Mid-September. Mobile

There are many industry associations in Japan, especially in the publishing industry.

Kinokuniya Shoten, the largest bookstore chain in Japan, held a cocktail party and invited many celebrities from the publishing industry to attend.

Among them, of course, there are many editors, as well as well-known writers.

The editor-in-chief of Shueisha, Ibaraki, naturally can't help but come, but he has never liked this kind of occasion very much, except for a few acquaintances.

"Editor-in-chief Ibaraki, don't come unharmed. ”

"Editor-in-Chief Tanaka, hello wow. ”

When he met Tanaka, Ibaraki was a little happy, although the two fought last time, Tanaka was defeated by himself, but Ibaraki felt that it was because Shueisha was wealthy, after all, it was much more powerful than Kadokawa.

However, Tanaka didn't look like a loser, and when he met the editor-in-chief of Ibaraki, he was still talking and laughing.

"Last time, I was really taken care of by the editor-in-chief of Ibaraki. ”

"That's very polite, it's just 150 million yen, it's nothing, and at the moment, it's worth the money. ”

"Editor-in-chief Ibaraki is still so good at talking. ”

"Of course. ”

"However, we Kadokawa will also cheer up, and there is a "Future Without a Future" that will be broadcast next month. ”

"Oh, then, Bunkoben is going to make a lot of money. ”

"It's still relatively low, not as good as your company's, but 150 million yen is not a problem. ”

The two of them said something very interesting, and ordinary people couldn't understand it at all, but they fought happily.

Everyone knows in their hearts that Mr. Onigo's work is definitely the hottest nowadays, and no matter who it is, they have to work hard to compete for it.

It's just that, as for the animation, Ibaraki can't help but be very proud.

"The animation of "Rebellion" is quite good, and I have to praise Mr. Onigo's vision, and it is too wise to choose the Bone Society. ”

"Well, that club has some origins. ”

The previous "D,N" cooperated with the Bone Society and achieved good success, and this time "Rebellion" naturally continued to cooperate with the Bone Society.

Judging from the current broadcast situation, it is completely a win-win.

The ratings ranked first in April, and the Bone Club also won quite well in the disc market.

The popularity of comics is even higher, and there are even several issues of surveys to hit the top two positions.

Although, editor-in-chief Ibaraki remembers that Mr. Kigo once said that this manga should be the first place, but at the moment, it is indeed not easy to be the first place.

The performance of One Piece is too stable, and although "Rebellion" is exquisite, it is difficult to shake.

However, in terms of the sales of "JUMP", this manga really contributed a lot.

Value, great value, 150 million yen is nothing at all.

Ibaraki's pride was beyond words, and Tanaka could see it, but he wanted to say something, but at this time, someone came.

"But, editor-in-chief Ibaraki, editor-in-chief Tanaka?"

"Oh, you're ......"

"Kawaguchi Wang, I've admired the names of the two for a long time, but this time, someone wants to invite the two to talk. ”

"Oh?"

Both Ibaraki and Tanaka are very curious, what kind of conversation is this?

"Lead the way. ”

Kawaguchi's purpose is achieved, and he is smiling.

It didn't take long for the three of them to come to a small room.

Tanaka and Ibaraki weren't surprised, most of these drinks were like this, and it was perfectly possible to find some like-minded friends to talk to them privately.

As soon as the two entered, they had already seen several celebrities.

The executive director of Kinokuniya, named Koji Katase, can be regarded as the owner of this room, of course, he must give enough courtesy.

And in addition, he is a very tough figure in the political and literary worlds, Ishihara.

As soon as this person appeared, Ibaraki and Tanaka had a headache.

Fortunately, there is another person, Mr. Junichi Watanabe.

The rest is the editor-in-chief of Sano of the Literary Spring and Autumn Period, as well as a few peers who have had an eye.

"Hello Mr. Ishihara. ”

"You're welcome, please be seated. ”

Ibaraki and Tanaka both knew that something was going to happen.

But he also sat down as he said, and then, everyone had a brief chat.

It's all in the publishing industry, Katase opened a bookstore, and over there is the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House, and Ishihara and Watanabe are the bigwigs in today's literary world, and as for Shueisha and Kadokawa, they are all heroes of one side.

It's so powerful in this room, but in general, it's all literati.

What do literati talk about?

Naturally, it is a snowstorm.

However, there are also some considerations, for example, a place like Yoshihara can't be talked about, without him, the level of this kind of place is too low, how can you say it at will?

Ginza is no problem, what did you experience when you drank flower wine, tell it, it's just a one.

But after all, it's rare to get together, and of course we have to talk about something more important.

Kawaguchi has lost his reputation since the last time he had a debate with Mr. Kigo, but fortunately, he is still mixed up, but he is very unwilling, so this time he is quite active, you know, all kinds of reference books, supplementary books, that also need to be published, so, it makes sense that he appears here.

At this time, he smiled and said, "I heard that the book "Rebellion" by Mr. Kigo will be published at the same time as the manga and anime are finished, isn't that the case?"

Editor-in-chief Ibaraki knew it as soon as he heard it, and he came, but he had to nod, "That's true, this was originally a plan, in fact, there are not many publications of similar library books, and the entire volume of the first volume of "Zero Rising" will be released, which was originally planned. ”

He tried his best to be thorough, not wanting to leave any chance for the other party.

Tanaka also understood that this Kawaguchi must be the mouthpiece of Ishihara and other bigwigs.

But I heard Kawaguchi continue: "However, this one is really not of enough level, that is, to fool the younger generation, it is difficult to enter the eyes of generosity, and now, Katase General Manager has decided that "Rebellion" will not be sold in Kinokuniya. ”

"What?" Ibaraki was shocked.

