Chapter 55: Persistence and Dreams
I accidentally drank too much with Hu Xiangxiang last night, and Shen Yin woke up and felt a little pain in his head. After eating simple bread and milk, she went to work.
Yang Ning was wearing black high heels, and greeted her with a smile: "Shen Yin, how is the contact with Xu Bin?" ”
She smiled awkwardly, realizing that she had completely forgotten about it.
"Give you another five hours, the author will wait." Yang Ning said solemnly, showing no mercy.
Shen Yin pleaded: "Sister Ning, can you be more accommodating, five hours is not enough at all?" ”
"No, it's your deadline." Yang Ning said resolutely and decisively, there was no room for negotiation.
Shen Yin rubbed his temples, and was worried about how to contact Xu Bin, Gong Weihan came over and said, "Sister Ning is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, you take your time, just tell me if you need it." ”
"Thank you!"
Shen Yin looked at the time, it was now nine o'clock, and he dialed Xu Bin's mobile phone number. Unexpectedly, after she explained the matter in detail, Xu Bin agreed to meet, and then discuss the content of the contract in detail.
"It seems that we are one step closer to success, and I must win this project." She encouraged herself.
She made an appointment to meet Xu Bin at a coffee shop, and she arrived at the agreed place twenty minutes early. Now there are not many people in the coffee shop, only two waiters sitting at the door chatting. She opened the comic app on her phone and scanned the comments on it. She has two accounts, one is run by the company and regularly replies to the comments and comments on it, and the other is herself, but this account is not used often.
"You're here early, aren't you?" Xu Bin sat across from her, wearing a white sweatshirt and black trousers, with a cross-shaped earring on his left ear.
"I'm new here, too." She handed him the contract and said, "This is the author's work, you can take a look." ”
His hands are very beautiful, his fingers are long, his skin is fair, he is looking intently at the documents in his hands, and his long eyelashes are trembling slightly, as if there is a psychedelic charm.
Shen Yin suddenly remembered the comics he had drawn, and the character setting of the protagonist of one of the comics was very consistent with his image, and he was going to look for that comic work on this comic software.
Xu Bin took a sip of latte and said, "If this novel is to be changed into a comic, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you, and the script is not easy to write." ”
She didn't read the novel, and when she heard him say something like that, she looked at him with wide eyes.
Xu Bin leaned back in his chair, put down the documents, and said with a slight smile: "You haven't read this novel?" Then how did you have the courage to come and talk to me? ”
"I ...... This is what Sister Ning meant, I just did it. Her voice was as thin as a gossamer.
Xu Bin put his arm on the table, approached her and said, "Do you know what the comic market is like now?" Is that person named Sister Ning a person in this regard? ”
"I don't know much about the current comic market, Sister Ning is a market operation plan specializing in novel publishing." She explained quietly.
"Do you know what kind of risks your team is going to face for a comic that has no market prospects? This means that you will not get any reward for your hard work for a month or even half a year, will you continue to paint such works? Will your team support you? He stared intently at her, detailing his attitude.
"Please give me half an hour......," she responded, picking up the documents on the table and asking for his opinion, she didn't believe that Yang Ning's work would be so bad.
"Well, I'll take a look around the neighborhood." Xu Bin smiled lightly and left the coffee shop.
"Thank you!" Shen Yin said gratefully.
Twenty minutes passed, and Shen Yin had finished reading the novel. Although this novel belongs to the juvenile hot-blooded novel, the storyline in it is compact and exciting, as long as it is properly handled in setting the characters, it will also be a good comic.
Xu Bin bought a pack of medicines and returned to the coffee shop, "What do you think after reading it?" ”
She told him what she thought in her heart, and Xu Bin thought for a while and said, "Since you are so insistent, I have no reason to refuse anymore, anyway, I have been staying at home during this time, and it is fine." ”
"Thank you!" She didn't expect Xu Bin to be such a good talker, so she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Heh, you didn't expect me to say yes so quickly, did you?" Xu Bin said with a smile, his eyes a little red.
