I am a master of light novels in Japan

...

On the other hand, in a beautiful European-style apartment, the girl who had been asleep for a while woke up with a flushed face.

A faint wind blew this quiet room. The girl’s room didn’t look like a girl. There were a lot of drawings, stationery, posters, and printers, just like a cartoonist’s studio, but this way. The decorations made her feel at ease when she just woke up.

She opened her eyes. At this moment, it seemed that someone had already visited her and put a towel on her forehead. The feeling seemed to be that her mother had returned to take care of her.

However, after lying in bed for too long, Ying Riri felt more relaxed, she got up, her tired eyes saw not far away, there was a drawing board that she had not touched for about three or four hours.

I like painting, as if painting is a part of my body, as if any anti-fever medicine, she picked up the drawing board to quickly capture the creativity in her dream.

The corners of Ying Lili's mouth rose slightly. She reached out her hand and picked up the drawing board. In the quiet room, she began to rustle and draw the new Hengning Ning scene that she thought was the latest volume. The character girl in the novel, deserted and elegant, like a white begonia facing the cold wind, surrounded by loneliness and oriental beauty...

"Hehe, you're done."

Ying Lili drew the sketch for about ten minutes, then said with a bright smile.

...

After Li Yan took over Shiina Masaki's manga-style illustrations, he watched them carefully and quietly for a full minute.

One minute, for a certain young girl, seems to be very long. She seems to have met a very demanding teacher. The more attentively reviewing her paintings, the more tension in her heart.

"Sorry, it's pretty much what I thought, Miss Shiina, you are a world-class genius, but world-class geniuses also have things that they are not good at. The style and positioning of oil paintings and comics are too far apart, and your paintings do not fit me. The requirements of the novel...not even the standard of an illustrator at a general level, so I will not accept you as an illustrator for my work for the time being."

Li Yan put down the picture album for a while, looked calmly at Shiina really white, who was a little surprised, and unceremoniously denied her paintings, and said.

Chapter 119 Light Novel Master and Sakura Village

Spring is the season of rain and fog.

Under the gray sky, the gray sky, the streets of Tokyo are sparsely populated at the moment, and the ticking shower curtain hits the stone slabs of the street, everything seems so peaceful.

Li Yan spoke his own judgment without reservation, and looked at this world-class painter girl with a slightly surprised expression in his eyes.

"...Excuse me, why?"

Shiina Masashi gradually calmed down his state of mind. Although he was a little surprised, he was not surprised. He looked at Li Yan curiously and asked.

In the end, between the company's interests and his own truth, Li Yan made a choice that could not be turned back.

"Because Ms. Shiina may have just practiced manga, this is not your mistake. All art works need time to accumulate and temper, and so does the work of an illustrator."

Li Yan returned the album to Shiina Zhenbai and began to explain his judgment.

"It seems that many people think that the work of illustration is as simple as a sub-mirror of comics, but I have met several illustrators, including my current partner, who have said that comics and illustrations have different positioning. The issue of aesthetics is even more necessary. It is to be able to design an emotional illustration for that novel, to be able to feel the mood of the character, the mood of the author, and the mood of the reader. The mood of the three can be accommodated in that one. It’s a black-and-white illustration, so the emotional aspect is very important when drawing."

When Li Yan elaborated on his analysis, Zhenbai started to hold her painting and follow her message.

"Although Japanese illustrations and Western European oil paintings are both paintings, there is still a difference in artistic conception. The characters you drew, Ms. Shiina, were redrawn based on the personal settings of my partner, but the character is a bit single, and you haven’t seen it before. The story is integrated into her every move, that is, there is a very exquisite painting, but it is off the topic. The characteristics of the characters in this story and the expression of the story are not reflected. The emotions of the characters are violently shaken and erupted. Those are almost illustrations. soul."

Li Yanji seriously analyzed the connotation of her work, hesitated, and finally said: "I'm finished, but I admit that I am a scumbag. If there is any offense, please forgive me."

"..."

Shiina Mashiro quietly listened to the viewer's comments, was silent for a moment, shook his head slightly, and asked calmly: "I will remember your words, then, do I have a chance to become your illustrator?"

Li Yan was amazed by Shiina's reaction. I have to say that he is ready to answer any other questions raised by the other party and even start a controversial dialogue. After all, the paintings she drew are very good, beautiful and beautiful. Solid work, although it does not meet the requirements of illustration, but most people will praise it.All talented people are arrogant and unruly. Li Yan himself has had the experience of arguing with readers several times, but Shiina is really white, this world-class talented painter, but his mood is as clear and calm as still water.

"This is naturally no problem. If your illustration skills can surpass my partner, my partner and I will agree with you as a new illustrator. After all, I also understand that she has her own pride in painting. At that time, I will judge your painting again, Miss Shiina."

Li Yan replied that he can only represent Ying Lili with his own judgment and let go of his promise. He is not qualified to deny the other party's efforts and pursuit of artistic interests with personal friendship.

