It's summer.

In July, the temperature in the afternoon soared to 39 degrees.

However, Li Yuntao and Cang Shuhong were blowing the air conditioner at home, eating more than ten catties of watermelons that they bought by the way when the two of them went out to help buy vegetables in the morning.

"This melon is so sweet. Cang Shuhong was very happy to dig the watermelon with a spoon and praised.

"Eat more sweet. Although Li Yuntao thinks that watermelons are average, he can't say that they are bad. After all, the red girl of Cangshu said that the watermelon was sweet, who said that it was not sweet, and blew up his dog's head.

The two of them ate half of it and left it for their parents. Li Yuntao's parents seem to have frequent activities in their old age after retirement, and the old colleagues in the former unit are particularly close to each other after retiring and eliminating those trivial disputes. At least during the day, when I go to the chess and card room to play cards, I always like to get together.

For the happy cards for the elderly, Li Yuntao feels that there is an obvious purchasing agent.

Similarly, the elderly don't quite understand the fun of Fat House Happy Water (Cola), Fat House Happy Tea (Lemon Tea), Fat House Happy Things (Pepsi Potato Chips), Fat House Happy Beast (Meow, Wang), Fat House Happy Fan (Anime), Fat House Happy Glue (Figure Figure), Fat House Happy Bang (Bang Bang Bang) and so on.

Cang Shuhong traveled to Li Yuntao's world for more than ten days.

During this time, the tacit understanding between the two has deepened day by day, and there are more topics not only in novels and comics and other works. At least, Cangshuhong even learned the Chinese Pinyin input method. You must know that Cang Shuhong modified the article for Li Yuntao before, and he actually used a handwritten input method.

Compared with Li Yuntao and Cang Shuhong's Chinese calligraphy, Li Yuntao's calligraphy is simply miserable, and the primary school Chinese teacher must want to hit someone when he sees this character. Whether it is a handwriting board, a pen, or a brush, Cangshuhong can write a little calligraphy charm. In this regard, Li Yuntao has not touched paper and pen for at least ten years, and the most used for writing is to sign the contract and sign when receiving the express delivery.

At the same time, Li Yuntao also made a bunch of comments on Cang Shuhong's comic creation. Although Li Yuntao does not know how to create comics, even if he goes to be an assistant, he does not know basic skills such as line drawing, background drawing, and blacking. If he is asked to help with the creation of the bed, it can only be a disservice.

However, Li Yuntao is a strong mouthpiece, and he gave a bunch of suggestions for the style of comics.

"In terms of the style of comics, you must form a distinct personal character. Li Yuntao said, "If you don't have a distinctive personality and look different from other people's comics at a glance, such a cartoonist will have to maintain a high level of creativity if his works have always maintained a high level of creativity." Once the subject matter and brain hole of the comic can't keep up with the development of the times, it will quickly be forgotten by readers. However, the cartoonists who have formed their own unique style are different, and the concise painting style like "Doraemon" has not changed much for decades, but that set of distinctive and easy-to-remember painting styles and themes will not hit the street for decades. Also, Rumiko Takahashi, "Ranma", "Inuyasha" and a series of works, the characters in different works are actually very similar. The protagonists of many new works may be found in previous works with basically similar faces, and the feeling of changing clothes and hairstyles is exactly the same. Therefore, it is best for comics to form a unified style element, so that as soon as others see this element, they can remember that it is created by a certain author, because the goodwill of the previous work will be transplanted to the new work, so that the reader will be more tolerant of the new work. ”

"Yes, it makes sense. Cang Shuhong took a small notebook to note.

"And then there's moving! Some touching in life, or some kind of small emotion, if it can be properly integrated into the work, well, it means the appropriate use. It is reasonable to touch the reader's feelings, for example, to make the reader cry, to make the reader excited, to make the reader feel warm, and to make the reader feel ashamed. If you can do this and play with the reader's feelings, then the work can also be very successful. For example, the highest-grossing "Breaking the Sky" in our online literary works, the main selling point of this work is a resonance, the protagonist is divorced, looked down upon, and the simple desire to promote is suppressed, mobilizing a long plot line. It may not be able to move everyone, but as long as some people resonate with the emotions of the work, such a work will definitely be popular, and the degree of popularity depends on how many readers resonate. Li Yuntao said, "The popular comic "corw" on the juvenile "JUMC" is also a momentum and emotion of the sub-author. Although, the author is very young, his feelings and momentum are also very superficial, and the plot and lines are even more thin and almost non-existent, and the whole thing is supported by that kind of battle scene and momentum. This kind of very young author, the coolest picture conceived in his mind, does not need to rely on depth and plot, only those shapes and momentum, it can be a mess. Therefore, it is no wonder that the works of the new wife Eiji will be popular. Even if you get to our side of the world, it will definitely become a popular manga that can be serialized. ”

Cangshuhong nodded again and again and said, "Although, I don't like that kind of work that is too royal, but the new wife Eiji is definitely the most talented among young cartoonists." ”

"Actually, Teacher Cang Shuhong, in my opinion, is not inferior to any of their geniuses. Li Yuntao said with a smile, "Girl cartoonists, with their unique gorgeous painting style and details, do a better job than those top cartoonists." The problem now is that the writing and painting style are not a problem, but there are less things on the style, if you design more plots or lines that are full of style, the number of die-hard fans is bound to surge!"

This is also Li Yuntao's view of novels, what is the biggest difference between many Xiaobai works and a bunch of works with brainless fans?

The main thing is - forced!

Some of the forced style is the writing of the work, such as the general manager of wind and fire, the writing is different from most online novels, just the writing of the wind and fire and excerpting some sentences and paragraphs, can make its fans have a feeling that we are different.

There are also some like "Infinite Horror", which have been imitated by countless people, but rarely surpassed, which is essentially the forced character behind its original setting. If others copy the setting ideas, but can't learn to force the style, then they can only copy the tiger and draw the cat, and raise the status of "Infinite Terror" to a higher level.

The works co-created by Li Yuntao and Cang Shuhong, whether it is novels or comics, are developing in the direction of pure whiteness, which is estimated to be impossible. After all, neither of them is the kind of character with a royal theme, and the work develops in that direction, and it can only be high or low. Therefore, Li Yuntao feels that if it develops in the direction of pretending, it can not only attract Lao Bai, but also attract Xiao Bai.
