Chapter Eighty-Six: Can't Be Fired
Mo Wangqiu really regretted that he didn't change his mistake and impulsively listened to Sakura Ayane's nonsense.
"Isn't this Mo Wangqiu? What is a person sighing and sighing here? What's so good...... Sad things? β
Mo Wangqiu now thinks about it, Sakura Ayane's expression at that time was not a kind smile at all, but a demonic smile.
"Can you trust me, you ask? Absolutely! Don't hesitate to talk to me. β
Mo Wangqiu was very moved in his heart, so he told her about the accident that happened when he invited Xue Xia Xue Nai to the house to suck the cat, although Xue Xue Nai didn't say anything afterwards, but Mo Wangqiu obviously felt that the other party's attitude towards him was a lot colder, and the favorability that he had managed to brush up before was pitted.
It's just that he found the wrong person to talk to......
"Oh, I see." Sakura Ayane finally revealed her true form, tore off the bewildering beautiful girl mask, pointed at Mo Wangqiu's nose very magically and said, "Lord Ben announced, Mo Wangqiu, your high school life is over!" β
And then......
Obviously he is the president of the two-dimensional culture research association, but Mo Wangqiu was still kicked out by the voice trio and Yukino under the snow at the instigation of Sakura Ayayin. And among them, the most heart-wrenching thing for Mo Wangqiu is that Megumi Kato is not on his side.
Anyway, her eyes are really sharp enough, and if you are careful, you will be addicted.
To get back to the point, Mo Wangqiu and Sun Ze, who was dragged down, both went home, and there was still a period of time before the official opening, so they went around to the back of the newly acquainted uncle's booth and started talking.
"Who's the uncle? I've only graduated for three years! Zhou Hai raised his eyebrows very unhappily.
"Be content." Mo Wangqiu glanced at the unkempt appearance on the other side sympathetically: "Only those who are handsome are called uncles, and those who are ugly can only be called big men who pick their feet, do you want me to call a few girls over there to see what they will call you?" β
When Zhou Hai heard this, he was immediately deflated, he also knew what he was like now, he had lost too much of his self-confidence when he first came out, and there was always a wordless frustration when he looked at those radiant high school students.
"Uncle Zhou, you are also from China, eh, from the mainland? It's really good, this style of painting, can I take a look? Mo Wangqiu glanced at the doujinshi on the table and couldn't help but ask.
Although Zhou Hai's painting style is a little rough, there is a pleasing feeling under a closer look, especially the protagonist on the cover, with flames burning on his right hand, and his handsome posture completely makes Mo Wangqiu's middle ear soul burn.
Recently,In order to find a painter who can do the original painting as a ship girl's game, he has collected a large number of works of the same artist.,In addition to those famous people.,It's Zhou Hai's good painting style.,But no one cares about the little painter...... After all, the latter is cheaper, isn't it?
Just looking at the cover, Mo Wangqiu judged that Zhou Hai had very good comic skills, and more importantly, he was young enough and had a lot of room for improvement!
"Whatever." Zhou Hai, who was a little helpless, wanted to take out the cigarette in his pocket, but he remembered the rules of the same association, so he could only snort unhappily and put the cigarette back in his pocket.
"Hey, hey, Wangqiu, this person looks dangerous, let's go, right?" Sun Ze leaned into Mo Wangqiu's ear and whispered.
"Don't make a noise." Mo Wangqiu carefully flipped through the fandom in his hand.
He was a little surprised, this turned out to be an original manga, not a fanwork based on the current hit, which is really rare...... You know,The dead house that came to participate in the holy war is more interested in the works of those familiar characters than the original works of unknown artists.,Well,Especially with a bit of H content.γ
And what about this Zhou Hai? Actually sells his own original works at some time.,Could it be that he's that kind of legendary-level fanart?
No, Zhou Hai brought two boxes, and the stock of only two hundred copies was enough to survive, which is too much for ordinary fanartists, so what's going on?
The plot of the comic looks very simple.,In a world where you can use abilities.,The male protagonist who can't get used to seeing superpowers as a powerful person stands up.,Bravely stop in front of the superpower who wants to attack a little girl.,And awaken the ability of fire at a critical moment.,Easily kill the other party.γ
The story is a bit clichΓ©, but Zhou Hai's storyboard and painting style are very good, and Mo Wangqiu doesn't have that feeling of discomfort.
To be honest, if Zhou Hai's work could have come out more than ten years earlier, it wouldn't have been able to compete with migrant workers of the level of Dead Fire, but unfortunately, the times are different, and this kind of pure "friendship and hard work to win" is not popular in this time period, maybe in another five or six years, when the Grim Reaper is finished, it will be better when the Hokage ends, but it is by no means now.
However, the plot later took a sharp turn.
