After learning about the new thing Nan Yi secretly tinkered with, Zhu Xian was filled with emotion.
Comics indeed have a lot to offer.
If Nan Yi and Zhou Qing don't take action, whoever can first master the comic book drawing method and adapt classic stories into comic strip form will be the first to get the first pot of gold in the comic book market.
With such a bright future for money, even literati and celebrities who say they are not interested in money will definitely be really interested in the direct drawing technique, and will not only be interested in it for a moment.
As a result, the direct-drawing technique and comic-strip painting are expected to gain momentum in the near future.
As the leader of the new school of painting that corresponds to the direct painting technique, Nan Yi will eventually contribute to Nan Yi's reputation as long as the direct drawing technique becomes popular.
This is a conspiracy.
Zhu Xian saw that Nan Yi was exchanging profits for fame, and gained fame faster and more fiercely by giving away profits.
Thinking again about Nan Yi studying hard during his studies and being able to resist being distracted from drawing and making money, Zhu Xian suddenly felt that Nan Yi acted with clear goals, lofty ambitions, and was able to make decisive choices.
Perhaps in the future, Nan Yi's name will never be limited to the field of painting.
Zhu Xian thought to himself.
Nan Yi, on the other hand, thought of his past life.
He grew up in a welfare institution, and all kinds of materials were in short supply. When he was a child, short-format books and comic books that had long been eliminated from the outside world were still one of the few entertainment reading materials in the orphanage.
Nan Yi has read the Little People's Books for several years and has some understanding of the Little People's Books.
In Tianxia's 1980s, when Little People's Books were first released, they were extremely crazy. It could even be said that they were not printing books, but printing money.
The popularity of little books once reached such a level that everyone had them. It can be said that "if you don't read little books in your life, it would be useless to call yourself a Chinese."
In Dali, even if the comic strips are less popular than Tianxia, they won't be any worse.
After all, the logic is always the same. Revitalizing the sinking market is equivalent to opening up the opportunity to make money.
If this world was just an ordinary other world, Nan Yi would have to scheming with aristocratic families and the government because of the huge profits from comic books.
But there is extraordinary practice in this world, and Nan Yi can use this to save himself from the intrigues and thoughts of fighting for profit, and only focus on gaining fame, which is quite easy.
However, the more relaxed it is, the more it proves that in this world, extraordinary practice is the right path.
Mortals who do not practice cultivation are no different from ants in the end, they live and die in vain.
Therefore, Nan Yi gave up his fortune and sought fame, hoping that this would provide some benefit to his subsequent practice.
Suddenly, Zhu Xian recalled something and said, "By the way, Nan Yi, my teacher would like to congratulate you in advance. You have successfully won the first place in this year's exam."
Nan Yi was confused: "Aren't the annual exam results released after the Chinese New Year?"
The New Year holiday in Dali lasts for ten days. After the New Year holiday, that is, on January 11th, the annual examination results and rankings of students in each county will be officially announced.
"That is to unify the rankings of candidates in various counties, and also to wait until the end of the Spring Festival to announce the results." Zhu Xian explained, "The examination papers are fast and slow. For now, although our county's examination papers may not have been completed, you can The review has just been completed and the results have been released.”
"I have written to the trustee before asking about your grades. After he knew your grades, he replied to me, and the letter happened to be delivered this morning. And your total score in the four subjects is the highest score ever in our Nanshan Academy. This year I will definitely win the championship.”
It turned out that on the day of the annual exam, the invigilator was fascinated by the Nanyi test paper, which not only made the students concerned, but also made Zhu Xian curious.
Considering that Nan Yi was the academic seed who was expected to win the first prize this year, Zhu Xian sent a letter to his former students who were officials in the county government to inquire about Nan Yi's results.
The rule of Dali's examination and review is that the review is anonymous, but after review, it can be directly entered into the database. There is no such thing as checking the score before entering the database.
Therefore, if you have a way, you can check the scores in advance before all the examination papers have been marked.
But under normal circumstances, it doesn't make sense to only know the scores but not the rankings.
But if your score is high enough, you don't have to worry about rankings.
For example, the Nanyi test paper was taken at the third year of Tianqi.
The political examination is 93 points, policy theory is 92 points, classics is 90 points, and literature and poetry is 95 points. The four subjects are 370 points in total.
Prior to this, the highest score ever achieved by Nanshan Academy was 359 scored by Xie Jianan two years ago.
Nanyi scored 370 points, not to mention firmly ranking first in Nanshan County, but also in the top five in Chu County as a whole.
Mainly in the areas of policy theory and prose, Nan Yi's score was too high.
Policies and essays are mostly deducted based on their feasibility and practicality; essays and essays are based on the mentality of being dismissive of literati, and can easily be criticized and deducted by the marking officer.
Therefore, generally speaking, it is rare to score 85 points in these two subjects.
As a result, when I arrived at Nanyi, not only were they all above 90, but their literary scores were as high as 95.
The key student, Zhu Xian, also stated the reason for deducting points in his letter: Xu was in a hurry to write the essay in the examination room, the plot was condensed like an outline, and it was not possible to describe it in detail. The narrative was not natural and vivid enough, so five points were deducted as appropriate.
When Zhu Xian saw this sentence, he was quite puzzled: "What this says is that if the exam time was not limited and I put all my effort into writing, would I still be able to get a perfect score?"
In fact, it's really hard to say.
Because Nan Yi's examination paper, the story of Luo Tuo Xiangzi in Dali, alarmed many examiners in Chu County. After scrambling to circulate it, it was submitted to Chu Kuangsheng, the governor of Chu County.
However, since these situations involved officials, Zhu Xian's student did not mention them in the letter and simply told Zhu Xian about Nan Yi's results.
After hearing the news, Nan Yi, who had already been confident about his results, did not feel overjoyed. Instead, he was surprised and asked: "The news comes so early?"
Before, when I heard what Bi Shengke said in his speech - "In ten days, won't there be some news again, and I will need to deliver a speech again?" - Nan Yi was thinking at that time, should I give a speech in ten days? Bi Shengke revealed his identity on the 1st, allowing Bi Shengke to give another speech on the same day for "Yi Ming" to win the annual exam.
Nan Yi is a person who knows how to measure.
Although Bi Shengke was willing to give him a little favor due to Du'er's order, he could not let Bi Shengke come over to deliver speeches again and again, which would in vain cause him to lose face as the magistrate of Nanshan County.
Unless there are very good reasons for Bi Shengke to "sincerely" address the platform.
As a result, before Nan Yi could decide whether to reveal his identity to tease Bi Shengke for his third speech and see what fancy words Bi Shengke could come up with, the news that he won the first prize in the year-end examination had been spread in advance. Come over.
This slightly disrupted Nan Yi's New Year's plans.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the New Year to seize the time to train Diandian into an excellent ghostwriter. Only by dictating the development of the plot, Diandian could imitate his writing style and habits to polish the text and quickly write the text.
As a result, the news of winning the championship came too quickly.
Nan Yi estimated that since his score was so high, other prominent families in Nanshan County would definitely receive the news within a day or two.
Nan Yi was not happy when he heard the news, but fell into thinking.
When Zhu Xian saw this, he wondered: "Why did you suddenly start to ponder when you heard about winning the first prize?"
Nan Yi then sighed: "But it made Master Zhu laugh. I was just thinking about how to reject those people who came to propose marriage in the next few days."
