If the reminder fails, you will be teased

Chapter 75

Since Luo Wangshu came to Ruiyi for an internship, the good news of Ruiyi Culture has come one after another.

In recent years, the country has listed the cultural and creative industry as a national strategic industry, and has given certain support and protection in terms of finance and policy. Among them, the development of the animation industry is the most prominent. It not only exported several dramas and movies with good reputation in China, but also The works of many domestic cartoonists have been published in popular overseas magazines, and their popularity is no less than that of local cartoons.

Ruiyi Culture initially started as a literary review, and it was not ranked among the literary magazines. One of the most important reasons why it was able to quickly rank among the top is that the decision-makers at the helm were at the helm when youth literature first showed a glimmer of light in China. Dare to take the lead in throwing capital on it, and captured the love of a large number of young people.

When this group of readers grows older, new periodicals will be launched to draw a wider audience age group. Compared with similar periodicals that were founded later, it will naturally have more brand advantages and a stronger reader base.

Among the many periodicals of Ruiyi, the launch time of the comic periodical is the latest, and some well-known domestic comic writers have already signed contracts with other companies.

Most of the people who like comics are purer in nature, not as thoughtful as businessmen. They supported each other when the comics industry was in a downturn. It is not easy to find cartoonists.

Therefore, Ruiyi's main focus here is the manga adaptation of the magazine's best-selling novels, and the income has always been neither bad nor good.When Luo Wangshu was helping out in the art department, he also browsed through the monthly periodicals on the bookshelf in the work area. Except for the hype of novels, it was indeed inferior to domestic magazines specializing in comics. Can't compare with well-known cartoonists.

However, such an embarrassing situation will definitely be broken before the end of this year.

Luo Wangshu had just punched out his card today, and before he had time to get to his seat, Guo Yi patted his shoulder hard from behind.It came so suddenly, Luo Wangshu was so photographed that he almost spit out his heart and lungs.

"I hear Li Ya and the others call you mascot every day, and it seems that you are right." Guo Yi has been very busy recently, a circle of black has begun to appear under her eyes, and some bags under her eyes are also obvious, but her eyes are extremely bright and extremely excited look. "What are your plans after graduation? Do you want to consider working in our company?"

Luo Wangshu was confused, and turned to look at her in a daze: "... huh?"

Why did you suddenly mention this to him?

"Since you came here, just the fact that Qiao Wei didn't delay the manuscript is enough to praise you until next year." Guo Yi stopped by his table and laughed. "Otherwise, when you start school, give me a photo of you, and hang a copy at the door of each work area."

Luo Wangshu was even more confused, hearing that Guo Yi was joking with him, thought briefly about the scene where his photos were full of determination, and his expression suddenly became horrible.

I've only heard that when cursing someone, it is said to stick photos on the door to ward off evil spirits, but I haven't heard that it is also necessary to post photos on the door when complimenting people.

"The news that was finalized last night, the comic periodical is saved." Guo Yi finally got to the point.

"Really?" Luo Wangshu's eyes also lit up, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth also widened. "Is it signed to the Great God?"

"I didn't sign in, but it's not much worse than this." Guo Yi asked him with a smile. "You also like anime, you should have heard of Igarashi Okagawa."

Luo Wangshu has not only heard of it, as soon as the name came out of Guo Yi's mouth, his eyes widened, and he stuttered a bit: "...No, no way, comic journals are also cooperating with foreign countries? "So fast?

"No." Guo Yi waved his hand. "The rights to the anime were sold. Igarashi Okagawa is in charge of the manga adaptation. It will be serialized simultaneously with Japan's CIZO starting next month."

"What novel? Which book to adapt?" Luo Wangshu also became excited. No wonder Guo Yi was in such an abnormal mood today.

Igarashi Okagawa is a talented manga artist in Japan, with both fame and talent. Although he is a bit old, his brains are more breakthrough than the new generation of young people.

Luo Wangshu has loved to read his comics since middle school, and has followed a lot of his dramas.To count the cartoonists he admires the most, Igarashi Okagawa will definitely be at the top.

"Retrograde," Guo Yi told him. "It's the first book published by Qiao Wei."

Luo Wangshu was stunned, and the excitement was inexplicably extinguished a little: "... Qiao Wei's?" Why didn't I hear Qiao Wei mention it?

"Yes." Guo Yi nodded.

Luo Wangshu and Guo Yi both came earlier, and it was only now that people came in one after another, greeted Guo Yi and sat down in their respective seats.

It's not time for work yet, and the editor next door to Luo Wangshu also came over: "He is finally willing to let go? Last year, several companies wanted to buy copyrights, but he didn't even look at it."

