Chapter Ninety-Nine: The End of Summer (Part II)

Although the focus of Miyahara Shizu's work throughout the summer seems to be on promoting PV, in fact, this matter does not occupy much of his time and energy, as a manga artist, or a prolific manga artist, the work that spends the most of his time every day is still drawing original manuscripts.

At the end of August, because the new semester is about to start, Jun Miyahara, who stayed in the United States to accompany her father to heal, finally returned, in fact, she has only been in the United States for more than half a month.

As for Yuichi Miyahara, because of the previous research on his condition in the United States, he arrived in the United States, and after a series of physical examinations, the operation was carried out immediately, which can be compared to a quick knife to cut through the mess...... As far as the results are concerned, the surgery went smoothly and there were basically no hidden dangers.

Of course, in order to prevent recurrence, Yuichi Miyahara should and must enter the pension mode in advance.

Just a few days after the surgery, he was still recovering in the United States in early September and is expected to return to Japan in three to four months.

There is also Fujiwara Kyosuke, who accepted Miyahara Shizu's "secret" mission, he once again completed his job as expected, although he still does not understand what Miyahara Shizu's intentions are, but I believe that by next year he will know what an amazing return on investment Miyahara Shizu's deal will bring.

At the beginning of the new semester in September, as a member of the homecoming department with excellent grades, Miyahara Shizu's campus life is as always, and nothing special needs to be explained, as for Shinohara Natsuki, maybe it's because Miyahara Shizune quit the kendo club, or maybe it's because the strength and grades of the kendo department of Kawasumi Middle School haven't improved, and she also looks a little enterprising in club activities.

After the hibiscus society entered the national sales mode, Simari's sales have been continuously and steadily increasing, at this time the attractiveness of high-quality works is reflected, basically the sales of each issue will increase more or less, by December, its sales have approached 200,000 copies, and according to the trend of its sales, there is no problem at all to reach 250,000 to 300,000 copies in a quarter.

The major event of the September Hibiscus Society can be said to be the release of the second volume of Heaven's Kiss, and the sales situation can be described as unprecedentedly hot, with the first printing of 300,000 copies sold out almost in two days, the second printing of 300,000 copies, and the third printing of 200,000 copies, so that within two weeks, the second volume of Heaven's Kiss almost won the sales of 800,000 copies, and its sales have just doubled compared with the release of the first volume.

In the face of this hot situation, Hibiscus has stepped up to reprint the first volume of Heaven's Kiss, mainly to other parts of the country outside the Tokyo metropolitan area, and 100,000 copies were sold without much effort.

Because this is the first time that the Hibiscus Society has sold a single book since May, they originally attached great importance to it, but they didn't expect to encounter such a good start, and the Hibiscus Society has finally been transferred since it began to be unlucky, and the kiss of heaven is a standard big sell, and Ai Yazawa once again proved her worth.

At this point, the shadow of Koyama Takamasa's resignation and the loss of the girls' high school has completely disappeared.

At the end of October, OHS finally made the cat soup after a lot of hard work, and Miyahara Jing took a look, and it was not weaker than the original animation in terms of graphic expression, so OHS passed the short animation preliminary selection of the Media Arts Festival of the Agency for Cultural Affairs without suspense, and entered the final selection stage.

After the completion of the cat soup, the focus of OHS's work completely shifted to the production of PV commissioned by Hibiscus Society, because of the relationship between supervision, their enthusiasm was quite high, and they completed the work in less than December, and Miyahara Shizun was quite satisfied with both the picture and the music when it was accepted.

Although Miyahara Shizune is satisfied, the Asaba superintendent estimates that he is not far from unemployment, judging from the quality of the picture and the unhappy look of President Daigo Ozoen, it is estimated that there is not much left of the 40 million production budget in the end, and ohs still hasn't made any money.

As for the two songs, the arrangement and singing are quite good, and I asked Harema Jing to know that because the picture was cheap, OHS entrusted the arrangement of the two songs to a non-well-known musician producer.

Judging from the finished product, the strength of the non-famous music producer is quite good, Miyahara Jing asked the name of the non-famous musician in curiosity, and then I learned that this person is still a lady, her name is Kajiura Yuki, and there is also an intern who gave her a hand, it is said that at this time she was still a college student in the engineering department of Kyoto University, and her name was Kamizen Aki.

That's right, it's very confusing, the god-level figure is still a non-well-known musician, and the fee is not expensive.

Miyahara Jing has never had a personality cult, but I have to admit that the arrangement of these two songs is really good, and those who can mix up and become famous do have two brushes.

As for the singer,Because the supervisor spent all the money on the picture,So in line with the principle of saving if you can save,There's a song that is directly sung by the blonde Lori Dayuan Saya.,With her voice talent,Although she has not undergone professional training,But in the ears of an amateur like Miyahara Jing,The song interpretation is quite good.,As for professional things,,He can't say it.,But it doesn't matter.,This song was originally sold to otaku.,Why talk about it so professionally.,It's not good.。

The point is that OHS didn't spend a dime...... So it's a pity that Saya doesn't want to be a voice actor or singer.

