On this day, there are constant hot searches for C&K Comic Con.

The scale and project of C&K Comic Con can be called the largest in the history of Comic Con, attracting comic fans who can't come to the online carnival.

The most high-profile cutting-edge cartoonist UU appeared at the book signing, and it turned out to be a cute and cute little beauty, while Luo Changhe, a cartoonist who also received a lot of attention, was guessed to be a gentle classical beauty because of the ancient style, but it turned out to be a neutral and cool beauty, forming a stark contrast.

These two people caused an uproar just by their appearance and attracted a lot of fans.

In addition, it is rumored that CC comics are rich in handsome guys and beauties, and the cartoonists who attended the signing meeting all have high appearances, and netizens ridiculed that they can combine to break into the entertainment industry.

......

Throughout the day, the hot searches of C&K Comic Con emerged in endlessly, none of them were repeated, and they all relied on real evidence.

However, as night fell, a topic suddenly landed on the hot search-

[Zero appeared at C&K Comic Con].

At first, netizens regarded it as a gimmick and didn't feel at ease at all, until they clicked into the hot search......

In the end, it blew up.

Two pictures, front and back of a folding fan.

The front is a picture: There is no heroine in "Legend of Death", the painting is Xia Cheng and Josh who are fighting side by side, occupying one left and one right of the fan, simple coloring, strong visual impact, undoubtedly from the hand of Zero.

The reverse line reads: Take a trip here. ——Zero。

The words are written with a brush, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, strong and powerful, and it is practiced at a glance.

Since the beginning of the lottery, Zero has been searched continuously, especially the New Year's Day gift has attracted many fans, and now seeing this, netizens are completely boiling.

"Hahahahaha It's cheap and cute, and it's powdered. ”

"I'm at the Comic Con!

"Kneeling and begging for a picture of the comic con scene, maybe I just glanced at my uncle in the crowd. ”

"Xingshu? This beautiful handwriting requires years of skill. Is your uncle an all-round pervert?"

......

In addition to netizens, many cartoonists in the circle have also been blown up and expressed their positions.

"Really, I was in the same comic convention as my idol?"

"!"

"Is this a surprise for C&K Comic Con, or is Zero himself really making a low-key appearance?

......

After nightfall, the official Weibo of C&K Comic Con reposted that it was completely unaware of the matter and said that it was flattered by Zero's arrival.

In other words, it confirms the speculation that "Zero is low-key on the scene".

*

The other side.

Si Sheng, who turned off his phone and went to sleep after returning home, slept until the evening before slowly getting out of bed.

As soon as I got out of the bedroom, I heard movement in the hallway, and when I looked up, I saw Xiao Wei carrying a bag on his back, a shopping bag in one hand, and a rolled-up drawing in the other.

Seeing Si Sheng, Xiao Wei subconsciously put the drawings behind his back, but soon, he may also realize that it was useless to cover up, so he took them out generously.

Si Sheng didn't pay attention to the rolled drawings, but saw the shopping bag he was carrying, and raised his eyebrows in a little surprise, "You know how to cook?"

Xiao Wei paused slightly, his thin lips pursed into a sharp line, and he looked quite cold.

After a while, he squeezed out a sentence, "A little." ”

Eating people with a soft mouth, he has been eating and drinking next door, and it is really difficult to adapt.

For him, cooking is the equivalent of a survival instinct.

"What do you eat at night?" asked Si Sheng, his tone of course.

Choked by her natural attitude, Xiao Wei tightened the plastic bag, and his tone was quite awkward: "Just stir-fry a few dishes." ”

"Then don't go next door. ”

Si Sheng said calmly, walking towards the pile of Kulan video gift boxes that he brought back in the afternoon.

At this time, Xiao Wei also noticed the mountain of gift boxes, and frowned, "What are these?"

The gift box packaging that is too cartoonish and soft and cute does not match Si Sheng's temperament at all.

Opening the two boxes casually, Si Sheng glanced at the soft and cute dolls inside, and said, "Given by others, some dolls, stationery, keyboards or something, I will leave it in your house when the time comes." ”

“......”

Under the fence, Xiao Wei, who couldn't refuse, secretly grinded his teeth.

Does this thing have anything to do with him?

*

Taking advantage of Xiao Wei's cooking, Si Sheng returned to the bedroom to wash up, and then took out his mobile phone and turned it on.

