Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 287 Yes, it’s me
Li Yan had a good sleep.

For him, sleeping until 9:30 in the morning is considered indulgence.

It’s twenty days of summer vacation, so do whatever you want.

As for the record, during Li Yan's competition, Xiong Da worked like crazy and came up with seven different versions of the last song, which basically could not be changed anymore.

It is wrong to repeatedly worry about something that is too detailed. That is called the Tao.

When Lin Heng returns to school, he will prepare to officially hand over the record to the Cultural Bureau and get the first wave of official traffic.

At the same time, an online product that he had been paying attention to for two months was finally officially launched - Weibo.

Judging from the locked memory, this thing should not be a short-lived thing.

Its future is not difficult to analyze. It will either replace the invincible penguin and become the new generation of social king.

Or coexist with penguins and exert effects in different social fields.

A QQ space that can be developed for everyone, with strong immediacy, poor privacy, outstanding content, and average private message effect.

However, look at Penguin Games, which has a mechanism of "playing together with QQ friends". Everything it does is successful. If Weibo can become a national website, it is not without a chance to replace Penguin Empire.

And you all have to enter the mobile market eventually.

Thinking of this, Li Yan felt a rare surge of emotion.

It is time to gradually realize his ambition.

As for Weibo... register a few accounts for him first, and take advantage of it, Mr. Li just needs a little fame.

Painting is a matter of inspiration. Since he is in a good state now, he might as well strike while the iron is hot and finish the painting. Let's see if Li Yan will suffer a complete defeat without the bonus of Yang Chengzhang's name.

But it doesn’t matter even if he eats it, he really wants to paint this picture, and when it comes to painting, “wanting to paint” is more important than anything else.

Then let’s draw!

Of course it was impossible for Wei Yunzhi to go to the bookstore to study every day. As a little girl in junior high school, her activities were very limited.

What she told Ouyang Wantang was that she discussed study activities with "excellent classmates" twice a week in the bookstore. As for who these "excellent classmates" were, Wantang didn't ask and Wei Yunzhi didn't say either.

Cao Xinshuo was very surprised when Li Yan appeared in the studio.

"Isn't it summer vacation now?" In the summer, the cartoonist still insisted on wearing his favorite beret.

"I trained for the Youth Information Olympics national competition in July, and just came back from the national competition in early August."

"You participated in the competition? You are really an excellent student," Cao Xinshuo smiled, and his small eyes narrowed so that they could not be seen. "How did you feel about the exam?"

“No. 1 in the country.”

Cao Xinshuo is an art student and has no idea what a top student is. When he suddenly heard that someone was ranked first in the country, he didn’t know what to say for a long time.

"Has the master been here recently?" Li Yan had no intention of pretending.

"He came two or three times. He thought you went home." Cao Xinshuo tied his long hair into a small braid and looked a little tired. "He mainly came to check on the progress of my comics."

"I just wanted to ask what you are busy with, brother."

"Don't call me Senior Brother," Cao Xinshuo waved his hands repeatedly, "Teacher Yang didn't formally accept me as his disciple."

"Then I'll call you Teacher Cao."

"Don't, don't, don't..."

"Even if we don't consider age or seniority, you are much more professional than me when it comes to comics. You deserve the title of 'teacher'."

Cao Xinshuo heard what was going on and pushed open the door of his studio. "Are you interested in comics?"

“I’ve always been interested.”

"Then come in."

As soon as you enter the door, the most eye-catching thing is a large row of bookcases filled with sets of various comic books.

There is also a transparent glass cabinet on the other side, which contains dozens of... models?
"These are action figures, all of which are my favorite comic book characters."

Li Yan saw some classic anime characters, a row of cool mechas, and five rows of sexy female characters in different postures.

He didn't recognize it very well because some of the characters' postures were really hard to describe.

The kind that you can’t see after you write this chapter.

