The Utopia of the Wastewood Prince

Chapter 78

78

This week passed quickly. When Tong Yu got off work on Friday, he simply packed up his things and carried a bag and went home. Li Jiaoyang was a little bit reluctant to tell him that he should remember to contact them more often.Tong Yu thought he was long-winded, so she frowned and said she knew.Zhang Chunqiang joked that Li Jiaoyang was like an old mother who was abandoned by a child who was about to leave home.

But the scene is indeed very similar.

After Tong Yu left, it was actually Zhang Chunqiang who should have had the most headaches. Without a helper, she needed to do all the trivial daily tasks in the cute circle.It just so happens that there has been a lot of work recently. They have introduced a lot of licensed illustrations of domestic comics, and there are also some fan creation activities. The summer holidays in the community are in full swing. She is busy with all the application, recommendation, and event awards. up.

"Hey! Li Siyang!" Zhang Chunqiang crawled out of the work pile in a state of anxiety, and looked at Li Jiaoyang, who was also in the ppt crematorium, "Recently some users have been asking which work the instant noodle head in our gallery is from." .”

"Ah? What instant noodles?" Li Jiaoyang asked.

Zhang Chunqiang casually clicked a picture and gave it to Li Jiaoyang: "That's it."

"This one, it's called "Friday", it was packaged from the platform." Li Jiaoyang said, "Oh, it's painted by Jing Yun in the basement."

"I didn't see it, the drawing is quite funny." Zhang Chunqiang touched his chin and said, "It's interesting, you said it was packed?"

Li Jiaoyang had already walked behind Zhang Chunqiang, and said, "Of course, I've read this comic. It's actually quite funny, but I don't know why the data is so bad. Then I talked to their platform about the licensing fee for three copies." , and then asked them to pack and give me something else, one of which was this. I guess it might be too vague, and they think it’s not a loss for them. I think it’s nothing.”

Zhang Chunqiang had already opened the comic's website and read it carefully. She only read two or three episodes, and said to Li Jiaoyang: "I found that our users really like this. This is the first time in a row that people have asked about it." What kind of manga is this? And I also asked if I have any other pictures, and I can draw these pictures by heart all day long. I think, why don’t you come over and play with them?”

"What are you doing?" Li Jiaoyang couldn't guess the exact meaning from Zhang Chunqiang's weird smile.

"We can ask for some pictures, and then have an interview with the author." Zhang Chunqiang said, "Our users like to draw, so they prefer to listen to the experiences of those who have experienced it. They think they can learn something from it. Although I don't think it's useful."

"That's right." Li Jiaoyang said, "I'll go and talk to Jing Yun." He turned around and was about to go downstairs, and ran back after walking two steps. Zhang Chunqiang asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I don't think it's okay for me to ask, why don't you go? It might be easier to talk to girls." Li Jiaoyang recalled that he didn't leave when he met Jing Yun when he was working overtime at night, and wanted to invite her out for takeaway None of them worked.

Zhang Chunqiang also guessed one or two: "Okay, then I will finish the work at hand before I get off work."

Li Jiaoyang said: "Why don't you ask her if she wants to have dinner together at night, I'll wait for you here, let's chat while eating?"

"Okay." Zhang Chunqiang nodded.

"Little bird, are you coming?" Li Jiaoyang couldn't forget about Shen Yi now, he almost had to hold hands with Shen Yi when he went to the bathroom.

"I don't care." Shen Yi replied lightly.

After finally surviving until the eve of getting off work, Zhang Chunqiang stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly drank a couple of sips of water, and said to Li Jiaoyang and Shen Yi, "I'm going down."

"Go! Strong man!" Li Jiaoyang said.

Zhang Chunqiang couldn't say a word, went downstairs and knocked on the door, and entered the basement after getting permission, about 10 minutes later, Zhang Chunqiang came back up, made an OK gesture, Li Jiaoyang gave a thumbs up, and said: "My brother Qiang is awesome, What time is it?"

"Let's wait for Jing Yun to pack her things." Zhang Chunqiang said, "I think she is quite active."

"Can you not be positive? Little Transparency doesn't have much opportunity to be exposed, this time it's an interview with the author." Shen Yi said.

Li Jiaoyang said: "No way, we are not a big platform, so she can be active in such a pheasant interview?"

Shen Yi said: "You don't understand. Your kind of pheasant interview may not be a bird for a big writer, but it is really rare for a small writer like this. If she doesn't live in your basement, you can Know who she is? To be precise, who knows who she is. Only those who are favored can be confident, understand?"

"Hey, it's quite sad." Li Jiaoyang curled his lips.

