After thinking about a dozen stories that were not favored, Xia Zigui finally admitted the fact that he was not suitable for original comics, and decided to follow Yu Xian's advice and find other people's stories to draw.

He quickly selected the story——"Curious Detective", which he had read many times and was already very familiar with the plot and characters.That is Ye Feng's novel.

He chose this story because the main characters of the story are already in place, and he already understands the plot very well, so there is no need to spend too much time on these two aspects.He is now mainly training his ability to handle scenes, atmosphere and storyboarding, so it would be best not to spend extra time on other parts.

He drew with the attitude of learning, and he didn't intend to use them for commercial purposes, nor would he make them public, so he didn't mention them to Ye Feng.

In order to better train himself, he put aside the hand-painted board he was used to, and used professional tools for drawing comics to draw.

During this period, Yu Xian gave him a lot of help, and often discussed with him various issues such as storyboarding and how to render the atmosphere.

One weekend when Ye Feng and Qi Le came to their place, Qi Le accidentally discovered Xia Zigui's drawing.

"Wow, Xiao Xia, are you drawing "Curious Detective"? It's really good!"

Ye Feng also leaned over to look at the words.

Xia Zigui immediately explained: "I'm just practicing, these paintings will never be used for commercial purposes, and will never be released to the public."

Ye Feng didn't care at all: "If you want to draw, it's fine. I'll tell the editor to let you be the chief writer of the comics of "Sly Detective". Your drawing skills are good, and he likes the style of painting. I guess he won't have any objections. "

Xia Zigui was very embarrassed: "I have a lot to learn now, and the speed is very slow. It is not enough to write a long series."

Ye Feng didn't say anything, he thought that Xia Zigui might still want to draw his own original story after training to a certain level.From Xia Zigui tirelessly showing him the outlines of various stories before, one can guess a thing or two.

After more than two months, Yu Xian was able to become a professional manga editor. With his help, Xia Zigui used his spare time every night to finish drawing a case - each part of "The Detective" has six case.

Pushing the last piece of drawing paper to the front of the table, Xia Zigui stretched, stood up, and jumped at Yu Xian on the other side with a smile.

"My task for today is finished, and this case is finally finished!" He hugged Yu Xian's neck and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yu Xian laughed when he heard the words. He put the business English book on the table, exerted a little force on his feet, and the chair moved back automatically. What have I worked hard for?"

Xia Zigui hesitated: "...how about we go to the living room? I'm afraid your chair will be crushed by the two of us."

Yu Xian: "..." Looking at the figures of the two, Yu Xian got up silently and went to the living room with Xia Zigui.

Xia Zigui poured a glass of boiled water for each of them, and sat down next to Yu Xian. The two became intimate for a while, and Yu Xian asked, "Are you going to continue drawing the story?"

Xia Zigui was lying on Yu Xian's lap, facing him and shaking his head: "It will take a while. The teacher wants us to start preparing works for the original animation competition for college students. You can draw comics, illustrations, or animation. I want Try to make an animated short film, two-dimensional, with flash."

As he spoke, he sat up, ran to the studio and brought over a stack of papers, and said a little embarrassedly: "This is the short story I thought of. Well, it's actually related to the original story."

Yu Xian still remembers the original story, which is very similar to the magic brush Ma Liang.He took the paper from Xia Zigui's hand and read it carefully.As Xia Zigui said, this story is still related to the magic pen, but the plot has been changed.

The current story is like this: the protagonist lives in a place with a particularly harsh environment, where water is very scarce and plants are also very scarce. People there live a very difficult life.The protagonist likes to draw. He has been drawing in mud and sand with stones and sticks since he was a child, and then he got a magic pen by chance.There was nothing unusual in the beginning, until one time when he was very hungry and his mind was full of food, he drew a lot of food, and in the end, all the food became real.

The protagonist was stunned, and after many experiments, he found that once he thought about what he was painting wholeheartedly when painting, the painting would become a real thing.

The kind-hearted man drew water and abundant plants for his hometown, the land became fertile, and people's lives became better and better.Everyone was very grateful to him at the beginning, and even regarded him as a child prodigy, becoming the most respected person in his hometown.

It's just that the situation changed very quickly, because after the people in their hometown have lived and worked in peace and contentment and lived a happy life, the protagonist feels satisfied, and rarely desires anything wholeheartedly.But everyone was not satisfied, and wanted him to draw more gold, silver and jewelry, more cattle, sheep and livestock... This was not what he really wanted, no matter how many he painted, it would not be real.

Then everyone said that he was abandoned by God, and they wanted to drive him away, but they kept the gift of God—that is, the pen.

