Last night's confession was successful-

Mach was stunned for a long time before he said, "Congratulations." ”

"Can you keep flipping through the comics?" He pointed to "Weekly Shonen", and Mach wanted to know more about the subsequent development of "Dream Eater" than Tomato's personal affairs.

Mr. Tomato felt that Mach was a little strange and different from his impression. The current Mach gave him a sense of calm, and in the past, Mach would have quarreled with him.

"What's wrong with him? Isn't the situation right today? ”

With this doubt in mind, Tomato sat down again and opened the comic.

The plot of "Dream Eater" progresses to the point where Mashiro rejects Akito's invitation, and his reason is very good - it is too risky to be a manga artist, and it is a small group of geniuses who are really talented to be manga artists, and the rest are gamblers.

"A manga artist is a person who can live a lifetime by relying on comics, but even if he can launch a serialization in a manga weekly, he will be voted by readers every week, and if he is not popular, the serialization will be cut in half."

"If your work is a big hit, or if you have multiple works that sell well one after another, you can eat it for a lifetime, and you are a cartoonist. If you can't sell so well, you're just a gambler, and if you don't find another job, you might even starve to death. ”

Seeing the lines that Maki said, Tomato and Mach were shocked.

"That's what cartoonists mean." Mach opened his mouth to praise: "We usually define cartoonists simply as people who draw comics, but it makes more sense for teachers, most of the people who draw comics are gamblers." With this awareness, it is a pity that the teacher must be full of fighting spirit in ordinary times, and it is no wonder that he has been able to come so far. ”

The content of the comics is written by cartoonists. Therefore. The lines of "Dream Eater" are also regarded by Mach as a pity.

In any corner of China now. Absolutely no one has such a clear idea that a cartoonist is a person who can live a lifetime from comics - this sentence will change many people's minds.

"It's a pity that the teacher is right, it turns out that I am just a gambler." Mr. Tomato smiled wryly, he had always felt that he was a person with no talent, and he still thinks so. Huaxia comics are developing rapidly, and he is just relying on experience to support him, and maybe it won't be long before young cartoonists can replace him.

Tomatoes do not have the confidence to sell well for a long time. His last submission on the theme of "Gundam" was also not approved.

"I'm also a gambler."

mach interface channel.

"How can you be a gambler?" Tomato retorted that Mach's painting skills are superb, he has always been a talented person, and he has earned an unknown amount of money, which is enough to support him for a lifetime.

"By the way, where's your car?" Tomato suddenly felt strange, it's not dawn yet, why did Mach come here alone, doesn't he usually have a special car to pick him up?

"Cars? It's long gone...... Mach shook his head and said, "It was assigned to me by the company, and now it's been taken back." ”

When he was an idol cartoonist. The Dragon Company even gave him an exclusive agent, but since doing stupid things. The mach's reputation is shattered, and the treatment plummets.

Mach wanted to change the subject: "By the way, what are you using now?" ”

"Tomato ......" Tomato Sensei's pen name is very long, but other cartoonists don't have the word tomato. Mach had recently watched "Weekly Shonen", and his eyes widened as he thought about the pseudonym.

"You're working as an assistant for Detective Conan?"

"Yes, I'm now in charge of "Detective Conan", why don't I regret that the teacher believes in me and gives me a lot of work." Tomato was a little embarrassed and said: "My old serial is not angry, and it has been cut in half." ”

However, there is not much loss on his face, "Detective Conan" is a manga that can be serialized indefinitely, enough for him, a gambler, to eat for a lifetime.

This made Mach very envious, and the tomato was already higher than him.

"Congratulations so much, your career and love have belonged." Mach asked, "When will you get married?" ”

"In two months." Speaking of getting married, Tomato's expression was excited: "I don't want to wait, I want to arrange the house near Mr. He's house, the company agreed to help, and I can get married in the new house in May!" ”

"I'll send you an invitation then......

After saying a few words, Tomato was a little impressed with Mach. And he found that he no longer had that hatred for Mach, maybe because Mach was different from before, or maybe he was about to start a family and his heart had become broader.

At this time, Tomato was even a little grateful to Mach, if it weren't for him, Tomato wouldn't have fallen to Phoenix, and he wouldn't have met He Xi, if it wasn't for He Xi, he wouldn't have had contact with Teacher Hua Meng.

"I don't need an invitation, I'm leaving Ninghai soon." However, Mach did not accept Tomato's invitation: "After Sherlock's end, I will go back to my hometown. ”

"What are you doing back to your hometown!" Tomato was a little surprised: "You're not a cartoonist anymore?" ”

"It's not right." Mach nodded, he had a hard time getting along in the comics world.

"What's wrong with it, Zhongxia Company doesn't want you?" Mr. Tomato bluntly asked, although Mach was arrogant, he had struggled in the comic industry for ten years, how could he give up so easily.

If MAHC wasn't interested in comics, he wouldn't have come out early in the morning to buy Weekly Shonen.

"This is what I asked for, who let me frame the teacher in the first place." Mach's eyes were a little dim: "The editor-in-chief said that I could leave after writing "Sherlock." ”

“……”

Tomato looked at Mach very curiously, this person is now self-reflective, it seems that he has really changed a lot. He thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Then how about you come to Phoenix Company?" ”

Recently, Phoenix's business has expanded rapidly, whether it is animation, comics or games, there is a lack of powerful artists, and Tomato often sees the problem of Meng Huo's troubled candidates, and he thinks that Mach can be wooed.

"Phoenix Company?" Mach was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Don't be kidding, how can the teacher let me in......"

"Why can't it be?" Tomato smiled: "I think it's a pity that the teacher is very broad-minded, your strength is there, he will definitely accept you." ”

Now Mach's performance is not as childish as before, he is much more mature, Tomato can forgive him, and Meng Shu will definitely be open-minded.

"It's a pity that the teacher is a very good person, he takes good care of other cartoonists, there must be nothing wrong with you coming to our company."

Tomato's enthusiasm touched Mach's heart, but more than that, he was surprised and puzzled.

"Why do you want to help me? Don't you hate me very much? It was because of me that you left Longteng, right? ”

"That's right...... It's just ......" Tomato thought for a moment, then smiled: "I used to think that cartoonists were lonely jobs, but after coming into contact with Teacher He Xi, I found that it is better to have peers who work together." ”

"I hope you will join us in the fight for the same dream."

Tomato shook the "Weekly Boy" in his hand and said, "Actually, I feel that this new comic by the teacher may be a comic that calls for companions." ”

"Companion?"

Mach muttered under his breath, as if a ray of sunshine had fallen in his heart.

In the early hours of the morning, after the rain stopped, it dawned. (To be continued......)
