Chapter 15： assistant

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

To be honest, he originally wanted to draw the manuscripts of the first three episodes from the beginning, but now he was only interrupted by Su Lu.

But going around, since Chu Yu's workload has already been completed one-third or more, why not just finish him directly.

After all, the reason why other cartoonists only submit the storyboard name at the serialization meeting is that the comics agency requires it, and the second is that the manga manuscript drawing is too time-consuming. In case the serialization fails, it takes a lot of time to draw Comic manuscripts are wasted.

But Chu Yu didn't have such worries. Unlike Su Lu, who was confused about the plot of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance after only reading a word, he had watched the entire story of Remembrance in its entirety.

Chuyu doesn't think there will be no chance for this work to be serialized. Even if the serialization proposal on the comic fails, it is impossible for other journals not to give it a chance!

In this case, it will be drawn sooner or later anyway, and it will naturally be easier to be busy now.

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

Su Lu looked at Chu Yu and let out a sigh of relief.

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

"Other cartoonists, I also hired assistants. I visited three or five times a week, and I even stuck in his house and stared at him, so I could barely draw a word a week."

"And you, you have to draw three manuscripts for two weeks, but your face doesn't change color..."

"It's done, well, don't say any kind words!"

"Since I’ve made up my mind, I don’t have time to chat with you, Boss Su. If there’s nothing wrong with you, I’ll go to work. There are tea, fruit, and internet at home. You can play by yourself. I can’t greet you. , I'm going to draw a cartoon, 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 Lu raised his eyebrows, and was about to express his dissatisfaction with Chu Yu calling her Su Boss again, but when he looked at Chu Yu's somewhat pale face and the dark circles on his eye sockets, he still didn't bother him with this problem. .

Seeing that Chu Yu's originally tired expression became focused the moment he picked up the paintbrush, Su Lu had a lot of confidence for the serial meeting two weeks later, for some reason.

are talented and work hard, how could such a person not succeed!

"Hey...Chu Yu!" Su Lu was silent for a few minutes before interrupting Chu Yu's painting.

"I have a proposal..."

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

"Of course, I totally believe in your speed of painting and in your strength."

"But in any case, the manuscript of the two-week manuscript for a single person is still too heavy..."

"You have to go to school during the day, and come back at night to draw comics, so you stay up all night, even if your work passes the serialization proposal at the serialization meeting, but the body is exhausted, the gain is not worth the loss..."

"After all, after passing the serialization proposal, what is waiting for you is the official serialization. You can never stay in such a high-load state for a long time to stay up late!"

Chu Yu was silent for a while after hearing this, he also knew that such a state was not a long-term solution.

"Then your proposal is..."

"Do you have any thoughts of hiring an assistant!" Su Lu looked at Chu Yu.

"Please help?" Chu Yu frowned.

To be honest, he had such thoughts before, but Chu Yu admitted that he was not very rich, and he didn't know any friends in the comics circle, so this thought was just to think about it.

However, Su Lu's words caused Chu Yu to examine his situation again.

For a period of time, it’s okay to burst your liver like this, but what about the long-term? You know, only the first three episodes of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance made him so distressed during this period of time, what about after the serialization really started? Even if you start serializing long-form works in the future, the kind of work that will not end in a few years, will it explode every day?

Then I am afraid I died suddenly before the age of twenty-five!

After thinking for a while, Chu Yu told Su Lu about the difficulty of hiring a manga assistant.

One, he is not well-funded, he can't afford to hire an assistant with a high asking price, and he is afraid that the other party's level is too low, which will affect the quality of the manuscript.

Second, he doesn't have any comic assistant friends, even if he wants to ask, he doesn't know where to find it.

"Indeed, funding is a problem!" Su Lu nodded when he heard the words.

"As far as I know in Ming City, the charge for short-term comic assistants is basically 80 yuan per page, compared to only 220 yuan for your comic manga... "

Cartoonists, before they became famous, were very hardworking. I can't afford to hire an assistant. Anyone who does it by himself, 996 work is a daily routine for this group.

Only the kind of big cartoonist who relies on the issuance of pamphlets and sells the copyrights of works can have no pressure to ask several assistants to work for him.

A manga writer at the level of Chu Yu, even if he now has the support of the manuscript fee from 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 at least within this week, otherwise I stay up late every day and I am a little worried about the quality of your comics later." Su Lu After thinking about it, I still expressed my opinion to Chu Yu.

"As for the candidate..." Su Lu thought for a while and said.

"I know someone who has nothing to do recently..."

"Don't worry about her drawing skills. I used to introduce her to other cartoonists as assistants, so she is completely competent for the cartoon assistant work, and more importantly... she is still your fan. Oh!"

"My fan? From the Garden of Words?" Chu Yu asked.

"Yes... and the other party is a great beauty!" Su Lu looked at Chu Yu, UU reading www.uukanshu. com teased!

Big beauty? I think it's a big man who picks his feet

Chu Yu didn't believe Su Lu's nonsense.

"Of course, you have to decide all of this by yourself."

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

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

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

Moreover, Su Lu’s proposal is only a short-term assistant, 80 yuan per page, Chu Yu himself has completed the content of one sentence, and there are two more than 40 pages of content left to ask the assistant, which is more than three thousand yuan. This is an expense. Chu Yu could still afford it.

Otherwise, if he’s alone for a week, he might really have a physical problem!

Thinking about it later, if his work passes the serialization proposal at the serialization meeting next Friday, then in order to take care of both schoolwork and comics, the assistant will also be on the agenda. Based on this assumption, then this One week can be regarded as a running-in period between him and his assistants before the serialization of the new work.

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

Chuyu is not a mother-in-law, and he made a decision quickly after figuring it out.

"In that case, the assistant candidate will trouble Boss Su!" Chu Yu nodded to Su Lu.

"You said it again!"

Su Lu couldn't help it when he heard the words, and squeezed Chu Yu's face with both hands and pulled it to the sides.

"How many times have I told you."

"Don't call me Boss Su!"

Chu Yu was in pain, and said hurriedly.

"So clean, if it's done!"

(Sister Su, wrong, wrong!)
