Volume 1 The Pirate Banner of Faith Chapter 51 Sprout
Takekatsu awkwardly returned to the hall to eat with everyone at GM Tokyo.
And the other contestant who was on the scene just now, Miss Hisumi, has regained her previous elegance and dignity. Gently smiled and nodded at him, as if nothing had happened just now.
Sure enough, none of the adults had poor acting skills, Wu Sheng relaxed, just now I was afraid that she would be misunderstood if she ran out with a red face and red eyes, but I didn't expect it to ......
He smiled and nodded, and then apologized to the others in their seats waiting for him to eat, saying that he had received a call from the comic editor.
There was only Sanji on the side, an expression that I had seen through everything.
After a night of business and a full day, GM Tokyo's name is getting louder and louder, and the reservations are a week away.
After the business is over, Chef Ryūko and Sous Chef Ohana will continue to work on new dishes, while the others will stay in the restaurant to clean up, and the two high school students, Sanji and Takekatsu, will still be the first to go.
On the way, Sanji put his arms around his neck and said with an unhappy face, "Tell me, when did you attack Miss Kuzumi?" Why can't I see a single sign? ”
"Brother, I didn't do anything to her......" After a busy day, thinking of the embarrassing scene in the afternoon, Wu Sheng didn't bother to argue with him, and was unable to explain.
Love the letter, don't believe and pull down!
"Huh." Sanji looked at him like a scumbag, and didn't ask any more, "Don't worry, I'll keep it secret for the two of you, although Chef Lunzi didn't say that you can't fall in love in the workplace, but let's be careful." ”
"If you didn't do it, we would be fine." Wu Sheng looked at Sanji, who was talking to him about the harm of workplace love, and thought to himself.
"By the way, after the serialization is confirmed tomorrow, you really won't resign? Can you get busy? Walking to the subway station, Sanji stopped to preach the scriptures and talked about business.
"I'm almost at the end of my storyboard, so why can't I be busy." Wu Sheng said nonchalantly.
"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Nami." Sanji stopped and said seriously: "After the official serialization, I will try to draw it with you yourself, and the requirements must be different, right?" Won't you help take her workload off? ”
"Well, after the official serialization, the cartoonists will ask for assistants, and they usually invite more than 2, so don't worry about her workload." Wu Sheng also stopped and explained to him.
Just as the two stopped in front of a drink vending machine, Wu Sheng was also thirsty, took out a coin, and asked him what he wanted to drink.
"Coke."
"Pop" and "pop" twice, and two cans of happy water fell.
Wu Sheng handed out a bottle, twisted the cap of the bottle with a "poof", poured half a bottle in a big gulp, burped, sighed comfortably, and didn't leave, leaned against the wall and said to Sanji: "When the time comes, we will also ask the editor to ask the assistant to invite girls." ”
"In this case, then I can rest assured." Sanji also took a sip of his drink, Nami's dark circles under her eyes, her hands stained with ink, he had noticed it a long time ago, but he couldn't stop a person from fighting for his dreams, right?
"Yes, I also said that I would help with blacking or something, but she said that painting is her job, and she doesn't want me to interfere, otherwise the value of her existence will be lost." Wu Sheng sighed helplessly.
"Ah, so stubborn." Sanji sighed.
"I'm afraid she won't even want to hire an assistant now." Wu Sheng poured the rest of the Coke in one gulp and threw it into the trash.
"Won't it?"
"It's also very expensive to hire an assistant, and you have to prepare a workshop or something, which is estimated to cost 500,000 a month."
"500,000?!" Sanji was shocked.
"I checked on the Internet and found that an average manga assistant would be paid 10,000 yen a day. If you come four days a week, you will spend 160,000 yuan a month, and the two assistants will be 320,000 yuan. You're going to have to rent a workshop separately, well, you know. ”
"Wait, didn't you say that cartoonists earn more than 10 million? 500,000 is nothing, right? ”
"With an annual income of 10 million, you will multiply the Fa, right? Besides, we are newcomers, and the income from serialization is about 7.5 million a year. Wu Sheng looked at him helplessly.
