Chapter 34 Finding a Cartoonist

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

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

But I never thought that when Zhu Yuxing opened his mouth, he wanted her to help find a cartoonist.

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

As for my mother as an artist, I may not be in the right profession, but it is definitely more reliable than finding it myself.

"Mother, I have a small business, and now I need some help to draw some posters."

"Yeah, I didn't expect Xiaoxing to start a business. It seems that you have become more and more mature, which makes mother proud."

Takeyou Masako showed a relieved look.

But she soon said: "Since it's a poster, it must be a famous painter. I'll find you a few painters I know. Their level is very good, better than cartoonists. better."

At the level of her mother, the famous painter she said was probably the kind of traditional painter who would be somewhat famous internationally.

And this is not the type that Take Yuxing is looking for.

Zhu Yuxing shook his head quickly after hearing this: "No, mother, I don't need that kind of thing, I need younger painters, my products don't need a high-level painting style, what I need is more fashionable, And, preferably, it's comic style."

Ask a big painter to come and paint a few original paintings for a short period of time.

But what I want is to let people draw original game paintings for themselves 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 someone younger, otherwise if you are too old and hang up halfway, the style of painting will change suddenly It will seriously affect the reputation of the game itself.

And that kind of famous traditional painter, even if his mother has a big face, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to agree to this kind of long-term work.

That kind of painter is not necessarily willing to do this kind of trouble 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 give enough money, they will not refuse.

Cartoonists need to be more commercial.

Moreover, Dragon Quest was originally written by a well-known cartoonist, and Zhu Yuxing has no plans 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 the 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 jumped to the editor-in-chief of the comic magazine. He must have a very suitable candidate."

Going directly to the editor-in-chief to select people made Zhu Youxing's eyes light up.

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

"Doubt? Xiaoxing, you seem to have changed a lot. I haven't seen you for such a long time, and you know that you please your mother. Let me talk more in the future, my mother likes to hear it!"

Takeyou Masako is very happy.

The former Zhu Youxing was somewhat dull, not good at words, and it was quite difficult to hear the child's compliments.

"No problem! Love your mother!"

Hanging up the phone, Zhu Yuxing immediately dialed the phone number her mother had left behind.

On the other end of the phone, Masako Zhuyou was still holding the phone, blinking.

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

Suddenly, the mood today is super!

Daigo Ikeda is a man about 36 and seven years old, his hair has been slightly bald due to long-term work and staying up late.

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

"Teacher Junji has been out of print a lot recently, Oda, you have to pay more attention, otherwise there may be problems."

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

"Idiot, go to his door and squat. If he doesn't show up, you'll keep squatting."

Oda said weakly, "Editor-in-chief, it's winter..."

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

"Okay... okay."

After scolding Oda editor, Ikeda Dawu shook his head helplessly.

Life is not very good now, but some cartoonists and teachers don't cherish it, and he is helpless.

"Recently, isn't the legend of the swordsman of Mr. Tsuchiya still not good?"

At this time, Daigo Ikeda looked at an editor again.

The editor shook his head: "No, now the evaluation has been reduced to a 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... inform Mr. Tugu, and then... let him rest for a while before painting."

When saying these words, Ikeda Daigo seemed a little weak.

Tsuchiya-sensei used to be a manga artist he trained.

After the first manga got very good results, it began to fail.

The so-called debut is the pinnacle.

Five years later, I can only rely on the original capital of the first book, and have never produced any excellent products.

Because of the past dividends, Mr. Tugu can continue to serialize his works until now. If he is a rookie cartoonist, there are not so many opportunities at all. However, the magazine is not a philanthropist, and they have given Mr. Tugu a lot of opportunities.

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

"I'll take a call."

The phone rang to ease the dull atmosphere.

Life is really hard now. Fortunately, no matter how poor people are, they still have money to buy some magazines, so the magazines are living a good life, and they can still have a relatively relaxed atmosphere.

"Mosimoxi, I'm Ikeda Daigo."

"Hello Ikeda-kun, my name is Zhu Yuxing, and I am a game maker. My mother recommended you to me and said that you could help me find a suitable candidate."

Dawu Ikeda: "???"

Ikeda Daigo was confused.

What is the game maker?
your mother recommended?

"Wait, who's your mother?"

Ikeda Daigo suddenly reacted to Take Yusei's surname.

Bamboo tour?

"My mother's name is Masako Takeyou, and she is a painter."

"It turned out to be Mr. Yazi's child. I'm glad you can call. Is Mr. Yazi okay now?"

Ikeda Daigo, who was still somewhat casual at first, suddenly became more energetic.

Masako Takeyou is now a well-known painter abroad.

Before that, Zhuyou Masako was also kind to him and helped him get out of the difficult quagmire.

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

Take Yusei on the other end of the phone said, "My mother is fine now, and she should be holding an exhibition abroad now."

Ikeda Dawu sighed: "Mr. Masako is really powerful, and can make a name for herself as a woman. I have always admired Mr. Masako. By the way, what did you say you need to ask me for, Zhuyou-kun? Please feel free to mention it. , I will not refuse where I can help."

"That's it, I have some products that I need to do some painting promotions, and I think it's better to prefer comic-style paintings, so I want to find a well-known cartoonist to help me do this, of course, The return will also satisfy the other party.”

"Just painting some posters? That's totally fine, I can arrange it for you now."

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