"Huh?" Liang Yu was stunned for a moment, "Do you mean to let him draw my story?" ”

"That's right, this is the way I said before about the division of labor and cooperation in comics," Guo Pinyuan explained: "You are the original work, he will paint, and after this manuscript is finished, it will be submitted to the Red Dragon Award of Fantasy at the end of August, and if you win, you will be awarded fifty-fifty percent of the prize." ”

"Did he draw well?" Liang Yu thought about it and asked, after all, Guo Pinyuan refused to write because he thought Liang Yu had painted too badly.

"I've got his sketches here, so take a look." With this said, Guo Pinyuan went to the briefcase and took out a file bag, pulled out the manuscript paper inside and handed it to Liang Yu.

Putting aside the one he had painted, Liang Yu saw the hand-drawn manuscript for the first time, and he was stunned by the courage of the picture as soon as he saw it. The beautiful characters and delicate background of the outlets made Liang Yu can't help but exclaim: "It's amazing......"

Guo Pinyuan nodded and agreed with Liang Yu's blurted out: "For middle school students and a newcomer, this composition is outstanding, both the characters and the scene are portrayed very well, and the storyboards and exceptions of the battle scenes are also used very naturally and tensely, I heard that he began to learn to draw at the age of 8, and has been working hard, the comics were drawn last year, and today's painting skills are even enough to open a serialization." ”

"Do you want to draw comics with me?"

"Well, to be honest, this is just an idea of mine," Guo Pinyuan said, knowing very well that he is just an editor, and whether he can succeed in the end depends on the opinions of the original author and the artist, "This artist is the opposite of yours, he is a person who is good at painting, but can't make up a good story." I said bluntly, Liang Yu, if you don't draw well, as long as you keep practicing and drawing, as long as you don't give up, there will always be a day when you can paint well, but if you can't make up a popular good story, then if such a painter still insists on this line, there are only two ways out. ”

He looked at Liang Yu fixedly, and stretched out two fingers: "First, find the original author to cooperate with the comics, and second, to be a full-time assistant for others, but he is very persistent in comics, and after the submission failed, he still insisted on submitting a high-quality manuscript every month, and he failed repeatedly. ”

"I know the reason, but why did you find me in particular, is it because I can't draw well, so can I partner with him?"

"Of course, there are reasons for that, but more importantly, both of you are still very young and have a lot of room for improvement, and you may be able to improve together when you work together." Guo Pinyuan took the original manuscript from Liang Yu's hand, put it in the file bag and sealed it: "He can learn from you the methods and inspiration of story creation, and if you want to draw the story by yourself in the future, you can learn painting skills from him, just like newcomers will always go to the serialized cartoonist for a period of time to be an assistant to sharpen their experience, don't you think this is a good opportunity to improve yourself?" ”

"I ...... Think about it. Liang Yu said after thinking about it.

"Of course, I'm just helping you get the strings out of it, and it's up to you whether it will work out or not, and then reply to me if you think about it." Guo Pinyuan replied with a smile.

"What kind of person is the other person?"

"The age should be one year older than you.,The specific situation is not very clear because I have been contacting me by email.,I only know that his family lives in Gaoyang City.,The family is not very supportive of his drawing comics.,He doesn't have a mobile phone.,And I don't let me call the number of the residence.,It's a family that will nag if you know.,Often.,This kind of rebellious child.,But his determination to draw comics is full of hard work.,According to his email.,If the comics can be serialized, he will drop out of Qiunan City.,Draw comics full-time.。

"Huh? Isn't this something that should persuade him to study? ”

Guo Pinyuan shrugged his shoulders: "The general way of thinking is indeed like this, but from the position of my editor, I really can't persuade the other party to give up comics for such reasons, and his determination is different, it is said that although he still lives with his family, he is already semi-independent, usually works in a convenience store, and draws whenever he has free time, such a child, what reason do adults have to stop him from pursuing his dreams?" ”

Guo Pinyuan's reply made Liang Yu speechless, she opened her mouth, and finally had to swallow her words back.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I shouldn't tell you this, in short, Liang Yu's task is to correct these manuscripts as soon as possible, and then think about the cooperation and new stories, there is no hurry in time, because there may be revisions, so please hand it over to me before the 7th of next month."

"Understood."

After Liang Yu and Guo Pinyuan finished talking, it was already completely dark, Guo Pinyuan stopped a taxi for Liang Yu to take her home, after all, it should be quite dangerous for a girl of this age to walk at night.

Glancing at the direction in which the car disappeared, Guo Pinyuan sighed, not knowing if these two little guys could get together in the end.

"It would be nice if it worked." Guo Pinyuan thought so.

Under the same starry sky, Chen Nan also glanced up at the sky.

Because of the name, she is often mistaken for a boy, and she never wears a skirt, usually always dressed neutrally, if you only look at the facial features, the delicate melon seed face and bright double eyelids can naturally tell that it is a girl, but the problem is that she likes to wear a baseball cap that only a little boy wears to cover her face, wear a pair of flat sneakers, sweatshirt T-shirt and cropped pants, it is really difficult to distinguish.

She had just finished her job at the place where she worked and was now planning to take the last bus home.

Although the place was called home, it had long since fallen apart, the mother was gone, and the father who was left behind completely regarded himself as a stranger, a selfish and pitiful man who had expected her to follow the life he had laid out, but after she refused to become a puppet to take revenge on her mother, the last bit of relationship between father and daughter broke down.

She hates to go home, the air there is oppressive and uncomfortable, but Chen Nan is only 16 years old, and the living expenses of working in a convenience store are not enough for her to be self-reliant, she seems to grow up soon, and leave that home to live her own life soon.

On the bus, Chen Nan took out the newly bought Fantasy comics today and flipped through them, she had already received the editor's email in advance, knowing that she had failed again, but she was still unwilling to turn over the header again - sure enough, there was no name of her own.

Failure, failure, failure, failure all the time.

Just like her life.

Study, life, nothing outstanding, even the painting she has always insisted on is rated as "the painting is good, but it's not interesting." ”

Only the comics were chosen by herself, and in her darkest years, brought her the only oasis of joy and spiritual comfort.

You have to persevere, even if you have to fail ten times, a hundred times, you have to succeed in a hundred and one places.

"Let's go home and start drawing again."

Looking at the magazine cover clenched tightly in his hand, Chen Nan thought so.
