City: Become a principal from junior college!

Chapter 222 The college is really awesome!

"Zuo Xue, why don't you go to the third cafeteria to eat a fitness meal today? The school cafeteria is so delicious. I weigh more than [-], so I need to lose weight!"

"Okay!"

Hearing this, Zuo Xue smiled softly, packed up the drawing board and notebooks on the table, and walked towards the cafeteria chatting and laughing with her roommates.

In her freshman year, Zuo Xue was hesitant and fragile.

The whole person is like a tight long bow, quite taciturn.

But now it’s my sophomore year.

Zuo Xue has completely changed.

He regained his lively and cheerful personality.

The impact of the economy on a person is undoubtedly huge.

During her freshman year, Zuo Xue's mother was seriously ill and the family could not make ends meet.

Even tuition is a problem, and the natural state is not good.

But it's different now.

As time goes by, Star Academy's manuscript-requesting mini-program has become more and more recognized by the manuscript-requesting circle.

More and more people are requesting manuscripts.

However, Xingchen students can only receive up to three paintings per week.

Some students are still lazy every week. Sometimes they feel they have earned enough and simply stop taking the job.

This results in supply exceeding demand and causing prices to rise.

Now the price of Zuo Xue's painting has risen to 500 yuan.

Even excluding the college's share.

The net amount is more than one thousand.

Zuo Xue was naturally not lazy. She painted three paintings a week, four weeks a month, and never missed a beat.

There was no rest even throughout the summer vacation.

His monthly income is at least [-] yuan, which is already higher than his father's.

Zuo Xue also participated in the production of the championship skin this year.

After being officially confirmed by Riot Games.

Zuo Xue received a full fifteen thousand.

This is even more of an unexpected surprise.

Today, Zuo Xue's mother has been discharged from the hospital to recuperate.

My father also works peacefully.

The family is back on track.

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

If the university had not chosen to study comics at Star College, the college would have launched a mini program for them.

Then I probably couldn't hold on any longer and chose to drop out.

As for the mother, if not for the principal secretly taking out a large amount of money.

Most of his own house has been sold long ago.

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

This made Zuo Xue extremely grateful to her principal.

As for the 20 yuan, Zuo Xue kept it in mind.

The reason why she works so hard.

I just want to save enough money to return it to the principal before I graduate, and express my gratitude to the principal in person.

……

The price of college fitness meals is not expensive.

A piece of cod, a vegetable salad, an egg custard, and a portion of whole grain rice only cost 12 yuan.

The ingredients are fresh and taste great.

It won't make diners feel bored at all.

If you put this outside, you are lucky if you can eat it for 30 yuan.

Zuo Xue and others chatted while eating.

“The skins we designed are so beautiful, I heard that even Honor of Kings wants to cooperate with our academy to design skins!”

"Yes, I heard about it too. Why don't you think the academy agrees? If it really works, then when I get scolded by those elementary school students for playing games, I can proudly tell them that the skins you play are all It was designed by my sister, so don’t use the skin I designed if you think I’m too good for you.”

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

"I've heard about it too. I'm very curious. What arrangement do you think it will be? Could it be that we will make animations?"

"That's good. I only like anime because I like the anime Harmono. It would be great if I could also make an animation of the level of Harmono!"

"I prefer tear-jerkers, like "Unknown Flower Names". If I become a cartoonist in the future, all readers will cry for me..."

"Good guy, you are keeping happiness for yourself and sadness for readers, right?"

The girls in Zuo Xue finished their meal amidst laughter and laughter, all full of longing for the future.

If you are an animation major from other colleges, you probably don’t have this confidence.

They will get to know themselves while gradually understanding the industry.

I just hope that I can find a good job after graduation.

But Zuo Xue and others are different.

They are students from Star Academy.

Star Academy makes them full of confidence in the future.

But what Zuo Xue and others didn't expect was that the college arrangements they were still discussing at noon would be announced in the afternoon.

The arrangement of the academy did not surprise everyone.

As expected, we want them to experience their real jobs and start making comics and animations.

But what came as a surprise to all the students.

The academy did not give them free rein to create.

Instead, I purchased the copyrights of several novels and asked them to adapt them...

This really surprised the students, but at the same time they felt that this was the style of their own college.

Whether it is comics or animation, they are actually very competitive industries.

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

But comic book adaptations are different.

Because the original work itself is hugely popular, the adaptation will naturally gain a lot of attention.

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

If the quality is good, 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 boom, copyright prices are not cheap.

The college took the initiative to buy the copyright.

The students were all moved.

The college has been really good to them.

And when the teacher on the stage told them the names of the three works.

There were even shouts of exclamation at the scene.

Most students have never heard of the book "Blasphemy", but they don't have much reaction to it.

But when the words "Cover the Sky" came out of the teacher's mouth, all the boys in the room couldn't help but stand up.

"Fuck me, Emperor Ye Tian?"

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

"The principal is awesome..."

"I want to draw this, I want to design the images of Emperor Ye Tian and Emperor Wu Shi..."

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

The boys had forgotten the classroom rules at this moment and couldn't help but make a noise.

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

And when the third book to be adapted was announced by the teacher.

There was another round of cheers.

This time there are both men and women.

The number is no less than the students who cheered for Zhetian before.

After all, the Dragon Clan is the leader in the world of youth novels.

In this era of decline of physical books, Dragon Clan can still easily sell over one million copies of its books, with the number of copies increasing rapidly every year.

The reset version has been launched and sold out immediately.

A work like this will naturally have many fans.

As for the first batch of students majoring in animation at Star College, most of them had poor grades.

