"Junior brother, we're going to compete on stage in an hour, you go put on makeup."

Lu Yi has a message in the improvised discussion group @李想.

After receiving the news, Li Xiang stopped receiving new guests, and also informed the girls who helped to solicit customers:

"I'm going to change my clothes, we're going to close the shop for the time being, and I'll leave when I'm done with the few orders in hand."

The young lady gave Li Xiang a "OK" gesture.

After making the crepes for the last few guests, Li wanted to take off his apron and go to the place where they had told him to change clothes.

In order to enrich the content of the exhibition, in addition to the regular content, the organizer also held a small coser restoration competition, each participant in the comic exhibition can exchange for a vote with their own access card, and during the event, you can vote for your favorite one or a group of players, and the winner can get a bonus of 5,000 yuan. Fang Feiwan and Li Xiang participated in this small event.

In addition, there are various performances, live dubbing and other entertainment projects in the venue, in short, domestic comic conventions have become more and more commercial since the entry of capital.

But this has nothing to do with Li Xiang and them, they are just a group of two-dimensional enthusiasts who play tickets, and it is just a matter of interest to prepare for the performance seriously.

The place to change clothes is on the ground floor of an office building, which has a lot of space but is not obstructed, and the cosers need to be self-reliant. Some boys and girls who are more worried about exposure will also choose to go to the toilet cubicle to change clothes.

Of course, most of the cosers have already changed their clothes at home, and they only need to touch up their makeup when they arrive at the venue to go shopping.

Fang Feiwan and the others had already changed their clothes, and when Li Xiang was ready, they were about to go on stage.

"Senior Li Xiang, your clothes are here."

As soon as he entered the dressing area, Li Xiang saw Fang Feiwan waving to him with a bag of clothes.

The character that Li Xiang wants to restore this time is relatively simple in terms of dress, that is, a suit-style suit with a bow tie. Generally speaking, most of the male protagonists of island anime dress more easily than the female protagonists. And the work of Whirlwind Butler is closer to real life. When it comes to dressing, the only more exaggerated decoration that Li Xiang wants to wear is a blue short wig hood.

Because he is a boy and has other clothes inside, Li Xiang has nothing to be pretentious. I took off my jacket and pants and changed my clothes.

After changing clothes, Li Xiang was pressed on a chair by Jiang He, the leader of the makeup team, and began to put on makeup.

When applying the foundation, Jiang He felt the smooth touch of his fingertips, and couldn't help but be amazed:

"Do you boys have such good skin?"

After Lee Xiang returned from the world of swords, Irel rebuilt his body. As a by-product of the reconstruction, all the parts of Li Xiang's body are now brand new. The newly formed skin has not been exposed to the wind and sun and a lot of ultraviolet rays, and it is as white and full of collagen as a child's skin.

"That, Miss Jianghe, time may be a little tight, can we continue to put on makeup?"

Li Xiang's face was full of black lines.

"Okay, okay, I got it. Don't frown, the fluted foundation on your face is easy to apply unevenly. ”

Jiang He carefully applied layers of cosmetics such as eye shadow and lipstick to Li Xiang.

"Well, this look was a success."

Jiang He looked at his "work" and smiled with satisfaction.

She thought of a small mirror for Li: "Let's see for yourself." What do you think? ”

Li Xiang lowered his head, and after some busy work, Li Xiang in the mirror completely became the appearance of a handsome young man. Bright eyes and bright teeth, eyes with autumn waves, carefully groomed eyes are the biggest highlight of the whole face. Under the combined effect of mascara, double eyelid eyeshadow and eyeliner, Li Xiang felt as if his eyes had more than doubled.

"It's a witch."

Li Xiang was full of emotion in his heart.

"The setting of the male protagonist is a boy who is as beautiful as a girl. The contours of your face are softer, and your foundation is pretty good. The degree of restoration is not bad. Toffee, what do you think? ”

"Huh? Let me see. ”

Concubine Fang licked a mouthful of ice cream and turned her head to look at Li Xiang:

"yes, that's good."

"Okay, you hurry up and finish the cone in your hand, and I have to give you lipstick, it's really troublesome."

Jiang He saw the red lipstick marks on the surface of the cone, and felt that his head was big.

