Chapter 425: Summer Anime Festival
Early the next morning, Chen Shuren was woken up by a knock on the door.
When he opened the door and saw Xie Mi, Chen Shuren was also confused.
In the past, if he hadn't gotten up by himself, if Tang Yingcheng hadn't called, it would have been the first time Xie Mi had called him.
"Brother Shu, it's time to wash up, you have to go to the animation festival early, otherwise it will take a long time to queue up for admission."
Hearing Xie Mi's words, Chen Shuren was stunned.
It turned out to be for the anime festival!
Thinking about how quiet the little girl usually is, and then looking at her excited look now, Chen Shuren sighed that hobbies can really change a person.
"Got it, I'll wash up! You go and call Tom and them! By the way, let Tom call Mr. Kou again and ask him to clean up quickly! ”
Chen Shuren's anxious attitude made the smile on Xie Mi's face even more.
"Good!"
A spark with lightning, and it was not even seven o'clock when the group was cleaned up.
"Where's Mr. Kou?"
Chen Shuren asked Tang Yingcheng.
"It's coming soon, and he's driving a business."
"Oh? That's right, let's go out and wait! ”
After waiting at the door for about five minutes, Kou Zhongguo drove there.
"Yo, you didn't have to wait long, did you?"
Kou Zhongguo saw that the four of them were waiting at the door neatly, and asked with a smile.
"Just came out, who is this?"
Chen Shuren looked at the person driving the car, and then asked Kou Zhongguo.
"This is the driver I called, get in the car."
Sitting in the car, Kou Zhongguo explained to a few people:
"You just arrived in Fuso, and you must not be familiar with the road conditions here, so I called a driver."
"By the way, after that, you can go to collect wind and drive, Fusang is not big, from where you live, you can drive to all places in a maximum of 3 hours, if things are done quickly, maybe you can go home and rest."
Regarding Kou Zhongguo's arrangement, Chen Shuren accepted it with a smile.
Thinking of what the izakaya was thinking about yesterday, Chen Shuren asked directly: "Mr. Kou, what business is the company currently running here?" ”
Suddenly, hearing Chen Shuren ask, Kou Zhongguo was stunned, but then a trace of excitement rose in his heart.
He didn't even believe it, I haven't done anything yet, Chen Shuren is ready to raise my hand?
Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Kou Zhongguo replied: "The music department is the main business of our Tianyu, so there must be one here. ”
"In addition to the music department, there is also a film and television department and an animation department that will be formed soon."
"In fact, the original film and television department took care of some animation things, but the development of the company's side was not good before, whether it was film and television or animation, there was no business, so there was no distinction."
"I just broke it up after I came."
Chen Shuren nodded.
It seems that Kou Zhongguo is indeed a person who wants to do things.
"And what about the direction of the anime department?"
"Directions?"
Kou Zhongguo turned his head from the co-pilot and glanced at Chen Shuren, thought for a moment and said: "I am going to make it into a form similar to the four major comic clubs, and in the future, it will be receiving, operating, and animating into one." ”
Speaking of which, Kou Zhongguo was also interested.
"You may not know that although Fuso has four major animation clubs, it is not that there are no other comic clubs."
Subsequently, Kou Zhongguo told everyone about the current situation of the animation industry in Fusang.
Because the status of the four major comic societies is very high now, many of the similar cartoonists' manuscripts are no longer read.
But it's not that there is no market for the works of those cartoonists, but what can they do if they don't?
Some cartoonists have special feelings for the four major comic clubs, so they will directly abandon the original draft, redraw, and then continue to vote for the big four.
But there are also people who are reluctant to give up their hard work, and at this time they will choose a comic club that is a little second.
Kou Zhongguo's target audience is these, after all, Tianyu is not famous in Fusang, and it is a bit unrealistic to use Tianyu's name to attract some good cartoonists.
What he can do is to take the initiative to find and communicate, and then attract some cartoonists who have no feelings, but have a good level.
After understanding what Kou Zhongguo meant, Chen Shuren nodded secretly.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "Mr. Kou, I have a friend who likes to draw comics, and after the comic club is established, I asked him to submit it to Tianyu to see?" ”
Kou Zhongguo, who was still wondering if Chen Shuren was preparing any movies or music, felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
"What you said, is it the incident that Zeng Juan told me before? Isn't that friend of yours going to vote for the Big Four? ”
Although there is a big gap in his heart, Kou Zhongguo is still silent on the surface.
