PS: The two chapters are combined into one.

Song Wen has a habit of buying the latest issue of comic magazines every week, such as "Alloy Club", "Fantasy Night of the Tang Dynasty", "Fist of Fury", "Comic Rabbit"...

These are the best comic magazines in China at the moment. As a cartoonist, Song Wen must maintain inspiration and a keen sense of market trends. Reading comics in magazines is the easiest way.

There are two main modes of comics serialization, one is mainly online serialization, supplemented by magazines, and the second is mainly magazine serialization, supplemented by the Internet.

Generally speaking, the second model is more difficult, because the cost of serialization in magazines is higher. In order to control profits, publishers must strictly control the comics serialized, so the quality of comics that can be serialized in magazines is basically guaranteed. Serialization is

It is a long process, and if the standard drops during the process, the fate of being cut in half will immediately come. This forces comic authors to keep high pressure and standard online at all times.

Song Wen's "Lamp Burner 1" is being made into an anime, and she is currently serializing "Lamp Burner 2", which has come to an end, and she has begun to conceive the plot of "Lamp Burner 3".

The first work was very successful, so it was picked up by Pujiang Film Studio, but "Lampburner 2" has reached a higher level, with higher popularity and better response. It is not only producing animations, but also releasing a stand-alone book.

.

"I want to invite Zhang Tan to dinner when I find time. I want to thank him for helping me think of the plot." Song Wen thought while running in the morning. The plot of "Lamp Burner 2" was conceived by her and Zhang Tan together, and readers praised the creativity.

Most of the ideas came from Zhang Tan.

As usual, she maintained the habit of morning jogging every day. After her morning jog, she stopped by to buy breakfast. When she walked home, she had finished her breakfast, took a shower, and started her day's work.

She is an independent cartoonist, one person is a studio, and she maintains a rhythm of updating once a week.

"Boss, are there any new comics?" After my usual morning run that day, I was returning from the finish line, passing by the newsstand, and asked the boss who had just opened the door and was sorting out books and periodicals.

"The new "Fantasy Night of the Tang Dynasty" is here, do you want it?" the boss asked.

"Have a copy."

"20 yuan."

After getting "Fantasy Night of the Tang Dynasty", Song Wen walked back and flipped through the magazine. The covers were still "The Demon Suppressing Tower" and "Flowers in the World".

These two comic strips are the main works of "Fantasy Night of the Tang Dynasty" and are very popular, and Song Wen is also following them.

She glanced at the catalog to see if there were any newly serialized comics.

"Huh? There are three new comics being serialized, "The Best in the World", "The Prince", "Coco"..."

Song Wen did not read it immediately, but first read "The Devil's Tower" and "Flowers in the World", then had breakfast, returned home, took a bath, sat in the study, and then started reading the three newly serialized comics.

The painting style of "The Best in the World" is very sharp, which fits its name. "Flowers in the World" is very cute, it is a love story comic, and "Coco" has a strong ancient style and bright and bold colors.

The first thing Song Wen read was "Coco". She quickly turned to the homepage and checked the author. The style, rhythm and story clearly didn't look like a novice's.

"Little Red Horse Comics Studio?" Song Wen had never heard of it, but since it was the work of the studio, it must be good.

10 minutes later.

"Why is it gone??? It went to the underworld!" Song Wen was immersed in the plot, but as soon as she was fascinated by it, she realized it was gone!

There are many comic book lovers like Song Wen on this day, and "Coco" has attracted everyone with its unique painting style and plot.

——

At night, Huangjia Village.

Aunt Huang's house, Zhang Tan is having dinner at her house tonight, and Huang Liangliang is also there.

"Not in good spirits?" Huang Liangliang asked.

"Great."

"Shit, look at you, you look like you've been hit by frost."

As soon as she finished speaking, the three people eating looked at her. Aunt Huang said: "Can you, a girl, speak more politely? Everyone is eating! You should learn from Zhang Tan."

Huang Liangliang whispered: "Other people's children."

"What did you say?"

"I said Zhang Tan is so handsome."

"..."

"Have you turned on the air conditioner? It's a bit hot. Mom, you see Zhang Tan is sweating. Turn off the air conditioner. It's quite warm at home."

"Zhang Tan, do you want to turn off the air conditioner?"

"Turn it off, Aunt Huang."

Aunt Huang went to turn off the air conditioner, and Zhang Tan wiped his forehead. He was indeed sweating while eating, and it was a bit stuffy. He is a young man, and his age is like burning coals.

After dinner, Zhang Tan sat for a while and played two games of chess with Huang Liangliang. After losing 200 yuan, he left with Aunt Huang and went back to Little Red Horse Academy together.

Huang Liliu glanced at the kitchen, then got up and walked: "I'm going too, I'm going too, I'm going to see that naughty guy Liliu."

Uncle Huang shouted from behind: "Berry, don't leave, come here and help me wash the dishes."

Huang Liangliang pretended not to hear it and closed the door behind her.

