Chapter 63: Qiu Fulong, Situ Jianqiao

――I accidentally banned myself--! I can't answer the question.

When Shangguan Xiaobao said this, Zhao Chen took note of it, and he believed in Shangguan Xiaobao's vision.

Since Ma Rongcheng successfully signed into the World Comics Company, he naturally needs the help of an assistant, otherwise only Ma Rongcheng will inevitably affect the quality.

The three of them then walked to the room where the assistant was playing, and sure enough, several of them had already finished it, and they were solemnly checking the finished drawings at this time.

The psychological elements of these assistants are good, and when Zhao Chen and the three of them entered the room, they just glanced up, and continued to calm down to draw the background.

Zhao Chen observed several assistants who had already been drawn, and finally focused on a young man who looked a little shy.

This young man looks about the same age as Zhao Chen, dressed plainly, and his figure is slightly short, but his eyes look very serious, carefully checking the finished sketch, but his face is slightly unconfident.

"It looks familiar!" Looking at this young man, Zhao Chen couldn't help but secretly say in his heart.

Zhao Chen thought about half of the salary, but he really couldn't think of it, so he had to ask Shangguan Xiaobao on the side: "Uncle Shangguan, what is his name?" ”

"You say him, his name is Qiu Fulong, don't look at his young age, but his talent is quite good. In the future, as long as the cultivation is good, the achievement may not be low. ”

Shangguan Xiaobao subconsciously lifted his glasses, looked at the young man with a smile obviously, and said his opinion in order to attract Zhao Chen's attention.

"Qiu Fulong! Isn't this the exclusive art director of the later Yulang International Co., Ltd. and the Jade Dynasty! As soon as he heard the name Qiu Fulong, Zhao Chen secretly said in his heart that it was no wonder that he was a little familiar, it turned out to be this famous cartoonist and art director in later generations.

Qiu Fulong entered the Xiangjiang comic circle in 1978, and at that time he followed the main writer Bai Jinju and was in charge of assistant work. Unfortunately, a month later, due to strong opposition from his family, he had to leave his job and return to school.

But he did not give up his dream, he still improved his painting skills in school, this time it was when he was reading "Good News Magazine" that he saw the news that Zhao Chen was recruiting assistants, so his mind immediately became active, regardless of his family's opposition, and came to the Holy Flame Publishing House for assessment.

It can be said that due to Zhao Chen's reasons, Qiu Fulong's life trajectory has changed dramatically, according to the perspective of later generations, Qiu Fulong joined the Yulang organization in January 198o, but now he has entered the comics industry half a year ahead of schedule.

Qiu Fulong can be said to be a famous art director in later generations, mainly responsible for character settings, cover drafts and ghostwriting, but it is difficult for him to take care of his own works. In the final analysis, the problem of the Hong Kong comic assistant system makes Qiu Fulong unable to get rid of the objective view of 'being a comic assistant is limited'.

Although Qiu Fulong's achievements in the future are not as good as Ma Rongcheng's, he also does not have his own classic works. However, its vigorous style and Ma Rongcheng's meticulous style can be said to stand side by side in the Hong Kong comic industry. It can be said that no matter how Qiu Fulong paints this time, with Qiu Fulong's future achievements, Zhao Chen will tie him up.

When Zhao Chen was observing Qiu Fulong, an assistant had already come to the front and respectfully handed the finished sketch to Zhao Chen, standing aside and looking quite nervous.

Looking at the rough painting style on the four sketches, Zhao Chen didn't know what to say, this name was really too influenced by Hong Kong Comics, and he paid attention to the degree, but the quality inevitably dropped a lot. If it's just an ordinary Hong Kong comic work, it's okay, but "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", which integrates the style of Japanese comics, is not, let alone "Football Player".

"The painting is OK, but the style doesn't match, I hope to make persistent efforts in the future!"

Zhao Chen was afraid of hitting the assistant's self-confidence, so he didn't say anything too heavy, but said it from the point of view of painting style.

The expression on the assistant's face darkened significantly, and he eventually left the Flame Press in frustration.

Due to the failure of the first assistant, some of the assistants who wanted to deliver the manuscript obviously hesitated for a moment, and then carefully checked the already drawn draft again before handing it to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen checked them one by one, but they all shook their heads, the painting style of these assistants was the same as the previous assistant, if they were accepted, the quality of the comics would likely decline.

Qiu Fulong, who had already drawn it, did not come up immediately, but still looked at the sketch carefully and made small details to revise, this rigorous attitude made Zhao Chen, who was secretly observing on the side, a little appreciative.

At this moment, a round-faced young man handed the finished sketch to Zhao Chen, with some nervousness on his face, for fear that he would also be brushed down.

When Zhao Chen landed his gaze on the drawing, his face obviously became a lot more solemn, which made the round-faced young man who had been observing even more nervous.

The background of these four drawings is different from the roughness of those assistants just now, but it is more delicate and gorgeous, with a faint Japanese comic style.

