Chapter 65: Choosing an Assistant
Yan Fei drove the editor-in-chief's car, racing all the way, and as soon as the car arrived downstairs in the studio, Yan Fei opened the door.
Running to the fifth floor in one breath, Yan Fei pushed open the door, and only Shen Xin was left working alone in the studio, while there was a "woo" sound in the next room.
Yan Fei didn't make a sound, just sat quietly in the chair, waiting anxiously for Shen Xin to finish the drawing.
Suddenly, the "whine" sound in the bedroom stopped, and Yang Bo pushed open the door and came out with four manuscripts.
"Done?" Yan Fei suddenly thought that the "woo" sound she had just arrived might be a hair dryer.
"There's one more, and it's probably almost over." Yang Bo handed over the manuscript to Yan Fei.
"He didn't sleep?" Yan Fei asked.
"You're involved in such a thing? Sleeping? Yang Bo asked rhetorically.
Yan Fei shook her head.
"Look, old Shen is holding his breath? I hope that after the painting is finished, he will be able to get a good night's sleep. By the way, did the assistant find it? Yang Bo asked.
"I have a list in hand now, and I can find it as early as tomorrow." Yan Fei said.
"It's better to hurry up. I'm afraid that Lao Shen's body can't bear it. Yang Bo sighed.
"Where's Xiaohan?"
"I was kicked away from class by Shen Xin. Xiao Nizi only practiced for a few days, so she started to fight, so Shen Xin drove her away. ”
"But she's also very good." Yan Fei said.
"Then the girl is also angry? Shen Xin was put on the spot, she looked even angrier than Shen Xin, it was really enviable to have such a caring sister. Yang Bo was very depressed.
"You're not bad, you can stay up late with him."
"Hey...... Someone finally found out about my strengths. Yang Bo scratched his head and smirked.
At this time, Shen Xin suddenly put down his pen and straightened up, "The last one, it's done." ”
"Okay." Yang Bo immediately ran over, and after receiving Shen Xin's sketch, he entered the next bedroom and dried the sketch with a hair dryer as soon as possible.
Yan Fei also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally avoided opening the skylight.
Compared with before, Shen Xin was much haggard at this moment, with dark eyes around his eyes, but his eyes looked very energetic.
Before, Shen Xin gave people the feeling that he was more bland, blending in with the crowd, and he couldn't even feel his breath. But now it's different, and there is already a sharp edge in the eyes.
"Do you know who is causing the trouble?" Shen Xin rubbed his eyes and leaned back on the back of the chair tiredly.
I didn't close my eyes for more than 30 hours, and I kept insisting until this moment when I relaxed.
"There are clues, and the editor-in-chief is verifying them." Yan Fei muttered a little in her heart.
There was a clue yesterday afternoon, but until this evening, there is still no accurate answer, which is also a strange thing.
"Hmm. I'm sorry for you. Shen Xin's brows raised slightly.
"By the way, and the assistant thing, I'll try to ...... on Saturday and Sunday I will find it by all means. Yan Fei said.
"Please." Shen Xin's eyes could barely be opened, but his mind was very clear.
It's like staying up for twenty hours and drinking two large cups of coffee before going to bed.
"I'll send you back later?"
"No, I'll sleep here today, and the name of the next episode will have to be revised again." Shen Xin muttered.
"Eh, the name of the next episode is already very good." Yan Fei has read the name of the next sentence, and in her opinion, it is better than this one.
"But...... Not good enough. ”
Yan Fei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Shen Xin obviously increased his requirements for name, this can be regarded as an unexpected joy, right?
Yang Bo walked out of the bedroom again and handed the last page to Yan Fei.
"Want me to give you a ride?" Yan Fei asked.
"If I could, of course, it would be great. But I still have to take care of Lao Shen. You don't want him to die suddenly, do you? Yang Bo laughed.
"Uh...... Although I want to thank you, I still hope that you will keep your crow mouth shut. Yan Fei put the last page of the manuscript in the file bag and immediately left the studio.
"You should have gone with her." Shen Xin closed his eyes and said in a low voice.
"Why are you going with her? She will definitely have to go back to the magazine, and she will have to wait another half hour or even an hour. With this time, I would have gone home a long time ago. ”
"It's up to you, if you don't want to sleep here, go back and rest?"
"Shall I come back tomorrow?" Yang Bo asked.
"No need. It's been a hard two days. Expenses...... Tomorrow to you. ”
"If it's for the money, I'm not going to come back. Rest well. Yang Bo waved his hand, pushed the door and left.
Shen Xin in the room slowly opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. This kind of thing must not happen again.
……
Yan Fei hurriedly handed over the manuscript to the editorial department, and the breath that had been blocked in her chest disappeared for the most part.
When I returned home, I took a shower, and my tiredness was suddenly reduced a lot.
Wrapped in a bath towel, he took out a beer from the refrigerator and the contact information of 10 painters from his purse.
These 10 people are all unfamiliar faces, at least new pen names, which can basically be determined to be newcomers.
The only downside is that the level of these 10 people is uneven. However, after going through this incident, she also prefers an assistant with character assurance rather than looking for a skilled painter.
When registering, she looked at most of the people's drawings and sorted the 10 artists to find the most suitable person. However, contrary to expectations, people who are good at painting usually do not want to be other people's assistants, and in the blink of an eye, there is only one person left.
"Mu Ning ......"
Listening to the name, it is obviously a pen name.
The reason why Yan Fei put him last is because his painting style is very narrow, the boys he paints are all beautiful, and the female characters are also not too malleable.
But this painter also has his own characteristics, the use of dot paper is much better than Qiao Yu's, and the handling of fictional backgrounds is also in place.
It is likely that this artist had been drawing shoujo manga before, but for some unknown reason, he suddenly submitted it to a shonen manga magazine. But there are many differences between shoujo manga and shonen manga.
If this artist can't adapt to shonen comics, he probably won't last long.
But this is the last person, and Yan Fei doesn't have much to do but pray that he can accept his invitation.
After two rings, the phone was answered.
"Hey, is it Teacher Mu Ning?"
"I am, may I ask you ......?"
A delicate voice came out of the microphone.
Schoolgirl......
Yan Fei scratched her head, a little overwhelmed, this was completely beyond her expectations.
"Hello, I'm the editor of New World, Yan Fei, you've contributed to NewWorld before, right?"
"That's right. Hello, what are you looking for me? ”
"That's right, excuse me...... Are you interested in working as an assistant to other cartoonists. ”
The editor-in-chief had reminded her before that once the other party refused, she should not be entangled, but this was already the last one, and she had to try it anyway.
"As an assistant?" The other party didn't expect Yan Fei to ask like this, and he was a little unprepared.
"You should have switched from other types of manga to shonen manga, right?" Yan Fei saw that the other party was a little hesitant, and immediately added.
"Can you tell?"
"Different styles of art, suitable for different types of comics. There are some shadows of other manga in your work, and they are quite obvious, so if you want to draw shonen manga, it is best to study for a while. Yan Fei said seriously.
“…… Is that teacher awesome? ”
Hearing this, Yan Fei immediately knew that there was a play.
"Author of New World's signature comic "Y's."
"Teacher Shen Zheng?"
"Yes, but he's a long-term assistant. If you still have time, we can meet individually and discuss the details at that time. Yan Fei was apprehensive, for fear that the other party would refuse.
After more than half a minute of silence, the voice of "OK" finally came from the microphone.
Yan Fei suddenly felt a sense of relief.
One, and it's only to be determined, but she's like she's done with the task.
Tomorrow, be sure to finalize the assistant, at least one.
