Big Manga

"The song "Summer Shadow" is so good to hear! With such a warm song, the game atmosphere of "" seems to be very complete."

"I guess it's the same as "ad", with joy in the early stage, pain in the middle, and a magical happy ending at the end!"

"Hahaha, I'm really looking forward to it, I plan to play all night on New Year's Eve!"

Yanjing, the two teenagers walked past Wu Lin while talking excitedly. Wu Lin looked back at the two teenagers, shook his head lightly, and sighed in his heart: "It's perfect, the ending of this game is super cruel. Teacher He Xi is not as kind as you think!"

Wu Lin is an artist in the game production department of Phoenix Company. He is standing in front of a hotel, hesitating whether to go in or not.

After many years, he had just returned home and received an invitation from his high school class reunion. Wu Lin used to be inconspicuous in high school, did not do well in college exams, and lost contact with his high school classmates early... If his mother hadn't forced him to come, he really didn't want to come to this kind of place now.

"Why don't you go back...just find an excuse to tell mom that you're here." Wu Lin was thinking about this, and just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly patted his shoulder with a hand: "Oh, Wu Zi, long time no see!"

He was startled, looked back, and found a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Brother Qing?"

"It's me, and you're so recognizable, I haven't seen you for so many years, and your appearance hasn't changed at all!" Wang Qinglei laughed loudly. He was Wu Lin's deskmate in high school and the pistachio in the class. He has very strong communication skills, and he is familiar with everyone: "Come on, come in with me. By the way, your mobile phone number keeps changing, and you can't be found."

Wu Lin smiled wryly: "I went to work in Ninghai after graduating from university, and went to Suhua last year. There is no way..."

Seeing Wang Qinglei's familiar face, his anxiety disappeared a lot, and he followed him into the hotel naturally.

"It hasn't been three years since you graduated from university. Why do you change jobs everywhere? I'm not talking about you. You will have a future if you stay down-to-earth in one place for a long time." Wang Qinglei said: "Remember those two talented men and women in our class? Huang Lei has been contributing to the Society of Painters since she was in college, and she got in after graduation. Now she can hold a solo exhibition.”

"That kid Hou Li has a wild heart. Since last year, he has given up his job and jumped around. Now he is all jobless..."

Wu Lin high school is an art department, painting. Therefore, the students in the class are all developing in the direction of painting. He felt that he was hopeless enough to draw games,

I didn't expect that genius in high school to be even more aggressive.

"What about you, what are you doing?" He asked Wang Qinglei.

"I'm working as a teacher, don't you know?" Wang Qinglei laughed at himself, and then sighed: "I chose the wrong career when I was young, and there is no way out for painting, except for Huang Lei, who has developed better, and the rest They are not doing very well, and most of them have gone to work as art teachers.”

Wu Lin was suddenly surprised. One of his seniors in college was a hacker, and he went to work as a painter at Phoenix Company with him after graduation, so he didn't know much about the future of other people who studied painting. In fact, there are many people who study painting in China. However, there are relatively few jobs, and it is difficult to find a job after graduation without studying well.

"By the way, you haven't told me what you're doing yet?"

Wang Qinglei turned around and asked.

"I... I'm drawing a text adventure game..." Wu Lin blushed a little, this is really not something to praise. When they first learned to draw, they were all serious paintings. The comic style of word adventure games can be said to be a betrayal of tradition in the eyes of learners.

"Hey! Not bad!" However, it was unexpected. Wang Qinglei showed envious eyes: "A text adventure is a comic style, right? I wanted to develop in this direction before, but I really couldn't make it."

Although traditional paintings and comics are both considered paintings. There are also some similarities, but this does not mean that everyone who learns to draw can draw manga. There are many manga drawn by experienced painters that are not even as beautiful as those of novice manga artists.

Wu Lin was surprised by Wang Qinglei's answer: "Don't you discriminate against those of us who draw cartoons?"

"Why do you want to discriminate? We are not high-spirited students. Now that we are out of society, it makes sense to make money." Wang Qinglei said with a smile: "Manga is a good thing. In recent years, it has given many people who can't eat Painters bring hope. And the salary is also high, much more than teachers like me get, by the way... how much do you usually get a month?"

