What should I do if the system forces me to copy books?

Therefore, after seeing the character design given by Maple Leaf Animation, Li Chungang was somewhat dissatisfied.

So I sent a message back to Keren: "In terms of the content of the first draft, there is generally no problem, that is, you can talk to Maple Leaf Animation to let the artist be more bold and unrestrained. Gods and ghosts, this aspect can be exaggerated as much as possible. In addition, there are some problems with individual settings. For example, the big gold tooth is a bit too upright and clean. You must know that the setting in the book is a Sijiucheng scrambled to play a role similar to that of Erdao dealers and gangsters, but it was a little more wretched.

Specifically, you can ask them to come to Longteng to refer to the content of the book page of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" that I made for these characters.Of course, these are my family's opinions, and I didn't say that you must follow my ideas, they are purely suggestions! "

He is also worried that if he points fingers too much, the people at Maple Leaf Animation will think that his behavior is a bit too out of bounds. Although the author does have the right to speak in this regard, so after briefly talking about his own experience , I still couldn't help explaining it a little bit, I believe Keren will understand.

Li Chungang found that he had a slight perfectionism. When he saw these places that didn't fit his image, he felt a little uncomfortable. He just felt awkward, so he naturally wanted to be able to modify it.During this period of time, because he entered the rhythm of double novels again, the hand-painted board he bought with a lot of money had been thrown aside for a while to eat dust, and now it was suddenly brought up, so he simply took this opportunity to save a few of his remaining works. So many of the main characters have been completed one by one.

"Okay, I'll communicate with Maple Leaf Animation." Keren obviously sat in front of the computer and waited. The message here had just been sent, and it didn't take long for him to reply.

At this time, it is reflected that there are benefits of saving manuscripts. Even if the content of the five chapters of each code word in the two books originally planned today has not been completed, it still does not prevent Li Chungang from giving up the code words at this time and choosing to take out his own. On one side, the drawing board that was about to be covered with dust was plugged into the computer, and he started the huge project of human design for his works.

Chapter 362

At present, the price of an artist who specializes in drawing people in China will probably fluctuate between 300-600, and those with a little bit of popularity will have to increase several times on this basis. As for those painters who have already become famous...

Don't think that it's okay, unless you can pay a sky-high price, otherwise people won't come to draw your character.

All walks of life have a distinction between the top and the bottom. In the comics industry, almost every newcomer starts by drawing characters, coloring pictures, covers, illustrations and other small cases for others. Wait until you start in the industry Once you have a little reputation and your painters are recognized by the industry, you will slowly start to move up.

Of course, there are also talented people, like Li Chungang, whose debut is the pinnacle, as soon as they come up, they can contribute their own personal comics to the comic agency, and their debut works can attract countless readers and fans.

Although Li Chungang is also very confident in his artistry, he has never thought about entering the comics industry. The most important thing is that his system is called [Literature Encyclopedia System], not [Manga Encyclopedia System]. I can draw well after unlocking the drawing skills, but I don’t have the concept of creating comics at all in my mind. Maybe it’s a little tricky to let him adapt his own works into comics.

But it’s okay to deceive laymen who don’t understand, but for him who has tried to draw characters by himself, he knows very well that drawing is more time-consuming and energy-consuming than coding novels. No matter how bad writing a novel is, no matter how serious the shortage of ideas is, you can still fill the novel content with a lot of water to cope with it, but there is absolutely no such possibility in painting!

The code word can be uploaded simply by tapping the keyboard and writing it cracklingly, and the readers are very satisfied with it, subscribing and rewarding all kinds of things; if they are not satisfied, it must be that the readers are too picky and don’t like it. He wrote this style, anyway, as a principled author, he would never admit that his level is poor.

As for comics or something, it’s better to treat it as a hobby in your spare time. I have already turned coding into a hobby and a career, so don’t waste other hobbies.

