Chapter 165 The Misfortunes of Food Anime

Generally speaking, cartoonists with a little fame will choose to hire assistants to help them complete the work of rushing to finish the manuscript.

Especially for cartoonists who publish weekly serials, because of the tight time and heavy tasks, it is inevitable to hire assistants.

After all, if it is not really because the manuscript is too urgent, who is willing to spend money to hire an assistant?

But hiring assistants really saves a lot of time for cartoonists and reduces the workload a lot.

Even some cartoonists with considerable income will hire three to four cartoon assistants to help them complete the drawings.

The work of cartoonist assistants is generally drawing backgrounds, blackening, whitening, coloring, pasting dots, pasting bubbles, etc. These are more complicated but not particularly important tasks.

However, they rarely participate in the creation of comic stories and plot ideas.

Because this is the main work of cartoonists.

Many cartoonists in the industry believe that professional cartoonists must put the story, setting and plot design of the comics first, and assistants only need to complete other tedious tasks.

In fact, it is true. The setting of the story and the design of the plot are the main reasons for whether a comic can become popular.

If the story and the plot are based on the defense, then no matter how beautiful the style of a comic is.

It is just a pile of defense carved into flowers.

No matter how beautiful the defense is, it is still a pile of defense.

No one likes defense.

So many professional cartoonists will focus their work on the story, setting and plot design.

It is mainly to ensure the quality of the comic story.

In order to design a better story and plot, they need to spend a lot of time to think over and over again.

It is definitely too late to complete the draft work at this time.

But Lin Qingshan is different, after all, he is a plagiarist.

Does a plagiarist need to conceive the plot?

No need at all, he has a ready-made excellent plot in his mind, and he doesn't even need to think about the draft storyboard.

So Lin Qingshan has always been able to complete the work of the cartoonist by himself.

Not to mention that he has the super power given by the system.

In this case, he even had time to finish drawing the entire "Flame Fist" during the serialization of "Edgewalker" and "Chainsaw Man".

However... this does not mean that Lin Qingshan can complete his own work and does not want to hire an assistant.

After all, it is a good thing to have a little easier work.

"No, no, no, the company does have several candidates for assistants."

Ito Ayumi said, "They have good painting skills and have learned about the work content of assistants, so if Mr. Aoyama needs them, the company can let them come to you to try."

"Is that so?"

Lin Qingshan blinked and thought about it, "Okay, but I first value the painting skills and style, and the other things are secondary."

His painting style was basically determined during the "Edgewalker" period, that is, the painting style is as exquisite as oil painting.

Whether it is the serialization of "Chainsaw Man" or the "Flame Fist" single volume.

His painting style has always maintained this almost artistic exquisiteness.

After all, how can you change the style of painting just like that? One manga has a different style?

Then people will definitely think that your work may be suspected of plagiarism.

Fortunately, whether it is "Edgewalker", "Chainsaw Man" or "Flame Fist", the difference in style is not that big.

At least it is not so big that the style of "One Piece" will be like that of "Detective Conan".

At least others can't see it.

Ayumi Ito nodded with a smile, "I know, Mr. Aoyama, the company also knows your pursuit of painting. So they are all art students, and their painting skills are pretty good."

"Then how about this..."

Lin Qingshan nodded and said, "Let's make an appointment at that time, and I'll see their painting skills on the spot."

"No problem."

Ayumi Ito nodded, "I'll talk to the company later and ask them to make arrangements."

After discussing business, Lin Qingshan said with a smile, "Ayumi, it's almost lunch time now, why don't you stay and have a quick meal."

Ayumi Ito looked at the time, but was a little hesitant.

In fact, it was only a little after 10 o'clock in the morning, and there was still more than an hour before she got off work at 12 noon.

Even if the round-trip time was counted, she would still have nearly an hour to go back to the company to continue working.

Obviously, Lin Qingshan wanted her to stay and slack off.

But...

Why didn't she?

Ayumi Ito smiled, "Of course, that's no problem. I haven't tasted the teacher's craftsmanship for a long time."

During this period of time, she has also been able to break away from the identity of a new editor.

After all, Ayumi Ito directly produced the great Lin Qingshan, although others don't know that she basically didn't participate in Lin Qingshan's comic creation.

But Lin Qingshan's reputation is here, and Ayumi Ito has also left the internship period.

So Manjie Company recently arranged two new cartoonists for her to take charge of.

That's why she has been busy recently.

In addition, Ayumi Ito probably felt the relationship between Lin Qingshan and Gu Qianli, although she would not avoid anything because of this.

But she also tried her best to maintain a relationship of friends and colleagues with Lin Qingshan.

"Well, I have stocked up a lot of seafood recently."

Lin Qingshan took out the seafood he bought and laughed heartily, saying, "These three dried abalones are absolutely sweet!"

Ito Ayumi looked at Lin Qingshan's joyful smile and suddenly said with a smile, "Speaking of Mr. Qingshan's talent in food, if he uses it to draw food-themed comics, it will definitely be a big hit!"

"Well..."

Lin Qingshan thought for a while, "I do have some ideas..."

In the past life, "Cooking Master" and "Gourmet Hunter" were both very good food shows, and there was also a "Aphrodisiac Spirit" which was actually the leader of the food show in the post-manga era.

But unfortunately, the fate of food shows seems to have always been very unfortunate.

Except for "Cooking Master", both "Gourmet Hunter" and "Aphrodisiac Spirit" were tragically cut off in the later period.

This seems to basically indicate that cooking comics are basically dead in the later stages...

"But I probably won't draw it."

Lin Qingshan said regretfully, "After all, cooking comics are too difficult to draw..."

"That's right, Mr. Aoyama's current works are very good."

Ito Ayumi nodded and said with a smile, "Especially "Flame Fist"... It's really an impressive comic. Mr. Aoyama is a genius in comics, and his comics always make people think."

"And because of this, and the success of the animation "Edge Walker", it seems that the teacher has attracted a lot of attention in the industry recently."

I have something to do today, so I won't update for the time being... I will update next weekend!
