The light of the evening was a little ambiguous, An Yinong was dazed for a moment, but he quickly reacted: "Is it you? Mr. Xie?"

"So I read it wrong?" An Yi Nong Xinyu, but at that moment, he really felt that Mr. came, it was an almost instinctive intuition.

"Meet again, my surname is Xie, Xie Yu." The neighbor smiled, and he covered all his thoughts with a polite smile.

"Which royal?" An Yinong asked reflexively.

The neighbor didn't understand his eagerness, but still replied: "The gentleman's six arts are the royal."

What a coincidence? An Yinong's heart skipped a beat, he forcibly suppressed the unbelievable guess in his heart, and tried to ask in a calm voice, "Why is Mr. Xie here?"

"I live nearby, passing by here, who would have heard the sound of the sword, so I came here to see, have you learned sword?"

"I just learned a little by myself." An Yinong replied.

"It's like a giant, like a dragon, it's unforgettable."

Mr. Xie unconsciously revealed a little real appreciation and love, and An Yinong was stunned again: Mr. Xie once commented on his swordsmanship.

How did he answer at that time? He replied: This is to describe the graceful and light figure of a woman, how can it be used to describe me as a man?

"Sorry, I forgot that this is to describe a girl with a light body, not a boy." Mr. Xie apologized.

Listening to this familiar sentence, An Yinong stared at him blankly and almost asked: Who are you?

"Do you know 'Yinong'?"

Mr. Xie hesitated: "A new cartoonist?"

"Maybe it's just a coincidence? There really is no such beauty in this world." An Yinong was a little disappointed and a little unwilling.

An Yinong, who felt really embarrassed, just found a reason and said that he still has something to do.

"Sorry for bothering you."

Mr. Xie left very considerately.

After leaving the gate of Anyi's farmhouse, Xie Yu detoured to the back door and entered his villa.

There is no exercise room in his villa, but there is a long sword for decoration. Xie Yu took out his sword and watched for a while, then suddenly he made a sword, which was faster and heavier than An Yinong's, but he didn't have that kind of light inspiration.

"Sir?" He put away his sword and frowned: He seemed to have mistaken someone just now, who did he take me for?

When he called Mr., his eyes lit up, as if he had finally seen an oasis in the barren, and his voice was filled with joy, his expression was soft and amiable, he taught people to be curious, and... a little uncomfortable .

It seems to be a very important person, but why is it never mentioned?

He came to the study, took out the cut out small note, opened it, picked up the pen and wrote the first word 'today', but the pen was hanging in the air, and the second word was not written for a long time Down.

After a while, he picked up the small note, rolled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash.

"Really." He patted his forehead, "It makes it seem like young people are in love."

That was a little boy more than ten years younger than him.

I must have been too busy recently, and I have been dizzy.

Probably this time, I found the feeling of sword practice, and the days after that were filled with inspiration.

Soon appeared in the "Painting Friend" magazine.

"Heroes of the Desert" has always been the most popular comics recently. Let's not talk about the style of painting that combines the beauty of male power and the soft beauty of women, and let's not talk about the background depiction of large scenes that shocks the eye from time to time. The well-integrated plot of classical and modern can attract many fans of martial arts comics.

.

The colleagues who didn’t take this newcomer in their eyes before slammed their tongues: The first book of the newcomer cartoonist, the sales volume is even close to the head comics, where is this monster ?

A little bit of the shadow of Dunhuang art, the characters in it move like a fairy."

Look at those scene paintings again, they are the paintings of ancient frontier poems, what's 'the desert is solitary, the long river is setting sun', what's 'don't you see the horses, the rivers, the snowy seas, the flat sands and the wild yellows' sky'.

Even the characters inside fit the whole background, standing or walking, the characters are prominent and harmonious. The artist's composition is amazing.

There are real scenes and images, coupled with the caravan in the wind and the sand or the general on horseback with a knife, this is simply a poem that can be seen.

They even suspect that this is a person who has a certain reputation in the classical painting circle to conceal his identity to 'try his hand' in the comic circle.

At the same time, some comic magazines have finally made up their minds.

.

"Who is Yinong? Find out and dig him away!"

The president also called to report the sales volume of the final episode, and also mentioned the issue of the single book "Desert", but he was also a little worried: "After "Desert", there is no suitable comic book files."

If there is no new comic to stabilize these readers attracted by the desert, their magazine will go back.

"Any other famous cartoonists?"

"Those magazines take these people very seriously, and it is difficult to persuade them to come to our "Painting Friends"."

To put it bluntly, "Painting Friends" is only improving because of "Desert", and it is hard to say what will happen after that. Other cartoonists will not move here easily, the risk is too high.

"If you can't find those well-known cartoonists for the time being, then look for them in new submissions. The style of painting is the second standard. Comics, the most important thing is to be interesting and attractive."

"Good boss."

At the same time, editor Qian, who is responsible for the editorial department, stepped into An Yinong's small villa for the first time. She came to publish the single book and the second part of "Heroes of the Desert".

Mother Lian knew that she was the editor of "Painting Friends" and thought it was an employee who came to see the boss. She brought tea and snacks: "Master will be down soon."

An Yinong did come down soon, and brought a stack of comic drafts.

"This is the second volume of "Heroes of the Desert"?" Editor Qian said in surprise.

"No, it's new."

He sat down and pushed the manuscript in front of Editor Qian: "Want to take a look?"