What's more, Li Chungang still has the idea of ​​becoming a small screenwriter in the entertainment industry to join in the fun, and I am afraid that he will have no time to take care of so many interests and hobbies to develop together.After all, a person's energy is limited, even if he can do the decathlon, but he can't do the decathlon, the real life is to make a choice!

—

This Li Chungang began to immerse himself in the great cause he set for his own works, and the other end received some of his opinions and suggestions, and even though it was already off-duty time, he decided to find him without a word. The person in charge of Maple Leaf Animation.

"These are some personal suggestions from Zhichun Zhigang, the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", for your company's adaptation of the comic of the same name. You can refer to it if you can. Of course, the final decision is still in your hands. There is no doubt about it." Keren After deliberating, he sent such a sentence to the other party, and then directly sent a screenshot of Li Chungang's original words to the other party without any changes.

In order to prevent the other party from mistakenly thinking that she was making it up, she even took a screenshot of Li Chungang's Koukou ID. How could the four characters "Zhichun Zhigang" be unrecognizable?

"About the author's request that the details can be more bold and unrestrained, I think it is completely fine. Later we will make fine-tuning and revisions in some scary places. There is also the problem of individual personalities. He said that in addition to big Are there any specific characters other than Gold Teeth who have any questions?" The original intention of both parties was to make the manga of the same name adapted from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" better, so the person in charge of Maple Leaf Animation accepted it very humbly. One suggestion made by Li Chungang can actually be said to be two points.

Keren: "He didn't say that, but he suggested that you can download a client of our Longteng, find the page of the book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and look at the character designs on it. It is said that all these character designs are made by Zhichun. Zhigang did it by himself, and after reading it, maybe I can give you some inspiration and suggestions.”

"???"

The person in charge of Maple Leaf Animation has a "Nick Young question mark face" expression on his face.

Wait, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?

The author of the novel personally draws characters for his own work! ?

Could it be that the current web writers are all so versatile? If this is the case, those people who are mixed in comics and animation circles will not want Alexander, should they also learn from their web writers to write? Is a first-hand novel considered fair and equal?

For the comic circle, the process of publishing a comic is basically a cooperation between the cartoonist and the special screenwriter. After the two parties negotiate the conditions of cooperation, the screenwriter is responsible for giving a story, and then assists the cartoonist to be responsible for the The story is drawn step by step.Of course, there are not no cartoonists who create their own plots and then complete the drawings by themselves, but there are very few people with this talent.

The person in charge couldn't help laughing, but the smile was a bit contemptuous. As a writer of online articles, you Zhichun Zhigang put forward opinions from the author's point of view, and they are responsible for receiving opinions. alright.It turned out to be good now, and they were actually asked to refer to the character set drawn by him himself——

This is simply taking your hobbies and challenging our profession!Uncle could bear it, but aunt couldn't bear it. With such disdainful thoughts, the person in charge chose to download the Longteng Reading Client into his mobile phone. He wanted to see for himself what a web writer could draw.

Li Chungang spent almost the whole night on painting.Fortunately, he already had the experience of painting related characters before, and all of them are his own works, so he knows the characters well, unlike other painters who need to learn more about them before they can start painting. So this efficiency is called a speed.

Moreover, it is better to be alone than to be happy together. These characters are drawn for readers to see, and at the same time, they can read the content of the novel and have a richer image of the characters in the book in their minds. full.

It was just a one-night effort. The character design of "Medical Warriors" is announced to have been completed, and the character design of "Snowy Swordsman" has already drawn the main characters a long time ago. This time Li Chungang simply didn't do anything, and filled in the rest of the characters who had appeared in the book but were not too outstanding in the scenes.

Chapter 363 National Signing Event

Life is like this, sometimes it is so idle that people feel idle and bored, and sometimes it seems that everything is rushed like an appointment, which makes people feel at a loss.

In the last week of May, after a leisurely week of attending classes during the day, coding at night, and going home on weekends to spend the two-person world with He Miao, when time quietly embarked on the journey of June... a series of things began one after another came to the door.

