"One more thing, from the feedback so far, it seems that there are a lot of readers asking why so many of the serialized comics on Summerelle have suddenly stopped, should we make an explanation? Although there aren't too many loyal readers for each of those comics, we have stopped half of the comics, and there may be a lot of readers in total. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Not yet, just leave it at that, the later the reader knows that those comics will never resume serialization, the better, and it would be great if the readers could forget about those comics by the end." Miyahara said half-jokingly.

"It's certainly impossible to make readers forget about those cartoons, but it's true that the later we make them public, the better it will be for us to stop them for good, especially in this period...... There are also some female readers who are very unhappy with the new series that we have stuffed into Summerere. ”

"Sure enough, it will be difficult to please readers on both sides, and when we get through the current crisis, our situation should be better by next year, and perhaps we can try to republish our weekly magazine."

Yoshishi Kubo was a little surprised by what Miyahara said, and now that the crisis of Hibiscus has not yet passed, he actually wants to resume the weekly magazine.

"Are you serious, Jingjun?"

"Of course, does my words sound like a joke?"

Yoshishi Kubo shook his head, Miyahara Shizu's tone really didn't seem like a joke, but it sounded ridiculous and not half feasible.

"Jingjun, our weekly has been out of publication for more than eight years, and you may not know that the weekly magazine of the Hibiscus Society has only existed for a little over three years...... When Hibiscus was at its best, we tried to publish a weekly magazine, but it turned out that we failed. ”

As an editor who has experienced weekly publishing, Yoshishi Kubo understands that it is completely different from the difficulty of publishing a monthly semi-monthly magazine.

Weekly magazines and semi-monthly magazines and monthly magazines have completely different requirements for a publishing house, and in terms of the operational efficiency of the entire editorial department alone, weekly magazines are more than twice as efficient as semi-monthly magazines, so ordinary small publishing houses cannot play weekly magazines at all, which is one of the most successful factors for the weekly manga of only large publishing houses such as Shogakukan, Kodansha, and Shueisha.

"I know how difficult it is to publish a weekly magazine, but this is just a preliminary idea of mine, and even if our finances really improve by then, we will not come up and publish a weekly magazine, but like Summere, we will start by publishing a semi-monthly comic book for teenagers."

"Semi-monthly?" This time, Yoshishi Kubo hesitated and did not deny it again, because Hibiscus has a lot of experience in the distribution of semi-monthly manga, and even if two semi-monthly magazines are published at the same time, the intensity and difficulty of the work will not be higher than that of publishing a weekly.

"The editor-in-chief of Kubo doesn't need to bother with this for the time being, and the most optimistic thing is that it is also the plan after next year, so let's focus on the present."

Miyahara Jing has already adapted to the role of president, in fact, he is also very relaxed as the president, and the daily administrative work of the company is in charge of Kubo Yoshishi, who is only responsible for creative matters and major decisions.

"That's right."

"Is there anything else besides the reader's opinion?"

"One more thing...... Not a good thing. ”

"Not a good thing?"

"That's right, today I received a contact from the editor-in-chief of Margaret, who wants to reclaim all the copyrights of 'Two or Three Things at Girls' High School' on behalf of Takama Koyama."

"Margaret? It seems that Mr. Koyama's wish has not been fulfilled. Miyahara Shizune said with a little irony, Koyama Takama left Hibiscus in order to be able to get the opportunity to be serialized on the shonen jump, but judging from the words of Yoshishi Kubo, he did get the opportunity to serialize unexpectedly by Miyahara Shizu, but unfortunately, it was not on the weekly shonen jump, but on the monthly shoujo manga Margaret.

"Maybe Shueisha is confusing us and letting Margaret's editor-in-chief come forward, but it's actually for the sake of the boys?"

Yoshishi Kubo suddenly thought of this.

Miyahara Jing imagined this possibility for a moment, then shook her head and said: "It's unlikely, even if Shonen Jump is mainly promoting shoujo manga, it is impossible to let a manga that has been serialized in other magazines for more than a year and has published four single books on its page, which means that it is very likely that Koyama Takashi's new manga did not pass, so he in turn wants to take back two or three things from girls' high school." ”

"Then that's what proves Koyama Taka's real talent, girls' high school is indeed an excellent manga, but he has nothing but girls' high school." After seeing Shizue Miyahara's creative ability, Yoshishi Kubo did have a position to deeply despise Takama Koyama, lost Takama Koyama, and then recognized Shizue Miyahara's talent, and from this point of view, perhaps this crisis of Hibiscus Society was a lucky thing.

