Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 180
"In the afternoon, I brought the first two volumes of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". You try to draw a picture first, and I will take a look. If it works, you can continue to draw; if not, let's discuss it and see what form it will be It's better to draw."

Du Jinning must open the bookstore, even if Guan Jiaze and the others are unwilling to cooperate, she still wants to open it by herself.So Xu Chengyuan needs to make early preparations here.

"Okay." Xu Chengyuan only felt that his whole body was full of energy.

The brothers settled the accounts clearly, and before starting to paint, Du Jinning felt that he should clarify the matter of money: "What form do you plan to get paid?"

Xu Chengyuan said: "Let's just pay five taels of silver for a volume."

Du Jinning understood very well: "Success."

The Xu family is still in debt, so it is better to take cash.It is uncertain whether this villain book will sell well. Even if it sells well, it will definitely not make much money at the beginning. After all, this is a new thing, and it takes a process for people to accept it.If Xu Chengyuan took the commission, it would not be able to quench his near thirst.

Xu Chengyuan hesitated for a moment, and said, "Is five liang of silver too much? Or, three liang of silver will do."

This is an honest man!Du Jinning sighed, and said: "Not much, a picture book needs to draw at least [-] pages, and it takes a lot of effort."

"Then let's draw and see. If it's easy, you can give me a few taels."

Speaking of this, he said with some embarrassment: "I'm still not very suitable for writing scripts. The reason why my previous script can be written and sold is all due to you. The whole story is based on your "Unlucky Man" I wrote it based on the idea of ​​"A Coincidence in Dongting Red"; the plot of the story was changed by you. Now I am at home on vacation and have nothing to do. I planned to write another book and sell it, but after much deliberation, I couldn't think of any good stories. Come."

As he spoke, he asked Du Jinning: "How did you come up with the background and plot of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"

Du Jinning was dumbfounded.

She didn't come up with that story, she was a shameful porter who secretly moved people's stories to sell.

However, in her previous life, she was an online essay writer. Although she wrote routine essays, she still had some experience in writing essays.

She said: "I think you have heard of storytelling, right? Isn't this the source of inspiration for all kinds of stories about heroes? At the same time, the stories come from life and are higher than life. Sometimes you listen to the stories of parents in the streets and alleys, After finishing it, it will be a good story.”

Xu Chengyuan's eyes sparkled at what she said, and he wished he could collect stories now.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go back." Du Jinning stood up.

She seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked: "By the way, you are almost full this year, right? Is my aunt going to propose a marriage for you? Did you mention any girl?"

Xu Chengyuan was in high spirits when he was suddenly taken aback by her unreasonable question, his face, which had become unusually rosy because of excitement, suddenly turned pale.

He wanted to pretend that he didn't care, and said a few words, but suddenly found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound.

After a long time, he lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "No discussion, the family debt has not been paid off, I don't want to drag other girls down, and I won't meet for a couple of years. After the debt is paid off, the life of the family will be better talk later."

After saying this, he regretted in his heart that he shouldn't have proposed marriage to the Du family at this time.

He didn't know whether the Du family refused the marriage because his family was still in debt and life was difficult, or there were other considerations.But they were being chased by debtors like them, and they even went to discuss marriage, it was obvious that they didn't value their girls enough.

But his mother said, Du Fangfei is about to be 16 years old, and he is also 17 years old. Even if they don't get married, they should make a marriage.Du Fangfei is good-looking, and Du Jinning looks promising, and some people remember the Du family.If someone gets ahead of you, it will be too late to regret.They hurriedly went to Du's house to mention this matter.

Who knew that the Du family still didn't like him.

Thinking of this, he felt very uncomfortable.

When Du Jinning asked this question, the more he got in touch with Xu's mother and son, the more he felt that they were a good family for Du Fangfei.Both mother and son have a conscience, which is very important. Xu Chengyuan will at least not abandon his poor wife when he has fame in the future; It can make the family live well, which is very good.

Du Fangfei said that he would not consider marriage within a year, and if Xu Chengyuan did not discuss marriage within a year, maybe the two of them could sit down again to discuss marriage after that year.

Now with Xu Chengyuan's words, she felt much more at ease.

On the second day, Du Jinning brought "Legend of the Condor Heroes" and came to discuss with Xu Chengyuan how to draw the comic book.

Xu Chengyuan had read Guan Jiaze's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" before, and he had a certain impression of the plot. After Du Jinning let him read it again, the two discussed where to go for a painting, and what to paint on the screen. What, how to compose the picture, what the characters look like.

Du Jinning came from a generation with rich film and television works, and he was also very impressed with Huang Rihua's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Naturally, he is stronger than Xu Chengyuan in terms of picture imagination.In the end, she simply said that Xu Chengyuan took a pen and made a sketch beside him.

"Uh, that's not right." Du Jinning realized that this approach was inappropriate, and quickly stopped, "I can't design every book for you, after all, I still have my own things to do, and the teahouse is waiting for my book Let’s talk. In this way, I’ve said so much just now, you should think about it carefully and draw the following content. Show it to me after the drawing is finished. If I think it’s wrong, you can change it. You can do it like this no?"

Xu Chengyuan was quite embarrassed when she said that, so he nodded quickly and said: "Okay, okay, I understand what you just said, and I know how to draw this little book..." He paused for a while, puzzled He raised his eyes nervously, "Junior Brother Du, why is it called a little book? Our album is not for little people, is it? It's all for old men."

Du Jinning laughed: "I just called it casually." She touched her nose, "Then it's called Comics."

Xiaorenshu is a folk name. In fact, they have an official name called comic book.Since Du Jinning moved this thing to ancient times, it is natural to inherit the name along with it.

Xu Chengyuan nodded in agreement and said: "It's better to call it a comic book, but it's not a picture with a continuous plot?" He continued the previous topic and said, "I already know how to draw this comic book. After I think about it, I will draw this book and then draw it. Show it to you, if it doesn’t work, change it.”

"If these scriptures are leaked and there are copies everywhere, I won't make any money when I open the bookstore. So you have to keep it safe, don't show it to others, and don't lose it." Du Jinning told him again, and he agreed , Only then can I go home in peace.
