When Liu Lang came to the headquarters of Shengtang Company located in Zhongguancun, Lu Xiaoguang, Shao Ming and Lu Chunzhong and other five people had been waiting for a long time, Lu Xiaoguang and Shao Ming returned to the capital from Hong Kong Island one day later than Liu Lang, after all, they also had to celebrate the Spring Festival, and the two had been working on Hong Kong Island for half a year, and they had long missed their families.

"Boss, you're finally back!"

Lu Chunzhong and the two old masters hurriedly walked over when they saw Liu Lang.

"Three masters, you have worked hard in the past six months, come, this is a red envelope for everyone!"

There is a thousand yuan in each red envelope, and Liu Lang is never stingy with employees.

"Oh! this is not good, this is not good, we have not done anything!"

The three of them waved their hands one after another.

"You deserve it, take it!"

Liu Lang couldn't help but say that he stuffed the red envelope into the hands of the three of them.

The two-storey building is very clean, it seems that the three of them have to clean it if they are fine, Liu Lang is very relieved of them, such as the parents' generation is mostly a group of simple people, Lu Chunzhong and the three of them worked in the capital animation film studio, the income is not much, but the workload is very large, but they never cheat and play tricks, and their professionalism is amazing.

Liu Lang spent a "lot of money" to dig them up, to solve each other's worries, the three of them are simply grateful to Liu Lang, even if Liu Lang left, the three of them also go to work on time every day, first cleaning, every corner is spotless, much cleaner than their own home, and then discuss some skills in drawing Transformers, sometimes they will pick up a paintbrush to paint, half a year also spent hundreds of pictures, their grasp of details is more and more refined.

Liu Lang saw the sketch of "Slam Dunk" on the table, and it was obvious that they had already started to draw this new comic.

Liu Lang chatted with everyone for a long time, and when it came to life, Lu Chunzhong and the three of them had smiles on their faces.

Now the country's development is quite stable, there is no serious inflation like in the previous life, but after all, the country has just opened the country, and prices have not changed much at all in the more than 20 years before '84, which is not in line with the law of economic development at all, and since '84, especially in '85 and '86, prices have risen by more than 20 percent, and even if the people's wages have risen rapidly, it still makes many people feel that money is worthless.

Now the average salary of ordinary people has reached about 100 yuan, which is of course much better than 84 years ago, when the average salary was only more than 40 yuan, but because prices are rising rapidly, the purchasing power is only a little stronger than it was then.

If a family of three, parents and an only child, both parents have jobs, then the family has no problem eating and drinking, and can basically save 100 yuan a month.

In a family of five or six people of three generations and grandchildren, if three of them have jobs, then they can basically save some savings, but not too much, and there is no problem with food and clothing, but if only two people have jobs, it is basically just food and clothing.

As a matter of fact, more than 70 percent of the country's people are barely able to eat or wear, because 700 million of the country's 1 billion people are peasants, and the income of peasants is not comparable to that of urban residents.

Fortunately, in recent years, the state has given great support to the peasants, and the contract of land production has blossomed everywhere, especially in the 84 years, when the country's grain reached 800 billion tons, a record record, and all this has greatly increased the peasants' incomes, but even so, the peasants' incomes are still not as good as those in the cities, but fortunately, they do not have to spend money on grain, and they have saved a lot of expenses.

So on the whole, there is basically no problem for urban residents to reach the average income level, that is, the level of food and clothing, such as the workers of Gemei air-conditioning factory with an income of more than 200 fast per month is the well-off level, and Lu Chunzhong of Shengtang Company is now earning 500 yuan per month, which is the middle-class level, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are rich people, no worse than those 10,000 yuan households, especially Lu Chunzhong and his son Lu Xiaoguang, the income of the two people is really more than 10,000 yuan a year, which is an out-and-out 10,000 yuan household.

When Lu Chunzhong came out of the Capital Animation Studio, there were still many people who said bad things about him behind his back, saying that he jumped into the fire pit by himself, but two years have passed, and the Lu family has bought washing machines, TVs and refrigerators, and the quality of life has risen gradually, and those who used to laugh at Lu Chunzhong have become jokes.

Lu Chunzhong is an ordinary person, he doesn't have much pursuit, as long as his wife and children are hot on the kang, obviously he has lived such a life now.

After chatting for a while, a few people began to discuss the comic "Slam Dunk", the storyline of the comic is much simpler than that of Transformers, but some details must be bloody, to show the drastic changes in the character's personality, such as Hanamichi from an idle teenager to an athlete who can sacrifice some basketball, such as Mitsui from a troubled teenager to embark on the road of pursuing basketball dreams again, these details must be fully shown in the comics.

When you go into the details, everyone finds that this comic is not ordinary, the story of Transformers expresses a confrontation between good and evil, the story has little to do with reality, and the attraction is the unbridled imagination and description of the future world, "Slam Dunk" It's different, the characters in it are the children of the Lin family, these people don't have superpowers, they don't have any super equipment, they are ordinary people like you and me, but these ordinary people burst out with superhuman vitality for the dream of basketball, and then changed their lives.

The story with a strong sense of substitution is the most resonant, whether it is Lu Xiaoguang or Shao Ming, they can't help but think of themselves, aren't the two of them also constantly struggling for their respective dreams?

"Mr. Liu, this cartoon seems to be just about basketball on the surface, but now it seems that this is actually a story about life, and you just told me a few details to make me empathize, it's amazing!"

Shao Ming no longer has those contemptuous thoughts before at this moment, this "Slam Dunk" is definitely not simple.

"Brother Shao, you're right, the root of this cartoon is actually to describe the story of the transformation of a group of troubled teenagers, before they were exposed to basketball, these people had their own problems, some were confused, some were self-defeating, Some are lonely and selfish, but they all have a basketball dream in their hearts, in order to realize this common dream, they must get rid of their shortcomings, unite together to defeat one after another opponents who are much stronger than themselves, and then complete their own redemption and sublimation, these are the essence of the story, so everyone must draw these profound connotations!"

"Uh-huh, yes, yes!"

Everyone nodded yes incessantly.

In Liu Lang's previous life, the comic "Slam Dunk" was basically drawn by Inoue Yuhiko alone, and in this life, Liu Lang has a team, and the basic overview of the story is there, coupled with the power of teamwork, I believe that this comic will definitely be more exciting than in the previous life, and Inoue Yuhiko can only think of other stories.

After this matter was finalized, Liu Lang also relieved himself and could go home for the New Year with peace of mind.
