I just want to draw cartoons quietly

"How much have you drawn?" Su Hewen looked at him strangely.

"It's almost a little more than one chapter! It looks like 25 six-page comics." Chu Yu said.

"What?" Su Yu's eyes widened.

"25 six pages....a week, you alone?"

"You're kidding!"

"Forget it, let's leave this alone, where is the original manuscript of your drawing, let me take a look?"

"It's the one on the table." Chu Yu looked puzzled, what happened to Su Yi today!

Su Bao didn't talk nonsense with him, and rushed over, carefully picked up the manuscript and began to read it.

......

Entering the eyes, several large characters of Rurouni Kenshin.Remembrance Chapter came into view.

"I'm dying..."

"The same is true of the times, and the same is true of people's hearts..."

On a quiet night, a handsome and elegant man sat cross-legged in front of the creek alone, looking at the night sky, and sighed like this.

It's just a simple picture, and a depressing and sad atmosphere is conveyed from the drawing.

This.......

Su Yu's eyes became serious.

In the next scene, the scene changed.

A group of women ran away with a child.

Behind him is a vicious human trafficker.

Killing, killing without any compassion.

There was no reverence for life in the expressions and eyes of those traffickers.

The women and children were overtaken, and all were slaughtered.

"Please let this child go..."

The women defended their children and pleaded with the robbers.

But only the sword responded to them.

The last woman looked at the little boy for the last time before Ning died after being pierced through the neck by the sharp blade, and said to him in a weak voice.

"...survive!"

Next, when the little boy was about to be massacred, that handsome man appeared and beheaded all the robbers at the scene neatly.

As far as the man is concerned, he is just saving another person, but it is of no use.

Things like this happen all the time in this world.

He can only save the person in front of him, but he cannot save this corrupt world.

With this in mind, he left here.

But when passing by here again the next day.

But he found that the little boy he rescued had buried everyone on the scene, including those traffickers who wanted to kill him...

After some conversation, the boy was accepted as a disciple by the man, who renamed him Kenshin.

.......

Then, the scene changed again, and the grown-up Kenshin killed a man one night with an indifferent expression, and the man's last sword also drew a scar on his face.

The face of a beautiful woman flashed in the memory of the man before he died, speaking in his mouth.

"I don't want to...die...bah!"

......

The content of Chu Yu's painting ends here.

To be honest, Su He didn't understand what kind of work Chu Yu wanted to paint.

However, after reading this short manga, Su Zhi felt a strong desire to continue reading.

Judging from the plot in Chu Yu's comics, the location should be RB Island, and the time is also set to RB more than 100 years ago.

Although in this world, RB has been classified as a province of Dragon Kingdom, but if the protagonist and the location of the story are set up in such a blatant way, will the readers of Los Angeles buy it?

Su He didn't know, but she saw Chu Yu drinking coffee with the Red Bull placed on the table, and she didn't want to pick Chu Yu's fault on this issue.

She believes that Chu Yu must have thought about this problem, but after thinking about it, she still set it like this, which proves that such a setting is indispensable.

So putting these aside, and simply looking at the content of this cartoon from the perspective of an editor, Su Yu has only one idea.

"You are amazing, you!"

......

after an hour.

Chu Yu looked at Su Bao with a dazed expression.

"So, when you said to hand over the three-episode manga before next week, you didn't mean to ask me to hand over the three-episode manuscript, but the name of the three-episode storyboard?"

"That's right!" Su Zhi said.

The name of the manga, which is equivalent to the draft before the creation of the manga, is just a kind of thing that generally expresses the storyboard and content of the manga.

Generally speaking, editors review manga manuscripts first by looking at the name of the manga, and only after confirming that there are no problems will the author be asked to draw the original manuscript.

It was also because Chu Yu didn't play cards according to common sense. When he submitted the manuscript for the first time, he directly drew the original manuscript of Qihuayan Ye Zhiting and submitted it directly.

So Su Yu subconsciously didn't treat Chu Yu as a newcomer, and didn't elaborate.

But thinking about it carefully, Chu Yu really didn't know anything except drawing manga.

Su Yi would never have imagined that what Chu Yu was drawing this week was not the name of the comic, but the original manuscript of the comic.

What's even more outrageous is that he actually drew more than 20 pages of manuscripts a week by himself.

This simply refreshed her perception.

Which of the authors she was in charge of before could draw twenty pages of comics a week with the help of a few assistants.

Unlike Chu Yu, he was like a tentacle monster and a model worker in Ming City's comics world.

Single-handedly, he was planning to draw the original manuscript of the three-episode manga in two weeks.

And according to Chu Yu's painting speed, it is entirely possible.

"Then what should we do now?" Chu Yu was dumbfounded.

"I'm not going to draw the original manuscript? Is it ok to draw the name of the manga?"

It’s just creating a draft-level painting like the name of the manga. How can Chu Yu spend so much thought on it? Thinking of myself who has been anxious about not having enough time to paint during this period, and who wants to rely on Red Bull to drink coffee tonight, Chu Yu feels that he is very stupid. .

"Do not......."

Su Yu thought for a while and said.

"Although it was a mistake, it doesn't seem to be purely doing useless work......"

"After discussing with you, although I still don't quite understand what is your intention to turn from a small and fresh manga like the Garden of Words to such a work? I can't judge the effect of the finished product of this work."

"But I understand one thing. Is this work over with only sixteen episodes?"

