Big Manga

Meng Huo's new comic studio was arranged in the Phoenix Building.

At first he wanted to put it at home, and in fact there was enough space at home, but Xu Jing felt that he usually had to work, so it would be more convenient to draw in the company, and it would be very beneficial for other cartoonists to have editors on the side to guide him.

Meng Huo thought for a moment that this was indeed the case, so he readily accepted it.

The Phoenix Mansion vacated two rooms for Meng Huo and his assistants. First, the Girls’ Manga Department. After deciding to kill seven people, the Girls’ Editorial Department chose two of them with more potential cartoonists, while the Boys’ Editorial Department The candidate has not yet been decided.

Only two assistants are enough for a comic. Meng Huo plans to devote the rest of the staff to the game development. After discussion, he moved He Xi's House to the company and established a simple game studio. He Qian is in charge.

Candidates for the juvenile editorial department have not been selected, and the animation studio will need a few days to gather staff, so the first thing Meng Huo does is to prepare new comics for "Weekly Girls".

He recalled it for a long time. Although he hadn't read a few girl manga, he had watched some anime. He decided to adapt animation into comics, and even some animations were originally from comics.

The manga that was decided was "Sakura High School Male Public Relations Club", which is a shoujo manga through and through.

The story is set on the stage of the "Men's Public Relations Club", a club of "Private Orchid Academy High School", a celebrity high school attended by a super rich young lady. Six beautiful boys who are rich and idle set up the "Male Public Relations Department" in order to entertain the equally poor and boring daughters who taste gorgeous and elegant for a short time.

One day, the civilian heroine strayed into the department activity room of the "Male Public Relations Department" because she was looking for a place where she could study quietly. Forced to join the ministry due to an emergency. Become a member of the male public relations department. And then this and that and this and that...

In order for the Phoenix Company to fight back. Meng Huo didn't care about integrity anymore, and although this work has one woman and many men, its love is very pure - at least the animation he watched is like this, as for the original manga version, Meng Huo doesn't know what's going on .

"Teacher He Xi, do you think this is really appropriate?"

After being taught by Meng Huo, a female cartoonist wearing glasses swallowed her saliva: "I think there are a lot of romantic plots in this..."

Basic love - yes. This is the hidden highlight of "Sakura High School Male Public Relations Department". The difference between this work and ordinary manga with one woman and many men is that there are many "friendships" among the beautiful boys.

But overall,

"Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" is still a metaphor. It has the elements of reverse harem, but the story is pure and basic, but it can be regarded as friendship.

Pure people will be very pure when reading this cartoon, and impure people can be not so pure. It is a very provocative work. Needless to say, girls will love this production.

"Do you think these plots are inappropriate?" Meng Huo asked the female cartoonist. The latter quickly shook his head: "No, how could it be, it's suitable, it's so suitable!"

Another female cartoonist stared at Meng Huo strangely. Teacher He Xi is so familiar with girls' hobbies, could it be that he...

"Do you have any opinion?"

Meng Huo turned to look at her.

"No, no." The cartoonist immediately blushed and lowered his head: "When will we start working?"

"Now you can."

Meng Huo talked to two cartoonists about the plot of "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department". He knew the plot of the animation, so it was very simple to say. It took three hours for the female cartoonists to make notes. It's a thick stack, and I'm almost fascinated by it.

"I love this story."

"Teacher He Xi, please draw for us."

Meng Huo gave them some sketches, and then the two female cartoonists followed the sketches. To Meng Huo's surprise, the cartoons of these two female cartoonists were better than his.

Of course, this picture is not meant to be. Meng Huo's painting skills are very high. But he only remembers the plot of the animation, and a lot of details need to be added in order to adapt it into a manga, and the details created by the female cartoonist: including the small movements, expressions, and eyes of the characters, are full of girlish atmosphere.

"As expected of a professional..."

Meng Huo smiled wryly. He found that there was a big difference between him and female cartoonists. This difference did not lie in the drawing skills, but in the gender bias of some comic techniques and the grasp of female readers' hobbies.

"These flowers are so beautifully painted..."

He admired that when the male characters of "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" under the female cartoonists appeared on the stage or smiled, there would always be blooming flowers as the background on the screen. From this point alone, Meng Huo can't do it.

With a smile, flowers bloom all over the paper. He was a handsome man, but now he is so handsome that the female readers can scream.

