Gotta Go the Healing Route

"Amazing...."

Walking on the sidewalk beside the park, after a brief silence, Matsunaga Jing, who was slightly introverted, spoke first.

"Ms. Kazama is really amazing..."

Although there is never a shortage of geniuses in this world, sometimes the appearance of being too young really makes people suspicious.Even if Kazama Yuki explained that she was the enigmatic and popular manga artist Ubetsu Tomo, apart from Fujino Toshiyuki, the first reactions of Matsunaga Shizu and Nishikawa Yusuke were still unbelievable.

But when they were working together the next day, Kazama Xi dispelled all doubts by showing off on the spot.

The figure paintings made by hand, superb landscape skills.And in Matsunaga Jing's view, the Korachi-style set is very skilled. Who knows the skilled and exquisite superb painting skills mastered by that boy.

"Ms. Kazama said before that he was studying in Kyoto, that is to say, he completed such a masterpiece as "Death Note" while taking into account his studies?"

Fujino Toshiyuki nodded: "Miss Uemura Ziwan told me before that this is the first time Kazama-sensei has set up a studio. Otherwise, with the current influence of the name Yubiechao, the studio should have spread in the circle long ago. So it must be true."

Completed the creation of "Death Note" independently, which is an unimaginable feat.

After all, Dead Pen is famous for its delicate and exquisite painting style, as well as the beauty of the characters.It is closer to reality than a muscular man, and it is a clear stream in the realist school.Realistic painting is the most difficult and time-consuming in a comic style.

Painting skills are one aspect, and what is even more rare is the structure of the story.Although cartoonists will prepare outlines before their works are serialized.But the outline and the specific story are completely different things.Many cartoonists will worry about the development of the story in a week.Stories of the type of wits are obviously more mentally consuming.

"I really want to be a manga artist like Kazama-sensei..." Yusuke Nishikawa made an envious voice.

Regarding Nishikawa Yusuke's exclamation, Matsunaga Jing nodded in agreement.

Adding the suffix "teacher" after the name is generally used to express respect for teachers and creators.But as a cartoonist, the cartoonist assistant will never get the honorific title of this suffix.

It is the wish of each assistant to become a real manga artist who can serialize his own works in publications.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and the same applies to manga assistants.

In fact, the life of an assistant is generally very difficult.Failed to win the serialization rights, and went around to work as assistants for various cartoonists to earn living expenses and avoid starvation.

This is not considered a permanent job, because of the fluidity and instability, this job is not even as good as working in a convenience store to some extent.

In this difficult environment, only the cheap ones are also the only precious ones. The dream of becoming a serial cartoonist supports many assistants in this prosperous city.

Not only to rely on my own ability to earn living expenses to support myself, but also to learn while working as a cartoonist's assistant.

As a rapidly rising cartoonist known in the circle for his painting style and story structure, countless people want to fight for the position of assistant in the studio of "Rain Bie Chao", thinking that he can learn a few things from this emerging boss.

Ms. Matsunaga Jing and Nishikawa Yusuke were undoubtedly very pleasantly surprised to be selected by Kazama Xi's editor, Ms. Uemura.Besides, the remuneration is very lucrative, and because of Kazama's amazing completion rate, the workload is greatly reduced.The two of them really feel that they are very lucky.

"The only pity is that Mr. Kazama's painting style has changed in this "Magic Circle". I originally wanted to learn the painting style of "Death Note"." Yusuke Nishikawa said with a smack.

"However, speaking of which, Mr. Fujino, your drawing skills are also very superb..."

Dare to ask for three times the salary in front of the employer is naturally outstanding. Toshiyuki Fujino has a very high status in the circle of assistants. Many cartoonists respect this unassuming middle-aged man very much.

In addition to the qualifications accumulated in the circle for more than ten years, it is also due to the superb painting skills honed for such a long time.

"With such great painting skills, why doesn't Mr. Fujino participate in the monthly rewards and grab the right to serialize?"

