Gotta Go the Healing Route

The fast pace is often at the expense of the follow-up development. With such a fast pace, if the follow-up plot is not well grasped, it is very likely to collapse.

Of course, Kitaoka Akira never dreamed that Kazama Yuki's solution would be to simply end the work.

"Slow down the rhythm...I know you want to set the ending as Ya Shenyue and L to decide the outcome. If this is the case, it can be judged that Ya Shenyue won, and then arrange a new one for Yagami opponent..."

There are many ways to make the story longer and the plot continue to develop.

After fighting a BOSS, just arrange a new BOSS, change the map constantly, and even keep the story going.

Hearing Kitaoka Kounari's words, Kazama Yuki couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Kitaoka, I draw evil manga. Of course, I must win with a tight story rhythm. It is the way of benevolent manga after laying the groundwork and accumulating. If I draw like that, I will definitely not be able to achieve the current success."

"Besides, if a story is forced to be drawn, it will be a zombie surviving by squeezing its vitality and interest."

"I'm not going to let that happen."

Although the voice was as flat as ever, Kazama Xi's tone was extremely decisive.

How did something like this unfinished masterpiece happen? It just didn’t end when it was supposed to end, which led to the collapse of the setting and the collapse of the characters in order to develop the follow-up plot.

There is an example that is still fresh in Kazama Xi's memory - "Stealing Stars and September Sky".

As the first batch of works that can be said to be the light of Shang Guoman, this comic may be the childhood memory of many people today.

Excellent settings and interesting plots have allowed this comic to accumulate a large number of fans."Stealing Stars" in the early and mid-term was definitely one of the most popular Chinese comics in China at that time.

However, I don't know when it started, the pursuit of stealing stars gradually disappeared.

Big BOSS one after another.Lucifer, then K, then the spirit, and finally what kind of ancient giant?The blame never ends.The long plot caused the characters of the protagonist group to gradually collapse, and various settings and combat power were changed in the later stage.

Since then, "Stealing Stars" has died and turned into a zombie that relies on IP and fans for profit.

Although "Death Note" was also suspected of being forced to draw in the later stage, at least it didn't reach the level of Zhou.

In short, in this different time and space, Kazama Xi would never let her copied works become like this.

Authors can compromise, if it's for the reader's sake.But if it is for profit and money, it should never be.

"The editorial department has decided to promote the "Death Note" radio drama, and the fan fiction will invite a well-known suspense novelist in the industry to be the lead writer. Even the animation project of "Death Note" has been put on the agenda. If it ends here, at most one It’s a pity to be able to do one season of content for this popular work.”

"Mr. Kazama, if you can get copyright remuneration, you will lose a lot of money."

"That's it, Kitaoka-san."

Kazama Xi stood up from the sofa.

"I will not forcefully draw "Death Note". I respect you very much and thank you for your support. Therefore, I will explain this matter to you face to face."

Seeing the boy with an extremely serious expression, Akira Kitaoka was speechless for a moment.

After a while, Kitaoka shook his head and sighed.

"If you think so, Kazama-kun, and you've made up your mind, then Shueisha naturally has nothing to say..."

In any case, it is impossible for Shueisha to force an author to create.Moreover, he is still a popular author with great potential who was finally discovered.

"But...to be honest, in my eyes, Kazama-kun, your decision is extremely impulsive and irrational..."

Kitaoka Akira stared at the young man in front of him. When he visited half a year ago, this young man left a deep impression on him.

Not only because of the talent and self-confidence in the manga, but also because of the calmness of the boy far beyond his peers.

But... this decision is still too impulsive.

"Even if a talented cartoonist draws a dazzling work, his second work is likely to be cut in half."

"Great works... popular comics are not so easy to appear. Even geniuses can hardly produce excellent works one after another."

"At that time, there were not a few cartoonists who were hit hard because they couldn't catch up with the light of the previous work."

"That's why I say we should cherish every popular comic, because its birth is so hard-won."

"Will not...."

The boy's crisp voice rang in Beigang Akira's ears.

Looking up, the boy Sunshine Junlang's face was full of confidence.

"Starting on the road of comics, the works I really want to create have not yet been realized."

"What do you really want to create?"

"En." The boy's smile was warm and warm, just like his words.

"I want to create a work that exposes 'love' next."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The annual meeting of Shueisha is over.

Because it was already late at night, Kazama Xi did not return to Kyoto in a hurry, but stayed directly at the Kanna Hotel where the annual meeting was held for one night.Opening the room is naturally in the name of Shueisha, and can be reimbursed.

On the second day, Kazama Xi was not in a hurry to go back.

There are still one or two days left for the New Year holiday, so it is a pleasant thing to go shopping in Tokyo, and by the way, you can buy some gifts here to take home.

The guide is of course Aster Uemura.

Shueisha is also on vacation these few days. As a native of Tokyo, Aster Uemura took Kazama Yui to play here for half a day, and then went back to Kyoto with him.

