An Yinong didn't even know what kind of love-hate relationship his peers and readers imagined. He and Xie Jiu were recently going on a blind date with 'Xie Xie' who had grown up enough to lay eggs.

The two searched all over the pet store in Hong Kong City, but they never expected that "Thank you" fell in love with the flower-headed parrot that happened to come to An Yinong.

"They should be reproductively isolated, right?" An Yinong asked Xie Jiu.

"Even if there is no reproductive isolation, the gender is not suitable." They are all males and cannot lay eggs.

An Yinong: ...Are all birds so fashionable these days?

However, the two birds finally overcame many obstacles and announced that they had succeeded in holding hands.

Xie Jiu specially asked someone to build a bigger birdcage.

It's just that the flower-headed parrot has the attribute of 'wild horse', and has many bird friends, and it goes out wandering from time to time. Xie Jiu came to An Yinong with a frustrated expression of 'thank you'.

"You chose it yourself, what's the use of crying?" An Yinong poked 'Thank you' on the head with a paintbrush.

"Jiujiu." As soon as the other bird came, it followed and went away.

"You can go together." An Yinong held his face and analyzed it carefully, "Common interests and hobbies help maintain the healthy development of relationships."

"Jiujiu?" Really?

"Really. And, when Huatou comes back, you can ask where it went, and you can go with it next time."

Xie Jiu watched the young man untie the parrot with a serious face, thinking: Are there any common hobbies?

An Yinong was still thinking about buying some nuts to say "thank you", but within 10 minutes, the flower-headed parrot came back with a bunch of sweet berries.

It turned out that it asked a good friend to pay attention to this berry. The flower-headed parrot likes it very much and wants to taste it with 'thank you'.

This time, it went to pick berries with its friends, and brought them back for 'thank you'.

'Thank you' directly revived with full blood on the spot, and once again looked radiant.There were only two two-legged beasts left feeling choked as they rubbed their stomachs: I never thought that one day I would be shown affection by the parrot.

"Emotional matters need to be clarified and asked clearly. After guessing and guessing, I shut myself up." After the matter was settled, An Yinong took a sip of tea, bowed his head and continued to draw the manuscript.

He painted "Monster City".

Inspired by the Walled City and that night of kidnapping, so a little bit of cyberpunk.

Xie Jiu was looking at the finished sketches, and he lamented An Yinong's imagination, the kind of watch-like, light and shadow projected in the air with touch screen control, which can communicate, watch videos and listen to music, or "computer" for telecommuting very interesting.

Even people don't need to care about the distance when meeting, their images are directly projected in the virtual space, except for the top 'hackers' who shuttle across the network, the meeting has absolute confidentiality.

The virtual world is so convenient and has everything you need, you can get the enjoyment of ancient emperors without spending a lot of money.

Moreover, ordinary-looking people in reality can become handsome men and beautiful women in the virtual world, and ordinary-looking people can command one party in the virtual world.The virtual world gives people another possibility.

No wonder people in comics are obsessed with virtual worlds.

However, in contrast to the freedom of the Internet is the abandoned dense human community in the corner of reality, with layers of pigeon cages. Except for the central activity area, the lower floors of other places do not see sunlight all year round.

Xie Jiu, who came out of the Walled City, seemed to see the shadow of the Walled City.

However, the rapid progress of technology has not only brought good things.

In the future world, the gap between the rich and the poor will be even greater, classes will become more obscure and difficult to cross, and human desires will breed 'monsters'.There is no specific image of monsters, but the grotesque human beings whose hearts have been polluted by monsters.

This is where the name "Monster City" comes from.

Xie Jiu saw that he forgot the time. Human beings in the future seem to be more sober, colder and more depressed than the current people. They work and study like robots during the day, and indulge in various magical entertainments at night.

I can't see much passion from them, only the numbness after being beaten by reality.

Although they look human, they occasionally feel that they are a group of tools kidnapped by machinery, high technology and short-term excitement.

Of course, some of them are unwilling to be kidnapped by various rules, live freely, and occasionally have too much freedom.

These people have crossed the boundaries of certain rules and become criminals.In order not to go to prison, they went to the forgotten corner of the world - Monster City.

