Chapter 14 The assistant earns a living, and is paid with an IOU
"Then I'll take my leave, Mr. Oda, thank you for your care." Namikaze Yukuru bowed.
At 11:30 in the evening, after completing ten detailed drawings, Namikaze Yukaku said goodbye.
"It's me who should thank you for your hard work, Namikaze-kun." Oda Shingo also expressed his gratitude.
He also followed the local customs with this kind of Japanese politeness.
"Then see you tomorrow, Oda-sensei." Namikaze Yukaku was about to leave.
"Ah, wait a moment." Oda Shingo suddenly took out a piece of paper, which he had written quietly just now, "This is your reward for today."
Namikaze Yukaku was stunned.
I took it and saw that it was an IOU for eight thousand yen.
"I'm very sorry, I don't have enough savings to pay the reward now." Oda Shingo bowed ninety degrees.
If there were other cartoonists or animation editors here, they would probably spit it out with great contempt: You are so shameless!
But Namikaze Yukaku quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I don't need to take payment..."
She finds working here a self-satisfying experience.
I drew ten detailed drawings in one night, which is an incredible achievement.
She felt that she was very high today, except for the places she had never been.
It is simply enjoyable under the finger of Oda Shingo (cross out) the pen.
Now that you have enjoyed it, why do you have the nerve to ask for money from a man? (fog)
"No, Namikaze-kun has worked hard and I must pay him." Oda Shingo insisted, "If possible, I will draw up a contract tomorrow. What do you think?"
In fact, the assistant's work can be done daily or weekly. Oda Shingo mainly wanted to clarify the relationship between them.
Although he is a teammate in terms of the system, Oda Shingo knows very well that he must establish a good team relationship and insists that he is the team leader and others are just employed.
Some young people co-create a certain work, which is fine if it is not famous. Once it becomes popular, there will often be issues of competition for copyright.
However, Namikaze Yukaku was different from ordinary people and accepted Oda Shingo's arrangement very easily.
She comes from a ninja family, and although she is not considered wealthy, her living expenses are not that difficult.
Moreover, Namikaze Yukaku's eyes lit up when he saw Oda Shingo's manuscript.
"Okay, Mr. Oda, then I will accept the reward. At the same time, I am honored and look forward to the assistant contract." Namikaze Yukaku solemnly collected the IOU.
If it were any other assistant, he would most likely reject the IOU with a black face.
Oda Shingo actually didn't consider the first level:
Namikaze Yukuru is a unique thing.
The Anime Demon King system has screened out such a strange person for Oda Shingo.
Because this is appropriate. According to Oda Shingo's current situation, he can really join the teammate of the IOU team!
The weird teammate who worked for nothing with an IOU!
At midnight, Namikaze Yukaku returned to his residence.
"Twelve! I drew twelve detailed sketches!" She spun around happily, then looked at her fingers, "Can I actually do it at such a speed?"
After washing up for a while, Namikaze Yukaku took out the IOU written by Oda Shingo.
"Pfft-" She couldn't help laughing.
This Oda-sensei is so interesting.
Putting away the IOU folder carefully, Namikaze Yukuru lay on the bed and prepared to fall asleep.
But for a long time, the picture of myself drawing comics was in my mind.
The sound of rustling strokes seems to still be echoing in my ears.
Today, I really started cooperating with others to create comics!
Although I am only an assistant, the works I painted are really...
marvelous!
"It's a pity that as an assistant, you can't have your name published in the work."
However, most of the credit is really due to Oda-sensei. Without him, I would never have been able to create such works.
Weird gimmicks, characters full of personality, and interesting stories kept the plot lingering in Namikaze Yukaku's mind.
She even began to fantasize about the scenes she kept drawing.
She tossed and turned until late at night before she fell asleep.
On the other side, Oda Shingo started the second step of his plan.
"Now that we have the main painting, we can start preparing for our debut." He looked at the detailed sketch of the finished product.
It only takes a short amount of time to perfect, and Namikaze Yukaku's detailed drawings can be published directly as original paintings.
However, based on his memory, Oda Shingo knew that it was not easy to make a debut.
He cautiously searched the Internet to learn about the industry knowledge to avoid the possibility of incorrect memory.
Especially since I am a soul traveler, it is easy to confuse the animation industry situation of the original earth with this world.
Especially after analyzing it on the comics web list for a long time.
