It's not clear why he suddenly lost his temper, Ying Lili sat beside him and said cautiously, shaking the phone screen in front of him.

"Got it, let's have breakfast first."

However, Luo Ye just nodded calmly, her young face remained calm.

Ying Lili couldn't help being filled with many doubts, she didn't understand why he suddenly seemed to be a different person, but at the moment, she could only suppress this thought for the time being, and turned around to go to the bathroom to wash and tidy up.

About ten minutes later, everyone gathered around the dining table, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly dull.

The Yamada goblin just woke up and didn't want to talk in a daze, so she just buried her head in eating her breakfast.As for Luo Ye and Li Li, they didn't say a word at all, and they even avoided each other deliberately, not getting tired of being together as usual.

This situation made Ying Lili instinctively feel that something was wrong, she quickly pulled the clothes of the fairy Yamada secretly, and whispered in a rather gossipy ear.

"You said the two of them had a conflict and quarrel, didn't they?"

She was fine last night, but this morning she was completely different.This makes people wonder what happened between them that night.

"It's possible, young lovers, it's normal to be noisy. Anyway, they will reconcile soon."

Yamada Goblin replied with an old-fashioned look, calm as usual.

But anyone who is a little familiar with her knows that this guy is actually a big girl who has never been in love, and can only talk on paper at best.

Ignoring the small movements of the two people at the side, Luo Ye looked complicatedly at the silent Lily, even the rich words seemed a little weak in this situation.

"Shueisha wants to discuss with me about the manga, and it should be over before noon."

After roughly repeating the meaning, Luo Ye simply ate breakfast, packed up his things and was ready to go out.

The clear refusal last night was tantamount to directly ruining the relationship that had been cultivated with great difficulty.

Now that things have happened, he doesn't expect to get the blessing of returning early like in the past.

But when he was about to go out, Luo Ye still heard Lily's weak voice like a pissed off daughter-in-law.

"Be careful on the road and come back early."

Looking back at Mu Ran, she saw the girl quietly followed all the way at some unknown time.

Seeing Luo Ye's gaze, she didn't know whether she didn't want to face him or dared to face him, Lily immediately turned her head to the other side, deluding herself that she would not be able to see each other this way.

"it is good."

The soft side of her heart seemed to be touched by her clumsy movements, Luo Ye nodded.He used to reach out his hand to rub her golden sand-like hair, but he hung in the air in embarrassment halfway, not daring to touch the beauty abruptly.

But as if seeing his intentions, Lily took the initiative to lean over him, gently leaning on him like a cat rubbing against its owner, her face blushing unnaturally.

The instant seemed to turn into eternity. If it wasn't for the presence of other people, Luo Ye would rather spend a little more time with Lily.

Even though they almost broke up last night, neither of them wanted to embarrass the other.This hot feeling is enough to wash away all the rest.

"Take a good look at the house and wait for me to come back."

Gently flicking the girl's forehead, Luo Ye smiled and left this sentence.

Not long after leaving the house, Ying Lili, who had already been blinded by the titanium gold dog eyes, couldn't help complaining, and began to complain endlessly.

"Eating the dog food given by the two of you early in the morning, who will feel better! Give me enough time! Also, what is going on? Are you quarreling for real or fake?"

It can be heard that she seems to be quite concerned about this matter, and after all, they have a good relationship after getting along recently.But Luo Ye clearly couldn't tell the truth, so he could only vaguely describe what happened.

"Lily is going back to her original country soon, and it may be difficult for us to see each other again in the future. So last night she asked me if I wanted to go with her."

Although the meaning was conveyed almost exactly the same, Ying Lili still had a hard time imagining the gap, so she glared at him angrily, and said angrily like pointing fingers.

"Cut! What's the difference between a hesitant and dull man and a good-for-nothing hero in a light novel! Don't tell me you're like that too!"

"This doesn't seem like something that would come out of your mouth. Could it be that girl who is a fairy who taught you?"

Luo Ye didn't expect that such a straightforward line would come out of Ying Lili's mouth, which was reserved for her feelings, and she was a little surprised.

"Who, who needs that guy to teach me! I just realized it myself! If you really like her, go after her boldly! Don't care about the ends of the world! There is no such thing as a long distance in this world! It's just an excuse!"

Although Ying Lili's tone was very aggressive, even Luo Ye had to admit that what she said was quite reasonable.

Just, sometimes.What is far away is not necessarily the distance, but the dimension.

Chapter 0081 talent and luck

In the cubicle of the Shueisha Jimbocho building, Shimada, who was in his thirties, was holding a stack of documents and talking familiarly with Luo Ye and Eiriri in front of him.

The short works submitted by the two for participation in the Tezuka Award some time ago have attracted a certain amount of attention.Especially when everyone in the editorial department learned that the two of them were so young, they were somewhat surprised.They all joked that Shimada, who has been in this industry for many years, is lucky, and finally found a good seed.

