The car from the Imperial Metropolitan Police Department delivered Su Tian's mother and daughter to the door of the hotel in person, scaring the hotel doorman into thinking something was wrong with them.
Because they met three annoying guys, they were delayed for a long time. On the way, Liu Kaiyan and the others sent text messages several times to ask about the situation. Su Tian had already told them briefly, telling everyone not to worry.
How can you not worry
You Pinyan had already greeted the eighteenth generation of ancestors who dared to bully Tiantian's bad guys in the room, and secretly decided that no matter where Tiantian goes next time, she must follow her, to help Tiantian vent her anger, and to kill those scumbags people.
Xi Yun was also sitting beside him angrily grabbing a pen and drawing on the paper. He didn't know what he was planning. Then he ran up to Liu Kaiyan and told him to let Liu Kaiyan draw the bad guys in the comics. , He didn't care about the fact that he ate his more than 60 yuan skewers before.
Liu Kaiyan: "..."
In the end, the two had a happy deal.
After the deal was completed, Liu Kaiyan silently covered his face.
Why does he feel that his IQ has been lowered to the level of elementary school students.
But we didn't just do this in the hotel.
When Su Tian came back, the three came up and checked her and He Qingwan up and down. After making sure that they were all right, You Pinyan poked Liu Kaiyan to make him speak. Xi Yun hugged her face and looked at Su Tian mysteriously. laugh.
Su Tian blinked, not understanding what good deeds everyone did so mysteriously.
Liu Kaiyan coughed, and said, "We went out this morning to find a publishing house, who provides editing, proofreading, printing and other services, and will send us the electronic manuscript in a few days."
Su Tian: "Wow, so fast?"
You Pinyan nodded proudly.
Xi Yun also stretched out his hand to praise: "After we receive the electronic manuscript, we will see if it is done beautifully, and then we will decide whether to do it or not."
Su Tian nodded his head: "Smart."
Xi Yun: "Hey hey."
He Qingwan was also happy for them. To celebrate, he invited everyone to a seafood buffet. It was Xi Yun's first time eating seafood, and he was curious about everything, and he kept asking Liu Kaiyan to draw it in the comics.
Liu Kaiyan: "..."
Ever since the little kid graciously ignored the sixty yuan, he was almost bored to death.
After holding a conch for countless times and asking if it could be drawn in a comic, Mr. Liu said:
"You still think I owe you sixty dollars."
Xi Yun: "Why?"
Liu Kaiyan: "You are too noisy."
Xi Yun was stunned for a moment and realized that he was so angry that he became a puffer fish. He threw himself into Su Tian's arms and aimed his butt at Liu Kaiyan.
Others were watching the joke.
Heh heh heh, this person is really annoying, he only gave his sister part of it with great reluctance, and don't even think about saying a word to her in the future.
The richest man must practice what he says, and sure enough, on the way back, Liu Kaiyan couldn't say a word to Su Tian, and they were all interrupted maliciously by someone.
After returning to Los Angeles, Su Tian gave the piggy bracelet to Wang Haoxue.
Wang Haoxue liked it so much that she hugged Su Tian for a long time.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but she thinks this bracelet is cheaper than the 180,000 yuan one, it's super cute, and it matches her very well.
She is going to start saving money, and when Su Tian's birthday comes, she will also give her the most beautiful gift, the kind that she can wear for a lifetime!
Immediately afterwards, the police station notified Su Tian to take Xi Yun to take notes.
Xi Yun didn't see Xi Zhiqiang's face, and according to what Su Tian said, he concealed the history of Xi Zhiqiang asking him to steal things, and picked himself clean.
While Xi Yun was taking notes inside, Su Tian and Officer Liu were talking outside.
Police Officer Liu was very experienced and could almost guess Su Tian's purpose. He closed the office door, poured tea, and told her the situation:
"At first, Xi Zhiqiang insisted that Xi Yun stole the key, but later he was frightened by his brothers and softened, admitting the fact of the theft. Based on the amount of money, it is estimated that he will be sentenced to several years in prison."
Su Tian: "What about Xi Yun's custody?"
Didn't it say that Xi Yun's mother appeared some time ago
Officer Liu: "We have already called the police from other places and asked them to contact Xi Yun's mother. If they can be contacted, Xi Yun's custody will probably be handed over to his mother. If they cannot be contacted, priority will be given according to the procedure. Consider his other relatives and give it to you in the end."
