Chapter 966: Male Cartoonist
"The county has been very popular in the past two years, so I naturally have to thank Teacher He Xi, who brought tourists. Novel Chinese." Ji Lan smiled and said, "The county government is now preparing to treat tourism as a key development project. The leaders are very grateful to the teacher for your help in publicity. Thanks to your comics, the scene in the county has undergone earth-shaking changes."
"It's earth-shaking?" Meng Huo looked at Li Qin strangely: "Mom, is it true?"
"Well, you haven't been back in the past two years, and Qingcheng has changed a lot." Li Qin nodded: "The houses we rented at the beginning have become attractions. Last time I went back, the landlord brought something to thank me for coming..."
She had never mentioned it to Meng Huo. In fact, Qingcheng is indeed much more lively now than in the past.
Qingcheng County is originally a small county town with good landscapes, but it has not been developed, so it is unknown. In recent years, tourists have become more and more popular with comics. The county government’s gratitude to Meng Huo is not without reason. In fact, a few years ago, after the county magistrate talked with Meng Huo, Meng Huo began to use some of the scenery of Qingcheng in comics and animation works.
Although that is not very important, it will not affect the scenery and human feelings of the plot. Just like several mountain paths in "Natsume Friends' Account", it looks insignificant, but over the years, those insignificant scenery have become the tourism signs of Qingcheng County.
"The Origin of the Landscape of He Xi's Works" Qingcheng now has such a reputation. Although Qingcheng County may have less than one percent of the scenery described in He Xi's works, this does not prevent Qingcheng County from using such words to promote it.
In addition, Qingcheng is He Xi's hometown, and the high-speed rail connection is simple. Qingcheng County has indeed become a good place for some comic fans to think. Qingcheng County pays more and more attention to improving the environment and building tourism projects. With the increase of tourists, they are increasingly aware of the huge economic value in this area.
"I brought some photos, teacher, you can take a look."
Ji Lan took out some photos from her bag, which were taken in various places in Qingcheng County. You can clearly see that Meng Huo’s familiar streets were cleaned up, and some shops had anime-style signboards. At the entrances of the junior high school and elementary school where Meng Huo studied, some tourists took photos.
There is also a sign standing at the gate of the junior high school. It says "In order to maintain the school's teaching environment, tourists are prohibited from entering."
"I also told Sister Qin in the morning that some of the buses and taxis in our county have become very anime-style now." Ji Lan smiled and said, "There are also photos in these photos."
It was indeed a photo. Meng Huo saw a taxi with "The Soul of Chess" printed in a street scene. Although not all taxis are like this, the fashionable scene in a county town still made him feel that he was about to fall into a cold sweat.
Ji Lan continued to tell that in order to attract tourists, the Qingcheng County Government has invested a lot of money in the past two years to improve the environment. The streets and other important attractions have been cleaned very well. Whenever a Qingcheng scenery appears in Meng Huo's comics, the place will be rectified immediately and become completely renewed.
Nowadays, bookstores in Qingcheng County will never lack comics and magazines. Information related to the animation industry can maintain the same update speed as those in big cities in Qingcheng, and everyone can perceive the changes this industry has brought to the county.
"The county's idea is to turn Qingcheng County into another comic island in the hearts of comic fans." Ji Lan finally said: "Of course, this is our expectation. Whether it can be done depends on the future. But at least, we think we can rely on Teacher He Xi to create the tourism sign of Qingcheng."
Meng Huo now understands the relationship. The Qingcheng County Government regards him as a lucky cat.
He may indeed have brought many tourists to Qingcheng, but it is quite difficult to keep these tourists in Qingcheng County for a long time with him and comics, but this does not prevent Qingcheng from taking advantage of this opportunity to start its own tourism promotion.
A few years ago, after the county-level high-speed rail was completed across the country, a wave of tourism competition among county-level cities emerged in China. Traditional investment promotion is no longer the first choice for some cities, and the Qingcheng government obviously wants to raise the tourism industry.
"I roughly understand." Meng Huo put down the photo, and he already understood the reason why Ji Lan brought the thank-you letter.