In order to prevent cartoonist Cao from feeling any psychological pressure, the underage Li Yan could only suppress the desire to observe carefully and shift his attention to the bookshelf.

“Are these the books you use for reference?”

"No, most of them are for collection." Cao Xinshuo took a wrinkled book from the top, "If you really want to use it for reference and study, seven or eight books are enough. It's not good to learn too many things." He walked to the workbench and pointed at the several plain dolls on the table, "They are the main ones for reference."

"There is also a computer? Is this... a drawing tablet?" Li Yan was very curious about the contents of this studio.

"Yes, I'm learning digital painting," Cao Xinshuo nodded, "Let's see if there's any place where I can publish my work."

“Weibo.”

"Oh...you mean the most recent one? Maybe."

Cartoonist Cao looked distressed and slightly absent-minded.

He introduced the comic drawing process to Li Yan and demonstrated various types of halftone papers. This should have been a proud and pretentious scene, but it made him feel depressed.

Judging from the blank papers on his desk and the piles of unused manuscripts in the wastebasket, he must have run into a period of lack of inspiration.

"Teacher Cao, what work are you painting recently?"

"Oh." Cao Xinshuo pursed his lips and shook his head.

Knew it……

"I've seen Mr. Cao's works before. His style is very beautiful, and he seems to be good at ancient style?"

"I guess so. I used to draw short stories, but I'm tired of them recently. I want to try a long story, but I really don't have the ability to write a long story." Cao Xinshuo laughed bitterly, "The good stories are all other people's. If I want to draw for others, they may not be willing to do so."

“Do you have a favorite story?”

"There are many. For example, there is a recent online novel called "Nangong Youth". It is quite popular in the online literature circle. I think it is very suitable."

Why do I want to be an omnipotent god of war? Just for this fucking moment!

"Oh? What do you say?"

"The plot is exciting, the dialogue is great, it's set in ancient times, and the characters are pretty good. It's my comfort zone." Cao Xinshuo stroked his hair, "I just don't know if this author will end the story badly."

"No." Li Yan replied with a smile.

"Hey, do you also read online novels? I thought a kid like you who is very good at reading wouldn't read them. Well, actually I was just worrying about nothing. I can't come up with such a story myself, but I'm worried that others won't have a good ending."

"Have you ever thought about contacting the author to discuss the comic adaptation?"

"I did notice that I could contact the editor..." Cao Xinshuo sighed again, "But this novel is very popular right now, and the adapted work might cost a lot of copyright fees. And after all, it's not finished yet, so it might be better to find a finished version."

"As long as the author is happy, there is no need to pay copyright fees."

Cao Xinshuo was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "How is that possible? Besides, the author has signed a contract with Qiyuan, so perhaps part of the copyright is still in Qiyuan's hands."

"No, the contract I signed is one that gives full rights to the author."

"How do you know? Where can I see it?"

"I signed it. Of course I know."

……

Cao Xinshuo had no way of telling whether this statement was true or not, mainly because he couldn't think of any reason why such an outstanding person like Li Yan would lie to him.

And if I hadn't lied to him...

What the hell?

"I wrote Nangong Youth. The contract I signed at the beginning stipulated that I had all the copyrights. No one thought that this book would become popular, except for me and the editor."

Cao Xinshuo gradually became stunned.

"I can assure you that this story will not have a bad ending. If you are willing, you can draw this story." Li Yan was very serious. "No copyright fee is required, but you have to meet some of my requirements."

The long-haired cartoonist no longer knew how to react.

"One, teach me how to draw comics, we can create comics together and sign our names together in the comic author column. Two, post it on the Weibo platform."

"what……"

“The free content is enough for you to draw for a while, and you can switch to publishing physical books later.”

Cao Xinshuo finally woke up from his dream, "Wait, wait, are you serious?"

Li Yan directly logged into the author's backend on the computer, "What do you think?"

"Teacher Yang seems to have accepted a very remarkable disciple..."

Cao Xinshuo took off his hat in salute.
