "For more than a year, without Qianqian's own efforts and her rest time to draw Draw, conceive, and make various revisions, how can you make a good cartoon? Although Qianqian is young, she is very sensible, and this is not a good character that ordinary children can have!"

Hearing Yin Jun's words, Zeng Yuqian's heart was as sweet as eating honey.

She likes how Brother Jun regards himself as an adult, and then introduces himself based on his achievements, which makes Zeng Yuqian feel that she is no longer a child!

Children are always so eager to become adults!
