Chapter 274: My Story with Mr. Wu
"Sure enough, you're here anyway."
Yayoi sighed when she invited them to sit down.
"Listening to Hattori-sensei's tone, did you think that we would come to visit you?" Sasaki asked.
"Of course. When I found out that the storyboard of "Journey to the West" was missing, I understood that this kind of thing would happen. Yayoi smiled and said as a matter of course: "After all, "Journey to the West" is too interesting. No one can resist it. β
Sasaki groaned and nodded approvingly.
I've been an editor for so long, and I've read more than 100 interesting comics. Among them, there are many classics such as "CRO" and "Chess Soul". However, none of them can compare to "Journey to the West".
Even if he only reads one opening, he dares to pack a ticket, this is a comic that can become a god!
Whether it's the plot or the idea, you can throw off other comics a few streets!
So even if he left Weekly Shonen Jump, he would come over and persuade Yayoi in a hurry. After all, such a masterpiece really doesn't want it to disappear.
The bottle couldn't hold his breath and hurriedly asked, "Since you know everything, teacher, why don't you serialize it?" β
"Because...... Because of this story...... I didn't come up with it. Yayoi Michi.
"Ahh
Sasaki and Bottle were all shocked, they never had this thought.
In that case, it's going to be troublesome!
"So who is the author of "Journey to the West"? Is it possible to invite a master to deign to draw a caricature? β
One writes storyboards and thinks about the plot, and the other draws comics.
It's like Yacheng Mumeba.
They think a lot, but unfortunately they think too beautifully.
Yayoi bowed her head in contemplation and said slowly, "That was a long time ago. β
β¦β¦
When I was six years old, I met an old gentleman.
He wears round-rimmed glasses, wears a tunic suit, and is very kind, just speaking a fucking neon language.
It was he who asked me for directions, and now he has forgotten where he is going.
I showed him the way, but accidentally the cone in my hand fell to the ground. I cried on the spot. Now that I think about it, it's really hard for that old gentleman.
He fumbled for a long time and took out two steel jumps from his pocket. I bought two cones, sat with me on a chair in the park, and told the story of "Journey to the West" in a soft voice.
The Birth of the Monkey King
"Monkey King Havoc in the Heavenly Palace"
"Daughter Country"
Something like that.
The story is interesting, and to this day, I still remember it.
It's just that the old gentleman surnamed Wu has never seen him again.
β¦β¦
"I was so touched by the wonderful story that I thought about drawing a manga for everyone to see. This was also my comic enlightenment. Yayoi said reminiscingly.
Sasaki and the bottle looked at each other, and they were extremely embarrassed.
"Hehe, we should also be grateful to that old gentleman, otherwise there would be no Hattori-sensei. It's just that...... You really don't have any other information about the old gentleman? β
Sasaki was unwilling and asked tentatively.
Yayoi touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "In this way, the tone of that old gentleman's speech is very similar to the voice of Ai-chan, a famous table tennis player in our country!" β
"Do you love sauce?"
Sasaki looked at the bottle, and the two of them analyzed:
"Ai-chan has been learning table tennis in Huaxia since she was a child, and the neon words are really weird."
Although most of the protagonist team of "Infinite Terror" are Chinese, and Mr. Hattori also likes Chinese culture, it is impossible for him to draw a classic like "Journey to the West" at his age. It's all about us getting carried away by the surprise and not thinking it through. β
"That old gentleman surnamed Wu should be from Huaxia! By chance, I told Mr. Hattori about "Journey to the West". β
Yayoi smiled and watched Sasaki and the bottle complete the matter, feeling more and more satisfied.
What people believe most deeply is the conclusions they come to for themselves. You just need to guide their thinking.
As for whether Wu Chengen is from the Northeast, Yayoi doesn't know (β―_β°).
The more they talked, the more ugly the faces of the two became.
Regardless of whether Mr. Wu is still alive more than ten years later.
Just because he is a Chinese, there is no possibility of cooperation. Finding a Chinese person who came to Neon many years ago is not much worse than looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Hattori-sensei, can you lend me a computer?" Bottle Road.
"Of course there is no problem."
After a while, the bottle returned to the sofa and shook his head at Sasaki, meaning that "Journey to the West" could not be found on the Internet. In other words, the story is not published in a book.
Therefore, "Journey to the West" should have been written by Mr. Wu himself, and there was no book.
"Well, there's no way around it."
Sasaki's two editors finally gave up.
Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, and they can only accept it with regret.
β¦β¦
Seeing that things were finally settled, Yayoi was relieved.
"Journey to the West" he didn't plan to serialize, but he drew it with an itch and was discovered by Yoshida.
That's why there was such a play.
Yayoi is a layman. It's just a matter of plagiarizing entertainment books like "Infinite Terror", and he can also use the excuse of a porter to comfort and convince himself.
Anyway, it won't cause damage to others, which not only satisfies the mood of wanting to draw comics, but also allows readers to enjoy interesting stories, the best of both worlds, isn't it beautiful.
But if it was a masterpiece like "Journey to the West", he wouldn't dare.
"Journey to the West" is no longer so simple, its culture is integrated into Chinese culture, and it is the pride of Chinese people. In the heart of every Chinese person, there is a hero, and he is Sun Wukong!
When Yayoi was a child, he often wore the mask of the Monkey King and displayed himself on the streets. Holding a wooden stick in his hand, he fantasizes that he has the demeanor of the Monkey King.
Putting the important treasures of China on the neon head, Yayoi has a hard conscience.
Of course, if he crossed the Chinese people, it would be a different matter.
"Gotta look good!" Yayoi thought to herself.
Let yourself go around in such a big circle, tell a lie, work hard, and get revenge back!
β¦β¦
"I'm back."
Natsume pushed open the door, and after taking off his shoes in the entrance, he looked at the two people curiously.
Sasaki and the bottle nodded at him slightly.
"After bothering us for so long, it's time for us to take our leave."
"Wait, my new comics, I want you to take a look."
Yayoi took out a stack of manga drafts and handed them to the two of them.
"This is what I'm going to serialize."
Sasaki took the manga draft and read out the title gently:
βγFATE/ZEROγγβ
I couldn't tell the content from the name alone, so Sasaki calmed down and looked at it carefully.
"Interesting." He nodded, "The setting is interesting, the war of the world-famous heroes is refreshing. Just ......"
It's still worse than "Journey to the West".
After watching "Journey to the West", I was a little less interested.
