Chapter 38 The Transparent Man of the Press Conference
"Zhou Manman, why did you come! I'm dying! ”
As soon as Zhou Manman came to the conference room of the Central Building, he was dragged into the corner by Wang Fei.
"Hey, Brother Fei, I don't seem to be late, it's half an hour early." Zhou Manman glanced at his phone, it was much earlier than the opening time, and he didn't understand why he looked like he was in a hurry and panicked.
"You, you, you! I knew you had to have a plain face, so I specially found a young lady from the company to be a makeup artist. As he spoke, he pouted to the side, and a cute girl with a beautiful face and delicate makeup nodded to Zhou Manman with a smile.
"Hey." Zhou Manman raised his hand and waved at her, smiled and greeted, and then lowered his voice and said to Wang Fei: "Uh, isn't it Brother Fei, do you still want makeup?" Is it so grand? I only have ten minutes, alas. ”
"You can't fight for some gas!" Wang Fei poked her head and said, "Don't you be grander when you participate in the event for the first time!" ”
"But I don't eat by my face, alas, I rely on my talent." Zhou Manman muttered.
"Let's go." Wang Fei didn't bother to take care of her and pushed her over.
"Manman, my name is Xiao Ke." The cute girl motioned for Zhou Manman to sit down, took out a bottle of liquid foundation in her makeup bag, and squeezed out a pump in her hand.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoke." Zhou Manman sat down obediently, "It's really bothering you, I don't think it's necessary to exaggerate so much......"
"Be sure to show up for your first press conference, fans will love to see beautiful walks." As she spoke, her hand movements kept moving, smearing it on Zhou Manman's face one by one.
"I'm a little nervous,......" Zhou Manman blinked and said, "I saw a lot of seniors at the door just now, all of them are very powerful, oh yes, I also saw Sister Amy." ”
"Brother Fei can get you a chance, which shows that your strength is great, don't be nervous, just treat it as a bunch of radish and cabbage." The soft brush swept quickly across her face, "Close your eyes." ”
Zhou Manman obediently complied, "Then I should take off the contact lenses, so that I can't see the expressions of the people below." ”
"That's a good idea, you wait." Xiao Ke rummaged through his makeup bag, and after a while, he took out a small box, "Well, you can put the contact lenses in here in a while." ”
"Hehe, thank you, Sister Xiaoke." Zhou Manman took it with both hands, a contact lens case as cute as Xiao Ke.
"Okay? Okay? Wang Fei rushed over, "It's about to start, it's a long time, you go to the stage quickly." With a wave of his hand, he pointed to the main stage of the press conference in front of him, on which there were already a few people sitting sporadically.
Zhou Manman nodded, lowered his head and took off the contact lenses in his eyes, and walked over cautiously, because of his myopia, the surrounding scene became blurred.
"Miss Zhou, please be seated." Miss Etiquette guided her to the corner seat, and several cartoonists around her were greeting, and Zhou Manman couldn't interject, so she sat down honestly.
At this fan meeting, they are all famous cartoonists who are veterans of the company, with old qualifications and high level, Zhou Manman looked sideways, these people used to be unattainable characters.
At this time, the audience has already arranged the seats, the company invited several more famous media, Zhou Manman looked at the audience, and vaguely saw various station signs.
I don't know if Shirakawa Canghe has arrived.
Just thinking about it, Zhou Manman took out his mobile phone from his pocket and tapped it in front of his eyes.
[Zhou Manman: Bai Chuan, have you arrived? 】
After a while, the phone vibrates.
[Shirakawa Canghe: It's going to be soon. 】
"Zhou Manman, you are here too."
Zhou Manman raised his head in question, and a vague figure with a graceful posture gradually walked in, and the appearance of the person in front of him slowly became clear as the distance increased.
"Sister Amy." Zhou Manman hurriedly stood up politely and said hello.
"I really didn't expect that after drawing my comic draft, I was invited by the company to participate?" Amy raised her chin and looked indifferent and frivolous, "Could it be, you deliberately broke my sketch, right?" ”
"What do you say? Sister Amy, how is it possible, this is the opportunity that Fei Ge will help me fight for. Zhou Manman saw her say this, and quickly refuted.
At this time, the people chatting around also stopped talking and turned their heads to look at the two of them.
"Hey, I'm just kidding, why are you so nervous." Amy's expression returned to normal, and his smile was kind and lovely, "Sit down, it's about to start." ”
After saying that, she twisted her body and returned to the middle of the stage to sit down.
Figures entered the venue one after another, and Zhou Manman looked up, only to see a group of people pouring in at the entrances and exits, it should be fans who came in.
“Amy!”
"Toast-kun Toast-kun!"
"The gods are great!"
……
Screams came and went.
Doodle......
Doodle......
The mobile phone vibrated twice, and Zhou Manman looked down.
[Shirakawa Canghe: Look up, I'm behind. 】
Zhou Manman looked up at the audience, but because she didn't have glasses, she squinted her eyes and looked back and forth blankly, but she still couldn't distinguish it.
