Chapter 185: He Goes to the Far East
Zhongxia's move was very fast, Ding Yanghua said to let the cartoonist come over, and it would be noon.
The distance between Yanjing and Ninghai is not long, it only takes an hour by high-speed train, and Yang Liang picked up Li Xin at the train station, a cartoonist who has just turned 20 years old, dressed in ordinary clothes, looking delicate, and exuding a confident light in his eyes.
"Minister, why are you going to come here in person?"
Seeing Yang Liang appear at the ticket gate, Li Xin looked surprised.
"You get in the car first, and we'll talk as we go." Yang Liang led the young cartoonist into the car, and after instructing the driver to drive, he turned to his head and explained, "Let's go to lunch first, and then visit Duke Anthony." ”
"Duke Anthony?" Li Xin straightened up, a little excited, and asked excitedly: "Will he really give me the sequel to "Detective Sherlock" to paint?" ”
The sequel to "Sherlock", which is something that every cartoonist yearns for, if anyone can draw it, then his fame can be started at once, and with the prestige of Duke Anthony alone, he can be on the Chinese news.
This sequel has never been revealed, and it is different from the original Sherlock. After years of copyright adaptation of the original work, the novelty of readers has long disappeared, and even if it becomes a comic, it will not cause a big sensation.
The sequel to "Detective Sherlock", no one knows what is written on the road, how old the protagonist is, whether the protagonist has been replaced, these are all secrets. Once the sequel is released, after forty years, it will inevitably set off a rush of several generations of readers.
"I can't say for sure, Duke Anthony's mind doesn't understand anyone, and it's time to eat later. Let me remind you. Yang Liang explained to Li Xin the reason why he came to greet him. He was worried that Li Xin would not perform well in front of Anthony and lose his chance. So do him some tuition in advance.
The content of the tutoring is the taboo of conversation, Anthony's hobbies, and some polite words, etc., Yangliang has not been in contact with Anthony, but Ding Yanghua told him that the duke is very easy to get along with, so there is not much to pay attention to.
After lunch, he took Li Xin to visit Anthony's hotel.
"Welcome ......" Annie opened the door for them, and under the surveillance of white bodyguards, Yang Liang and Anthony greeted and shook hands, and then introduced Li Xin: "This is the best cartoonist in our company." He didn't make his debut, but his painting skills were not inferior to him. ”
Yang Liang directly used 'the best' to praise Li Xin.
"Oh?" Anthony's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Xin with great interest: "Your painting skills are comparable to what a pity?" ”
"If it's just painting skills......" Li Xin straightened his chest: "I won't lose to Teacher Hexi." ”
He looked confident, and Anthony asked Annie to take out a pen and paper and let Li Xin perform live: "You draw this room and show it to me." ”
Li Xin nodded, he spent a short time observing the room, and then put down his pen like flying, and it only took a dozen seconds to draw the entire room - the degree of completion was very high.
Anthony reached out and touched the paper, but the paper was slightly hot, you can imagine how fast Li Xin was.
And the drawings on paper are also excellent. The whole room is drawn in the style of a manga, and not a single detail is left behind. Even the people in the room were fully painted, and Anthony could even see the expressions on his own faces.
"Wonderful!"
He couldn't help but praise it, this painting is indeed wonderful, Li Xin can memorize and quickly depict the things in the entire room after observing it with the naked eye for a while, his strength is shocking.
And the works he painted are very beautiful, and they definitely don't lose half a point to He Xi - if He didn't use those very amazing pictures.
Anthony was amazed: "You are really full of talents in China......
He was really surprised, he didn't expect that there would be cartoonists who could be comparable to He Xi, and it was only a company cartoonist, there were several similar cartoon companies in Huaxia distributed in other regions, and maybe there were more young talents who did not appear.
"You've won a prize." Yang Liang was naturally happy when he saw Anthony open his mouth to praise, he explained: "Li Xin has been learning painting since he was a child, he has a good painting skills, he transferred to comics five years ago, and now he has only reached this level. ”
Relatively speaking, Yang Liang still thinks that it is a pity, it is a person who has not undergone professional learning. And painting skills are the foundation of cartoonists, it can't represent the real strength of cartoonists, whether Li Xin can compare with what a pity, but also depends on the content of his cartoons.
