153. Light novel illustration

After that, in the apologetic expression of Chixia Kotobuki, Jiang Yu and Kyoko Kato embarked on the return journey alone.

The reason is that after dealing with the affairs of the piano shop, Chinatsu is going to visit her teacher in the hospital. Jiang Yu and Kyoko Kato, who are self-conscious outsiders, don't want to be so uninteresting to bother others too much when they are sick.

So the two offered their farewells. Qinfu Qianxia thought for a moment, but did not hold back.

On the way back, Kyoko Kato said to Jiang Yu with a teasing smile: "Why didn't I find out that you were so good at chatting before?" But after a short while, I got the contact information of other girls. ”

Jiang Yu was a little helpless in his heart, and secretly asked.

The thing Kyoko Kato was referring to was naturally that after Jiang Yu discussed it with Kotobuki, when they exchanged contact information with each other, it happened that she and Chixia Kotobuki, who had handled the matter, returned to the recording studio together.

So in the surprised and playful eyes of the two who came back, Jiang Yu stubbornly exchanged each other's contact information with Qin Fuji.

At that time, he thought that he might be asked about it, and sure enough, Kyoko Kato lived up to his expectations.

So he rolled his eyes at him, Jiang Yu, who somewhat understood Kato's character, simply closed his mouth, looking like silence was golden.

Strange to say, Kyoko Kato may be the least like an elder among all the people Jiang Yu has come into contact with who are older than him. As a result, Jiang Yu's way of treating her on weekdays is more like a friend than an elder.

Treating Jiang Yu's behavior of ignoring him, Kato Kyoko was not angry, but said to herself: "They are all nieces, bobs and long hair, one is good at music, and the other is ...... Hmm, subtle presence? Ah~ However, the so-called 'near the water building gets the moon first', Xiaohui's odds of winning are still quite big! ”

Hearing this, the corners of Jiang Yu's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but considering the trouble of being accosted after saying it, he swallowed the words back, and was very uncomfortable.

Subsequently, the two parted at the intersection, and after watching Kato's back disappear on the road to the café, Jiang Yu turned around and walked towards his house.

Although he went out early in the morning, after some inexplicable running and busyness, when Jiang Yu returned home, it was almost time for lunch.

After having lunch with the Tsuchima, Jiang Yu returned to his room, turned on the computer, and prepared to continue the production process of "The Witch's House".

Even if it's such a small game of tens of M, it's very troublesome to want to make it alone. Even if in essence, Jiang Yu's work is similar to copying a work, but when he even has to prepare the materials himself, the workload is not much different from making a new work independently.

Two hours slowly passed in the slightly boring material block coloring project, Jiang Yu yawned, unconsciously took out his mobile phone to look, and found that there was a message on LINE from the black cat that he was responsible for editing, and the time was ...... Half an hour ago?

What's going on over there?

Jiang Yu secretly thought, and clicked on LINE at the same time.

Black Cat: "Is the teacher free now?" There's something that needs to be troubled!"

Tu Su: "You're free, what's wrong?"

Black Cat: "Teacher, you've finally replied to the message!"

After sending the message, Jiang Yu, who was just about to put down his mobile phone, was taken aback by the speed of the other party's reply to the message.

Wow, I always feel that the other party, as an editor, treats this work more attentively than I am......

Jiang Yu was secretly speechless. Later, through the communication with the black cat, Jiang Yu probably understood what the other party was looking for him.

In short, "My Youth Love Story Really Has a Problem" that performed well on the rookie award list has been recognized by the Immortal River Library.,I'm starting to prepare for publication.,Now I'm looking for an illustrator to draw light illustrations.,Ask him if the author has any requirements.。

Light illustration...... Jiang Yu began to rub his chin back and forth with his right index finger, falling into a state of contemplation.

By definition, it is easy to read, mainly popular in island countries, but recently it has gradually begun to radiate to China. Usually light illustrations will use the anime style.,And although it's a bit of a light writer who can't help writing articles seriously.,But good illustrations can really drive the sales of the whole light.。

Especially for newcomers, there is no fan base, and the illustrations can be said to largely determine whether readers who pass by by chance will pick up your work and take a first look. After all, no matter how compelling an article is, it won't be of the slightest use if others don't even look at it.

Besides, the whole light industry is now...... With the exception of a handful of authors who write books entirely out of interest, or a few who don't bother to eat or drink, most light writers write works — to paraphrase a well-known reviewer blurted out a joke in a radio interview — by buying illustrations and giving them away. If it's more excessive, it's to buy illustrations and get toilet paper, such as a certain IS.

In his previous life, Jiang Yu first came into contact with domestic online texts, and then gradually came into contact with light, and at first he was a little uncomfortable with a pair of illustrations from time to time, and then he slowly got used to it.

Therefore, Jiang Yu pays more attention to the content of books than illustrations. His reading experience since he was a child has made his attitude towards illustration more or less chicken ribs, and it's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless.

It's like "Infinite Stratos", which has the title of "Wall of Masterpieces", in that period of "no matter what the hell you shoot, as long as the girl is cute enough, I'll buy it", it sold a jaw-dropping volume average of 34 sales, which makes people sigh that the money in the dead house is really easy to make at the same time, it also indirectly changed the subsequent development of the animation industry.

Since I can make a lot of money when I make such a lump of garbage, what else do I have to do with the connotative F/Z, Eternal Wine, and EVA?

Of course, it may be biased to say that it is garbage, after all, other people's personalities are still quite good. But the original...... It's hard to put into words. At least at that time, I had the curiosity to read Jiang Yu, who read the first volume, and after a quick glance and read a few chapters, he muttered something to write and then retreated.

In this world, there seems to be IS, too, and it also exists as a wall of masterpieces, and it is also evaluated by the majority of non-fan readers as "buy illustrations and get toilet paper", and even many readers who have bought them bluntly say something like "I just want illustrations, and it's not too expensive".

And the so-called "wall of masterpieces" is a concept thrown out by some people on 2ch when many people on the Internet debate whether a hot work can be considered a masterpiece. At first, the boundaries of the wall of masterpieces were not clear, and there were different theories, but later they were generally used to refer specifically to IS. Roughly speaking, if the sales of such and such a work can't even surpass such a cute and meat-selling harem machine war film, what face do you have to call it a masterpiece?