Meng Huo was indeed surprised at first, but when he came to his senses, he felt that the county government's approach was not a big deal. He still remembered an event in his previous life. A program team called "Where is Mom?" went to a county town to film. In order to make an episode, almost the leaders of the entire county town mobilized to help. It can be seen how important celebrities and publicity are for local governments.
Meng Huo’s current role in Qingcheng County is not just as simple as a program team. His popularity is far greater than that of ordinary celebrities and variety shows, and he can bring long-term publicity to Qingcheng through comics and animations. It is difficult for Qingcheng County to not regard him as the God of Wealth.
"But you should not just give a thank you letter?" Meng Huo laughed. He knew that Ji Lan had other purposes, and the thank you letter was only used to play the striker.
"It's true." Ji Lan sat upright and said, "After the county magistrate heard about Li Village, he guessed that you would come back... He wanted to invite you to go back two days in advance, and then he would accompany you around Qingcheng and see the scenery everywhere."
Meng Huo was shocked, then laughed in silence: "Has it been exposed?"
"The teacher is indeed very smart." Ji Lan smiled.
The old man and Li Qin were confused when they heard this, Meng Huo immediately explained to them that the county magistrate planned to accompany Meng Huo to see the scenery with Meng Huo himself. Of course, it was not that he was looking for trouble, but that Meng Huo could not understand the scenery of Qingcheng.
This approach is mainly to allow Meng Huo to advertise Qingcheng better in the future. In fact, the county magistrate did see Meng Huo's weakness. He did not know much about the scenery of Qingcheng, so the paintings of these years are all dispensable landscapes, such as a corner of the street, and did not describe the advantages of Qingcheng.
However, there is nothing I can do about this. Meng Huo was an otaku in his previous life. The jurisdiction of Qingcheng County was actually much larger than that of ordinary county towns. It could be equivalent to a prefecture-level city. He had never been to many places. The things that Meng Huo could draw were mainly in Qingcheng County towns, and there were memories of the crazy girl who pulled him out to play in some mountain forests when she just met He Qian.
If He Qian didn't pull him out, maybe Meng Huo really doesn't have any good scenery in Qingcheng now.
However, He Qian did not take him to appreciate too many scenery, because when she saw Meng Huo, she had already turned Qingcheng. She was a person who liked freshness and hated to spend her life in her hometown and revisited her. She loved La Menghuo to other cities on weekdays, so Menghuo still had limited understanding of Qingcheng. This is also the reason why Meng Huo did not have much attachment to Qingcheng.
"..." Meng Huo pondered for Ji Lan for a long time. He didn't hate taking care of Qingcheng. It was also good to go to see the scenery and relax, but it took two days in advance. The time was difficult to arrange.
"It's okay one day in advance." Meng Huo said: "I really can't take time out in two days."
Ji Lan was surprised: "Is it one day? It doesn't matter, it's okay for a day!"
One day cannot complete the scenic spot in Qingcheng County, but Ji Lan’s requirements are not high, so it is already quite good to make Meng Huo agree to a day.
"By the way, Teacher He Xi... I wonder if you are interested in serving as the tourism ambassador of Qingcheng County?" Ji Lan was excited and did not forget to ask another thing: "We want you to hold this position, and the reward can be paid according to the value of a first-tier star."
"Ambassador? Are those people who post posters everywhere in the tourist area?"
"Um."
"Give me aside!" Meng Huo waved his hand quickly. He didn't want to be the image ambassador of this Russian. As for the reward, he didn't lack that thing: "Why don't you invite Chen Jie? She is more suitable than me."
Chen Jie is also from Qingcheng County. As an image ambassador, she will accept one of the jobs she will accept. She will definitely not refuse. The beauty's appearance is obviously much better than that of a handsome guy.
"We have discussed it. The first choice is teacher. If the teacher doesn't agree, we will invite Miss Chen Jie again." Ji Lan was a little regretful. It seems that Meng Huo would not agree. Although Chen Jie's popularity is high, it is still much worse than him after all.
"Go and invite Chen Jie, she will definitely agree happily." Meng Huo waved his hand, and then suddenly remembered something again: "If you serve as an image ambassador, will you also have to return to Qingcheng?"
