My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 92: Nanjiatan

   On the first day of the first month, everyone gets up very early.

  Since Ji Yinxuan rarely lives in this villa, she doesn't know much about people nearby, so she didn't visit her neighbors for New Year greetings.

   Shen Xin and Yan Fei called. After a few years, he was considering whether to contact Yang Bo, but Yang Bo called Ji Yinxuan first.

   After the New Year's greetings, Yang Bo told Ji Yinxuan that he still wanted to call Shen Xin, but Ji Yinxuan stopped him.

   "No, he is sitting opposite me." Ji Yinxuan said naturally.

   "Huh? He is sitting across from you? Wait...what's the matter?"

   Shen Xin can almost imagine Yang Bo's expression, his open mouth should be able to hold two eggs.

   "Wait a minute, let him tell you the reason." Ji Yinxuan handed the call to Shen Xin directly.

   Before Shen Xin had time to speak, Yang Bo immediately asked: "Hey...what's the matter with you? When did you go to Hongchuan? And...still with the senior sister."

   "Isn't it the work of you painters? If you can make the background spatial sense and not so abstract, I won't have to work overtime during the Chinese New Year." Shen Xin said angrily.

   "Huh? You just went there for this?" Yang Bo smiled awkwardly.

   "After the year, I will have more things, how can I have time to deal with these?" Shen Xin said.

   Yang Bo felt guilty and apologized again and again.

   "Don't blame you. Some things are attitude problems, and some things are ability problems. As long as you try your best, you can't ask too much." Shen Xin behaved grandiosely.

   "……"

   Yang Bo didn't want to talk to Shen Xin for an instant.

   At noon, everyone started their own plans.

   "I heard that Nanjiatan has an ACG atmosphere, and there is also a movie theater. I'm going to have a look there first."

   For fans of China’s second dimension, Nanjiatan District has a very high status, with various animation shops, model shops, theme cafes, video game stores, and China’s largest comic book stores.

  If you look for it seriously, you can even find the original comic magazines of 11 districts such as "Shoun Leap", as well as the original game console.

In addition, there are some comic tools that are not very common in the field, such as a feather brush to remove eraser dust, a fixing fluid for saving artwork, or an X-shaped mold for drawing effect lines, which can basically be found one by one. .

   The status of Nanjiatan in China is similar to Akihabara in the 11th area of ​​the earth, and it is considered the most concentrated area of ​​China’s ACG elements.

   "Or, let's go shopping together and buy something by the way." Ji Yinxuan said.

   The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China, but many shops will still be open, but the business hours may be adjusted.

   Xi Muhan also showed interest. Charlotte didn't say anything, but her expression told everyone that this proposal was very good.

   Finally, Ji Yinxuan decided, Shen Xin went to the movies, and the three of them went shopping.

   So, everyone took a break and took a bus to the city.

   Hongchuan’s economy ranks among the best in China, which is not comparable to a second-tier city like Yunhai.

   After entering the city, there are many tall buildings on both sides of the road, making people overwhelmed, but most of the tall buildings are closed, and the usually crowded streets are extremely empty today.

   Charlotte parked the car in the parking lot, and four people got out of the car one after another.

  Shen Xin and Xi Muhan came to Nanjiatan for the first time, and also the first time they came to a place where ACG elements are so dense.

   Although some stores are closed, some large stores are still open, such as model toy stores, video game stores, and animation product stores, but their doors are open.

   After Charlotte's introduction, Shen Xin also knew of several shops selling 11-zone game consoles and original magazines.

   Shen Xin doesn't understand Japanese, so he is not very interested in these things. After two glances, he went to the shop selling comic tools.

   Xi Muhan looked around. She had seen some of these painting tools, such as dip pens, dotted paper, cloud rulers, and duckbill pens, but some things had never been seen, such as feather brushes and net knives.

   Ji Yinxuan seemed to understand, and she looked at the surrounding goods like a horse.

   Charlotte is not very interested in these, all her attention is on the safety of Ji Yinxuan.

   Shen Xin looked around, and finally stopped in front of an instrument the size of a liquid crystal display.

   "Digital display?"

   Most cartoonists in this world use pen and paper. A few people in Yunhai choose to use a tablet, let alone a digital screen.

   Compared with paper and pen, electronic devices have their own advantages and disadvantages.

For example, the tablet is easy to operate, and it is easier to modify the original document and order paper on the Internet, but it also has shortcomings. After all, it is simulating the effect of paper and pen. Therefore, the pressure of the pressure-sensitive pen drawing on the tablet is not as good as the real one. Paper and pen.

   Moreover, the development of this world on the digital tablet is a few years later than the earth, and it has not been generally accepted by cartoonists. At the same time, the effects of the digital tablet simulation cannot satisfy top cartoonists.

   Shen Xin picked up the pressure-sensitive pen placed on the counter and drew a few times on the digital screen, and soon a sketch of a character appeared.

   The salesperson opened his mouth slightly. Before he could speak, Shen Xin erased the sketch again, and the salesperson sighed secretly.

   "Do you want to buy it?" Ji Yinxuan asked.

   Shen Xin shook his head, "Not yet, I'll talk about it in a few years."

   Xi Muhan glanced at the price of the digital display, 60,000 yuan. Thinking that Shen Xin cares about the price, he whispered: "There is no shortage of this money at home, or just buy it?"

   Ji Yinxuan also nodded ~lightnovelpub.net~I'll give it to you. "

   "Farewell." Shen Xin waved his hand quickly, "It's not a matter of money. The use of a pen display depends not only on its own quality, but also on the supporting software. It may be better in a few years."

   In the shop, Shen Xin could not explain clearly that this pen display did not meet his requirements, so he could only vaguely say the past.

   Xi Muhan and Ji Yinxuan heard this, understood Shen Xin's thoughts, and did not speak any more.

   After coming out of the store, the three girls had a little discussion, decided to buy some clothes, and insisted not to let Shen Xin follow. Shen Xin gave the bank card to Xi Muhan, took 200 yuan in cash, and began to wander around Nanjiatan.

   said it was hanging out. Actually, Shen Xin also has a purpose, that is, a comic book store. He wants to know what comics are the hottest in Hongchuan, and how far is the difference between "Y\'s" and "Punishment" in this place.

   He bought a burger in a fast food restaurant, and by the way, he also found out that the largest comic book store in Nanjiatan is "Jiman", which is a bookstore fifty meters to the right across the street.

   According to the clerk's prompt, Shen Xin found "Extreme Man".

   Although it is New Year's Day, there are still many customers coming in and out. Posters of various comics are placed at both ends of the bookstore. Most of them are the signature comics of the three major magazines.

   Last year's hottest "Legend of the Dragon King" was placed in the most conspicuous place, next to the popular "Crime".

   Near the entrance of the bookstore, there is also a poster with the words "pre-sale" on it.

   Shen Xin saw the content of the poster and immediately became interested.

   ""Hunting the Abyss", at 10 am on February 16th, teacher Ye Hexu signed the book for sale, so stay tuned."

   ""Hunting Abyss"... it will be released in 6 days."

   Shen Xin rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.
