Chapter 125 Murder on the Orient Express!

It’s not good to go to the school! What’s more? Many cartoonists have been assistants to other cartoonists before they become famous, okay, this is not something worthy of shame.

For example, Hiroyuki Takei, the author of "The Spirit King", has been an assistant to Hiroyuki, the author of "Ronke Sword Heart", and Hiroyuki, the author of "One Piece", has also been an assistant to Hiroyuki, and Hiroyuki, the author of "Death Notes", and Ken Obata has been an assistant to Hiroyuki, and Ken Obata has been an assistant to Hiroyuki, the author of "Mashima Hot Prodigal Son", etc. There are countless examples such as this. What's wrong with being an assistant before becoming famous? You can learn from the experience of becoming a famous cartoonist. Of course, Su Shichen is also a newcomer in the comics industry, but Feiyu's attitude is too outrageous.

"A person must be accurate in positioning himself, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed." Is Wang Ni's words comforting him?

It should be counted that Wang Ni's words meant that the author Feiyu had a problem with his positioning just now, and such a person is not worth getting angry about.

"Huh, it's okay, there are two chances anyway." Wang Ni drove to the homes of the remaining two authors. Guiman Club did not have much reputation when he left Yangcheng. Since he would submit the manuscript to Guiman Club, it proved that his address was near Yangcheng. It was true that the addresses of the three authors selected by Su Shichen were all in Yangcheng.

While Su Shichen was still busy looking for a comic assistant, there was a big fuss outside. The cause of the incident was that Zhang Ze, a domestic cartoonist, was angry when he was promoted by the Peak Newspaper, which was this sentence: "The best inspirational and passionate comic in China, "Slam Dunk."

Zhang Ze is a powerful man in the domestic comics industry. His status is equivalent to Su Shichen's current status in the novel world, and even higher. There are two main types of his comics, one is the passionate youth, and the other is the competitive youth.

He broke the words like this when he was interviewed by a media outlet-

"I really bully the Chinese comics world. Although our Chinese comics world is not as good as the island country or the United States, I still have many talents. How dare I say that a comic drawn by a newcomer who has only attended less than ten professional courses is the best inspirational and passionate comic in China? And I also sprinkle salt on the wounds of basketball fans. I have nothing to say about such a person who fails to achieve his goal in order to make money. In addition, in order to soothe the injured hearts of basketball fans, I am already conceiving a passionate comic about football to turn the attention of basketball fans from basketball to football. This is what a truly conscientious cartoonist should do."

The battle between football comics and basketball comics kicked off like this! It is conceivable that the media will take this opportunity to riot again, but Su Shichen still doesn't know about these things. He has now rushed to another author's home, living on the seventh floor and without an elevator, so it is rare to climb stairs.

Knock on the door!

"Who are you looking for?" The person who opened the door this time was quite gentle. He was a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, with a sense of scholarly aura. From the temperament, he looked a little like a teacher.

"Is you the Yuexia Ancient City, the author of "Qingyu",?"

"Yes, I am the ancient city under the moon. Please come in and sit down first." The scholar was angry and very polite.

He invited Wang Ni and him to his home and also brought tea.

"Are you two from Guiman Club? Only my work has been submitted in Guiman Club. So has my manuscript passed the review?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't bring you good news." Su Shichen handed the manuscript back to the ancient city of Yuexia.

"It's okay. Anyway, I'm very clear about my own works, and it's expected that I'm rejected." Yuexia Ancient City was not angry at all, and even apologized to Su Shichen and Wang Ni, thanking the two for sending his manuscript back to him. Compared to Feiyu, Yuexia Ancient City can definitely be regarded as a saint.

"Actually, I'm here this time to ask if you have any plans to become a comic assistant?"

"Comic Assistant!" Yuexia Gucheng shook his head, "My job is taught by university teachers, and drawing comics is just a leisurely hobby. I have also learned about the comic assistant industry. I am busy and I have no time anymore, sorry."

"It's okay, I'm disturbing." No wonder the painter is so good. It turns out that he is a university painting teacher. If he doesn't have good painter, he will be a ghost.

Saying goodbye to the ancient city under the moon, standing in front of the building and sighing loudly, is this considered a disadvantage in the passing of the year?

The first comic author is arrogant and does not want to be an assistant to Su Shichen, while the second comic author is quite good at positioning himself, but because of his work, he has no time to be a comic assistant, and the last of the three of them is left.

Chenxin is also the person who has the most hope for Su Shichen. Because of the similar pen tip, he rushed to the residence of the last author, Chenxin. Is this a civilian area?

Anyway, it's quite dirty and messy. Chen Xin's real name is Zhang Chen. This kind of ground floor building is densely adjacent to each other, and there are narrow passages everywhere. The car can't drive in, so it can only get off the bus and walk. Moreover, there is no accurate house number for this kind of house. After a few inquiries, I found Zhang Chen's residence.

The door was open, but I was embarrassed to walk in directly, knocked on the door "Pengpeng" and shouted loudly, "Is anyone at home?"

A male voice came from the room, "If you have anything, just come in and talk about it."

Wang Ni stood at the door and shook her head, indicating that she would not go in. Su Shichen walked into this very messy house alone. A young man with very long hair had covered his eyes was drawing a manuscript. In fact, Su Shichen really wanted to say that his hair was so long, could he still see it?