After being in the circle for nearly a year, Yusuke Nishikawa is no different from a newcomer in Toshiyuki Fujino, and he is still very curious about the seniors in the circle.

"Nishikawa-kun..."

Matsunaga Jing on the side couldn't help but speak, Nishikawa Yusuke's question seemed a bit rude to others.

But Toshiyuki Fujino didn't mind.

"There's nothing wrong with that kind of thing."

While shaking his head, Toshiyuki Fujino spread his hands.

"Because I don't have the talent to be a cartoonist. So I accepted my fate early."

"No talent?" Nishikawa Yusuke was slightly taken aback.

In his eyes, Toshiyuki Fujino's drawing skills are completely at the level of a professional cartoonist.If this is not talent, what are others.

As if seeing Yusuke Nishikawa's puzzled expression, Toshiyuki Fujino sighed.

"Mr. Nishikawa, you may have misunderstood something. The talent I'm talking about is not about painting."

Toshiyuki Fujino looked up at the dark, starless night sky.

"In fact, things like painting skills can be made up for by hard work. Like Mr. Xi Chuan, your skills can reach my current level after four or five years of polishing."

"The so-called talent is something that cannot be obtained even with hard work. This difference is also the difference between a real cartoonist and an assistant."

"What's the meaning..."

"I mean, the ability to create a story and the ability to tell a good story."

Fujino Toshiyuki turned his head and showed Nishikawa Yusuke a slightly bitter smile.

"Actually, I stayed in Teacher Jianyi's studio a long time ago."

Teacher Jianyi is the author of "Sword Fighting Soul".As the leading cartoonist, Jianyi Studio is the top in the industry.

"Have you ever been Teacher Jianyi's assistant?!"

Nishikawa Yusuke's eyes lit up, but after realizing it, he was relieved.With Toshiyuki Fujino's qualifications, he should have worked in many well-known manga studios.

"Yes, I worked under Teacher Jianyi for a period of time. At that time, I felt that I had almost honed my painting skills. So I resigned with Teacher Jianyi full of confidence and went to participate in the monthly reward at that time."

"That was the first time I participated in the monthly reward, and the result was obvious... I failed, and it was a fiasco."

"But it's just a failure. It can't be said that Mr. Fujino has no talent." Nishikawa Yusuke couldn't help comforting him.

Toshiyuki Fujino shook his head and said, "Of course it's nothing to fail once. Even if it's the monthly reward for beginners, there are many people who fail several times."

"After returning home in a state of embarrassment, I tried again for several monthly rewards. The third time, under the guidance of an editor, I finally succeeded."

"That is to say, Mr. Fujino has also serialized it?" Matsunaga Jing was originally just listening in, but at this moment he couldn't help but speak.

"In fact, I gave up the chance to serialize on my own initiative." Toshiyuki Fujino touched his nose.

"Why?!" Yusuke Nishikawa asked loudly incomprehensibly.

"That's the reason I said, I don't have talent." Toshiyuki Fujino smiled.

"I find the stories of the short comics difficult to control, but what about the medium and long stories? When I thought of this at the time, I immediately put it down."

"Of course, the main reason is that my girlfriend who lived with me was pregnant at the time. Even if I can serialize, I don't think I can serialize for a long time. It's better to get a stable salary under the teacher's hand than that."

"Even serial cartoonists are not necessarily glamorous... Leaving aside the busyness and pressure. In fact, the situation of many serial cartoonists is even more embarrassing than that of assistants."

"The crisis of being cut in half is always hanging over your head. Who knows what your future will be. This kind of torture is constantly squeezing the cartoonists. Although this is a process of washing the sand with big waves, most of the sand will eventually turn into powder."

"Compared to that, the job of an assistant is very good. There is not so much pressure, and the money I earn now is actually no worse than that of ordinary office workers..."

As he spoke, Toshiyuki Fujino suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"I'm sorry to say such depressing words to you. In fact, the dreams of you young people are far more precious than my stagnant mentality. Before there are enough challenges, you can't give up lightly."

