After listening to Qin Han's words, Suzuki suddenly remembered that not long ago, his daughter, who was in the third grade of elementary school, told him that she wanted to learn to play football. Koshiro Suzuki thought it strange at the time and asked her why she thought so. The daughter's childish answer is also very simple, but thought-provoking.

"Because it's cool to play football. ”

This made Suzuki Koshiro suddenly realize that it was no longer the time when little girls only liked Barbie dolls and princess dresses. As the editor-in-chief of "Flowers and Dreams", he has a clearer grasp of the changes in the tastes of the magazine's main readers, and there is no cartoonist who draws youth comics and juvenile comics. This made Suzuki feel a little ashamed.

"Teacher Qin Han, a conversation with you inspired me. I believe that Pretty Girl of Light is a very good manga, and it is even possible to achieve an achievement comparable to that of Sailor Moon. ”

After complimenting him, Suzuki changed his words: "But it is precisely because I see the potential of this manga that I am even more reluctant to make concessions in terms of peripheral sharing." ”

Suzuki's vast mind has already emerged a beautiful picture - when "Pretty Girl of Light" is a big success, its various peripheral products, from snacks to electric toys, will make countless little girls crazy.

The potential market is huge enough to make anyone tempted.

No one is stupid, what Qin Han can meet, others can also foresee.

"Teacher Qin Han, it's easy to negotiate royalties, and we can even give you another one or two percentage points of share. However, in terms of surrounding authorization, the White Springs Club must not completely give up!"

Although Suzuki Haofan's attitude is resolute, Qin Han will never give in.

He said: "Suzuki-san, since you have already told your bottom line, then I can also give you a thorough understanding." In terms of royalties, I can only take 8%, but the peripheral licensing must be all in my hands. Perhaps the White Springs Society has lost a large part of its income from the surrounding development, but as long as the single book sells well, it can still make a lot of money by relying on the 2% saved by each single book. This is better than the ending of your company completely missing out on "Beautiful Girl of Light", right?"

"Teacher Qin Han, what do you mean by this?" Suzuki Haofan's brows suddenly furrowed, "Do you want to regret that you are not serializing the manga in "Flowers and Dreams"?"

What he feared most in his heart, was it going to happen?

The agreement between the Baiquan Society and Qin Han was not bound by legally binding documents, and everything was only based on Qin Han's own promise.

Although if Qin Han repented and no longer serialized in Baiquan Society, his reputation would be affected to a certain extent, but the loss of Baiquan Society was obviously greater. That will be tens of billions of sales, billions of profits!

"If the White Springs Society is so uncompromising, although I will still fulfill my promise and serialize a manga in "Flowers and Dreams", it will not necessarily be "Beautiful Girl of Light". ”

To put it bluntly, Qin Han can take a comic casually to deal with the promise between him and Baiquan Society, and if he does it a little more absolutely, he can serialize more than a dozen issues, and it will end directly.

When the time comes, Baiquan Society will really want to cry without tears.

A cartoonist of the level of Qin and Han still holds a comic of the level of "The Beautiful Girl of Light" in his hand, and he is in a strong position in front of any publishing house.

After drinking the last bit of coffee in the cup, Qin Han packed up the sketch and stood up: "Suzuki-san, "Beautiful Girl of Light" is at least a national-level girl's comic with an average volume of 1.5 million, even if it is just selling a single book, it can make Baiquan Club make a lot of money. Aren't you satisfied?"

"Teacher Qin Han, do you really have the confidence to let "The Beautiful Girl of Light" sell for 1.5 million?"

The situation in the shoujo manga market is different from the shonen manga market and the youth manga market.

Compared with "Dragon Ball", "Fist of the Big Dipper" and other shonen manga that can sell an average of three or four million volumes casually, and monsters are frequent, shoujo manga that can sell 1.5 million is already qualified to squeeze into the top five positions in the historical sales list.

Even "Sailor Moon", which became popular last year, now has an average sales volume of just over one million. Moreover, its fame and peripheral sales will only grow explosively after it is animated, and it will truly become a national-level comic.

After all, for magical girl-themed comics, gorgeous costumes and gorgeous transformation processes are the top priorities. And animations with sound, light and color are far more expressive than comics in this regard.

Hearing Suzuki's words, Qin Han smiled and said, "Of course I have this confidence." If you still have doubts, Suzuki-san, you can pay attention to the next issue of the jump popularity ranking. ”

A few days later, when the second issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump" was released in November, Suzuki Haofan knew what Qin Han said when he left.

This issue of the magazine, with the cover and opening comics, is "Oolong Police Station", which has entered its 25th year since landing on Jump.

And the second serialization that followed was Qin Han's "Midfield Core"!

The Jump editorial department does not publish the results of the readers' popularity survey, but ordinary readers can still easily know the ranking.

Generally speaking, the cover of each issue of JUMP, as well as the opening serial, are either new works that have just appeared like the previous issue of "Midfield Core", or a certain manga has a commemorative event worthy of promotion - such as animation, cinema, anniversary, etc.

Because the opening serialization is often approved by the editorial department, the real reflection of the popularity vote is from the second manga on the catalog page.

"Dragon Ball" has been hovering between the second and third in the catalogue for a long time. So most readers know that in terms of real popularity, this comic deserves to be the first place.

And this time, "Dragon Ball" is ranked third in the jump catalog.

It's not like Dragon Ball hasn't been closed before. But once it is revived, the editorial department will put this comic in the second order of the catalog page, and its status can be seen.

But this time, even if Toriyama Ming recovers from his illness, he can only succumb to Qin and Han, ranking third!

Suzuki couldn't help but breathe hard when he thought about the possibilities behind this.

"Teacher Qin Han's "Dragon Sakura" created a miracle in the sales of youth comics, and after turning to drawing sports comics for teenagers, he immediately achieved such impressive results. In the future, the average sales of a single book of "Midfield Core" may be more than 2.5 million. Perhaps he said that the average volume sales of "Beautiful Girl of Light" are more than 1.5 million, which is not such a difficult thing to achieve...... His self-confidence is well-founded. ”
