"Cartoonist? Why are you looking for a cartoonist?"

Takeyou Masako thought that the child would be short of money, and thought that the child would have a bad life.

But it never occurred to me that Zhu Youxing wanted her to help find a cartoonist when he opened his mouth.

It's not that Zhu Youxing can't find it by himself, but he definitely can't find a suitable one in a short time.

As for my mother who is a painter, she may not be professionally qualified, but it is definitely more reliable than finding her by myself.

"Mother, I have started some small businesses, and now I need some help drawing some posters."

"Ah, I didn't expect Xiaoxing to start a business. It seems that you have become more and more mature. You really make my mother proud."

Takeyu Masako showed a gratified expression.

But soon she said: "Since you are painting posters, you must have a well-known painter. Let me find you some painters I know. They are all very good, better than cartoonists." better."

At the level of my mother, the famous painters she mentioned are probably the kind of traditional painters who are internationally famous.

And this is not the type Zhu Youxing is looking for.

Zhu Youxing shook his head quickly when he heard it: "No, mother, I don't use that kind of painting. What I need is a younger painter. My products don't need a high-end painting style. What I need is a more fashionable one. And, preferably, in a manga style.”

It may be possible to ask a big painter to come and paint a few original paintings for a short time.

But what I want is to let others draw original game paintings for me for a long time.

After all, Dragon Quest is not just one generation of products, but more than a dozen generations of game IP evergreens that have lasted for more than 20 years, so you have to find a younger person, otherwise if you are too old and hang up halfway, the style of painting Sudden changes will seriously affect the reputation of the game itself.

Moreover, for a well-known traditional painter, no matter how good-looking his mother is, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to agree to such a long-term part-time job.

Those kind of painters are not necessarily willing to do this kind of troublesome work for you even if they give you money, they will feel that it is very cheap.

On the contrary, like some cartoonists, as long as they are given enough money, they will not refuse.

Cartoonists are more commercial.

Moreover, Dragon Quest was once a well-known cartoonist's lead writer, and Zhu Youxing does not intend to change anything on this point.

"Well, then I may not have any good candidates to recommend to you, because I really don't know much about the comics industry, but I can give you a contact information, and he may be able to help you."

"who is it?"

"This is the editor of an art magazine in the past. Now it seems that he has switched to a comic magazine as the editor-in-chief. He must have a very suitable candidate under his command."

Go directly to the editor-in-chief to choose people, which made Zhu Youxing's eyes brighten up.

"Mom, you are the best, your suggestion is really good!"

"Suspicious? Xiao Xing, you seem to have changed a lot. I haven't seen you for so long. You know how to please your mother. Tell me more in the future. Mom likes to hear it!"

Takeyu Masako was very happy.

Zhu Youxing used to be somewhat dull, not good at words, and it was quite difficult to hear compliments from children.

"No problem! Love your mother!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Youxing immediately dialed the number left by his mother just now.

On the other end of the phone, Takeyou Masako was still holding the phone, blinking her eyes.

"Xiao Xing, he actually said he loves me?"

Suddenly, today's mood is super good!

Ikeda Daigo is a man of about thirty-six or seventeen years old, his hair has been slightly bald due to long-term work of staying up late.

When he usually goes to work, he likes to wear slippers, and he sits with other editors very casually and chats about the daily life of the cartoonists under him.

"Mr. Chun'er has often suspended publications recently, Oda, you should pay more attention, otherwise there may be problems."

"Oh, editor-in-chief, it's not that you don't know, Mr. Chun Er is always missing, and now I can't find where he is."

"Stupid, squat at the door of his house. If he doesn't show up, you will keep squatting."

Oda said weakly: "Editor-in-Chief, it's winter now..."

"What's wrong with winter?" Ikeda Daigo stared, "Our job is to be responsible for the teachers and readers, and to buy some gifts, which will be reimbursed by the magazine society."

"Okay... okay."

After criticizing editor Oda, Daigo Ikeda shook his head helplessly.

Life is not very good now, but there are a few cartoonists and teachers who don't cherish it, and he is also very helpless.

"Recently, Mr. Tsuchiya's legend of the swordsman still doesn't work?"

Ikeda Daigo looked at another editor at this time.

The editor shook his head: "No, the current evaluation has been reduced to the half-cut line. In fact, it should have been cut off this week."

"Hey...let's stick to it for another month, if it still doesn't work... then tell Mr. Tsuchiya, and then... let him rest for a while before painting."

When he said this, Ikeda Daigo seemed a little weak.

Mr. Tsuchiya was once a manga artist he trained.

After the first manga got very good grades, it began to slump.

The so-called debut is the pinnacle.

In the past five years, I still can only rely on the old book of the first book, and have never produced any excellent products.

Because of the dividends in the past, Mr. Tsuchiya can continue to serialize his works until now. If he is a new cartoonist, he will not have so many opportunities. However, the magazine is not a philanthropist, and they have already given Mr. Tsuchiya many opportunities.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy, but at this moment Daigo Ikeda's cell phone rang.

"I'll take a call."

The ringing of the phone relieved the dull atmosphere somewhat.

Life is really hard now. Fortunately, no matter how poor people are, they still have money to buy some magazines, so the magazine office is doing well, and there is still a relatively relaxed atmosphere.

"Moshi Moshi, I'm Daigo Ikeda."

"Hello Ikeda-san, my name is Zhuyouxing, I am a game maker, my mother recommended you to me, saying that you can help me find a suitable candidate."

Ikeda Daigo: "???"

Ikeda Daigo was at a loss.

What is a game maker?

Your mother recommended?

"Wait a minute, who is your mother?"

Daigo Ikeda suddenly realized Zhu Youxing's surname.

bamboo tour?

"My mother is Masako Takeyu, a painter."

"It turned out to be Masako's child. I'm glad you can call. How is Masako now?"

Ikeda Daigo, who was still a little casual at first, suddenly became energetic.

Takeyou Masako is now a well-known foreign painter.

And before that, Takeyou Masako also kindly helped him out of the difficult quagmire.

So when he heard that it was Masako's child, he became very serious.

Zhu Youxing on the other end of the phone said: "My mother is fine now, and she should be holding a painting exhibition abroad."

Ikeda Daigo sighed: "Ms. Masako is really powerful. She can make a name for herself as a woman. I have always admired Mr. Masako. By the way, just now, Mr. Takeyou, you said that you need to ask me for something? Please feel free to ask me." , I will not refuse where I can help."

"It's like this. I have some products that need to be promoted with some paintings, and I think it's best to draw in a comic style, so I want to find a famous cartoonist to help me with this. Of course, The return will also satisfy the other party.”

"Is it just to draw some posters? This is completely fine, I can help you arrange it now."

Zhu Youxing shook his head at this time: "No, it's not just drawing posters. If possible, I hope to be a cartoonist who can cooperate with me for a long time. In the future, I also hope that the other party can help me draw texts such as formula books."
