The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

Shepherd is not surprised that the popularity of the Sherlock Holmes series and "The Fall of Las Vegas" on the Internet is getting lower and lower.

In order to ensure the sales of physical books, except for academic research periodicals, most publications follow a model that is highly similar to movies, that is, only one month after the publication of the weekly, can the electronic version be released by the copyright owner Upload to the web.

Because of this, when the readers of Xingning Province finally waited for the fifth chapter of the Sherlock Holmes series, the physical weekly magazine of "Hua Ying Manga" has been updated to the eighth chapter.

In other words, when readers finally saw the follow-up to the fourth episode, it was already a month later.

One month is not a long time, but it is enough to kill some readers' enthusiasm for the Siege and Sherlock Holmes series. As other comic magazines have also released the same type of reasoning comics, except for a few readers who are not required by "Picture Weekly", more People turned their attention to other similarly interesting magazines.

Just when more and more readers are attracted by other comics and almost forget the existence of "Hua Ying Manga", the sales and popularity of "Hua Ying Manga", which is only published in other provinces, are not fast or slow. The speed is increasing day by day.

The fifth issue, 98.

The sixth period, 112 million.

The seventh period, 131 million.

The eighth period, 149 million.

……

The sales volume was finally fixed at around 150 million.

For a non-local comic magazine, the achievements of "Hua Ying Manga" can be said to be quite good.Compared with local comic magazines, the sales volume of 150 million is not particularly large, but at least it can squeeze into the middle reaches. The name of "Huaying Comic" is gradually being mentioned frequently by comic lovers and reasoning fans.

Collins had planned to do his homework first.

It is now six o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still one hour before the dinner time set by his parents-this time is enough for him to finish today's homework in a relatively relaxed manner.

but--

Just when Collins put down his schoolbag and lined up the textbooks and stationery on the desk, the eighth chapter of "Hua Ying Manga", which he could barely buy today, suddenly fell out of the dazzling textbook .

Collins sat in a chair at the desk.

At this moment, he has turned the homework book to the page that needs to be completed, the pen to be used has also taken off the cap, and everything is ready for work, but his mind has drifted uncontrollably to another dimension——

Speaking of which, where did the story progress in the last issue of "The Four Signatures of Sherlock Holmes"?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head and glanced at "Hua Ying Manga" neatly placed on the other side.

The cover of the weekly magazine fell in his eyes with that brief glance, and the name of the eighth chapter was Interruption of Threads.Perhaps Holmes had run into a little trouble at last, but he would certainly be able to solve it, Collins was convinced of it—the only difference was how Holmes would solve it.

Then he took another look at the comics on the table.

Collins: ...

"It's not my fault," Collins said to himself, "it was the comic that fell out for me to see first, and it was the comic that moved first!" As he said, as if to strengthen the credibility of this statement, he Then he nodded self-consciously: "That's right, it was the manga who made the first move!"

Anyway, there aren't many homework assignments this time, so it's okay to read this episode of Sherlock Holmes first, and then do the homework, right?

Thinking of this, Collins left the homework in front of him without hesitation, grabbed the manga that had been silently tempting him since the beginning, and quickly turned to the page that belonged to Holmes——

He had just opened the manga in his hand, before he could take a closer look at it, the next second, another hand passed behind his arm and took the manga away.Collins yelled that it was not good, he turned his head, and then saw his mother casually flipping through the comics in his hand, then closed them with a "snap", and gave him a half-smile look.

"Honey, have you finished your homework today?"

Collins honestly: "No."

Emily smiled: "How did you promise me last week?"

"...I have to finish my homework every day before I can play games and read manga QAQ."

"Be good," Emily showed her son a gentle smile, but put away the comics mercilessly in her hand: "I'll take the comics first, and I'll give them to you when I finish my homework."

After saying this, Emily ignored her son's pitiful eyes, and closed the door coldly when leaving the room.

Throwing the comics to a corner of the study, Emily turned on the computer and started today's work.

As a university professor of history, Emily's so-called work is actually preparing for tomorrow's history class in advance. Fortunately, during the day, she prepared a rough idea, and the rest of the content is just preparation for the day. Do a simple sorting, and it will be basically completed in less than half an hour.

After finishing tomorrow's lesson plan, Emily took out a blank notebook from the drawer and fell into deep thought.

