Volume 2 Let's Assemble! Dream chaser! Chapter 139: Dinner
"Moses Moses, Takeda?" Nami put down her paintbrush and picked up the phone, "Is something wrong?" ”
There was a noisy crowd on the other side of the phone, and Wu Sheng plugged his left ear and said, "We have sold everything, and this money is a bit unexpected, so Zoro wants to gather everyone to have a good meal together!" You should bring Miss Yasui and Miss Okayu with you! ”
"A good meal? How much did you sell? Millions? Nami asked curiously, why did they feel a little swollen when they heard this?
Wu Sheng didn't make a loud sound, put his left hand down from his ear, covered his mouth and said into the microphone: "12 million." ”
"What?!" Nami stood up suddenly: "So many?!" ”
"Yes, thanks to Bucky for taking us to an old-timer, otherwise it is estimated that we would not be able to sell so much, you invited Miss Yasui and Miss Okayasu, since they became our assistants, they have not been thanked, this time can be regarded as a small thank you."
"Okay, where are we going to meet later?" Nami smiled, this money is too much! She couldn't help but have the idea of going to the crime world tonight to kill the world and collect more things to sell.
"Just near Jimbocho, you guys continue to be busy first, we'll come back for a while, and we'll call you when we get there." Wu Sheng: They are still a little far from home.
"Okay." Nami happily hung up the phone and sat down for a while.
After a while, he came back to his senses, stood up again and invited the two assistant ladies to a dinner party.
Yasui and Okayu are self-conscious, they like their current job very much, and Nami and Takekatsu invite them to dinner as a sign of recognition of their abilities, so they readily agreed.
There are many kinds of people who become comic assistants, but they are roughly divided into two types: one is to become a manga artist, and when there is no successful serialization, they live by being an assistant to earn living expenses; The other is that it doesn't matter whether you become a cartoonist or not, you treat your assistant as a kind of work and life.
The second type of "it doesn't matter if you become a cartoonist or not" is divided into those who give up their dream of being a cartoonist after recognizing the reality after years of failure, and those who themselves just enjoy drawing and like to be an assistant.
The two of them are the kind of people who like to draw and like to be assistants.
Over the years, the two have served as assistants in different manga artists and different styles of manga, and they can be regarded as well-informed and experienced, otherwise Hattori would not have invited them to be Nami's assistants.
This time the work of "Notes of the Dead King" can be regarded as a very comfortable job that the two of them agreed on.
Nami and Takesheng don't have the arrogance of the so-called young geniuses, they work seriously and calmly, they don't jump out, they don't procrastinate, they never let them work overtime, and they basically complete their work on time.
And because Wu Sheng made all the shots early, "Death Note" has never been like ordinary manga artists who have to entangle the follow-up plot, or work hard to conceive and cause a depressing atmosphere, Nami's mood has always been very relaxed, and the working atmosphere is also very good.
In fact, it's good that they can't think of it, but what they are more afraid of is the kind of bad thing that wants to play one out and change the plot halfway through the painting to overturn and redraw.
Many cartoonists are inspired to do this kind of thing when they think of better ideas, and they put down their faces and beg them for help, as assistants, how can they refuse?
After all, everyone in the circle is engaged in creation, more or less there is a bit of such a bad problem, the inspiration can't be stopped, if you refuse, once or twice it's nothing, and the reputation spreads, even if the cartoonist understands, the editors won't give priority to finding them if they have a job in the future.
But as soon as they agreed, it might be an all-nighter, or even two all-nighters or three all-nighters, they are girls, once or twice is fine, and too much is too tiring.
After taking over this job this time, they also had such worries: Nami and Wusheng are too young, they are only in their first year of high school, and they are enthusiastic and stay up all night as if they are playing, although they are not very old and only in their 20s, they can't win!
However, they love Nami and the style of "Dead King's Notes" too much, Jue
Since you can encounter this kind of thing anywhere anyway, it's better to draw what you like!
So when they were prepared to work with the psychology that they might have a lot of delays and overtime, the reality gave them a big surprise.
Takekatsu and Nami, the two, don't look like newcomers at all.
As a script creator, Wu Sheng basically never appears every day, only every Friday afternoon when Hattori comes to discuss some things with the original manuscript, and when discussing the plot and storyboard, he is as steady as an old dog, and there is never a newcomer's problem, decisive, sharp, and confident.
Hattori can only make some suggestions on painting, and the plot is really that Wu Sheng is rushing away with all his strength, and no one pays attention to it!
They also secretly guessed that Wu Sheng had done the first few words of the storyboard.
Because it's only 20 words, he should discuss the development of the follow-up plot with Nami in the studio, but, never!
Nami never mentions it.
And Nami, who is a painter, is even more terrifying.,Basically, I finish the next day's line draft a day in advance.,Anyway, I never delayed the draft.,Occasionally, I'll tell them in advance because of some delays.。
The atmosphere is good, the cartoonists and playwrights are super capable, and the results of these two issues are also excellent.
Compared to where they used to work: cartoonists sometimes ran out of inspiration, or their grades dropped and caused cartoonists to be sluggish, grumpy, and overtime for a long time, which made them scared, now this job is simply heavenly treatment.
Moreover, "Notes of the Dead King" has been widely praised since it was serialized, and many cartoonists and assistants who have worked before are asking them about the situation of these two high school newcomers, and they are envious when they hear them.
So even though they haven't been working with Nami for less than a month, they value this job far more than ever.
