253 The right assistant is hard to find
He not only has two girlfriends, but also a lover, and has long embarked on the road of no return to become a strong and simple palace man.
Now, while enjoying this comfortable life, he also has a new goal.
"Human beings, indeed, are creatures that are driven by desire in order to keep moving forward. It's really sad......" Qin Han said to himself in the tone of the second middle.
Well, write this down, maybe you can use it in the future when making cartoons.
But soon, his second year of secondary two delusional time alone was interrupted by the ringing of the doorbell.
It was his editor-in-charge, Xiong Zexin, who came to visit.
The two met in the living room, and Qin Han also made her a cup of coffee by the way.
"Thank you, Teacher Qin Han." Xiong Zexin took the steaming coffee cup and took a small sip, "When you are sleepy in the morning, it is so suitable to drink a cup of coffee." ”
After drinking coffee and chatting a few more words, the two of them officially started working.
The process of reviewing and receiving manuscripts has been carried out many times, but this time it was still completed smoothly.
Xiong Zexin put another fifty-page manuscript of "Dragon Sakura" into the briefcase, and nodded: "Okay, the manuscript has been confirmed, there is no problem." Teacher Qin Han, I will continue to trouble you next week, hard work. ”
"It's okay with me." Qin Han waved his hand.
He now has two elf pens to help him, serialize a commercial comic, plus a doujinshi, which is not a lot of work.
However, when "Dragon Sakura" is over, he plans to double open and create a sports manga called "Midfield Core" at the same time, as well as a magical girl-themed shoujo manga like "Beautiful Girl of Light", so he can no longer cope with it in his current state.
Qin Han knew that he needed to take precautions.
Therefore, he has made a request to the White Springs Society since a month ago, wanting to recruit a few assistants to help.
Now when I draw "Dragon Sakura", I don't need an assistant to handle it. However, it is necessary to run in the team in advance to facilitate future work.
Finding the right comic assistant is a great way to test your connections. Like in the past, Qin Han picked up a beautiful girl like Nanami Hashimoto as a comic assistant, which is basically a small probability event that cannot be replicated.
Qin Han is young, even from the time he first submitted to "Weekly Shonen Jump", he has only been a cartoonist for more than two years.
He can't be like his teacher, Tsukasa Hojo, who has already brought out a group of apprentices and grandchildren, and just a phone call, countless young people with manga dreams will come to him as assistants.
Therefore, if you want to find a suitable assistant as soon as possible, you have to rely on the help of the editorial department.
Each of these editors knows many, many cartoonists, some of whom have made their official commercial debuts, some of whom are still struggling on the road of continuous rejection and revision, and some have not even won the newcomer award.
For the latter two, editors often refer them to work as assistants under cartoonists who are commercially serialized. First, you can hone your skills, which is good for growth. Second, they can earn wages and not let these rookie cartoonists starve to death on the way to fame.
After Qin Han moved the idea of recruiting assistants, he immediately went to ask his editor-in-charge, Xiong Zexin.
"Little Bear, have you found a suitable assistant for me?" Qin Han asked.
Xiong Zexin smiled a little embarrassed: "Teacher Qin Han, I have been looking for it very hard, but maybe it will take a little more time." ”
After speaking, she further explained, "Recently, it was really unfortunate that several manga assistants I knew, one of them got serialized in Kodansha's manga magazine, and the other was repeatedly rejected because of his contributions, so he closed his pen and returned to his hometown to get married in frustration. Also, exactly a month ago, two days before you told me that you wanted to find an assistant, I introduced you to Miura......"
Kentaro Miura's "Legend of the Sword Wind" is getting better and better, and has grown into another ace manga in "young_animal", in addition to "Dragon Sakura".
Kentaro Miura's delicate style of painting required a lot of work, so after he started commercial serialization, he quickly recruited many assistants.
Think about it at the beginning, Kentaro Miura strengthened his determination to create "The Legend of Sword Wind", or because of his own encouragement, but now he was robbed of his assistant by the other party, is this considered to be lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot?
Of course, Qin Han did not regret it at all.
It is a great pleasure to be able to witness the fame of a great talent in the comic industry, and to be able to help a masterpiece comic from a past life reappear in the world.
"I hope Miura can maintain his passion for creation. Don't start being lazy just because you have too many assistants, and finally become addicted to idols and can't extricate yourself, resulting in the discontinuation of comics. Qin Han muttered to himself.
"Teacher Qin Han, what are you going to say?"
"Ah, it's fine." Qin Han shook his head. He just remembered the anecdote of Kentaro Miura who was obsessed with "Idol Master" in his previous life and eventually became an idol abandoned house and was unable to update.
"Teacher Qin Han, I'm really sorry for letting you down again and again."
For several weeks, Qin Han asked about his assistant, but he found nothing, which made Xiong Zexin feel very guilty and felt that he had derelict his duties.
But Qin Han didn't blame her.
Although his editor-in-charge is young and sometimes reckless, he has nothing to say about his work attitude and enthusiasm.
"It's okay, you don't have to feel guilty. I'm just looking for an assistant to prepare in advance for a new serialization in the future. It doesn't matter if you can't find it for the time being, it won't affect your work. ”
After listening to Qin Han's words, Xiong Zexin finally stopped worrying about this matter. She took out her energy again and said to Qin Han: "Teacher Qin Han, I will definitely help you find a suitable assistant!" ”
After that, she packed up her things and said goodbye and returned to the editorial office.
Xiong Zexin returned to the editorial office of "young_animal", and many people greeted her when they saw her.
Although she entered the White Springs Club early, and she is still a rare woman among the editors of comic magazines, she is in the editorial department of a very masculine youth comic magazine like "young_animal". But in the eyes of everyone, no one dares to underestimate this little bear.
Because, Xiong Zexin is not only Qin Han, but also the editor in charge of Kentaro Miura. Sitting on two ace cartoonists, her position in the editorial department is unshakable.
There are even rumors that she will become the youngest head of the editorial team.
Xiong Zexin came to the desk of the editor-in-chief of Wada and took out the original manuscript of "Dragon Sakura" that he received.
"What's the content of the next issue of Dragon Sakura?" Editor-in-chief Wada asked.
"The quality is as top as ever, and there isn't much to revise."
"Having a worry-free cartoonist like Mr. Qin Han is really a blessing for us editors." Editor-in-chief Wada sighed.
He noticed that his men were a little sullen, so he asked, "Little Bear, what's wrong?" ”
"Editor-in-chief, I'm worried about the comic assistant."
