In the not-so-large master bedroom, or rather the not-so-large studio, Sun Peng and the two girls each looked at the things in their hands.
This is the sunniest place in the whole house.
The two girls shared a room, and both were working on picture books and illustrations. As a result, they needed a studio. So they simply shared a second bedroom and used the master bedroom with the most sunlight as a studio. It was like a man grooming himself.
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone began to appreciate each other's works.
Apart from the sound of turning the pages of a book, the whole room was filled with the fragrance of freshly brewed tea.
"Yes, both of them draw beautifully!"
After looking through the previous works of Yu Ruonan and Chen Ruoyi, Sun Peng nodded with satisfaction. Although both of them were girls, their painting style was not the kind of freshness that Sun Peng didn't like, and maybe it was because
The two have always been classmates and roommates, and their painting styles are also very similar.
But after all, they are two people, each with their own characteristics.
Chen Ruoyi's characteristic is that she is full of imagination, especially childishness can be seen everywhere, while Yu Ruonan is tougher, and some paintings look very powerful...
Putting down the drawing in his hand, Sun Peng glanced at Yu Ruonan.
The first impression was that it was white, very white, something Sun Peng had rarely seen.
Chen Ruoyi's skin is very white, but at least it is within the normal range, but Yu Ruonan's skin is so white that it makes people uncomfortable, as if she has been locked in a house since she was born and has never seen the sun. She is fair.
There are a few strands of black hair scattered on the face, and the two eyes are dark and shiny. If it weren't for the lips showing a lackluster light pink, just listening to the description would look a bit like a fairy tale character.
Even now, everyone is sitting in the room reading together, Sun Peng chooses to be in the place with the best sunshine, Chen Ruoyi chooses to be in a place with less sunshine, and Yu Ruonan hides in a corner with darker light...
In addition to being white, I am also thin.
She is definitely not short at over 1.6 meters tall, but looking at the skinny girl, Sun Peng couldn't help but think of the time when he had just traveled through time...
That pretty little face is ruined!
Half an hour later, Yu Ruonan, the last one to put down the manuscript, said with bright eyes: "It's a very interesting story! Mr. Sun, did you write this?"
"Well, I just finished writing it a few days ago."
Sun Peng nodded and said with a slight smile.
"I love this story!"
Without any mincing words at all, Yu Ruonan said simply: "I am also very grateful to you for inviting me, but unfortunately, I am currently creating a new picture book, and it will take too long to finish your story...
Ugh!"
Covering Yu Ruonan's mouth, Chen Ruoyi smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, Mr. Sun, could you please wait in the living room?"
"Uh...of course."
Nodding awkwardly, Sun Peng quickly stood up and walked out of the studio.
Then……
The thin door could not block the quarrels in the room. Sun Peng vaguely heard Chen Ruoyi scolding her roommate: "...your own picture books are important, but do you have the money to get them...maybe ten...one
Annual rent... Survive first, then talk about your ideals..."
"Oh, artist!"
After taking a sip of the bitter tea, Sun Peng sighed and shook his head.
Ten minutes later, Sun Peng was invited into the studio again, and then Yu Ruonan bit his lip and said: "Mr. Sun, I can take over your work, but you can wait until I finish the work at hand... Well, two days at most.
Is that okay?”
"sure!"
Sun Peng was not surprised at all by Yu Ruonan's reply. After all, the first volume of The Chronicles of Narnia is indeed a classic. As a picture book writer, she couldn't help but notice it. And judging from what she just heard, this girl is also short of money.
It’s so lacking!
but……
Sun Peng was not completely satisfied with Yu Ruonan's works.
Yu Ruonan is undoubtedly very suitable for painting those battle scenes, or even the scenes where the white witch exists. However, if it is to paint the encounter between several children and the Satyr, as well as the interesting scenes with the sea otter couple, I am afraid it is not suitable.
So after smiling slightly, Sun Peng shook his head and said: "I just looked at the works of both of you. Although they are both great, there are slight differences in style. My story is longer and has many different scenes.
So I feel...hehe, you two should be quite suitable for this story."
"The two of us?"
After listening to Sun Peng's words, the two looked at each other blankly.
"Yes, you two!"
