"If I didn't have the confidence, I wouldn't stand here. The daily salary of [-] yen is not high, because when I was an assistant to other cartoonists before, I used this salary as well, which is not a lot of [-] yen. A cent."

Although Kuroi Senaren is petite, he is very powerful. He speaks with a straight face and dares to communicate with Su Jie face to face.

"Oh, it seems that you came prepared, I am somewhat surprised, you can get a daily salary of [-] yen at this age, which is a salary that even many cartoonists can't get, you Do you have a resume? Let me see it first?" Su Jie looked at the arrogant Kuroi Sena, felt the confidence overflowing from the other's chest, stretched out his fingers and tapped on the table, and said somewhat unexpectedly.

If nothing else, it's unusual for a girl in a single family to dare to say such a thing. Whether it's really confident or just trying to fish in troubled waters, this kind of courage is rarely seen in ordinary people.

Kuroi Sena handed the resume to Su Jie. After Su Jie got it, he took a closer look and found that Kuroi Sena was really not easy.

If there is no fraud on the resume, then according to Kuroi Sena, the 19-year-old today has been working as a manga artist assistant for four years, and she has followed three manga artists, all of whom are very well-known. The cartoonist is "Weekly Shonen Jump". Although Su Jie is not familiar with it, he knows it. He can call and ask to know whether it is true or not.

"Interesting and interesting!" Su Jie really raised his spirits now. It seems that Kuroi Sena has real talents and practical learning. Su Jie can't look down on the other party because of his young age. It is not easy to find an assistant. It took a few months, but I didn't want to miss out on the cartoonist assistant that really suits me.

"Su Jun, do you have the original comics? You definitely won't believe one-sided words on your resume. I can demonstrate my level and see if it is worth the [-] daily salary for Su Jun to hire me."

Kuroi Sena was bold and straightforward, and took the initiative to request to show her strength.

"I have the original manuscript, the manuscript of One Punch Man, can you try it?"

Su Jie took out a stack of comic manuscript paper from the drawer. There were unfinished One Punch Man comic manuscripts in it, that is, only the story line, dialogue words and storyboards. The relevant characters, backgrounds, actions, etc. were not drawn.

"Thank you, give me half an hour." Kuroi Sena picked up the pencil and paper. She must have read the One Punch Man comics. She picked up the pen and began to draw on the white paper to draw the comics.

Most of the so-called cartoonist assistants are responsible for the specific operation of the cartoon picture, rather than the creation is closer to the specific technical operation. The cartoonist is mainly responsible for the process from the story to the draft of the storyboard, and the later details are filled and depicted. It can be handed over to the assistant. On the one hand, it can save the energy of the cartoonist. On the other hand, the assistant of the cartoonist also learns the knowledge of comics in the process, paving the way for the future comics. You must know that every assistant wants to become a cartoonist.

Su Jie looked at Kuroi Sena's movements, and saw that the other party's technique was smooth, and he painted on the white paper like a cloud of water, almost without any pause, one after another blank paper was filled with the background, characters, costumes, and movements of the comics. , expressions, effect outlines, etc., to form a perfect cartoon picture.

Don't think this job is easy, it requires the assistant's basic comic skills to be extremely solid, as well as a good understanding, to be able to express the effect that the cartoonist wants to the greatest extent. Atmosphere experts, light and shadow effect experts, human body structure action experts, background experts, etc., in addition to drawing speed, after all, cartoonists are assistants hired to save time. If you draw much slower than cartoonists, then It hurts.

Looking at it, Su Jie began to become more and more fascinated, nodding from time to time to show satisfaction, and then looking at Kuroi Sena's eyes were different.

Kuroi Sena draws very quickly, even much faster than Su Jie's. She seems to write without thinking at all. The comics she draws are not only free of messy lines and errors, but also neat, with vivid characters and backgrounds. , The fighting action is smooth and almost flawless.

genius!

Su Jie crossed this idea in his mind. Apart from that, Su Jie couldn't think of any words to describe Kuroi Sena's talent. Maybe the other party was not creative enough and did not understand the plot and mirroring of the story well, but this kind of basic assistant The work is first-class and invincible. It seems that no matter what kind of manuscript, it can be completed with perfect speed and quality. Even Su Jie feels ashamed when he sees it.

