Chapter 15: Chen Zijiao and His Cartoons

After bidding farewell to Xi Muzhen, Shen Xin visited many bookstores, but did not find "Dreamer". In desperation, Shen Xin could only go to Starbucks first, and wait for Yan Cong to come over.

As soon as he found an empty place to sit down and ordered a cup of coffee, Yan Qu pushed the door in and walked in. After looking around, he found Shen Xin who was sitting in the corner, and walked over quickly.

Yan Fang was sweating profusely, her face was flushed, she was completely different from her usual calm.

She asked for a glass of ice water first, and only after she drank it did she have the strength to speak.

"Sister Yan, have you bought "Monthly Dreamer"?" Shen Xin looked at Yan Fang expectantly.

"No." Yan Yu shook his head, "But a colleague bought it, so I borrowed it and used it first."

Thinking of this, Yan Fang felt angry. She visited two or three nearby bookstores and found that "Dreamer" was sold out. When she returned to the editorial department to complain, she realized that Xiao Li had already bought the magazine in advance. A sense of loss.

"Can I take a look first?" Shen Xin said hastily, "I also went to many bookstores, but I couldn't buy it."

"It seems that the revision of "Dreamer" has been a great success." Yan Yu took out the revised version of "Dreamer" from his satchel, and handed it to Shen Xin.

Shen Xin knew beforehand that Chen Zijiao's comics were on the "front page", so she opened the magazine directly.

The title page is a message for the revision, followed by the table of contents, and then flipping back, it is the cartoon drawn by Chen Zijiao.

""Tumbling"?" Shen Xin blushed when she saw the title of the book.

The name...is so awkward to read.

"I heard that this manga didn't have this name at first, and Chen Zijiao was not satisfied, so he changed it to "Faltering"." Yan Wei explained.

This news was still told by Xiaoli.

"Who is Su Han?" Shen Xin asked in confusion when she saw the name of the original work again.

"She? She's the most marketable reasoning writer, and she's also a beautiful woman. You don't even know?" Yan Qu was surprised.

Shen Xin shook her head, the host is not in the novel circle, unless it is a well-known writer who is well-known to the whole people, the kind who is often in the news, otherwise, I have no impression at all.

"Since she is so famous, why did she agree with Chen Zijiao to change the title of her work?" Shen Xin was still puzzled.

The more famous the author, the more he should care about his own work.

Could it be that Su Han is a good talker?

"Maybe you're too busy?" Yan Yu speculated.

Shen Xin didn't know why, but still lowered her head, her eyes fell on the cover page of this comic again.

"'Dragon Playing Water' is Chen Zijiao's pen name?" Shen Xin's eyelids twitched, this pen name is not too bad, it is comparable to the second grade in "Faltering". To be honest, the style of the pseudonym is far from that of "Water Respecting the Dragon".

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Yan Qu also shook his head, feeling helpless.

From the name, it can be judged that Chen Zijiao's literary attainments are not good.

The cover page of the manga is a young man with long silver hair in a white robe, standing sideways, with his forehead slightly raised, holding the peach blossoms flying in the air with one hand, and putting his back behind his back with the other hand, giving people a feeling of being as graceful as a fairy; and A girl in a blue school uniform bent slightly, holding down the skirt of a short skirt that was about to blow up with the wind, but even so, the skirt behind her was still blown by the wind.

If it is an ordinary painter, there may be nothing special about drawing such a picture, but Chen Zijiao has drawn 18r after all, and his strength has been recognized by Wang Wenhong. It is also full of temptation, with the plump upper body tightly supporting the clothes, while attracting readers, it also makes them curious about the scenery under the skirt.

In addition to the role full of temptation, Chen Zijiao's coloring also surprised Shen Xin.

an excellent cartoonist,

Not necessarily very good at coloring. On Earth, even some manga masters may not be very good at coloring.

But Chen Zijiao's coloring was different.

The two characters are ancient and modern, but the coloring is extremely particular.

The coloring of men and peach blossoms is similar to watercolor, which has a feeling of rendering, but it is not the case for girls, the colors are thicker and more detailed. The highlights of clothes and hair are drawn very finely, and some details, such as the folds of clothes , is also handled properly.

What's even more commendable is that although the two characters have different coloring styles, the color transition is very natural. Shen Xin asked himself, he still can't do this.

"Sister Yan..."

"Um?"

"Isn't Su Han a mystery writer?"

"That's right."

"But this one... doesn't look like a reasoning comic."

No matter from the title of the book or the composition of the cover page, it has nothing to do with reasoning. Judging by his level as a third-rate novelist... This comic is a bit like romance, and it's still the kind of time travel.

"It's really not. As for why she wrote this story, maybe only Su Han knows." Yan Yu explained.

Shen Xin nodded slightly.

The success or failure of a comic depends on the degree to which the story is accepted by readers, which has little to do with the fame of the original work.

Even if a best-selling author cannot write an interesting script, readers will not buy it.

Turn over the cover, and the story told by the comic will be told.

Just as Shen Xin guessed, this story does have a time-travel background, but it is an anti-time-travel. In short, it is a knight from ancient times who has time-traveled to the real world.

In Shen Xin's opinion, this type of story is not very fresh. He has read too much content of this theme, or in other words, the theme of "time travel" has been played badly by online novels. A feeling of "wearing the front and back in a row, and wearing it endlessly".

But the time travel of this world is mainly based on the protagonist traveling to another world, and occasionally a few reverse travels are also crossing from another world to the real world, and it is rare to see the time travel from ancient times to modern times.

The beginning of the story is a duel between two knights. The moment the knight in white robe was stabbed by the long sword, he traveled to the girl's closet. He struggled to come out of the closet, wearing fat ci and underwear, just in time to meet the heroine who had just taken a shower, and the story began.

The male protagonist who has no common sense was shocked when he saw the bright light bulb, thinking that the enemy used internal strength to make the light bulb bright; he was also very surprised when he saw the hair dryer, but he couldn't find the source of the blowing. Internal strength, the bath towel wrapped around the heroine's body was also blown away, giving the readers some "benefits".

"Shaky" is, well... true to its name.

The first chapter of the story was 50 pages long. Shen Xin finished the first chapter without feeling tired at all. Then she raised her head and sighed, with a helpless look on her face.

"How is it?" Yan Yan asked hastily.

"It's an excellent comic, and the cooperation between these two people is perfect." Shen Xin said truthfully.

"The reason?" Yan Yu wanted to know Shen Xin's opinion.

"The conflict between reality and seriousness brought unexpected humor." Shen Xin gave a reply after a little thought.

Yan Yan recalled what Shen Xin said, and couldn't help nodding. Shen Xin pointed out the most attractive part of the story in one sentence.

The pedantic and conservative ancient chivalrous man traveled to the present world, and was confused when faced with technology far beyond his imagination.

The more serious he raises his doubts, the more he can make people laugh. The heroine is also a conservative girl, but she often feels helpless in the face of the male protagonist who doesn't understand anything. Chen Zijiao's talent in drawing nude bodies, and the "violent" image of the heroine in the subsequent divisions are in stark contrast to her conservative personality.

A work that is funny, fleshy, and anticipating at the same time, this kind of work is really hard to stop.

Chen Zijiao... and the author named Su Han, they are indeed very powerful.