"At the beginning of this month, I told me that I was willing to release the animation copyright. As soon as CIZO heard the limelight, they immediately flew over to negotiate the contract." "Ms. Igarashi even came over in person, it's almost inevitable."

Luo Wangshu didn't know much about Qiao Wei's reluctance to sell copyrights in the past. From the conversation between Guo Yi and the editor, it can be heard that some writers who value their works are also unwilling to sell copyrights casually.Novels and film and television animations have different expression methods, and it is difficult to completely restore them. It requires the writer himself to put in a lot of effort to deal with the script.

Qiao Wei was already busy enough, and he was reluctant to write novels before, so how could he be willing to devote his energy to discussing the script.

Luo Wangshu turned on the computer, put his right hand into his pocket, took out the phone and pressed the screen to turn on. There was an unread message, which was a QQ message from Qiao Wei. draft.

This man was going to sell the copyright at the beginning of the month, but he didn't tell him until now that the contract was finalized.Although it was just a trivial matter, Luo Wangshu still felt uncomfortable.

He tapped twice on the head of the fox with his fingertips, and gave Qiao Wei a squinting expression.

Qiao Wei quickly replied: [I'll go find you in the afternoon. 】

Luo Wangshu had no choice but to move back the finger that was hanging on the back button: 【I don't miss work. 】

[This is called a leave of absence. 】Qiao Wei is confident. 【I will talk to Guo Yi. 】

Luo Wangshu rubbed the tip of his nose: [The internship is about to end, so don't make trouble. 】

Qiao Wei sent an emoticon stolen from Luo Wangshu, and an anime character lay down at the table and laughed inexplicably, neither saying yes nor no.

Luo Wangshu wanted to ask him about copyright, but then he thought that Qiao Wei might not have taken this kind of matter to heart, and before he hesitated, the music reminder for going to work rang.He could only sigh softly, push his phone aside, and open his mailbox to see if there were any new work tasks.

During lunch time, Qiao Wei called him. He only talked about small daily topics, and took advantage of him verbally by the way. He didn't mention the copyright of animation, and he didn't mention the matter of coming to him.

When Luo Wangshu hung up the phone, he made up his mind that he must pinch Qiao Wei's neck once after work. As a result, at four o'clock in the afternoon, someone grabbed his shoulder from behind, and when he turned around, he saw Qiao Wei leaning over to look at it with a smile on his face. The draft paper he laid out at hand.

Today's work is relatively free, Luo Wangshu was so bored that he tore up a piece of paper to scribble casually, next to the tip of the pen was Qiao Wei's name with a big cross on it.

"What are you doing here?" Luo Wangshu looked down on his neck for two seconds, then moved up to meet his eyes.

Qiao Wei packed up his things while answering: "Pick you up."

"I said I won't be absent from work." Luo Wangshu patted his hand away, half angry.

Qiao Wei raised his hand to cover his forehead, pushed Luo Wangshu back into his arms, and took advantage of his unbalanced body to clean up the things on the table with one hand: "It's a vacation, Guo Yi has already agreed. "

After finishing speaking, he involuntarily lifted Luo Wangshu's bag and lifted him from his seat.

In terms of strength, Luo Wangshu is no match for Qiao Wei.Once Qiao Wei is serious, he even has little chance of resisting.

When Qiao Wei came to pick up Luo Wangshu recently, he was seen several times by others, and the editor next door was almost immune to Qiao Wei's appearance here.When Qiao Wei called Guo Yi, she was in the editor's office. Seeing Luo Wangshu being forced to stand up by Qiao Wei, she asked Luo Wangshu, "Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo, can you bring me an autograph?" .”

Luo Wangshu looked at her puzzled, then looked at Qiao Wei, thinking that the real person is here, why would he ask him to help bring something like a signature.

Before he could ask, Qiao Wei dragged him away from the work area, walked all the way to the parking lot, and neatly stuffed him into the car with a smile on his lips, obviously in a good mood.

"Where are you going?" Luo Wangshu resigned himself to a comfortable position.

Qiao Wei replied with a smile, "Eat."

"Now?" Luo Wangshu looked at him.

Qiao Wei deepened his smile, noncommittal.

The car had already driven into the bustling street, Luo Wangshu didn't want to disturb him, and planned to find some snacks to pass the time.He opened the storage box in the car and found an extra brown paper bag inside.

Luo Wangshu paused with his fingertips. Qiao Wei had emphasized before that he could move anything directly, so he pulled out the kraft paper bag from it without asking, and weighed it in his hand.

