Chapter 14: The First Assistant Gets √
Since the end of her work last week, Yue Qianming has been thinking about a question, how to go in the future. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
If it's for life, it's enough to get to this point, but—
"Unwilling, unwilling!"
The boys in the class revolve around him, not because of his talent, but because of his sister and her looks, and the girls in the class hate him, not because of what I did wrong, but also because of my sister and her looks. I don't want to make another vase.
I thought that my comics were published, got good results, and were worth boasting about, but in the end, I couldn't get the approval of the editor-in-chief.
Got a grade that was too high for a newcomer, causing himself to be lost in the praise of readers and becoming a person that even he hated.
That's why I use routines when I'm crazy about Calvin.
That's why I will be addicted to routines and can't extricate myself.
That's why I lost the group of people who loved my comics, not my routines.
After being woken up by Liu Chengfeng, Yue Qianming finally understood that the original comic had become a shackle to her progress, not a ladder.
After thinking about it for a week, Yue Qianming decided to start as a cartoonist's assistant.
When she saw Four Seasons Publishing House recruiting comic assistants, Yue Qianming was moved. But the teacher on the recruitment notice is someone she doesn't know, and she can't find relevant information on the Internet, so Yue Qianming wants to wait and see. Unexpectedly, I found out that the Qingbai teacher on the notice was a rookie cartoonist who took over his position.
Before seeing the other party's work, Yue Qianming's heart was a little unconvinced, you must know that for comic magazines, the last work in the queue is the finale, a newcomer cartoonist who has just debuted, how can he get this position?
However, the matter of cartoonists should be explained with comics.
After Yue Qianming watched "Death", she understood everything.
When I first created, it was purely a hot brain, with the world view I liked, I drew a few characters that I thought were good, and I made up a few small stories, and I was complacent about it, without a complete world view, without my own style, and even without a main line at the beginning, such comics can be serialized, and they are already the editor's preference.
The most important thing is that Yue Qianming knows that she can't be as atmospheric as Teacher Qingbai.
Doesn't he know that his work is half the sky? Doesn't he know that cartoonists don't have to give their assistants a share of their books?
I think he knows.
Thinking of this, Yue Qianming realized that she had been at the same table with him for half a year, and she didn't know anything about him, and even now, she couldn't even remember his name.
"Well, my conditions are already very generous, right? If there are any other questions, you can raise them and talk about them in the open, and if you have any grievances, you can also raise them, so that they can be discussed. ”
Wang Ming chuckled, as if he didn't care about the conditions he gave, but he didn't know that the two people who heard these conditions had already turned over in their hearts.
Yue Qianming swallowed her saliva gently, although her sister said that this action was not ladylike, but Yue Qianming couldn't take care of it at this time.
"Teacher Qingbai, what do you think of cartoonists?"
"Huh, a cartoonist?"
To be honest, Wang Ming was still afraid that the other party would be dissatisfied with the conditions he gave, but he didn't expect the other party to ask such a question.
"Cartoonist......"
Again, "What is a cartoonist in your heart?"
"Probably a gambler. ”
Yue Qianming didn't expect to hear such an answer from Wang Ming's mouth: "Eh, eh?"
For comics drawers, throwing their manuscripts into the hands of editors is tantamount to a gamble, winning the bet and serializing the comics, and losing the bet, the comics are redrawn, so it is not a problem to say that the cartoonists are a group of gamblers.
Although she didn't get Wang Ming's explanation, Yue Qianming didn't care, because the real question she wanted to ask was not this.
"So, teacher, what do you think is the requirements for a cartoonist to succeed?"
When he heard this question, Wang Ming suddenly remembered the comic "Dream Eater" that had a great impact on him in his previous life, and said without thinking: "Confidence, hard work and luck." ”
"Why?"
At this time, Yue Qianming has turned into a curious baby, and she can't wait to say all the questions in her heart in one breath.
"If you don't have the self-confidence to take the first step, you don't even have the courage to take the first step. ”
"Although there are some talented people in manga, they are a minority after all, and most people don't necessarily have any talent, so in this case, if you don't work hard, I advise you to leave the manga industry as soon as possible. ”
But at the end of the day, luck is the most important factor in a cartoonist's success. ”
Looking at Yue Qianming, whose face was full of disbelief, Wang Ming remembered the highest words, and said with a smile: "For example, it is good luck to meet a good editor, and bad luck to meet an irresponsible editor, and the chance of the former to debut is much higher than that of the latter." ”
"Oh, I see! Thank you, Mr. Qingbai. ”
"Any questions?"
Yue Qianming squirmed, a little embarrassed to speak.
Wang Ming also thought that the question that Yue Qianming wanted to ask was related to her privacy, and said generously: "It's okay, just ask, as long as I know, I will answer as much as possible." ”
"Just ask...... hesitated, I wanted to ask and felt embarrassed, but I was afraid that if I missed this opportunity, the next time it would be far away, I gritted my teeth secretly, and quickly asked: "Is there a shortcut to becoming a cartoonist?"
"Shortcuts......"
This question is difficult for Wang Ming. Everyone knows that if you take shortcuts to do things, you can get twice the result with half the effort, but everything in the world, how can there be so many shortcuts to take, the road is stepped out step by step, and it is impossible to run if you can't walk.
Suddenly, Wang Ming seemed to remember something, and a look of remembrance appeared on his face, "If you talk about shortcuts, there is no such thing, but there are five guidelines, do you want to hear it?"
Yue Qianming also knew that there could be a shortcut to this kind of thing, so she was not disappointed with Wang Ming's first half of the words, but the second half of the words surprised herself.
"Yes!"
"First, I want to turn all my blood into ink, and never paint clever works. ”
"Second, instead of pursuing temporary popularity, we should loosen the soil and fertilize it, nourish its roots and take advantage of it, and add its ointment to hope for its light. ”
"Third, no matter how much status you get, don't be nostalgic, if there is a storm and a river Qinghaiyan, you will be elected as a storm. ”
"Fourth, at any time do not weep and be discouraged by defeat, but study failure as the mother of success. ”
"Fifth, don't be self-righteous when you do the above points, and learn from all people and things other than yourself!"
"Bang bang. ”
As soon as Wang Ming's words fell, the editor-in-chief Liu Chengfeng came in from the outside with a slap, followed by Xiao Yuan, who was a little embarrassed, which made Wang Ming a little confused.
"Yes, that's right, failure is the mother of success, okay, I really didn't misunderstand you!" As he spoke, Liu Chengfeng looked at Yue Qianming, who was stunned.
"Congratulations, you've found a good teacher!"
