Jianghu Martial Arts School [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

Chen Yue has used the account of "喵喵爱画画" to post on Weibo some of the small Q-version cartoons she usually draws for several years, and has a few fans. She usually receives orders or advertisements every month. She got a lot of money, so she didn't look for a job after graduating from university, but chose to stay at home full-time.

Unlike those painters who have millions of fans on Weibo, she has not received much professional training. Her painting skills are all found out by watching videos and books, and she can only draw some cute ones. Three heads and a small body, so although he has some fame, it is far from being famous in the circle.

She has been drawing villains for several years, and most of the painters in the same period have published their own books, but for some unknown reason, she alone has not been able to publish a collection of her paintings.It’s not that the publishing house has not inquired during the period, and sometimes even negotiated, but finally received a notice saying that the publishing house has been short of book numbers recently, and she is a newcomer who has never published a book. Put her notebook aside for a while, and wait for a while.

After waiting for this, there was no reply, and I don't know if the publishing house has not been able to get the ISBN or I have been tragically forgotten.

But not long ago, another editor poked her privately on Weibo, saying that he liked the comics she had serialized very much, and asked if he would hand them over to their publishing house for publication.

Chen Yue checked. This is a newly established publishing company affiliated to a video website. The company mainly deals in comics and animation. It is said that the comics published by their company have a higher chance of being pushed to the video website to be adapted into animation. of.Although the company is newly established and the current scale is not large, judging from some of the published works, the quality is still good.

The contract was negotiated quickly, and everything went smoothly this time. The editor said that as long as there were no accidents, the book would be published smoothly in two months.

The editor took a fancy to a series of cartoons drawn by Chen Yue in the past two years, using herself as the model, telling a story of the growth of a lonely, three-none girl.

The girl is introverted, closed in her own small world, she looks like a taciturn and boring girl to outsiders, she looks listless all day long, and seems not interested in everything around her, but in fact her inner world is extraordinarily rich, and she has super skills in complaining .The whole manga revolves around the girl's inner vision.

During the serialization of the manga, this lonely and somewhat mournful ordinary girl resonated with many netizens, and Chen Yue also gradually gained attention from this series.

The name of this series of comics is "Depressed Girl", and it is still slowly being serialized on Weibo. The publishing house plans to publish three volumes, and the first one is currently being prepared, "Depressed Girl: I'm Really a Boring Person".

Chen Yue's joy was not only seen by her family members, but also her colleagues at the school found that she seemed to be in a good mood recently. When drawing, she often giggled while drawing, and hummed ditties from time to time. It's very rare for her with her expression.

Like Mother Chen, most of the colleagues thought she was in a relationship. After all, most of the school's employees were single young men and women, and it was not surprising that an office romance happened.Besides, Principal Shen has made it clear that he does not object to everyone falling in love freely, as long as it does not affect their work.

Facing the gossiping questions from her colleagues, Chen Yue repeatedly denied: "No! How can I ever fall in love! I don't know where my future partner is right now."

"Really not in love?" Feng Feng was a little disbelieving.

Only a person in love can show a smirk like her.

Chen Yue swore firmly: "Absolutely not."

The colleagues finally believed and walked away disappointed.

Chen Yue let out a long breath, patted his chest, and thought with some guilt: Fortunately, he didn't lose his horse at all.

Long before I came to work at Jianghu Martial Arts School, some friends in Huashou circle reminded me that no matter what, I must cover my little vest.If letting your co-workers know that your vest will cause a lot of trouble, most people are kind, but there is no guarantee that there will be a few pink eyes, isn't it?

Therefore, although all colleagues know that Chen Yue draws well, only Shen Qingping in the school knows that she is a well-known painter on Weibo, and even Shen Qingping doesn't know her Weibo account.

From this point of view, Shen Qingping is indeed a good boss who respects the privacy of employees.

Chen Yue posted several covers she designed on Weibo to ask fans for their opinions.

【@喵喵爱指画: Everyone thinks that cover is better [喵喵]]

At the same time, he opened the fan group and put a few cover pictures on it.

At the beginning, everyone was still discussing which cover was better. Suddenly, a fan in the group suddenly posted a link, and went crazy @陈悦.

[Mr. Carrot: Miao Miao, hurry up and check on Weibo, someone picked up and said that your painting has been copied [angry][angry]@喵喵@喵喵@喵喵]

[Mr. Carrot: I'm so mad! ! !Let me tell you that I am very angry now.jpg]

Mr. Carrot is an old fan of Chen Yue. He has been following her for a long time, and has always been very concerned about her news. The two usually communicate like friends.

Chen Yue was taken aback when she saw this news. She knew that Mr. Luobo was soft-tempered, and she hadn't seen her get angry for so long.How much is this to make her so angry.

