Chapter 349: Meeting
Early the next morning, Shen Xin mentioned this matter to Xi Muhan again, and postponed the trip to Tokyo for another day.
Anyway, the group of people who came together, except for Wang Wenhong, everyone else had time. Moreover, even if it is Wang Wenhong, as long as the monk Haozhi applies in advance, he can take a few days off.
Xi Muhan had already learned about this from Yan Fei yesterday.
At that time, I felt a little depressed, but after a night, Xi Muhan's mood also adjusted, and when she saw Shen Xin explaining to her, she hurriedly waved her hand, "It's okay, I can take advantage of this time to sort out the information for the next book." β
As long as you have a notebook, you can work.
This is home, and correspondingly, there are a lot of tools for cartoonists.
"That, I, I...... Do you want to go too? Wang Wenhong pointed to himself and looked at Yan Fei expectantly.
"Does Tamagawa-sensei know you?" Yan Fei asked.
Shake oneβs head.
"Did Mr. Tamagawa invite you?" Yan Fei then asked.
Shake oneβs head.
"So what are you going to do?" Yan Fei was puzzled.
ββ¦β¦β
That's right, but Wang Wenhong sounded a little uncomfortable, and he was too unappreciated.
Shen Xin's arm was on Wang Wenhong's shoulder and comforted: "Brother Wang, don't worry, we will be back in the afternoon." β
Wang Wenhong sighed helplessly, "Go ahead, go ahead...... By the way, if he's a lobbyist for Shonen Leap, you have to keep your will strong and not be deceived by his rhetoric. β
"Have you watched too many business war movies?" Shen Xin glanced at Wang Wenhong, and said in a low voice, "Where is there such a good thing?" β
"Hey, Mr. Shen, don't you really want to do this......" Wang Wenhong yelled, Shen Xin pretended not to hear, and entered the taxi with Yan Fei.
"Don't worry, my brother won't be going to Shonen Leap." Xi Muhan explained.
"How do you know?"
Regardless of whether Xi Muhan's words are true or not, Wang Wenhong's mood is much more comfortable.
"Of course it'......" Xi Muhan changed his words halfway through, "Why should I tell you?" β
Help outsiders analyze Brother Xin, I won't do such a stupid thing!
Xi Muhan turned around and entered the hotel.
Wang Wenhong rolled his eyes, seeming to ...... He was teased by everyone once.
Depressed.
Inside the taxi.
Since Yan Fei refused Shen Xin's invitation, the two of them have never mentioned that incident.
Now, only they are all sitting in the back row, and there are no other acquaintances around, and the atmosphere is a little awkward.
In the end, Yan Fei had to take the lead in finding a topic, "Teacher Shen, I listened to you yesterday and already have an idea for the new book?" β
"Two or three, right? But it has not been determined. Shen Xin explained.
"Why?" Yan Fei said curiously.
"I don't know which one will be popular with readers. The editors have read a lot of books, but there are still times when they are blind, let alone me. Whether a comic will sell well or not depends on the reader's preferences, but their preferences will change over time. The confident work of a cartoonist may be on the street, and the cartoon with graffiti may also be popular with readers. I'm also hesitant about which type to choose, so I'm looking forward to meeting Haruka Tamagawa. β
"See him? What's the use? Yan Fei was puzzled.
"Listen to his verdict on the District 11 comics and see if I can find some clues." Shen Xin turned his head to look at Yan Fei, "Wait a while, please translate Teacher Yuchuan's words more accurately." β
"Hearing you say that, I'm suddenly stressed." Yan Fei said with a smile.
"I'm more stressed, and if I don't find a clue, I'll feel a little sorry for you."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the embarrassment between them was eliminated a lot.
Tokyo has more residents than Hongchuan, and houses are correspondingly much more expensive, and popular manga artists like Haruka Tamagawa have only rented a house in the suburbs and used it as a studio.
In this respect, he is somewhat similar to Shen Xin, but the studio he rents is older, which is somewhat similar to Shen Xin's studio in Yunhai.
On the way here, the two of them bought some fruit.
After all, if you want to be a guest in someone else's studio, no matter whether the thing is expensive or not, you must always show something.
Yan Fei found his studio according to the text message sent by Haruka Tamagawa, and just rang the doorbell when he heard footsteps coming from inside the house.
A Zhengtai, who is not too old, appeared in front of the two.
Due to the heating in the house, even though it was winter, Shota didn't wear too much, wearing a light gray sweatshirt with a hood on the top and light-colored slacks on the bottom.
The hair covers the forehead, the eyebrows are slender, the eyes are large, the shape of the cheeks is slightly round, and there is a feeling of baby fat, but from the figure, there is no sign of obesity, as for the height, it is slightly shorter than Shen Xin.
This is Haruka Tamagawa?
Shen Xin had some impressions of this young man, but it was still hard to imagine that the first meeting between the two people was so plain.
Yuchuan Yao's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Xin, his face was slightly red, and he was a little excited. After saying a few words to Yan Fei, he bowed to Shen Xin again, and Shen Xin hurriedly returned the salute.
The language barrier is a bit troublesome.
Shen Xin was a little helpless, thinking about how to talk to Yuchuan Yao, when he saw him constantly pulling his clothes and whispering something to Yan Fei.
Yan Fei looked back at Shen Xin, "I'm in." It was too cold outside, and Mr. Tamagawa couldn't bear it. β
ββ¦β¦β
Haruka Tamagawa is so real.
The cartoonist's studio is basically the same, with a workbench for the main writer, a workbench for assistants, and a special place for car entry.
There are no other assistants in the studio today, only Haruka Tamagawa alone.
Changing into slippers, Shen Xin followed the two into the studio and put the fruit on the wall.
Yuchuan Haruka turned around and said a sentence, and Yan Fei immediately translated this sentence, "He said that in order to meet with us, he deliberately gave his assistants a vacation. β
I see.
Yuchuan Yao's words can be regarded as solving Shen Xin's doubts.
When all three of them sat down, Yuchuan Yao bowed slightly again, "I didn't expect Teacher Shen and Sister Yan to come to District 11, I'm really ...... The emotions in my heart are difficult to express in words. I was already very surprised to see Sister Yan. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Shen, maybe it's a bigger surprise, right? β
"Where...... Originally, we planned to visit Mr. Tamagawa, but Sister Yan said that Mr. Tamagawa has been too busy recently, and we will disturb your work when we come over, so the matter has been put on hold. β
These polite words made Shen Xin a little uncomfortable, too literary.
Yan Fei also felt that the atmosphere was a little restrained, so she guided the conversation to the topic.
"That...... Mr. Tamagawa, why are you looking for us? β
"That's right, after reading the last episode of "Chess Soul", I felt that a good comic should have a relatively complete ending, instead of procrastinating all the time, so I proposed to the magazine to end "Slam Dunk". After some arguments, the editor-in-chief agreed to my request. "Slam Dunk" probably has four more words, and it is about to end. Sister Yan also put a lot of hard work into this comic, so I want to thank you. As for Mr. Shen, I have always wanted to meet you, and I have learned a lot from "Chess Soul". β
Haruka Tamagawa's eyes lit up and he pointed to the bookshelf on the side.
Shen Xin looked away and saw a set of "Chess Souls" in the most conspicuous place on the bookshelf.