"Well, it's a bit surprising that you're real and not the same as the rumors."
Xu Bin covered his mouth with his hand and coughed a few times, "How many of the comments on the Internet are true?" It's just a means for those who have a heart to attract people's attention. How did you go to Japan for training? ”
"You have a cold?"
"It's okay, it's just a little cold, and I've already bought medicine." He took the contract and neatly signed his name on it, "Happy cooperation!" ”
"Happy working together!" Shen Yin looked at the medicine for treating colds on the table, and said with concern: "You also pay attention to your body." ”
"Well, I'll go first." Xu Bin took the contract and left.
Shen Yin told Yang Ning the good news, "Shen Yin, I knew that you would definitely succeed, and I would invite you to dinner in the evening." Yang Ning said happily.
"Sister Ning, no need, I have to discuss the image design of the character with them at night." She politely refused.
"Okay, you come back first, slow down on the road!"
It's almost twelve o'clock when I returned to the studio, Xia Mengfu asked for leave today, and I heard that she had a cold. So today there are only three people in the comic studio, and the workload is quite large.
"Sister Yin, this is the line draft of the third chapter of "Cloud Tea", let's see if there are any problems?" Hao Jie said, putting the sketch on her desk.
"I've worked hard for you all this time." Shen Yin handed him a bottle of six walnuts, motioned for him to sit down, and said, "You look at this novel and tell me what you think." ”
"These are all things we should do, Sister Yin, don't be so polite." Hao Jie returned to his seat with the novel and began to look at it seriously.
She learned the address of Xia Mengfu from Yang Ning, and planned to visit her after work, and also expressed her gratitude.
When she was busy, Zhang Huan told her that there was her phone over there. It turned out that a magazine called and said that Shen Yin was responsible for designing the cover of a comic magazine.
She agreed without thinking about it, and hung up the phone only to realize that there were too many things to do recently, and she had nothing extra to complete this work. She rubbed her neck and sighed helplessly.
The editor of the magazine over there quickly sent the relevant information, and she skimmed through it and began to think of a simplified diagram in her mind. However, the pen in his hand could not draw a figure that satisfied him, so the sketch was revised and redrawn, and there was no change after repeated many times.
When she was worried, Liu Hao took the original colored picture and handed it to her: "Sister Yin, I have already done this picture, can I send it over?" ”
"Wait." Shen Yin took the original picture, and his inspiration suddenly appeared, and he said excitedly: "Well, you did it very beautifully!" ”
"Thank you, Sister Yin, I'll send it over as soon as possible." Liu Hao was also very happy to get her praise.
She immediately grasped the inspiration just now, and began to draw on the paper without self-forgetfulness, and in half an hour, the rough sketch had been drawn, and the next step was to draw, draw and color.
By the time she looked up, two hours had passed. She stood up and moved her body.
"Sister Yin, it's already off work, aren't you leaving?" Liu Hao walked past her with a bag on his back and said.
"You go first, I'll wait a little longer." She said with a smile, wanting to draw the movements of the characters, after all, she only had three days.
When Shen Yin got home, she found that she had forgotten to visit Xia Mengfu, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening, so she went to the nearby gift shop to buy some fruits and gifts and found her address. Xia Mengfu's home is in the "Happy Community", which is about five stops away from the studio. Shen Yin came to the door of her house, and it was a middle-aged woman who opened the door, "Auntie, hello, is Xia Mengfu at home?" I'm her colleague. ”
"Oh, you're Xiaofu's boss, come in!" The aunt warmly invited her in, took the gift in her hand, and shouted towards the room: "Xiaofu, your boss has come to see you, come out quickly?" ”
Shen Yin saw that the room was very neat and clean, Xia Mengfu was wearing pajamas and walked out of a room, "Sister Yin, why are you here?" She was visibly surprised.
