Reborn great writer

Chapter 125 Murder on the Orient Express!

Bad start!And what is this?There are many cartoonists who worked as assistants to other cartoonists before they became famous. Well, this is not something to be ashamed of.

Takei Hiroyuki, the author of "Shaman King", worked as an assistant for Nobuhiro Tsuki, the author of "Rurouni Kenshin"; Eiichiro Oda, the author of "One Piece", also worked as an assistant for Nobuhiro Tsuki Takeshi Obata was an assistant in "[***]", and Takeshi Obata was an assistant to Makoto Niwano, the author of "Mashima Hot Prodigal Son", and so on. Learn from the experience of famous cartoonists.Of course, Su Shichen is also a newcomer in the comics industry, but Feiyu's attitude is too outrageous.

"A person must have an accurate positioning of himself, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve success." Is Wang Ni's words comforting him?

It should be considered that Wang Ni's words meant that the author Feiyu just now had a problem with her positioning, and such a person is not worth being angry with.

"Huh, it's okay, there are still two chances anyway." Wang Ni drove to the homes of the remaining two authors. The Guiman Society is not well-known after leaving Yangcheng. Since it will be submitted to the Guiman Society This proves that the address is near Yangcheng, and it is indeed the case. The addresses of the three authors selected by Su Shichen are all in Yangcheng.

When Su Shichen was busy looking for a comic assistant, there was a commotion outside again. The cause of the incident was that Zhang Ze, a domestic cartoonist, got angry when he was promoted by "Peak Newspaper", that is, This sentence "China's best inspirational and passionate comic "Slam Dunk"."

Zhang Ze is considered a great power in the domestic comics industry. His status is equivalent to that of Su Shichen in the novel world, and even higher. There are two main types of his comics. Junior athletics.

When he was interviewed by a media outlet, he broke out such words——

"It really deceives us that there is no one in the Chinese comics industry. Although our Chinese comics industry is not as good as the island countries or the United States, we are still full of talents. A newcomer who has only taken less than ten professional courses can draw comics. It is said to be the best inspirational and passionate manga in China? And it also sprinkles salt on the wounds of basketball fans. I have nothing to say about this kind of people who do not achieve their goals in order to make money. In addition, in order to appease the wounded hearts of basketball fans, I have I am conceiving a passionate cartoon about football, and let the attention of basketball fans shift from basketball to football, this is what a cartoonist with a real conscience should do."

The battle between football comics and basketball comics kicked off!It is conceivable that the media will take this opportunity to riot again, but Su Shichen doesn't know these things yet. He has already rushed to another author's house. He lives on the seventh floor and there is no elevator. It is rare enough to climb the stairs.

Knock!

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" The person who opened the door this time was more gentle, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, with a bookish air, and looked a bit like a teacher in terms of temperament.

"Excuse me, are you the author of "Sapphire" Yuexia Gucheng?"

"Yes, I am the ancient city under the moon, please come in and sit down, both of you first." Bookish, but also very polite.

Invited Wang Ni and him to the house, and served tea.

"Are you two from Guiman Club? My work has only been submitted to Guiman Club, so my manuscript has passed the review?"

"I'm sorry, I couldn't bring you good news." Su Shichen handed the manuscript back to Yuexia Ancient City.

"It's okay to be rejected. Anyway, I know my own work very well, and it's expected to be rejected." Yuexia Ancient City didn't feel angry at all, and even apologized to Su Shichen and Wang Ni, Thank you two for sending his manuscript back to him. Compared with Feiyu, the ancient city under the moon can definitely be regarded as a saint.

"Actually, I came this time to ask if you plan to become a manga assistant?"

"Manga assistant!" Yuexia Gucheng shook his head, "My job is to teach painting as a university teacher, and drawing manga is just a hobby in my spare time. I have also known about the industry of manga assistants. I am busy. I don't have time. Feel sorry."

"It's okay, excuse me." No wonder the painter is so good, it turned out to be a college painting teacher, it's a ghost if the painter is not good.

Saying goodbye to the ancient city under the moon, standing in front of the building and letting out a big sigh, is this considered a fleeting disadvantage?

The first cartoonist is not interested in being Su Shichen's assistant because of his pride and arrogance, while the second cartoonist has a good position for himself, but because of his work, he has no time to be a comic assistant at all. There is one last left.

Chen Xin is also Su Shichen's most promising person. Because of the similarity of the writing skills, she rushed to the residence of the last author, Chen Xin. Is this a civilian area?

Anyway, it's quite dirty and messy. This Chen Xin's real name is Zhang Chen. This kind of low-rise buildings are densely packed together, and there are narrow passages everywhere. You can't drive in. You have to get out of the car and walk. They didn't have an accurate house number either, so they found Zhang Chen's residence after several inquiries.

The door of the room was open, but he was embarrassed to go in directly. He knocked on the door and shouted loudly, "Is anyone at home?"

A male voice came from the room, "If you have anything to do, just come in and talk."

Wang Ni stood at the door and shook her head to indicate that she would not go in. Su Shichen walked into this very messy house alone. A young man with very long hair covering his eyes was drawing a manuscript. In fact, Su Shichen was very I want to say that the hair is so long, can you still see it?

Seeing him skillfully using various tools, this person should be Chen Xin Zhang Chen.

