Chapter 124 Looking for a manga assistant!

Use a couplet to describe the current Su Shichen: I don't make a sound when I hear the wind and rain, the sound of reading, family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, and world affairs are none of my business.This is Su Shichen's current state, no matter how fierce the noise outside is, Su Shichen concentrates on drawing his own caricature and remains unmoved.

"I've been drawing for several days, and I haven't even finished a single chapter. This is too tiring!" Su Shichen also felt a lot of pressure. It is really a very challenging thing to complete an animation by himself. .

In fact, most of the well-known cartoonists, no matter in the previous life on Earth or in this world, have assistants, ranging from two to five. There is also a comic "Cartoonists and Assistants" that specifically depicts the work of cartoon assistants.

Yoshihiro Togaken is a good example of challenging such a difficult task. Yoshihiro Togaken has a nickname called the King of Suspended Magazines, and is affectionately called "Old Thief Token" by fans.

Jumping off the script is a completely cheating image, and in the end it even developed to the point of only drawing ten episodes a year. In fact, Su Shichen fell into a huge pit called "Hunter Full Time".

Su Shichen didn't want to be like this. Originally, his plot was questioned on the basis of "The Wilderness" and "Sherlock Holmes". He didn't want to be like the old thief Fu Jian, so the matter of finding an assistant It must be done.

Recruiting a manga assistant is easy and simple, but also difficult. The key is that there is no way out, so I still have to go to Wang Ni.

When she came to Shanshi Culture Communication Co., Ltd., Wang Ni happened to be leaving the company.

"Auntie, where are you going?"

"Xiaochen, you came just in time. Let me take you to meet someone." Wang Ni acted swiftly and swiftly, and Su Shichen was dragged into the car before he had time to ask who he was meeting.

"Who is Aunt going to see?"

"You'll know when you get there." You'll know when you get there, so you won't ask any more questions. Wang Ni drove the car for about ten minutes, and then drove to an office building. Judging by the height and decoration of the office building , not as good as their Shanshi Culture Communication Co., Ltd.

Take the elevator to the seventh floor. Their destination this time is Guiman Club. Once again, they can think of the purpose of coming here when they think of his "Slam Dunk" to be published in two months.

The owner of Guimanshe is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with hair on the top of his head in the shape of the Mediterranean Sea, and a pair of small eyes revealing the shrewdness unique to a businessman.

"Xiaochen, this is Liang Yin, the president of Guiman Club. Our Shanshi Culture Communication Co., Ltd. cooperates with Guiman Club. Your "Slam Dunk" two months later will be handed over to Guiman Club for operation," Wang said. Ni introduced: "President Liang, this is the talented writer Su Shichen who is the backbone of our publishing company."

Wang Ni calls Su Shichen the pillar of the company, and Su Shichen can fully bear this title. Looking at the three best-selling books of Shanshi Culture Communication Co., Ltd., all of them are works of Su Shichen: "The Great Desolation" 320 The sales of more than 270 copies ranked first, "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" ranked second with 180 million sales, and "The First Close Contact" ranked third with [-] million sales.

In fact, although the president of Deyun Publishing House did not know that Tian En was Su Shichen, and that "The First Intimate Contact" was also Su Shichen's work, he really regretted it very much. If he was not so greedy for money at that time, how much Give some money to sign "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" and then "The Prehistoric", and the huge profits will belong to his Deyun Publishing House.

But there is no medicine for regret in this world, so it’s not a big deal. When every book written by Su Shichen sells better in the future, the president of Deyun Publishing House may feel remorse, and may even have a kind of wishful thinking. It feels like hitting a wall to commit suicide!

"It turns out that this is Su Shichen, who is known as the most talented person in China. I have read the two mystery novels you wrote, "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" and "The Four Signatures". The peak." Liang Yin eagerly held Su Shichen's hands, looking like a fan.

Su Shichen doesn't like Liang Yin's hypocritical person very much. He obviously hasn't read it before, and he said he likes it very much. At most, he just read some reports about him, even "Sherlock Holmes" " and "The Four Signatures" are not even a book.

However, such hypocritical compliments are indispensable in interpersonal communication, so although Su Shichen didn't like it, he didn't point it out, and reached out to shake hands, "Thank you, President Liang, for your support. With the likes of a capable person like President Liang, I will be motivated to write books in the future." It's more than enough."

"Where is it, when it comes to powerful people, President Wang Ni is the powerful person."

"President Liang, how is he thinking about "Slam Dunk"?" Wang Ni got to the point.

"It is of course very good to be able to cooperate with your company. Just signing the name Su Shichen on the comics is already a shining sign. I believe that it will not take much to publish the comics in two months. Publicity, as for other aspects, President Wang, you can rest assured that I will work well."

"President Liang, I am naturally very relieved. Guiman Club is the most powerful comic publishing house in Yangcheng."

"Where is there, compared to President Wang and your talented Shanshi Culture Communication Co., Ltd., my small temple is really nothing." In fact, Liang Yin's words are considered modest. Although the comics in China in this world are more developed than those on Earth There are quite a few, but there is no cultural circle so popular.

It is estimated that there are not many comic publishing houses in Yangcheng, so Guimanshe, the strongest comic publishing house in Yangcheng, has nothing to be proud of, and it is indeed inferior to Shanshi Culture Communication Co., Ltd., which has a place in Su Shichen Town .

Cooperating with a comic publishing house that is too large will make Wang Ni unable to seize the initiative, which is very disadvantageous; while cooperating with a comic publishing house that is too small, it is even worse that resource channels are too narrow, and Guiman Club can be said to be just right.

"President Liang, I don't know if you can do me a favor." Su Shichen did not forget this matter.

