Urban: Becoming a principal from a junior college!

"Zuo Xue, let's go to the third canteen for a fitness meal today? The school canteen is so delicious. I weigh more than 100 pounds. I have to lose weight!"

"Okay!"

Hearing this, Zuo Xue smiled lightly, picked up the drawing board and notebook on the table, and walked towards the canteen with her roommates, talking and laughing.

Zuo Xue was confused and fragile when she was a freshman.

She was like a tight longbow, quite taciturn.

But now she is a sophomore.

Zuo Xue has completely changed.

She has regained her lively and cheerful personality.

The impact of economy on a person is undoubtedly huge.

When she was a freshman, Zuo Xue's mother was seriously ill and the family could not make ends meet.

Even tuition fees became a problem, so naturally she was not in good condition.

But now it is different.

Xingchen Academy's mini program for commissioning works has been increasingly recognized by the commissioning circle over time.

More and more people are commissioning works.

But Xingchen students can only accept three paintings per week at most.

Some students would slack off every week, and sometimes they would just stop accepting the work because they felt they had earned enough.

This led to a shortage of supply and a rise in prices.

Now the price of a painting by Zuo Xue has risen to 1,500 RMB.

Even if the share of the college is deducted.

The net amount is more than 1,000 RMB.

Zuo Xue would not slack off, and she would paint three paintings a week and four weeks a month, without missing a single one.

She even did not rest during the entire summer vacation.

The monthly income is at least 12,000 RMB, which is higher than her father's.

This year, Zuo Xue also participated in the production of the champion skin.

After it was officially confirmed by Riot.

Zuo Xue received a full 15,000 RMB.

This was an unexpected surprise.

Now, Zuo Xue's mother has been discharged from the hospital for recuperation.

Her father can also work with peace of mind.

The family is back on track.

And all of this was undoubtedly brought to her by the college and the principal.

If she had not chosen to study comics at Xingchen College in college, and the college had not launched a small program for them,

then she would have been unable to hold on and would have chosen to drop out.

As for her mother, if the principal had not secretly taken out a large sum of money.

The house was probably sold long ago.

So it can be said that it was the principal who saved Zuo Xue's home.

This made Zuo Xue feel extremely grateful to her principal.

As for the 200,000 yuan, Zuo Xue remembered it in her heart.

The reason why she worked so hard.

She wanted to save enough money to pay back the principal before graduation and express her gratitude to the principal in person.

…

The price of the college fitness meal is not expensive.

A piece of cod, a vegetable salad, an egg custard, and a whole grain rice cost only twelve yuan.

The ingredients are fresh and the taste is excellent.

It will not make the diners feel bored at all.

If this is placed outside, you are lucky to be able to eat it for thirty yuan.

Zuo Xue and others chatted while eating.

"The skins we designed are so beautiful. I heard that even King of Glory wants to cooperate with our college to design skins!"

"Yes, I heard that too. Why don't you think the college agrees? If it really works, then when I'm scolded by those elementary school students for playing games, I can proudly tell them that the skins you play are all designed by my sister. If you think I'm bad, don't use the skins I designed."

"It seems that the college has other arrangements for us sophomores in the future."

"I heard that too. I'm so curious. What do you think the arrangements will be? Will they ask us to make anime?"

"That's good too. I just like anime because I like the animation "Oregairu". It would be great if I could make an animation of the level of "Oregairu"!"

"I prefer tear-jerking ones, like "Anohana". If I become a cartoonist in the future, all readers will cry..."

"Good guy, you also keep happiness for yourself and sadness for readers, right?"

Zuo Xue and several other girls finished their meal in laughter, full of longing for the future.

If it were animation students from other colleges, they would definitely not have this confidence.

They will gradually understand the industry and recognize themselves.

They only hope to find a good job after graduation.

But Zuo Xue and others are different.

They are students of Xingchen College.

Xingchen College makes them full of confidence in the future.

But what Zuo Xue and others did not expect was that the college arrangements they were still discussing at noon were announced in the afternoon.

The college's arrangements did not surprise everyone.

It really wanted them to experience their real job and start making comics and animations.

But what surprised all the students was that.

The college did not let them create freely.

Instead, they bought the copyrights of several novels and let them adapt them...

This really surprised the students, and they felt that this was the style of their own college.

