Rebirth of the Father of Anime

Jerry Joestar and Tom Lee returned to the hotel where they were resting with great thoughts. This was their first time participating in a fan exhibition as fan authors. It was very novel and exciting.

Because in their country, in order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the original author, no matter how much they like it, they cannot create fanfics for their favorite works, otherwise they will be sued in court for infringement.

But here in China it is possible. And through communication with other people and authors, they have seen more fantastic ideas and broader thinking. Such an open country made the two of them change their previous views of China as "conservative and old-fashioned" based on the news they saw on TV.

"After all, this is a country where people can create comics. How can it be so old-fashioned as the government propaganda says, like uncivilized ancients?"

After the two of them put the fanfics and peripherals they bought back in the room, they rested for a while and went to the hotel restaurant for dinner.

The restaurant has an elegant environment. Due to the animation festival, most of the people here come to participate in the animation festival. Therefore, during the period just after the animation festival, people like them who had just returned basically came to eat.

From time to time, I bump into acquaintances I met at fan exhibitions and nod and say hello to each other.

If they had arrived a little later, they might not even have a seat.

Since they came to China, they naturally ate standard Chinese delicacies and ordered some red wine.

If this weird combination were placed in front of two Chinese people, I'm afraid there would be "rich people" who couldn't afford to eat because the place was full and they would come and laugh at these rubes who have no taste, no quality, and are country bumpkins.

But the two of them were having a great time eating and drinking as if nothing had happened. In fact, the two of them had tasted liquor before. I just couldn't stand the spicy taste. So I can only use red wine to appetize.

Even though the wine was here they drank it. The taste is just as bad... If they were given a chance to do it again, the two of them might replace the red wine with beer or plain water.

"That's right. The government's brainwashing is so terrifying. It has caused us to form inertial thinking. After all, it is a country as powerful as ours. Sure enough, only by seeing the world can we have a correct and complete world view... These dishes , and it’s a good read. It’s delicious, and there are so many comics to read. It’s really a blessing to be born in China.”

The two of them ordered a table of dishes, and they didn't care whether they could finish it or not, since they were not short of money anyway.

Tom sighed at the food cut out by the chef's fine knife skills, and then ate it in one bite, letting out a groan of pleasure.

Jerry agreed with Tom's words, and then continued: "I'm so lucky. I thought I couldn't sell it, but I didn't expect that we printed 3,000 copies of the fanfic. It was sold in one morning, hehe. It also became a success for us. Cheers to authors who have published physical books as separate volumes!”

After hearing this, the two toasted happily, drinking the red wine to taste like beer.

Jerry was a light drinker, so he finished the drink in one gulp, put down the glass, quickly inserted a few pieces of meat into his mouth with a fork, chewed a few mouthfuls, and after swallowing, he frowned and said, "This red wine is terrible to drink, and it has a lot of stamina..." ..." As he spoke, a hint of alcohol appeared on Xiaobai's face.

"This shows that our idea is indeed feasible. Didn't you see that all the masters praised our work? After we go back, we can start trying. Maybe it won't be long before we can publish a single book, increase the royalties, and become famous with one book. Become a famous cartoonist and reach the pinnacle of life."

Tom poured himself a drink and talked as he ate.

Mentioning "Master", Jerry suddenly thought of the invitation, so he asked Tom: "What do you think of the Master's invitation?"

"The master's invitation...what do you think?" Tom asked Jerry what he thought.

Jerry replied: "This is the recognition of us by the great god, and being able to learn from the master is something that many people only dream of. We are not worthy of being deceived. I don't think the master can offer us such generous terms." I feel there is a reason to refuse.”

Tom nodded while listening, remained silent for a moment, and said: "However, our contract with Jingman has not expired yet..."

"Didn't the master say it? He will support us with liquidated damages." Jerry directly interjected.

Tom said: "But this will bring trouble to the master."

"It's okay if you have trouble, just create better comics for the master! The master is willing to give us such generous conditions, which shows that we have the value of this - although I haven't discovered it myself. So, as long as we work hard to create better comics for the master Wouldn’t it be nice if it matches the value of the price paid by the master?”

Jerry's idea is very simple, that is, to draw better-looking comics.

Following He Chen will definitely improve them more than staying in Jingman.

"Moreover, it is because of Jingman that we have the opportunity to show our comics to readers. It feels inappropriate to leave so hastily." Tom looked forward and backward. On the one hand, he could not let go of Jingman's kindness to them, but on the other hand, he They were afraid that leaving Jingman rashly and joining Tianman would lead to disagreement between Tianman and Jingman, which would affect their status in the hearts of Tianman and He Chen.