"Not many, more than 7000..."

Wu Lin didn't hide anything, he was just an ordinary painter, and his salary was considered ordinary among the painters of Phoenix Company.

But Wang Qinglei was stunned for a moment: "7000! Damn...that's not much? You kid is kidding me!"

He glared at Wu Lin viciously. He worked hard as a teacher for a month and was only in his early three thousand, and the other party doubled! Moreover, for occupations like game painters, there will definitely be a lot of dividends and bonuses, and the average may be nearly ten thousand... White-collar workers should only pay this salary!

"7000 is indeed not many among the painters of Phoenix Company." At this time, another young man walked in, and he walked up to the two with a smile on his face, and then stretched out his hand to Wu Lin and said, "Wu Lin, I just took the painting a few days ago. Notification from Ninghai Animation Department, I will be your colleague from now on..."

Both Wu Lin and Wang Qinglei were stunned.

"Hou Li? What did you just say?" Wang Qinglei reacted first: "Phoenix Company? You said Wu Lin works for Phoenix Company?"

"Yeah, I heard it just now... You said I was a homeless person, right? Haha, I have found a new job now." Hou Li said triumphantly: "The animation department of Phoenix Company is in charge of "Pokemon" The production, I beat hundreds of people to get in, how about it, it’s amazing!"

It's a pity that Wang Qinglei ignored him. He looked at Wu Lin with wide eyes: "You just said to draw a text adventure game? Could it be that you drew the "" that just came out today?"

"Um... I just participated in the production." Wu Lin was a little nervous when he was stared at all over his body.

"Fuck! So you have participated in the previous "ad" games?"

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong, big brother, you actually asked me what's wrong!" Wang Qinglei scratched his hair, and said bluntly: "You didn't read my Weibo, I'm Teacher He Xi's die-hard fan of games! Don't talk, hurry in, you Tell me about "" quickly... and "Xia Ying", do you have a backup of that song?"

Wang Qinglei grabbed Wu Lin's hand and walked quickly towards the hotel box.

"Paralysis, you boy is actually an artist of Phoenix Company! Why didn't you say it earlier, what a loss... I think I couldn't buy the collector's edition of "d" after queuing for five hours at the game store. If I had known With you, I should get it from you!"

"By the way, is there a collector's edition of "" released this time? I want to buy one set, oh no, two sets!"

The figures of the two quickly disappeared into the hall.

Hou Li stood there in a daze, with his hand still outstretched: "I said, do you want to ignore me like this..."

"Pfft..." He heard a laugh coming from behind him, and when he looked back, it was a pretty woman.

"Hey, talented girl, you are free to attend the class reunion!" Hou Li immediately withdrew his hand and said with an embarrassed smile, "Why isn't there an art exhibition today?"

"It's useless to hold it. I'm a small painter. I'm lucky to be able to hold it once every six months, and even if it's held, few people will come to see it." Huang Lei shook her head and smiled, then stretched out her hand and said: "Compared to this, I On the contrary, I admire you, Hou Li... Congratulations on your dream come true and you joined Phoenix Company."

Hou Li was taken aback for another moment, then stretched out his hand and shook it: "I really can't hide anything from you."

Others thought that Hou Li was changing jobs this year, but in fact his goal has always been Phoenix Company. Hou Li is a very talented painter, but because of his talent, it was even more painful when he transitioned to drawing comics. After walking on a crooked path for a year, it is now considered to be on the right track.

"With the support of national policies, comics will be a gold industry in the future. I don't have your vision, otherwise I should have transformed a few years ago..." Huang Lei said with her hand back.

"It's not too late to transform now. It's too difficult for the traditional Chinese painting circle to get a position. You're wasting your time there." Hou Li smiled and said, "It's better to come here earlier and work hard towards the 'island' with me... Teacher He Xi in the comic circle is A big devil who can open up history, I don’t know how many painters want to bathe in glory behind him, if you don’t transform early, you will have no chance in the future.”

"Nowadays, the devil city of the painters has not yet been formed. If you don't fight hard, you will definitely regret it!" (To be continued) ()
