Gotta Go the Healing Route

We must know that the average monthly income per capita is that most people are below the average line, while a small number of talents are above the average line.

Chapter 40 two requirements

Basically any occupation related to creation, the income at the bottom and the income at the top can be said to be very different.

Take the comics industry as an example. The income of bottom-level cartoonists may not even be able to make ends meet, living in remote and dilapidated rental cabins, and living on cheap instant food.Even, additional part-time jobs are needed to subsidize living expenses.

It is not an exaggeration to say that top cartoonists travel in luxury cars and live in mansions.The fixed rich royalties obtained through serialization are only a small part of their income.Where they really make their money is in the lucrative royalties they receive from the publication of their work.

For example, the authors of the three major migrant comics in Shennai country, their royalties are in the hundreds of millions a year.

Of course, it will be a very late stage to publish works in books or even make works as IP adaptations, animations and gamifications.There are very few masters who can do this.

Serialization is the most basic condition.In other words, only serial cartoonists can be called cartoonists.The others are just cartoonist assistants.

In fact, for most low-level cartoonists, being able to serialize in magazines is something they can be proud of.This represents a double jump in income class and social status.

It can be said that the contract offered by Akira Kitaoka is already the dream of most cartoonists.

What's more, the amount of remuneration does reflect the sincerity of Shueisha.

Generally speaking, for a new serial author, it is very good to get 10000 Shenna coins for a page of drawing. The remuneration of 15000 is already the standard for senior authors.

To lure them to profit.

Although he is not a businessman, Kitaoka Akira understands this very well.

No amount of lobbying is as useful as putting profits directly in front of you.

Even for doctors who also belong to the high-income group of golden collars, Kazama's annual income is only a little over 1000 million Shennai coins.

Of course, contracts are short-term.If the publisher cut him in half, the author, who had already gotten rid of the troubles of making a living, would be knocked out of the prototype again, which Kitaoka Akira did not say clearly.

However, Kitaoka Akira also considered Kazama Xi's potential.

Just for the pursuit of serialization, this kind of cartoonist is no different from salted fish.And the vast majority of cartoonists who draw with this goal cannot escape the fate of being cut in half.

After meeting Kazama Xi for the first time, Kitaoka Akira was sure that this delicate and immature young man in front of him would never have the same aspirations.

Because the boy's eyes, even in the face of Fengwo's manuscript fees, those eyes are still as clear and peaceful as a deep pool.

If it is not for money, then embarking on the path of comics must be for a nobler goal!

He didn't notice the fiery gaze cast by the editor-in-chief Akira Kitaoka, Kazama Yu just glanced at the contract on the table, and then looked away at Kazama for a long time.

Still that reason.

Kazama Xi's current body is still too young after all, such a major event must be approved by the guardian.

"Uncle..." Kazama Xi said softly.

Hearing Kazama Xi's call, Kazama Jiubie closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa.Then he opened his eyes again and sat up.

"Xiao Xi..."

Kazama looked at Xi Kazama after a long time, with a serious expression on his face that Xi Kazama had never seen before.

"I will not stop you from dreaming of the right way, on the contrary, I will encourage you to do my best to support you."

"Honestly speaking, this incident was quite sudden. Even the editor-in-chief of Shueisha came to visit me in person and offered a very good remuneration for the manuscript. This kind of undoubted good thing makes me hesitate..."

"However, if this is really your choice, I will still support it."

"I won't say it first, do you really think about it, are you going to take this path?"

Feng Jianxi nodded slightly.

Becoming a cartoonist is not only to fulfill the wish of the former owner of this body, but also Kazama Xi's own idea.

Looking at Kazama Yuki's clear eyes, Kazama's face softened after a long absence.

"Okay, now that you've made up your mind."

Hearing what Kazama Jiubie said, although Kitaoka Akira didn't show it on the surface, he was relieved in his heart.

After chatting and probing before, it was obvious that Feng Jianxi's guardian was not as easy to deal with as Wu Shanyun's parents.

"However, I have two requests."

But Kazama said suddenly after a long absence, and then looked at Kitaoka Akira and Uma Ryuichi.Obviously, these words were addressed to the two of them.

"Cartoonist is undoubtedly a very hard job, and occupational diseases are also the most serious type among many difficult jobs."

A cartoonist spends most of his working time sitting in a chair in front of a drawing table.As a result, the author's time to go out is extremely limited, and there is a serious lack of exercise.And due to inactivity, the body's resistance and immunity to viruses such as colds will also decrease.

