Big Manga

Of course, apart from "Soul of Chess", Meng Huo was also busy with another matter.

He was meeting cartoonists affiliated with the Phoenix Company and extending out from all over the world. During the time he stayed in Tokyo this time, he invited nearly 80% of the cartoonists in the Far Eastern District to meet, and deepened his understanding of the cartoonists of the Phoenix Company. current situation.

There are many reasons for doing this, one of which is to deepen connection and understanding, and it can also drive encouragement. The cartoonists of Phoenix Company all regard 'He Xi' as a role model, and Meng Huo's actions can gather popularity.

Another reason is to prepare for the future assistants of "Soul of Chess". Meng Huo can keep creating "Soul of Chess" by himself within a month, but after a month, "Light Music Girl" is over, and he has to be busy with the new animation , and may have to need help from an assistant at that time.

But it is a pity that it is quite difficult to find assistants for "Soul of Chess". In addition to the requirements for painting skills, it also requires very professional people. In order to avoid loopholes, it is best for this assistant to have a certain understanding of Go, or to be willing and good at contacting and learning the Go industry.

Cartoonists from all over the world had obviously heard about this, and tried their best to show off their strength when they came into contact with Meng Huo. But so far—when the fifth chapter of "Soul of Chess" was launched, Meng Huo still couldn't find a suitable candidate.

The fifth chapter of "Soul of Chess" was released on time in the third week, and "Weekly Boys" was reprinted again, and it was still swept away.

The new serialization has been popular for three consecutive weeks, and it is far ahead of other comics in Phoenix's flash report, and it is also in the forefront of the rankings of various newspapers and websites-now, except for those who are prejudiced, no one can deny the success of "Soul of Chess" up.

It is also because of this that the desire of cartoonists to serve as assistants of "Soul of Chess" has become stronger and stronger. They prepared very hard, but unfortunately no one was recognized by Meng Huo. Meng Huo's requirements for "Soul of Chess" are quite high, and he is not willing to compromise.

In addition to his assistants, there is another unknown reason for him to contact these cartoonists-to treat his "psychology of being tired of cartoons". This reason sounds strange, but it is the real deal. And the person who came up with this method was not Meng Huo, but Alice.

The reason why Meng Huo spent time in contact with ordinary cartoonists was Alice's suggestion.

Time goes forward to the day when "Soul of Chess" was first released. Meng Huo followed Alice to the orphanage. When he first went there, he didn't understand what Alice wanted to do, but it didn't take long. Meng Huo noticed Alice's reason was very simple.

"I want you to feel other people's passion and pursuit of comics."

When returning to Ninghai,

Alice said so.

She told Meng Huo that she had noticed something wrong with Meng Huo's state very early on, but she had never been able to find a suitable solution. In the end, I had no choice but to choose the 'infection' treatment, which had a slow effect but might be very effective.

This treatment is a stupid way. Let Meng Huo get in touch with some children and cartoonists who are passionate about comics, so that he can regain his original feeling.

To get back these feelings, contacting comic readers is not very helpful. Alice observed this during the carnival, and Meng Huo didn't get back the feelings from the readers. He is a manga artist, and perhaps he can only find common ground in people who also work hard for manga.

That orphanage was an experiment, and it turned out to be working.

Meng Huo spent a day in an orphanage, and those orphans were not comic readers. It's about people who have the potential to become cartoonists. Their hard work and earnestness were truly reflected in Meng Huo's eyes. It's hard to imagine how those disabled children worked so hard to seize this opportunity.

And they understand society better than anyone else, on their terms. No matter how hard you try, the possibility of eventually becoming a cartoonist is very slim. But even so, Meng Huo hadn't seen them give up, and he understood their thoughts during the contact.

Even if you can't become a manga artist, you can become an assistant or an animator through hard work. This has become their dream.

On that day, Meng Huo discovered the great changes he had brought to the world, in the wave of comics he set off. Due to the unreasonable high-speed proliferation of the market and the runaway wild horses in the comics industry, the future will be over the next ten years. The demand for talents in the technology of "manga" has become extremely large.

As long as you work hard, you will surely survive in the future. In this era, many children are working hard towards comics with enthusiasm.

Meng Huo was moved, he was moved by the enthusiasm of these children, the same - he also saw the shadow of himself in these children. Although the reasons are different, he also worked so hard back then. The basis of his comics did not come from psionic power, but from the same hard work as others.

No matter in his previous life or this life, he has never stopped painting in his hand. He spent more time and energy on comics than on anything else combined. Wouldn't it be a betrayal of his past to simply throw it away?

And can he throw it? In this era of big waves, Meng Huo's cartoons are changing the world. He can make the industry go further. Here, he can make thousands of people find their dreams and jobs, and he is also changing many lives. .

The cartoonist He Xi is no longer a cartoonist alone. If he stops drawing cartoons, it will bring nightmares to countless people. Whether it is Fenghuang, Zhongxia, readers, game developers, cartoonists, and other thousands of practitioners, once He Xi leaves, the comic industry will soon shrink.

Meng Huo realized that he was carrying a heavy burden, which was responsibility, but also honor.

So he wants to find his enthusiasm, cooperate with Alice, and rely on contact with people who are also passionate about comics and tirelessly draw comics, so as to remind him of his interest in comics. This probably won't be reversible, but it at least works.

After two weeks, Meng Huo seemed to have something more in his heart. Although they were a bit vague, he still couldn't tell whether it was the enthusiasm he had before. But at least, when he watched cartoonists from all over the place excitedly talk about "Soul of Chess" and showed him the manuscripts they were going to prepare as assistants, Meng Huo seemed to have a new feeling for "Soul of Chess".

He doesn't have an assistant yet, but whenever he draws "Soul of Chess" alone in the dead of night, he always feels at ease.

"I'm right here, I'm in the manga..."

Meng Huo felt that his soul was slowly melting into his paintings. (to be continued)
