Chapter 125: Murder on the Orient Express!
It's not good to be a teacher! And what is this? There are a lot of cartoonists who have worked as assistants to other cartoonists before they became famous, and this is not something to be ashamed of.
Like what is the author of "Psychic King" Hiroyuki Takei has been an assistant to the author of "Rogue Kenshin" and Nobuhiro Tsuki; Eiichiro Oda, the author of "One Piece", also worked as an assistant to Nobuhiro Kazuki, and Nobuhiro Kazuki also served as an assistant to Ken Obata in "Death Note", and Ken Obata worked as an assistant to Makoto Nimono, the author of "Majima Hot Prodigal Son", and so on. Of course, Su Shichen is also a newcomer in the comic industry, but Feiyu's attitude is too outrageous.
"A person has to be accurate in his positioning, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed." Is Wang Ni comforting him by saying this?
It should be counted that what Wang Ni meant in her words was that the author Feiyu just now had a problem with his positioning, and such a person is not worth being angry about.
"Whew, it's okay, there are two more chances anyway." Wang Ni drove to the homes of the remaining two authors, and the Roseman Society is not famous when it comes out of Yangcheng, since the manuscript will be submitted to the Roseman Society, it proves that the address is near Yangcheng, and it is really the case, the addresses of the three authors selected by Su Shichen are all in Yangcheng.
When Su Shichen was still busy looking for a comic assistant, there was a lot of trouble outside, and the cause of the incident was because Zhang Ze, a cartoonist in China, was angry when he was promoted by "Summit Newspaper", which is the sentence "The best inspirational comic in China "Slam Dunk". ”
Zhang Ze is a great power in the domestic comics industry, and his status is equivalent to Su Shichen's status in the novel industry now. Even higher, there are two main types of his comics, one of which is juvenile blood. The second is youth competition.
When he was interviewed by a media outlet, he broke out something like this-
"Really bullied us no one in the Chinese comics industry, although our Chinese comics industry is not as good as the island country and not as good as the United States, but it is still full of talents, a newcomer who has only taken less than ten professional courses to draw a comic dare to say that it is the best inspirational comic in China? And I also rub salt in the wounds of basketball fans, I don't have anything to say about this kind of people who don't achieve their goals in order to make money, and in addition, in order to appease the wounded hearts of basketball fans. I'm already working on a comic book about football, so that the attention of basketball fans can shift from basketball to football, which is what a truly conscientious cartoonist should do. ”
This is how the battle of football manga vs. basketball manga has begun! It is conceivable that the media will take this opportunity to riot again. However, Su Shichen doesn't know these things now, he has now rushed to the home of another author, living on the seventh floor and there is no elevator, which is rare enough to climb the stairs.
Knock!
"Who are you looking for?" The person who opened the door this time was more Sven. It was a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses. With a sense of bookishness, he looks a little like a teacher in terms of temperament.
"May I ask you are the author of "Green Jade", the ancient city under the moon?"
"Yes, I'm the ancient city under the moon, please come in and sit first." The book is angry and very polite.
invited Wang Ni and him to the house, and also served tea.
"Are the two of you from the Rosemanga Society? The clumsy work has only been submitted in the Guiman Society, so my manuscript has passed the review? ”
"I'm sorry I didn't bring you good news." Su Shichen handed the manuscript back to the ancient city under the moon.
"It was rejected. It's okay, it's okay, anyway, I'm pretty clear about my own work. It was also expected that the manuscript would be rejected. "The ancient city under the moon did not have a little anger, and even sent his manuscript back to Su Shichen and Wang Nidaoqian, xiexie and the two of them, compared to the flying fish, the ancient city under the moon can definitely be regarded as a saint.
"Actually, I came this time to ask if you have any plans to become a comic assistant?"
"Comic Assistant!" Yuexia Gucheng shook his head, "My job is to teach painting as a university teacher, and drawing comics is just a hobby in my spare time, and I have also learned about the comic assistant industry, which is relatively busy, I don't have time, sorry." ”
"It's okay, excuse me." No wonder the painter is so good, it turns out that he is a university painting teacher, and only if the painter is not good can there be a ghost.
Bidding farewell to the ancient city under the moon, he stood in front of the building and sighed loudly, is this considered a bad year?
The first comic book author is not uncommon for Su Shichen to be an assistant because of his arrogance, and the second comic book author is quite proud of his positioning, but because of his work, he has no time to be a comic assistant, and there is only one of the three left.
Chenxin is also Su Shichen's most promising person, because the pen is very similar, rushed to Zuihou An author is Chenxin's residence, this is a civilian area?
Anyway, it's quite dirty and messy, this Chenxin's real name is Zhang Chen, this kind of ground floor buildings are densely packed together, there are narrow passages everywhere, the car can't drive in, only get out of the car and walk, and this kind of house does not have an accurate house number, and only after several inquiries did I find Zhang Chen's residence.
The door was open, but he was too embarrassed to walk in directly, and he knocked on the door and shouted loudly, "Is anyone home?" ”
A male voice came from the room, "What's the matter, just come in and tell me." ”
Wang Ni stood at the door and shook her head to signal that she would not go in, Su Shichen walked into this very messy house alone, a young man with very long hair that had covered his eyes was drawing a manuscript, in fact, Su Shichen wanted to say that his hair was so long, could he still see it?
Seeing him skillfully using all kinds of tools, this person should be Chen Xin Zhang Chen.
"Who are you? Could it be that one of my comics was rejected again? Zhang Chen's gaze stayed on the manuscript in Su Shichen's hand.
