Chapter 45: Popularity is climbing
Every cartoonist will have their own self-portraits, some sell cute spoofs, and some try to blacken themselves, Zhang Yao has seen a lot of them in his previous life, but he has never painted a portrait of himself, because no one has seen it at all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Many cartoonists use self-portraits to integrate themselves into the second dimension, and from time to time they make cameos in their works, and the air knowledge orangutan often does such things.
It is not clear how self-portrait became popular, but since it is a convention, there is no need for him to be a maverick, and so many readers are interested in his identity, so he simply responds here.
After thinking about it carefully, combined with selling cuteness and self-blackening, Zhang Yao created a self-portrait for herself, so in the latest issue of the serial, readers found that there was a cute kitten in the interactive column, the two eyes were ♂♀ symbols, and there were conspicuous marks on the side, this is me.
For such a self-portrait, everyone praised it, even Yunshang didn't complain, but said: "For a girl, this phenomenon is too appropriate, except for maliciously selling cuteness and selling a little stinky and beautiful." ”
"But the readers' questions still haven't been answered." Xu Xiaowei said weakly, and Zhang Yao smashed it with a knife, "Don't talk too much." ”
Xu Xiaowei held his head with his hands and tears in his eyes, "Obviously I really didn't answer." ”
Responding with a self-portrait is exactly the same as not responding, the reader still doesn't know how old she is, what she looks like, and even doesn't know her gender, although Zhang Yao still reveals this very clearly.
However, the reader is quite satisfied with this response, and does not continue to entangle, no one will be more serious about this kind of thing, and the reader and the cartoonist are happy to fight wits and courage.
Of course, it is mainly the cartoonist who flirts with the reader, and the reader is as depressed and enjoying the process as he shakes M......
"Well, here's a letter from a reader in this issue." When I came again, I also brought a large number of letters from readers, and it seems that this will become the norm in the future.
Zhang Yao's eyes turned green when she saw it, "Sister Yexi, you are my editor, not to mention that this kind of thing is completely done for you, at least you have to help, right?" Don't blame me for all the letters. ”
Yexi said with a smile: "As an editor, of course, this is also one of my jobs, so in fact, I have already read some of them, and I am also very interested in many readers' questions." ”
"What's the problem?" Zhang Yao suspiciously grabbed the letter and read it.
"What about Bulma, what about Bulma...... "Xu Xiaowei was chattering vigorously on the side, Zhang Yao didn't even think about it, and he slapped the knife again, "What are you messing with." ”
Sure enough, in the face of such a confused bastard, if you don't bully you, you'll be sorry for yourself.
"Teacher, the letter says that this reader is repeating this sentence for an entire page." Xu Xiaowei expressed her grievances with tears in her eyes.
"The same is true of this one, and the words are very intense." Su Yunsleeve followed and handed over a letter, Zhang Yao glanced at it, and there was one sentence on it: Bastard, return my Bulma to me.
Seeing such a posture, Zhang Yao roughly understood, and said, "So, the question now is the reason why Bulma hasn't appeared for too long?" Obviously, it has already appeared at the martial arts meeting. ”
Yun Sheng said in a mocking tone on the side: "If you come out and make soy sauce, you can say the same." ”
"I'm not a love comic, how can I revolve around the heroine every day." Zhang Yao really doesn't think so, even if Sun Wukong is already CP with Bulma, there is no need to get tired of being together every day, right?
What's the point? Show affection? Dog abuse?
Ye Xi drank tea leisurely, and said: "Bulma himself doesn't know martial arts, and the martial arts will be based on cultivation, so it is indeed appropriate to come out as a public to make soy sauce." The reader's opinion needs to be considered, but it must not confuse the reader. ”
"Comrade." It was rare to be recognized by Yexi once, Zhang Yao burst into tears, and only said after a long while: "Since you also think so, then your so-called problem is?" ”
Yexi continued: "There is no problem with the martial arts volume, but judging from the detailed outline you gave me, Wukong went to look for the Dragon Ball again, and when he encountered the Red Silk Army, Bulma still disappeared again." ”
"It's not just Bulma, I've also seen the outline, and Xiaolin has also disappeared." Every now and then, Yunshang must be burning with tar, "So I want to ask, what is the point of arranging the role of Xiaolin to appear?" Just to have a companion when cultivating? ”
Many comic stories are actually written by cartoonists and editors together, and some editors even need to control the plot direction of the entire work, which is dominant in terms of script.
Yexi doesn't interfere too much with Zhang Yao's creation, as long as the plot direction is "correct" and doesn't drop the chain, it's more like supervising Zhang Yao not to make mistakes, unless it is necessary for Zhang Yao to take the initiative to speak, otherwise she will not participate in the creation of the plot.
