Zhang Zian quickly walked downstairs, planning to go to Sun Xiaomeng's clinic to see what she was doing. He also wanted to take a walk to clear his head … His brain was filled with endless English letters.
When he passed by the cashier, he said casually, "I'm going out, I'll be back soon."
He didn't look at Lu Yi Yun when he spoke, because she was always immersed in drawing when there were no customers.
As soon as he walked past the cashier, he suddenly felt a strange gaze coming from behind him. He subconsciously stopped and looked back at Lu Yi Yun.
She was staring at his butt.
"What's on my pants?" He patted his butt inexplicably, thinking that the chair he randomly pulled up on the second floor was dirty, so something was on his pants.
"No! No! Nothing! Nothing! " She came back to her senses in a panic, and with a guilty conscience, she buried her head into the digital drawing tablet, pretending to be focused on drawing.
Zhang Zian felt that she was acting a bit weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird. He didn't have time to think too much, so he hurriedly pushed the door open.
After he left, Lu Yi Yun held her chest and let out a long breath.
"I was almost discovered …" she murmured to herself, since she was the only one in the shop.
"Quack! What did you find? "
A voice suddenly sounded from above her head.
"Ah!"
She screamed and looked up. It turned out that the grey parrot that could talk had landed on the shelf above her head, and was staring at the drawing on the computer screen with great interest.
The drawing software was drawing a handsome young man. He was a popular model in Japanese manga, but the outline of his face was more or less similar to Zhang Zian's.
The young man was handsome, but for some reason, she felt that he was gay …
"No … nothing …" Lu Yi Yun couldn't help but want to cover up, even if it was just a bird.
"Quack! This handsome guy is not bad, is he Xiao Yun's dream lover? "Richard flew to the desktop and looked at the sketch on the screen more closely.
"No, he is the protagonist of the manga," she replied.
"The protagonist of the manga …" Richard narrowed its eyes, and its beak opened into a mischievous arc. "What's his name?"
"This … I haven't decided yet."
Lu Yi Yun was the worst at naming. Every time she needed to name a character in a comic, she would search for a name on the Internet like a headless fly.
"Quack! If that's the case … I think there's a good name. "Richard's smile was full of danger." Do you want to hear it? "
She nodded. "What's his name?"
Richard said seriously, "Nowadays, everything is being internationalized and in line with the international standards, especially comics. Because comics are mainly based on images and only have a small amount of text, it's easier for people of different languages to understand."
Lu Yi Yun's mouth was half open in surprise. She felt that this grey parrot was very smart and reasonable, so she listened more carefully. Comics were like this. As long as the dialogue between the characters was simply translated, a Japanese comic could be easily understood by the Chinese, Americans, and Germans, and vice versa.
Seeing that she fell for its trap, Richard continued, "Nowadays, a lot of people come to China to study and travel, such as the student named Masanori Suzuhara from a few days ago. So, if you want to maximize the audience of the comic, it's better to give the protagonist a name that combines Chinese and Western. Even foreigners will feel more immersive when reading it."
Lu Yi Yun nodded vigorously. "What name should I give him?"
Richard's real intention was revealed. It flapped its wings excitedly and shouted, "Ga ga! How about Billy Zhang? "
Billy Zhang?
Lu Yi Yun felt that the name was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it.
"Huh? How do you know his surname is Zhang? "
She suddenly realized that she didn't tell it that she planned to give the protagonist the surname Zhang. How did it know?
"Quack! Don't mind these details! " Richard carefully observed the young man's style, shook its head, and changed the topic. "This style is not good."
"What's wrong? What's wrong? "Lu Yi Yun felt a little sad when Richard denied her design.
Richard raised one of its wings, pointed at the screen, and said, "You drew very well, but this style is too Japanese. It's too slim. There are a lot of people with this style on the Internet, and it's not easy to recognize. It's easy to be lost in the crowd."
Lu Yi Yun stared at the screen thoughtfully, re-examining her sketch from an objective point of view. Indeed, as the grey parrot said, the protagonist's style was handsome, and it was her meticulous design. However, this style was extremely popular on the Internet, and they were all Japanese girls. Hers was nothing more than a little more exquisite — it was too perfect, and it looked fake. It had no characteristics and was not easy to recognize.
"Then … what style should I use?" She humbly asked for advice.
Her mind was immersed in the world of the comic, and she forgot that she was talking to a parrot. But it didn't matter. She often talked to Molly at home, and Zhang Zian sometimes talked to cats, dogs, and parrots in the shop. Little Celery often talked to hamsters and lop-eared rabbits, so she didn't think it was strange.
Richard rolled his black eyes and said cunningly, "Why don't we draw him as a muscular man? A muscular man with a handsome face, what do you think? "
Lu Yi Yun felt as if she was suddenly enlightened!
Yes! Zhang Zian's other identity was a famous Wing Chun Master, right? It was said that he practiced boxing almost every day. Under that ordinary coat, there must be explosive muscles hidden!
A handsome face and super developed muscles, and then clothes exploding from time to time, this kind of contrast could easily leave a deep impression on the readers!
As for why clothes needed to explode in the pet shop … this question could be explored later.
Her brain was filled with the handsome muscular man who was exploding, and she forgot to think about why the grey parrot could say the word "muscular man" …
"It seems to make sense." She nodded and admitted, "Thank you."
Although this meant that she had to overturn the previous character design and redraw it, she felt that it was worth it.
"Quack! You're welcome. If there's anything you can't make up your mind about, feel free to discuss it with me. " Richard got its revenge, and it fluttered its wings contentedly and flew up. "Okay, I won't disturb your drawing."
It landed on the shelf in front of the door. "Just focus on drawing, and don't worry about anything else. If that idiot Zhang Zian comes back, I'll tell you."
"Okay."
Lu Yi Yun gratefully picked up the paintbrush, and immersed herself in the process of revising the character design. The battle between "no CP" and "beautiful girl" came to an end …