This is similar to ranking sweeps on Earth. "Go to the nearby animation store." Oda Shingo went to the street to learn about the market carefully.
"It's okay, my brain is pretty reliable." After doing enough market research, Oda Shingo confirmed that the original memory was fine.
The most standard debut is to start serialization in a first-class comic publication.
The most popular comic publication on the market is Qunyingsha's "Qunying Jump".
Qunying Club is currently the leader in the comics industry, followed by "Lecture Magazine" of other lecture clubs and "Student Sunday" of Xuazikan.
But if you want to be serialized in the premier "Jump of Heroes", you have to go through five brutal levels and kill six generals!
First of all, you need to obtain a masterpiece rating from the Shoujia Awards. Generally, there are only five places available before your work can be published in "Jump of the Heroes".
On Earth, that is an award in memory of Osamu Tezuka. But in this world, it’s the Hand Family Award.
But this only allows the work to appear in the magazine, not serialization. Only after three issues of reader voting and achieving a high ranking can we hope to start serializing!
"No wonder even Sato Kenetsu wanted to give welfare in the first three chapters, and then he never looked back on the road of welfare." Oda Shingo confirmed that the situation on earth is similar, or even worse.
Every year, countless new cartoonists fail on this path.
There are even newcomers who commit suicide every year after suffering great setbacks.
"That was a battlefield littered with corpses! It's definitely not less cruel than war!" Oda Shingo sighed with emotion.
After careful market analysis and research, Oda Shingo prepared to start from two aspects.
First, after completing the appropriate length, start submitting articles to Hand Family Appreciation. Only when your work is rated as excellent can you have the opportunity to be published in the magazine.
The second is to prepare gimmicks in advance for the serialization. The website began to serialize the original version of "One Punch Man".
On Earth, the comics of "One Punch Man" exploded in popularity, and they indeed took advantage of the original version.
It's just that the painting style of the original version... is hard to describe in one word, and it is highly recognizable!
As a senior animation producer, this is equivalent to his career plan.
He pursues both standard paths and shortcuts.
Ordinary people simply can't do it, but he can.
"Let me try to see how fast I can draw the original work." Oda Shingo began to write.
As a result, a picture was ready in less than ten minutes...
The original version of "One Punch Man" has simple lines and focuses on the plot and storyboards. It is really fast to draw.
Although I had drawn a storyboard for "One Punch Man" before, the original version needed to be redrawn.
Because although the two were born from the same mother, their looks are very different.
"Draw the first chapter first." Oda Shingo made the decision.
In just over an hour, Oda Shingo has completed the original version of the first episode.
The speed is amazing.
Not only because of the systematic efficiency bonus, but more importantly because he has complete chapters of famous books in his mind.
Although it is far from the level of a copier, the time saved can be calculated several times.
"Okay! Let's see which big kid is lucky enough to publish the original version of "One Punch Man"?" Oda Shingo began to search the web site where the comic series was published.
The original version of One Punch Man on Earth was serialized on the author One's personal website and was later redrawn by manga artist Yusuke Murata.
Oda Shingo, who is familiar with operations, knows that relying solely on his personal website to become famous is a drop in the bucket. The best choice is to work on a website with capital support.
After checking two or three web sites, Oda Shingo frowned.
The terms and conditions for uploading comics are a bit excessive. Many of them require you to start charging after about thirty chapters.
This actually doesn’t fit the original version of One Punch Man.
However, Qunyingshe's web site does not impose strict requirements and even allows the author to decide when to charge.
After all, Qunyingshe is the leader in physical books, and the serialization on the web website is regarded as a gathering place for soldiers and generals in the eyes of many people.
"Since you want the hand family reward of Qunying Society, you should give priority to his family." Oda Shingo started to register.
pen name? Oda Shingo! He decided to register with his real name.
For his soul-piercing situation, it is a pseudonym to a certain extent...
As for the type of comics, he chose free comics without hesitation.
In this way, the copyright belongs entirely to you, and you don’t need to take a share of the web website’s pie.
However, the advertising income from the page has naturally nothing to do with him.
"Pure power generation mode for love." Oda Shingo said with a self-deprecating smile.
In the early stage, I generated electricity for love, and in the later stage, I went out of my way to earn money from surrounding areas.
Make money, don't be embarrassed.
"Monday's Plump" by Kiseki Himura is a typical example.