"Yeah, thank you." Shiina Masashi nodded slightly and said thanks.

In this case, in general, everything is clear. Li Yan always felt that using the company’s interests to tie up this painter and let the company borrow her reputation to achieve more profit is a bit too much. The other party’s choice in the art path, he I can't interfere, but I still hope that everyone who creates can have more freedom.

Li Yan wanted to inquire about Shiina Zhenshi very much. In the end, after the conversation seemed to have had a result, he still asked, "Although it is a bit presumptuous, I also want to consult you about my novel. According to my opinion, although my book has indeed been liked by many readers and sold well, no matter whether it is sales, evaluation, or sales after animation, it is not the most prosperous novel at present, why are you so Miss Shiina? Passionate about illustrating my new book?"

For a while, Li Yan seemed to be unable to understand the thoughts of the young girl from Shiina Zhenbai. After all, he saw Shiina Zhenbai’s oil paintings. Although he didn’t know much about the artistic conception of oil paintings, none of the paintings he saw had a kind of Unspeakable beauty, if these artistic accomplishments have really reached the point where they can be appreciated by the British Prime Minister and Queen, he is not sure which part of his novels a painter with such an aesthetic thinking will appreciate.

Shiina was silent for a while, but with a puzzled face, he said, "Your book, I have read it, it is very interesting."

"Is it just interesting?" Li Yan asked in a daze.

"Well, these are enough." Shiina nodded and said, "The only light novel I like is the book you wrote, Mr. Uesugi. It's telling a story, and the characters in it are all real. Existence is ordinary, contradictory, troubled, weak, and stance... I like stories like this, full of emotion, like seeing a ray of sunshine in the deep ocean."

The last sentence was a little bit esoteric, and Li Yan didn't understand it, but it seemed that when it came to Li Yan's book, it was the longest passage in truth.

However, Li Yan still understands that Shiina Masashi seems to have a persistent sense of pursuit for concepts such as "fun". After all, things like art are not a cultural category that most people can understand, but fun is A concept that most people can understand.

"..."

Those girls' eyes, like mirrors, seemed to hide an isolated heart, quietly thinking about the gap between her painting... and the author who created her favorite books.

...

In the end, Sanhe Bunko successfully signed for this young girl who returned from the UK. Although there are still some shortcomings in the expression of manga, with time, he should be able to quickly grasp some key tips of Japanese manga.Because the condition is to cooperate with Uesugiyan, Shiina Masashiro's editor is still in charge of Kagurazaka Ayame.

After the opening ceremony and the reception work of Sanwa Bunko, Kagurazaka Ayame immediately held a welcome party to welcome the new member of this small team and drove her seven-seater Honda commercial vehicle. Picking people up in batches to the izakaya may be exactly the enthusiastic attitude of Kagurazaka Ayame. It seems that the writers who were fighting for each other also got to know each other because of this, and each had a certain sense of teamwork. Instead of writing novels by yourself.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the wine shop began to lively.

In the afternoon, in the drizzle season, the rumbling trams shone brightly, flashing the grayish sky several times.

"Everyone, welcome everyone to participate in this welcome party in your busy schedule. I remember that our team is the first time to hold such a welcome party. In the future, it will be held every time you join. Anyway, such expenses are reimbursed by the company. It would be nice if you all get together."

Kagurazaka Ayame smiled, still in the side room of the bar, clapped his hands and interrupted the conversation of the writers, and announced his plans to everyone who was seated.

"Miss Kagurazaka, is there really no problem with spending public funds like this?" Kusanaru Ryuki asked.

"As for Bunko, I probably hope that Ms. Kagurazaka will unite the signed writers. There should be no problem." Izumi Masamune said with a smile.

"That said, but why didn't you see Miss Kashiwagi here?"

Kusanaru Longhui looked around and asked.

Li Yan replied: "She has a fever, so she can't come. I will invite her to a party next time."

Kagurazaka Aryu covered his forehead, and said with disappointment: "It is true. I am really distressed. I originally wanted to introduce Kashiwagi and Ms. Shiina. The meeting of two blonde mixed-race artists must be very interesting, but unfortunately. Kashiwamu had a fever since yesterday. Anyway, let her rest well, and there are still many opportunities."

In this case, everyone looked at this newly added illustrator with a hint of curiosity, the beautiful blonde girl named Shiina Maki. I heard that she was back from the UK, and I specifically hoped to serve as an illustrator for Li Yan’s new works. The teacher is a genius girl who is very famous in the British painter circle. The value of oil painting is so high that you can buy Li Yan and his two works in one go.

The woman with long golden hair and exquisite facial features perfectly integrated the beauty of the East and the West into her body, so quiet, pure and Ruili like white beauty.

"Hello, my name is Shiina Masaki, please give me your advice."

Shiina Mashiro bowed slightly in accordance with the polite way of Kagurazaka Ayame, and said.