After finishing the modeling, Li Xiang was taken by Fang Feiwan to the backstage of the makeshift stage.

At this time, there are already many participants waiting in the background. As far as Li wants to see, there are more than a dozen themes such as EVA and Attack on Titan. And Lu Yi has already taken several girls from the club to wait in the backstage corner.

"President, we're here."

"Well, it's good to be here. Three more and we'll be on the field. Don't be nervous, everyone. We are here to play, and we should have fun when we play, and we don't have any psychological burden. But I don't think you should have this kind of problem, we have three acting majors here! If you have stage fright, let alone acting, even finding a job will be a problem. ”

Lu Yi half-jokingly.

After the three groups of contestants before them stepped down, it was finally Li Xiang's turn to take the stage.

After a brief introduction by the host, several members of the club appeared on stage.

Judging from the degree of reduction, Li Xiang's cos is still quite successful. Especially several young ladies, including Li Xiang, are quite capable of playing in appearance, and the visual effects score is very high.

And in the performance link as a plus, the acting skills that the young ladies have learned professionally and systematically won the house.

The satisfaction of the audience was finally reflected in the voting, and they received the most votes, won the first place, and the first place prize of 5,000 yuan.

At 6 p.m., the first day of the show came to an end. The Comic Con was held for three days, and the shops and groups that participated in it for three days left their things at the venue. But Lu Yi and the others only planned to participate for one day, so they returned today.

"Did you have fun today, senior?"

On the way back, Fang Feiwan and Li Xiang, who was pushing the cart, fell at the back of the line. Fang Feiwan ate a lollipop and chatted with Li Xiang.

"It's a little different from what I thought, but it's still a lot of fun. However, if I had to do it again, I probably wouldn't have come. ”

"Oh, why?"

Fang Feiwan handed Li Xiang a piece of chewing gum. Towards Li Xiang, he gave a "do you want to" look.

Li Xiang took the piece of chewing gum, opened the package, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"How can I say it? In the past, I used to look forward to events like comic conventions, concerts, and dance parties, and I thought it would be fun to have so many people attending. But then it turned out that the excitement may bring momentary pleasure, but it does not bring real satisfaction. For an old man like me, joining in this kind of excitement should be the last ......"

Li Xiang's voice became smaller and smaller from the second sentence, and by the last sentence, Fang Feiwan could no longer hear it clearly.

"Senior Li Xiang, what did you say?"

"It's nothing, I'm just talking to myself, don't care."

At this time, Li Xiang didn't know that if everyone could only scoop out one scoop of water from the long river of time, after signing the contract with Iriel, he could already scoop out several scoops or even dozens of scoops of time water. From this time on, his consciousness had begun to deviate from the orbit of "human nature" and slide in an unknown direction.

After returning to the dormitory, Li Xiang was "warmly welcomed" by his roommates.

"Yo, our big handsome guy is back. Did you hook up with any girl today? ”

Fang Guoping, who was chewing fresh beef jerky sent from home, joked with a smile.

"No, non-existent."

Li Xiang took out a piece of beef jerky from the bag in Fang Guoping's hand, broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth. The flavor of the beef rushes straight to the nose.

"Lao Fang, your beef jerky tastes really good. If you open a store to sell it, it will definitely be popular. ”

"Okay, I know my own business. Don't look at this is just a small bag of beef jerky, not only to dry, but also to brush the surface with layers of honey, mixed with honey spices are more particular, it can be troublesome to do. If it weren't for the fact that my mother was afraid of my greed, she would definitely not be bothered. ”

"That's right." Wang Shunuo, who was also eating beef jerky, interjected: "Li Xiang didn't turn off the computer when you went out in the morning, and you seem to have received an email." The title is in Japanese, and we didn't read the content, so remember to read it yourself. ”

"Okay, I got it."

Li wanted to click on his mailbox, and sure enough, as Wang Shunuo said, the top of the unread email in the mailbox was an email with a Japanese title.

After a cursory look, it seems that this email was sent jointly by Dengeki Bunko and Kawahara Rishi. The content of the email is about the infringement of the video he posted.

"It's really efficient."

Li Xiang was amazed.

