055 Don't agree with the soil and sit down
"Yes, deputy editor-in-chief. Tadao Kojima replied honestly.
Hearing his words, Ryoko Endo's eyes widened, and her voice suddenly became sharp: "Don't you know that guy used to be an exclusive manga artist for JUMP, and he also gave us more than one draft of Tansha's "Weekly Shonen Magazine?"
"Of course I know, but I heard that Shueisha has reached a settlement with Teacher Qin Han......"
"Shueisha is Shueisha, do we have to look at Shueisha's face and act?"
"Uh......"
Tadao Kojima was speechless.
He didn't know what was going on with Ryoko Endo today, and suddenly started targeting a manga artist he had never met.
Could it be that the spirit is possessed?
In the case of the Qin and Han dynasties, Kodansha also bore the responsibility for not strictly reviewing the multiple drafts. The editor in question has also disappeared a long time ago, and I don't know where he has gone.
Now that the matter between Shueisha and Mr. Qin Han has been resolved, there is no need for Kodansha to hold on to it.
Otherwise, the editor-in-chief would not agree to ask Mr. Qin Han for a manuscript.
Tadao Kojima still wanted to argue: "But ......"
"But what? If you mess around again, believe it or not, I'll report the matter to the board of directors, and when the time comes, I'm afraid you won't be able to save your job!"
“……”
Seeing Tadao Kojima's speechless appearance, Ryoko Endo was very happy.
Yesterday, when I returned home from the police station, I hated my daughter when she thought that although she would not go to prison, she would have to be punished for judicial protection. My daughter couldn't stay in school anymore and had to change schools. And academics will definitely suffer. For Ryoko Endo, who was bent on thinking that her daughter could be admitted to a prestigious university, this was undoubtedly a huge blow.
She didn't reflect on whether something was wrong with her education, and only blamed the man who provided the evidence of the recording for ruining her daughter's future.
Ryoko Endo was in the police station, knocking on the side and knowing Qin Han's name. When I inquired after returning home, I found out that the other party was actually a cartoonist, and he had been banned by Shueisha.
After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Ryoko Endo was ready to use her and her husband's connections in the publishing industry to see if she could take revenge on Qin Han.
Who knew that things were so coincidental that "Weekly Morning" actually wanted to ask Qin Han for a manuscript.
Since this matter has been discovered by her, of course, it cannot be ignored.
Tadao Kojima is very unaccustomed to Ryoko Endo's style of disregarding the interests of the magazine and acting only according to his personal likes and dislikes.
Although the comic industry is developing rapidly, the competition is also fierce. "Weekly Morning" is a leader in the field of youth comic magazines, but it is not invincible, and it has only just sold one million and touched the threshold of best-selling magazines.
If you don't pay attention to it, sales will drop by a million, and without the halo of a "best-selling magazine", not only will the magazine's reputation be affected, but advertising revenue will also decline.
If an excellent cartoonist can't keep himself and runs to other magazines, then sales will definitely be affected.
To be more personal, the year-end bonus will also shrink.
Tadao Kojima decides to reason with Ryoko Endo again. After all, he believed that reason was on his side.
Just then, the editor-in-chief of Morning Magazine walked out of his office.
"I heard a lot of noise inside, what the hell is going on?"
"That's right, editor-in-chief ......," Tadao Kojima recounted the ins and outs of the matter.
"I see, I see. The editor-in-chief said to Ryoko Endo, "Endo-san, inviting Mr. Qin Han is also for the development of the magazine, and the past is better to let it pass." ”
Even if he is the editor-in-chief, in the face of Ryoko Endo, who has a backstage, he can only speak in a consultative tone.
"I can't allow it!" Ryoko Endo's voice rose a few degrees more, piercing people's eardrums.
However, after showing a tough and unyielding posture, Ryoko Endo rolled her eyes and said, "Since it is the editor-in-chief's decision, then I can consider limited concessions." After all, he had never published his work in any business magazine, and he did not have convincing results, so the manuscript fee could only be based on the standard of newcomers. ”
"That's right, but Mr. Qin Han is not an ordinary newcomer, he has already proven his strength, and if we offer newcomer treatment, I'm afraid we will be snatched away by other magazines......"
"Qin Han is not Toriyama Ming. Weekly Morning has never had a shortage of cartoonists!"
"But ......"
Tadao Kojima still wanted to argue, but was pulled by the editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief made a look, signaled Tadao Kojima not to speak, and then said to Ryoko Endo: "Endo-san is reasonable, if the treatment is too good, and as a result, Mr. Qin Han does not make any achievements, the publisher will lose money." That's it. ”
"Hmm. Ryoko Endo nodded and walked away with her head held high.
"Editor-in-chief, why are you stopping me?"
"Endo, this woman is narrow-minded, if you continue to fight and be hated by her, you may be fired in a few months. ”
Tadao Kojima gasped, remembering the notoriety of Ryoko Endo, and secretly said that his brain was a little hot just now.
"Besides, since Ryoko Endo is so hostile to Teacher Qin Han, even if we invite him, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, maybe there will be some trouble. ”
Tadao Kojima nodded, feeling panicked: "Editor-in-chief, you said that you want to make a good manga magazine, why is it so difficult?"
The editor-in-chief patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry." Although I don't have much talent, I will try my best to create a pure land of comics for you editors who have ideas and abilities. Some people think that their husbands are directors of the club and can do whatever they want...... I don't know if she can be arrogant when her backer falls!"
Tadao Kojima noticed that the editor-in-chief's eyes seemed to suddenly bloom with a sharp man.
"Inform Teacher Qin Han as soon as possible, you can't let him wait in vain. I believe that even if he goes to other magazines, he will be able to create excellent work. ”
Tadao Kojima nodded, his heart sour and astringent. He hesitated for a long time before calling Qin Han the next day.
…………
After Qin Han and the editor of "young_animal" separated, he returned home and began to draw a draft storyboard for the first episode of "Dragon Sakura".
After a busy night, for the sake of health, he didn't stay up late and went to bed on time before twelve o'clock.
The next morning, Qin Han had breakfast and was washing the dishes when the doorbell rang.
He glanced at the video walkie-talkie and found that the visitor was the female editor of the Baiquan Society who was in a hurry yesterday, Xiong Zexin.
Beside her, there was also a tall and thin middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes.
"What kind of fuss is this? Didn't we just meet yesterday?"
After Qin Han opened the door, they greeted each other, only to know that the middle-aged man was actually Hetian, the editor-in-chief of "young_animal".
He led the two of them from the entrance to the living room, and was about to prepare tea, who knew that the two of them knelt down with a plop, bowed down, and said to Qin Han: "Teacher Qin Han, please come to "young_animal" to publish comics, this is our life's request!"
Qin Han was shocked.
If you don't agree with this, you will sit down, what's going on?
