Everyone wants to steal my boyfriend

He and Yu Xian went home happily after playing in H City, and Xia Zigui brought a lot of souvenirs to his parents.

While helping to clean things up, Mother Xia asked, "How was the game?"

"Excellent." Xia Zigui smiled and said, "To be honest, it's not a problem that you and Dad are always so busy all year round. You should give yourselves a vacation and travel together."

"Holidays? There is no time for vacations in our industry. Vacations are basically equivalent to wanting to resign, even if you don't lose your job, it will affect your future evaluation." Xia's mother said with a smile, "It's because you know how hard it is. At that time, you wanted to change your major. It’s only on your side. It’s good to be like you now, and you can go out to play after finishing a job.”

Xia Zigui turned around and hugged Xia's mother: "Mom, I will work hard to make money, and let you and Dad enjoy happiness in the future."

Xia Mule laughed straight, patted his arm and said: "After going to college, I became able to talk! Your dad and I are in good spirits now, even if we have that condition, we can't be idle. Let's talk in a year."

He talked to Xia's mother about the journey, and Xia's mother urged him to rest.After taking a bath, he felt much better, so he didn't go to bed. Instead, he turned on the computer and logged into the mailbox that he hadn't looked at much these days, worrying that there was something that Xiao Hao needed to change.

There is no email from Xiao Hao, but Ye Feng's email.

The content of the email is very simple, that is to ask Xia Zigui to contact him after returning from playing.

Before Xia Zigui and Yu Xian went out, he sent a message in the friend group, saying that he would go out for a few days, and he might not always pay attention to the news. If there is something that he misses, just leave him a message.

He directly tapped Ye Feng on QQ.

[Little Leaf]: Are you home?

[Crayfish]: Well, I just came back not long ago.Is there a problem?

[Little Leaf]: I am going to tell you about the comicization of my novel.Would you like to be a manga writer?After much deliberation, I think you are the most suitable, and readers have the highest acceptance of you. After all, you are the one who made the main characters.Of course, this is cooperation, so you don't have to worry too much. If you have other ideas, it's okay to refuse.

[Crayfish]: I'll think about it, okay?

[Little Yezi]: Okay, just give me an answer before school starts.

After chatting with Ye Feng, Xia Zigui took out a piece of paper and wrote down the plan he had originally thought in his mind.According to his idea, he can start to draw the stories he wants to draw when he is in junior year—unfortunately, the plot has not been fully thought out; in addition, he can also go to an animation company for an internship to gain experience while learning.

If Ye Feng was agreed to be the main writer of "The Detective", then these plans would definitely need to be changed.Because it must be a very long matter, because the story is very long, and Ye Feng is still writing.

He was very contradictory. On the one hand, he wanted to paint his own story, but on the other hand, he really wanted to paint "The Detective".Aside from Ye Feng's factors, he is now a loyal fan of novels. If such a wonderful story is drawn by himself, it will be quite a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

After struggling for a long time, he called Yu Xian for help: "Yu Xian, what should I do?... It's really hard for me to make a choice."

"what do you think?"

"I really want to cooperate with Ye Feng, but this means that the focus of work in the next few years will be set. And I still want to draw the stories I want to draw."

With a soft voice, Yu Xian asked, "What story do you want to draw? Do you have any ideas?"

Xia Zigui felt guilty: "...only preliminary thoughts."

"Then think about it, if you reject Ye Feng, will you regret it in the future?"

Xia Zigui didn't know if he regretted it or not, but he knew that there would be regrets, so he said honestly, "It will be a pity."

"I think you don't have to completely oppose these two things. You don't have to decide to do one and give up the other. You can have both, but you may not be able to have both at the same time."

"Ah... that's true, I'm too greedy."

After hanging up the phone, he thought about it again, and called Ye Feng decisively, agreeing to cooperate with him.He still needs to think about his own story slowly, and when he thinks it all over, he can still draw a draft in his spare time, and then draw his own when he finishes drawing Ye Feng's story.

As Yu Xian said, this is actually a thing that can be achieved at the same time. He only needs to adjust it a little, and there is no need to worry about it so much.

The next afternoon, Xia Zigui received another call from Ye Feng, who said, "I'm in City W."

Xia Zigui: "...I'll go find you."

Xia Zigui met Ye Feng in a restaurant, and just as he sat down, Yu Xian also came in and sat down beside him.

"What do you want to eat?" Ye Feng asked.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came to W City? We can pick you up." Xia Zigui looked at the menu, "You order, we invite you, no matter what, we must do the landlord's friendship."

Ye Feng didn't refuse, took the menu and ordered two dishes, and then handed the menu to Xia Zigui: "I didn't come to W city on a whim, I said I would come to play before. It just happened to be a business. I'll come to have fun, and by the way, I will meet you Let’s talk about specific matters of cooperation.”

He said and looked at Yu Xian: "Xiao Xia may be embarrassed to say that I am an acquaintance. You can give him some advice."

Yu Xian nodded very naturally, Xia Zigui smiled and said: "Now Yu Xian can be regarded as my manager, he can represent me with full authority, just talk to him."

