Bai Tan opened the door and said sadly: "I'm back."

Gu Jianrong felt in a daze that he seemed to see a pair of drooping long ears on the back of the other party, and he was extremely listless. He didn't need to ask any more questions, he knew that Bai Tan must have hit a wall again.

So, Gu Jianrong said gently, "Let's eat first."

The air was filled with the aroma of home-cooked food, Bai Tan covered his rumbling stomach, thinking that he hadn't paid for living expenses for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said patiently: "No, I just ate beef ramen outside, hey, the taste is so delicious ..."

When he said this, he lowered his head and tried to tear his eyes away from the dinner table. When he was about to finish, he glanced back reluctantly.

Ah, that look is really lingering.

Gu Jianrong smiled softly and harmlessly, "But I have made so much, if I can't finish it, I have to throw it away, it's too wasteful." It seemed a bit embarrassed.

It should be noted that Gu Jianrong has such a bad temper, he was not beaten to death during school, and after working as a teaching assistant at Fangcheng University, he was in charge of teaching occasionally, and the hall was full, all thanks to his outstanding face.

Gu Jianrong is good-looking, and he is the kind of person with red lips, white teeth, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and perfect beauty. Except because of his withdrawn personality, he doesn't like to communicate with others, and hides indoors all year round, making him look too frail and vicious. It can be said that it is perfect everywhere, after all, the flaws do not conceal the advantages.

For such a good-looking person, why would Bai Tan give him a troubled look?

Just like when the two met for the first time, Bai Tan couldn't bear to see him standing alone in the corner, and the others were laughing and laughing in twos and threes, but Gu Jianrong's place was quiet, now Bai Tan couldn't bear to see Gu Jianrong die because of any problems. Headache.

So, Bai Tan rolled his Adam's apple, and said greedily: "Then I'll do what I can, and help you solve it." He couldn't help but feel ashamed of his brazenness.

Gu Jianrong smiled innocently and did not expose him.

The two sat down to eat.

Gu Jianrong's craftsmanship was as good as ever, Bai Tan couldn't help squinting his watery eyes, and sighed: "I'm so happy."

Those eyes were bright and clear, filled with stars, Gu Jianrong looked at them, and his fingers were itchy. He habitually curled up the fingers of his right hand, rubbed the middle and middle fingers with his thumb, and pinched them with his left hand. Vegetables, I didn't eat much after a meal.

The two get along well, and they don't have so many rules, they don't pay attention to "do not talk when eating, do not talk when sleeping", after Bai Tan is half full, he relays Xu Shubai's words to Gu Jianrong in the same way.

Gu Jianrong curled his lips invisibly, and said displeasedly: "I think you draw very well, why is he giving directions there?"

Bai Tan glared at him: "What do you know, he is a gold-medal painter and a gold-medal writer of First Publishing House, plus a gold-medal editor-in-chief, he must have a higher grasp of the market than me."

Gu Jianrong said: "So you still need to revise the drawing?"

Bai Tan nodded with drooping eyebrows.

Gu Jianrong frowned, slender and long sword eyebrows, slightly messy bangs, covering his gloomy eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "It's so hard to change and change."

Bai Tan was helpless: "There is no way, we have no capital and no background, if we want to be famous, we must sell the comics."

After eating, Bai Tan consciously cleaned up the tableware and washed the dishes conscientiously. Gu Jianrong was cutting fruit on the cooking table beside him. Jian Rong's age is actually younger than Bai Tan.

Gu Jianrong picked up a piece of apple, put it in Bai Tan's mouth, and suggested: "Anyway, I'm resting this afternoon, why don't we read your cartoon together and think about how to perfect it."

Before Bai Tan officially started, he had done a very detailed research in bookstores and on the Internet, and found that the most popular types of comics can be roughly divided into horror and supernatural, suspense reasoning, campus love and other types.

Among them, horror and supernatural comics are not very easy to publish due to national policies, let alone animation and film and television. Bai Tan is not very good at campus love and the like, so he simply chose suspense reasoning.

When Bai Tan started writing, he was inspired by a certain "Reaper Elementary School Student" in the island country, and named it "The Truth". He used a main line to run through the whole story. It caused a lot of panic in the society, and the police station was helpless. The captain in charge of investigating the case never understood the relationship between the murders until he accidentally found out...

Fangcheng is located in the south, close to the coastline, the climate is warm, with a lot of precipitation, the weather changes erratically, the sun is still shining during the day, and it is gloomy in the evening.

In a certain bedroom in the third community, Bai Tan was lying on a large desk, facing piles of messy sketches, drawing something quickly, until he encountered a problem in the plot, no matter how he modified it, he couldn't be satisfied, and he collapsed. Picked up the paintbrush and shouted: "Ahhh, kill me! I don't want to draw anymore..."

As interesting as reading comic books, drawing comics by hand is as boring. Pay attention to the overall layout of the screen, arrange the spatial layers, pay attention to the appearance of the characters, write relevant dialogues, and design an ups and downs, eye-catching plot...

One stroke at a time is needed, and the painting is done slowly.

Bai Tan was so worried that he pulled his hair straight, and faced the sky and asked his soul torture: "Why can't scientists invent a machine that can transfer the things in my mind to paper with just a scan and a beep?"

