Coming to the private room that the izakaya had already booked, Qin Han found that there were three people who had arrived one step earlier than him.

Inoue Yuhiko, Ken Ohata, and a young man with a round face, like a peasant boy.

"Ah Qin, you're the protagonist who came early, sit down quickly!"

Inoue Yuhiko hurriedly beckoned Qin Han to sit down.

"Long time no see. After Qin Han said hello, he looked at the young man he didn't know: "This is ......"

Ken Obata introduced, "This is my assistant, Nobuhiro Kazuki. He has a lot of potential, and he may be able to become a great cartoonist in the future, so today he brings a long insight. ”

In his previous life, Nobuhiro Kazuki was a top manga artist who created masterpieces such as "Rogue Kenshin". But at this time, he was still a young man who was a little restrained in front of his predecessors.

"It's true that a manga artist who has already debuted in JUMP, but he has begun to think of himself as a senior when he says something different. Qin Han quipped.

"You guy is the most qualified to be called a 'senior'!" "Ken Obata scolded with a smile, ""Dragon Sakura" sells so well, and the sales of more than one million are like a soldering iron scalding chrysanthemums, and you can't get rid of it." ”

"Hey, don't use such a disgusting analogy, I'm going to have to eat later. Inoue Yuhiko slapped Ken Obata.

After a while, Gui Zhenghe, Araki Fei Lu Yan and others arrived one after another.

The proprietress in a kimono commanded the clerk to serve the food and drinks, and the New Year's party of several young manga artists officially began.

The most unserious Gui Zhenghe took a bite of the seafood tempura fiercely and said, "It's still the most comfortable for good friends to eat together, otherwise, even if the food is good, it will be very awkward, right, Ah Xiong?"

Inoue Yuhiko smiled wryly and nodded.

The two of them talked about the Shonen Jump New Year's party held two days ago.

Both Inoue and Katsura Masakazu participated in the Tezuka Prize in the second half of last year. Then, just like the historical reappearance of the previous life of the Qin and Han dynasties, Inoue Yuhiko won the first place in the Tezuka Award for a long time.

and Gui Zhenghe is the second place candidate.

For the loss to Inoue Yuhiko, Katsura Masakazu saw it very openly, and after getting the prize of 1 million yen, he immediately went to buy a set of 500,000 yen high-end audio.

After debuting with Tezuka Reward, the two of them also got the qualification to test the waters of serialized short manga in the Jump supplement. And Inoue Yuhiko passed the serialization meeting not long after, and officially began serialization in "Weekly Shonen Jump", and his work is called "Chameleon".

Because they are already the official authors of Jump, Yuhiko Inoue and Masakazu Katsura are also eligible to participate in the Shonen Jump New Year's Party.

Originally, the New Year's party was a big party where everyone got together to eat and drink, the old men reminisced, the young people met their idols, and finally played the lottery game, and after the end of the party, they went home happily with the prizes they won.

This year, however, the atmosphere of Jump's New Year's party was a little off.

Because the author of the popular manga "Raiden Swordsman" under the umbrella of "Weekly Shonen Jump", Toshima Ryuzo, was arrested for violently threatening underage women and attempting sexual assault!

Although Dongying is a relatively liberal country in terms of sexuality, the protection of minors is very strict.

Even if it is a kind of money and physical transaction that you are willing to do, if you involve minors, if you are discovered, you will have to go to jail, not to mention suspected rape.

Toshima Ryuzo is completely finished now, and no matter how much money the family has, it can't be saved.

And for Shueisha, this means that "Raiden Swordsman" has to be cut in half, and the losses caused are measured in billions of yen.

In this case, of course, Jump's New Year's party will not be happy.

"The host of the New Year's party specially invited the photo idol Miss Anri Sugihara. I was going to go to her and ask for her phone number, but it turned out that the matter of Toshima Ryuzo came out and it was ruined. Gui Zhenghe sighed, and then smiled at Qin Han again, "But for you, this is good news. That guy deserved to end up like this!"

"Well, that's retribution. ”

"Using despicable means to frame others will not end well after all!"

The others echoed it, and they were quite happy to have revenge.

As the initiator of letting Toshima Ryuzo go in to pick up soap, Qin Han acted calmly, just laughing and not saying a word.

The atmosphere at the wine table is getting more and more enthusiastic. As the person with the best development prospects and comics today, Qin Han is naturally the center of the topic.

And Inoue Yuhiko and Ken Kohata, the two who have already obtained the qualification for JUMP serialization, have a trace of sadness between their eyebrows.

Qin Han also knew what was going on.

The comics of the two of them are now in the bottom fifteenth position in the jump reader rankings, and it can be said that they are on the verge of being cut in half.

Especially Ken Obata's "Playing Handsome Grandpa G". Although a single volume was also released, the sales were very poor, and it can be said that it was leading the big crisis head-on.

Ken Obata stuffed a piece of stewed radish into his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice: "Ah Qin, you have also read my comics, can you show me a way to increase my popularity?

"Shouldn't you discuss this kind of thing when deciding on the direction of the comics?"

Araki Fei Lu Yan interjected: "Don't you know? Now the nickname of 'Qin Han who turns stones into gold' has spread throughout the entire Hitotsubashi Group!"

The Qin and Han dynasties who turned stones into gold?

What is the nickname for the second disease?

Qin Han was inexplicable.

Araki Fei Lu Yan explained, and he knew what was going on.

It turned out that at the previous celebration party when the sales of "young_animal" in Baiquan Club exceeded one million, Keya Shu was inspired by "Dragon Sakura" and created "Husband and Wife Growth Diary", and Kentaro Miura was affirmed by Qin Han and strengthened his determination to continue to create "Legend of Sword Wind", which was spread by good deeds.

Because the birth of "Husband and Wife Growth Diary" and "Legend of Sword Wind" have something to do with Qin and Han, the result is more and more outrageous, and it becomes that it is precisely because of the existence of Qin and Han that these two best-selling comics were born. The fact that Hakusensha's "young_animal" was able to surpass Kodansha's "Weekly Morning" and become the best-selling youth manga magazine in Toei was almost facilitated by Qin Han alone.

"Did you know that a lot of down-and-out cartoonists are trying to find your contact information, and they want you to give you some pointers and draw best-selling works? If it weren't for my friendship, I'm afraid I would have used your phone number and home address to sell it for money. Araki Fei Lu Yan smiled cheaply.

Qin Han shook his head.

These guys are really more than one loser.

He thought for a moment and said to Ken Obata: "I don't have the rumored ability to 'turn stones into gold'. But as a friend, if you want me to give you a suggestion for your manga, I'd be happy to do it. ”

When Kobata Ken heard this, he hurriedly ran to Qin Han and sat down: "Please, Teacher Qin Han!"
