Chapter 1129: First Sight of Xia Da
In the past few days, Ai Juan has checked a lot of news about Lin Mu, and Lin Mu is naturally not idle, and has a great understanding of the core author of Xia Da's summer island.
Drawing comics, being poor and hungry is the norm, especially when you first start the industry, the delay in manuscript fees is not a month or a month, but a few months of arrears, starving for a few meals, or even two days, this is by no means a joke, but the hardships that many people have experienced.
Not only Shada, but also some of the authors around her, have also experienced such a starvation situation.
After being hungry or sick, they can only endure it, and then laugh and tell it to their friends the next day, which has become the norm for many manga writers.
It sounds like this is very similar to the early professional online writers, even if they once wrote a relatively popular book, but as soon as they opened it, they had no income for several months, and they were still so poor that they couldn't go hungry, so they could only call their friends with the few dollars they had left, and rely on their friends to get through that difficult time.
The author of the top online game, "Niu Pen", has talked about this experience in his works, so even authors with quite good grades are unlikely to choose full-time.
In fact, this situation is not only in the circle and comic circle, but also in the game anchor circle.
Teacher Xu, who eats with his face, is now known to everyone in the e-sports circle, but once because the rent of the company's location was too high, he took his team to run all over the country; Da Sima "once the world knows the melon peel, and no one asks about ten years of teaching", he also revealed his original experience on Weibo, once won a wonderful five kills, and turned his head to look at the barrage excitedly, but it was the same as in the past, and there was no one, and he could only smile bitterly.
As for the sao man, after living with Qiqi, he ate boiled noodles in white water until he wanted to vomit, and went downstairs to eat a rice bowl to improve his life, and his own puppy was born, because of the difficulties of life can only be sold, and then after getting the first website signing money, he went to find a buyer as soon as possible, and begged to hug the puppy, relying on the difficult life, they are no longer just a pet.
The comic circle, which developed earlier than the e-sports circle, is in a much more serious situation.
In Shada's April Story, there is a short silent map, and at the end of the story, the lights are on, and the heroine is in a strange city, standing under the street lamp, crying alone.
The inspiration for this scene came from Xia Da's experience, because she once suddenly cried on the streets of Beijing, but not because of her first love, but because of hunger.
It doesn't matter what the family conditions are, any adult or older person who grows up and has an income, even if he is hungry, rarely asks his parents for money at home.
Lin Mu noticed that the little Lori in Xia Da's arms was looking at the cat on Xia Da's shoulder with wide eyes.
That cat should be called "Mimi", right?
She bought it from a cat dealer for 20 yuan, because at the cat dealer, the cat was extremely hungry and thin, and she saw it at the time, and she couldn't bear it, so she bought it.
At the beginning, Xia Da and his friends had a difficult life, and after he borrowed the rent money from his friend Gu Qiang, he was embarrassed to speak again, so he could only endure hunger, but people can endure it, how can cats know how to endure?
Listening to the cat's wailing in the house, Xia Da had no money in his hand, so his friends had to buy a ham sausage with a few dollars in his pocket, which became the cat's food for a few days.
In the end, they still couldn't wait for the wages to be paid, but their friends came to hear the news, brought a bunch of meat and vegetables, and cooked them several meals.
Friends, sometimes it can really save lives
Of course, girls always love beauty, and when the long-awaited manuscript fee is sent, in addition to taking the cat to eat first, you also have to go shopping to buy clothes and fulfill every girl's dream.
It's just that they are visiting the "Zoo Wholesale Market" near the Beijing Zoo, where clothes are cheap, and there are countless clothes that can be bought for ten or twenty yuan.
Here, they can use all means of bargaining, pretending to be cute, pretending to be pitiful, and lying that they are still students
When they found a shop that sold all kinds of white dresses, each for only 20 yuan, they happily bought three or four at once, first as formal clothes, and then wrinkled and unwound, and wore them as pajamas.
Over the years, many comic exhibitions have been held in China, and Xia Da at the art exhibition was well-dressed and matched with her baby face, which once amazed many people.
It's just that many people don't know that this "beautiful Shada" has clothes that they can't imagine as cheap.
Of course, these are just the states she was in when she first entered the industry, and it came from the mouth of a friend of Xia Da, and maybe some of them helped Xia Da speak, but the early life of a comic book author was difficult, which was indeed a very common thing.
After Xia Da gained a firm foothold in the circle, especially after she went to the Spring Festival Gala last year, her popularity has increased significantly, and her living conditions have improved a lot, even outsiders, many people know her because of the Spring Festival Gala.
If there is no accident, even with Summer Island's exploitation of copyright, with her status as a "god in the comic circle", she can live well, and even as she becomes more and more famous, even if there is a squeeze from Summer Island, she will get a higher income.
This is not the conscience discovery of Xia Island, just like the three young people of the Tang family, who originally had hundreds of millions of royalties a year, and now you give him one million a year, can this be said to be a conscience discovery?
