436. Visit old acquaintances

Liang Yu's vacation is a week.,This naturally includes the three days of Comiket Doujin Festival at the end of the year.,But in the days from Christmas to the beginning of the 28th Doujin Festival.,Liang Yu in addition to looking back on the past time with Yuwen Hitomi and them.,I also visited some Qiu Nan's acquaintances by the way.。

Editor Huang Yuan naturally wanted to go, after all, some things can't be explained by phone alone, and when they arrived at Margalilyn's editorial office, the two of them talked about the next development, and explained the corresponding work. Originally, Huang Yuan wanted to invite Liang Yu to have a meal, but the latter politely refused.

Since she is here, it is reasonable to stop by to visit the old editors of the past, Liang Yu knows that she may not be popular in Fantasy now, and the work of editors is usually very busy, so she may not be able to find someone on such a whim. Thinking so, I called with the idea of giving it a try.

"Hey, Liang Yu, well, I'm here, no, I'm not busy now, where are you? It's already in Shiratorisha, okay, I'll get down right away. ”

Liang Yu waited on the first floor for a while, Guo Pinyuan appeared from the elevator, and the two went to the familiar café opposite.

The feeling of the café is still the same as in the past, but now it has long been different, and even the waiter brother who was very attentive to Liang Yu in the past is gone, but replaced by another girl with short hair and glasses.

"What do you two want?"

"Get me a cup of plain coffee."

"A cappuccino, thank you."

"Okay, wait a minute."

When Liang Yu turned around, Guo Pinyuan asked, "Are you okay at the university recently?" ”

"Well, the pace of life is quite busy and compact, but it also feels more fulfilling." Liang Yu replied.

"That's good, Liang Yu, you have been popular for more than half of the sky recently, and you can be regarded as a standout author who can take care of your studies and work so well."

"It's okay." Liang Yu was a little embarrassed to say this.

After that, the two inevitably talked about Chen Nan and her new work, when they learned that Guo Pinyuan was no longer the editor. Liang Yu didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry."

"Why apologize?" Guo Pinyuan took a sip of coffee and asked.

"I always feel that our willfulness has caused you a lot of trouble, and it is obvious that we have always helped us over, not only has there been no return, but it has left a lot of bad impressions on the editor-in-chief." Liang Yu didn't continue. But the meaning is that Guo Pinyuan had previously taken over the position of team leader vacated by Mr. Ye Chuan, but later lost this position because of the end of "Chess Soul".

Hearing Liang Yu say this, Guo Pinyuan waved his hand and laughed: "It turns out that what you have been caring about is this." Uh, in fact, things are not as strict as you think, and I don't take Chen Nan for this reason...... By the way, did I tell you why I came to be an editor? ”

Liang Yu shook his head.

"As for me, I was introduced to manga very early, I started reading it in high school, and I quickly became addicted to it, and when I was in college, I wondered if I could make this a future job. So I bought a lot of reference books and started studying how to draw manga. I want to become a cartoonist, but I've definitely said that drawing manga requires talent, but unfortunately I don't have this talent, and I only have a lot of useless knowledge. Guo Pinyuan said this as if he was nostalgic, raised his head and smiled at Liang Yu: "Later, my editor-in-charge said to me, he said, since you refuse to give up, you want to do your part for the comics." Why don't you just try it out as an editor? Comics are not just the business of cartoonists alone, but also assistants, editors, and a large number of readers and fans to support the creation of things. Actually, as a behind-the-scenes hero who started the comics, this experience is quite cool. ”

"And then you're going to be an editor at Fantasy?"

Guo Pinyuan smiled and nodded: "After doing this job, I realized that the editor was very tired, not only to be responsible for the writers who have become famous and stable, but also to screen out the potential seedlings in a pile of manuscripts." Especially in our line of work. I had to turn down a large number of young people with dreams, so before I tasted success, I experienced the difficulties of this industry, and I will tell you the truth, I have considered giving up this job several times and switching to another industry. ”

Liang Yu didn't interject, because she knew that Guo Pinyuan would tell her to stay the answer, no, in fact, it was already imaginable.

Guo Pinyuan looked at Liang Yu, and seemed to look at many authors in charge of the past, present, and even the future: "But although there are unhappy things, I can't always find the north when I'm busy, the salary is not high, the day and night are reversed, and the vacation is still short, but the flaws are not hidden, just like watching newcomers like you and Chen Nan grow up slowly, and seeing those popular works born from their own hands, the sense of accomplishment is really incomparable." The old editor didn't lie to me, and I did choose the right career as an editor. ”

After listening to this passage, Liang Yu couldn't help but feel quite emotional.

In this world, people are often chasing higher things, such as money, such as worth, reputation, and even some things that are shelved but shelved, but in the end they don't know what the purpose of pursuing these things is.

But there are also some people who consistently look at their goals, and even persist in them even at the expense of external forces.

Chen Nan is like this, Guo Pinyuan is like this, or more people Liang Yu knows and doesn't know, maybe ...... One of them himself.

Liang Yu didn't know how to evaluate it, she just asked sincerely: "If you had a new choice in life, would you still be a comic editor?" ”

"Re-chosen?" Guo Pinyuan touched his cheeks and said, "Then I definitely don't want to be an editor, I'm going to get the ability to save the world." ”

His joke couldn't help but make Liang Yu laugh too.

Yes, at this time, ordinary people will never have a chance to start over once in their lives, and they are still a person with completely different identities and genders.

......At the end of this topic, Guo Pinyuan added: "Yes, if I hadn't gained superpowers, and I couldn't remember the past ** lottery numbers and became rich overnight, I might have to do this job again - after all, I'm only good at this." ”

The chat didn't last long, and I sat for more than half an hour, after all, as I said earlier, the editor's studio was very busy.

Seeing that the time was only a little over one and a half in the afternoon, Liang Yu decided to go to Chen Nan's side again.

This is also part of the plan, but there is some hesitation.

"Chen Nan's words, you persuade her more after you see it, you also know her temper, a strong spirit, "Stakes" has a good momentum recently, and there is a faint momentum to compete with Gu Chengfeng for the first place, but I still don't want her to collapse her body because of this, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution."

Bidding farewell to Guo Pinyuan, Liang Yu took the bus to Chen Nan's studio. (To be continued.) )
