Chapter 269 0269, a Comic Book with a Hidden Mystery
The next day, Yunfeng came to Youxianqi Company.
Zheng Rong was extremely surprised when he heard that Yunfeng said that there was a new comic and that he also brought the first and second issues.
Two issues, not two episodes, but twenty episodes.
He opened the manuscript on the computer, read a few pages, and asked: "Isn't this comic the one you stayed up all night to write out in the past few days?"
Yunfeng smiled and said: "How could that be possible? I started painting very early. I originally planned to finish the painting before releasing it. Who knew that something like this happened, so I had to advance it."
Zheng Rong read a few more pages and said, "You have created a new comic type. It is estimated that after it is released, there will be a large number of follow-up works."
Just like the original "Feng Yun I", it brought out many comics of the same type, and the sales were very good.
Actually, this is related to the comic environment on Blue Star.
Here, it started with science fiction comics. After so many years, it has developed very well.
If we take comics like "Gundam", "Transformers", and "Iron Man" on earth, there is a high probability that the response will be mediocre because there are too many comics of the same type.
Yunfeng said nonchalantly: "It's okay. It's inevitable to follow the trend. Just be the first one to eat the crab."
Zheng Rong was right when he thought about it. Following the trend will indeed divert traffic, but as long as the first bite is big enough and enough, the impact will not be that big.
Immediately, he asked again: "Daily update?"
Yunfeng waved his hands quickly and said repeatedly: "No, no, no, Zhou Geng."
Daily updates can make the popularity and popularity skyrocket within a period of time, but the staying power is not good.
Zheng Rong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements later. Is it okay to release it next week?"
Yunfeng did not answer, but asked: "Are the audio and video studios and animation studios tight on manpower?"
Zheng Rong did not answer, but instead asked: "Do you want comics, audio comics, and animation to be released simultaneously?"
Yunfeng shook his head and said: "No, the simultaneous press conferences are seriously divided. What I mean is that the comics will be released in the first week, the audio comics will follow in the second week, and the animation will follow in the third week."
Zheng Rong smiled and said: "This is no problem, because the three animations of "Slam Dunk", "Wind and Cloud I", and "Detective Conan" are being produced together, which is a bit stressful, so I hired a few more people for the animation studio. , As for the audio and video studio, since the expansion at the beginning of the year, the manpower has been sufficient. "
"Okay, let's settle it first." Yunfeng stood up and said, "I'll go to the comic studio to have a look."
Zheng Rong nodded and said, "I won't accompany you there."
In recent days, Yunfeng didn't ask his three assistants in the WeChat group how the painting of "Wind and Cloud III" was going because of the lawyer's letter.
"Boss."
…
Yunfeng's arrival attracted the attention of all employees of the comic studio, and they all learned about liquidated damages from the Internet.
Since the release of the comic "Detective Conan", the sales volume has not been as good as that of the two comics "Feng Yun I" and "Slam Dunk", and the same is true for the animation.
The profit is estimated to be less than 10 million, but the liquidated damages are more than 50 million.
To put it bluntly, it is a loss-making thing.
The works they had worked hard to draw in the past year were like this, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing their appearance, Yunfeng said, "Why are you all so downcast? This matter has nothing to do with you, it's my own problem. Cheer up."
Then he smiled and said: "This authorization cost more than 50 million, so you have to paint well."
"Don't worry, boss!"
"Boss, we will not let you down!"
"'Detective Conan' will definitely earn back countless 'licensing fees'!"
…
When Yunfeng heard these words, he was quite pleased, as he was so kind to them as usual.
Although he loves money, he is not stingy.
Each studio has corresponding profit sharing, year-end bonuses and various holiday benefits are also not low, and he will also give out a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year.
This is naturally done to improve their work enthusiasm.
But in fact, it has something to do with Yunfeng's character. He is not a capitalist, and he will not be one at all.
Yunfeng came to the work area of the three assistants.
"Boss."
…
Ling Tao, Yu Jinsheng, and Wei Xingmeng also followed the local customs, and like other employees, they called Yunfeng "boss".
Yunfeng won't care about this.
