Gotta Go the Healing Route

Aster Uemura has now basically been marked as the exclusive editor of Yu Kazama.

Unless there are special circumstances, editorial work generally needs to be rotated.

The rotation usually starts when the cartoonist's old work ends and the new work begins.

As I said before, editors are very important to authors, not only in terms of experience, but also because editors represent Shueisha and control the resources of the editorial department. Gold medal editors must have more resources and help authors more. big.

In contrast, the meaning of the author to the editor is also very important.After all, the editor's performance is closely related to the author's performance.

For those qualified authors, editors are also very greedy.

The first work like Kazama Xi was a blockbuster. In the eyes of the editors of Shueisha, the genius author who became popular in an instant was like a peerless beauty in the eyes of men, and he wished to take it under his own hands immediately.

During the rotation, many gold medal editors fought openly and secretly for Feng Jianxi.

As for Uemura Aster's own opinion... Leaving aside the rotation system itself, in the eyes of that kind of senior editor, a junior like Uemura Aster who has just entered the industry is not qualified to compete with them.

However, editorial rotation also asks the author's own opinion.The authors here refer to those veteran cartoonists at the master level, or newcomer cartoonists who have shown amazing potential.For ordinary manga artists, Shueisha doesn't take the author's wishes into consideration when changing editors.

At that time, Kitaoka Akira asked Kazama Xi for his opinion, but of course Kazama Xi immediately refused.

During the dead pen period, he and Aster Uemura partnered very well. Aster Uemura gave him a wide range of creative space. Xi Kazama didn't want to be a so-called senior gold medal editor to judge him.

Afterwards, knowing that Kazama Yuki's new work was about to draw the theme of magical girls that had already declined, in the eyes of veteran editors, this was a field that was destined to hit the street, and the matter of rotation was over.

Up to now, Kazama Xi has proved with her achievements that sometimes talent can really surpass the subject matter.At this time, the matter of rotating editors was brought up again in Shueisha.

Although shrouded in the wind and evening, Uemura Ziwan inevitably felt a little worried and anxious.

"Kazama-kun will still need you to take charge of it..."

Now editor-in-chief Atsuya Itakura's words are undoubtedly an official decision.She and Feng Jianxi will not be taken apart.

Hearing Atsuya Itakura's words, Aster Uemura felt relieved as if she had taken a reassurance.

Although the thigh I hang belongs to a reincarnated great demon king, but even if he is a demon king, this is still a real thigh...

Not to mention that Kazama Xi, the golden egg, was dug out by herself from among the many submissions for the Newcomer Awards back then.

Moreover, in her eyes, Kazama Xi, apart from some minor problems in creative thinking, which always made her feel terrified and shivering, in other respects, she really showed a very caring brother.

That's right.Daxiong Longyi regards Wu Shanyun as his own daughter, while Uemura Ziwan regards Kazama Xi as a good younger brother.

When she was working in the editorial department, she often saw the big bear Long Yi at the next table getting enraged by her stubborn and rebellious girl, and binge taking antihypertensive drugs.

Whenever this time, she can't help but compare herself with Big Bear Longyi, feeling that her own is sensible.

The kid next door... doesn't exist.

Xi Jun of his own family is the child of the neighbor in the eyes of others.

hum...

"In short, Uemura, work hard next year, you have great hope of being nominated as a gold medal editor next year." When Uemura Ziwan was wandering in the sky, Itakura Atsuya encouraged again.

When Aster Uemura first joined Shueisha, she went through the back door. Atsushi Itakura, who was the deputy editor at the time, was naturally clear about whose back door she went through.At that time, he couldn't help paying more attention to Aster Uemura.

Now it seems that Aster Uemura is doing pretty well.

Moreover, Atsushi Itakura also saw her relationship with Kazama Xi, and she was indeed much closer than ordinary authors and editors.

Feng Jianxi is now a big tree with branches and leaves scattered. Naturally, dealing with an author of this level cannot rely solely on a contract.Sometimes favors are more important.

Since Kazama Yuki and Uemura Ziwan have cooperated very well, there is no need to take turns to dismantle them.

"Thank you for the support of the editor-in-chief." Uemura Ziwan said respectfully after recovering.

Itakura Atsushi also nodded in satisfaction, and said:

"The celebration ceremony for the completion of the work, you and Kazama-kun haven't done it yet."

"No."

"Well, I'll be the host tonight. I know a good Chinese restaurant. Let's call Kazama-kun to celebrate there at night." Itakura Atsushi said with a smile.

"By the way, call Mr. Kitaoka, and you can contact Mr. Kitaoka."

Itakura Atsushi also paused, because he found that when he said to go to a Chinese restaurant to celebrate, Uemura Ziwan's face suddenly turned pale.

"What's the matter, is there any discomfort?" Atsushi Itakura asked quickly.

"No, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."

The Chinese restaurant mentioned by Atsuya Itakura seems to have revealed a memory deeply hidden in Aster Uemura's mind.

A few days ago, she foolishly went out to eat with Kazama Xi.What was supposed to be a good memory turned into a nightmare a few days later.

