Chapter 179: All of a sudden, there was extra income
On the morning of July 9th, in the practice room of Loen Entertainment Agency, Li Xia was being pulled by several trainees to ask for comics.
"Oba, Yona wants to read comics."
Shen Youna pulled Li Xia and coquettishly.
Needless to say, it must be the news revealed by Li Yu's girl.
"My ID is Gangnam" ushered in the serial premiere of the comic two days ago, and today Li Xia was blocked by several trainees as soon as he came to the practice room.
At first, he thought it was a few girls begging for personal paintings, but he didn't worry too much because he had already painted a few of them.
But it's a comic, then he really doesn't have the right to give it, after all, this is Lin Wen's copyright.
"Yona, I really don't have a manuscript in my hand." Being pulled by Shen Youna, Li Xia was not angry with such a cute girl, and his tone was full of helplessness, "How could Oba lie to Youna?" ”
"Huh? Okay, but Oba drew it, so be sure to dedicate it to me. Shin Youna was obviously a little disappointed, but she still smiled at Li Xia.
"Yona, how about the comics of "My ID is Gangnam"?" Lixia asked.
Although he has been drawing in his free time these days, he hasn't paid much attention to the comic serialization, so he is still quite curious when he hears Shin Youna's words here.
Although comics are not his favorite direction, since he is drawing and publishing, he wants to be recognized.

It's not vanity, it's not that Richa lacks the income from comics. It's just a painter who wants his work to be better; Just like he used to post his work on online forums, he also wanted to improve his painting technique through other people's opinions.
"It's beautiful!" Shin Yoona said happily, "Oba's painting is so good, even Yona wants such a beautiful face." ”
Well, Li Xia was a little embarrassed, and he asked how the plot was.
As far as the pure single comics are concerned, the details and drawing methods displayed are definitely not as good as those drawn by Li Xia before, so Li Xia asks about the plot between the comics, that is, whether there is harmony between the sub-shots.
Unexpectedly, Shen Youna directly said that the heroine's face was good-looking, and she even wanted it herself, which was unacceptable, Li Xia hurriedly spoke, "Youna herself is very beautiful, what I asked Youna what she thinks of the plot of the comics?" ”
The node at the end of the first issue of the comic "My ID is Gangnam" is also very particular. The encounter between the beautiful beauty and the school grass, will there be a collision between them?
It's no different from the abominable Broken Chapters Dog.
"Of course it's good, my friends and I want to know if the school grass likes Meilaixi?"
Sure enough, Shen Youna was looking expectantly.
"What do you think?" Li Xia smiled, his painting skills are good, the plot of the story is okay, and the suspense left in the end is to bury the readers who have fallen into the pit.
........
After chatting with the trainees for a while, Li Xia left the practice room.
He then emphasized to them that it was okay to have fun in their free time, but they still had to be serious about practicing time, after all, this was their main business.
He then drove to Lim Wen's studio in Mapo-gu.
There are only a few people in the whole studio, except for one who is a little older, everyone else has a beautiful girl in common.
"Are you sure you're running a studio?" Li Xia is sometimes really a little suspicious of Lin Wen's thoughts, these people are afraid that they haven't graduated from college, right?
Lin Wen glanced at him, "Isn't this you?" They just need to learn. ”
"Come on, let's introduce, this is Li Xia, the editor-in-chief of the first serialized comic of our "Maple Leaf Society". Lin Wen proudly introduced it to everyone.
"Ri Xia is a student of Seoul National University, and her previous paintings have been in the exhibition hall of the Seoul National University School of Art, so you can learn more from Ri Ha."
"Hello Senior Lixia, I have contacted you Jin Xian'er before." A girl introduced herself.
"Hello, I'm Lixia." Li Xia stretched out his hand and shook her lightly, he had connected with this Jin Xian'er before about the comic production of "My ID is Gangnam", in general, Jin Xian'er was in charge of the first draft, and Li Xia was in charge of perfecting.
“......”
"I'm Lin Meishan, and I'm in charge of coloring and rendering."
After some politeness, Xia finally got to know all the staff of "Maple Leaf Society".
