Gotta Go the Healing Route

"I'll do my best."

The two stopped briefly at the bookshelf in the hallway before stepping into the living room.

In Nuoda's room, the dilapidated tatami mats had been dismantled three days ago and replaced with brand new ones.The walls with some yellow-brown markings have also been painted with white rice points.It looks brand new.

In the middle is a rectangular coffee table with long sofas on both sides.On both sides of the wall are four tables with lamps.

A large desk is located on the south side of Xiangyang, on which there is a drawing board and many comic creation tools.Next to the desk is a vertical printer.

This is already a decent comic studio.It almost completely restored Kazama Xi's imagination of the studio in his mind.

"The bathroom is in the room on the right, and on the left is a cubicle with a small bed. If one day you have to rush to draft, you can rest there directly."

"Could you just crush someone to death in the studio when you're rushing to draft? Sister Ziwan is really considerate..."

Uemura Aster picked up on Kazama Yuki's words:

"I also look forward to having the opportunity to press Mr. Xi for the manuscript, but it will probably be very difficult."

"In short, can this studio satisfy our great manga artist, Mr. Yubechao?"

"satisfy."

Kazama Xi nodded.

"Extremely satisfied."

"Well, the next step is to meet with those assistants. If you are satisfied, this matter will be settled."

Today is Saturday, and the assistants contacted by Aster Uemura will come here to apply for the job.

With more than half an hour before the appointed time, Xi Kazama and Aster Uemura sat on the sofa and chatted casually.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door of the studio. Aster Uemura went to open the door, and walked in with two men and a woman after a while.

The two men and one woman are a bearded uncle, a thin young man about 22 or 19 years old, and a [-]-year-old man with long braids, round eyes, and a bit of a smile on his face. Freckled young woman.

When Kazama Xi was sitting on the sofa and looking at the three of them, the three of them were also looking at Kazama Xi.

Compared to Feng Jianxi's calmness, the faces of the three of them were more or less surprised.

There is no doubt that this handsome young man who looks like a high school student is their employer this time.

"Don't rain on the teacher?"

The braided girl couldn't help but make a sound, wanting to confirm this matter.

Both online and offline, it is well-known that the real identity of the talented cartoonist who debuted half a year ago is a vicissitudes old man.The three became tigers, and the braided girl subconsciously thought that Yu Biechao was really an uncle.

But I didn't expect that what I saw here was a boy who was obviously younger than me, and what's more, he was a little handsome.

"Yu Bie Chao is indeed my pen name."

Kazama Xi stood up from the sofa and gave a definite answer.

"Is it really Teacher Yubiechao, who is so young?"

The somewhat skinny young man couldn't help but exclaimed. His thoughts were similar to those of the girl next to him, and he was obviously misled by rumors.

On the contrary, the middle-aged man looked very mature and stable, and after a little surprise, he immediately smiled.

"Although I heard from Mr. Ogata that Mr. Yubiechao is not very old, I didn't expect him to be so young."

"Teacher Ogata?"

"It's the author of "Fauci Boy", Mr. Ogata Riya. Mr. Ogata also went to the annual meeting of Shueisha before and met you. I also heard him mention it by chance."

Kazama Xi nodded, thinking about it.At the previous annual meeting, when he was chatting with Guiye Yashu and Zhicheng, there was indeed such a cartoonist who came to say hello.

"So, are you..."

The three of them came together, but it was normal.The circle of cartoonists is small, and the circle of cartoonist assistants is not that big.

Because of the cut-in-half system, studios are disbanded basically every month.Employers are cut in half and assistants are fired.Therefore, assistants who have worked in the circle for several years often know each other.

And those two young people had a middle-aged man as their main backbone, and it could be seen that it was not just because of the man's age.It should also be because the man is quite famous in the circle of assistants.

"This is Toshiyuki Fujino. It's my first time meeting you. It's a great honor to meet you, a rising star in the manga circle of Kanna Kingdom."

Although Feng Jianxi is now considered a celebrity in the circle due to her achievements, she is still not very familiar with the people in the circle.After all, he was in Kyoto before, away from Tokyo, the headquarters of most cartoonists.Not to mention the circle of assistants.

"Hello." Kazama Yuki nodded to Toshiyuki Fujino, and then cast her gaze at Aster Uemura.

Miss Ziwan immediately understood, and introduced: "Mr. Minzhi is well-known in the circle, and his skills are superb, even comparable to many serial cartoonists. He has been in the circle for more than ten years and has very rich experience. Many teachers are familiar with it. What helper do you want to invite?"

"I heard that Mr. Minzhi is free and sent out an invitation, but I didn't expect Mr. Minzhi to actually agree."

"Hahaha, after all, I am also the father of two children. I want to earn some money for milk powder. Teacher Ogata's work was cut in half last month. I have nowhere to go. I don't know what to do for a while. Faced with There is no reason to refuse Fengwo's reward. Besides, it is a talented manga artist like Teacher Yubiechao."

After Toshiyuki Fujino spoke his name, the two young people next to him introduced themselves.

The boy's name is Nishikawa Yusuke, and he is a college student who graduated from an art major.Although he has been in the industry for less than a year, he has made a name for himself with technology.

The girl is Matsunaga Jing, who worked for a long time under the author of a magical girl manga, and is good at girly and cute paintings.

The professionalism of the people Aster Uemura recruited is not a problem. After getting to know each other, it is time to negotiate salary.

"Mr. Yubiechao, I believe Ms. Uemura also mentioned to you that my salary is higher than that of ordinary assistants. It is [-] kana coins a day."