If Meng Huo were to do it himself, he might not be able to spend so much time describing a man's smile. After all, he is also a man, and he always feels that he should not be too flirtatious, and he is not good at girl comics.

"That's how we usually draw. Girls manga rely on the picture."

"That's right, Teacher He Xi, do you think this is up to the standard?"

The two cartoonists looked nervous. They really liked the story, but as long as Meng Huo said it was not up to standard, they might lose this opportunity.

"Meet the standard."

However, Meng Huo nodded, not only meeting the standard, he felt that "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" could be handed over to these two female cartoonists to draw. They painted by themselves, and the result might be even better than Meng Huo.

This made Meng Huo happy. The female assistants were so helpful, and his work pressure was reduced. He drew a simple storyboard and left the rest of the work to them. The storyboard is like a draft, and Meng Huo didn't even need two hours to paint on "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department".

He signed an agreement with the female assistants, 60% of the economic effect of "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department" will be handed over to them, and he only needs 40%. This remuneration stunned the two assistants, because it was not an assistant's remuneration, but a three-person cooperation remuneration.

As the provider and guide of the story, Meng Huo only enjoys 40% of the remuneration. The two cartoonists think he is really a kind person.

They agreed without hesitation, and voluntarily gave up the fixed salary after cutting in half, and switched to the painting work of "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department". Because the place of work is in the headquarters of Phoenix Company, this manga can accept the guidance of the girls' editorial department. It will be a popular manga without reading it.

The subject of this comic is still He Xi, and the names of the two female cartoonists are listed under his pseudonym.

In just half a day, Meng Huo finished the manga work of "Yoran High School Male Public Relations Department". The speed was so fast that even he was surprised, and Meng Huo also found a way to improve efficiency.

If he finds a subject that his assistants are good at, then the effectiveness of his assistants can be enhanced. Female cartoonists can share most of the work of "Sakura High School Male Public Relations Department", so male cartoonists can certainly do the same.

What Meng Huo lacked the most was time. He thought about what other teenage cartoonists were best at, and finally came up with a cartoon—"Dream Eater", also known as "The King of Manga".

The comic "Dream Eater" is very interesting. It tells the story of drawing comics. It tells the story of two boys who started drawing comics together, became famous, and became successful in their careers. It is also an inspirational comic.

This comic does not fight and kill, it is just a story belonging to cartoonists, a comic with simple content. However, it has elements of popular comics. Blood, struggle, friendship, love, career.

Thinking of this cartoon, Meng Huo's heart became eager.

Why didn't he bring this comic over here? The comics in this world are just developing. If this comic is brought over, its impact may be helpful to Phoenix.

"Okay, it's decided."

Meng Huo immediately made a decision. The story line of "Dream Eater" is relatively long, and the backgrounds of the two worlds are very different. It took him a long time to sort it out into a written setting.

The story is still the same story, but the background is replaced by the background of China, and it becomes a similar future with a "developed comics market".

The next day, Meng Huo took the improved version of the "Dream Eater" story and some character settings to the weekly youth editorial department.

At that time, the editorial department of Weekly Youth was still arguing over which two cut-in-half cartoonists would be He Xi's assistants. When Meng Huo passed by with "Dream Eater", the entire editorial department erupted.

"This story is a fortress!"

"Talking about drawing comics, Mr. He Xi, you are amazing, you can draw such boring content so interesting!"

"Struggle, passion, youth, these settings are really good, and what's even more wonderful is its background setting. The comic awards and systems in it are almost the same as the real ones. I believe that the future comic market will develop in this direction. Already!"

What surprised Meng Huo even more was that the "Dream Eater" he brought caused a sensation, and the company held an emergency meeting to study its value with this set.

The management of Phoenix Company believes that the significance of this comic is not limited to economic benefits, but also has the effect of promoting comics, and it will even affect people who don't know comics to be familiar with comics, so that more teenagers will follow this path.

"Isn't that too exaggerated!"

At the meeting, Meng Huo was dumbfounded.

"Absolutely not, not exaggerating at all!"

Xu Jing patted the table in front of everyone, his expression excited: "Our Phoenix company needs such a comic, it is our hope, Meng Huo, the editorial department will help you complete this comic together!"

"In any case, you must turn it into a masterpiece!"

Xu Jing made a decision in his heart, such a cartoon centered on a cartoonist is simply unique, others can't write best-selling content even if they want to, but what a pity - he can do it! (To be continued..)