"Hmm...... He has two comics, one for the Big Four and one for the Heavenly Domain. ”
After Chen Shuren finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed.
In this way, it was as if his 'friend' had given the good ones to the Big Four and the garbage ones to the Heavenly Domain.
Just as he was about to explain, Kou Zhongguo had already agreed.
"No problem, over there, I have people I know, and when your friends want to vote, let me know."
"I'll tell you the truth, after me, the comic club will pull people, that is, through the four people, they will be screened out by the big four, but the strength is not bad."
"But your friend's work, I can have it reviewed by the other side, but I can't influence them."
Hearing this, Chen Shuren nodded and smiled: "This is natural, but you need a threshold to enter, if it doesn't work, then forget it." ”
Seeing Chen Shuren like this, Kou Zhongguo's mind moved.
Since it is a friend who makes Chen Shuren so interested, can he invest in it?
Whether it was from Zeng Juan or Jiang Qinghe, Kou Zhongguo learned that Chen Shuren was a person who would not let his friends suffer.
"Haha, if it doesn't work, then that friend of yours can remember to submit the manuscript to our Tianyu, Tianyu Comics Startup, if the quality is okay, then the follow-up promotion resources will definitely not be too few!"
Chen Shuren was surprised, but still nodded.
But in his heart, he knew that the Big Four should not turn his comics away.
On the Tianyu side, one book is enough to repay the favor.
After chatting all the way, I finally arrived at the scene of the Summer Anime Festival.
As soon as they got out of the car, everyone saw the queue that had been lined up for dozens of meters.
Chen Shuren looked at the estimated ten-minute queue, and couldn't help patting Xie Mi's head.
"You still have experience, otherwise I'm afraid it will take an hour or two to queue up today, so let's get over quickly!"
Xie Mi's mind at this time was all attracted by the animation festival, so she didn't notice Chen Shuren patting her head at all.
On the side, Kou Zhongguo originally wanted to say that he could call someone to lead them in, but when he saw that everyone had already gone to line up, he didn't say anything.
It's a ten-minute queue at most, and there's no rush.
With the passage of time, when Chen Shuren and his party entered the activity area, the number of people queuing behind them had increased several times.
"Tsk, there are so many people!"
Shi Lei exclaimed.
Yangzhou is not without similar festivals, but the kind of festivals are for people of all ages.
Unlike this anime festival, it is basically a crowd of 10~25 years old.
Over 25 years old, very rare.
"Damn, why are you still dressed like this?"
Shi Lei looked left and right, and suddenly a person wearing a monster shell walked past him, startling him.
Tang Yingcheng explained to him with a smile after seeing it.
"These are cosplay people, and they express their love for a character in a certain anime in this way."
"This kind of dress is quite time-consuming, that is, we come early, and when you look at it at noon, two or three people will have a role to play."
Although Tang Yingcheng is not a deep anime fan, he is also a person who has watched a lot of anime.
Coupled with the special understanding of this period of time, it is easy to explain.
After stopping and looking at each booth along the way, everyone felt an eye-opener.
Even if you haven't seen those anime, you can still appreciate the charm of those works in the introduction of the booth.
At this moment, Xie Mi suddenly pulled the hem of Chen Shuren's clothes.
"Brother Shu, I want to go shopping alone."
Chen Shuren lowered his head, looked at Xie Mi with a look of surprise, and then spit out a sentence that made Xie Mi freeze with a flattering smile on his face.
"Nope."
But then, Chen Shuren said with a smile: "You can't do it alone, but I can accompany you, if you think it's okay, we'll go, if it doesn't work, then continue to follow." ”
In this regard, Chen Shuren's position is still very firm.
Xie Mi tugged at the corners of his clothes, always feeling a little embarrassed.
She didn't want people to know that she had comic works to submit, let alone that this person was still her 'student'.
But looking at Chen Shuren's appearance, Xie Mi knew that it was impossible for her to go alone.
After fighting for a while in her heart, she agreed to let Chen Shuren go with her when the attention of others came over.
Seeing this, Chen Shuren said hello to Tang Yingcheng and the others.
Tang Yingcheng was originally interested in the animation festival, while Shi Lei was purely curious, and Kou Zhongguo was more like doing market research.
So the three of them didn't say anything about Chen Shuren's departure.
On Chen Shuren's side, he followed Xie to an exhibition hall with a large number of people.
Looking at the name, Chen Shucai found that this was the location of the Sakura Society, one of the four major comic clubs.
When queuing up to enter, Chen Shuren asked what Xie Mi was going to do.
