Chapter 1054

"Okay. Your new book can be corrected in three days at the latest, and the typesetting and initial printing preparations can be completed in a week at most... By the way, do you have arrangements for novel illustrations? If not, my side I can contact you with a senior illustrator to draw illustrations for your novel." Machida Yuanzi said to his nephew Qin Heqing while putting away the literary work publishing authorization contract signed by Qin Heqing.

"I've thought about it, I'm going to come by myself." Qin Heqing said.

"You come by yourself? When did you learn to draw again?" Machida Sonoko asked in surprise.

"Who said that if you don't know how to draw, you can't draw illustrations?" Qin Heqing asked amusedly.

"Then how are you going to draw?" Machida Sonoko asked curiously.

"Draw like this." As he said, Qin Heqing pulled an unused A4 document paper from the side, and raised his hand to touch his forehead, and then pressed it on the A4 document paper. The look was lifelike, like a photo of a real person Machida Sonoko’s paintings appeared in the eyes of Machida Eriko, a newcomer editor who was helping, learning, and trying to integrate along the way.

Immediately, Riko Akashi was stunned, with an incredible expression on his face.

"Spell?" Machida Sonoko, who knew how powerful her nephew was, asked strangely.

The reason is very simple, just because she never thought that magic can be used to do this kind of thing.

Even if the specifications do not meet the printing and illustration requirements, it is not impossible to consider it as a cover.

"En." Qin Heqing nodded in affirmation.

"However, the illustrations of novels can't use such a high-quality picture quality, not to mention it is not conducive to cost control. You can't directly increase the selling price of the entire novel just for a few illustrations that are comparable to real-life photos." Sonoko Machida With a wry smile.

The library factory that can even print photo magazines does not care whether the illustrations it provides are real photos or two-dimensional comics, as long as it is a flat image, it can print.

But the cost...

"Then it's better to downgrade."

"Downgrade?" Machida Sonoko asked doubtfully.

Qin Heqing didn't say anything to explain, but directly took another piece of A4 paper, picked up the signature pen on the table, and began to write and draw on the A4 paper...

And soon, a similar image outline and character composition were outlined on the paper.

"Since the quality can be reduced, why not just create formal illustration images from the beginning." Machida Sonoko wondered.

"Because I don't have the memory of the relevant elements." Qin Heqing smiled wryly.

He had never seen a similar two-dimensional composition, so he couldn't use the way of reading and writing to directly present the memory in his mind on paper for reproduction.

"What about these?" Machida Sonoko asked strangely.

Since you don't have the impression and memory of the two-dimensional illustration, where is the source of the picture on this paper? !

It can't be that you have actually seen this kind of person.

"That's the protagonist of the novel himself."

"Huh?! You said she is Imagawa Yoshimoto?!" Machida Sonoko said in shock.

Even Riko Akashi, who had just barely digested the news that Editor Shimo Machida's nephew knew spells, couldn't help but feel excited again, and looked at Qin Heqing with strange eyes and a little bit of inconceivability.

——Could it be that Editor Machida's nephew has a brain problem? !

Otherwise, how could Imagawa Yoshimoto be considered a woman, and such a beautiful young woman.

Has history been eaten by him?

Qin Heqing nodded, and then said seriously, "To be specific, I'll tell you when you get off work at night."

"Okay. If I didn't know that you have no problem with your brain, I would have to think about it now. Is it because you are stupid when you write a book, and you regard the characters in the story as real people, and consider the way to get along with you? What?" Machida Sonoko looked at him for a while, nodded and sighed.

Obviously, some couldn't accept the fact that the fat man in history actually turned out to be such a young and beautiful girl. The three views were somewhat affected.

"Then you should get out the content of the illustrations as soon as possible, so that I can add them in while the printing department is typesetting, and I can also print your novel as soon as possible and put it on the shelves for sale."

"I see, I'll give them to you in a few days." After a pause, he asked again, "Yes, how many do you want?"

"It depends on your arrangement, but at least six and no more than ten, otherwise it will have a certain impact on the continuity of the work. Also, it is best to find the key nodes of the key events of the key figures. Paintings, such as your current volume, the expression of the protagonist and Imagawa Yoshimoto when they first met, or the appearance of Imagawa Yoshimoto when he first appeared on the stage, can be described by an illustration." Machida Sonoko introduced with his own experience road.

In this regard, Qin Heqing also studied humbly, and understood how to draw illustrations and where to put them, and then Qin Heqing was sent out by Machida Sonoko——

Anyway, the rest of the work—whether it is correction, typesetting, review, liaison, or publicity before sale—is the work of Immortal Chuan Shuku, or Machida Sonoko. In addition, she is not Qin Heqing's guardian, and she can make certain authorizations and arrangements without notifying Qin Heqing if necessary, so there is no need for Qin Heqing to stay in the company to block eyes.

Not much use.

...

So two more days passed...

"The director said he wanted to see you." As usual, Akatsuki Mado, who was by Qin Heqing's side during the day, suddenly spoke to report.

"See me? What are you doing?" Qin Heqing listened to the movement of the painting in his hand, looked up at Mado Akatsuki and asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Mado Akira shook his head.

She is just a low-level intelligence officer, how can she know what the chief of the bureau is thinking?

"When and where." Qin Heqing was not surprised, but once again focused his attention on the drawing paper in front of him.

"The director said that if you don't object, you can do it tonight, at the headquarters building." Mado Akira replied without a pause.

"Then tonight. Remember to remind me then." Qin Heqing agreed after thinking for a while without refusing.

"OK."

Then Mado Akira calmed down knowingly, and stayed on the sidelines to process all kinds of information fed back from the countermeasure bureau to determine which ones Qin and Qing might need to deal with, and which ones were unnecessary for him to know and would waste his time. , quiet and rhythmic, he is a qualified tool man...

Then, time passed, and time came to night again in this rhythm.

"Qin Jun, it's almost time, it's time to leave." Akatsuki Mado reminded Qin Heqing, who was still bending over the desk and drawing illustrations.

"Okay, let's go." Qin Heqing stopped writing, looked at the time, got up and put away his things.

Then the two went out, boarded a helicopter that had become less and less used since they got on track, and flew towards the headquarters building of the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Bureau in Chiyoda Ward.
