My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 118: Jump jump
The tip of the pen rubbed the manuscript paper and made a rustling sound.
With slender fingers, holding the G pen tightly, it is like a programmed program, every time I write a pen without thinking.
Xu Jie came behind the young man and glanced at the young man's workbench. The water on the table was still on the console before he left, but it seemed that he didn't drink much.
Xu Jie sighed inwardly.
The young man’s name is Han Ye. Because he has been eliminated in the past six months, he wanted to change himself, so he named Diao Diao, hoping that he could be more free. But from the current point of view, little effect has been achieved.
Recently, he was not in the mood to read cartoons. Apart from knowing about "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "The Hunting Abyss", he didn't know anything else. He usually just kept holding a pen and drawing on paper.
His talent in comics, or painter, far surpasses his peers, and even surpasses Ye Hexu. Therefore, I can imitate Ye Hexu's painting style effortlessly and continue the style of Punishment.
However, such a person has some shortcomings in character.
Because of his girlfriend's betrayal six months ago, he changed a lot. In other words, the reason why he draws Punishment now is more to avoid it.
Especially three or four days ago, it is said that when Han Ye was out shopping, she unexpectedly met his ex-girlfriend. After she greeted him briefly, she showed her sweetness with others in front of him.
Han Ye's mood suddenly became very bad.
In the few days after , when the condition is good, Han Ye can not sleep for 24 hours; if the condition is not good, he may sleep for 24 hours.
Xu Jie is very worried about Han Ye's health.
Because of the nature of their professions, most cartoonists are more partial to home and do not deliberately exercise. In addition, they have a lot of work every day and the pressure brought by their grades. Therefore, after working for a period of time, The cartoonist's body usually lights up with a red light.
A cartoonist like Han Ye, who has an extremely irregular schedule, is even more likely to have health risks.
"Mr. Han, did you eat well? Didn't you drink much water." Xu Jie put the burger and milk he bought on the table.
"The manuscript has been drawn." Han Ye stopped writing and said softly.
"I know. Teacher Han's painter has been fine." Xu Jie patted Han Ye on the back.
"Then... after you take the drawing, please close the door." Han Ye did not answer Xu Jie's question.
"When was the last time you went to bed?" Xu Jie frowned.
"I don't know." Han Ye answered without thinking.
"Then when are you going to sleep?" Xu Jie frowned slightly and asked patiently.
"Is it two more hours?" Han Ye continued to lower his head to paint.
"Two hours?" Xu Jie knelt down and looked up at Han Ye's face. His eyes were black and his lips were a little chapped. "You come out."
Xu Jie berated in a low voice.
Han Ye did not answer Xu Jie.
"I told you to come out!" Xu Jie patted the table hard.
The eyes of the other three assistants immediately focused on Xu Jie's body.
Han Ye took the G pen and still wanted to paint, but Xu Jie snatched it away, pulled him by the collar with both hands, and lifted him up.
"Go out with me, I have something to say." Xu Jie glared at Han Ye.
Han Ye swayed his arms twice, and had no thought of resisting, so he was led by Xu Jie and walked outside the door.
The three assistants glanced at Han Ye sideways and kept silent. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the door was closed, and the atmosphere in the studio suddenly became much more relaxed.
Xu Jie pushed Han Ye to the corner, pressed his hands on the wall, staring at him with both eyes.
"What do you want to do? Self-harm? I have been an editor for four or five years and have never seen you like this. Do you think your body is just your own? No, many things are related to your health. It's a big deal. The "Newcomer Award" will start to be selected soon. If you fall at this time, all your previous efforts will be over."
"Xu Jie, you said... Are you looking for me just for the ‘newcomer award’?" Han Ye asked rhetorically.
"Why do you think like this?" Xu Jie widened his eyes and surprised Han Ye. "Of course not. We found you only because of your talent."
Although the "Newcomer Award" is also the main reason, if Han Ye is only average, the magazine will definitely not make great efforts to dig him over.
"What talent is not talent, it's boring... Maybe I only need to keep one work."
"You don't want to open it, do you?" Xu Jie asked in surprise.
"……"
"Do so many people care about you?"
"Who cares about me? My previous girlfriends put hats on me. Who else cares about me? Even when signing the book, the reader cares about Su Han. Now, there are readers who think the painter is Ye Teacher...what is the meaning of my existence?" Han Ye raised his head and looked at Xu Jie who stood in front of him.
"Do you really think so?" Xu Jie looked at Han Ye with a look of loss.
Han Ye turned his head and said nothing, his eyes covered with long hair.
"I see..." Xu Jie sighed, after all, Han Ye's emotions were too fragile.
After his girlfriend betrayed, I lacked a sense of security deep in my heart.
The last time he signed a book sale, some readers showed contempt after learning that he was not Ye Hexu, and it was not a small blow to him, "Go, let me take you to a place?"
"Where?"
"Jiman Bookstore. Let you see what you look like in the eyes of the store manager and readers."
Regardless of whether Han Ye was willing, Xu Jie took his wrist and walked downstairs.
When I came to Jiman, the store manager first greeted Xu Jie, and then after seeing Han Ye, his face immediately showed surprise, "Teacher Jump."
"Do you know me?" Han Ye was taken aback.
"Of course, you did an autograph book sale here in January, right?" the store manager asked.
"Yeah." Han Ye's cheeks were slightly red, but he didn't expect anyone to remember him.
"By the way, can you leave another signature, my son likes your "Crimination" very much," said the store manager.
"Does he like Teacher Su or Teacher Ye?" Han Ye turned his head.
"No, he said, his favorite cartoonist is you. Especially in the last few words, the expressiveness of the pictures of "Crimination" is very good. He thinks those pictures are very real and better than those drawn by Yelaoshr... Wait a minute. ."
The store manager left quickly, and after a while, he took back a separate copy of "The Punishment", tore off the plastic cover, and opened the cover.
"Please, jump teacher."
"Huh? Are you Teacher Diaodiao?"
A girl’s voice came from behind Han Ye. He quickly turned his head. The female high school student in front of him was looking at him in surprise, so she nodded slightly~lightnovelpub.net~ The manager also assured her that this one in front of her It's a genuine cartoonist.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to buy a copy of "Crimination"." The girl ran to the "Crimination" booth excitedly.
"Have you seen it? The cartoonist has no chance to reach readers because of his career. Just like now, although you don’t know it, many readers are supporting you, and the magazine has many letters from readers asking you about it. Situation. If you want to be recognized by others, let "Crimination" get more honor." Xu Jie patted Han Ye on the shoulder and said softly.
Han Ye is signing several readers, his expression is no longer as depressed as he was at the beginning, but it is not much better.
"The next period of time is very important, we must adjust our mentality. The opponents of this newcomer award are very strong." Xu Jie comforted.
"I want to visit the bookstore." Han Ye said suddenly.
"Huh?" Xu Jie was a little surprised and didn't react for a while, but Han Ye walked to the juvenile comics section the next moment.
Xu Jie was afraid of Han Ye's accident, so he could only follow behind him.
Jump around the bookstore for a long time, lacking in interest, and even seeing "Hunting Abyss" without any interest in picking it up.
Just when Xu Jie thought Han Ye would not buy any comics, Han Ye suddenly stopped and picked up a book.
Xu Jie's gaze immediately fell on the cover of the book. It was a long-haired girl with a sweet smile on her face and pure eyes looking at him.
""Y\'s"?" Xu Jie said silently.
"It's warm...very beautiful, isn't it?" Han Ye turned to Xu Jie on the cover, with a certain expectation in his eyes.
This guy still longs for love.
Xu Jie sighed in his heart.