This Lin Meishan is a middle-aged woman of about forty, responsible for the post-production of comics, this studio is really simple, and the main framework is now Li Xia and Lin Meishan.
However, before Li Xia had time to think about anything else, Jin Xian'er opened her mouth and said to him: "Senior, I have drawn the draft of the follow-up to the second issue in the past few days, do you want to take a look." ”
Jin Xian'er was just a recent graduate found by Lin Wen, and she didn't have much experience in the past, so she wanted to study more.
In the past, when I communicated with Li Xia, it was all online, where is it good to have on-site guidance.
"Hmm." Li Xia nodded, "Go to your office." ”
After so many days of communication with Jin Xian'er, he also knew that this was a girl who wanted to learn, which was inconvenient before, but now it is a convenient thing, and he naturally will not refuse.
After seeing Li Xia nodding, she hurriedly came to her office position, took out a few pieces of drawing paper from the table, and then pulled her office chair to let Li Xia sit.
Li Xia didn't say anything, didn't sit down, but looked directly at the drawing paper on her desk.
"Senpai, how's it going?" At this time, Jin Xian'er didn't care whether Li Xia was standing, what she cared about now was the level of her paintings.
"Hmm, Jin Xian'er Xi has been very busy with work lately, so don't you have time to read the comics we serialized before?"
In fact, for comics, the painting technique is really not too demanding.
Students who graduated from normal art academies, as long as they are not too bad, are almost always able to complete the production of a painting.
The difficulty of the comic is the complex plot, and there are some details of the background.
It's not just Jin Xian'er, but now Li Xia is also crossing the river by feeling the stones, so he will ask the opinions of the people around him and other readers.
Jin Xian'er's painting is not much different from the draft given to him at the beginning.
When the heroine walked on the road, it was still so flat, and the wildflowers on the side of the road were still quietly blooming, and nothing had changed.
"Huh? I.
。 "Jin Xian'er can't quite speak.
After knowing that the boss would invite their editor-in-chief to come to the company recently, Jin Xian'er was indeed in a hurry to paint, so she didn't take a closer look at the painting that Li Xia sent her before.
It's just a matter of handing over the painting to someone else and doing the post-production.
"Hmm, do you have a copy on your computer?" Lixia asked.
"Yes, there is." Jin Xian'er hurriedly sat on the chair, clicked on the computer in a panic with the mouse, and even accidentally opened the webpage where she fished by herself.
However, Li Xia has no special opinion on this, and he also fishes at work.
"Senior, that's it." Jin Xian'er flipped out the comic and said to Li Xia.
Li Xia flipped through the comics with the mouse, and finally stopped at a background that was somewhat similar to the drawing that Jin Xian'er had just given him.
"Look here." Li Xia pointed with his finger, "What should be different between these two shots?" Risa asked.
"The face is different." Jin Xian'er replied.
"What else?"
It is indeed two faces that have changed their appearance, so what Jin Xian'er said is right.
"Uh-huh,,, uh-huh.
。 "Jin Xian'er can't find too much.
"These two paintings represent the mood of Meilai before and after the change of appearance."
Li Xia pointed to two "Meilai", one with a slight bow when walking, and the other with a confident smile.
So the background can't be the same.
The wind is drifting, and the flowers are laughing.
In this way, the details of the moment can be highlighted~ This is why Jin Xian'er is the first draft, and it needs to be polished before it can be taken out for serialization.
"I see, Senpai." Jin Xian'er said dejectedly.
Li Xia patted her on the shoulder, "Well, continue to work hard in the future, if you don't understand, you can ask me." ”
It is true that at the beginning, Li Xia was also a little confused about comics, but the response to this issue was good, and the first issue of comics turned out to be tens of thousands of sales orders.
Although there are readers of the original book and Lin Wen's good publicity, but in the end, the sales are the sales of comics, and the comments on the Internet are not bad now, and there are still many people who want to chase more.
This gave him confidence, so now he also has some opinions of his own, and he still has the confidence to speak.
"Thank you, senior."
"Well, then you can try to refine the first draft later." Li Xia nodded, and did not refuse Jin Xian'er to call him a senior, after all, he really taught her something.
He is also not stingy in teaching, after all, the stronger Jin Xian'er is, the smaller the workload he will have in the future.