I heard that Nami was originally a girl and a high school student at tonight's dinner, so naturally she didn't worry about anything, and after happily agreeing, her work efficiency went to the next level.
......
After 40 minutes, it was already dark, and when Takesheng and Zoro walked out of the subway station, they saw Luffy and a group of them standing aside and waiting.
Brooke and Khaya also came over together, and judging by their expressions, it was not bad this afternoon.
Sanji and Usopp looked envious, jealous and hateful, and walked in front of Zoro left and right, and asked in a suppressed voice, "Really sold for 12 million!? Are those necklaces worth so much? ”
They've seen those things too, and Sauron said they didn't care if they wanted to sell them, and thought it was worth anything.
"Yes." Sauron cherished words like gold, nodded reservedly, money is a man's courage, no matter how old a man is, he counts: "I'll treat you tonight, eat open!" ”
Sanji and Usopp glanced at each other, nodded, and reached a tacit understanding: Tonight, they must slaughter this guy who abused them during the special training!
Wu Sheng walked behind and introduced a few people: "This is Uncle Bucky, a senior who takes good care of us. This is Senior Brooke and Keya, our partners in the light music department. ”
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly at Bucky, indicating that the two of them were not awakened people, but just ordinary people.
Bucky understood, smiled and nodded at them, it was considered an acquaintance.
"Please advise." Neither Keya nor Brooke expected there to be a stranger tonight, and bowed slightly with some restraint.
Wu Sheng smiled: "Uncle Bucky is his own person, don't be so polite, tonight's dinner still has half of his credit." ”
Bucky likes people to praise him, and he waved his hand again and again when Wu Sheng said it: "Hahaha, it's not a big deal!" ”
Several people smiled and walked towards the street near Takekatsu's house, and joined the three Nami who had already gone downstairs, and a group of people walked down the street, trying to find a suitable shop.
There were 11 of them, and it was rush hour at this time, and there were many small shops
I couldn't sit so many of them, and I walked back and forth for several streets, but I still couldn't find a place.
Each of Tokyo's 23 wards has its own standard of living and culture, and unlike the high-end sushi restaurants and sake restaurants in Shinjuku Ginza or Shibuya, Jimbocho is home to some famous restaurants with a long history.
But many of them only have a bar or a table for 4 people, and they can only receive up to 8 people, they looked for several restaurants to eat, and after entering, they found that they couldn't sit down, so they had to come out and look for it again.
Luckily, they didn't look for long, and they came across a shop with navy blue curtains, a wide door made of shiny bamboo strips, a lantern lit on the right side of the door, and the eaves on the door were quaint tiles.
A strong retro atmosphere is blowing in the face.
Wu Sheng walked to the front of the door and saw that the menu was for sukiyaki and shabu-shabu, which are generally provided in private rooms, which is very suitable.
If you look closely, you will find that this shop was founded in 1895, which is a century-old store!
Open the menu and see: [Our sukiyabe beef is all selected black Wagyu beef, and the first floor provides black black wagyu iron plate steak. 】
There is also a picture of this beef on the menu, the snow pattern is very even, and the pink meat looks very appetizing.
Kuroge Wagyu beef has a very tender texture and a low melting point, and when you eat it, you have the feeling that the meat is melting in your mouth, and the taste is very mellow.
Wu Sheng didn't care for a while, flipped back, and finally saw the price tag:
Damn! This price is estimated to cost 10,000 yen per person, plus his understanding of Luffy, a foodie, this meal can't be made without 200,000!
He retreated a little helplessly and whispered to Zoro, "This shop is a bit expensive, let's look for it again." ”
Zoro raised his eyebrows when he heard this, expensive? How expensive?
Thinking about going forward by yourself, it seems to be okay, it's not expensive!
Looking at the picture of beef and sukiyaki in the picture, he swallowed his saliva, and the taste of the sukiyaki pot they made from the last time Wu Sheng described to him inexplicably appeared in his mind.
He turned his head, very inflated: "That's it, little meaning!" "There's also a suit of armor and a jade-like tusk in the light department! According to today's market, it is estimated that it can still sell for one or two million!
After that, he didn't wait for Wu Sheng to persuade again, opened the bamboo door and lifted the curtain and walked in.
.......
Wu Sheng slapped his forehead, this guy looks like a nouveau riche, it seems that he is going to slaughter him well today, let him keep it in the future, and don't take quick money for money.
"Then let's go in too."
The two assistant ladies quietly pulled Nami's sleeves: "Nami, I've heard of this store, it's a century-old famous store, and the price is not cheap!" You're still trying to persuade Takeda-kun, right? ”
Nami didn't make it clear to them, they thought it was Takeda's treat.
Although Bucky looks mature, he has always followed honestly, and he didn't participate in the selection of stores, and Wusheng didn't ask him, and he knew at a glance that he was not the one who paid the bill.
With so many people, this one meal can make half of the 20-page manuscript fee of the "Notes of the Dead King"! You've just just started serializing.,A single book hasn't come out.,Just come to this kind of store to consume.,Right?
Takeda-kun is really still a young man, although he is quite reliable at work, but spending money seems to be a wanton teenager who is drunk today!
Although Nami also thinks it's a bit expensive, but Zoro's money is too easy to come by, and she doesn't have any perception, thinking that it's not her own money anyway, and everyone has really been tired recently, so it's okay to find some delicious food to nourish your soul.
smiled and said to the two: "It's okay, don't worry, they made a lot of extra money today, don't worry!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled the two assistant ladies one by one, and followed the little friends in front of him in.
