Big Manga

In the dead of night, Li Qin was so hot that it was difficult to sleep.

She was going to get up for a glass of water, but was surprised to find that the light next door was still on.

"Why isn't this kid sleeping?" Li Qin walked over curiously, and looked inside through the crack of the door.

I saw Meng Huo sitting in front of the desk, moving his pen quickly on the paper in a "shua, shua, shua" manner.

Li Qin's eyes widened. This kid is actually reviewing? She looked at the ground, textbooks and notes were scattered all over the floor, she had never seen Meng Huo who studied so hard—he had really changed.

Walking softly towards the living room, Li Qin smiled.

"Give him an extra egg for breakfast tomorrow."

In the room, what Meng Huo flamboyantly depicted was of course not a review question, but a cartoon.

He rummaged through the history books and various newspapers in the room, and he has confirmed that classic comics such as "Dragon Ball" and "Naruto" have not appeared in this world, nor have classic online novels such as "Fights Break Sphere" and "Full-time Master" .

Novels and comics became Meng Huo's first choice for making money, and the first choice was of course novels that were less laborious. However, the novel industry in this world is very developed, and the rise of online novels is ten years earlier than in the previous life, and the entire market is a red sea of ​​fierce competition.

On the contrary, the original comics market is a blue ocean.

Original comics appeared later than novels. Due to the development of the novel market and in order to expand the benefits of copyright, the comics industry has gradually emerged. The cartoon characters are vivid, easy to understand, and suitable for all ages. The whole industry is like a snowball, and now it has spread all over the world.

However, it has been limited by two decisive factors in its early start. One is the lack of professional comic education, the shortage of talents, and they are all hired by large companies to adapt popular novels, and the output of original comics is very small. Second, there is a problem with the marketing model, and comic periodicals have not received much attention.

Today's comics market is dominated by novel adaptations. The biggest limitation is that readers know the plot. Comic companies dare not change the original work casually. Readers who know the plot will not follow up on it every week, and they are more willing to buy booklets.

This has led to the strange phenomenon that the sales of manga periodicals and magazines are dismal, while the single volumes are extremely popular. This phenomenon is very beneficial to Meng Huo, because it means that as long as he can release excellent content in the form of comics, he can stand out.

Novels and comics are closely related. Many people can write novels, but few people can draw comics. Meng Huo spent most of his life on these things. His brushwork and painting skills are extraordinary, and he should be able to make a bright road.

He can start with original comics and get involved in other industries step by step.

"Very good, the foundation is still there!" Meng Huo put down his pen and heaved a sigh of relief looking at the dozens of comic manuscripts on the table. Time travel did not bring his skills back to the original point, no matter handwriting, writing style or painting skills are not much different from his previous life, and he can recover after practicing for a while.

As long as his strength is there, Meng Huo is not afraid of anything.

"But it's really strange..." He picked up the manga and frowned and looked at it: "It's so smooth, no matter how you draw manga, you have to rethink the storyboard. Why don't I even have to think about the storyboard?"

The so-called storyboard is a term in comics. The layout of the comic must be designed on paper, and then the original manuscript can be drawn according to the layout. This process is like drawing up a draft and structure. Meng Huo is surprised that he can draw the original draft without using a storyboard, as if he knew it long ago.

"Forget it, don't want it."

Meng Huo stretched his waist, picked up the history book next to him and read it as a novel, but after a while, a strange feeling appeared in his mind: he seemed to know what the content of the next page was, the key points from Which line starts with which word.

"No way……"

Meng Huo had just flipped through it before, how could he remember it so clearly. He immediately turned to the next page, and the displayed content was exactly the same as in his mind!

A ridiculous idea came out.

Meng Huo took out the Chinese document and quickly scanned over a dozen pages, then closed it. He took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and began to recall. Slowly, the entire Chinese textbook opened like a 3D image, and the table of contents, text, notes, and even the wrinkled page numbers were all clearly visible.

"Extreme memory!" He jumped up excitedly: "No, it's impossible...but the memory of the previous life is also very clear. The twelfth sentence of the first episode of Journey to the West seems to be Shao Kang's saying: "The half of the winter solstice, The heart of heaven has not changed. Where the yang first moves, when everything is not born'?"

"Damn it, I'm a blockbuster!"

Meng Huo really has a photographic memory, not only in this life, but also in his previous life. Could it be that time travel has enlightened his brain? As long as he has this ability, he can perfectly reproduce the comics of his previous life, and he is worried that he won't make money?

But this way, he doesn't have to go to school to waste time.

"No, since I have a photographic memory, why don't I go to school?" If he could find a school with easy academic performance, then Meng Huo's diploma would be like giving away for nothing.

Strength is the key, and students with strength are popular wherever they go. Meng Huo looked at the junior high school textbooks on the table and felt that there would be no harm in taking the senior high school entrance examination. He could review the comics while preparing them, which would also reassure Li Qin.

After a busy night, Meng Huo asked Li Qin not to go to school after dawn.

"Anyway, the school courses are over, so I can't study quietly when I go there. It's better to stay at home." He explained.

