"Part-time. Caricaturist? Xia Yan was stunned when he heard this.

Then asked.

"I don't know which comic work the senior sister created? I've probably seen my senpai's masterpiece. ”

"Surely you haven't seen it." When the girl heard this, her fair and beautiful expression darkened, but she still squeezed out a smile and said.

When Xia Yan heard this, he sat up right at this time.

Although he is a little addicted to writing this year, the daily animation and manga reading have not fallen.

The word affirmation is clearly contemptuous of his level as an old two-dimensional.

Even if he really hadn't seen her works, if he didn't say anything at this time, Xia Yan would feel very uncomfortable.

"Maybe? I'm still interested in a lot of unpopular comics. Xia Yan said seriously again.

"My work. It's not on the market, how can you see it? When the girl heard this, she paused and said in a very reluctant tone.

Not on the market.

Xia Yan immediately understood the meaning when he heard it.

In other words, I haven't contributed to the comic magazine.

Xia Yan was embarrassed now.

There was silence for ten seconds.

"Okay, let's not talk about my part-time job in comics."

The girl carefully took out the single book to the moon from her bag, and then looked at Xia Yan with bright eyes.

"Sign it for me."

Xia Yan paused, this senior sister said that she was his fan, but in fact, she had a completely easy-going attitude when facing him, which was completely different from the fans she had met before.

And the personality is very lively.,A little self-cooked.。

But just by signing it, Xia Yan won't think too much.

After seeing the two big words "Xia Yan" on the single book of "To the Moon".

The girl's expression showed satisfaction.

Then, her operation came.

She tore a notebook from her bag.

"As the so-called courtesy exchanges, you give me an autograph, and I will also give you a signature."

A few seconds later, a piece of paper with the word "Moran" written on it returned to Xia Yan.

Xia Yan looked at the signature in his hand in confusion. But as a sign of respect, it is better to solemnly put it away.

"Don't take it lightly." Mo Ran saw Xia Yan's confusion, and chuckled at the corner of her lips.

"Although I'm still not well-known in the comics industry for the time being. But one day, I will definitely become one of the most popular female manga artists in the Dragon Kingdom manga industry. Junior brother, you and I exchange autographs. No loss at all"

"I've been interested in comics for a long time, and I've always felt that manga artists are also a fascinating profession, but unfortunately I was disabled, so I went to take charge of it. Senior sister has such lofty ideals, it really makes me."

Xia Yan also began to speak politely.

Not to mention anything else, this year, I contacted many book club staff and animation company personnel in society, and these farts really blurted out polite words that they didn't have, all of which were used by others to compliment Xia Yan on weekdays, and he learned the same.

"You're also interested in comics?"

Mo Ran, who was already about to leave with her bag, showed an interested expression on her beautiful face at this time.

"You're going to change careers and become a cartoonist?"

"Ahem, cough, cough" Xia Yan almost choked on coffee.

Sister, where did you hear that I meant this?

"I can only say that I have been interested in this industry before." Xia Yan said.

"That's it!" Hearing this, Mo Ran's clear eyes turned, and then said.

"Then if you really enter the Magic Capital University, you can inquire about the comic club, a student club, and I am the president. The number of members of our club is insufficient, and the number of members is limited, so I will reserve a member position for you now. ”

Xia Yan's eyes blinked, and he just wanted to refute.

"Okay, let's not talk to you, I still have something. If you don't know about Modu University and can't find a comic club, it doesn't matter, I'll come to you then. Yuanqing, a popular family in the magic capital, has enrolled in our school, and it is easy to find out about you when the time comes. ”

Mo Ran stroked the hair around her ears, waved goodbye to Xia Yan, and then trotted out of the café to leave.

Ha.

Xia Yan looked at her back, and it took a long time to calm down.

Although I feel that she is a little weird, but after chatting with her, I feel inexplicably comfortable.

Forget it, look at her like a three-minute hot person, what club to add to me after school starts, I guess I will forget it by then.

Shaking his head, Xia Yan drank all the coffee in the cup, not a drop was wasted.

He is reluctant to pay a cup of coffee for hundreds of yuan.