It's just that most of the authors obviously don't have the opportunity and conditions like her, and when the author confirmation letter from Summer Island was sent, she couldn't bear such a contract anymore and took the lead in resisting, and it was under Xia Da's appeal that the entire comic circle would be held together as a whole.
If in a few years, relying on Xia Da's popularity and social status, this matter will become a very lively storm in the society, but although Xia Da, who has just appeared on the Spring Festival Gala for a year, has increased his income a lot, his social popularity is obviously still too weak, so the current resistance of the comic circle seems to be very weak.
Xia Da has a baby face, and even now, she looks like a girl who walked out of a picture scroll, perhaps it is precisely because of this image that many people like her.
But in fact, she was born in 1981, and her actual age is a few years older than Lin Mu, just like Zhu Lin, the actor of the king of the daughter country, it is difficult for the years to leave traces on them.
Lin Mu looked at everyone's faces, nodded and smiled: "It seems that these things I brought are useless, with your help Xia Da, everyone can't be hungry for the time being." ”
Xia Da is indeed as afraid of life as rumored, and there are some comic book authors who are unique to the house, he lowered his head and blushed and shook Lin Mu's hand and said softly: "No, no, we are all grateful to you." Now most people are laughing at us, saying that we don't understand the truth that 'family ugliness should not be publicized', that we are too cowardly to resist, that we are treacherous and that we have broken the contract we have signed.
But who can understand our situation except us cartoonists?"
ps: Thank you for the 500 reward of 194xxx04, I just saw that there is a friend in the creation of a thousand illusions to reward 588, which is the highest in the current world, my city's results are not good, I didn't expect that there are friends willing to support, less chong infinite gratitude.
In reality, Xia Da, who appeared on the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Rabbit in 2011, publicly rebelled against Summer Island on December 11, 2016, ending his 10-year cooperation with Summer Island, and in September 2017, that is, recently, he announced on Weibo that his contract with Summer Island expired and would re-debut as a freelance writer.
Shao Chong checked a lot of information, including the beginning and end of the turmoil on Summer Island, the appearance of the buildings on Summer Island, the memoirs of Xia Da's friends, and the influence of various wind reviews, and also saw the attitudes of many circles and outsiders.
However, it is difficult to find about Xia Da's living conditions on the Internet, but I found that at the 8th China International Animation Festival in 2012, Xia Da was wearing a blue satin dress, which inferred that in 2012, Xia Da's living conditions should have improved.
Just like the example of Tang Jiasan in the article, this does not mean that Summer Island gives him a generous manuscript fee, and with Xia Da's popularity, it is normal for the income to exceed 100 million, and all the copyrights are taken away by Summer Island, which is really an abnormal thing.
Shaochong tried his best to collect information, but because he was not a veteran in the comic industry, there must have been a lot of omissions and mistakes, and I hope that some omissions can be understood and corrected by everyone.
In addition, Zhonglin Mu did this thing at the beginning of 2012, and it is so many years different from reality.
In addition, Shao Chong wants to make this plot more readable, and there is more Lin Mu, so don't scold Shao Chong for being "different from reality".
Shao Chong tried his best to find a balance between "reproducing the development of the realistic plot" and "higher reading fun", thank you.
The reason why this passage is posted in the text is that Shaochong has tasted too many pirated readers because they can't see "the author's words, what this chapter says", so they came to the genuine comment area to scold Shaochong's experience, these few hundred words are estimated to be only one or two cents, everyone knows and can understand a little more about this plot, it shouldn't be less Chong cheating money, right?
In the end, Shao Chong also saw that there were many remarks on the Internet condemning Xia Da and the comic book author, among their reasons, the comic book author exaggerated his difficult situation, said that Xia Da's family conditions are good, her personality is not demure, and sometimes she is irritable, and she herself is also very rich, and other accusations of the author, saying that the author's denunciation is just a competition for the interests of Xia Island, and there are even posts like "I hate Xia Da" on Baidu.
In these remarks, Shao Chong did not find that they objectively evaluated Xia Dao's forcible copyright grabbing, and it seemed that in their opinion, as long as it was a conflict of interests, there was nothing good for both sides.
But isn't it a matter of course for a laborer to ask for his own rightful income?
can make most of the authors in a circle angry, and all the 5 top authors under it leave, is this just the author's desire for profit?
With that kind of overlord clause, I believe that every reader can distinguish between right and wrong, and less chong does not affect everyone's opinion.
But in this matter, Shaochong is on the side of Xia Da and the author, if there are readers who stand on the side of Summer Island who feel that Shaochong's writing is not objective, it is also a helpless thing, Shaochong can't do it on the side of Summer Island where the copyright is grabbed
Finally, I sincerely thank every genuine reader, it is with you, Shaochong, these online writers, that do not have to be like their peers in the comic circle, who are controlled by a group of garbage to control their own destiny
Thank you!r
