The three ran over together.
Liu Kaiyan got the letter from the postman, stretched his fingers, and then signed it.
Su Tian held his breath and looked at him, even more nervous than Liu Kaiyan.
Human beings are social animals. One of the remarkable characteristics of social animals is that people in the group will automatically divide the work. For example, when listening to a horror story, if you see others are more afraid than yourself, this fear will weaken or disappear, and even comfort you in turn. A more fearful companion.
The same goes for tension.
Liu Kaiyan was definitely nervous, but seeing that Su Tian was even more nervous than him, he was weirdly relieved and instead comforted her: "Don't be afraid, the worst thing is to reject the manuscript."
Su Tian blinked and said, "I'm not afraid."
Liu Kaiyan looked at her clenched fist, smiled and said nothing.
Wang Haoxue looked at Su Tian and then at Liu Kaiyan, not understanding what charades they were playing.
"Tiantian, what are you talking about?"
Su Tian looked at Liu Kaiyan. Liu Kaiyan felt that there was no need to hide it from Wang Haoxue, so he said, "Reply to the submission."
Wang Haoxue: "Wow, have you submitted a manuscript? What kind of manuscript, composition or poetry?"
Generally, high school students select this type of manuscript.
While speaking, Liu Kaiyan tore open the big envelope and took out the documents inside.
Su Tian stared at him, the young man's beautiful eyebrows gradually frowned, and then he smiled in relief.
"How?" Su Tian asked, she was really nervous now.
Wang Haoxue also looked at him with bated breath.
He handed the letter to Su Tian and said, "They asked me to change it."
Su Tian browsed quickly, pursing his lips slightly.
No wonder Su Tian was also very dissatisfied after seeing his expression just now.
The publishing house asked him to make a lot of revisions to the drawing, to beautify the circus appropriately, and it would be best to change the finale as well, so that the circus owner realized his mistake and stopped whipping the animals in the circus, and Kaka finally forgave him I met the circus owner, and happily brought laughter to the audience with other animals.
Su Tian almost laughed angrily.
What is really moving about Kaka is the pursuit of freedom and dignity, and the resistance to fate. If it is changed according to the requirements of the publisher, what is the value of this story
Whitewashing the peace, laughing and laughing, is that what he wants to express
Wang Haoxue didn't know what was going on, so she didn't dare to speak indiscriminately.
Taking advantage of the noon, Su Tian called everyone together for a small meeting. The theme of the meeting was: Do you want to revise the manuscript according to the publisher's requirements? If not, what should you do
There were customers in the dessert shop, so everyone found a stone table in the community and sat down.
In fact, the first topic hardly needs to be discussed. Everyone must respect Liu Kaiyan's ideas. Even Xi Yun, who wants to make money from Kaka publishing, said angrily that after the change, Kaka would not be his favorite.
And Liu Kaiyan is absolutely unwilling to change.
Kaka is his metaphor for himself. He can forget the pain of the first ten years of his life, but it is absolutely impossible to forgive.
The problem is, if you don't change it, you can't submit it.
what to do
Liu Kaiyan didn't want everyone to worry about him, and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't publish it. Nemo should be more in line with the requirements of the publishing house. You can wait for Nemo."
During this period of time, he has studied a lot of comics-related content, and he knows why the publishing house made such a request. The domestic animation industry mainly faces preschool children. Children are not yet able to understand the connotation Kaka wants to express. To make a profit, it is natural to cater to the aesthetics of the audience.
So now it's a dead end.
Su Tian: "Why don't we try to enter the competition? I checked and it happens to be the primary selection stage of the 6th Comic Contest. If we can win the prize, publication must not be a problem."
Liu Kaiyan twitched his eyebrows, participating in the competition, this is a way, it will be much easier to publish after winning the award.
At this time, the eldest lady patted the table and said, "Isn't it just publishing? Leave it to me!"
A group of people watched Youpinyan together.
