Chapter 450: Dreams and Painted Cakes
This TV show, like a shot in the arm, has made many people who have given up or are about to give up comics re-examine their future.
Even, some unambitious cartoonists also agreed with Tong Yu's words - the reason why they failed to get up was not their fault, but their ability to be constrained by the editor.
"I also don't think I'm worse than those famous cartoonists, why do they have to face a cut in half every week?"
"I asked several of my friends to comment on the difference between me and a famous manga, and my friends all said that mine was better-looking, so the quality of those editors was ...... Hehe. ”
"I'm in the same situation, why can't I even publish it, even though mine is better-looking? It's not fair. ”
"My illustrations are not better than Shen Zheng's? Why was he able to get the character design of "God Descent"? And "Steel Steel", something that can't be understood at all, can even be a big hit? ”
The topic of "Huai Cai is not met" instantly exploded in the comic industry, and many people agreed with what Tong Yu said on TV - it is not that he has no strength, but that he does not appreciate his "Bole".
Shen Xin didn't care about this video at first, and he didn't have time to take care of these trivial matters, but at the dinner table, Hang Jian suddenly talked about it, and Shen Xin knew that Tong Yu was on TV.
"I have to say that Tong Yu's words did hit the pain points of many people, as far as I know, many people are ready to wait and see if there is a chance to realize their dreams." Hang Jian said.
"My classmates too, they also expressed their opinions in the graduating class group, and they said they were very optimistic about the site. By the way, our teachers also strongly supported our past. Liu Rui took the chopsticks and put the beef on the rice, and her spirit shone.
Shen Xin's eyes glanced at Gao Hang, but he saw him bowing his head to eat and was silent.
"What do you think?"
"Huh?" Gao Hang was stunned for a moment, raised his head, stuffed his mouth with rice, and swallowed it hard before he spoke, "It has nothing to do with me." I watched it as entertainment. ”
"What?"
Gao Hang's words surprised the two of them a little.
"I think it's good now, work hard, make good money, there's no need to change." Gao Hang replied seriously.
"However, this is also an opportunity for many people to pursue their dreams, right?" Liu Rui was puzzled.
"They chase their dreams, I earn my money, and it's not a conflict. Besides, are those people really chasing dreams? Gao Hang asked rhetorically.
"Huh?" Liu Rui looked at Gao Hang with a puzzled expression.
"There are people who give everything for their dreams and end up with nothing, and these people deserve respect. But more of the people I meet use dreams as excuses. I should be a little older than you, I didn't go to comics school, I only have some art foundation, all my skills, are to learn from the comic teacher, and practice in private. I knew I didn't have what it took to be a manga artist, but it was my dream to create beautiful manga with a manga artist.
"I've worked with some cartoonists, and a lot of them just seem to be working hard. But those cartoonists who became famous, they put in more effort than those who complained.
"Everyone else has seen that famous cartoonists are very powerful, and magazines are struggling to break their heads for top cartoonists, but aren't the pillar authors of those major magazines also coming from newcomers? They didn't get the attention of the magazine at first, and their readers also accumulated one by one. So, there's nothing unfair. ”
Shen Xin looked at Gao Hang in surprise, he didn't expect this little fat man to see it so thoroughly.
However, it is not difficult to understand that the little fat man has gone from being an assistant with not very solid basic skills at the beginning to being in charge of his own business, and he has really paid a lot of sweat behind him, and he will definitely have his own feelings.
"Teacher, what do you think about this?" Hang Jian asked Shen Xin.
"I ......"
As soon as Shen Xin wanted to speak, he heard a voice from outside.
"People who only talk about feelings and don't talk about money are bastards, so don't get your hopes up." Su Han strode into the restaurant, followed by Xi Muhan, who was weak but in good spirits.
"Written?"
"Well, send it to Sister Yan and ask her to translate it for us." Xi Muhan smiled reluctantly, "Brother Xin, what are you discussing?" ”
"You don't know?" Liu Rui was a little surprised.
Xi Muhan shook his head.
"Don't embarrass Xiaohan. In this creation, Xiaohan is the main force, and I am only responsible for adjusting the plot and enhancing the control of the rhythm. She didn't have time to think about it. After Su Han sat down, he took a bowl of rice and side dishes brought by his aunt, "You haven't stepped into society, you don't know the cruelty of this piece at all...... Forget it, I won't talk about it. After all, you see contracts less often. ”
The cheeks of the three people were slightly red, although they worked here for Shen Xin, there was still a difference between assistants and regular workers.
Cartoonists don't know when their work will be cut in half, so it's impossible to give an assistant a decent contract - in the end, the job of a cartoonist is too accidental, and if you don't know when, you will have no financial resources.
"So, only stupid white sweets like you will have illusions about that show. What dreams, youth, resonance...... Having said all that, did you mention the treatment? Not to mention much, can they guarantee that at least 2,000 yuan per month will be given to each cartoonist? If they can't do that, what do those low-level cartoonists use to insist on creating? Dream? I say a word that hits you, can dreams be eaten? ”
Liu Rui recalled that in the show, what Tong Yu said did not seem to have much content related to treatment.
"So, the words of that show are fake, big, and empty, and the deception is that stupid people like you who don't want anything, as long as you mention dreams and feelings, you stupidly rush over, but don't consider the most critical income. There are not so many philanthropists in the world, and if you want to make money, you ultimately depend on your own ability. Besides, comics are not like other industries, to create a long beginning, it takes three months at the earliest, during this time, what to eat? What to drink? ”
Su Han's words were very poisonous, like a basin of cold water, poured on everyone's heads, and also calmed them down.
Although Liu Rui has less contact with the outside world, she is not a fool, let alone a tendon, and when she heard Su Han's words, she already sensed that something was wrong.
Hang Jian has also been out there and is now sober. As for Gao Hang, he never thought about going over the net.
As he said, Tong Yushang's show has a more entertainment effect, but that's all.
"Alright, let's continue eating, shall we?" Shen Xin felt that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and Xi Muhan was even more like a kitten, only bowing his head to eat, and then he also said his opinion, "If a person can't realize his dream because of his lack of strength, then it is impossible for this person to get up because he has changed the platform." If someone can really make a splash, there must be sweat behind him. ”
"At least so far, manga magazines aren't hell, manga sites aren't heaven, and no one knows for sure what will happen in the future. The emergence of comic websites is a good thing for the comic industry, but it is not necessarily a good thing for every cartoonist. ”
"Why?" Liu Rui asked.
"Whenever there is a change in the industry, there will always be a lot of guinea pigs." Shen Xin said softly.
Several people looked at each other, and Shen Xin's words seemed to be right.
