039 Industry Gatherings
The status of "New Treasure Island" in the history of Dongying comics is the same as the status of "Compendium of Materia Medica" in traditional Chinese medicine.
Manga masters such as Hiroshi Fujimoto, Suo Yasuko (who shared the pen name Fujiko Fujio, author of Doraemon), Ryōshi Matsumoto, and Shotaro Ishimori were all inspired by Shin Treasure Island to devote themselves to this business.
"New Treasure Island" sold 400,000 copies as soon as it was released. In those days, this was almost an astronomical sales volume.
However, despite the great success of the manga, during the creation process, Osamu Tezuka and Nanama Sakai had a rift.
There was a huge difference in the creative philosophy of the two people, and Sakai Nanoma even arbitrarily deleted and changed Tezuka's drawings of Osamu Tezuka, which amounted to as many as 100 pages.
The worst thing is that when the first edition of "New Treasure Island" was delivered for printing, Sakai Nanama actually didn't sign Osamu Tezuka!
For creators, this is a violation of the most basic rights. Angry Osamu Tezuka approached the publisher to explain the situation, and only then did he add his name when the third edition of "Shin Treasure Island" was printed.
So, take a look at the author's signature on the cover of "New Treasure Island" to know which edition this comic book is.
Today, the third edition of the comic book "Shin Treasure Island" has been hyped up to 7 million yen in the collector's world. The first and second editions are even more valuable, and it is uncertain whether the complete version survives.
Qin Han searched on the Internet and knew the value of the "New Treasure Island" in his hand.
If he was an accomplished cartoonist by now, he might have treasured this comic.
But as a man with a debt of 20 million and a pragmatist, Qin Han now has only one question to consider: "How to sell this comic?"
However, this matter cannot be rushed, and can only be discussed in the long run. So Qin Han carefully put away the comic book and began to look at the other useful card he had drawn.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Five-Star Rainbow Card: Jian Hao Tianzhen Transmission Incense and Divine Dao Flow. ”
"Effect: You gain sword-level combat power (reference characters: Kitada Gukyo, Yagyu Soyan). ”
When he first drew this card, Qin Han was a little disappointed.
Although kendo sounds handsome, it is a bit out of place for this era.
Whoever has nothing to do with a katana walks down the street!
Uncle police is very embarrassed!
When it comes to pretending to be handsome, or the convenience of heroes saving beauty, it is obvious that Chinese martial arts is a better choice.
However, he was relieved to think that he had a wooden knife that could be summoned at any time.
And although the security of Dongying is good, maybe there will be another thing like Masami Nagasawa being attacked by a pervert. has a skill, and is more confident when encountering danger.
At the very least, this card is better than the weird items drawn before.
After using the card, Qin Han summoned Dongye Lake, waved it and practiced it a few times, and found that it was really different.
Ordinary people who have not received professional training, when they pick up cold weapons, can only use the "chaotic cloak knife method" without any rules, not only has no combat effectiveness, but also can easily injure themselves.
But now, when Qin Han held the wooden knife, he had a feeling like an arm, as if he was born for the sword.
It's like the state he gets into when he picks up a paintbrush.
"Well, if you want to draw kendo manga in the future, you don't need to go to those dojos to collect materials, you can just use yourself as a reference. Qin Han pursed his chin and nodded to himself with satisfaction.
The next day, Qin Han went to the hospital to remove the gauze on his hands. The injuries he suffered because he saved Masami Nagasawa were also completely healed.
This is probably the so-called "double happiness".
Qin Han was in a good mood and decided to treat a guest to celebrate and have a good meal.
But what I didn't expect was that the two girls, Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa, couldn't spare time because of the work of the office. And a few cartoonist friends are also very busy.
They have to work as assistants and prepare for Tezuka's submissions, so they are really inseparable.
After all, not everyone is like Qin Han, not only is he as productive as a sow, but he also has an elf pen to help.
In the end, Qin Han called Shunsuke Fujimoto.
He finally made an appointment for a dinner, not because he had a treat to celebrate, but because Shunsuke Fujimoto invited him to a party.
Qin Han thought about it, he didn't have anything important anyway, and he was about to get moldy at home every day, so he agreed to the other party's invitation.
The meeting place is at an old izakaya in Nakano Ward. It is run by three generations of grandparents and three women.
The proprietress in a kimono led him into a private room and found that a large group of people had already drunk hotly.
"Yo, Qin Sang, it's here!"
Shunsuke Fujimoto snorted wine and greeted Qin Han.
In addition to him, there is another person I know in the private room.,The chairman of the organizing committee of the CM Doujin Exhibition.,Yoshihiro Yonezawa.。 Qin Han and he had had coffee together a few times before under the recommendation of Shunsuke Fujimoto.
"Sorry, late. ”
"Whereever, sit down. ”
The person next to him moved out of the way and left a seat for Qin Han.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the old Qin teacher who has been super famous on the Internet recently, if you want to find him to sign it, you should do it as soon as possible. It will definitely appreciate in the future. ”
After a brief introduction, Qin Han learned that the people who attended the party included a bookseller who deals in animation books, the person in charge of the animation group of a TV station, a magazine company, and the staff of an animation production company, which is simply a big gathering in the industry.
After three rounds of drinking, Qin Han knew that Shunsuke Fujimoto had a wide range of friends, so he asked him, "Teng Ben-san, do you know any people in the comic book collecting industry?"
"What, I made money and want to buy my favorite rare comics?"
"On the contrary, I wanted to sell a comic. ”
"What comics?"
Qin Han took out his mobile phone and showed him the photos of the first version of "Treasure Island".
"Poof!" Shunsuke Fujimoto squirted out a sip of beer.
"Qin Sang, you won't be joking, lie to me with the PS picture. ”
"Of course not. This manga is right at home, and you can read it whenever you want. ”
Shunsuke Fujimoto's eyes widened, looked at the photo on his phone, and sighed, "I really don't know where you kid got this manga." Judging by the author's signature, it should be the first edition of "New Treasure Island", which is a priceless treasure in the market! If I have this comic, it must be displayed in a glass box, how can I sell it?"
"I'm short of money. ”
Shunsuke Fujimoto couldn't figure it out, Qin Han relied on the income of "Daily Assured Milk", and it was still okay to mix casually, so why would he sell such precious comics?
"You don't have a love for manga!" said Shunsuke Fujimoto, shaking his head and sighing.
Qin Han thought to himself, you are a businessman uncle who is covered in copper smell, and you are embarrassed to talk about "love" with me.
However, Shunsuke Fujimoto saw that Qin Han didn't seem to be joking, so he still promised him to help contact the buyer.
After negotiating this matter, Qin Han also put down a stone in his heart.
He was eating sushi leisurely when a slightly drunk man suddenly squeezed beside him.
"Old Qin people...... No, Teacher Qin Han, I have admired you for a long time, and I have long wanted to meet you!"
"You are?"
"My name is Umezu Taichen!"
