Tokyo Daily Headquarters. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

President Sakai roared at a group of subordinates in the conference room: "What are you doing in the planning department? Our Tokyo Daily has been the No. 1 newspaper seller in the country for 10 years! Now that it has been surpassed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Evening News, have you ever wondered why the other party has surpassed us all of a sudden?"

"President, our sales have hardly changed. It's the other party's sales that have increased. So it's not that the popularity of our newspaper has become less popular, it's that the popularity of the other party has increased. "Humanity in the Planning Department.

"Then why are they the number one in sales?" Sakai said angrily.

"I investigated, and the other party turned the entertainment section into a comic book section. Their manga serial, Spirited Away, was very popular with readers. That's what led to a third-of-the-third increase in their sales!" one supervisor exclaimed.

"And since they make comics, how about we do it too?" one manager asked.

"No, no. A few days ago, several peer newspapers began to follow suit, but instead of increasing sales, sales declined. The reason, I guess, is that the other party's comics have made some readers abandon them. ”

"What the hell is going on here?"

"I think the Tokyo Metropolitan Evening News is successful because of their manga Spirited Away. Now the evaluation from the outside world has been very enthusiastic. It is said that this comic is very novel, the story is very strong, and the audience is not only children, but teenagers, teenagers and young adults! ”

"In other words, the other party relies on the author of the comic?"

"Hmm!"

"Find this person named Miyamoto Tamako immediately, we must dig it up at a high price! Even if the current "Spirited Away" can't be grabbed, then buy out her next work!" Sakata clenched his fists and said loudly.

"Yes!"

At this time, not only the Tokyo Daily newspaper was looking for Miyamoto Tamako, but many publishing houses wanted to find her after seeing that "Spirited Away" became popular. Find her and you'll be able to publish. Newspapers are so popular now, and if they are published, they will be sold until they have cramps.

For these, neither Shuichi Minamino nor Tamako Miyamoto knows.

On the ninth day, Shuichi Minamino took his two daughters to the Tokyo Metropolitan Evening News.

As soon as they came in, they immediately alarmed the entire newspaper office, and those people looked at Nanno Shuichi and the three of them with unusually respect.

"Ouch, it turns out that three of them are here, please inside, please inside. "After they came, Kudo, the old thing, came out in person and greeted them respectfully. A comic book increased his newspaper subscription by one-third, and he directly killed the newspaper boss Tokyo Daily to become the number one player. Can he be disrespectful?

After sitting down in the reception room, Kudo whispered to Chiba Yi beside him: "What are you doing here, why don't you hurry up and buy three cups of coffee?" By the way, you have to go to the coffee shop three kilometers away to buy it, the other coffee is too rubbish, I'm afraid Miss Iloti won't be used to it." ”

"I ......" Chiba Yi felt that she had become an errand runner in a dignified supervisor.

"I'm something, I'm not going to hurry up. ”

"Yes. Chiba Yi could only pout and go out.

Now the three of Minamino Shuichi and the others are his God of Wealth, so he smiled and said, "Miss Miyamoto, I don't know how many sketches you still have on hand?" Now that he has 9 issues in a row, he is of course anxious when he sees that there are still 6 issues in stock.

"I don't have it on hand~" Miyamoto Tamako said.

"Kudo, I ask you. How has Spirited Away reacted in the past week or so?" asked Shuichi Minamino lightly.

"Good, very good, very good response! This cartoon is recognized and loved by the majority of consumers. By the way, the gang of manga artists in the Tokyo area praised this as an epoch-making work. They all want to meet you, Miss Miyamoto. Kudo laughed.

"Oh, that's good. "Minamino Shu nodded a little bit, and the mood swings were not very big. It's about the same as he guessed. As long as the exposure rate is large enough, this kind of cross-era comic will not be sparked.

That's why he chose to serialize in the newspaper before!

Because these days, newspapers are definitely one of the largest advertising exposure channels. This is especially true for a powerful newspaper like Tokyo Metropolitan Japan. It seems that the response is very good now. I believe that Yuzi also has a lot of fans.

"Really, that's great!" Miyamoto Tamako said. Even Iloti was very happy, and felt that the five thousand dollars she had thrown away was worth it.

How much is the first $5,000 worth of the year?

Nanno Shuichi knew that in his previous life, his grandfather's and father's generation, when he was in junior high school in the eighties, a penny was a day's food expenses! A penny of RMB, you can imagine how valuable the money was at that time. Where is it like the rapid depreciation now! Like now, in five or so years, it is really not boastful that a dollar can buy a gram of gold.

After hearing that the other party said that there was no more sketches, Kudo became a little worried. What will happen after a week without the sketch? Now the copyright of "Spirited Away" has not been sold to him, it is all in the hands of Yuzi.

