416. Persuasion
The time to meet Tang Xuan was two days later.
Chen Nan's mood has always been very contradictory, for Tang Xuan, she has no good impression at all, but for a person who is desperate in a desperate situation, even if it is a little opportunity, she will desperately seize it.
The place to meet is a café not far from Fantasy, in the past, Liang Yu and Guo Pinyuan often made an appointment here to talk about comics, unlike other girls who like to dress up and don't let their male partners wait for half an hour and don't go out, Chen Nan is still a set of tomboy neutral outfits today, ordered a cup of black tea 30 minutes early and sat in the store waiting. And Tang Xuan arrived on the agreed timeline.
"Oh, I'm really sorry, Teacher Chen Nan, you have been waiting for a long time." The man lifted his glasses, unbuttoned his coat, and sat down opposite Chen Nan. What he said was a polite remark as a matter of course, because Chen Nan didn't see any apologetic expression on his face at all.
But it doesn't matter -
"Today you asked me to ......"
"Bring me a cup of coffee, thank you." Tang Xuan said to the waiter who came to ask for an order, then turned his head and smiled apologetically at Chen Nan: "I'm sorry, you continue." ”
"......" Chen Nan was silent for a moment and continued: "Did you bring the script you asked me to come out and talk about today?" ”
"Teacher Chen Nan is really straight to the point," Tang Xuan smiled, revealing his white teeth: "I've just arrived, let me take a breath first, or is Teacher Chen Nan already impatient to cooperate with me?" ”
Chen Nan stared at the other party motionlessly, and saw that Tang Xuan could only surrender: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've already brought the script, do you want to take a look?" ”
"Yes." Chen Nan replied briefly.
Tang Xuan opened the shoulder bag he was carrying, and then took out a stack of A4 paper bound drafts and two notebooks. handed it over to Chen Nan.
"It's probably a bit messy because I'm a set-up party, and I write all the interesting things I think of on it." At this time, the coffee that Tang Xuan ordered arrived, he took it and blew it, then looked up at Chen Nan, who was concentrating on opening his notes, and suddenly said without a beginning: "Does Teacher Chen Nan like to drink black tea?"
Chen Nan glanced down at the teacup placed in front of him. Shook his head: "I don't like it, I usually drink green tea, and I suddenly want to change the taste." ”
"In this way, I still have a good chance." Tang Xuan said.
"Why?" I have to say that Tang Xuan's words once again attracted Chen Nan's attention, and she couldn't help but ask.
Although he has long known that this person is very proud and confident in himself, but there is nothing to be said about this eight words, but it is confirmed by what he said, Chen Nan still wants to know why he is so sure. Could it be that he felt that his script was so good that he couldn't refuse?
It seemed that he had known that Chen Nan had asked this question, Tang Xuan stepped forward and smiled indifferently: "Because everything is on this 'change' word." ”
"Change?"
Teacher Chen Nan usually drinks green tea, and suddenly wants to change the taste, so he ordered black tea, which shows that Teacher Chen Nan is bored with the same things in his heart, and hopes to bring forth the new and seek to break the situation. So it is inferred from this. My chances are pretty good. ”
Although he was not happy with the other party's complacent look, Chen Nan had to say that he guessed correctly: "You studied psychology?" ”
"Nope." Tang Xuan slowly stirred the coffee with a spoon. "I just like to observe and summarize," he said. ”
"Summary of observations?"
"That's right." Tang Xuan nodded: "In my opinion, all things in this world are traceable, by observing them, you can grasp the necessary information, and then through thinking and sorting out in your mind, you can get a perfect answer." ”
Chen Nan raised his eyebrows: "What does this mean?" ”
There seems to be a slight contempt. Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows, but fortunately, he quickly covered up the past by drinking coffee, and then explained: "To put it simply, I think success is also traceable, including fame." The same is true for creating works that convince everyone to become the No.1 apex, as long as you observe, think, and then go all out, you can get the best solution. ”
"You mean to say that creating comics is like producing and processing?"
"It's not like, it's fundamental, but I think it's better to call it Seiko, after all, the work we want to create is not the kind of shoddy mass product, but to become a masterpiece, a masterpiece that will leave a name in the history of comics." When he said this, Tang Xuan's eyes flashed: "Do you know why I came to you, Teacher Chen Nan?" ”
“……”
Without waiting for Chen Nan to speak, Tang Xuan announced the answer himself.
"There are three reasons, one is because Mr. Chen Nan's painting skills have reached the realm of excellence, and there are never more than three painters in the entire Fantasy who can compete with you, and I think your painting style is the best choice for expressing the world I depict." Tang Xuan immediately stretched out his second finger and said: "Second, it's because Mr. Chen Nan is not good at depicting stories, I may be a little offended when I say this, but just like I can't draw, but I want to create the best comics, this is a truth that I have long understood, people can't be all-encompassing, but if you join forces, these shackles are not a problem." ”
"And what is the third point?"
"The third point ......" Tang Xuan stopped and glanced at his coffee cup, then raised his head and smiled to meet Chen Nan's gaze: "That is, Teacher Chen Nan and I belong to the same kind of people, both are the kind of people who strive for perfection and refuse to give up, because of this, I think that if I form a combination with Teacher Chen Nan, no author in Fantasy magazine will be our opponent." ”
To be honest, Chen Nan has some intention in his heart, and everything else is easy to say, but only the last point, perseverance and the desire to win, are also what Chen Nan has been pursuing. But Liang Yu, the collaborator in the past, or Guo Pinyuan, the editor in charge of them, all have the idea that as long as they don't lose, they can stabilize the ranking, and they lack the motivation to impact upward.
Although she also knows that it is quite difficult to snatch the first place, but if she doesn't have the fighting spirit from the beginning, then how can she do it?
I have to say that Tang Xuan's words made her have a lot of changes in his opinion, but what really made Chen Nan decide was the manuscript in her hand. (To be continued.) )