Yoshishi Kubo has never seen a manga artist who can serialize two manga at the same time, plus the original work of two manga, and he blames the explosion of Miyahara Shizu's creative talent on the oppression under the extreme crisis of the Hibiscus Society, the current situation creates heroes, Miyahara Yuichi fell ill, and the Hibiscus Society was on the verge of crisis is the current situation, and Miyahara Jing is a "hero" in this situation.

"And how do I get back to Margaret?"

"How much did they bid to reclaim the rights to the girls' high school?" Miyahara was a little curious about this.

"20 million yen."

"20 million? For cartoonists who have not created any benefits for the publishing house, this can be called a big deal, but for us, this is a way to pass the meal, although our Hibiscus Society is a small publishing house, but it is not bad for this money, and they really dare to quote, the value of a single book in a girls' high school is more than 20 million. ”

"Besides, we haven't pursued the issue of Koyama Takazan's breach of contract."

20 million yen, which is more than 2 million yuan at the exchange rate at the time, the average sales volume of the first four single books of the girls' high school has reached nearly 400,000 copies, and the sales of a single volume are indeed more than 20 million yen.

"Then I'll turn them down." Yoshishi Kubo said that he also has no intention of giving up the copyright of the girls' high school for a mere 20 million yen, and even if the girls' high school is smashed in the hands of the Hibiscus Society, he will not sell it cheaply, and for any publishing house that is still in operation, selling the copyright of the most high-grossing work is a matter that is extremely detrimental to the dignity of the company.

"No, tease them, this kind of opportunity to pick up the tiger whiskers of the Shueisha is not much, and it is not impossible to sell the girls' high school to Margaret's editor-in-chief, but the value of 20 million is too unequal for a comic that is selling well and can enter the tens of millions level with almost no difficulties in the future."

Miyahara paused, and then continued: "You must know that girls' high schools can sell nearly 400,000 volumes on magazines like ours with limited influence, and if you change to Margaret, who has the highest chance of popularity in shoujo manga, you may be able to sell 1 million." ”

"So?" Yoshishi Kubo didn't quite understand what Miyahara meant.

"So if you ask them for 200 million, they only need to pay 200 million, and we will give up the copyright of the girls' high school."

Yoshishi Kubo was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood, Miyahara Shizune increased Shueisha's offer tenfold, that is, to tell Shueisha that there was no sincerity in negotiations on the Hibiscus Society's side.

Don't you think we're a small publishing house with an eye for money? Then we will see that the eyes of the money are open, and it is not that we will not sell, but that your bid is too low.

"What if they do agree?"

"Unless the editor-in-chief is crazy."

After Shizune Miyahara and Yoshishi Kubo finished talking about Hibiscus Society, it happened that Katsura Ono also called, and they found an apartment suitable as a studio according to Miyahara's request.

After hanging up the phone, Miyahara took a taxi to the address provided by Ono Katsura.

After looking at the apartment, he was basically satisfied.

The apartment is about five kilometers away from Miyahara Shizu's house, located on the 8th floor, with an area of 30 tsubos, that is, more than 90 square meters, and a monthly rent of 80,000 yen.

Miyahara Jing felt that the environment of this place was good, the furniture could also be used directly, basically there was no need to add items, and the area was just right, and the rent was not very expensive, so he signed a two-year lease contract on the spot, and then paid the rent for one quarter.

Shizune Miyahara and Katsura Ono then left Nanako Ueda, Chika Haumino, and Yuki Midorikawa to pack up the house, while the two returned to Miyahara Kagami's house to bring the unfinished manuscripts and painting tools.

When the two went to Miyahara's house, they found that Miyahara Jun had returned from the hospital and was sitting in the living room watching TV.

"Sister Chun, I'm back." Miyahara said hello to her sister.

Unexpectedly, Jun Miyahara just waved his hand at him, but his eyes never left the TV for a moment.

Miyahara Shizune took a closer look at what was being broadcast on the TV and immediately burst out laughing.

For no other reason, Jun Miyahara is watching a Tokyo love story rebroadcast on Fuji TV at the moment.

Tokyo Love Story is a TV series three years ago.,It's one of the pure love trilogies created by Fuji TV that year.,It once set off a ratings frenzy.,I didn't expect that Jun Miyahara is still watching it with relish.。

Miyahara Jing didn't expect that people with a character like Jun Miyahara also like to watch this style of TV series, and he thought that his sister should like a TV series like human disqualification.

Sure enough, no matter what the personality is shown on the outside, unlike this freak of himself, Jun Miyahara is essentially no different from the average JK.

If you want to ask what is the most popular TV series in China in 1994, then it is undoubtedly the CCTV version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and in Japan, the most popular is the "Homeless Child" broadcast by Nippon Television (NTV) in April this year, this TV series had an average rating of 24.7% at that time, and the highest rating reached 37.2%, which is the undisputed first of the year.