But Shimada was not very happy, he could only agree to their flattery and flattery with a wry smile, while his heart seemed to be weighed heavily by a boulder.

Although the prospect looks good, it must be turned into real benefits, otherwise everything will be empty talk.

"It's good to be young. The deputy editor-in-chief is very concerned about your situation, and specifically asked me to ask you to interview you early. This is the selection opinion for the work."

Shimada sighed meaningfully, and various emotions were mixed in the deep sigh.

There is the dissatisfaction of standing still for many years, the depression of being unable to display one's ambitions, and the expectation of seeing the sun behind the clouds.

Everyone wants to go further, and the rules for promotion and salary increase in JUMP are also very simple, that is, to discover comics or creators with potential.

It sounds like nothing, but this road is destined to be full of thorns.

To draw manga well, skills alone are not enough, talent and luck are even more important.

Only a few out of [-] creators will succeed.Many people may not be able to produce good works in poverty all their lives, and what they have worked hard for more than ten years is very likely to be nothingness.

But even so, there are still many people who devote themselves to this industry with enthusiasm, hoping to create impressive works one day.

Maybe they have to wait until they have experienced many setbacks and failures, then their original aspirations will gradually fade away with time, just like Luo Ye now.

His talents are quite average, not to mention extraordinary.The technology is not brilliant, nothing more than practice makes perfect.Otherwise, there is no need to be an unknown doujin creator before, and you can make your own creations.

Originally, Luo Ye's life might have been spent in such a mediocre way, working to make money, marrying a wife and having children, supporting a family... Ordinary things can no longer be ordinary.

Who would have expected that the Goddess of Fate would actually play a small joke on him, causing him to travel to a parallel world that seemed unreal, and the trajectory of his life was completely changed.

Clearly understanding that today's income is largely based on illusory luck, Luo Ye is not happy no matter what, and his mood is more or less depressed.

However, he quickly packed up and adjusted his mood, and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear in relief.

"It's true that luck accounts for a large proportion of being able to get to where I am today. So in the future, it is more about transforming this luck into real skills and talents, and making it work for me instead of letting it drive me .”

At this time, Ying Lili was holding a thin piece of paper and staring at it intently, and had no time to think about other things.

Shueisha's judging comics will be scored from six aspects: story, characters, drawing power, composition power, performance power, and originality.

Others are not difficult to understand, but the performance and composition sound a bit mysterious.

In short, the former is the ability to present the story, while the latter is the grasp of the structure and rhythm.

"Your drawing ability got a full score of five points, the acting ability of the story characters is a little bit inferior, and the remaining two things need to be improved. But it is still a very high score, especially for the fledgling newcomers .”

Shimada carefully controlled his tone, not daring to brag too much to make them feel proud, and not too low to make them disheartened, and tried his best to maintain a moderate level.

He didn't say the biggest advantage of the duo, and he didn't want to say it now.

Once Luo Ye and Ying Lili start to serialize, the gimmick of the young genius will undoubtedly attract many people.Even if there will be more doubts, as long as the fame can be hyped up, it is also a kind of success.

After all, the social atmosphere in the background of this era is like this, and no one can blame it.

In addition to the quality of the work itself, other factors must also be considered comprehensively, which is why the editorial department is really optimistic about this young combination.

Although there are few capable creators, they are not uncommon, but creators with both strength and bright spots are scarce.

Luo Ye and Ying Lili are talented and beautiful, just like a pair of golden boys and girls, they can completely rely on their faces to eat and follow the path of idols.And this is exactly what other cartoonists can hardly do.

"This score is expected to win the award, right? I don't know what your company thinks about the serialization of Death Note."

Luo Ye still hopes to publish it earlier. After all, there are countless works that can be transported. Transporting one more will not only bring him considerable benefits, but also promote the development of the world's Two-dimensional culture.

"I have already shown the first draft to the chief editor, and I plan to hold another meeting to discuss it. After all, Death Note is not Wang Daoliu's boy manga, and it is somewhat inconsistent with JUMP's usual theme. In addition, you are sure to have the time to complete the heavy serialization task. Is it?"

Shimada was still not at ease, and asked again to avoid a situation similar to Yoshihiro Togashi's, which would arouse public anger if a large number of people were cheated.

There is nothing wrong with Luo Ye. His daily restaurant business hours have been fixed at noon and three hours in the afternoon, and the rest of the time is very free.Even if you plan to practice swordsmanship, you still have a lot of time.

And Ying Lili also hurriedly patted her chest that was as flat as a plain to assure herself.

The private Toyosaki Academy she is currently studying in does not need to stay and study. If she doesn't join the club in the afternoon, she can go home as a member of the home club, and she has a lot of free time.

Just like the students in the major Japanese comics have nothing to do all day long, they are either busy falling in love or trying to make things happen, and they hardly have to go to class.This is in stark contrast to the heavy studies that Luo Ye once experienced.

After receiving the guarantee, Shimada breathed a sigh of relief, then cast his eyes on Luo Ye with a little envy, and said self-deprecatingly.

