Conan: I can extract talent

To say that among the editors and writers in the comic industry, there are actually handsome guys and beauties, but not many, Takada Kyoko is definitely a beauty.
The reason why Nomoto Taro appeared here is also for Takada Kyoko, who can be regarded as a loyal suitor of Takada Kyoko.
Today, Kyoko Takada changed her personality, and she hurried out when she knew that she was coming, which made Taro Nomoto smile unconsciously, and immediately forgot the existence of Wen Haochen around him.
Who knew that Takada Kyoko didn’t notice Taro Nomoto at all, walked directly to Wen Haochen’s side, and said anxiously, “Mr. Wen Haochen, fortunately you haven’t left yet.”
“Editor Takata, what’s the matter?” Wen Haochen had a good impression of this female editor, and his attitude was naturally very polite.
“That’s right, I was so excited just now that I forgot to sign the contract with you. Please come back with me and let’s sign the contract.” Kyoko Takata said a little embarrassedly.
“Your paintings are really good, it’s like creating a whole new genre. It’s the first time I’ve seen such wonderful ideas, so I was a little excited for a while, and I forgot the business. Please forgive me.”
Wen Haochen didn’t know much about the rules in this regard. He thought that after delivering the comics to the weekly magazine, he would just wait for the money.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
But the previous contract didn’t take long, so Wen Haochen smiled and nodded: “It’s okay, it’s okay, then let’s go back. Editor Nomoto, I still have something to do now, let’s talk about it later?”
Taro Nomoto was a little dumbfounded. As a newcomer, it was normal for Wen Haochen to not understand the rules.
But he has been an editor for so many years, and he naturally understands that only a cartoonist who has successfully submitted a manuscript and wants to publish a long-form serialization needs to sign a contract.
Ordinary short story submissions do not require this procedure, soTakada Kyoko’s behavior is also an indirect proof that Wen Haochen’s long-length cartoon has been successfully reviewed and is about to be published.
Is that Xia Guoren’s work really that good?
Takada Kyoko only discovered Nomoto Taro at this time, and looked at him in surprise: “Nomoto-kun, why are you here?”*
Chapter 13 Lucky
“Ah, I…” If there were ground seams now, Nomoto Taro felt that he would go in without hesitation, but unfortunately he didn’t.
He didn’t know what to say, but Wen Haochen said with a smile, “Miss Takata probably doesn’t know yet. I have been to the big party comics before to contribute.”
“Really? Then you…” Kyoko Takada suddenly felt nervous, thinking that Wen Haochen had already collaborated with Dapai comics.
After all, compared to their Weekly Teen Comics, Dafang Comics is a more powerful existence. If they can cooperate with them, it will also have a better development for cartoonists.
Wen Haochen said with a look of regret: “It’s a pity that people didn’t like my work, no, it should be said that they didn’t read it at all. According to Mr. Nomoto, I’m a newcomer who doesn’t understand the rules, and I have to go back and study the rules first. Row.”
Nomoto Taro also accepted his fate at this time, and even at this time, he did not feel that he had done anything wrong.
The comic industry in R country is like this, and he just follows the old rules.
Unexpectedly, Kyoko Takada breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and then smiled at Aino Bentaro and said, “So that’s the case, then I have to thank Nomoto-kun!”
“No, no.” Nomoto Taro waved his hands again and again, looking at Takada Kyoko, tired of spitting.
If he really wanted to thank him, he actually didn’t mind that Takada used his body as a gift.
Kyoko Takada then said: “If it wasn’t for Nomoto-kun who refused to be so decisive, maybe Mr. Wen and I would never have met. If we missed such an excellent cartoonist, it would be a huge loss for our Teen Comics Weekly!”
In a word, Nomoto Taro was brought back to the bottom.
Okay!
After all, he is a clown, a joke, and it is not suitable to appear here now!
Nomoto Taro felt that he couldn’t hold back his face, and he couldn’t open his mouth if he wanted to ask Takada Kyoko, so he left an embarrassed sentence: “I suddenly remembered something else, you talk, I’ll go first.”
Then he left as if running away, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
“Haha.” Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Kyoko Takata couldn’t help laughing, and said very heartily: “Mr. Wen, are you free now? I want to invite you to a cup of coffee and talk about the details of the contract by the way. ”
“Of course.” Wen Haochen nodded.
The two found a cafe nearby, and Kyoko Takata said seriously: “Mr. Wen, you also know that our impurity is a weekly magazine, which means that it needs to be updated every week. I don’t know if such a workload is acceptable for you. accept?”
As an editor, Kyoko Takada is still a little worried about the actual ability of the cartoonist.
After all, Wen Haochen is a newcomer, and he has never cooperated in this area before. The speed of his painting and the quality of his long-term large-scale submissions are all problems.
Wen Haochen said with a smile: “Don’t worry, Miss Takata, since I dare to write a long story, I naturally already have a complete story in my heart. And I haven’t come to R country for a long time, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. I think the quality should get better and better.”
“Of course I don’t doubt this. The quality of Mr. Wen’s works is quite outstanding even in the existing comics.” Kyoko Takada nodded immediately: “It’s just the speed…”
“Don’t worry about the speed. I completed this work in two days. I think if it takes a week, it shouldn’t be a problem.” Wen Haochen said with a smile.
In fact, he said that for two days because he was afraid that Kyoko Takada would think too much. It only took him half a day to finish the first chapter.
The content of the story is in his mind, and the style of the comic is relatively simple, so it is not difficult to draw at all.
Maybe when his painting level improves in the future, he will be able to complete the weekly tasks faster, but there is no need to tell Kyoko Takada.