The male protagonist who saved the little girl was not praised, but was denounced as nosy, because in the background setting of the comics, ordinary people would be wanted by ZF if they disobeyed the superpowers, and even their families would not be spared.
In the face of the accusations of the people around him,The male protagonist who was still complacent just now fell into a daze.,He explained loudly to everyone.,But it didn't work.,The people around him still looked at him with hatred.,Even when the other strangers arrived,,The ordinary people that the male owner just saved still blocked the way for the male owner to flee with a human wall?
"Don't you want to be a brave man? Then please die for us. β
What a straightforward sentence, compared to the male protagonist who was weak and originally intended to rise up for them, these ordinary people are more willing to believe in the superpowers who oppress them and put the butcher's knife on their necks.
The male protagonist didn't want to go against his inner beliefs, and he didn't want to be caught obediently, so he roared angrily and rushed forward against the superpowers who were pursuing.
After a fight,The male protagonist who defeated the enemy fell at the beginning again.,The ordinary people around Huanhuan approached him.,And one of the leading people is holding a pistol in his hand.,Pointing at the male owner from afar.γ
"It's over."
The last page of the comic has only these three crooked words.
Mo Wangqiu put down the comic in his hand, closed his eyes and digested the content just now. To be honest, the painting style and storyboard of this comic are really good, but the plot is too depressing, especially when the male protagonist is unwilling to hurt ordinary people and can only face the enemy's pursuit, Mo Wangqiu seems to see the helplessness and anger of the painter.
But there's one thing that's strange...... There are too many differences between the plots before and after.,Even the style of painting is very different.,The plot after the male protagonist saves ordinary people is like a different painter.,Whether it's the painting skills or the things you want to talk about, it's much worse than the first half.γ
"This ......" Mo Wangqiu hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to speak.
"Oh, I painted it, but the first part was my previous drawing. From the middle onward, I'm going to add it for this winter fandom.γ Although Zhou Hai said it lightly, only he knew the bitterness in it, and he began to prepare the follow-up plot shortly after the end of the summer fandom, but he was too busy with work to put it off until now.
"I see." Mo Wangqiu nodded, put down the comic in his hand preciously, and said very seriously: "It's a very interesting story." β
"Interesting? No, ......" Zhou Hai raised his head and muttered, "It's not interesting at all." β
This story was born out of his life, and the male protagonist's encounter was adapted from his encounter.
At that time, Zhou Hai, who had just come from the mainland, was so high-spirited, compared to him now, it was simply two extremes. There is a very corrupt unspoken rule on Sakurajima's side, which is the "senior system", which means that as long as you are an old man in the company and have enough qualifications, the newcomer must call you a senior and show respect to you.
It's a habit everywhere else in the country, but it's definitely not as fucked up here as Sakurajima.
Zhou Hai is not a native of Sakurajima, so he doesn't eat this set, once, he saw a certain "senior" teasing a female cartoonist in the same issue as himself, and he rushed to stop it if he couldn't bear it.
Originally, this kind of righteous and courageous thing should not be opposed even if it is not blatantly supported, but in fact, when Zhou Hai fought with the senior in the industry, there was no one who stood up to help pull the fight, and everyone was watching from the sidelines, including the female cartoonist he saved.
The reality is brutal.
Zhou Hai, who has just come out of society and is still a rookie, is a weak college student, although he has fought a few times, but he is not that person's opponent at all, he was beaten hard.
But the matter is not over here, because the conflict with Zhou Hai is an ace cartoonist of that magazine, in order not to offend the other party, Zhou Hai's publishing opportunity was canceled, and then there was a series of bans, targeting ......
Zhou Hai did not give up, and under the pressure of that senior and the ban of a certain magazine, he worked hard to survive in this cruel industry.
When he picked up the sketch again, he couldn't help but have mixed feelings, and the original blood unfolding was erased by him and changed to this suffocating ending.
This is probably the end of him.
At least that's what Zhou Hai thought in his heart.
Mo Wangqiu looked at the decadent young man in front of him seriously, and found that he was not as old as he imagined, as long as he shaved off his beard and changed into trendy clothes...... But Mo Wangqiu didn't say much, gently pulled Sun Ze's clothes beside him, and signaled that the other party had just left.
"Don't bother me." Sun Ze's voice was a little impatient: "MD's dark development is unexpectedly interesting, judging from the many years of experience in the ACG world, this comic will definitely be popular." β
It can't be fired.
Zhou Hai and Mo Wangqiu said in their hearts at the same time.
The former is because he knows what kind of people he has offended, and it is impossible to gain a foothold in the comic world. The latter is because I know that this style of forehead theme is not loved by mainstream audiences in the past two years, but it may be ...... in a few years
PS: Thank you for the 500 starting coins that have passed away for a thousand years. And then...... I didn't know until recently that the writer's assistant didn't prompt comments later in the chapter.
