Marvel’s I am a cartoonist

“Toot toot…”

The mobile phone on the table rang, and Xu Mo picked it up and looked at it and connected it.

“Trist, I know you’ve been in a bad mood lately, but you can’t keep going like this, your parents’ company still needs you to continue, and now there is no trace of it for a week, and there are already cartoonists in the company who have begun to jump badly.”

It was a strong voice coming from the mobile phone, and the words that split his head and covered his face made Xu Mo smile bitterly.

Trist is Xu Mo’s English name.

“Uncle Andy, I’ll go to the company today, jump bad, jump bad, I have better cartoonists.”

“Better? Forget it, wait for you to talk about it. ”

As the opposite end hung up, Xu Mo exhaled, took out a stack of white paper from the drawer, put away the previous One Piece words first, typed four words in the search bar, and began to draw the scoop according to the gourd.

According to memory, Uncle Andy is a good friend of his father and the current general manager of the company.

Don’t look at the company sounds tall, in fact, it is not big at all, four cartoonists, six comic assistants, plus other employees add up to just fifteen people, which is completely the lineup of the studio.

This is also the general level of today’s comic companies, comic classifications are rare, the fixed heroic theme given by Captain Baimi is not tired of watching, and most cartoonists are afraid of innovation leading to no return and do not want to forge ahead.

Such a situation does not have a super strong or a group of heroes, but has become a pattern of separate camps and not much competitiveness, and it is even too lazy to enter the market when it sees a consortium that does not have much interests.

There are five or six companies like this in New York alone, all of which are completely privately owned, and the employees are paid alone.

However, cartoonists are seeing the wind and rudder, seeing that the company’s rulers are both dead and the future is confused, and they jump directly when they are lost, saving the day of bankruptcy when their value becomes lower before leaving.

In this way, for Xu Mo, who has an artifact, it can be said that it is a good opportunity to show his skills and build his own comic empire.

Not long after, Xu Mo finished painting the four words, put it in his backpack and put it on his body and got up and went out.

New York in 2008 can be said to be the center of the world, the streets are crowded, the traffic is busy, Xu Mo looks up at the harsh daylight, like a world away.

The company is located near Times Square, the most prosperous area of Manhattan, known as the “crossroads of the world”, gathering a large number of businesses and theaters and entertainment venues, it can be said that the location is very good

Xu Mo’s location is still some distance from Times Square, so he took a taxi directly and intercepted a taxi, the driver was black, and completely played with a black sense of humor.

The enthusiastic driver chatted all the way, Xu Mo did not answer a word, and after arriving at the location, he directly took out a banknote and left without waiting for change.

Seeing this, the black brother of Meizi immediately sang loudly, sighing that he was a rich man again.

Two minutes later, Xu Mo arrived at his destination, standing in front of a tall building, and his comic road began.

7th floor of the building

This place was contracted by Tengman Company, but in fact, only part of the space was used, and when I planned to use it all, I didn’t expect that the person in power died in a plane crash, and now all the employees of the company have a strong anxiety and even a big crisis.

A man with loose hair walked into the office and took out a letter to Andy, the dark-haired manager, and said flatly: “Andy, this is my resignation letter.” ”

“Not thinking about staying?”

Andy accepted the resignation letter and kept it.

The man shook his head, wanted to say something but couldn’t say anything and left.

“Oh, this kid.”

Andy knew what this comic assistant wanted to say, but it was not because Xu Mo had not come to the company for a day since the death of his parents and inherited the company, which was irresponsible in the eyes of others.

There is no sense of security, no bundle of interests, and the current Great Recession, and the comic book industry is in a bit of a recession, and companies that can go bankrupt at any time are not ideal places for them.

“Uncle Andy, how is the company doing now?” Xu Mo walked in directly and said to Andy.

“You came, now there are no cartoonists in the company, there are only two comic assistants, only five other employees, and the others are gone.”

Andy said desperately, and he hated Xu Mo with an expression of hatred for iron and steel.

“They’re gone.”

When Andy heard Xu Mo’s indifferent attitude, he was angry and angrily said: “Without cartoonists, the company can’t survive at all.” ”

“I don’t.” Xu Mo slowly picked up the drawing from his backpack and patted it on the table, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly

“I’ll do it alone.”

That’s right, other cartoonists went exactly what he wanted, in Xu Mo’s eyes, their comics are not good at all, maybe the drawing skills are good, but it’s a pity that the story is old-fashioned and has no value.

“You?”

Andy was about to explode in anger, his eyes stared at the boss, he had never heard that Xu Mo had a talent for painting, wasn’t he a college student?

Doubtful, he picked up the drawing, and the first title page was a man with a bald head and a cape, only drawing the back, and there was no indifference that could be faintly revealed on the front, which he could feel.

The drawing skills are not much different from the previous cartoonists, Andy is a little relieved at this time, and there is still hope for the company at this point.

After reading two pages, his brow furrowed.

The beginning is unfolding in the ruins of the city

A huge, strange-looking monster is slaughtered in the city, and ordinary people are directly destroyed under his ball of light.

As soon as the picture turned, Saitama immediately put on a white cloak when he read the report at home, and said dashingly: “Justice is carried out.” ”

The bald and dumb character with high-quality graphics makes the reader a little interested, which is what Andy had in mind.

The opening chapter says that this is a heroic theme, and even if the market still accounts for the vast majority of the theme, it can give readers the feeling that it is already insensitive.

Because most of the content of such a theme is the same, the protagonist accidentally obtains superhuman powers, and then becomes a superhero after several twists and turns to fight criminals in the city, which is nothing new.

A survey last week showed that the heroic genre is cooling down and new content is needed to attract readers.

This kind of unchanged routine, Andy knows what is drawn behind without looking.

Sure enough, Saitama saves the little girl under the depiction of the wind, and the weirdos and Saitama begin to fight blindly.

This passage seems to Andy to be very… It’s very weird.

For example, this monster is called the vaccine man, which is a weird person born from the pollution and destruction of the earth’s environment, which is somewhat similar to radiation mutation.

And this hero named Saitama is even more absurd, and he actually said that he is a hero of interest.

Ask for flowers! Collect it!