Of course God doesn't have time to deal with Bai Tan's whimsical ideas. He grumbled for a while, then walked back to the desk, picked up the pen as if appointed, and comforted himself: "It's the last time, if you change it for the last time, you will definitely reach the level of senior brother." request." However, in this case, I don't know how many times I have repeated it.

After the revision was completed again, Bai Tan contacted Xu Shubai immediately, and came to deliver the manuscript to him, forcing a wave of Amway.

Xu Shubai's expression was very complicated, there was a faint sadness hidden in his eyes, he took a deep look at Bai Tan, and after hearing what he said, he took a symbolic look, nodded and said: "Very good."

Bai Yan's eyes lit up: "So, can you sign the contract and publish it?"

Xu Shubai grasped the drawing tightly, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "Junior brother, let me ask you a question. If you still can't pass the drawing this time, will you give up?"

Bai Tan shook his head: "No." He paused, scratched his head with one hand, and said with some embarrassment: "It's a bit embarrassing to say, but if you still can't pass here, I think it may be the first publishing house The threshold is too high, I'm going...to try my luck at another publishing house." It's not that Bai Tan wants to lower the standard and bend his waist for five buckets of rice, but that as an ordinary person, he always has to eat and drink, and it's not good to let Gu Jian Allow yourself to suffer.

It seemed that it could not be delayed any longer, Xu Shubai nodded solemnly.

Bai Tan is very talented in manga, he has been studying hard for many years, his skills are very solid, and he has been personally guided by Professor Du, so he is naturally not a mediocre person.In fact, as early as the first time Bai Tan took the drawing for Xu Shubai to review, it had already exceeded the expectations of the First Publishing House and reached the signing standard.

It was Xu Shubai who had selfish motives, so he refused again and again, and deliberately proposed some inappropriate revisions, in order to prevent Bai Tan from publishing his works.

However, it is too late to go too far. With the relationship between Xu Shubai and Bai Tan, it is understandable to help and give advice, but if you prohibit Bai Tan from trying other places under the premise that you have clearly stated that you will not accept the manuscript, it will not make sense.

What's more, Bai Tan's story setting is interesting, each unit case has its own bright spots, and the content is very eye-catching. Even under his malicious guidance, some advantages have been erased, but the overall structure has basically remained the same, it just looks rough The First Publishing House may look down on it, but ordinary small publishing houses will definitely miss it.

At that time, "The Truth" will also be published, and Bai Tan will also become famous.

This is the established trajectory and cannot be changed at all.

Instead of this, it would be better to put Bai Tan on the throne with his own hands, sign him in the First Publishing House, and put him under his nose. It is more reassuring than letting Bai Tan go to other places.

After weighing all the pros and cons, Xu Shubai smiled happily, "Congratulations, you have passed the test."

"What did you say?" Bai Tan couldn't believe it at first, and then almost jumped up happily, pulled Xu Shubai's sleeve, and kept asking him: "Really? Really? You are not kidding me, are you? ?”

Xu Shubai pointed out: "If you don't want to, it's too late to regret it now."

Bai Tan was so happy that he went crazy, how could he listen to these words, he just waved his hand and said impassionedly: "Don't worry, brother, I will continue to draw after I go back, and strive to produce a few more volumes!"

The two communicated with each other about the details of the contract and the publication matters. Xu Shubai also introduced a few famous comic artists and famous editors from the First Publishing House to Bai Tan.

As expected, the First Publishing House had a lot of money and wealth. Right after signing the contract, they transferred Bai Tan a considerable amount of manuscript remuneration, which was enough for him to live comfortably for a period of time, and greatly relieved Bai Tan's financial pressure.

In order to express his gratitude to Xu Shubai, Bai Tan graciously invited him to have a western meal. On the way home, he walked happily while walking. He just felt that this day was full of rewards. His hard work and sweat were finally recognized, and his sense of accomplishment was overwhelming. When I think that after a while, I will be able to see my own work in the bookstore, as well as the author's name "Green Sandalwood" on the title page, I can't help but smile so hard that I can't see my teeth.

Bai Tan made an agreement with Gu Jianrong: If you are rich, don't forget each other.Although Bai Tan is still a long way from being a successful person, it can be regarded as the first step, so he went to the supermarket to buy a lot of snacks.

When there are no classes in school, Gu Jianrong usually stays at home all day, either reading or playing computer games.

Bai Tan got used to Gu Jianrong's dullness, saw him wearing a black alphabet sweater and slacks, nestled on the sofa without any sense of presence, so he walked over, rubbed Gu Jianrong's hair, and said excitedly: " Let me show you, I successfully signed the contract today, are you surprised or not?"

Gu Jianrong unfolded the crumpled balls of paper in his hand, stretched them out, and spread them out on the coffee table one by one. Then, slowly, the corners of his lips curled up, a brilliant smile bloomed, and he raised his head and said: "I knew it, you can do it."

Bai Tan is condescending, his eyes are drooping, and his vision is occupied by Gu Jianrong's smooth chin, pale and thin skin, and blood-red lips. Only from the corner of his eye can he vaguely see that those papers seem to be his own discarded drafts.
