109. Annual Meeting
January 1, New Year's Day.
After the day of Comiket's hustle and bustle, Liang Yu couldn't be idle at all, although the club of Cangnan High School also planned to hold a celebration banquet, but Liang Yu was going to attend another banquet.
- An annual meeting held by Shiratori Society, which belongs to Fantasy magazine.
This is an evening attended by all "active" cartoonists, starting at 5 o'clock in the evening.
At this time, Liang Yu has already put on the new clothes for today's banquet, originally on this occasion, most of the men are in suits and leather shoes, while the women are in dresses, but Liang Yu and Chen Nan are not yet old, so there is no need to be too rigid about such rules. Of course, it's important to just dress appropriately.
Liang Yu's current outfit was specially bought for her by her mother not long ago, wearing a white knitted sweater inside, a pink jacket outside, with a woven scarf with an ornamental effect greater than warmth, a checked skirt with black pantyhose warm boots on the bottom, and a hat that can cover her ears and hang two small pompoms on her shoulder blades, no matter how you look at it, it feels warm. However, Liang Yu himself doesn't like it very much, because this dress is too feminine. Of course, there is nothing wrong with her current gender, but it still feels awkward to wear it on her body.
It's still a while before the party, and she's sitting and texting.
The contact of the text message is the artist Lu Feifei, who has not been seen for a long time, in addition to the glorious idol singer on the bright face, Lu Feifei is also a hidden house.
Although I couldn't participate in Comiket because of work.,But it seems that I also asked someone to buy the doujinshi created by Liang Yu's community.,Now I'm writing about my feelings.。
Ah Zhai can't stop talking about his favorite topics, which is quite annoying for ordinary people, and it will also have an impact on work, Lu Feifei usually pays attention to it, and only at this time does he not have to deliberately hide it.
"I've seen the work of "Oriental Fantasy Village", the painting is really amazing, it's amazing, if you have this level, you can try to develop in the direction of professionalism."
Lu Feifei still doesn't know that Liang Yu has debuted as the original author of the comics, not because Liang Yu deliberately concealed it, but because he simply didn't have a suitable opportunity to explain.
"That's mainly because the other people in the community are more powerful." Liang Yu can only reply like this, after all, Bai Ya and Xiaolin's strength is there, and Tao Meihua, who is serialized in commercial magazines as a cartoonist like her, is particularly good at this kind of work that shows the cuteness of girls, which is incomparable to her for the time being.
Therefore, although the Comiket exhibition was quite successful, Liang Yu still failed to evaluate her painting skills, which made her feel lost.
"So Xiaoyu is in charge of that piece?" After all, they were separated by two places, and only by virtue of the text conveyed on the mobile phone, Lu Feifei might not be able to detect Liang Yu's state of mind, she simply asked curiously.
"I wrote the story." After thinking about it, Liang Yu added: "Refer to the original." ”
"Hey, is it a story, I like this Gensokyo story quite a bit." After Lu Feifei sent this message, she didn't wait for Liang Yu to reply, and quickly sent another one: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm going to attend a performance in the evening, and I'm going to start preparing now, let's talk later." ”
For celebrities, time does not belong to them, and there is no way to do it.
"Okay." Liang Yu deleted the content that he had just entered, changed two words and sent it out, in fact, someone had already called not long ago, it was the driver invited by the White Bird Club to pick up Liang Yu to attend the banquet, and it was estimated that he was about to arrive.
The other party replied with a smile on his face.
---
On the other side, there is Gu Chengfeng's house in the Runda Garden residential area.
Today is New Year's Day, the assistants are on holiday, and Gu Chengfeng is now facing the mirror, carefully choosing which tie to wear at the banquet.
It was the first time he had worn such a formal suit, and of course, it was the first time he had attended the company's annual meeting.
But there is a reason why Gu Chengfeng, who usually doesn't pay much attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation, has become so formal now.
This matter dates back to a few months ago, by the way, it was after Liang Yu and the others persuaded Bai Ya's father to let Bai Ya stay in the club to continue creating comics.
Gu Chengfeng has never put the "Chess Soul" in the same magazine, Liang Yu and Chen Nan's cooperation, but after Liu Xiang, the editor who suddenly visited on that rainy day, said that, he inevitably cared.
After all, it was the editor who said, "I think the two of them could be your biggest rivals."
Soon after that, Gu Chengfeng rejected the proposal to start an animation now, he is a person with high self-esteem, and he wants to prove one thing, that is, he will definitely be able to become a Fantasy pillar level author. At that time, it was those animation companies that came to beg him and asked to remake his works, instead of relying on each other's light now, and the plot direction of the animation after that would depend on the other party's face.
As for "Chess Soul", which was only ranked ninth, he snorted coldly in his heart.
But then, "Chess Soul" began an unexpected streak. Its ranking has always fluctuated between 6th and 10th, which can be said to be quite stable, although it has not been able to surpass Gu Chengfeng's works, but in this way, Gu Chengfeng had to reluctantly admit that the other party seemed to be doing a good job.
But the problem lies in the 52nd issue of the magazine that published the 14th episode of "Chess Soul" not long ago, "Chess Soul" won the first place in one fell swoop, and Gu Chengfeng worked hard to prepare for the outbreak of the ** plot before the New Year, "Wang Tinghui Yin", which only won the second, as for the other old serial "Dragon Sword", because of the strength of "Chess Soul" and the headline of a newcomer's work, it was squeezed out of the top five positions.
Damn, Gu Chengfeng felt like he had been slapped in the face, and his face was spicy.
This Liangzi was in a place that Liang Yu and Chen Nan didn't know, and it ended inexplicably.
Today, it happens to be the annual meeting, all the new and old authors who have serialized on Fantasy will participate, and new stars like Gu Chengfeng and Liang Yu, who won the Golden Apple and Red Dragon Awards this year, are to be awarded at the annual meeting, and the debut experience and age between the two are about the same, and they will inevitably be evaluated together, and Gu Chengfeng plans to take this opportunity to declare war on each other.
Hmph, it's just by virtue of winning the lottery to surpass yourself once, don't get carried away.
Gu Chengfeng remembered that the first episode of "Chess Soul" had been sent to the printing department to start photocopying and preparing for publication, perhaps compared with the sales of single books, it was a good means of revenge, you must know that the sales of his two single comics were quite good.
While he was thinking, his cell phone rang.
It was the editor Liu Xiang who called.
"Chengfeng, we have gone downstairs to your house, come down quickly." The editor commanded succinctly.
Gu Chengfeng hung up the phone and grinned at himself in the mirror.
Teacher Liang Yu, Teacher Chen Nan, I'm here.