"You drew your own comics?"
Chen Shuren's face was surprised for a moment, and he was relieved when he thought of Xie Mi's strength.
Since I like anime and have a talent for drawing, it's no surprise that I want to create my own.
"Can I take a look?"
Chen Shuren asked curiously, but what he got was indeed Xie Mi shaking his head again and again while holding his backpack.
Her style made Chen Shuren even more curious.
But no matter how curious he was, he couldn't even snatch the bag and look at it.
The two waited in line for half an hour before entering the exhibition hall.
As soon as he entered, Xie Mi seemed to have found his target, and walked towards that side with Chen Shuren.
When he arrived at the place, Chen Shuren saw seven or eight people queuing, basically all of them teenagers.
This time, the queue was very fast, and in less than a minute, I arrived at Xie Mi.
When Xie Mi took his manuscript out of his bag and handed it to a window, he was notified to come back in an hour and a half.
Facing that cold window, Xie Mi's heart was warm.
"Xie Mi, are we going to wait here now, or are we going to go outside for a walk?"
"Wait here."
Chen Shuren nodded, and then he and Xie Yi followed the flow of people to observe.
It seems that because of a matter of heart, Xie Mi finally had more words.
"Most of the people who delivered their works at the window just now came here to try their luck after being rejected by the Big Four, to see if they could be favored by the supervisor, there should be quite few people like me who are from other states."
Only then did Chen Shuren realize.
"So you agreed to come and teach me how to draw, just to come here and contribute?"
Xie Mi's face turned a little red, and he hurriedly explained:
"Well, but I also teach you to draw seriously, and if you don't come, I will teach you too!"
Seeing Xie Mi's anxious appearance, Chen Shuren touched her head again.
"I know, Mr. Xie."
But this time, Xie Mi reacted, her face turned red, and she shook her head in annoyance to get rid of Chen Shuren's claws.
"Don't...... Don't touch my head! ”
Seeing Xie Mi's fierce reaction, Chen Shuren scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I always treat you as my sister, and I will never touch you later!"
Seeing that Chen Shuren's apology was very sincere, Xie Mi didn't say anything more, and after so many days of getting along, Chen Shuren's impression in her heart was still very good.
Otherwise, if someone she doesn't know very well touches her head, she will definitely let the other party taste the power of women's self-defense!
After the two of them finished browsing the exhibition hall, they found an empty seat and sat down.
Not long after he sat down, a small table was vacated next to him.
In the crowd on the side, when they saw the vacant seats, three young people ran in.
As soon as they sat down, they started chatting.
Chen Shuren didn't want to listen, but he couldn't bear the distance between the two seats.
"Brother Li, are you sure our manuscript can pass?"
A girl who was three or four years older than Xie Mi asked a boy about eighteen years old, and the expectation on her face was something that everyone could see.
When the boy heard this, he first glanced at Chen Shuren and the others, and then said confidently:
"Don't worry, I asked my uncle to say hello, as long as your name is not written wrong, there will naturally be one of you among the three receiving places in this exhibition!"
"That's great, you've read my comics too, the quality must be there, but those ordinary editors can't see it!"
"Well, Xiao Lin, don't worry, I'll ask my uncle later, see if he can ask his friend to arrange a good exposure position for you, after all, the exposure space of newcomers is very small and hidden."
The boy's words made the girl's eyes light up, and the whole person pasted it.
"Really? Brother Xiao Li, you are amazing! ”
"Small."
At this time, another girl who seemed to be Xiao Lin's friend spoke up.
"Doesn't it mean that the editors of the Big Four are very strict? How can you still sway and submit? ”
When the boy heard this, he smiled disdainfully.
"That's an ordinary person, my uncle's relationship is naturally not ordinary!"
But the girl didn't seem to be interested in this Xiao Li, and continued to pick and choose: "If there are three places, the people who come here to contribute should have a good chance?" ”
When Xiao Li heard the girl's words, his tone was heavy and mocking.
"Pretty big? Hehe, you're still young, except for Xiao Lin's place, do you guess there is anyone who has a relationship like me? ”
Xiao Lin was surprised when she heard this: "Brother Xiao Li, do you mean that these three places are all fixed?" ”
"Naturally!"
Hearing this, Xiao Lin was even more grateful, and Xiao Lin's friend had nothing to say.
On the side, after Chen Shuren listened to the conversation next to him in silence, he sighed that the ubiquitous back door was really powerful!
At this time, Xie Mi, who was sitting opposite him, lowered his head.
