Fifty pages of drawings a day, Kasumigaoka Shiyu knows that Yan Kai is fast and can draw a page of drawings in five to ten minutes, but drawing comics does not mean that drawing is fast, the elaboration and conception of the plot is the most labor-intensive. .
And even if Yan Kai only spends five minutes per page of comics, fifty pages will take at least more than four hours, and more often it may take more than six hours. Yan Kai draws with such high intensity every day, Kasumigaoka Shiyu is really worried that he will suffer Can't live.
There are not many cartoonists who are hospitalized after drawing cartoons. Kasumigaoka Shiyu doesn't want Yan Kai to be one of them.
Bah, bah, bah, I came here to denounce him, why did I become worried about him!
Kasumigaoka Shiyu scolded himself a few words in his mind, and then put on an angry face: "The painting is so urgent, do you want me to tire myself to death!"
More than two months have passed, and Yan Kai's Japanese is still as bad as ever. And it seems that because Kasumigaoka Shiyu can always change his half-baked sentences to fit the context better, Yan Kai has become more and more lazy in dialogue recently, and just writes After knowing the general meaning, I left it to Kasumigaoka Shiyu to understand the rest. What’s even more outrageous is that Yan Kai didn’t know how to express some sentences in Japanese, so he actually wrote them directly in Chinese, which made Kasumigaoka Shiyu have to learn Chinese by himself to satisfy Yan Kai. Kai's demand, sometimes Kasumigaoka Shiyu really regrets it. If she had known at the beginning, she shouldn't have accepted Yan Kai's one million yen. She felt like she was trapped, and it was a huge loss!
Yan Kai smiled and complimented Kasumigaoka Shiyu: "No, no, senior sister is so talented. It's just such a trivial matter, it can't trouble you at all."
Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu has a lot of resentment towards Yan Kai, but Yan Kai is very satisfied with Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu. She can follow Yan Kai's thinking very well. Even if Yan Kai cannot express the meaning of some dialogues clearly, she can still understand them according to the context and the meaning. The context was supplemented by itself. She even made some more detailed modifications to some female characters' dialogues to make them appear more daughter-like, and Yan Kai also learned a lot.
One million is not a waste of money, it can even be said to be a huge profit.
It is true that Yan Kai did not gain any substantial benefit from the comics, and his personal blog account, whose number of fans soared to one million, was not used for any commercial purposes.
Even if there were an overwhelming number of private messages from the backend inviting him to bring goods or wanting to publish his comics, he never paid attention to them.
After spending a lot of money and more energy, effort and feelings, the money gained was zero. Logically speaking, Yan Kai should have lost blood, but looking at the picture that kept flashing in his mind, he could use his own paintbrush to create a comic form The satisfaction of actually appearing in front of him is simply unparalleled, and it is definitely worth all the effort Yan Kai has put into it.
Talented? That's you, you're like a monster. How on earth is your brain able to come up with so many strange but immersive stories...
Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said silently in his heart.
At first, I was attracted by Yan Kai’s magical painting skills. I thought that if I could get along well with Yan Kai, I might be able to ask Yan Kai to turn his novel into a comic. If the comic became famous, she, as the original author, could also become popular.
In Japan, if the screenwriter and the main writer of a comic are not the same person, the status of the screenwriter is higher than that of the main writer. After all, in Japan, there are many artists who are good at drawing, but there are not many screenwriters who can create touching stories. It is a rare species. As long as the story is good enough, people can accept it even if the painting style is poor. But if the story is bad, even if the painting style is god-like, few people will buy it.
Of course, if the painting style is so good that it is as good as a piece of art, then that is another matter. I won’t focus on the one that won’t catch people’s attention here.
Yan Kai's painting skills combined with his own story, Kasumigaoka Shiyu originally wanted to use this combination to re-establish his reputation and increase the sales of the novel. After all, if the novel does not have the full support of the publishing house when it is first published, readers will need to pay close attention. Read it carefully and savor it, and then the readers will promote it spontaneously to drive sales. As long as the comic style is good, the first impression can attract a group of readers, and as long as the story is not too bad, readers will continue to follow it.
In the light novel industry, there are countless examples of people with vulgar plots but relying on exquisite interjections to make a comeback. However, Kasumigaoka Shiu was only a new novelist at the time and could not find a well-known illustrator, so she could only rely on the publishing house to provide her with second-tier illustrators. , the illustrations of "Metronome of Love" can only be considered average, except that even if Kasumigaoka Shiu is not satisfied with the finished product, if he wants to replace people on the spot, he will break the rules of the industry. Kasumigaoka Shiu, a pink newcomer, is not so bold. To do this kind of thing, so when Yan Kai came to Kasumigaoka Shiyu's door, she initially had the idea of joining Yan Kai to publish comics to reverse her predicament at that time.
