Chapter 62: Naruto's Craze (3)
"Okay, Yu is just joking, in fact, every popular cartoonist, every publishing house will have their own communication website, but usually few people send messages there, after all, real cartoonists are very busy, especially weekly cartoonists, if you delay a little, maybe this week will be stopped, do you think they still have time to pay attention to that website?" Taiyi said on the side. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"That's it.,Speaking of which,You seem to know more about comics than I do.,I rarely watch you read comics.。 Kazuki asked a little strangely.
"We just don't look at it at school.,You don't know yet.,Yu painting is very powerful.,This summer festival.,Yu said he was going to make a fan-art and sell it at the summer festival.。 Taiyi said.
"Doujin, what are you going to draw, or Naruto." Kazuki suggested.
"No, Naruto is too tired of drawing, I'm already a little finished preparing now, I'm going to draw Sailor Moon this time, add a new male character, and compete with that field guard for the heroine Moon Hare, what do you think." Yu said his thoughts.
"Good idea, I support you." Taiyi said to Yu.
"I support you too, but unfortunately I can't draw." One Tree Road.
"I don't know how to draw, it doesn't matter, can you help me with chores, just so that you can see how hard it is to be a real cartoonist." Yu said to Kazuki.
"Wouldn't it be a waste of time, I still have to play football." Kazuki said.
"It's just a chore.,It won't waste much time.,Actually, it's mainly to help bind it.,After all, it's the first time Yu has participated in the same meeting.,You don't have to spend money to publish it in the market.,Even if it's a homo publishing house.,If it's less than a hundred.,Generally, it won't help you print.,Of course, you can also find those who are willing to help you print.,But those publishing houses.,Most of them aren't very good.,It's better to make a copy yourself.,And then direct binding.,That's right.,Yu,How many copies of the same people are you going to produce this time.。 I'll help you get in touch with the counter then. "Taiyi.
"I have very little money to use.,About fifty copies at most.,I think twenty copies are about the same.,After all, it's the first time to participate.,I've heard that there are a lot of people who don't sell a single one.。 Feather Road.
"Comics, comics, you still have to look at the drawing, your drawing level is good, plus your plot is also somewhat interesting, I believe fifty books should be able to sell." Too one.
"Since you said so, then I'll try to make fifty copies." Yu clenched his fists, indicating that he would cheer.
"Dad, I'm back." Taiyi returned to his home and went directly to his father's studio, "Taiyi, I'm back, by the way, your baseball kid, this issue has a good ranking, in the monthly magazine, it's a very good work, come on, Taiyi." Taiyi's father said to Taiyi with a smile.
"I want to change the baseball kid to a weekly." Taiyi said.
"Weekly, no, you're still a student, Weekly's is very hard, you won't even have time to play with your classmates, you're still young, don't be in such a hurry." After Taiyi's father heard Taiyi's words, he looked at Taiyi a little strangely, and Taiyi today is a little different.
"I must change to a weekly magazine, I believe I can finish it, and if you don't want to say it, I'll go to the editor myself and say that as long as I can finish the comic on time, they don't have the right to stop me." Too one.
"What's wrong with you today, Taiyi, this is different from the usual you, you said before, before college, you wouldn't touch comics, just practice your own drawing skills, and suddenly said that you want to publish comics, and I agreed, but now you say that you want to serialize the weekly, you won't be stimulated by mystery." Taiyi's father asked.
"Dad, this time your comics, but fell to the second place, this is the first time in many years that your comics have fallen from the first place, Dad, are you not nervous?" Taiyi said loudly.
"That's why." Taiyi's father finally understood the reason why Taiyi did that.
"What's because of this.,I've also seen that Naruto.,There's no denying that the painting and plot are very good.,But it's just the beginning.,The plot can't be seen yet.,Maybe it's not good to look at later.,But I don't understand.,Why do so many people like it.,More than Dad, your teenage ninja.,If you want to talk about heroes.,Dad, isn't the protagonist in your manga the same?" Taiyi shouted.
"Taiyi, the boy ninja has been drawing for nearly ten years, I made my debut at the age of twenty, and I drew a total of three comics, the first manga was drawn for nearly four years, and the second manga was drawn for six years, and then the boy ninja was drawn to the present, and they all said that I was a genius, because other people drew a lot of comics, so they had good results, even those first-class cartoonists, there were also bad works, and my three comics were all successful.
Especially I'm not like those cartoonists, I like comics since I was a child, I only occasionally came into contact with comics, and then I thought I could draw them, and then I went to submit, in fact, I didn't think about being a cartoonist before, but after the first comic became popular, and then under the continuous persuasion of the editor, I changed to a professional cartoonist.
