"Knock-"
There was a knock on the door, interrupting what Ayano Iida was about to say, and everyone usually knows that she has a habit of not being interrupted when reviewing her work.
Knocking on the door at this time, there must be something important, Iida Ayano said to the door, "Please come in." β
"Iida-senpai, it's almost time for the meeting......"
Outside the door came in the waiter Wang Hao saw just now, hearing her say this, Iida Ayano came to his senses, picked up Wang Hao's original manuscript casually, and left the office quickly, leaving only a burst of aftersound.
"Who, can you wait for me here first?"
Don't be late, why did you almost forget that today is Monday, and the president has to come to the meeting in person!!
I didn't expect this editor-in-chief, who is like a strong woman, to have such a reckless side, and I almost forgot the time of the meeting, which is really interesting.
β¦β¦
Weekly Shonen Jump Conference Office,When Iida Ayano entered,Everyone else was already in place.,Although it's not yet time for the meeting.,But this kind of lateness makes her embarrassed.γ
"Now that everyone is here, let's start this serial meeting. β
Shueisha Co., Ltd., one of the largest publishing houses in Neon, and the current president, Horiuchi Maru, sat in the middle and said lightly.
There were only a dozen people in the entire conference room, and their faces were serious, and they knew very well the importance of this meeting.
Among them were the editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief, and many senior editors, and the president, Maruki Horiuchi, personally presided over the meeting.
This meeting will decide which manga will be cut in half, as well as the serialization of new works, and the works that will be cut in half will be decided based on the ranking of readers' surveys.
All they have to do is to find new works, discover potential new manga artists, and inject new blood into Shueisha, which is very important, because one mistake will affect the reputation of Weekly Shonen Jump.
Therefore, this meeting concerns everyone present, and there must be no mistakes, and it must be taken seriously.
"You haven't seen you for a long time. β
As the president, Horiuchi Maru is the president, although his hair is a little gray, but he undoubtedly has a high prestige in Shueisha, and when he speaks, everyone present gets up and bows.
"President Horiuchi!"
"Sit down, everybody, and it's time for the meeting to begin. β
As soon as he spoke, the others slowly took their seats, Horiuchi Maruki turned on the computer, and the projector behind him released a set of data, and he continued heavily: "After reading these data, I believe everyone also understands the current situation of Shueisha, and if this continues, our position will change." β
Horiuchi Maru stood up, pointed out a set of data with his finger, and said loudly: "That's right, the sales of Weekly Shonen Jump have been gradually declining recently, while the other two have been steadily rising!"
From the very beginning, the editors present felt that something was wrong, because every Monday meeting, Horiuchi Maru asked others to report, but this meeting actually asked the president to investigate it himself, and you can see the seriousness of the situation.
"As we all know, it is not easy for us at Shueisha to have today, and when we became independent from Shogakukan, we received many blows, but through the continuous efforts of many seniors, we have reached where we are today. β
His eagle-like eyes looked around at everyone present, and those who were stared at by him immediately straightened up, and Horiuchi Maruki's prestige came into play at this time.
"So I don't want the crystallization of my predecessors to be destroyed in my hands, and I believe that everyone doesn't want this to happen either. β
This meeting was like Horiuchi Maruchi's personal speech, and at the moment when it was about the life and death of Shueisha, no one came out to refute him, and they all thought with a solemn face.
"I say this just to make you understand the current situation, and then I hope that you will take the meeting seriously and report on the situation of last week. β
The rest of the editors understood the meaning of what Horiuchi Maru had just said, in order to put more pressure on them to find good rookie manga artists.
The reason why they are in such a hurry is not unreasonable, because the halving of "Bleach " has too much impact on Shueisha, so now what they need is not ordinary comics, but phenomenal comics like "Bleach ", or even comics that surpass "Bleach "!!
According to the current level of Shueisha's manga artists, it is difficult for such works to appear, so I can only divert my attention to digging new people.
They didn't complain that Kubo took people to cut "Bleach in half", because the other party had already made a lot of contributions to Shueisha and established himself as the leader of the manga industry.
In addition, Kubo Obito has made it clear that the new work will be serialized at Shueisha, but it does not necessarily have the potential to become a phenomenal manga.
The Kubo era in the manga industry is over, so Shueisha has to face a dilemma, and the other editors know through Horiuchi Maruchi's words just now that this issue is obviously going to cut a few more manga in half.
Because the other two "Inuyasha" and "Fairy Tail" that are being serialized are gradually starting to become popular, Shueisha, which does not have "Bleach ", has obviously begun to decline, and the sales of the last issue still rely on reputation, but it is still much lower than when "Bleach " was serialized.
If you continue to eat jujube pills like this, you will be about to give up the position of the leading boss in the global comic industry, which is undoubtedly a great shame!!
Editor-in-chief Matsumoto turned on his computer and swapped out the contents of the projector, revealing six manga.
"These six are the comics that are determined to be cut in half, and after the supervision of various departments, they were finally decided. β
Looking at the cartoons on the projector,The atmosphere in the conference room is a little heavier.,There are one or two books on it.,It's okay.,Since it's sure to be cut in half.,Then it should be the will of the cartoonist himself.γ
"Who are the new cartoonists worth cultivating?"
The most critical issue of this meeting finally came, and all the editors looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all looked at Ayano Iida, who was the least senior.
"There are two rookie manga artists worth training, but I don't know much about one of them. β
Iida Ayano said stubbornly, at this time, only she could bear the pressure, took out a manuscript from her body, handed it to Horiuchi Maruki, and turned on her computer to transfer a copy of the manuscript to the projector.
When all the editors saw the content on the projector, they were shocked by the peerless painting style, how could such a perfect thing be a comic?!
It's so perfect.,There's no flaw in the details.,The delicate characters are almost up and down.,The style of painting is absolutely gorgeous.,Can't find fault with it.γ
The editors, who have worked in the manga industry for many years, were completely shocked that they had never seen a manga with such a style of art!!