........
In Lin Wen's office, he poured a cup of tea for Li Xia.
"You kid, you almost scared me to death just now."
"This Jin Xian'er is not bad, you can try to put her in charge of serializing comics in the future." Generally speaking, Li Xia is more satisfied with Jin Xian'er, has basic ability, and is willing to learn, so Li Xia doesn't care much about the shortcomings of not controlling the details in place.
"Hehe, I have a good eye." Lin Wen smiled.
Li Xia picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, didn't say anything, the blind cat just ran into a dead mouse, Li Xia didn't really think that Lin Wen had any vision, at most he only found the vision of a beautiful girl.
"The office next to it is for you, but I didn't expect you to come so soon, so I haven't cleaned it up yet."
Seeing that Li Xia didn't joke with him, Lin Wen also brought the topic back to the topic.
"As I said before, I'm not going to focus on that." Li Xia frowned, this guy couldn't have tasted the sweetness, so he planned to press him here, right?
Lin Wen didn't answer him directly, but continued to talk to himself, "I account for seventy percent of the sales income of this comic, you account for thirty percent, there are about 20 million, I will hit your card when I find time." ”
These words made Li Xia stand up instantly, "What do you mean?" ”
"Dividends, this studio is our two, but most of the costs in the early stage are taken out by me, before I return to the capital, we will pay seven or three points, and then five or five points after the return to the capital."
Lin Wen said with a serious face, obviously looking at this studio as a good career.
The air was suddenly a little quiet, and Li Xia didn't know what Lin Wen meant by doing this.
In all fairness, Lin Wen did a very good job and was very good to Li Xia, but because it was so good, Li Xia didn't know how to accept it.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Rixia asked after a few seconds of pause.
Lin Wen glanced at him, "I told you before, can you agree?" Anyway, if I say it, I can't take it back, and people outside know that you will continue to do it here. ”
Lin Wen looked like a dead face.
Actually, the studio is nothing for both of them, but it's a testament to the deepening of their collaboration.
Lin Wen knew what Li Xia would do in the future, and he himself was developing in this direction, he didn't want to become an enemy with Li Xia, so he could only forcibly tie them together.
Li Xia sighed, "I really don't have time to be the editor-in-chief all the time. ”
"I didn't let you paint all the time, it's just a notion in the future, didn't you propose to let Jin Xian'er come? When this comic is over, let Jin Xian'er be the editor-in-chief. ”
A smile appeared on Lin Wenyan's face, he didn't expect Li Xia to answer like this.
Treat him as a painter, how is that possible!
"Okay." Li Xia nodded, it's hard to refuse again after that, "But if you share dividends, I will account for three achievements in the future." ”
Everything is from Lin Wen, he just helped a little at the beginning, and there is a name hanging in the back, and it is too much to take too much.
"It's all about the same, it's all the same." Lin Wen obviously didn't take this matter to heart, and he continued to speak, "Let's have a dinner together tonight, just to celebrate this good sales." ”
"By the way, can you call Sana and her teammates? Before, Na Lian Xi and Mina Xi helped to promote. ”
It's normal for Sasha Minato to share that she likes to watch comics, after all, Lin Wen knows that it is Li Xia's v friend, but Lin Nalian and Mingjing Nan also shared it during the live broadcast, which made Lin Wen feel a little strange.
Li Xia pursed her lips, "Hmm~ Forget it." ”
Mingjingnan is okay, Li Yu told herself that she asked Mingjingnan to help publicize it, but Lin Nalian's side, Li Xia really didn't know what was going on.
Just to be on the safe side!
"Ah, you're not going to be stepping on a few boats, are you? I'm once! ”
Lin Wen's eyes widened, could there be a problem?
"Fuck off." Li Xia glanced at him, this person was embarrassed to say that he was careful?
"Honestly, do you have anything to do with Na Lian Xi and Mina Xi?" Lin Wen is not exaggerating, he has been paying attention to twice, and he doesn't want to lose his idols one by one.
"Nope." Li Xia shook her head.
"Then why don't you invite them out to dinner?"
Li Xia glanced at him, "Because I'm not worried about you." ”
