Chapter 148: You woke up my dream

It was late at night, and the lights were still on in Meng Huo's new home.

Chen Jie took a shower from the bathroom, wiped her hair with a towel, then sat on the sofa in the living room, and took out her cell phone to surf the Internet.

She logged into her chat software, and several windows popped up with tidi.

"Sister Jie, have you watched "Pokemon" today? It's really great! But those women with excessive hormone secretion actually went to the square to have a gathering. We secretly followed the people who went there and had a cold sweat, and nothing big happened."

"Sister, I heard that Teacher He Xi has released a new animation. I didn't see it today. They all said it was very good. Can you help me find a recorded video? Other sisters must have hidden it. Go and tell me. I know this behavior is wrong - but that idiot TV station did not replay it at all!"

"Jie'er, Mikoto and the others have made the square occupation sports and play very well. There will definitely be reports in the newspaper tomorrow! We will also hold an event. If this continues, they will increase and increase, and we will lose!"

After seeing several messages, Chen Jie wiped her hair with one hand and quickly typed and replied with the other hand. She didn't mind how others played. As long as no one approached Meng Huo, Chen Jie didn't want to pay attention.

However, she still used a different method to encourage her sisters, and after comforting her, she closed the chat software and opened the space to read.

Chen Jie's personal space is very clean, without any comments or photos. The account name is "Pastor A from a small place". She doesn't play with the space much, and she applies for an account to see other people's spaces.

This time she entered He Xi's space. Meng Huo did not post the photos on the space, but this space is still a popular space on the Internet, and many people leave messages every day.

Due to the broadcast of "Pokemon", there are a lot of people leaving messages tonight.

"Teacher He Xi. This is the 999th flower I have dedicated to you."

"Wu*tou, where did Afeng offend you? He Xi, why do you always steal his headlines!"

"Teacher He Xi, I drew a portrait for you. See if I have the talent to be a cartoonist!"

"Real nude *chat video* video. Please add Penguin 8*675..."

Apart from most of the messages that are nonsense, some of them are very serious.

"Teacher He Xi, I like "Pokemon". The pictures and songs give people a refreshing feeling, and the story is very interesting and will not be boring at all. I hope you can continue to draw it well."

This message received many replies from people, and most of them expressed their praise for the animation, which made Chen Jie feel very happy to see it.

She went to He Xi's space just to see how others praised Meng Huo.

Meng Huo did not sleep at this time, and Alice decided to stay at night, so Meng Huo discussed new themes and new comics with her in a study twice as big as in the past.

"I think the idea of ​​Oriental Fantasy Village is very good...but the possibility is too low." Alice said: "This subject requires many people to create together to become active. Our comics are limited, and even if everyone draws it, they will not be able to draw any special features."

There are too many characters in "Oriental Fantasy Country". There are no barrage games in this world to attract popularity. Fan creation is not well developed, and Alice is not optimistic about its operability at all.

"Relatively speaking, I think it's a great idea to open the copyright of the Pokemon comic!" She was satisfied with Meng Huo's other idea: "Now that the animation is airing, it will definitely be very popular to launch similar comics!"

"But you really want to let go of copyright?"

Alice asked cautiously, this is a very important question. If Meng Huo let go of copyright and other authors can freely use elves to perform secondary creation, then the cartoonists of Phoenix Company will be very happy.

"Yeah, no problem."

Meng Huo nodded. He didn't care about the copyright of the comics. The most profitable thing about "Pokemon" is the games and peripheral products. The comics can't even compare with the profits of animations, so he doesn't see them at all.

However, the copyright is only given to Phoenix Company. The company's cartoonists can use it at will, but the cartoonists in other places cannot do it.

"Okay, I have figured out the details of these two topics." After the discussion, Alice took out the file bag and put up the settings and information prepared by Meng Huo. She smiled and said, "I'll take it back to show my dad first. What I just said was my thoughts. If he has any objections, he would have to call you over."

"no problem."

Meng Huo originally planned to discuss with Xu Jing, and it was nothing wrong with Alice's notification. He took out another manuscript and handed it to Alice.

"This is my new comic."

"I'll put it away first." Alice looked through a few briefly, then also put it away: "It's too late tonight. I'll take it home tomorrow to take a closer look. I'll give you advice if you have time."

She is becoming more and more proficient in comic editorial work and can already give Meng Huo some unique suggestions.

"Also, the new comic... are you going to hire an assistant?"

Alice asked, she wanted to speak but stopped, which aroused Meng Huo's curiosity. He said, "The other editors told me about the assistant, and I should ask for it. Is there any problem?"

