Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 294 Killing Killer Live Broadcast
The new assistant, Mr. Xiaohe, is not only an excellent painter, but also his ability to assist cartoonists in managing assistants is also extraordinary.

In the team, he is on the coordinating side, able to manage the cartoonist studio in an orderly manner.

Omori looked at Xiaohe with dissatisfaction. As soon as the newcomer joined the studio, he wanted to manage them, and his tone was too loud, "Do you want to be the section chief or the section chief?"

"You really know how to joke." Xiao He smiled kindly, and he looked around the studio, "The computer and printing press are the latest models, just right."

"Editor Yoshida bought it." Higashino explained.

Yoshida Koji exceeded the responsibility of the editor, and Higashino could feel his enthusiasm for the job of editing.

"Mr. Xiaohe, what is your daily reward?" he asked.

"One million yen."

Higashino nodded, "That's it."

It is less than Omori and Tanaka.

"Mr. Omori and Mr. Tanaka have been partners with the teacher for many years, and I will not replace him," Xiaohe smiled. "Then let me be a salary thief and relax."

……

In the evening, the assistants said goodbye.

Yibukiguang and Xiaohe stopped by, chatting while going home.

"Has Mr. Xiaohe been working as an assistant?"

"Yeah, I have a wife and children to support, so I have to devote all my energy to the work of a cartoonist assistant. I haven't dreamed of becoming a cartoonist for many years. People have to face reality .”

"It's so sad." Ibukiguang sighed.

It is a sad thing to give up ideals because of life.

"Every time I go home and see the children, I have no regrets." Xiao He said with a gentle expression on his face.

"Where's Ibuki-kun? What kind of work do you want to draw?"

"I can't do it," Ibuki Guang denied himself, "The work of an assistant is just to earn living expenses."

"There are also such things."

"Yes."

The two smiled at each other.

……

The original work of "Red Pepper" is "Dream Detective" by Yasutaka Tsutsui, a famous Japanese science fiction writer. His representative works include "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" and "All Sinking Outside Japan".

Higashino obtained authorization from Yasutaka Tsutsui through the channel of Shueisha.

Hearing that it was a commercial cartoonist who wanted to draw his own "Dream Detective", Yasutaka Tsutsui couldn't help being suspicious.

This work is called "a novel that cannot be made into a movie", and it is composed of countless dreams. The complexity and obscurity of the novel far exceed other science fiction novels.

So, an author of a boy manga, draw "Dream Detective"?Whether he can understand it is one thing, but whether he can embody the core and style of the work is another.

"To be honest, although "Dream Detective" is a science fiction novel, it is also a work of high quality. Adapting it into a manga..." Yasutaka Tsutsui shook his head, "There is no guarantee of income, and please ask that Mr. Akino Mirai-kun to change it Let's change the work."

He thinks, in terms of the comprehension ability of a juvenile manga author.

"I don't understand, I don't understand at all!" is common sense.

Bird Akino's future adaptation of "Dream Detective" may just be dissatisfied with his position as a commercial cartoonist, and he wants to show that he has literary accomplishment.

He will not use his work as a stepping stone for Akino's future.

But when Yoshida Koji handed the "Red Pepper" storyboard to Yasutaka Tsutsui, under his narration, Yasutaka Tsutsui was stunned for a moment.

"There are deletions, but the content has not changed. It is simpler and easier to understand than my "Dream Detective"..."

"Today's juvenile magazine cartoonists are as good as they were back then."

He couldn't help thinking of Osamu Tezuka.

"I agreed."

Yasutaka Tsutsui changed his mind.

……

Xiaohe was surprised when he heard the news. He didn't expect that the work he was going to paint was a famous science fiction novel.

He read the original, but didn't understand much.

In the novel, dreams and reality can be distinguished at the beginning. After taking notes carefully, he can understand the plot slightly.

But in the latter part of the novel, dreams and reality are more and more integrated, and they are about to become the same world. The plot is constantly changing, and elements such as science fiction, religion, dreams, reality, movies, mythology, and psychology are inserted. Xiaohe is more and more confused. What are you talking about?
After watching the storyboard of "Red Pepper" twice, Xiaohe seemed to understand a lot.

