Chapter 114: New Assistant
"Huh?"
Xiaoli subconsciously shouted.
When Shen Xin heard Zhou Yang's words, he also stopped and looked at Zhou Yang in surprise.
Something similar, he had only heard of Nobuhiro Kazuki (the author of "Rogue Kenshin") who took the initiative to be Ken Ohata's assistant after seeing Ken Kohata's manga.
Does this kid want to emulate Nobuhiro Kazuki?
"Hey, Mr. Zhou, do you know what you're talking about?" Xiaoli is about to cry, a good rookie author, how can you say that it is gone?
Yan Fei was also a little dumbfounded, she had been an editor for a while, and it was the first time she had encountered this situation, and her brain couldn't react.
Lu Ning was listening to the CD and didn't know what was going on, but Gao Hang's mouth was slightly open, and his throat seemed to be stuck with something, and he couldn't make a sound.
"I know what I'm talking about." Zhou Yang raised his head, his cheeks crimson, "I originally thought that "Ghost Potential" was the comic I wanted to draw. But after reading Mr. Shen's name, I realized that I still had a long way to go. My name is missing some sense compared to Teacher Shen, and I want to study here for a while. ”
Xiaoli turned her head to look at Shen Xin, a newcomer who was pinned on by the magazine suddenly wanted to be his assistant, and the editor-in-chief would probably go crazy if he knew about it.
Noticing Xiaoli's extremely unfriendly gaze, Shen Xin was speechless. He has only been a professional cartoonist for more than half a year, how did he know that this kind of thing would happen?
For a while, the air in the studio seemed to freeze, and everyone didn't know how to convince the other.
In the end, it was Yan Fei who stood up and broke the silence.
"Xiaoli can't be the master of this matter. It is necessary to consult with the president and editor-in-chief. Next week, you can go to the magazine and talk to the president to see what he has to say. ”
Zhou Yang thought for a moment, "It's okay, then wait until next week." ”
Xiaoli didn't dare to let Zhou Yang stay in Shen Xin's studio anymore, lest Zhou Yang have any more moths, and after saying goodbye to Shen Xin, she left with Zhou Yang in a hurry.
Gao Hang was a little happy, having an assistant meant that his pressure would be reduced a lot, squinted his eyes, and continued to read the information of the voice actor.
Shen Xin returned to his seat, picked up the text of the first four episodes of the radio drama, and read it roughly.
The flow of the story is almost the same as the comics, but in the first four episodes, an additional clue of the autumn leaves season has been added, so that the appearance of the autumn leaves season in the later years has become very natural.
Manga omits a lot of content due to space limitations, and radio dramas are indeed an excellent complement to Y's.
"Teacher Shen, what do you think?" Yan Fei asked.
"Not bad...... I just don't like it a little. Shen Xin frowned.
"Where?" Yan Fei read the script in advance and didn't feel anything wrong.
"The dialogue of the characters is very homely, which should have something to do with the fact that he is a light novelist. You can help me ask him if his current readers like this style of dialogue. If yes, then go ahead and write like this. I'm fine. ”
Shen Xin has always adhered to the idea that he will never interfere in things that can be handed over to experts.
Of course, as a former online author, he can also write the text of radio dramas, but since someone is willing to take over, and the quality is not bad, why does he have to do this to artificially increase the difficulty of creation?
After Yan Fei noted Shen Xin's question, she shifted her attention to Lu Ning and Gao Hang.
After about ten more minutes, Gao Hang finally read the materials, all the character designs, together, nearly twenty copies, almost all of them are first-line voice actors, and he picked out 12 materials according to the fame of these voice actors.
Subsequently, Lu Ning handed over the selected audio to Shen Xin.
Combined with popularity and timbre, Shen Xin quickly picked out five voice actors.
Iori's voice acting is undoubtedly the female lead voice actor of "The Legend of the Dragon King", while Yi Gui's voice actor is said to be the male protagonist of "Hunting Abyss".
The main reason why Shen Xin chose him is because he is very popular among girls, and he may be able to bring some female readers to "Y's".
Yan Fei put away the list and said goodbye to Shen Xin.
Gao Hang kept a heartfelt smile on his face after learning about the list of voice actors chosen by Shen Xin, which made Shen Xin see another side of Gao Hang - the house.
But Shen Xin also knows that radio dramas only play a role in publicity, which can make more people contact "Y's", however, whether "Y's" can break into the top ten sales list in one fell swoop with the traffic brought by radio dramas ultimately depends on the quality of comics.
As for Zhou Yang's desire to come over as an assistant, Shen Xin thinks it is unlikely, after all, Zhou Yang is a newcomer that the magazine is more interested in this year, and the president is unlikely to let him serve as an assistant to other cartoonists.
But Shen Xin also knows that serving as an assistant is one of the shortcuts for newcomers to learn. There are really very few cartoonists like him who have not served as assistants to others and have achieved certain results.
But in the end, the final decision is still in the hands of the magazine.
On Tuesday, Xiaoli took Zhou Yang to visit Shen Xin's studio again.
"Congratulations, Mr. Shen, you have another assistant." Xiaoli strained her face and looked slightly depressed.
"Huh? What's going on? Shen Xin looked at Xiaoli with a surprised expression, while Zhou Yang's face was a little excited, "Is the editor-in-chief really willing?" ”
Of course, the editor-in-chief is reluctant, but he also knows that letting you take him for a while will be of great benefit to his growth. Song Ren didn't agree and insisted on asking Zhou Yang to serialize. For this reason, the editor-in-chief also quarreled with him, and the two sides insisted on their own views and refused to give in to each other. ”
"The editor-in-chief is so bloody?" Shen Xin recalled the chubby appearance of the editor-in-chief, and he really didn't see it much a few days ago.
It is estimated that he doesn't like Song Ren parachuting into the editorial department and pointing fingers at him. The two sides argued until late at night, and finally, the president who went to Hongchuan to discuss the matter called and agreed to Zhou Yang as your assistant. However, there is also a condition. ”
"On what terms?"
"He can't be a professional assistant, he can come up four days a week. And starting next month, I will submit a short comic every month to be published in New World. ”
"This ...... Is he under too much pressure? Shen Xin looked at Zhou Yang, a little worried.
"Nothing." Zhou Yang shook his head again and again, "I've already thought about it, before serializing, draw a few short stories related to "Ghost Potential", and at the same time modify the name of "Ghost Potential". Teacher, when "Ghost Potential" starts to be serialized, you may be qualified to compete with "Y's". ”
Zhou Yang was a little uneasy, and secretly glanced at Shen Xin with his eyes.
"That'...... Let's do it together. ”
Good competition is not a bad thing for creators.
Shen Xin has always thought so, for example, now, he doesn't want to lose to Ye Hexu, nor does he want to lose to Su Han and Jump. Therefore, he had to do the best in every detail of Y's and surpass them in terms of the quality of the comics.
In this process, Shen Xin must have higher requirements for himself, and at the same time, storyboarding, composition, and painting work...... In many ways, with the drawing of page after page of the original manuscript, there has been a great improvement.
Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, but saw that Shen Xin's face was not displeased, but there was a sense of joy, so he nodded deeply.