Tenosynovitis, a common disease of overworked workers, also often affects cartoonists who draw with a pen for more than ten hours a day.After the onset of tenosynovitis, just a little movement of the finger will cause pain, and the finger with the onset of inflammation will be accompanied by fever, which is very uncomfortable.In addition to tenosynovitis, chronic diseases such as sore shoulders, headaches caused by eye fatigue and lack of sleep, and hemorrhoids caused by sedentary are also natural enemies of cartoonists.

And because of the fast-paced serialization of Kanna Country manga, cartoonists are always under the pressure of deadlines, and most cartoonists don’t even have time to eat a meal.Instant noodles, hamburgers, and bread often replace meals. Cartoonists face a life without meat and vegetables for a long time. If things go on like this, it is easy for the body to fall into malnutrition and lead to hair loss.

He is a doctor himself, although he has not been in contact with the cartoonist's patients.But he has often heard of this kind of thing from his colleagues.

"The body is everything to a person, and health is more important than money or anything else," said Kazama Jiube.

"A physical examination is required every six months. If there is any problem, the body must be the first priority."

"Followed by..."

"Even if you enter the industry now, even if you can do it for a long time. I still hope that you can finish your studies."

The ultimate goal of education is not just to let people learn the skills to gain a foothold in society.The cultivation of the three views is the most important.

As for higher education, although a lot of knowledge taught is of no use in society.But it can open up knowledge and make people better understand and think about the world.

"The minimum requirement is that you must at least complete high school and not drop out of school. If possible, I hope you can be admitted to university."

According to the education system of the country of Kana, after graduating from high school, education will be diverted.

Only a very small number can be admitted to universities, while most of the rest will enter professional institutions of higher learning to learn professional skills.

In terms of academic qualifications, Shennai country has done a good job in publicity.There is basically no chain of contempt for academic qualifications.However, highly educated people do get some attention.

"I just have these two requirements, can you guarantee it?" Kazama said after a long time.

These two requests made by Kazama after a long time made Kitaoka Akira's expression stiffen.

Although it is indeed reasonable.But many problems cannot be solved with reasonable reason.

"No problem..." But Feng Jianxi's voice sounded at this moment.

Kazama Xi categorically agreed to Kazama's request for a long absence without the slightest hesitation.

Kazama Jiubie frowned at his nephew.

But Kazama Xi smiled slightly.

"For the former, I can only promise verbally. While drawing manga, I will eat, rest and exercise as usual."

"The latter..."

"Speaking of which, the midterm exam is coming soon. I will use the results of this exam to prove that drawing manga and studying are both right."

"After all, I spent a month drawing the short comics in my free time."

Staring at Kazama Xi again, after Kazama's long absence, he didn't see any signs of perfunctory on Kazama Xi's face, it was a serious promise.

Kazama Jiube nodded lightly: "If these two requirements can really be met, there will be no problem on my side."

After a long absence, Kazama looked at Akira Kitaoka again: "Mr. Kitaoka."

"Mr. Kazama."

Kitaoka Akira nodded, but changed the topic.

"I hope to have a private chat with Mr. Xi, is that okay?"

PS: Where is it short.

PS2: Chapter 2 is coming later.

Chapter 41 Warehouse, boy, girl

Kazama House, second floor.

Kitaoka Kosei and Daikuma Ryuichi began to look at the room after entering the door.

This is a bedroom of about 15 square meters.

The arrangement of the room is simple.

A desk, a bookcase, a wardrobe, and then a bed.

Although the room is simple, it is very tidy. There are all kinds of books neatly placed on the bookcases. The upper layer is all kinds of literary classics, the middle layer is books related to learning, and the lower layer is a collection of comics and publications.On the desk, a stack of drawing paper is neatly placed in the upper right corner, and on the left is a pen holder, which contains various pens.

It can be seen that the owner of the house is a very clean person.

This is Kazama Xi's room.

"Mr. Kitaoka, Mr. Okuma, I'm sorry, but there are no more chairs."

The sudden entry of two adults made the room slightly crowded.

"fine."

Kitaoka shook his head, and sat cross-legged on the tatami with Uma Ryuichi.

"Although the living room would be more suitable for chatting, it's not very good for doing things there."

Kazama Xi explained softly.

"In fact, I probably know what Kitaoka-san is going to talk to me about."

Although the talents and aptitude of underage cartoonists are not to be mentioned, their minds and bodies are still immature.In terms of career outlook and physical strength, they cannot be compared with adults.

Even if the publishing house can make huge profits by signing cartoonists who are minors, the risks they have to bear are not small.

As Kazama mentioned before, the workload of serialization conflicts with physical health and studies.

Can a 16-year-old boy complete the workload of serial comics?

Will a 16-year-old boy quit after becoming a serial manga artist because of losing his temper and playing tantrums?

These are all issues that Akira Kitaoka has to consider.

"Cartoonist is a serious profession." Kazama Xi said.