Since his video was released on station B after passing the review, it has only been less than five days now. I didn't expect the other party to find out about the problem so quickly and send him an email.

Of course, the fact that the copyright owner would send a letter was originally expected by Li Xiang. That's why he originally attached his contact email address to his account and video.

"Lao Li, look at your appearance, you seem to be able to understand. When did you learn Japanese? ”

Seeing Li Xiang browsing the content of the email at a glance, Zhao Yibo was surprised.

"I've always been, self-taught. I just didn't tell you. ”

The answer Li wanted to give was, of course, false. The real reason why he learned Japanese was because he had lived in the world of halberd spirits for decades. In the past few decades, the country he has spent the longest time in is the island country next door to the halberd world.

Li Xiang, who has lived in that environment for so long and has studied languages, is naturally not a problem to read a Japanese document at this time.

After downloading a Japanese input method, Li Xiang crackled and replied.

The issue of infringement is not big or small, but when the parties can reach a settlement privately, the laws of any country are too lazy to meddle. Li Xiang's original plan was to let the other party take the initiative to contact him after the popularity of the video fermented.

After all, Denki Bunko and Kawahara, the original author of the sword, are both well-known existences in the industry, and he is just an ordinary student, so even if he sends them a letter, it is estimated that he will not be able to get a response. Now it's different.,With the east wind of the fan-jin video he uploaded,,The other party took the initiative to contact him.,In this way,He has a certain initiative.。

In Li Xiang's view, the videos he released did not generate any actual profits, but only brought invisible wealth such as popularity and attention, and there was no chance to monetize. In other words, the "fanvideo" he made not only did not harm the interests of the original author, but to some extent provided heat for the original work of Sword.

The most important thing is that the purpose of Li Xiang's video is the power of faith, which does not conflict with real-world money, and as long as he makes concessions on the profit obtained from the video, it should be relatively easy to reach a settlement.

With this mentality, Li Xiang mailed his reply to the other party.

In his reply, Li Xiang put forward some of his own suggestions and conditions. And suggested that the two sides "went private" with each other.

It seems that this matter is quite important in the eyes of the other party. Less than half an hour after Li Xiang's reply was sent, he received a reply from the other party.

In the end, after some discussion, the other company expressed its willingness to send personnel to Li Xiang's location to exchange views in person.

It was naturally good to be able to meet in person, and Li Xiang gladly accepted the other party's request. And agreed with the other party to meet in three days.

At this point, Li Xiang finally stopped tapping on the keyboard. Seeing that Li Xiang seemed to be busy, Zhao Yibo asked curiously:

"Lao Li, what were you doing just now? String after string of bird texts on the screen. ”

"A friend I know from an island country asked me something, and I just answered it for a while."

Li Xiang explained seemingly nonchalantly:

"I can't see it, Lao Li, you still have this kind of stunt, I would have asked you to help me translate the resources on my plate if I knew it. The lack of subtitles and translations is really uncomfortable to look at! ”

"Go, go, and behold thy virtue. Pull it down, I'm not going to do it! ”

Li Xiang grabbed his toiletries and went to the bathroom.

At this moment, in the island country on the other side of the strait, in the headquarters of the Dengeki Library, a middle-aged man who seemed to be a superior was explaining his work to his subordinates.

"Watanabe-kun, this time the company is going to give you a special task as an excellent employee."

The middle-aged man took out a document and gave it to Watanabe.

The content of the document is obviously about the infringement of Li Xiang's video.

"Section chief, do you mean that I should fight for more rights and interests for the company?"

"No, no, no...... the middle-aged minister shook his head, "This is just the material you will use at that time, and the real purpose of the company sending you is to find out whether the other party has 'technology' in hand." ”

"Technology?"

"Yes, if you've seen the video they've made, you'll know. The production of this 'fandom' is so good that it far exceeds all the works of animation companies that can be found on the market, but the production cycle of the other party is obviously not long, which shows that if the other party does not have a large investment, through the way of speeding up production and improving quality regardless of the cost, or has a new animation production technology that is enough to subvert the existing market system, the latter is more likely, if we can obtain this technology, or even get cooperation with the other party, then we can get a rare business opportunity. ……