First, the editor at Manjinghua Publishing Company, who is responsible for publishing with Li Chungang, contacted him first. Fortunately, it was not a big deal, it was a common problem of all publishing authors all over the world - delaying manuscripts!Seeing that it is already June, and there is still no news of the last volume of "Kyushu Misty Records" that will be published this month. They are also anxious at Manjinghua Publishing House. Why don't they just order manual manuscripts.

Moreover, it was not without some miscalculations when urging the manuscript, because according to the contract reached between their publishing house and Zhichun Zhigang on "Kyushu Misty Record", it clearly stated that there will be a total of six volumes until the end, while "Kyushu" The end of Misty Records means that the publishing house has fallen into another "cash cow", which is not what they want to see, so the top priority is naturally to find Li Chungang to promote their relationship, and to find out if there is a next book idea.

if there is...

Then what are you thinking about, no matter what the price is, they must win Manjinghua Publishing Company!

If not...

It doesn’t matter, if you don’t have it now, it doesn’t mean you won’t have it in the future. Let’s first promote the relationship between the two of us, and then consider and conceive new works for the sake of friendship!

Of course, favors belong to favors, and the number must be clear.Manjinghua Publishing Company will not give up the opportunity to cling to Li Chungang, the golden thigh of Optimus Prime. The time increases, and the rewards continue to rise every year.

"There will be bread, and there will be milk! There will definitely be manuscripts, but not now. I will send them to you after I finish writing them in a few days. There are indeed a lot of things recently. Don't worry, I will never delay the last The delivery date!" Li Chungang said perfunctorily with a smile.

As early as last month, he set aside a day to complete the content of "Kyushu Misty Record Ⅵ Leopard Soul", but the completion is complete, but the people in the publishing house can't think that he writes books and works just like writing online articles The same is easy and simple, if it is too simple, it is easy not to cherish it.

People are so cheap sometimes, the more things you can't get, the easier it is to cherish!This was a little routine he and Luo Wen had settled on before, in order to hang Man Jinghua Publishing Company and at the same time let the other party realize how difficult it is to get the work out.

"That's no problem~ By the way, isn't the last volume of "Kyushu Misty Records" going to be released this month? What our publishing house means is that, while the last volume is on sale, I will give it to you, the author of Chungang. Arrange a national signing event, the content is roughly a complete set of "Kyushu Misty Records" and an additional set of commemorative picture albums, and the places that are currently set are only four domestic first-tier cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, do you think it is okay?"

This should be regarded as the most humble editor in charge of a publishing house in history. The editors of the publishing house are also arrogant in front of other writers. These authors have always begged their editors to publish their works. Works, like never before...

Their publishing house spent money and effort to hold a signing event for a writer, and still humbly ask for the other party's opinion?

It doesn’t matter if other writers hear that they can hold a signing event, not to mention it’s personal, even if it’s held with a large number of other colleagues, it really doesn’t matter!

"I really can't answer you in the short term. Whether you will participate or not will depend on the time of your autograph signing. After all, I am still a freshman. You must be clear about this. There are still one or two more After the week is over, I will enter the intense and busy review week and exam week, and I may not be able to spare time to attend."

National signing event...

To be honest, this is also the first time for Li Chungang to have this kind of treatment. Before that, he used to find a place in Yanjing or Shanghai, the magic capital, to hold a special signing event. The scale was also large and small. The invited authors were alone Some of them are also with other authors.

Like less than two months ago, I was invited by Long Teng to go to Shanghai to hold a reader signing event with about seven or eight first-line master writers. The works of physical books, and the peripheral products that can be bought on the spot in the venue are even better.

Posters and hanging pictures of novel characters; there are also various small objects such as bookmarks, mouse pads, key chains, thermos cups, etc.

Calling these authors over is actually for the smoothness of Longteng's sale of works around this time. I have to say that Brilliance played very well, and readers and fans also enjoyed it very much. He left with two bags.