"I'm sorry." Editor Qian brought it over to straighten it out, "Huh?" Her expression was a little weird, why is this style different from Heroes of the Desert?

"It's also a martial arts theme?" Editor Qian couldn't understand looking at the beauty in antique clothes and the girl in modern clothes beside her.

"It's a female protagonist, a modern adventure." An Yinong took a sip of tea.

"Pfft, cough, cough." Editor Qian wiped the coffee table with a tissue and looked at his boss and author in shock, "You mean, shoujo manga?"

"In the previous sales record of "Painting Friends", female customers accounted for about 30%. I believe that female-themed comics are a market with great potential. If "Painting Friends" can eat this market The first piece of meat of the company will have more opportunities and possibilities than other publishing houses in the future.”

Doing one line and loving one line, this is his style of doing things, so he wants to be a great cartoonist, and the magazine should become a famous magazine.

An Yinong took out a questionnaire and Qian editor analysis, Qian editor can not help but raised his chest and listened to the boss's teaching.

"In the Sakura Country next door to us, female-themed comics have begun to emerge, which shows that it is necessary and feasible to develop the female reader market. Now, for some reasons, comics from neighboring countries cannot enter for the time being Hong Kong City, this is our opportunity."

He pushed the drawing in his hand: "So this one is also given to you."

"Still use the name 'Yinong'?" Editor Qian was very uneasy, she was worried that readers would riot.

Everyone thinks that the 'Yinong' who drew "Heroes of the Desert" is a mature and experienced gentleman in his twenties and thirties, with outstanding literary talent and outstanding painting skills, who suddenly draws girl cartoons ,this…

"It's called Gu Pan," An Yinong said. "Men's comics use 'Yinong', and women's comics use 'Gu Pan'."

Editor Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and then An Yinong talked about the next topic: "The second part of "The Desert" is already being prepared, and the second part can't always give me back the newcomer price, right? How much are you ready to give?"

"..." Editor Qian silently took two sips of tea to suppress his shock: Young Master, the entire publishing house is yours, do you have to care about five yuan per page or six yuan?

The hobbies of these rich people are really strange...

Although editor Qian has been complaining in her heart, she still conveyed the meaning of the editorial department to An Yinong: "Eight yuan per page, the royalties of the first edition of the single edition will be increased to 8%."

This is a decision made by their publisher after consultation. Although their contract has a requirement that they can only serialize comics in this magazine for five years, the liquidated damages are not too high, and they are foolish to use money to keep this seemingly potential author.

"Worry too much, the boss has already drawn comics for the magazine, what are you worried about?" Editor Qian sometimes gets excited secretly, only she knows about this kind of thing, Yuyu really is ...so stupid to say it out loud!

But the rising prices and housing prices prevented her from dying. In order to keep her job, it is better to shut up.

An Yinong was quite satisfied with the price, he said about the problem of the single-edition book: "Are you foolish to seize the summer market?"

Summer vacation will be in a few days, and a large number of students will enter the free time. This time is often the best selling time for comics, novels, and film rolls.

"Yes. The editor-in-chief hopes to print the book and put it on the market as soon as possible. The serialized magazines sold so well before, so don't worry about the single edition."

For most cartoonists, the single line is the most profitable. There is a fixed amount for the manuscript fee, but there is no fixed amount for the royalties obtained through the single-line book. And a single book can test the true level of a cartoonist.

"After printing, send 1,000 copies over, I will write autographs, and then scramble into the unsigned comics. In addition, I have contacted a factory that makes high-quality resin toys. The figure inside is customized, divided into Q version and collector's version. When the time comes, it will be shipped to the shelves together.

"Of course, I will contact your president in the name of a director and discuss these matters."

An Yinong, who is both a boss and an employee, said a lot, many of which are sales experience of later generations.

She returned dizzy with the new drawing and the contract with the name written on it: "Yinong agreed, and immediately began to prepare for correction and printing."

Colleagues passing by looked at the signature on the contract and laughed: "It's a coincidence that it has the same name as our little boss."

The editor who knew everything, bowed his head silently, and opened the drawing of "The Girl of the Royal Spirit".

"Little Boss's martial arts comics are so good, why do you suddenly want to draw girl comics? The audiences of these two themes are completely different."

She sighed, not holding out much hope.

Men writing novels about women is an indescribably weird feeling, let alone drawing comics, this cartoonist still prefers to draw martial arts, and stupidity is a disaster.

"The editor-in-chief certainly won't get through. How can I tell the little boss euphemistically later?"

She turned to the first page: "Huh?"

The big picture of a girl standing on the top of a tall building looking down at the earth caught her attention.

In front of this little back are layers of human buildings and human society, like a honeycomb. The dense sesame grains are the same as people.

The vastness of heaven and earth, and the insignificance of human beings, are highlighted through this strong contrast.

Another amazing thing is the huge sunset, with blurry patterns like eyes. If you look closely at this sunset, there will be an illusion of being sucked away by the vortex.

The foolish trick that she had just looked at before disappeared at this moment, and she wanted to continue to read it. This big picture aroused her countless curiosity.

Editor Qian was not foolish. She watched it for a long time, and she was so addicted to it that she even forgot to eat lunch, for fear that eating would delay her reading comics.

Finally, she saw the last one, and everyone started to pack up and get off work.

"Editor-in-chief!" Editor Qian grabbed the door handle of the editor-in-chief's office, her cheeks flushed with excitement, "Please read this book carefully!"
