God Descends the Second Element

"It's okay, let's start discussing comics next."

Iida Ayano smiled slightly, her smile gradually fading, and a serious look finally appeared on her face. She first looked at Wang Hao, and said with a slight headache: "Teacher Shendu, do you know the recent results of Longzhu?"

"Didn't you tell me on time every week recently? Xiaozheng's results are still around four or five. This result is pretty good, although I don't know what will happen next."

Wang Hao knew very well what Ayano Iida wanted to say, but he could not tell the other party his true plan at this time, so he had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and tell the truth about the 'known' information.

He wasn't lying, but at the same time he wasn't telling the truth.

Naturally, Iida Ayano didn't know what Wang Hao was thinking. She sighed heavily after hearing the other party's words and said: "Yes, Longzhu's current results are pretty good, and Xiaozheng's ranking has not fallen below the top six. position, but the successor is becoming increasingly weak. As the original author, you should know this best.

The ranking of Dragon Ball seems to be quite good now. This is a new work that was serialized not long ago. So far, Xiao Zheng's ranking has not fallen out of the top six, but this comic was initially ranked with an absolute advantage. Although the ranking is still impressive, the number of votes cast by readers is decreasing. "

"I know."

Wang Hao nodded silently and stopped talking after saying three short words. He stared at the scenery outside the window as if he was fascinated by it. His eyes flickered back and forth, looking very casual, making it difficult to distinguish what was in his heart. think.

Seeing his listless and unconcerned look, Iida Ayano became very angry. Suddenly, she felt that her whole body was starting to get angry. She reached out and slapped the table hard, "pop" There was a sudden sound, and he yelled angrily: "Then do you know that if this continues, I think this comic may be cut in half in about two or three months! It is not even an exaggeration to say that next week Dragon Ball The ranking will fall out of the top ten!

Then do you understand how disappointing the current plot of Dragon Ball is to readers? How many readers have sent letters of dissatisfaction and a lot of razor blades to me in recent days? Do you think this is a joke?

Do you think Longzhu’s current results are very good, so it’s okay? Then you don’t know that the editorial department is now planning to give up this comic and give up on you, the famous teacher of God!

You guy, don’t underestimate the serialization! Do you understand how much blood, sweat, youth, and effort many cartoonists have put in to compete for the right to be serialized? Don’t treat serializing it to me like it’s child’s play! From the moment Dragon Ball was serialized in comic magazines, it was no longer your work alone. Do you know how many people are waiting for Dragon Ball every week? Don't let me read comics in such a small way. Even if you don't have talent, just keep at it, you bastard! ! ! "

As she spoke, two lines of tears slowly flowed down Ayano Iida's face. She had seen many heartbreaking scenes over the years as a comic editor. She had just started to join a comic magazine as an editor. At that time, I took charge of a cartoonist who was also a newcomer.

After working so hard together and participating in countless competitions, they finally got the opportunity to be serialized. However, it was not until the serialization that they discovered how cruel this industry is.

For those who have no talent but love comics, the harder they work, the more cruel it becomes, and the effort and reward are simply not proportional. People without talent are losers from the beginning, and no matter how hard they work, they will not gain anything, so Everyone chose to give up halfway.

Ayano Iida still remembers the desperate look in the eyes of the new cartoonist she was responsible for. It was a gray style, simple and hard to look at. Now the new cartoonist has changed his job to become a professional cartoon assistant. .

Iida Ayano knew that the reason why the other person was still working as a comics assistant was because he had not really given up his passion for comics in his heart, but there was only a wisp of flame left that could be destroyed at any time in the storm.

Isn't it ridiculous that even though you have already decided to give up, you are still lingering on pursuing that illusory hope?

Wang Hao never thought that he would see such a special side of Iida Ayano. He spoke this monologue in a 'self-exposure' way. He was silent and didn't know how to deal with the scene in front of him, because this was in his life. Situation encountered for the first time.

The most authentic passage revealed the cruelty and darkness of the industry. Wang Hao admitted that he had never thought of so much before. He was just thinking about what to do, but he never thought about how solemn the air in this land was. I have never looked up at the black sky.

Is it day or night here? Will the dawn before dawn still come?

"sorry."

Wang Hao withdrew his gaze from the window, looked at the crying Iida Ayano and said softly, took out a handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped the other person's tears, "There are so many things in this world that I don't know. , but as a cartoonist, I only know how to believe in the trivial dream in my heart, and let it come true bit by bit with the pen in my hand.

I may seem too arrogant when I say this, because I believe that hard work is applicable everywhere. As long as there is enthusiasm in your heart, you can still see the real sun even in the black sky, and even if a moth flies into the flame, you can still see it. how? "

Ayano Iida took the handkerchief and slapped Wang Hao's hand away. She glared at him with a red face, turned her head and wiped her tears, but when she turned around, her eye frames were still slightly red. "You are really a strange person..."

"Hao, why is Ayano crying?"

Shiina Mashiro tugged on Wang Hao's clothes and asked. She didn't know why she felt blocked in her heart now. She wanted to know the reason why Iida Ayano was crying, and then turned her eyes to the other party, "Ayano doesn't cry, Haozang is there." The baumkuchen in the refrigerator compartment is very, very delicious. Rita said that eating delicious food will make you happy. Next time Ayano comes, I will give all the baumkuchen to Ayano, so please become Be happy."

"Because I was unwilling to give in, I was very, very unwilling to give in, so I wanted to cry. But it's okay now, because Ma Shitan promised to give me delicious Baumkuchen next time."

Iida Ayano trembled in her heart. She saw Mashiro burst into tears and smiled brightly. She stretched out her hand and gently stroked Mashiro's silky long hair, as if she was touching a pure elf who came out of nature. .