"Originally, I wouldn't say such things, not to mention that I haven't known you for long, Mr. Nishikawa and Ms. Matsunaga. But these days, I have mixed feelings, so I just said all of them out of nowhere."

"I think it's Mr. Kazama who makes me feel complicated."

"Ms. Kazama is different from me. On the contrary, his talent is shocking."

"A funny story is something we take for granted. Even after dissecting it, it's like, 'That's okay, if I didn't think of this idea.'"

"It's like doing a difficult problem. Before you know the solution, you can't think of the answer. But after you know the solution, you will feel suddenly enlightened. I didn't expect it to be so simple."

"But the process of getting the solution itself is a process of proving the gap. It is also the most difficult process."

"Just like "The Magic Circle", the theme of magical girls can be so ingenious, drawing a story beyond everyone's imagination."

"But the success and strength of this work is that it exceeds everyone's expectations and breaks the fixed thinking that binds most readers. Whether it can break the rules is the best proof of talent."

"Kazama-kun's "Magic Circle" is the best embodiment of talent. In fact, what he broke is more thorough than the previous "Death Note" in my opinion."

When it came to the work of the past four days and the latest episode of "Magic Circle", the three of them fell silent instantly.

As participants in the manga, the three of them were the ones who knew the details of the latest chapter earlier than the editor Uemura Aster.As a painter, when participating in the production, I can feel the shock brought by the story even more.

Reminiscent of the plot of the Magic Circle, Matsunaga Jing and Nishikawa Yusuke immediately felt how correct Fujino Toshiyuki's argument about "talent" was.

After all, is that really a story that normal people can come up with?

There is absolutely no precedent for the depressing series in the industry, and cartoonists are basically aiming at positive energy and blood.

Even if there were evil comics before, they were just evil with a slanted sword, and their views were a bit extreme and dark.

Before, absolutely no one dared to press the story of despair and depravity on the readers' faces.

If there is no wonderful story and setting, most readers will definitely not be able to accept this kind of work that tests psychological endurance.

However, now this precedent has been opened, and the entry point is the magical girl theme that is the most defenseless and the most capable of completely destroying people's fixed concepts in people's minds.

"Breaking the rules, cutting in reverse..."

Nishikawa Yusuke was thoughtful.

"The most basic condition for an excellent comic is to be able to arouse readers' empathy. Wangdao comics use passionate stories to arouse readers' emotions. In fact, it can also be operated in reverse..."

Master Kazama Xi, I seem to have realized it.

Chapter 130 Six Inner Skirt 8 6 9 0 6 2 9 5 2

As Yu Kazama's assistant, Toshiyuki Fujino, discussed in private, there is a huge difference in style between the manga of "Magic Circle" and jump, and even various manga magazines in the industry today.

Most comics are born to satisfy the imagination of readers.Especially Wangdao comics, readers will often substitute into the protagonist of the comics, referred to as "secondary".It is undeniable that most of the teenagers' secondary illnesses are actually influenced by manga or anime.

The empathy generated by the sense of substitution is the commonality of the current excellent kingly works.

However, "Magic Circle" is different.

Even in "Death Note", which is considered to be the work of the rise of evil, the two protagonists with amazing wisdom and execution ability can make readers feel a sense of substitution.Imagine yourself as Moon or L using resourcefulness to fight.

But as far as the magic circle is concerned... which role do you want to take on?

Let’s not talk about the magical girl character that only little girls would long for. Now, apart from the main character Madoka Kamu who is like a mascot, the other main characters, the senior sister directly cuts off her head and collar, and the second girl’s blue hair is even green on the top of her head. to be broken.

Except for masochistic readers, no one will take the initiative to substitute for the situation of the main character.

But the generation of the sense of substitution, in addition to allowing readers to substituting the story subjectively, has another route: using touching stories to arouse readers' inner resonance.

There is one necessary condition for going this route: realism.Without a certain sense of reality, readers also subconsciously think that this is a false story, and they will not intervene in emotion at all.

It has to be said that finding a sense of reality in the virtual world is the most difficult.

To achieve this step, there are two basic prerequisites:
