Below the information is a link.
Ruan Youning took a look, then changed his phone to click on the link.
When the link opened, it was a bid for a niche novel to be adapted into a comic book. Ruan Youning looked down bit by bit and realized that this project was different from previous project bidding processes.
The requirements for this project are very simple. It does not require the qualifications of the painter, nor does it require a mature team. Even individual painters can participate in the bidding. The only requirement is that the drawing must completely reproduce the style and plot of the novel one-to-one. Once it is found that there is no recovery, the cooperation will be terminated immediately, and Party B will be required to compensate three times the amount.
Very overbearing terms.
Ruan Youning was thoughtful, and after just a moment's thought, he realized that this seemingly simple requirement was actually very demanding.
After many novels have comic versions, the first volume of the comics must be very consistent with the novel, but the second and third volumes are often very outrageous or even seriously broken.
There is no other reason. The salary of any low-level worker is not very high, and the same is naturally true for painters. Before they became famous, they were unknown and barely survived. By chance, because a comic book is well-received and huge fame and fortune come to him, the artist will be impetuous and inflated. He may even feel that since he has a famous comic book, he no longer needs to paint diligently every day.
The sketch that was done perfunctorily was naturally substandard, but the producer would still publish it for the benefit of all parties. After the book fans got the book, they naturally cursed and boycotted it. This is why many novels only have two volumes of comics at most.
The quality of the drawings coming out of the studio can be guaranteed, but many studios do not respect the painters, and the fame and fortune they gain are often unevenly distributed, which leads to the resignation of the painter. The painter leaves, but the painting still continues, and the boss of the studio only It is possible to recruit new people, but the new people often can only imitate the superficial skills of the previous painter without the essence.
In this way, the style of painting has changed, and book fans will naturally not buy it.
Although Ruan Youning officially entered this industry not long ago, he still knows these ins and outs.
In her opinion, this request was not excessive at all, even too normal.
She turned to the last page and was surprised to find that this project did not accept online submissions. She had to go to the site in person, draw on the spot, and get the results on the spot.
There are natural benefits to doing this. One is to avoid a long wait, and the other is to avoid studios looking for gunmen to cheat projects.
This project is quite interesting.
Ruan Youning thought about the pros and cons, and felt that there were no disadvantages to him, so he quickly replied to Xiao Zhou: "Okay, I understand. Ask anyone else if they are willing to go together."
"receive."
Although I don’t know if I can be selected, and the time is not very suitable now, it is always right to give it a try.
Ruan Youning thought like this and continued to focus on reviewing the manuscript.
As soon as he went to work in the afternoon, Xiao Zhou also reported the list.
Only Zhao Xin and Zhang Yue.
Zhao Xin and Zhang Yue?
Ruan Youning was a little surprised, but then it became clear that they were the only two drawing separate commercial manuscripts, so they didn't need to rush the schedule, so they naturally had more time.
This is fine, to give the newcomers some exercise.
The time announced on the website happens to be this Saturday.
After thinking about it, Ruan Youning still did not form a small group, but privately informed the two of them to meet in the studio at seven o'clock on Saturday morning.
Before getting off work, Ruan Youning specially asked a familiar hourly aunt to come to the house to cook.
Normally, she would eat out with Song Shijing in the evening, but she would take time tonight to read the novel for this project. In this way, if you continue to eat out, time will be a bit tight.
Eating at home can save at least half the time.
Naturally, Song Shijing had no objection to Ruan Youning's proposal.
-
The time soon reached five o'clock, and Song Shijing came to pick up Ruan Youning as promised.
The two went back together. As soon as they got home, the cooking aunt quickly brought the rock sugar snow pears that had been cooked in advance.
"Miss Ruan, Mr. Song, please drink something to warm your stomach first. You may be freezing outside."
The cook's surname is Zhang, and she has been working in this villa area for many years. Because she cooks delicious food and has a good personality, she is loved by many people. Whenever there is any need, she will be used first.
Ruan Youning responded, took it and took a bite.
Moist, sweet, slightly sour, the pears that have been simmered for a long time are crisp and juicy, and you can tell that they have been made with a lot of effort.
Ruan Youning sincerely praised: "It tastes really good, it still tastes the same."
Song Shijing also tasted it slowly, and he nodded, agreeing with her words.
Aunt Zhang smiled and said: "Miss Ruan, you are so ridiculous. Do you want to start dinner now?"
"Uh-huh."
With Ruan Youning's consent, Aunt Zhang quickly brought the rice to the table one by one.
Steamed eggs with shrimps, hand-shredded cabbage, Chongqing spicy chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, tomato fish soup, a very simple soup with two meat and two vegetables.
-
After eating and taking a shower, it was already eight o'clock. Ruan Youning was half-leaning on the bed before he had time to read a novel.
She only searched for the electronic version online and then read it carefully.
