Chapter 90: Diamonds Under the Coal Mine
Asakura was stunned, the so-called comics are not something that can be drawn by one person, especially after the comics became popular, the editorial department urged the manuscript like a rush, and there was no time to draw page by page. Most of them are cartoonists who draw their own characters, backgrounds/scenes, reticulations, and special effects, all of which are handed over to assistants. The bad ones even throw a sketch directly.
For example, in the middle and late stages of Naruto, the sharp change in the style of painting is because of this kind of impermissible behavior taken by Kishimoto Saishi.
Asakura was very puzzled in his heart, yes, assistants are an indispensable resource. However, the composition of assistants in the Japanese manga industry is very complicated, and those who are not popular work as assistants under the hands of popular manga artists. Because a comic is not popular, this cartoonist is afraid that it is a problem to eat cup noodles. They have to find a new way out of life.
This has created a strange scene of many seniors working as assistants under the popular juniors.
Qin Yuanfeng's words, of course he understood what they meant. Every company that wants to cooperate with Shueisha will definitely be investigated.
The information of the Qin Dynasty is now in his Wen JiΓ n folder, with assets of more than 80 million, which is a company that can afford to make money. But when you ask about the assistant, do you want to find gold from the assistant?
He couldn't help but sneer secretly, there are indeed gold mines among the assistants, but they are generally cartoonists who can't make their debut, and outdated cartoonists. And the assistant doesn't have a contract with Shueisha, and he didn't sign a contract with any of them when he debuted? Without a contract, Shueisha naturally couldn't care about it and remember it. If you want to dig out gold in the sea of assistants, even Shueisha doesn't have the ability.
"Shueisha doesn't have a roster of assistants." He wasn't annoyed, and of course he wouldn't remind Qin Yuanfeng that what he sent was not as good as what he asked. When Qin Yuanfeng looked for all his assistants and returned to Shueisha, he could naturally realize the weight of Shueisha, "Why don't you tell us if there are any famous people you want to visit." In general, the assistants of well-known cartoonists are of good quality. β
He waited to see Qin Yuanfeng's joke and let Qin Yuanfeng speak, there were so many well-known cartoonists, he estimated that he was confused about who he wanted to find.
Qin Yuanfeng was about to speak, but there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Asakura." As soon as the door opened, a man in his early twenties and less than 1.7 meters tall walked in sweaty, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hojo has a wrist problem, and I want to deliver the manuscript late this month." β
"Late?!" This sentence seemed to ignite the explosive bag, and Asakura immediately exploded the pot, "No!" Absolutely not! His city hunter is so popular that he can't break it for a day! β
Qin Yuanfeng was a little surprised, although serialization is important, but the writer's personal illness is more important, right?
"Hojo? Could it be Mr. Hojo? He asked casually.
"Who else but him!" Asakura said indignantly: "This month's hand disease! Neck discomfort last month! Said dizziness last month! What month does he not procrastinate?! β
He turned his head and smiled bitterly, "Qin Jun, let you see the joke." It stands to reason that Shueisha is not so kind. But some cartoonists can't do it if they don't urge. Hojo-sensei is just popular, and you don't know his temper. It's an addiction to procrastination! We don't rush him, and we guarantee that he may not be able to hand it over at the end of the month! β
"Go back and sue Mr. Hojo!" He glared at the young man and said, "At noon, I'll come and visit him with a gift!" I'm going to see for myself how uncomfortable his wrist really is! ββ
The young man was covered in a cold sweat, he only came to pass the word, and now his teacher didn't know where he was drinking, and he didn't want to enjoy the roar of the head teacher, he couldn't run away.
agreed, and was about to leave, but Asakura didn't intend to let him go, "Inoue-kun, if I'm not mistaken, you graduated from Kumamoto University in 87 and applied to be Hojo-sensei's assistant, right?" β
"Yes." The young man replied respectfully.
"It's been two years, and he hasn't had any major illnesses, but he keeps getting sick! Thirty-one out of thirty days in every month are sick! I can't wait to use the whip to drive him to work! You tell me honestly, how many percent of his current works are painted by him? How many percent of them were painted by you? β
Inoue sneered, was silent for a long time, and was about to speak, when Asakura sneered, "Don't lie to me, I guarantee to work with him for longer than you think." β
Inoue's lips trembled, but he still stubbornly said, "It's basically the teacher who draws ......."
"Huh......" Asakura took a deep breath and said coldly, "I heard that you used to play basketball." Why don't you grow tall and your brain doesn't grow? What good do you do to hold him accountable? β
He waved his hand irritably, "Forget it, since you are willing, then I won't force you." Go ahead. β
Inoue bowed slightly respectfully and turned to leave. Asakura sighed, and smiled helplessly at Qin Yuanfeng, "Cartoonists debuted, almost all of them have worked as assistants under the elders, and this kid is also unlucky, and he threw himself into the door of Hojo Teacher with enthusiasm." β
He smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid he already regrets seeing the teacher he admires having this temper." β
Qin Yuanfeng smiled and said nothing, this is Chaocang hinting to him, there are too many assistants of this type, and it is impossible to find them according to his ideas, it is better to choose directly among the first three cartoonists.
