"You are Luo Ye and Kashiwagi Eri, right? I am Shimada, please take care of me."

Talking to himself, the ordinary-looking man unceremoniously pulled up a chair and sat down, directly getting to the point.

"Well, I won't mince words, may I have a look at the manuscript?"

Luo Ye was not sloppy, and readily handed over the thick stack of manuscripts of the Death Note.After taking it with both hands, Shimada flipped through it at an astonishing speed. The paper flashed in his hand, but he didn't even blink his eyelids, he had long been used to it.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Seeing this scene, as if waiting for the judge to pronounce the guilt, Yinglili's heart beat faster suddenly, as if it would jump out of the chest cavity at any time.Her breathing also unknowingly became turbulent, her slender hands were firmly pressed on her knees, and her teeth were trembling slightly.

For her, who is eager to go ashore with a clean slate and be able to proudly introduce her work to others, her mood at this time is undoubtedly ups and downs like riding a roller coaster.

Inadvertently glanced at the girl beside her who was in an uneasy state, Luo Ye patted her on the shoulder and comforted her.

"It's okay, it's just a cartoon. Even if we fail, we can come back again, so we have to put our minds at rest."

Having said that, only he himself knows what Luo Ye is thinking at the moment.

"I, I know, you don't need to say more."

Ying Lili went against her usual attitude, she blushed and whispered like a little girl, and she didn't impatiently slap his hand away, instead, she was inexplicably relieved a lot as a consolation, and let him hold it.

What Shimada said next made her even more relieved.

"Not bad! It's hard to imagine that this is a work that you can create at your age. Both the story and the artist are close to professional level. I drink coffee, what do you want to drink?"

When the editor says that he wants to invite the cartoonist to drink tea, it often means that the work has passed, which is one of the subtexts in the industry.

Although Shimada praised verbally, his face was expressionless, and he stared at the work indifferently.

The manuscript is wonderful, yes, but it's also not good to praise it too much to make them complacent, just in moderation.Having been in the comics industry for seven or eight years, he is more experienced and considers more aspects.

"I'm also coffee. For the two of them, it's milk. It's troublesome."

Luo Ye replied politely, and did not express any joy from the bottom of her heart because the work had passed the review.

After all, this is not his original work. Even if he gains fame and praise, it belongs to others, and there is nothing to be proud of.

Mistaking his calm performance for flattery and calmness that does not belong to his age, Shimada couldn't help but think highly of him, and continued to ask.

"Did the two of you think about the story together? Are you going to work hard as a professional cartoonist in the future? Or is it just a hobby?"

"I am in charge of the original work, and Eri Kashiwagi is in charge of the painting, and we work together. Both of us have considered the path of being a professional cartoonist, but in reality there are other things. Of course, it will definitely not be like a mahjong maniac." Three days of fishing and two days of posting on the Internet, and only come back to draw comics after losing money. Serialization is definitely no problem, please don’t worry about this as an editor.”

Luo Ye joked with a smile, which eased the tense and depressing atmosphere a lot.Shimada also knew very well that he was alluding to Yoshihiro Togashi, who was the only one in the entire manga industry, and his expression became a little dumbfounded, and he was also surprised by his humor.

Not to mention the cartoonists who contributed for the first time, even many cartoonists who have been around for some years behave submissively in front of the editor, almost speechless due to nervousness.And there are not many people who are as calm as him and can even crack a joke.After all, this profession needs to devote energy to creation, and often has no time to take care of interpersonal communication, so many cartoonists are withdrawn and closed.

"It's best if you can do this. In fact, our JUMP is not strict with cartoonists, as long as the manuscript can be handed in on time, and don't take on the task of serialization in other places. You can do whatever you want. Next, I will talk about this. The view of the work is good."

Shimada flipped through the manuscript again, this time at a significantly slower pace than before, speaking every word very seriously.

"On the whole, it should be attributed to suspense reasoning. The style tends to be dark and cruel. It is a relatively rare type in JUMP, which is the opposite of the bloody and passionate kingly way. But there should be many readers who will be attracted. The fighting is very exciting, if it can maintain this level in the follow-up, it can be called a superior work. How many stories do you plan to create?"

"Around 110 episodes. I can guarantee that the plot will not be inferior, and even more ups and downs. The outline and setting are here."

Luo Ye didn't explain too much, just took out the written copy and put it on the table for Shimada to read.