Just a week ago, she had agreed to an invitation from a friend of hers who is now an editor for the journal World History of Literature to write a research paper on the Victorian period in England.The general idea is already in place. What bothers Emily is the specific idea of ​​the thesis. She has tried to write several versions these days, but the final result is not satisfactory.

No, still no.

Looking at the manuscript paper that had been declared invalid again, Emily rubbed her temples with a helpless expression on her face.

Strictly speaking, the scrap manuscript she wrote earlier was actually not badly written, and it might pass in other journals.But the other party she wants to contribute to is "World Literature and History" after all-the latter has always had strict standards for publishing papers, and it is an authoritative magazine in history that can be called the name in the entire Blue Star.

While turning the pen in her hand, she casually looked at the bookshelf behind her, trying to find some useful inspiration from it, but without success.

Just when she was thinking about whether to put the paper in her hand away first, the weekly comic magazine that she had thrown in the corner before suddenly appeared in her vision.

Emily froze for a moment, and was about to look away—she was not a fan of comics, let alone the slightest interest in these things, but at the same moment she looked away, when she was flipping through the comics before, The picture she accidentally saw suddenly appeared in her mind without warning.

Wait, that picture seems to be...

Emily's heart skipped a beat.

She stood up from her seat all of a sudden, took the "Hua Ying Manga" over in two or three steps, and after roughly flipping through the entire comic magazine, she finally set her sights on the book titled "Sherlock Holmes No. [-]" Signed on the comics.

Emily is not a fan of comics.

Normally, Emily wouldn't even take a second look at an entertainment comic magazine like this.In her opinion, if she has time to read such unnutritious comic magazines, she might as well read a few more interesting academic papers.

But the comic magazine in front of me seems to be different.

Emily has never read the previous content of this comic, and she also has a vague understanding of the plot of this comic, but this is not important. What makes her care is not the plot of this comic itself, but the plot of the comic. While the plot develops naturally, a series of details that are vivid and belong to the Victorian period are displayed unconsciously.

At the beginning, Emily thought that the author of this comic only drew a few common small details symbolically to highlight the era and atmosphere of the story, but when she ignored the plot and seriously After carefully reading the pictures in it one by one, he was stunned.

As a professor of the Department of History, Emily's knowledge accumulation and cultural heritage in history are naturally worth mentioning, not to mention that the Victorian period is still her favorite era.

Because of this, while Emily was attracted by the pictures about Victorian London in this comic, she actually read it with a picky mentality.

However, when Emily read the cartoon in front of her from beginning to end again, she was surprised to find——

No.

There is not a single picture that is fake and does not conform to historical facts!

Not only that, except for most of the pictures that Emily can quickly recognize, there are also a few details that she can't make a judgment with for sure. If it is other comics, Emily may regard it as The cartoonist drew it casually, but with the previous 100% correct rate, Emily dared not draw conclusions at will.

Not only that……

When her eyes fell on the cartoon in front of her, a thoughtful look appeared on Emily's face.

Although she doesn't have any evidence at the moment to prove the correctness of these details, a certain intuition in her heart tells Emily that the Victorian London shown in this comic is the London that cannot be more real in history.

In the room, Collins was still working hard on his homework.

He concentrated his attention so that he would not think about the plot in the comics, while trying to think about the exercises in front of him. At this moment, the door of the room behind him opened again.

Collins was slightly taken aback, not understanding why his mother had left and returned, so Emily asked straight to the point: "What about the first seven issues of "Hua Ying Manga"?"

Collins didn't know how he handed over the first seven issues of "Hua Ying Manga" to his mother.When he finally came back to his senses, his mother, who is known as "never read comics", had already left in a hurry holding a pile of comic magazines.

It was as if what she was holding was not some meaningless comic magazine, but some novel and important baby.

A week later.

When Ye Shulin finally finished watching the long-awaited sixth chapter of the Sherlock Holmes series through the computer, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

There is less than a day left before the deadline for the thesis set by the professor.

too difficult.

Sherlock Holmes, a reader from the province next door, has already read chapter nine, and now he can only read chapter six. Before he can fully enjoy it, he has to put down the comics and obediently write his thesis.

Life is so hard.

Ye Shulin thought resentfully, while opening HowNet, he was going to look at other similar papers for inspiration.He didn’t want to open HowNet just now, a completely unexpected name suddenly caught his eyes like that——

"Victorian England seen from Sherlock Holmes"
