City: Become a principal from junior college!

Chapter 164: Real punishment for the anime freshman!
"Principal, the students majoring in comics are very talented. In just over a month, the works they drew are already impressive!"

In front of Ye Chen, the art teacher praised the student's talent with great satisfaction.

Although culinary art students are approaching graduation now.

Ye Chen focused his energy on the e-sports major, planning for their future employment.

But Ye Chen naturally wouldn't ignore the newly opened animation major.

I often come to inspect the circle to see the progress of the students.

And this moment.

In the art teacher's office, Ye Chen looked at the students' paintings on the desk and nodded.

The paintings are pretty good.

He doesn't look like a newbie who has only been learning for a month.

The two-dimensional soul, a special bonus for animation majors, obviously played a lot of roles.

No wonder the teacher of manga is so satisfied.

Ye Chen flipped through them one by one, and soon saw a familiar name.

Luffy……

Luffy's work came into view, and Ye Chen couldn't help but nodded.

The quality of his work is considered outstanding among all the students.

This kid, maybe he really has some talent for painting.

The most important thing is that it seems that I have really changed my mind and started to study hard.

Ye Chen was quite pleased about this.

Although this pseudo-brother-in-law with a rebellious back of his head has been staying in school, which is a bit annoying.

But if the other person really takes the right path, study hard.

As the principal, Ye Chen was also happy.

The art teacher on the side noticed that the principal was paying attention to Luffy's works, and immediately smiled and said: "Principal, Luffy's talent is really good, especially when it comes to drawing characters. He has a good grasp of the proportions and lines of characters... …”

"And he has a good attitude towards learning. I quite like this kid!"

"It seems that he is naturally suitable for majoring in comics, and he didn't change majors so many times in vain."

As he said that, the art teacher dug out the works of Lu Fei's previous classes.

Ye Chen glanced at it a few times. To say it was particularly good, that would not be the case.

After all, I just started studying not long ago.

However, when compared with other students' works, it is obvious that Luffy's talent in drawing characters can be clearly seen.

When drawing anime characters, the proportions of the characters are the most important.

Can't fully refer to reality, because it's not pretty enough.

But it should not be too exaggerated, because once it is exaggerated, it will be distorted and even look different from normal people, making the viewer feel bad or even disgusted.

For example, in r18 comics, although readers like big ones, obviously bigger is not better.

If it is too big, it will be too distorted and lose the flavor.

Being as large as possible within a reasonable proportion is what readers like most.

And Luffy's talent in character proportion is very good.

The characters drawn look very pleasing to the eye.

However, several female characters in Lu Fei's works, without exception, are a bit explosive.

Although Luffy still has a general grasp of the character's demeanor.

But for some reason, Ye Chen could see some eroticism in these drawings of female characters...

Is this a painting that serious students should draw?
The purpose of this kid learning manga is not simple.

Ye Chen shook his head and decided to find time to remind Lu Jing later so that Lu Jing could pay more attention.

Ye Chen doesn't want his students to get involved in the bureau because they engage in unhealthy things.

Ye Chen just saw the news a few days ago. It said that there was a person who was doing special 3D animation abroad and made more than 200 million in three years. He was arrested.

I heard the sentence will be quite long.

This is much more serious than the previous problem of fighting between e-sports majors!
……

Immediately afterwards, Ye Chen majored in animation.

Checked the modeling learning progress of the animation sub-major students.

After the inspection, Ye Chen was quite satisfied.

The students are progressing very well.

A few students were so smart that they actually studied an online game called Sword and Soul and modeled after the female characters in it!

Although in terms of greasiness, it's still a bit worse than the original version.

The proportions of the character modeling are also somewhat unbalanced, which is not very natural.

But it can also be seen that these students already have something.

This made Ye Chen nod his head.

Sure enough, interest is the first driving force for learning.

Young people, who like to do these things, naturally learn more attentively!

Can understand.

But as the principal, I have to have a good meeting with the teachers afterwards.

Let animation major teachers not only teach knowledge, but also popularize legal issues to students!
Otherwise, Ye Chen was afraid that some students would eat the royal food before they graduated.

……

Anyway, after looking around.

Ye Chen has a general impression of the learning situation of animation major students.

not bad!
According to the teaching table formulated by the animation professional teacher.

The first half of the first year is mainly about practicing basic skills such as painting and modeling.

In the second half of the semester, I started to learn further skills such as lens and character movement.

It can be said.

Wait until the end of the students' classes for this school year.