“I didn’t expect you to be a genius in this area! With your words, I am relieved. This is the contract. Mr. Wen, please take a look. If there are no problems, we can sign the contract.” Kyoko Takada said excitedly .
After signing the contract, Kyoko Takata asked for the address and contact number of Wen Haochen’s house again.
No way, no matter whether it is a writer or a cartoonist, sometimes there is a habit of delaying drafts.
If you can’t find someone immediately, I’m afraid the editorial department won’t be able to feel at ease. In order to confirm the authenticity of the address given by Wen Haochen, Kyoko Takata also went home with Wen Haochen.
After confirming that this is indeed Wen Haochen’s home, he left.
Leaving himself alone, Wen Haochen lay on the sofa and sighed in relief: “I didn’t expect that being a cartoonist would be so troublesome, but after solving the two big troubles of work and living sources, I can finally go about my business with peace of mind. !”
Thinking of this, Wen Haochen became excited again.
Looking at the time, it was almost afternoon, but it should be too late to set off now, so he immediately got up and went to the destination, Mihua Art Museum!
There was a last wish before, saying that he wanted to see an art exhibition, and Wen Haochen thought that he should be able to complete it by going to the art museum.
Fortunately, the apartment he lived in was not too far from the art museum. When he walked to the entrance of the art museum, he heard someone talking in a low voice.
“I didn’t expect people to go to this art museum now!”
“Isn’t it, I heard that there are armors that can walk in it, how scary,To actually dare to go, the courage of the people now is really big! ”
“Those rumors are nothing but a trick to attract people, and it’s just a means to attract customers. It’s a shame that you old women still believe it!”
When Wen Haochen heard these words, he suddenly thought of this art museum!
Was it the episode where an old man nailed people to the wall soon?
So, there are souls here too?
Thinking of this, Wen Haochen also became excited. The two things he wanted to do most now were to collect souls, and to fulfill the last wish of souls.
I didn’t expect to occupy two points at one time today, I’m really lucky! *
Chapter 14 Look down (add more for the reward)
Just walked into the hall, the system prompt has already sounded.
“Capture a soul, do you absorb it?”
“absorb.”
Now Wen Haochen is a little used to the quick and easy way of this system, and he agrees very simply.
“The Last Wish of the Soul: Acquire the Rice Flower Art Museum and transform it into a top-notch hotel.”
Wen Haochen: “…”
what the hell!
Buying an art gallery?
The area of ​​this art museum is not small. If you want to acquire it, it will cost at least 30 million to 40 million yen. Wen Haochen doesn’t have much money in hand. He is somewhat reluctant to spend so much money on it. of.
What’s more, to build a first-class hotel, interior decoration and later publicity work are also essential.
These also cost money!
Wen Haochen felt that he had stepped into a pit. If he wanted to fulfill the last wish of this soul, then the 60 million that he had worked so hard for before he was hot would be lost!
Just thinking about these questions, a nice voice next to him interrupted Wen Haochen’s thoughts.
“Isn’t this Mr. Haochen?”
“It’s Xiaolan, I didn’t expect you guys to be here too.” Wen Haochen was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.
Since there was a murder here, and it was a case that had happened in his mind, it was only natural that Conan and his party would appear.
So he was not surprised at all, smiled and greeted Kogoro Mouri and his party.
It’s just that Maori Kogoro was still full of vigilance when he looked at Wen Haochen, and said coldly, “Mr. Wen, I didn’t expect you to know how to appreciate works of art. I thought people like you only know how to look at beautiful women.”
Hearing this, Xiaolan and Conan’s eyes were obviously a little weird.
Uncle, are you talking about yourself?
“Mr. Maori is really interesting. I’m an artist anyway, so there’s nothing wrong with liking art.” Wen Haochen said with a smile.
“Hey, brother Haochen, are you also engaged in art work? I don’t know what you do?” Conan asked curiously.
“I’m a cartoonist. Of course, I’m not famous yet. I’m fighting for my ideal.” Wen Haochen explained.
Maori Kogoro said sarcastically when he heard the words: “It’s just a cartoonist who is embarrassed to say that he is an artist. People nowadays really don’t know how to be humble.”
At this time, an old man with a white beard also came over. Seeing his appearance, Wen Haochen was worried that he would suddenly fall while walking. After all, this old man must be at least eighty years old.
“I didn’t expect that our art museum is about to close, and I’m really happy that there are so many guests. If there were so many guests before, it wouldn’t be where it is today.”
“You must be the curator, hello, I’m Wen Haochen.” Wen Haochen said actively, but his eyes kept looking at the curator.
At his age, how did he put on such heavy armor and nail a man to the wall?
“Hello, I didn’t expect that cartoonists would like to visit art museums. It’s the first time I’ve seen them.” The curator said with a smile, but his words obviously didn’t pay much attention to cartoonists.
After all, the exhibitions in art museums are all artistic works with ideas, which are very different from the comics used to entertain the public.
Moreover, the art museum will go to the state of bankruptcy today, and it is also closely related to the emerging industry of comics. It is no wonder that the director does not like Wen Haochen.
But Wen Haochen didn’t care, instead he said with a smile: “I don’t agree with the curator’s words. Art is not divided into categories. Although comics have added some story elements, they are basically paintings, since they are paintings. , why is there a distinction between high and low?”
“These art works are the hard work of the ancients, the testimony of history, and the crystallization of culture. How can they be compared with those comic works created in a short period of time?” the curator retorted.
“But you can also see that because the pace of comics is faster and the time is shorter, it conforms to the current trend and is accepted by more people. Although art works have a high collection value, they have gradually become impossible. To support the industry, I’m not targeting your art museum, I’m just discussing the matter.” Wen Haochen spread his hands.