The salaries of assistants are generally settled on a daily basis. Firstly, it is affected by the cut-in-half system. Who knows if your employer will be cut in half after half a month.Secondly, it is because Yichao comics are carried out on a weekly basis.Generally speaking, the time that assistants are required to work is only four or five days a week.

As for ordinary assistants, the daily salary is about [-] to [-] Shennai coins.The combination of RMB is about four hundred yuan.Toshiyuki Fujino's asking price is two to three times that of ordinary assistants.

Hearing Fujino Toshiyuki's words, Kazama Xi nodded after thinking for a while.Money is second, quality of work is the most important.

"I believe that Mr. Fujino will not make me feel worthless."

"Well, I'll try my best to meet Teacher Yubiechao's expectations."

After negotiating the salary of Toshiyuki Fujino, to the remaining two assistants.The quotations of Matsunaga Jing and Nishikawa Yusuke are quite satisfactory, at [-] kana coins a day, which is considered a very common asking price.

"You don't need to call me Teacher Yubiechao anymore. My real name is Feng Jianxi." Feng Jianxi said.

"Everyone can call me by my name during work."

"Then, if you don't mind, I'm going to order everyone now..."

The first thing is to be familiar with the style of the works Yu Kazama is currently painting.

Kazama Xi took out the figure drawing she brought over from her bag.

The magic circle has been serialized for so long, and the three of them should have studied the character design of the magic circle after receiving the invitation from Aster Uemura.But a more detailed character setting map will undoubtedly help the three of them get familiarized and drawn faster and more comprehensively.

The painting style of the small round face of the character is not complicated among the various painting styles created by many authors.At least, the difficulty of copying is much easier than "Death Note".

The key is how to draw the witch.

"Even if there is a set drawing, it is really difficult to draw a witch... After all, it involves the most complicated cubist and abstract painting styles."

Yusuke Nishikawa, who graduated from the art department, saw the relevant setting pictures of the witch, his eyes lit up, but then he shook his head.

"Indeed...it's difficult..." Song Yongjing also echoed softly.

Having experience in drawing magical girls, she is basically familiar with the cute style.But only the witch's style of painting that tests imagination is really difficult to reproduce.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it myself when the time comes." Hearing the sighs of the two, Kazama Xi explained.

"Next is the background style." Kazama Xi took out a few more background pictures.

Seeing the three seriously studying the setting diagram, Xi Kazama nodded in satisfaction, then cleared her throat and said:

"Look at it first, I'll talk about some of my requirements here."

"One is that smoking is not allowed in my studio. If you are addicted to cigarettes, you can smoke outside the studio."

"The second is that you can discuss in the studio, but you can't shout."

"The third is... To be honest, I still have my studies, so please don't spread the word about my identity."

After Kazama Xi finished her request, the three of them responded affirmatively.

After reading the drawing, Toshiyuki Fujino, who has been silent all the time, also began to show his value for money.

"Everyone should have finished reading Kazama-sensei's drawing, so let's arrange work now. Ms. Matsunaga will draw a character picture later. I know you are very good at drawing girls' templates. If Kazama-sensei is satisfied, you will I was responsible for drawing the lines for the characters.”

"Nishikawa-kun is mainly responsible for the background and textures. This is the basic skill, so there should be no problem. If you don't mind the coloring, please leave it to me. I have quite experience in this. Of course, I will also do the character drawing and background. helpful"

In fact, in a studio, each assistant also has a division of labor. Some people draw lines on characters, while others add backgrounds.But the really powerful ones are those who can coordinate the overall situation.

The copies of the three of them were handed in, and it could be seen that they had done their homework before, and Kazama Xi was very satisfied.

So Kazama Xi's studio began to officially operate.

Four days later, the latest episode of the studio version of "The Magic Circle" was released.

PS: The 4K chapter can be regarded as a two-in-one chapter.Some things will be scolded if they are divided into two chapters.

Chapter 130 Master, I have realized

The sun had already set on the mountain, and with the thin gray light in the sky dissipating, night fell completely.But even the darkness cannot cover the city's brilliance.The lights were turned on early, making the city of Tokyo far more eye-catching than during the day.

The evening wind blows on the path, making the surrounding leaves rustle.In the park on one side, the branches and leaves are faintly visible under the soft street lights, as if hiding the elves of the night.

The air is quite fresh, which makes people who walk here feel much better.Especially after get off work, the migrant workers who have finished their busy day.

"Are you going to go straight home, or are you going to play somewhere else?"

Coming out of the studio, looking at Yusuke Nishikawa and Shizuka Matsunaga beside him, Toshiyuki Fujino said.

Kazama Xi's studio has been in operation for four days since its establishment, and the three of them are now getting acquainted at work.Today is the deadline for their employer, and the week's work was successfully completed, so they left work early.

"I'm going to go home directly." Song Yongjing said softly, her head lowered slightly.During the four days, the other two also knew about the slightly introverted character of this young girl.

"I'm also planning to go back directly." Nishikawa Yusuke and Matsunaga Jing had the same idea.

"How about you, Mr. Fujii?"

"I finally found an employer and I have time. I'm going to have a drink to celebrate."

Toshiyuki Fujino said with a smile: "Actually, if you have nothing to do at night, why not come with me? I know a very good izakaya. Take it as my treat."

Matsunaga shook his head and thanked softly without hesitation, while Nishikawa Yusuke also declined the invitation after a little thought.

Seeing this, Toshiyuki Fujino didn't say anything, just shrugged, and the three of them walked side by side towards the station.

When people get together and have nothing to do, the silence is always unbearable.
