Parental Love: Jiang Weimin's Life of Lying Down

A week passed quickly, and Wei Men from Qingdao Publishing House informed Liu Shuo that there was a document that required his signature.

Liu Shuo took the document and saw the words "Songshan Island Garrison Area" on it at a glance. He immediately realized that the document came from Ding Jiqun.

At this moment, Liu Shuo was very happy because he might have one more person to ask for an article.

In this era, it is not easy to become a comic artist. Every artist is an important resource and is sought after by major publishing houses.

The 1970s was an important period in the development of Chinese comic strips.

During this period, comic strips, as a popular art form, were deeply loved by readers.

In order to meet the needs of readers, many publishing houses regard publishing comic strips as their important task.

Seeing that the comic books published by other publishing houses were widely popular and successful after they were released, while Qingdao Publishing House could only get some leftovers, Song Wenqing, the president of Qingdao Publishing House, was extremely anxious.

Song Wenqing asked his editors to actively train new people and commission articles, hoping that Qingdao Publishing House could also achieve good results.

Although the publishing house offers generous remuneration, the entry requirements for comic strip drawing are still too high, and there are too few people who can complete the work independently.

Liu Shuo held the document in his hand and thought to himself: As long as the other party's paintings are not too bad and he has some basic painting skills, he will definitely work hard to cultivate him.

Liu Shuo returned to the spacious and bright office and opened the document in his hand happily.

He gently pulled out the sketch, and the first thing that caught his eye was a lifelike painting. The police dog in the painting looked majestic, with sharp eyes, as if ready to attack at any time.

The cover design of this painting is unique, concise yet powerful. The title "Police Dog Attacks - See Through the True Body" is eye-catching, with the author's four words "Da Jiang Dong Qu" clearly marked below.

Jiang Weimin chose the pen name "The Great River Flows East" based on his own surname. It is easy to remember and meaningful.

Liu Shuo looked at the drawing carefully. The first thing he felt was the tension and impact conveyed by the painting.

The image of the police dog is portrayed vividly, as if you can hear its low and powerful bark and feel its sharp and determined eyes.

This painting made him feel as if he was at a tense and exciting arrest scene, and he could feel the thrilling contest between the police dog and the criminal.

Liu Shuoshuo sat at his desk, carefully reviewing the newly sent drawings one by one.

His eyes were focused and serious, as if the whole world only consisted of him and these drawings.

As he read deeper, he gradually forgot the passage of time.

An hour and a half later, Liu Shuoshuo finally finished looking at all the drawings. He slowly put down the drawings in his hand, let out a long breath, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"The author of The River Flows East has a great storytelling ability. The composition and story details are all very perfect, but the painting skills are a little bit lacking."

But then, Liu Shuo's face showed excitement again, as if he had seen some incredible opportunity.

He immediately stood up and walked quickly to the president's office with the drawing.

Along the way, Liu Shuo was extremely excited, as if he had already foreseen the spring that was about to come for Qingdao Publishing House.

He quickly came to the door of the president's office, walked in without knocking and shouted.

"President, President, our publishing house is going to make a big splash this time!"

Song Wenqing looked at Liu Shuo who was shouting and said, "Calm down, what's wrong? Another writer sent in his drawings."

"Yes, this new writer named Da Jiang Dong Qu drew a comic strip about a police dog tracking a spy."

Song Wenqing's eyes lit up. "The subject matter is good! Bring it here and let me have a look."

Liu Shuo quickly handed over the draft. Song Wenqing took it and glanced at the cover. "This writer's drawing is good. Look at the majestic police dog."

“The basic skills are still a little lacking, but the author’s storytelling ability is very strong. I think it is not an exaggeration to select this comic book as one of the best comic books this year.”

"so good?"

"President, please read it first and then make a conclusion."

After an hour of browsing, Song Wenqing finally finished reading the draft.

"The story is interesting, but who is the spy 'Night Owl'? Who taught him to draw comics like this?" Song Wenqing was very angry after reading it.

Liu Shuo smiled when he heard this and said, "President, this is one of the reasons why I think this comic book is so outstanding.

The author successfully created a tense and suspenseful atmosphere through carefully designed plots and character relationships.

Readers will constantly guess the identity of the spy while reading, and this sense of participation and involvement will make the story more fascinating. "

Song Wenqing nodded in agreement.

“You’re right, that level of suspense and involvement is really one of the highlights of this comic strip.

However, I am still a little curious, how did this writer come up with the idea of drawing comic strips in this way? "

"Boss, this might be the talent of a new painter!"

Song Wenqing laughed and said, "Yes, only talented new painters can have such creativity."

"By the way, Editor Liu, I think the reason why The River Flows East didn't clearly state the identity of the spy "Night Owl" is that they want to reveal it in the next volume!

Looking at the title "Police Dog Attacks - Uncovering the True Identity", you know that the true identity of this spy will not be revealed until the next volume.

This author is really annoying, he has to keep people on suspense. But this also means that Da Jiang Dong Qu may have already conceived the next work. "

"President, you are right. This is indeed the brilliance of the author of Da Jiang Dong Qu. Maybe he is laying the groundwork for his next work, but in fact, he has already told the readers the identity of the spy in this comic strip through the pictures."

"Tell us? Where?" The president looked at Liu Shuo puzzledly.

Liu Shuo quickly flipped through several manuscripts, pointed to one of them and said, "President, look here, what does the object in the corner of this painting indicate?

And the leader’s expression in this painting seems a little unusual.”

Then, Liu Shuo took out two other paintings and pointed out some details, such as the look of a certain character, the position of an object, etc.

Song Wenqing observed the paintings carefully, with a hint of surprise and excitement in his eyes.

Suddenly he realized: "So the spy "Night Owl" is him! The author of "The River Flows East" hid him too deeply.

I didn't notice these details at first. Editor Liu is indeed very careful in his review work."

Liu Shuo smiled modestly: "President, thank you for the compliment. I am just doing my best. However, if we want our publishing house to develop better, we still need you, the helmsman, to take the helm."

Song Wenqing smiled and patted Liu Shuo on the shoulder: "Haha, Lao Liu, stop flattering me.

Without excellent editors like you, how can we produce good works? The development of our publishing house is inseparable from the efforts of everyone. "