The eldest lady waved her hand proudly: "Aren't those publishers who are unwilling to publish because they are afraid of losing money? I am not afraid. Let's buy the ISBN, print and distribute the goods ourselves. Isn't it just a matter of money, simple."
Su Tian coughed and couldn't help laughing. Liu Kaiyan's eyes were also stained with a smile, and Xi Yun was even more straightforward. Looking at You Pinyan was like looking at a lot of banknotes.
Su Tian: "Let me remind you, the hundreds of thousands of dollars you have on you now, according to how you spend them, will be gone within three months."
You Pinyan squibs instantly, and sits back discouraged.
That's right, she is no longer the one who used to be able to spend money lavishly.
The current You Pinyan is a poor man.
Everyone was instantly discouraged. After much deliberation, it seemed that participating in the competition was the best way out.
Su Tian remembered that she had submitted an electronic manuscript to Fangyuan Technology and Culture Company, but the other party had not responded. After thinking about it, she decided not to tell Liu Kaiyan for the time being, otherwise, if the other party rejected the manuscript again, it would be really bad for him. hit.
In the end, everyone unanimously decided to try the competition first, and talk about the others later.
She quietly called Fangyuan Technology behind everyone's back, and the other party replied that the company is negotiating, and the specific results have not yet come out, so she is waiting for five working days, and will notify her as soon as the results are available.
Su Tian hung up the phone, hoping that after a week, she would get a good result.
Who knows that the results of Fangyuan Technology have not yet arrived, and the plot line of the eldest lady has arrived first.
This weekend, Su Tian and Liu Kaiyan were helping He Qingwan in the store, when a black car suddenly stopped on the side of the road at the entrance, attracting customers in the store to look back.
This is the first time everyone has seen such a luxury car. There is no such thing in Los Angeles. Looking at the license plate, it is indeed not a local car, but a car from the imperial capital.
Su Tian also looked out following everyone's line of sight, just in time to see a young man open the car door and come down.
The man was very handsome, in his early twenties, wearing a three-piece suit, causing customers in the store to exclaim in a low voice, wow, so handsome, like a prince.
After all, Los Angeles is just a small county, even if there are some rich people, they seldom dress like this, and everyone has only seen it in idol dramas.
Su Tian's heart moved slightly, and he guessed who it was.
He took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to You Pinyan: [Someone is looking for you. ]
Tang Xifeng was a little surprised that there is such a stylish dessert shop in a place like Los Angeles. After entering the store, she was even more surprised when she saw Su Tian and He Qingwan. Should I say that Los Angeles is an outstanding place? And such beauties.
Su Tian smiled: "What do you want, sir?"
Tang Xifeng didn't line up, walked around other people and walked in front of Su Tian, took out his wallet, drew out a check, and gently put it in front of Su Tian.
"Tell me where is the girl who went to the aquarium with you that day, this is yours."
Su Tian looked down and saw that it was a check for 10,000 yuan.
She raised her eyebrows: "Ten thousand?"
Tang Xifeng smiled, took out another one, folded it on top of it, and said, "I know she must have told you not to say anything. How about another hundred thousand?"
The store was instantly quiet, especially those customers who looked at Tang Xifeng with incredible eyes.
Liu Kaiyan was annoyed when Tang Qifeng took out the check for the first time, seeing that he actually took out the second one, he said angrily: "If you don't want to buy anything, please let me go..."
Su Tian gently pulled Liu Kaiyan with the hand underneath, Liu Kaiyan closed his mouth and looked at Tang Qifeng with very unfriendly eyes.
Su Tian picked up the check, pointed to the side, and said with a smile, "It's next door."
After three seconds of silence, there was an instant burst of laughter in the store.
Tang Qifeng blushed slightly, and said awkwardly, "Thank you."
Then hurriedly turned around and left the dessert shop.
Su Tian shook his head and sighed, "It's really a fool with a lot of money."