"Well..." Alice thought for a while, and said, "Before the Chinese New Year, I investigated the matter of Zhongxia comics, and then found that you don't need to hire an assistant for the time being."

"What does this mean?"

Meng Huo felt strange. Alice was still encouraging him to hire an assistant last year. Why did it change this year? What would make her attitude change so much.

“Have you heard of a digital tablet?”

Alice asked.

Meng Huo was slightly stunned. Of course he knew about the digital tablet. In his previous life, some cartoonists would use this thing to draw. This is a tool for computer drawing. Did Alice suggest that he use computers to make comics?

However, Meng Huo has investigated that the world is well-developed, but the comics industry has been developing for a short time, so he has not found a tool specifically for cartoonists to draw.

"The cartoonists at Zhongxia Company are all using digital tablets and computers. Their computers have special comic processing software that can handle post-production work quickly."

Alice explained to Meng Huo that the hardware equipment for computer drawing has been completed long ago, but these equipment began to serve advertising design, game design and other work, and the software does not support comics.

After the establishment of Zhongxia Comics Company, designers gradually enhanced the comic software support for computers and digital tablets, and now some more professional computer drawing tools have emerged.

The so-called computer drawing does not mean that you can draw comics with a mouse. It actually means that cartoonists can draw directly on digital tablets and other input devices without relying on paper. The drawn images enter the computer and then modify them on the computer.

This also means that computer drawing is still a cartoonist’s painting skills.

But the better thing about computer drawings is that they are convenient for modification. When a cartoonist draws comics on paper, a drop of ink makes mistakes or shakes his hands, and a whole picture will be done. If the drawings are wrong on the computer, you can modify them repeatedly.

The most important thing is that the post-processing process of computer drawing is very convenient, just like the two assistants Meng Huo invited: Hua Meng and Tomato Teachers are mainly engaged in post-processing on the first draft, and processing is very easy to complete on the computer.

"Then I won't ask for an assistant, please buy me some equipment!"

It is difficult for traditional cartoonists to accept new things, but Meng Huo does not have the pressure in this regard. He pursues high efficiency. He does not use computer drawings, and he is very fast, just draw the first draft on paper.

Use a scanner to enter the computer for the first draft, and then ask the assistants to use the computer to post the outlets and post-processing. The work efficiency will be greatly increased, and the existing assistants will be enough.

As for the position of assistants that other original cartoonists hope for - Meng Huo feels that the problem of the cartoonist should not be solved by being his assistant, but chooses other routes, such as the new theme given to Alice.

After deciding to buy computer drawing equipment, Alice took the notes and left. She went to take a shower. Meng Huo stretched and found that the lights were still on in the living room, so he walked over.

In the living room, Chen Jie was lying on the sofa and fell asleep.

"Why sleep here..." Meng Huo walked over and shook her shoulders: "Chen Jie, wake up, you will catch a cold when you sleep here!"

Chen Jie's sleep was not very deep, and she was quickly woken up. She struggled, wandered for a while, and then pointed at Meng Huo.

"Meng Huo..."

"Um?"

"You woke up my dream!"

"Uh..." Meng Huo was a little surprised, and then smiled bitterly, "What dream?"

Chen Jie patted her face and became much more conscious.

"A dream of a doomsday." She pouted and said, "I dreamed of a huge meteor hitting the earth, and nothing could stop it. People all over the world were in panic and ran around."

"It seems like I've watched this in that movie." Meng Huo thought about it. It was already a matter of his previous life: "And then... you ran away?"

"I was in school, but when I heard the news, I ran out. The whole Ninghai was full of people, the streets were chaotic, and there were all kinds of crimes. I'll look for you everywhere..."

Chen Jie was silent for a moment, and she didn't want to say Taibai, and continued, "You are my fellow villager in Ninghai. I kept shouting and running, and I couldn't find you. Then the sky turned dark and the meteor fell..."

"Then the world was destroyed?... This is really a tragedy!" Meng Huo laughed: "You have to thank me, I rescued you from the nightmare."

Nightmare...

Chen Jie looked at Meng Huo and smiled and said, "Yes, I have to thank you."

She wanted to thank Meng Huo for not waking her up in advance. At the end of that dream, Chen Jie found Meng Huo, and he sat by the beach and drew a cartoon.

Chen Jie ran over and ran to him. When she met him, the meteor fell...

Although both of them were dead, Chen Jie's heart was filled with warmth. She found Meng Huo and found Meng Huo among countless people, that was enough!

Chen Jie felt that even if she died, she didn't care.

How lucky it would be if two people could die together.
