Chapter 6 Start Drawing Comics Today Next
When Xia Ziyu went to the toilet this night, she also found that there was a light in Tang Xiaoyu's room, looking at the time, it should have long passed her previous work and rest time.
However, he didn't bother others, but quietly returned to his room and started reading comics again.
No way, he just saw the interesting comics, which made him a little unstoppable, and he fought all night to watch both "The King of Comics" and "Madoka Magical Girl", and he fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night.
When I woke up the next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and breakfast was ready outside, but the landlady had already gone to work.
Xia Ziyu sat in the living room eating breakfast, holding the comic magazine he bought yesterday, which contained a lot of content, all kinds of gossip in the comic industry, such as how many copies of the new circulation of the comic magazine were published, which cartoonist's work was about to end recently, and the editor of a certain comic magazine was reported for being obscene with a new female cartoonist and was arrested.
Then he turned to a new page, which was a table of the top 100 comics in terms of sales.
There are many names listed on it, but Xia Ziyu saw that the number one on the list was "Magical Beautiful Girl", and it was also noted that the serialized magazine was Vitality Girl Weekly.
"I didn't expect this comic book to be so popular, with 30 million sales per book, and an average of 10 million sales per book. ”
Then turning the next page, Xia Ziyu's eyes shrank, and when he saw the place where the author was interviewed, Mie Takahashi invited many painters who like magical girl-themed comics to participate in the Magical Girl Manga Cup Competition!
At present, Vitality Girl Weekly is holding the Magical Girl Manga Cup, and the top three winning works will receive the opportunity to be serialized in Vitality Girl Weekly and have a generous prize.
Xia Ziyu didn't care about the prize money, but saw the format of this competition, there were still three months before the deadline, and it was also written on the submission website, and the votes for this work were completely voted by comic readers.
In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, each user's vote is a real vote, and only fans who buy this magazine or Vitality Girl Weekly can get a card with the ballot password on it, as long as you enter the password on the official website to get a vote.
Xia Ziyu shook the magazine and dropped out a small card, which was the voting card with the password written on it.
He followed the website link above and entered the official website of the organizer of this time, and this magical girl comic cup was co-organized by this comic talk magazine and Vitality Girl Weekly.
Entries can be viewed directly on the website, and anyone who likes the work can cast a vote.
He took a look, and the work with the most votes has not yet reached 20,000 votes, although it has been a month since the Magical Girl Comic Cup began, because of the rarity of votes, many comic fans have not voted in their hands at the first time, and most of them are ready to stay in the last week of the game to vote.
Because he saw the relevant post bar, there are now many fans who are canvassing for their favorite works, and the price of each ticket is five yuan.
Xia Ziyu was hesitant that he should draw that comic before, but now there is a good opportunity for him to take out "Madoka Magical Girl" to crush his opponent to his heart's content.
"Magical Girl Madoka" only has twelve words, compared to another "Explosive King" can be said to be a short story, although Madoka also has a Warcraft chapter, but the story of Warcraft is not connected to the main story, in three months, he can draw the entire twelve words.
As soon as he thought about it, he bought a scanner online and came back, and then began to fight for the next few months.
Xia Ziyu's concentration is very high, as long as he is immersed in one thing, he can completely concentrate on it, and the same is true for drawing comics.
The comic skills given by the system, coupled with his own painting skills, when he used the brush, he didn't feel too rusty, but the more he used it, the more he used it, the more comfortable it became.
Immersed in painting, he didn't even notice Tang Xiaoyu who came back.
Normally, at this time, Tang Xiaoyu doesn't have time to come back, she will first book a takeout delivery or make lunch by the way when she has breakfast, but today she bought vegetables and went home and went into the kitchen.
It wasn't until he heard the sound of a spatula hitting from the kitchen that he put down his paintbrush, rubbed his sore wrist, and lamented that being a cartoonist was really not an easy profession.
"Why did you come back so early?"
Xia Ziyu walked into the kitchen and saw the back of Tang Xiaoyu wearing an apron and slippers, just like the little wife at home cooking for him.
"Come back and cook for you, after all, the contract says that I want to pay for three meals. ”
Her voice was a little dry, Xia Ziyu only thought that she was a little choked at the spatula, and said without much care: "It's good to order a takeout, you don't have to go to such trouble to run back......"
As a result, before he could finish speaking, "You think I want to ......" She responded quickly, but immediately added, "It's unhealthy and expensive to eat takeout all the time." ”
Tang Xiaoyu's shoulders trembled a little, but because it was not obvious, Xia Ziyu couldn't see it at all, he was waiting at the dining table to serve the food.
Xia Ziyu sat there, feeling that today's landlord was still the same as yesterday, a little fierce, and I didn't know if it was the one who came, and she was in a bad mood.
The voice of the landlord came from the kitchen, "It's been so long since you moved in, why haven't you been seen working?"
In the past, even if the two of them sat at the dinner table and kept silent, Tang Xiaoyu would not take the initiative to speak out because of embarrassment, but today it is rare to ask him about things.
Xia Ziyu didn't intend to hide it, and replied directly: "I planned to enter this year's new star training class as a student, but I happened to see a magazine that said that there was a comic contest, so I started drawing comics." ”
This is illogical, fortunately it was said to the landlord, otherwise even ordinary people would be unable to help but complain when they heard it, "Do you have a half-dime relationship between going to be a star training student and participating in a comic competition?"
However, the landlady just said "um" and stopped talking, and Xia Ziyu, who felt that she was in a bad mood, also quietly waited for her to cook. The two of them are like this, one is playing with his mobile phone at the dinner table, the other is stir-frying in the kitchen, and the only sound in the room is the sound of a spatula.
Waiting for Tang Xiaoyu to bring the food to the table, Xia Ziyu found that her eyes were a little red, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with your eyes, are you crying?"
The landlady turned her head, avoiding his gaze, and explained, "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night, and I just got smoked again, and it'll be fine for a while." ”
The two sat down to eat, and she asked again, "Is it profitable to draw comics?"
I always felt that the landlord had more words today than before, but Xia Ziyu still replied: "Of course it's making money! Cartoonists have reached new highs in the past two years, among which the highest income is the cartoonist in District 11, the one named Mie Takahashi seems to have earned more than 100 million, and the average income of cartoonists this year is more than 200,000." ”
He only learned these things when he read magazines in the morning, and they fell on the ears of the landlady, that is, the comic industry is very rich, and all of them are high-income people.
She nodded thoughtfully, and stopped talking.