It is the story of the dream detective "Red Pepper" who finally understood what he wanted and bravely faced reality after treating patients and saving the world in a dream.

This is the main line, and the rest of the expression is more important.

In the illusory dream world, what is revealed is the problem of Japanese society.

Through "Red Pepper", Xiaohe suddenly understood "Dream Detective", a science fiction novel that satirizes mercenary politicians, pathological views on money, and so on.

"Teacher Tori Akino." Xiaohe asked in surprise: ""Paprika" is an excellent comic, but are you sure... you want to draw it?"

It's not worth it.

Children can't understand it at all, and they won't read it, so is it really necessary to spend several months of energy drawing such a cartoon?

Xiaohe, who was struggling with his family, didn't understand Higashino's approach very much.

Wouldn't it be more worthwhile to draw "Slam Dunk" a few years later, or spend energy on "Death Note"?
"Of course I have to draw it," Higashino replied with a smile, "because it's very interesting."

Sometimes Higashino would be very happy to draw works that should exist.

Especially when this work has rich connotations.

It would be a shame not to have "Chili Pepper".

……

"Death Note" has recently started to decline.

Although it is as tense and exciting as before, if the contradiction is placed on the collision of language, readers will not be able to understand it.

Moreover, there is a lot of text on the comics. Without the crisis of intuition, readers will inevitably have boring thoughts about the confrontation between Yue and L.

"It's full of words, and it gives me a headache."

"So the plot of the last few episodes of "Death Note" is that L is constantly testing Yue? It feels a bit boring."

"Ms. Bird Akino should delete these plots, can't it just be a one-shot?"

"The meeting between Yue and L, I thought it would be very exciting, but I didn't expect it to be boring."

"Yue's identity is hidden too well. I don't feel the crisis he is about to face. Give him some stimulation."

Ye Shenyue's IQ is surprisingly high. Although he is walking a tightrope, he is still step by step without leaving any traces.

L has no evidence, and even the judgment that Yue is Kira is only 5%. Now Yagami Yue seems to be able to relax a bit.

The strings that had always been tight in "Death Note" were relaxed, which made readers who were accustomed to savoring tension feel uncomfortable for a while.

And the "Death Note" battle that Yue and the police have been focusing on for four months has also made readers weak. If new changes are not added, the decline in grades may be unavoidable.

……

"Xiaozheng's score is sixth." Higashino nodded while holding the phone, "I received it, please excuse me."

Koji Yoshida said, "Just keep drawing like this," and ended the call.

Onishi looked up at Yoshida Koji, and asked quietly, "Aren't you worried, Yoshida?"

"What?" Yoshida was a little puzzled, "Is there anything I should worry about?"

"You are really leisurely." Onishi shook his head, "Of course it is about the results of "Death Note"."

"When this manga was first serialized, Xiaozheng did not fall below the third place in the ranking, but now his grades are getting worse and worse, and you actually said, "Just keep drawing like this"..."

Onishi imitated Yoshida Koji's tone and shrugged his shoulders to mock him.

"Don't damage Teacher Akino's reputation just because of your lack of care."

"Ms. Niao Qunye, who has always published high-quality manga, drew the anticlimactic "Death Note". This is all Yoshida-kun's fault."

Onishi Tsunehei is currently responsible for the work "Rookie" by Morita Shino.

Take over the work of the predecessors and serve Morita Shinho.

He hopes to get in touch with the comic works started by himself.

Only in this way can the works have their own ideas.

Koji Yoshida is a newcomer in the same batch as him, and he is actually in charge of Tori Akino's new work in the future, "Death Note", which has caused social controversy and sensation. This is such a lucky thing, and he has been jealous for a long time.

As a result, Koji Yoshida didn't take the gift of heaven seriously, which made Onishi dissatisfied.

"Oh, this." Koji Yoshida rubbed his chin, he looked at Onishi, "You don't understand that."

He said with emotion, "I have the same feeling as editor-in-chief Sasaki now. This is a feeling that an editor who has not been in charge of Mr. Akino Tori will not have."

Yoshida stared at Onishi, his eyes revealed that we are not from the same world.