I have the ability to draw manga and animation at the beginning.

Of course, it's just preliminary.

If you want to continue to improve, you have to wait until your sophomore year to learn more about comic animation production techniques.

Ye Chen has always believed that applying what you learn is the best way to teach.

The reason why culinary art students are so good is that they are sought after by the outside world.

Although it is related to the bonus provided by the system.

But the most important thing is that the college provides students with a lot of practical opportunities.

Let them practice and practice what they have learned at any time.

Only by applying what you have learned can you truly transform knowledge into skills and fully master it.

The same is true for e-sports majors.

There is no use in doing things behind closed doors.

By holding competitions, students majoring in e-sports can use all the knowledge they have learned.

Improve naturally fast.

As for the animation major.

Ye Chen also planned to train students in this way.

For comics majors, Ye Chen decided to wait until their sophomore year.

Just buy the rights to a few novels and let students adapt them into comics.

The same is true for the animation sub-major.

Let them animate the adaptation.

The domestic online novel industry is very prosperous, and there are many high-quality content resources.

There are many manga and animation adaptations.

But unfortunately, capital is too eager for quick success and only wants to ride on the popularity of IP.

Obviously the novel has an extremely huge plot.

However, it has been modified in various ways, the plot has been deleted, and the adaptation has changed beyond recognition, and it does not conform to the imagination of book fans at all.

It can be said that capital has completely failed to develop the potential of online novels.

As for Ye Chen, he plans to follow the methods of the three major migrant workers.

Let students produce long-form works.

There are basically no long-form works in China.

The main reason is that the cost is too high and it is difficult to recover the cost.

Because too much manpower needs to be invested in a long story.

In the animation industry, the most important expenditure is labor costs.

But my Star Academy is different.

With a large number of students, there is no need to worry about the cost.

Although the comics and animations produced by students may not be good enough and have flaws at the beginning.

But that's not a big deal.

On the one hand, students will gradually improve their level during the production process.

Let the quality of the work become higher and higher.

On the other hand, fans of the original book are most concerned about the plot.

As long as the plot respects the original enough.

Even if there are some flaws in the picture and rhythm, book fans can accept it.

And one advantage of long-form comics is that they can continue to accumulate fans.

It's getting hotter and hotter.

This is true of the three major migrant workers in the sea of ​​dead fire.

So Ye Chen felt that it shouldn't be difficult for students to adapt their works to make money.

In the end it is a matter of time.

The plot of the novel is huge, and it would be difficult for the students to adapt it in just one year of their sophomore year.

It may take several years.

But that doesn't really matter.

Because Ye Chen originally planned to continue passing on his works.

Every year when old students go for internships, the new sophomore students majoring in animation take over the production...

When will the painting and animation be finished?

Then you can buy the copyrights of other novels and adapt them to practice for the students.

Ye Chen thinks.

You can take the time to select works suitable for students to practice and buy the copyright in advance...

……

in the principal's office.

Ye Chen was scanning the rankings on the novel website to see if there were any novels that he liked.

Since we have to choose novels for adaptation.

Then naturally choose what you are interested in.

But now the novel rankings are becoming more and more boring. They are all old books and books by great writers.

It is far inferior to the rankings of previous years, where a hundred flowers bloom.

You will see surprises every time you scan the list.

While thinking, there was a knock on the door.

The teacher in charge of the e-sports club opened the door and came in and said hello: "Principal!"

Ye Chen closed the web page with a smile on his face: "Has the sponsorship been discussed?"

The teacher nodded immediately, took out a few documents and placed them in front of Ye Chen, and introduced: "Aofeng Gaming Chair is willing to spend 100 million to become our regular season sponsor."

"The other party asked us to add their brand logo on our team uniforms!"

"The same is true for Anta, willing to pay 100 million to become our regular season sponsor."

"We will customize uniforms and shoes for our players."

"It is required that as long as it is a competition, you must wear the clothing shoes they provide, and the logo cannot be blocked..."

"At the same time, Anta also requires the right of first refusal to acquire our club."

"If we sell the club in the future, Anta will have the first right to acquire it at the same price!"

"..."

Hearing this, Ye Chen was happy.

Because the League of Legends league is becoming more and more influential.

Now big capital is actively entering.

They used to be sponsors.

But then I thought it was money anyway, why not pay for it myself?
So a lot of capital directly spent huge sums of money to buy the club and ended up personally.

This is the case for domestic sports brand giant Li Ning.

The club acquired by Li Ning performed well last year and attracted a lot of attention.