If all the drawings are re-reviewed, she will revise and redraw the manuscript after rejecting it, and the time may not be in a hurry.
Organize a detailed outline in advance, and the general direction of the plot will be certain, which will be much more convenient, and any problems can be found in advance, such as now.
"The teacher seemed to have said that Bulma didn't participate in the school because she went to school." Xu Xiaowei's assistant also seems to have an opinion on this, is it really too perfunctory?
Even if it's not a love comic, it's not okay for the heroine to be hidden for too long, of course Zhang Yao herself knows it, so she raised her head and said: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements for this, and it won't take a few words for Bulma to appear again." ”
Akira Toriyama may have also noticed this problem in the original work, so Bulma also appeared in the Red Silk Army Scroll of the Great War, although the heroine and Sun Wukong in the original work are not a couple.
"Well, since you've arranged for Bulma to go to school, wouldn't it be a bit abrupt to show up again? Not very reasonable. ”
"Bulma is a genius, why do you need to go to school...... Well, this reason is a bit nonsense, then let her have a week or a vacation, Bulma obviously prefers exciting adventures to something as boring as school. ”
"It sounds reasonable, but I don't always feel right." Yunshang couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"Teacher, you're talking too casually." Xu Xiaowei said this and gave himself another hand knife.
Zhang Yao's attitude seems to be a little casual, but this little episode is finally over, and Yexi is so cautious, in fact, it is also because the popularity of "Dragon Ball" has been increasing, and now it has run to the top ten.
And the editorial department is very optimistic about this work, thinking that there will be more room for improvement if the standard is maintained, so it is necessary to be cautious, and it would be a tragedy if the work was destroyed because of some small mistakes.
I have to say that the people in the editorial department of the solo singing group are still very high-level, and they can see at a glance that "Dragon Ball" has a bright future, Zhang Yao is very satisfied with this, and a little proud.
"In the last issue of the readers' survey, Dragon Ball was ranked eighth, and now the pressure is all on the top seven works." Although Yunshang usually complains to Zhang Yao, she is still quite excited about such a result.
"Not only is the story wonderful, but the characters of Dragon Ball are also very well portrayed, although the turtle immortals are sexual, but as a teacher, they are very qualified, and they are also loved by many readers."
Just to give Wukong and Xiaolin people the truth that there are people outside the sky, the turtle immortal is out of the way to compete, as a teacher, he is indeed much stronger than the old enemy crane immortal.
That's why Tianjin rice and dumplings will be backwater in the end.
What the turtle immortal handed over to his disciple is not only martial arts, but also the truth of being a human being, although it seems unbelievable, but it is true, this is the success of a character.
Once again, they stayed in the activity room until dark, Zhang Yao and the others packed up their things and prepared to go home, after stepping out of the school gate, the cold wind blew in their faces and felt extremely cold, Zhang Yao had already added another coat to the school uniform, and still shivered.
"The weather is getting colder and colder, when will this winter pass?" The group did not say goodbye immediately, but walked leisurely to the subway station, standing in the cold wind, although it was very cold, but still reluctant to say goodbye immediately.
Then chatting and taking a walk together, it is worth it compared to being cold.
"It's still early for the Winter Doujin Exhibition.,Winter can't be so easy to pass.。 Yun Sheng put her hands in her pockets and walked with her head held high, which was in stark contrast to Zhang Yao.
Speaking of the same exhibition,Ye Xi asked with a smile",I remember that you guys are still working hard to make games.,Are you really not going to participate in the winter fan exhibition?" ”
"Actually, I think I should participate.,Although the night of fate hasn't been completed yet.,But the next volume of Love Ji Wushuang has been completed.,There are still more than 30 copies of the T28 volume that haven't been sold out.,It's completely possible to bundle it up and sell it.,Even if it's the Plus version.,You can also add a limited amount of boo.。
Zhang Yao shook his index finger and continued to make irresponsible remarks, "It's originally a game, and no matter what it is, as long as the upper limit is added, the sales will not be bad." ”
"We have to be the conscience of the industry, how can we be so pitiful." Speaking of the game Yunshang's obsession is extremely strong, Zhang Yao's self-righteous idea is not the first time that she has been vetoed.
"Teacher, do you still do fangames? It's amazing. "Xu Xiao's only face of worship.
Yexi smiled and said, "Xiao Wei, did you know until now?" It's not a good idea, I thought you'd already be on board. ”
"Ahem." Zhang Yao couldn't help coughing dryly twice, and Yun Sheng twisted her head to the side and whistled casually.