"What... what..." Daxi stammered.

"That is, Mr. Akino Tori is a very worry-free cartoonist." Yoshida recalled the plot after "Death Note", slightly sighed, a little disappointed, "The crisis of declining grades? You don't need to think about it at all. Before it happened, Mr. Akino Tori had already figured out how to deal with it. As long as you follow his storyboard, the current difficulties will disappear immediately.”

"As his editor, you just need to give him a creative environment."

"It was easy but, again, very unfulfilling."

"This is the same feeling that editor-in-chief Sasaki and I will have."

"It's very complicated, it's hard to say, do you understand? Daxi."

"I see." Daxi said the same as him, "It's just a cheap and good-looking mood, bah!"

……

The pace of "Death Note" slowed down?

He Zai, who had such thoughts before, suddenly thought that he was a fool for having such thoughts.

"Death Note" didn't relax at all, instead, it rushed all the way to the conflict, which made him, an upright sophomore in middle school, so exciting that he couldn't accept it.

Especially when Yagami Soichiro was overworked and had a heart attack and collapsed.

Everyone in the manga thinks this is Kira's revenge, even the reader's Kaya thinks so.

"Yue killed his father!" He couldn't help thinking.

This plot is so explosive!

Although he later understood that this had nothing to do with Yue, when Soichiro fell down, the first thing he thought of was Yagami Yue.

He understood that although Yue was Kira, he was also Soichiro's son.

I still subconsciously think that this is something Yue can do.

Therefore, He Zai was surprised to realize that Yue was already a cold-blooded patricide in his heart.

In the past, he thought that Ye Shenyue was a savior, a god.

Now he has another idea, Ye Shenyue is a vicious criminal against humanity.

During the time Soichiro was hospitalized.

"Kira" arrogantly started live broadcasting killings, "he" threatened the TV station program group to broadcast his video tape live, and killed the host who had been boycotting Kira—Ri Rijian—under the noses of the national audience.

Afterwards, another channel's commentator who denied Kira also died.

Kira claims that he doesn't want to kill innocent people.

He hates crime and loves justice.

He doesn’t see the police as enemies, but as companions.

His wish is to create a world free from evil.

If you don't publicly express your opposition, you won't be killed by him.

But the Hanyuda policeman who went to the TV station to stop the live broadcast of Kira's murder was also killed by Kira!

"Eh?" He Zai was taken aback, "Does Ye Shenyue know Hanyuda's name?"

"Did he secretly steal police files?"

"Or? This is Mr. Akino's loophole?"

"No way, no way, this is the rigorous "Death Note"."

Although the conflict intensified to the point of threatening the police, "Kira" even threatened to execute the top police officers until they began to assist him and build a new world.

Ye Shenyue is tougher than ever, and he also suddenly exchanged "Death Eye", which can kill people just by looking at his appearance.

The following Ye Shenyue will be an enhanced version of Kira, rampant.

But He Zai has a strong sense of disobedience, this plan is not something that Ye Shenyue can make.

"Could it be that Mr. Akino Niao started to panic because of the decline in grades? He abandoned his long-standing idea of ​​fighting wits and started walking towards an absurd rhythm?"

Only focus on extreme plots and strong conflicts, and finally let go of the rationality of comics, turning "Death Note" into a comic to vent emotions?

"If that's the case, then Death Note is boring."

He Zai shook his head, and for the first time, he had the idea of ​​putting down "Death Note".

until he sees—

Soichiro Yagami, who was seriously ill, drove a fully enclosed armored vehicle straight into the gate of the TV station!

He Zai was deeply shocked by this old policeman's uncompromising heart in eradicating rape and evil.

Hanyuda was killed for exposing his appearance, which made L panic for a while. He stopped another policeman who wanted to take over, and he didn't want another useless sacrifice to appear.

L didn't have any countermeasures for a while.

The high-level police wanted to compromise, but no one was sent to stop it in front of the TV station.

And Yagami Soichiro, at this time, embodies the evocative spirit of justice.

"This is justice!"

Seeing this scene, He Zai couldn't help blurting out.

"I'll keep watching!"

Akino Mirai, who can come up with such a plot, is still trustworthy!