"Open it and take a look?" Qiao Wei still looked ahead and said with a smile.

Luo Wangshu glanced at him, and opened the paper bag without being polite.Inside was a stack of papers, guessing it might be the copyright contract that Guo Yi mentioned.As soon as he pulled out the thing, Luo Wangshu was stunned.

The top one is a painting he has published on Weibo.

Luo Wangshu flipped through them one by one, and found that they were all his works, arranged in chronological order, and at the bottom were a few comic strips he drew last time.

"Why are you printing these..." Luo Wangshu had received sample booklets and postcards as gifts when he was drawing covers for others before, but this was the first time he encountered his works being printed out in this form, and was even rejected Officially sealed in a brown paper bag.

Arriving at the destination, Qiao Wei reversed the car into the parking space and did not answer Luo Wangshu's question. Instead, he just smiled at him, put the drawing back into the paper bag, and leaned over to use his lips when unfastening Luo Wangshu's seat belt. It dawdled twice on his forehead.

Luo Wangshu's mind has been full of confusion since this morning, Qiao Wei refused to answer, and the anxiety buried in his heart suddenly emerged.

He got out of the car and looked up, Qiao Wei brought him to the hot pot restaurant that he wanted to eat two days ago, and his little anxiety and hopelessness were half turned off.

Luo Wangshu and Qiao Wei walked to the pre-booked cubicle under the leadership of the service staff, and when they opened the door, they saw three other people sitting inside.

Luo Wangshu could see clearly the face of the middle-aged man sitting between the three of them. The cells all over his body seemed to be scalded by boiling water. He involuntarily stopped in front of the cubicle door, and was pushed by Qiao Wei behind his waist. It took a while to walk in unbelievably.

When the three people saw them coming in, they got up and greeted them with smiles. Two of them spoke Japanese, and the other one was an interpreter. He politely called "Mr. Qiao" and smiled at Luo Wangshu who was beside him.

When Luo Wangshu sat across from him, he was still in a daze. When Qiao Wei introduced Luo Wangshu to the other party, he specifically pointed out that Luo Wangshu liked the other party's works since he was a child. The middle-aged man smiled heartily and talked with Luo Wangshu. Wang Shu shook hands, making Luo Wangshu's heart almost explode on the spot.

It was only at this time that he realized why when he left Ruiyi, Qiao Wei was obviously by his side, and the editor next door specifically asked him to help bring an autograph.

——What I want is not Qiao Wei's signature, but Igarashi Okagawa's signature!

Luo Wangshu was overwhelmed and overwhelmed, Qiao Wei secretly held his fingertips under the table, and chatted with him about the adaptation of comics.

Igarashi Okagawa admired Qiao Wei's talent in private, and was deeply impressed by the novel plot shown in Retrograde. He expressed that he absolutely respected the original work and tried his best to restore the scene in Qiao Wei's heart.

The first three chapters of the novel will start to be serialized next month. Qiao Wei and Igarashi Okagawa efficiently finalized the details, and after finishing their official business, they began to chat about daily trivial matters while enjoying hot pot.

Talking about the funny incident that happened when Igarashi Okgawa participated in the activities of Japanese universities in the first half of the year, Qiao Wei smiled and said: "My child also started to get in touch with art under the influence of you, and often told me that you are the manga he admires the most. Home, it made me a little jealous."

As he spoke, he tapped his fingers on Luo Wangshu's forehead. Luo Wangshu was holding the bamboo shoots. With a flick of his finger, the bamboo shoots slid back into the plate.

What is his child? It seems that Luo Wangshu came into contact with art not only because of Igarashi Okagawa's comics... and when did he tell Qiao Wei that the cartoonist he admired most was Igarashi Okagawa, although He did like him a lot.

The translator relayed Qiao Wei's words to Igarashi Okagawa in Japanese, and Igarashi Okagawa looked at Luo Wangshu with a smile and spoke a long string of Japanese.

"The teacher said that just by looking at your fingers, you can tell that you must have worked hard for many years in painting. You have both sincerity and perseverance. I believe that the future must be limitless." The interpreter smiled to Luo Wangshu. "If there is a chance, I also hope to appreciate your work."

Luo Wangshu was flattered, and as soon as he said "thank you", Qiao Wei put down his chopsticks and took out the kraft paper bag.

The ingredients on the table were almost eaten, and Igarashi Okagawa had already put down his chopsticks. Qiao Wei had grasped the rhythm of the conversation from the very beginning, and seemed to be planning to hand over the drawing after the other party finished eating.