He planned to directly find those comic giants in the future and recruit them in advance. However, after all, he is not based on comics, who worked as an assistant under whom, and he really can't remember the detailed year.
The only thing you can start with is to find the person in charge of Shueisha, otherwise you can only find it one by one.
"Mr. Asakura, let's do it, since Shueisha doesn't have an assistant information. So the cartoonist you're in charge of has a good assistant, can you recommend two? β
Asakura's brows furrowed, his greatest pride was that he was in charge of Tsukasa Hojo, and this sentence tickled him just at the itch.
"Qin Jun, to be honest, it's good that I can remember the cartoonist in charge at hand. The assistant really can't remember. But Hojo-sensei's assistant, I remember it more clearly. β
Qin Yuanfeng nodded, after all, it is one of the four carriages in Japan now, and it is strange not to know.
"Like the one just now." Asakura smiled and lifted his chin, "I was originally studying at Kumamoto University, but on a whim, I ran to Hojo-sensei and became an assistant." I didn't graduate from college, so I chose to take a leave of absence. It's rare to like to play basketball, and it's even rarer to take a break from school to be an assistant. That's when I was a little more impressed. β
Thinking of the size of the well, Qin Yuanfeng couldn't help but smile, "What's the name?" β
"Yuhiko Inoue. But I'm not worried about his debut, although Hojo Tsukasa is a problem painter, he does have real skills. Inoue-kun also won the Tezuka Prize last year...... Qin Jun? What happened to you? β
Qin Yuanfeng was already stunned with a teacup at the moment.
What Asakura said just now, he didn't hear it clearly, all he heard clearly was the other party's name.
Yuhiko Inoue!
This name, if you have read the comics, it is estimated that everyone in Asia knows it, and no one knows it!
Perhaps, his work is more well-known than himself!
sLamdunkοΌ Slam Dunk!
In the future, the painter is known as one of the two who are listed as the "strongest painter" along with Yoshihiro Tomiyatsu!
The one who came in just now, the young man who was scolded by Asakura and still had a hint of shyness was actually a generation of giants of his time?!
"Mr. Asakura." He pressed the fluctuation in his heart, "Are you sure his name is Yuhiko Inoue?" β
"That's right. I only won the Tezuka Award last year, otherwise I didn't know that he worked as an assistant under Hojo-sensei. β
Qin Yuanfeng let out a long sigh of relief.
What worries him the most?
The older generation of cartoonists is too expensive, and the new generation of cartoonists has not emerged.
Akira Toriyama is a few million dollars, who doesn't feel pain?
The one who is emerging now, and the most famous in the future, is probably "**" Xiaoyanjian, as the second generation of Japanese cartoonists, he has long been active in this industry.
However, he is a typical late bloomer, and it wasn't until a "chess soul" that he took down the title of "Nobuhiro Kazuki's teacher" and became the "chess soul" Xiao Yanjian.
Nobuhiro Kazuki's rogue Kenshin is more famous than his teacher, and it wasn't until a few years later that Ken Koyan began his accumulation.
He didn't want to raise the other party for so long.
What's more, the other party also has a Shueisha contract on him.
But, Yuhiko Inoue?
He's an assistant! Tsukasa Hojo's assistant!
He doesn't have a contract on him!
Slam Dunk, who sold hundreds of millions of copies, this is not counting the number of pirated copies that are several times this number, at least all the domestic ones in his memory at that time were pirated. Inouue's works are something that every Japanese person has read! If you look at the numbers alone.
His painting style takes shape very quickly, heavy with strictness, but delicate, which is very suitable for a game in the style of Fire Emblem!
Even, if the Qin Dynasty has a large-scale strict game in the future, it can be handed over to the other party!
Qin Yuanfeng once thought that a good painter can drive the sales of games, and a good game can also produce a good painter.
What if it's a pioneering masterpiece like Fire Emblem, plus manga master Inoue Yuhiko?
Thinking about it makes his back tingle!
"Mr. Asakura." A heartfelt smile appeared on his face, "Can you tell me Inoue-sensei's address?" I'd like to visit him. The master who won the Tezuka Award must have something extraordinary. β
Chaocang looked at Qin Yuanfeng like an idiot.
Inoue-sensei?
How did this teacher come about?
With tens of millions of dollars in your hands, interested in an assistant?
How picky is this person?!
Suddenly, the good impression of Qin Yuanfeng disappeared, and this company, looking at the leader's policy, was a small family, and it was difficult to become atmospheric.
"Mitarai Town, Yamanashi Prefecture, I still have something to do, so I won't send Qin Jun." He suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said angrily.
"Don't bother Mr. Asakura. If you can't find the right person, we'll get back in touch. Qin Yuanfeng finished with a smile and walked away.
"Little family gas!" As soon as he went out, Chaocang spat at the door, "I made so much money at a young age, and I don't understand the truth that money is used at all!" So many people don't look down on it, go find a mere assistant? Tens of millions of dollars of companies have also done it! Still in touch? Whoever loves to meet and who to meet! β
