"I see."

After looking at the paintings brought by Fang Zheng, Yamada Fairy nodded.

"It's just like what you said, Mr. Fang Zheng. The painting is beautiful, but it lacks life... To be honest, I think Black Cat draws better than her."

"Stop cursing, stop cursing, and get down to business."

Glancing at Mashiro next to him, Fang Zheng coughed, trying to change the subject, but the Yamada fairy became excited instead.

"But you know what, Mr. Fang Zheng, this is really rare! After all, most people can't do it to this extent!!"

"Hmm? Oh... Indeed, you are right if you say so."

Hearing what the Yamada fairy said, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately understood what she meant.

Indeed, as Yamada Fairy said, painters like Mashiro are "one in a million" in the comics world.

The reason is very simple. Generally speaking, in the comics industry, although many comic artists will make the same mistake as Mashiro at the beginning, the level of these comic artists at that time was very low, so the paintings they drew would naturally not be very beautiful. It can be said that the soulless painting skills and soulless character design, of course, this kind of thing will not have a market.

But Mashiro is the opposite. She is a soulless character with sky-high painting skills, which gives people a strong contrast. It is rare to see such a freak in the comics festival, so it is no wonder that Yamada Fairy looked at Shiina Mashiro as if he saw a rare animal.

Just like what Yamada Fairy said, not everyone can possess this ability.

"I've got a great idea!"

At this moment, Yamada Fairy suddenly slapped the table excitedly and jumped up.

“I thought of a great story!”

"Oh? What's a good story?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng also became interested, and Shiina Mashiro silently adjusted his sitting posture and looked at her.

"Well, here's the story, listen carefully!"

The Yamada fairy danced with excitement and continued to preach to the two of them.

"The protagonist of the story is a male high school student, but he is a playboy. Due to family changes and his parents' divorce, this playboy does not believe in love. To him, love is just a toy, so he travels among various women, but in fact he feels that his life is just an empty shell, and those women are just products for him to seek excitement."

"Hmmmm, then what?"

"Then, this playboy wakes up one day and finds that everyone in the world is asleep! He can't be woken up anymore! Everyone has fallen into a state similar to hibernation! Then this playboy can naturally start to do whatever he wants!"

"That's it?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng curled his lips immediately, while Yamada Fairy clapped his hands vigorously.

"The next part is the key. Listen carefully, Mr. Fang Zheng! The playboy did whatever he wanted at first, but he soon got bored. However, one day, when he went to a convenience store to look for food, the playboy saw a convenience store worker. Of course, the worker was also in hibernation. The playboy found that the worker was just like himself, just an empty shell. So he became interested in the worker and took her back to his home! What the playboy didn't expect was that after he had sex with the worker, the worker actually moved!"

"Oh? Then what? Did the working girl wake up?"

This plot twist is quite interesting.

"No, no, no."

The Yamada fairy immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"It's boring after she wakes up. In fact, the girl just fell into a state similar to sleepwalking. Of course, Playboy ignored her at first, but what Playboy didn't expect was that the girl who fell into a sleepwalking state was different from the other hibernating people. She needed to eat and drink water, so he had to start taking care of the girl. Then Playboy was gradually attracted to the girl and felt the true meaning of love..."

"I see, it's using yellow as a metaphor! It's indeed a racial talent!"

After hearing this, Fang Zheng suddenly understood and immediately clapped his hands in admiration.

As we all know, Japan has always been the world leader in small movies, especially in Asia. But in fact, the original adult industry in Japan is not like the so-called "Shibuya Girls Amateur.**I" and the like, but has rich meanings.

Especially in the 1980s and 1990s, although Japanese short films and adult animations were under the banner of serving the audience, they would use them to illustrate some social problems and phenomena and reflect on them. It can be said that even if Japan made a "Widow Home Alone" at that time, it would intersperse social thoughts and discussions on human nature such as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problems and the destruction of women by feudal conservative culture. It can be said that this is the racial talent of the Japanese.

It can be said that at that time, both the small movies and animations in Japan were both erotic and profound, completely different from those that were simply made later. They were full of questions about society, the dark side of human nature in modern society, and the conflict and reflection between morality and desire. Their depth was far beyond the comparison of these amateur small movies in the future.

