Big Manga

Eating, drinking, and wandering around, one morning passed. watermark ad test watermark ad test

At noon, Qin Ya and two companions came to a chain restaurant in Sogo Department Store with a few shopping bags, and joined other people from Zhongxia Company.

"Why did you buy so many things?" Wang Zhe asked in surprise.

"I bought it without knowing it. There are many beautiful clothes and dolls here."

A female cartoonist replied, and Qin Ya looked at the male cartoonists sitting aside and smiled: "Editor-in-chief, you also bought a lot of things."

Several male cartoonists centered on Li Xin are gathering at a table, happily building a Gundam, and there are still many Gundam models on the table that have not been opened, plus some packages on the ground , men buy no less than women.

"Is this Gundam expensive? I remember a set costing several hundred!"

Qin Ya walked over and said that she had also been to several model shops that sold Gundam in the morning. The price of this model was comparable to that of clothes, and she felt that it was really not worth it.

"This kind of model is very interesting, and you can assemble it yourself." However, the man's idea is different from that of the girl. Li Xin replied with a smile: "And it can be collected after it is assembled, which is very meaningful."

"I'm just about to open a Gundam manga, and this kind of model just makes me familiar." Another manga artist also looked happy: "Mr. , if I can figure out the structure of the model, then the Gundam in my manga can be drawn even more cleverly!"

Since Phoenix Company released the authorization of Gundam comics a year ago, and then launched "Gundam Seed", Gundam-themed comics and animations in the entire Chinese world have become more and more popular. But at the same time as it is hot, the difficulty of this subject is getting higher and higher. "Gundam Seed" has raised the readers' horizons, so that its Gundam structure has become the object that cartoonists are eager to learn.

He Xi has unconsciously created a culture in the comics world. Including Zhongxia Company, and even in some cartoonist education colleges that have not been established for a few years, Gundam has become an important research object for young manga artists, and each Gundam in "Gundam Seed" has its own dedicated fans.

"You men just love to play!"

Qin Ya has no interest in Gundam. After looking at it for a while, I sat down with my companions in the seats of the female cartoonists. The female cartoonists were having a great time playing poker with a deck of "Pokemon". Wang Zhe came over and asked, "There is a signing event for some cartoonists from Phoenix Company in the afternoon. Which one of you will go?" Look?"

"I,

I want to see. ","Me too! "

Several girl cartoonists raised their hands, but Qin Ya shook her head: "I won't go, I'm exhausted after walking all morning. I want to rest in the afternoon and come out to take a look at it in the evening."

Wang Zhe nodded. This signing will be a good opportunity for cartoonists who have never held a signing meeting themselves, but it will not be very attractive to those who have experience. Especially for a popular cartoonist like Qin Ya, she has held various events when she was writing novels, except for the signing event of a super popular cartoonist like He Xi, Qin Ya probably doesn't like it.

"Qin Ya, since you're not going...can you give me your DSLR?" Wang Zhe asked with some itch. He was eager to try this high-end camera.

"Okay." Qin Ya handed the camera to Wang Zhe without hesitation, and Wang Zhe carefully took it away.

After lunch, the people of Zhongxia Company were divided into three groups, and some cartoonists moved freely. Some cartoonists went to the signing, and some went back to the hotel to play cards and rest.

The signing event was held in a large indoor plaza. Before the official start, there were already many people standing outside. You could see waiting readers chatting and spanking everywhere. After the event officially started at 2:30 in the afternoon, There were long queues at the three signing channels that were open in the square.

"There are too many people, how can there be so many people!"

A cartoonist asked in surprise, each team has nearly a thousand people queuing up, and the number is still increasing. When did the ordinary cartoonists of Phoenix Company have such a big appeal? If you can believe it in Ninghai and other places where comic fans gather, but there are so many readers in the comic island, which is very unusual.

"These are not necessarily true loyal readers." Wang Zhe replied lightly: "It's hard to come to Manga Island once, as long as you are an individual, you will want the autograph of the manga artist."

This is not a strange phenomenon. Tourists may come for other reasons such as He Xi and Carnival, but as long as they come, and there is a signing event next to them, it will naturally make them want to get autographs. This is the same as star chasing, there is a star in front of you, whether you like it or not, first get the autograph and then talk.

"Well, this is a good way."

Wang Zhe thought about it, and suddenly felt that this was a very powerful method.

He Xi attracts the readers and indirectly creates this kind of lively signing event, which can greatly improve the confidence of the authors participating in the signing event, and also inspire other cartoonists of Phoenix Company. What's even better is that it can create a false impression for the media, allowing reporters to greatly overestimate the strength of the Phoenix company's cartoonists when they report the scene of the signing event.

"Good way, really good way!"

Wang Zhe felt that this model could be used for reference. He took a few photos before leading people in.

The square is also very lively. Three cartoonists sit in different positions. There are security guards and female employees guiding the order of the readers. Each reader has more than ten seconds to contact the cartoonists. There was a booth selling the comics of this cartoonist, and the whole square was noisy, but orderly.

"It really is him..."

As soon as Wang Zhe entered the square, his eyes were fixed on a cartoonist who was signing a sale, his face was livid.

"Who is that?" A new girl cartoonist asked strangely.