"......" Sanji was speechless, 500,000 expenses in 1 month, 6 million a year, 750 minus 600, so the rest is not only 1.5 million?
750,000 a year for one person? Part-time workers at convenience stores earn 3 million a year, okay......
Half-loud, Sanji looked at Wu Sheng and didn't speak, with an expression of whether you are harming an underage girl.
"Hahaha, scared you?" Wu Sheng laughed and comforted: "Don't worry, she knows all this." ”
Then he continued: "Publishing a single book, animated, is the beginning of making money, and before that, it is just to make a living." I'm just worried about her potential richer personality exploding and won't spend the money. ”
"I thought that after you serialized, you wouldn't be able to look at the income here." Sanji covered his face and said, finally understanding why Wu Sheng would continue to work after being serialized.
"Life isn't that easy, bastard." Seeing that Wu Sheng had made it clear, he waved his hand at him to say goodbye, "The seeds we planted have just sprouted. ”
"Tsk." Sanji snorted unhappily, "Pretend to be mature." After a few words on the spot, he went home.
......
An hour after school the next afternoon, Sanji went to work early, and Hattori still didn't hear from him.
Wu Sheng didn't tell the small gang that he had met the new hall owner Chloe, and he was not in a hurry for a day or two.
In reality, a mess of things is waiting for them to deal with.,Now everyone is most concerned about whether the comic series can be completed.,Life is also very important.,Things are dealt with one by one.,Stabilize to win!
After school, Takekatsu didn't wait at the school, and walked to GM Tokyo with Nami, and as soon as he walked out of the school gate, he looked at Luffy Zoro Brook who was waiting for them outside the school gate.
Wu Sheng took two steps forward and asked with a smile, "Nami came to wait for news, what are you doing here?" Don't go to club activities? ”
"At this critical time, we must have to wait together!" Luffy said with a big grin, he didn't go over to eat!
"It's the time of the month!" Brooke also said: "As a senior, I must be by your side at this time to cheer you on!" ”
"It's good to have a day off, a combination of work and rest." Zoro said.
Nami looked at the three people with a look of "Lao Tzu must be present today" with disgust, and hesitated: "Ah...... You've been disturbing everyone's work in the past, right? ”
"We don't have to go in, we can wait outside the door." Luffy said indifferently, "Just remember to bring me a cake to eat." ”
"You're all here, how can I not let you in." Wu Sheng said.
A group of five people walked towards GM Tokyo, and when they walked downstairs, they saw yesterday's young lady Hisaju changing potted flowers on the first floor as usual.
Wu Sheng naturally went up and said hello: "Miss Jiuzhu, good afternoon." ”
"Ah, Takeda-kun, good afternoon." The young lady looked back at him and smiled gently.
Then she looked over to the four people behind him, then looked back at him, signaling that he could begin to explain.
Wu Sheng pointed to the four of them with some embarrassment: "Haha, they are worried about our comics, and they want to come over and wait for news together, don't worry, I will let them wait on the terrace on the second floor, and it will not affect the preparations for business." ”
"Hehe, okay, then you guys go up quickly, in fact, it's okay for them to wait in the lobby, everyone at GM Tokyo wants to hear your good news." The young lady covered her mouth and smiled, Wu Sheng has been working in GM Tokyo for a month, and everyone admires this excellent and steady young man, and they are ready to help him celebrate.
"Okay, that's a bother." Wu Sheng apologized, and then went out to take the group up to the second floor.
"Haha, Takeda, are you here? So many friends? Kyono looked at the five people who came up with a smile, "It seems that it is indeed a crucial battle!" ”
"Uncle Kyono!" Luffy happily leaned over, "Long time no see!" ”
"Haha Luffy, why didn't you come here to play during this time?" Kyono was happy to talk to Luffy.
"When did he become so familiar with Mr. Kyono?" Takekatsu asked Nami, who said he didn't know either.
