Curse of the Eye of the Dead

After agreeing on the publication plan, Uno formally mailed the finished manuscript to the publishing house at the beginning of July.

Five chapters, a total of 16 words.

In the novel sample, each chapter also comes with several exquisite illustrations.

...that is quite an astonishing and delicate drawing technique.

Taking the bride Aqian, who is the shortest, as an example, there are a total of three supporting illustrations.The painting style probably refers to the current popular style, but also incorporates the artist's personal characteristics. It is different from Two-dimensional and not as realistic as the three-dimensional, with a unique aesthetic feeling.

The first one is a happy young girl who is drowning in lies, and her parents, relatives and friends behind her with blessings and happy smiles.

The colors are soft and warm, everyone’s smiles are drawn vividly, and the background is full of festiveness of the big day. It is both beautiful and contagious, quietly conveying the village’s expectation for the wedding to every unaware reader , making people smile involuntarily.

The second one is about the childhood past that Aqian couldn't help recalling on the way to explore the truth.

Five or six-year-old Aqian is already the treasure of the whole village. She is a carefree and perfect child who is loved to the extreme by everyone.

The third picture is the scene where Ah Qian, who was wearing a gorgeous wedding dress and exquisite jewelry, was dragged onto the wedding sedan chair when the truth came out.

The last one is undoubtedly the most amazing and shocking.

The married bride is unbelievably beautiful.

Her wedding gown is not Bai Wugou, but the color of the traditional Japanese bridal gown.Seda gowns are generally gorgeous costumes that are put on after the wedding ceremony in front of the gods, which is equivalent to the second wedding dress. However, if it is solemn enough, in some places, Seda gowns may occasionally be used as the first wedding dress.

Aqian's color coat is obviously quite solemn and gorgeous.

The inner lining is snow-white, the upper part is red and the lower part is black, and it is embroidered with gold, silver and bright silk threads to cover all kinds of camellias and auspicious animals and plants. The flower hairpins made of precious metals and the matching jewelry... This wedding dress weighs about ten to twenty catties in total, which is quite heavy.

And Ah Qian, who was wearing this gorgeous wedding dress, really looked overwhelmed.

Her wedding dress is a cage, and her heart has collapsed into pieces.

Beauty and fear and despair are mixed together to form a creepy and eerie atmosphere.

This is a painting drawn by Kakuo-sensei, the author of the novel... that is, Kitazawa Uo.

I didn't expect it to be a supporting illustration for the novel at first.

He just signed the publishing contract, and under the suggestion of the editor of Pinsong, "Mr. Kakuo, how about forwarding the publication announcement of our Akizuki Club on Twitter, so as to bring popularity and increase fans by the way", he started to publish his novels when promoting his novels. He Tu only.

And only three pictures of the bride Aqian were drawn.

Of course, he also wanted to advertise his new part-time job in the future.

Mr. Curse Spirit with a decadent face: Although I have referred to the most popular modern painting style, I can’t imitate it anyway. I have tried my best to adjust it. I don’t know if there is a market. Anyway, let’s post it first to see the reaction.

... As a result, because the color details and design are too amazing, and the emotional appeal is amazing, it has been reposted by countless readers who have heard the news.

Some knowledgeable people also tweeted in surprise that the details of Uogi's drawings are completely in line with the background of the times, and they can stand up to inspection. They also wrote a large article to explain the historical source of the details clearly.

Teacher Jiaowei, who has double majored in literature and painting and is knowledgeable (reader's language), immediately rushed into the hot search.

In the illustration, the bride Aqian is carried into the wedding sedan chair in a colorful gown, which will even become the standard for clothing production during movie shooting in the future.The director also specially contacted the author through the editor, and wanted to ask Mr. Jiaowei to draw a detailed design of a wedding dress.Of course, it is the kind that will pay.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Mantra received such a good response, and finally received an invitation from his own publishing house with a face full of surprise.

They said they wanted to pay him to draw illustrations for the remaining five stories.