Half a day couldn't finish the huge Tokyo, so the two simply went shopping in the Shinjuku area next to the hotel to buy gifts that Kazama Xi brought to his family.

Anyway, if there is no accident, Kazama Xi will move to Tokyo in a few months, and there will still be a lot of opportunities to play at that time.

Vacationing is a luxury for professional cartoonists.Cartoonists are far from being called freelancers, and their working hours are more terrifying than 996.But Kazama Xi was an exception.Goldfinger allows him to easily complete the current serialization tasks without a studio and assistants, leaving a large part of free time.

"Mr. Xi will graduate in two months. If you come here to study, what do you think about the high school you will attend?"

Walking on the commercial street of Shinjuku [-]-chome, Yu Kazama and Aster Uemura are like a pair of siblings, chatting while shopping.

Studying across cities is quite common in Kana.

As the center of the country, Tokyo has very high-quality educational resources, and many people from other places come here to study.

Of course, high-quality educational resources also mean that the barriers to entry are very high.Many prestigious schools have their own separate admissions exams, which are much more difficult than the average standard.

In addition, there are many private high schools.Although it is much worse than those famous schools in the same city, at least it can guarantee the quality of education.

Enrollment in such a school is not so strict, and you can enter by paying a large sum of money.

Those who transferred schools halfway like Wu Shanyun were arranged by Shueisha.So the transfer process was completed in just one week.

"Because Shueisha is the first time to sign an underage manga artist like you, and the above has specially arranged a subsidy project for this."

"All the expenses of studying and transferring, even tuition fees can be reimbursed."

Cartoonists work hard, but the various welfare subsidies during the serialization period are also the most superior.

Manga artists can basically be reimbursed for renting a house in Tokyo and renting a studio.

"There is still a place to live in, rent a studio, hire assistants and so on. Take advantage of this opportunity, you put forward all your needs, and I will make arrangements for you in advance." Uemura Ziwan patted her chest and said Vice 'Leave everything to me' performance.

Changing life in another city, moving and finding a place to stay are all troublesome things, and it is very common to waste a lot of time on this.Here comes the editor's responsibilities and usefulness.

Kazama Xi smiled and nodded, "I will trouble Sister Ziwan then."

"I don't need to bother you about the school. I already have a choice. I will come here to take their entrance exam."

"If you live in an apartment, the most common youth apartment is fine, and it's best to arrange it in Taito District. For a studio, a standard one is fine, and please arrange it not far from your residence."

Aster Uemura nodded slightly, while writing down what Yu Kazama said.

"As for the assistants... To be honest, I don't know anything about it, but I think two or three will be enough."

"As for finding assistants, we editors naturally have our own channels. Don't worry about Mr. Xi. But there is no subsidy for the assistant's salary, and you can only pay it yourself."

"Generally speaking, an assistant is paid 7000 Shennai coins a day, and 21 Shennai coins a month."

Converted into RMB, it is about more than 1 a month.However, this remuneration can only be regarded as an ordinary level in a metropolis like Tokyo.But with Feng Jianxi's current worth, he wouldn't care about the small tens of thousands.

"I see, I'll leave it to Sister Ziwan to make arrangements for you."

"Don't worry, you are satisfied."

"But there's one more thing..."

Uemura Aster paused.

"You also mentioned to me yesterday that you want to finish "Death Note"."

"Oh?" Kazama Xi looked at Uemura Ziwan.

"I told the deputy editor, he is a stubborn guy, he can't say anything. So this matter can only be raised with the editor, but it may take several days to have a result."

It seems that Akira Kitaoka has not told Aster Uemura what happened last night.

Kazama Xi thought, then raised her head.

"Speaking of which, Sister Ziwan, what do you think... To be honest, my decision seems a bit willful to you."

"Arbitrariness... There are indeed enough willful ones."

Uemura Aster sighed.

"Popular comics are not Chinese cabbage. It will be over as soon as it is finished. Hearing this news, the entire comic world will be shocked."

Right now, "Death Note" and "The Bond of the Lingzhu" are indeed the two most concerned works.After all, the three major national comics have been out for so long, and the attention and discussion have long since stabilized.

"If I were a senior executive at Shueisha, I would try my best to let you continue to draw this work. But as an editor at the bottom..."

"Honestly, I've always believed that the role of an editor is to make the author's work better. From that perspective, I think your decision to want to finish is very normal."

"As you say, the story is best when it ends at its perfect time."

"The author only needs to be responsible to the readers and his own works, I understand very well, so don't worry, I'm on your side..."

Hearing Aster Uemura's words, Yu Kazama sighed inwardly.

Fortunately, Uemura Ziwan, who has just entered the industry, has such thoughts.

The gap between ideal and reality is often greater than imagined. In any industry, over time, the original intention will be gradually obliterated.

If my editor is an old fritter who has been around for many years, let alone supporting the author, I am afraid that I have racked my brains and tried my best to let the author continue to draw.

Kazama Xi had already thought about this situation when he decided to draw manga, so he asked the editor to ask for younger ones.
