"People live in this world, some live to save face, and some live to make face..."
On the TV, Uncle Zhao was explaining his principles, Qin Guanglin and He Wu were nestled on the sofa, and little Anya was sleeping soundly in the stroller next to him.
The three-month-old child eats and sleeps all day, eats and sleeps, and cries twice for nothing. At first, it is annoying to raise, but after getting used to it, it is really easy to feed.
Unlike adults, want too much, think too much.
"well… "
Qin Guanglin put his arms around He Wu, smoothed her hair with his hands, and suddenly sighed.
"Why are you sighing?" He Wu glanced at him.
"Do we count as living as a lizi?"
"You great painter, return your face?"
"It's all a false name on the Internet. Who knows me on the street... a broken car worth more than 200,000 yuan, a small three-bedroom house, and I don't go out every day, just like an unemployed young man."
"Middle-aged jobless." Why not correct him, "Isn't it good?"
"Okay, of course it's good to live our little life... That's why I sigh, I'm too tired of chasing face."
Qin Guanglin suddenly thought of Sun Wen, who had been working hard since college, gnashing his teeth every day to get ahead in order to live a good life.
I haven't seen him since the wedding, I only occasionally read messages from him in Moments, and I don't know what's going on now.
"By the way, Xiao Yu will come over later, you go and get your hair done, you are not afraid of people laughing like a chicken coop..."
"I don't. I'll go back to the bedroom for confinement later. Just don't open the door."
"Who is in confinement for three months... you are so lazy."
Before watching the TV, the wechat had already rang, Qin Guanglin got up and went downstairs to pick up someone, why not scratch his head with his hair unkempt after getting up, and go back to the bedroom to get under the quilt, just like a relative suddenly coming from a dead house.
"Where's your daughter? Come and take a look." Xiao Yu searched around first when he entered the door. The daughter of Qin Guanglin's family hasn't shown her face since she was born, and she hasn't even caught a glimpse of her. It's a mess..."
"Look at the fart, put on your mask, sit there, don't move around."
Qin Guanglin turned on the mode of denying relatives, "The outside has not calmed down yet, and it is already risky to let you in, don't move... I will find a paper cup."
"Hey, you..." Xiao Yu's egg hurts, "I see people are shopping outside, as for being so cautious... Fuck, how long have you been out of the house? Your face is round!"
"Isn't it normal to gain weight during the Chinese New Year? It doesn't look like you are still dry and haven't grown at all."
"You call gaining weight a growth?"
"Know what, this is called strong, not fat."
While talking nonsense, Qin Guanglin took a paper cup to help him pour a glass of water, sat on the sofa and pushed it over, and said, "How have you been in the past few months? Didn't you say to help people make some video clips before, so you won't be too hip."
"Hey, don't mention it. In the past few months, I have helped people write papers, cut videos, and paid bills... earning change everywhere. That Zhou Nan helped people write soft articles and advertisements, which is barely enough."
The fisherman knows everything except fishing. He has done a lot of things in the past few months at home, but he is unstable and occasionally cheated—fortunately, he has a good head and has never been cheated of money, but he was cheated for nothing It's also very annoying, and the hair hasn't fallen out after a day of hard work.
"I asked you to think about picking up the pen a long time ago. If you don't listen, do you regret it now?"
Qin Guanglin smiled, got up and went to the study to take out the notebook, Xiao Yu also took out a stack of papers from his bag, pushed it over after he came out, and said: "I dug out the tools last night, the manuscript that I rushed out overnight, according to I drew that manga of yours, show me if I can make a living at this level."
While talking, Xiao Yu leaned on the sofa and let out a long sigh, "If it doesn't work, I can only draw a notebook and send it to that..."
"Stop, aren't you afraid of getting caught?"
"I'm not afraid just to brush the edges... I just have to avoid Zhou Nan, it's too tiring."
"You still have to hide from your son."
It's too embarrassing for a thirty-year-old man to rely on ghs to make a living. Unless there is really no other way, Xiao Yu definitely doesn't want to do it.
While talking, Qin Guanglin's cell phone rang. He looked at the strange number on it and thought for a while, then stood on the balcony to answer it.
"Hello."
"Hello, is this Mr. Qin Guanglin?"
"It's me, who are you?"
"My side is Penguin Express..."
Xiao Yu used Qin Guanglin's computer to flip through the welfare system and contract standards displayed on the website of Chen Rui's company platform. After staying for a while, seeing Qin Guanglin coming back from the balcony, he casually asked, "What's wrong?"
"Someone is digging the wall." Qin Guanglin seemed to have just come back, touched his head and thought about it, and suddenly smiled, "Look first, I'll make a call later."
He found Chen Rui's number from his mobile phone and dialed it, then turned back to the balcony and leaned against the railing to wait for him to answer.
"What's the matter? Call me all of a sudden..." Chen Rui's voice sounded like he hadn't woken up yet. It was already afternoon, and he probably stayed up late last night.
"Someone called me just now, someone who called himself Penguin Express, and said he wanted to talk about this comic in my hand."
"What?!"
Chen Rui came to his senses, paused and said, "What did they say?"
"Don't be nervous, I didn't say anything, just chatted briefly, saying that this comic has great potential... Are they the only ones who were eyeing the copyright of this novel before?" Qin Guanglin asked.
This manga adapted from He Wu's novel has published its first serialization since New Year's Day, and it has only been three months now. With the popularity left by the previous "Wife", and fans of the original novel, it has won It's quite popular, but there are a thousand protagonists in the hearts of a thousand people. Not everyone in the original book party likes this comic adaptation. The ratings are not as high as "Wife". Many fans attracted by the original book are disappointed. The mouth is fragrant, and it is much worse than the word-of-mouth of "Wife".
Fortunately, during the Chinese New Year, someone exposed the two of them, a novel author and a manga author. They are a couple. The main content of "Wife" is the daily life of the two of them, which made many fans of the original work stop, and read it again with a different mindset. Only to find out, hey, it smells so good.
This word of mouth has only raised a lot, and sometimes the original party who just came feels that the protagonist in the comic does not match the image in their minds, and when they leave a comment, they will be popularized: This is the person described by the author. The couple, When this guy paints, his wife must be by his side to give pointers, and Sister Hua will definitely not let him paint blindly.
Coupled with Chen Rui's intentional resource inclination, the recommendation has not been broken, and the seedlings are only three months old, and they already have the momentum of a big fire. Now Penguin Kuaiman, who has been staring at this comic for a long time, can't stand it anymore. .
"They said that there are seven original novels, and I can divide them into many seasons. It is impossible to change the platform now, but I hope we can talk about the next season, and the conditions are easy to negotiate." Qin Guanglin couldn't help laughing, this is the first time he has been poached. .
Explain what? It shows that he is valuable!
It's not a painter who is a fat house and a street painter, but a capable one.
"They were the ones who were eyeing this copyright at the beginning." Chen Rui sighed, and said in a low voice: "Their resources... I don't need to say that you know it too."
"Of course, push the entire platform, oh, you will become a god." Qin Guanglin held his mobile phone to the side, and glanced at the lush big locust tree in the community. The breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and Chen Rui disappeared from the phone only his breathing could be heard.
"Why don't you talk?"
"... What do you think?" Chen Rui asked.
"What the hell, I've drawn so many, can I still change companies halfway?" Qin Guanglin laughed.
Become a god... With his current popularity and the high reputation of "Wife" as a basis, if he switches to an industry giant to make a high-quality and high reputation comic, and promote it through all channels, it is likely to directly become a god— Even if it can't be sealed, the huge profits are not comparable to Chen Rui's platform.
But he and Chen Rui are not only cooperative, but also partners.
"As for the money, just enough is enough. My wife took me to donate some during the Chinese New Year. Fortunately, there is a tax exemption policy, otherwise I feel sorry for me... Don't worry, this movie has to end with you anyway. I said at the beginning Alright."
"Thank you." Chen Rui spit out two words over there, pondered for a moment and continued: "But... it may be difficult in the future, you have to be prepared."
"What preparation?"
"The development of our company has been accelerating, and the current scale is only stabilized when I deliberately slow it down... The company's welfare system is off to a bad start, and they won't just sit by and watch us develop."
He paused, "Now this is a signal."
There is only so much meat in the pot, some have more, some have less, and some can only drink soup.
Now he took out the meat and shared it with the painters, without thinking about the consequences.
