Big Manga

Late at night, Meng Huo's new home is still lit.

Shen Jie took a shower from the bathroom, wiped her hair with a towel, then sat on the sofa in the living room and took out her mobile phone to surf the Internet.

She logged into her chat software, and several windows popped up.

"Sister Jie, did you watch today's "Pokemon", it's really great! But those women with excessive hormone secretion actually went to the square for a gathering. The people we followed secretly got a cold sweat. , It's so risky that nothing major happened."

"Big sister, I heard that Teacher He Xi has released a new animation. I didn't see it after working overtime today. They all said it was very beautiful. Can you help me find a recorded video? The other sisters must be hiding it. Go and help. Let me tell you, I know that this kind of behavior is wrong-but that stupid TV station didn't rebroadcast it at all!"

"Jie'er, Mikoto and the others have played the square occupation movement vividly, and tomorrow's newspapers will definitely report it! We will have an event anytime, if they continue to increase in number, we will lose!"

Seeing several messages, Shen Jie wiped her hair with one hand and typed a reply quickly with the other. She doesn't mind how others play, as long as no one approaches Meng Huo, Shen Jie doesn't want to bother.

However, she encouraged her sisters in a different way, and then closed the chat software and opened the space to watch.

Shen Jie’s personal space is very clean. There are no messages or photos. The account name is ‘Passerby in a small place’. She doesn’t play very much on the space. The account is applied for the convenience of viewing other people’s spaces.

This time she entered He Shi's space. Meng Huo did not post the photos on the space, but this space is still a popular space on the Internet, and many people leave messages every day.

Due to the broadcast of "Pokemon", many people left messages tonight.

"Teacher He Xi, this is the 999th flower I dedicated to you."

"Fuck, where did Ah Feng offend you? What a pity you always steal his headlines!"

"Teacher He Xi, I drew a portrait for you. See if I have the talent to be a cartoonist!"

"Live naked *chat video*, please add Penguin 8*675..."

Except for most of the comments that are nonsense, there are still some comments that are very serious.

"Teacher He, I like "Pokemon". The pictures and songs give people a fresh feeling, and the story is very interesting, not at all boring, I hope you can continue to paint it well."

Many people responded to this message, and most of them expressed their praise for the animation, which made Shen Jie very happy to see it.

She went to He Xi's space just to see how others praise Meng Huo.

At this time, Meng Huo didn't sleep either. Alice decided to stay at night. Meng Huo discussed new themes and new comics with her in a study room twice the size of the past.

"The idea of ​​Touhou Gensokyo is very good...but the possibility is too low." Alice said, "This theme requires a lot of people to create it together in order to become active. We have a limited number of manga artists, and even if everyone goes there Painting, that can't draw features."

There are too many characters in "Oriental Gensokyo". There is no barrage game in this world to attract popularity, and fan creation is not developed. Alice is not optimistic about its operability at all.

"Relatively speaking, I think it is a great idea to open the copyright of "Pokemon" comics!" She is satisfied with another idea of ​​Meng Huo: "Now that anime is broadcast, the release of similar comics must be very popular!"

"But are you really willing to let go of the copyright?"

Alice asked cautiously, this is a very important question. If Meng Huo releases the copyright and other authors can freely use the elves for secondary creation, then the cartoonists of Phoenix Company will be very happy.

"Well, no problem."

Meng Huo nodded. He doesn't care about the copyright of comics. The most profitable part of "Pokemon" is games and peripheral products. Comics can't even compare the income of animation, so he doesn't care about it at all.

But letting go of the copyright is only to give the copyright to the Phoenix Company. The company's cartoonists can use it at will, but cartoonists in other places can't do it.

"Okay. I have figured out the details of these two topics." After the discussion, Alice took out the file bag and put away the settings and materials prepared by Meng Huo, and smiled: "I will take it back to my dad first. Look, what I just said is just my thoughts. If he has any opinions, he has to call you over."

"no problem."

Meng Huo had originally planned to discuss with Xu Jing, and it was OK for Alice to notify him, so he took out a draft and gave it to Alice.

"This is my new comic."

"I'll put it away first." Alice glanced briefly, and then put it away: "It's too late tonight. I'll take it home tomorrow and take a closer look. I'll give you advice when I have time."

She has become more and more proficient in comic editing, and has been able to give Meng Huo some unique suggestions.

"Also, the new comic...Are you going to hire an assistant?"

Alice asked. She wanted to talk and stopped, which aroused Meng Huo's curiosity. He said: "Other editors told me about assistants. I should ask. Is there any problem with this?"

