When Ma Rongcheng learned that Yongsheng agreed to cooperate with the comic-making movie "Heroes of China" and would allow Hong Xing to provide guarantees for his safety, he immediately stopped pretending to be sick and decisively completed the discharge procedures, but did not return to Yulang International Company to work as soon as possible.
Instead, he and Cui Xingzhong came to the office building rented by the "Mingkong" publishing company and visited the office space of the future comic publishing department.
Then, with efficiency beyond dialect imagination, the two quickly formed a list of cartoonists and painters.
"This Wen Qiming, nicknamed "Niu Lao", is a disciple of Shangguan Xiaobao. Because he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has learned martial arts. According to him, he also has Western boxing, karate, free fighting and taekwondo, he is good at fighting comics, but so far, he has not written a comic."
Cui Xingzhong handed over the resume with the photo.
"His ability and talent are beyond doubt, but he just lacks an opportunity."
Ma Rongcheng added: "If he could give him an opportunity to create and publish, he would definitely join us."
Fang Yan did not answer immediately, but instead focused on the next one, "Where is this 'Xu Jingchen'?"
"He is like us, both from Yulang International Company. He has followed Mr. Huang after graduating from high school at the age of 17."
Cui Xingzhong briefly introduced it.
"Wouldn't Huang Yulang's confidant? Would he be willing to change jobs?"
Fangyan frowned.
Ma Rongcheng explained that although Xu Jingchen joined Yulang International Company early, he basically did the work of Huang Yulang's "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and his own "Chinese Heroes". For a long time, he was depressed and resigned from the comics industry.
Later, he switched to advertising design, but not long after, he ambitiously published his personal comics, called "Comic Boy".
Unfortunately, several issues were released, and the publication was stopped due to poor sales, but they still missed the comics, so they returned to Yulang International.
"Although he has great problems in story conception, plot design, plot arrangement, etc., his painting skills are outstanding."
Cui Xingzhong said seriously in a tone.
This pertinent evaluation is almost the same as what Fang dialect thinks.
Just from Xu Jingchen's famous comic "King of Fighters VS Street Fighter", we can see that he is difficult to control even in humanities.
The plot logic is not, the character is ruined in a mess, and there are too many eye-catching plots, such as Yagami and Haruri kissing each other.
Of course, in terms of shockingness, "The King of Fighters VS Street Fighters" is far less than the Hong Kong comic version of "The King of Fighters" in 1999.
"Xu Jingchen, I have worked with him for a long time. He can be said to have obvious advantages and disadvantages, but if you can find a screenwriter with Fang Sheng's skills and form a partner, you can have great potential." Ma Rongcheng sincerely recommended it.
"That's his."
Fang Yan put a check on Xu Jingchen's resume.
"The next one is 'Wen Riliang', nicknamed 'Fatty'..."
The recruitment list mentioned by Cui Xingzhong includes both cartoonists with unlimited potential and excellent painters who meet the requirements of dialects.
"I didn't expect that in just a few days, you've created such a detailed list!"
Pan Yaoming couldn't help but sigh.
"To be honest, I originally intended to establish a self-employed and create a publishing house for the first time after the contract expires in 1989. We have been paying attention to the works of our company and our colleagues in the outside world for a long time."
Ma Rongcheng smiled.
"No wonder!"
Pan Yaoming suddenly became enlightened. "But now that we have received Mr. Fang's invitation, we will naturally completely dispel this idea."
Cui Xingzhong's eyes were filled with respect.
"Maybe all of these people on the list can be recruited, right?"
Fang Yan raised his hand and turned the list back to the first page.
Cui Xingzhong nodded, "If the treatment conditions are in place, I expect to get 60% to 70%."
Fang Yan asked: "Did you ever estimate how long it will take?"
"According to your requirements, I am going to place the priority of recruiting artists with superb painting and creativity before signing a potential cartoonist." Cui Xingzhong's tone was a bit cautious, "If you have a conservative estimate, you should be able to recruit the first batch within two months."
"Okay, follow your own plan."
Fangyan took a sip of tea.
Ma Rongcheng said weakly: "Fang Sheng, I want to ask you something."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Are you thinking about the fantasy novel I have to draw into a comic?"
The dialect grinned.
"I can't hide anything from you."
Ma Rongcheng and Cui Xingzhong looked at each other, and their faces showed a look of embarrassment.
"I want to see it, but I have to sign this first."
Fang Yan winked at Pan Yaoming.
Pan Yaoming immediately understood and took out two confidentiality agreements from his bag:
"It's not that we don't believe you, but everything must be done in accordance with the rules and regulations, just in case there is a problem. First, we can find out which link is wrong. Second, we can avoid suspicion between each other. I hope you don't have any grudges."
"How could it be!"
Seeing this posture, Ma Rongcheng instantly realized how much Fang Yan attaches importance to this fantasy novel.
Fang Yan saw that the two of them signed their names neatly, and they didn't drag it out at all, so they handed them the first draft.
Ma Rongcheng and Cui Xingzhong competed to circulate, and were soon deeply attracted by the plot of "Xuanyuan Sword: The Seal of the Sky".
The story is set in the late Sui Dynasty. The hero Chen Jingchou, who was ordered by his master, embarked on searching for five legendary ancient artifacts, namely Xuanyuan Sword, Pangu Axe, Fuxi Qin, Shennong Ding, and Nuwa Stone, and embarked on the journey of Chen's restoration. The ending is two versions in the game.
One ending is mainly "Xiaoxue". After Tuoba Yuer was killed by Dugu Ningke, Chen Jingchou gave up saving Tuoba Yuer for the safety of the Central Plains. Tuoba Yuer also sacrificed herself for Chen Jingchou and turned into a reincarnated soul. Six hundred years later, Xiaoxue turned into a human form again and came to the tombs of Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yuer to worship, and the story came to a tragic end.
Another ending is mainly "Tuoba Yuer". After Tuoba Yuer was killed by Dugu Ningke, Xueer decided to sacrifice herself to save Tuoba Yuer. After that, Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yuer happily spent the rest of their lives, and Xueer turned into a human form again after six hundred years and came to their tomb to worship.
The dialect did not decide which version to use to end. After the comic is serialized, it depends on the voice of readers.
Just as he was waiting patiently, Ma Rongcheng's head was buzzing, his eyes staring at the manuscript paper.
It turns out that this is a fantasy novel!
Dangzhen is completely different from martial arts novels, integrating various oriental elements such as history, fairy tale, metaphysics, Taoism, and mythology.
Compared with "Xuanyuan Sword: The Seal of the Sky", the "low martial arts" comic "Heroes of China" is really backward and outdated! (This chapter ends)