As for the other song, OHS still adheres to the principle of saving money if it can, and the singer is the private work of a random female student from Hori High School.

As for the name of the schoolgirl, Miyahara asked curiously, and then he knew that the person seemed to be called Ayumi Hamasaki, and it cost a total of 8,000 yen to ask her to sing this song.

I don't know if this voice sounds familiar!

As for the ability to pull people at OHS, Miyahara was subdued, and it was definitely wise to hand over the PV to them.

This is still an era when celebrities are not visible, Ayumi Hamasaki is worth 8000, not a euro or a dollar, not a yuan, just a yen, and the most important thing is that the song she sang, not to mention the copyright or anything, there is no authorship......

For a moment, Miyahara Shizune wanted to go to Horikoshi Middle School to pack a dozen celebrities, but it seems that Horikoshi's students must have an artist contract to be able to enroll, and it costs a little to pry the corner, and Hibiscus Club is a two-dimensional business...... After thinking about it, he had to dispel this idea again.

And in October, Hibiscus finally opened fire on Miura Shosha, which had been identified as a sworn enemy, although the main target was not Miura itself.

The well-known lawyer Nakahara Goshi filed a lawsuit with the Tokyo High Court on behalf of Hibiscus Society, suing several cartoonists and editors who had left Hibiscus on charges of breach of contract, deliberate commercial infringement, and malicious defamation. Among them, there is no doubt about the amount of 234 million yen for breach of contract, because it was entirely based on the contract, and for the rest of the commercial infringement, Nakahara Daisuke demanded that these people pay 2 billion yen in compensation for his actions that almost caused the collapse of Hibiscus Society, and 1 billion yen for the damage to his reputation caused by inappropriate speech.

is worthy of being a well-known lawyer, and he is not ambiguous at all when he opens his mouth, you must know that it is not worth 2 billion to package all the hibiscus society at that time in May, but the problem is that at this time when the lawsuit begins, it is not a problem for the hibiscus society to be worth 2 billion.

The process of the trial of the case was quite strenuous, and Miyahara Shizune didn't even mean to go to court on the day of the trial, and the matter was all handed over to Yoshishi Kubo and Daisuke Nakahara.

And the Zhongyuan lawyer is worthy of being a bull who can top a top lawyer group by himself, almost the entire trial process is in his rhythm, and it always makes people feel reasonable to say what he says if he is justified or not, and every sentence has a legal basis, and the other party's lawyer is simply throwing off his armor in front of him, and he can't form an army.

In the end, the manga artist compensated Hibiscus 234 million yen in liquidated damages, together with the editors, compensated 760 million yen for the economic losses of Hibiscus, and 20 million yen for the loss of reputation for those who made inappropriate remarks...... This is mainly because the influence of the newspaper where they spoke is too weak, and if it can be in a newspaper with a big influence, it may really be able to get a billion.

As a result, Hibiscus won a resounding victory, and the manga artists (actually Miura Shosha) were of course not satisfied and appealed, but the result was basically upheld.

The first time the two sides fought, because the Miura Books secretly attacked the Hibiscus Society of the good family women like a little hooligan, the Hibiscus Society, which realized that there was no slightest defense, was almost wiped out, and the second time, the Miura Books finally found out that the other party was not a good family woman at all, but a divorced middle-aged woman like a wolf and a tiger, how strong do you * come back, how strong does he have to * go back...... As a result, Miura's shoujo manga had to be discontinued, because the amount of compensation paid by those manga artists greatly exceeded the limit that Miura had originally imagined, so they decided to let those manga artists and editors fend for themselves.

This is mainly because they didn't expect that the Hibiscus Society would be able to hire a lawyer like Daisuke Nakahara, everyone was originally going to fight bayonets, what do you mean by bringing out a Vulcan cannon?

Miura due to the gecko's broken tail, the Hibiscus Society has no intention of breaking with them for the time being, so the loss is not big, the worst is the cartoonists, this time they know what is called the unbearable weight of life, without the publisher's support for them, all the economic compensation has to be borne by themselves, the situation is better, you have to spit out all the money earned in the Hibiscus Society in those years, the bad ones have to take a lot of the original savings, and the worse ones have to take a lot of the original savings, and even worse, they can't afford to make economic compensation, then I'm sorry, you honestly go to the wall and think about it, You might even be able to pick up some soap.

Don't blame the young president Miyahara for doing things too badly, when people make a choice, they often can't weigh the gains and losses, only see the benefits, but they won't realize the consequences of the failure of the choice, but not seeing it doesn't mean that these consequences really won't come, if it weren't for the bug of Miyahara Jing, now the Hibiscus Club is estimated to be over, at that time, not only the Miyahara family, but even the original employees were going to drink the northwest wind, who did they recruit to provoke whom?

…………

This is a lot of messy things, in fact, Miyahara Jing also didn't pay much attention, his focus is on drawing comics, preparing C47, and preparing for next year's shonen manga reissue.

Drawing comics is a daily routine, shonen manga will be in January and February next year, and C47 has arrived.
