The salary of assistants is really low!

This is Lu Ge's heartfelt emotion after meeting with five assistants in the Shige Comics Studio, and after some conversation.

The salary of several 20-year-old young people is mostly about 2000 yuan, and the other two middle-aged people in their 30s have many years of experience as assistants and serializers, and the salary is higher, about 2500-2700.

You must know that Tianyi, as a provincial capital, can share a house casually, and the starting price is 1,000 yuan, and it is 8 yuan to eat fried rice or noodles.

Unless you eat instant noodles all at once, otherwise, save a little, and the basic meal consumption will be around 30 yuan a day, and it will be close to 1,000 yuan a month.

In other words, the basic meal plus rent is 2,000 yuan.

So, what about the other expenses.

You have to buy laundry detergent, soap and other daily necessities every month, you have to pay utility bills, the phone has to be smooth, even if you call less, you have to have a monthly rent every month, and then there is a monthly Internet bill... Mess up all sorts of expenses.

In short, it feels like it's not easy for these assistants to live in a big city.

In big cities, there are more than 2,000 jobs for any waiter, and most of them include food and housing, and I don't know why these people insist on doing this job.

Of course, how other people's lives live, these are not Lu Ge's business, he will only be under psychological emotion at most.

As for the fact that because he pitied these people in front of him, he raised their wages with them for no reason, Lu Ge was not naïve enough to do such a thing.

After several people were introduced, Lu Ge directly began to arrange what they had to do first.

Familiarize yourself with Lu Ge's style.

Lu Ge took out a few character drawings of the lower part of the comic book from his bag, as well as some background pictures.

"This is the main character of the next manga, so you all should familiarize yourself with it." Lu Ge sent the character design map to a few assistants present, and the curious An Xiaoshi also took a few from it.

"Wow, that's beautiful."

"It's as delicate as 'Second Five.'"

"Just in terms of character design, becoming an illustrator is simple." Yao Gang, who is nearly 40 years old, looks at the soft and cute girl, and is extremely envious of Lu Ge's personality skills.

….

Painting this kind of thing can be carved slowly.

As long as an ordinary painter is willing to spend time and effort, he can make a picture like Makoto Shinkai's.

Of course, it is difficult to be sure, it takes time, and if you don't have enough ability, it may take twice as much time or more than n.

As a literary and artistic creator, all kinds of skills and basic strength can be accumulated slowly, but inspiration and creativity, this kind of thing, is hard to find.

In comics, a brand-new character design is a kind of creativity, a novel story plot, and a way of telling stories is also a kind of creativity.

"Next is the background style." Lu Ge took out a few more background pictures.

In a studio, each assistant also has a division of labor, some of them are painting the characters, and some are painting the background.

"When you read the manga, I'll tell you about the rules of the studio.

First, don't be noisy and keep quiet when you work.

Second, you can't smoke or drink, and I hope you can keep yourself hygienic, and you can't forget to take a shower for ten days and a half because you are busy painting, and bring a strange smell into the studio.

Mainly these two points, the rest, when I have time to buy a small blackboard to write on it. ”

After saying these precautions, Lu Ge said the style and some painting requirements, and then took out two copies of the key to the studio, and handed it to the assistant who had been struggling for his dream in the Soul Drawing Comics Club, and the whole thing was almost explained.

As for working hours, deliveries, etc., there is a similar standard to other studios, and Lu Ge is not unconventional, just use it directly.

After the matter was explained, Lu Ge left the studio.

He hired 5 assistants, naturally with the idea of offloading all the tasks on himself.

In the future, when he draws comics, he only needs to get a few simple lines and storyboards, and the rest can be explained.

After all, Lu Ge is still a junior high school student, and there are many inconveniences in time.

An Xiaoshi took out her small and cute touchscreen mobile phone and took pictures of each painting, and then followed Lu Ge out of the studio.

The two walked slowly, An Xiaoshi took her mobile phone and looked at the photos for a while, and asked curiously: "Why is there no character for the male protagonist?" ”

"Because there is no male protagonist in this comic, of course, there are male characters." Lu Ge replied with a smile.

"There is no manga with a male lead...... Lu Ge, what theme are you going to draw in this comic? ”

"Magical girl theme." Lu Gedao.