The monster city is a strange place. Every day, many young people leave the monster city, and many young people enter the monster city from outside.

This small place welcomes everyone with open arms, and it seems that there is no absolute good or bad, only a balance.

A person who can balance humanity and animal nature is an ordinary person, and a person who can't balance well will easily become a 'monster'.

What Xie Jiu found more interesting was the protagonist of the manga, a degenerate but not fully degenerate human being, who, because of his obsession with machinery, violated the law by conducting human experiments and transforming himself into a half mechanical life.

He lives in a small corner in the steel jungle, and looks like an ordinary bookstore owner, guarding the physical books that were eliminated 800 years ago.

The protagonist intersects with various 'monsters' in this small corner, such as the owner of the resentful house walking in the yin and yang worlds, the wanderer from the dragon kingdom, the curse-ridden doctor and so on.

He also interacts with ordinary people outside, and their tacit agreement is not to disturb each other, let alone destroy his peaceful life as a bookstore owner.

It's a pity that this city has been undercurrents recently, and it seems that there is an unknown force that wants to push this corner to self-destruction, so the protagonist who is dedicated to supporting the elderly can't sit still.

He wants to find the relatively peaceful person who destroyed the monster city.

"This is the first time I've seen such a powerful character who wants to live an ordinary life." Xie Jiu found that he could understand 'him'.

"This is what you said before, the style you want to change?"

"Huh?" An Yinong remembered that Xie Jiu probably didn't know that 'Gu Pan' was also his vest, so he didn't answer directly, but asked, "What do you think of this style?"

"I think it's good, but you know, I don't read manga very much." To be precise, Xie Jiu only read 'Yinong' manga.He is not interested in comics, he is interested in the man who draws them.

An Yinong lowered his head and continued to trace the manuscript with the underlining pen: "I know you are very busy, Mr. Xie, the chairman of the board of directors who manages everything every day, is there no work today?"

"If you have to do everything yourself, how can you be the boss?"

An Yinong, who draws comics by himself: ...

"It's different from your situation. You are more 'big cartoonist' than 'magazine owner'." Xie Jiu looked down at his watch, "The matter of 'thank you' is settled, I should go too."

"I'm not going to see him off, let's go slowly." An Yinong didn't get up to see him off, but lived next door, wasn't he too tired to see him off?

Xie Jiu looked back at him burying his head in drawing, and then at the two parrots in pairs in his hands. For a moment, he was envious of his parrots.

"At least we don't have reproductive isolation, although it's useless." Xie Jiu squinted at the birdcage in his hand.

"Jiujiu?" Xie Xie shrank his neck and put on the decal head parrot. For some reason, he always felt that the master's eyes on it were a bit dangerous.

"Monster City" has been serialized for many days, and readers have found the source of inspiration through the clues on the screen - the Walled City.

"For the first time, I realized that our Walled City is such a cool place." The people in the Walled City were extremely curious, and even the hooligans in the East District of the Walled City came out to buy magazines, saying that their boss wanted to read them.

An Yinong actually received a letter from the East District of the Walled City, in which there was a photo of poss, the muscles were smeared with oil, and there were tattoos, knife scars and bullet holes on the skin.

This person briefly described his life in Jianghu in three pieces of paper, hoping to get a role in "Monster City", and the villain doesn't matter.

An Yinong always felt threatened: ...

This comic with a strange style has surpassed the previous serialization record of "The Desert" and has become this year's dark horse male-themed comic.

The reason for adding a "male theme" limitation is because "Mr" of "Gu Pan" is an unshakable mountain of "female theme" comics.

The story of "Mr." is not complicated. It is a love story of 'Yin Nuo', a human girl living in modern times, and 'Yan Hee', a ghost of an ancient nobleman who appeared after breaking an antique hair comb.

In the identity setting, one of them is a fish in water and the other is a bird in the air.But because Yinuo broke the hair comb, their fates have been linked together ever since.

Yinuo is frank and sincere, Yanxi is considerate and introverted, they will think about each other, but they will not make their own opinions. This way of getting along is different from the previous "human and ghost love is not over", it seems relaxed, and there is a kind of saying no out of touch.

Between teachers and students, between humans and ghosts, between the collision of modern and ancient concepts, the implicit and secret love makes all the emotional readers fascinated.