She sent a message to Chen Fei, so that he didn't need to prepare dinner for her and Xiao Yi.

saved the photos sent by Ling Xize one by one.

Before parting in the afternoon, she forced Ling Xize to change his WeChat profile picture, and replaced the sketch she had taken secretly with a folding fan picture for him.

It's much more pleasing to the eye.

"Ding-dong-"

I just wanted to put my phone down, and suddenly a friend application popped up, and it was still the daily report [CC Comics, Editor-in-Chief Xiao Xing].

From the first look to now, more than a month.

She didn't block Xiao Xing, it was she who was really thinking about CC Comics. And Xiao Xing is also a smart person, after realizing this, he sent a friend application every day, just to let her know his determination, and he vowed not to give up until he achieved his goal.

During today's trip to the Comic Con, Si Sheng did not have a good impression of Mu Mu and Tilt Yiren, but the words she put down before, as well as Chu Luo's evaluation, made her inclined to a certain decision.

With a narrowing of his eyes, Si Sheng agreed.

In less than ten seconds, the mobile phone rang "ding dong" and "ding dong" without stopping.

[Xiao Xing]: !!

[Xiao Xing]: Z God, is it really you?

[Xiao Xing]: Please forgive me for being so excited at the moment.

[Z,]: Are you free, let's talk.

[Xiao Xing]: Yes, yes.

Si Sheng glanced at the time at the top of the screen, it was almost seven o'clock, under normal circumstances, it was time to get off work.

But since the other party said so, Si Sheng didn't care about delaying his efforts for a while.

[Z,]: I can go to CC Comics, and the contract must be the same as Miha Comics.

A sentence was sent, but the other party did not respond for a long time.

Si Sheng was not surprised, put his phone aside, and waited for Xiao Xing to slowly comb it.

In the industry, her contract with Miha Comics is not a secret.

Five years ago, online comics were just emerging, and Miha comics had a place to recruit more high-quality cartoonists to enhance their reputation. Later, they took a fancy to Zero's "Tale of Death" serialized on Weibo, and it took three months to negotiate with Zero alone.

Zero eventually agrees to join the Miha comics, but there are many treaties listed.

1. Zero's identity information is fully confidential, and I do not cooperate with any publicity.

2. Miha Comics does not own any copyright of "Dead Legend", only provides a publishing platform, and settles revenue according to clicks, and belongs to a cooperative relationship with Zero.

3. After logging in to the platform, "Dead Legends" does not receive any benefits, nor does it accept any form of advertising.

4. Zero himself has the right to remove "Tales of Death" from the shelves at any time.

......

All in all, although Zero has serialized "Tales of Death" in Miha Comics, he is completely out of the control of Miha Comics. Therefore, there was chaos within the Miha Comics company back then, Zero came and went freely, and he withdrew as soon as he said it, and "Death Legend" was taken off the shelves of Miha Comics for the first time.

However, even so, "Dead Legends" has also brought huge traffic to Miha Comics and obtained huge benefits.

Two years ago, after Zero left Miha Comics, many comic agencies came to find him and promised to give more preferential conditions, however, Zero didn't agree to any of them, and only updated the new work on Weibo.

When Si Sheng turned on the computer, the WeChat message came back.

[Xiao Xing]: That's it?

[Xiao Xing]: We can provide more favorable conditions for you.

[Z,]: That's it.

[Xiao Xing]: No, no, no, it is our honor for you to come to CC Comics.

[Xiao Xing]: Please be sure to take a look at the new contract we have proposed!

[Xiao Xing]: [Document]

[Xiao Xing]: If you have any requirements, you can add them at any time!

Si Sheng stared at the documents on his phone and was speechless for a while.

？

And this kind of don't fight for your own company?

Logging in to WeChat with a computer, Si Sheng received the contract documents, opened them, and browsed them unhurriedly.

*

CC Comics, Inc., Office of the Editor-in-Chief.

Sitting in the office was a young man in his thirties, ******, handsome, and polite. On the bookshelf behind him, the entire row is Zero's comic books, and the ornaments, figures, alarm clocks on the desk, and the pillows on the sofa are undoubtedly all kinds of "Death Legends" peripherals.

After the last message was typed, Xiao Xing sent it a little bit, and the whole person seemed to be out of strength, grabbing the fingers of the mouse, and trembling uncontrollably.