Li Qin originally wanted to refuse, but she hesitated when she thought of Meng Huo's hard work last night. There is no computer at home and no money for the children to play, so it's okay to agree: "Okay, I will call your head teacher."

She asked for leave for Meng Huo, and Bai Hui, the class teacher, was angry with yesterday, and when he heard about the leave, he replied, "It's fine if you don't come," and hung up the phone.

"What did you do at school?" Li Qin was full of doubts, and Meng Huo blinked innocently: "Nothing, I was in a hurry to pick you up."

Li Qin was taken aback, feeling a little unhappy.

"This teacher is really, what kind of attitude, just teach children if they can't do well, why don't they care about everything after a day..."

She was very happy that Meng Huo came to pick her up yesterday.

"Then I'm going to work. You study quietly at home. There are some leftovers in the refrigerator for you to eat at noon."

"Okay!" Meng Huo sent Li Qin out with a smile on his face, then slept until noon, and started to review after eating.

At 10:30 in the evening, Li Qin didn't go home in a hurry, but knocked on the door of the neighbor's house.

"Meng Huo? I don't think I saw him go out today." The neighbor's answer reassured Li Qin that the child was indeed staying at home to study.

When she opened the door, Li Qin was stunned. She saw the light in the living room was on, and a large bowl of hot fried rice with eggs was placed on the table.

"Mom, welcome back! That's the meal I warmed up just now, you eat it while it's hot."

Meng Huo's voice came from the inner room, and Li Qin's eyes turned red. This was the first time Meng Huo had prepared meals for her.

"This kid, didn't I say that the factory provides dinner?" Li Qin wiped the corners of her eyes, and ate up the egg fried rice with joy.

She put away the dishes and knocked on Meng Huo's door before taking a shower and getting ready to go to bed.

"Xiao Huo, don't look too late and ruin your body."

"Know."

After getting the answer, Li Qin went to sleep with peace of mind.

Time flew by in the simple interaction between mother and son. It took Meng Huo two weeks to memorize the entire elementary and junior high school textbooks thoroughly, and he no longer needed to review them. With more than ten days left before the high school entrance examination, Meng Huo seized the time to prepare comics.

The choice of the first manga was very critical. Meng Huo didn't directly adapt the novels of his previous life to manga. He didn't dare to take risks, so he gave priority to manga works that were originally manga.

"Dragon Ball" was the first to be included as a candidate. This is a classic comic that has been serialized for more than ten years. However, the results of this comic were not particularly popular in the early stages of serialization. It was not until the author added the theme of "pursuit of power" to the story that it became popular.

Then came the three migrant manga of "Bleach", "Naruto", and "One Piece". Meng Huo still had no choice. The reason is that the painting style and world view of these three comics are quite special, and he wanted a comic that is closer to reality and more youthful as a start.

After two days of screening, Meng Huo took a fancy to "Detective Conan". This is a typical boy and girl take-all manga, which is close to reality and full of suspense at the same time, and it has a very good start, and its results are not inferior to other manga.

Meng Huo concentrated on painting "Detective Conan", and after a few days of practice, his painting skills returned to the best state in his previous life.

Drawing comics is a complicated job. Although Meng Huo greatly reduced his drawing time by not having to draw storyboards, it took Meng Huo four full days to complete more than 20 pages of Chapter 1 for the first time to draw a complete manuscript of comics. People are surprised by the speed.

"Okay, just the last one and you're done!"

Meng Huo stretched his waist and prepared to draw the last picture. This picture has only one shot, so it should be very simple to draw.

However, just as the paintbrush fell on the paper, a bright light suddenly flashed. A wonderful picture scrolled in Meng Huo's mind: a crescent moon was hanging in the sky, and a boy was sitting on the grass. Big suspicious eyes.

"what?"

Meng Huo woke up suddenly, and the brush in his hand stopped. His pupils shrank, and he was surprised to find that he had completed the last picture—the exact same scene that flashed in his mind just now was drawn on the paper, and people couldn't take their eyes off it.

This is not an ordinary cartoon, the seemingly simple picture reveals a touch of elegance. The whole painting actually showed a sense of layering like ink and wash, just like a living Chinese painting, Meng Huo could feel a strong oriental flavor from it.

"Amazing……"

He put down the pen tremblingly, his wrist was slightly sore, which proved that the painting was indeed from his hands.

The clock on the desk was ticking.

Meng Huo turned to look at the clock, which had already turned half a circle. The time was thirty minutes faster than before the picture appeared in his mind, but it only left him with an illusion for a moment. Meng Huo realized that just now he had entered a state of obsession and could not see the time, and in this state, he could easily draw the scene in his head.

Reminiscent of his photographic memory, Meng Huo felt that this might also be an ability brought about by time travel.

"A flash of inspiration is called a flash of inspiration!"

He temporarily gave the new ability an easy-to-understand name—the comics drawn by this ability are not like comics, and the quality far exceeds the original. If it can be fully utilized, wouldn't it be invincible in the world?