But after reading Yan Kai's comics, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who knows how to distinguish between good and bad, suddenly gave up this stupid idea.
Wouldn't this kind of story completely blow up her innocent youth love story?
Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't want to use such a description to belittle her novel, but with such gems as "Sword Roaring Jianghu" in front of her, she could only feel ashamed, and then... Then she inexplicably helped Yan Kai revise the manga, making Kasumigaoka Qiu Shiyu himself sometimes feels...Has he lost his mind and gone crazy? Why care so much about other people’s work? Did the people from the Central Plains cast a curse?
But later on, she seemed to get used to this routine. She would use it to catch up on her sleep during class every day. After school, she would chat with Yan Kai and Busujima Saeko for a while. After returning home, she would first help Yan Kai revise his drawings, and then take advantage of her mood to be distracted by Yan Kai. I get excited when reading comics, and start typing as if rushing to a scene, usually at 3 or 4 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Life is very busy every day, but also very fulfilling. It is quite interesting to quarrel with Yan Kai occasionally. Although most of the time he will be quarreled back by him, which makes him unhappy, but Kasumigaoka Shiyu finds that he does not seem to be the real one. The feeling of disgust...
Bah, even if I am shaking S, I am not shaking M!
Seeing that Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't seem so angry anymore, Yan Kai turned to Busujima Saeko and said, "Saeko, I haven't practiced sword practice with you for a while recently. My swordsmanship hasn't deteriorated, right?"
Hearing Yan Kai talk about swordsmanship, even though he knew that Yan Kai was deliberately changing the topic, Busujima Saeko actively greeted him: "Kai-kun, you are looking down on me now, my swordsmanship can only improve, there is no room for regression! "
"Okay, I still have some time before I start working, how about we practice?"
Yan Kai invites Busujima Saeko.
"I'm afraid Kaijun will be shocked by my progress!"
Busujima Saeko held her inseparable wooden sword, her eyes showing surging fighting spirit and... murderous intent.
Even if Kaijun kills my "half body", I must teach you a lesson!
Kasumigaoka Shiha, who was worried that Yan Kai would be unlucky, couldn't help but want to cheer for Busujima Saeko. Even Eve, who had been sitting quietly reading a book, closed her book, eager to see Yan Kai suffer.
"Do you... all want to see me deflate?"
Yan Kai scratched his cheek and suddenly realized that he was quite unpopular. Both of them were counting on being beaten by the enemy, right?
However, it seems that there is indeed a need to be beaten by Busujima Saeko today, not only to appease Busujima Saeko and Kasumigaoka Shiu, but also for the sake of the continued plot of "Sword Roaring Jianghu". A crucial showdown is about to begin. Busujima Saeko's swordsmanship is going to come in handy again, let's think of it as a preview today.
Afraid of attracting attention, the four of them hid in a secluded place. Busujima Saeko had a wooden sword in his hand, while Yan Kai casually broke off a branch as a weapon.
"Junior, if you don't care for trees like this, you will be punished by God in the future!"
Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu took the opportunity to criticize Yan Kai.
Now she doesn't blame Yan Kai for feeling uncomfortable.
Yan Kai smiled bitterly and said to himself that the environmentalists in Japan are really scary. They will kill people just by breaking a branch. No wonder Japan has a legend that it does a good job in greening the head. It turns out there is a reason for this.
She should have said this directly to Kasumigaoka Shiyu, but she was in a bad mood today, so Yan Kai held it back.
"Kai-kun, be careful!" Busujima Saeko's attack was a fierce Iai style. Although it was swung with a wooden sword and there was no scabbard as an aid, the vacuum blade formed by the tip of the sword cutting through the air was still sharp, not to mention that it could It is not a problem to chop down gold, iron or a big tree.
Be careful not to be hacked to death by me!
He was filled with anger, and he was using the secret killing swordsmanship of the Busujima family. This sword had a deadly effect as soon as it was released. Even Kasumigaoka Shiha, who was watching the excitement, was sore in the cheeks by the sword wind it brought. .
Is Saeko serious?
It was also the first time for Kasumigaoka Shiha to see Busujima Saeko use such a powerful swordsmanship. She had seen Yan Kai and Busujima Saeko's sparring several times before, and both sides were on point, but it had never been so intense!
Faced with such an Iai Slash, Yan Kai did not dare to fight, and dodged to avoid it, but this also left a flaw. Busujima Saeko rushed forward, and a series of fast and cruel sword attacks attacked Yan Kai. Having to stand still, Yan Kai finally threw out the branch in his hand and shot at Busujima Saeko. In order to avoid the branch, Busujima Saeko had to stop the endless combo, giving Yan Kai a chance to breathe.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu's heart was filled with excitement when she saw it, and she wanted Yan Kai to suffer, but she was a little worried that Yan Kai would really be stabbed by Busujima Saeko.