Shen Yin looked at her and said, "How is your body?" ”
"Sister Yin, sit down first, let's talk slowly." Xia Mengfu very politely pulled her to sit on the sofa, and said with a smile: "I'm already better, I can go to work tomorrow." ”
"Don't be too reluctant, we will handle the things in the studio, so you can rest for a few days and relax."
"It's really fine, the cold is all gone." Xia Mengfu handed her a glass of water.
Shen Yin took the water cup and took a sip, "I'm relieved to see you recover your health, you will continue to rest tomorrow and come back to work the day after tomorrow." ”
Xia Mengfu's mother brought the fruit and warmly beckoned Shen Yin to taste it.
"Thank you, Auntie, it's not too early, I'm going back."
"Why did you just come and leave? Sit a little longer, right? Auntie enthusiastically handed over a peeled apple.
Xia Mengfu whispered on the side: "Mom, Sister Shen Yin has to go to work tomorrow." ”
"Oh, in that case, I'll send you downstairs, right?" The aunt began to babble in her ear: "Thank you for taking care of my little girl!" ”
Shen Yin walked to the door and said to her aunt with a smile in her eyes, "Auntie, you guys rest early!" ”
She walked out of the neighborhood and raised her eyes to see the scattered stars in the night sky, and the full moon hanging in the dark night sky. A middle-aged man on a three-wheeled bicycle stopped in front of her, "Girl, where do you want to go?" ”
Shen Yin shook his head and turned to leave. She walked to the bus stop and planned to take the bus back. At this time, the mobile phone rang, and it was a call from Wang Mengliang.
"Are you washing up now?" His gentle voice came, dispelling the tiredness in her heart.
The bus came, she didn't answer in time, took out two coins from her bag and threw them into the box, walked to the last row of seats on the bus and sat down.
"Where are you? Why is it so noisy? He asked curiously, guessing where she was.
It was the last bus, and there were only three people at this stop, and she was sitting near the back door.
"I'm on the bus, I've just visited a colleague, and I'm going back." Seeing that it was very quiet in the carriage, she whispered back.
"Well, don't stay up late tonight and go to bed early."
"Are you calling just to talk about it?" She asked rhetorically.
"Yes, I guess you're going to stay up tonight, so I'll remind you in advance."
She had planned to stay up late tonight, but when she heard him say this, she whispered back, "Well, I'll go to bed early tonight." ”
"By the way, I want to tell you the good news, my parents have discussed the matter of our wedding with my aunts, have you received the news?" She could hear the excitement in his heart.
"Wait, I'll call you later." A call came in, it was my aunt's mobile phone number.
"Hmm."
"Shen Yin, has something happened to you? We've called you more than 10 times, and we haven't been able to get through. My aunt said anxiously.
"Auntie, I'm fine, have you already discussed the relevant matters of our marriage?"
"Yes, today we went to our in-laws' house, and we have already discussed your marriage, so we also went to find someone to calculate a good day, just on the sixth day of the next month, what do you think?"
"Auntie, just do what you want, I have no opinion."
"Okay, leave the family affairs to us, and my aunt will definitely organize a grand wedding for you."
After that, she told Wang Mengliang what her aunt meant, "The wedding is on the seventh day of the next month, do you already know?" ”
"Well, so we're going to take wedding photos early, I've already contacted the time, I'll send you the address later, when do you have time, let's go try on the wedding dress together?"
"Okay, I'm afraid I won't have time this week, so I'll have to wait until next week." Shen Yin said embarrassedly.
"I'll wait for you, I'll leave the rest to me, and you can rest well during this time."
She felt a warm current flowing through her heart, as if his voice had a kind of magic, and a sense of solidity arose in her heart.
"Well, I'll finish the work at hand sooner."
It was half past nine in the evening when she got home, and she hadn't eaten dinner yet, so she drank a glass of hot milk, ate two slices of bread and went to the shower.
