Chapter 1128: Indecision

On the car back, Tachibana leaned on the seat, staring at the dark roof.

Maybe it's because he drank too much alcohol, his mind was a little confused, and his mood was a little depressed.

Cooperation is never something that can be negotiated at once, Tachibana knows it well. However, compared to other cartoonists in "Young Leap", Shen Zhengzhen is too unique.

He has his own editor in charge, and can negotiate conditions with the magazine editor. The key point is that the choices of "Shounen Leap" are also very limited.

Either cooperate with Shen Zheng or give up, but the key is, after giving up, can you find a better one?

"What do you think?" Toru Murakami, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly asked.

"I don't know. Team leader, if it were you, how would you choose?"

"Mr. Shen's words today are very obvious. Why do you think he brought up the issue of suspending the journal?"

"I don't know." Tachibana shook his head.

"It means that the current results of "" have reached his goal, and then he will ask for a suspension of the next comic."

"You mean, he might not devote himself to the next manga?" Tachibana asked rhetorically.

If this is the case, he really needs to think carefully about the quality of the next comic.

"It's possible." Murakami nodded, "However, even if he doesn't devote himself wholeheartedly, relying on the popularity of "" will bring enough attention, and sales should be guaranteed. Actually, I said Worry about something else."

"Um?"

"Because """ has already achieved his goal, then his choice of platform for the next book is great, and it doesn't necessarily have to be "Youth Leap."

"Huh?"

Tachibana instantly woke up.

After being reminded by Murakami, he discovered this.

Just as Tachibana said, if Shen Zheng is already satisfied with the results of "" ", then there is really no need for Shen Zheng's next manga to be serialized on "Shounen Leap".

money,

Shen Zheng is not lacking, what he wants is control over the work, and it is his attitude to reclaim the animation production rights of the next manga.

"Shounen Leap" can't afford such things as the right to decide the work, but other magazines may not be able to.

In particular, although "Shounen Leap" is the largest comic magazine in District 11, its parent company is not the largest publisher in District 11. Therefore, the conditions given by other platforms may not be poor.

"Now... what should I do?" Li Huashen rubbed his face, he felt irritable at first, but now it's even worse.

"Don't ask me. I'm not the editor-in-chief of "Young Leap." Toru Murakami opened his eyes, looked at Tachibana, but saw that his face was still sad, and sighed, "Take one or the other, and take Mr. Shen in "" The advantages and disadvantages of the serialization of "Shounen Leap" are written out, and you can choose whichever side you think has the advantage."

Li Huashen scratched his head and remained silent for a long time before he said to the driver in front, "Master, can I go to bnim?"

"Can."

"What do you want to do?" Murakami asked perplexed.

"Buy comics, I have to read all his comics before I can make a judgment, and "dn" is not published by us, so I have to buy a set of comics... Tsk, it's not easy to make a decision... Tachibana sighed.

"Where does this go... You'd better ask Mr. Shen about his bottom line. This way, it will be easier to make a choice. However, if you really want to sign, I still advise you to be as cautious as possible. "dn" is me Too careless, let it fly."

"Well. There is still a chance at the annual meeting... It's really not possible. After he handed in the original manuscript of "", I went to Hongchuan to find him. This time, there will be no more mistakes."

Tachibana knows how heavy the responsibilities are on his shoulders. Faced with the impact of web comics, if he is a little negligent, the magazine may fall into decline, and it will be difficult to stand up again. In recent years, more than one comic magazine has been closed. Are you sure "Shounen Leap" is in the future, isn't it one of them?

Therefore, every step in the future is very important.

...

The annual meeting is two days later in the evening, not far from Shen Xin's residence, only four or five minutes away by car.

During these two days, Shen Xin originally wanted to go for a stroll nearby, but Tamagawa Haruka led Xiao Nishi Shinichi to visit, which was considered a simple visit.

Shen Xin also took advantage of this opportunity to meet the author of "False Crime" for the first time in reality.

