Although he found a consultant, before signing a contract with Xie Shiqi, Shen Xin couldn't put his mind at ease.

In the event of any accidents, Tse may also give up working as a consultant.

It wasn't until Wang Wenhong called and told Shen Xin that he and Xie Shiqi were rushing to the studio that Shen Xin's tense nerves relaxed.

After washing his face and eating a little, Shen Xin called Gao Hang again.

Gao Hang told Shen Xin that he would have to wait a little longer for a new assistant to complete the handover before he could work in the studio.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xin came to the workbench.

Since Xie Shiqi is coming, Shen Xin also has to start drawing line drawings, but there is no assistant, and the speed is slower.

There are four scenes in the first episode: the protagonist's home, school, Sawei's era, and the Go classroom.

But the protagonist's home and school are not the focus of the story, Zuo Wei's era is in the Ming Dynasty, and the drawing of the scene should refer to some information, as for the Go classroom, if possible, Shen Xin hopes that Xie Shiqi can provide some relevant photos.

For the time being, Shen Xin took a pencil and drew the line drawing roughly, and then drew the background well.

Although Shen Xin has been practicing Ken Obata's style of painting since the stop of "Y's", however, after actually writing and preparing to draw line drawings, the lines always inadvertently move closer to Gui Zhenghe's painting style.

Although Shen Xin is a little helpless, the change of painting style always requires a process.

In this regard, when Shen Xin was an online author, he also had a deep understanding that after the end of a book, even if he took a break for a while, his fingers would always type out the name of the character in the upper part on the keyboard, and sometimes, he didn't even pay attention to it at all, causing readers to ask when reading the book, who is this character and why has it never appeared?

At that time, he really had an indescribable embarrassment.

This should be muscle memory, although "Y's" was not finished, but Shen Xin has also been painting for more than a year and is familiar with that style of painting, so Shen Xin can only make adjustments while drawing line drawings.

However, Shen Xin is not worried about this situation, in fact, if the reader pays attention, unless it is a cartoonist with a mature and stable painting style, otherwise, the style of a full-length comic will always be slightly different in the early and late stages, as is the case with "Chess Soul" drawn by Ken Ohata.

I had just drawn two pages of line drawings when the doorbell rang.

Shen Xin went downstairs to open the door, and Wang Wenhong and Xie Shiqi stood outside.

Xie Shiqi was dressed in casual clothes yesterday, and the light was not good, so she didn't make a deep impression, but she just felt that the voice was better.

Today, Xie Shiqi changed into well-fitting clothes, which made people's eyes shine.

She wore her hair in a ponytail, bangs on her forehead, slender eyebrows, large eyes, a pink coat on the outside, a white sweater on the inside, and a white handbag in both hands, which she placed in front of her.

Although Xie Chengbo said yesterday that she was 22 years old, just looking at her appearance, she should only be about 20 years old.

"You're so early." Shen Xin said with a smile.

"There's no way, Mr. Shang is urging very tightly, and the serial date must be determined today and tomorrow, and the task is very heavy." Wang Wenhong led Xie Shiqi into the room.

Xie Shiqi looked around, her face showing surprise.

"I thought cartoonists were all very hard-working?"

"It's very bitter. I can't afford to buy a house in Hongchuan, so I can only rent it for a while. Shen Xin pointed to the corner by the window, "The two of you go over and sit first, and I'll take two bottles of coffee." ”

"Shouldn't it be ground coffee?" Wang Wenhong said curiously.

"......" Shen Xin looked at Wang Wenhong dissatisfied, and said after a while, "I didn't buy a coffee machine." ”

What's more, grinding coffee is not as convenient as taking two cans of coffee directly.

In the corner, there is a small round table with several chairs around it.

After Xie Shiqi and Wang Wenhong sat down, Shen Xin also took out the coffee and put it in front of the two.

"Gao Hang can come over tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and you can help me find an assistant."

"Is one enough?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"Almost, right?" After Shen Xin sat down, he opened the coffee, "Another assistant of mine before me will also come to Hongchuan after graduating from college, submit articles to the magazine again and again, and study again and again." When the time comes, you can help pay attention, if there is any competition, don't forget to talk to her. ”

"I know, but the newcomer will definitely be published in "Shonen Future", and "ComicFuture" has no chance." Wang Wenhong explained.

"Okay. You're going to have to worry about it. Shen Xin took a sip of coffee and looked at Xie Shiqi again, "Teacher Xie, let's talk about cooperation too, right?" ”

"Hmm." Xie Shiqi nodded, her expression a little restrained.

"I'd like to ask...... No, Mr. Xie, don't be nervous, we are all good people. Shen Xin saw that Xie Shiqi kept her head down, quite helpless.

"I know, but I rarely go to strange places, so ...... I'm sorry. ”

Since it was due to his character, Shen Xin had no choice.

"The work I want to ask Mr. Xie to do is not too difficult, but it is not too simple. First of all, it must be a chess game, I would like to ask Mr. Xie to pick some more chess games, and pick out the most suitable comic plot. At the same time, because it is a Go comic, there will be places related to Go in the book, such as Go salons, chess clubs, dojos, and Huaxia Chess Academy...... By the way, I heard that there is also a national Go fixed-stage tournament, and only by passing the fixed-stage tournament can you become a professional chess player, so I also need a photo of the test venue. ”

"So many photos?" Xie Shiqi was surprised.

"No way." Shen Xin touched his nose, "I also want to draw an excellent Go comic, so I need to cooperate with professional chess players." In addition, in the middle of the story, the protagonist needs to learn chess in a dojo, and I hope to use the 'Xie Chengbo Go Dojo' as a prototype. So, from the inside out, even the restroom, it's best to have photos of these places. ”

"Wait...... You mean it's based on the 'Xie Chengbo Go Dojo'? Xie Shiqi stood up in surprise.

"That's right. If it's inconvenient......"

"No, no, no...... No problem for sure. Xie Shiqi waved her hand again and again.

"However, there are some things that I want to tell you in advance, although the comic will be based on 'Xie Chengbo Go Dojo', it will definitely have to change its name. Overall, the manga is still a fictional story. Shen Xin explained.

"I understand, I can." Xie Shiqi nodded again and again.

Since she decided to become a professional chess player, she has almost practiced chess in the "Xie Chengbo Go Dojo" and has a deep affection for the dojo. Shen Xinneng used "Xie Chengbo Go Dojo" as the prototype to create Go comics, and serialized them in "ComicFuture", which is equivalent to advertising the dojo for free.

It was a big magazine that sold 5 million copies, and it was much more effective than advertising.

Xie Shiqi can still weigh the pros and cons clearly, so after Shen Xin made a request, Xie Shiqi couldn't wait to say it without thinking or even waiting for Shen Xin to finish speaking.
