I just want to draw cartoons quietly

"Ah! I can't draw it! It seems that I have to take a break and find some inspiration!"

Thinking of this, she suddenly became energetic.

He ran to another table in two or three steps, turned on the computer, quickly logged into Xinmanwang, and entered the comic recommendation channel.

When cartoonists have no inspiration, they often read other excellent works to pray for some inspiration.

Of course, for her, looking for inspiration is fake, and not wanting to work is real. After all, drawing comics is not as happy as reading comics.

"Secrets of the Forest, Yun Sheng's work..."

Five minutes later, she clicked the cross on the upper right corner of the page.

"It's so boring, I almost fell asleep watching it."

"Chu Ge, um, historical comics."

6 minute later.

"It seems to be okay, let's collect it first."

After browsing casually, she gradually became less interested.

But when she finally wanted to quit Xinmanwang, she saw the post with the most clicks on the homepage again.

"Strongly recommend a work, a new work on Manying, a manga magazine in Los Angeles, Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscence Chapter!"

She saw this post when she clicked on this webpage, but she was a little dissuaded by the name of this work.

Rurouni Kenshin?What a weird name!Reminiscence chapter, that is, there are other chapters that have not been released yet!

The name was a bit discouraging to her, but after thinking about it, she seemed to have nothing to do after quitting Xinmanwang. Thinking of going back to drawing comics again, her laziness still made her click on this post.

......

"The phone you dialed is off..."

Li Xi parked the car and stopped making phone calls. She got out of the car. She was dressed in a black professional OL suit. Her slender figure and beautiful appearance attracted the attention of many men around her, but she was obviously used to it. such a scene.

Well, you Tang Xin, it's only five days before the submission of the manuscript, if you don't dare to answer my call, just turn off the phone?

With anger, she walked into the elevator angrily.

Arriving at her destination, she rang the doorbell.

Half a minute passed and no one opened the door.

Li Xi frowned slightly, took out the key from the bag, and opened the door decisively.

As soon as you enter the house, there are all kinds of snack packaging bags on the ground, instant noodle buckets, fast food boxes...

Li Xi shook her head, she really didn't understand why that guy could spend so much money a month to live in such a place just to eat instant noodles and fast food.

"Tang Xin..." Li Xi called out.

"Tang Xin..."

Li Xi turned on the light, stopped shouting, and walked straight to a room.

Opening the door, sure enough, she was sitting in front of the computer.

"You're still playing with the computer. It seems that you've finished drawing the manga, right?" Li Xi walked to her side and said with a sneer.

However, the girl sitting in front of the computer ignored her and just stared at the computer.

"What's wrong? No more talking?"

"What's the reason this time? Chest tightness? Or a headache? Or maybe your gastritis didn't exist again, or your fingers got stuck in the door and you can't draw manga again?"

As Tang Xin's manga editor, whenever she faced a deadline, it really gave her a headache.

She scanned the pile of waste manuscripts on the desktop and understood that this guy didn't even have a clue about the name of the manga, no wonder she asked her assistant to go on vacation yesterday to play.

It's really... in line with her usual style.

"Why don't you talk?" Li Xi was a little strange. The usual Tang Xin was always submissive when she saw her come to press for manuscripts.

Why is it so quiet this time.

Li Xi looked at her computer, it turned out she was reading comics, Xinmanwang?Are you watching cartoons of local provinces?Take it so seriously?

Li Xi was a little moved, she understood that the young girl in front of her had a picky taste, and ordinary works could not catch her eyes, not to mention that her eyes were so wide open, she was obviously fascinated by it.

"Li Xi..." Tang Xin at the computer desk finally spoke.

Tang Xin pointed to the cartoon on the computer screen.

"I remember you said before that you are from Los Angeles... and worked for a certain comic agency in Los Angeles for a while."

"Which comic book club is it!" Tang Xin's voice was clear and sweet, but the speed of speaking was a bit slow.

"What's wrong with a small and medium comic book club called Cuttlefish?" Li Xi asked casually.

"Squid, sure enough...I remember right." Tang Xin became excited all of a sudden.

"Then the author of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories, Mr. Shuixin...you know him."

Memories of Rurouni Kenshin?

Suishin?

Who is that!

Li Xi looked at the rare excited expression on Tang Xin's face, and was a little confused.

She... what's wrong?

Chapter 33 Wind Direction

"The Memory of Rurouni Kenshin? What is that, Shui Xin? I don't know it at all." While talking, Li Xi helped Tang Xin clean up the takeaway boxes and various snacks on the table.

As Tang Xin's editor, her responsibilities certainly don't include these miscellaneous tasks, but she understands that if no one comes to help Tang Xin do these things, this girl who is good at drawing manga and has extremely low self-care ability may make this room In the central part of the city, the apartments where every inch of land is expensive have become garbage dumps.

"Don't you know?" Tang Xin's eyes widened, his face was full of disappointment.

"That's it! The work serialized in Manying, a periodical under the Cuttlefish Comics Club, has only serialized three episodes..."

"I don't know, I have no impression at all, but I basically know all the old writers in Los Angeles. If so, it might be a new writer from Los Angeles!" Li Xi shook his head and said.

"But why are you asking this?"

Tang Xin stood up from the chair with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

"Didn't I think you used to stay in that comic agency?"

"I mean......."