It's just a pity that with the development of the society, everything is moving towards fast-food consumption, and the racial talents that Japan used to be proud of have been replaced by simpler short films that are more fast-food... Well, from a certain perspective, this is still quite disappointing.

For a story script like the one proposed by Yamada Fairy, we can see many social issues just from the short introduction, such as the impact of parents' divorce on children and the youthful confusion of the younger generation in Japanese society. If you really dig deeper, you will find a lot of things.

And this story is indeed very suitable for Shiina Mashiro's soulless and exquisite painting style, because according to the setting of Yamada Fairy, the original male protagonist is just an empty shell, and everyone else has fallen into a hibernation-like sleep, which just fits Shiina Mashiro's style, except...

“The conflict of the story is key.”

Fang Zheng frowned and thought carefully. Although there was no problem with Mashiro at the beginning of this story, it was not possible in the later stages. After all, according to Yamada Fairy, this was a process of gradual growth of the protagonist, that is, a story of an empty shell gradually turning into a human. With Mashiro's current style of painting, it was no problem to draw an empty shell, but whether he could draw the growth process was another matter.

"There's nothing I can do about that."

Yamada Fairy spread her hands helplessly. After all, she was just a light novel writer, not a manga artist. These were the only suggestions she could give. When it came to painting itself, she was powerless. If she knew how to draw, she wouldn't have asked Eriri to help her with the illustrations.

"Anyway, thank you very much. You are indeed a genius light novel writer. You are just different. Amazing."

Fang Zheng gave a thumbs up to Yamada the Fairy, who also smiled proudly.

"Oh, hahaha, of course. Don't you see who I am? I'm the popular light novel writer Yamada Fairy!"

Although a bit narcissistic, Fang Zheng also acknowledged what Yamada Fairy said. To be honest, if Yamada Fairy was not a popular light novel writer, he would have invited Fairy to join his new company to work on EROGAME. After all, if Yamada Fairy was willing to join, then all the problems of Fang Zheng's new company except for the voice actors would be solved.

Of course, with Yamada Elf's strength, he can even release the game directly without voice actors. After all, there are many EROGAMEs that rely solely on graphics and text without voice actors, such as the three great fan works "Tsukihime" and "Cicada Song". If Yamada Elf is willing to join, then Fang Zheng is confident that he can create one of the three great fan works in this world.

But unfortunately, Yamada the Fairy has become famous, so it is impossible for her to go back to the adult entertainment industry.

Oh, it's really hard to find someone with potential, who is not famous and likes to write ERO scripts.

Anyway, the other party pointed out a way, and Fang Zheng thanked the Yamada fairy and left with Mashiro.

"……very nice."

On the way home, Mashiro couldn't help but speak. Fang Zheng turned his head and saw that Mashiro was staring quietly ahead, with unprecedented envy and longing in his eyes.

Although in terms of honor and status, Mashiro is much higher than Fairy, after all, Yamada Fairy is just a popular light novel writer in Japan, while Mashiro is a world-renowned painter. But in terms of creation, Mashiro is obviously not as good as Fairy, after all, the latter only conceived a very attractive story outline in less than five minutes after looking at Mashiro's paintings, while Mashiro himself couldn't grasp the key points after thinking hard for a long time... It can only be said that everyone has his own strengths.

By the way, the story of the veteran cartoonist girl and the innocent photographer that Yamada Fairy told Fang Zheng about before has now begun serialization, and the response has been quite enthusiastic. Someone from the company has already come to her to discuss the issue of animation. This shows that Yamada Fairy's creative talent is indeed not to be underestimated.

This was especially true considering that the idea came to her instantly after she heard Fang Zheng's words.

This shows that for some people, inspiration is something that is bought wholesale by the kilogram, and they can't use up the extra so they just give it away.

But for some people, even if it is calculated in milligrams, it is not enough.

Shiina Mashiro likes comics and longs to create her own world, but she can't find a clue no matter how hard she tries. However, Yamada Fairy can easily give her an idea, and she doesn't even think it's a waste - because she can find more.

"Fang Zheng."

At this moment, Mashiro seemed to have made up her mind and looked up at him.

"Can you go on a date with me tomorrow?"

"Of course."

For the Time Dragon, this is naturally not a problem.

When it comes to time management, Fang Zheng is a professional.