Also since that time, both the Longteng Chinese website webpage and the Longteng Reading mobile client have added a function called "Longteng Peripheral Mall", where readers and fans can choose any popular peripheral products that are currently launched.

Of course, it is impossible for all the works of Longteng Chinese.com to develop peripherals, it still depends on the popularity of the works, but at least none of Li Chungang's works is left behind.

Longteng sells peripheral products of the works, so it is natural to share a part of the profit with the author. As for the specific share ratio, it is a commercial secret and cannot be disclosed. Anyway, Li Chungang’s monthly manuscript fee is already extremely generous, so it has risen again. .

"..."

"Uh~ Our publishing house will make the preliminary arrangements first, at least here near Yanjing, we can put it in the first place, and then we can wait for the rest of the cities to go one by one after you, writer Chungang, are officially on vacation. What do you think? Sample?"

"That's no problem. I still have time after the holiday."

"Then it's settled!"

Afraid of any further misfortunes, he decided to finalize the first game in Yanjing first, otherwise he, the editor, would really have no way to explain to the boss and directors at the regular meeting next week, and now at least four points have been completed One, something to come up with is not.

Chapter 364

"My "Sword Come" has been cast and filmed as a TV drama company. The next step is to start preparations for the crew and arranging the location of the shooting scene. But all of this has a premise, and that is the script."

If you don't even have the most basic script, you can just go find a director or an actor or something, unless it's the second- and third-rate directors who are eager for money and don't have much reputation and level, but Gu Wan'er made it clear that she wanted to How could it be possible for someone who spends a lot of money to follow the route of high-quality production to find these people to make up for it.

Therefore, if you want to find a satisfactory and suitable candidate, this script is the most important thing!

According to the cooperation agreement reached between Li Chungang and Wanxing Entertainment Company, this 40% share includes his "labor fee" for adapting "Sword Come" into a script.

Fortunately, he has not been just eating dry food during this period of time. From time to time, he has been thinking in his heart where the plot content of the first part of "Sword Come" is suitable for a 60-episode TV series, and then how to change it if it is adapted into a script Well presented.

Finally think twice -

The content of the first part still chooses Chen Pingan, a young man from Niping Lane, to escort Li Baoping and others to the academy. The reason for this choice is because the content of the 60-episode TV series can include the protagonist’s struggle to survive in the cracks at the beginning, and then to the end. It is the first time to walk out of this narrow world and walk the wonderful story of the rivers and lakes. The final ending arranges the parting of the academy, and the abrupt end here can leave enough interest for the second and even the third part for the audience. Unlimited reverie and anticipation.

The most important thing is that the length is appropriate and it is appropriate!

"It may take a little time and effort to change the script." Li Chungang told Gu Wan'er truthfully that adapting the script is not like writing a novel with code words, as long as it is copied and coded according to the content in the memory in his mind.But adapting scripts is completely different. He just unlocked the skill series on script writing and has the knowledge and ability in this area, but how to implement it depends on the full-screen personal ability.

"It's natural!"

After all, the filming of "The Sword Comes" involves the common interests of both parties. Gu Wan'er may not understand it, but someone from Wanxing Entertainment will naturally remind her of how important a good script is.After some friendly consultations, here is a three-month adaptation time. This time is only a preliminary date. It is not expected to be able to adapt all the scripts of 60 episodes, but at least half of the 30 episodes must be given to the It's done, and the follow-up can wait for their crew to finish while filming.

With a total investment of 1.5 million yuan, 60 episodes are shot, which is equivalent to 250 million episodes.Of course, in the actual shooting process, it is impossible for every episode to reach this level, because the content and required special effects will naturally require different expenses, and it will also include various expenses including the crew, actors, etc., post-publicity work It's a huge expense to carry out...

However, it can be seen from the above investment that Gu Wan'er is still very ambitious, at least not like those of her little friends who are purely burning money for personal hobbies.The person who really thinks this way is probably the real fool!

Take people's money and save people's disasters.

