PS: I’m late tonight, and the number of words is not enough, sorry!
"Dragon Ball", "One Piece", "Bleach", "Prince of Tennis", "Attack on Titan", "Detective Conan", "Death Note"... Wang Shang selected many Japanese comics to pave the way for his future comic company.
In addition to Japanese comics, Wang Shang also chose some famous animations from China in the past...
For example... while complaining, I praised the beautiful "Xi Yangyang and Big Big Wolf", as well as the historical "Qin Shi Mingyue", and the fake "Q version of the Three Kingdoms"... Well, the domestic comics in the former time and space are really a bit poor,
This must be admitted.
With so many comics out there, which comic should I choose? Wang Shang was already thinking about it some time ago.
There must not be too many comics at the beginning, as this will affect the speed of creation, and at the same time, it must be a classic to be memorable. Moreover, there needs to be one that can be adapted into a movie, so as to prove that this move is correct and wise, otherwise the crows outside will
He will be arrogant and proud again.
Wang Shang went straight to the conference room and started the first meeting since the establishment of the comic company.
Wang Shang stood on the podium, looked at the 50 cartoonists below, and said straight to the point: "I won't talk about the management of the company. There are professional managers to manage it, and you don't have to worry about it.
."
"I don't need you to think of new comics. I will give you my ideas and settings, and then you will work hard on these comics to create works that I am satisfied with."
When the 50 cartoonists below heard Wang Shang's words, they curled their lips a little, but most of them were obeyed or excited, because most of the people who entered this company were admirers of Wang Shang. They knew everything Wang Shang said.
Choose to obey. And... Wang Shang is the boss.
As for the creativity and setting mentioned by Wang Shang, they are obviously very much looking forward to it!!
"The content of today's meeting is classified as confidential until the comic is officially released. I have three tasks for everyone, that is, three comics."
Wang Shang inserted the USB disk into the computer that was already on, connected it to the projector, and opened one of the files.
"The first comic: "Dragon Ball"."
"On a distant planet, there is a race of Saiyans known as the fighting race. They are naturally war-loving and have a violent temper. They will maintain their young bodies from youth to middle age, and they can transform at certain stages.
From level one to level four, your combat effectiveness will be greatly improved every time."
"And one of the Saiyan children was exiled to the universe because he showed insufficient fighting ability when he was born, and finally came to Earth, where he was adopted by an old man..."
Wang Shang briefly set the specific background, and then put the comic characters on the projector, including Sun Wukong, Vegeta, and Bulma... The cartoon images of the characters were displayed for everyone to watch, and he introduced them one by one.
.
""Dragon Ball" has a total of 10 chapters, namely the Search Chapter, the Martial Arts Tournament Chapter, the Search Chapter 2, the Martial Arts Tournament Chapter 2, the Great Demon King Arc, the Martial Arts Tournament Chapter 3, the Saiyans Chapter, the Namek Chapter, and the Cyborg Chapter.
The Majin Buu chapter. I have already written the general plot, you just need to create comics according to the characters, painting style, and plot I gave you."
"The second part, "Xi Yangyang and Big Big Wolf," tells the story of the Sheep and Sheep tribe on the Qingqing Grassland, which has become very prosperous. There is already a small town within the Sheep and Sheep tribe. There are schools, supermarkets, and beauty salons, all of which are related to the Sheep and Goat tribe.
The sheep all live happily. But in the forest on the other side, there live two wolves, the gray wolf and his wife, the red wolf."
"The other one is "Death Note"..."
The reason why I chose "Death Note" is that it can be used in movies and TV series.
Wang Shang has already drawn the beginnings of the three comics and given various specific settings. "Dragon Ball" also gave a specific plot description, and "Death Note" gave a general plot. And "Pleasant Goat"
"With Big Big Wolf" is much more relaxed, without any plot, and only requires the style to be more joyful.
Two hours later...
The meeting was finally over, and the cartoonists all looked at Wang Shang excitedly, with admiration in their eyes.
Wang Shang gave the USB disk of information to Zhang Jing, the person in charge of the comic company. He encouraged all the cartoonists and then left.
Just after returning to the office, Michael Bay, with messy hair and sparkling energy, came up to him: "The preliminary editing of "Transformers 2" has been completed. Do you want to take a look? Give some comments?"
He was so excited that he almost dragged Wang Shang away. Wang Shang, who originally wanted to go back to Zhangjiajie immediately, had no choice but to postpone his flight until the evening.
