"So, sketches are made of lines."

Jiang Chao sat on the hood of the car, looking at the sketch of the terraced fields in the distance. Judy stood behind Jiang Chao without saying a word, and she didn't know whether she was looking at Jiang Chao or Jiang Chao's paintings.

"At first glance, it looks like a painting. In fact, if you look closely, the changes in light and shade are just lines. The more lines, the darker, the fewer lines, the lighter."

Jiang Chao blew away the pencil dust and said with a smile: "Actually, sketching is very simple, right?"

Sketching tests the artist's perception of lines and light and dark. Some people are born with the ability to see the lines and light and dark in scenery, while others cannot or find it difficult. This is also a talent.

At this moment, Dong Man jumped down from the top of the mountain: "Little friends! Look what I found?"

Jiang Chao and Zhu Di looked at each other, and Jiang Chao said, "Let's go up."

Judy nodded.

While climbing the hillside, Jiang Chao saw that Zhu Di was not blushing and was out of breath, so he said, "You are in good health."

Judy smiled and said: "There is a gym in our community, and I exercise there every day."

While climbing the mountain, Judy said: "You are so good, you can even draw so well. Actually..." Judy bit her lip.

Jiang Chao turned to look at Judy: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Judy sighed: "Actually...I have misunderstood you before."

Jiang Chao thought that Judy was talking about the time when he wrote the love letter, so he said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. I would have misunderstood it. In fact, you shouldn't think that way. We are also responsible."

Judy shook her head: "It's not the time about the love letter..." As she said that, Judy's face was red and hot, and she whispered: "Do you still remember the test when you joined the class? It took you half an hour to write the test paper. I

I thought you copied my test paper."

Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Ah? Oh! That's why you wrote those two lines of poetry for me?"

Judy lowered her head in shame, nodded slightly, and then said "Yeah". Then she sighed: "Actually, there is more... I thought you were a bad boy... That time you and Jordan acted bravely, and my mother and I

I saw it too, but I thought...well, you were fighting."

Jiang Chao was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Ah... I didn't expect there would be such a plot."

Judy nodded: "Yeah, I've been involved in all the bloody things." After saying that, she looked at Jiang Chao seriously: "Well... you won't blame me, right?"

Jiang Chao shook his head: "How could it be? In fact, you don't need to tell me these things. If you don't tell me, you won't know."

Judy nodded and said softly: "As long as you don't blame me..." After thinking about it, Judy asked quietly again: "Do you still like girls with short hair?" Judy asked the next sentence very quietly.

The voice was so quiet that Jiang Chao could only vaguely hear the words "I like, short, girls".

Jiang Chao asked in confusion: "Ah? What?"

Judy lowered her head: "Nothing."

…

Climb the hillside.

Jiang Chao saw some strange expressions on Qiao Qiao and Guan Tian, ​​especially Guan Tian, ​​who seemed shy.

Jiang Chao immediately realized that something unusual had happened to Jordan and Guan Tian during their absence, so he looked at Jordan with a smile. Jordan chuckled and cast a meaningful look.

At this time, everyone focused on Dong Man. Jiang Chao asked: "What did you find?"

Dong Man excitedly took out something, and when everyone saw it, they all showed strange expressions.

A mushroom.

To be precise, it is a colorful mushroom with a yellow mushroom head and black spots on it.

Jordan frowned: "Is this thing poisonous?"

"Absolutely!" Dong Man stuck the mushroom on the ground: "Didn't there some teachers in elementary school say that the more beautiful the mushrooms are, the more likely they are to be poisonous?"

"Then why are you picking it? You can't eat it," Jordan said.

Dong Man glanced at Jordan dissatisfied: "Of course I didn't eat it! Don't you think this mushroom is beautiful? Come on, let's take a photo!"

…

Everyone had a great time today, especially Jordan, who kept giggling happily and flirting with Guan Tianmei. Jiang Chao glanced at the two of them and shook his head with a smile.

Jiang Chao sent everyone home.

Zhu Di's community is not far from Jiang Chao's house, so he sent Zhu Di last.

Judy looked out the car window at the occasional couple flirting on the roadside and couldn't help laughing. After a while, she turned to Jiang Chao and said, "Jiang Chao, thank you."

Jiang Chao asked: "Thank you for what?"

"There are many ways to thank you. For example, you taught me how to ride a motorcycle, teach me how to draw..." Judy took a serious look at Jiang Chao, and then sighed. I don't know why, but after having fun, her mood changed.

But it fell down.

Jiang Chao frowned slightly: "What's wrong? Are you worried?"

Judy shook her head, thought for a while and asked: "By the way, Jiang Chao, which university do you plan to attend in the future?"

"Ah?" Jiang Chao was slightly startled. He really hadn't thought about this question carefully. After a moment of silence, Jiang Chao said, "I haven't thought about it yet... maybe it depends on the score."

Judy nodded: "Oh."

Jiang Chao asked again: "What about you?"

"Me? I used to want to get into Kyoto University... but now -" Judy glanced at Jiang Chao and smiled: "I won't tell you which university I want to get into now."

Why should this be kept secret? Jiang Chao laughed dumbly, but he was not a curious person and would not ask further questions.

Jiang Chao sent Judy to the gate of the community. Judy got out of the car and waved goodbye to Xia Tian, ​​and then waved goodbye to Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao stepped on the accelerator and the car drove away slowly. Judy looked at the leaving car and remained silent for a long time.

…

A few days later, Jiang Chao had to get busy.

Something came up for him, it was about "One Slap Man".

The remake of the first five episodes of the animation "Slap Man" has finally been completed.

Here I have to mention the profit model of an animation work. To be precise, animation refers to the industry, and comics and animation should be discussed separately.

The income from comics comes from serialization fees, single book income, and adaptation licensing fees. The income from animation mainly comes from broadcast fees, advertising fees, adaptation licensing fees, peripheral licensing fees, and audio-visual product income.

Generally, according to the style of Civet Cat Club, the largest comic company in the industry, they will buy out the copyright of the comic adaptation. After that, the income generated by the animation has nothing to do with the comic author. But Weiwei Club is not. According to the previous contract, Weiwei and Jiang Chao signed

The agreement is more like a bet, and 15% of the proceeds from the adaptation should be paid to Jiang Chao and Zhou Ziran. If the animated version of "One Slap Man" becomes popular, then the income Jiang Chao and Zhou Ziran will receive far exceeds the one-time buyout.

This 15% income has priority, and Weiweishe cannot refuse to pay due to the negative income generated by subsequent investments. It can be said that in order to obtain this authorization, Weiweishe has shown the greatest sincerity.

Weiweishe has staked all its wealth on the animated adaptation of this comic. Once it succeeds, it will really detonate the entire network. If it fails... With the current debt ratio of Weiweishe, it is basically ready to go bankrupt. This is an unprecedented time.

Success is a gamble!

Jiang Chao and Zhou Ziran were invited to watch the first five episodes, and they felt mixed when they came out.

"If the quality of national comics can reach this level..." Zhou Ziran shook his head: "What do you think."

Jiang Chao said sincerely: "It's very good." To be honest, Jiang Chao thought it was not bad compared to the original work he watched before his rebirth.
Chapter completed!