Before Kuroi Sena finished painting, Su Jie had already made up his mind, not to mention the daily salary of [-] yen, even if he doubled it several times, Su Jie would win the other party.

Half an hour later, Kuroi Sena filled in all the original One Punch Man manuscripts that Su Jie took out. Although there are some deviations from Su Jie's impression, this does not mean that the painting is poor, but a kind of There are only a few minor differences in the form of expression, and most of them can be used qualified. This is still Su Jie's high requirements. If it is an ordinary cartoonist, it is estimated that this drawing can be directly handed over to a cartoon magazine.

"It's done, Su Jie, please take a look." Kuroi Sena put down the pen and paper and handed the drawing to Su Jie for review.

Su Jie didn't go to look at the sketches, but stretched out his palm and said, "From today, you are my assistant. I hope you can cooperate happily in the future, Miss Kuroi Sena."

"Thank you, I won't let you waste [-] yen in vain." Kuroi Sena smiled, stretched out her small white tender palm and gave Su Jie a slight shake.

"Look at this, you can take two days off to prepare. You can work at my house or in my company in the future. Do you have a car? If it's inconvenient, I'll buy you a car to travel around."

Su Jie thought about it and said to Kuroi Sena, Su Jie himself runs around the house and the company, and sometimes draws cartoons in the company. Kuroi Sena is an assistant. If you are in a hurry, accompany Su Jie to the company As an assistant to help Su Jie improve the comics as soon as possible, it is undoubtedly the best to complete the comics at the fastest speed under the real-time guidance of Su Jie.

Under normal circumstances, in order to avoid the loss of the original manuscript and let the cartoonist communicate with the assistant most efficiently, the cartoonist will not let the assistant take the original manuscript home to draw, but adopt the principle of proximity. Of course, there are exceptions, depending on the specific situation. Su Jie pays more attention to efficiency, so he still communicates with his assistant often, so it is better for the assistant to be close to himself.

As for the money spent on this, buying a car or something is a trivial matter. Even if the daily salary of [-] is paid, is it still a small amount of money?

"No, I have a car, I won't delay my work, and I will do my job as an assistant."

"Very good, this time I really want to thank you, Kuroi Sena, for your application, otherwise I would have to be in a hurry, and it would not be easy to serialize several works at the same time. Now that you are here, it seems that the serialization speed of Naruto can be accelerated, really. Charcoal in the snow!"

Su Jie breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely.

At present, Su Jie has serialized three comics in Weekly Shonen Jump, and he is also serializing Naruto at the Glass Shrine. In addition, Su Jie has other work to do, which really puts pressure on Su Jie. If it wasn't for the appearance of Kuroi Sena, Su Jie would One of the comics of Weekly Shonen Jump may be stopped to ensure the high-speed update of Naruto.

Fortunately, my several months of recruiting were not in vain. It took so long to finally recruit a genius. Kuroi Sena's drawing speed is much faster than Su Jie. If we continue at this speed, Su Jie will not guarantee the current comics. The update speed is not impossible to open a few more comics for serialization.

After all, the most complex drawing work in the comics is basically done by Sena Kuroi. Su Jie only needs to master the story and storyboards, and make some modifications to the unsuitable places drawn by Sena Kuroi, which greatly reduces Su Jie’s work. Jie's work pressure, the [-] daily salary is worth the money.

"It just happened to be a meeting. The cartoonist I was following recently had some problems and temporarily closed the comics, which caused me to be idle at home. It happened that a friend of mine recommended me to be Su Jun's assistant, so I came over to try it out. ." Kuroi Sena smiled lightly, although she looks quite loli, her strength is definitely strong enough.

"Oh, who recommended you to come?" Su Jie vaguely guessed who it was.

"Your editor, Miss Mimi, recommended me to come here."

"Sure enough, it's the truth." Su Jie was touched. The information about the recruitment of assistants was posted a few months ago. At that time, the truth was said to help. At that time, Su Jie hadn't had a deadlock with Weekly Boy Jump.

