Chapter 1 Who pirates, who finishes playing
Lin Yi looked at the ordinary and unfamiliar face in the mirror, and his mind was still confused.
Who am I? Who is me?
Where is this? Where am I from? Where are I going?
This series of questions made Lin Yi slap himself hard, hissing... it hurts.
If all this is not a dream, then there is only one possibility, that is...he has traveled through time!
When he opened the completely unfamiliar brand computer beside the bed, looked at the strange system icon blankly, and searched the Internet for half an hour, Lin Yi found that this was no longer the earth he was familiar with. Another memory that suddenly appeared in his mind told him that this was a world similar to the earth in his previous life, but history was completely different from the earth in his previous life.
Since the Tang and Song dynasties, no Jin people went south and no Five Barbarians invaded China. This is a more developed and powerful China.
Of course, it also means inflation and higher housing prices.
Lin Yi in his previous life was a cartoonist. He also posted several original comics on his website, but a comic newcomer like him who has no fame, no experience, and even has scarce ideas. The result is conceivable...
Not to mention it, I feel disheartened.
In order to make a living and to continue the dream of comics, Lin Yi began to imitate various popular comics and draw some fan works. Through this, he also met several publishers of pirated comics, and since then he has gone further and further on the road of relying on pirated comics.
As the saying goes, pirated versions will be finished sooner or later!
Lin Yi opened a small black factory with pirated comics, and was soon seized for reporting. At the same time, Lin Yi also faced high claims and owed a lot of stocks and debts.
Alas, it would be great if I could really make a fuck.
He was completely lost and drunk, but when he woke up, he suddenly found that everything had changed, and even another memory appeared in his mind for no reason.
Another "Lin Yi" in my memory is even more tragic. Her parents died early. She finally went to a third-rate art university under the help of her relatives. After graduation, she planned to focus on comics. Unfortunately, like Lin Yi in her previous life, she had no experience, had scarce ideas, and lacked creativity in her mind. Her grades can be imagined.
But as the saying goes, can a living person still suffocate his urine to death?
After the comics created by "Lin Yi" failed, he learned from his mistakes and even figured out some "false" ideas.
In the new comic book, some provocative language, and even obscure adult scenes are deliberately added.
With his superb painting skills, the new work became popular, and the number of recommendations and collectors grew rapidly. Various rewards appeared on the homepage of online comic books like raindrops, making "Lin Yi" try to become famous for the first time.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Shortly after the new comic book "Lin Yi" was put on the shelves, it was lost due to the bad content reported. I stared at the 404 displayed on the author's backstage, and I was so angry that I slapped the table and cursed!
Take a deep breath and I finally became popular. How could I give up so easily?
I changed my vest and reopened a comic. I did not shy away from all kinds of obscure content. My grades were also very popular, but within a month, I was blocked again.
"Lin Yi" who did not believe in evil changed several websites in succession and fought repeatedly, but the comic book was also published one by one. In the end, even his identity information was blacklisted. Registering and uploading books on any comic website was prohibited, so that "Lin Yi"'s comic creation career was completed in advance.
The greatness of life, the silent death.
The sad and heartbroken "Lin Yi" poured a whole bottle of Erguotou, but somehow he had an intersection with Lin Yi from another world, and it turned out to be what he was like now.
"Lingling... Grandpa, that grandson called again... Linglingling..." The cheap copycat phone in his hand made a scam noise, interrupting Lin Yi's memories, subconsciously pressed the answer button, and a strange and familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, Xiaolin, I'm Green Light..."
Green light?
A piece of green shining on the top of your head?
What a domineering name!
Lin Yi frowned at first, and then another memory told him that this Green Light was the editor of a comic website and was very optimistic about his writing skills and style. Of course, he was optimistic about those books with "obscure" content.
"Brother Du, is there anything wrong?"
Green Light's real name is Du, and Green Light is his code name in the editorial department.
"That's it..." Green Light said: "I heard that your identity information was blocked. This is a bit troublesome in China. I wonder what you think?"
"What else can I have? At worst, just change careers."
"No." The green light on the other end of the phone smiled, "Young people, don't be discouraged if you suffer a little setback. To be honest, have you ever heard of the es comic website?"
"es?" Lin Yi fell into memories and seemed to have some impression of this website.
"That's right, this is an international comic website. The headquarters is in Japan. Although the website is not very famous in China, it still has attracted the attention of many senior comic fans. The content on this website is relatively open and is very suitable for your previous books. In addition, the headquarters is not in China, your identity information can be re-registered on the es website and become an es comic author..."
"Oh, I remembered it. I should have heard of this website before, and the division seems to be very low."
That’s right, the settlement of comic manuscripts in this world is not like buying out every page in the previous life. Because of the low market, relying on buying out will lead to a loss on the website, so basically all the money is shared.