"Um..." Alice thought for a while, and still said: "I investigated the Zhongxia comics before the New Year, and found that you don't need to hire an assistant for the time being."

"What does it mean?"

Meng Huo found it strange that Alice was still encouraging him to hire an assistant last year. Why did it change this year? What would make her attitude change so much.

"Have you heard of a tablet?"

Alice asked.

Meng Huo was taken aback for a moment. Of course he knew the pen tablet. Some cartoonists in his previous life would use this to draw pictures. This is a tool for computer graphics. Did Alice suggest that he use a computer to make comics?

However, Meng Huo has investigated. The world is technologically advanced, but the comics industry has developed within a short period of time. He did not find tools specifically for drawing cartoons.

"The cartoonists of Zhongxia Company are using digital tablets and computers. Their computers have special comic processing software, which can quickly handle post-production work."

Alice explained to Meng Huo that the hardware equipment for computer graphics was completed a long time ago, but these equipment began to serve advertising design, game design, etc., and the software does not support comics.

After the establishment of Zhongxia Comics, designers gradually enhanced the comic software support for computers and tablets, and now some professional computer drawing tools have appeared.

The so-called computer drawing does not mean that cartoons can be drawn with a mouse. It actually means that cartoonists can draw directly on the tablet and other input devices without relying on paper. The drawn image enters the computer and then on the computer. to modify.

This also means that computer graphics are still based on the drawing skills of cartoonists.

But the advantage of computer drawing is that it is easier to modify. The cartoonist draws comics on paper, and if a drop of ink makes a mistake or shakes his hand, the whole drawing will be finished. If the drawing is wrong on the computer, it can be revised repeatedly.

The most important thing is that the post process of computer drawing is very convenient, just like the two assistants Meng Huo invited: Hua Meng and Teacher Tomato's main work is to perform post-processing on the first draft, and the processing is very easy to complete on the computer.

"Then I won't hire an assistant, you can buy some equipment for me!"

It is difficult for traditional cartoonists to accept new things, but Meng Huo does not have this pressure. He pursues high efficiency. And he doesn't need to use a computer to draw, so he is very fast, so he can just draw the first draft on paper.

The first draft is input into the computer with a scanner, and then the assistants use the computer to paste the dots and post-processing. The work efficiency will be greatly increased, and the existing assistants will be sufficient.

As for the assistant positions that other original cartoonists hope-Meng Huo feels that the cartoonist's problem should not be solved by being his assistant, but to choose other routes, such as the new theme given to Alice.

Deciding to buy computer graphics equipment, Alice took the notes and left. She went to take a bath. Meng Huo stretched her waist and found that the living room was still lit, so she walked over.

In the living room, I saw Shen Jie lying on the sofa and fell asleep.

"How to sleep here..." Meng Huo walked over and shook her shoulder: "Shen Jie, wake up, you will catch a cold when you sleep here!"

Shen Jie's sleep was not very deep, and she was woken up soon. She struggled, wandering for a moment, and then aimed at Meng Huo.

"Meng Huo..."

"Ok?"

"You woke up my dream!"

"Um..." Meng Huo was a little surprised, then smiled bitterly: "What dream?"

Shen Jie patted her cheek, much more conscious.

"A dream of the end of the world." She pouted, and said, "I dreamed of a huge meteor hitting the earth. Nothing could stop it. People all over the world were in panic and running around."

"This seems to have been seen in that movie." Meng Huo thought for a while. It was something in his previous life: "Then...you ran away?"

"I was at school, so I ran out when I heard the news. There were people everywhere in Ninghai, and there was chaos in the streets. There were all kinds of crimes. I would look for you everywhere..."

Shen Jie was silent for a moment, not wanting to say too white, and continued: "Are you my fellow in Ninghai? I kept yelling and running, but couldn't find you. Then the sky turned black and the meteors fell... "

"Then the world is destroyed?... This is really a tragedy!" Meng Huo laughed: "You have to thank me~www.NovelMTL.com~ I saved you from the nightmare."

Nightmare...

Shen Jie looked at Meng Huo and smiled slightly: "Yes, I have to thank you."

She wanted to thank Meng Huo for not waking her up in advance. At the end of that dream, Shen Jie still found Meng Huo. He sat on the beach and drew cartoons.

Shen Jie ran over, ran to him, and when he met him, the meteor fell...

Although both of them were dead, Shen Jie's heart was filled with warmth. She found Meng Huo, and found Meng Huo among countless people. That was enough!

Shen Jie felt that it didn't matter if he was with him, even if he died.

If two people can die together, how lucky it is.

If they can still get married, grow old together, die hand in hand, and sleep in the same grave, that would be the happiest thing for Shen Jie.