This kind of personality doesn't seem to match his coquettish dress and flamboyant style of painting at all.

"I remember there is a saying in China. It seems to say that after passing this small village, there will be no such store... I feel that this is almost the meaning. Master's invitation today may be just a whim. If you miss it, maybe we will There is no chance to learn from the master anymore, I want to go to Tianman."

Jerry once again stressed to Tom and made his position clear to him.

Their reply to He Chen at that time was "think about it", and He Chen agreed to them. However, both of them understood that although they didn't say it explicitly, the time for "thinking" was only these two days - no matter how much they flirted, they didn't think He Chen could wait for them forever.

By the time the "Anime Festival" was over, the two of them had yet to reply. He Chen's interest in the two of them at the "Animation Festival" might gradually fade away. After all, the atmosphere and occasion sometimes give huge bonuses.

And once He Chen's interest cools down, the two of them may never wait for such an opportunity again.

That's why Jerry took a stand.

Even if God gives you a seed that can grow gold, if you don't even bother to plant it, you will still have nothing.

What you seize is an opportunity; what you cannot seize is a daydream.

Tom also knew what Jerry said, and he even thought about it more, but sometimes it was just thinking too much that made him hesitate.

I don’t know if this is what makes him perform better in the fandom than in the original work. After all, the fandom has a complete world view, and there is no need for him to consider whether it is reasonable or not. Anyway, as long as it conforms to this worldview, whatever feels good will come true, and then there will be the fanfic version that He Chen saw.

Tom thought about it for a long time, from eating to returning to the hotel. Even when he was reading the fanfic, he was still thinking about it.

In addition to those reasons, there is still a little fantasy in his heart that he has not expressed. This is perhaps the fantasy that all cartoonists have had - to surpass the porter.

If one day, under his "leadership", Jingman can surpass Tianman, how exciting would that be?

However, the porter's thinking is as unconstrained as an antelope's horns. From children to connotations, from romance to passion, he knows everything and is master of everything.

Just looking at all the works together will make you feel ashamed.

Talk about transcendence? Easier said than done.

Therefore, this is just his fantasy. Well, he often thinks like this when he dreams. Tom believes that a person who dares not even dream such a dream has lost his creativity in comic stories.

However, if you can learn from the master, you may be able to observe up close how those wonderful worlds are born under the master's pen!

"We are partners, advancing and retreating together. Since we have decided to go, of course we will go together..."

At night, before he fell asleep, Tom suddenly said this to Jerry.

…

On the second day of the "Holy War", everything went according to plan and went very smoothly.

Tom and Jerry both gave He Chen a positive reply, which made He Chen relieved with relief.

He is also preparing that if these two people don't reply to him today, he will release a Superman short story tomorrow morning, Batman the day after tomorrow, Spider-Man the day after tomorrow, X-Men the day after tomorrow... In short, he will catch all Marvel and Marvel in one fell swoop. , if anyone else just wants to come up with a superhero, Tianman must use a prototype with the same ability, instilling a concept in the hearts of all readers: as long as someone else comes up with a superhero, they must have plagiarized Tianman!

Since these two people are willing to join Tianman, He Chen's plan can be postponed a little, leaving him enough time to prepare for this matter. It just so happens that the two of them also need time to deal with the contract with the current Jingman company. , as well as their family problems - the painting skills of these two people need in-depth training. He Chen requires that they must live in Yanjing like his other assistants so that they can receive guidance easily.

This was also what they wanted, and the two of them readily agreed.

During the Yaoyaomeng game trial event at the Tianman booth, some players knew that they were obviously weak, so they stopped participating. Therefore, the level of the team today is generally much higher than yesterday.

However, even so, the battle is extremely difficult. Yuyuko, Yakumo Ai, and Yakumo Purple are still obstacles on the way to He Chen's hand-painted book.

After all, not everyone is like Ling Yan's humanoid plug-in.

After countless teams fighting with all their strength, things were finally much better than yesterday. A total of 3 teams passed the level. He Chen sent out 12 oriental hand-painted books - "History of Oriental Quest for Information"!

All of them are collections of oriental settings drawn and written by He Chen himself. It was quite time consuming. He Chen had drawn a total of 20 books for this purpose as preparation for the reward. Fortunately, it was enough and He Chen did not need to draw additional drawings.

The fanfics at the Tianman booth also had new fanfics that were different from yesterday. (To be continued...) ()