Later, because of the contract, Su Jie and Weekly Juvenile Jump had a very unpleasant quarrel. According to Su Jie's knowledge, the editor of truth benefits, who discovered Su Jie, was also reprimanded and criticized by the high-level officials of Weekly Juvenile Jump. If other editors estimated that It's time to get rid of Su Jie urgently. In this case, Zhenhui also recommended a comic assistant to himself. Su Jie was very emotional. After a long time, you can see people's hearts, and adversity can see the truth.

"Mori is a very good editor. When I first started working as an assistant, she found me a cartoonist. I am very grateful to her now. She is a good person." serious.

"Yes, she is a good editor." Su Jie made a silent decision in his heart. In the future, if there is an opportunity, he must dig the truth to the Brunei Publishing House and give her the best compensation.

In fact, Su Jie also invited Zhenhui to Brunei Publishing House, but Zhenhui has been at Weekly Junior Jump for a long time and has feelings, so she did not agree.

In addition, the current Brunei publishing house is poor and white, Su Jie's own lack of confidence, can't let people come over to suffer and do nothing, so this matter is left over, but Su Jie did not forget, keep it in his heart, and wait for a better time in the future.

Su Jie then chatted with Kuroi Sena, and explained the treatment clearly. After signing the contract, Kuroi Sena left the company, and the other party would go to work on time the day after tomorrow.

Chapter 370: Great Success

Naruto succeeded, and the Glass Shrine became famous. The Brunei Publishing House became a hit with the success, and finally Su Jie's success.

In just a few days, the Naruto manga has been stirring up the storm in Japan, and has achieved great results, triggering discussions among the majority of netizens.

In Japanese traditional culture, ninja is almost one of the unique characters in ancient Japan. It is as well-known as Japanese samurai, but it is an even rarer profession. In the 21st century, this has become the exclusive culture of Japan, just like the knights in ancient China. , martial arts masters are the same.

Naruto adopts a magnificent world view background and redefines the character attributes of the ninja. It is very different from the ninja in people's previous impressions, but it also highlights the charm of the cultural characteristics of ninja. The ninja described in the Naruto manga is fascinated by reverie and can't wait to bring himself into it.

This kind of immersion can only be felt by Japanese people. It is probably similar to the Chinese martial arts complex. Every Japanese person may have fantasized about becoming a lone ninja who can kill one person in ten steps and never leave a thousand miles.

However, the attributes of cruelty, darkness, destruction, assassination, espionage, black mask and other attributes that traditional Japanese ninjas are used to have made it difficult for the audience to accept. Naruto has changed the way and described the profession of ninja as open-minded and possessive. A decent figure with all kinds of secret methods and the magical energy of Chakra, and the character of the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki is also very pleasing, making it easy to like the worldview described in the comics at first glance.

Naruto's series of breakthroughs have been well received on the Internet. A few traditional and conservative guys can't make a splash at all. This is a cartoon, an artistic process, and it must be copied from reality?

The discussion on the Internet made Naruto more and more famous. Many people who have never read manga have heard the name during this time, and some are driven by curiosity, they can't help but buy a glass shrine manga magazine .

The success of Naruto can be clearly seen by just one statistic. The reader feedback rate of manga is 98%. The sales volume of Liuli Shrine manga magazine has been driven by Naruto to break through a new high. Today, the first issue of Glass Shrine Magazine has sold 28 copies.

When this terrifying data came out, it shocked all the staff of Brunei Publishing House, including Su Jie himself. Among them, Su Jie's reputation as a cult gentleman attracted a large number of fans to watch and buy .

But this is not able to sell the sales to such a hot level. In the final analysis, it is the wonderful cartoon of "Naruto" that drives the sales of the magazine.

After word of mouth from a large number of readers, "Naruto", which has an excellent reputation, is spreading more and more widely in Japan. If you want to watch this unique comic, you can only see it at the Glass Shrine, which naturally drives sales.

After the first issue of Glass Shrine was released, only five days apart, the second issue of Glass Shrine Manga Magazine was released.

The sales volume achieved this time is more than the first time, and the sales volume of the magazine has successfully exceeded 40 copies. As for the reason, it lies in "Naruto". Leave a message online, in the future, Naruto will maintain such an update efficiency, there will only be more and no less.