Anthony admired Li Xin very much, but in the ensuing conversation, he didn't say anything about the sequel to "Sherlock", just when Yang Liang couldn't help but want to bring it up, Anthony suddenly asked, "Have you found it?" ”
He was more interested in this matter, Yang Liang was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "I haven't received any news, you wait, I'll call and ask." ”
Yang Liang went out to call to inquire, but the secretary gave an unexpected answer: What a pity that he is not in Ninghai!
Half an hour later, the secretary came to the hotel, and there was a blonde woman with him, naturally Alice.
"What country are you from?"
Seeing Alice for the first time, Anthony asked curiously.
"I'm a native of China."
Alice stood in front of the old duke and bowed her head in reply, her heart extremely nervous. The development of the situation was too surprising to her, and after Saber's identity was reported, the social response was very small, and Alice thought that this matter was over.
Who would have thought that before the ass was hot at work in the morning, he suddenly killed the original author of "Sherlock". Not only does he meet the prerequisites for enmity with Meng Huo, but he is also a British duke, and he is very sensitive, and Saber can't tell if he touches him.
"Huaxia?" Anthony looked at Alice a few times in surprise, but soon, he frowned and asked, "Why don't you leave Ninghai?" ”
It's a pity to leave Ninghai now, this time is too coincidental, and it has to be doubted.
"That's right, what a pity the teacher and his mother left Ninghai at eight o'clock this morning." Alice replied carefully, she felt very lucky, Meng Shu decided to take a vacation and leave yesterday, and Anthony showed up today.
If Zhongxia Company had notified Phoenix Company a few hours in advance, Meng Shu might not have been able to leave. But now...... Alice wants him to go as far as possible.
"Have you confirmed?" Yang Liang looked at the secretary, but he still didn't believe it.
"There's no mistake, I've confirmed it at noon." The secretary nodded, looking a little embarrassed: "It's a pity that the teacher took the flight at eight o'clock this morning and flew to the extreme east." ”
"What is he doing in the Far East?"
Anthony's face was full of surprise.
"It's a pity that the teacher went to pick up the wind." Alice explains: "He said he was going to the Far East to see the cherry blossoms, and now it's cherry blossom season in the Far East. ”
Every year from mid-March to mid-April, this is the cherry blossom season in the far east, and the whole world knows about it.
Anthony knows the beauty of the cherry blossoms, and Alice's explanation he can accept. When I read the comics two days ago, the cherry blossoms of "Five Centimeters per Second" gave Anthony a very big impression, and he believed that He Xi was a person who liked cherry blossoms, and only such a person could draw cherry blossoms so well.
"It's not a coincidence...... Anthony was a little regretful, and he passed by He Xi: "When will he come back?" ”
This question made Alice's heart beat faster, in fact, Meng Shu went for a walk in the extreme east and would be back in three days. But Anthony appeared in Ninghai, and Alice certainly didn't want him to come back so early.
"...... in two weeks"
So she replied.
"Two weeks?" Anthony frowned, this time is not long but not short, he looked at Li Xin, thinking that he also had to prepare, if he was going to publish a comic, then two weeks was just right to prepare.
"When you come back, you let him come and see me."
Eventually, Anthony made a decision, he did not ask Meng to come back immediately.
Coming out of the hotel, Alice breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't think much about it, turned around and rushed to Ninghai No. 1 Middle School, and called out Shen Jie, who was in class.
"Meng Shu has gone to the extreme east now, and Ninghai is in trouble here, I'm worried that he will take the initiative to run back! Is your job done? What, no? …… Then you finish them all night tonight, I'll prepare a plane ticket for you, and you go to the extreme east to stabilize Meng Shu! ”
If Meng Huo returns to Ninghai in two weeks and he meets Anthony, then "Fate/staynight" will most likely be forced to abort.
Alice didn't want him to toiled for so long without results. (To be continued......)
