Chapter 8 Two Choices
Maybe it's because the mosquitoes have been full, Zhao Chen slept quite soundly this night, rubbed his eyes that were still confused, Zhao Chen got up and got dressed, washed his face in a toilet of only a few square meters, and then grabbed a little salt and put it in his mouth to brush his teeth, with his family's economic level, he didn't even have a few towels, so naturally he couldn't afford the 'luxury' of toothbrushes and toothpaste.
After washing, Zhao Chen went out of the house and began to exercise outside, which was a habit brought by him in his previous life, and it was really a last resort.
Because drawing cartoons not only consumes the mind, but also often sits for several hours, many cartoonists only sleep 4 hours a day on average, and sometimes in order to catch up with the manuscript, there will be a day or two without sleeping, so how can the body stand it for a long time, especially the right hand, hips, waist and back of painting, these places will often be sick, and there has been a series of sudden death of cartoonists, only the combination of exercise and work and rest is the best way to avoid illness.
However, Zhao Chen is very poor now, and in order to catch up with the manuscript, he may not go without sleeping for a day or two, but he can still do it by sleeping only four hours a day.
This body looks thin and weak, but the body is not bad, which may be the reason why he is used to farm work, at least it is not worse than the body in his previous life, and it is much more malleable.
Zhao Chen exercised his body with military boxing, zama steps and push-ups, and after more than half an hour, he ran home a little panting.
In the next five days, Zhao Chen almost did the same thing, and often only slept for two or three hours, unless he couldn't stay up, he would not sleep, and he could only work hard to improve his family situation.
In these five days, due to Zhao Chen's hard work, a total of 42 pages were drawn, and the average daily volume reached an impressive early 8 pages, plus the 6 pages of sketches on the first day, a total of 48 pages were made in these six days.
And in these six days, the situation at home began to become more and more difficult, and sometimes he often faced the trend of being full and hungry, coupled with hard work, Zhao Chen's body felt a little unbearable.
Carefully tidy up the drawings and put them in a half-new plastic bag, no way, he doesn't have a paper clip at home.
Take a bus all the way to Chai Wan in the Eastern District, Chai Wan is an industrial area with polluted air all year round, and most newspapers, publishing houses and animation companies are located in Chai Wan.
Zhao Chen's first place to go was naturally Huang Yulang's Yulang International Co., Ltd., which he founded not long ago, after all, Huang Yulang is well-known in the Xiangjiang animation industry, and is faintly known as the first person in Xiangjiang comics. It was this preconceived notion that led it to become Zhao Chen's first target.
asked a few passers-by, maybe because most of the people here in Chai Wan are migrant workers, Zhao Chen did not receive the 'preferential treatment' when he was in Mong Kok, of course, because his clothes were patched several times, his return rate is still at a high-end level.
Zhao Chen sighed in his heart, it was still a matter of money, but he didn't pay too much attention to the eyes of these people, and still walked towards the location of Yulang International Co., Ltd. with his chest raised.
Halfway through, he went to a print shop, made a few copies of the comics, and bought a few briefcases before leaving. It's just that when he came out, the money in his pocket was only left for the trip back, which made him very entangled in his heart, and he must succeed today.
"I don't believe that the classics of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" will fail!" Zhao Chen still felt nervous in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly cheer himself up.
At this time, Yulang International Co., Ltd. was established less than a month ago, and Huang Yulang used his own fame to drive the company's exhibition, the whole company seemed very busy, and there were constantly employees holding various manuscripts in and out of various rooms, and there were also a few rooms that were still under renovation. Maybe in their eyes, Zhao Chen is a dirt bun in their eyes, and the most important thing is that Zhao Chen's age is too young, plus they still have important things to do, where will they have that free time to pay attention to him.
Just when Zhao Chen was a little overwhelmed and standing in place, a middle-aged man in a suit with a stern face walked towards him, and when he saw Zhao Chen's dress, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Are you in the wrong place, young man?"
"If this is Yulang International Co., Ltd., then there is nothing wrong with it." Zhao Chen observed carefully, and the busy staff nearby looked at the middle-aged man with obvious awe in their eyes, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, this person may be a senior executive of Yulang International Co., Ltd.
"That's really not wrong, I don't know what's going on? First of all, we at Yulang International Co., Ltd. will not recruit child labor! The middle-aged man nodded, and looked at Zhao Chen in front of him, especially when Zhao Chen's slightly immature face appeared, there was a clear expression on his face, and he thought that Zhao Chen was here to find a job, because Yulang International Co., Ltd. had just been established, and there were some vacancies in the director's position, including some jobs similar to coolies.
Zhao Chen's expression did not change, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, in his opinion, the middle-aged man's expression and tone obviously looked down on him!
"I'm here to contribute!" Raising the briefcase in his hand, Zhao Chen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Contributions? Then bring it to me and show me, I am Lin Shan, the editor-in-chief here! The middle-aged man was visibly surprised, and then identified himself.
Looking at Lin Shan's outstretched hand in front of him, Zhao Chen couldn't help frowning and said, "Editor-in-Chief Lin, is it just here to review the manuscript?" ”
"Right here!" Maybe it's a preconceived notion that the half-grown boy in front of him can't draw a good work at all, so he is ready to take a casual look, and then let him get out, he still has a lot of important things to do, how can he have so much spare time to accompany him.
Zhao Chen had no choice but to hand one of the briefcases to Lin Shan, he sighed in his heart, it seems that he will probably not have a good result this time, because Lin Shan's attitude is clear.
Judging from Zhao Chen's own vision, the beginning of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is actually not very outstanding, but its scenes and rhythm are very good, and the plots in it are even more interlocking, the fights make people's blood pump, and of course, there is also Huang Yi's ** wet and salty H picture, these may be the main reasons why "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is classic.
If you look at it in the novel version, it also has a flaw, that is, the article is too long and a bit procrastinating, and the characters of more than 500 characters are very awesome to say, but a few readers will remember it clearly, and often see characters who only appear a few times and will not remember. But even so, it's still a classic, and the manga version does a great deal to hide this flaw.
Lin Shan opened the briefcase and pulled out a copy of the original comic manuscript a little rudely, just glanced at it, and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes; He looks down on Zhao Chen, but as the editor-in-chief of a comic company, he naturally has a vision, and the characters on the original manuscript are quite good, the most important thing is the shape and painting style of the characters in it, he feels a little familiar, and it seems to be a little similar to his boss Huang Yulang.
Lin Shan's expression was a little more solemn, just standing in place and turning the pages one by one, when he saw that this was the double protagonist, he couldn't help but have a little more contempt in his eyes, he thought that the boy in front of him would not have this skill, it was easy to draw directly! So, although he thinks that the style of this comic is more to his liking, due to the fact that the double protagonist and the beginning plot are not outstanding, he has denied this comic in his heart.
"The painting is good.,But the plot at the beginning isn't too brilliant.,The most important thing is that your comic should be set with two protagonists.,Do you think you can draw the plot behind it? I won't say much, for the sake of the good painting style, I can give you two choices! ”
Lin Shan said his opinions on the comics of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", maybe there are some preconceived notions in it, but his evaluation is actually not too bad, because whether it is in the novel world or the comic industry, the two protagonists are difficult to master, but once they are successful, they are basically classics.
"Editor-in-Chief Lin, then what are the two choices first?" Zhao Chen's heart sank, although he knew in his heart that the choice given by Lin Shan was not good, he still had a hope in his heart!
