"Sister Li, have you heard of the game" Dreamside Maroon "? How popular is it in the doujin circle? "Zhao Youyue asked casually.
When Su Li heard the name, she gritted her teeth and said dismissively, "It's just a rubbish game! I really don't know what's so good about it that it deserves a second creation. "
Zhao Youyue had already guessed from Su Li's tone that she was a doujin creator. Even though she only drew 18 x doujinshi, she was still a big shot in the doujin circle. She would always get a booth at the international manga exhibition twice a year. Therefore, Su Li should be familiar with Lady ZUN and her "Dreamside Maroon".
However, Zhao Youyue quickly thought of Su Li's lack of creative ability. Asking her to play a game like "Dreamside Maroon" that required setting and story writing skills was simply torture for her!
Su Li's most powerful creative ability was the various ideas she had when drawing the "pa pa pa" scenes.
"Although the game is boring and rubbish, doujinshi works with this theme are still quite popular in the doujin circle. Because it does not have any copyright issues, and the game characters are also very interesting." Su Li then calmly and objectively evaluated the game. For the sake of Lady Zhao, she suppressed her hatred towards "Dreamside Maroon".
"Do you know that Lady ZUN?" Zhao Youyue asked curiously.
"Hehe, she and I are irreconcilable enemies!" Su Li said decisively.
Zhao Youyue was very curious. She hoped that Su Li could tell her about the grudge between her and Lady ZUN.
Su Li had nothing to hide. She told Zhao Youyue that Lady ZUN's name was Zhu Yinzhu. It was a rather awkward name. She entered the doujin circle around the same time as Su Li. However, Zhu Yinzhu announced that she would bring about a revolution in the doujin circle!
Zhu Yinzhu also said that the 18 x doujinshi was not a real doujin work. It was just an ugly and vulgar work of lust. It was just a trick to cheat the readers of their money. As for what a real doujin was, she would tell everyone with her own actions!
And so, Zhu Yinzhu created the game "Dreamside Maroon." Rather than saying it was a game, it was more accurate to say that she provided the world and character design, allowing the Doujinshi players to reinvent the IP that she created.
There was no doubt that Zhu Yinzhu's insistence and her disdain for 18x doujinshi was the source of the conflict between Su Li and Zhu Yinzhu, who made a living by drawing 18x doujinshi.
Su Li had also interacted closely with Zhu Yinzhu before. She felt that Zhu Yinzhu was a very arrogant person, but on the surface, she pretended to be easy to get along with. She was obviously a girl, but she loved wine as much as an uncle. Moreover, she always wore Lolita clothes, and a pair of high-end black silk stockings on her long and slender legs.
Those who had seen Lady ZUN called her the Doujin Goddess …
"What Doujin Goddess! She's been spending money in the Doujin circle all this time, and she's not making any money at all. My sockpuppet in the Doujin circle, 'Wang Li', is making more money than her. This kind of idealist is so annoying! "Su Li concluded.
Su Li would never say that she was jealous of Zhu Yinzhu, who could spend money without restraint, while she could only draw the so-called vulgar work of lust to earn money.
After listening to Su Li's explanation, Zhao Youyue became interested in Zhu Yinzhu, who was nicknamed "Lady ZUN." She had always liked idealists.
At last, Zhao Youyue told Su Li what she needed help with this time, which was to draw an illustration for the character "Altair." She would not be stingy, either.
This time, Su Li hesitated. It was not because of the misfortune that befell whoever she drew, but because she did not want to increase the popularity of "Dreamside Maroon." After all, "Altair" was created based on the character "Shirotsumekusa," and "Shirotsumekusa" was a character in the game "Dreamside Maroon."
However, she had no choice. Lady Zhao was her good friend and her benefactor. She couldn't refuse to help. Although she said that she would help for free, she knew that Lady Zhao would definitely pay her.
It was like she had accepted another job, and she could earn some extra money.
In the face of money, Su Li had put aside her prejudice against Lady ZUN. She was even considering whether to draw the 18 x doujinshi of "Dreamside Maroon" in the future. This game seemed to be getting more and more popular in the doujinshi circle. If she were to draw doujinshi again, it would be more profitable.
Su Li also learned the name of the doujin novel "Dreamside Maroon," and the name of the author from Zhao Youyue.
Zhao Youyue even asked Su Li if she knew of the author "Setsuna." Of course, Su Li did not. She even said that there were so many authors in the Doujin circle, who would know of a nameless author?
Zhao Youyue obviously agreed with Su Li. This doujin novel was probably the most unpopular work that she had ever entered. Even the failed TV series "War Heroes" was more popular than it.
Su Li always paid attention to Zhao Youyue's jobs, so she went to read the doujin novel after she went back. She was looking forward to it, because she thought that she and Lady Zhao would have the same taste …
However, this time, after reading the first few thousand words, Su Li did not have the desire to continue reading. What the hell was this doujin novel!
At first, Su Li had wanted to study this work carefully, and strive to draw an illustration that would satisfy Lady Zhao. But, she had a headache. She could not understand what this doujinshi author was writing at all!
Under such circumstances, if he wanted to draw a vivid illustration, he could only communicate with the creator himself. Otherwise, the illustration he drew would definitely deviate from the feeling of the original work.
Su Li was not good at original writing and scriptwriting, but her ability to draw manga and illustration was outstanding. In other words, as long as Su Li was matched with an excellent original author, her work would definitely be popular.
Su Li had no choice but to contact Zhao Youyue, and ask her if she could talk to the original author face to face.
Of course, Zhao Youyue was helpless. She wanted to contact the doujin author with the pen name "Setsuna," but she decided to wait for Su Li to finish drawing the character's illustration. Then, she would post the illustration in the thread, and see if she could get in touch with her.
Zhao Youyue had a temporary solution to this problem. She would extract and summarize all the descriptions of "Altair's" appearance and show them to Su Li. Then, she would let Su Li draw "Altair" based on "Shirotsumekusa," a female character that had already been drawn.
Only then did Su Li say that she could start drawing. She could not help but sigh in her heart. Zhao Youyue's taste in reading was getting more and more amazing. How could she read such a clumsy doujin novel?
