Rebirth of the Father of Anime

"Oh! Damn it, we are so unlucky. I couldn't find the porter master at Tianman's booth and couldn't get his signature. What a bad luck!"

A handsome middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing brown sunglasses on his chest, with a coquettish slicked back hair, and a perfect blend of romantic and elegant temperament, was holding a lot of things while complaining loudly. , while walking towards He Chen.

He spoke so fast that He Chen couldn't understand his complaint. One looked less than 20 years old, and at first glance he looked over 30 years old. He Chen became even more interested in this strange combination.

The man came over and handed the trophies in the venue to Jerry, but Jerry looked regretful and said to him: "That's really regrettable... This gentleman also likes our fanfics very much. We are talking!"

Jerry put the things in the backpack they brought behind him, and then introduced He Chen in Chinese: "This is my partner, Tom, Tom Li."

The man also extended his hand to He Chen enthusiastically and said, "Hi, hello, I'm Tom. I'm so happy that you like our work!"

He Chen became even more embarrassed when he heard their names. He shook hands with him and muttered: "Tom and Jerry?"

"Oh! Exactly, these are our pen names, Tom and Jerry!" Thinking that He Chen had read their fan books, Tom enthusiastically took out a fan book and pointed to the position of the author's pen names on the cover to congratulate him. Chen said.

Only then did He Chen see this pen name that made him complain. Just now, he was reading the comic content directly, and didn't even notice this pen name that was full of flaws.

Do they think they are cat and mouse?

No matter from which point of view, these two people are not at all like the "Tom" and "Jerry" in He Chen's memory.

"What a... great pen name! I am He Chen." He Chen praised their pen names loyally. Then introduce yourself.

The two of them liked comics very much, especially "Dragon Ball". They talked about a lot of comics with He Chen. From the two of them, He Chen saw the taste of European and American readers for comics. Then He Chen asked them: "Are you amateurs?" Yes, or professional?”

He Chen was not familiar with European and American comic companies. Zhou Zhe has always been dealing with this aspect.

For the two of them, He Chen was delighted to see them. He wanted to know whether the two of them had the idea of ​​becoming professional cartoonists, and also wanted to know whether they had signed contracts with other companies.

“It’s considered semi-professional.

Tom smiled, "We are serializing a hero comic similar to Wukong on the website of North America's largest comic book company, but its popularity is neither high nor low. It's not even published in the magazines they publish... Amazing Comics' magazine is very powerful and has a large circulation in North America. The comics that can be published in their magazines are the most popular comics in North America! It's equivalent to, equivalent to, China's Tianman... maybe a little worse, at least similar to Shengshi. "

Tom seems to know a lot about China Animation Company.

"After we go back this time, we have a new idea. I believe this one will definitely be published in the magazine of Shocking Comics!" Jerry also said. "You are also a professional cartoonist, right? Chatting with you has brought us a lot of inspiration, thank you very much. What is your book? Where was it serialized? We will also go and read it when we get back. We support you!"

They didn't even recognize He Chen, and they even signed a contract... However, in order to let China's animation industry develop and increase competitiveness, He Chen generally would not poach domestic authors. But He Chen would not be so kind to foreign countries.

Especially superhero series. He will never let the extremely regrettable situation of the Justice League and the Avengers happen again.

"Are you interested in coming to Tianman?" He Chen directly extended the invitation.

"We can't do it in Jingman, and I'm afraid we can't do it in Tianman..." Jerry smiled shyly.

Tom looked at He Chen carefully, and suddenly took out his mobile phone, looked at He Chen, and then at the mobile phone. His blue eyes suddenly widened, and he pointed at He Chen in surprise and said: "Oh my God! Master Porter! So you are the one." Master Porter! Oh! Damn it, I didn’t recognize it!”

When Jerry heard this, he also showed a look of surprise: "Are you the master porter? That's right! That's the name master! Master, we all admire you very much. Can you sign your autograph for us?"

As he spoke, Jerry quickly took out a collector's edition of "eva" and the first edition of "Dragon Ball" volume from his bag, and handed them to He Chen expectantly.

Tom couldn't wait to get under the table and got into the booth. While complaining that Jerry only cared about himself and didn't help him get the book he was going to sign, he also took out the two books. These two were their favorites and they were specially brought here. , looking for signatures.

Tom ran around just now but couldn't find it. Unexpectedly, his idol was actually in front of his booth and said that their fandom was interesting.