Song Shijing also took a shower and came out. He wiped his hair and found that Ruan Youning was so focused on reading the tablet that he didn't even look at him.
Um? Is he no longer attractive?
After a moment of surprise, Song Shijing came over and asked in a gentle voice, pretending to be casual, "What is Ning Ning looking at?"
As soon as he got closer, the fragrance from his body hit him instantly. Ruan Youning was distracted, and his little nose couldn't help sniffing hard. This man obviously used the same shower gel, but why did he smell so good? It made her feel itchy, and it made her want to...
She couldn't help but swallowed.
This scene fell in Song Shijing's eyes, and the awkwardness in Song Shijing's heart quickly disappeared.
For some reason, Ruan Youning vaguely felt that she seemed to see expectation in the eyes of the man in front of her? Ah Jing seemed to really want to kiss her?
…
As soon as the idea came to her mind, she immediately rejected it with a blushing face and an enthusiastic heart.
Is she a little... horny...?
Ahem... I have something serious to do today.
She sat up slightly, put aside the thoughts in her brain, and spoke seriously to Song Shijing: "Ajing, Xiao Zhou sent me an open bidding project today. I want to know more about it and see if I can do it on Saturday." Go for a while.”
Song Shijing curled his lips and did not tease her. He put the towel down casually and asked, "What project? Tell me."
"Look at this."
Ruan Youning clicked on today's link and showed it to him.
Song Shijing saw very carefully and quickly. After reading it, he gave a simple comment: "A very fair bidding project."
"Yeah, that's why I wanted to give it a try. If I go to Jeju like this, I won't miss anything at work." Ruan Youning returned to the page of the novel and talked about his plans.
As soon as Song Shijing's hair was dry, he got on the bed, his body pressed tightly against hers, and his strong hands naturally reached around her waist, and he and she looked at the tablet together.
As soon as the warm breath approached, Ruan Youning became a little absent-minded.
She couldn't help but twist a little, and heard Song Shijing whispering in her ear.
He spoke very fast and his voice was deliberately lowered, so Ruan Youning did not hear clearly. She turned her head slightly to look at him and asked him: "Huh? What are you talking about, Ajing?"
Song Shijing's eyes were fixed on the tablet, not looking at her. He repeated in a low voice: "There will be a delay."
"ah?"
Ruan Youning was confused for just a moment and then understood the meaning of his words.
"You went to Jeju, what should I do..." Song Shijing's beautiful eyes were filled with a sense of grievance.
In fact, the two have never officially discussed this issue.
The first is that Ruan Youning didn't know what to say and deliberately avoided it; the second is that she has been really busy recently. Now that Song Shijing was asking her very seriously, she couldn't just pretend to be confused.
It only takes half an hour to drive from Yancheng to Jeju. Although the distance is not far, it is really a different place.
"I……"
Ruan Youning was at a loss. She couldn't selfishly ask Song Shijing to drive so long to come to her after he had finished his day's work.
Once or twice was okay, but as time passed, Song Shijing would get tired, and she herself couldn't bear to let him bother her.
Moreover, he was the only child in the Song family, so it was unrealistic for him to leave Yancheng.
Ruan Youning thought about it again and again, and a part of her heart slowly sank.
After a while, she said, "Ajing, what do you think?"
Whatever Song Shijing was thinking, he naturally wanted to be with her, wanted them to be together every day, and wanted to be together all the time.
He thought so, but he also said so.
"Ning Ning, I don't mind running back and forth every day, and I don't mind struggling..."
Distance, time, and energy are never the reasons for any relationship to fade. It will be an objective factor, but it will never be a subjective factor.
Even though Ruan Youning could roughly guess how Song Shijing would answer, the moment he heard his words, his calm heartbeat could not help but accelerate.
Song Shijing was always like this. She was the main priority in everything, and she was considered first in everything.
In fact, she really doesn't think how good, special, or outstanding she is...
"Ajing..."
After a while, she sighed softly, without saying a word for the rest of her words. She closed her eyes and kissed the man in front of her softly.
With this kiss from her, Song Shijing understood what she meant.
He responded to her kiss, letting her take the initiative.
He wanted to continue to indulge like this, but he couldn't. She had enough energy and time tonight only to focus on her work.
The movements of the little woman in her arms continued, her hands quietly moved down, and then down again, very flirtatiously and seductively.
Song Shijing endured the surge of lust, grabbed her rebellious hand, and said in a low voice, "Not tonight."
why not?
Ruan Youning protested silently. Although her hand was caught, her calf restlessly rubbed against Song Shijing's leg.
Song Shijing's eyes darkened a bit, and he endured it again and again, reaching out and tapping the tablet that fell aside.
Although he didn't speak, the next second, he saw the resistance on Ruan Youning's face.
…
That night, the two of them stayed up all night and finally finished reading the novel.
