The two came to KFC, ordered a bunch of food such as burgers, chicken wings, and fries, and found a quiet window seat on the second floor to sit down.

Bright floor-to-ceiling windows are crowded with people.

In these years, people's incomes are generally not high, and it only costs four or five yuan to eat a large bowl of beef noodles in a small corner shop, and ten yuan is a person's food expenses for a whole day.

Therefore, for students, it is a very happy thing to be able to eat KFC once, and even many parents will eat KFC as a reward for their children.

Li Feng picked up the hamburger and said, "Listen to Zhao Yin, you were scolded by my facial paralysis brother for texting in class, and your mobile phone was almost confiscated." ”

"Yes, Lao Zhang's temper is getting bigger and bigger now, and I suspect that he has menopause like his aunt. He was going to confiscate my phone at that time, and I snatched it back from him in a hurry, and the result was miserable, and the crime was even worse, and my mother was called. Xue Yingying stuck out her tongue.

"Lao Zhang is fierce and ruthless, and the most annoying thing is that his mouth is very big. Li Feng took a bite of the hamburger, "Last time I went to the coffee shop with Lin Yuting, he actually made a small report to my mother, it's really enough for a chicken woman!"

Xue Yingying's eyes flashed: "Li Feng, last time you asked Lin Yuting to go to the coffee shop, everyone gossiped a lot, and many people said that you fell in love with other people's schools." ”

"I have a crush on her? dragged, not feminine at all. Li Feng snorted, "I still owe her a lot of debt." ”

Xue Yingying smiled when she heard this: "You don't go to school now, so you plan to concentrate on paying off your debts?"

"Hey, there's no way, who told me to be miserable. Li Feng said, "I hit the luxury car of the rich second generation, and I offended the big leaders in the city, and now I can still appear in front of you alive, it's not easy, you have to cherish it." ”

"Hehe, I'm still in the mood to joke. But it's good, at least I can live a free life, unlike me, in a dark cage in my life, I can't see my fingers. Xue Yingying's expression was a little gloomy.

"Aren't you very good, you are beautiful, your academic performance is top-notch, your family is rich, the boys in the class are chasing you to socialize, and the girls are chasing you to ask you questions, you are a red rose in the bee colony. Li Feng finished the hamburger and began to eat fries.

"Why is Xiaozui so slippery, you don't know my suffering. Xue Yingying Nunu mouthed, "My life has always been under the control of my mother, she asked me to go east, I must not go west." In the future, she has decided what major I will study in college and which country I plan to study in, and I am afraid that I will not be able to escape her control even if I marry someone in the future. ”

Parents in China generally have a strong desire to control, although their own lives may not be well arranged, but they have an instinct to control their children's lives. Although Li Feng lives in a poor family, fortunately, his parents are more open-minded and can understand and respect the decisions made by Li Feng.

But Xue Yingying is different, because her mother Fang Yuemei is engaged in student management at Xianhu University, due to her professional instinct, she is also comprehensive in the management of her daughter, and has almost reached the point of doing everything.

"Then what is your ideal?" Li Feng asked.

"I became a cartoonist, but in my mother's opinion, this ideal was not reliable at all, and she asked me to learn computer science in the future and strive to study in the United States. Xue Yingying's face was helpless.

"To be a cartoonist?" Li Feng remembered that Xue Yingying's painting skills were very good, and many works were exhibited in the school window at that time, but she didn't expect that her ideal was to be a cartoonist, which was quite interesting, "If you have an ideal, you have to work hard to fight for it, can you let me see your comic manuscript?"

"There's nothing to look at, I haven't painted it since the beginning of this year. Xue Yingying looked a little embarrassed, "It's just that if you want to become a cartoonist, the road is long, and I don't know what to do." ”

Li Feng nodded: "My country's animation industry is still underdeveloped, there are very few people who draw comics, and even fewer people want to rely on this industry to make a living, and become a stable career." However, if you want to become a cartoonist, it is not impossible to do so, but you have to be strong. ”

"Oh?" Xue Yingying blinked her big eyes, as if she was interested, and leaned her head closer to Li Feng, "How can I become a cartoonist?" ”

Li Feng has a lot of ideas for small brains, and even his father Xue Guoqiang is full of praise, maybe he can really provide her with some good ideas.

"I think it seems very difficult to realize your dream through formal channels in the current state of the domestic animation industry. Li Feng paused and said, "But you can try to go off the rails with your sword." ”

"The sword is going sideways?" Xue Yingying didn't know what Li Feng meant.

"Upload your comics online and make a name for yourself. Li Feng said, "You can post your comic works on the forum and gradually accumulate popularity." When your popularity accumulates to a certain level, you can move to the physical realm, which is the idea of the sword going sideways. ”

Xue Yingying felt that this idea was very reliable, the traditional publishing path requires qualifications, and the publishing house is reluctant to mobilize its own resources to publish works for young painters without any successful experience, because it is too risky. Even if you submit an article to some comic magazines, it often goes to nothing.

But the Internet is completely different, it is so inclusive that anyone can publish their work through the Internet with just a computer. If the strength of the work is really good, there will definitely be netizens who come to cheer.

As long as you accumulate enough popularity through the platform of the Internet, you will naturally have resources in the field of physical comics to move closer to you.

"Li Feng, I know that some people write novels on the Internet, but there doesn't seem to be a good place to draw comics on the Internet, and there is no precedent for any success. Xue Yingying thought about it and expressed her confusion.

Li Feng knows that the future development of the domestic comic industry is to transmit to the downstream comic industry after online novels become the core resources of IP.

In other words, comics are adapted from popular online novels, and without this foundation, it is difficult to accumulate enough popularity by comics alone, and it is impossible to develop in the direction of animation, film and television further downstream.

At present, the domestic online novel industry has not yet developed, and the development of the comic industry is even more later.

"I don't think the comics on the Internet are the kind of tomes that can easily take a few volumes or a dozen volumes, or even shorter than a short story like "Robot Cat". Li Feng took a sip of Coke and said, "From the perspective of communication, the effect of four-panel comics and eight-panel comics is the best. ”

"Four-panel comics and eight-panel comics? You mean super short, super short stories that can be done with a few comics. Xue Yingying understood what Li Feng meant.

In fact, the essence of ultra-short comics is small jokes, and in 2001, there was no such profession as a joker, and it was difficult for Li Feng to explain it from this perspective.

From the perspective of communication, this kind of short, concise but story-based comics have the most widely spread effect on the Internet, and netizens can make full use of the fragmented time when surfing the Internet to read a comic story for a minute or two.

In 2001, such a form of webtoon had not yet appeared, and if Xue Yingying could seize the opportunity, she might be able to make a name for herself on the Internet and become a cutting-edge painter in the domestic comic industry.