"A medium? It seems that you are fully prepared to jump straight to the JUMP serialization, right?"

Shimada seemed to see their purpose and told the truth.But Luo Ye smiled and said nothing, nodded in acquiescence to his statement.

Death Note used to be a serialized work on JUMP, and it was well received and became a topic of social discussion.Since it can reach this level, it is impossible to condescend to it, right?

"It's true that the work is excellent. But it's a pity that you can't serialize it directly on JUMP."

Shimada shook his head and said, these words made Ying Lili's eyes reddened immediately, and she asked stubbornly: "Why, why? Didn't you say it was very good? Why can't it be serialized."

In her opinion, this is a difficult thing to understand. Even though the work is recognized, it cannot be serialized. What is the reason?

"It's very simple, because you are pure newcomers and don't have enough qualifications. Even if I agree, it's useless if other editors and editor-in-chiefs refuse to agree. JUMP is not what anyone says. If you want to get a weekly serial, you have to From the monthly to the semi-monthly, step by step. You can try to serialize it in the supplement.”

Squinting his eyes, his tone remained flat, the man was revealing an extremely realistic reality.

There is no success overnight, let alone fame in one fell swoop, and some are just down-to-earth.

Death Note has condensed almost all of Ying Lili's hard work in recent times, with the purpose of serializing it on JUMP, who expected it to be rejected so easily.She was about to get angry, but was stopped by Luo Ye's hand, he smiled slightly, his tone was determined and natural.

"That's not necessarily the case, editor Shimada. As far as I know, there are still channels, right? For example, the Tezuka Award."

Chapter 0062

The Tezuka Award is an authoritative award sponsored by Shueisha for the purpose of selecting new cartoonists.As long as you can get the Excellent Work Award and above, you can directly get the opportunity to serialize on JUMP.

Shimada didn't expect Luo Ye to mention this suddenly, and felt a little surprised in his heart, but he still replied truthfully.

"It seems that you have put in a lot of effort. You are even clear about this in the recent review. Yes, as long as you can win this award, everything is possible. But don't you think about it anymore? With the level of Death Note, in the It’s absolutely fine to be serialized in the supplement. Taking JUMP as the goal may be too high for a newcomer, and it takes a while to sharpen.”

From an editor's point of view, he undoubtedly doesn't want to see Whizful Boys.As the saying goes, it takes ten years to hone a sword, and the creation process often takes time to accumulate. Getting a reputation prematurely is not necessarily a good thing.He has seen a lot of geniuses who made their debut like comets but died halfway.

And even if it is serialized in the supplement, you can still get a decent remuneration, and it is even more likely to get the opportunity to serialize in JUMP after the serialization is completed.If you can't get the Tezuka Award, it means that you can't earn a penny, which is tantamount to wasting time.

"Since I choose to submit an article in your agency, I naturally have to get to know it well. There is such an opportunity in front of me, why should I miss it? Besides, I still have great confidence in the combination of the two of us."

Luo Ye smiled and put her hands on Ying Lili's shoulders to narrow the distance between the two of them, as if to encourage her, and as if to declare a tacit understanding.

The girl bit her thin lips with blushing cheeks, her eyes were misty, her hands were tightly grasping the hem of her clothes, her usual coquettishness was shy and she was ashamed to speak.

"Okay, I like your confident and unarrogant attitude. Judging by the strength you have shown, it should be no problem to win an award. But I would like to remind you that it is best to draw another short story for the competition, Death Note It's a little too long."

Shimada enthusiastically introduced the various rules of the Tezuka Tour, and gave a business card to indicate that if they have any questions, just contact him.

The conversation came to an end in a relatively peaceful atmosphere. Shimada left on the grounds that he still had something to do, and Luo Ye and the others also left the Jimbocho building and rushed to their residences.

"You, have you decided what story to take part in?"

Ying Lili seemed to be still immersed in the moment when she was hugged on the shoulder just now, she didn't dare to look at Luo Ye directly, her eyes were evasive.

"It's not easy to make short stories wonderful. But don't worry, I will conceive the story, and you can just concentrate on painting."

Even if you don't choose those familiar classics, Luo Ye can still come up with a better story frame based on his rich experience.Although some familiar routines are indispensable, they are relatively new in this very different parallel world.

