Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

"Besides, there's one more thing."

After talking about animation production, Yang Dahai said again.

"ah?"

Lin Qingshan looked at Yang Dahai with a strange expression, and muttered, "Why are you like the father in Jackie Chan's Adventures... There is one more thing... There is one more thing..."

"Ah? Teacher Qingshan, what are you talking about...Jackie Chan, what dad, who is this?"

Yang Dahai asked with some confusion.

"Nothing, but... Chief Editor Yang, tell me, how many other things do you have?"

Lin Qingshan wanted to scratch his head, but suddenly remembered what Gu Qianli said before.

He gave up scratching his head, but instead lowered his hand to his neck and scratched it slightly.

"Ahem, really one last thing, one last thing okay."

Yang Dahai said seriously.

"That's it. Teacher Qingshan, after finishing "Edge Walker", do you have any other plans?"

He asked sincerely, "Let's start another comic. Do you have any ideas now?"

When Lin Qingshan heard this, a cheerful smile appeared on his face, "You are telling me this, I have actually thought about my next comic book a long time ago, called..."

"Chainsaw Man."

"Chainsaw Man?"

Yang Dahai was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What is the specific plot and setting?"

"The story takes place in a world similar to modern society, but full of monsters called "demons".

Demons are monsters that are born with the names of animals, plants, concepts, and everything else, and are beyond human intelligence.

It was believed that the more terrifying the name, the greater the demon's power.

Demons can maintain strength and heal injuries by replenishing human blood. Demons that occupy human corpses are called "demon". Although they have the appearance of humans, their personalities are demons. There are only a few exceptions that can maintain rationality.

Demon hunters are people who make a contract with demons and make it their business to destroy demons. They include the government's "Public Security Demon Anti-Demon Special Course" and private demon hunters. "

Lin Qingshan directly copied and pasted the encyclopedia of "Chainsaw Man" in his memory.

"Is this a fantasy comic setting?"

Yang Dahai frowned a little.

He actually hopes that Lin Qingshan will continue to draw cyberpunk science fiction works similar to "Edge Walker".

This is safer.

but……

If it were the young man in front of me, since Lin Qingshan could draw a blockbuster cyberpunk science fiction work like "Edge Walker".

It is also possible to draw other better works.

But the most important thing is to look at the comics themselves.

"Teacher Aoyama, do you have the drawings for "Chainsaw Man" now?"

Yang Dahai asked.

"There are about thirteen chapters so far."

Lin Qingshan said, "I will leave it to Bumi when the time comes."

"Bumi..."

Yang Dahai frowned.

Originally, he was thinking that Lin Qingshan, a new cartoonist, would be in charge of Ayumi Ito, a new editor who was unfamiliar with the business, so that she could practice her skills.

But Lin Qingshan is no longer a new cartoonist.

He has become an instant hit with "Edgewalker" and has become a popular star in the comics industry.

Naturally, Ayumi Ito, a new editor, was a bit unworthy of Lin Qingshan.

The main thing is that the job of a cartoon editor is not just to ask cartoonists to submit their manuscripts, but also to pay them royalties.

An excellent comics editor not only handles the submission work of cartoonists, but also participates in the early creation of comics and communicates with cartoonists about plots, characters, settings and other related matters.

The saying that a comic editor is half the author of a work is not just a matter of words.

The main reason for this is to prevent cartoonists from going too far. For example, when drawing a plot, they directly draw a popular character to death like a clown.

Or suddenly, the imagination suddenly opens up, and a daily love story is inserted into the battle episode, or a very bizarre plot appears.

In addition, the editor also needs to control the progress of the plot and gain publicity for the work.

The most important thing is...

Build a good relationship with the cartoonist.

Now it seems that Ayumi Ito, a new editor, has not assisted Lin Qingshan in creating comics, negotiating the plot, and controlling the rhythm.

Second, they did not specifically seek publicity and promotion resources for "Edge Walker".

The only saving grace is that she seems to have a pretty good relationship with Lin Qingshan.

This proves that Ayumi Ito is worth cultivating.

But if Lin Qingshan wants to create his next work, he still needs a veteran editor with good strength and experience.

After all, a well-established and experienced editor can help him create better works.

"Teacher Qingshan, due to work arrangements, your next work may need to be replaced by another editor."

Yang Dahai said tactfully.

However, Lin Qingshan frowned. This was the first time he frowned when he always looked at him with a smile.

"Why?"

"This is the company's work arrangement, and if you, Mr. Qingshan, have the help of an experienced editor in the future, you will be able to create comics with twice the result with half the effort, and your efficiency will be improved a lot."

Yang Dahai said with a smile.

"No need, I think Ayumi is fine."

Lin Qingshan shook his head and said.

He and Ayumi Ito have become quite familiar with each other during this time.

Therefore, he was reluctant to replace Ayumi Ito and let others be his editor.

the most important is……

His works copied from previous lives are already very complete.

There is no need for anyone else, including himself, to dictate changes to the plot or anything like that.

Ayumi Ito never gives any advice on his works, and usually just directs the plot, which is good.

What if a different editor came over and pointed fingers at the comic plot he drew, asking him to change this or that.

On the contrary, this becomes a bigger problem.

Such as the previous plot of Pyrrha's death in "Edge Walker".

Although Ito Ayumi had some objections at the time, in the end, Lin Qingshan’s insistence allowed the plot to pass.

This is very much in line with Lin Qingshan's wishes.

If there were other editors who were more assertive, maybe Lin Qingshan would not change, and he would definitely not be able to survive.

So... Although Ito Ayumi can't help him, if you don't help him and let him copy the original painting, that is the best help.

"That's it, it's settled, I'll hand the manuscript to Ayumi, and I'll continue to work with Ayumi on the next comics."

Lin Qingshan seemed to be understatement, but in fact he said it to the point.

Looking at Lin Qingshan's firm eyes, Yang Dahai opened his mouth and said, "Okay then, I will continue to give in to Teacher Qingshan."

Since Lin Qingshan insists on this, he can't force it.

After all, this is not a big deal in general, and the opinions of the cartoonists themselves are relatively important.

"Well! Thank you, Chief Editor Yang!"

Lin Qingshan showed a satisfied smile and said.

The two days of the weekend will end the life story line that everyone doesn't like. If you don't like it, you can read it on Monday. The three chapters from Sunday to Monday are the plot of the finale of the comic "Edge Walker".

In addition, in addition to the works on the introduction, I actually also want to write "Parasite", "Tokyo Ghoul", "Zanchi" and "eva"... If you don't like it, forget it.

Also, if my grades are not good later, I might not write so much and finish it quickly.

When it is released later, it won't be like "Edge Walker" where many plots have been drawn. I will try my best not to mention it in one stroke, and focus on describing the highlights of the plot.

But I think there are a lot of important plots and highlights in "Edgewalker", including the beginning, David and Lucy's lunar dream, Pyrrha's death, Mann's onset and death, David's onset, and what follows. Fierce battle at Arasaka Tower...

In short, it may be that I am a newbie and have trouble controlling the rhythm, and I also take certain plots for granted. Please correct me and give me your opinions, and I will try my best to change it!

In addition, I also have a plan to put it on the shelf to see the results explode. I will tell you when the time comes. I have worked very hard to save a lot of manuscripts recently!