Although Busujima Saeko only has a wooden sword in his hand, the sword used in kendo competitions is a blunter bamboo sword than the wooden sword in Busujima Saeko's hand. Competitors still have to wear thick armor to defend against bamboo sword attacks. This high-speed wooden sword is used by A hit is no joke, especially since Busujima Saeko's swordsmanship is so powerful, it is very possible that her bones will be broken if she gets hit hard!
Oh, Kasumigaoka Shiha still underestimated Busujima Saeko. Even ordinary people, even if they are physically strong people practicing martial arts, if they are really hit by Busujima Saeko's wooden sword, they will not just break the bones, but directly crush the broken limbs. , the kind with blood splattering everywhere.
Yan Kai got a chance to breathe by throwing out the branch, but now Busujima Saeko didn't want to end the fight with Yan Kai, and didn't give Yan Kai a chance to regroup. After avoiding the branch, he swung a knife at the already injured hand. Yan Kai without his weapon.
At this time, Busujima Saeko was also eager to kill. Normally she would never be so aggressive, but because of Mochou's death, the grief and anger in her heart also vented out with this unreserved fight. She had already collected it. Can't stop.
Some people may think that it's just a comic character who died. Are they so sad and angry? Busujima Saeko can answer with certainty, as for!
Because she really likes Mochou, the girl who is strong for love, the girl who talks coldly to her father but loves her deeply. She likes everything about Mochou so much, even she stood up after being knocked down by pain. She is also strong and tolerant to her lover. She even imitated Mochou's movements and tone of voice at one point.
It's ridiculous that Yan Kai clearly drew Mochou based on her at the beginning, but in the later plot, Mochou in Yan Kai's painting has evolved his own characteristics, and is no longer an imitation of Busujima Saeko, but Busujima Saeko. Because Shima Saeko envied Mochou's qualities, she began to imitate Mochou...
Although Busujima Saeko quickly realized that this was wrong and stopped this irrational behavior, this also shows how deeply the role of Mochou has influenced Busujima Saeko. She is now slashing Yan Kai, Yan Kai It’s really not unfair at all.
But Yan Kai is not someone who will sit still and wait for death. This knife is a real blow. Yan Kai will not be hurt, but it will be painful. Yan Kai is not afraid of pain, but he doesn't like it either!
The wooden sword slashed down, and Yan Kai advanced instead of retreating. As his body swayed, he narrowly missed the attack range of Busujima Saeko's wooden sword. When Busujima Saeko raised his sword and turned to slash and sweep, his hands were on the Busujima Saeko's hands holding the sword were soft and strong, and Busujima Saeko's wooden sword immediately broke away from its original trajectory.
Of course, Busujima Saeko was not willing to give in, and fought with Yan Kai for the control of the wooden sword. However, Yan Kai reversed the force, pulling instead of pushing, and pushed him far away. His body lost balance, and he finally regained his footing.
"Yin Yang Jue, you've seen it before!"
Yan Kai did not attack, but smiled and gave Busujima Saeko a chance to regroup.
Busujima Saeko didn't answer, and stepped forward with the sword again. Yan Kai repeated his old tricks, and leaned close to Busujima Saeko, using the soft strength of the Yin Yang Jue to fight with Busujima Saeko. The wooden sword swung back and forth under the struggle between the two. go.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was watching the fight, even felt that it was a bit like a fight between young gangsters. However, when two people performed such unsightly movements, they unexpectedly felt like flowing water. The collision of softness and hardness was very touching.
The two people in the fight began to get very close to each other. Busujima Saeko's cold and pretty face was very close, and her heavy breathing from the unexpected violent movements even hit Yan Kai's face.
This was already a very ambiguous distance, but Busujima Saeko didn't feel shy at all, her face was cold as well as cold.
"People from the Central Plains, don't take advantage of others!"
Seeing that the two of them were so close that they seemed to be kissing each other, Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't stand still and couldn't help shouting to Yan Kai.
Yan Kai subconsciously loosened his grip because of Kasumigaoka Shiu's words. Busujima Saeko took the opportunity to throw Yan Kai away, and quickly slashed Yan Kai before Yan Kai could respond in time. Yan Kai narrowly avoided the sword again, but Busushima Saeko would not do it again. Giving Yan Kai a chance to pull away, several more sharp slashes struck Yan Kai. Yan Kai managed to dodge one, then two, but was finally hit by the third slash.
"Well……"
Yan Kai made a muffled sound, which seemed to be a signal, awakening Busujima Saeko from the state dominated by the will to kill and fight.
"Kaijun!"
Seeing that she actually hit Yan Kai, Busujima Saeko couldn't help but scream out as she regained consciousness.
