367 Dream job
As soon as Hiroto Hamaguchi finished speaking, someone pushed open the door of the pantry and shouted, "Hamaguchi, the editor-in-chief of Torishima is looking for you." ”
"Haha, I'm right. ”
"Hamaguchi, it seems that you are the editor in charge of Teacher Qin Han. ”
"Let's have a drink in the evening and everyone celebrates. ”
Hiroto Hamaguchi did not dare to be as optimistic as his colleagues. He came to the editor-in-chief's office with trepidation, and saw the legendary editor in everyone's eyes, Kazuhiko Torishima, sitting in front of the computer and busy.
"Editor, do you have anything to do with me?"
Kazuhiko Torishima focused on dealing with the things in front of him, and didn't even raise his head: "Oh, Hamaguchi, you're here." Let me tell you, you will be the editor of Teacher Qin Han in the future. You prepare in a while, and I will take you to visit the door and recognize the door. ”
Hiroto Hamaguchi didn't expect that the matter was really said by his colleagues.
He asked with a look of surprise: "Editor, for ...... Why choose me?"
"Because you have the ability and qualifications, and you don't have much work at hand. After Tokuo Takahashi leaves, you are the most suitable person. ”
"But the editor, I used to be the editor in charge of Toshima Ryuzo......"
Kazuhiko Torishima smiled slightly, "I know what you're thinking, Hamaguchi." Don't worry, Teacher Qin Han won't mind this kind of thing. How can we be confused with Toshima Ryuzo, you are you? We are only the editors in charge of the manga artists, and we are not the parents of the manga artists, so do we have to bear the mistakes made by the manga artists for the rest of our lives?"
After saying that, Kazuhiko Torishima paused, and then asked, "So, Hamaguchi, are you willing to accept this task? Or are you, like Takahashi, not ready to accept the arrangement of the editorial department?"
Hiroto Hamaguchi suddenly felt that the editor seemed to exude a chill. I'm afraid that the other party has been overwhelmed by the previous Takahashi Tokuo incident, and if he refuses again, he probably won't end well.
Moreover, Hiroto Hamaguchi did not want to refuse.
Being able to be the editor in charge of a famous cartoonist and being able to witness the birth of an excellent cartoon is definitely something he dreams of.
Hiroto Hamaguchi has had enough of working like a dead fish without any hope or passion.
"Yes, editor, I do. Hamaguchi nodded fiercely.
"Good. ”
Kazuhiko Torishima looked at his watch and said, "Let's go, let's go to Teacher Qin Han's house together." His "Midfield Core" has long passed the serial meeting, but for various reasons, it has been delayed until now. The first issue of JUMP in November, be sure to publish this sports manga!"
Last week, a new manga called "Detective Conan" was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Sunday".
Originally, everyone in the JUMP editorial department thought that this was just another shonen mystery manga that followed the trend of "Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book".
After all, before its author, Aoyama Gosho, was a second-rate cartoonist, his strength was mediocre, and he didn't have a masterpiece that he could really get his hands on.
Who knows, "Detective Conan" was actually well received with its novel and interesting story and character settings, which made the sales of the current issue of "Weekly Boy Sunday" increase by more than 10%.
Although now, the fledgling "Detective Conan" is not as good as the already popular "Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book", but over time, it will be unclear.
Dongying's reasoning comics market is very large, and it can fully accommodate two equally excellent works, but it is still unknown who can overwhelm the opponent and win the battle.
"Weekly Shonen Jump" can't be good enough mystery manga to compete with "Detective Conan" and "Kanedaichi Shonen Incident Book" for the time being, but if it can produce a sports manga that rivals or even beats "Baseball Heroes", it can also help the magazine increase sales.
Since "Raiden Swordsman", it has been more than two years on "Weekly Shonen Jump", and not a single phenomenal manga has been born.
The entire editorial department, and even the entire Shueisha, are hoping that someone will come out of nowhere and stop the current decline of JUMP.
Kazuhiko Torishima drove the car and Hiroto Hamaguchi to the high-rise apartment where Qin Han lived in Minato.
As he passed the hall, Kazuhiko Torishima nodded to the security guard.
The security guard also greeted: "Ah, hello. ”
Kazuhiko Torishima has been in and out of this place many times, and he is already familiar with it. He pointed to the Hamaguchi next to him: "This is Hamaguchi, in the future, he will be the editor in charge of Teacher Qin Han, and he will come here instead of me." ”
"Ah, I see. I will inform the team that I will not ask Mr. Hamaguchi every time in the future. ”
In front of the dedicated visitor elevator, Kazuhiko Torishima entered the house number, and after talking to Qin Han to confirm, the elevator door slowly opened.
"Editor, it's a high-end apartment, and the security here is really strict. Hamaguchi said with an exaggerated expression.
"Remember these steps, otherwise, you won't even be able to find the door of Teacher Qin Han's house. Kazuhiko Torishima said, "Mr. Qin Han is not only a manga artist, but also runs a club, and now he is also a celebrity. It's okay to focus on security and privacy. ”
The elevator starts running.
I don't know if it's the effect of acceleration or other reasons, but Hamaguchi always feels a little uneasy.
"Editor, Mr. Qin Han really won't mind, did I use this matter as the editor in charge of Toshima Ryuzo before?"
"Don't worry, with what I know about him, no. Kazuhiko Torishima said.
If it was more than a year ago, Qin Han, who had not experienced the setback of blocking, might have minded Hamaguchi's past. But now, Kazuhiko Torishima knows that the young man has long become mature, steady, and inspirational, to the level of human affection.
came to Qin Han's house, and in the living room, the three of them met.
"Qin Han, this is Hiroshi Hamaguchi. He'll be your editor from now on. ”
"Hamaguchi, this is Teacher Qin Han. ”
After Kazuhiko Torishima made a brief introduction, Hiroto Hamaguchi hurriedly got up and bowed: "Teacher Qin Han, please give me more advice in the future." ”
Qin Han also got up with a smile and returned the salute: "Don't be so grand, in the future, the comic "Midfield Core" will be entrusted to you." ”
Seeing that Qin Han had a kind attitude, it was indeed not like a suspicious appearance, so he breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also secretly made up his mind to put 12 points of effort into his work, so that the comic "Midfield Core" can shine.
"Because the editor in charge has not been decided, resulting in the delay problem, Mr. Qin Han's original manuscript has been saved a lot, which is enough for a long time. Hamaguchi, how about you take a look first?"
"Is it really possible?" Hamaguchi was a little excited.
The original manuscript of "Midfield Core", the people who have seen it so far, in addition to Tsukasa Hojo, are the editor-in-chief of Kazuhiko Torishima, as well as the two deputy editors, and the head of the editorial team.
And Hiroto Hamaguchi, a small editor who is not qualified to participate in the serial conference, has never had the opportunity to meet.