Whether it is comics or animation, it is actually a very competitive industry.

It is still difficult for a newcomer's work to get attention. Unless the quality is very good, it depends on luck.

But comic adaptations are different.

Because the original work itself has a huge popularity, the adapted work can inherently get a lot of attention.

As long as the quality is decent, you can get good results.

If the quality is very good, then becoming famous overnight is not a dream.

It can be said that adapted works are more likely to become popular than original works.

But if you want to adapt a work, you have to buy the copyright.

In this era of IP fever, the price of copyright is not cheap.

The college took the initiative to buy the copyright.

The students were deeply moved.

The college was really good to them.

When the teacher on the stage told them the names of the three works.

There were exclamations at the scene.

Most students had never heard of the book "Profanation", so they didn't react much.

But when the two words "Heavenly Shroud" came out of the teacher's mouth, all the boys in the audience couldn't help but stand up.

"Fuck, Ye Tiandi?"

"This is my enlightenment book for online novels. When I read the book, I always imagined the majestic scenes in it. Now I have the opportunity to comic this book?"

"The principal is awesome..."

"I want to draw this, I want to design the image of Ye Tiandi and Wu Shi Dadi..."

"I want to draw a big black dog..."

The boys forgot the classroom discipline at this moment and couldn't help but make noise.

The main reason is that the popularity of Heavenly Shroud is really high, and many students are fans of the book.

When the third book to be adapted was announced by the teacher.

There was another round of cheers at the scene.

This time, there are both men and women.

The number is no less than that of students who cheered for "Zhetian" before.

After all, Dragon Clan is the leader of the youth novel industry.

In this era of the decline of physical books, Dragon Clan can still easily sell more than one million copies, and it is reprinted every year.

The reprint has been launched and sold out directly.

Such a work will naturally have many fans.

And the first batch of students majoring in animation at Xingchen Academy are basically not very good in grades.

They were not dazzling in school, so they naturally liked the protagonists in "Dragon Clan" who seemed to be in the same boat and resonated with them.

Now they have the opportunity to write the adaptation of "Dragon Clan".

How can students who like this book remain calm?

While the students are excited, they are also more and more impressed by the wealth of their own academy.

They originally guessed that the copyright purchased by the academy should not be a very popular novel.

Who would have thought that a top-tier novel like "Zhetian Dragon Clan" would come out.

How much money does this cost?

The academy is really willing to spend too much on these students.

...

On the stage, the teacher looked at the students' reactions and smiled gently.

Today, in the classroom, students majoring in animation are called to attend a class.

All students are here.

The teacher starts to assign tasks: "These three books will be adapted into comics and animations at the same time..."

"You may not know about the book Blasphemy."

"This book is classified as a Western fantasy work, and the content style is not suitable for the domestic market, so it will be aimed at the overseas market."

"As for the Heaven-shaking and Dragon Clan, it doesn't matter if you have read them or not."

"You can find these three books and read them this week."

"Which one you like, you can participate in the production of that one."

"Comics and animations will be divided into six groups in total."

"Each group will have a teacher to guide."

"The registration deadline is today next week."

"You only need to confirm the group you want to participate in, send an email to the corresponding instructor, and apply to join the group."

"..."

The teacher introduced, and the students all nodded.

Some book fans have already confirmed their choices and don't need to read them again.

But some students don't usually read online novels and don't know about these three.

So I plan to search online and see the content of the novels next.

However, there were also students who frowned slightly, with hesitation on their faces.

For example, Zuo Xue was looking forward to it, but also a little hesitant.

Zuo Xue liked the book Dragon Clan very much.

Although the fifth part of Dragon Clan was as bad as a hot seller.

But it is undeniable that the previous parts were very exciting.

For Zuo Xue, being able to make Dragon Clan comics was definitely a good thing worth looking forward to.

But the problem was...

I still had to go to class in my sophomore year.

If I had to participate in comic production in my spare time.

Then I would have no time to accept commissioned works.

Although my family's economic crisis was solved.

But my mother's illness had not yet healed, and she had to rest.

If I lost this source of income.

That would greatly reduce my family's financial situation.

So, Zuo Xue was looking forward to it but also hesitant.

Many students were the same.

They wanted to participate, but they were reluctant to give up the high income from commissioned works.