"If you are very familiar with that place, can you help me copy the follow-up comic of this work, or the name of the comic..."

"Although this work has only been serialized to the third chapter in the periodical, if it is similar to our manga club, maybe that manga club called Cuttlefish already has the original manuscript of the fourth or even fifth chapter of Lang Jianxin Well, for the name of the manga, maybe even the ending has been drawn and submitted.”

"I'm very curious about the follow-up plot of this work." Having said that, Tang Xin clenched his fists and looked at Li Xi with hope and anticipation.

Hearing this, Li Xi mercilessly gave her a hand knife, which hit her on the forehead.

"It hurts!" Tang Xin yelled, clutching her forehead.

"What are you thinking? It's been two years since I left that boring company, okay? And I had a tough fight with that comic agency back then, how could I have access to their comic manuscripts."

"And even if I still have a good relationship with the staff of that comic agency, this kind of thing is impossible! How could the original manuscripts and comic names of unpublished comics be copied and borrowed, although a few people in that comic agency are just rubbish , but don’t think about this kind of principle.”

"Hey~~"

"However, it's too much torment to update one episode a week like this!" Tang Xin sat heavily on her chair with a listless face.

"Are you qualified to say such things?" Li Xi sneered.

"Do you know how many issues you have suspended this year? Calculated on average, you will suspend publication once a month. Have you ever thought about the sadness of your readers who can't even wait for one episode a week?"

"But I really can't draw! I feel that my talent has been exhausted, and my inspiration has also dried up."

"Perhaps, this is what the ancients said about the exhaustion of talents! Maybe I shouldn't have embarked on the path of a cartoonist... In that case, maybe I am now an excellent fashion model!"

"Don't think so much, you have to recognize the reality. People like you can't take care of themselves, are easily deceived, and don't understand the world. If you don't draw manga...you will starve to death!" Li Xi Looking at her, he said seriously.

"Okay, do you have any other strange requests? Let me tell you all and I will reject them all, and then I will stay with you every step of the way for the next five days, until you draw the new manga , mobile phones, computers, etc., don’t try to get close, and the network is all cut off.”

"You are a devil!" Tang Xin jumped up.

"I'm a cartoonist, not a slave, I have human rights..."

But Li Xi in front of her just gave her a resolute and sharp look.

Gradually, Tang Xin's momentum weakened.

"Then can I make a request?"

"Say!"

"This periodical called Manying, the last issue, the previous issue, and the future issue will have Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences, can you help me contact the friends you know in Los Angeles, and mail them to me Come here, oh, by the way, don't send that kind of ordinary courier, send it directly by air, and the money will be deducted from my manuscript fee!"

Li Xi let out a long breath and looked at Tang Xin's serious face.

"What kind of heart cartoon is this called? Is it so good?"

"It's just a work in a local comic magazine..."

"Of course it looks good..." Tang Xin turned the computer screen around and pointed it at Li Xi, as if a child was showing off his treasure.

"Otherwise, take a look for yourself, it's only updated to the third chapter, it's not long..."

......

On Monday, as soon as he walked into the comic club, Su Zhe felt a strange atmosphere.

Almost everyone was secretly looking at her. The few colleagues who had always looked at her coldly because of her quarrel with Song Jiayu in the past also looked at her much better when they saw her today.

Su Zhi understood what caused the weirdness she felt.

After the results of Manying’s vote came out last Friday, not to mention Squid, even the editorial departments of two other manga studios of the same level, Fengyu and Longya, also learned that on Manying, there was a series that only serialized two episodes. There are works that tens of thousands of people voted for.

In the past two days, many acquaintances in the circle have asked her about it.

Not to mention that outsiders find it unbelievable, even Su Bao, the editor in charge of Chu Yu, could not have imagined that the situation would develop like this.

Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences would be popular, which was within her guess, but she never dared to imagine that this work would become popular so quickly.

"Su Yu, this is a letter from a reader, please submit it to Teacher Shui Xin."

When I came to my office, soon, a woman was holding a whole box with hundreds of letters on Su Zhi's desk.

"so much?"

"Well, that's right, I've confirmed it. These are all letters sent by fans of Teacher Shui Xin from all over Los Angeles."

After the woman left, Su Bao stared blankly at the pile of fan letters on the desktop.

If the number of votes on the voting ranking SMS is just a numerical value, I don't have too intuitive feelings.

The whole box of letters in front of him made Su Zhi understand that the work Rurouni Kenshin Reminisces is really popular.

It fully deserves the [-] votes cast in the previous issue.

Having been in the editing industry for three years, it's not like Su Yu never thought that he would be able to bring out a popular cartoonist in the future, but this is too soon!

In the past two months, she was still troubled by offending Song Jiayu in the manga club and being excluded, and even wanted to give up this career at one point, but now, with the popularity of Rurouni Kenshin, her status in the manga club will naturally increase. A rising tide lifts all boats.

"Su Yu, the editor-in-chief wants to talk to you." At this moment, a colleague came in to inform her.

"Oh, I understand, I'll go there right away!"

Su Zhe took a deep breath and responded.

Talk to me?

Su Yi knew without thinking, it must be about Chu Yu.

After all, the results of last week's rankings have already made the entire cuttlefish understand that Shui Xin, that is, Chu Yu's potential...

Chapter 34 Invitation

"hateful!"

In the office, Song Jiayu had a gloomy expression.
