Chapter 323: The Abandoned Divine Lord
Comics are going to be cut in half, who cares if they are enthusiastic or not at that time?
Although the routine is a big problem, if you don't carry out the routine, this manga can be said to have no problem.
Why is it okay? because I was cut in half!
It's sad, but it's also true, and it's hard to admit that it's a brutal industry.
If you want to survive here, you must have the corresponding talents, and it is most appropriate to eat the weak and the strong here.
There are only a total of 20 serialization slots on Weekly Jump, and generally only those who win the first place in the newcomer are eligible for official serialization.
This serialization is not just a single serial, every time a newcomer appears first, it means that there will be a comic on the weekly jump that is facing the end of being cut in half.
Of course, it's not that newcomers will be able to get serialized first, Shueisha is relatively human, and the works at the end of the weekly jump row, as long as they are not ranked in that position several times in a row, then they will not be cut in half.
As for the first place newcomer, they will be arranged to be serialized in other manga magazines under Shueisha.
Another way is that your manga will be able to shock the entire editorial department, and the editorial department will definitely open the door without hesitation, which Dragon Ball has done.
"I'm sure everyone should know the bad news I'm going to say, right?"
Horiuchi Maru asked a faint question in front of everyone, and no one answered him, but the atmosphere present was a little more serious.
He stretched out his fingers and tapped lightly on the tabletop, and a very calm tapping sound resounded throughout the conference room, the rhythm was unhurried, but it made most people sweat coldly.
After about three minutes, Horiuchi Maru seemed to feel that no one would stand up and answer any longer, so he withdrew his hand, clubbed his chin with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that everyone is not carried away by the good news, last week's weekly jump sales were a total of 2.2 million, and when the Grim Reaper was serialized, our sales were about 2 million, do you think that the next will be smooth when you see that last week rose by 200,000?"
No one answered him, and Horiuchi Maru didn't feel surprised, the whole conference room seemed to be his own speech, and Horiuchi Maru didn't care about it in the slightest, "If that's the idea, then I suggest you go back to your place of work now, pack your bags and get out, you can tell others that I'm abusing my power or something." ”
"President's ......"
One of the editors present smiled a little bitterly, and Horiuchi Maru suddenly reached out and slapped the table like a fried cat, and shouted angrily: "President, president, what is the president? Do you still know that I am the president here?!
What I have explained has not moved at all since last week! You have kept me standing still, do you know that when you were doing nothing, our entire Shueisha wasted another precious week?
If anyone doesn't want to do this job and resign directly, I will approve it on the spot, our company does not raise idlers!"
Horiuchi Maruchi's roar echoed in the ears of everyone present, and the editor who had just spoken out was the one who wanted to cry the most.
He just shouted the word president very ordinarily, but he didn't expect to face a storm, but although his face was blue and red, he didn't dare to hit Horiuchi Maru who was angry in front of him, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.
It should be said that none of the people present dared to anger the angry president at this time, so they took advantage of the situation to give the other party a step down.
Everyone present believed that after some venting, Horiuchi Maruchi's anger would also drop a little, so everyone could only look at the editor who had the courage to stand up just now with sympathetic eyes.
Sure enough, after taking advantage of the momentum to say the words that were held in his heart, Horiuchi Maru's depressed mood finally improved a little, but his face was still gloomy, and he said with a solemn face: " By the time Mr. Yoshihiro Fujian closes the publication, the sales of our weekly jump will not be 2.2 million, I'm afraid it will drop directly to 1 million, so I hope you can work hard in the future, don't sit in the office all day, and think that there are newcomers with phenomenal comics to contribute, since no one has contributed with phenomenal comics, then let me go out and look for it, if you can't find it, don't come back, understand?!"
"Got it!!"
Everyone responded in unison, they all knew that Horiuchi Maruki was not joking this time, and if things really messed up, life would not be so good at that time, but then they were really a little uncomfortable.
In fact, in the comic industry, it is normal for editors to go out to find new people, and even the editors-in-chief of some comic magazines have personally gone out to recruit new people.
But Shueisha is different after all, almost except for those famous Taishan Beidou people in the industry, the editors of the editorial department of the weekly Jump will not pull down their faces to find newcomers or dig into the wall, because neon cartoonists all over the country, and even around the world, will automatically come to contribute.
As Shueisha editors, they only need to sit in the office and select the manga one by one, and when they find the right one, they will look at the contact information on the email.
The author and editor of the work will talk face-to-face, which does not mean that the rookie manga artist is 100% qualified to be serialized in a manga magazine.
During this time, the editor will also observe the cartoonist's actions and conversations, and if it is the type that does not listen to persuasion, it is likely that he will choose to give up directly.
However, Shueisha, which is now facing a big crisis, can't manage so many three-seven-twenty-one, although they know that they will go out to find new people in person, and it is unlikely that they will find phenomenal comics, but at present, they can only use dead horses as live horse doctors, what if the blind cat meets a dead mouse?
Hearing this, Horiuchi Maru's face softened, and his tone softened, "I may have been a little rushed to speak just now, and I hope you can forgive me."
But now there is only this stupid way to increase the probability of 1 point more, if you wait until the end of time like this, then the consequences are clear to everyone, as long as who can contribute this time, we will not be stingy with rewards, I believe the headquarters will also remember. ”
This method of sticks and candies is very common in the workplace, but it is tried and tested, and it is often easy to motivate employees.
Hearing the word headquarters, many people present showed a slightly abnormal look, even Iida Ayano was no exception, and only the editor-in-chief Matsumoto and the deputy editor-in-chief Kitahara looked as usual.
Seeing this, Horiuchi Maru smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Iida Ayano and said, "Editor-in-chief Iida, you don't have to pay attention to the god master teacher, I believe that everyone is very clear about this problem, and at present, you can only give up the god master teacher."
Therefore, the editor-in-chief of Iida only needs to increase his efforts to find potential newcomers and focus on cultivating Shiina Mahaku. ”