Su Tian knew this, and she actually hoped that Xi Yun could live with her mother.
Maternal love cannot be replaced by anyone else's concern.
After a while, they finally received the electronic version of the manuscript from the publishing house.
Su Tian has a computer at home. After school that day, everyone gathered around the computer to watch Su Tian open the email and download the electronic manuscript.
The first thing you see is the cover.
At this time, the network speed was still very poor, and it took a long time to load a large picture. Everyone watched with bated breath as the page gradually expanded from the top.
The first thing that was exposed was a line of white mixed with dazzling golden light. Su Tian was very impressed by this touch of whiteness. It only appeared at the end of the manga when Kaka chose to stay in the city.
The warm white light slowly transitions to light dark red, and the characters in the circus, such as lions, tigers, clowns,... The red is getting deeper and deeper, and the images of the characters in the circus are also getting darker and darker. Funny, in the end, is a thick red that belongs only to the circus, and the circus owner with a whip.
Kaka is in the center of the cover, running from the red to the warm white light in a galloping posture.
Next to the cover, there is a cartoon font, the publication name of the comic
— "The Adventures of Kaka".
Then there are other signs, such as author, publisher, book number and so on.
Everyone looked at it carefully for a long time. The composition is very beautiful, and the effect is also very impactful. It belongs to the color that can be seen at a glance on the bookstall. Moreover, the designer has considered the age and psychology of the audience, and added on the cover. A lot of interesting content, people can't help but open it when they see the cover.
Su Tian liked this cover very much, simply too much.
The designer must have carefully read and understood the inner meaning of "Kaka" before drawing it.
Su Tian asked: "Do you like this cover?"
The three behind them all nodded in unison.
Then came the following content. After reading all of them, I didn't find any faults.
Whether it's typography or design, everything is so good that it doesn't seem like a work that ordinary publishing houses can produce.
You Pinyan even wondered if Mr. You helped them secretly, so he called the old man on the spot, but the old man was confused and said no, he almost swore.
You Pinyan's character was almost carved out of the same mold as her grandfather's. If the old man helped, he would definitely not hide it. Since he said no, it should be that he didn't make a move.
As for the others, no one could think of anyone else who would help them.
So, everyone happily accepted the fact that they were lucky and happened to meet a powerful cover designer.
But the four of them are not representative, and the market has the final say on whether readers like it or not.
Su Tian downloaded the manuscript, deleted the title of "The Adventures of Kaka", took it to a copy shop, spent a lot of money to print a copy, and handed it to Xi Yun after simple binding.
It's time for our future richest man to make a big appearance!
On this day, Xi Yun brought the untitled paperback version of "The Adventures of Kaka" and several other popular comics to school together. When class was over, he took out a few comics and put them on the table. All the students saw it.
Zhang Xiaoqiang at the same table: "Wow, Xi Yun, didn't you say you don't read robots? You still sell comics about robots... Hey, what is this?"
Before Zhang Xiaoqiang picked up the robot, his eyes were attracted by the red comic book below. He put down his favorite robot and picked up the new comic book.
The cover looks good, he thought, or a circus, and a puppy, could it be... Kaka
Just as he was about to ask, Xi Yun covered his mouth.
Xi Yun: "Keep your voice down."
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded repeatedly.
When Xi Yun let go of his hand, he approached mysteriously and asked, "Is it Kaka? Is it Kaka?"
Xi Yun hissed and asked, "Which of these two covers do you like better?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the robot, then at Kaka, and pointed to Kaka without hesitation.
Although it's true that he likes robots very much, it's obvious that Kaka's cover looks better! And he picked up the robot and was drawn to it.
Xi Yun: "Don't make a sound, I'll show you after I finish the experiment."
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded repeatedly.
Xi Yun brought a few comic books to the podium, knocked on the blackboard like a little adult, saw the students all looked over, and said: "I bought a few comic books, I want to exchange them with everyone, you all bring your own comic book?"
Comic books are quick to read, and the price is not cheap. Everyone likes to buy one book for each person, and then read it in turn. Hearing Xi Yun's question, he naturally asked him what he bought.
Xi Yun put a few comics on it.
Because of the distance, Kaka's cover is more conspicuous, and everyone can see it at a glance.
Several boys ran up and asked, "What is this? Why is there no name?"
