"In the afternoon, I will bring the first two volumes of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", you try to draw a picture first, and I will take a look. If it works, you can continue to draw; No, let's discuss it again and see what form it is better to draw it. ”

The bookstore Du Jinning must be opened, even if Guan Jiaze and they are not willing to cooperate anymore, she wants to open it alone. Therefore, Xu Chengyuan here needs to prepare early.

"Okay." Xu Chengyuan only felt that his whole body was full of energy.

Before starting to paint, Du Jinning felt that he should make the money clear: "In what form do you plan to get paid?" ”

Xu Chengyuan said: "Just according to the price of five taels of silver for a volume." ”

Du Jinning can understand very well: "Cheng." ”

The Xu family still owes debts, so it is naturally better to take cash. It's uncertain whether this villain's book will sell well, and even if it sells well, the money you make at the beginning will definitely not be much, after all, this is a new thing, and it takes a process for people to accept it. If Xu Chengyuan takes a cut, far water can't quench his thirst.

Xu Chengyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Is five taels of silver too much?" Otherwise, three or two will be done. ”

This is an honest man! Du Jinning sighed with emotion, and said in his mouth: "It's not much, a picture album has to draw at least thirty pages, and it takes a lot of effort." ”

"Then let's draw it first, if it's easy, you can give three taels."

Speaking of this, he said a little embarrassedly: "I'm still not suitable for writing a script." The reason why the book in front of me can be written and sold is all up to you. The whole story is written according to your idea of "Bad Luck Han Meets Dongting Red"; The storyline was changed by you again. Now that I'm at home on vacation, there's nothing to do, I was going to write another book and sell it, but I can't think of any good stories. ”

As he spoke, he asked Du Jinning: "How did you come up with such a background and such a plot in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?" ”

Du Jinning was dumbfounded.

She didn't come up with that story, she was just a shameful porter, secretly moving other people's stories to sell.

However, she was an online writer in her previous life, although she wrote all routine articles, she still had some experience in writing articles.

She said, "I think you've heard storytelling, right?" Isn't this the source of inspiration for all kinds of stories like heroes? At the same time, stories come from life and are higher than life. Sometimes you listen to the parents on the streets and alleys, and then process and sort them out, and that's a good story. ”

Xu Chengyuan's eyes were shining when she said this, and he just wanted to collect the story now.

"Alright, if it's okay, I'll go back." Du Jinning stood up.

As if she remembered something, she suddenly asked, "By the way, you're almost eighteen years old this year, right?" Is my aunt going to propose a marriage to you? Which girl didn't say it? ”

Xu Chengyuan was on the rise, and was suddenly stunned by her unreasonable question, and his face, which had become extremely ruddy because of excitement, turned white.

He wanted to pretend not to care and say a few words, but suddenly found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound.

After a long time, he lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "No discussion, the family debt has not been paid off, I don't want to drag other girls down, and I won't meet in the past two years." Let's talk about it when the debts are paid off and the family is living better. ”

Saying this, he regretted in his heart that he shouldn't have proposed to the Du family at this time.

He didn't know if the Du family refused because his family was still in debt and had a bad time, or if he had other considerations. But like them, they were collected for debts and went to discuss their relatives, which clearly did not pay enough attention to other girls.

But his mother said that Du Fangfei was sixteen years old, and he was seventeen years old, even if he didn't get married, he should book the family affair. Du Fangfei is good-looking, and Du Jinning looks like a promising person, and some people remember the Du family. If someone gets the first step, it's too late to regret it. Only then did they rush to Du's house to mention the matter.

Who knew that the Du family still didn't take a fancy to him.

Thinking of this, his heart was very uncomfortable.

When Du Jinning asked this, the more he came into contact with the mother and son of the Xu family, the more he felt that they were good and were very suitable for Du Fangfei's family. Both mother and son have a conscience, which is very important, Xu Chengyuan will have a reputation in the future, at least he will not abandon his bad wife; Even if he can't get famous, Xu Chengyuan has skills, just by writing a script and drawing a villain book, he can make his family live a very comfortable life, which is good.

Du Fangfei said that he would not consider family affairs within a year, and if Xu Chengyuan did not discuss family affairs within a year, then maybe the two would be able to sit down again to talk about family affairs after a year.

Now with Xu Chengyuan's words, she is much more relieved.

On the second day, Du Jinning really took "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to discuss the painting method of the villain book with Xu Chengyuan.

Xu Chengyuan had originally borrowed Guan Jiaze's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to see it, and had a certain impression of the plot, and after Du Jinning asked him to watch it again, the two discussed where to go for a painting, what to draw on the picture, how to compose the picture, and what the characters looked like.

Du Jinning came from a later generation with rich film and television works, and he was also very impressed by Huang Rihua's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and his imagination was naturally stronger than Xu Chengyuan. Later, it was simply her that Xu Chengyuan took a pen and sketched beside her.

"Well, that's not right." Du Jinning found that this was inappropriate, and quickly stopped, "I can't design every book for you next to it, after all, I still have my own things to do, and the teahouse is waiting for me to talk about it." In this way, I have talked about it so much just now, you should think about it and draw all the content below. Wait until the drawing is done and show it to me, if I think it's inappropriate, you can change it. Do you think this will work? ”

Xu Chengyuan was also embarrassed by her words, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I understand what you just said, and I know how to draw this villain book......" Speaking of this, he paused and raised his eyes suspiciously, "Senior Brother Du, why do you want to call it a villain book?" Our album isn't for villains, is it? It's all watched by the big guys. ”

Du Jinning laughed: "I'm calling it casually." She touched her nose, "Let's call it a comic strip." ”

The villain book is a folk name, in fact, people have an official name, called comic books. Since Du Jinning moved this thing to ancient times, it is natural to inherit the name as well.

Xu Chengyuan nodded in agreement: "It's good to call a comic book, but it's not a painting of continuous plots?" He continued the previous topic and said, "I already know how to draw this comic book, and when I think about it, I will publish this book of calligraphy and painting, and then show it to you, and then change it." ”

"If these scripts leak out, and there are transcripts everywhere, I won't make any money when I open a bookstore. So you have to keep it well, don't show it to others, and don't lose it. Du Jinning told him again, and when he saw that he answered, he was relieved to go home.