It's a certain book again, why does this sound so awkward?
Su Shichen couldn't help asking, "According to what you mean, do you submit a lot of works at the same time?" ”
"Of course," Zhang Chen said proudly, "At my speed, three issues a week is also a very simple thing, of course, this is not the highest speed." The maximum speed can ensure that four works are serialized in a weekly magazine at the same time. ”
Hearing Zhang Chen say this, two great gods immediately appeared in Su Shichen's mind, one was Araki Fei Lu Yan. It is claimed to be a super speed god who can be published N a week.,The other is the strongman of the manga god Osamu Tezuka with 50 pages a day.。
Su Shichen's interest immediately increased: "Then how many comics have you published." ”
This question immediately made the proud Zhang Chen speechless, and sighed, "The people in the publishing house say that my comics have problems with the plot setting, I think they don't understand my great ambition at all, I just want to set a comic with a grand background, and I have drawn the beginning of dozens of anime." But they all failed, and it seems that they have to start all over again. Zhang Chen drooped his head and looked listless.
Zhang Chen's behavior reminded Su Shichen of himself in his previous life, and he had written one or two novels. Once 30,000 words can't be signed, cut it out, and then start a new book from scratch.
"I'm going to draw a comic recently, but I don't have enough time for one person, how about you come and be my assistant?" After speaking, Su Shichen stared at Zhang Chen tightly. I don't want to be rejected again. Having failed twice, this is already Zuihou's chance.
However, Zhang Chen did not agree or refuse immediately, but asked, "How much salary can you pay me for a month as an assistant for you?" ”
"Do you do the coloring, the background, the line, etc.?"
"Of course I would, I used to draw comics by myself."
"Apply it for one month first, I gave three thousand five hundred yuan a month during the probationary period, and I will give you six thousand one month after one month is turned positive."
Hearing that he could earn 6,000 soft girl coins a month, Zhang Chen's eyes immediately lit up, but then he showed a skeptical look, "Can you take out 6,000 yuan a month?" ”
"If you knew who I was, you wouldn't doubt that I couldn't get six thousand dollars a month."
"Who are you. Aren't you just a student? Zhang Chen looked Su Shichen up and down, looking suspicious.
"I'm an author. I have written several books that have sold more than one million, and the best-selling "Flood Wilderness" has exceeded three million, and you say that I can't get 6,000 yuan a month. ”
As soon as Zhang Chen heard the name "Flood Wilderness", his eyes immediately widened, and he looked like he had seen a ghost, "You can't be the smartest genius boy in the legend, Su Shichen!" ”
Su Shichen touched his nose, when did he become a legend! Only death is a legend, and now he doesn't want to die if he doesn't live enough.
"Okay, I'll do it." Zhang Chen, who was later known as the most prolific cartoonist, became Su Shichen's assistant in this way.
"Master Su, you wrote a good novel, and haodeweishenme suddenly wanted to draw comics?"
"Master Su weishenme You want to choose basketball, don't you know that basketball is a taboo subject now?"
……
Zhang Chen's questions were one after another, as if they were 100,000 weishenme.
The newly bought house of Su Shichen's family is a three-bedroom and a living room, his father and mother use one room, and he just vacates a room for Zhang Chen, including food and accommodation, and then gives three thousand five in the first month, which has made Zhang Chen very overjoyed.
And Zhang Chen also gave Su Shichen a surprise, in addition to Zhang Chen's ability to make up stories is very poor, other basic skills and other kung fu are very perfect.
"Master Su weishenme protagonist wants to be like a clown, isn't it good to be serious? Will this make readers not want to read it? "Zhang Chen is talking about the main character of the comic, Ikebana.
"There is no perfect person in this shijie, and in the same way to make the comic more real, the protagonist must have shortcomings, of course, to grasp this shortcoming, the shortcomings cannot be greater than the advantages."
Indeed, take the island country comics as an example, most of the protagonists are nervous and stupid, but they are very persistent about a certain thing, and in short, they are teenagers with blood.
This is true of Naruto in the Hokage, this is true of Ichigo in the Shinigami, and even more so of the ikebana in the slam dunk he is drawing now.
"Weishenme's first stop at the beginning was a failure, and if it fails at the beginning, won't readers feel disappointed?"
"The competitive shijie is defeated and won, if they are all invincible, then what else do readers read? And if you lose this time, readers will only look forward to winning back next time. ”
At first, Zhang Chen was skeptical that Su Shichen was a novelist who wanted to draw comics, thinking that Su Shichen's behavior was to play tickets, and he secretly thought in his heart that it was good to be famous, no matter how the comics were drawn, they could still be published, but later with the release of "Slam Dunk", he himself was first obsessed with this comic.
Then Zhang Chen had to admit that his concept was wrong, and at the same time recognized his own shortcomings.
In the past, he seemed to want to add all the advantages to the main character of the comic, but in fact, such a perfect protagonist is really good?
Zhang Chen has learned a lot from the comics, and his attitude towards Su Shichen has slowly and gradually changed, from jealousy at the beginning to respect now, and he will ask questions if he has any questions, although Su Shichen is much younger than him in terms of age, but Zhang Chen has already regarded Su Shichen as a teacher.
Su Shichen is rushing comics behind closed doors, and above "Summit Newspaper", the novel section has appeared, and Su Shichen's new mystery novel "Murder on the Orient Express" has also been released on it.
There is not much introduction on the novel section of "Summit Newspaper", just one line of big words-