"What really makes me optimistic about your combination is that apart from being young and talented, it has nothing to do with you. Luo Ye, you are the kind of person who can think about how to write to be loved by readers. This alone makes most of you Everyone is ashamed of themselves, including me."

The sudden remarks surprised both of them, especially Ying Lili didn't understand why he suddenly praised Luo Ye.He kept wandering and turning his eyes around the two of them, wondering if there was some ulterior and dirty deal in it.

Chapter 0082 1 Hamlets

Seemingly seeing the confusion of the blonde girl, Shimada raised two fingers and began to explain solemnly.

"In my personal opinion, there are roughly two types of successful cartoonists. One is to draw what you want and like to draw, and then sell it well. To put it bluntly, this is egoism, and to put it bluntly, it is the genius type. One is that, like Luo Ye, after careful conception and calculation, he releases best-selling works. In fact, the vast majority of cartoonists who draw best-selling works are people who have not calculated. "

The rather novel statement aroused both of them's interest. They calmed down and listened to him expressing his opinions solemnly.

"The practice of recreating comics by analyzing and calculating is relatively difficult to control. Because of this, those who can release best-selling works in this way are truly powerful. Works will not disappear after only one or two releases. Our The same is true for editors, if you are good at planning and analysis, you will continue to come up with good works, and promotion and salary increase will become within reach, hahaha.”

How many cartoonists can only draw one or two best-selling works in their lifetime.Even Akira Toriyama couldn't come up with comparable works after being exhausted by Dragon Ball, and even had to stop writing for a while.

The heyday of JUMP also came to an end after the end of Dragon Ball, and the sales have been in a slump, and the industry has gradually declined.Even after that, young talents still emerge in endlessly, but it is difficult to restore the situation.

Shimada's difficulty is that he has not been able to find excellent works for a long time, and if he delays any longer, he may be laid off by the company.

As a large publishing house, Shueisha's workplace competition is undoubtedly quite fierce, both on the surface and in the dark.It is absolutely impossible to survive in such a harsh environment just thinking about dawdling.

But perhaps it is precisely because of this impetus that JUMP can overwhelm Shogakukan and Kodansha and become the number one manga magazine in Japan.

"Is this guy really that powerful?"

Hearing Shimada's hype about Luo Ye, Ying Lili couldn't help but look at him suspiciously, a little bit unbelievable.

Maybe it's because they get along with each other on weekdays, and she just ignores these things because of her rough temper. She only thinks that he is not bad, but she doesn't know what level he is.

"It's just a habit that you develop."

Luo Ye didn't expect the editor's evaluation of him to be so high, and she felt a little ashamed in her heart.

Although he was indeed able to do these things, it was more due to standing on the shoulders of those masters than to how much talent he had.

"In addition, your short stories will be serialized in the Tezuka Award special issue in a few days, and we will have to see how readers respond."

Shimada's tone did not relax, he was still doing what he should do step by step.

The questionnaire survey is a system that JUMP vigorously promotes. The real success or failure is a hero theory, emphasizing the use of strength to speak.

General manga magazines will only use reader opinion surveys as a reference, but JUMP puts special emphasis on it and uses it as an indicator of popularity index.

The comics that have received rave reviews from readers are vigorously promoted, but the last few are often on the verge of being cut in half.No matter how optimistic the editor is, it is useless. In the end, the reader has the final say.

If the new work they come up with is not as well received as expected, then the serialization of Death Note may have to be delayed.

"No matter what kind of work, everyone has different feelings after seeing it. Just like there are 1 Hamlets in 1 people. So I can't conclude that you will be successful."

Shimada said solemnly as if he had deep understanding, with an extraordinarily heavy tone.

"To be honest, even our editors can't accurately predict whether the works will sell well. If we knew, so many new works would not be said to be cut in half."

The words were straightforward and heartfelt. Hearing this man say so much with a wry smile, Ying Lili's remaining worries almost disappeared, thinking that he was a good person worthy of trust.

There was a trace of solemnity in Luo Ye's eyes, and she was convinced that this would be a more pleasant cooperation, so she shook hands with him in a friendly manner.

"Then let's wait and see."

The interview ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere. Although they did not become famous overnight, they were all willing to accept this situation.

No matter what achievements the two have made, they are both newcomers on this road, and they need to go step by step.

If you want to get rave reviews, cause a sensation, and shock the industry once your work is released, what is it like daydreaming?

After parting, Shimada, who returned to the third group of the editorial department on the fourth floor, let out a long sigh. His previous solemn expression was replaced with a little joy, and he hummed a cheerful song with ease.

"Shimada, I heard that the rookie team you discovered this time is amazing. Have you won the jackpot? Someday, you should treat me to celebrate."

Yamamura, who had a good relationship with him, noticed this scene, raised his head from the densely packed manuscripts, and smiled and joked.

"There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. One is talented, and the other is only 15 years old. They have full potential."

Shimada was not stingy with his praise, and really felt that their words really had something to say.
