Full-time cartoonist

Chapter 5 Becoming Akira Toriyama’s assistant

Hibiya Hibiki watched Toriyama Kazuhiko's face change from black to livid, and finally turned red.

But he is the editor-in-chief after all, and he has mastered Qi cultivation skills. He changed the subject, "Your drawing skills are very good, and you can serialize them. In the comics industry, you have extraordinary talent. But for the basics of comics, you are only very low-level." cognition.”

Dong Yexiang nodded. The editor in front of him was indeed Bole.

Now that he is the editor-in-chief, he can still focus on the selection of new employees.

Even though he got angry, he still didn't give up.

He is very responsible and is the best candidate to enter the comic industry at this stage.

Higashino thought carefully for a long time. He had no ability and wanted to have a good life.

One is to get into a good university, but after graduation there will be no opportunities and you will only be in the middle class.

The second is literary creation, and cartoonists’ income is among the best in this area, and diction is not important.

In addition, "Higashino Hibiki" has superhuman drawing ability. If he doesn't choose to draw comics, he will waste his resources.

I have classic comic material in my mind.

Waiting for the magic power to be completed and the hidden dragon emerging from the abyss, you can become a popular cartoonist and live a luxurious life.

Looking at Toriyama Kazuhiko who was trying to change the subject in front of him, he discovered that Toriyama Akira was very capable and it couldn't be better to study under him.

"Well, Mr. Torishima, I want to draw comics!" Hibiki Hibiki looked at him sincerely.

"Eh?" Torishima Kazuhiko was stunned.

The person who was so casual just now is suddenly so passionate, his gaze seems to be burning into Torishima Kazuhiko's heart.

He thought that reality was a hot-blooded comic book.

"I'm not young anymore."

He shook his head, feeling sad that he didn't understand the brain circuits of young people.

"Mr. Torishima, please teach me."

Facing Higashino Hibiki like this, Toriyama Kazuhiko kept a straight face and exuded the strong aura of a professional.

"You are different from Toriyama Akira and Katsura Masakazu. The advantages and disadvantages are very obvious." He picked up "The War between Gods and Humans" and turned to the second page. "Look here, everyone only shows half of their face. It's too Uniformity can lead to aesthetic fatigue.

Also, there are so many sentences that it feels more like a novel than a comic. "

He turned to the battle scene again and explained word for word, "The storyboards are used in a confusing manner, and the movement trend is not drawn. The use of movement trajectory lines is very poor."

"The most important thing is that the content is boring!" He patted the comic manuscript, spitting on Hibiki Hibiki's face. "As long as the comic is interesting, even if there are other problems, it can be serialized. And your comic, It’s no fun at all!”

"One thing to say, it's true." Dongye Xiang nodded in agreement.

The boy "Hibiki Higashino" plans to draw comics, not because he loves it very much.

But he also understands that he is falling, and comics are the climbing ropes he has prepared for himself.

In other words, I made a final effort and used my regrets and hopes in an unfamiliar field.

I don’t know if I am burning the boat or giving up on myself.

And his plot creation is really bad.

I happen to have countless memories of classic works, which can perfectly make up for this shortcoming!

"As expected of the editor-in-chief of "VJUMP", he is thought-provoking. Listening to one conversation is worth ten years of reading."

Torishima Kazuhiko glared at him, "Be careful when listening."

He was a little helpless. Seeing Higashino Hibiki's attitude, he didn't show any reluctance at all, like a bystander.

I don’t know if it’s heartless or if I just don’t care.

"In general," his eyes softened, "your problem is that firstly, you have not created excellent content, and secondly, your understanding of drawing comics is very low."

Dong Yexiang nodded obediently and waited quietly for his next words.

"The first point needs to be overcome by yourself."

"As for the second point," Kazuhiko Toshima smiled slightly: "In today's comics industry, the only person who has the deepest understanding of the cutting-edge aspects of comics is that guy."

He has a storyboarding ability that is comparable to that of a movie, and has the most solid basic skills in coloring and using frames for comics. The person who has been making comics for ten years is none other than the author of "Arale" and "Dragon Ball", Akira Toriyama.

In the end, Toriyama Kazuhiko suggested that since it happened to be a holiday, he could help Higashino Hibiki obtain an assistant qualification from Toriyama Akira.

There will also be a salary, including food and accommodation, with a daily salary of 8,000 yen.

"That guy talked to me on the phone recently. He's having a hard time drawing comics alone." Torishima Kazuhiko said with a smile.

Higashikata didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

This is a good opportunity.

After saying goodbye to Toriyama Kazuhiko, Hibiki Higashino asked the waiter and went to a nearby Internet cafe.

In 1993, computer monitors were still big heads, and Hibiki Higashino had not seen him for a long time.

The computer is a PC-98, which is different from the Windows operating system. After studying it for a long time, Hibiki Hibiki was able to use it.

And without a convenient search engine, you can only find useful websites in the URL.

So half an hour later, Hibiki Higashino learned more details about Torishima Kazuhiko.

Same as what he said, excavated Akira Toriyama.

Gui Zhenghe has a keen eye for discerning essence and developed his talent in painting young girls.

Through the photo information in the computer, it is indeed a person.

"I have to thank Torishima Kazuhiko-san."

After that, with 20 minutes left, the game was discovered on the computer.

It's just a text adventure type, and Hibiki Higashino doesn't like it, and he doesn't support playing this type of game in the remaining time. It's over as soon as it starts.

With the interest of exploring "antiques", he searched for other functions on this "backward" computer.

"IGS? What is this?"

After clicking in, it turned out to be an online Go battle platform.

"20 minutes is enough."

He pursed his lips and started a battle with Go enthusiasts around the world.

15 minutes later,

"Tch, this is over."

Shaking his head, he left the computer.

The people nearby were very curious. After looking at Hibiki Hibiki's back, they looked at the screen.

"You're still so arrogant after losing..."

After leaving the Internet cafe, there was a hint of heat in the air. Tokyo in August is the hottest time.

Remembering the sound of the clock chiming the time, Higashikata looked at the big clock aside and was suddenly startled, "No, it's 8 o'clock."

I ran in a hurry, and by the time I got home, it was already 9:20 minutes.

"A bolt from the blue!"

In the living room, the lights were bright, and a sonorous and powerful sound came from the TV.

Dong Yexi was sitting on his knees watching TV. Seeing Dong Yexiang come back out of breath, he scolded slightly: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'm sorry, I'm late, mom."

He sat next to Dong Yexi and watched TV with her.

It's "Volleyball Players".

When he was a child, he also watched this TV series with his mother.

It depicts the story of a group of female middle school students working hard to participate in the volleyball competition of the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

Seeing the innocent little deer Junko leaping high and winning a point with a smash, his eyes were blurred and he cuddled next to his mother, as if he was back when he was a child again.