Chen Yue clicked on the link and browsed quickly.

This is a relatively well-known anti-plagiarism microblog in the circle, and some microblogs plagiarized by artists are often posted.Chen Yue also pays attention to bloggers, but they are all regarded as gossip, but she doesn't want to be "fortunate" to become a party one day.

The general idea of ​​Weibo is that, after receiving reports from fans, saying that a big V who often posts comics has plagiarized the comics posted on Weibo by the artist @喵喵爱painting, and organized the evidence to grow Weibo, see It looks very detailed.

When she saw the Weibo name of the "plagiarist", Chen Yue's expression turned into the word "囧".

The penguins were still ringing crazily, as if seeing her delay in replying, Mr. Carrot poked her privately.

[Mr. Carrot: Did you see meow? 】

[Mr. Carrot: Do you want to contact the other party and delete all the plagiarized paintings immediately? 】

[Mr. Carrot: Plus an apology on Weibo]

[Mr. Carrot: Meow, are you online? ? ? 】

Chen Yue looked at the fans in the fan group who were filled with righteous indignation and discussing countermeasures with a dumbfounded look, calmed down, and opened the dialog box with Mr. Carrot.

She first typed a few lines, thought about it and felt something was wrong, deleted them all, typed a few more words, and then clicked send.

[Meow: Then what, don't comment for now, there is probably some misunderstanding...]

***

When Shen Qingping is free, she likes to log on to the Weibo account of Jianghu Martial Arts School to see what fans have commented on in private messages. When she is interested, she will reply to a few comments, which is considered very close to the people.

Having nothing to do this day, Shen Qingping remembered that he hadn't been on the official Weibo for a long time, so he logged on to Weibo with great interest.

Just after logging in, Weibo immediately crashed.

Shen Qingping "???" Could it be that there is another explosive news on Weibo?Which star cheated or was the hidden marriage discovered?

Curiosity was aroused, and Shen Qingping logged into Weibo again.

This time it didn't flash back again, but the speed was a bit slow.

When the phone finally reacted, Shen Qingping, who saw the screen clearly, was taken aback, and blurted out: "Why are there so many private messages?"

In the message bar, there is a series of unread private messages.

Could it be that Chen Yue was negligent in his duties and never read private messages, which led to the accumulation of so many messages?

Shen Qingping quickly dismissed this idea: Chen Yue has always been serious about her work, and has carefully read every comment, let alone a private letter.

Looking at the time of those private messages, it all happened in these few hours.

Shen Qingping opened a private message casually, and was immediately confused by the content of the private message.

[Plagiarism dogs are shameless! ! ! 】

What the hell?

Shen Qingping frowned, and opened several other private messages.

【Isn't it nice to eat human blood steamed buns?Plagiarism is black forever! 】

[Originally, I had a good impression of your school, but now...forget it, let's see each other [smile]]

[Other painters have worked so hard to draw those paintings, you guys are good, you can take them as soon as you say, and the copies are so open and aboveboard, can you show some face? 】

[Plagiarism Xiao Chen, please give us an explanation! 】

Plagiarism again?Shen Qingping's heart sank, and her eyebrows furrowed.

What the hell is going on here?Shen Qingping clicked on a Weibo of @江湖武术学校, and read it carefully.

After reading it, Shen Qingping quit Weibo with a serious expression, opened the address book, and just found Chen Yue's mobile phone number, the screen of the mobile phone flashed, and someone called in.

It happened to be Chen Yue.

"Hello, Principal Shen? Are you busy? I have something important to report to you!" Chen Yue sounded anxious on the other end of the phone.

Thinking of those comments on Weibo, Shen Qingping's face darkened, and she said, "Go ahead."

Chen Yue said: "Principal, do you still remember the little cartoon you asked me to post on Weibo..."

About a year ago, Shen Qingping caught Chen Yue painting while at work. He thought that Chen Yue seemed to be a well-known painter on Weibo. At the same time, I work part-time as a painter of Jianghu Martial Arts School. From time to time, I draw some small cartoons based on the school's coaches and post them on Weibo, so as to attract more popularity.

Facts have proved that this trick is indeed effective. Because it is based on real people, and the coaches of the school are indeed all beautiful and skilled, Chen Yue's Q-version comics have been welcomed by many fans.

This comic called "Jianghu Martial Arts School Daily" is based on several coaches of the school and describes the daily life of the martial arts school.The stories all happened in real life, such as Huang Rong cooking, Guo Jing accepting disciples and so on.

As for the painter's signature, Chen Yue used a new name in order not to lose his horse: Xiao Chen from the martial arts school.

