Chapter 154: Coming to Hongchuan

"The original is in the bedroom."

After the earphones were taken off by Jian Xiaomei, Ye Hexu didn't raise his head, but pointed to the corner of the wall casually.

bedroom?

Jian Xiaomei looked confused, but the middle-aged assistant handed over the manuscript of the two chapters to her at this time.

"You already have two chapters here, what are you still busy with?" Jian Xiaomei asked in confusion.

"The story has reached its climax, and I can't stop my hands at all..." Ye Hexu said excitedly.

"Eh? Cough... Although I will be very happy to see you working so hard, you should also pay attention to your body." Jian Xiaomei persuaded.

"I know—by the way, which of these two effects do you think is better?" Ye Hexu turned around and picked up two drawings.

Both are full pages, with only one storyboard, but the composition is different.

In the picture on the left, the protagonist is holding a long sword and splitting the monster into two parts, while the angle of the sketch on the right is completely different. The monster is facing the reader with a ferocious look, while the protagonist is facing away from the reader. Reader, swing the sword and split the monster into two pieces.

Different angles give the same story a different feeling.

Jian Xiaomei made a little comparison and said, "The monster on the right is more shocking and more attractive to readers."

"But don't you think the picture on the left can better show the hero's heroism?" Ye Hexu retorted.

"No. This monster is just a little guy. Even if the protagonist kills it head-on, it can't show how powerful he is. On the contrary, the monster has a huge body and a hideous face. A detailed description of it can bring out the character of the protagonist. Powerful." Jian Xiaomei speculated.

Ye Hexu nodded slightly, feeling that what Jian Xiaomei said was very reasonable.

Seeing Ye Hexu bowing his head to paint, Jian Xiaomei packed up the manuscript and was about to leave. Suddenly, Ye Hexu turned his head, "Jian Xiaomei, is there any news about the 'Newcomer Award'? The judges' voting should be over now, right?"

"Ah? No." Jian Xiaomei shook her head, "The winners of the comic festival can only be announced at the party."

"Could Mr. Shang not notify in advance?" Ye Hexu asked puzzled.

"Of course not. What do you think the cartoonist association is for?" Jian Xiaomei quickly interrupted Ye Hexu, "Those people have always wanted to replace the magazine and become the judges of the comic festival."

"To be honest, personally, I would prefer someone from the Cartoonist Association to serve as the judges. This may be more fair." Ye Hexu stretched his hands behind his head.

"Impossible." Jian Xiaomei waved her hand and said, "The interests of the major magazines are different from each other. Even the three major magazines have friction with each other. If the Cartoonist Association is allowed to be a judge, the members of the Cartoonist Association will instead It is easier to collude together and affect the fairness of the results. And active cartoonists have to worry about the feelings of the magazine, and the scoring will also be focused. In short, it is not necessarily better for the cartoonist association to serve as a judge than the magazine. "

Ye Hexu pouted, "If you don't try, how will you know?"

"Ms. Ye, it's fine for you to say these words in private. If the reporter or other people in the magazine hear it, it will not affect you well." Jian Xiaomei warned.

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool." Ye Hexu made an OK gesture.

Hey, sometimes you are worse than a fool.

Jian Xiaomei rolled her eyes.

"correct,

Have all the other participating cartoonists arrived? "

"Others? Are you going to check into the hotel today? I heard that Mr. Han has left early. Mr. Su flew back from the 11th district today, and it will be very late to enter the hotel. Mr. Wang Yunze, maybe tomorrow? Anyway, the organizing committee booked the hotel for everyone , It started today." Jian Xiaomei told the news she had found out.

"When will Teacher Shen come?" Ye Hexu asked.

"I don't know, I'm not a know-it-all." Jian Xiaomei said depressedly, "Besides, "New World" is not Hongchuan's magazine, and my network is not so wide."

"Okay, I'm going there tonight too." Ye Hexu said.

"Eh? Don't you think it's early?" Jian Xiaomei asked in confusion.

Ye Hexu is in Hongchuan, unlike "Shen Zheng" who needs to rush over from other places.

To be honest, he doesn't even need to go to the hotel, he just needs to go to the live broadcast hall when receiving the award.

"What's the matter? Anyway, I've already finished the draft." Ye Hexu put on the earphones again.

Jian Xiaomei opened her mouth, glanced at the manuscript in her hand, and sighed softly.

This guy seems to be unreliable in doing things, but in fact he has a sense of proportion.

...

Shen Xin and his team arrived at Hongchuan on the day of the comic festival.

Although Song Ren left the sea of ​​clouds with Shen Xin and the others, he drove a car by himself and sped along the highway, and quickly distanced himself from Shen Xin and the others.

Shen Xin and the others were also happy to be at leisure, or in other words, they felt a little more relaxed after not seeing Song Ren.

Along the way, a group of people talked and laughed, and it was very lively.

In order to meet other cartoonists and cheer for Shen Xin, Zhou Yang completed the drawing ahead of time and applied for a companion.

So, just like the Hongchuan book signing a few months ago, a group of five people sat in the mpv and went to Hongchuan.

The place where the cartoonist stayed was another star-rated hotel named Jiayi, which was located in Nanjiatan, far away from Junhao.

The intention of the organizer is also obvious. Cartoonists cannot meet with the Cartoonist Association and the Comic Festival Organizing Committee until the end of the comic festival.

It didn't matter to Shen Xin, he finally came out to rest, and after the manga festival ended, his tense nerves could relax a little. At that time, while painting "ys", it is not a bad idea to improve my painting skills.

Xi Muhan's novel should have been published. I don't know if she will adjust her mentality in the face of aggressive readers. Hmm... I don't know if my experience as a web author is useful, let's talk about it at that time.

After completing the registration procedures, Shen Xin handed the room card to Lu Ning and the others.

The residences of Shen Xin and Yan Fei were provided by the organizer. They, along with other participating cartoonists and editors, were on the 22nd to 24th floors, while Zhou Yang's residences were scattered.

As for Song Ren, Shen Xin didn't know where this guy went. But no one is making noise in the ear, it will indeed be quieter.

Everyone was carrying their luggage and was about to return to the room, but when they were about to board the elevator, they were stopped by the staff.

"You two, this is the event arrangement for the comic festival, please take it well." The staff handed two pink letterheads to the two people.

Shen Xin and Yan Fei took the envelope and thanked them repeatedly.

Yan Fei lived on the 22nd floor, Shen Xin lived on the 24th floor, and the other three lived below the 22nd floor.

After bidding farewell to the others, Shen Xin also took the elevator to the 24th floor.

Shen Xin pulled the suitcase, walked out of the elevator, and opened the letterhead at the same time, ready to take a look at it, but at this moment, two people walked up to her.

Among them, the shorter person saw Shen Xin and raised his hand in greeting.

Shen Xin raised her head when she heard someone calling him, but found Ye Hexu walking towards him.
