Chapter 65: Robots Don't Cry
Although he was accused of being a big liar by Jiang Xiyao, Meng Zhe's statement received quite good praise from his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Even, as the mother of two big loli, Hu Caiwei can't wait to see how cute and beautiful her two daughters will become when they wear the same clothes as the characters in the comics.
Meng Zhe is a reborn after all, even the characters he draws at random are too far ahead of this era in terms of clothing and clothing, not to mention the well-drawn heroine?
This problem is actually too easy to solve, go to an old tailor with exquisite craftsmanship, accurately measure the body size of three people, choose the fabric, and then customize it...... As long as you are willing to spend money, what clothes can't be made?
However, although the 90s was still an era of tailor shops, there were no tailors with top-level craftsmanship in a small place like Wufeng County, so Meng Zhe planned to go to the provincial capital to order.
"In the Xiyuan Gate of the provincial capital, there is a tailor Master Zhang who is very skilled, and an aunt has a distant cousin who asked Master Zhang to make clothes. She took a copy of "Popular Movie" at that time, and within a few days, the clothes were ready as soon as she touched the stills of the actors in the magazine! The dress that my aunt has seen, whether it is the style or stitches, is indeed not something that ordinary tailors can make......"
Hu Caiwei agreed with Meng Zhe's idea, and unlike Meng Zhe who planned to see it later, Hu Caiwei had even chosen a tailor master to make clothes - Hu Caiwei was a woman after all, and her beauty-loving surname made her very proficient in these knowledge.
"By the way, Xiao Zhe, you also have to order two sets of clothes, after all, you are going abroad. Lao Jiang, why don't we go to the provincial capital with Xiao Zhe and their family on a weekend, and make two sets of clothes for one person, how about it? Hu Caiwei gently pushed her husband Jiang Bai and asked, and after thinking about it, she added: "I almost forgot, and that little girl named Guan Yingluo." ”
When Guan Yingluo's name was mentioned, Hu Caiwei glanced at Meng Zhe intentionally or unintentionally, but Meng Zhe remained upright and sat upright, motionless like a mountain.
Although, Meng Zhe, who had a serious face, was actually complaining in his heart: My mother-in-law, your son-in-law and I are stealing incense and stealing jade...... You don't have to tempt me so much, do you?
Probably very satisfied with Meng Zhe's reaction, Hu Caiwei quickly withdrew his gaze with a smile, and at this time Jiang Bai finally spoke to Hu Caiwei: "There are too many things in the printing house, and those new machines and new workers will have an accident if they don't look at it for a while, just take Xiao Zhe and Xun'er Mei'er to the provincial capital alone, I won't go." ”
"The printing house is really a problem right now, okay then...... Anyway, if you don't go to the sizes you need to make clothes, I can tell that Master Zhang. ”
Hu Caiwei had a slightly disappointed expression, but she didn't say much.
"Uncle Jiang, I think you should train a deputy, so that when you go on a trip together during the summer vacation, you can have nothing to worry about."
Meng Zhe, who saw the change in the expression of his future mother-in-law, hurriedly said in a half-cute and half-suggestive manner, the relationship between his father-in-law and mother-in-law is harmonious, and his hairy-footed son-in-law has a good life, right?
"This is also ......" Jiang Bai touched his chin full of stubble, and felt that what Meng Zhe said was indeed right, he couldn't be staring at the printing house twenty-four hours a day, right? Sure enough, I need to train a deputy to help me do things!
…… In short, on the grounds that he needed the help of the Jiang family's two big lolis to cosplay publicity, he successfully persuaded his future parents-in-law to go to Yuben to play together during the summer vacation, and when he returned home, he had a similar excuse to convince his parents.
But then, Meng Zhe fell into the siege and interception of the Shueisha editor Yoshida, every day Yoshida would hold a briefcase containing a large stack of beautiful girl photos, chasing Meng Zhe to get the copyright of "Digimon" and "Princess Huanzhu", of course, he did not forget to continue to urge Meng Zhe and ask Meng Zhe to draw those colorful comic pictures...... By the way, there is also hope that Meng Zhe will plan a trip that will only be carried out during the summer vacation, and ask for it in advance.
However, because the birth of the two big Loli is approaching, Meng Zhe went into his office after finishing the painting task every day, locked the door and made the gift of Shengyue.
Yoshida, who was left to hang, had to repeatedly call Shueisha headquarters to ask for instructions, and according to Shueisha's instructions, he continued to increase the price bars.
In the midst of this chaos, Meng Zhe's Jiji Animation Studio quietly recruited enough manpower, and the long-form serials on "Anime Boy" have also increased to more than ten - in addition to "Chess Soul", "Atavism", "Light Sound Girl", "Digimon", "Xiaoshan Yueji", "Princess Huanzhu", "Legend of the Son of Heaven", these eight high-profile old novels are serialized, and the two new novels are: Guangdong Eleven Tigers "Labor is the Most Glorious", Zheng Xusheng "Robots Don't Cry".
