Chapter 200 - A Complicated Relationship (1/2)
Chapter 200: A Complicated Relationship
Mr.Sleepy continued to demonstrate his extreme focus on everything else except for updating his novel. Immediately, he alone pulled a dozen or so authors into the group. He even sent Meng Fan a private message saying, “they’re all dumb but loaded.”
Meng Fan was speechless. ‘Can they match you?!’
In five minutes or so, there were over thirty authors in the group.
All of these authors were pretty badass too. Not a single person asked about illustrations, but were asking about one similar problem. Hand speed.
“Meng boss, how did you come to have such fast hand speed?”
These online authors didn’t care for Meng Fan’s badass drawing skills, his amazing basketball skills, and incredible singing. But Meng Fan’s hand speed was what made their eyes green with envy!
“I’m curious how much code you can write out in an hour?”
“He could at least do 10,000 in an hour!”
“Is he a monster?!”
“Shadowless hand!”
“I’m envious!”
“I pray god will give me a pair of hands like this too!”
“I’m more curious how long it takes Meng boss to jerk it hahaha!”
“It must be even shorter than Li Ronghao’s new song, “Bei Bei”!”
“Hehe, do you want to understand what it means to be burnt by a gun?!”
“Dirty mind, get out!”
“No time to explain, everyone, get on the hype train!”
“Drive, to the edge of the city! Roll down the windows… but they’re welded. Nobody’s getting off this hype train today!”
“For real though, can Meng boss share with us some knowledge on how to increase hand speed?”
Meng Fan saw the shameless and pervy banter in the chatroom and felt nothing but respect. As he browsed, a hundred or so more messages popped up. “Jesus, were all author groups this scary?”
Meng Fan didn’t respond to the hand speed questions but replied, “Uhm, I’m going to add my studio members now. They’re all alumni from my school or my classmates, and there are a lot of pretty girls. Guys, let’s slow this train down; I’m scared they will be dizzy. After they join, they’re going to show you their works, so you guys can contact them based on your requirements.”
Meng Fan told the studio employees of the situation, then added Wang Ya Nan to the group. Meng Fan didn’t have everyone else’s contact information, so Wang Ya Nan would add the rest.
The web authors in the chatroom abruptly halted their hype train and became respectable beyond belief.
There was less chatter, but it was unsure if they had gone off to browse and add the pretty girls’ WeChat information.
Yes, it’s not illegal to turn your WeChat moments into a beautiful girl catalog, alright!
As for the speed of the hype train… Meng Fan clearly underestimated his sisters.
Oh, and his seniors too.
“This should be okay, right?”
Meng Fan formed the chatroom and looked towards Qin Jiao. She nodded and gave him a “meh” look.
As for the hand-drawn posters, Meng Fan wanted to provide contact information for those as well, but he didn’t know how many employees could actually do these commissions. The pay was good, but their standards were high too.
But Meng Fan still decided to ask, “What about hand-drawn posters?”
This time, Qin Jiao shook her head. “I’ve seen your posters, and I know their requirements too. Our studio can’t perform such complex tasks at the moment. As for the easier ones, I have people who can find commissions for us.”
As for the studio employees, they quickly divided into several groups based on their own styles and partnered up with the thirty or so famous online authors in the group.
Alongside the deep pockets of the web authors, and their public platforms, the demand for illustrations from the authors were increasing day by day. This was a fresh job market for the illustration industry, and several illustrators, especially the less famous ones were eyeing this industry.
