Those Years when Marvel was a Superhero

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

In the picture album, Ivy annotated each big mirror in the lower left corner, indicating his intentions, although Li Jie did 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 concept 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.

In the case of the Spider-Man personal comics publication that Ivey is currently in charge of, this publication is composed of three painters and a screenwriter, and there is also a lead author on it.

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

Compared with the Japanese style, which relies more on the line style, it is completely two concepts. In addition to the beautiful dialogue, there are a lot of dialogue lines, and there may be only a few hundred words or a thousand in the words of Japanese comics. The lines of the words are different.

The words in Meiman are as many as 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.

Mei Man's workload is not at all capable of being supported by a cartoonist himself.

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, 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 publication and sale.

Ivy has now submitted a brand new theme, designed entirely by her. This is obvious if this journal Li Jie passed and established the project.

Then the lead author of this brand-new independent journal must be Ivy.

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

The only thing that made Li Jie hesitant was the new artwork submitted by Ai Wei. The subject matter of the new album was a little sensitive, especially in this period.

"Why do you want to draw the story of the mutants?" Li Jie asked after reading all the thirty or so pages of comics.

This is the new story provided by Avi, which is based on the main line of mutants, about the mutant heroes.

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

"During this time we also saw through the news and online media that some mutants did get out of control and caused some damage, but there were also many mutants who came forward to prevent the loss caused by the loss of control of the mutants."

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, but they did a lot of things during this time.

Some mutants lost control and caused cascading damage, and even caused huge disasters.

There are a lot of sudden incidents here, and this cannot be expected from the Night Watch Squad or SHIELD staring at the mutants all day long.

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

Acted as a firefighter on various occasions, and also saved the lives of many ordinary people.

I have to say that it is still good to do this. At least those rescued by them all have less distaste for the mutants, and their family members will not even hate the mutants.

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

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

Li Jie did not see that the little girl was still an ambitious person.

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

Especially after the attack on Stark ’s new energy plant, there was a kind of argument that the mutants hindered the progress of human society.

Anyway, inflaming the flames and spreading gossip are almost universal.

"That's why we have to do this. Aren't we drawing cartoons of these heroes just to spread their convictions?" Ivey's tone was agitated.

"Does Jason remember the original words you wrote on the first issue? Is n’t the spirit of the night watchman what those heroes want to spread 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 mutants are just like 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 felt that the little girl's spirit was a little too excited and excited, as if she was particularly interested in the mutants.

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

"I'm sorry I was just a little bit excited." Ivy also felt 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 ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ I am no exception." Li Jie shook his head and understood that Ivy's idea.

"So this publication can pass?" Ivy asked a little uneasy.

"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 variants."

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 the use of the money was entrusted to Li Jie to take charge, he trusted him very much.

But it is precisely because of this trust that Li Jie has become more cautious. There is no doubt that the publication of the mutant magazine will definitely cause social controversy.

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

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