Since it was the first time for the two parties to meet each other, they were somewhat reluctant to let each other go, and the communication was not deep, but Shen Xin was very happy to meet other first-line cartoonists in District 11 except Yu Chuanyao.

As for Xi Muhan, she has been running around with Yan Fei in the past two days. At the same time, she selected a few sets of clothes for Shen Xin to attend the annual meeting, and took pictures of many buildings and streets in District 11, which once made Shen Xin think that Will she create comics based on District 11?

"Impossible! I have never lived in District 11, and I don't know their way of life. The works created in this way have no life, and the sense of substitution is not strong." Xi Muhan shook his head, "But it may be used as a line draft background... However, this kind of thing is also uncertain, and there is no idea for a new work yet."

When it came to the end, Xi Muhan held the notebook, feeling a little worried.

"Don't think so much, just draw what you are good at." Shen Xin didn't say it too directly, worried that it would affect Xi Muhan.

"I know, but I don't have any inspiration right now. I don't want to draw evil comics anymore. I can't surpass "dn"...Brother, what do you think of romantic comics?"

"Huh?" Shen Xin was at a loss when he heard Xi Muhan mention love comics, "How many times have you been in love, do you dare to draw love comics?"

"Once, what's the matter?" Xi Muhan straightened his back, "more than when you drew "y's". Besides, what type of comics are drawn, does it have anything to do with the creator's personal experience? It's like detective reasoning comics. Do you really want to be involved in every case?"

I don't know why, but when Xi Muhan mentioned the reasoning comics, the first thing Shen Xin thought of was "Conan".

If the author wants to participate in every case... Guess, Aoyama Okamasa will be exhausted, right?

After all, according to the level of Conan Wannian elementary school students, there are basically cases every day.

"There are also those time-travel comics... have all the cartoonists time-traveled?" Xi Muhan then asked a question that Shen Xin didn't know how to answer.

To wear... or not to wear?

If you answer "Those who have time-traveled", you will probably be treated as a fool by Xi Muhan, right?

Shen Xin rubbed her chin and decided not to answer.

Seeing that Shen Xin didn't answer, Xi Muhan looked smug, and regarded love comics as an alternative.

Of course, it's just an option.

Xi Muhan knows that the ceiling of this theme is not high, and the love element is not a necessary condition for a best-selling comic, so he put it at the end.

Shen Xin deeply agrees.

Not to mention that there is no love element, Shen Xin has even seen comics without female characters, such as Akira Miyashita's "Quiet! Men's School", however, because it is in the same era as "Fist of the North Dipper", the style of painting is also quite rough, it may be difficult for readers to accept after all, not everyone likes "jojo", and "jojo" is almost that The style of the times.

As for the more recent comics, like "The Prince of Tennis", there are fewer romantic elements.

Seeing that Xi Muhan knew it well, Shen Xin didn't say any more, fearing that it would affect her train of thought.

After resting for two days, the annual meeting finally arrived. Xi Muhan bought some more formal clothes and changed them for Shen Xin.

"Are you really not going?" Shen Xin asked back.

Xi Muhan shook his head, "I'm not the manga artist of "Young Leap", and the past was not very interesting, and I don't understand the language. If I say something inappropriate, it will also affect your image."

"Compared to you, what is your image?" Shen Xin laughed.

"I don't want it anymore. It's not good if there are too many people going, it's quite embarrassing." This sentence is what Xi Muhan said in his heart.

Other cartoonists lead two or three assistants at a time, but Shen Xin leads 11 people at a time. It is easy to become the focus of the scene, and she is not used to it.

However, Xi Muhan, Yan Fei, and Wang Wenhong made an agreement in advance to let Wang Wenhong and Qian Jinghui accompany Shen Xin to the annual meeting. She, Yan Fei, and other assistants took the map, looked for tourist attractions, and arranged for the next trip. A few days of travel planning.

So, Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong changed their clothes, waited for the special car for "Youth Leap" to stop outside the hotel, and then got into the car for the annual meeting of "Youth Leap".
