306 is not optimistic
If Qin Han's fans are just cheering for him to be able to show his talent on a bigger platform, all industry insiders, especially the media and critics, have a much more complicated mind about the cooperation between Qin Han and "Weekly Youth Jump".
Some critics believe that although Qin Han has proven his strength in the field of youth comics, it is still unknown whether he will adapt to the fierce competitive environment and stand out after going to "Weekly Shonen Jump".
After all, the field of juvenile manga and the field of youth manga are two completely different worlds.
After becoming a famous cartoonist gives up the subject matter he is good at and turns to other types of comics, there are too many lessons to learn from the past.
Moreover, it is also unknown whether Qin Han will go from "Young Animal", which has a more relaxed atmosphere, to "Weekly Shonen Jump", which is based on reader survey rankings and takes popularity as the only criterion for judging comics.
Some anime media outlets who are not optimistic about Qin and Han wrote: "Although the contract between Shueisha and Qin Han is a trade secret, we have no way of knowing the specific terms. However, "Weekly Shonen Jump" can defeat the other two major juvenile comic magazines in this 'battle between Qin and Han', and it must have offered very favorable conditions. In case Qin Han's new manga fails, I don't know how Shueisha, who has paid a huge price to poach people, will feel......"
These cool words reached Qin Han's ears, and he laughed at them and ignored them.
As an open-minded traverser, if he has to hit the street, it can only be described with a sentence of "shame, quit the group".
The comic "Midfield Core" he conceived is original in the backbone, but in some plots and details, it will also draw on some classics of the past life that did not appear in this world.
For example, "Slam Dunk" or "Soccer Player".
This can be said to be feelings, a way for travelers to remember the world to which they originally belonged.
Of course, it can also be understood as opportunistic.
Qin Han believes that this comic, which combines the essence of excellent works in his previous life, as well as his own painstaking efforts, will definitely be successful.
Compared with the media that used all kinds of exaggerated language and arguments to attract attention, the other two magazines that missed out on Qin and Han have a different internal situation.
In the editorial office of "Weekly Shonen Magazine", the editors who got the news that Qin Han officially joined "Weekly Shonen Jump" gathered in the smoking room to chat about related topics after work.
"I really don't understand it. If Mr. Qin Han wants to create sports cartoons, it is obviously the most suitable place to come to us. "Weekly Shonen Jump" is the base camp of royal road shonen manga, and "Weekly Shonen Sunday" has the mountain of Andatsu. Only our "Weekly Shonen Magazine" has both the soil suitable for sports comics, and there is no strong competitor for Mr. Qin Han. β
"I heard from an acquaintance that after seeing the name of Mr. Qin Han's new work, Mr. Hojo asserted: This manga can add a million sales to Jump! If what he said is true, with "Kanedaichi Boy's Incident Book" and Mr. Qin Han's manga, these two carriages will definitely be able to pull our magazine forward at a high speed, leaving the other two far behind. β
"I heard that the high-level mainly thinks that cartoonists like Mr. Qin Han are not very peaceful, and it is easy to get into trouble when they come to Kodansha......
"This is complete nonsense! In the previous blockade incident, Mr. Qin Han had already reached a reconciliation with Shueisha. As for the urban legend that 'if you provoke Teacher Qin Han, you will be unlucky', it is not worth believing. Isn't it good that Teacher Qin Han serialized "Dragon Sakura" in "Young Animal" this year?"
"Alas, it seems that the great success of Kanedaichi last year has made the leadership complacent and has lost the ambition to continue to forge ahead. β
While the editors of "Weekly Shonen Magazine" complained that the top management was not strong enough to poach people, the editorial department of "Weekly Shonen Sunday" was not greatly affected.
Because they just got Detective Conan.
A group of editors, represented by deputy editor-in-chief Isamu Konishi, did not think that this cooperation would have a good result after seeing the news of the official signing of the contract between Shueisha and Qin Han.
"Since Mr. Qin Han chose Jump, it means that the conditions offered by Shueisha are better than those of our elementary school hall. And the conditions we gave to Teacher Qin Han at the beginning were already too generous! Shueisha still needs to increase the code, is this a broken brain?"
"It took a huge price to dig up Mr. Qin Han, and Jump's expectations for this cartoonist must be very high. At that time, if Mr. Qin Han's new manga does not meet the expectations of Shueisha's top management, then there will be a good show to watch, haha!"
"In the style of the Jump editorial department, I treat comics that don't have satisfactory results, but I don't show mercy. Take a look at Mr. Masami Sadada, how was "Saint Seiya" at the beginning, but as a result, after the decline in grades now, there are already rumors that if the decline cannot be reversed, it will be cut in half. Or send it to the end of a monthly magazine that sells a lot less. β
"Jump's set is really cruel. In contrast, we still give the author a more relaxed and free-flowing creative environment, which is better. Otherwise, how could Mr. Aoyama Gosho come up with such a brilliant idea as "Detective Conan"?"
"After "Detective Conan" starts to be serialized, there will be a good show to watch. If Qin Han's new work fails, then next year will be the best time for our "Weekly Shonen Sunday" to regain the throne of Dongying Shonen Manga Magazine!"
Of course, the editor-in-chief Koichiro Inomata has also heard about the discussions of the editors under his command.
This time, he failed in the confrontation with the deputy editor-in-chief Isamu Konishi. However, despite the disagreement, Koichiro Inomata does not think that the other party is unreasonable.
It's just that he still regrets losing to "Weekly Boy Jump" and failing to recruit Teacher Qin Han to "Weekly Boy Sunday".
Looking at Isamu Konishi, who was smug and laughing with his colleagues, Koichiro Inomata sat quietly at his desk by himself, thinking: "This guy Konishi is very ambitious, and he has long been aiming for my position as editor-in-chief, and he thinks I don't know? However, he thinks that he has the capital to squeeze me out by discovering the two comics "Baseball Heroes" and "Detective Conan"? It's too naΓ―ve! Kazuhiko Torishima can become the editor-in-chief of "Weekly Shonen Jump" not only because he discovered Akira Toriyama. Laugh at Shueisha's decision to spend a lot of money to poach Teacher Qin Han? Don't be optimistic about Teacher Qin Han's new comics? Hmph, in another month or two, time will prove who is right!"
