Chapter 11: A Slap in the Face
After Guo Decheng experienced three failed confessions, his standards for his girlfriend fell again and again.
Now he felt that even if a girl with glasses as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle, a freckled face and steel teeth could accept his confession, he would not hesitate to take it.
But there are no such girls.
"Alas. β
Throughout the first year of junior high school, Guo Decheng did not find a girlfriend, but his relationship with Jiang Chao was getting better and better.
Jiang Chao's junior high school life is still very self-disciplined, and in the first year of junior high school, he couldn't practice the piano, martial arts, and basketball. The only thing that has changed is that he no longer dares to skip classes as recklessly as he did in elementary school.
Although Jiang Chao still does his own thing in class, his grades have always been in the top two.
Top 2 in the school.
Although Guo Decheng is stupid, he is still very motivated, at least he is very serious in reading, and his grades have always been in the top 20 in the school.
As the relationship with Guo Decheng gets better and better, Jiang Chao has gained many friendship stars. Jiang Chao doesn't care so much about friendship now.
Making friends is such a thing, just go with the flow, and deliberately making friends for the little star is counterproductive.
He found that Guo Decheng was indeed a friend worth making.
is different from Guo Decheng's comic character, his background is not small. His father is the top leader of Jinjiang City, and it is said that he will have the opportunity to enter the provincial party committee in the future. Therefore, Guo Decheng is an out-and-out second-generation official.
Guo Decheng's mother is also not small, his grandfather is one of the standing committee members of Donghai City, the economic center of China, although he is about to retire, but it is said that he has a certain network in the central government.
Despite this background, Guo Decheng does not have strange bad habits, and he does not have the arrogance of the second generation of officials in literary and artistic works. He is very low-key, that is, he has a good relationship with Jiang Chao, and even some teachers in the class don't know his family situation.
What's even more rare is that he is very righteous towards Jiang Chao. Once Jiang Chao was drawing cartoons in class, and was caught by the teacher, in line with the attitude of treating good students and poor students equally, the teacher punished Jiang Chao for standing in the corridor, and it didn't take long for Guo Decheng to come out.
"I'm afraid you'll be alone, so I'll just come out to accompany you. Guo Decheng had a mean smile on his face.
Jiang Chao sighed and patted Guo Decheng on the shoulder. Now he is half a head taller than Guo Decheng.
The two stood bored in the aisle, and occasionally a girl with homework passed by, and couldn't help but glance at them.
"But I said, your drawings are really interesting. Guo Decheng thought for a while and suddenly asked: "By the way, brother, have you ever thought about publishing this painting?"
"Publishing?" Jiang Chao was stunned.
"Remember, I made a copy of your comic last time, and then it was seen by one of my cousins, and my cousin liked it very much. β
Jiang Chao shook his head, although he has a certain amount of painting skills, but this story was drawn hastily, and he did not use special comic tools, so it could not meet the standard of publication at all.
"Don't shake your head just yet. Actually, my cousin told me to find you. β
"My cousin is a professional cartoonist, and he has been saying that he has run out of inspiration recently, and when he saw your "Slap Man", he was immediately attracted and full of praise, and said that if you can use your story and his professional skills, you will definitely be able to create a very blockbuster comic!"
Jiang Chao was stunned when he heard this, blinked his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.
Before Jiang Chao was reborn, a comic called "One Slap Superman" became popular all over the Internet, and that comic was made by two authors to determine the storyboard and plot through one person's draft, and one person processed and produced it with professional comics.
But for some reason, the world seems to have undergone some strange changes after Jiang Chao's rebirth, and "One Slap Superman", which was supposed to be created by the two of them, may be difficult to be born again.
Because the author of the original work, Two, who was responsible for the manuscript, has achieved great success in his career, it is basically impossible to create the original version of "One Slap Superman". Jiang Chao also checked for a long time before finding some information on the Internet to confirm.
Jiang Chao thought of that comic, and his heart was itching, so he came up with the idea of drawing "One Slap Superman" by himself.
His "One Slap Superman" basically copies the original painting he read before he was reborn, the painting style is weird, the plot is basically unchanged, the protagonist is full at the beginning, and he only needs a slap to deal with the enemy.
"This ......"
"How?"
"I think about it. β
......
Guo Decheng's cousin is named Zhou Ziran, his name is very neutral, and he is also polite, with glasses, tall and thin.
Guo Decheng's mother and Zhou Ziran's father are brother and sister, which means that Guo Decheng's grandfather of the Standing Committee of Donghai City is Zhou Ziran's grandfather.
With such a background, Zhou Ziran's father also stepped into officialdom at an early age. Originally, according to the arrangement of his family, Zhou Ziran should also embark on this path, but he was interested in comics.
Despite the opposition of his family, Zhou Ziran still persevered, and with his solid and meticulous painting skills, he became a well-known young cartoonist in the Chinese comic circle.
But lately he's hit a plateau. Because he found that in addition to solid drawing skills, comics are more important than unbridled imagination, fascinating storylines, and exquisite storyboards.
And the latter requires talent, such as Akira Toriyama's storyboard and Oda's story rhythm...... These things are hard to learn by acquire.
If you have no painting skills, but you don't have a good story, it's like having the best building materials, but you don't know how to design civil engineering, you still can't build a good building.
can't think of a fascinating story, no matter how good the painting is, it's useless, which once made Zhou Ziran very distressed.
It wasn't until Zhou Ziran saw Jiang Chao's sketch comic at his cousin Guo Decheng's house......
I'll go, this storyboard, this story, this setting...... Zhou Ziran was immediately attracted, and his eyes became brighter and brighter the more he looked.
When asked Guo Decheng, it turned out to be painted by his best friend, and Zhou Ziran suddenly had an idea.
His storyboard, coupled with my professional drawing, will definitely make a hit!
Jiang Chao didn't think about it for long.
A coffee shop.
"Little brother, don't worry, this comic is on fire, let's open it five or five!" Zhou Ziran said excitedly.
Jiang Chao shook his head: "Sanqi." β
Guo Decheng blinked, but did not speak.
Zhou Ziran hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth: "Okay, Sanqi is Sanqi!"
Jiang Chao shook his head again: "I'm three, you're seven." β
Zhou Ziran and Guo Decheng were stunned.
Jiang Chao continued: "This comic mainly requires you to spend a lot of time to create, and my sketch is actually very quick and easy. β
Zhou Ziran frowned when he heard this, and shook his head seriously: "No! Little brother, the most important thing in a comic is not processing, but story." Just like a novel, the story is more important than the writing. I'm doing the minutiae work, how can I take the lion's share?"
Moreover, what Zhou Ziran didn't say was that he didn't really care about money. Drawing comics is his dream, and he can create a comic that is popular all over the Internet, prove himself to his family, even if he is willing to pay for it.
In the end, at Zhou Ziran's insistence, the two of them set an income of fifty to five.
Jiang Chao gave Zhou Ziran the thick stacks of manuscripts he had drawn before.
Zhou Ziran's eyes suddenly lit up: "Have you painted so much?"
"Well, it's already fifty-nine words. I'm going to work hard for you. β
"Haha! I'll start working tomorrow, and I'll show you when the first episode is ready. β
So,A slap Superman comic studio was established under the witness of Guo Decheng,The two sides did not sign any contract,It seems random,But it has planted a bombshell for the long-sluggish Guoman industryγ
To Jiang Chao's surprise, Zhou Ziran actually added many little stars to Jiang Chao's friendship.
Is...... Accidental.
