Chapter 450: Dreams and Pie
This TV show, like a shot in the arm, has made many people who have given up or are about to give up comics re-examine their future.
Even some frustrated cartoonists agreed with Tong Yu's words - the reason why they failed to get up was not their own fault, but their ability was restricted by the editor.
"I also feel that I am no worse than those famous cartoonists. Why are they so popular, but I have to face cuts in half every week?"
"I asked several friends to evaluate the difference between me and a certain famous manga. My friends all said mine looks better, so the level of those editors...hehe."
"I'm in the same situation. Obviously mine looks better, but why can't I even publish it? It's not fair."
"Aren't my illustrations better than Shen Zheng's? Why did he get the character design of "God Falls"? And "Steel Refining", something that I can't understand at all, can become a hit?"
The topic of "unrecognized talents" instantly ignited the comics world, and many people agreed with what Tong Yu said on TV-it's not that he has no strength, but that he doesn't appreciate his "bole".
Shen Xin didn't pay attention to this video at first, and he didn't have time to take care of these trivial matters, but at the dinner table, Hang Jian suddenly talked about it, and Shen Xin knew that Tong Yu was on TV.
"I have to say that Tong Yu's words really touched the pain points of many people. As far as I know, many people are ready to wait and see if there is a chance to realize their dreams." Hang Jian said.
"My classmates also expressed their opinions in the group of the graduating class. They said they are very optimistic about this website. By the way, our teacher also strongly supports us to go there." Liu Rui took the chopsticks and put the beef on the rice. Spirit flickering.
Shen Xin glanced at Gao Hang, but saw him eating with his head down, silent.
"What do you think?"
"Huh?" Gao Hang was taken aback, raised his head, stuffed his mouth with rice, swallowed it with difficulty, and then said, "It doesn't have much to do with me. I watched it as an entertainment program."
"What?"
Gao Hang's words surprised the two of them.
"I think it's good now. Work hard and make good money. There's no need to change." Gao Hang replied seriously.
"But, this is also a chance for many people to pursue their dreams?" Liu Rui asked puzzled.
"They chase their dreams,
I earn my money, there is no conflict. Besides, are those people really chasing their dreams? "Gao Hang asked back.
"Ah?" Liu Rui looked at Gao Hang with a puzzled expression.
"Some people give everything for their dreams and get nothing in the end. These people are worthy of respect. But I see more people who use their dreams as an excuse. I should be slightly older than you. I didn't go to manga school. I only know the basics of art, and all my skills are learned from the manga teacher and practiced in private. I know that I am not capable of becoming a manga artist, but I want to create beautiful manga with manga artists. This is my goal. dream.
"I have talked to some cartoonists, and many cartoonists just seem to work hard. But those cartoonists who are famous, they put in more effort than the cartoonists who complain.
"Others have seen that famous cartoonists are very powerful, and magazines have made a lot of money for top cartoonists, but didn't the pillar authors of major magazines also come from newcomers? They didn't get magazines at first. Attention, their readers are also accumulated one by one. So, there is nothing unfair."
Shen Xin looked at Gao Hang in surprise, she didn't expect this little fat man to see it so clearly.
However, it is not difficult to understand. From being an assistant with not very solid basic skills at the beginning to now being the sole assistant, the little fat man has really put in a lot of sweat behind him, and he will definitely have his own insights.
"Teacher, what do you think about this?" Hang Jian asked Shen Xin.
"I……"
Just as Shen Xin was about to speak, she heard voices coming from outside.
"Those who only talk about feelings but not money are bastards, so don't get your hopes up too much." Su Han strode into the restaurant, followed by Xi Muhan, who was weak but in good spirits.
"Written?"
"Well, send it to Sister Yan and ask her to translate it for us." Xi Muhan forced a smile, "Brother Xin, what are you discussing?"
"You don't know?" Liu Rui was a little surprised.
Xi Muhan shook his head.
"Don't embarrass Xiaohan. Xiaohan is the main force in this creation. I am only responsible for adjusting the plot and strengthening the control of the rhythm. She has no time to think about these." After Su Han sat down, he took the aunt's hand "If you haven't stepped into the society, you don't know the cruelty of this area... Forget it, let's not talk about it. After all, you have seen contracts less often."
The cheeks of the three were slightly red. Although they were working at Shen Xin's place, there was still a difference between assistants and regular workers.
The cartoonist doesn't know when the work will be cut in half. Therefore, it is impossible to give a decent contract to the assistant. After all, the job of the cartoonist is too accidental. If you don't know when, you will lose your source of income.
"So, only fools like you have illusions about that show. What dreams, youth, resonance... Having said so much, did you mention the treatment? Not much to say, they can Guarantee, at least give each cartoonist a living guarantee of at least 2,000 yuan every month? If you can’t even do this, why do those cartoonists at the bottom keep creating? Dreams? Let me say something against you, can dreams be eaten? ?”
Liu Rui recalled what Tong Yu said in the show, it seemed that there was really not much content related to treatment.
"So, the program is fake, big, and empty. It's just fools like you who don't think about anything. As long as you mention your dreams and feelings, you just rush over foolishly, but don't consider the most important income. There is no such thing in the world. There are so many philanthropists who want to make money, but in the end it depends on their own abilities. Besides, comics are not like other industries. It takes at least three months to create the beginning of a long story. During this time, what do you eat and drink?"
Su Han's words were very poisonous, like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's head, it calmed them down.
Although Liu Rui has little contact with the outside world, she is not a fool, nor is she a single-minded person. Hearing Su Han's words, she already sensed something was wrong.
Hang Jian also hung around outside, and now he is sober. As for Gao Hang, he never thought of surfing the Internet too much.
As he said, Tong Yu's shows are more entertaining, but that's all.
"Okay, let's continue eating?" Shen Xin felt that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and Xi Muhan was like a kitten, eating with his head down, and then he also shared his own opinion, "If a person is not strong enough, he can't realize his dream. , then, it is impossible for this person to be able to get up just because he changed the platform. If someone can really make a big splash, there must be sweat behind his back."
"At least so far, comic magazines are not hell, and comic websites are not heaven. No one can be sure how it will develop in the future. The emergence of comic websites is a good thing for the comic industry, but it is specific to each Being a famous cartoonist is not necessarily a good thing.”
"Why?" Liu Rui asked.
"Whenever there is a change in the industry, there will always be a lot of guinea pigs." Shen Xin said softly.
Several people looked at each other, and what Shen Xin said seemed to be correct.