Jing Yun came up. She was wearing a white dress today. When she came to the first floor, she saw that everyone was there. She habitually looked down at the floor and whispered to Zhang Chunqiang, "Sister, I'm fine. I'm sorry for the delay. time."

"It's okay, which girl doesn't pack up when she goes out?" Zhang Chunqiang smiled, "Then let's go? Li Siyang drove."

"Come on!" Li Chefu hurriedly took out the car keys to open the way. He passed by Jing Yun and said, "You don't need to call her sister, but brother Qiang, do you understand?"

Shen Yi quickly tugged at Li Jiaoyang: "You're the only one who talks nonsense."

Li Jiaoyang shut up.

"Don't talk to these two dead gays." Zhang Chunqiang said, holding Jing Yun's arm, "Let's go!"

It's not yet dark in summer, and rows of stalls have already been set up on the side of the street. If it's just the three of them, Li Jiaoyang must be this one.If there is another Jingyun, it is definitely not a big food stall for the first time to eat, but Li Jiaoyang stepped on the accelerator and stepped on Liangma Bridge, looking for a small fresh Japanese food.Seeing that Jing Yun was quite useful, he knew that he had chosen the right place at the moment.

"Are you busy recently?" After ordering, Zhang Chunqiang said this naturally, avoiding a cold scene with no topic.

"It's okay." Jing Yun lowered her head and said, "It's just rushing the manuscript day after day, and I just handed in the update today, so I have some time."

Zhang Chunqiang said: "I've been reading your comics recently, it's really interesting."

"Really?" Jing Yun didn't appear very excited or very excited. On the contrary, her unnatural emotions became more obvious, she was a little evasive, and she didn't know if she was admitting her life. She felt embarrassed and ashamed after being praised by others.

"Yes, yes." Li Jiaoyang took over the topic, "I was given to Brother Qiang by Amway, can my vision be wrong?"

Jing Yun said politely, "Thank you so much."

Shen Yi has observed all these details, and he asked: "I don't know if accepting our interview will take up too much of your time, after all, in addition to answering some questions, we also hope that you can do a relatively simple painting tutorial This is what our users are most concerned about, and they hope to gain some painting experience from Da Da.”

"What's wrong with me?" Jing Yun quickly waved her hand, "I, I'm just a little transparent, and I'm not very good at painting. If you like my work and are willing to interview me, I'm really grateful to you all."

Shen Yi and Zhang Chunqiang looked at each other, and immediately understood what was going on.

A typical self-deprecating personality, which belongs to the relatively common category among creators.This kind of people don't know what's going on, they obviously have certain strength, but it seems that the "red" physique is not destined for them.Under the ravages of reality, people are prone to self-doubt.This is a vicious circle. The more self-doubt you have, the less confident you will be. The less confident you are, the more likely you will be shaken during the creative process. The more shaken, the worse the result will be...

Beauty without self-knowledge often describes people who are attracting attention. For people like Jing Yun, the simplest word "inferiority" is enough to describe it.Or to go deeper, her inferiority complex has gradually spread from the psychological to the physical behavior, she will not dare to look at others, her voice will become weaker and weaker, as if there is always a dark cloud over her head superior.

This can't help but make people sigh, no matter two-dimensional or three-dimensional, there is always a vanity fair in all circles, people living at the bottom of the food chain are lingering, and the tears they shed can almost fill the Pacific Ocean, let alone who?

In addition, there is another kind of person, which is in stark contrast to the self-deprecating creators, that is, the heart is higher than the sky and the fate is better than the paper-thin type.He feels that he is number one in the world and is inferior to anyone else, but in fact he is a person who has no such reputation.

"Don't say that." Li Jiaoyang said to Jing Yun, "We don't look at who is popular and who is transparent. It is because our users like your paintings that we come to ask you. Look at those other big names in our cute circle. That's all."

Jing Yun said: "Maybe the nature of the works is different. I draw funny cartoons, and there is no barrier to entry. Other large-scale works have more in-depth connotations, and younger children may not be able to accept them." After listening to this Li Jiaoyang frowned, Shen Yi patted his arm to signal him not to speak, and said to himself: "It's hard to say, but to be liked by others is already a great success."

"That's right." Zhang Chunqiang said, "Comics are not novels. A novel can write millions of words in three to five years, covering everything in the world. But comics may have just drawn the beginning after three to five years. Such a narrative The method will cause the process of accumulating comic readers to be much slower than other media. You can see how many years have passed since Fu Jian’s old thief’s hunter has not finished. A generation has grown up... Take your time, Maybe it will be transferred tomorrow?"

"That's right." Jing Yun said in a low voice.

"Then let's hold a cup for the great cartoonists of the future?" Li Jiaoyang raised the cup in his hand and said to Jing Yun, "If you become popular, remember to give me a set of autographed comics!"

