My Animation Era

"Comic creation is really difficult for me!"

Talking about the creative process, Liu Qingshan said helplessly: "Unlike the previous "Super Detective Doyle", Conan is an orthodox mystery comic without any super power elements."

"Mr. Gu, you may not know."

"In order to figure out a way for a criminal to commit a crime, the most exaggerated time was that I didn't sleep well for three days in a row and kept looking at various information and cases..."

"I understand what you mean."

Gu Miao nodded.

As a literary and artistic creator, he can certainly understand Liu Qingshan's feeling of torment.

A cup of tea and a pack of cigarettes, and two thousand words written in one day! This is a sentence that many online writers often use to ridicule themselves. This sentence is perfect for describing Liu Qingshan's feelings.

In fact.

Whether you are engaged in the online literature industry or the comics industry, the process of writing or drawing is actually not difficult to say.

The hard part is the “conception” part.

Take online writing as an example. How fast can a normal person type on a computer?

The world record is 807 words per minute.

Even if a normal person cannot reach the level of the world record, if the record is cut in half, it will not be a problem to type two to three hundred words a minute, right?

At least 12,000 words in that hour!

But this is without considering the plot and just typing blindly. If you need to conceive a plot, what if every plot and wording need to be considered?

That speed may be more than 10 times slower.

The same is true for Liu Qingshan's troubles. The comic is being serialized and cannot be interrupted easily, and the "Detective Conan" he created is an orthodox reasoning comic that emphasizes rigorous logic.

Good guy!

Just thinking about it, Gu Miao can probably understand why he said that he wanted to "give up" many times while creating.

"The reason why I persist is, apart from the significant improvement in the performance of the comics, the most important thing is your affirmation of me and the fact that the comics are about to be adapted into animation."

Liu Qingshan said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, if there is no news about the comic adaptation, my original plan was to end the serialization in the first half of this year."

This is real.

Because Gu Miao blocked everyone who wanted to buy the copyright, although the comic "Detective Conan" has achieved good popularity since the serialization of Beep Comics, there has been no news of "adaptation".

This matter is not only confusing to readers.

As the author of the comic "Detective Conan", Liu Qingshan himself also had doubts.

Could it be that my painting is too bad?

Or is it that "Detective Conan" that I put so much effort into creating is completely shit in the eyes of others?

Under this premise of self-doubt, Liu Qingshan was naturally in a very depressed mood. After all, news of an animated adaptation of his previous work "Doyle" has been reported, but the new work has not been recognized for a long time.

Fortunately, he made it through.

It can't be said that he survived. When he had the idea of ​​"giving up", the editor took the initiative to find him and learned that Gu Miao wanted to meet with him to talk about the animation adaptation of "Detective Conan"...

Under the influence of this incident, he did not give up comic serialization.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

After the small talk, Gu Miao immediately corrected his attitude and said: "I personally and Wanbao Animation Company are extremely optimistic about the comic "Detective Conan"."

"I hope Mr. Aoyama can strengthen your will and continue serializing the manga!"

"As for the animation adaptation, I can guarantee you that Wanbao Animation will definitely invest a lot of resources and implement it as an S-level project."

Speaking of which.

Gu Miao seemed to have thought of something and said apologetically: "But you also know that I personally can't spare the time. So I chose a new director for this project..."

Guo Hongwei nodded towards Liu Qingshan.

After hearing this, Liu Qingshan roughly understood. Gu Miao means that he has other work, so the animated version of "Detective Conan" will be produced by his apprentice Guo Hongwei.

Guo Hongwei?

Can he... do it?

Liu Qingshan looked at Xiao Guo suspiciously, his eyes full of distrust.

It's not that he looks down on Xiao Guo, or that he thinks Xiao Guo is incompetent. Mainly because he felt that Guo Hongwei really knew how to make a mystery detective animation?

"Do not worry."

Seeing that Liu Qingshan seemed to distrust Xiao Guo, Gu Miao quickly explained: "Although my apprentice has never made animations with similar themes, I still have you as the original author!"

"I?"

"Yes, that's you."

Gu Miao nodded: "As for the animation production team, you will personally be the screenwriter and direct the animation adaptation. Are you relieved?"

"That's okay."

Liu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.

What he fears most is that others will randomly modify his comics, causing "Detective Conan" to be changed into a four-dimensional image.

Now he can not only join the animation production team, but also serve as the chief screenwriter and personally handle the animation adaptation work, which is very reassuring.

As for who is the director?

As Gu Miao said, isn't he still the original author? With him watching from the side, I believe there won't be any big problems.

After convincing the original author and inviting him to join the animation production team, Gu Miao specifically left Guo Hongwei with a few words of caution.

The general meaning is very simple.

His apprentice Guo Hongwei was on vacation, and he must have been confused when he was suddenly called over to take over a so-called "mystery detective" animation adaptation project.

Gu Miao must give him a few words of advice.

"Detective Conan" is an extremely influential and well-known anime work.

He hoped that Guo Hongwei would cheer up and take this animation adaptation seriously. If this battle goes well, then Xiao Guo will be able to break through and have a place in the entire animation circle.

"Master, what about you?"

Xiao Guo rubbed the back of his head, not quite understanding his master's thoughts.

Since the project "Detective Conan" is so important and has been called a "potential SS-level animation project", why doesn't the master film it himself?

"Me? Didn't I tell you everything?"

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "I have other projects, and I won't be able to get away from them for a while, so I have to ask you to take care of them."

"What other projects are there?"

Guo Hongwei muttered: "Isn't "Those Things That Rabbit That Year" already aired? Are you planning to shoot the second season so soon? Or are you planning to make another original animation?"

"hehe!"

Gu Miao curled her lips and said: "Others kept mocking me. I didn't have time to respond before, so forget it. Now that I have time, why don't I take revenge?"

"Taunting? You mean..."

Guo Hongwei seemed to have thought of something, and laughed dumbly and said: "Master, what do you care about with those self-media editors?"

"No! This tone must come out!"

"Isn't it just a different world travel adventure theme, bah! Do you really think that I don't dare to take pictures and can't take pictures?" Gu Miao said with a twisted expression.

Who do you look down on?
