Chapter 124 Release

Join

the comics club?

Xia Yan is interested in comics?

Song Lingjun was stunned.

But she reacted immediately.

This is unlikely.

There are several types of two-dimensional works, novels, animations, games, and comics.

To be honest, the lowest threshold is novels, which can be written by anyone who knows how to read.

As for comics, this is not something that can be quickly mastered in one or two months.

Excellent cartoonists have gone through four or five years or even longer painting practice, mastered a lot of comic composition and storyboard knowledge, and the comics he draws can be considered readable.

But Xia Yan said last night that he wanted to make animations and wanted to learn some knowledge of painting and music to pave the way for animation storyboards, script writing and other work.

Although comics are different from animations, some things are still connected. For example, many of the animation scenes of Dragon Ball in the parallel world are directly copied from comic storyboards.

Because the author of Dragon Ball is a well-known professional in the industry in this area, and he is really good at drawing.

Song Lingjun is very smart. As soon as he saw Xia Yan's expression, he knew what he was thinking.

Without the conversation between Song Lingjun and him last night, Xia Yan might not have any interest in Mo Ran. Xia Yan is not interested in making friends.

But now. Joining the comics club, becoming a disciple of the comics club president, Mo Ran, who is proficient in piano playing, and learning some painting and music knowledge should be the idea that Xia Yan has in mind at this moment.

"Really?" Mo Ran heard it, and her joy was all over her face.

Although she is a fan of Xia Yan's novels, she is not very interested in writing novels.

She prefers comics and animations.

"That's for sure." Xia Yan smiled.

"After all, the senior sister invited me so enthusiastically at the beginning, I will definitely not forget this kind of thing."

"In that case, don't waste time, come with me to the activity room of the comics club and fill out the application for joining the club." Mo Ran's eyes turned, thinking that he had successfully fooled Xia Yan and said hurriedly.

Xia Yan paused for a moment, but didn't think too much.

These clubs in the university are very free. You can join club activities if you want to. No one forces you not to join.

You just join a club. If things don't go well, just quit.

Xia Yan signaled Song Lingjun with his eyes, and then, at Mo Ran's invitation, he and her went to the activity room of the comics club to visit.

As they walked, Xia Yan also chatted with Mo Ran to learn about the information of this club.

The comics club of Magic City University had four members until last year.

But this year, because two of the other three members were seniors and one graduate student graduated,

Mo Ran became the only member and president of this club.

Xia Yan was suddenly confused when he heard this.

"Then according to the school regulations, isn't it mandatory for a school club to be cancelled if it has less than five members? There were four members last year, but only one this year, so how come the club is still there?"

"But the school also stipulates that if the club's activities are excellent and have achieved certain results, even if the number of members is insufficient, the club will be given a certain amount of time to recruit new members.

"Last year, because a member of our comics club had his comic works serialized in a certain journal in Shanghai, this achievement was barely considered the result of the comics club's activities, so the school did not cancel our club. But this year, if we still can't find enough people and I haven't created a comic that can be serialized in a journal, then it will be dangerous."

Mo Ran took out an application for joining the club and looked at Xia Yan with expectation on his face.

So you are so nervous that you came here in person and tried so hard to invite me to join the club?

"This year's freshmen are the most undemanding. My club has posted posters for recruiting new members for more than a month, but there is not a single person who wants to join the club. The light novel club next door has more than 100 members."

"After all, this is Shanghai University! For those who can get in here, reading some novels for entertainment is already the limit. How many people can persist in learning comic drawing skills? Without a comic foundation, most people may turn around and leave when they hear about the comic club. No one wants to be a Muggle after joining the club and be trained and guided by a group of people. "Xia Yan said.

And even if there are people with painting skills, most of them will join the painting club, art club and other clubs, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.

Mo Ran was silent after hearing this. She admitted that the threshold for comics is indeed much higher, and it is normal that no new members can be recruited.

"But I am different." Xia Yan smiled.

"I am actually willing to learn about this knowledge from the beginning. I am very interested in painting and music. As long as the senior sister doesn't find me annoying. "

Xia Yan's journey to join the club was also very smooth.

Although there were only two people in the club, Xia Yan would often chat with senior Mo Ran on the Penguin account under the pretext of studying, and learn some painting and music skills and knowledge.

At the same time, Xia Yan's investment in Tang Yin's animation studio was officially launched.

Xia Yan wrote Parasyte novels at night, and also took time to study and create the animation script of Madoka Magica.

As for the daytime at school, he would take time to participate in club activities in the school club.

Xia Yan's college life began to get busy.

But at the same time, Parasyte has been confirmed to be serialized in the "Liuli Color" magazine in the November 1st issue.

This news was released on the official website of Liuli Book Club in mid-to-late October.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Xia Yan's fans who had been silent for several months.

All of a sudden, they became active.

"Have you heard? Mr. Yuanqing's new work is going to be serialized."

"Is it true? Is the new work the second part of To the Moon?"

"It's been half a year since To the Moon was finished, and I still can't sleep every night, looking forward to the second part."

"After waiting for more than half a year, I finally waited for Mr. Yuanqing's new work. Apart from anything else, I must support the novel after it is serialized."

"Is it serialized in Liuli Bookstore? I feel that with Mr. Yuanqing's achievements, it shouldn't be difficult to sign a contract with either Xingkong or Qingze?"

"What type of work do you think Mr. Yuanqing's new work will be?"

"Don't ask such questions. Mr. Yuanqing's writing style is very good. Not fixed at all, who can guess him!

Before the serialization of Parasyte's novel, Liuli Book Club hardly promoted it too much.

But this information is still spreading wildly in various novel groups in Longguo and Xia Yan's fan groups.

Although Xia Yan's absolute number of fans is still normal now, the stickiness of fans is very scary.

Many people have not even read the first chapter of Parasyte, but they are crazy about helping Xia Yan promote this work.

These are the reputations of Xia Yan accumulated from works such as Anohana, To the Moon, and Youth Journey.

Fans now have a mysterious self-esteem towards Xia Yan. letter.

Soon, mid-October ended and time came to late October.

In Xia Yan's class, many people gradually learned that Xia Yan's new work would be serialized on Liuli Book Club. In a few days, they would even see the journal online in the school library.

Some people were surprised and some were jealous. They were all the same age, but the gap was too big.

This also made many classmates pay much more attention to Xia Yan in the past few days.

To be honest, some people actually wanted to see Xia Yan, who had been a celebrity in the class since the beginning of the school, directly serialize the new novel. Flopped, became a big joke.

Finally, before the end of this month, Xia Yan finally dealt with some trivial matters.

In addition to the serialization of Parasyte's novel, the investment and equity change of Tang Yin Animation Studio were also quickly connected.

At the end of October, regarding the animation production of Magical Girl Madoka Magica.

This small animation studio with only a few dozen people has already listed a detailed process schedule.

October passed quietly.

On the first day of November, the magazine "Liuli Se" serialized the first issue of Parasyte, and it was officially released simultaneously throughout Longguo.