"What do you know, cartoonists are signed and drawn." Shen Yi said.

"It's all the same!" Li Jiaoyang paddled.

Jing Yun clinked glasses with the three of them in embarrassment. After taking a small sip, she quickly put the cup on the table and continued to bow her head.The clink of glasses just now was clear and loud, but it made Jing Yun worried.

Will there be such a day?She murmured in her heart, feeling that under the lights, she looked like a clown deliberately concealing the truth for vanity.Today, her editor had a showdown with her and gave her a deadline. Whether it was life or death would depend on this time. That's why she took every whim interview in the moe circle as a life-saving straw.She was very confused and helpless, and whenever the night was quiet, these negative emotions would expand infinitely.Looking at the paintings on the computer screen, she wanted to go crazy and delete them all at once, but she was very reluctant.

A little transparent like her can't even have the qualification to be willful.

She could only feel that she didn't draw well, the villains on the canvas looked more and more wrong, they gradually changed from cute appearances to bitter and mean, and they all came to mock and complain about her.If it wasn't for her incompetence, wouldn't cute characters like them deserve to be known by more people?

terribly sorry.Jing Yun said silently in her heart, I am too useless.

The voice of apology hovered in her body, and she had no one to talk to.Readers came to her for fun, and did not accept her responsibility to spread negative energy. Even if they had a good chat, readers would not be able to understand her mood, even if it was one in ten thousand.The editor has only a working relationship with her, and cartoonists with good income can delay manuscripts if they want to. In her case, it's not bad that the editor doesn't think she's ashamed.People in the studio?Everyone said that it sounds better to work together, but everyone draws comics. Even if the categories are different, they will unconsciously compare popularity and traffic.Jing Yun is really afraid of these two words, she will be so humiliated that her own mother doesn't even know her.

So she really has no place to say, registering a trumpet or writing a diary to vent, she has tried both, and gradually became a little numb, and after typing a few words to vent, she would not know what she was trying to do, why did she have the time to complain Why don't you draw well?Complaining never really saves a person, it just makes things worse.

In the past, she comforted herself that everyone has their own exclusive time, some people will become famous when they are young, and some people will be late bloomers.She thinks she can persevere, she has perseverance and patience, she...

Is she okay?She didn't even know that she was about to die.

"In short, thank you very much, I will write the answer seriously." Jing Yun covered the glass with both hands, her shoulders retracted cautiously, "I will continue to work hard on the comics."

"Then it's a happy deal!" Li Jiaoyang said with a smile.

The dinner ended quite early, Li Jiaoyang sent Jing Yun off first, then Zhang Chunqiang, and finally Shen Yi home.Only the two of them were left in the car, so he could whisper to Shen Yi.

"Hey, don't you think Jing Yun is different from when she first came here?" Li Jiaoyang asked.

Shen Yi was a little surprised and said: "You can see it? Don't tell me you are interested in her."

"I rely on you to think who I am? Besides, aren't you the only designated girlfriend in the world? Let me tell you, not only my parents, my sister, my brother, but all my friends have met you. Don't you?" Want to be irresponsible..."

"Let's talk about Jing Yun." Shen Yi's brain hurts when he thinks about it, "I think her condition is much worse than when she first came here. At least she won't bow her head when she first came here. I’m always sorry. Look at her now, she’s talking about cheering up, but I think she’s trying to find an excuse for herself.”

"I feel the same way." Li Jiaoyang agreed.

"But what does this have to do with us?" Shen Yi asked, "Don't tell me you want to be brave again?"

"I haven't thought about it." Li Jiaoyang said, "Isn't this always being taught by your old man? It's okay, don't make a fuss all the time. Me, I just gossip when I have nothing to do. I think she is okay. , but it is not a good thing for a little girl to be unconfident, she will be bullied."

"Your daughter has already gone to the club for trial training, so don't worry about other people's daughters, okay?" Shen Yi gave Li Jiaoyang a white look.

Li Jiaoyang said: "Okay, okay, you can say whatever you want. I am thankless. I will send you a circle and go home by myself. If there is no credit, there will be hard work, and you will scold me in the end." He said. The voice of the last few syllables became smaller, and I was a little bit wronged.

Shen Yi glanced at Li Jiaoyang from the rearview mirror, and when he got to the door, he said to Li Jiaoyang: "If you're too lazy to drive back, why don't you just sleep at my house? It happens to take me to work tomorrow."

"That's a good relationship." Li Jiaoyang said, "It saves me to go home and stay alone in the vacant room. Shall we have supper and watch Korean dramas together?"

Shen Yi stretched out his fingers: "You will return home to me immediately!"

Li Jiaoyang refused, and flirted with Shen Yi to go upstairs.
