Chapter 10 Precious Things Grow Slowly

At this time, the sun was shining brightly on the streets of Shinjuku. It was noon that the office girls hid in the cafe, and the students listened to the teacher's boring teaching. There are not many pedestrians on the street, and it is a harmonious scene. There is a man standing under the giant TV on the street. She wears a big sightseeing hat and sunglasses that cover half of her face under her hat. Staring at the TV motionless. There is a piece of news on TV.

"Hope, everyone. I'm Mako, who plays the latest "Comic News" for you here every day. Recently, Miss Xu Jia, who has become popular in China with a "Sea Languageer", has now accepted the invitation of "Jiying Society" to come to Tokyo. Let's look forward to her bringing us more wonderful comics..."

The woman smiled at the corners of her mouth and went straight away.

In August, the "Japanese Comics Competition" for the purpose of 'Tokyo Animation Exhibition' [Tokyeanimtionfair, commonly known as TAF] will begin. 'Tokyo Animation Exhibition' is the most influential animation exhibition in the world. It is sponsored by the Tokyo Government and the Animation Exhibition Organizing Committee, Asahi News Agency, The Animation Association, co-organized by the Japan Digital Industry Association, is an international animation exhibition to further enhance the international influence of the Japanese animation industry and encourage and develop the animation industry.

This world's largest animation event for the purpose of international animation exchange and import business negotiations began in March 2002. As of this year, it has been held 11 times in March every year. Hundreds of enterprises of the world's top animation industry and its peripheral product companies gathered in Tokyo to compete in the world's animation and game market. At the same time, it also attracts animation enthusiasts from all over the world.

The animation exhibition has a total of four days. The first two days are open to industry enterprises for business negotiations and talent recruitment, and the next two days are open to the public to participate in animation exchanges and experience animation culture.

Xu Jia put down the information in her hand and smiled faintly, with a trace of coldness. She looked at the man opposite and smiled faintly. The atmosphere is inexplicably frozen. The man coughed softly and broke the stiff atmosphere.

"I think Miss Xu Jia also knows that our 'Jiying Society' is a large enterprise with its unique and reasonable operation mode. We have no doubt about Miss Xu Jia's ability. We are all clear about Miss Xu Jia's achievements in China. Because of this, we hope that Miss Xu Jia can participate in the 'Comic Competition' and achieve good results in the Comic Competition, and you can directly participate in your work in the 'Tokyo Animation Exhibition'. At that time, Miss Xu Jia has After gaining popularity, isn't it hot to debut in the company? The man also felt guilty about his words, but he couldn't help calling him like this.

"So, why should I join the 'Jiying Society'? Can you treat it like this if you have signed the contract? According to your words, I had gained popularity in Japan at that time. What kind of magazine is not up to me? Xu Jia had a contemptuous smile on her face, but she was shocked and angry. Originally, she had developed well in China, but now she came to Japan with an unpatriotic ** word and was treated like this. Suddenly, she felt like she had been fooled.

"Miss Xu Jia's words are serious. In fact, this is just a debut plan tailored for Miss Xu Jia. As long as Miss Xu Jia does her own thing well, all other companies will arrange it. Please believe that this is the best debut plan for you based on your ability. Although Miss Xu Jia has made great achievements in China, this is Japan. Japanese people are still very unfamiliar with your comics, so I specially arranged this for you. The president also said that Miss Xu Jia is special, so please understand the good intentions of our company. The man's attitude was respectful and his tone was sincere, which made Xu Jia's inner anger calm down a lot.

"In that case, please pay more attention." The other party's explanation is reasonable. The most important thing is that the contract has been signed, which is an established fact and cannot be regretted. Even so, you can't let it go easily. Otherwise, let them think that Xu Jia is easy to bully, and then they just need to complete another thing. Xu Jia smiled.

"You are really beautiful and understanding. Are all Chinese girls like you?" The man solved a troublesome matter and flattered him.

It's rare to get used to staying in a capsule hotel and then stay in a room, which makes Su Qi get up earlier every day and sleep very well.

That day, she knocked gently on the door, but at six or seven o'clock, the air was fresh and cool in the morning, and Su Qi took a deep breath. After a while, the sound of Mr. Tezuka's familiar clls sounded. Mr. Tezuka got up very early. Usually at this time, Mr. Tezuka drew a bunch of original manuscripts. Of course, it can't be used. Su Qi needs to discuss with Mr. Tezuka to decide what needs to be used. Mr. Tezuka is the most diligent and regular cartoonist he has ever seen. He is also a respectable person who spends a lot of time on comics.

