Big Manga

Because of an incident that He Xi suddenly mentioned, the Phoenix Company was shaken. He actually wanted to change his assistant.

All the manga assistants received his notice on this day. Although they could choose what to do, Bai Han, who was the first to receive the notice, had already agreed. For a while, the major editorial departments of Phoenix Company were in chaos.

"Why did Teacher He Xi suddenly plan to change assistants?"

"He is not satisfied with his current assistant? But the iron job is gone, so don't other cartoonists have a chance to fill it?"

"What is Teacher He Xi thinking? His assistants are already some of the best cartoonists in our company. If the assistants are changed, how can the quality of the cartoons be guaranteed!?"

"This incident was too sudden, editor-in-chief, what do you say now!"

Ning Hai, the editorial department of "Weekly Boys" was in chaos. The editor-in-chief of the magazine asked Ye Xiong—although Ye Xiong had been promoted to the department head of boys' comics, this subordinate still habitually called him editor-in-chief.

But Ye Xiong had already made a decision as soon as he got the news.

"Don't worry about it, let Teacher He Xi's assistants choose for themselves!"

Replacing assistants is a very important thing, and well-known cartoonists will do this very carefully. And He Xi's replacement of assistants is even more problematic. If he changes assistants, can the new assistant draw He Xi's comics well? ——This is very important. He Xi's comics are all popular comics, so there can be no accidents.

From this point of view, Ye Xiong should have persuaded He Xi to give up this idea, but he did not do so because he understood and supported He Xi's idea.

The risk of manga quality can be compensated by people. He Xi's assistants are all elites, but they are not so elite that they cannot be replaced. After all, they are just assistants. He Xi is the backbone. Controlled.

If one animator cannot replace those assistants, replace them with two or more animators who can fill the gap in quality.

He Xi's current assistants are all very good. Ye Xiongzhi thought that they might make a greater contribution if they left. Similarly, the vacant assistant positions after they leave can also be used to train other cartoonists.

In the past few years, Phoenix Company has had many talented newcomer cartoonists appear, and they are very talented in drawing skills. But they are very unfamiliar with manga techniques and plot settings. If they can learn from He Xi's side for a period of time, the effect will be very great.

So Ye Xiong does not intend to interfere with this matter, he hopes that those assistants will think carefully before making a choice - but even if he does not intend to interfere,

The editors in charge of He Xi's comics in the editorial department couldn't sit still for a long time.

In Jiayuan District. On the night when the news came out, several editors went to Tomato's house to visit.

"Teacher Hua Meng, Teacher Hua Meng, you must never agree!"

"That's right, no matter how you look at it, there is no easier job than being Teacher He Xi's assistant!"

In the living room, the editors of the editorial department of "Weekly Girl" are persuading Hua Meng to reject He Xi's proposal. In the studio separated by only one wall, two editors from the editorial department of "Weekly Boys" were also persuading Tomato.

"Teacher Tomato, you have to think carefully about this matter. You can be a cartoonist without Teacher He Xi. But do you know what it means to leave Teacher He Xi? It means a drop in income! You must know that the entire Phoenix Company, Except for Qin Ya, the income of other cartoonists is not as good as your assistants, and you know the generosity of Teacher He Xi, you will not give up such a good job, right?"

"Tomato, you must not let go! Do you know that once you let go, how many people will rush to serve as assistants in "Detective Conan"? If this job falls into the hands of others, then you won't regret it There will be another chance!"

And in the same way, that night, he was also caught by the editor of "One Piece".

". Teacher He Xi is about to announce a new animation work. Before he left, he said that "One Piece" cannot be dragged on forever. The new animation will be "One Piece" in all likelihood. If you are still an assistant of this comic. Then the animation The production will definitely need your help - you can't lose the chain at the critical moment."

The editor's words are more easy-going, but the meaning in the words is the same, he is not allowed to give up the assistant position of "One Piece".

The main reason why these editors are so enthusiastic is that they are worried that the quality of He Xi's popular comics will be affected if the assistant is changed. What is even more worrying is that if the assistant is changed, these comics may be transferred to the responsible editors of those cartoonists.

