Shueisha is in Chiyoda Ward and Kodansha is in Bunkyo Ward, and the two wards are connected, Bunkyo Ward in the north and Chiyoda Ward in the south, and the distance between the two is not far away.

After Meng Fan came out, Hetian Hongji was already waiting here, after all, it had been more than an hour before and after, and Hetian Hongji had already arrived where he was going and asked the driver to return here.

It's a bit troublesome to eat, and Hetian Hongji was still very happy when he saw Meng Fan's refusal, but this driver must have to be kept by Meng Fan.

After the driver sent Meng Fan to the door of Kodansha, he was happy to hear Meng Fan say that he didn't have to pick him up, but he was also curious.

After all, he is the driver of Toei Animation, and he can be regarded as a person in the anime circle, and he is more informed about the anime circle than some practitioners.

This Chinese person is a little interesting.,I just got a letter of recommendation from Oda Okami and entered Shueisha.,And I've been in it for more than an hour.,It's said that staying in it for so long must be something.,But why did you go to Kodansha after this came out.,What's the situation?,Is it a lot of money to cast a net all over the place.,Tut-tut.,How big a fish are you going to prepare to catch.,The heart is really big.。

The driver kept a thought, Meng Fan did not leave immediately after getting out of the car, and then saw a little old man trotting out of Kodansha.

"Goro Takahashi!"

The driver recognized at a glance this little old man who had been in the industry for many years and had a lot of fame.

Speaking of this Takahashi Goro, there is also a nickname in the industry - the king of leaks, who once picked up a lot of cartoonists who were almost boiled to death by the serialization bit from Shueisha and Shogakukan, and over the years, there are three or four cartoonists who have been "picked up", and there are dozens of small ones.

This Takahashi Goro's status in Kodansha is not low, equivalent to the existence of a mascot, for other publishing houses, Takahashi Goro is a big pointer, but whenever I hear that a manga artist who is in the recommended position is targeted by Takahashi Goro, he will immediately increase his attention and thus he will also get a lot of manga artists who are about to die ashore, but there are also a lot of interesting and beautiful talks.

As a result, Goro Takahashi has a good reputation in the circle of cartoonists, especially for some cartoonists who are recommended for positions, they can't wait to be targeted by this Goro Takahashi, and even for a while, there were cartoonists who paid money to "bribe" Goro Takahashi.

"Could it be that this Huaxia person is also targeted by Takahashi-san? It's just that this doesn't look like it, how do you feel that Takahashi-san has a lot of respect for this Chinese!"

The driver was curious, thought about it, and naturally called to inform Hetian Hongji of the matter, and Hetian Hongji was stunned when he heard it, and felt that things were a little interesting, but he didn't let the driver stare at it, so it was just a fun, it was impossible to tell Shueisha, but he was quite curious about where this Chinese person would go in the end.

"Meng Sang, please!"

Goro Takahashi happily led Meng Fan into Kodansha, and after shopping for a while, he saw that Meng Fan had something to say, so he quickly took Meng Fan to his office and gave him a cup of coffee.

"Thank you. ”

Meng Fan took a sip of coffee, and saw that the little old man was still standing on the side with half a bow, so he quickly asked him to sit down, and then took out his sketches, outlines, and library brochures from his bag, handed them to Goro Takahashi, and said, "Takahashi-san, I'm here to have something to do with this comic, please help me read it first." ”

"Good. ”

After Takahashi Goro took it, he looked at it seriously, and he quickly showed a surprised look like Muto Kentaro, the difference is that Muto Kentaro is hidden, and Takahashi Goro is released, and his mouth is not stingy and exclaimed: "Si Guoyi! Meng Sang, is this what you painted? The painting skills are really amazing, this is a super S-level painting skill! The painting style is also superb!"

After reading another page, Goro Takahashi's expression became extremely serious.

"Storyboard!"

"What a magical storyboard!"

For a cartoonist, drawing skills are of course very important, but there is never a shortage of cartoonists in this world who have excellent drawing skills but no one reads comics, in addition to the storyline, there is also a very important determining factor, that is, storyboard ability!

No matter how good the story is, no matter how good the drawing skills are, if there is no good storyboard ability, the quality of a comic will be greatly reduced.

What is storyboarding?

It's how to tell your story well and get the audience to watch it and keep it going!

Storyboard ability is too important, otherwise, no matter how good the drawing skills are, it is still an illustration, and no matter how good the story is, it is a bunch of dead things!

What Goro Takahashi sees in front of him is a super storyboard, concise, powerful, smooth and full of imagination, between each picture and the next picture, there is always a magical storyboard ability that makes Takahashi Gorou form an animation-like picture sense in his mind, this power of advancement and pushing is too ingenious and magical!

What surprised Goro Takahashi the most was that he didn't find any shadow of a well-known manga artist in the drawing skills, painting style and storyboard features of the manga in front of him.