The final outcome is that he left his hometown alone and took the horse he had drawn before on the road; no one in his hometown could use that pen to draw real things, and the water and green slowly disappeared again.

Yu Xian spent a long time, and Xia Zigui was anxious: "Well, isn't it still naive? I still have a good mentality and can withstand blows, so you just say..."

"Very good." Yu Xian said, "I think this story is very good."

Xia Zigui immediately burst into a big smile, but he restrained himself for a moment, widened his eyes and said, "Aren't you trying to make me happy?"

"I will coax you in such a matter?" Yu Xian hugged him and kissed him, "You, you should also have some confidence in yourself."

Xia Zigui took the outline of the story from his hand, laughed and murmured: "I was quite confident at first, but after being beaten dozens of times by you, Xiao Yezi and Pangpang, I don't dare to have too much confidence anymore .In order to avoid expectations but greater disappointment.”

"Didn't you just say that you were in a good mood?"

"... At least I dare to continue writing?" Xia Zigui looked at him and said with a smile, "Can't this be considered a good attitude?"

Yu Xian pulled him up and said, "It's hard to finish the task ahead of schedule one day and go to bed early. Then I'll be busy again."

Xia Zigui immediately stuck to it: "Enen, get a good night's sleep."

Afterwards, Xia Zigui became busy again. Because the competition had a time limit, he was pressed for time, so he was even busier than drawing comics before, and sometimes he had to stay up late.When he needs to stay up late, he will let Yu Xian go to rest. When he finishes his work, if it is too late, he will sleep directly in the second bedroom, so as not to disturb Yu Xian.

However, even if it is a short film, it is not easy for one person to complete it in such a short time. Xia Zigui, who finished the task for the day very late one night, lay on the bed and thought about it, and then went to invite Li Qing the next day.

Li Qing didn't care much about this competition, but because the teacher required everyone to participate, he spent a few days preparing an illustration intentionally.He has now determined his career plan, and he will go to a game company to do original paintings in the future-now he often helps draw NPC characters and icons for the game that both he and Xiao Hao like.

In fact, Li Qing still had some work to do, but seeing that Xia Zigui was really busy and liked his ideas, he agreed to help him.Xia Zigui is in charge of painting, and Li Qing is in charge of making a painting into an animation effect.In this way, the speed is not only faster, but also the real-time effect can be seen. Xia Zigui can also make adjustments to the subsequent pictures according to the animation effect, and the previous pictures can be filled in immediately.

With one week left until the deadline for submission, the overall effect of the short film has been completed, and only the details need to be adjusted.However, there is still a very big problem, that is, there is no dubbing!

Xia Zigui didn't think so much when painting with his head covered, but Li Qing thought Xia Zigui had plans in mind.Seeing that it was roughly completed, he said to Xia Zigui: "What about the recording file? If you haven't recorded it, you should do it as soon as possible. It happens that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are weekends, so you can catch up with the progress. After recording the sound, you need to make some adjustments, so that you can see more Good results. Don’t forget to burn it to a CD in addition to submitting online.”

Xia Zigui: "..."

"You haven't found someone good yet?"

Xia Zigui felt very guilty: "I'll look for it right away."

Turned around and sent a message in the group of friends.

[Crayfish]:, urgent help! !full staff

[Rat]: What's the matter?Who bullied you?

[Fatty]: Don't cry, speak slowly.

[Little Leaf]:?

[Lele]: Xiao Xia, are you in danger?

[Fish]: It's okay, you can all prepare to record tomorrow.

[Mouse] [Fatty] [Little Leaf] [Lele]: Oh~

[Mice]: Just come to me directly tomorrow.

【crayfish】:? (⊙v⊙)? ...

[Stone]: Are you showing affection?

The ignorant Crayfish picked up the phone and called Yu Xian: "Yu Xian, what's going on?"

"Mouse has relatively professional recording equipment, and you can go there to record tomorrow." Yu Xian was obviously a little unhappy, "I mentioned to you before that you haven't dubbed yet, obviously you forgot, I have already agreed with them. You will Let's see whose voice fits."

Xia Zigui was moved: "You are so kind, and so are they."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Zigui told Li Qing about it, and Li Qing said with a smile, "Sure enough, friends are so easy to handle. Actually, I was also thinking just now, if you have no ideas, just ask a friend to help."

Li Qing can be regarded as one of their big circle of friends, and he knows the rest of them very well.The two discussed who would dub the characters in the short film, and Li Qing left after a rough decision was made.

"The rest of the work may have to be done by you alone. I'm in a rush. I'm sorry."

