During Those Years When I Was A Marvel Superhero Chapter 15: New publications at risk


Li Jie opened the folder provided by Aiwei, and the sketches in it seemed not as simple as the draft Aiwei said. 『Ω

It looks like Ivy has put a lot of effort into this new publication she submitted. Whether it is a storyboard or a script, and a close-up of characters, it takes a lot of effort.

Because it is a sketch for Li Jie, the boss, Ivy ’s album is not the one directly facing the reader.

In the album, Ivy annotated each big mirror in the lower left corner, indicating his intentions, although Li Jie does not need these annotations to understand Ivy ’s meaning.

But this is a process, so Ivy still has to do it.

And also made many annotations on the entire album, explaining the idea of ​​the entire comic and the foreshadowing narrative structure.

Because what Ivy is doing now is equivalent to opening a new comic publication, and it seems that he is still preparing to write his own.

This is not as simple as being a painter. It's been a few years since some manga artists of Nippon Manga left the manuscript. They only came out to draw a few words when they had no money to play Mahjong.

As an American comic on the industrial assembly line, there has never been a delay, because there are several artists and screenwriters under each publication.

For the Spider-Man personal comics publication that Ivey is currently responsible for, this publication is composed of three painters and a screenwriter, and there is also a lead author.

Meiman ’s paintings are basically full-color, and in many cases, the direction of the picture is like the direction of oil painting. This kind of painting requires more control of color and light and shadow.

Compared to Riman, the style that relies more on lines is completely two concepts. In addition to Meiman, there are a lot of dialogue lines, and there may be only a few hundred words in the words of Japanese comics. Or a thousand-word line is different.

Meiman has thousands of words in random words, and sometimes even tens of thousands of words. And the lines in American comics are the key to driving the plot. It takes a lot of time for the screenwriter and the artist to arrange and design the lines.

The workload of Meiman is not a cartoonist alone.

Especially when it is sold as a weekly magazine. However, because of the large number of painters, there is a relatively stable continuity in order to maintain the style of the publication.

Therefore, each group will have a lead writer who is responsible for finalizing the publication and confirming the style, and finally handing it to the company ’s editor in chief.

The editor-in-chief conducts the final review and confirms that there are no problems with the comics, and then passes them to the printing department for printing and sales.

Ivy has now submitted a brand new theme, designed entirely by her. This is obvious if this publication, Li Jie, passes and establishes a project.

Then the lead author of this new independent publication must be Ivy.

Li Jie does not object to Aiwei being the lead author. This girl's skills prove her ability in this respect.

The only thing that makes Li Jie hesitant is the new artwork submitted by Ai Wei. The new album theme is somewhat sensitive, especially in this period.

"Why do you want to draw mutant's stories?" Li Jie asked after reading all the thirty or so pages of comics.

This is the new story provided by Ivy, which focuses on the main characters of the mutants and is about the heroes of the mutants.

"Because mutants also have heroes, don't they?" Ivey replied immediately, she was ready to answer this question.

"We have also seen through the news and online media during this time that some mutants did get out of control and caused some damage, but there were also many mutants who stood up to prevent the loss caused by the mutants out of control."

Ivy is talking about what the professor and his students have done since this time. After listening to Li Jie's opinion, the professor still organized a team of mutants from the school's quite powerful personnel.

At present, the name of the X-Men has not yet been called out, but they did a lot of things during this time.

Some of the mutants lost control and caused chain damage, and even caused huge disasters.

There are a lot of sudden events here, which can't be expected to be Night's Watch or SHIELD staring at mutants all day long.

And the professor seems to have put a lot of effort in this area, at least every time when the mutant has an accident, he can always send his students in the first place.

Being a firefighter on various occasions and saving many ordinary people's lives.

I have to say that it ’s good to do so, at least those who were rescued by them alleviated mutant's ’s disgust, and their family members would not even hate the mutants.

At least to do so, as long as the losses of those out-of-control events are within the controllable range, then this matter is quite positive.

"So I think we can change the mutant's hero story into a comic and launch a brand new story about mutant's!" Ivy looks very positive about this matter.

Li Jie didn't see that the little girl was an ambitious person.

"I am not very opposed to this matter, but the publication of mutant's publications is risky. You have to know that the evaluation of mutant's on the market is not very good." Li Jie said that is a fact.

Especially after Stark ’s new energy plant was attacked, there was an argument that mutants hindered the progress of human society.

Anyway, it ’s almost universal to fan the flames and spread the gossip.

"So we only have to do this, aren't we drawing cartoons of these heroes just to spread their beliefs?" Ivy's tone was a little agitated.

"Does Jason remember the original words you wrote on the first issue? Is n’t the Night Watcher's spirit the heroes who want to spread it to us."

"Variants who did bad things should be punished, but mutants who did good things should also be praised. Only in this way can everyone understand that the mutants are the same as normal people."

"There are good and evil between any population, and it is not possible to discriminate the entire population because of certain cases."

Li Jie feels that the little girl ’s spirit is a little too excited and excited, as if she is particularly interested in mutant's.

Although I was puzzled by Ivy and even made some guesses, Li Jie did not resort to my own guesses. After all, some people do n’t want to ask others if they do n’t want to say. And Ivy looks like a harmless girl.

"I'm sorry I was just a little bit excited." Ivy also felt that his tone was a little too excited.

"It doesn't matter, everyone who is ambitious and wants to put their great ideals into reality will be like this ~ IndoMTL.com ~ I am no exception." Li Jie shook his head and understood that Ivy's idea.

"So can this publication be passed?" Ivy asked with some anxiety.

"I need to talk to investors about specific matters." Although Li Jie is the legal person of this company and the boss. "And we also need to obtain the copyright authorization of these mutated vigilante."

But to know the source of funds for this company, one is the five million dollars invested in the night watch team, and the other is the five million dollars invested by Harry personally.

Although everyone uses the money to entrust Li Jie to take charge and trust him very much.

But it is precisely because of this trust that Li Jie has become more cautious. Undoubtedly, the publication of the mutant magazine will definitely cause controversy in the society.

It is not yet known how much impact it will have on the company. Whether or not it should be done must be approved by everyone.

And if you really want to draw mutant's stories, you have to get the consent of Charles Xavier and his students. (To be continued.)