Xi Yun pointed to several comics and asked, "Which one do you choose?"
The boy struggled for a moment, he had heard of several comics, but this cover...
Xi Yun didn't have to wait for him to answer, because the other students had already gathered around curiously, and began to discuss in a hurry, why there is no name? Is it Kaka? The cover is beautiful, by Barabara.
As for the other comics, there are very few people who care about them.
Xi Yun smiled quietly.
Great, he'll soon be selling dolls for money!
Su Tian was also very satisfied with the reactions of the primary school students, so he called the publisher back and expressed some of his own opinions.
In today’s comics market, the main consumer group is preschool children, and the cartoons are very young, all of which are similar to "Little Tadpole Looking for Mom". Even if there are occasional ones that are not so young, they are just For younger elementary school students.
But Su Tian knew that comics could be used by all age groups.
Really excellent comics should be read by people of different ages and have different perceptions.
"Kaka" already has such a prototype.
Su Tian told them that the groups that Kaka is currently dealing with are mainly high-grade primary school students, while taking into account the low-grade children. When distributing goods, they must be targeted.
The publisher signaled that he understood.
When I first designed the cover, the style was not very childish.
The manga begins to officially enter production.
On this day, Su Tian and Liu Kaiyan were helping Ms. He in the store and answered the call from Police Officer Liu.
"Sweet, remember what Uncle Liu told you before, the Ministry of Public Security will do a special program on the counterfeit currency case in Los Angeles, comrades from the Imperial City Police Department will come over and interview you at that time, when is convenient for you, I'll ask someone to make arrangements."
Su Tian: "..."
Ji Shaoheng is coming so soon!
She said: "As long as I don't go to school, I can do it anytime."
Officer Liu: "Okay, I see."
Su Tian asked, "When will they arrive?"
Officer Liu: "The notification said it was tomorrow morning. If there are no accidents, it should not change."
Su Tian: "So fast."
Officer Liu: "After all, he is a comrade in the imperial capital, and his work efficiency must be better than that of a small place like ours."
Su Tian laughed.
In terms of grinding foreign labor, the government departments of the imperial capital are no better than other places. As for why it is so fast this time, enmmmmm...
After exchanging simple greetings, Su Tian hung up the phone, and immediately turned to He Qingwan and said, "Mom, Uncle Ji is coming tomorrow."
He Qingwan froze for a moment, then lost her voice: "So fast."
Su Tian: "We've all been back for so long. I guess this feature film is for the New Year's Eve, to praise the Ministry of Public Security. The filming is good, and the post-production is very troublesome. If it doesn't start before the year, it won't be released."
The Su family was also in the political circles, and He Qingwan understood when she thought about it, it was already November, and it really couldn't be delayed any longer.
He Qingwan: "Then we have to treat Director Ji to dinner, and thank him for helping us so many times."
Su Tian: "Of course."
When Su Tian and He Qingwan were talking, Liu Kaiyan stood by and listened quietly, remembering Ji Shaoheng and He Qingwan's few contacts, such obvious affection...
After Su Tian finished speaking, he turned around and saw Liu Kaiyan looking at him, so he winked at him, signaling him not to point it out.
Liu Kaiyan smiled, and also winked at her, indicating that he knew and would not say anything.
In this world, if the first person he thanked was Su Tian, then He Qingwan was the second person he thanked.
Auntie He is such a gentle and kind person, she naturally deserves the best man.
That Director Ji... looks pretty good so far, but I don't know what will happen in the future.
Mr. Liu doesn't have the idea of pioneering for men because he is also a man, after all
—Men are really fickle.
Early the next morning, the Los Angeles police and the Los Angeles County Government lined up at the gate of the police station to welcome the comrades from the imperial capital.
The Los Angeles counterfeit currency case was a major case cracked by the Los Angeles police, and even the leadership team of this session is well-known, and if it is made into a feature film, the impact will be far-reaching, and everyone attaches great importance to it.
Soon, a convoy got off the highway, with police cars in front and media cars behind.
When the first car stopped, the man in uniform got out of the car and shook hands with the local government and police officers enthusiastically.
When it was Officer Liu's turn, Ji Shaoheng said, "We meet again."
Officer Liu: "When I went to the imperial capital, you gave me the medal. Thank you Director Ji."
Ji Shaoheng smiled: "You have already thanked me."
Thanking you in action is much more cost-effective than thanking you verbally.
