Big Manga

For Baihan, the upcoming vacation will become an important watershed in her life.

The two-week transition time has come. On this weekend, she will officially end any comic assistants who have cherished any regrets and begin her own comic career. There are several other old assistants in the same situation as her.

On the night when Meng Huo returned to Suhua, the assistants heard the news, and then they had their last party at the Dessert Shop of He Xi's Home.

"After today, we are going to part ways." There was no new assistant to attend the party, and Xi Wenlin was not there. In the past, he always maintained an optimistic and unstoppable melancholy on his tomato face: "I have been a teacher He Xi for so many years. Assistant, when it comes to the end, I feel a little bit reluctant."

He was reluctant to regret it, and also reluctant to bear "Detective Conan", and the two female cartoonists did not have joy on their faces. The success of the new cartoons could not make them get rid of the same loss as Tomato.

The career that has been struggling for many years is coming to an end, and everyone feels a little bit lost in their hearts.

"After finishing this job, I will gradually alienate my teacher from now on, right?" a female cartoonist asked.

"Without contact with Mr. He Xi's work, it will be difficult for us to see the teacher in the future." Her young partner smiled wryly: "Aside from his assistant, do you think Mr. He has any connection with other cartoonists?"

Of course not—Tomato thinks so. He lives in Jiayuan District and doesn't have the worry of these two female cartoonists. But he also knew that Teacher He Xi was busy with work and would not have time to contact other cartoonists.

These six or seven years of experience have proven this point. Apart from contact with his assistant, He Xi has little time to chat with other cartoonists. The cartoonist who has no contact at work wants to see He Xi. There may only be one chance for a carnival every year.

He Xi will have time to communicate with other cartoonists during the carnival. But not every year. If these two female cartoonists no longer serve as his assistants. In the future, he will inevitably become estranged from He Xi.

"boom……"

There was a sound of the cup tilting, and Tomato looked over and saw Baihan wiping the table in a hurry-her face was pale and she seemed to be shocked.

Baihan was indeed hit. She hadn't thought about what the two female cartoonists were talking about before. It turns out that an improper assistant not only loses her job, she may also lose the opportunity to contact Teacher He Xi.

"Baihan..." Tomato called her name, Baihan was startled, raised his head and asked: "Teacher Tomato. What's the matter?"

"What's the matter...How is your new comic preparation?" Tomato asked. He watched Baihan for two weeks, and her state made him angry when he looked at her. He didn't want to be scornful at the last party. , Decided to make things clear.

"The Flower Season" is on fire, and my comics will soon be serialized in "Weekly Shonen", and it will definitely become popular." Tomato has the confidence of a professional cartoonist and is not worried about his comics.

"We have no news about your comics among the assistants." Tomato looked at Bai Han: "It's not easy to be a cartoonist who can be the assistant of Teacher He Xi. Don't embarrass us."

Baihan's face became paler.

"Okay. Tomato teacher, don't scare Baihan like this!" The cartoonist sitting next to Baihan held Baihan's hand. Said: "Don't be nervous, just take your time, you should be more confident."

Bai Han felt that he had been seen through by these people, and the facts were similar.

Both Tomato and these two female cartoonists came from rookie cartoonists. Although their respective experiences are different, they have also experienced Baihan's current hesitation.

They are still quite optimistic about this companion. Baihan is not very old and has great potential for future development. He may grow up to be another famous cartoonist.

"Baihan, do you want to hear our story?" the female cartoonist said suddenly, and Tomato looked at it suspiciously, not knowing what she was going to do.

But he quickly understood that the female cartoonist did not wait for Bai Han to refuse, she told the story of herself and the cartoon, how she made her debut and how she met Teacher He Xi—Tomato listened and understood her idea.

In fact, what she was doing was the same as what Tomato wanted to do just now, that is, she wanted to unravel Baihan, but the method she used was more euphemistic, and she directly used her own experience to make Baihan understand.

This method is very useful. There are too many similarities in the experiences of cartoonists, and they can influence each other. Every cartoonist can see his own shadow from other people, and Bai Han can also be seen in the stories of female cartoonists in the past. I found that she was the same as herself, the female cartoonist had been confused and wandering, and Bai Han was not a special one.

But after listening to the female cartoonist's speech, Baihan didn't seem to have a deep feeling, and fell silent.

Tomato took a sip of water: "I want to tell my story too, do you want to listen?"

He was evoked by the story told by the female cartoonist, and he also had an urge to tell what happened in the past.

"I remember... Teacher Tomato, are you the first person to be Teacher He Xi's assistant?" The two female cartoonists were taken aback, and then they showed more interest than Bai Han: "You tell me, what do we want to hear? Pity the teacher's debut!"

"The first person to be Teacher He Xi's assistant was not me, it was my wife..."

Tomato shook his head, but when it comes to teacher He Xi's debut, he may know better than Hua Meng, after all, he has been paying attention to He Xi very early.

But he didn’t start directly from He Xi, but said: “Let’s start from my debut. I am the first batch of cartoonists in China to make debut. The definition of cartoonists at that time is different from that of current cartoonists. Strictly speaking, the cartoonist at that time should be called an adapted cartoonist."

"The manga giant at that time was neither Zhongxia nor Phoenix... but Longteng, which is now the Longteng company..." Tomato fell into the memory: "Longteng has many talented cartoonists. I didn't take it seriously there, teachers. I also know that, speaking of him, he was still my enemy at that time, and his character at that time was not..."

His experience is a very long story, spanning more than ten years, and Bai Han was not used to it at first. But he was quickly attracted by his sad experience. Then she knew it was before He Xi appeared. Cartoonists are not a good profession. Many cartoonists have to rely on paintings that sell meat to survive.