The drawing style of the cartoon is cute, the plot is relaxed and happy, plus the artist intentionally or unintentionally develops the set characters in a corrupt direction (Shen Qingping: What the hell?!), and Internet celebrities such as Huang Rong, Lu Xiaofeng and Xiaolongnv repost from time to time, and soon It was retweeted and liked by many people.

Because of the comics, Chen Yue was praised by Shen Qingping several times at the school staff meeting. Of course, bonuses and so on are also indispensable.

Not long ago, Xiao Guo, a colleague in charge of outreach affairs, told her that because the comics are very popular on the Internet, some publishers have called to ask if they would like to hand over the copyright to them for publication.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Yue's mood can be said to be very complicated.At that time, "Depressed Girl" had not yet been contacted for publication. I didn't expect that the comics I posted on the Weibo of Jianghu Martial Arts School under the "coercion and temptation" would be taken first. This feeling is really subtle.

Although this cartoon was drawn by Chen Yue, it is based on the daily life of the school and a few coaches as the prototype. It cannot be regarded as the achievement of her alone. Even if she agrees, it is useless, and she has to pass Shen Qingping .

As for Shen Qingping, she was very happy when she heard the news, and immediately agreed to publish it. However, the school was quite busy a while ago, so the signing of the publishing contract was put on hold for the time being. Anyway, the serialization of "Jianghu Martial Arts School Daily" was slow and could not reach the goal. To the point where a collection can be published, there is no rush.

Although the publication matter has not been finalized yet, Shen Qingping asked Chen Yue to intentionally release some words on Weibo, saying that the comic book is likely to be published, so that fans must support it when the time comes.

Knowing that their favorite comics could be published, the fans were very happy, and they all expressed their support for Yunyun at that time, and reposted a wave of comics by the way.

At this time, some sharp-eyed fans noticed that the comic brushstrokes drawn by this "martial arts school Xiaochen" seemed a little subtle, and they were very similar to the style of another painter he paid attention to.

This persistent fan touched the artist's Weibo and compared the cartoons of the two.Through careful comparison, this fan discovered an amazing fact: No matter in terms of painting style or brushwork, the "martial arts school Xiao Chen" seems to be "imitating" that painter in every way.

With the frequent occurrence of vicious plagiarism incidents and the shameless faces of some plagiarists, "plagiarism" has become a very sensitive topic nowadays. It stinks.

Of course, with the growth of the anti-plagiarism team, it is not ruled out that some anti-plagiarism people fish in troubled waters and arbitrarily label themselves to exclude dissidents.But passers-by are not blind. Except for some brainless fans, most people can still calmly analyze evidence such as color palettes to judge whether plagiarism can be established.

Plagiarism is actually a very vague concept, and it is difficult to define its borders.In the literary circle, it is possible to compare characters one by one according to the color palette, and to analyze one stem by one, but in the circle of painters, unless it is an original copy based on a real blueprint, or copying something from other painters. A painting, otherwise it would be difficult to identify whether it is plagiarism.

However, this time the "Martial Arts School Xiao Chen" plagiarism incident is conclusive, because the careful fan discovered that the original artist posted a series of small comics on Weibo more than half a year ago, which seemed to be very similar to "Jianghu Martial Arts School Daily" , the story also takes place in a martial arts school, and the protagonists are also a group of coaches. Even the black-bellied principal wearing glasses in the comics is exactly the same as Xiao Shen, the principal of Jianghu Martial Arts School.

To be honest, if the original artist hadn't uploaded the series of comics long before Jianghu Martial Arts School, fans would have suspected that Jianghu Martial Arts School was actually a victim.

However, the time on Weibo clearly shows that the painter was the earliest creator.

When she saw the long microblog organized by the anti-plagiarism account, Chen Yue was in a daze.

That's right, the "plagiarized" painter is Chen Yue, or more precisely, Chen Yue who is wearing the skin of "Miao Miao loves painting".

When she first arrived at the martial arts school, Chen Yue secretly serialized small cartoons based on the coaches of the martial arts school on her Weibo. At first, she just thought that the coaches were very beautiful, and the daily life of the school could inspire her , I couldn't help but draw it and upload it on Weibo.

But not long after, Shen Qingping "punished" her for creating based on the school as a prototype because she was found fishing at work.With this arduous task, Chen Yue naturally reduced the time for private painting and devoted himself to creating "Jianghu Martial Arts School Daily".

Fortunately, she likes to draw, and she doesn't mind what name it is to send it out. As long as someone likes it, she is very satisfied.

Because the comics based on martial arts schools she posted on Weibo of "Miao Miao Love Painting" were only serialized a few times, not many people saw them, and even she forgot about them after a long time.

Unexpectedly, after a few months, those forgotten comics were dug out from the deep corners, and they were regarded as "plagiarized" poor ghosts.

It would be embarrassing to say something like plagiarizing yourself.
