Compared with Chu Kuang and Xian Yu's status in their respective fields, Shadow is far inferior to these two in terms of fame and influence. Even the fans who follow the three friends at the same time habitually treat Shadow as a nobody. With the release and success of "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma", this gap has undoubtedly narrowed a little. Although in general, Shadow's influence in the comics circle is still not comparable to the other two -
This is Luo Wei's perspective.
Having witnessed the huge success of Food Wars!, Luo Wei was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.
Her mind was full of fantasies about Shadow becoming a top boss in the comics circle and working hand in hand with Chu Kuang, so much so that she couldn't help but doze off when she came to the studio the next day.
but…
Even sleepiness could not suppress her excitement and anticipation at the moment.
"The gap between us now is nothing. One day, Shadow will also achieve the same success as Chu Kuang and Xian Yu!"
With this thought in mind.
When Luo Wei saw Lin Yuan again, she felt complicated and emotional.
At the beginning, she never thought that Lin Yuan could achieve such great success in the comics circle under the name Shadow. Not only is he good at painting, but he also has a strong ability to create comic scripts!
Lin Yuan was also very happy.
Because the revenue brought by the popularity of "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" is very considerable, his reputation as a painter is constantly rising due to the popularity of this comic.
"boss."
Kaneki, who has completely integrated into the role of agent, said with a smile: "Once this comic is out, the boss's label of pure artist will be removed, but we still have to work harder to firmly establish our position as one of the three pillars of tribal comics!"
Lin Yuan was curious: "Three pillars?"
Jin Mu said: "I also recently did some research and learned that the top three works on a comic website are generally cultivated by the comic website as pillars. Whether it is recommended on the site or promoted outside the site, the resources are the best, because the website also needs to use the influence of pillar-level works to consolidate its position in the industry."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Luo Wei beside him said loudly: "We can speed up the update! If we want good results, we have to update quickly! I am not afraid of hard work or fatigue!"
"Ha ha."
Kaneki laughed: "Assistant Luo is really motivated, but famous cartoonists in the industry basically have several assistants to help them. Even if we want to speed up the update speed, we may not be much faster than others, unless we continue to recruit people..."
"Forehead."
Luo Wei frowned when she heard this: "Uncle Jin, are you dissatisfied with my performance?"
"On the contrary."
Jinmu said seriously: "Assistant Luo is no longer just a comic assistant. You can share half of the tasks with the boss. I want to recruit two real assistants to share the work with the boss and Assistant Luo respectively."
Luo Wei smiled and said, "That's fine with me."
She is Lin Yuan's first assistant. If the studio hires more people, they can only serve as second or third assistants. This will not affect her work, but will instead provide her with a lot of help.
Lin Yuan also nodded, indicating that he had no objection.
Kaneki nodded: "Also, regarding the animation of "Prince of Tennis", I have already discussed with Shenyi about signing the contract..."
Lin Yuan said: "I have read the contract, no problem, please authorize Uncle Jin to sign it for me."
Recently, Kaneki has been following the animation of "The Prince of Tennis" and finally decided to cooperate with Shenyi.
Shenyi is the most competitive animation company interested in "Prince of Tennis", and the animations it produces have always had a good reputation.
Jinmu had discussed the contract matter with Lin Yuan before.
…
In the following days, Kaneki recruited two more assistants into Shadow Studio, who served as the second and third assistants in the creation of "Food Wars! Shokugeki!", and indeed helped Lin Yuan and Luo Wei share a lot of work.
As the series progresses.
This drama "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" has indeed maintained its third place in popularity on the website, without showing any signs of starting high and ending low.
Of course, it didn't go any further.
Lin Yuan was not disappointed about this. It was somewhat difficult to rely on "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" to take the top spot on the website. Although this comic was very powerful, the cartoonists of Blue Star should not be underestimated.
not to mention…
Qin Qi's most popular category among readers has always been the hot-blooded fighting comics. No comic company's flagship work has ever been a non-hot-blooded fighting work. In a sense, "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" has created a miracle. Who would have thought that such an unpopular subject as food comics could become a pillar-level work
also.
In addition to comic matters, Lin Yuan finally began to consider his second movie, and he found Lao Zhou.
"A new play?"
After hearing Lin Yuan's intention, Lao Zhou suddenly became energetic: "Have you written the script for your next play? Bring it back to me. Our film department needs to study it and see how much investment is appropriate for the company!"
Lin Yuan said: "I also want to invest."
Having tasted the sweetness of success with "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One", Lin Yuan now also wants to invest in movies on his own.
Lao Zhou was stunned for a moment: "You want to invest too?"
Lin Yuan nodded: "Is it not possible?"
Lao Zhou smiled and said, "Of course, it's possible, but the investment ratio will be decided by the company. We will study it later. How about taking a look at the script first?"
"Um."
Lin Yuan took out the script of "The Tuner" that he had worked on recently.
The name hasn't been changed.
When the movie is released, just add the alias "The Pianist".
Old Zhou flipped through the script in front of Lin Yuan.
After flipping through the pages for less than five minutes, Lao Zhou suddenly looked up at Lin Yuan and said thoughtfully, "This movie... um, it seems to be different in style from your last movie?"
“It’s different.”
Lin Yuan said: "This time it's a suspense film."
Lao Zhou subconsciously wanted to frown, but he held back, and only the corner of his eyebrow twitched slightly: "Why don't you continue to make comedies?"
This question is very normal.
Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that Lin Yuan’s new film should be a nonsensical comedy movie.
Jumping from a comedy to a suspense film all of a sudden
This choice is really puzzling.
It is obvious that "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" has already been proven successful once.
As long as Lin Yuan makes a similar movie by following the same pattern, preferably using the original cast of the first movie, the box office will definitely be good!
There are even senior executives in the company who hope that Lao Zhou and Lin Yuan can have a chat and see if they can make a second part of "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One - Pandora's Box"
As a result, not only was there no second part, but Lin Yuan’s new script even changed its genre and style!
This is not in line with the style of the film and television industry at all.
Lin Yuan said: "That's it."
Lin Yuan had no way to explain it, the system just gave him the script of "The Tuner".
No choice.
Lao Zhou hesitated for a moment before finally nodding and saying, "Then I'll take the script back and study it."