Although the editorial department has not yet decided on this matter. However, after hearing about He Xi's replacement of assistants, all the editors wanted to take over those works—not to mention the cartoonists. After Bai Han made a choice during the day, he has not officially left the job, and now there are thirty The manga artist applied to take her place.

As long as Tomato lets go of them, it may be very difficult to be any assistant in the future.

The assistants in Jiayuan Community knew that they were facing an important choice. After the editors left at night, Hua Meng called and went to Meng Huo’s house with Wang Yanmeng, Xi Wenlin and others to discuss what to do. .

"If we don't serve as teacher He Xi's assistant, can we still work here?" As soon as she walked into the living room, Wang Yanmeng suddenly felt a little sad. I don't know what to do.

"This is not a problem." Hua Meng said: "I heard from the editor that Mr. He Xi will prepare several studios in Ninghai and Manga Island, and his new assistants will work in those studios. They won't come here—wait After Sister Qin comes back, no matter whether we are teacher He Xi's assistant or not, we can come and work here."

Looking at her: "Teacher Huameng, have you already made up your mind?"

"It's not me...it's Tomato..." Hua Meng turned to look at Tomato, and said, "I will continue to be the assistant of Teacher Any Xi. and also."

Looking at Tomato, Tomato nodded.

"Thanks to Mr. He Xi, I seem to have earned enough money for my whole life in the past few years." He smiled and said, "I want to go out and have a look, although I am very reluctant to part with "Detective Conan", but before I became an assistant , and also a cartoonist."

Neither he nor Huameng has financial burdens, and they have the courage to pursue their dreams. Huameng still has to raise and educate their children, and there are many things in life. So I feel that life is not bad now, there is no need for both husband and wife to open new comics.

"Wen Lin, I'm sorry, I won't be able to work with you in the future."

Tomato turned to Xi Wenlin and said. Xi Wenlin was the only assistant who had not been informed by Meng Huo. He is responsible for the case script of "Detective Conan", he is an indispensable person, besides, Xi Wenlin can't draw, so it is impossible to become a cartoonist.

"It's okay." But Xi Wenlin didn't seem to mind Tomato's departure, he replied with a smile, "It's better if you leave. Maybe Teacher He Xi will change to a female assistant, and I will be happier at work."

Tomato's face turned stinky, but he couldn't do anything with Xi Wenlin, so he looked at him and said, ""One Piece" is even more popular than "Detective Conan", and you have made a lot of money, don't stay with Mr. He Xi It's under your wings, come out with me!"

He frowned, then shook his head: "Not yet."

"What? Are you scared?" Tomato proudly said, "Unexpectedly, you were also afraid. Didn't you always suppress me and beat me before? It was very powerful at that time. Why did you suddenly wither this time?"

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he knew that Tomato was provoking himself to compare himself with him. But he is not afraid of Tomato at all. Both he and Tomato are well-known cartoonists. If both of them leave He Xi, I believe Tomato will never win him.

He really wanted to go out and fight Tomato, but now he has his own ideas and won't be stimulated by such a simple aggressive method.

"I'm not afraid, but I have a wish to fulfill." Glancing at Wang Yanmeng, he said, "I've been painting "One Piece" for many years, and now I'm leaving halfway. I want to put it on TV first."

Witnessing the growth of "One Piece", it is He Xi's work, but it is also the hard work of him and Wang Yanmeng. He has always hoped to make "One Piece" into an animation. The animation of this manga is just around the corner, and he certainly doesn't want to give up.

"Yanmeng, you don't want to give up, do you?" Looking at Wang Yanmeng, Wang Yanmeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I want to wait another half a year."

He looked at Wang Yanmeng in surprise, he had expected that Wang Yanmeng would not give up the job of He Xi's assistant - but he thought Wang Yanmeng would keep it forever. I didn't expect that she would say half a year. This sentence means that after half a year, she will not be an assistant with any regrets.

There were several other people who were also surprised. Hua Meng looked at Wang Yanmeng curiously: "Yanmeng, your husband allowed you to do this?"