After Meng Zhe rejected the manuscript of "Wings of Heaven" and wrote a letter to the past, the Guangdong Eleven Tigers finally repented, changed their thinking, and mailed a new long sketch "The Most Glorious Labor" after more than a month of silence.
Although the name is very slogan-like, the story of this comic is indeed very interesting - in the future society, because of the massive use of robots, ordinary people will be deprived of the right to manual labor, and only a few wealthy people can spend a lot of money to obtain the right to manual labor that others envy.
The protagonist of the comic is a 3A-level felony who has committed more than 100 serious violations of the law and does not spend money on manual labor, and then this protagonist accidentally travels through the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China when he tries to escape from prison and continue to participate in illegal labor.
When it is discovered that in the post-post-aging era, labor can not only be done without breaking the law, but can also be paid, and even social status, the protagonist of the manga shouts 'Ah! It's the best of times! Then there was a series of ridiculous stories...... After reading the manuscript, Meng Zhe did not hesitate to give this "The Most Glorious Labor" opportunity to be serialized, and it was an opportunity to recommend the frontispiece color page.
For this reason, the editor in charge of the Guangdong Eleventh Tigers had to travel thousands of miles to Guangdong to sign long-form serial contracts and various copyright contracts with the Guangdong Eleventh Tigers.
Of course, the editor in charge also has a task, which is to do his best to abduct the Guangdong Eleven Tigers to Tianjiao Society, and if the abduction fails, he must also assist the Guangdong Eleven Tigers to establish a personal comic studio...... Serialized long-form comics are different from short-form comics, so how can you do without a fixed studio?
As for Zheng Xusheng's "Robots Don't Cry", the story content can be vaguely imagined from the name, in the interaction with the human master, the intelligent robot has the feelings and 'heart' that only human beings have, and then its owner did not overcome the ruthless years, standing in front of the owner's tombstone, the robot has the emotion of wanting to cry for the first time, and in order to cry out, it begins to work hard to become a human who can cry...... Generally speaking, if Guangdong Eleven Tigers' "Labor is the Most Glorious" is a normal juvenile comic, "Robots Don't Cry" is more like a healing comic dressed in science fiction, but what does it matter?
After a few months of assistant experience and the grinding of short stories, Zheng Xusheng's painting skills have been greatly improved when he first arrived at Tianjiao Club, plus the original author of this "Robot Doesn't Cry" is not not bad at scripts, but a female author who has been contributing to Tianjiao Club since Meng Zhe opened the city setting of the comprehensive comics, and has been favored by Meng Zhe for several short stories...... "Robots Don't Cry" has successfully cured a large number of teenagers and girls after the animation teenagers in the second half of April began to be serialized. A large number of readers' letters and the popularity of the second place in the current issue, as long as there is no deviation in the follow-up plot or anything, Zheng Xusheng has become a first-line author of Tianjiao Club It is already an ironclad thing.
The first full-length serialization of "Anime Boy" to be cut in half also appeared, and the ranking has already fallen to 15 places, and even many short stories in the current issue can't spell "Old Master", there is no doubt that he has won this somewhat humiliating 'honor'.
On April 20, Kong Lan, who was still staying in Yanjing, called Meng Zhe at half past six in the evening, and she asked Meng Zhe to watch the 'news broadcast' that was about to start at seven o'clock, but did not say what would be broadcast on the news broadcast.
What news will be broadcast on the news network?
With such a question, Meng Zhe put down the pencil and returned home, after the usual leader of the internal and external affairs activities broadcast, Meng Zhe saw two news that interested him - the first news was: "The NCFC project is connected to the 64K international special line of INTE through the American Sprint company, which realizes the full-featured connection with INTE, and China officially becomes a country with INTE!" ”
The second piece of news is: "Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park, the world's first for-profit Internet service provision place - Mahuateng Internet Cafe." ”
Is there finally an Internet?
In two days, go to the telecommunications bureau to apply for a dial-up network!
Meng Zhe thought like this, he was really curious about what the Internet was like when it was just opened.
As for what twist vine network café...... Meng Zhe is thinking about what kind of Internet café is this, could it be an Internet café borrowed from the painting in "Chess Soul"?
Before he finished thinking about it, Meng Zhe found that the picture in the news broadcast turned around, and suddenly a parent with a few comic magazines and a copy of "Painting King Boy" suddenly appeared at the top, and when he looked at the camera, he complained that since his son became obsessed with these bad, pirated comics full of murder and violence, his academic performance has plummeted...... After almost half a minute of the parents' complaint, the camera turned to the surging book market again, and then the announcer began to tell the harm and bad effects of pirated comics in a calm tone, and announced that the state would sweep and crack down on the pirated comic market, and give the children a clean sky.
After announcing that it would crack down on illegal comic publications led by "Picture King Boy", two excellent genuine magazines that were determined to be healthy and suitable for teenagers appeared on the television screen -- "Science Fiction World" and "Anime Shonen".
Seeing this, Meng Zhe patted his head and shouted: "Oops, salt boiling water!" Forgot to dig up salt boiling water! ”
