In today's era where readers' feedback was very rapid, creators basically didn't need to communicate by receiving letters from readers and then replying to them. They could directly create a group or communicate closely with fans on Weibo.
Of course, Chen Daxiu had his own Weibo, but he rarely posted on it. If he did, he would post pictures of various cars that he had taken. He would also reply to his readers' private messages on Weibo.
When he drew the character of "Zhao Xiaomei" purely as a cameo, the readers' reactions were mostly like this — —
"The eternal bachelor male protagonist, the male protagonist who only loves cars, is finally going to find a good match?"
"Zhao Xiaomei is quite a virtuous character. She's obviously a missy, but she doesn't seem to have the temperament of a missy. The only flaw is that she's too ugly, hahaha!"
"Ugliness needs to be contrasted. Actually, once you accept Teacher Chen Daxiu's style, you'll think that Zhao Xiaomei is really beautiful. But I have to say that the interesting part of this work is the car racing. The cars look very cool, but the characters and whatnot, just make do with it."
"No matter what, it's rare to see a female character, so it's quite exciting. I've been single for so long, even seeing a female character in Teacher Chen Daxiu's style still makes me feel restless!"
"At least it's better than the first prostitute. I don't know what everyone was thinking, but it was really disgusting when I saw it. Even if many people comforted me by saying that the character was not cute or beautiful to begin with, so be it. Anyway, I just hope that Teacher Chen Daxiu won't change the subject and reveal Zhao Xiaomei's dark history. For example, even though she's a missy, she likes to be f * cked by all kinds of men."
Chen Daxiu's reply to the fans at first was that the character of "Zhao Xiaomei" did not have many scenes, and that she was purely an onlooker who only knew how to cheer "666".
But during the process of drawing, inspiration kept flowing, and he could not help but add a lot of scenes to "Zhao Xiaomei". When Zhao Xiaomei's car appeared, and the driving scene was highlighted, the readers' reactions were even more intense. It was only natural that this female character would become popular.
In a work that was already popular, it was very easy for a character to gain popularity. As long as the character wasn't too ordinary and was a minor character, it would be fine.
Without a doubt, Zhao Youyue's actions in the literary world had given the character Zhao Xiaomei a strong presence. She had added a lot of laughs to a work that was not originally funny. There was no doubt that this character would become a highly popular character.
Of course, it was impossible for him to be an iconic character. The reason was explained before.
Zhao Youyue had also seen her drawn appearance and behavior in the manga. To be honest, the image was truly an eyesore. Fortunately, the car was indeed handsome, and the driving was indeed vigorous. The domineering aura of a female driver seemed to be soaring through the manga …
Readers were also discussing her on the manga's Tieba and some anime forums. They felt that this character brought something new to such an extremely clichéd work.
"Zhao Xiaomei is definitely not a cameo. She's super cute. I never expected Professor Chen Daxiu to draw such an eye-catching female character!"
"This Missy character's car is so cool. She could even drive it to the mountains. It's so f * cking fierce!"
"Zhao Xiaomei is too reckless! Even though she doesn't have any driving skills, she has intuition. That's amazing. She's like a mudslide in the driving world. Even an experienced driver like the male protagonist is trembling in her car. It's so funny! "
"This female character is the embodiment of Chen Daxiu's malice towards female drivers. How much does he despise female drivers?"
"Is there such a thing? I feel that Professor Chen Daxiu is very fond of this character. If someone else drove like this, their car would have crashed long ago. She even stepped on the accelerator and stepped on the brake, and nothing happened. I can only say that this character has an aura of never getting into an accident when she's driving … "
"Zhao Xiaomei is really courting death. It feels like she's doing parkour. All kinds of extreme maneuvers. It's scary. If a female driver like this existed in real life, it would be too scary!"
"The interaction between her and the male protagonist is super interesting. I'm looking forward to the next plot development. Maybe one day, she will drive with her special intuition, and drive the technical male protagonist to death!"
…
From the enthusiastic response of the readers, the "Zhao Xiaomei" character possessed by Zhao Youyue was undoubtedly very likable in the literary world. It could only be said that no readers would ever hate a funny character.
Of course, the more Chen Daxiu drew, the more passionate he became. Until one day, when he wanted to continue drawing this character based on his feelings, he helplessly realized that he had lost all of his previous passion!
This was a common occurrence for many creators. Initially, they had already thought of how they would write, and they would feel that they could write until the end of time, because inspiration would never stop flowing. But when it started, creation would become exhausting. No matter how hard they tried, they could not write the same feeling they had at the beginning. It was a very painful thing.
Perhaps it was not the creator's fault. It was just that Lady Zhao, who had caused trouble in the literary world, had successfully obtained the character card and left.
That's right, the highly popular character card "Zhao Xiaomei" had been successfully obtained by Zhao Youyue. However, this character's personality was rather vague. Or rather, the thing that left the deepest impression on the readers was her driving style!
The specific ability of this character card was actually very metaphysical and useful. As long as Zhao Youyue drove with this character card, she would never have to worry about accidents. She could race to her heart's content. Her body would automatically adjust the car's speed to a limit that would not cause any accidents. Then, she would perform all kinds of tricks that would make people's hearts race. In the eyes of others, this was suicide, but Zhao Youyue knew that it was very safe.
However, this highly popular character card was not very practical for her. After all, she did not like racing, and usually had a dedicated driver. Therefore, this character card could be used as a sacrifice, to see if she could gamble on an iconic character in another literary world …
However, Zhao Youyue did not expect that she would have the opportunity to use this character card so soon. It turned out that her cousin, Zhao Hao, was in urgent need of a racing talent!
