MTL - Tokyo Video Game Tycoon-Chapter 34 Find a cartoonist
Chapter 34 Looking for a cartoonist
"Cartoonist? Why are you looking for a cartoonist?"
Takeyou Masako thought that the child would be short of money, and that the child would have a bad life.
But I never thought that when Zhu Yuxing opened his mouth, he wanted her to help find a cartoonist.
It's not that Zhu Yuxing couldn't find it himself, but he certainly couldn't find a suitable one in a short time.
As a painter, my mother may not be in the right profession, but it is definitely more reliable than finding it myself.
"Mother, I have a small business, and now I need some help to draw some posters."
"Yeah, I didn't expect Xiaoxing to start a business. It seems that you have become more and more mature, which makes my mother proud."
Takeyou Masako showed a relieved look.
But she soon said: "Since it's a poster, it must be a famous painter. I'll find you a few painters I know. Their level is very good, better than cartoonists. better."
At the level of her mother, the famous painter she said was probably the kind of traditional painter who would be famous internationally.
And this is not the type that Take Yusei is looking for.
Zhu Yuxing shook his head quickly after hearing it: "No, mother, I don't need that kind of thing, what I need is a younger painter, my products don't need such a high-level painting style, what I need is a more fashionable one. And, preferably, it's comic style."
Ask a big painter to help you paint a few original paintings, maybe in a short time.
But what I want is to let people draw original game pictures for themselves for a long time.
After all, Dragon Quest is not just one generation of products, but an evergreen tree of more than 20 generations of game IPs for more than 20 years, so you have to find someone younger, otherwise if you are too old and die in the middle, the style of painting Sudden changes will seriously affect the reputation of the game itself.
Moreover, for a somewhat famous traditional painter, even if his mother has a great face, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to agree to this kind of long-term work for others.
That kind of painter may not be willing to do this kind of trouble for you even if they give you money, they will feel that it is very cheap.
On the contrary, like some cartoonists, as long as they give enough money, they will not refuse.
Cartoons are more commercialized.
In addition, Dragon Quest was originally written by a well-known cartoonist, and Take Yusei does not plan to change anything on this point.
"So, then I may not have any good candidates to recommend to you, because I really don't know much about the comics industry, but I can give you the contact information, and he may be able to help you."
"who is it?"
"This is the editor of an art magazine in the past, but now he seems to have jumped to the manga magazine as the editor-in-chief. He must have a very suitable candidate."
Going directly to the editor-in-chief to select people made Zhu Youxing's eyes light up.
"Mother, you are the best, your suggestion is really good!"
"Doubt? Xiaoxing, you seem to have changed a lot. You haven't seen each other for so long, and you know that you are trying to please your mother. Talk more in the future, my mother likes to hear it!"
Takeyou Masako is very happy.
The former Zhu Yuxing was somewhat dull, not good at words, and it was quite difficult to hear the compliments from children.
"No problem! Love your mother!"
hung up the phone, and Zhu Yuxing immediately dialed the number his mother left behind.
On the other end of the phone, Takeyou Masako was still holding the phone, blinking her eyes.
"Xiao Xing, he actually said he loves me?"
Suddenly, I am in a great mood today!
Ikeda Daigo is a man of about thirty-six or seven years old, and his hair has been slightly bald due to the long-term work of staying up late.
He likes to wear slippers when he goes to work, and sits with other editors very casually and chats about the daily life of the cartoonists under him.
"Teacher Junji has been out of print a lot recently, Oda, you have to pay more attention, otherwise there may be problems."
"Oh, editor-in-chief, it's not like you don't know, Mr. Juner is always missing, and now I can't find where he is."
"Idiot, go to his door and squat. If he doesn't show up, you will keep squatting."
Oda said weakly, "Editor-in-chief, it's winter now..."
"What happened in winter?" Ikeda Daigo glared, "Our job is to be responsible for the teachers and for the readers, to buy some gifts, which will be reimbursed by the money magazine society."
"Okay... okay."
After scolding Oda, Dawu Ikeda shook his head helplessly.
The life is not very good now, but there are several cartoonists and teachers who do not cherish it, and he is very helpless.
"Recently, isn't Tsuguya-sensei's swordsman legend still not enough?"
Ikeda Daigo looked at another editor at this time.
The editor shook his head: "No, now the evaluation has been reduced to the half line, in fact, it should be cut off this week."
"Hey... let's stick to it for another month, if it still doesn't work... let Mr. Tugu tell me, and then... let him rest for a while before painting."
When said this, Daigo Ikeda seemed a little weak.
Tsuchiya-sensei used to be a manga artist he trained.
After the first manga got very good results, it began to fail.
The so-called debut is the pinnacle.
In the past five years, I can only rely on the original capital of the first book, and have never produced any excellent products.
Because of the past dividends, Mr. Tugu can continue to serialize his works until now. If it is a new cartoonist, there are not so many opportunities at all. However, the magazine is not a philanthropist, and they have given Mr. Tugu a lot of opportunities.
The atmosphere was a little heavy, but at this moment, Daigo Ikeda's cell phone rang.
"I'll take a call."
The phone bell relieved the dull atmosphere a bit.
It’s really hard to live right now. Fortunately, no matter how poor people are, they still have money to buy some magazines, so the magazines are doing pretty well, and they can have a more relaxed atmosphere.
"Mosimoxi, I'm Daigo Ikeda."
"Hello Ikeda-kun, my name is Zhu Yuxing, I am a game maker. My mother recommended you to me and said that you can help me find a suitable candidate."
Ikeda Dawu: "???"
Ikeda Daigo was confused.
What is the game maker?
Your mother recommended?
"Wait, who is your mother?"
Ikeda Daigo suddenly reacted to Take Yusei's surname.
Bamboo Tour?
"My mother, Masako Takeyou, is a painter."
"It turned out to be Mr. Masako's child. I'm glad you could call. Is Mr. Masako okay now?"
Ikeda Daigo, who was still a little casual at first, suddenly regained his energy.
Takeyou Masako is now a well-known painter abroad.
Before that, Masako Takeyou also graciously helped him get out of the difficult quagmire.
So when he heard that it was Mr. Masako's child, he became very serious.
Take Yusei on the other end of the phone said, "My mother is fine now, and she should be holding an exhibition abroad now."
Ikeda Dawu sighed: "Mr. Masako is really powerful, and can make a name for herself as a woman. I have always admired Mr. Masako. By the way, what did you say you need to ask me for, Zhuyou-kun? Please feel free to mention it. , I will not refuse where I can help."
"That's it, I have some products that I need to do some painting promotions, and I think it's better to prefer comic-style paintings, so I want to find a well-known cartoonist to help me do this, of course, The return will also satisfy the other party.”
"Just painting some posters? That's totally fine, I can arrange it for you right now."
Zhu Yuxing shook his head at this time: "No, it's not just about drawing propaganda posters. If possible, I hope to be a cartoonist who can cooperate for a long time. In the future, I hope that the other party can assist me in drawing texts such as formula books."
