On the last day of the New Year's holiday, Li Er came to the door of the studio with a large basket of materials. Speaking of rare holidays, he spent most of them in the detention center, which feels like a waste when he thinks about it.

Bang bang knock on the door a few times, and after a while, when Li Er felt that he had gone to the wrong door, he saw that the cat's eye in front of him darkened, and the door was also opened. Illya, who was only half as tall as him, looked up expressionlessly and stared at him coldly.

"Come in. ”

"Still angry?"

"What do you say......?" Illya's voice would be as cold as crushed ice.

Illya still hadn't forgiven him...... Li Er thought, and the movement of changing shoes was also a little slower. But he didn't do anything wrong, he really didn't want Illya to worry about him at that time, and she couldn't help much. Speaking of which, it is also predictable that the situation will turn out like this.

It's rare to get a better relationship, because this one is back to before liberation overnight. I hope it doesn't affect the serialization of the manga......

Before Li Er could put on his slippers, there was another sound of footsteps in the hallway, and then he saw two familiar figures appear from not far away. It turned out that the two assistants had also ended their vacation early and were ready to go to the place of work early to participate in the drawing of the manga.

"Teacher Lier, Teacher Eliya, good morning. From a distance, I saw Gu Yan wearing a set of red chest-length skirts embroidered with gold patterns, with a pale yellow shawl on top. Her black hair was coiled high, and a golden butterfly cloisonné enamel hairpin was stuck diagonally on it, fluttering slightly with the fluttering skirt.

A huge furoshiki emerged from her back, trembling and trembling, as if a huge burden had become a sperm. When I looked closely, I realized that it was the big bag that Tamura was carrying. Her tiny body was hidden under the baggage, and I really didn't know how her tiny figure could carry such a heavy thing on her back.

Teacher Li Er...... Ha...... Teacher Elijah...... Ha, I'm back......" Tamura, dressed in a tracksuit, gasped for breath and his cheeks flushed slightly.

Li Er hurriedly said, "Is it heavy?" I'll help. ”

"No, it doesn't matter, it's not far away anyway. ”

"Oh, well. ”

"Huh......" Tamura had a look on his face that was about to cry.

"Just kidding. ”

Li Er helped Tamura take the luggage in and put it down: "It's a bit heavy, what are the things in it." Did you carry it alone?"

Tamura took the disposable water cup that Gu Yan gave her, and said embarrassedly: "It is a souvenir that I brought from Japan, some of which are grown by my hometown, and some of which are given by the villagers." When they heard that I was drawing comics in China, they gave me the best things and asked me to give them to the teachers. ”

"Is that so...... Let me see. Li Er opened the baggage, which contained a few packets of Japanese rice and some dried seafood. He picked up a flat, wood-like object and asked, "What is this?"

"Ah, that's. It is dried bonito, and the shaved fillet can be used to make miso soup, which is delicious. ”

"It turns out that miso soup is made from this stuff. Li Er knocked on the table with a bonito, and it turned out to be a piece of wood that was completely tactile and soundful.

"Hehe, the quality of this bonito is very good. The owner of the fishing shop heard from my mother that when I was a cartoonist in China, she came to my house and gave it to me. ”

"Really......" Li Er was still fiddling with the bonito, "In the eyes of your family, is it very good to be a cartoonist in China?"

Tamura sat in his chair and nodded, "Because of the economic crisis, the animation industry helped Japan solve a lot of employment problems. Therefore, the whole country, regardless of gender, young and old, attaches great importance to the development of the animation industry. Huaxia is also the birthplace of anime, so studying manga here is something my family can be proud of!"

However, Tamura immediately hung his head again: "But speaking of which, I'm just an assistant, and I'm still far from being a full-fledged manga artist." It's already bothering me to use Chinese dialogue, and I don't know when I'm going to be able to write a comic story with Chinese......"

"Do you want to serialize it in Weekly Shangjing Boy?" asked Lear.

"Yes. But ......" Tamura bit his lower lip and looked at the water in the disposable water cup and said, "Many manga artists whose native language Chinese are not able to obtain serialization qualifications in Weekly Shangjing Shonen, and as a foreigner, it must be even more difficult for me to do so." ”

"That's true. ”

"Sure enough...... I still can't be a cartoonist. ”

"But are you willing?"

"Of course I don't want to, but I've heard that the chance of an assistant becoming a serialized cartoonist is less than 1 in 10, and nearly 90% of them are cut in half after becoming a serializer. Can I really do it?"

Tamura hung his head without confidence, and uneasiness and trepidation were almost written on his face. I left my hometown and lived alone in a foreign country, and I didn't know if there was a clear future for the career I was chasing. Like the rest of the people chasing their dreams in this city, she has dreams like soap bubbles, but she is also worried about when they will burst.

Lear saw his own shadow in her. Once upon a time, like Tamura, he aspired to be a manga artist. But at that time, he didn't have any drawing skills, and in the industry that valued painting skills, there was no possibility of becoming a cartoonist.

And his family didn't support him, and felt that his dream was just a fool's dream.

He didn't give up on his dreams, but he wasn't just a daydreamer either. When he failed the college entrance examination, he knew that becoming a comic editor was probably his only chance to enter the industry. So he reported the most unpopular Chinese department.

After graduation, his family hid from him and found him an office job in the party newspaper. He had a big fight with his parents because he was going to apply for a job at a comic magazine, and since then, he has never been in contact with his family.

He has always wanted to become a manga artist, and when he succeeds, he will prove it to his stubborn father, telling him that anime is not something that children can see, and that his dream is not a joke.

"If you don't try it, I don't know if it's going to work or not. At the very least, let's get a complete piece out first. Lear said to Tamura.

"This vacation, I drew a story in my hometown's house, but I'm not very confident in this story......"

"Yes, that's good. I can help you take a look and maybe help you get serialized. Let's talk about it first, I'm not going to be merciful just because you're a girl!"

"Hey, is this true, are you really willing to help me see it?"

"But to tell you the truth, my qualifications as an editor are also very shallow, and what I say is not necessarily right, you just need to refer to it. If there is anything that disagrees with me, you don't have to listen to me completely. Lear said rationally.

"How can there be, Mr. Li Er, you are too modest! A magician who single-handedly transformed the "Wanyou King" that was about to be cut in half into a super-popular comic; he discovered the discoverer of the current "Demon City Boy" master Hua Dan from countless works at a glance; there is also the original comic of the super popular comic, the hottest "Shangjing Ghoul" now! Mr. Li Er, you are now known as GOLD-WINGLE-LEE in our assistant circle!"

Goldfinger Lee, this title is really a shame......

"I always feel like you're talking about someone else. Li Er said with black lines on his head.

"You may not think of it yourself, but as an editor, you can achieve such results in a short period of time. It's like a legendary editor. I don't know how many cartoonists there are, I hope you can be the editor!"

"Hmm...... I'm in charge of the current cartoonist, and I think that's enough. ”

After all, he has a difficult Fu Jian who has ten stars, and then again, that guy recently hooked up with a female cartoonist and started to drag his manuscript again. Want to think of a new reminder method?

"Gu Yan, Tamura, come in quickly. I have four pages here that need to be outlined and blacked out. Illya's voice rang out in the room.

"I've got to get over. Gu Yan put down the teacup, lifted the hem of her skirt, and went inside. Tamura also nodded with Li Er and said, "I'll go to work first." I've got that work at home, can you please help me see it tomorrow?"

"No problem. Lear agreed.

All of a sudden, there was only one person left in the hall, and he looked at the materials he brought and the baggage of Japanese local products, touched his chin and said, "Hmm...... Let's start preparing for lunch. ”