"What's the matter? As long as it's something that my Guiman club can do, I will definitely help." Liang Yin's tone almost smacked his chest. In fact, Liang Yin's words are very skillful. Don't think about Liang Yin. When you meet someone for the first time, you can do your best to help you. What he said is within the scope of my Guiman Club's capabilities. What is within our capabilities depends on what Liang Yin says.

"Generally, there are several assistants when drawing comics, but now I am alone, so I wonder if President Liang Yin can introduce one or two assistants to me."

"Cartoonists need assistants of course." Liang Yin looked a little embarrassed, "All the people who submit articles in our Guiman Club want to be cartoonists, and the salary of an assistant is not comparable to that of a cartoonist. Although I am the president of Guiman Club But it’s not easy to force people, is it?”

It is true that even the remuneration for some manga gods as assistants is not too high, but this Liang Yin has said so much, it can be summed up in four words "I can't help".

Sure enough, he is an old fritter, and he is unwilling to help even a little bit.

"President Liang, then we won't disturb your work, let's go first." "I'm really sorry." Liang Yin seemed ashamed for not being able to help Su Shichen, and the old fox's acting skills were very good.

"Bang!" As soon as he left Liang Yin's office, an employee bumped into Su Shichen head-on. Fortunately, it was a thin female employee. If it was a burly male employee, the one who was knocked to the ground would definitely be Su Shichen.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The female employee apologized again and again, and then cleaned up the materials on the floor.

"It's okay, I'll help." Su Shichen followed suit and found a stack of sketches.

"These sketches are going to be published?"

"Oh, writer Su, you don't know something. These are manuscripts submitted to our Guiman Club but not approved, and then sent back to the author." Liang Yin also came out of the office and explained.

"Oh?" Su Shichen had an idea and said, "President Liang, do you think this is good? Give me these drawings, and I will return them to these authors for you?"

"That's naturally very good, so I'll trouble you, Writer Su." Liang Yin ordered the female staff to hand over all the materials of the rejected cartoonists to Su Shichen.

Carrying a lot of manuscripts into the car, Wang Ni, who was driving in front, suddenly asked, "Is Xiaochen planning to find assistants from these rejected people?"

"That's natural, Auntie is so powerful, I can't hide anything from you." Su Shichen laughed, since the people who passed the review of the manga couldn't agree to it because of the price, it would be much easier for those who were rejected.

"Little tricks of yours, in fact, Liang Yin is also aware of it, but these drawings that are no longer eligible for publication are useless to their Guiman Society, and he can save a return fee by handing the manuscript to you, so He will be so refreshing."

Hearing what Wang Ni said, Su Shichen couldn't help but think of a sentence: Sure enough, ginger is still hot when it's old.

"Did Xiaochen find the right person among these sketches?"

"There are more or less problems with these drafts, most of which are arranged in the plot. For example, this "Signing God of War" comic is about fighting at the beginning. Although the fighting scenes are extremely exciting, there is no plot at all. There are also some flaws in the brushwork, it will be strange if this kind of comics can be published."

"Xiaochen, you are recruiting an assistant, as long as you are qualified as a painter, and you can handle the plot by yourself."

"That's true, but I also need to find someone with a pen style similar to mine."

There is a clear example in the previous life on Earth. Masashi Kishimoto, the author of "Naruto", although he is the only one as the main writer, there is a whole studio behind him to do odd jobs for him. Many readers reported whether the author of "Naruto" had changed, so there was a lot of commotion, Su Shichen didn't want this.

So I looked at these drawings seriously, "This author's writing skills are very good, and his painting skills are also quite superb. Why is such a work rejected?"

After reading this manuscript carefully, I found a big problem. If the comic "Contracting God of War" appeared to have no plot, then the plot of this comic is simply too complicated to understand. Su Shichen is just now After reading a chapter, a lot of background settings were thrown out.

Whether you are writing a novel or drawing a manga, you must pay attention to it. At the beginning of the chapter, you can’t throw a lot of baggage and background settings at once like this, and readers will be impatient.

Although the story is miscellaneous, but in all fairness, this artist is very powerful and somewhat similar to his artist, to be precise, he has a slight resemblance to the original author of "Slam Dunk" Takehiko Inoue. If you can imitate it again, the similarity should be It can reach 80.00%, and the author's name is Chen Xin also has a morning, is this considered fate?

Su Shichen took out more than a dozen rejected manuscripts from Guiman Club, and selected three of them.

These three are all very good at drawing, but they were rejected because the stories they conceived were too poor.

First send the rest of the manuscripts that were not selected to the author by courier, and then search for the three people that were selected one by one.

The first one you find according to the distance of the distance, knock on the door!Inside the door was a young man about 24 years old. Instead of opening the door, he opened the door mirror and said indifferently, "Who are you?"

"Excuse me, are you Little Flying Fish, the author of "Flying Fish"?"

"That's right, I'm Little Flying Fish. Are you from Guiman Club? Could it be that my "Flying Fish" has passed the review and can be published?" The author Feiyu's tone immediately became enthusiastic.

"Well, that's not the case. Your work "Flying Fish" was rejected by Guiman Club for some reasons in the plot, and I'm going to draw a manga, so I want to ask if you are interested in being my assistant. I think Your painter is still very..."

"I don't want to be an assistant. I'm going to be a cartoonist in the future. How can I be your assistant for a child? Stay where it's cool." The enthusiastic tone immediately turned into a cold one.

"that……"

"Go, go, go!"

"Wait, give me back my manuscript first." The author Feiyu opened the door and stretched out his hand to ask for the manuscript. After Su Shichen handed the manuscript back to him, he closed it again with a bang, as if to say something more to Su Shichen and the others. It's all a failure. (To be continued.)