Of course, he immediately thought about who was behind this.

It must be this old guy Ishihara who put pressure on Katase and the others, so ......

The editor-in-chief of Tanaka naturally heard it clearly, and he just showed a contemptuous smile, "This, we Kadokawa will still sell it." ”

Of course, Ibaraki understood what to say, "Everyone, we at Shueisha have already cooperated with Mr. Kigo, and this is completely in the plan, but this attitude of Kii Kuniya is really difficult for us, so can't we ban Mr. Kigo?"

Ibaraki said this very restrained, and there was such a meaning in the subtext.

Although the largest bookstore chain doesn't sell it, there's no way to ban Mr. Kigo, and we, Shueisha, plus Kadokawa, are not small.

However, Kawaguchi then smiled and said, "Junjiutang has also stated that it will not sell this one of Mr. Kigo, for the same reason, the level of this one is insufficient. ”

Insufficient level?

How is this possible!

Ibaraki was about to erupt, but Ishihara suddenly spoke.

"Level or something, it's just a façade!"

Hey, old guy, that's pretty straightforward.

Ishihara continued: "It's this attitude of the ghost! I didn't deny writing to make money, but the current behavior of the ghost is clearly using the guise of the so-called new breakthrough and new attempt to grab money! He can deceive the younger generation, but an old guy like me will not be fooled!"

What a new model, what a new way to write.

Not to make more money?!

I must not let such a guy succeed, otherwise, the Japanese literary world will be finished!"

This old man is stubborn, but he is also a single, although he found a reason to cover it up, he also dismantled the cover himself.

It's the same way he acts.

Ibaraki was helpless for a while, "Mr. Ishihara, this new model was not actually set by Mr. Onigo alone, and we also participated, but it was a new attempt." ”

"Hmph!" Ishihara snorted coldly, and wanted to continue scolding, but someone spoke.

"Ishihara-sensei, I don't think this is appropriate!" is Junichi Watanabe.

In other words, the editor-in-chief Tanaka looked at Mr. Watanabe differently on this matter, and this one seems to have a conflict with Ishihara.

"Your opinion, it doesn't matter for the time being!" Ishihara is also ruthless enough.

can choke Watanabe Jun with a lot of anger.

Actually, they discussed it before, and now playing such a hand is to show their attitude and block the works of Mr. Ghost Go.

It's not a good idea at all.

Now, those who can be affected by the promotion of Ishihara, that is, literature, are indeed quite powerful existences, such as Kinokuniya and Junkudo, which are the top two chain bookstores.

And, of course, the literary spring and autumn.

However, despite this, it is not possible to completely block it.

Shueisha also has strength, isn't there still Kadokawa now?

It's a pity that Ishihara is too stubborn and extreme.

Even that's what he said.

"It doesn't matter how well this work sells later, we just do what we should do, we are protecting Japanese literature and art!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was no need to talk about it anymore, it was simply-for-tat.

Ibaraki and Tanaka looked at each other, both helpless.

Ishihara's approach is exactly what the Japanese do.

There's a very strange energy.

It is as if the economic cooperation between Japan and China was originally the first to start and had the most opportunities, but now it has fallen far behind. For example, the automobile company originally sold very well, but it didn't build many factories, and there were many, many other industries.

Obviously, everyone can make a lot of money by cooperating, but it's because of that because they don't make money.

In the eyes of Ibaraki and Tanaka, such a person is really stupid.

But there is no way now, such people are in the upper echelons of Japan, holding power.

So, this thing......

"I believe in the ghost go-sensei. That's what Tanaka said.

Ibaraki is weird, but come to think of it, this Tanaka used to be a collaborator of Kigo-sensei, so he should know Kigo-sensei better than himself.

"Please rest assured, and thank Editor-in-Chief Tanaka for your support. ”

After saying that, the two broke up.

And Ibaraki immediately picked up the phone.

"Moximoxi, is that Mr. Hisagi? I want to talk to Mr. Kigo on the phone. ”

"It's me! ”

"That's great. ”

Soon, Ibaraki got in touch with Mr. Onigo, and, told about this so-called blockade.

Higashino was under the mask of Kigo, and he almost didn't laugh when he heard it.

Sure enough, that's the shaft.

Ishihara is an old thief, he represents a class of people.

It's not that they're not smart, but they're good at doing things.

But this is the case......

Ibaraki's heart moved, "Kigo-sensei, where are you now?"

Kigo smiled, "Editor-in-chief Ibaraki, I'm in the Bone Club at this time. ”

"Oh?" Ibaraki was surprised when he heard this, "why is that?"

"I, haha, I'm here to oversee the work. You'll know when the anime airs. ”

This has been understood, Mr. Onigo wants to make some changes to this "Rise of Zero".

"There's going to be a new twist on the plot, right?" said Ibaraki, a little excited.

"There are some changes, please don't worry, it's not a major change, it's okay, right?" said Mr. Kigo with a smile.

Ibaraki knew that he might not be able to ask anything, but of course he said, "Of course there is no problem!"

There are still two weeks to go before the final episode of the first season of the anime version, and the first volume has not actually started to be printed, which is routine and can be better kept secret.

And then, I heard Mr. Onigo say:

"Editor-in-chief Ibaraki, remember Nietzsche's words?

What doesn't kill me will make me stronger!

Any ban on Mr. Ghost will make Mr. Ghost Go's more popular!"

When Ibaraki heard this, his heart trembled, but what he heard was the voice on the other end of the phone.

Voices from the Bone Society.

There is some confusion, but the sound of cheering each other on ...

PS: The first one will be sent, I will continue to refuel the black car, thank you for your support!
