"Konishi, now that we are discussing the matter of Teacher Qin Han, what are you mentioning Teacher Aoyama for?" said Koichiro Inomata with a frown.

Yumin Guangwu waved his hand: "It's okay, let Xiaoxi tell me what's going on first." If we can come up with another work of sufficient weight in "Weekly Teenager Sunday", then it will not be so urgent to recruit Teacher Qin Han, and there is no need to pay too much price. ”

Isamu Konishi nodded and continued the topic just now: "Everyone knows that the reason why "Weekly Shonen Magazine" was able to achieve great success last year was that they unearthed "Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book". This comic led the detective reasoning genre of this juvenile comic, and there were countless followers for a while. But there is not a single one who succeeds. Is it because the success of "The Incident of Kanedaichi Teenager" is unique and unsurpassable? Of course not. The reason is only that there is a lack of powerful cartoonists to follow up and create the same type of comics. ”

"Unlike Weekly Shonen Jump, which highlights the three elements of friendship, hard work, and victory, our manga of Weekly Shonen Sunday is richer in genre. "Kanedaichi Shonen Incident Book" has proven that mystery comics have a huge market demand. After all, we Dongying people love reasoning, otherwise why would the reasoning category occupy such a large market share among the books published every year? Since there is a market demand, why should we bother to bother with the success of "Weekly Shonen Magazine"? Why not create our own juvenile mystery comics, which can not only seize the "Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book", but also make the magazine's comics more diverse?

Listening to Konishi's eloquent conversation, Yumin Mitsutake asked, "You mean, Aoyama Gosho's new work is also a mystery comic?"

"That's right. ”

"However, can it compete with "Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book"?"

"If you've seen Aoyama-sensei's new production, you won't have this question. Isamu Konishi said confidently, ""Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book" is just an original work that can't be used as a screenwriter for a TV series, and a newcomer cartoonist who has just debuted. Mr. Aoyama has already serialized two novels in our magazine, "Magic Fight" and "City Storm", and "City Storm" has also won the Shogakukan Manga Award. He may not be the top cartoonist, but he is definitely a powerful person to be reckoned with!"

Yumin Mitsutake was moved by Isamu Konishi's words. Several other senior executives of the primary school hall also nodded.

Even Koichiro Inomata, who had different ideas from Isamu Konishi on this matter, did not explicitly oppose it. If Aoyama Gosho can really bring a popular manga comparable to "Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book" to "Weekly Shonen Sunday", then they don't need to be so eager when negotiating with Qin Han, and they can be more calm.

"That's all for today's meeting. Early tomorrow morning, Konishi, you bring Mr. Aoyama's new manuscript, Inomata-san, and you call all the leaders of several editing teams. Let's meet again to study Aoyama's new work. Let's see if it's really as Konishi said, and be able to become the Kanedaichi of our Elementary School Hall. Yumin Guangwu finally clapped his head.

Finally, at the end of the meeting, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Konishi, has the name of Mr. Aoyama's new manga been decided?"

"It's settled. It's called "Detective Conan". The name of the main character, inspired by the author of Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle. ”

At nine o'clock the next morning, the bigwigs of the editorial department of Weekly Shonen Sunday, as well as Vice President Mitsutake Yumin, gathered again in the conference room.

One by one, they took the sketches handed by Isamu Konishi and began to read them carefully.

Half an hour later, Koichiro Inomata let out a sigh of relief and put down the sketch in his hand.

Seeing the expressions of the editors who finished reading the drawings, Isamu Konishi knew that he could definitely achieve his goal. He smiled smugly: "How's it going, guys, how is Detective Conan?"

"Very original setting. Although the protagonist Shinichi Kudo is similar to Kanedaichi, he is also a so-called 'high school student detective', but after being attacked by a mysterious person, his body shrinks and becomes an elementary school student. In this way, there is a clear difference from "Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book". ”

"The various magical props in the comics make the whole story readable and interesting, and also go to the next level. Moreover, elementary school students must use the mouths of adults to solve cases, which is also a highlight. On the outside, he is a harmless elementary school student, but on the inside, he is a detective with a superhuman IQ...... Such a setting can easily lead to dramatic conflicts. There is a saying in Huaxia that is called? By the way, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger! This word is very suitable to describe Conan's case-handling process. ”

"Don't you think that the mysterious man in black and the huge criminal organization hidden behind the scenes are the stroke of genius? In this way, the comic has a thread that runs throughout: defeat the mysterious organization, find the antidote, and turn back into a high school student. Reasoning works often unfold the plot in the form of unit dramas, and if the length is extended, people will gradually lose the desire to read it. If there is a clear main line, it will be much more attractive to readers. ”

The editors expressed their opinions and praised "Detective Conan" fiercely.

Even if you are a professional editor, it is impossible to accurately predict whether a comic will succeed or not, and everyone has a time when they look away. However, if everyone here praises this comic, then the possibility of its big sale is very high.

After some discussion, Vice President Yumin Mitsutake finally made a decision: "At the next serialization meeting, you will decide which manga should be cut in half on the current "Weekly Shonen Sunday". As for Mr. Qin Han, of course, we should continue to strive for him to come to "Weekly Junior Sunday." However, the conditions can not be raised any longer, so we will talk about the current royalty of 12% and the surrounding area of 5%. ”

As the editor-in-chief, Koichiro Inomata was a little unwilling to this result, but he couldn't find a reason to oppose it, so he could only nod and agree.

"I hope Weekly Shonen Jump doesn't offer too good conditions. In this way, there is still hope for Teacher Qin Han to come to the primary school hall......" he thought.

Compared to Koichiro Inomata, who was a little frustrated in his heart, Isamu Konishi, who won a big victory in this game, wore a high-spirited smile all day long.

Immediately after the meeting, Konishi called Aoyama and told him the good news.

On the other end of the phone, Aoyama Gangchang, who had just turned 30 and began to fight against Xie Ding, suddenly shouted excitedly after listening to Xiao Xiyong's words.