They were not outstanding when they were in school, so they naturally like and resonate with the protagonist in "Dragon" who seems to have the same problem.

Now I actually have the opportunity to write the adaptation of Dragons.

This makes students who like this book calm down.

While the students were excited, they were also increasingly impressed by the wealth of their own college.

They originally guessed that the copyright purchased by the academy was not a popular novel.

Who would have thought that top-notch novels like Zhatian Long Clan would be published.

How much does this cost?The college is really kind to students like them.

……

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

Today is in the big classroom, where students majoring in animation are gathered for a big class.

All students are here.

The teacher began to assign tasks: "These three books will be adapted into comics and animations simultaneously..."

"Everyone may not understand this book of blasphemy."

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

"As for Zhetian and the Dragon Clan, it doesn't matter if you have seen them or not."

"In this week, you can all find these three books and read them."

“Which one you like, participate in the production of that one.”

"The comics and animation will be divided into six groups in total."

"Each group will be guided by a teacher."

“The deadline for registration 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 nodded.

Some book fans have already confirmed their choice and don’t need to read any more.

But there are also some students who don’t usually read online novels and don’t understand these three.

So I plan to search online next time to see what the novel is about.

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

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

Zuo Xue likes the book Dragon Clan very much.

Although the fifth part of Dragons is so bad, it looks like it hired a hotshot.

But there's no denying that the first few installments are very exciting.

Being able to produce dragon comics is definitely a good thing worth looking forward to for Zuo Xue.

But the problem is...

There are still classes to attend during my sophomore year.

If you still want to participate in comic production in your spare time.

Then I won’t have time to accept manuscript requests.

Although the economic crisis at home has been resolved.

But my mother's illness has not yet been cured and she has to rest.

If you lose this source of income.

That will significantly reduce your family's financial situation.

Therefore, Zuo Xue looked forward to but hesitant.

The same is true for many classmates.

They want to participate, but are reluctant to give up the high income from contracted manuscripts.

After all, it feels really happy to have money.

Especially as a college student, I have close to [-] disposable funds a month.

The joy in this is even more unimaginable to outsiders.

Apart from anything else, when you book a room with your girlfriend, you don’t need to go to a small hotel with bad soundproofing and not very clean.

Five-star accommodation is affordable.

Looking at the river view and enjoying the happiness is simply addictive for them.

But soon, Zuo Xue and others' worries dissipated.

Because the teacher on the stage then spoke: "The college now has rich cooperation channels at home and abroad."

“As long as the quality of the works produced by everyone is not bad, it will definitely not be difficult to monetize.”

"It's still the same as the previous mini program. Everyone can share [-]% of the income from the online distribution copyright of the work, physical publishing fees, broadcast rights and other income."

"But it's not an even split."

"Each group will reasonably distribute income based on their contribution."

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

"..."

Many of the teachers in the animation major at Star Academy are animation industry giants from other worlds.

Thorough understanding of the entire industry.

Reasonable distribution of income can naturally be done easily.

Hearing this, Zuo Xue and other students, who were still hesitating at first, their eyes lit up.

The original hesitation naturally disappeared.

without him...

They already like comics and animation, so it’s great to be able to participate in the production.

As for the question of money.

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

The original work is already quite popular.

They are confident that their adaptation will not be too bad.

Coupled with the great influence of our own college, we can contact many business channels for monetization.

In this case, they all feel that they can make a lot of money even though they are commissioned to do the work.

But for Hua who makes animation, they will have the opportunity to earn more.

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

As a result, the students present put aside their hesitation and cheered excitedly.

The teacher waved his hand to signal the students to calm down, and then continued: "Students who are interested, please go and watch the original work as soon as possible."

"After confirming the grouping, you must read the original work completely, or even read it several times to understand more details..."

"Because no matter what the division of labor is within the group, understanding the original work is the most basic requirement."

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

"I don't want the works you create by then to be the same as those comic adaptations on the Internet today. Except for the same name, everything else has nothing to do with the original work."

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

"Although you are still students and it is just your first time making a work, I hope you can take it seriously!"

The teacher's final warning made everyone nod.

Zuo Xue was even more convinced.

The most basic thing is that the adapted work should respect the original work.

Of course, this respect is not copying.

After all, novels and comics have different expression methods, so the areas that should be optimized must also be optimized.

Especially many online novels are very watery. After defeating one enemy, you will defeat the next one, and the pace is slow.

That requires streamlining.

This will make the work better.

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

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

The original work of Douluo Dalu has received mixed praise and praise.

After all, the protagonist's image is not well portrayed.

For example, in a certain plot, the protagonist's team formed a team to fight monsters, encountered a crisis, and the heroine died.

In the original work, the male protagonist rushed out without hesitation, absorbing the monster's soul ring first, and then grieved the death of the female protagonist.

The male protagonist becomes extremely sad and angry after grabbing the trophies, which is a completely cool image.

Make readers unhappy.

But in the comics, this process undergoes reasonable changes.

By optimizing the plot.

It makes readers feel that the male protagonist absorbs the soul ring to avenge the female protagonist.

In short, the book Douluo has become popular all over the Internet, and the comic adaptation is indispensable.

It’s enough to see the importance of optimization!
……

In the eyes of the outside world, adaptations basically destroy the original work.

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

That would not ruin the original work.

On the contrary, it can be better than the previous one and bring a better feeling to the readers of the original work.

Douluo is an example.

The Xingchen students present were obviously not interested in doing anything rubbish.

Since we are going to adapt, we must do our best.

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

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