001 Banned cartoonists
When Qin Han opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a soft tatami mat.
He struggled to sit up, and found that he was not on a plane about to crash into the sea, but in a Japanese-style room about five stacks in size, surrounded by mountains of household garbage.
"Reborn after the plane crash?"
Rubbing his head, Qin Han found that there were many more memories from the original owner of this body in his mind.
This is a parallel world similar to the previous life of the Qin and Han dynasties. It's just that the world line has changed.
Because there are no historical problems and the culture is similar, the relationship between Dongying and China in this world is very good, and Dongying is like the back garden of China.
And the young man with the same name and surname who was possessed by the soul of Qin and Han was a Dongying Chinese.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qin family moved to Ryukyu to avoid war, and it has a history of 370 years.
Today, Ryukyu has long since become Okinawa, but the Qin family still inherits the Chinese tradition of valuing education. Qin Han studied hard since he was a child, and was admitted to the University of Tokyo majoring in mechanical engineering, which is the pride of the whole family.
However, the previous Qin Han didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and suddenly wanted to chase his dream and become a cartoonist. For this reason, he did not hesitate to drop out of the University of Tokyo, and even fell out with his family and almost broke off the relationship.
With a smart mind and the momentum of advancing and retreating, Qin Han has really made some achievements in the comic industry. After working as a manga artist's assistant for half a year, he submitted a short story to win the Golden Future Cup of "Weekly Shonen Jump", and officially debuted as a newcomer.
After half a year of hard work, he was finally recognized at the editorial department's serialization meeting and qualified to be serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump", the manga magazine with the largest circulation in the whole country.
However, the joy and sadness were that after Qin Han worked for three consecutive days, when he was sleeping with his head in his hands, one of his comic assistants stole the original manuscript and his personal seal and sent it to the editorial office of the second-largest comic magazine in Dongying, "Weekly Shonen Magazine", to submit the article in the name of Qin Han.
Under a series of operations, the submission actually passed the review and was ready to be serialized in the "Weekly Shonen Magazine".
However, the matter soon came to light.
In order to grasp more author resources, the publisher has to sign an exclusive contract for the manga artists serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump". During the contract period, manga artists can only contribute to "Weekly Shonen Jump", otherwise it will be a serious breach of contract!
Although it's a bit of an overlord clause, but for the sake of the generous contract money and the name of the industry's first, there are still many manga artists who are willing to sign a contract and become a magical girl, ah no, it's to become a JUMP-exclusive manga artist.
Qin Han was framed by his assistant and submitted multiple manuscripts, causing great economic losses, and not only angered Shueisha, which published "Weekly Shonen Jump", but also Kodansha, which published "Weekly Shonen Magazine", was greatly dissatisfied.
"Isn't it a joke that even though I'm a manga artist exclusive to JUMP, I came to us to post articles!!" When he got the news, the editor-in-chief of Weekly Shonen Magazine shouted angrily and slammed the table.
After that, Qin Han's assistant disappeared without a trace, and the editor in charge of reviewing the manuscript of "Weekly Shonen Magazine" also resigned.
The Hitotsubashi Group behind Shueisha and the Otowa Group behind Kodansha also issued a ban on Qin and Han from publishing their works in any of their publications.
Qin Han was banned by the two major publishing giants at the same time, and other publishers would not be willing to offend the two publishing giants for an unknown newcomer, so it can be said that Qin Han's life as a cartoonist is almost over.
Falling from the clouds to the bottom, the former Qin Han couldn't stand the blow and hid at home to escape reality, until he was occupied by the soul of another world after sudden death.
"According to memory, the development of this world has reached the level of the first decade of the 21st century, but the two-dimensional entertainment industry is still at the level of the 80s of the 20th century. With the insight and vision of my previous life, coupled with the skills of a cartoonist left by this body, it is not difficult to become a successful cartoonist who pays more than 100 million yuan in taxes a year and lives a rich life with royalties alone in the second half of his life. ”
Qin Han thought about it for a while, and sighed again: "It's a pity that it was actually blocked by the two major publishing groups......
He walked around the room and went to the bathroom to look in the mirror.
His hair was disheveled, his beard was scruffy, his face was pale, and his eyes were blank.
Live off a decadent appearance of excessive immortal cultivation.
What's even more terrifying is that the last three Fukuzawa Yukichi (30,000 yen) are left in the wallet, and the rent and utility bills for the next quarter will have to be paid.
In addition, he is also burdened with 20 million yen in liquidated damages, which he has to pay to Shueisha.
"This situation is a bit tricky!" Qin Han rubbed his sore temples.
"What's so tricky? You dropped out of college, you only had a high school degree, and you fell out with your family. Is there any other way to go than to draw comics?"
An unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out.
"Who is it?" Qin Han was startled.
"I am the two-dimensional entertainment system, lodged in the depths of your consciousness. The purpose of my existence is to assist the host you in achieving the highest achievement in the four major fields of ACGN (animation, comics, games, and novels) in this world, and become the god of two-dimensional entertainment!"
Qin Han was stunned for a moment, and then accepted the existence of the system.
After all, in these years, when you travel through rebirth, you don't bring a system, what's the difference between it and salted fish?
He started a life conversation with the system seriously.
"It's true that I don't seem to have a better option now than to draw comics. But it's been banned by the two major publishing groups, what should I do?"
"Although the two major publishing groups are powerful, they can't cover the sky with one hand. You don't need to draw commercial comics, you can create doujinshi. ”
The words of the system seemed to open up a new world for Qin and Han.
Doujinshi generally refers to books created by individuals or groups according to their own hobbies. The subject matter is wide, such as comics, novels, resource collections, picture books, etc. The content can be original or adapted from existing work.
Like CLAMP and Xingyue in Qin and Han's previous lives, it is a homo group that successfully transformed into commercialization after becoming famous.
Qin Han was banned because he was just an unknown rookie cartoonist, and there was no cost to ban. But if he makes a name for himself and makes the publisher see the benefits, then someone will definitely dare to risk offending the two major publishing groups and ask him for a manuscript.
When the time comes, you will be able to break the predicament and soar to the sky!
It's late July, and it's less than a month before the world's largest doujin show, the comicmarket summer show, which takes place twice a year.
Qin Han knew that he needed to hurry up.
At this time, the system also issued a task to him.
"The main quest is released. ”
"I'm the man who wants to be the king of the doujin!"
"Mission goal: Within a year, the sales of the same book in comicmarket will reach more than 10,000 copies, and the top of the same world will be reached!"
"Reward: 50 Fame Points. ”
"Failure Punishment: Become a Little Bear who likes 'Bear'. ”
