Chapter 28: Here Comes the Assistant

The whole room doesn't look like it's been unoccupied for a long time.

The brown wooden floor is clean and bright, as if it has just been cleaned, and there is no dust or moldy smell in the room.

This studio is very large, it should be converted from a set of three bedrooms and one living room. There are four desks in the living room, drawing boards are placed on two desks, and writing desks are placed on the other two.

"This is where the assistants work." Yan Yu pointed to the four tables in the living room, "Although there are only two of us for the time being, in case of work pressure or "Y's" fire, we may find other assistants. We are also taking precautions Not yet. In addition, the printer and computer are in the corner, which is convenient for printing or processing photos. You can also send me the name by fax, but I have to come and pick up the original manuscript.”

"no problem."

"Your studio is in the next room, and the other two rooms are the bedrooms. If someone comes home late and can't catch the subway or the bus, they can rest here." Yan Tong led Shen Xin and gave a brief introduction to the room.

Although standing downstairs, I feel that the building is rather dilapidated, but the interior decoration is what Shen Xin likes. It is elegant and tidy, with no extra decorations, and the air conditioner, refrigerator, and washing machine are relatively complete. In addition, there is a balcony outside the living room.

Drying and drying clothes are very good.

"If you have any other requests, just ask." After returning to the living room, Yan Kun asked Shen Xin again before he had time to rest.

"I want to lift my desk out." Shen Xin asked, pointing at Wu Wu's desk.

"Why?" Yan Yu asked puzzled.

Sometimes, the assistant sometimes needs some private matters and needs to communicate on the phone. Intentional or not, it can easily affect other people. For this reason, many cartoonists want to separate themselves from their assistants.

"If my assistant and I are separated by a wall, it is easy to create a estrangement. Small problems on the drawing will also be retained because of the existence of walls and doors, reducing communication. It is better to let me be with the assistants. If there is any doubt, We can discuss it directly."

"That's right." Yan Yan nodded slightly, rolled up his sleeves, "Come on, I'll help you."

"You?" Shen Xin curled her lips with disbelief.

"I know you don't believe me." Yan Yu didn't force it, but took out his mobile phone, made a call, asked where the other party was, hung up the phone, and said to Shen Xin, "Wait a while."

Shen Xin looked at Yan Qu suspiciously, not knowing why, but soon, he heard heavy footsteps coming from the corridor.

what happened?

Shen Xin hurried to the door, but saw eight young people climbed up to the fifth floor with a stack of books on their backs.

"It's all what you like." Yan Kun turned his head and said.

ah?

Shen Xin was a little puzzled, unable to figure out what kind of books he liked.

Soon, after eight people entered the room, they put the books on the floor. When Shen Xin saw the books on the floor, she almost cursed.

Among the eight stacks of books, one is "Pink Circle" and the other is human body sketches.

What do you like about these things?

Shen Xin couldn't argue with anything now, and he didn't read these things because he liked them.

Sensing Shen Xin's "unfriendly" gaze, Yan Lin turned his head away calmly.

In addition to "Pink Circle" and body sketches, the batch of books sent also included books related to comics, including how to click on the Internet, how to draw backgrounds, and even romance novels, as well as books on writing scripts.

In order to ensure that Shen Xin can create comics smoothly, Yan Fang also spent a lot of money.

But the problem is, he doesn't necessarily have time to read them all.

Yan Yan directed the porters to move the desk out of the study and put it near the window, and at the same time, Shen Xin also stuffed the books into the bookshelf of the study.

After the first day's carrying work was over, Shen Xin stretched her shoulders, feeling a little sore. However, the result was not bad, his studio was transformed into a small living room and a small study,

He has a place to entertain guests, and his working place has also been moved to the living room, which has a much wider view.

When parting, Yan Yu assured Shen Xin that she would find a suitable assistant for Shen Xin as soon as possible.

It is said to be very fast, but Shen Xin also knows that it is not easy to find it within a week. Before that, the drawing of the coloring pages fell on him, and the work of copying drafts and tracing lines was proceeding in an orderly manner.

The first 25 pages are color manuscripts, so when Shen Xin draws, no matter whether it is manuscript paper or ink, she needs to purchase it specially.

Ordinary ink will fade when it encounters water, so when drawing color manuscripts, it is necessary to choose water-resistant ink, and in order to match it, cartoonists will also choose original paper for the cover.

It took three or four days for Shen Xin to finish drawing the line draft of the first chapter, and all schools started to open one after another during this time.

Xi Muzhen officially became a high school student, Shen Xin decided to get a student loan after thinking twice - "Y's" has not just started serialization, it is impossible to have a manuscript fee, and the consumables for comics are also a lot of expenses, considering these Due to factors, Shen Xin could only postpone the tuition fee for a period of time, and then pay the tuition fee after the manuscript fee came down.

Shen Xin just went to school on the first day of school, and went to a second-hand bookstore to buy textbooks for the second grade. (Note)

After that, he didn't go to school again, but stayed in the studio and worked hard to draw color drafts.

"Boom..."

"Please come in." Shen Xin, who was drawing at his desk, said casually when he heard someone knocking on the door.

The door was opened, and after Yan Tan opened the door and came in, seeing Shen Xin who had just raised his head, he waved his hand in greeting.

"Sister Yan, please come in." Shen Xin also stood up from her seat.

"You two come in too?" Yan Qu slightly waved to the two people behind him, and Shen Xin's eyes also shifted to behind Yan Qu.

These two people are relatively young, probably in their twenties or thirties.

The boy had long hair, sunken eyes, fair skin, and stubble on his lips and chin. His height is only about 1.7 meters, a little shorter than Shen Xin.

Girls have ponytails and freckles on their cheeks. They look gentle and quiet, and they look bigger than boys.

Yan Yu pointed to the long-haired boy and said, "His name is Qiao Yu. He is a student of Yunhai Comics College. He just graduated this year. He originally wanted to work in the comics industry. Now he wants to be an assistant for a while to gain experience."

"Oh, hello, my name is Shen Xin." Shen Xin and Qiao Yu shook hands.

Due to the development of the comics industry, some institutions will hire some teachers to teach comics lovers the skills and knowledge of comics, but due to the different resources of the school, the level of teachers they can find is also different. Moreover, these schools do not teach students how to write screenplays.

Therefore, many of the students who graduated from these comic schools are semi-finished products, and in terms of basic skills, such as sketching and sketching, they are not as good as professional students like Shen Xin.

"Teacher is so young." Qiao Yu said softly.

"I'm still a student at school." Shen Xin quickly explained.

When the girl heard that Shen Xin was a student at school, she couldn't help but glance at Shen Xin, "Are you a student at school? You're already a serial cartoonist at such a young age."
