Chapter 167: Controversy

After the rain, a huge comic advertisement was moved out on the wet street.

In the bookstore, young people holding umbrellas were lined up to buy "Weekly Boy", and the discussion was very lively.

"I didn't expect that Teacher He Xi's new series was actually a story of a cartoonist."

"I was also surprised, but it was great. Compared to surreal stories, this kind of career-oriented story is more suitable for people like me who are over thirty years old."

"The boss is so overdoing. There are three episodes of "Dream Eater" that he actually only watches the first episode for free. Isn't this intentional teasing?"

"Yes, and the first episode happened to stop at Machi, rejecting Qiuren's invitation. I want to know how Qiuren persuades Machi."

In order to trigger a promotion, the owner of the bookstore did a very bold thing. He used the "Weekly Boy" as a trial reading to stare at the number of paintings behind, and only allowed readers to watch the first chapter of "Dream Eater" for free.

It turns out that this method has indeed aroused readers' curiosity, but it also made the stone chairs and benches within hundreds of meters outside the bookstore full of readers who read books.

"There is no place here, let's look forward."

"How is the fast food restaurant? It's not full yet. Everyone inside is reading comics. Hey... why do I feel like a library?"

"What library? Ninghai is almost becoming Teacher He Xi's back garden. Yesterday my sister bought a book called "Weekly Girl" and my mother to read it. Today, "Weekly Boy" is on sale. I saw the theme. Come on, my dad will definitely read it-Teacher He Xi is going to turn my family into his fans."

The two teenagers walked past the street with a smile. Their voices made the girl sitting on the stone bench next to her read a book frown slightly.

The girl wore black-framed glasses on her face, big and rustic. She had two braids on the back of her head. If she didn't look at it seriously, no one would associate her with the beautiful romance princess Qin Ya.

Qin Ya was a little unhappy, why was the whole of Ninghai talking about He Xi?

After the release of Nakaxia comics, Qin Ya's "Star" sales have exceeded that of "Inuyasha". She is now the true king of girl comics. But some people still complain about her, thinking that the victory of "Star" is a blessing from Nakaxia's channel.

Yesterday, "The Male Public Relations Department of Yinglan College" was released. Qin Ya quickly bought it and watched it. After reading it, she felt that He Xi had lost his fighting spirit, so he began to draw orthodox girl comics according to the market.

Zhongxia comics must have scared He Xi to death. He no longer dares to take the risk of drawing new themes, and he will gradually be distanced from him in the future.

Qin Ya had this idea, but as soon as "Weekly Boy" was released, she felt like she was slapped in the face and felt very uncomfortable.

"Dream Eater" - This is actually a comic about a cartoon about a cartoonist. This kind of content is the most difficult to draw. He Xi did not lose his fighting spirit at all. He was still the same as before, drawing whatever he wanted and what he wanted.

"I'm so angry!!"

Qin Ya was so angry that she wanted to tear the "Weekly Boy" in her hand, but she still didn't tear it off. Because she saw Maki rejecting Qiuren's invitation and turned around and left, Qiuren chased him out and said:

"You want to live aimlessly and become an ordinary office worker in the future? Is your life like this?"

This is Qiuren’s question to Zhencheng, but this sentence resonated in Qin Ya’s heart.

In this busy world, most people start to go to school, graduate, work, get married and have children from childhood, just like staying in a cage and living their entire lives in an ordinary way.

If the world is a huge runway, then most people run on the runway and cannot find the meaning of their life, but ask yourself, who has no dreams? Who is willing to be ordinary? Who doesn’t want to jump out of the bound path and create their own legend?

Everyone wants to dance, but few people can do it, and Qin Ya is one of them.

She was dissatisfied with the life she had arranged since she was a child. She did not want to be indifferent to the public and did not want to live the same life as others. She jumped out without hesitation and became a glowing star. Qin Ya didn't dare to say how powerful she was, but at least she was pursuing her dreams, which were different from others.

"Why..."

Qin Ya looked at the book with a strange look. She seemed to see her own shadow in He Xi, he was the same as before.

Cartoonists and novelists, perhaps a group of people are pursuing their dreams, but in the few years Qin Ya entered society, her vision changed, and the money and reputation in her eyes became more important and no longer as pure as it was at the beginning.

The same is true for other people. Everyone in Qin Ya's eyes is competing, wanting to be richer and more famous.

"Does I want money? Or do I want to find a dream?"

Qin Ya asked her heart, and she found that she had gone the wrong way. She had been writing girls' love stories, and she followed the market to be popular, and she was less and less free.

Because of money and fame, she dared not take the risk of writing other stories. She could not express her ideas and bound herself. But in fact, the money she earned was enough. It is impossible to say that she is rich, but she will have no problem with food and clothing for the rest of her life.