Nodding, Sun Peng said seriously: "Originally, I came here to ask Miss Yu for help, but after having the opportunity to see Miss Chen's paintings, I thought maybe you two could cooperate and take responsibility for each other that suits you.
style scene, and it will be more efficient, right?"
How long will it take for one person to paint?
At any rate, Sun Peng had some knowledge of this industry and knew how long it took to draw a page. If Yu Ruonan was really allowed to do it alone, it would be a miracle day and night to complete it in one year!
Sun Peng didn't want her to produce a rough work just to rush the work.
To put it simply, although Sun Peng does not expect them to draw top-notch masterpieces, he does not want to ruin the classics on earth. Therefore, while ensuring quality, it is best to increase manpower and increase production efficiency.
It was obvious that Chen Ruoyi was moved.
Being able to live in a place like this with Yu Ruonan all the time means that Chen Ruoyi's situation is not much better, so there are not many opportunities to get a big job. However, she was obviously worried and subconsciously glanced at her roommate.
"There must be no problem on my side."
Yu Ruonan didn't have any ideas, so he nodded and said, "Also, our painting styles are indeed very similar, but there are obvious differences in the details. If we divide the work and cooperate, it is indeed suitable for this story."
After hearing what Yu Ruonan said, Chen Ruoyi and Sun Peng laughed at the same time.
The former was a smile of gratitude, Chen Ruoyi must have been touched by her friend's generosity; while the latter was a smile of relief, because Sun Peng didn't want the two to be at odds with each other, which would ultimately affect the quality of the picture book.
"Haha, very good!"
Clapping his hands, Sun Peng laughed and took out a stack of white paper from his bag: "Girls, these are some characters and scene design drafts I drew myself... Of course they are just sketches. The other one is a finished draft.
That is the standard I want. If possible, I hope you can draw a short paragraph based on these sketches...at least ten pages, okay?"
After the other party agrees, of course the inspection will begin.
A story of more than 10,000 words may not seem long, but turning it into a picture book for children is a big project. In fact, this is also determined by the nature of children's books, with fewer words and more pictures, and the length of each book must be limited. You can imagine
At night, parents tell their children stories to coax them to sleep, but they end up taking out a picture book with several hundred pages. If they can’t finish listening to it, they will go to bed obediently? So although it only has more than 10,000 words, I’m afraid it will take a lot of books. As long as
Just set the end of each book.
Therefore, it would be a big loss if you wait until the two girls start having sex or find out that it is not suitable until the end!
Of course the two girls understood this. Chen Ruoyi took Sun Peng's sketch and handed it to her roommate first, then nodded happily: "Of course, but even if the two of us are together, it may take a week or two.
time, please wait patiently.
"Of course there's no problem with that."
Smiling and nodding, Sun Peng continued: "I have only one request. I hope you can use your best ability to draw it well! If the time is not enough, you can extend it as much as possible. In short, it must be exquisite and comparable to yours."
The best work! In addition, as you can see, this set of picture books is very long, so it is definitely not targeted at young children. They are not yet capable of appreciating such long stories, so you should also pay attention to the style of painting..."
While the two were talking, Yu Ruonan had already started looking through Sun Peng's designs.
But at first glance, Yu Ruonan's brows quickly wrinkled. The other party's design was not particularly detailed, but what he wanted to express was very clear. She naturally understood it at a glance. And she had to
What I admit is that he is indeed the author of the original work, and the characters and scenes he designed are indeed very suitable for the story just now.
But seeing the finished piece...
Biting his lip, Yu Ruonan suddenly asked: "Mr. Sun, ordinary picture books don't have such exquisite pictures. If we follow this standard, we will need to spend too much time and energy!"
"...let me take a look."
Hearing this, Chen Ruoyi was slightly startled, taking the picture from her roommate's hand, and then quickly frowned.
The characters and scenes were drawn by Sun Peng himself, but the final draft was roughly drawn by him, and then he asked the master Xia Weiqing to process it. The requirements of the picture are naturally clear at a glance... Compared to most picture books on the market, this level
It’s indeed a bit exaggerated!
"Yes, the requirements are indeed relatively high, as I said just now."
Sun Peng nodded and said with a faint smile: "But what you put in will be what you get in return, so before you two start painting, let's talk about the issue of remuneration first..."