Now that the benefits have been received, it is natural to get things done beautifully!So starting today, in addition to the original coding work, he has an additional task, which is to adapt "The Sword Comes" into a script.

Considering that there are still two weeks to go before Tsinghua University’s most exciting review week and exam week, Li Chungang decided to change the plan after careful consideration. It is necessary to update the five chapters of the two books every day. It's unshakable, but "Full-time Master" can be topped with the saved manuscript first. Anyway, the big 80 million words saved manuscript will be no problem for two months.

It is undeniable that Li Chungang, who has been developed through the expansion of the limit of the brain domain, has indeed guaranteed his outstanding talent in learning, but it does not mean that he can achieve full grades in every subject without reading books and reviewing at all.In any case, the status of this "student master" still cannot be lost, and he has to stand up!

And next year, sophomore year will usher in the Literature Year, and there will be round after round of literary competitions, essay competitions, Seven Star Literature Cup and other grand events waiting for Li Chungang to participate, just as he promised to come to Tsinghua University to create his own The legend is not just lip service. The leaders of the college also attach great importance to the sophomore year. Whether they can be proud of Yenching University in this year depends on this time.

"As long as it's about literature, I'm not afraid!"

—

The days that followed became full and busy, and there was a beautiful event that made him shudder every time he recalled it...

"Huh! I can finally relax a little bit."

Yesterday, he had finished the exam of the last subject of the freshman year, and seeing the content of the script full of scripts displayed on the computer screen, Li Chungang breathed a sigh of relief.Although there is still a huge distance from the huge project of completing all 60 episodes of scripts, at least the first fifteen episodes have been initially completed.

Why is it said that it is completed, because after the script is completed, it needs to go through several times of refinement before it can be finalized, and then after the script is finalized, it needs to apply for review and record at the Guangding Bureau before it can be shot.

Standing up, stretching and walking out of the study, looking down at the lobby on the first floor, I saw He Miao sitting cross-legged on the sofa, eating snacks and watching dramas.

"Busy working?"

Glancing at Li Chungang who was sitting next to him, He Miao glanced at him and asked.

"It's been a busy period. Anyway, there is still more than a month. I plan to take a break and rest... I am not a robot that will not feel tired."

"Don't talk about it, after I finish this old book, I can't be busy even if I want to. I have written three beginnings during this time, and I am not very satisfied after sending it to the editor for reading. It feels a bit off. However, the editor said that the theme of the resurgence of spiritual energy is very interesting!"

"That must be, and I don't even look at who came up with this spiritual recovery flow, that is, you. If it were someone else, I wouldn't tell people such a good thing."

"What do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll buy food and prepare it in advance."

"It's fine, as long as it's made by you, I like to eat it."

Just like Li Chungang's talent in literature, He Miao is also very talented in cooking. In just one or two months, he has been promoted to the chef of the family, and Master Hu is happy to see Qicheng, from time to time, he comes to the villa for half teaching and half work, and at least he is paid a high salary.

After getting along for this period of time, there is no sense of strangeness between the two of them, even Li Chungang thinks that they should be a couple, and they are still the kind of old couple who have lived together for decades.

Although it is plain, he enjoys it very much. After all, there are so many exciting and exciting plots in the lives of ordinary people.

Accompanying He Miao to watch dramas until twelve o'clock, in the name of understanding the current TV drama market, Li Chungang yawned and went back to his room to get ready for bed.

But what he never expected was that as soon as he was lying on the bed, He Miao opened the door and walked in swaggeringly in his pajamas.

"Uh! What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just use the legal rights of being your girlfriend."

Everything seems sudden, but very...

It's a matter of course!

------------

With this speed, I think it’s worth it for the readers, let’s give it a tip!

Chapter 365

"This is me, was it reversed?"

In the morning, Li Chungang woke up with his eyes open, and glanced at the seedlings that had long disappeared around him. If he hadn't seen the pants he was wearing lying quietly on the ground beside the bed, he would have seriously doubted whether he was born. hallucinated.
