CHAPTER 8 TWO CHOICES

Perhaps because the mosquitoes were full, Zhao Chen slept soundly that night. After rubbing his eyes, he still confused. Zhao Chen got up and put on his clothes, washed his face in a toilet with only a few square meters, and then grabbed a little salt and put it in his mouth to brush his teeth. With his family's economic level, he didn't even have a few towels, so he naturally couldn't afford the "luxury" of toothbrushes and toothpaste.

After washing up, Zhao Chen left the house and started to exercise outside. This was a habit he brought to his previous life, and he had no choice but to do it.

Because drawing comics not only consumes the mind, but also often sits for several hours. Many cartoonists only sleep for 4 hours a day on average, and sometimes they don’t sleep for one or two days to get through the manuscript. How can the body bear it after a long time? Especially the right hand, buttocks, waist and back of the painting. These places will often develop diseases. There have been sudden deaths of cartoonists one after another. Only the combination of exercise and work and rest is the best way to avoid the disease.

However, Zhao Chen is very poor now. In order to get a manuscript, he may not have been sleeping for a day or two, but he can still do it for only four hours a day.

This body looks thin, but its physical fitness is not bad. This may be because of being used to farm work. At least it is not worse than the body in the previous life, and it is much more malleable.

Zhao Chen used military fists, horse stance and push-ups to exercise. After more than half an hour, he ran home with a little breath.

In the next five days, Zhao Chen almost did the same thing, and he often slept for only two or three hours. He would sleep unless he couldn't stand it. He could only work hard to improve his family's situation.

During these five days, due to Zhao Chen's desperate efforts, he drew a total of 42 pages, and on average, he reached an outrageous 8 pages every day. In addition, he drew 6 pages on the first day, and a total of 48 pages were collected in these six days.

And during these six days, the situation at home began to become more and more difficult. Sometimes, I often faced the tendency to be full and hungry. Coupled with the hard work, Zhao Chen's body felt a little unsustainable.

Carefully organize the drawings and put them in a used plastic bag. There is no way, he doesn't have a folder at home.

I took the bus all the way to Chai Wan, located in the East District. Chai Wan is an industrial area with relatively polluted air all year round, while most newspapers, publishers and animation companies are located in Chai Wan.

The first person Zhao Chen went to was naturally Yulang International Co., Ltd., which Huang Yulang just founded not long ago. After all, Huang Yulang is well-known in the Xiangjiang animation industry and is vaguely known as the number one person in Xiangjiang comics. It is this preconceived concept that led to it becoming Zhao Chen's first target for submission.

After asking a few passers-by, maybe it was because most of Chai Wan were working people. Zhao Chen was not treated as "preferential" when he was in Mong Kok. Of course, because his clothes were patched several times, his return rate was still at a high-end level.

Zhao Chen sighed in his heart. It was still a matter of money, but he didn't care too much about the eyes of these people. He still raised his chest and walked towards the location of Yulang International Co., Ltd.

Halfway through, he went to a printing shop, copied a few copies of the comics, and bought a few briefcases before leaving. However, when he came out, the money in his pocket was left with the travel expenses for the trip, which made him very confused. He must succeed today.

"I don't believe that the classic "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" would fail!" Zhao Chen still felt nervous in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly cheer himself up.

At this time, Yulang International Co., Ltd. was established less than a month ago, and Huang Yulang used his fame to drive the company's development, so the entire company seemed very busy. Employees kept going in and out of various rooms with various manuscripts, and several rooms were still in the decoration. Zhao Chen, who had just stepped inside, felt dizzy. He wanted to stop someone and ask where the editor-in-chief's office was, but unfortunately no one responded to him. Perhaps in their eyes, Zhao Chen was just a local bun in their eyes. The most important thing was that Zhao Chen was too young, and they had important things to work on, so where would he have free time to pay attention to him.

Just as Zhao Chen was standing there a little at a loss, a middle-aged man in a suit and a serious face walked towards him. When he saw Zhao Chen's clothes, his brows frowned slightly.

"Young man, have you come to the wrong place?"

"If this is Yulang International Co., Ltd., then there is nothing wrong." Zhao Chen observed carefully and found that the busy staff nearby looked at the middle-aged man with a clear awe in his eyes. He couldn't help but feel nervous. This person might be an executive of Yulang International Co., Ltd.

"That's really not wrong. Don't you know what's wrong? Let's say first that our Yulang International Co., Ltd. will not recruit child laborers!" The middle-aged man nodded and looked at Zhao Chen in front of him, especially when Zhao Chen's slightly tender face, a look appeared on his face. He thought that Zhao Chen came to find a job. Because Yulang International Co., Ltd. was just established, some positions were relatively vacant, including some jobs similar to coolie-like work.

Zhao Chen's expression did not change much, but he felt a little displeased. In his opinion, the middle-aged man's expression and tone obviously looked down on him!

"I'm here to contribute!" Zhao Chen said with neither humility nor arrogant words.

"Submission? Then take it and show it to me. I am Lin Shan, the editor-in-chief here!" The middle-aged man was obviously surprised and immediately revealed his identity.

Looking at Lin Shan's hand reaching in front of him, Zhao Chen couldn't help but frown and said, "Editor Lin, is it just reviewing the manuscript here?"

"It's here!" Perhaps it was a preconceived idea. He thought that the half-grown boy in front of him could not draw a good work at all, so he was ready to take a look and then let him get out. He still had many important things to do, so he didn't have so much spare time to accompany him.

In desperation, Zhao Chen had to hand one of the documents bags to Lin Shan. He lamented in his heart. It seemed that he would not have a good result this time, because Lin Shan's attitude showed everything.

From Zhao Chen's own perspective, the beginning of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is actually not very outstanding, but its scenes and rhythm are very good, and the plots are even more closely linked. The fight makes people's blood flow. Of course, there is also Huang Yi's **hesy and salty H-size picture. These may be the main reasons why "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" are classic.

If you look at the novel version, it has another flaw, that is, the article is too long and a bit slow. More than 500 characters are very awesome, but a few readers will remember it clearly. They often see characters who only appear a few times and will not remember them. But even so, it is still a classic work, and the comic version can greatly conceal this flaw.

Lin Shan opened the official bag and took out the copy of the original manuscript in a bit rude way. He just took a look and couldn't help but look surprised in his eyes. He looked down on Zhao Chen, but as the editor-in-chief of the comic company, he naturally had vision. The characters on the manuscript were drawn quite well, and the most important thing was the shape and style of the characters inside. He felt a little familiar, and seemed to be somewhat similar to his boss Huang Yulang.

Lin Shan's expression became more solemn, and he just stood there and opened it page by page. When he saw that this was the two protagonists, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes. He thought that the boy in front of him would not have such skills and would easily collapse directly! Therefore, although he felt that the style of this comic was more in line with his wishes, because the two protagonists and the opening plot were not outstanding, he had already denied the comic in his heart.

"The painter is pretty good, but the plot at the beginning is not very outstanding. The most important thing is that your comic should be set with two protagonists. Do you think you can draw the subsequent plot well? I won't say much. For the good style, I can give you two choices!"

Lin Shan explained his insights on the comic "The Legend of the Two Dragons in the Tang Dynasty". Perhaps there were some preconceived ideas, but his evaluation was not much different, because both the novel and comics worlds were difficult to master, but once they succeeded, they were basically classics.