"That's good, don't let me down. In addition, you performed well today, at least you have the responsibility you should have as a man. Let me look a little higher. Of course, it's just a little bit. Don't think that I will treat you You're impressed or something."

At this moment, Ying Lili unexpectedly showed the shyness of a little girl, but she was stubborn in her words and refused to give in.

Luo Ye looked at her with great interest.As if she was afraid that he would see through something, Ying Lili hurriedly turned her head to the side.

But immediately the girl seemed to think of something again, and her expression gradually dimmed.

There is no harm without comparison.If someone can be as frank as he is, instead of being immersed in the beautiful and illusory Two-dimensional and unable to recognize the reality, maybe the relationship between her and him will not be frozen to the point where they are not in contact with each other today.

Ying Lili, who has not yet stepped into the cruel society from the ivory tower, still can't let go of the relationship between childhood sweethearts, and has more or less the slightest hope.

Luo Ye also vaguely noticed this, and there was an intriguing smile imperceptibly on her lips.

After returning to the restaurant, Luo Ye conceived a short cartoon for the competition while preparing the dishes.

He personally prefers the theme of reincarnation, and he admires stories such as Steins;Gate and When the Chilling Cicadas Cry.

It mainly involves the concept of going back in time and starting over, similar to reading archives when playing games.

Luo Ye pursed her lips and thought about it, and the relevant context in her mind gradually became clear.

After skillfully cooking the dishes, he greeted the two people upstairs to come down to eat, and the sound of stomping footsteps sounded immediately.

Several people sat around the dining table and ate delicious dishes. Luo Ye gave a general idea of ​​the new work.

The hero is a policeman, and he participated in an anti-drug mission with his partners. Unexpectedly, the other party was fully prepared, and the entire group was swept in by the planted bomb and died without a burial.The moment he opened his eyes again, he found that he was back to the day before the attack.

In the constant reincarnation, the male protagonist can't get rid of the fate of his own death or the tragic death of his partner. He once thought about giving up or committing suicide, but he was encouraged by the smile of the female protagonist who was also in the team.Constantly strengthen the strength, discover and pull out the traitor, use the prophet to predict the ambush, and finally lead the friends to get rid of the ending of death and usher in a new and beautiful life.

"The story is not bad, it should be able to be presented in a hundred or so pages. Besides, it feels a bit clichéd."

Ying Lili nodded after thinking for a while, but still made a small opinion.

"If there are some twists and turns, for example, the heroine is the traitor, and she was betrayed by her partner and killed together with the police. The hero can learn about her past through reincarnation, and then try to gain influence or something."

Luo Ye had a keen mind and quickly thought of corresponding modifications.Ying Lili's eyes lit up at this rather bold proposal, and she immediately agreed.

"Very good, let's do this first!"

After chatting for a while again, they were more harmonious than ever before.But Luo Ye's cell phone vibrated suddenly, and when he picked it up, it turned out that An Yilun had also called.

"Mr. Luo Ye, I have lived up to your expectations. I have already finished reading Sword Art Online. The novel is quite interesting and very interesting. It's just that my eyes are a little sore from reading it. It seems that I have to take a good rest in the past few days. Then How about this, the relevant comments are on my blog, you can just go and read it.”

He was excitedly announcing the good news, as if he was relieved to see an excellent work, the voice could be heard clearly even through the phone call, and Ying Lili's originally excited face suddenly darkened.

"Who are you talking to?"

"An Yilun, a high school student who used to work here. What, do you know him?"

Luo Ye pretended to be ignorant and said calmly, while Ying Lili lowered her head and complained angrily as if she had found someone to confide in.

"It's not just acquaintance? Anyway, just don't mention his name again! If you meet such a puzzled boy, you will definitely be furious? I don't even know how I endured it before." .”

Seeing that she was a little impulsive, Luo Ye simply chose to be a listener.Let the girl vent her dissatisfaction over there, since she and An Yilun also knew each other when they were young, they have been hearing about the tense relationship today.

Chapter 0063

The past of Ying Lili and An Yilun is nothing more than that, even if Luo Ye doesn't listen to her gritting her teeth to describe that dusty past, she still knows the general idea.

But he still listened patiently one by one, just like the sense of sight of life consultation.

The reason for the quarrel between the two involved face and temper. No matter who they were, they thought it was the fault of the other party.