Now that his evening newspaper is so popular, I guess his peers know the reason. When the time comes, if someone poaches Miyamoto Tamako, then the matter will be a big deal. Another one is that Tamako Miyamoto is now famous. Then her next work must be very popular as well. He believes that as long as Miyamoto Tamako's manga has been serialized, his urban evening newspaper will definitely maintain the number one sales list!

So Kudo's heart began to spin.

"That, Miss Miyamoto. I wonder if your next "Spirited Away" will continue to be serialized in our newspaper? By the way, I don't want the 5,000 dollars that Iloti gave me that day. I hope that Miss Miyamoto will sign a contract to become a long-term manga artist for our newspaper. I don't know if it's okay?" Kudo said, gritting his teeth. Although that $5,000 is a lot. But for the sake of long-term interests, he thinks that keeping Miyamoto Tamako is the king.

After hearing this, Tamako Miyamoto looked at Shuichi Minamino. She can't do this thing, but she still hopes that Shuichi Minamino will have an idea.

"Oh~" Shuichi Minamino was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Kudo, an old man, to be so willing to even spit out five thousand dollars to sign Tamako Miyamoto as a resident manga artist.

This old man is a long-term old fox! 5,000 dollars is 1.8 million yen.

However, such a person is very fond of Shuichi Minamino, which proves that this kind of person is not a person who is greedy for money, not a person who only looks at immediate interests, and this kind of person is also a person who talks about credit. It's still a good choice to work with this kind of person.

Anyway, "Spirited Away" is also going to continue to be serialized, and you can put it there to be serialized. Besides, the Tokyo City Evening News is also very strong at the moment.

"Mr. Minamino, my sincerity is enough, right?" Kudo said cautiously. He was actually panicking, he was gambling.

"Yes, yes, but after Tamako becomes the resident cartoonist of your newspaper, "Spirited Away" can continue to be serialized in your newspaper until the end. Even the next work can be serialized in your newspaper. However, the copyright must belong to us. In the future, if the comics are published or made into TV movies, it will have nothing to do with you. "Minamino Shuichi. As long as the other party agrees to this, there is nothing wrong with that. What he wants is full copyright, and the newspaper serialization here is just a platform. Copyright or anything is none of your business.

"Yes, as long as Miss Miyamoto's "Spirited Away" and the next work are serialized in our newspaper for the first time. "Kudo Road.

"Okay, it's a word, you can sign the contract immediately. Minamino said with a smile.

The contract was signed half an hour later, and Kudo gave Miyamoto Tamako about 1,000 yen for this "Spirited Away". The price is definitely not low. In those days, many manga manuscripts cost only a few hundred yen, and at most they cost 2,000 yen. But now she's 1,000 yen for a word.

In fact, this money is nothing, and when Minamino Shuyi looks at it, it will be a big deal in the publishing fee and film and television rights fee in the future! Of course, it's too early to say that.

Comics, he still thinks it's fun, and he can't make much money at the moment. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to wait for more than ten years before the anime enters the mature period.

After everything was done, Chiba Yi finally got the coffee back.

Drinking coffee, Kudo flattered: "That's the case, since Miss Miyamoto is now the resident manga artist of our newspaper, can we get a news interview with Miss Miyamoto?"

"Yes, of course. This is a good opportunity to continue to drive the buzz. "Shuichi Minamino agreed directly for Tamako.

Soon the interview began, directly in the reception room, and as for the reporter's photography or something, it was directly the reporter and photographer of this newspaper.

At the beginning, I wanted to know in detail about Miyamoto Tamako's details, family situation, educational background, etc.

The next step was to ask her when she studied manga, when she started writing Spirited Away, and where she got her inspiration.

In addition to these, I also asked questions about epoch-making comics and other things about outside evaluations.

These things Miyamoto Tamako said truthfully.

When she said that the story of "Spirited Away" was told to her by Shuichi Minamino, everyone on the scene was stunned, and then they all respected Shuichi Minamino.

Finally, Minamino Shuichi said, "Okay, I'll say a few last words, you must record them and put them on the news." "Spirited Away" is an epoch-making new work, it is innovative, and it has cross-era significance! Its painting style, storytelling, and reading have all broken the tradition. I'm going to use Spirited Away to tell the world. Manga is not a childish children's book. It is artistic. It's for people of all ages, like film, television, poetry, literature. It's not just for children, it's not a childish work! Today, I'm going to make a name for myself and for comics. The new era of comics will start with me and rise from me!"

After Shuichi Minamino finished speaking, the conference room burst into loud applause.

Of course, this passage was said by him on behalf of Miyamoto Tamako. Anyway, the news released at that time will not be about what he said, it must be about Miyamoto Tamako.