Do you know why I'm telling you so much?,Taiyi,It's been ten years.,My passion for the teenage ninja is gradually fading.,Originally, I wanted to finish the teenage ninja.,But the club took into account the sales of the magazine.,So it's been drawn until now.,Now there's a Naruto.,To be honest.,For me,It might be a good thing.,Originally, the teenage ninja was still going to be painted for a few years.,Ready to finish the book when it's really not good in the end.,But now,Maybe this year.,The club should consider the completion of the teenage ninja.。
Originally, I was going to stop drawing manga after the Junior Ninja finished the book, but now it's a few years in advance, and it's over, so maybe I'll consider drawing a manga. Taiyi's father said to Taiyi earnestly.
"But why is Naruto ranked so high, anyway, Dad, your popularity is still there for so many years, how can you be surpassed by Naruto." Taiyi still asked a little unpleasantly.
"For this reason, I think many people want to know, haven't you paid attention to Shueisha's actions recently, they are also investigating the reason why Naruto is ranked so high, and the novel museum where I am also investigating, I heard that Kodansha is also interested in this aspect, I believe that it will not be long before the reason will be known." Taiyi's father said.
"What do you think, father?" Taiyi asked.
"My opinion." Taiyi's father thought for a moment and then spoke, "It should be that he described the ninja, which was originally very dark and bloody, and has always been hiding behind the sun, as the most proud and infinite profession under the sun, starting from the appearance of Naruto, and when people talk about ninjas in the future, they won't say that ninjas are just suitable for secret operations, assassinations and the like, ninjas can be compared with samurai and onmyoji."
I drew a young ninja.,So many years.,And I've always felt that there's something wrong.,Now I finally understand.,Taiyi,You also saw my young ninja.,Although the protagonist in it has a lot of people who agree with him.,But I never dared to explain my identity openly.,This is the gap.。 "I have to say that Taiyi's father, who is worthy of being a person who has drawn ninja manga for so many years, talks about Naruto, and his words go straight to the core.
"Maybe it's because the author is a Chinese, and he doesn't know much about the ninjas of our country." Too one.
"That's a big deal, Taiyi, I know you want to compare with him, you seem to be about the same age, from what I've heard, your current school grade is the same, but Taiyi, you don't need to compare with him at all, you also have your own strengths, I debuted so late back then, didn't I also become a super-first-class cartoonist, so you don't have to be in such a hurry."
"I know, Dad, I know your experience very well, but Dad, you just said, Naruto is very powerful, if I don't start chasing now, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up in the future, just this Naruto, he will definitely be a super-first-class manga artist in the future, but like this, isn't Sailor Moon still not out of publication, although Shueisha didn't say Sailor Moon, how it will be serialized in the future, but this also shows that he is still drawing Sailor Moon, and completing these two comics at the same time, If I can't even do a weekly comic book, then how can I? Taiyi stared at his father with firm eyes.
"yes, if it's for money, just the money that Naruto earns, it's enough, okay, I can talk to the company, change the baseball kid to a weekly, but before that, from now on, you draw the baseball kid as a weekly, if you can complete the weekly amount for a month, and there are no problems, next month, I'll talk about it." Can you do this requirement, Taiyi. Taiyi's father looked at Taiyi's serious eyes and put forward his own conditions.
"I'll be able to do it." Taiyi finished speaking and left.
"Maybe his appearance is not a bad thing, at least for those who really like comics, there is a goal to pursue in front of them, and I seem to be a little unconvinced." Taiyi's father said to himself.
At this time, his phone rang, Taiyi's father looked at the phone number, laughed, picked up the phone and said, "How is it, is there a result?" "It's his editor on the other side of the phone.
"Well, there are results, this survey about Naruto, a lot of people from all ages were selected to conduct the survey, and the results were very bad."
"At this time, you are still selling Guanzi, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it directly, we are old friends."
"Basically, people over the age of thirteen, who have watched Naruto find it very interesting, and at the same time look forward to the next plot, if his plot does not collapse later, I'm afraid you will meet an opponent."
"You also read the author's setting in Naruto, do you think it will collapse later, so to put it this way, if Naruto continues to be hot, isn't it time for my young ninja to finish the book." Taiyi's father, although he said earlier that he wanted to finish this young ninja, but after all, it was a work that he had been painting for nearly ten years, and he had put a lot of effort into the young ninja, and he suddenly heard that he wanted to finish the book, and he was still a little uncomfortable.
"Yes, the upper echelons think that it would not be great if two manga with the same theme appeared during the same period, so if the Hokage continues to be hot, your teenage ninja will be finished next year."
"It's going to be postponed until next year, it's too late, I think it's going to be October, if it's October, it proves that the teenage ninja is still not as good as Naruto, and the book will be finished at the end of this year, and it's also a celebration of the teenage ninja serialization for ten years, you can reflect my opinion."
"Okay, it's really hard for you, at this time, such an opponent appeared, and it can only be said that Shueisha was lucky this time."
"Luck is also part of strength, right?,There's a sentence that often appears in comics.,Okay,There's no need not to bother me in the future.,I'm going to think about the next plot of the young ninja.,I'm not going to admit defeat like this.。
"Looks like you're motivated, so I guess that's good news."