Now that Anta is asking for the right of first refusal, it is probably because its rival Li Ning is in the spotlight, so it plans to get involved in the e-sports field.

Now that Anta is sponsoring the Star Club, it should just plan to try the water first and learn about the e-sports industry.

Ye Chen was not dissatisfied with this.

We won't sell clubs at all.

Therefore, it is meaningless whether to agree or not to the right of preemption.

Ye Chen is more concerned about another thing: "Why are they all sponsors of the regular season?"

Anta and Aofeng are only willing to sponsor the regular season.

The subsequent playoffs and global finals were completely ignored.

The teacher smiled bitterly: "It's because he doesn't think highly of us! He's afraid that we won't make it to the playoffs. Let alone the global finals."

Hearing this, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled.

There are a total of seventeen teams in the country.

After the regular season, only the top eight can enter the playoffs.

Therefore, Anta and Aofeng should not be optimistic that the Star Team can enter the playoffs.

But now Team Star has some enthusiasm.

These sponsors want popularity, but are afraid of losing money.

That’s why we only sponsor the regular season.

Ye Chen didn't care about this.

It might as well be that they only sponsor the regular season.

In this way, when my team entered the playoffs, the team did not have any endorsements.

Sponsors of eliminated teams will inevitably choose their own teams for sponsorship for the sake of brand exposure.

And his own team has already entered the playoffs by then, and its strength has been proved again.

Sponsorship fees can actually get you more.

Therefore, the cautious approach of sponsors to only sponsor the regular season is actually beneficial to themselves.

"Okay... but are they the only ones interested in sponsoring?"

The teacher shook his head, and immediately said: "There are two more..."

"But these two are of the same type!"

"We can only choose one."

"One is Logitech. The offer is the same as that of Aofeng and Anta. They both sponsor 100 million in the regular season."

"The other one is a well-established domestic keyboard and mouse brand, Erfeiyan!"

Erfeiyan?
Hear this familiar yet unfamiliar brand name.

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows.

This name was naturally familiar to Ye Chen.

Ten years ago, the keyboard and mouse at home were of this brand.

Ye Chen still remembers the mouse at that time, and there was a small ball inside, which he often picked out to play with.

Unexpectedly, one day, Er Feiyan, who Ye Chen thought was bankrupt, would want to be a sponsor of his club.

This made Ye Chen quite interesting.

He opened his mouth and asked, "What is Er Feiyan's asking price? If the conditions are the same as Logitech, then choose Er Feiyan!"

Ye Chen chose Er Feiyan first, not for anything else but for feelings.

The teacher shook his head and said, "Er Feiyan did not give any specific sponsorship requirements. Their boss hopes to meet you and have an interview with you!"

Ye Chen frowned when he heard that.

To be honest, it’s just a sponsorship of 200 million yuan.

Say no more, say less.

After having the cash cow of Xingchen Catering Company, Ye Chen was too lazy to bother with this sponsorship.

However, Ye Chen is still quite curious about how Er Feiyan went from being a well-known domestic product back then to a dismal ending that few young people know about today.

Many old domestic brands have quietly faded out of people's sight.

Meet Er Feiyan’s boss and learn from Er Feiyan’s failure experience, so that you can avoid detours in the future!
So Ye Chen thought for a moment, then agreed.

Erfeiyan is also a local brand in Tianhai City.

After getting the news that Ye Chen agreed to meet and discuss in detail.

At four o'clock in the afternoon that day, Boss Er Feiyan rushed to Star Academy.

It seemed a little impatient.

And when Ye Chen came to the reception room.

There are already many people in the reception room.

Ye Chen glanced around, his eyes could not help being attracted by a woman.

The other party is surprisingly beautiful, with delicate facial features forming a flawless cheek.

Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, capable and mature.

And he was dressed in a black OL outfit, showing that perfect figure to the fullest, like a ripe pear.

Under the black OL outfit, you can see the opponent's calf in black silk.

The black silk is like the other's second skin, making the already slender legs of the other party more perfect.

"Principal Ye, hello, I'm Ji Xiaozhu, the chairman of Erfeiyan..."

The beautiful woman took the initiative to come over and extended her hand to say hello.

Ye Chen was a little surprised, he didn't expect Er Feiyan, the boss of an established manufacturer, to be a 28-year-old woman.

Erfeiyan was acquired and annexed?
Surprised, however.

Ye Chen shook hands with the other party and invited him to sit down.

Ji Xiaozhu was obviously direct and told his intention of coming.