Originally, many things have been washed away by time.If it wasn't for such an opportunity that happened to happen today, Ying Lili might not be able to recall this incident for a while in her busy life.

"Actually, you have a very good relationship, right? It's not easy to remember each other like this. To be honest, I can't remember exactly what happened in my elementary school."

After listening to her narration, Luo Ye lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and joked with a slight smile.

"Who, who would have thought that we will be in the same school as him in the future! Even if you don't want to meet that name, you will hear about his embarrassing behavior from time to time from your friends."

Ying Lili lowered her head, pursed her lips and muttered resentfully.

"After so many years, why not try to improve the relationship? Although it's not a reunion, after all, they have never been together, but they can be repaired after all."

Luo Ye considered the words, just talking about the facts, trying to be as fair as possible instead of deliberately favoring anyone.

"I have given him several chances! But he has always been stubborn and thinks he is right. Girls are meant to be coaxed! Who can stand his attitude of pushing his nose and face!"

Ying Lili slowly revealed the emotions hidden in her heart for many years one by one.

It's not that she hasn't thought about repairing the relationship, but An Yilun is helpless like an elm lump and never gives in.And her arrogant personality combined with the reservedness of women also made it impossible for her to apologize to An Yilun.

Just like these days, men chasing women is the mainstream, while women chasing men is very rare.Men often have to take the first step bravely most of the time, rather than shrink back and stop.

But An Yilun can't do this at all. He is too immersed in the beautiful and illusory Two-dimensional and ignores reality.Luo Ye knew this well, and it wasn't incomprehensible.

"He just likes Two-dimensional too much, but he's actually pretty good."

"That's just from your point of view! If you were a girl and you had a relationship with this guy, you would definitely be so angry. You only know about those things all day long, why don't you just drink dichlorvos and go to Two-dimensional!"

Ying Lili was not caring too much when she was angry, she was straightforward, and she didn't know how many people her words had caused critical damage to.

The perspectives of the two are completely different, and the evaluations they get are also completely different.After realizing that no matter what he said, it would be useless for the stubborn Ying Lili, Luo Ye didn't try anything anymore.

This is a private matter between the two of them, and he doesn't need to get involved.Furthermore, I have been getting along with Ying Lili recently, let alone other things, but after all, I have established a relationship like a revolutionary friendship because of the co-creation.As the so-called long-term love, it is impossible to surrender to others.It is not worth the loss if you get a famous painter. Both painters and illustrators are indispensable in this small studio.

"Calm down, let's not talk about this topic, shall we?"

In order to divert her attention, Luo Ye talked about the specifics of participating in the Tezuka Awards, without missing a single detail.Ying Lili is also more concerned about this matter, leaving aside her personal grievances and feelings for the time being, and listening carefully and attentively.

Compared with their feelings, their professionalism is not inferior or even stronger.Ying Lili is eagerly looking forward to being able to proudly mention her work to others and be recognized.It was precisely because of this that she readily agreed to cooperate with Luo Ye and create together.Compared with the love between children, it is just a trivial matter.

And after working together during this period of time, it is not difficult to find that Luo Ye is not as difficult to get along with as it seems on the surface.

Seeing the young man concentrating on talking about the entries, Ying Lili couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces of the recent time together in Ying Lili's mind, and she didn't know where her thoughts drifted.

At first, she thought that Luo Ye was also an otaku who only knew how to yell all day long, but she didn't expect that this guy had some real talents, and his ability was obvious to all.Cooking skills are quite good and can make people addicted to food. He handles things in an orderly manner. Even in the face of JUMP editors, he is as stable as Mount Tai, and he has the responsibility that a man should have.

If An Yilun had also come, there would undoubtedly be a mess.Even if she reminisces about her old love, Ying Lili can't deny that excellent people are often more likely to attract others.

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing that she was a little distracted, Luo Ye stared straight ahead, which was his own direction, and interrupted Ying Lili's thoughts with a light cough.

The girl's cheeks flushed immediately, and she was afraid of being misunderstood, so she awkwardly argued: "No, it's nothing!"

"Then shall I continue?"

Luo Ye acted as if she didn't see her small movements, but the topic gradually changed from participating in the competition to all over the world.Ying Lili opened up the barriers in her heart and talked with him about many other things.This is the first time she has shown her true feelings since joining the studio.In the past, she was always stubborn, never willing to say anything.
