Chapter 121: Dragon Ball
121
Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Shueisha.
Editor Torishima walked into the conference room, and found that except for the main seat, the seats were almost full, so he came to the familiar editor Hou Teng, sat down next to him, and asked softly, "What is this going to do?"
Hou Teng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, I was also suddenly notified." β
At this time, the door of the conference room opened, and Nishimura, the editor-in-chief of Weekly Shonen Jump, walked in first, then turned sideways and made a 'please' gesture, only to see the magazine's superior, Shueisha President Horiuchi, also walk in.
The two sat down in the main seat, and the editor-in-chief, Nishimura, coughed lightly, and did not talk nonsense: "Everyone, be quiet, I invite you to come over today, I want you to read a manga together."
After speaking, he nodded, and the two secretaries took out a stack of books and distributed them to the editors one by one. After a while, the distribution was completed, and each editor had four copies in front of them.
Torishima as the editor of a manga magazine,Usually the main job is to read comicsγReview comics,I've seen thousands of comics.,I didn't expect the editor-in-chief to gather everyone today.,It's for everyone to come together to see a comic.,What's even more exaggerated.,It's actually the president of Shueisha who came in person.,He's also seen some of the world.,But today's battle is the first time I've seen it.,I secretly think that the author of this comic must be not small.γ
He picked up the first one, only to see that the cover said "Dragon Ball", volume one, Monkey King and his friends.
"The painting is good. Bird Island secretly commented: "Monkey King, well, is it the story of Journey to the West?"
He looked up and down again, but did not see the author's name. Turn the first page:
'A long, long time ago, in a deep mountain thousands of kilometers away from the city, this whimsical story began...'
"There are monkeys, it should be Huaguo Mountain, right?"
'The first time, Bulma and Sun Wukong. β
Sun Wukong chops wood, catches fish, drags the big fish home, collides with the car of the girl Bulma on the way, and then takes Bulma home, Bulma finds the dragon ball of Son Goku's house.
These shimmering beads are called dragon balls, and there are seven of them, and they are characterized by one to seven stars in each ball. β
Legend has it that if you can collect all seven dragon balls and recite a spell... The dragon will appear and can help people fulfill any wish. However, only one wish can be granted at a time!'
"It's kind of interesting, Dragon Ball, collecting beads, it seems that the previous "Legend of the Eight Dogs" was also a similar setting. β
Bulma wants Son Goku's Dragon Ball, but Son Goku refuses.
'Aha, I see, you little devil!' Bulma lifted her skirt and cocked her ass: 'Well, let you touch it.' β
Monkey King: 'What's there to touch in a dirty ass?'
Poof! Torishima couldn't help but laugh, "It's kind of interesting." β
Bulma Sei couldn't be lured, so she instead abducted Son Goku to go with her in search of Dragon Balls.
"You're idle here anyway, so boys should go outside and see the world!"
'Okay, but I'm not going to give you this bead. β
'Okay, as long as you lend me one last time!'
The two set off, and Bulma showed off 'Dragon Ball Radar' and 'Magic Capsule' one after another.
"Futures technology? Kind of interesting. Torishima sighed in his heart again.
Next, Sun Wukong protects Bulma, defeats all kinds of evil villains along the way, and successively gets to know Oolong, Leping, Turtle Immortal, Bull Demon King and his daughter Kiki.
Due to the destruction of the bad guys, after Goku collected the Dragon Balls for the first time, he failed to fulfill his wish, and the Dragon Balls turned into stones and scattered in all directions, and it took a year before he could collect them again. During this period, Wukong worshiped under the Turtle Immortals to practice.
"It's a fun adventure route, and there are quite a lot of funny scenes, which should be popular with young readers. β
Torishima read it very quickly, and he had already turned to the third volume, and so far, he could conclude that this was a very good manga and should be able to achieve good results in the market.
When he saw the 31st episode, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey, the world's first martial arts club!"
'The world's No. 1 martial arts club adopts indiscriminate fighting to win or lose, and no weapons are allowed, and all rely on fists and feet to see the best. β
'When two sides fight each other on the jousting ring, those who fall, pass out, admit defeat or cry are counted as losing. The contestants compete one-on-one, step by step, until the champion and runner-up are decided. β
The more he watched, the more energetic he became: "Fighting in the ring and fighting for the first place, this is a bridge that has never appeared in previous comics." β
The competition system of the ring competition gave the players enough scenes to show their personalities, martial arts, and even inner activities.