The pay is high.

Probably because Uno single-handedly raised the astonishing popularity before the official publication, Qiuyue Club was overjoyed, thinking that it was the reward for his own precious writer anyway, so he opened it to the highest level.

In the end, even the cover of the novel was designed by Kakuo himself.

Considering that a movie will be released in the near future, he chose to use the bride Aqian as the protagonist.

[The most versatile novelist in history, the published content is truly all-inclusive! ]

——This topic once remained high on Twitter, and was talked about by countless readers and passers-by netizens.

Mr. Curse Ling, who has just received a large sum of money from a publishing contract, and now has successfully obtained new income through painting, is in full swing with his new business.

.

After the publishing and film and television contracts were officially confirmed, Uo, who received a large sum of money and made up for all the losses from the move, entered a period of rest.

He doesn't pay much attention to the popularity of his novels, and reads them like a happy-go-lucky old man.

Uo has been seriously accompanying the children recently. When the little ones go to school, he makes a pot of tea by himself, puts the tablet of his mother Sachiko beside him, sits cross-legged on the edge, and closes his eyes while the breeze blows under the sound of wind chimes. The days are quite leisurely.

Mr. Cursing Spirit doesn't need to worry about books either.

After all, his chatty editor is more punctual than an alarm clock, and whenever there is any movement, he will happily give him a summary of the situation.

On the first day of publication in mid-July, "Traveler's 21 Years of Experience Notes" was swept away by countless readers.

In just one week, Qiuyue Society has already urgently reprinted eight times, and one month later, it directly rushed to the first place in the sales statistics list.

In August, the film and television adaptation was officially determined.

Taking advantage of the popularity, the production team of Bride Aqian posted a notice on Twitter in time, and also @卢生's Twitter account, announcing the news of the film and television to the public.

Mr. Cursing, who is addicted to Twitter recently, retweeted it easily, and also posted a sentence "I look forward to it very much."

The heat increased step by step.

Literature lovers are rejoicing like New Year's Eve: Look, our literary world finally has a dazzling new star again——!

After the readers finished chasing the new book, they began to enthusiastically leave messages on Uo's Twitter.

Some people express their own opinions, some people are simply boasting, and some are very positive about the next book of Kuai Uosheng.

Please empty my wallet: Teacher Kakuo, I like your novels very much!The story from the traveler's perspective is really amazing!To be honest, I would even like to buy your collection of fairy tales... Is there any publishing arrangement for your fairy tales?When will the next volume of the Traveler series be published?

Uogi thought for a while, and replied: The collection of fairy tales is indeed arranged. As for the next volume of the Traveler series...the exact time cannot be confirmed at the moment, but I will discuss it with Akizuki, and I will notify you as soon as possible. Thank you very much for your support.

The collection of fairy tales is indeed scheduled, and it seems to be decided to publish in September.

But for the next volume of the Traveler series... it is really impossible to determine the exact time.

Because from July to September, for two full months, Uno didn't move a single word.

Although there is still a regular update of "Hui Tan"...but that is completely a draft.

——Mr. Curse Spirit, who always submits manuscripts three months in advance, hasn’t replenished his inventory for a long time.

Because Mr. Curse is obsessed with Twitter and his new business.

.

Antiques from more than 50 years ago never stop learning.

Although it is quite difficult to learn because of the deep generation gap, it is still somewhat fruitful.

For example, now you have mastered the basic functions of scanners and Twitter.

For the predetermined new business direction, Uo has made a plan.

He chose to start by drawing comics to accumulate popularity.

In terms of content, you can use nearby materials: for example, first draw the fairy tales he published in the past.

For this reason, Mr. Juling also seriously solicited the opinions of the children at home, read Chacha's boy jump several times, and finally concluded that he learned a suitable narrative angle and turned the text into a cartoon.

Occasionally, he would draw a random picture of the daily life of his family of four: like three children and two dogs playing hide and seek at home, when the little ones get up in the morning, they tacitly stand in order of height and brush their teeth at the sink, and Chacha and Tsumiki There are various cute scenes such as drawing a little turtle on the face of Megumi who is taking a nap secretly.