This is the effect brought by Kuroi Sena after becoming Su Jie's assistant. After a few days of work contact, Su Jie became more and more satisfied with Kuroi Sena, a loli girl. Although the other person was young, his work attitude was extremely serious. A little sloppy and frivolous, although she occasionally has a little girl's arrogance and a woman's inertia on weekdays, she is fully capable of being a good assistant at work. Every time Su Jie explains the comic task, she can complete it quickly and well. , let people not pick out the slightest fault.

Su Jie is very fortunate that he has dug up the treasure. Kuroi Sena is the best assistant tailor-made for Su Jie, and only such a talented comic assistant can keep up with Su Jie's creative ideas and speed.

After having Kuroi Sena, Su Jie's efficiency in drawing comics has increased several times, which is why Su Jie dares to update so efficiently.

The existence of Kuroi Sena made Su Jie's heart soar, so in the update of the Glass Shrine, Su Jie did not hesitate to choose to speed up, in order to break out the potential of "Naruto" in the shortest time and occupy more users, thus laying the foothold of the Glass Shrine and occupying a place in many comic magazine industries.

Other manga magazines will not be indifferent to the development of the Glass Shrine. If the Glass Shrine wants to develop, it must surpass other manga magazines by the number of serialization cycles. If you serialize four issues of a manga magazine a month, then I will dare to serialize six. Expect.

In terms of the quality of comics, Glass Shrine wins by cult gentlemen. As a top-level cartoonist, Glass Shrine has the golden signboard of cult gentlemen, and there is no need to worry about attracting traffic. In this respect, Glass Shrine is worthless to anyone, not yet. Which cartoonist dares to say that the cult gentleman can be overwhelmed by his strength, and the cult gentleman will be considered good if he does not crush them in turn.

Under the planning of Yukino Yukino, Glass Shrine used this method to quickly and fiercely seize the market share of other comic magazines in the attempt to rise in a short period of time. The rise has never been peaceful, and there is no certain cruelty how to do it.

The cartoonists who signed contracts with Brunei Publishing House couldn’t close their mouths when they laughed. Because of the hot sales of Glass Shrine Magazine, their accompanying works have also achieved victories one after another. The comics that no one cared about have gained readers, and the sales of single volumes have increased significantly.

After all, the audience bought the Glass Shrine magazine, and after reading "Naruto", they will definitely not be satisfied with this comic, they will take a look at the latter, and they will spend money anyway, because of this Because of this kind of psychology, there are many readers who like the works of other cartoonists at Glass Shrine in the end. Everyone has different tastes. In front of a huge reader base, this is normal.

Because of the sharp increase in sales of single-edition books, the cartoonists of Glass Shrine have been walking with wind recently. They have never felt so happy. I didn't expect their cartoons to sell so well one day.

The magnificence of the cartoonists made the light novel authors of the Glass Shrine jealous. Unfortunately, they are novel authors and cannot enjoy the help of this Glass Shrine magazine, nor can they borrow the light of the cult gentlemen.

So even if Su Jie changed the edition of the Glass Shrine magazine to issue every five days, which put more pressure on the cartoonists to update, but compared with the income, this is nothing.

Su Jie has already given them a larger share of the comic artists' share in the sales of comics. This is a real benefit. Now that the sales volume has increased, no one wants to leave in the golden age of Brunei Publishing House. Even though he was bitter and tired, he recognized that the kind of person who only thought about taking the benefits and not working had been terminated by Su Jie long ago when he took over the publishing house.

*******************

A week after the release of the Naruto manga.

In Brunei Publishing House, people have enthusiastic smiles on their faces. The newly recruited employees seem to have found a sense of belonging during this period. They were worried about the instability of work here. Now, the Glass Shrine under the Brunei Publishing House. The sales of comics magazines have greatly increased, and they have been completely stabilized, giving them confidence. Working in such a company, the possibility of bankruptcy is relatively low.

Of course, they laughed so happily and enthusiastically, it was because of the cult gentlemen in the company, that is, Su Jie just announced that they would be given bonuses because of the huge increase in the sales of Glass Shrine's magazines.

What they work for is not a word of money. It is natural to be happy with bonuses and money. Before, the identity of President Su Jie was awe, and the identity of a cult gentleman was curiosity. Now the behavior of giving bonuses has made Su Jie a favorite in the eyes of employees. A good image of the home Buddha.