Goro Takahashi also watched it for a long time, but not as long as Kentaro Muto, and after about forty minutes, he retracted his gaze from the comics, the outline, and the gallery to Meng Fan, and asked with burning eyes: "Meng Sang, where are you going to serialize this comic?"

Without waiting for Meng Fan to answer, he immediately said: "If Meng Sang trusts me and I will be the responsible editor of it, I promise that I will definitely make it serialized in "Weekly Youth Magazine"!"

"Weekly Shonen Magazine" is Kodansha's largest circulation manga magazine, and it is also one of Neon's three major shonen manga magazines, second only to "Weekly Shonen Jump" and higher than "Weekly Shonen Sunday".

Goro Takahashi directly gave such a condition, in addition to seeing the quality and potential of this manga, another important reason is naturally to repay the favor.

Although the circulation of "Weekly Shonen M" is not as good as that of "Weekly Shonen J", and the serial slot is not as tight and scarce as "Weekly Shonen J", it is still very scarce, and there are still many cartoonists waiting for the serialization bit!

The comic "Strange Man of the Mountains and Seas", Kentaro Muto also thinks that he can be a teenager in the weekly magazine, but it is only recognized, not that it must be on and will be on it, even if it can be on, it will have to wait for the serial position, even if there is a recommendation from Oda-san, it only allows Muto to meet Meng Fan in advance and negotiate conditions with him.

Of course, if Oda hadn't given a letter of recommendation but had taken Meng Fan with him personally, the result would have been different.

And when it came to Goro Takahashi, Meng Fan was treated differently at all.

Takahashi is grateful to Meng Fan for saving his life, admires his quality, and is impressed by his charm, plus the high quality of this comic, he is naturally willing and willing to fight for Meng Fan, and even sacrifices his own interests, mobilizes his own people and other resources to help Meng Fan hard!

As for factors such as Meng Fan being a Chinese, they were not in his consideration at all.

When Meng Fan heard this, he smiled gratefully at Goro Takahashi, and then said his request directly: "Takahashi-san, please listen to me finish the following words, and then you can make a decision." ”

"I'm not going to hide it.,I'm here to neon because of this manga.,I originally went to Shueisha.,And I got a letter of recommendation from Oda-san.。 It's just that Shueisha's side didn't approve of my request. For your company, my requirements are the same, I want to sign a cooperation contract, and authorize all the copyrights of the comic in Neon to your company, including comic serialization, network serialization, single book distribution, peripheral product development, etc. ”

"As for the copyright of the animation, I am also happy to hand it over to your company to operate, although this is a long time later, but I still have to state in advance that the animation production hopes to have the participation of the Huaxia team......

"Cooperation?"

Hearing this, Goro Takahashi frowned, and then smiled bitterly: "Meng Sang, you make me very embarrassed like this! If it is an exclusive contract, I can get the best treatment for you under other conditions." If it's not an exclusive contract, even if I try my best, I won't be able to help you get on the "Weekly Shonen Magazine!"

When Meng Fan heard this, he also knew that Takahashi Goro was telling the truth, so he sighed, and sure enough, he was too ideal, and then asked: "If it's not a weekly boy, what about other magazines?"

"It's a pity for other magazines! Meng Sang ...... Hey, forget it, I also know that if you're willing to agree to an exclusive contract, you'll definitely sign it at Shueisha. Goro Takahashi said, "In the case of other manga, there are also manga that have been contracted together, so it won't be too much of a problem." Meng Sang, do you have any other requirements, if so, tell me first, I will bring your works and requirements to talk to the above first. If you think it's appropriate, I'll take you to a closer look. What do you think?"

Meng Fan nodded, and said the requirements he had thought of one by one, Takahashi Goro listened and memorized, and looked up from time to time to ask a few questions.

After Meng Fan finished speaking, Takahashi Goro looked at the requirements he had recorded, and sighed in his heart, if this was replaced by someone else, he would have flipped the table a long time ago.

Even if the comic works are very good, Neon is a society that pays attention to the hierarchy and has many rules.

"Meng Sang, please wait a moment. ”

Goro Takahashi went out and dared to go out with these requirements, in addition to the good manga works and his own openness, there was also a very important condition.

Kodansha is one of the first of the three comics to enter the Chinese market and the first to cooperate with Huaxia, especially in recent years, after the growth of the Chinese comic market and the formalization of copyright, the cooperation has become more frequent, and in addition to building a platform with Huaxia Company, it has also established a branch in Huaxia.

This is Kodansha's first branch in a foreign country, and it is also the first wholly-owned company in China in the neon publishing industry.

Kodansha's exchanges and cooperation with the Chinese publishing industry, as well as copyright trade, have developed rapidly in recent years.

If there was no reason for this, Goro Takahashi would definitely persuade Meng Fan to revise several of these requirements before he went, now, let's talk about it.

Goro Takahashi is indeed willing and willing to help Meng Fan!