Thinking about it now, Uemura Aster can't help but have certain physiological reactions.

In front of Itakura Atsuya, she couldn't express her true emotions.But in her heart, she couldn't help but curse:

'Xiao Xi, you stinky brother! ! ! '

...........

What happened in Shueisha's editorial department was unknown to Kazama Xi, who was thousands of meters away.However, after Uemura Ziwan yelled at his stinky brother, he seemed to have a feeling somewhere.

"Ah Choo." Kazama Yuki sneezed with her head turned sideways.

He took out a tissue on the table and wiped his nose before he turned around and said to the person in front of him, "I'm sorry."

Standing in front of Kazama Xi were three people, Yusuke Nishikawa, Shizuku Matsunaga and Toshiyuki Fujino, the assistants who belonged to his studio.

"Where did you just say... Oh, yes, Nishikawa and Matsunaga are ready to start your own creation."

"Yes!"

Both Nishikawa Yusuke and Matsunaga Jing bowed deeply.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Kazama, for your cultivation during this time. I have learned a lot from you!" Xi Chuan shouted loudly, with an imposing manner.

Kazama Xi was also taken aback by Xi Chuan's loud voice.

Song Yongjing, on the other hand, spoke softly as in the past, bowed and said:

"Thank you, Mr. Kazama, for your cultivation during this time."

The two of them, plus Toshiyuki Fujino, were the senior assistants of Xi Kazama when he first founded the studio.

Cartoonist assistant is a highly mobile occupation, similar to bricklayer and carpenter. Usually, you work under one cartoonist for a period of time, and you will change to another employer after the cartoon is completed.

At the same time, cartoonist assistants are similar to apprentices. They feel that they have already graduated and have enough accumulation to hit serial comics, and their original creations will also leave.Like the two now.

The work of the chainsaw man was completed, and the two also submitted their resignations to Kazama Xi.

Assistants like Yusuke Nishikawa and Jing Matsunaga who helped Xi Kazama in two works in a row are rare.After all, Kazama Xi's studio is not a formal, organized studio.His wages are not fixed, but the metering system pays according to the number of working days.

"I see, don't be so polite."

Kazama Xi waved again and again, the formality of the two made him feel awkward.

"In short, I will use what I have learned from the teacher to draw an impressive manga."

Nishikawa Yusuke said loudly, his eyes full of enthusiasm.

"Me too..." Matsunaga Jing echoed.

"I didn't teach you anything..." Kazama Xi said.

In fact, he still taught. After all, besides making money, becoming an assistant to a professional cartoonist also has the purpose of learning.

Matsunaga Jing and Nishikawa Yusuke are not stupid. After working with him for so long, they must have learned a lot in terms of storyboarding and brushwork.

After all, what my golden finger brings is a manga artist who will be a master of future generations...

"Painting skills and painters still need a lot of practice, and then they can form their own style of painting."

Taking advantage of the atmosphere of parting between master and apprentice, Kazama Xi couldn't help exhorting a few words.

"Painting skills..."

Hearing Kazama Xi's words, Nishikawa Yusuke and Matsunaga Jing were taken aback, and then looked at each other.

Nishikawa Yusuke was the first to react:

"Indeed, I also learned a lot from Mr. Kazama in terms of painting skills and painting skills."

"Me too..."

What is 'also'....

Kazama Xi complained in her heart.

Chapter 270 Five Registration Studio

For some reason, the scene in front of her reminded Kazama Xi of the part in "Journey to the West" when Patriarch Bodhi drove away the monkey.

What was the last sentence that Patriarch Bodhi said at that time...

It seems to be: "If you cause trouble in the future, just don't tell Master."

Kazama Xi shook her head.

Why did you suddenly think of Journey to the West?

Recently, my thoughts have always been a little erratic. It seems that the two works of Brother Wenchaoshu have been affected.

Gathering his mind, Kazama Xi said to the two of them again:

"I'll ask Editor Uemura to transfer this month's salary to your bank card in a few days."

After some encouragement, Matsunaga Jing and Nishikawa Yusuke said goodbye and left.

Kazama Xi's attention was on the other person.

Toshiyuki Fujino.

Unlike Matsunaga Jing and Nishikawa Yusuke, although the three are assistants who help with painting, Fujino Toshiyuki also takes on the job similar to the studio manager, arranging the entire studio properly, so that Kazama Xi Saved a lot of heart.

This is a talent...

Moreover, unlike Matsunaga Nishikawa, because of his early experience, Toshiyuki Fujino has already accepted the profession of assistant and gave up the idea of ​​becoming a serial manga artist.

If the serial cartoonist is the boss, the assistant is the worker.Basically, the dream of all migrant workers is to become a boss.Toshiyuki Fujino, on the other hand, has become a migrant worker willingly after failing to start a business.

However, it cannot be said that working as a worker is not good. People like Toshiyuki Fujino are undoubtedly considered emperors of working.The salary as an assistant is twice as high as that of an ordinary assistant.Of course, he certainly deserves the reward.