She hopes that Er Feiyan can become a sponsor of Team Star.

Not just the regular season.

It's a season-long sponsor.

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

People in the e-sports circle are not very optimistic about the Star Team, they just want to gain some popularity.

So only sponsor the regular season.

Er Feiyan is quite heroic here.

The opening is the whole season.

Ye Chen naturally wouldn't refuse, and nodded in agreement.

But soon, Ji Xiaozhu in front of him said, "Er Feiyan's current financial situation is not very good, so we can only take out 300 million RMB as the sponsorship fee for this season!"

300?
It is said that it is not just the teachers on site.

Even Ye Chen frowned.

Now Star Academy has entered the e-sports industry.

Naturally, he knows the standards of sponsorship fees very well.

To put it simply, a team like LGD that can only mix in the regular season will definitely not make it to the playoffs.

They only sign for the regular season, and the sponsorship fee is basically 80 to [-].

After all, the own brand logo can only be displayed during the regular season.

80 to [-] is already very reasonable.

The star team can get a million, it is because of the attention brought by the star academy, so it is a premium!

……

And if the team is strong enough, it has a great chance of entering the playoffs.

The sponsorship fee is basically around 300 million.

If there are star players in the team, the attention is high enough.

The sponsorship fee can be even higher.

And if it is a team that has the strength to enter the World Championship, the sponsorship fee will naturally be higher.

After all, once you enter the World Championship.

The scope of the propaganda has spread to the whole world.

The League of Legends World Championship is the most watched event in the world online.

So to this level of team.

The sponsorship fee starts at 500 million, and 1000 million is not impossible.

Now, the owner of Erfeiyan wants to sign a sponsorship for the entire season, but he is only willing to spend 300 million.

To be honest, it’s low!

When the family enters the playoffs, any sponsorship will not be lower than this price.

Not to mention entering the World Championship.

Although the other party is beautiful, she is too beautiful to be eaten.

Sponsors in the peripheral category can be said to be the main source of money for e-sports teams.

It is impossible to give Er Feiyan a mere 300 million.

So Ye Chen immediately wanted to refuse.

However, Ji Xiaozhu should have anticipated the reaction after the quotation, so before Ye Chen could speak, he continued: "We at Erfeiyan will launch a series of the latest gaming keyboard and mouse headsets this month!"

"This set of keyboard and mouse headphones will be our flagship product of Erfeiyan this year, and will be sold in online stores and offline!"

"During the period of our sponsorship contract, for every single product or set sold, we will share [-]% of the profit of the product with Star Academy..."

"Excluding various costs, marketing expenses, channel fees, etc., the profit of each mechanical keyboard is about 40 yuan."

"The profit from the mouse is 30 yuan."

"The profit from headphones is 50 yuan..."

"If it's a set, the profit is about 80 yuan because the total price is more favorable."

When Ye Chen heard this, he immediately smiled.

It's not that this sharing agreement brought any surprises to Ye Chen.

Er Feiyan is now completely cold.

I can't even see it on weekdays, let alone buy it.

With the sales volume of Erfeiyan, it is unexpected that these keyboards and mice can sell [-] sets.

Unless it can be popular, there is not much money at all.

But at this moment, Ye Chen already understood the other party's plan.

The other party obviously wanted to gamble.

Get 300 million sponsorship fees, and [-]% of the profits.

Let’s bet that Star Team can enter the World Championship this year.

After all, once Star Team enters the World Championship, Er Feiyan, as a sponsor, will definitely get a lot of attention.

This will drive Erfeiyan’s product sales.

But to be honest, Er Feiyan actually had a better choice.

The other side can definitely be more prudent and choose a team that can steadily enter the playoffs and possibly enter the World Championship, and offer this condition.

Most of the other party will agree.

If they make it to the playoffs steadily, there will be a lot of attention.

If luck is good and the opponent enters the World Championship, it will undoubtedly make more money.

Choosing such a team is more reliable than choosing the Star Team.

This is in the best interest of Er Feiyan.

But now, Er Feiyan has found her home.

What does this mean?
It means that the opponent is really optimistic about their own team.

Under the circumstances that everyone in the e-sports circle is not very optimistic about Team Star, why is the opponent willing to place such a large bet?

Ji Xiaozhu's attitude was direct, and Ye Chen was not one to mince words.

Looking directly into Ji Xiaozhu's clear eyes that were like autumn water, Ye Chen directly asked his doubts: "Why is Miss Ji so optimistic about the Star Team?"