"I'm such a fool!"

Qin Ya suddenly felt that she was stupid. Since she had money, why would she continue to chase money? She could live a more relaxed life. Whether it was a good seller or not, she could write the stories she wanted to write.

Just like He Xi, the cartoonist earned more money than her, but he never limited to a single subject and wrote whatever he wanted.

"Okay!" Qin Ya's heart was cheered up and a blazing flames ignited: "I want to defeat that brat with other comics!"

Her thinking became wider and she felt that the world had become bigger and there were many things waiting for her - she wanted to be a cartoonist, and there were countless novel things waiting on this road, which was completely different from the stalemate world of novels. And there was also someone who was younger than her, smarter than her, and able to be a lifelong enemy waiting there.

Qin Ya has a new goal.

"Dream Eater..."

At the Ninghai headquarters of Zhongxia Company, Yang Liang looked at the "Weekly Boy" on the table and smiled: "What does this name mean? Dreams should be dreams... "Dream Eater" - the person who eats dreams?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

Wang Zhe, editor-in-chief of comics, stood in the office and replied: "The name is not a problem, the problem is the content. Its content is written by the cartoonist. I didn't expect that Teacher He Xi would be so bold..."

Wang Zhe was very impressed. Career-oriented novels and comics are difficult to write because this type requires professionalism and must be written in real terms to satisfy readers. However, the story is too real and often it will be boring and not so attractive.

But He Xi's beginning is very interesting, maybe he can tell a boring story wonderfully.

"I heard that the sales are very good?" Yang Liang asked.

"That's right." Wang Zhe nodded: "The sales scene in the bookstore is very lively, but this comic does not have many advertisements. I looked at the content. If the quality can be maintained, "Dream Eater" would be a very best-selling comic."

The best-selling comic, and the content is about the cartoonist Yang Liang rubbing his eyebrows.

"That He Xi is really not worry-free." He sighed: "I'm too lazy to read it. Tell me about the general content of this comic."

Wang Zhe was stunned for a moment, and then organized the language and replied: "The protagonist of "Dream Eater" is a junior high school student. He lives with the flow like an ordinary person. He has the ability to paint and has a crush on Yadou, who is in the same class..."

"Qiu Ren asked Makoto to invite me: I'll write the script, you'll draw, let's become cartoonists together. But Makoto refused, so Qiu Ren deceived Makoto and said that he wanted to confess to Yado. Makoto ran over to stop..."

"The plot behind is unexpected. It turns out that Yadou's dream is to become a voice actor, and she also likes Maki. The two agreed that Maki would become a cartoonist, and Yadou would become a voice actor. Damn Shin's comics successfully became an animation, Yadou dubbed his animation, and the two got married..."

"In this way, Maki agreed to Akito's invitation and worked hard towards the comic artist path together."

Wang Zhe finished the comic content in one breath, and Yang Liang was shocked: "I didn't expect that so many things happened in the middle to make Matsushi promise to become a cartoonist."

The plot at the beginning is very good. The process of changing the protagonist's attitude is very good, and it is full of substitution and expectation. But... the heroine's voice actor, the hero's comic?

"Wang Zhe, I remember that Teacher He Xi made his debut in the third year of junior high school, right?" Yang Liang suddenly remembered this incident and showed confusion on his face: "Do you think this is his autobiography?"

Wang Zhe smiled bitterly, then shook his head and said, "Teacher He Xi debuted after graduating from the third year of junior high school, and we investigated it very early. He has no partner. This schedule is just a coincidence."

"Coincidence? I think something is wrong..." Yang Liang frowned slightly: "And even if we think it is a coincidence, others may not think that it would be even more amazing if there was a girl around him who wanted to be a voice actor."

"I'm worried that Phoenix will use this reason to advertise to further increase He Xi's popularity."

"It shouldn't be..." Wang Zhe seemed very surprised: "According to our understanding of Teacher He Xi, he is not a very popular person, and Phoenix Company has no reason to hype him... But they have indeed made continuous moves these days, and Xu Jing seemed to have visited CCTV's program team in Yanjing."

"I think Phoenix will promote "Dream Eater", but Teacher He Xi... they shouldn't specifically praise him."

Wang Zhe retained a little opinion. As Yang Liang said, the situation of the protagonist of "Dream Eater" is somewhat similar to He Xi. Even if Phoenix Company does not have the will to do this, most other media will seize the opportunity to report it.

Does the protagonist of "Dream Eater" represent He Xi? This will be a long-term controversy... and the controversy also means that no matter what Teacher He Xi thinks, he and "Dream Eater" will become more eye-catching.