After 170 minutes, I finally finished watching "Transformers 2". Michael Bay did not disappoint Wang Shang. The film was well shot, edited and dubbed. It is not bad at all compared to "Transformers 1".
This movie is a complete popcorn feast, with luxury cars vying for glory, and the battle rhythm is extremely tight. Moreover, he also made some optimizations in the scenes, and created a more vigorous battle scene in the battle in Egypt than the battlefield in the Magic City.
As for the literary and artistic style, the connotation...well, Michael Bay is even worse than Wang Shang, so the connotation is nothing. Anyway, gangsters are still selling popcorn.
However, Wang Shang was also alert: "We need to add a director for the third part and make some adjustments to avoid making the whole series just popcorn, which will definitely get scolded by the gangsters."
Thinking of this, Wang Shang said to Michael Bay: "You know the Rotten Tomatoes reviews in the North American market. If the third film is still so popcorn, it will definitely be called shit by those bad-mouthed film critics. If you want to film
For the third part, please come up with a different script."
Michael Bay, who was originally excited because of the success of the movie, suddenly felt miserable. He is a famous commercial director who is blind when it comes to literature and art. But Wang Shang is right. If he keeps popping like this, he will definitely encounter the situation in North America.
They may give you a 10% or even 0% freshness rating to humiliate you.
After thinking about it, Michael Bay said: "I happen to have a friend who has such experience. If possible, I would like to recruit him as an assistant director."
"That's no problem, just make your decision." Wang Shang readily agreed, but at the same time he was also thinking that "Transformers 4" must be postponed for four to five years to cool down. In fact, many series of movies are being filmed while they are still being filmed.
He has become a popcorn expert. Thinking of this, Wang Shang suddenly thought of the "Harry Potter" series and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series from the past time and space. These two series of movies have done better in this regard. Maybe there is something they can learn from.
.
Michael Bay found that Wang Shang was distracted and tugged on his clothes: "Boss, does the company have a release plan? When will "Transformers" be released? Will it be released globally or gradually in different regions?"
Wang Shang pondered for a moment, quickly filtered the film schedule for the next two months, and finally said: ""Harry Potter" will be released before Christmas, while "Lord of the Rings" is scheduled for after Christmas, and "Wall-E" will also be released during the period.
Among the movies that I think are relatively good, "Transformers" will definitely suffer in terms of scheduling in 3D theaters, so I don't think it's appropriate at this time, um, after New Year's Day..."
Michael Bay felt very much in agreement with this idea and nodded in agreement.

Now, as the leadership team of Tianwang Film and Television has matured, there are fewer and fewer things that need to be handled by Wang Shang. Wang Shang has basically become a boss who doesn't care about anything. So Wang Shang went straight to his home without handling other company matters.
After the meal, he took Liu Xi, his secretary Jiang Xiaowen and two bodyguards directly to the plane and flew to Shonan.
Wang Shang booked a first-class cabin, so it was quieter and more comfortable. In addition, the smiles of the flight attendants here were sweeter than those in economy class, so Wang Shang felt that the 'trip' was quite pleasant.
It was already night time. After signing autographs for a few shy flight attendants, Wang Shang found that Liu Xi had fallen asleep inside, with her hair disheveled covering her face, her lips pursed in a smile, perhaps doing something.
Sweet dream. But Wang Shang himself drank tea before getting on the plane, and now he is a little excited and not sleepy at all.
After smoothing her hair and covering her with a blanket, Wang Shang picked up the newspaper next to her.
On the home page is an international business news: "Eleven countries including Australia took the lead in submitting exhibition projects for the 2012 World Expo."
Wang Shang took a look out of boredom.
“The 2012 World Expo will be held at the Louisiana World Expo Center in New Orleans, USA, with the theme of ‘Leisure in the Age of Technology’.”
The newspaper introduced in detail some of the highlight projects of this World Expo, such as 3D TVs, home 3D cameras, tablet computers, 3D printers, smart glasses, home security systems, watch computers, autonomous driving systems...
“Leisure in the age of technology?”
Wang Shang felt a bolt of lightning explode in his head.
"IMAX~~"
Wang Shang quickly looked down, and finally focused on a date: "Exhibition time: May 1 to October 31, 2012."
"Maybe I can do this..." Wang Shang couldn't help but get excited!