The plot of the fourth volume ends in the final battle between Sun Wukong and the master's transformed Jianhui in the ring, and Torishima, who is looking at it, habitually wants to find a new one, and pulls it casually, but waves it empty, only to find that there are only four volumes in total, and he has read them all.
"You've read it. The voice of the editor-in-chief of Nishimura sounded at the right time: "Now let's talk about it, how about this manga?"
"Very wonderful. Bird Island's friend Hou Teng was the first to speak: "The humorous adventure in front and the bloody fighting in the back are all handled wonderfully, and the transition is very natural." β
Nishimura looked at Bird Island, he thought for a moment, and said: "The world's first martial arts meeting, which has never been seen before, I think, is the most exciting setting of this comic." β
"The storyboard is extremely smooth and natural. β
"There are a lot of jokes, which are hilarious, and the settings such as the Turtle School Qigong and the summoning of the dragon are also impressive. β
Other editors also spoke, and although the focus was different, they all had the same point: it was a wonderful manga that would be a great success in the market.
After listening to everyone's speeches, Nishimura asked President Horiuchi, who had been sitting there without saying a word, with a look in his eyes, and the latter nodded.
Nishimura said: "I have heard everyone's opinions, thank you, and the meeting is dismissed." β
Bird Island stood up with everyone, but the question in his heart was like a fish in his throat, and he didn't vomit or be unhappy: "Editor-in-chief, who is the author of this comic?"
The president, who had been silent, spoke, word by word: "Fang-Jian-Hui!"
"Huh!?" The editors who were packing up to go out were stunned.
The editors were gossiping: "Is it the Fang Jianhui who made the movie?" "Is it the brother of Nakamori Mingcai?" "Is it the movie star?"
"Yes, that's him. β
"Hum", the editing is like frying the pan.
"Quiet! Quiet! I know what you want to say, since the author is Mr. Fang, what else is there to review, even if he draws poorly, our magazine will publish it. The president said, "That's a good thing, I'm going to do it." However, the quality of the work will directly affect the degree of attention we pay and the intensity of publicity. β
"Now I know that this work is very good, and it deserves our greatest energy, the most resources, and all the efforts to promote it. Thank you!"
Bird Island and Hou Teng walked out of the conference room side by side, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "It's really capable of anything, I didn't expect that Mr. Fang is not only highly accomplished in movies and music, but can even draw comics so well!"

January 12, TBS Studio Hall.
The weekly "The Best Ten" program is underway, and the hosts Kume (male) and Kuroyanagi (female) are shouting, "'The Myth of Half'! The number one single for six consecutive weeks!"
Nakamori Mingcai appeared in a red strap dress, and the host shouted, "Welcome, welcome!"
Hostess: "I heard that famous dishes like the clothes of the 50s, and today we invited Mr. Takahashi, a fashion designer who is very popular among young people, to come to the scene, and Mr. Takahashi also brought clothes specially designed for famous dishes. β
Designer Takahashi appeared and bowed to each other with Nakamori Naina.
Hostess: "Mr. Takahashi, is it actually the first time you've seen a famous dish today?"
Takahashi: "Yes. β
"How do you feel about seeing me?"
"Very nice little girl. β
"Then, please change the outfit of the famous dish quickly!"
The famous dish walked into the fitting room, and the host: "Everyone is looking forward to what kind of combination will appear." Turning to Takahashi: "Mr. Takahashi, can you introduce any of the highlights of this costume?"
Takahashi: "Well, as the society has commented, it has a bad girlish feeling, and there is a little bit of uneasiness, which cleverly blends some elements together. β
Host: "Famous dish, are you dressed?"
Nakamori replied in the fitting room, "Right away." β
Host: "I heard that when it comes to clothing, famous dishes have always been very assertive. Each time, the designer prepares many outfits, and she chooses the clothes and outfits by herself. I wonder if today's outfit will fit after the famous dish is worn?"
Nakamori's famous dish: "Okay, okay!"
Host: "Dangdang, please see!"
The curtain in the fitting room was opened, and Nakamori Mingcai walked out with a black off-the-shoulder T-shirt on top and a long skirt on the bottom, still holding a comb in his hand, and combing his head twice from time to time.