However, copyright protection is more stringent than Lin Yi's previous life, and piracy is almost extinct. As long as the book is of good quality, the share is considerable. However, compared with those authors with poor grades, the income from the royalties is very ugly.
Green Light said: "Yes, the share is only one-tenth of rewards and subscriptions. However, after signing the contract, as long as the book is sold and all other derivative copyrights are in the hands of the author... Besides, you have drawn several books before, how much did you get the share?"
Lin Yi licked his lips. Comics are not novels. They usually only have a few episodes a month. The subscription fee for one episode is about a few cents, and then they get a one-tenth share. Without tens of thousands of subscriptions or high rewards, they may not be able to afford the meal.
However, Green Light was right. Although Lin Yi's first few books were very good, he was blocked shortly after paying, and he didn't get much royalties.
Moreover, as long as the comic is well drawn, it is easy to publish a single book, and the royalties are the big ones.
"Brother Du, aren't you all around the world? When did you care so much about es?"
"Hehe, did you just transfer to the domestic branch of es two days ago? Are you interested in helping me? To be honest, as long as you come and open a new notebook, I will give you a small recommendation immediately. How about it?"
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, "Then... I'll consider it."
"...It's okay, think about it, don't forget to call me. Believe me, with your kid's pen and style, you will definitely become popular on our es comics website!"
After politely speaking, Lin Yi hung up the phone, and lay down on the chair, looking at the computer screen.
If you had not experienced the time travel, "Lin Yi", who had completely hopeless comics' career, would definitely agree to Green Light to sign a contract with E-Comics.com, even if it was only one-tenth of the share.
But for Lin Yi, who has two lives of memory, the only way to make money is not just comics...
A few minutes later.
A document called "Zhu Xian" appears on Lin Yi's computer.
Well, write the wedge first.
Heaven and earth are unkind, and they regard all things as straw dogs.
Well, there are no gods in this world, but humans see the sky... What does it mean? There is a sun on the sky without thunder or rain?
I scratched my head. These are not the short ancient poems that I must memorize when I was in school. How can I remember so clearly?
After typing and deleting, deleting and modifying, and after pain, Lin Yi decisively gave up his plan to write a wedge, simply went straight to the topic and wrote the first chapter directly.
Chapter 1, Qingyun.
By the way, there was a boy named Zhang Xiaofan who looked ordinary. Suddenly one day, he chased and scrambled with the naughty kids next door...
After a rush to sweat, Lin Yicai made up the first chapter, but when he read it back, the whole chapter was like a primary school student's essay. He couldn't even read it himself, so he planned to upload it to the Internet for others to read?
Nonsense, those novels that have traveled through time are pure nonsense!
The fact is that as long as you have writing skills, you can write flowers. If you don’t have enough writing skills, you can only write them like a piece of flowers based on some of the film and television novels you have read in your previous life.
If you don’t copy novels, then what about copying songs?
Lin Yi rubbed his head and recalled that songs were not his strengths, and he could not even arrange them. The notes were even less tuned from his mouth. There were many classic songs that were familiar to him in his previous life. To be honest, most of them could only sing the high notes.
"If you die, you must love it. If you don't feel happy, you will play... what should you do?"
"I kiss you goodbye, in the streets of no one; I kiss you goodbye, in the nights of turmoil; I kiss you goodbye, in the kiss you goodbye..."
"That night I met her in my heart on the street, and decided not to listen to the call and return home with her. The evening breeze in the middle of the night... Huh? The evening breeze or the cold breeze?"
Holding your forehead, it is difficult to recall a complete classic song. On the contrary, the magical song "You are my little apple, I don't care if you love you too much" is a deeper memory.
If you create a few "divine songs" with your fingers, you might be able to create a nickname, or something, but it is a dream to make a fortune by relying on the limited number of "divine songs" in your mind.
I grabbed a few handfuls of my hair. In my previous life, I was so poor that I couldn't even afford to marry a wife. Do I have to be a snake in this life and be poor for the rest of my life?
I was depressed and my phone rang again.
Answered the phone: "Hey..."
"Hey, Yizi, I am your elder brother..."
This familiar loud voice made Lin Yi immediately understand who this person was, not his brother, but the same grandfather, his teenage cousin Lin Hong.
In addition to being stingy with money, my uncle's family is still taking good care of Lin Yi, his cousin.
"I told you yesterday that the blind date girl I introduced to you has arrived. Where are you??"
Lin Yi looked confused. There seemed to be something like this in his vague memory, but he was drunk last night, so how could he remember these things?
"Brother, where should I... go?"
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, "I want to beat you, but I really plan to be a bachelor, right? I'll send it to you now, so hurry up and crawl over here!"
Chapter completed!
