Chapter 15 Assistant

After Chu Yu heard the words, he thought for a few seconds, and finally nodded.

To be honest, he originally wanted to draw the original comics for the first three chapters, but now he was only interrupted by Su Yan.

But after going around, since Chu Yu's workload has been completed by a third and a little more, why not simply complete him directly.

After all, the reason why other cartoonists only submit the storyboard name at the serialization meeting is because the comics society has asked for it, and secondly, the drawing of the original cartoon is too time-consuming. If the serialization fails, it will take a lot of time to draw it. Comic drafts are wasted.

But Chu Yu didn't have such worries. Unlike Su Yu, who had only read one episode and had no idea about the plot of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, he had read the entire plot of the reminiscence.

Chu Yu didn't think that there was no chance for this work to be serialized. Even if the serialization proposal on Man Ying failed, it would be impossible for other journals to not give it a chance!

In this case, I have to draw it sooner or later anyway, so it will naturally be easier when I am busy now.

Moreover, Su Yan also said that submitting the manuscript directly at the serialization meeting will also allow the review editors to have a more intuitive understanding of the work, which will help deepen the impression.

Su Yan looked at Chu Yu and exhaled lightly.

"I've been an editor for so long. If nothing else, you are definitely one of the best in your attitude towards your own work."

"Other cartoonists have also hired assistants. I come to the door three or five times a week, and even if I am directly stuck in his house and staring at him, I can barely draw one sentence a week."

"And you, faced with the original manuscript of three chapters in two weeks, actually did not change your face."

"Alright, alright, stop talking politely!"

"Since I've made up my mind, I don't have time to chat with you, Boss Su. If I have nothing to do, I'll go to work. There is tea, fruit, and the Internet at home. You can play by yourself, I can't say hello to you. , I'm going to draw comics, I really can't delay any time!" Chu Yu grabbed a can of coffee, drank it in one breath, and walked to his drawing table.

Su Yan raised his eyebrows and was about to express his dissatisfaction with Chu Yu calling her Boss Su again, but when he looked at Chu Yu's pale face and the dark circles on his eyes, he still didn't bother him with such a question. .

Seeing that Chu Yu's tired expression became focused the moment he picked up the paintbrush, Su Yan felt a lot more confident about the serialization meeting two weeks later.

With talent and hard work, how can such a person fail!

"Hey Chu Yu!" Su Yan was silent for a few minutes, then interrupted Chu Yu's painting.

"I have a proposal."

"Proposal. What proposal?" Chu Yu raised his head.

"Of course, I completely believe in your painting speed, and I also believe in your strength."

"But in any case, the original script for a single person for two weeks and three episodes is still too heavy."

"You have to go to school during the day, and come back at night to draw comics. If you stay up late every day, even if your work has passed the serialization proposal at the serialization meeting, it will not be worth the gain if you are physically exhausted."

"After all, after passing the serialization proposal, what is waiting for you is the official serialization. You can't stay up late with such a high load for a long time!"

When Chu Yu heard the words, he was silent for a while, and he also knew that such a state was not a long-term solution.

"Then your proposal is."

"Do you have any idea of ​​hiring an assistant!" Su Yan looked at Chu Yu.

"Please help?" Chu Yu frowned.

To be honest, he also had this idea, but at first, Chu Yu thought he was not very rich, and he didn't know any friends in the comic circle, so such an idea was just thinking about it.

However, Su Yan's words made Chu Yu examine his situation again.

For a period of time, it's totally fine for me to explode like this, but what about in the long run? You know, just the first three chapters of the Rurouni Kenshin recollection made him so devastated during this period of time, what about after the real serialization? Even if you start serializing long-form works in the future, the kind of work that doesn't end for a few years will be like this every day?

Then I am afraid that I will die suddenly before I am twenty-five years old!

After thinking about it, Chu Yu told Su Yan the difficulty of hiring a comic assistant.

First, he was not well-funded, and he could not afford to hire an assistant who asked for a high price. He also feared that the other party's level would be too low, which would affect the quality of the manuscript.

Second, he didn't have any comic assistant friends, and even if he wanted to, he didn't know where to look.

"Indeed, funding is a problem!" Hearing this, Su Yan nodded.

"As far as I know in Ming City, the short-term comic assistant is basically charged at 80 yuan per page, compared to your 220 yuan for the manga alone in the Garden of Words."

Cartoonists, before they became famous, were very hard-working and could not afford to hire assistants. As long as they did it by themselves, 996 work was everyday for this group.

Only the kind of big cartoonist who relies on the release of a single book and sells the copyright of his works can invite several assistants to work for him without pressure.

For a manga author of Chu Yu's level, even if he now has the support of the Court of Words, it is still a bit difficult for him to hire an assistant.

"How about it, my personal suggestion is that you can hire a short-term assistant to assist you in completing the rest of the comic creation for at least this week. Otherwise, if you stay up late every day, I am a little worried about the quality of your comics in the future." Su Yan After thinking about it, he still expressed his opinion to Chu Yu.

"As for the candidates." Su Yan thought about it and said.

"I do know someone who has nothing to do lately"

"You don't have to worry about her drawing skills. I used to introduce her to other cartoonists as an assistant, so she is fully capable of working as a cartoon assistant. More importantly, she is still your fan!"

"My fans? The Garden of Words?" Chu Yu asked.

"That's right. Besides, the other party is a great beauty!" Su Yan looked at Chu Yu with a teasing expression on his face!

Great beauty? I think he's a big guy!

Chu Yucai didn't believe Su Yan's nonsense.

"Of course, it's all up to you to decide."

"As an editor, I can only say to provide you with some channels."

Chu Yu leaned his back against the wall and thought about it carefully.

First of all, if he wants to go further and further on the road of a cartoonist, he will inevitably hire a few assistants and set up a studio in the future.

Moreover, Su Yan's proposal is only a short-term assistant. One page is 80 yuan. Chu Yu has already completed the content of one chapter, and there are two more than 40 pages of content left. The assistant is more than 3,000 yuan. Chu Yu can still afford it.

Otherwise, if he is alone for a week, there may be a problem with his body!

Thinking about it further, if his work passes the serialization proposal at the serialization meeting next Friday, then in order to balance his studies and comics, the matter of hiring an assistant will also be put on the agenda. Judging from this assumption, then this A week can be used as a break-in period for him and his assistants before the new work is serialized.

And if Rurouni Kenshin failed to pass the serialization proposal, he didn't lose much.

Chu Yu is not a mother-in-law, and he made a decision quickly after he figured it out.

"That being the case, the candidate for the assistant will trouble Boss Su!" Chu Yu nodded at Su Yan.

"You said it again!"

Hearing this, Su Yan couldn't bear it any longer. He held Chu Yu's face with both hands and pulled it towards both sides.

"How many times have I told you."

"Don't call me Boss Su!"

Chu Yu was in pain and said quickly.

"Su Jie, if you know it!"

(Sister Su, wrong, wrong!)