The reason why they decided that Wang Yanmeng would not give up the position of He Xi's assistant was mainly because Wang Yanmeng was under more pressure than others—her husband was the editor of Phoenix Company, how could she be allowed to give up such a good job ?

"Actually, he asked me to do this." Wang Yanmeng smiled wryly, and said, "He said that I can't always stay in the shadow of He Xi, I have talent, and I should become a real cartoonist."

Hua Meng immediately looked at Wang Yanmeng's husband with admiration. It's hard for an ordinary editor to say such a thing. If Wang Yanmeng didn't care about his assistant, his income would be reduced a lot—I didn't expect her husband to be so open-minded.

But Hua Meng couldn't help gossiping in her heart, maybe Wang Yanmeng's husband was really mean and didn't want his wife to get too close to He Xi.

Of course, this kind of gossip can be done if you think about it in your heart. Hua Meng didn't talk about her—and the half a year Wang Yanmeng said was actually similar to what he wanted. The animation of "One Piece" will not be delayed for long. Half a year is more than enough.

This group of people decided their choice in this way. Except for Tomato, everyone else will continue to be the manga assistant, and Wang Yanmeng will give up this job at the latest half a year, and Xi Wenlin will always accompany "Detective Conan" ".

"Wen Lin, it would be great if you left too." When leaving Meng Huo's house, Tomato sighed: "I also plan to prepare a new detective comic! After drawing for so many years, I have drawn the feeling."

"This theme is good." Xi Wenlin's eyes lit up when he heard it. He felt that Tomato's idea was very good. Now there are many detective comics in China, but the quality is generally not high. Tomato's experience in "Detective Conan" is of great significance. Advantage.

"Then will you come and help me?" Tomato smiled and said, "You also dumped Mr. He Xi, the two of us will prepare new comics together."

Xi Wenlin snorted: "Do you think I'm a fool?"

With the thighs of "Detective Conan" in hand, Xi Wenlin has no reason to open a new comic with Tomato, who knows if the new comic will become popular. And even if it becomes popular, it is impossible for it to have the popularity of "Detective Conan"-also as an assistant, Xi Wenlin is not so stupid as to give up He Xi and choose Tomato.

"I will not give up "Detective Conan", but if you really want to draw detective comics, I can introduce you to other reasoning writers." Xi Wenlin said, he knew that several reasoning writers were interested in comics, and introduced them to Tomato , Maybe it can lead to a partner.

At the same time, in Ginza, Tokyo, Bai Yan was inviting two female cartoonists to dinner, and by the way, he was a lobbyist for his own animation studio.

"It's rare for Teacher He Xi to let go, why don't you just give up being his assistants." She had a different stand from the editors. Bai Yan hoped that the two female cartoonists would put down their status as Meng Huo's assistants and work for her. Like them both.

In this world, it is very difficult to find two painters who are so dedicated, talented, smart and obedient, and who suit her taste—these two girls who are assistants in any manga have long been regarded by Bai Yan as his right-hand man, Without them, neither "Dragon and Tiger" nor the current "Sa Top Yousheng" would be so successful.

In the past, Bai Yan was too embarrassed to poach He Xi's corner, but the status of the girls' assistants has always been a thorn in her heart. She often worries that one day He Xi will suddenly think of some new girl manga, and he just needs to call out, Two girls ran off to help him with work—what about her animation?

But after Bai Yan persuaded her for a long time, the two female cartoonists kept their heads down and ate their meals in silence.

Bai Yan frowned, and continued: "Don't you think this kind of life is pretty good now? Animation production is busy, so why bother to draw any manga, that kind of life is so boring!"

Soon, the two female cartoonists finished their meal: "Director, we don't plan to be Teacher He Xi's assistants anymore."

Bai Yan was overjoyed, but the joy was not over, and the two girls started talking again.

"We plan to follow Teacher He Xi's advice and use the experience and skills we have gained from him to become cartoonists!"

"We will debut as a group of cartoonists and directors. In two years, we will let you adapt our comics into animations!"

The two girls were smiling, but what they said made Bai Yan dumbfounded.