"You don't know?" Someone immediately replied: "That's the teacher. He used to be a cartoonist in our company, but now he has joined Phoenix Company!"

"Isn't that a traitor, such a shameless person, how can he laugh so happily after doing such a thing!?"

"That's right, this guy is super thick-skinned. At the beginning, he and Teacher He Xi were mortal enemies, but he ran over to kneel and lick him later. Don't look at his proud face now, when he was defeated by Teacher He Xi, he was dying. And I really don't know what he is proud of. Didn't he rely on Teacher He Xi for his current achievements!"

"That's right. If there is no regret, how could this guy sit here and hold a signing event!"

A group of cartoonists envy and hate. Especially the old cartoonists from Longteng comics are particularly unbalanced at the moment. After being defeated by He Xi back then, his status in Zhongxia Company was very low. Many people called him a disgrace to the cartoonist, and other cartoonists disdain to associate with him. Now they are actually sitting at the Phoenix booth to hold a signing event!

The changes in the world are too crazy!

The cartoonists were jealous, but Wang Zhe, the editor-in-chief of the comics, was angry in his heart. It was the cartoonist he had trained for several years, especially during the period of Longteng comics, this cartoonist received all kinds of care from him. Seeing that he was sitting in the opponent's seat now, Wang Zhe always felt that he had helped others to cultivate talents for nothing, and he had the urge to vomit blood.

But after thinking about it for a while. He held back his anger again.

After all, who can blame this? When he left that year, he was already Zhongxia's abandoned son, and he transferred to Phoenix Company after leaving Zhongxia normally, there was no problem in the procedure. to blame. It is to blame that Zhongxia did not think of this result at the beginning, and Wang Zhe has been unable to figure out why he showed his favor to He Xi in the past two years.

"Did I not notice his change at the beginning?"

Wang Zhe thought with some regret that after his reputation was lost in the confrontation with He Xi, he had never cared about this cartoonist, and even when he left, he still thought that he would die of old age in his hometown. It was the change he hadn't noticed that made him go. He is a very talented cartoonist himself, if he knew that his temperament had changed, maybe Wang Zhe would have been able to keep him in the first place.

"pity……"

Although it is a pity, the status quo cannot be changed.

"Editor-in-chief, look quickly, isn't that Xifeng!" Suddenly, a cartoonist exclaimed beside Wang Zhe: "Didn't that guy Xifeng go to free activities? Why is he in the signing team!"

Wang Zhe was taken aback, and looked up. Sure enough, in front of the signing party line, the cartoonist Xifeng from Zhongxia Company was standing in line with a comic book.

"Why is he there!", "Is he a traitor too?"

Some cartoonists seemed very angry, and Xifeng was not well received in Zhongxia Company. Could it be that this guy wanted to rebel? Wang Zhe thought it was impossible. Ever since he defected to Phoenix, he has been paying attention to the state of other cartoonists. Although Xifeng is half dead, he is not the kind of person who dares to rebel.

"Don't worry about him." Wang Zhe said: "He was friends with him before, and he probably just wanted to see him."

He guessed right, at the autograph event, he had just sent away a female fan who said she would always support him, and when he turned around with a smile, he saw Xifeng walking over.

"You..." The smile stopped, and he said with some embarrassment, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to get your autograph." Xifeng put the manga on the table in front of him, and said with a smile, "I've read all your new manga, congratulations on your new life."

"Xifeng..." looked at Xifeng in surprise, "You have changed."

It's a miracle that this cartoonist can say congratulations to him.

"I haven't changed, I'm still the same, muddleheaded, debauched..." Xifeng shook his head, "I'm also jealous of you now,... but you are my benefactor, no matter how shameless I am, I can't forget the way you treated me back then." My help."

Back then, Xifeng was almost fired by Zhongxia's company, but thanks to helping him regardless of past suspicions, and taking him to find He Xi himself, Xifeng was lucky enough to keep his job, for which he was very grateful. He is a man, with such loyalty, Xifeng can betray him once, but he will never betray him a second time.

"You are much more honest than before..." With a sigh, he took a pen and signed the manga: "How is your recent work?"

"It's still the same, Zhongxia Company has enough magazines, and I can also receive opportunities to adapt works." Xifeng replied with a smile: "Although the popularity is not tepid, but thanks to Mr. He Xi who has made the comic market bigger, the current comics The income of the family is not bad, I can just eat and drink for the rest of my life... I heard that you are married?"

"En." Nodding.

"How is the wife?"

West Wind asked again.

"She is very domineering, sometimes she always forces me to do this and that, it's very unbearable..." After signing the name, she raised her head and said with a smile: "But no matter what, she really loves me, I feel very happy... Here, Zephyr, your comics."

He handed the manga back to Xifeng. There was a very short time for each reader to sign the sale. A security guard began to urge him before he left.

", I wish you to become a more popular cartoonist in the future." Xifeng sent his blessing and nodded: "Thank you."

The two separated after saying this. Xifeng took the comic and walked to the gate. He glanced back at the place. The friend who used to play together got this achievement today, and Xifeng was very happy.

He opened the comics—"May you become a more popular cartoonist, my brother."—

"What a coincidence..."

Xifeng smiled, he really was a buddy, and the blessings he sent out were actually the same.
