Chapter 161: Celebration Banquet (II)

…… Experience, drawing skills and plot ideas.

Under Limu's three questions, Aunt Yan finally understood that what her child had to do now was to learn to paint and mature his painting skills first. Thinking about money is a bit of a quick success, and even if you can draw a manga after two or three years, it will be difficult to make money. Children have to leave school and go to work – walk more, see more, learn more, experience more.

Something that can only be drawn by accumulating enough experience is meaningful, otherwise you can only draw fantasy manga by relying on "talent". Some people understand, others don't. The girl who fought the dragon probably felt that the three questions were too close, and she felt that Limu had an aggressive posture.

"But you're only over 10 years old, why can you draw?!" She spoke for the strange aunt.

Aunt Yan's children don't have enough experience, drawing skills and thinking to draw comics at the age of 12, and children younger than him should be worse than him. The dragon girl was not skeptical of Riki's remarks, on the contrary, she felt that it made sense. However, the fact of age in front of us cannot but make people doubt this statement, and the contradiction between reality and theory is very puzzling.

If the real answer is revealed, it will definitely cause an uproar, and Riki will certainly not dig his own grave.

"Painting is about talent, and obviously I have that talent, or I need to be talented in everything. But don't be discouraged, as long as you don't have even 1% talent, with more time and effort, everyone can learn to draw comics. Riki smiled gently. Aunt Yan's child wants to draw comics, but no one can say that the child can't do it before trying it, maybe after drawing it, he will find that he has great potential?

Riki knows that he is not talented in drawing comics, but in his previous life, from elementary school to marrying a wife and having children, he has accumulated more than ten years of experience in bits and pieces. But learning to draw comics does not mean that he immediately becomes a cartoonist, and even now he feels that he is not a cartoonist, and plagiarizing other people's comics can only be said to be an ordinary "copying artist...... For the sake of money, in order to practice drawing skills, in order not to read repetitive comics, I have to do it.

"As for life experience, have any of you ever been to BJ? Has anyone ever been to the United States? "Limu has done a lot of work before, traveled to many places to work, and there are several cities such as Hangzhou, HLJ, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong that I haven't said. At this moment, he asked other questions in a dignified manner, "...... Who has participated in the Primary School Math Olympiad? And finally won the first place and was removed? Who has taken the American Math Contest and the American Invitational?

"—you don't have that kind of experience, right?"

The dragon girl couldn't help but smile wryly. Not to mention that he participated in the Olympiad and won the championship and was withdrawn, it is the Olympiad itself - I have never participated. The experience of the ups and downs of the children in front of them is not accessible to ordinary people.

"Nope."

"Nope."

The dragon dance team shook their heads. Waiting for their answer before Riki continued:

"There are many ways to get experience. For example, I can increase my experience when reading books, even if I am busy, I will insist on reading one book every week, although the speed can only be called the middle and lower level, fifty times slower than the runner-up, but I read all 'good books'. I read private novels or half-private fantasy novels, and I only read full-fantasy works for recreation, after all, all-fantasy works are of little significance to my comic creation.

"It's not that fantasy works aren't good-looking, it's just that I can't use the knowledge of second fantasy as a foundation for three fantasies. As a manga professional, even obscure books should be read hard...... Fantasy works are actually very popular, and the genius novelist Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who is known for his delicate writing, is famous for his fantasy novels, but unfortunately the transformation failed in the era when private novels were gradually rampant, and he chose to commit suicide in desperation. ”

"Do you still need to be so tired of drawing comics? Also taking such a big risk? Hearing that the creator would commit suicide, the dragon dance captain was very surprised.

"None of the working-class jobs are easy, and we are all the objects of exploitation from above. And do you think that I can draw a copy of "Qin Shi Mingyue" and only consult a copy of "Spring and Autumn"? "What Riki said is the truth.

After reading a book, it's good to remember the characters, timelines, and events. He is not a genius who memorizes the dialogue of the characters word by word, and the materials that should be re-read still need to be read by hand.

"Well, it can't ...... bar. When answering this, the dragon dance captain was actually thinking about what kind of book "Spring and Autumn" was.

"Well, hearing you say that, I suddenly have a sense of awe for the creator. Now when I think that those excellent comics were drawn with great painstaking efforts, I feel a lot of reverence in my heart. The dragon girl looked at Riki and echoed the captain's statement.

"Then Fullmetal Alchemist is a fantasy manga that is not worth watching, right?" Aunt Yan asked. This is her child's favorite comic, and since Kirinzi said that it was not worth watching, he won't buy it for him in the future.

"Don't underestimate "Steel Forge", the background, characters, and military rank settings are all very close to reality, but this reality is a little far away from our time, which makes alchemy look a little illusory."

"That's really—Riki and he are colleagues." The dragon girl smiled, thinking that Riki was defending her colleagues, "You just said that there are other ways to gain experience, is there any other way?" ”

"Well, the best way to do this is to be observant and curious." Riki said, "By the way, I was asking you about your appearance fees, sources of income, and lifestyle habits, but I was actually stealing your life experience, and the image and surname of each of you are in my mind, and I can draw the character I want without thinking too much about drawing manga." ”

"Ahh You're going to draw us into a comic? ”

The dragon girl screamed and was drawn on the comics...... How humiliating that is!

Limu is embarrassed, who said that the dragon dance team should be drawn? Even if you count the other five comics, based on the last rate of 1/1300, the entire village plus tenants, a total of more than 3,000 people, may not buy three copies. However, since it is the "birthplace" of "Qin Shi", there will be no shortage of people who buy this comic alone.

"Haha, I'm going to draw you into the lion dance troupe of "Qin Shi".

Riki simply laughed a few times to scare them. Maybe this time the threat was the wrong target, but after the lion dance team was stunned for a moment, they actually shouted that they remembered to write down their phone numbers.

"Then you're going to draw a phone number for us." Unceremoniously made additional requests.

- Nima pit father, do you want me to draw a phone number during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?

Where to draw? Is it on the sword body of the hundred-step flying sword? What's more, "Qin Shi" does not have a dragon dance plot at all.

- You guys are whimsical......

He was just about to point out a clear path for the dragon dance team, when suddenly someone spotted him.

"Riki, you're here." Liang Minjing shouted in a loud voice before she reached the table of the dragon dance team, "How can you mix with them, come and chat with the secretary." ”

Limu, who was applauded, narrowed her eyes, and Aunt Yan also frowned, and the expression of the dragon dance team, who was regarded as a third-class and ninth-rate person, was not much better.

"Do you want to go over?"

The dragon dance captain's voice was a little reserved. Limu just nodded and jumped off the chair, it didn't hurt to go for the sake of family harmony, it was right to obey Grandma's wishes. Today is supposed to be a celebration banquet for the math competition, so I really shouldn't have come to the end to talk about comics so happily......

……

After three rounds of drinking, dusk and night.

The street lamps on the side of the embankment were lit together, and the banquet was more atmospheric under the background of the starry sky. A few big yellow dogs wandered around under the table, picking up bones without meat. The child looked pitiful, picked up a large number of chicken and duck bones with meat pieces and threw them down, and the contact attracted a lesson from the parents.

Since tomorrow is not a weekend, some villagers and all the students left the banquet after eating. However, the banquet continued until the last of the drunkards left. Some villagers designated by the village cadres were responsible for the finishing, and the tables were collected by the restaurants that lent tables and chairs.

The count was correct, and the large truck full of tables and chairs turned around and left.
