Big Manga

Chapter 45: Assistant

After returning home, Meng Huo began to prepare for the next comic.

In fact, he doesn't know the specific difference between shoujo manga and shonen manga, but he understands that the characters in shoujo manga are mostly handsome men and beautiful women, and the content of the story is mainly luxurious and gorgeous love. This kind of manga tends to be more perfect in terms of painting style. It must be beautifully drawn.

Meng Huo chose "Inuyasha", a juvenile manga drawn by a female author.

The background of the story of "Inuyasha" is set in the Warring States Period. It tells the story of the half-demon Inuyasha, a hybrid of humans and monsters, and Kagome, a third-year junior high school girl who traveled through time and space to 500 years ago through the bone-eating well of her shrine, looking for the "four souls". The fantasy adventure story of the fragments of "Jade".

The main characters in this manga are all beautiful. Although the content is mostly about fighting, the love scenes are also prominent. It can be regarded as a shoujo manga.

However, choosing "Inuyasha" was an unprecedented challenge for Meng Huo. The animation ratings of this manga are very high, but its manga is much worse, and the sales volume is not very high. There is a huge gap with "Detective Conan".

The commercialization tendency of this comic has been criticized by many people. Meng Huo chose it, and it is no problem to earn several million within six months, but if he wants to become more popular, he has to bear the risk.

He had to make some revisions, but it took a lot of effort to make a move. Even the revision of the details meant that Meng Huo had denied the inherent memory in his brain, and the comic storyboard and other things had to be overthrown and redone. Naturally, Meng Huo didn't want to take too big a step. He carefully studied "Inuyasha", and found that there were three places that could be modified.

One is to streamline the content. This manga has too many tedious and boring contents that have nothing to do with the main line. These contents are of little significance, and they are also the most hated place in the previous life. Meng Huo doesn't intend to change the main plot, but removing unnecessary content can make it more attractive.

The second is the historical background and environment. Since there are witches in China, the background of the story can be set in China—and Huaxia has a vast land and resources, and there are countless secret places in Lingshan. Meng Huo wants to make the world shown in "Inuyasha" more magnificent.

The third is the image of monsters. The characters in the story of "Inuyasha" are basically monsters, and the important monsters are all beautiful. However, other passer-by monsters A, B, C, D are obviously treated differently, ugly ones cannot be looked at directly, and there are too many bugs.

Meng Huo feels uncomfortable every time he sees bug-like monsters flying around. Do you dare to be creative? He wants to change these passers-by, A, B, C, D, and increase the types of monsters, and this is what Huaxia lacks most.

The three major revisions, in fact, in addition to streamlining the content, the other two are beautification. Meng Huo thought that it was a shoujo manga anyway, so he should beautify it, make the main characters more beautiful, make passers-by monsters more distinctive, and make the environment beautiful and spacious.

"Simply handsome!"

When Alice saw the first few manuscripts, she couldn't help but screamed.

"Beautiful, so beautiful!" Stars appeared in her eyes, and this new work perfectly matched her sense of beauty: "Meng Huo, believe me, even if there is no story, this new work will not worry about selling just by selling paintings!"

Alice felt that Meng Huo was a natural girl killer. His paintings were really beautiful. The pictures in this new work were much better than "Detective Conan".

But this is a natural result. "Detective Conan" describes the crime and reasoning in the city. The picture is limited to the room and the scene of the crime. It is difficult to draw the background well, so every time it is a character pretty.

However, "Inuyasha" is different. The background of this comic is the natural environment such as mountains, villages, clouds, rain and fog.

And these things just can show the painting skills and make readers have the highest aesthetic feeling.

Of course, another reason is that Meng Huo's painting skills have improved a lot during this period.

"The name of the manga is "Inuyasha". No problem. I'll ask them to release the trailer when I get back." Alice wrote down the manga information. She doesn't belong to the editorial department of Weekly Girls, but Meng Huo's manga is still in charge of her.

The manga trailer will be released in a few days, and the editorial department of Weekly Girls has been pressing for a long time. As long as Meng gets approval, the serialization can be launched next week. Alice wasn't worried about this, but Meng Huo was about to open a second comic book, which meant he needed an assistant.

"How many assistants do you want, what are your requirements for them?"

Alice asked Meng Huo, and Meng Huo thought for a while: "I don't know what the assistant is, as long as he can help me double the painting speed of "Detective Conan" and "Inuyasha", that's fine."

He spoke vaguely, and Alice was a little perplexed.

But when she went back to the editorial office and told her about it, something unexpected happened. Several editors excitedly told her that their professional cartoonists could serve as assistants at a low price. Obviously, the original cartoonists of Weekly Boys want to meet He Xi, or to go to him to study further.

Many cartoonists started their debut as assistants, and they understood that this is a good way to learn skills.

After two days of selection, Alice took a fancy to a man and a woman, asked them to sign a non-disclosure agreement and brought them to Meng Huo's house.

"This is Teacher Tomato from "Weekly Boys." Alice introduced the two to Meng Huo: "And this is Teacher Huameng from "Weekly Girls". Both of them are skilled and experienced professionals. Cartoonists, just pay them 5,000 Huaxia coins every month."

The two cartoonists were both in their early thirties, with above-average appearance. They turned out to be professional cartoonists, and the cheap employment fee made Meng Huo very happy.

"Teacher Tomato, Teacher Huameng, hello."

He greeted the two assistants, and they came out of their stupor.

"He, He Xi teacher!"

"Are you really Teacher He Xi?"

The two professional cartoonists couldn't believe their eyes. According to legend, Mr. He Xi is a genius boy, but this is too young!

Both Tomato and Hua Meng are the top cartoonists of "Weekly Boys" and "Weekly Girls". They came to be He Xi's assistants this time, which made other colleagues envious, but the moment they really saw Teacher He Xi, the two No one can stay calm.

This kid is too young! Why can you be better than them at such a young age!

Meng Huo could tell by their expressions that it was not good. Age was his biggest flaw. If this problem was not dealt with, it would be difficult for these two assistants to be willing to paint for him.

"I am a cartoonist, comics have nothing to do with age."

Just one sentence immediately made the two teachers blush, and Meng Huo obviously saw through their thoughts.

But he is right, manga has nothing to do with age, whoever is good at manga can be the next generation.

"Teacher He Xi, please give me more advice."

Hua Meng and Teacher Tomato put aside their complicated thoughts, and said to Meng Huo as assistants: "I will trouble you in the future!"