Is there anything more exciting for them?

To be appreciated by the porter himself is like the movie winning an Oscar. This is the highest honor.

He Chen not only signed their names, but also wrote words of encouragement to them to create more special works.

The two of them were talking incoherently: "Master, I'm so sorry. Chinese people all look the same in our eyes. Forgive me for not recognizing you immediately... because we really didn't expect that, Master, you would find our works interesting!"

"Interesting works are naturally interesting." He Chen replied lightly, and then repeated the question just now, "Are you interested in coming to Tianman? I believe that you will get better development if you come to Tianman."

This is a huge temptation. Being invited by the porter in person is an opportunity that most people can't ask for.

The two looked at each other, as if they were afraid of making He Chen angry, and said uneasily: "However, Jingman signed a three-year contract with us. During this period, we can only serialize on his side, and we must follow the rules." The contract stipulates that a certain number of stories will be serialized. Our contract only expires in two years, and if we leave now, there will be high liquidated damages."

This is a common practice among comic companies nowadays. For potential authors, if they are afraid of being poached, they will have this kind of restrictive contract, either stipulating a certain number of years or stipulating the number of works. If they break the contract, they will have to pay high liquidated damages. , in order to increase the cost and risk of poaching people.

He Chen chuckled: "You don't have to worry about this."

These two can be regarded as malleable talents with great potential. Moreover, among He Chen's assistants, there is no European or American assistant. For the great goal of world unification, he also wants to take these two people under his command.

Being able to dig out the "Superman" script from "Dragon Ball", He Chen believed that these two people would definitely be able to come up with more and better stories. Compared with their future value, this liquidated damages was insignificant in He Chen's eyes.

The two of them have a lot of fantastic ideas, but the only shortcoming is their painting skills. I don’t know if it’s due to European and American styles, or if the two of them are really different now. The pictures are rough and crazy, and the storyboards are well mastered, but the battle scenes are easy. It gives people a "messy" feeling.

If he could train and teach under He Chen for a few years, He Chen would have high expectations for his future.

He Chen's words made the two of them particularly moved. However, the two of them lowered their heads and discussed for a long time before saying to He Chen in embarrassment: "Master, your invitation is too sudden. We are flattered. Can you give us some time?" Think about it carefully?"

"No problem, as long as you are interested, you can contact me at any time." He Chen readily agreed to their request. Seeing that it was already getting late, He Chen took out a business card that he had almost never had a chance to use, and handed it to Give it to the two of them, then say goodbye and return to the Tianman booth.

The two did not immediately agree to He Chen's invitation, which made He Chen a little regretful.

He Chen also began to make preparations in his mind if the two of them were unwilling to come to Tianman for some reason.

He must get the superhero series. If superheroes are open to fans, this will definitely be a super big world that is not weaker than the Touhou series.

To build a two-dimensional world, the superhero series is an indispensable part.

Besides, with its ferocious commercial value, it would be impossible for He Chen to give up so easily.

In order to prevent those two people from creating superheroes for others, He Chen had to create a series of superheroes before them. In this way, even if they create other forms due to changes in the world line, as long as their abilities are similar to his own, everyone can Basically, Tianman will prevail.

Who made Tianman more famous?

He Chen would be happy and relaxed if they could join Tianman. If they didn't join, He Chen would have no choice but to apologize.

There are countless superheroes, and He Chen simply cannot serialize all the comics in a short time, so he plans to refer to "Oriental Fantasyland" and only publish superhero settings.

The settings of the movie and Marvel are very exciting. Although he can't remember many stories, He Chen still remembers those famous superheroes vividly.

The existing heroes in superheroes cover almost all abilities that can become "abilities", including physical system, energy system, spiritual system, magic system, technology system, and even time, space, dimensions, atoms, everything is included. , you can find similar templates in it for any ability you can think of.

It can be said that as long as He Chen completes the superheroes in it, this theme will be completely marked as a "porter".

With only settings, He Chen could create all the superheroes in the shortest possible time.

Then use fan fiction to allow fans to create their own wonderful superhero stories and improve the superhero world, while all copyrights are still in the hands of Tianman.

Even if the system does not read the superhero comic series, He Chen only needs to use various major events to adjust the timeline and story rhythm of the superheroes, and the superheroes can shine more dazzlingly in He Chen's hands than before.

After returning to the booth, He Chen was thinking about the superhero plan. With a rapid ringing, the "Jihad" sounded the battle horn. (To be continued)