Seeing him skillfully using various tools, this person should be Chenxin and Zhang Chen.

"Who are you? Could it be that a certain comic of me was rejected again?" Zhang Chen's eyes stopped on the manuscript in Su Shichen's hand.

It's another book, why does this sound so awkward?

Su Shichen couldn't help but ask: "According to what you mean, have you contributed a lot of works at the same time?"

"That's of course," Zhang Chen said proudly. "At my speed, it's very simple to issue three issues in a week. Of course, this is not the highest speed. The maximum speed can ensure that four works can be serialized simultaneously on weekly issues."

After hearing what Zhang Chen said, two great gods immediately appeared in Su Shichen's mind, one was Hirohiko Araki, who was known as a super speed master who could N magazines in a week, and the other was a strong man with 50 pages a day, Osamu Tezuka, the god of manga.

Su Shichen's interest immediately increased, "Then how many comics have you published."

This question immediately made the proud Zhang Chen speechless and sighed, "Everyone in the publishing house said that my comics have problems with the plot setting. I think they don't understand my great ambitions at all. I just wanted to set up a comic with a grand background. I have drawn dozens of cartoons at the beginning, but they all failed. It seems that I have to start from scratch again." Zhang Chen lowered his head and looked listless.

Zhang Chen's behavior reminded Su Shichen of his previous life. He also wrote one or two novels. Once he could not sign a contract, he would cut it off and then open a new book.

"I'm going to draw a comic recently, but I don't have enough time alone. How about you come and be my assistant?" After saying that, Su Shichen stared at Zhang Chen tightly, but he didn't want to be rejected anymore. He had failed twice. This was the last chance.

However, Zhang Chen did not agree or refuse immediately, but asked, "How much salary can you pay me if you are your assistant in a month?"

"Colour, background, and line drawing these?"

"Of course, I did it all by myself before."

"First apply for one month. During the trial period, I gave you 3,500 yuan a month, and after one month I'll give you 6,000 yuan."

Hearing that he could earn 6,000 yuan of soft sister coins a month, Zhang Chen's eyes immediately shone, but then he showed a look of suspicion, "Can you get 6,000 yuan a month?"

"If you know who I am, you wouldn't doubt whether I can get six thousand yuan a month."

"Who are you? Aren't you just a student?" Zhang Chen looked up and down at Su Shichen, looking suspicious.

"I am an author. I have written several books that sell more than one million. Among them, "The Best" has exceeded three million. Do you think I can get 6,000 yuan a month?"

When Zhang Chen heard the name "The Great Wilderness", his eyes immediately turned up, and he looked like he saw a ghost, "You can't be the smartest genius boy Su Shichen in the legend, right!"

Su Shichen touched his nose, when did he become the legend? Only death is the legend. Now he has not lived enough and does not want to die.

"Okay, I'll do it." Zhang Chen, a cartoonist who later became Su Shichen's assistant.

"Master Su, you are well-written in your novel, why did you suddenly draw a comic?"

"Master Su, why do you choose basketball? Don't you know that basketball is a taboo subject now?"

...

Zhang Chen’s questions one after another, as if there were hundreds of thousands of reasons.

Su Shichen's new house was three bedrooms and one living room. His father used a room, and he just vacated a room for Zhang Chen to use, including food and accommodation, and then gave it three thousand five in the first month. This made Zhang Chen very happy.

Zhang Chen also gave Su Shichen a surprise. In addition to his poor ability to make up stories, Zhang Chen's other basic skills and other skills were very perfect.

"Why is Master Su like a clown? Isn't it better to be serious? Will this make readers not want to continue reading?" What Zhang Chen is talking about is the protagonist Huadao in the comic.

"There is no perfect person in this world. To make the comic more realistic, the protagonist must have shortcomings. Of course, you must grasp this shortcomings. The shortcomings cannot be greater than the advantages."

Indeed, taking island comics as an example, most of the protagonists are very nervous and stupid, but they are very persistent in something. In simple terms, they are just a teenager's passion.

This is how Naruto is in Naruto, Ichigo is in Death, and even more so in the Hanamichi in the slam dunk he is drawing now.

"Why is the first stop a failure? Don't readers feel disappointed?"

"The world of competition is both defeated and won. If it is invincible, what else can readers see? And if they lose this time, readers will only look forward to winning back next time."

At first, Zhang Chen was skeptical about Su Shichen, a novelist who wanted to draw comics, thinking that Su Shichen's behavior was just a joke, and he secretly thought in his heart that it was good to be famous, and that no matter how the comic was drawn, it could still be published. However, later, with the episodes of "Slam Dunk", he himself became fascinated by this comic first.

Then Zhang Chen had to admit that his idea was wrong, and at the same time he realized his shortcomings.

In the past, when he painted comics, the protagonist seemed to want to add all his advantages, but in fact, such a perfect protagonist is really good?

Zhang Chen learned a lot from comics, and his attitude towards Su Shichen gradually changed. From the beginning to the respect he is now, he would ask questions. Although Su Shichen is much younger than him, Zhang Chen has already regarded Su Shichen as his teacher.

Su Shichen is rushing to comics behind closed doors, and the novel section has appeared on "Peak Newspaper", and Su Shichen's new mystery novel "Murder in the Orient Express" was also published on it.

There is no excessive introduction to the novel section of "Peak Newspaper", only a line of big words -
