498 [Young Second]
On January 12, after the acquisition, the publication was discontinued and relaunched, and the new second world journal "Shonen Second", which had been in preparation for more than a month, was finally published. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
With the help of the previous company's channels and the relationship with Haruki Kadokawa, they are sold together at Kadokawa Bookstore.
On Shonen Second, a total of several flagship works "Dragon Ball", "Lucky Star Kid", "Baseball Hero", "The Last Champion" and "Saint Seiya" are included in five classic works that are so luxurious that they have no friends and their sales explode on the spot.
Among them, Dragon Ball was completed by Xu Wenhui alone.
Fuxing Kid is a work provided by Xu Wenhui and completed by Rumiko Takahashi independently, with the cooperation of assistants.
The baseball hero is Xu Wenhui who provides storyboards, character designs, etc., Anda Chong creates independently, and "The Last Champion" is completely created by all his personal efforts, because it takes more than a month to prepare, so although he creates two comics at the same time, Anda Chong is very relaxed.
As for the work "Saint Seiya", it is very special, because the world is too large, and at present, no cartoonist in the company can complete this work independently, Xu Wenhui simply asked all cartoonists to complete this work.
There are several ace works Xu Wenhui is still afraid of monotony, so he simply spent some simple four-panel comics to fill in the content.
Four-panel comics, everyone has basically seen it, that is, to complete a small story with four screen grids, or a creative idea, just a few frames cover the occurrence of an event, plot twists and humorous endings, which makes people feel unaware after reading it, and will smile or laugh heartily, which is very interesting.
There are countless classic four-panel comics, and Xu Wenhui simply got the five-year-old prodigy "Crayon Xiaoxin" together.
And so it goes.
Xu Wenhui got busy, so in addition to Araki Fei Lu Yan, he also found three assistants, a total of four assistants to work together to help him typeset and color comics, draw grids, etc., so that Xu Wenhui could just do it.
That's it.,Five ace works.,A classic four-panel comic.,It also includes some naïve works by Tetsuo Hara and others who hone their drawing skills.,A total of 10 comics!
On the 12th, his first comic magazine, finally came out.
The cost of a comic magazine, when printed, is about one dollar.
The price of a magazine on the market is three to five yuan, which is much more expensive than a general newspaper.
Magazines are generally divided into weekly and monthly, which is a very simple mathematical calculation, and the more you print, the lower the cost.
Although Xu Wenhui's Second World Comic Magazine has just been established, it is not short of money, the money for the acquisition of this island comic company, and the money for holding an assistant contest, plus the money of the Second World of Xiangjiang, and the salaries of cartoonists and staff for more than a month, add up to only more than 3 million, and there is still a lot of money in the preparation of 10 million.
Therefore, the local tyrant Xu Wenhui directly printed 50,000 magazines and put them into the market, and at the same time, some Kadokawa bookstores and major bookstores also appeared in the second world comic magazine.
Inside the office of the president of the Second World.
Everyone was anxiously waiting, especially Adamitsu and Rumiko Takahashi, who were newcomers, were extremely nervous.
"Grab it, Dragon Ball, the secret of the world, the most exciting secret in the world,....... Let's go see that incredible dream, grab it, Dragon Ball!!" Xu Wenhui sat in the boss's chair and leisurely hummed "Maha Unthinkable" sung by Yoki Takahashi, the classic OP of the first Dragon Ball, the anime was adapted into animation, and the sound in it played an irreplaceable role in the effect of the entire animation. In addition to retaining the original art style, the classic Dragon Ball animation classic pen also adds an extremely classic soundtrack.
While humming, Xu Wenhui was holding the comics and watching them with relish, the first issue of "Youth Second" On the cover is the image of Athena cosplay by Kashiwahara Yoshie, and next to Athena are a group of saint warriors, and behind are the Yuyin high school students above the lucky star boy, and below is the baseball field, which is the scene of the duel between Tatsuya Uesugi and Kazuya, and on the top is sitting on a somersault cloud, holding a red stick with an innocent smile, the hearty Monkey King, it can be said that just the color cover is already particularly attractive.
"Rumiko!!Your first episode of "Lucky Star Kid" is very exciting!" Xu Wenhui looked at the part about "Lucky Star Kid" and couldn't help but smile and said: "It's much better than I imagined, and your painting is also very good, I believe that once it is launched, it will be very popular." ”
"President, it's all the background and characters you set, and I'm just designing the plot according to the outline you gave. Rumiko Takahashi said shyly, and hurriedly said to Xu Wenhui: "It's just that the plot is really interesting, I'm afraid of ......"
Rumiko Takahashi is not as confident as she imagined, in fact, the prototype of "Fuxing Kid" is Rumiko Takahashi's work "Wayward Boy", which won the 2nd Shogakukan Newcomer Award.
Originally published in the 39th issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday in 1978, it was originally planned to end the series after only five episodes.
And Ram was originally only a supporting role scheduled to appear once, but later due to the popularity and praise of the majority of readers, it was added 10 times.
I didn't expect it to become more and more out of control after 10 times, and enthusiastic readers must have asked for a long serialization.
But at this time, Rumiko Takahashi was deliberately dropping out of school and devoting herself to comic work, but she was strongly opposed by her family, so the serialization of "Lucky Star Kid" was also intermittent!
Of course, now that Xu Wenhui has given her a complete outline, and has a stable salary and bonus support, Rumiko Takahashi is already planning to drop out of school, although her family strongly opposes it, but she has been trying to convince her parents recently, just waiting for "Lucky Star Kid" to be a hit.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Xu Wenhui shook his head and said, "Don't you believe my words Rumiko?"
Although Xu Wenhui handed over the character image, outline, and storyboard to Rumiko Takahashi, he still has to rely on Rumiko Takahashi herself to be able to draw wonderfully and attractively.
"President Takahashi, you're right, you've set up the plot very well and it's fascinating. Anda Mitsuru also comforted Rumiko Takahashi.
Now everyone is already grasshoppers on the same bridge, so they cartoonists have gotten along well during this time.
"Yes, not only the plot, but also the painter, but Rumiko, you have to be more diligent in the future. Xu Wenhui nodded.