Moreover, this also breaks the rumor that 'Gu Pan' only draws adventure comics with female-themed shells, and 'Gu Pan' draws emotional comics, which are also top-notch.

At the same time, some history-loving readers came out to fight, arguing about the specific era and background of the hero.

When An Yinong set up the male protagonist, he specifically referred to his previous life, and the details were in place.

At the same time, there are poems written by An Yinong before. The male protagonist can recite poems and compose Fu at his fingertips, and he knows the six arts of a gentleman and has various elegant hobbies.

It is this sense of reality that makes the conflict and fusion of ancient and modern concepts in this comic more interesting.

But in this way, a new question arises, who is the leading figure in "Painting Friends" magazine, 'Yinong' or 'Gu Pan'? "Monster City" and "Mr", who can support the sales of "Painting Friends" better? Are 'Yinong' and 'Gu Pan' friends or rivals?

A bunch of tabloids were speculating and betting there, wishing that the rumored friends who had a very good relationship would have internal strife and part ways.It's best to leave "Painting Friends" and fall into other people's bowls. ——From other magazines who are eyeing it.

Infighting is impossible. The title of the next episode of "Yinong" is "Adversary, but also a friend", and the title of the next episode of "Gu Pan" is "This feeling will not change, this heart will not change".

It's like taking a sip of sweet maple syrup through the paper.

But the current situation of two stars competing for glory really needs to be resolved. The comics of the two of them occupy more than half of the magazine "Painting Friends", leaving too little space for others, which is not conducive to the long-term healthy development of the magazine.

Therefore, "Painting Friends" magazine decided to divide "Painting Friends" into two parts.

The original "Painting Friends" was renamed "Manlin Pavilion", and a female-themed comic magazine - "Rose Pavilion" was separated. In the future, the comics of "Gu Pan" will be moved to "Rose Pavilion". At the same time, all cartoonists are welcome to contribute. At present Only comics with female protagonists are accepted.

In addition, the first issue of "Rose House" magazine randomly published character bookmarks drawn by 'Gu Pan'. Interested readers can make an appointment in advance.

As a result, the [-] copies of the first edition of the "Rose House" magazine did not reach the market at all, and were pre-ordered by readers.The "Rose Pavilion" magazine that appeared on the market later is already the second batch of reprints.

This shows how big the consumer group of female-themed comics is and how high their spending power is.

In addition, the overseas editions of "Manlin Pavilion" and "Rose Pavilion" have also attracted a new generation of cartoonists and gained a backbone force. Their magazines have the potential to become dark horses in the industry.

Other comic magazines are already drooling.

"Gu Pan from the South to Nong to the North" (originally Gu Pan from a man to a farmer to a woman, but later changed to Nanbei), the two most capable people in the new generation of cartoonists, why can't they dig a single one? What benefits does "Painting Friends" promise?

The president of "Painting Friends" also wanted to know this question, he thought about it: "Probably because of feelings?"

"Maybe they stay here because of their feelings, but we can't just speak with feelings." An Yinong and the president said that he intends to find an animation production company to make animations.

However, at present, the resources in his hands are only enough to make one animation, which is tentatively scheduled to be "The Girl with the Spirit".Because it has a relaxed style of painting and tells a story of growth, it is suitable for all ages, men and women, and is suitable for animation.

"Then Yinong, what should I say?" The president was a little worried, 'Yinong' came earlier than 'Gu Pan', and it was his comics that became famous first, but now 'Gu Pan' took the opportunity. No matter how good the relationship is, it should be emotional now, right?

An Yinong: "We will push "Monster City" abroad with all our strength."

The style of "Monster City" is very suitable for internationalization, and its imagination about the future is also very attractive.

An Yinong thought he handled it properly, but he never expected that after the outside world found out about this matter, such reports appeared in the newspapers:

"Capital Intervention, Gu Pan's comics and animations, settling on the No. 1 throne of best-selling comics, drinking hatred with agriculture. "

"The Director Loves 'Gu Pan', Former Friends Become Enemies Today? Where does "Yinong" go from here? "

Xie Jiu next door came to him with two parrots: "You and Gu Pan are on good terms?"