Hostess: "How do you feel, after trying it on?"
Nakamori's famous dish: "It's very handsome." β
"Is this the first time you've worn this kind of clothes?"
"Well, yes, it's the first time I've worn this kind of clothes. β
The host asked Takahashi, "What do you think of it?"
Takahashi: "Well, that's a good fit for her. β
was ready to sing, but the comb in Nakamori's hand had not been put down, and the host smiled and quipped: "Do you want to sing with a comb?", and then said, "I'll keep it for you!"
Then, the host announced in a loud voice: "Please enjoy below, Akina-chan, who has been the first in six consecutive weeks and has just put on a new dress, will bring you "The Myth of One-Half"!"
In the sound of music, the singing voice of Nakamori's famous dishes sounded:
Silently reciting this secret, if I promise you, I will always return to that cold me.
The heart is gradually empty and cold, the attitude is contrary to the heart, and I dream of you again in my heart, which is really innocent.
'Dizzy, I sang the wrong word', Nakamori Mingcai on the stage smiled and continued to sing:
It's just half of it imitating adults, and the rest of it is pure as ever.
...
After singing, Nakamori walked off the stage and came to the host.
Host: "Did Mingcai-chan sing the wrong lyrics?"
Nakamori Naina smiled: "Well, it's a mistake to sing, this stage is a bit high, and I won't be able to sing when I stand on a high place." β
Host: "Well, then we'll pay attention next time." β

"Famous dish!"
Nakamori got off the elevator and came to the lobby on the first floor of TBS, and was about to go out when she heard someone calling from behind. She turned around and saw that it was Teng Mahiko.
"Near Teng-kun!" Nakamori Nakana stopped.
Jinteng Zhenyan was wearing a neat suit, his hair was combed and shiny, and he trotted all the way to her: "Famous vegetable sauce, is this going home?"
"What's wrong?"
"There's a new French restaurant in Chiyoda, and I've heard it's very good, so I want to invite famous dishes to have a meal with me. β
Nakamori smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today." β
"Why? Is it arranged?"
"Yes, Mr. Horiuchi, the president of Shueisha, asked me to discuss something, and I agreed. β
Shueisha is one of Japan's leading comprehensive publishing groups, and its president has a tremendous influence in Japanese society, has Nakamori Famous Cuisine reached the realm of arguing with people of this level? Suddenly, Jinteng Masahiko felt a little discouraged, but after thinking about it, wouldn't it be even more accomplished if he could catch up with such a famous Nakamori dish!
"It's inconvenient today, so what about tomorrow? Can we have dinner together tomorrow?"
"I'm afraid not tomorrow. Nakamori said lightly: "President Tanaka of Toho Pictures, he will come to me tomorrow afternoon, and I don't know how long it will take, so I can't promise you." β
Although the president of Shueisha has a very high realm, his field has no intersection with Konteng, and his feelings are not deep, but the president of Toho Pictures! This is the top figure in the Japanese entertainment industry, and he is an idol singer who wants to climb high!
Such a character actually took the initiative to find Nakamori's famous dish, and she didn't even think there was anything special, which made Kin Teng feel powerless for a while.
Is the gap with her already so big? With his last hope, Jin Teng asked, "What about the day after tomorrow?"
"Oh the day after tomorrow, my brother may come to Japan the day after tomorrow. Nakamori Naina smiled and said in a gentle tone: "You know, if my brother comes to Japan, I will definitely accompany my brother." β
Teng Zhenyan endured it and didn't ask, you are stupid, Mr. Fang will definitely not stay for just one day when he comes to Japan, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, people must also accompany his brother, isn't it boring to ask it?
He tried to maintain his demeanor: "Then I'll wait for the famous dish to be available, and I'll invite it again." Anyway, as long as it's convenient for you, I'm always available. Before I knew it, I was already using honorifics.
"Well, thank you, Jun Teng. β
Nakamori turned around, and the three women she was traveling with followed.
When he walked to the door, Nakamori Nakana waved his hand at him: "Goodbye Teng-kun." β
I saw Nakamori Mingcai walk out of the door, and together with the assistants, he got straight into a stretched limousine waiting in front of the door, and walked away, near Teng Zhenyan waved his hand, and said in his mouth: "Goodbye to famous dishes." I don't know if she heard it.