"The background is nicely drawn! Sit back and wait for the others to finish before making a decision! ”

In the nervous expression of the round-faced young man, he finally got Zhao Chen's affirmation, which made the round-faced young man suddenly become excited, but knowing that Yiqiē had not yet decided, his heart became a little troubled again.

After the round-faced young man was affirmed by Zhao Chen, the other assistants who had not yet delivered the manuscript suddenly became nervous, for them the round-faced young man was already the ultimate competitor.

"Not bad indeed! Although the integration is not thorough enough, there is already a shadow of Riman! After the round-faced young man was affirmed by Zhao Chen, Shangguan Xiaobao on the side couldn't help but approving, and even Ma Rongcheng next to him nodded.

"Being able to get Uncle Shangguan's approval, this guy may have some achievements in the future!" Looking at the round-faced young man who was restless on the side, Zhao Chen's mind was in a hurry, and he was able to get the recognition of the three of them at the same time, which was evident from the painting work of the round-faced young man.

Just when Zhao Chen was about to ask the name of the round-faced young man, an assistant handed the sketch to Zhao Chen.

After Zhao Chen denied the assistant, Qiu Fulong on the other side felt that there was nothing to change, so he immediately stood up and handed the sketch to Zhao Chen, maybe it was not enough psychologically, and his legs were a little trembling unconsciously.

"Although the style of painting is still a little immature, but the painting is okay, wait for them to finish before making a decision!"

After reading Qiu Fulong's sketches, although the brushstrokes are not sophisticated enough, he already has a faint style of future art director, and it can also be seen that Qiu Fulong's talent in this area can be seen.

Qiu Fulong's reaction was great, and it can even be said that he cried with joy, for the sake of comics, he gave up his studies despite the opposition of his family, and now he has been affirmed by Zhao Chen, it can be said that he has expectations for the future, at least he is not as restless as before.

After Qiu Fulong was also pending, the remaining assistants also stood up and submitted their sketches, but unfortunately, except for one of the female assistants who got the pending qualification, the rest were all denied by Zhao Chen. However, Ma Rongcheng on the side has gained something, and he got two assistants with a decent painting style to assist "Chinese Heroes".

"Okay, although it's still to be determined, but no matter what, your artists have been approved by me, even if you are finally eliminated, you can join the world comic company!"

Looking at the final three candidates, Zhao Chen organized the words, and gave them the opportunity to join the world comic company in line with the principle that they would rather miss it and not let it go.

"The World Comic Company?" The three of them frowned slightly, but they couldn't think of such a comic company.

"You must have doubts about the World Comics Company in your hearts, so let me explain a little, the World Comics Company is a comic company founded by me not long ago!"

When Zhao Chen said this, the three of them were all a little disappointed, even if Zhao Chen is a well-known cartoonist in Xiangjiang now, but his background is not as good as other well-known cartoonists, and there are many fewer diehards, not to mention that Zhao Chen's age is a hard injury for them.

"Don't be disappointed, I'll tell you the news now, Uncle Shangguan has promised to resign from the Holy Flame Publishing House and is ready to join the World Comic Company!"

Before they were disappointed, Zhao Chen's next sentence gave them confidence, even Shangguan Xiaobao planned to join the World Comics Company, so the future prospects of the World Comics Company could be imagined.

"There are two assistants this time, so it's up to the two of you! As for Qiu Fulong, you still have to exercise a little, you can join the world comic company, your potential is good, and Uncle Shangguan should be happy to guide you. ”

Zhao Chen pointed his finger at the round-faced young man and the female assistant, but in order not to let go of Qiu Fulong, he couldn't help but lift Shangguan Xiaobao out. With the ability of Guan Xiaobao to teach his apprentices, presumably Qiu Fulong will join the World Comics Company even if he is disappointed.

After the round-faced youth and the female assistant were affirmed, the nervousness suddenly became relaxed. As for Qiu Fulong, he was not too disappointed, he may have already known himself, and it was already quite good to be able to get Shangguan Xiaobao's guidance.

"Alright, let's all introduce ourselves!"

Needless to say, Qiu Fulong is self-explanatory, and the female cartoonist with a baby face is named Youdie, and the painter can be said to have the delicacy of a woman, and the style also tends to be comic.

As for the introduction of the round-faced young man, Zhao Chen's heart suddenly became excited, and the reason was related to him, just because the round-faced young man's name was Situ Jianqiao!

Situ Jianqiao was a famous cartoonist in Hong Kong in the future, and his masterpiece "God Z" became the first Hong Kong cartoonist to be adapted into animation, and he is also a representative of the theme of science fiction in Hong Kong.

Zhao Chen naturally would not let go of the opportunity to tie Situ Jianqiao to the same warship, even if Situ Jianqiao's painting style at this time was not completely mature, it was enough to become an assistant in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

And the delicate painting style of Youdie naturally became the assistant of "Football Player", the reason why Youdie became the assistant of "Football Player", in addition to the reason for the painting style, another is naturally due to the relationship between women, because Zhao Chen is ready to let Youdie live in Zhou Huimin's house.