Ji Lan nodded: "Of course, if Miss Chen Jie can be invited smoothly, she should come back at the same time as Teacher He Xi. The shooting activities we arranged will be in those few days."
Meng Huo was happy. This was a good thing. Maybe he had a companion to accompany him to watch the scenery.
However, a few days later, when Chen Jie officially agreed to serve as an ambassador confirmed from Alice's phone call, Meng Huo got another unexpected news that Alice also wanted to accompany her to Qingcheng.
Meng Huo's head was big: "What are you going to do?"
"Block the wind for you two..." Alice smiled and said, "Although you and Shen Jie and Liehuo both have legitimate reasons. But returning to Qingcheng at the same time will definitely cause rumors. So why not add me one more, and others will not doubt it."
Meng Huo thought it made some sense, but it seemed something was wrong. If two women were with him, it would not make people doubt it?
But no matter what, this matter has been decided. In addition to this matter, before November, the mystery of the new comic of Zhongxia Company that Meng Huo was concerned about was finally revealed in the magazine.
"Fate" is the name of the comic. It tells the story of a cruel game in a modern city. There are twelve characters in total. Each of these twelve people is a top ding person from different industries, and a pride of heaven who is looked up and envied by ordinary people.
However, these prides of heaven have defects under the gorgeous surface, so the "god" gives each of them a special ability to seize the fate of other game players and fill their own vacancy.
The twelve people don’t know the identities of other players, but as long as they find out and destroy them, the players can choose what they want from the loser’s life and gain the other’s special abilities.
In the character introduction provided by Zhongxia Company's magazine, Meng Huo found the specific content of the story.
Interestingly, the hero of "Fate" is not a pride of heaven, but an ordinary high school student. If you want to say something different from ordinary people, it is that he has a crush on a female teacher in a school, but the teacher is a family and her husband is a big star.
The story begins by chance. The hero accidentally discovers that the female teacher’s husband is using special abilities. This big star is a participant in the game. Because of this discovery, the protagonist also obtained the game qualification by chance and became the last of the twelve people.
He participated in the game with ecstasy, and his first goal was this big star.
The hero wants to grab part of the fate of a big star, that is, his wife. The serial trailer in the comic magazine covers this woman, a very beautiful woman, gentle and charming, with a charm that makes a man feel excited.
"What a charming woman..."
This was Meng Huo's first feeling after seeing the cover. At the same time, he also thought this picture was amazing and better than that of Jiang Tianshi.
"Damn, the introduction of this comic is really exciting..."
"I'm so excited, I'll grab my wife at the beginning, it seems to be very pleasant..."
"This cover is so tempting!"
Not only Meng Huo, but the island animation studio on the same day was also very lively. The male painters were all excited by the introduction of "Fate", and some female painters' faces became stinky.
"Fate" is aimed at readers at a glance. Its subject matter cannot be said to be very good, but the object is very clear. The exciting introduction directly targets the hearts of male readers. The introduction of the first wife scene alone is enough to be exciting, not to mention that its style is indeed very good.
“It’s more than enough to do it…”
Meng Huo thought that he knew that the early stage of the serialization of "Fate" was likely to become popular, because forcing a wife to rob her will definitely succeed.
There is no need for doubt. The protagonist cannot lose in the first game of the twelve people. So he will definitely win and snatch the big star's wife away. When he sees this, young readers must be excited and not be so excited. This is quite difficult to see.
"Is this cartoonist a boy?"
Meng Huo thought so. He had previously felt that the works of "The Country of Ice and Fire" had a little girlish atmosphere, but this comic obviously looked like a male author's style. A male high school student ntr star, simply put it, is the ** silk counterattack of the tall, rich and handsome male painter style.
But speaking of this comic, the theme is indeed very suitable for him. From the earliest "Land of Ice and Fire" to "Bloody Game" to today's "Fate", the works of the mysterious cartoonist have always been on the unpopular and bloody road, in layman's terms, they are on the evil path. His brushes are sharp and suitable for comics with intense and exciting plots.