"I secretly printed out the things he drew. It's a rare opportunity. I hope Mr. Igarashi can correct me." Qiao Wei deepened his smile, handed the paper bag over, and then moved his hand to Luo Wangshu's hair. .

Igarashi Okagawa took the paper bag, and when he opened it, there was a message in his eyes: I am very interested.

Luo Wangshu really wanted to die, and immediately stepped on Qiao Wei's toes under the table.

Qiao Wei continued to rub his hair reassuringly, signaling him not to worry.

Igarashi Okagawa turned over the two sheets, the light of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he couldn't help uttering a sentence of emotion in Japanese.

This sentence is a line that has appeared in many anime, expressing a high degree of appreciation.

Luo Wangshu became even more nervous, the bamboo shoots that had just fallen were lying alone on the plate, unable to wait for Luo Wangshu to enjoy it again for a long time.

Igarashi Okagawa couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the last strip, then carefully folded up the drawing neatly, gave Luo Wangshu a thumbs up, and said in an extremely awkward tone: "Great. "

This moment made Luo Wangshu more happy than suddenly winning the lottery jackpot.

Igarashi Okagawa pointed out Luo Wangshu's characteristics one by one, and finally pointed out two problems in the storyboard for his article, and told him precisely and simply how to deal with special scenes, which made Luo Wangshu's heart beat so fast , I couldn't help curling my fingertips into my palm several times.

With the help of an interpreter, the two communicated on comic creation for nearly half an hour. Luo Wangshu also slowly suppressed his excitement and concentrated on absorbing the experience taught by Igarashi Okagawa. The gains were greater than the half a year of groping alone. out a lot.

Qiao Wei looked at him with bright eyes, and nodded solemnly to be taught, his cheeks were slightly flushed because of his high emotions, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.He could understand why parents would be so proud when they heard their children being praised. Luo Wangshu was recognized and appreciated by Igarashi Okagawa, which made him more satisfied than Qiao Wei's work.

After talking with Luo Wangshu, Igarashi Okagawa saw Qiao Wei on the other side, and an idea came to his mind, and he speeded up his speech to express something to the translator.

After listening to the translation, the translator said to Qiao Wei: "May I ask if Mr. Qiao would like to add some behind-the-scenes stories in the comics."

"Huh?" Qiao Wei was puzzled.

"It's similar to a small theater. It doesn't need to be long, and it can be expressed in four-frame comics." The translator explained, smiling and looking at Luo Wangshu. "The teacher said that he hadn't met such a spiritual junior for a long time. Unfortunately, the distance is too far to guide him personally, but he still hopes to cooperate with this little gentleman."

cooperate?Luo Wangshu was stunned as if Zhongtian Linggai had been struck by lightning.

"If the novel also has some small theater content, Mr. Xiao may try to draw it first. After the teacher has reviewed it and confirmed that it is correct, he will publish it after the main play."

Just after the translation was finished, Igarashi Okagawa added a few more words, which were still words of affirmation for Luo Wangshu.

Luo Wangshu's ability is indeed outstanding, but to be honest, it has not reached the point where Igarashi Okagawa can put down his airs and actively seek cooperation.The reason why Igarashi Okagawa invited him was because he really admired Luo Wangshu, and secondly, he hoped that he could use this to curry favor with Qiao Wei. After this manga was finished, he could win the copyright of the next novel and continue to cooperate.

In any case, it's a win-win situation, so there's no need for Qiao Wei to refuse.

He was too lazy to write something like a small theater, but if Luo Wangshu could accumulate experience, even if it was time to go to the bathroom, Qiao Wei would have to hold it back.

Igarashi Okagawa was going back to China the next day. In addition to the email address of the studio, he also exchanged personal contact information with Luo Wangshu before leaving, which made Luo Wangshu feel restless on the way back.

Luo's father and Luo's mother went to other places to attend an academic seminar yesterday, and it would take two days to come back. Qiao Wei simply took Luo Wangshu to his home.

As soon as Luo Wangshu entered the door, before Luo Wangshu had time to find out his slippers, Qiao Wei pushed him against the wall of the entrance, and his body immediately clung to him.

"What, what?" Luo Wangshu was taken aback by him.

"My manuscript is finished." Qiao Wei also drank wine during the meal, and Qiao Wei smelled faintly of alcohol.When he was talking, he slightly bent his knees and pressed against Luo Wangshu's inner thighs, which was obvious.

Luo Wangshu was enveloped by the strong hormonal breath, and his breathing couldn't help but increase. He was about to speak, but the sentence "Let me check it first" was entangled and crushed by the hot lips and tongue that came over him.