"Magical girl theme?" Ann Xiaoshi.

"Yes." Lu Ge nodded.

"How cute the heroines are designed, I like it myself, and other girls will like it too." As a little girl, An Xiaoshi naturally has a magical girl plot, and she is very happy when she hears Lu Ge say that she draws magical girl comics.

however

When Qi Heng heard the news, he immediately couldn't sit still, and hurriedly asked Ancheng to make an appointment with Lu Ge, and several people met in Ancheng's office.

Qi Heng turned a few pages, and the characters of Lu Ge's new comics.

is still a fresh and elegant painting style, and the soft and glutinous heroine makes people can't help but like it at a glance.

While admiring the young man in front of him psychologically, he couldn't help but scold the young man in front of him for his painting skills and character design ability. Silly.

What a waste of such a great talent.

Junior high school students, after all, are junior high school students, even if they are lucky enough to achieve some results, they will still go astray later due to lack of experience.

"Uncle Qi, isn't the character very good-looking?" An Xiaoshi asked beside her.

"It's really beautiful." Qi Heng reluctantly smiled and agreed.

"Great." An Xiaoshi clapped her little hands very happily, as if she had won the approval of her work.

"This little classmate Lu Ge, maybe because you are still in school, you don't know much about the current comic market.

Regarding the theme of magical girls, from "Magic Garden" 40 years ago, to the peak of "Moonlight Pretty Girl" 10 years ago, and then to now, it is almost a tepid theme with little development potential.

Except for those comic book authors who have no hope of future and talent in comic clubs that draw magical girl themes in order to buy out the manuscript fee, authors with a little ambition will not touch this theme. ”

The theme of magical girls in this world,From a girl with magical power.,And then advanced to transform into a fight.,Simply eliminate bad guys.,Usually talk about love outside.,There's been no improvement.。

To put it simply, the theme of magical girls in this world has been stagnant and satisfying the fantasies of little girls, and has not moved forward.

Unlike the previous life, the magical girl went from suddenly having magical powers, then to transforming into a fight, then selling cute and selling meat, and then adding humanistic thoughts to build a complete world view.

Step by step, it has been perfected and developed, reaching the point where it is side by side with the radish theme.

Magical girls are no longer exclusive to fantasy stories with little girls, but have become a theme that both adults and children love and want to watch.

"So miserable?" Lu Ge said in surprise.

"Do you know how much the average single book sold last year's best magical girl theme?

There are only 340,000 copies.

Do you know how much your average volume sales will be after the publication of "Second Five"?

The minimum is 7 million copies.

7,000,000 copies

You are a comic book author with an average sales of 7 million volumes, and you go to draw a theme with an average sales of only 340,000 copies at the highest volume.

Lu Gexiao, if you really can't think of another theme to draw, I'll find you an outline of a hot-blooded comic theme, you draw according to this path, with the popularity you have accumulated in "Second Five", you can still sell a good sales. "For fear that Lu Ge, a junior high school student, doesn't know the difference, Qi Heng is a number of words, and he is serious.

"What was the average sales volume of "Moonlight Beautiful Girl" that year." Lu Ge asked curiously.

"This ...... It seems to be about 10 million..."Qi Heng scratched his head and tried to recall.

"The official number is 11.5 million." An Xiaoshi replied beside her.

"It looks like there's still potential." Lu Ge asked.

"That was before, but now it's not going to work, and the magical girl theme has withered. It's gone, it's always turned into a fight, people have long been tired of watching this theme, and last year's sales are ironclad proof. Qi Heng shook his head, trying to reverse Lu Ge's idea of wanting to draw a magical girl.

"I think there's a lot to be done." Lu Ge smiled confidently.

After listening to Qi Heng's detailed description, Lu Ge became even more determined in his idea of drawing the theme of magical girls.

Originally, he was just going to rely on the storytelling and character design of the next comic to strive for a good sales and become a ladder for the accumulation of fame.

didn't expect that the magical girl theme in this world, compared with the comic he was about to draw, he didn't know how far behind the times.

The fame and sales brought by innovation, Lu Ge can almost meet the scene of his next comic selling big, and even more discussion than "Second Five", which drives more sales.

"Little classmate Lu Ge, what you just said was a joke, right?" Qi Heng said with a frown.

"No, I'm serious."
