Cartoonist's Dream

He finally figured it out, although Wang Bingyu was aggressive when talking and seemed to have the right to speak, in fact, the boss Lu Lingling who was fooling around was the one in charge, and the final decision was in her hands alone.

No matter how she chooses, Li Mu has already thought of a countermeasure, anyway, a page of comics cannot be drawn with a wave of hands.If Lu Lingling chooses to let herself draw comics, then relying on her familiarity with wishing comics and the 10% modified passive skill, she can draw a few line drafts at the speed of the assembly line to communicate with them.If he wanted to verify his drawing skills, he showed his pseudo-master-level sketching skills to the fullest with the help of two models, Lu Wei and Lu Hui.

"Manga!" Lu Lingling made a final decision.

Since it is a comic company, the assessment is of course comic skills, and other members feel the same way.

For this reason, Li Mu naturally drew on the 4 paper——line draft. [

He draws line drafts very fast, without the need for filling colors and pasting paper. In theory, with 10% trimming, he can save at least one-tenth of the time compared with ordinary cartoonists when drawing line drafts.But in fact, many wrong strokes are tolerable lines, so if you don't pay too much attention to it, Limu's line drawing speed seems to be faster.

"It's so fast! Is this an assembly line production?" Lu Lingling praised.

Li Mu didn't intend to use a dip pen to trace the outline at all, and he didn't seem to want to finish a page of manga, but skipped this page of line draft and drew another page of line draft.As a result, it took less than a cup of tea to draw a [-]-page line draft. The characters, expressions and scenes on it are enough to tell the story it wants to express clearly.

Although Li Mu showed the talent he wanted to show, he drew a line in a grid for the sake of plenty of time.Surprisingly skip the application of dot paper, use the sketching method no less than sticking dot paper, fill the picture with only lines into a full manga, just scan it and it can be used for printing!

Even a real person can draw a sketch like a photo, which is a breeze for "photographing" a cartoon on another paper.Of course, no matter how fast and realistic the sketch is, it is still not as convenient as sticking dotted paper.Even ordinary people who know nothing about drawing can do the work of sticking dotted paper. There is no need to waste the energy of cartoonists to make sketches one by one.

However, the production process of this cartoon still makes them feel fresh and new.

"Wow, I drew it directly!" Ryoko was surprised.

"Wesome!" Elisabelle praised without hesitation.

"No dot paper is needed—it's like a magician on the tip of a pen!" Lu Lingling commented.

He can imitate dot paper with his own hands, which means that even if he lacks a certain style of dot paper, this little cartoonist can "make" the effect he wants.The lack of a certain tool is often the biggest obstacle to the development of human imagination, and Li Mu, a young manga artist, has clearly overcome this obstacle.

More importantly, Li Mu has been drawing manga since middle school. Although there are some interruptions in the middle, he has been persisting. The age of intermittent manga is more than ten years, plus this month's adaptation to the strength of his arms.Therefore, what he showed in front of Lu Lingling was not a novice manga artist, but a seasoned manga artist far beyond his age!

"That's it, we'll sign with you." Lu Lingling patted Hei Changzhi, who was taller than her, and said:

"Well, don't frown, well, although revising the contract is a heavy job, I can only ask you, sister Bing Yu."

Wang Bingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she wasn't depressed because of the workload.To be honest, from the establishment of the publishing house to the present, almost 70% of the work is on her, and changing the contract is not considered onerous at all.

She just felt that if the president cooperated just now, the original contract would definitely be signed, and she probably would be called down by the little boy before reaching the stairs.If there is no call, it can be placed on another day. The company gives such a generous manuscript fee and share, I am not afraid that he will choose other companies to sign the contract.At the latest, he will wait for him to hit the south wall in Dongman and Mantianxia and suffer a loss, and he will definitely go back and sign with his company at that time.

Fortunately, 20% of the profit of a manga with great potential is directly given away, and the company can't afford it!The president of the secret channel really doesn't worry about anything...

"Liangzi, go and help Bing Yu." Lu Lingling told the hard-working Liangzi.She didn't seem to want to delay the signing until tomorrow, and urged the members to print out the revised contract as soon as possible.

"Yes, Mr. Limu, please wait a moment." Liangzi stood up and said respectfully, and then followed Wang Bingyu to revise the contract.

...[

"I don't know what the president's ideal is, what's the plan for the future?" Li Mu took advantage of the time waiting for the contract, and began to consciously inquire about the details of Shangguo Publishing House, hoping to hear about the five-year plan and ten-year plan. .