She looked down at her phone again.
[Zu Ming: Manman, I'm here. 】
What? Zu Ming is also here? How did he know he was coming today?
Zhou Manman raised his head again, his eyes searching around in shock.
"Good afternoon, fans, friends!" The host's voice sounded, and Zhou Manman had no choice but to withdraw his gaze and listen attentively.
"Welcome all media reporters and dear fans and friends to the DreamWorks fan meeting, today we solemnly invited the company's top cartoonists to meet with you, everyone is welcome!"
There was a thunderous sound.
Zhou Manman pinched her hands under the table, her heart was pounding hard, she raised her head and wanted to ask Baichuan Canghe for help, but all she could see clearly was the dazzling flashing light, which made people dizzy.
"Then let's ask Toast-kun to talk to you first." The host handed the microphone to a tall boy, and Zhou Man looked sideways and saw that his hair was messy and unkempt.
A till wa-la introduction, the audience was full of girl's screams, Zhou Manman remembered that Toast Jun was famous for painting the plot of the girl Xiaotian, it is hard to imagine that such a sweet bubbling plot is from the hand of a man.
"Thank you, Toast-kun, let's look forward to Toast-kun's new work together!"
The microphone was handed to a middle-aged woman again, and the god was big.
"Thank you all for coming to this fan meeting, thank you to my supporters, my latest comic is being serialized, Super Fast Horror, I hope you enjoy it."
The god was loud and his voice was calm, and Zhou Manman couldn't help but stretch his neck to look at the god who was far away from her.
"Fans are welcome to ask questions." With that, the host handed the microphone to the audience, and the fans stood up and asked all kinds of strange questions.
"Of course, the most eye-catching and most anticipated is definitely our Amy." The host clapped his hands excitedly, and the audience screamed one after another.
"Amy is a comic artist at the level of our DreamWorks founder, and the comic books published are all very popular, I think there must be a lot of fans in the audience!"
"Yes!" Fans shouted at the top of their voices.
"Long time no see, dear guys." Amy's voice had the attraction of a royal sister, and even Zhou Manman couldn't help but like it.
"Today I came with the latest work "Super Like You", this is a new work that I have been brewing for nearly half a year, and I have put a lot of effort into it, many fans and friends often ask me why I haven't updated it yet, I want to polish and refine it over and over again, and I hope to present you with the most perfect work." She spoke endlessly, glancing at the clock hanging on the wall next to her.
"Thank you really Amy greatly." After a circle of fans asked questions, the host's calm speech became fast, her eyes were a little flustered, and she was about to go to Zhou Manman.
Zhou Manman leaned slightly sideways, ready to take over the microphone in the host's hand not far away.
"It's rare to see each other, dear, do you have any questions? I'm going to give you a chance! Amy interrupted the host, her slender eyes squinting at the audience.
"Me, me, me!"
"I, I! Look here! ”
Fans were eager to try, and Wang Fei, who was sitting on the side, had a change in color.
What does this Amy want to do? It was clearly said before that everyone's time is limited, and once she runs out, the last week of long time will be compressed.
"Beauty, give my fans a little more time." She winked at the embarrassed and nervous host and said with a smile.
"This ......" the host looked at the audience at a loss.
Probably because of the patriarchal figures, no one stopped it.
Zhou Manman's hand hanging in the air paused, and he looked at the fans who stood up to ask questions in the audience with some embarrassment.
After what seemed like a century of agony waiting, Amy pinched her watch and finished her session.
The microphone returned to the host's hand again, "The last one is a new painter from our DreamWorks, Zhou Manman, the first prize winner of the Dream Cup Comic Competition, everyone is welcome!" ”
Zhou Manman stood up and nodded hello to the audience.
"It's a long time, you only have a minute, you must take advantage of it." The host brought her the microphone and reminded her.
One minute, how to let everyone know and remember themselves?
"Come on!" The voices of fans sounded in the audience, although there were only a few scattered voices, but Zhou Man listened to it and was very moved.
Even if it's just for a minute, it can't disappoint these fans who support her.
She pondered, ready to speak.
"Can I just ask a question?" A clear male voice sounded in the audience.
"Huh? Is it okay? The host was caught off guard by the sudden voice and turned his head to ask her.
"Yes." This voice was so familiar, Zhou Manman naturally knew that it was him.
"I like Zhou Manman's paintings very much, and I have been chasing the serialized comics adapted from her award-winning work "Feather", I want to ask." The voice of the person in the audience paused, and continued: "Can you invite Zhou Manman to be my Coaster designer?" ”
The bored reporters and other fans in the audience all thought that this was just an ordinary fan expressing their affection, and this cartoonist was just a little transparent who had just been on the list, and everyone didn't care.
Hearing this unprecedented question, they all turned their heads to look at the person who was standing.
"Excuse me, who are you?" The host's voice rang out.
"Shirakawa Canghe."