Aunt Huang said: "Give the money back to Zhang Tan! You are so embarrassed."

Huang Liangliang said confidently: "Why am I embarrassed? I earn money based on my ability."

Aunt Huang mocked: "...No wonder you are single until now, a straight woman."

Huang Liangliang said: "Zhang Tan said that I am quite plump and that my figure is very attractive to men, right Zhang Tan?"

"Ahem, cough, cough~~~" Zhang Tan almost choked to death on his own saliva. Huang Liangmei was too strong in what he said. He did say it, but it was so embarrassing when she said it to her parents. Wasn't she embarrassed?

"Aunt Huang, I remembered that I have something else to do. You guys should go back first. I'll buy some things and I'll go back to the academy later." Zhang Tan said.

"Go ahead and go back early, it's cold outside." Aunt Huang warned, taking Huang Liangmei away.

Huang Liangliang kept looking back, thinking that Zhang Tan might have gone on a tryst with a girl. No way, she had known Zhang Tan for more than 20 years, and the impression he left on her was so profound that it was difficult to change it all at once.

"Don't look at it, Zhang Tan can't even stand you."

"Most men really can't stand me."

Aunt Huang rolled up her sleeves angrily, wanting to teach her a lesson.

Huang Liangliang laughed loudly and jumped into the teahouse in the alley next to it. It was very popular and warm inside.

"Aren't you going to see Liliu?" Aunt Huang asked.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What's so interesting about that naughty boy Liuliu? Go ahead, Mr. Principal, I see Xiaolan here, I'll have tea and chat with them."

…

Zhang Tan put on a red scarf, wore a coat, and walked in the deep and quiet alley. The lights on the houses on both sides were on. Occasionally, someone's voice came from the cracks in the doors and windows, dogs barked in the yard, and cats came from the alley.

Walking leisurely out of the shadows...

Unknowingly, he walked downstairs to a four-story building. The walls were covered with ivy. The windows on the first floor were lit, the lights on the second floor were on, and the lights on the third floor were on. There was a message coming from the windows on the first floor.

The sound of the news network came out, the voice of people came from the second floor, and the sound of swords clashing in the TV series came from the third floor.

Only the windows on the fourth floor were pitch black.

Zhang Tan just glanced at it, and without stopping, he went to the convenience store nearby and bought a pack of batteries. The remote control for the air conditioner at home was out of power, and he couldn't survive the night without turning on the air conditioner.

——

In a remote mountain village in Sichuan, at around seven o'clock in the evening, the small mountain village in the mountains was lit up with lights. Compared with the boundless and dark mountains around it, it seemed as if it was about to be swallowed up at any time.

These lights are squeezed together, as if they are warming each other and keeping them alive in the cold wind.

Walking north along the center of the lights, passing a stone arch bridge, and then walking along the dry rice fields for about 500 meters, you will come to a red brick house with only one floor.

This red brick house is a semi-finished product, not even a semi-finished product. In rural areas, people usually build a three-story building, repaint the interior, and paste porcelain plates on the red bricks on the exterior walls. It is not as good as in the city.

It's a small building, but it's still considered a well-off home, and the whole family lives there happily.

But this small house only laid the foundation and built the first floor. Before the planned second and third floors were built, the man in the family passed away, leaving behind this "unfinished building" and a pile of piles in the yard.

Sand and red bricks for building a house.

For several years, the red bricks have been piled up neatly, with canvas pressed on the sand to prevent them from being blown away by the wind and eroded by water. This clear appearance makes it seem as if someone will use them at dawn tomorrow.

The "Unfinished Building" is located on a hill, with mountains and forests at its back, and rolling paddy fields in front of it. However, it is winter now, and the paddy fields are empty and lonely. In the dark night, unknown small animals can be heard from time to time.

365 days a year, the unfinished building is always dark most of the time, as if no one lives there, but today, the lights are brightly lit, and laughter can be heard from time to time.

"Mom~~ Xiaobai is back, I want to go and play with her." On the left side of the unfinished building, on another hill across two paddy fields, a three-story building, the most common in rural areas, was built.

A little boy with a stocky appearance stood at the door and looked towards the unfinished building. The evening breeze blew in his face, making him shiver a few times. However, it also brought the laughter and voice of a little girl, making him reluctant to turn back.

Home, I just want to run out.

A woman came out and called him into the house: "I'll go see Xiao Baitian tomorrow. I have to talk to my grandma and I don't have time to talk to you. Dunzi, come in quickly, you have a runny nose!!"

At this moment, in the unfinished building, Xiaobai was nestled in the arms of his grandma, chattering to her about what he had experienced this year.

Grandma's hair was all white, with a kind smile on her face. She held her in her arms and rubbed her watermelon head from time to time.

Whenever this happens, Xiaobai will squint his eyes and show an expression of enjoyment.

The wrinkles on her face showed that she had a rich life experience, but now she was listening to Xiaobai chattering about the outside world, and she couldn't understand much of it.

Malanhua sat aside and listened with a smile, interjecting words from time to time.
