In the last few days of 2001, Tang Mingyao received a call from Wang Guangkun in his bedroom.

After a moment of greetings, he understood what the other party meant.

The meaning of the words is that the comic version of "Modern Legend of Jianghu" will be listed on New Year's Day in 02, and the comic author is a newcomer, and the editorial department didn't pay much attention to it originally, but then he advocated it and pushed this newcomer's work into the main focus of the next issue. Then, since this is a work that you sent yourself, is it the right thing for you to do it yourself? After all, the editorial department is out of the ordinary.

Tang Mingyao was surprised, and agreed without hesitation.

Not to mention that the author of the comic is his girlfriend, even if it is drawn by an irrelevant author, since he has adapted him, he should also help with some publicity.

After all, after the comics came out, the popularity that could be driven in turn could be driven.

After all, he is speculating on his own IP.

After taking some time, he went to an Internet café and logged on to his personal website built for him by fans.

Posted a separate post:

[The comic version of "Modern Legends" will be published in January 2002 in "Juvenile Comics" magazine, please support readers and friends! 】

This is information that has been announced to fans before.

In order to make it look different, he found the original scans and posted several character drawings drawn by Luo Wenxi in the post.

exited the personal forum, and then went to Tianya Literature, Jin Yong Inn, Banyan Tree and other websites that I used to go to often, and posted the same post.

The number of Chinese netizens is expanding exponentially.

For those who make traditional magazines, the promotion methods are basically still stuck in traditional channels such as print media and television, and it will be a few years before they set their sights on the Internet.

The cyber front is now almost blank.

Tang Mingyao had already learned the power of the Internet as early as two years ago, and he believed that his post would definitely be better than advertising in traditional newspapers and magazines.

After posting, Tang Mingyao saw that it was still early, so he sat in his position and talked to Luo Wenxi on the phone.

"The comics you drew are about to go on the market, are you nervous?"

"Sort of."

"Nervous about what?"

"I'm afraid of being scolded, and if someone scolds me for painting badly and ruining you, then I will definitely die of sadness."

"I think it's okay, you don't have to care about other people's eyes."

"You didn't draw it, of course you said so, anyway, even if you are scolded, it won't be scolded on your head."

Tang Mingyao thought about it, clicked on the post he just made, and saw that there had been a lot of replies in various forums, so he said: "I posted the character design you made to the forum, and netizens have comments, I will read it to you." ”

After a pause, he said: "This is a comment posted by a netizen called [Oh my God, where are my pants], he said......"

"Poof!"

"What are you laughing at?"

"This person's screen name is so funny......"

"Be serious, I'll get down to business. He said, is this the male and female protagonist setting that the author has posted, it's very good-looking, I like it! Wait for the comic to go on the market, and I will support it by all means! ”

Then he read again: "There is also a netizen named [Liuqi Qinghong] who said that the characters are very spiritual and beautiful, and I am looking forward to comic works." ”

I read seven or eight comments in one breath, and I specially selected the ones that sounded good.

Luo Wenxi was keenly aware of the problem: "How is it all good, is there nothing bad?" ”

Tang Mingyao said: "Because you draw well, and most of the people who come to comment are my fans, they have a preference for me, and they also love you and Wu." ”

"Well, trust you."

Luo Wenxi accepted this explanation, snorted twice, and suddenly became tender again: "How long is the holiday?" I miss you so much, I haven't seen you in almost three months. ”

"Soon, I'll be back as soon as I have the holidays."

"I ...... I have a decision to tell you when you get back. ”

"Can't you say it now?"

"Can't!"

“……”

Originally, it was just a simple phone call to say hello, but the phone porridge was boiled again, and the two of us chatted for more than half an hour before reluctantly hanging up.

…………

Xue Shuai, surnamed Xue Mingshuai, has the screen name "God of God".

He is a junior with his own computer.

In this day and age, even computer science students are a luxury to own a personal computer.

Most of his classmates, after learning textbook knowledge, have to wait for computer classes twice a week to have the opportunity to practice. And he doesn't have such troubles, after finishing his studies, he can go back to the dormitory and practice directly.

Last semester, there was a web design course, and the other students found a ready-made template, revised it, and turned it into their final homework.

Only his group started from scratch, made a complete personal website step by step, and officially launched the operation.

In the end, he got a high score of 100 points in his web design class!

Xue Shuai is very happy, as a fan of the train king, he has done what he can for his idol while taking care of his studies, and he is extremely satisfied.

Especially later, the train king contacted him personally and agreed to have time to eat together, which made this satisfaction reach a peak.

Recently, he has a hot heart, and he has to log in to his own website every day, maintain the forum, manage fans, and become the head of Tang Mingyao's fan group.

After lunch, he turned on his computer as usual and logged on to the forums to see who had made new posts.

To be honest, there are quite a few registered people on the site, quite tens of thousands.

However, there are not many people who are often online, and there are often dozens of people chatting in it, only the last time Tang Mingyao held a signing meeting, the forum was popular for a while, and then it fell silent again.

This time he logged in, he originally planned to see those familiar IDs, and how to use the forum as a chat tool, and by the way, he gave full play to his moderator authority and deleted a few people's indecent remarks.

However, when he clicked on the forum, he immediately found a new post that stood out.

Poster: The train king himself!

This is...... Idols are on the forum again?

Xue Shuai was overjoyed, and read the title carefully, it was the comic version mentioned last time that it was listed, which was not unexpected, but since it was posted by the idol himself, he still clicked in with anticipation.

That's where the surprise comes in.

There is actually a picture!

It is a character design of "Modern Legends".

Xue Shuai enjoyed these pictures several times and saved them in his computer.

Then he replied below the post: "Support the manga version, a must!" ”

After thinking about it, I felt that as a moderator and head of the fan group, such support was obviously not enough, so I posted a new post on the forum.

[Team up to support the comic version of "Modern Legends of Jianghu", come and sign up! ] 】

He wrote in the post: In order to support the launch of the comic version of the idol, I decided to go to the newsstand on New Year's Day to buy ten copies of "Shonen Comics"! If anyone else would like to support, please sign up below. You don't have to buy ten, you can buy one. Once you're done supporting, please come back with an update.

When he logged on to the forum again in the evening, he found that the post had been covered hundreds of floors. 8)