"Mr. Kyono, they'll only stay here until we have dinner, and if there's no news by then, they'll go back first." Takekatsu and Kyono said.
"OK, no problem! Hurry up and change your clothes, there is something late in the tail flower today, and there are still a lot of ingredients that have not been processed, so you can go and help. ”
"Okay, then a few of them will trouble you."
Takekatsu hands over his phone to Nami, and Hattori will call him to update the news.
Then he went in to change his clothes, and when he saw him coming, the sweaty tail flower hurriedly shouted, "Takeda is here!" Come on, come on, or you won't be able to finish processing these ingredients before business! ”
“OK。” Wu Sheng hurriedly joined.
------
At this time, the editorial department of JUNK Weekly, the serialization meeting was already halfway through.
"Next is "Notes on the Dead King", the author is a newcomer composed of two high school students, who is in charge of our team and the first newcomer I recommend."
"I've heard about this, they recommended themselves to submit it, right?"
"I haven't participated in any newcomer awards."
"I don't have any resume or work in the past."
"Time is also a problem for high school students, we already have cartoonists with genius high school student gimmicks, so we don't need this, right?"
The leaders of the editorial team immediately discussed it, and it seemed that they were not very optimistic about "Notes of the Dead King".
The chubby Aida waited for their discussion to stop before he began to speak: "I know that everyone is still skeptical about the author or a high school student, but I can say that both of them are in the top 10 of their grade, and the 50-page original drawing of this manga was also completed in about 2 weeks, according to them.
They had already researched everything before submitting the manuscript, and they were fully prepared to make sure that they could balance serialization and studies before submitting the manuscript. ”
Aida paused, looked around, made sure they were listening, and continued, "They had never been exposed to manga before, and it seems that they thought about drawing manga because they heard about Mr. Yashiroki Yumeha. In addition to taking out the original 50 pages of the first chapter, there are also 9 complete storyboards, and 10 rough storyboards, which I look at are no less than the drafts that everyone is reading now. ”
"In this case, their talent is undoubted, but they are only a freshman now, right? Now that it's launched, it will definitely be compared to his new wife and Yacheng Mumeba, right? A short-haired editor across from him said with the manuscript in his hand and didn't open it.
"I remember when Yacheng Mu Yumeha's "Detective TRAP", you said the same thing?" Another long-haired editor scolded.
"Ah, wordy, I just think they're still young, maybe they don't have to launch it now, this issue has several teachers' new comic works." The short hair editor replied.
Aida slammed the table and said loudly: "That's not the case, the financial situation of the authors of "Notes of the Dead King" is not good, if they are not serialized this time, they may go to other magazines to submit articles, which is too great a loss for us!" ”
Seeing that everyone was arguing endlessly, the silent editor-in-chief on the side spoke: "Okay, no need to argue!" ”
Aida hurriedly sat down, and the editor-in-chief continued: "As long as the manga is interesting, I finished reading all of this manga in 20 chapters the night before yesterday, and it is so good that it doesn't look like a newcomer." Compared to them, this issue of other cartoonists is a little bit worse, and "Notes of the Dead King" is included in the series. ”
When Aida heard this, he was overjoyed and replied, "Okay! ”
"Well, here's ....."
......
One hour later, at half past five in the afternoon, the leaders of the editorial department walked out of the conference room.
Aita looked at Hattori, who was staring at him as soon as he came out, and nodded with a smile.
Just kidding, if a comic of this level is just a serial meeting, he will eat Xiang on the spot!
Seeing this, Hattori was also overjoyed, and hurriedly picked up the mobile phone on the table and dialed Wu Sheng's mobile phone.
However, it was not Takeshi who answered the phone, but a girl's voice: "Hey, hello, this is Nami Fukada." ”
"Ah, hello Fukada-san, where's Takeda-kun?"
"He's working part-time, so he doesn't have time to answer the phone, is Mr. Hattori calling to inform us of the results?" Nami asked directly, she was actually a little anxious in her heart.
"Yes, congratulations, you're in the series!"