"Who are you? Could it be that one of my comics was rejected again?" Zhang Chen's gaze stayed on the manuscript in Su Shichen's hand.

Another book, why does this sound so awkward?

Su Shichen asked involuntarily: "According to what you mean, did you submit many works at the same time?"

"Of course," Zhang Chen said proudly, "According to my speed, publishing three times a week is also very simple. Of course, this is not the highest speed. The highest speed can guarantee four works to be serialized weekly at the same time."

Hearing what Zhang Chen said, two great gods immediately appeared in Su Shichen's mind, one was Araki Hirohiko, who claimed to be a super speed god who could publish n magazines a week, and the other was the manga god Osamu Tezuka A strongman at 50 pages a day.

Su Shichen's interest immediately became high, "Then how many comics have you published?"

This question immediately made the proud Zhang Chen speechless, and sighed, "People in the publishing house said that my comics have problems with the plot setting, and I think they don't understand my great ambitions at all. Wanting to set a manga with a grand background, I have drawn the beginnings of dozens of anime, but they all failed, and it seems that I have to start from the beginning again." Zhang Chen drooped his head and looked listless.

Zhang Chen's behavior reminded Su Shichen of himself in his previous life. He also wrote one or two novels. Once the [-] words could not be signed, he would cut it off and start a new book.

"I'm going to draw a manga recently, but I don't have enough time alone. How about you come and be my assistant?" After speaking, Su Shichen stared at Zhang Chen closely. He didn't want to be rejected again. He had already failed twice. , this is the last chance.

But Zhang Chen didn't immediately agree or refuse, but asked, "How much salary can you pay me as your assistant for one month?"

"Can you do coloring, background, and line drawing?"

"Of course I will. I used to draw cartoons all by myself."

"It will be applicable for one month first. During the trial period, I will give you 500 yuan a month, and after one month, I will give you [-] yuan a month."

Hearing that you can earn 6000 yuan a month, Zhang Chen's eyes immediately lit up, but then he showed a look of doubt, "Can you get 6000 yuan a month?"

"If you know who I am, you won't doubt whether I can afford 6000 yuan a month."

"Who are you, aren't you just a student?" Zhang Chen looked Su Shichen up and down with a look of suspicion.

"I'm an author, and I've written several books that have sold more than 100 million copies, and the best-selling "Prehistoric" has already broken 300 million copies. Do you think I can afford 6000 yuan a month?"

When Zhang Chen heard the name "Prehistoric", his eyes immediately stared straight, as if he had seen a ghost, "You can't be Su Shichen, the smartest genius boy in the legend!"

Su Shichen touched his nose, when did he become a legend!Only death is a legend, and now he hasn't lived enough and doesn't want to die.

"Okay, I'll do it." Zhang Chen, known as the most prolific cartoonist in later generations, became Su Shichen's assistant in this way.

"Master Su, your novels are so well written, why do you want to draw manga all of a sudden?"

"Master Su, why did you choose basketball? Don't you know that basketball is a taboo subject now?"

……

Zhang Chen asked one question after another, as if there were a hundred thousand whys.

Su Shichen’s newly bought house has three bedrooms and one living room. His father used one room, and he just vacated a room for Zhang Chen to use. Food and lodging are included, and three thousand and five for the first month. Chen was overjoyed.

And Zhang Chen also gave Su Shichen a surprise. Apart from his poor storytelling ability, Zhang Chen's other basic skills and other skills are very perfect.

"Master Su, why does the main character look like a clown? Isn't it bad to be serious? Will this make readers not want to read it?" What Zhang Chen was talking about was the protagonist Huadao in the comic.

"There is no perfect person in this world. To make comics more real, the protagonist must have shortcomings. Of course, this shortcoming must be grasped. The shortcoming should not outweigh the good."

It is true that most of the protagonists in island country comics are nervous and silly, but they are very persistent about a certain thing. Simply put, they are young and passionate.

Naruto in Hokage is like this, Ichigo in Shinigami is like this, and the flower arrangement in the slam dunk he is drawing now is even more like this.

"Why is the first stop at the beginning a failure? Don't readers feel disappointed if it fails at the beginning?"

"In the world of competition, there are winners and losers. If you are invincible, what are readers going to watch? And if you lose this time, readers will only look forward to winning again next time."

At the beginning, Zhang Chen was skeptical that Su Shichen, a novelist, wanted to draw manga. He thought Su Shichen’s behavior was just for fun, and he secretly thought that it is good to be famous, no matter how good the manga is. It could be published, but later, as "Slam Dunk" came out one by one, he himself fell in love with this comic first.

Then Zhang Chen had to admit that his concept was wrong, and at the same time realized his own shortcomings.

In the past, he seemed to want to add all the advantages when drawing the protagonist of comics, but in fact, such a perfect protagonist is really good?

Zhang Chen has learned a lot from the comics, and his attitude towards Su Shichen is gradually changing, from jealousy at the beginning to respect now, he always asks questions, even though Su Shichen is older than him Much smaller, but Zhang Chen already regards Su Shichen as a teacher.

Su Shichen was catching up on comics behind closed doors, and on the "Peak Newspaper", the novel section had already appeared, and Su Shichen's new mystery novel "Murder on the Orient Express" was also published on it.

There is not too much introduction on the novel section of "Peak Newspaper", there is only one line of characters——

[Su Shichen's new work "Murder on the Orient Express"! 】(To be continued.)