Although I don't think this thing tastes as good as instant coffee in the supermarket. Without technology and ruthless food, it does taste a little worse.

July

Xia Yan had nothing to do in the Demon Capital area for the time being, and soon went to apply for a driving school.

VVVIP package, one-to-one all-weather service, the coach will never dare to scold you, and hand you water when you are tired, take the initiative to ask you if you want to smoke, and you don't have to worry about booking an exam.

Everything is good, the only drawback is that it is expensive.

The other side.

The sales results of the first week after the release of the Moon Single Book were released.

Seventeen provinces in the whole dragon country, sales in the first week, total

1,870,000 copies.

And Cyberpunk Sin, the second-ranked work on the New God Ladder, sold only 910,000 copies in the first week.

In the Dragon Kingdom, there are indeed some volumes that sell tens of millions of copies on average.

But those works are not released every month, every week.

So in the last week, the title of the single-week single-line sales champion of Longguo fell to "go to the moon".

These sales data have been published in many magazines, and many readers are actually looking at the sales list, and the works with high sales may not be good-looking, but the ones with low sales must be rubbish.

This notion is ingrained in the minds of many readers.

After mid-July, the work "Going to the Moon" once again set off a wave of discussion in the Dragon Kingdom.

Tang Yin's father's "Sugar Man" Pictures also struck while the iron was hot and announced the news of the animation filmization of "To the Moon".

For a while, Xia Yan's fans all over the Dragon Country fell into a carnival together.

In mid-July, Xia Yan's college entrance examination results were released, with a total score of 453 points, which is an extremely mediocre result for the students of the No. 3 Middle School in Southern Province.

But this also means that Xia Yan can directly fill in the literature department of Modu University when the time comes, and he will be admitted 100% according to the letter of intent for special recruitment signed before.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xia Yan received a call from the school's admissions office.

And wait until mid to late July.

Bai Xuan, on her side, also officially gave Xia Yan a reply.

She asked Xia Yan to meet again and gave Xia Yan a contract.

As for the content of the contract, it is basically the one discussed by Xia Yan and Bai Xuan.

"There will be several vacancies for serialization in two months, and the parasitic beast, after the evaluation of our team, everyone has given this one a high evaluation. I will do my best to help Mr. Xia Yan and you fight for one of these opportunities. So. Happy to work with. ”

Bai Xuan's expression showed a smile after Xia Yan signed the cooperation contract.

It's August.

Xia Yan has been coming to the Modu area for more than a month, and he has gradually become accustomed to the climate and culture of this place.

By this time, he had not been active in the entire Dragon Realm for three months.

However, recently, Tang Yin's situation is a little special.

She was busy dealing with her business plan, and sometimes she didn't have time to contact Xia Yan on a phone call for a few days.

Looking at her serious attitude, Xia Yan didn't want to disturb her.

I called once and asked Song Lingyun what place he wanted to apply for.

Song Lingyun replied to him meaningfully, you will know when the time comes.

In a flash, the time came to mid-August

When Xia Yan was preparing to welcome the arrival of his college career, a notice also came from his agent Bai Xuan.

His work "Parasitic Beast" has been selected along with two other works, and a meeting is being held within the Liuli Book Society in the near future to decide which work will be serialized in the journal "Liuli" in three weeks.

In a journal like this, there may not be a vacancy for a serial slot in a month.

So the opportunity is rare, and if you miss it, you don't know how long you have to wait.

But the parasitic beast is different from Xia Yan's previous works, this work is not slow, and the theme is novel.

And with its quality, competing for a serialization spot in a glass-colored journal shouldn't be a big problem.

Thinking of this, the tension in Xia Yan's mind gradually faded.

As for the other side.

An office of Liuli Book Society.

Meng Lin, who had met Xia Yan once, now had some documents and information on her desk.

"Don't sign a contract with me, run to sign a contract with Bai Xuan?" Meng Lin had a hint of dissatisfaction in her expression, and then shook her head.

"Forget it, genius, it's normal to always be arrogant. However, who is not a genius when he is young? ”

"The consequences of not signing a long-term contract will be borne by you just at the serial meeting."