In fact, as long as you don't call him "Mr. Yun", such as "Master", "Boss", "Xiaoyun", or even call him by his first name, it will sound quite pleasant to your ears.
"You go on, I'll just take a look." Yunfeng said to them.
The three returned to work.
The three of them are not newbies who have just graduated from school. They have all drawn more than five short comics and more than two full-length comics on their own or participated in it, and their drawing skills are incredible.
The first, second and third chapters of "Wind and Cloud III" have been completed.
The painting style is 80% similar to his. If you don't look at each detail, you can hardly tell the difference.
The speed of the three people combined is not as fast as his own, but it is already very fast. He is a different kind.
Yunfeng looked at it for a while and then left.
He is very satisfied with these three assistants. After "Wind and Cloud III" is finished, he may consider finding a popular comic from his previous life on Earth to draw for them.
However, at the rate they are working on "Wind and Cloud III", it won't be until next year.
————
Come July.
The heat of the Yunfeng breach of contract compensation incident has long since dissipated, replaced by the finale of the comic "Wind and Cloud II".
"Ah, ah, I feel so sad to say goodbye again. I really can't bear to end it. I'm waiting for the return of Bu Jingyun and King Nie Feng who are frozen in ice."
"To be honest, "Wind and Cloud II" is no longer a martial arts comic, it's more like a fairy comic, but it's just as exciting and just as passionate."
"The name 'Feng Yun' means that only Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng are destined to survive to the end, just like the lone stars of the evil spirits."
"In the end, Nie Feng's son and Duan Lang's son exchanged identities. This must have paved the way for "Wind and Cloud III"."
"The ending is about spreading flowers, the tragic Huai Kong, the poor Zi Ning, the affectionate Po Jun... there are too many unforgettable characters and scenes. Thank you to the author for bringing us such a good work. "
…
"Wind and Cloud II" has been serialized since 1993. In fact, it is more than four years earlier than the three popular comics of "One Piece", "Naruto" and "Bleach". It can be said to be the leading work among the popular comics of the same era.
With its unique painting style and full-color production, it is undoubtedly at the forefront of the times and is a super classic Hong Kong comic.
However, such a work still has many shortcomings, which may also confirm the motto "Success is a matter of success, and failure is a matter of circumstance". It has never been able to escape the fate of Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng as the protagonists. Therefore, later in the comic, In order to avoid the obvious phenomenon of dragging out the plot, some characters that were painted with a lot of ink in the early stage, such as Huai Kong and Long Er, all left the scene early.
but……
Yunfeng directly obtained all Fengyun comics.
Therefore, he took advantage of his writing skills and made a change to the overall plot, which was equivalent to correcting those shortcomings.
Compared with the original comic, it is more perfect.
In fact, whether it is a comic or a novel, as long as it is a full-length work, there will be some problems, some big and some small, or holes that are forgotten to be filled, or bugs that cannot be explained, or endings that cannot be concluded.
The reason is also very simple. Apart from emotions and mental effort, the contradiction between "the aspects that the work needs to cover" and "the author's knowledge reserve in this area" is difficult to overcome.
Therefore, from the perspective of "no one is perfect", more or less problems are inevitable.
At the same time that "Wind and Cloud II" ended, Yunfeng posted a warm-up microcircle on his microcircle.
There is no text description, only a picture, a cartoon that makes people salivate at the first sight.
"Preview! This must be a preview of the new comic!"
"This painting is 'Ma Po Tofu'?"
“At first glance, the color, aroma and taste are all present.”
"Is this a preview of a new comic? It's just a dish, and it has nothing to do with the comic."
"Look, this is what Yunfeng had for lunch. He drew it casually and gave it to us for scoring."
…
Because there were no food-themed comics on Blue Star, I didn’t think about it in this direction.
However, this cartoon contains a mystery.
After about half an hour, an attentive fan finally discovered what Yunfeng had hidden in the comic.
"Didn't you notice? There are writings on some tofu."
"I'll go, it's really good!"
"It sounds like 'See you on July 7th'."
"I'm sure the new comic will be released that day."
"It's better to play with Yung Feng. You can't find it unless you look carefully."