However, today, Mr. Tezuka is different. He does not wear home clothes as usual, but wears formal clothes, and the low table is full of food. Usually, two people are hungry and order takeout. Today's atmosphere reveals a serious and formal atmosphere. Su Qi was a little confused. It was not until he sat at the table that Mr. Tezuka slowly opened his mouth.

"Su Qi, how long have you been here?" Mr. Tezuka asked with a smile.

"For more than two months." Su Qi didn't know why he answered honestly.

"Yes, for more than two months, Su Qi, I'm usually very strict with you, because I have great expectations for you. Now, I hope you can answer my question seriously, or it doesn't matter if you think about it for a day. Although Tezuka said calmly, he was actually a little nervous. He has been unilaterally demanding that if she is regarded as a disciple, if she is not conveyed well, there may be a misunderstanding in the future.

"Please make it clear to Mr. Tezuka."

"I have always lived alone and dedicated everything to the cause I love. Now, I am old, maybe one day no one will remember me as an old man. Therefore, before I die, I also want to find someone to give you my life experience, so that they can have a good home, otherwise it would be a little waste to follow me, an old man into the coffin. Su Qi, would you like to be a disciple of my old man? Finally, I have to make it clear.

Ah? Su Qi now feels like being hit in the head by a gold coin falling from the sky, and he is so happy that he is dizzy. Mr. Tezuka is a person that Su Qi admires very much. Now, such a big man wants to take himself as an apprentice?

"Okay, I'd love to." Su Qi agreed without hesitation and joked. What if he repented after time? Where can I find such a good master?

Now it's Tezuka's turn to be stunned. It's so simple to agree. Don't think about one, two, three? Don't even ask why? However, in this way, he easily picked up a good disciple. He can already imagine that Su Qi will shine in the comic world in the future, and his teacher will also be exposed.

"Very good, but I hope you can make an agreement with me." Tezuka thought that the girl needed a little serious encouragement.

"Teacher, please speak." As soon as he recognized the teacher's name, he immediately changed it. In addition to Tezuka, he had to admit that the apprentice was very good.

"You need to study comics now, so I hope you don't do anything superfluous until your painting style is mature." This is what Tezuka is most worried about. A person's dream is sometimes the belief that people live, but it is easy to have many things that disturb the direction on the road of life, such as money, such as fame, and the simpler appearance of a loving person, which is likely to overturn all the original plans. For Tezuka, that's the last thing he wants to happen.

"What does superfluous thing mean?" Today's Mr. Tezuka is really difficult to understand. Su Qixiang

"For example, in love and so on, you still have few managers now, and you are easily confused by many things. In short, painting at ease is my greatest expectation for you." Tezuka took out the cartoon drawn with Su Qi some time ago.

"Well, I know." Su Qi was a little happy and a little shy, as if he was talking about such a problem with his father, just like a strict father teaching his daughter at school not to fall in love early. Ah, I have never had such a feeling, and I even thought it would not happen again. But soon, Su Qi was attracted by the cartoon in Mr. Tezuka's hand.

is a comic some time ago. I didn't expect to see the publication so soon. Tezuka looked at Su Qi looking forward to it and handed it over with a smile.

"Look at the author's column."

"Oh, my God, how can I have my name? Teacher, did they make a mistake? Su Qi exclaimed.

"It's not that they made a mistake. I asked for it. If it weren't for you, this comic might have been completed in half a year. Moreover, you not only did a good job as an assistant, but also gave me a lot of interesting suggestions, and a considerable part of it was painted by you. This comic author should have your name in the column. It's us who finished it together. Tezuka seriously explained that there was any bad idea about this girl.

Su Qi was very moved. Since he came to Japan, he had a sense of loneliness in a trance. Even if there is no language barrier, in general, everything is going well, but this is not her country, not her home, and there is no sense of belonging. Now, she really feels that it's good to come to Japan, and it's good to see Mr. Tezuka and learn comics from him.

"Well, thank you." Thank you. The happiness in my heart is filled with tears. Can you really do what you like all the time like? Won't you foul?

"Hey, girl, don't cry. It's also your comic. Hey..."

People who have been lonely, sad, and cry with their own sadness on their backs will better understand the precious things. When they are happy, how important these invisible and intangible things are to people. It is an important component of a person and an idea. Otherwise, the word 'man' is just a walking corpse composed of a shelf. Therefore, when you realize these things and are willing to work hard for them, don't hesitate to linger, but like a real person, even if you are in tears, you have to rush forward. Wait, the people who love you will be proud of you!