"I have something to do with you, at work."

Here, Su Jie had just announced the bonus, and when he was enjoying the flattery from the employees in the company, Yukinoshita Yukino found Su Jie who was hanging out in the company.

"Listen." Su Jie stopped, the disagreement with Xuenai didn't need to get him a job, the company belonged to Su Jie, but he was the one who lost.

"Brunei Publishing House's comics have developed, but the novels have not improved. As far as I know, the story series novels are written by you, right? Do you want to write a new novel? Our publishing house develops light novels and comics. The legs are long and the legs are short, do you think so?"

Yukinoshita Yukino went straight to the point and talked about the novel.

"I'm ready for this." What is Su Jie doing? Hearing this, he smiled slightly and said confidently.

As a regular publishing house, of course Su Jie will not let the comics section of Brunei Publishing House go smoothly, and then leave the light novel section.

As the upstream link of the ACG industry chain, light novels also have great potential for development. Before the acquisition of Brunei Publishing House, Su Jie actually didn't put much energy into novels, and he wrote a novel of the Story series after all his calculations.

Now, as the big boss behind the Brunei Publishing House, I can actually invest more time and energy to drive the growth of the light novel section.

In the future, whether novels are comics, animations, or games, they will complement other industries in Su Jie's hands to form a complete industrial chain. At that time, all the comics, novels, games, and animations in Su Jie's hands can be mobilized, no matter what. How the outside world develops, Su Jie can live vividly by relying on the complementation of internal resources, just like a self-sufficient ecosystem.

"What novel are you going to write?" Yukinoshita Yukino didn't expect Su Jie to be prepared. After all, Su Jie didn't seem to pay much attention to light novels.

"The title of the novel is "Magic Forbidden Book Catalog". It is an urban sci-fi genre. What is the content of the story? It roughly tells the background of the existence of superpowers and magic in the scientific world, and the world view that reality and non-reality seem to be incompatible. Lily... such a story."

Su Jie said with a smile, this light novel was very famous in Su Jie's previous life. Not only was the light novel a big hit, but the animation adaptation was a mess, and it has been published until the third season...

Therefore, Su Jie's writing "Magic Forbidden Book Catalog" is a very good choice. It can not only help Brunei Press's light novel development, but also give back to Firefly Company and lay the foundation for future animation.

Yukino Yukino has never read the novel, so it's hard to judge the quality of the "Magic Forbidden Book Catalog", but he just warned: "Send the manuscript to me when you have time, and I'll see how it goes. If it's good, let's promote it. Now that the popularity of "Naruto", we can promote this novel with half the effort, and give our company's novel section a strong momentum.

"Can the works from my hands be bad? You don't have to worry about that." Su Jie smiled, and his confidence came from the success of the "Magic Forbidden Book Catalog" in his previous life. Su Jie was completely confident that this novel You will get better grades in this world.

Su Jie said, seeing several light novel authors passing by, and added: "After this novel is released, it is estimated that it will bring a wave of sales, then we can just wait for the money, you too Let the light novel authors signed by our company not worry, our Brunei publishing house will not forget them.

At that time, whoever has written excellent light novel works, Firefly Animation Company, Panda Game Company, and the comics of our Brunei Publishing House, will give them operation and development copyrights, watching their own novel works animated, Gamification is not a dream at all. "

Unlike Su Jie's drawing of Naruto to drive the sales of other cartoonists' works, writing novels is a more personal thing, and there is no such platform as comic magazines, readers of light novel author's works will only buy one, and will only see one.

"Maybe we can start an original literature website in the future, and readers can see light novels on the website, which will have a good accumulation of popularity." Su Jie muttered a few words, this sudden idea went out of control.

With the carrier of the website, the light novels written by Su Jie can bring traffic to the literary website, and other light novel authors can also benefit. There are many readers who like other light novels.

"I'm already planning on doing this. Didn't I tell you before? Can you pay more attention to company affairs? You're a fake president." Yukino Yukino gave Su Jie a contemptuous look, She has been working on this plan for a long time. She told Su Jie that there will be more and more mobile phone and computer users in the future, and it is imperative to develop electronic reading literature.