"Ideal? Well, if you want to talk about ideals, I want to establish the largest comic publishing house in the world!" President Shangguo stretched out his hand and tried his best to draw a circle bigger than the school globe, covering the entire world. are all included.

"Oh, the goal is very ambitious! Then you must have a good plan. How many new magazines do you plan to create next year? How many new employees will you recruit? How much sales do you plan to achieve?" Seeing the courage of the other party, Li Mu asked directly.

A puzzled expression appeared on Lu Lingling's face: "Isn't four people enough?" She muttered.

"I'll fall!" Li Mu really pretended to fall, and the chair was crumbling by him.

"Don't worry, we have Bingyu here." The president said irresponsibly.

"Hmm." Li Mu stared at her for a while, "You guys really started a company, don't you plan to close down within half a year?"

"Well, with Bing Yu, Elisabel and you here, it shouldn't be possible..." President Lu Lingling asked Li Mu in an anxious tone instead.

"..." Even himself was counted, and it seemed that he was suddenly entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Li Mu felt that he had a long way to go.

……

It was such a strange company. Limu thought that signing the contract would have to wait until night, but he did not expect that Wang Bingyu was so efficient in handling affairs, and took Liangzi to complete the new contract in half an hour.It's hard to imagine how they found a printing shop in this unfamiliar place, but their efficiency made Limu feel a little relieved.

After getting the contract, Li Mu read it carefully

[Shangguo Publishing House Writer Signing Contract Party A: _______Party B...]

Because it is a veritable "deed of sale", you must read every word on it clearly, and sometimes a single sentence can determine a person's lifelong destiny.What impressed Limu the most was the village committee of Pingnan Village. The village official of this village signed a contract with a developer on the demolition and resettlement land. Unfortunately, because he did not see certain terms clearly, the whole village not only did not pay dividends at the end of the year, but also owed 2000 million foreign debts.

After the demolition, Pingnan Village was jokingly called "the first poor village in Nanhua".For the rich villages where one person in other villages can get [-] to [-] dividends a year, and a family can get [-] dividends.Those villages that developed relatively poorly at the beginning can be said to be extremely prosperous, laughing and feng shui taking turns.

In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening to him, Li Mu checked back and forth on the deed of prostitution that stipulated that he would be sold for the next ten years, and finally signed it after finding that there were no loopholes.

"Happy cooperation!" Li Mu took a sip of the tea in the cup, narrowed his sour eyes slightly, and reached out to shake Lu Lingling's hand.

"Happy cooperation." Lu Lingling was stunned at the beginning, she didn't expect Li Mu's handling style to be so like a skilled business person.

However, Limu's signature alone was useless. As a primary school student without civil rights, the contract would not take effect until his parents came back at night to sign and agree.

That night, Li Mu's parents were taken to a restaurant.

Although Li Xiuli heard about the whole story when she drove downstairs to her house, she was still shocked to see the manga manuscript fee purchased under the contract of 80 yuan\page.Feelings As long as her son completes a one-page comic, it is equivalent to her driving for a whole day!Drawing two or three pages a day is equivalent to two or three days of her income!

"My God! How much money do you have to make this month!" [

However, the most important reason for her to agree to sign is actually this clause in the contract: [If Mr. Limu is willing to continue to renew the contract after he becomes an adult, the company must help him purchase five insurances and one housing fund in accordance with the provisions of the Chinese Labor Law. 】

Li's father, Li Jiahui, didn't care too much. He didn't always get hundreds of thousands of money from gambling, and the amount of money flowing in and out of his hands every day was so much. A piece of cake.I never feel that when I gamble, I only earn a little in a month. In fact, most of the family's living expenses are paid in advance by my wife, so it is very optional for Li's father to sign or not.

"Son, drawing that manga won't affect your studies, right?" Li Xiuli finally confirmed.

"No, no, don't worry, drawing manga is a hundred times easier than drawing the artist's picture last time." Li Mu said carelessly, but exaggeratedly.

Does not affect learning!

Still make money!

And help buy five social insurance and one housing fund!

Li Xiuli's eyes widened, what was she trying to raise a son for!Don't plan for him to take care of the elderly, just plan for him to grow up to be able to make money and support himself for a day!

"Signed!" Li Xiuli didn't expect this day to come so soon. Her son has already achieved half of her wish, and the rest is just a matter of marrying a wife and having a baby.

...But I'm afraid it will take a long time.