During the meal, Ye Feng and Yu Xian started chatting, while Xia Zigui was listening and rarely interrupted.

Ye Feng said: "Actually, many people want to buy comics copyright from me, but I think in my situation, selling to other companies will bring quick money, but it is not cost-effective. Finding someone to cooperate will maximize the benefits. "

Yu Xian nodded: "Your novels have already accumulated a high popularity and have many loyal fans, which can ensure a large number of basic readers for the comics, so for the artist, popularity basically doesn't need to be considered, he just needs to be able to It is good to present the story as perfectly as possible with paintings. This is a cooperation that is sure to make money without losing money. From Xia Zigui’s point of view, he has taken a lot less risk. Based on these, his requirements for profit distribution will definitely be low at an average level."

Xia Zigui nodded on the side.

Ye Feng laughed when he heard the words, thinking that Yu Xian is indeed a shrewd person, and he insisted on sharing the profit as soon as he opened his mouth.In fact, for a novel like his that is already very popular, it is possible to find a good artist but not a popular artist to draw a manga, and it only needs to be paid without a very high monthly salary.As for the profit, no matter how much it is, Xia Zigui will definitely earn much more if he is not arrogant.

However, he chose to find Xia Zigui, and even called Yu Xian together, so he was already ready for this.

"Afterwards, I will show you all the data of my novel, and then you can talk about how you think it is more appropriate to divide the profits?"

"it is good."

Both parties have the intention of friendly cooperation, and the copyright of Ye Feng's comics is in his own hands, and he can make the decisions with full power, so the discussion did not take a long time.The contract was signed before the start of school, and the conditions were generally favorable to Xia Zigui.

He was a little guilty, and Yu Xian rubbed his hair: "Don't be stupid, this is a very fair contract, and neither party will lose. Didn't you listen to what we said when we discussed? Besides you, he also Be optimistic about your extended value, which will be very beneficial to the promotion of comics in the future and even to his own future plans."

"What extension value do I have?" Xia Zigui was puzzled.

Yu Xian hesitated a little, but still said: "Cai Shi. He likes your friendship with Cai Shi. You should remember that in the character design you made for that story, there is a very popular supporting role who has the same relationship with Cai Shi." It is very similar. In the future, he may borrow Cai Shi’s popularity. Now that his fantasy drama has just started to be officially announced, Cai Shi’s popularity has increased a lot. Cai Shi will definitely become popular—and don’t forget, Cai Shi is still surrounded With Pan Luochen, the Pan family is very powerful."

Xia Zigui: "...you all think so deeply."

"It's fine if you don't mind."

"? What do you mind?" Xia Zigui was stunned, and then suddenly said, "Is it possible to use Shitou's popularity for publicity? This is not possible. In fact, I told him when I drew the character design. Not only did he not mind but also I'm very happy, it's because of this that I didn't modify it. Besides, this is also a mutually beneficial publicity, isn't it? But you are right, if I want to borrow his popularity, I will tell him first."

Yu Xian nodded and said nothing more.

As soon as the junior year started, Xia Zigui started to get busy.He showed Ye Feng all the stories he had drawn before, and Ye Feng said some of his own thoughts, and then basically asked nothing.

Xia Zigui and Yu Xian discussed the future plan together, and then rented a vacant room in the same building in the same community to make it a studio. Originally, they thought about vacating their own studio, but the space was too small, and Yu Xian didn't care about it. He likes that people always come and go in and out of his and Xia Zigui's private space. He and Xia Zigui are not short of money, so they decisively decide to rent a house again.

Xia Zigui also asked Li Qing to help two classmates as assistants to draw the background.Li Qing has been taking orders to make money since he was a freshman. He is well-known in the circle of painters at school, and he also knows many painters.Xia Zigui only mentioned a word, and he readily said that he would find it soon.

For comics, Ye Feng's idea is to follow the general method of publishing comics, first find a platform to serialize, and then publish a single volume after a certain number of serializations.And once the serialization starts, it is best not to stop updating.In terms of speed, it is impossible for Xia Zigui alone.In the few stories he drew before, many backgrounds were only drawn in simple drafts. If they were handled carefully, the speed would be much slower.So someone has to help.

On Saturday, Xia Zigui and Yu Xian went to the supermarket early in the morning to add some things to the "Crayfish Studio". "Crayfish Studio" is a doorplate given by Xiao Hao. The words on the doorplate are mentioned by him himself, and a lobster is drawn on the front and back.Xiao Hao also specially took it to the shop for mounting.The handwriting is very elegant, and the crayfish is also very cute. Xia Zigui liked it very much, so he hung it on the door.

When they arrived at the door of the studio, there were already two young men standing at the door, studying the door plate.

Xia Zigui immediately smiled and said, "Is it Li Zong and Wang Bin?"

Li Zong and Wang Bin are the assistants introduced by Li Qing. They chatted with Xia Zigui on the Internet before, and they made an appointment to meet in the studio today.

The two turned their heads, and the taller one said, "I'm Wang Bin."

Shorter said: "I am Li Zong."

Xia Zigui opened the door: "Please come in."