No one could understand his excitement at the moment.

Zero, recognized by many peers, is a man who stands at the top of the comic circle in the new era......

Such a god-like existence does not need to resort to any comic platform.

In other words, he himself is the hottest platform in his own right.

When Xiao Xing first inquired about Zero's WeChat, he also had the mentality of trying, but he didn't expect that after more than a month of persistence, Zero agreed.

It's like a dream.

Picking off his eyes, Xiao Xing reached out and rubbed his face vigorously to make himself sober, and then couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and make a video call to the main creative team of CC Comics, informing them of this exciting good news.

That's right—

The main creative team of CC Comics, including Xiao Xing himself, are all Zero's ashes fans!

*

The contract was too long, and after Si Sheng read it carefully, he rubbed his eyes with his hands.

Leaning back, Si Sheng leaned back in the chair, his fingers on the armrests and tapped lightly, looking thoughtful.

This is a contract that fully protects her interests.

Covering all of her requirements for Miha's comics, and adding a number of regulations that favor her interests, it can be said that no effort is spared to consider her.

Such an impatient gesture made Si Sheng hesitate.

After thinking about it for a while, Si Sheng hadn't made a decision yet, and Xiao Xing sent another message.

[Xiao Xing]: Z God, we can guarantee that CC Comics will never repeat the history of Miha Comics.

Si Sheng's eyelids lifted, and in his calm eyes, a smile flowed.

That's it......

persuaded her.

Back then, after Zero and white joined Miha Comics, they brought a large number of fans and traffic to Miha Comics, thus making Miha Comics stand out among countless peer websites and stabilize their position.

Because of the popularity of Miha comics and Zero and white, it attracted many excellent cartoonists, and at that time, Miha comics had no money to do publicity and activities, and they all relied on the works of these cartoonists to attract traffic.

It was also the heyday of Miha's comics.

However, it only lasted for three years.

Three years later, the top management of Miha Comics had a conflict, and for the sake of profit, they made many hard demands -- the author was not allowed to finish the comic without permission, the comic was cut in half for not doing well, the author's comic outline was forcibly interfered with and important plots were revised, and the editor instigated the author to draw indiscriminate pictures to attract attention......

To sum up: the author must look at the market and speak, and cannot play freely.

Zero and white are free contracts, and they are not the same for others, their works are wantonly ruined, and they are trapped by contracts.

Later, they departed and retreated. Miha comics dig their own graves, and after their reputation is damaged, they can't make rescue measures, but they can't go back.

And the decline of Miha Comics was a great blow to the entire comic circle at that time.

In the past two years, the traffic has been diverted by major websites, and the comic works are uneven, and no comic website can reproduce its original glory.

[Z,]: Yes, I will send you the contract.

Interests are the foundation of survival, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, in their line of work, feelings are very important.

Popular works only need to study the skills and the psychology of the reader. However, only people with dreams and passion can create works with soul.

The contract that completely served her, as well as Xiao Xing's insistence and guarantee, undoubtedly made Si Sheng see the word "feelings".

After a long time, there was a message back.

[Xiao Xing]: Do you agree?

[Z,]: Hmm.

At the same time—

In the editor-in-chief's office.

Xiao Xing, who saw the reply to the message, got up suddenly, didn't stand firm because of excitement, and fell to the ground along with the chair.

There was a loud bang in the office.

......

Si Sheng waited for a moment before getting Xiao Xing's follow-up response.

[Xiao Xing]: Z God, are you in lockdown? I saw the news that you participated in the C&K Comic Con today.

[Z,]: Hmm.

In the office, Xiao Xing, who saw this reply, couldn't help but be excited again, his heart was pounding, and he was jumping up and down his throat at any time.

Uncle is really participating in their C&K Comic Con!

But—

In an instant, Xiao Xing collapsed again.

He wasn't there.

I didn't even have a chance to "pass by" with my uncle.

[Xiao Xing]: The company address of our CC comics is also under lockdown. If it is convenient for you, we can come to your door to sign the contract.

Reading between the lines reveals excitement and eagerness.

Si Sheng smiled.

It can be seen that Xiao Xing just can't wait, but the whole network is calling "uncle", Si Sheng looks at her appearance through the reflection of the glass mirror, and he really can't meet this request.