The response was not bad.

There are comments every day.

It wasn't until one day that Mr. Mantra posted his newly learned dessert on Twitter, and got a lot of responses from netizens, and then it officially got out of hand.

It's obviously a certified writer's account, but it has been updated with all kinds of content.

Comics, gourmet food, Goufan sharing (for Yugou), dim sum tutorials, handmade sweaters, handmade wood carvings, etc...

reader:? ? ?

Of course, Mr. Manuling didn't forget the "business".

He has indeed begun to receive tentative draft requests from netizens.

Whether it's a private drawing, a fanart, or an invitation from the company for an illustration...Mr. Curse Ling will basically never refuse. He is also very efficient in publishing manuscripts, and he is patient and willing to revise manuscripts. He has become a famous newcomer in the painting circle for a while. As a painter, I made a lot of extra money.

But Usheng is not completely unselective.

Mr. Cursing Spirit really can't draw some manuscripts.

For example, Shitu, Shitu and Shitu.

Hmm... Shitu didn't answer.

Mr. Curse Ling, who is single until now, can see his pupils quake and face red just looking at these requirements (although the black skin can't tell), the hand holding the mouse is trembling, his long bony tail is so stiff, and his hair is fluffy like Yun Duo's long white hair can explode into balls.

Although the traditional family of conjurers is absurd in this respect, for the pure and single old antique who was taught by his mother well and pays great attention to the distance between men and women and etiquette... the modern young people's unabashedly harsh speech is still a bit too open .

Old Antique, who had never taken the initiative to touch erotic pictures, couldn't bear it.

He even couldn't help covering his hot face with one hand, squatting in the corner with his bony tail drooping, trying to delete the information in his brain.

As time passed, Teacher Jiaowei was once again on the trending list without any surprise.

#My dear teacher Jiaowei, what else can’t be done#

A certain reader summed up Mr. Jiaowei's lack of business in recent times without thinking too much about it.

A writer's twitter for everything but fiction...it's dumbfounding.

A netizen who doesn't read novels but is obsessed with Kakuo-sensei's comics enthusiastically sent out an invitation: Do you want to switch to drawing manga, Kakuo-sensei?The teacher's painting level is really high, and the content is very interesting!

reader:……! !

Edited by Pinsong: ! ! !

Editor Pinsong's eyelids kept twitching.

He recalled the focus of Teacher Jiaowei's work during this period, and couldn't help contacting him frantically in a panic.

The young editor, who never had to worry about submitting manuscripts in the past, made the sound of urging manuscripts for the first time.

[Ping Song Editor: Teacher!teacher! !Teacher Kakuo! ! !Do you have any ideas for the next volume? ]

Editor Ping Song can't wait to rush to Mr. Jiaowei's house and scratch the door: drawing is worse than writing, teacher!Teacher, you can't change jobs!

The manuscript paper in the room was gradually replaced by drawing paper, and the curse spirit with a decadent face replied silently: ... Wait a minute, wait a little longer.

.

In September and autumn, the average daily temperature in Yokohama is around 20 degrees, neither hot nor cold.

The casting of the film has basically been confirmed, and the funds are sufficient. It is expected that the filming will officially start in early October. Now it seems that the actor who will play the young Ah Qian has not been confirmed.

On the day of the public casting, the new director invited Uo to the casting scene.

He seemed to want to refer to the author's own ideas, but was rejected by Uo.

Mr. Curse Spirit never interferes with the progress of the movie.

Only when the director and screenwriter actively contacted him to discuss the adaptation of the plot with him, would he learn about the situation and put forward his own ideas and opinions through instant messaging software.

Compared with movies, Uno pays more attention to the lives of his own children.

For example, Megumi and Tsumiki's campus activities - Kanagawa Daiichi Elementary School will hold an autumn sports meeting this weekend.