"You've helped me a lot, so what are you sorry for?" Xia Zigui waved his hands repeatedly, "I'll show you when I'm done, and try to make changes if there's anything wrong. Don't forget, this work is created by the two of us." of."

Xia Zigui went out with Li Qing, Li Qing went back to school, and he went to the supermarket to buy a lot of vegetables and came back.When Yu Xian came back from school at night, he smelled a very strong fragrance.

Xia Zigui poked his head out from the kitchen when he heard the movement: "It will be ready in a while, and there is one last soup."

Yu Xian walked to the dining table, looked at the sumptuous dinner, and looked at Xia Zigui who was busy in the kitchen. He was a little dazed for a moment, and felt that his heart had softened into water, and some of the little emotions that had arisen during this period dissipated instantly. many.

Xia Zigui even opened a beer on purpose: "I'm sorry, I've been so busy this time, I haven't cooked for a long time. I didn't do anything about sweeping the floor or doing laundry—ah, the more I talk about it, the more I feel disgusted... ..." Xia Zigui looked guilty and couldn't continue.

Thinking about this period of time, especially in the past month, he almost only thought about finishing the animation short film every day, and went straight to the second bedroom to start working as soon as he returned to the house.I asked Yu Xian to call or Yu Xian to bring me the meal; I didn’t care about it when I took off my clothes; I didn’t touch the broom once; I even slept directly in the second bedroom for more than half a month...

Before, he was too involved and didn't think about it carefully, but now that he thinks about it, Xia Zigui's scalp is almost numb.He himself felt that he was hateful, but Yu Xian endured it and treated him so well!Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo touching!He must have saved the universe in his previous life!

He was moved and happy but also a little apprehensive and said: "Don't dislike me... I will reflect on it, and I won't be like this no matter how busy I am in the future."

Yes, no matter how busy I am, I will never ignore you.

Yu Xian looked at him quietly, the joy in Xia Zigui's heart dissipated, leaving only anxiety.Could it be that Yu Xian has already decided not to want him, but he didn't bring it up because he was busy?

Now that I am free, I have to...

He grabbed Yu Xian's hand violently, and said in a hurry: "If you are angry, you can scold me, hit me lightly, but you are not allowed to say that you want to separate from me, I will not agree. Yu Xian , I really promise you that I will not do this in the future."

"What's the rush?" Yu Xian held his hand instead, rubbing his thumb lightly on the back of his hand, comforting him silently, "I never thought of you being separated."

Xia Zigui breathed a sigh of relief: "Then why do you just look at me and don't speak? It's scary, and I'm very disturbed."

Yu Xian was silent for a moment, then exhaled slowly for a long time, and laughed sullenly: "Because I am really unhappy. It should belong to a kind of neglected loss and depression, especially sometimes you are too involved and seem to completely forget Actually, it is also very contradictory. On the one hand, I am very happy that you can work hard in the direction you like, and on the other hand, I am angry that you are not as clinging to me as before."

He looked at Xia Zigui and said: "A year ago, I would never have imagined that I would say such a thing... But now that I say it, I don't feel too embarrassed. We have also said before that we must be honest with each other——" That's how I feel."

"right……"

"You don't need to apologize, just like you said, just reflect on it." Yu Xian reached out and touched Xia Zigui's eyelashes, and the tears filled with tears fell on his palm, and he said, "Remember the most important thing: no matter how late, Come back to sleep with me."

Xia Zigui nodded sharply.

Yu Xian picked up a bottle of beer and clinked glasses with Xia Zigui: "Eat, if it's cold, it will waste all your hard work."

The next morning, Xia Zigui and Yu Xian went directly to Xiao Haona.Xiao Hao also lives off-campus now, in the same community as Xia Zigui and the others—Xia Zigui and the others found the house here before, which was also introduced by Xiao Hao.

The two brought a lot of food, basically meat, and a lot of seasonings.

In fact, Xia Zigui bought these foods yesterday. He originally planned to cook these meats at night, and invited these friends who came to help to eat delicious food today.It's a pity that last night he was so emotional and had a fight with Yu Xian that Xia Zigui completely forgot about these foods.

So what I bring now is uncooked food and seasoning.

Xiao Hao lived alone, and also had two rooms, one of which, like Xia Zigui and Yu Xian, was basically converted into a workshop.He can't cook, but there is everything in the kitchen, and sometimes his mother will come to cook for him when he is free.

As soon as Xia Zigui arrived, he went to the kitchen to prepare food.

Xiao Hao happily moved out all the dishes hidden in the cabinet.Then I went to the studio with Yu Xian to adjust the equipment.
