"Lin Lan, I really don't have time. I have to spend a lot of time drawing slam dunk masters every day. Also, I have to go to the Flying Dragon Company in Georgopol a few times a week. If this goes on, I won't have any time for a week.”
Chen Ze said to Lin Lan. He thought that Lin Lan thought that it was not because he did not have the time, but because he was lazy and refused to draw, so he deliberately explained.
"Chen Ze, are you still drawing Slam Dunk by yourself?”Lin Lan suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"Yes, I am!" Chen Ze nodded. Whether it was the characters, the composition, the background, or the colors, they were all done by him alone. That was why he spent most of his time drawing comics every day.
"Or are you alone? Don't you think it's hard?" Lin Lan said in surprise.
"Of course it's hard, but I don't want to stop publishing, so I can only endure like this.”Chen Ze said helplessly.
As a comic fan in his previous life, he hated the idea of going on hiatus. It would be fine if it was published once in a while, but if it was often closed, the mangaka's entire family would definitely be greeted by the fans.
Just like a rich old thief, Chen Ze did not know if he was drawing comics full-time and resting in private. He had been drawing comics in private for many years, such as " Full-time Hunter ". In the end, ever since he got married, Old Thief's moral integrity had steadily declined. Before Chen Ze was reborn, he only hoped that he could see the ending in his lifetime.
Therefore, due to all the things that happened in his previous life, he was unwilling to stop publishing.
"Then why don't you hire an assistant or set up your own studio? Logically speaking, with your current income, this is a very easy thing to do.”
Lin Lan's words were like an epiphany, and a bolt of lightning flashed across Chen Ze's mind.
"Yeah, why don't you build a studio and hire a group of people to help you draw? That way, you can free yourself from the tedious details of comics.”
In the past, Chen Ze did not think about hiring an assistant or setting up his own studio because he did not have the money. It was different now. His standalone books were selling so well that he was already qualified to establish his own studio.
Chen Ze was worried that he didn't have enough time. Even if he tried his best, he would only be able to move three or four classic comics from his previous life to this world. However, it would be different if he established a studio. Not only would he have an assistant, but he would also be able to draw only the main characters.
He could even invite a few young cartoonists back to come up with his own ideas, stories, and characters. He could let them draw the manga, and as the script and supervisor, he could name the manga with the name of the studio. This way, he could draw the many classics in his previous life that he had originally thought he did not have the time and did not plan to publish!
Chen Ze finally understood what Lin Lan meant when she said that she had the time. If she really did that, Chen Ze would really have the time to complete the collaboration with Bandai Games.
"Lin Lan, thank you for reminding me.”Chen Ze smiled." I already have an idea for the collaboration with Bandai.”
"Ah, so fast?" Lin Lan said in surprise. She had just convinced Chen Ze, and he had already come up with an idea. This was a little too fast.
Chen Ze looked at Lin Lan's surprised face and smiled. He turned around and picked up a brush and paper on the table. With a few strokes, he drew both characters.
They were a man and a beast. The little beast looked like a dinosaur. That person was a primary school student, and he was holding a digital Tyrannosaurus fighter jet similar to the one Lin Lan had seen at Ou Cheng's place.
"This is?" Lin Lan asked.
"This is called Digimon. He is one of the seven children who were chosen. He is holding the Divine Plan in his hand, and beside him is his Digimon partner, Yagu.”Chen Ze smiled.

After discussing with Lin Lan about setting up his own studio, Chen Ze left the new animation magazine agency. The animation for his " Slam Dunk " was about to be released on the small screen. Today, he had to go to Fei Long Company to make the final confirmation of the animation.
"Sakuragi, I've already scored nine goals. There's only one more before you lose. So, this is the basketball you look down on.”The third episode of " Slam Dunk " was playing on TV, and his production team was sitting opposite him.
"Not bad."
Chen Ze nodded. The four episodes that had been completed were pretty good from the quality to the dubbing to the rhythm.
For a new anime like Chen Ze's Slam Dunk, it would usually broadcast four episodes in a row in the first week to attract the audience. Then, from the second week onwards, it would broadcast one episode per week so that it could keep up with the pace of the manga.
Therefore, the first four episodes of the first week were quite important. Their quality would directly determine whether the audience would be interested in your animation.
That was why Chen Ze was so strict with the requirements for these four episodes. Now that he saw the perfect finished product, he heaved a long sigh of relief.
The animation would be aired on Wednesday. With the quality of these episodes, it would definitely recreate the popularity of Slam Dunk in his previous life.
At this moment, Li Yun Tian walked in with a serious expression. Something big seemed to have happened.
"Something happened." Li Yun Tian said in a low voice.
"What is it?" Chen Ze asked. From Li Yun Tian's expression, it should be something related to the animation.
"Province G's television station just called and said that the schedule that was originally reserved for us has been taken. "They don't have any extra time to broadcast our animation. We can only broadcast it late at night or on the television station in Georgopol first.”Li Yun Tian said helplessly.
"There's such a thing? Who took our time, could it be??????”Chen Ze thought of a possibility.
Li Yun Tian looked at Chen Ze and nodded."It's Wang Tian from the Lotte Club."
It was indeed Wang Tian. Only Lotte Society had the power to make the TV station change gears at the last minute. However, this Wang Tian still hadn't learned his lesson. Last time, the sales volume of the standalone book had been completely beaten up by him. This time, he actually came to find trouble with him so quickly.
"The TV station just said that they would be broadcasting Wang Tian's 'The Youth Who Traversed in Time and Space', so they changed our broadcast.”
Li Yun Tian had poured a lot of effort into the animation of " Slam Dunk ". He had almost poured the entire company's strength into making " Slam Dunk " a national cartoon that was popular all over the country.
In the end, when it was about to appear on television, it was actually caused by Lotte Society. His initial investment in Slam Dunk was already quite large. If the ratings were not good, he would definitely not be able to recoup the cost.
Therefore, Li Yun Tian was at his wit's end.
"Then, CEO Li, why don't we go on the late-night stream and G City TV station at the same time?”
Chen Ze said. Although the television station in G City could only cover the entire city, and not many people would watch cartoons in the late night broadcast. If Slam Dunk were to be broadcasted during these two time slots, the viewership ratings would probably not be too good.
However, Chen Ze believed in the strength of Slam Dunk. He believed that the super-popular platinum-level manga that had created a viewership miracle in his previous life and swept across the entire Asia would definitely be able to shine even in the middle of the night.
"These two periods?" Li Yun Tian was stunned. No matter what animation it was, going to these two time slots was no different from announcing a death sentence.
He had already planned to look for other provincial television stations, but he did not expect Chen Ze to mention these two time slots.
"Chen Ze, I'm afraid that these two periods of time will be too late!”
Before Li Yun Tian could finish, Chen Ze interrupted him,""President Li, please believe in me and Slam Dunk.”
Looking at Chen Ze's determined gaze, Li Yun Tian was also infected,""Alright, then we'll go to these two time slots. I believe that the animation of Slam Dunk will definitely surpass the animation of those bastards from Lotte Society even in these two time slots. When the time comes, let's see how those bastards cry.”
