065 Fun facts about road construction

"Gorou, you're right. But work is for people to do. Since people are doing it, sometimes they can't treat problems objectively and rationally. In my opinion, going to shoot Osamu Tezuka is as cool as traveling to Hawaii at public expense! As for going to shoot Qin Han, it's as embarrassing as taking the Yamanote Line from Ikebukuro to Shimbashi on a weekday, haha!"

"I can't say that, although Teacher Qin Han is a newcomer, he still has strength. Whether it's the previous drawing contest or the newly released commercial comics, they are very popular, and it will ...... over time."

"Who can say this kind of thing clearly?"

Syllable!

Suddenly, Dong Ma Xia interrupted the conversation, slammed the wine glass on the table, and got up and left.

"Alas, Dongma, don't be in a hurry to leave!" Kogi Sagoro hurriedly got up and chased after him.

The drinking party ended unhappily, but Kyosuke Koyama felt very happy when he saw his rival being so angry that he left.

"Cut, what Qin Han, he is not a famous cartoonist at all, and that guy from East Malaysia will definitely not be able to shoot content that is popular with the audience. This time, I won!"

…………

The next morning, Qin Han's apartment.

Ding dong~

Hearing the doorbell ringing, Qin Han opened the door and saw two men holding handheld cameras.

"Hello Teacher Qin Han, I'm Kogi Goro, who I talked to on the phone before, and this is Dongma Xiahe. Said the man with a round face and a kind and kind look.

"I'm Dong Ma Xia He, please advise. Another Svenwen, a man with glasses, bowed and greeted.

Qin Han had received a notice from NHK TV station before and knew about the filming, so he was not surprised, and just let the two people into the house.

Because it is a dense shooting, only professional handheld cameras are used, and there are no other personnel such as sound collection, lighting, etc., so it will not affect the work too much.

Otherwise, Qin Han would rather lose the opportunity to participate in the documentary filming than delay his work.

Because of this interview, he also hid the unscientific props of the elf pen in advance, so he didn't have to worry about leaking secrets.

After the two reporters entered the house, they rested for a while and officially started their work.

"This is where I usually work, so let's take a look. After Qin Han showed his studio, he sat down in front of the writing table.

"That's amazing, that's where cartoonists work. Kogi Sogoro was amazed while shooting.

He is also a manga fan who buys several comic magazines every week, and he always has some unrealistic visions of the place where cartoonists work, feeling that it is a sacred and mysterious place.

In contrast, the interest in East Mashawa is not very high.

First, I was immersed in the pain of missing the opportunity to shoot Tezuka Okami. Second, after leaving the izakaya last night, I went home and drank for a while, woke up with a hangover, had a headache, and was not in a state.

"I don't have anything unusual here, but it's a little bigger. Qin Han saw that Kogi Sogoro looked like a curious baby, and said with a smile, "The really powerful one is a top cartoonist like Akira Toriyama." I'm not saying how big his studio is or how lavish the dΓ©cor is. It's unfathomable. It's the kind of place where you can find works created by manga artists that have never been released, and you can also find the immature works of top manga artists before they became famous. You can also see the growth trajectory from a rookie to a top manga artist. ”

"It's like Osamu Tezuka's studio. Dong Ma Xia said in a muffled voice.

Qin Han saw that the reporter's mood seemed to be a little wrong, but he didn't care: "Yes, it's like Tezuka God." ”

"Teacher Qin Han, you know so well, have you ever been to Mr. Akira Toriyama's studio?"

"I've been there, but I went because of Torishima-san. However, at that time, Mr. Akira Toriyama went on a honeymoon trip, and he didn't see him or ask for an autograph. Qin Han spread his hands and made a helpless look.

"Teacher Qin Han, you have such a good relationship with Kazuhiko Torishima, you should still know some gossip about Mr. Akira Toriyama, right?"

Obviously, compared with Qin and Han, a top manga artist who pays a tax of 1 billion yen a year is more attractive.

Qin Han didn't care, and he didn't get angry because the two of them obviously came to interview him, but they talked about Toriyama Ming. He thought for a moment and said, "An interesting incident happened not long ago, and it should not have been reported by the media now. Did you know that the Kiyosu Airport Expressway, which opened to traffic last month, was actually built specifically for Akira Toriyama?"

Akira Toriyama is a standard farmer's child who grew up in the middle of nowhere.

After working hard in Tokyo, he was tired of the city life of steel and concrete, so he moved back to his hometown, Kiyosu City, Aichi Prefecture.

As a serialized cartoonist, even if you move to the countryside, you have to update it on time every week. Especially now that "Dragon Ball" is so popular, the suspension of one issue will cause a big shock from the editorial department to readers to all related businessmen.

Therefore, the issue of delivery has become the top priority.

Akira Toriyama is a very traditional person and doesn't like fax and Internet tools. Each week, the JUMP editor flies from Tokyo to Nagoya and then takes a car to pick it up at his home.

For the sake of "Dragon Ball" being so profitable, a little air ticket travel expenses, the JUMP editorial department will recognize it.

Kiyosu is a small town with a population of only 70,000, and it is part of the Nagoya metropolitan area, and it is not financially wealthy. The road from the airport to Akiya Toriyama was in poor condition, and there were several times when the deadline for submission was missed due to traffic problems.

So Akira Toriyama thought about moving to a place with more convenient transportation.

As soon as the news spread, the three levels of government in Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya, and Kiyosu City were all taken aback.

Because in Dongying, personal income tax is collected by the local government.

If Akira Toriyama, a big taxpayer, runs away, it will be genuine, and he will lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

So the civil servants came up with a solution: build a road, build a first-class road from Nagoya Airport to Akiya Toriyama!

In this way, it not only retains large taxpayers, but also invests in infrastructure to boost GDP.

The first time I heard Qin Han tell a big gossip about a top cartoonist and the government's road construction, Kogi Sagoro and Dong Ma Xia and the two of them were all stunned and surprised.

"It's too exaggerated, the government alone builds a road for one person!"

"It's Akira Toriyama, it's amazing!"

Although this big news has nothing to do with this shooting, it will undoubtedly cause heated discussions. Now, the profession of cartoonist is already hot, and when the matter of road construction comes out again, won't it be to heaven?!

"Teacher Qin Han, can this news be reported?"

"It's been known to everyone in Kiyosu City for a long time, and almost everyone at Shueisha knows this anecdote. On the contrary, it is strange that the media has not reported it until now. ”