"To be honest, there is still a certain gap between this and the length requirements of the serialized works on Manying, but it is not much worse, at least it is much better than the length of the Garden of Words."

"So, if at next week's serialization meeting, you can really come up with a mature and wonderful three-episode finished manga, I think...it will be of great help to your competition for this seat."

"But the premise is, are you sure you can complete the original manuscripts of these three episodes before that day?"

(Note: The protagonist in the author's setting is drawn based on the animation of Rurouni Kenshin's Remembrance Chapter, not the original manga. The reason for this setting is only because the author feels that the animation is no matter in rhythm or animation after comparing the difference between manga and animation. Some small plots that have been changed are better than the comics, so it is set like this!)

Chapter 15 Assistant

Chu Yu thought for a few seconds after hearing the words, and finally nodded.

To be honest, at first he wanted to draw the original manuscripts of the first three chapters, but now he was interrupted by Su Yu.

But going around, since Chu Yu's workload has been completed a little more than one-third, why not just finish him directly.

After all, the reason why other cartoonists only submit the name of the storyboard at the serialization meeting is firstly that the comic book club requires it, and secondly that drawing the original manuscript of the comic is too time-consuming. If the serialization fails, it will take a lot of time to draw it Comics are wasted.

But Chu Yu didn't have such worries. Unlike Su He, who only read one episode and couldn't figure out the plot of Rurouni Kenshin's Remembrance, he had watched all the plots of the Remembrance.

Chu Yu doesn't think that this work will not even have the chance to be serialized. Even if the serialization proposal on Manying fails, it is impossible for other journals not to give the chance!

In this case, anyway, sooner or later, it will be drawn, and it will be easier to be more busy now.

Besides, Su Yu also said that submitting the original manuscript directly at the serialization meeting will also allow the review editors to have a more intuitive understanding of this work, which will help deepen the impression score.

Su Zhe looked at Chu Yu and let out a light breath.

"I've been an editor for so long, among other things, you are definitely one of the best in terms of your attitude towards your own work."

"Other cartoonists also hired assistants. I visited the door three or five times a week, and even I just stuck in his house and stared at his drawing, so I could barely draw a story a week."

"And you, facing two weeks to draw the manuscript of three episodes by yourself, you don't change your face......"

"Okay, okay, stop talking politely!"

"Since I have made up my mind, I don't have time to chat with Boss Su here. If there is nothing else, I will go to work. There is tea, fruit, and Internet at home. You can play by yourself. I can't greet you anymore. , I’m going to draw comics, I really can’t waste any time!” Chu Yu grabbed a can of coffee, drank it in one gulp, and walked to his drawing table.

Su He raised his eyebrows, and was about to express his dissatisfaction with Chu Yu calling her Boss Su again, but when he looked at Chu Yu's pale face and the dark circles around his eyes, he still didn't bother him with such a problem .

Seeing that Chu Yu's tired expression became focused the moment he picked up the paintbrush, Su Yu felt much more confident about the serial meeting two weeks later.

Talented and hardworking, how could such a person fail!

"Hello...Chu Yu!" Su Yu was silent for a few minutes, and then interrupted Chu Yu's painting.

"I have a proposal..."

"Proposal... what proposal?" Chu Yu raised his head.

"Of course, I fully believe in your painting speed, and I also believe in your strength."

"But no matter what, the original manuscript of two weeks and three episodes for a single person is still too heavy..."

"You still have to go to school during the day, and you can only draw comics when you come back at night. If you stay up late every day, even if your work passes the serialization proposal at the serialization meeting, the loss outweighs the gain if your body is exhausted..."

"After all, after passing the serialization proposal, what awaits you is the official serialization. You can't stay in such a state of high load and stay up late for a long time!"

Chu Yu was silent for a while when he heard the words, and he also knew that such a state was not a long-term solution.

"Then your proposal is..."

"Do you have any ideas about hiring an assistant!" Su Yu looked at Chu Yu.

"Please help?" Chu Yu frowned.

To be honest, he also had this kind of thought, but firstly, Chu Yu thought that he was not very rich, and he didn't know any friends in the comic circle, so this kind of thought was just a thought.

However, Su Yu's words made Chu Yu examine his situation again.

For a period of time, it's completely fine for me to explode like this, but what about in the long run?You know, just the first three chapters of Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences made him so anxious during this time, what about after the serialization actually started?Even in the future, if you start to serialize long-form works, the ones that don't finish for a few years, will you explode like this every day?

Then I am afraid that I will die suddenly before the age of 25!

After thinking about it, Chu Yu told Su Bao about the difficulty of hiring a manga assistant.

First, he is not well-funded, so he cannot afford to hire high-priced assistants, and he is also afraid that the low-level assistants will affect the quality of the manuscript.

Second, he didn't have any manga assistant friends, and even if he wanted to, he didn't know where to find them.

"Indeed, funding is a problem!" Su Zhi also nodded when he heard this.

"As far as I know in Ming City, short-term manga assistants basically charge 80 yuan per page, compared to your 220 yuan for manga manuscripts in The Garden of Words and Leaves..."

Cartoonists, before they became famous, were quite hard-working, and they couldn't afford to hire assistants. Anyone who did it by himself, 996 work was a daily routine for this group.

Only the kind of great cartoonists who rely on publishing booklets and selling the copyright of their works can hire several assistants to work for him without pressure.

For a comic author of Chu Yu's level, even with the support of Yan Yezhiting's manuscript fee, it is still a bit difficult for him to hire an assistant.
