Chapter 37 Fiery
In the middle of the night, Zhao Qinyin returned home after finishing work.
Her family lives in an old community in the east of the city. It is about a 20-minute drive from Chu Yu's house. Thanks to Chu Yu's speed in drawing comics, she usually goes to Chu Yu's house after school, and leaves around ten o'clock in the evening. Last weekend, with the joint efforts of the two of them, the comics on Mondays were basically completed with high quality and quantity, and it was basically around eleven o'clock when I got home every night.
Her life may be boring and boring in the eyes of ordinary people, taking classes during the day, working as a comic assistant at night, and then resting.
However, in Zhao Qinyin's opinion, except for the first few days when he met Chu Yu, he was a little uncomfortable, but after getting along for a while, he unexpectedly got along very well with Chu Yu.
Moreover, the comics that the two completed together were even serialized in journals like Manying. Not long after the serialization, Chu Yu proposed the slogan that he wanted to reach the top, and this slogan seems to be not impossible now.
Although she is not the author of Rurouni Kenshin Memoirs, she is already very happy that the comics she participated in can achieve such results, and the frustration that her submissions for her works have been rejected in the past has mostly disappeared.
She took out the key and opened the door.
It was different from the dark room in the imagination. On weekdays, my grandmother had already slept during this time, but today it was a little abnormal. Zhao Qinyin entered the room and found her grandma was watching TV listlessly. There are also family photos of her parents and grandfather when they were still around.
"Grandma, why haven't you slept yet?" Zhao Qinyin asked.
"I can't sleep, I think of your father and your grandfather." Zhao Qinyin's grandmother, Wu Zhen, was in her 70s. She was a little short and had a hunched back.
"Hey, why do you think your father is doing this kind of thing? If he didn't want to draw those crazy comics, he wouldn't submit it to Shanghai, and no one would call him to go to Shanghai. Your mother won't have an accident on the road, and your grandfather won't be too angry, either."
"Oh, forget it, let's not talk about that, it's been so many years."
"By the way, how was your class today?"
"It's okay, everything is going well." Zhao Qinyin tilted her head slightly.
"You're already in the third year of high school!" Wu Zhen exclaimed.
"That kind of thing of being a make-up teacher for poor students in other schools, or don't do it. You are now in the critical period of senior three, and you have no time to take care of others."
"Although our family is not a wealthy family, it's not bad enough to give people the money for supplementary classes. It's serious business if you take a good college entrance examination. If you come back so late every day, I'm afraid you don't have enough sleep!"
"No, it doesn't matter, grandma, giving supplementary lessons to others is a kind of review. It's better than reading books by yourself. Look, although I have been doing this part-time job for so long, my grades have not fallen behind. The exam has never dropped to second place!"
"Is it really helpful for people to make up lessons? Really?" Wu Zhen asked with some doubts.
"I told you, you have to catch your grades, but you can't learn from your father, he, he was poor at the beginning, and he was obsessed with comics in high school, so after high school, he went to a teacher to learn that stuff. for many years."
"After I finished my studies, I painted those things at home for three years without any income. Later, a comic book company was willing to publish his works. After I got my income, I met your mother. Speaking of which, your mother was also drawn by your father at the beginning. Please come to our house to be his comic assistant, the two have been together for a long time, and with the emotional foundation, this is how you came to be."
"Your parents have been involved in comics for half their lives. Your father also said that he would go to Modu or even RB to become a comic artist in the future."
"That's good, the devil has not gone away, and the people will be gone on the road." Speaking of this, Wu Zhen's tone became excited.
"Speaking of which, if your father didn't come into contact with those comics when he was in school, he would have studied hard, and he wouldn't have dropped out of high school, and he should still be there now."
"Fortunately, you are different from your father. You are much smarter than him and have good grades. Grandma, I just want to see you get into a good university, choose a good major, and marry a good family. , it is also right for your father, your mother, and your grandfather."
Zhao Qinyin has heard Wu Zhen say these words many times.
She also knew very well how much Wu Zhen hated the comics industry, and she had always thought that her father's death was related to his choice of the wrong industry.
When his father was still alive, he blamed his father's unhappy life on the comics, and after his death, he thought it was a misfortune caused by choosing the wrong profession.
It is difficult to convince people to get into the horns. Over the years, Zhao Qinyin has not been able to let Wu Zhen put down her prejudice against comics.
Because of this, Zhao Qinyin has been hiding from Wu Zhen for a long time, whether it is comic creation or acting as an assistant to other cartoonists. Fortunately, her performance has always been in the first place. The income was okay, and Wu Zhen agreed to her "make-up" career.
But how long can you deceive in such a situation?
For a lifetime?
Zhao Qinyin also felt confused.
The two chatted for a while, and it was late, and they both fell asleep one after another.
Back in the room, Zhao Qinyin looked at the snowflakes falling outside the glass window.
Thinking of how she had been cheating on her grandma all the time, a sigh sounded.
After all, she is still her father's daughter. The father and daughter may have different personalities, but they are surprisingly similar in terms of interests and hobbies.
In Los Angeles in December, the temperature plummeted, and the snow in the sky has basically not stopped since it started to fall.
But unlike this cold weather, the Rurouni Kenshin Memoirs reacted to the Los Angeles comic book market.
Since the first episode was only ranked eleventh in the voting on Manying, the second episode has jumped to fourth, and the number of votes has reached 14,000 votes.
Since then, although there have been as many as twenty serial comics on Manying, in fact, the results of most works can only be said to be tepid. In fact, the entire Cuttlefish Manga Club is watching Manying. of four comics.
The magic realm of Shen Xin, a veteran author of Cuttlefish Comics, and the Tianshu of Wang He.
The secret girl of Dong Yun, the top cartoonist of the original Fengyu, who jumped to the cuttlefish.
And the rookie cartoonist, Shui Xin, who has never appeared in front of everyone, only his editor Su Yan is responsible for contacting with him.
Throughout the comics industry in Los Angeles, Shui Xin and his work Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance have become more and more famous, and in the third chapter of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, a new chapter of Lost Cat is opened.
After the amazing encounter between the two in the second episode, the screen in the third episode changed. The woman who met Jian Xin in the rain fainted and was taken to the place where he lived by Jian Xin.
Kenshin also learned the woman's name.
Shedaba!
The following plot seems to be a little dull, just some of the daily life and memories of the characters Gui, Kenshin and Shedaiba in the comics, compared to the fight scene between Kenshin and the enemy in the rainy night in the previous chapter and the encounter with Shedaiba at the end The stunning, undoubtedly the level of excitement has dropped a lot.
It also seemed a little disappointing to many readers who had been looking forward to it all week, writing letters and commenting on the website to encourage the author to draw more fight scenes.
But despite this, the number of votes for the third chapter still rose sharply, from more than 14,000 votes in the previous issue to more than 19,000 votes in this issue.
This surprised some people in Cuttlefish who thought that the second episode of this work was just a flash in the pan.
Now, basically, most people in the entire Los Angeles comics industry already understand.
Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance is really a dark horse.
It has entered the comics market in Los Angeles with lightning speed in this cold winter, and it has become the top comics of the three major comic journals in Los Angeles with only three serials.
Moreover, although it is only temporarily ranked fourth in the number of votes, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the popularity of this work is on the rise. At least, the author of Tianshu, who has now dropped to the third place in the ranking The crane has already felt the coolness of the chrysanthemum
