Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

However, the biggest problem in establishing a comics club is that if Xia Yuan wants to enter the comics field, he will not focus his main energy on submissions that are generally accepted in the market.

He would definitely prefer to present the works about other worlds in his mental database.

Nonsense, after all, the stock of the entire world is not enough? How many submissions are there? And they still need to be selected. The comics that are suitable for publication are always only a small part, and good cartoonists will not get their turn.

But there is a problem here. If Xia Yuan chooses to only publish the works in his mental database, the biggest problem is that no one will draw them and they cannot be drawn.

It is said that every profession has its specialties, and drawing comics is a technical job. It is indeed a bit difficult for Xia Yuan to draw those works since his current drawing level is still at the stage of drawing stick figures.

And the most crucial point is the issue of time.

If you draw the pictures yourself, not to mention that it takes an extremely long time to develop your painting skills, the most important point is that drawing comics is really time-consuming. This is also the most time-consuming literary and artistic work, no doubt about it.

Haven't you seen the works of Neon next door that have been serialized for thirty years? The serialization period of a comic book is often five or six years, and if it is a little longer, it is not a problem to draw more than ten years.

Then the best option is to find someone to draw. You can hire a group of painters to draw for you, and then have them provide the story script and creative direction.

This idea began to stir in Xia Yuan's mind the moment he saw the cartoonist named Mike submit his work.

The first is that their ideas coincide with each other. The other party's work is very close to "Transformers". If he were to be the chief artist, then Xia Yuan wouldn't even have to spend a lot of effort to communicate with the other party about many ideas or teach him how to draw. Basically, the other party would understand it as soon as he was told.

And what about the other party's painting skills? Although he is a complete layman and can't understand what painting style, painting skills, excellence, etc., it must be said that he can still tell whether the picture is attractive.

If nothing else, it is enough just for drawing comics.

Moreover, it is relatively rare for such investments to be directly received by him.

"It's him!" Xia Yuan set his target.

That day, when Mike, who had just got out of school, saw a receipt in his mailbox, he was stunned and felt like he was dreaming.

Because he had failed in his submissions during this period and no organization was willing to reply to his letters, his self-confidence had been hit hard and he began to doubt his dream.

Then I submitted my work to Xia Yuan and He Ye, purely as a last resort.

Otherwise, if there was a comics company that wanted it, why would he send his work to a film and television company that clearly had no comics business? Especially when they didn't even know him.

Although he was familiar with Xia Yuan's name, if he put himself in his shoes, he would realize that he was just a loser that no one cared about. He knew Xia Yuan, but to a famous director like Xia Yuan, he was just an NPC on the roadside, dispensable.

He didn't have any expectations for the manuscript he submitted to Heye Film and Television.

Until this moment.
[Dear Mr. Mike, our company has successfully received your manuscript. After reading it, I am honored to inform you that your manuscript has passed the review and meets the contract signing standards! You can bring your identity information and go to Heye Film and Television on the 78th floor of Luoshengdu Citi Center within three working days to sign the contract! ]

【Xia Yuan】

A very short letter stated that his manuscript had passed the review and that he had successfully obtained the opportunity to sign a contract with Heye Film and Television!
Although the specific amount of the signing fee is not stated here, nor is it the signing information of any well-known comic company or magazine, if it were some well-known cartoonists, they would probably have expressed their dissatisfaction long ago.

But for Mike now, this reply letter, which couldn't be simpler, was so light that the weight made his hands tremble as he held it, and he felt like crying.

This feeling is the feeling of being recognized by others, which is difficult for ordinary people to experience.

For Mike, he has never received recognition from others.

So forget about the signing bonus. Is it important? It's not important at all. "Sure enough, I was right. Director Xia Yuan is really a director who pays great attention to content and innovation! I was not wrong!"

Mike held the letter in his hand and didn't notice that his 'friend' was approaching in the distance.

It was Brody, who had many "entanglements" with him on a daily basis.

At this moment, Brody was walking towards him with a tall blonde girl in a cheerleading uniform in his arms.

This made Mike stunned for a moment, and he felt a little confused for a moment.

Monica!
This is the person that I have always been thinking about.

It's just that she is the school's cheerleader, a shining and attractive female star, and I...
I have attracted the other party's attention in the past three years, but there is no need to say more about the results.

Now the other person is quietly nestling in Brody's arms.

Brody looked at him, with a sunny smile on his face, and greeted him, "Hey, isn't this our dear great cartoonist? What did you receive? Why do you look so surprised? Could it be that the great cartoonist's submission was really approved by the agency?"

"Yes." Mike took a deep breath, nodded seriously, and looked into Brody's eyes.

It's time to be a little more confident.

Brody was a little surprised because this was the first time Mike looked him straight in the eye.

Seeing the inexplicable gleam in Mike's eyes that had never appeared before, he pursed his lips.

He originally wanted to make some sarcastic remarks to Mike, just like usual.

Looking into Mike's eyes, he gave up the idea and decided to forget it this time.

"Ok, as long as you're happy." Brody said, shrugging.

After packing up his things, Mike walked on the road, feeling an unprecedented cheerfulness.

The next day, Mike arrived as promised and felt the Heye Film and Television.

Faced with what might be the first major opportunity in his life, he seemed unusually reserved. After seeing Xia Yuan, he began to stutter.

And Xia Yuan had never thought that Mike, whom he admired and had high hopes for, was actually a high school student.

"You don't have to be so reserved, just relax." Xia Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay, respected Master Xia." Mike nodded quickly.

"Just call me Director Xia." Xia Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Well, since you are here, let's talk about your contract. I have good news and bad news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Mike's heart skipped a beat.

Any more bad news?
"Then let me hear the good news first?" (End of this chapter)
