Chapter 114: The New Assistant

"Huh?"

Xiaoli yelled subconsciously.

Shen Xin also stopped when she heard Zhou Yang's words, and looked at Zhou Yang in surprise.

Similar things, he only heard that Nobuhiro Wazuki (the author of "Rurouni Kenshin") offered to be Takeshi's assistant after seeing Takeshi's comics.

Does this kid want to follow Heyue Shinhong?

"Hey, Mr. Zhou, do you know what you're talking about?" Xiaoli was about to cry, a good newcomer author, how can she be gone?

Yan Fei was also a little dumbfounded. She had been an editor for a while, and this was the first time she encountered such a situation, and her brain couldn't react.

Lu Ning was listening to the CD, and didn't know what happened, but Gao Hang's mouth was slightly open, and there seemed to be something stuck in his throat, so he couldn't make a sound.

"I know what I'm talking about." Zhou Yang raised his head, his cheeks flushed, "I thought "Ghost Poses" was the manga I wanted to draw. But after reading Teacher Shen's name, I found that I still have a long way to go. Let's go. Compared with Teacher Shen, my name lacks some feeling, and I want to study here for a while."

Xiaoli turned her head to look at Shen Xin, the newcomer who was placed high hopes by the magazine suddenly wanted to be his assistant, the editor-in-chief would probably go crazy if she found out.

Noticing Xiaoli's extremely unfriendly eyes, Shen Xin was speechless. He has only been a professional cartoonist for more than half a year, how did he know that such a thing would happen?

For a moment, the air in the studio seemed to freeze, and everyone didn't know how to persuade each other.

In the end, it was Yan Fei who stood up and broke the silence.

"Little Li can't decide on this matter. You have to discuss it with the president and the editor-in-chief. Next week, you come to the magazine office to communicate with the president and see what he has to say."

Zhou Yang thought for a while, "That's fine, then wait until next week."

Xiaoli didn't dare to let Zhou Yang stay in Shen Xin's studio anymore, in case Zhou Yang made any troubles again, after saying goodbye to Shen Xin, she took Zhou Yang away in a hurry.

Gao Hang was a little happy, having one more assistant meant that his pressure would be relieved a lot, so he narrowed his eyes and continued to read the information of the seiyuu.

Shen Xin returned to her seat, picked up the text of the first four episodes of the radio play, and roughly read it.

The flow of the story is almost the same as the manga, but in the first four chapters, an additional clue about the autumn leaves season is added, which makes the appearance of the autumn leaves season very natural.

Due to the limited space of the comics, a lot of content will be omitted, and the radio drama is indeed an excellent supplement to "Y's".

"Mr. Shen, what do you think?" Yan Fei asked.

"It's not bad... there's just one thing I don't like." Shen Xin frowned.

"Where?" Yan Fei read the script in advance and didn't think there was anything wrong.

"The character's dialogue is very nerdy, which should be related to him being a light novelist. Please help me and ask him if the current readers like this style of dialogue. If so, then continue to write like this. I no problem."

Shen Xin has always adhered to a philosophy that he will never intervene in matters that can be left to experts.

Of course, as a former Internet author, he can also write the text of radio dramas, but since someone is willing to take over, and the quality is not bad, why would he do it again and artificially increase the difficulty of creation?

After Yan Fei wrote down Shen Xin's question, she turned her attention to Lu Ning and Gao Hang.

About ten minutes later, Gao Hang finally read the material again. All the character designs, combined, amounted to nearly twenty copies, almost all of which were first-line voice actors. He selected 12 materials based on the reputation of these voice actors. .

Afterwards, Lu Ning handed over the selected audio to Shen Xin.

Combining popularity and timbre, Shen Xin quickly picked out five voice actors.

Yizhi's voice is undoubtedly the heroine voice actor of "The Legend of the Dragon King", while Yi Gui's voice actor is said to be the male protagonist of "Hunting Abyss".

The main reason why Shen Xin chose him was because he was very popular among girls, and he might be able to bring some female readers to "Y's".

Yan Fei put away the list and bid farewell to Shen Xin.

After Gao Hang learned of the list of seiyuu selected by Shen Xin, he kept smiling from the bottom of his heart, which made Shen Xin see Gao Hang's other side - the nerd.

But Shen Xin also knows that the radio drama is only for publicity, allowing more people to get in touch with "Y's". The only thing is the quality of the manga.

As for Zhou Yang's idea of ​​coming to be an assistant, Shen Xin thinks it is unlikely. After all, Zhou Yang is a newcomer that the magazine is looking for this year, and the president is unlikely to let him be an assistant to other cartoonists.

But Shen Xin also knows that being an assistant is one of the shortcuts for newcomers to learn. Like him, there are really very few cartoonists who have not served as an assistant to others and have achieved certain results.

But in the end, the final decision is still in the hands of the magazine.

On Tuesday, Xiaoli took Zhou Yang to visit Shen Xin's studio again.

"Congratulations, Mr. Shen, you have another assistant." Xiaoli sullenly looked slightly depressed.

"Huh? What's going on?" Shen Xin looked at Xiao Li with a surprised face, while Zhou Yang's face was a little excited, "Is the editor-in-chief really willing?"

"Of course the editor-in-chief is reluctant, but he also knows that letting you take him for a period of time will be of great benefit to his growth. Song Ren disagrees and insists on asking Zhou Yang to serialize. For this reason, the editor-in-chief even quarreled with him for a while. In a fight, the two sides insist on their own views and refuse to give in to each other."

"The editor-in-chief is so bloody?" Shen Xin recalled the chubby appearance of the editor-in-chief, but she really didn't notice it a few days ago.

"Probably, he doesn't like Song Ren parachuting into the editorial department and telling him what to do. The two sides argued until late at night. Finally, the president who went to Hongchuan to discuss matters called and agreed to Zhou Yang as your assistant. But there is also a condition."

"What conditions?"

"He can't be a professional assistant, and he can come up to four days a week. And starting next month, he will submit a short cartoon every month and publish it in "New World."

"Is...is he under too much pressure?" Shen Xin looked at Zhou Yang, a little worried.

"Nothing." Zhou Yang shook his head again and again, "I have already thought about it. Before serializing, I will draw a few short stories related to "Ghost Poses" and modify the name of "Ghost Poses". Teacher, wait until "Ghost Poses" "Started serialization, maybe it is qualified to compete with "Y's"."

Zhou Yang was a little uneasy, and secretly glanced at Shen Xin with his eyes.

"Then... let's work together."

Good competition is not a bad thing for creators.

Shen Xin has always thought this way. For example, now, he doesn't want to lose to Ye Hexu, nor Su Han and Tiaotiao. Therefore, he must do the best in every detail of "Y's" and surpass them in the quality of comics.

During this process, Shen Xin had to have higher demands on herself. At the same time, the storyboarding, composition, painting skills... Many aspects have been greatly improved as each page of the original manuscript was drawn.

Zhou Yang was taken aback for a moment, but saw that Shen Xin's face was not displeased, but rather pleased, so he nodded deeply.
