"Cheers!"

The glasses clashed together, and the rich foam splashed out as the orange-yellow liquor shook. Under the light, a slight flush appeared on Illya's white face, and she took a sip of her beer and muttered, "It's bitter." ”

Tamura seems to be drunk. She put her feet on the chair and said loudly: "Teacher's "Shangjing Ghoul" was launched online for the first time, and the sales exceeded one million times! This is not only a victory for the teacher, but also a victory for us!!"

Coo-to-goo, Tamura wiped the foam on his mouth and exhaled happily: "Whew~~ Sure enough, Tsingtao's beer is delicious." ”

"Tamura, you are also a little more ladylike, it is rare that Mr. Li Er has made so many dishes for us today. Gu Yan sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and took a small bite. There was a small glass of red wine in the glass next to it, and it felt as if it hadn't been touched at all.

Li Er came out of the kitchen with the dishes: "Okay, don't worry about her on such a happy day." ”

"Teacher Li Er is the best, I love you!" Tamura seemed to be a little drunk, and shook his chair twice, almost falling off. Gu Yan hurriedly stood up: "Are you okay?"

Tamura shook his head vigorously: "No, it's okay...... Ha, I'll take a break. ”

"Tell me early, don't drink so much......" Gu Yan helped her and sat down on the sofa.

Only Lear and Illya were left at the dinner table.

Illya got a little drunk after taking a sip of beer. Now the roots of her ears were red, as obvious as jewels of pigeon's blood. She glanced at Li Er obliquely with unfocused eyes: "After you finished the show, you did something embarrassing with that female anchor." ”

"Poof......" Li Er was picking up rice, and now he spit out all the rice grains in one go, "What are you thinking in your head, am I that kind of person? And the kind of woman who can drop a pound of powder as soon as she washes her face, I won't choose her even if I have a good appetite!"

"Really?" said Illya, turning her face away, "but I see you're having a good time talking to her." ”

"That's what the show needs. Li Er's face was full of question marks, "What are you talking about?"

"Live the life of a capitalist, and there will be no shortage of women around you in the future. Men are all virtuous, and if they are rich, they will become bad, this sentence is true. ”

Li Er frowned: "What the hell do you want to say......?"

"Nothing. Illya hiccuped, "If there really is a woman who likes you, it will be painful." After all, you're really confused......"

"Huh?"

When Li Er was still wondering, Gu Yan's voice came from the living room next to him: "Teacher Li Er, please come over for a moment, Tamura is crazy with alcohol!"

"It's coming, it's coming. Li Er took off his apron and hurriedly ran over. When I arrived in the living room, I saw Tamura sitting on the sofa, wiping his tears constantly: "I—I'm useless, I can't draw it...... I can't draw anything. I have lived up to Mr. Lier's expectations......"

Gu Yan patted her on the back and comforted her. Li Er walked over and whispered, "What's the matter, can you tell me anything?"

"Teacher Lier. Tamura raised his head and lowered his head again when he saw Li Er, "After talking to you that time, I thought about it for a long time at home. But I couldn't think of anything to draw......"

As he spoke, Tamura burst into tears again.

"Don't cry. If you really can't draw it, don't draw it. It's not a big deal. Lear took out a tissue and comforted her.

Tamura shook his head: "That's not the case. My parents gave me money to come to Huaxia to study comics. I can't even take this step, so I will become a professional cartoonist from now on. I have such a good teacher as you to guide me, but I am still so uncompetitive. I'm so sorry for my parents in Japan. ”

Gu Yan pleaded with Li Er: "Teacher Li Er, I really see it all in my eyes. Tamura, a kid, conceives the story of the manga whenever he has time, and draws many pages of scratch paper. I saw that her discarded manuscript paper was at least four or five garbage bags, but comics are really not something that can be drawn with hard work. You can help her. ”

No wonder I feel a little strange about Tamura's love today, and she mostly drinks beer alone. Li Er thought she was out of love, but she didn't expect it to be this incident.

Li Er sighed: "I'm not an editor now, and I can't make Tamura's manga necessarily serialized in magazines." If that's okay, I'd love to help you see what went wrong. ”

"Really, can you really help me take a look?" Tamura looked up, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Don't look at me with the innocent look you look at me. Okay, okay, let's start from the beginning. Let's talk about what kind of comics you want to draw?"

"Subject matter?"

"Hmm. Different subjects have different characteristics. Everyone has their own favorite theme, right, some people like to watch suspense, detectives step by step to uncover the mystery or something. Some people like to watch hot-blooded battles, young people full of dreams defeat powerful enemies...... Only by deciding on the subject matter in advance can you decide the audience of your comics, what kind of comics do you want to draw?"

"I like bloody battles, but I can't draw ...... Chinese style," Tamura said, starting to lose his head again.

"Then why don't you try the Japanese battle theme?"

"But if it is serialized in China, it is better to use the Chinese style to be more popular with readers. Japanese themes, won't it be too niche......"

"As a foreigner, why do you want to compete with your own cartoonists for Chinese themes? Isn't this a comparison between your own shortcomings and the strengths of others? Since you understand your own culture, you use your own themes to conceive the plot. For example, ninjas are not bad, and there are many people in China who like ninjas as this theme?"

"But the theme of ninjas has been painted badly. Whether it's Hattori Hanzo, Wind Demon Kojiro, or other famous ninjas in history, there have already been classics. Even if I draw again, I won't be able to surpass those veteran cartoonists. Tamura shook his head, looking frustrated.

"Who said ninja manga had to be based on real people in history?" said Lear disagreeingly, "You can completely create a world." ”

"A world in the air?"

"It's all a ninja village, and children are born to be ninjas...... or something."

"I can't do that kind of thing, it's so hard to build a world completely, and make all the settings reasonable and self-consistent. I've never passed my essay since I was in elementary school......"

Seeing that Tamura once again fell into a negative love. Gu Yan couldn't bear it, and said to Li Er: "Teacher, you can give her a script to draw!"

"Sister Gu Yan, that's too much. ”

Gu Yan shook his head: "With your level, it takes the Year of the Monkey to come up with a story of a sufficient level, and we don't require particularly exciting stories, as long as we can serialize, we will be satisfied." Mr. Lear, can you fulfill Tamura's wish?"

Li Er smiled bitterly, I really think I'm Doraemon, I can have any story I want.

While he does have a story about ninjas, it carries too much weight. He really didn't want this story to be published in other magazines, especially "Shangjing Boy", if it was in that magazine, wouldn't he be an enemy?

But seeing Tamura in such pain, Li Er couldn't bear it. For him, it's just one of many stories, but for Tamura, being able to serialize manga is just one of her words.

But could she really afford the weight of that comic, or did she really have the ability to draw it?

You have to test it before you can decide.