The person Baihan knew was not such a talkative person before. He hurt many girls, even a girl that Tomato liked. When he heard this, Baihan was itching with hatred. It turns out that Teacher Tomato is so pitiful. A female cartoonist almost smashed the cup. Swearing is a scum.

"...I have worked in Phoenix for several years, and the comics industry has not changed like stagnant water, and then suddenly one day..." Tomato stopped here, his eyes glowing, and said: "One day, teacher He Xi appeared Now! He appeared suddenly, like a flame, and in an instant it ignited the whole world..."

Tomato's tone gradually rose, and he began to tell He Xi's story, as if he had returned to the day when the comics era had just begun. At that time, someone could have imagined that a mere teenager would change the whole world. Change the destiny of countless people.

"...When I first saw Mr. He Xi's cartoon, I didn't like him. On the contrary, I hated the appearance of such a genius..."

Tomato returned to his memory. He talked about how he hated He Xi, how He Xi changed his mind with comics, and also talked about his battle with He Xi. How difficult it was to be born, and how to correct evil in the end...

Bai Han had heard of these stories before, but she had never heard them so concretely. Tomato tells the story he saw with a person beside him, so that Bai Han was fascinated by it, as if he saw the young man back then. Teacher He Xi stood alone in a world full of powerful enemies, but he was always neither humble nor uttered. He conquered everyone with just one paintbrush.

She never thought that so many things had happened in the comics world, and the road of teacher He Xi was not so smooth. He encountered a lot of dangers, a lot of pressure, survived a lot of difficulties, defeated and conquered a lot of enemies before he came to this day, and he has reached the throne of the supreme manga in China.

"This is Mr. He Xi. I have witnessed everything after his debut..." Unknowingly, Tomato's topic has changed from himself to He Xi's body. When telling the story of He Xi, Tomato himself felt that It's boiling.

"Teacher He Xi has never given up. He is brave enough to face any difficulties, and has always maintained that original intention of comics. We are all following his back and walking all the way. It can be said that... everything we do today is Teacher He Xi personally beat it down."

"Baihan." Tomato turned his gaze to Baihan and increased his voice: "Now every cartoonist makes his debut, he can directly face the huge readers trained by Mr. He Xi. Eight years ago, I think that readers of this size I didn't dare to think, how lucky the cartoonist who debuted now!?"

"Now as long as the cartoons are well drawn, the entire Huaxia will be your readers-you have such good conditions to debut, why are you still here to blame yourself? Why do you want others to comfort you? Why don't you move forward on your own?"

Why are the three sentences like a giant hammer hitting Baihan's head, exposing the weakness in her heart at a glance.

"He Xi, if the teacher was as timid as you back then, how can he be our teacher today if he is talented?" Tomato looked at Bai Han: "The teacher let you out, it means he believes in you! Why are you afraid instead? Shrinking and betraying his trust in vain!?"

This last paragraph completely stabbed Baihan's weakness.

Baihan's eyes suddenly became red.

"I don't know... It turns out that everyone came here like this..." Bai Han took out the tissue and wiped the corners of his eyes: "He Xi, the teacher used to work so hard, I always thought he would not encounter difficulties, but I did not expect him and us same."

He Xi is indeed a genius, but the era when he first debuted is different from the present. He faces more difficulties and pressures than any cartoonist who debuts now. As long as he is so slack, comics History will change.

After hearing He Xi's story, the two female cartoonists felt very moved in their hearts, and said to Bai Han: "Then you know now? You are not special. There is no need to worry. Everyone has come all the way. We can...you You can also..."

"Yes……"

Bai Han nodded and said, the fog in her heart dissipated, and she remembered the shock of seeing comics for the first time and the feeling of picking up the paintbrush for the first time-she likes comics, how can this love be lost? Fear cover up?

She recalled the time spent with Teacher He Xi in the past, and recalled how He Xi pointed her paintings and praised her. When she made mistakes, He Xi was sometimes very harsh.

But He Xi has always been serious about comics, and he is full of concentration in his drawings.

It turns out that Teacher He Xi has always been like that, and Bai Han never thought that He Xi's paintings also hide so many experiences. Today, he may not paint for himself, but also for readers, for other cartoonists-he let his assistants leave is the best proof.

Obviously, as long as he keeps his original assistants, He Xi's comics will not make any mistakes, but he has let the assistants out. This is of course not for him, but for Baihan and the others to get out of their own way.

He Xi used his paintbrush to open up a huge market for other cartoonists, and also used his own experience to train their assistants.

"I want to be a cartoonist!" Bai Han reorganized his mood and said: "I want to use my own cartoons to bring joy to readers and share my story with everyone... Just like teacher He Xi, for the cartoonists behind Blaze a trail..."

She recovered her dream and her original intention.

After hearing Baihan’s words, Tomato and the two female cartoonists both smiled. Tomato ordered a bottle of wine, and then poured Baihan into the glass: "You finally understand it. Drink this glass of wine. You are a mature cartoonist just like us!"

"Give me a drink~www.ltnovel.com~ I want too!"

Watching the tomato pour the white haw and pour themselves a glass, the two female cartoonists did not hesitate to ask Tomato to pour them wine. It would be more appropriate to end their work for several years with a glass of wine.

The four people picked up the wine glasses and touched them. Baihan was about to twist his nose to drink. The two female cartoonists suddenly stopped her and said two more words separately.

"Speaking ahead, Baihan, after drinking this glass of wine, you will be our competitor in the future!"

"Yes, don't think that we will show mercy to you on the affection of our fellow teachers and sisters!"

Bai Han burst into laughter, sister—this word is used well, isn't it? They are all He Xi's assistants, but they are also apprentices trained by him, just like the masters and sisters.

"I'm not afraid of you!"

She drank the wine, and the burning of alcohol seemed to give her strength. (To be continued.)
