Chapter 28: Here comes the assistant

The whole room is not like it has not been inhabited for a long time.

The brown wooden floors were clean and bright, as if they had just been cleaned, and there was no dust or mold in the room.

The studio is large and should have been converted from a three-bedroom apartment. In the living room, there are four desks, two with drawing boards and two with through-writing desks.

"This is where the assistant works." Yan Fei pointed to the four tables in the living room, "Although there are only two people for the time being, in case of intense work or a fire in "Y's", maybe we will find other assistants, and we will also take precautions." In addition, printers and computers are located in the corner, making it easy to print or process photos. You can also fax the name to me, but I have to pick up the original manuscript myself. ”

"No problem."

"Your studio is in the next room, and the other two rooms are bedrooms, so if someone goes back late and can't catch the subway or shuttle, they can rest here." Yan Fei led Shen Xin and gave a brief introduction to the room.

Although standing downstairs, I felt that this building was relatively shabby, but the decoration inside was what Shen Xin liked. Plain and tidy, no extra ornaments, and air conditioning, refrigerator, washing machine are relatively complete, in addition, outside the living room, there is also a balcony.

It was nice to blow the air and dry the clothes.

"Don't hesitate to ask for anything else." After Yan Fei returned to the living room, she didn't have time to rest, so she asked Shen Xin again.

"I want to lift my desk out." Shen Xin asked, pointing to the desk.

"Why?" Yan Fei was puzzled.

Sometimes, the assistant sometimes needs some personal matters and needs to communicate on the phone. Whether intentionally or not, it's easy to influence other people. For this reason, many cartoonists want to be separated from their assistants.

"If my assistant and I are separated by a wall, it is easy to create a barrier, and the small problems on the drawing will also be retained because of the existence of the wall and the door, which reduces communication. It would be better for me to be with my assistants and discuss them directly if we have any questions. ”

"Yes." Yan Fei bowed slightly, rolled up her sleeves, "Come, I'll help you." ”

"You?" Shen Xin pursed his lips with a look of disbelieving.

"I know you don't believe it." Yan Fei was not reluctant, but took out her mobile phone, dialed a call, asked where the other party was, and after hanging up the phone, she said to Shen Xin, "You wait a while." ”

Shen Xin looked at Yan Fei suspiciously, not knowing why, but soon, he heard heavy footsteps in the corridor.

What's going on?

Shen Xin hurriedly walked to the door, but saw eight young people carrying a stack of books each and ascending to the fifth floor.

"It's all your favorite stuff." Yan Fei turned her head and said.

Yes?

Shen Xin was a little puzzled, and couldn't figure out what kind of books he liked.

Soon, after the eight people entered the house, they put the books on the floor, and Shen Xin almost cursed when he saw the books on the ground.

Among the eight stacks of books, there is a stack of "Pink Circles", and a stack of sketches of the human body.

What do you like about these things?

Shen Xin is at a loss now, and he doesn't watch these things because he likes them.

Feeling Shen Xin's "unfriendly" gaze, Yan Fei turned her head away silently.

In addition to "Pink Circle" and sketches of the human body, there are also some books related to comics, including how to use the dots, how to draw backgrounds, and even romance novels, as well as books on writing screenplays.

In order to ensure that Shen Xin can create comics smoothly, Yan Fei also made a bloody investment.

But the problem is, he doesn't necessarily have time to read it all.

Yan Fei instructed the porter to move the desk out of the study and put it by the window, and at the same time, Shen Xin also stuffed the books into the bookshelf in the study.

At the end of the first day's carrying work, Shen Xin moved his shoulders, a little sore. However, the results are not bad, his studio has been transformed into a small living room and a small study, he has a place to entertain guests, and the place where he works has also been moved to the living room, with a much wider view.

On the occasion of parting, Yan Fei assured Shen Xin that she would definitely find a suitable assistant for Shen Xin as soon as possible.

said that it was very fast, but in fact, Shen Xin also knew that it would not be easy to find it within a week. Prior to this, the drawing of color pages fell on him, and the work of copying drafts and drawing lines was carried out in an orderly manner.

The first 25 pages are color manuscripts, so when Shen Xin draws, whether it is manuscript paper or ink, he needs to buy a special one.

Ordinary ink fades when it encounters water, so when drawing color drafts, it is necessary to choose water-resistant ink, and in order to go well with it, manga artists also choose original paper for the cover.

It took three or four days for Shen Xin to draw the line draft of the first episode, and various schools also opened during this time.

Xi Muhan officially became a high school student, Shen Xin decided to take out a student loan after thinking twice - "Y's" has not yet started serialization, there is no manuscript fee, and the consumables of comics are also a lot of expenses, considering these factors, Shen Xin can only delay the tuition fee for a period of time, and then pay the tuition fee when the manuscript fee comes down.

Shen Xin just went to school on the first day of school, and by the way, he went to a second-hand bookstore to buy textbooks for the second grade.

After that, he never went to school again, but stayed in the studio, drawing color drawings with all his might.

"Knock Knock ......"

"Please come in." Shen Xin, who was painting at the desk, heard someone knocking on the door and said casually.

The door was opened, and after Yan Fei pushed the door in, she saw Shen Xin who had just raised her head, so she waved her hand to say hello.

"Sister Yan, please come in." Shen Xin also stood up from his seat.

"You two come in too, right?" Yan Fei beckoned slightly to the two people behind him, and Shen Xin's gaze also moved to Yan Fei's back.

These two people are relatively young, they should be in their twenties and thirties.

The boy has long hair, deep-sunken eyes, fair skin, and stubble on his lips and chin. His height is only about 1.7 meters, which is a little shorter than Shen Xin.

The girls have ponytails and freckles on their cheeks, and they look quiet and look older than the boys.

Yan Fei pointed to the long-haired boy and said: "His name is Qiao Yu, he is a student of Yunhai Comics College, he just graduated this year, he originally wanted to engage in the comics industry, but now he wants to be an assistant for a while and accumulate experience." ”

"Oh, hello, my name is Shen Xin." Shen Xin shook hands with Qiao Yu.

Due to the development of the comic industry, some institutions will hire some teachers to teach comic skills and comic knowledge that comic lovers have thought of, but due to the different resources of the school, the level of teachers they can find is also high and low. Moreover, these schools do not teach students how to write scripts.

Therefore, many of the students who graduated from these comic schools are semi-finished products, and in terms of basic skills, such as sketching and sketching, they are not as good as professional students like Shen Xin.

"The teacher is so young." Qiao Yu said softly.

"I'm still a student." Shen Xin hurriedly explained.

When the girl heard that Shen Xin was a student, she couldn't help but look at Shen Xin twice, "Are you a student?" At such a young age, it turns out that he is already a serialized cartoonist. ”
