Chapter 16 The first pot of gold (2)

The two news media, Yomiuri and Asahi, exaggerated the incident of the Japanese cartoonist's work becoming mainstream American media, which made the sales of "Ocean Cookies" soar. The reprinted sales of the School Children's Club also quickly rose from 100,000 copies at the beginning to 220,000 copies, becoming the second largest comic sales performance in Japanese history. The School Children's Club naturally made a lot of money, and a young man named Ai Fei also began to become familiar with the Japanese: it was this person who made his first time with the help of his career.

The comics produced became the second cartoonist in the schoolchildren's club to generate more than 100,000 yuan in circulation. It was also this person. He became a young star who made his works on the domestic entertainment page of mainstream American media. Even Americans think that his comics are very good and are in line with the taste of Americans. Even after his renderings, the deeds of the horse racing called Ocean Biscuit, which had long been retired, were once again dubbed and became a star in the minds of newspapers and the people.

Ai Fei, together with the benefits brought by the reprint of the classmate's children's club and the royalties offered by the United States, had become a rich man with a net worth of 130,000 before the end of March 1950! Among the young people of his generation, a young man with the same magical experience like him was the first to be in the first place.

Faced with her son's success, Ai Yukiko was fine. Apart from being happy for her son, all she could do was to be happy for her son; but this doesn't mean that her husband was the same. Ai Zhu Taro was extremely depressed! He never thought that his 18-year-old son would be able to make contributions to this family in a few months. What's the reason for this?

For this reason, whenever Aizhu Taro returns home, he deliberately acts in a powerful manner. He takes over and criticizes his wife's food or every move of the child! The improvement of the family's economic conditions actually leads to the stiffness and tension of the family atmosphere, which Ai Fei did not expect in advance.

Ai Fei's mind was not completely lying on his father's temper. After about a week of rest, a complete outline of the story of "Transformers" has been released! This outline is based on the "Transformers" cartoon that he had watched and the materials of the movies he later filmed. All the machine heroes in the positive and negative camps such as Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Machine Dinosaur, etc. were gathered by him and became the characters in his works. It's nothing to have a story. The most important thing is that some Autobots' stylings have begun to be released gradually. What is lacking now is to use longer to connect the images of these robots into the comics. Of course, this job is not a project that can be completed in a short period of time.

Standing up from the desk in the bedroom, Ai Fei stretched out: "Mom..."

"Hi Yi!" Ai Shizuko's voice came from outside: "Is there anything wrong?"

"Hungry!"

"Please wait. There is the sushi that Nishio-jun sent when he came last time! Do you want to eat it?"

“I want to eat.”

"Hi Yi." Facing his son's request, Ai Shiko has always been respectful and obedient.

After taking the sushi, Ai Fei had not eaten a bite, he heard someone shouting outside: "Ai Feijun? Let me know!"

"Ah, here we come!" Walking to the door, Kumamoto Takahashi, the deliveryman of the post office, pushed the bicycle and was picking up a letter from his pocket. When he saw him come out, the latter immediately smiled and bowed deeply: "I thank you for giving your work to my little girl last time!"

Takahashi Kumamoto is a deliveryman at Uenoku Mail Office. He has an 8-year-old daughter at home. He likes to read comics the most. However, due to family conditions, he can only see some expired comics that others don’t want from school. Moreover, there are often no covers or back covers. Once Mrs. Takahashi talked about this when chatting with Ai Yukiko. After Ai Fei found out, he went to the school club and found a lot of continuity old magazines from there, of course, including his own works and distributed them to the children living around him. Such a simple effort also exchanged for good interpersonal relationships among his neighbors in Uenoku. This is how Mr. Takahashi is like this. Every time he has Ai Fei’s letter, he will deliver it to him as soon as possible.

Ai Fei smiled: "Don't be so polite, as long as Miss Lizi likes it."

"I like it, I like it so much!" Takahashi smiled all over his face: "Ruiko told me that in the future, I will be a person like Brother Ai Jun and draw a lot of comics!"

"That's great!" Ai Fei glanced at him: "Then..."

"Ah, hey!" Takahashi bowed again, took out the letter from his pocket and handed it over.

Ai Fei took the envelope, opened it a little and looked at it, and a proud smile immediately appeared on his face: "It's true!"

“Eh?”

"Ah, I'm sorry, thank you, Mr. Takahashi."

"So, goodbye!"

"goodbye."

He walked into the room with a opened envelope in his hand. Ai Yukiko smiled and greeted her, holding sushi in her hand: "What's the matter with Xiao Ai Jun?"

Ai Fei handed over the letter in his hand: "Show you see?"

Ai Yukiko took it and saw his eyes widened: "Dear Ai Feidian, I am honored to notify you that the work "Points and Lines" you participated in was unanimously praised by all judges. After a joint vote, it was selected as the first prize in the category of the novel cracking of novels in this award! I hope you will bring the novel draft and my household registration book. On February 12, Showa, Isaibo-cho Ichibo-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, on February 12, Showa, to attend the award ceremony. All colleagues of Asahi Shimbun, sincerely await your arrival while sincerely congratulating you on your achievements! Send an invitation with you, please carry it with you."

Ai Xiko looked at the letter and then looked at her smiling son. The so-called "Xiao Ai...jun?":

"Mom, do you remember what I told you? There are still many things I can do! Now you believe it?"

"Believe, mom believes it." Ai Shizuko nodded frequently: "But, Xiao Ai Jun, what big reward this time..."

"It's a novel I conceived, and I may have been liked by these people. Oh, there are a few days to be the time for the award ceremony. Mom, prepare my clothes for me!"

"Hi!" Ai Yukiko agreed happily.
Chapter completed!