After all, the feeling of having money was really happy.

Especially as a college student, I had nearly 10,000 disposable funds a month.

The happiness in this was even more unimaginable to outsiders.

Apart from other things, you don’t need to go to a small hotel with poor soundproofing and uncleanliness to check in with your girlfriend.

You can afford a five-star hotel.

Looking at the river view and enjoying the happiness are simply addictive.

But soon, the worries of Zuo Xue and others dissipated.

Because the teacher on the stage continued to speak: "The college now has abundant cooperation channels at home and abroad."

"As long as the quality of the works produced is not bad, it is definitely not difficult to realize them."

"It is still the same as the previous mini program. Everyone can share 70% of the income from the online copyright, physical publishing fees, broadcasting rights, etc. of the works."

"But it is not divided equally."

"Each group will reasonably distribute the income according to the contribution."

"The college has professional teachers who will introduce a set of reasonable contribution calculation standards to ensure fairness. If any students feel that it is unfair, they can directly email the principal to complain..."

"..."

Many of the teachers of Xingchen College's animation major are big names in the animation industry in other worlds.

They have a thorough understanding of the entire industry.

The reasonable distribution of income can naturally be easily solved.

Hearing this, Zuo Xue and other students who were still hesitating were all enlightened.

The original hesitation naturally disappeared.

Nothing else...

They already like comics and animation, and now they can participate in the production, which is naturally the best.

As for the issue of money.

They are very confident in their own abilities, and they also trust the level of their classmates.

The original work is already very popular.

They are confident that the works they adapt will not be too bad.

In addition, their own college has a great influence and can contact many commercial channels for monetization.

In this case, they all feel that although they earn a lot from commissioned works.

But if they make animation, they will have the opportunity to earn more.

And you can really enter the animation industry and become one of the practitioners.

So, all the students present threw away their hesitation and cheered excitedly.

The teacher waved his hand, signaling the students to be quiet, and then continued: "Students who are interested, please go to read the original as soon as possible."

"After confirming the group, you must read the original, even read it several times, to understand more details..."

"Because no matter what your division of labor is in the group at that time, understanding the original is the most basic requirement."

"After all, the work you are about to create is an adaptation."

"I don't want the work you create at that time to be the same as those comic adaptations on the Internet now, except for the same name, nothing else has anything to do with the original."

"I don't want any jokes like fighting spirit turning into a horse to appear. For practitioners, this is the most unacceptable mistake and a shame..."

"Although you are still students and this is only the first time to produce a work, I hope you can take it seriously!"

The teacher's final admonition made everyone nod.

Zuo Xue agreed even more.

Adapted works must respect the original, this is the most basic.

Of course, this respect is not copying.

After all, novels and comics have different ways of expression, so the areas that need to be optimized should also be optimized.

Especially many online novels are particularly watery, and the rhythm is slow after defeating one enemy.

Then it needs to be streamlined.

This will make the work better.

When the teacher was in class, he introduced some comic adaptations.

The best and most successful comic adaptation is undoubtedly the book Douluo Continent.

The original work of Douluo Continent has mixed reviews.

After all, the image of the protagonist is not well portrayed.

For example, in a certain plot, the protagonist team teamed up to fight monsters, encountered a crisis, and the heroine died.

In the original work, the male protagonist rushed out without hesitation, first absorbed the monster's soul ring, and then felt sad about the death of the heroine.

After the male protagonist snatched the spoils, he was extremely sad and angry, a complete cold image.

It makes readers unhappy.

But in the comics, this process has undergone reasonable changes.

By optimizing the plot.

Let the readers feel that the male protagonist absorbs the soul ring in order to avenge the heroine.

In short, the book Douluo Dalu can be popular all over the Internet, and the comic adaptation has played an indispensable role.

It is enough to see the importance of optimization!

...

In the eyes of the outside world, adaptation basically ruins the original work.

But if the adapter is careful enough and understands the original work well enough.

It will not ruin the original work.

On the contrary, it can surpass the original and bring a better experience to the original readers.

Douluo Dalu is an example.

And the students of Xingchen present are obviously not interested in doing any garbage.

Since they want to adapt, they must do their best.

They want to prove to the outside world that although the culinary and e-sports majors are dazzling.

But their animation major is definitely not inferior to others...
