In the private room next to the editors of "young_animal" are more than a dozen NHK TV station staff.

After the successful conclusion of the last drawing contest by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, in line with the government's Olympic publicity strategy, NHK TV's documentary "The Kingdom of Manga Completely Revealed" officially started filming.

After more than a month of photography, the content of the comic magazine and the editorial department has been completed.

Today, after the filming was completed in the JUMP editorial department, I also invited Kazuhiko Torishima, the editor-in-chief of JUMP, and others to have a meal and thank them for their support and contribution to the documentary shooting.

And tomorrow, a dozen staff members will work in batches.

Among them, there are six people, who will take close information on the three manga artists appointed by the Agency for Cultural Affairs at the time, Osamu Tezuka, Rumiko Takahashi, and Qin Han.

This is also the most anticipated part of the whole documentary.

Cartoonists tend to keep a low profile and don't like to show their heads. And the fan base of famous cartoonists is not inferior to those entertainment stars.

Being able to see the true face of idols on TV and satisfy the "voyeurism" that all human beings have, presumably the ratings of the documentary will be considerable.

Although NHK doesn't have to rely on ratings to pull advertisements, the results are too ugly and it is not easy to explain to the leadership.

After the work of dense shooting was assigned, some people were happy and some were worried.

Koyama Kyosuke was very proud.

With the relationship between the high-level of the station, he got the filming job of Osamu Tezuka.

Being able to follow the legendary god of manga up close is something that can be blown for eight lifetimes!

Partnered with him, it's a guy who doesn't have much ability, but it's okay to be a sycophant, called Yoshimura Bai.

The two reporters who followed Rumiko Takahashi are both girls, and gender factors dominate them, so let's not mention them for the time being.

and Kyosuke Koyama, who usually doesn't look at each other well, and the good old man Kogi Sagoro, were "assigned" to be in charge of the filming of Qin and Han.

Yes, in Koyama's Kyosuke's view, this is "distribution".

Qin Han? An unknown rookie manga artist, it was only in order to take care of the so-called "diversity of candidates" and "creative freedom concept" that the Agency for Cultural Affairs was selected for the final list of three people.

There is no comparison with Osamu Tezuka, the god of manga!

and top manga artists like Rumiko Takahashi, there is also a distance of ten solar systems!

As soon as he thought of the chore on his opponent's side, Koyama Kyosuke felt in a very happy mood, and he could eat three bowls of rice.

But at tonight's banquet, Kyosuke Koyama felt more and more unhappy.

Because of several JUMP editors, I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, from time to time they will praise the nameless cartoonist named Qin Han.

Praise such as "the style of painting is groundbreaking", "the storyboard and narrative are of a super-first-class level", and "the original ink style comics are works of art" are simply calloused.

And what makes Kyosuke Koyama even more unacceptable is that Qin Han is actually a cartoonist that Kazuhiko Torishima is optimistic about and personally promoted.

Could it be that that guy is the next Akira Toriyama?

The more powerful Qin and Han are, the more it shows that Dongma Xiahe's work is not a chore. This makes Kyosuke Koyama unable to calm down.

When the JUMP editors were around, he didn't have a good seizure.

Now there are only a group of colleagues from the TV station, and Kyosuke Koyama finally can't hold it back.

It just so happened that at this time, there was another group of people in the private room next door praising Qin Han.

"Dragon Sakura" is really a powerful comic, I didn't read the original manuscript, I only read the name of the last few words faxed by Mr. Qin Han, and I was a little addicted. It's no wonder that such a comic is not popular! ”

"Thanks to Mr. Qin Han, the sales of our "young_animal" will have a big leap."

"One issue of the magazine serialized 40 pages of comics, 80 pages a month. It only takes two and a half months for "Dragon Sakura" to make up 200 pages and sell a single book. I'm a little impatient and don't know how much I can sell? ”

"The first printing of 200,000, the cumulative 500,000!"

"It's too conservative, I think a million is fine!"

"A million...... I hope so, in this way, the first cartoonist in the history of our White Springs Club was born. ”

This is actually borrowed from a saying in the entertainment industry, that is, if the record sales reach one million, it is considered platinum.

In the comics world, the competition is usually about the amount of tax.

Manga artists who pay more than 100 million yen a year are at the pinnacle of their profession.

Of course, if the average sales volume of a single volume can reach 100 million, and then count the income from various copyright expansions, it is not difficult to achieve an annual tax payment of 100 million.

The editors of the White Springs Club had a lively discussion, full of anticipation for the future.

But in another private room across the door, Kyosuke Koyama of NHK became more and more popular.

He finally couldn't hold it back and said sarcastically: "Now in this year, the economy is developing rapidly, and there are more and more guys daydreaming. Do you think that any cat or dog can become a cartoonist with sales of more than one million? ”

His follower, Yoshimura Bai, immediately chimed in: "That's it, whether it's the jump editor, or the Baiquan Society next door, they are all blowing that Qin Han." I see, this group of professional editors is not as clear as a layman like me. The comic industry is so competitive, and today's works are selling so well that they may be forgotten by readers tomorrow. ”

The others listened to the words of Kyosuke Koyama and Yoshimura Haku, and they all remained silent.

They are aware of the contradictions between Kyosuke Koyama and Natsuwa Higashima.

One relies on having a backstage in NHK and often gets carried away. Another graduate of a prestigious school.,Strong business ability.,But the temper is a little stubborn.,Sometimes I can't see Kyosuke Koyama.,I'll say a few words.。

After coming and going, they made enemies.

At this time, Koyama Kyosuke belittled Qin Han, but he actually wanted to deliberately anger Dong Ma Xiahe, so everyone pretended not to hear it and continued to drink and eat.

Dong Ma Xia and did not fight with Koyama Kyosuke as usual, but raised his head and poured a large sip of wine, which made his eyes blur.

Koyama Kyosuke did poke his pain.

Compared with an unknown cartoonist like Qin Han, he is of course more willing to shoot Tezuka Osamu Great.

I remember that after announcing the documentary shooting plan, Higashi Maxia was full of confidence, feeling that with his ability, he would definitely be sent to the most important job by Taili - with Osamu Tezuka.

After Dong Ma Xia told his family about it, his father even took out the treasured "Firebird" comics and asked him to go to the god of comics to sign them.

In the end, all expectations were disappointed, do you think he can not be depressed?

At this time, Higashi Maxiahe's partner Kogi Sagoro came out to play a round: "You can't say that." We are TV workers and should approach our work with a professional attitude. Famous cartoonists and rookie cartoonists have their own shooting techniques and programs, each with their own highlights, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. ”