[Z,]: Tomorrow afternoon, you go to Dexiu Zhai, and the front desk will give you the contract.

[Xiao Xing]: Is that a hotel?

[Z,]: Hmm.

[Xiao Xing]: Tomorrow, is your new work confirmed?

The reason why Xiao Xing asked this is because the contract is signed for Zero's new work, not Zero himself.

[Z,]: Hmm.

[Xiao Xing]: Can I take a look?

Such a request is reasonable, CC Comics has the right to know in advance about the works they have signed, and Si Sheng can't refuse.

Raising his hand to control the mouse, Si Sheng clicked on a folder called "New World".

Although she likes to draw drafts and characters in paper storyboards, this does not mean that she is an old antique who can only create in traditional ways. When she actually works, she uses a computer and a pen tablet.

A few days ago, she drew a draft of the first two episodes and scanned it into her computer, and now she has a backup.

She packed the first two words of the new work and sent them to Xiao Xing.

As soon as he finished firing, he heard a knock on the door.

"Knock. Knock. Knock. ”

"The meal is ready. ”

It was Xiao Wei's voice, cold, without any emotion.

Eating was important, Si Sheng put the mouse down, got up and walked out the door.

......

As soon as he went out, he smelled the fragrance, Si Sheng was in a good mood, and after washing his hands, he walked back to the living room, where Xiao Wei had already prepared the rice and the dishes and chopsticks.

However, Si Sheng was attracted by the books on the coffee table.

"Where did these books come from?" Si Sheng stopped and asked.

It's all about machinery and woodworking, and looking at the appearance, it's estimated that it's been some years.

She has studied all the books in the study, and there are a few books that are like a mirror in her heart, and it is obvious that these books are not hers.

After dragging the dining chair, Xiao Rui glanced at the coffee table, only to realize that he had forgotten to put things away, and after a pause, he said truthfully: "I found it at home." ”

"Back to your house?"

"Hmm. ”

Picking up the book casually and flipping through it, Si Sheng asked, "Interested in these?"

Xiao Wei said perfunctorily: "Just take a look." ”

Naturally, it's not as simple as "just looking".

Staying here alone on the weekend, Xiao Shun had nothing to do, so he went to Si Sheng's study for a stroll, but when he saw the drawings on her desk, he became interested and wanted to study but couldn't understand them, so he thought about learning some basic things first.

However, the books on Si Sheng's bookshelf, he read jerky, difficult to understand, the professional terminology was a headache, and there were some ancient books, let alone read.

After taking pictures and asking Si Fengmian, he learned that those were all professional-level, and Si Fengmian suggested that he start with the entry-level ones.

He thought that there were a bunch of similar books at home, so he went back and found something easy to understand.

After a few glances, Si Sheng put the book back and said, "Instead of reading this, it's better to ask Lao Yi." ”

“......”

He didn't have the face to ask an old man who was seriously ill in bed.

Si Sheng didn't mention it much, walked over, sat down and began to eat.

Xiao Wei was worried that she was picky, and at first she was waiting for her "evaluation", but she didn't speak the whole time and finished her meal quietly.

It wasn't until she dropped the chopsticks that she said slowly, "Do you lack living expenses?"

？

Stunned, Xiao Zhicai said: "There is no shortage." ”

"Oh. ”

Si Sheng seemed to have some regrets.

Xiao Wei: "......" is inexplicable.

Si Sheng didn't speak, looked at him twice, got up and left, and naturally threw the work of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks on him.

Xiao Wei grabbed her hair, her eyes followed her back, and finally fell on her slender and slender hand, tender and white, good-looking, at first glance, it was raised by ten fingers without touching the spring water, so the proposal of "division of labor" was swallowed back by him.

Never mind.

Anyway, I'm here for two days a week.

Si Sheng entered the bedroom.

Xiao Cheng got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and suddenly heard the mobile phone ringing, he took it out and looked at it, and found that it was a red envelope sent by Si Sheng.

Remarks: Food expenses.

“......”

She just asked about the cost of living, do you want to spend money to make him a long-term worker?!

*

At the same time, inside the small study.

Si Sheng, who had just finished sending a red envelope to Xiao Xing, leaned back in his chair and clicked on the latest news sent by Xiao Xing.

[Xiao Xing]: Z God, have you lost your storyboard? Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience comes from Aiwang.
