Chapter 117: Five Million

YES! It worked!

Sure enough, as long as the hoe swings well, there is no corner that can't be dug up! Shogakukan, just wait and cry!

Li Shanhe secretly clenched his fists, and then hurriedly said:

"Wait a minute, there are two things I want to explain in advance to avoid disputes later. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

"What?"

Li Shanhedao: "The first thing is about income distribution, I am not short of money for the time being, so I hope that all the comic income will go to the teacher and you......"

An grandson Suxiong said unhappily: "Hmph, you kid, what do you think of us?" Are we such money-grubbing people? ”

"Two teachers, I'm not done yet." Li Shanhe smiled, "Except for comics, I own 51% of all peripheral copyrights, and I can decide whether to authorize them or not." Of course, in terms of income distribution, it is still 33% per person......"

Fujimoto Hiroshi frowned: "Is it necessary to be so troublesome?" ”

"Of course it's necessary," Li Shanhe said in a good way, "just for the convenience of separation." Comic publishing, as long as you find a publishing house, it is clear and simple; When it comes to animation, the copyright discussion is very cumbersome, and I have 51% of the words to facilitate decision-making and authorization......"

"Okay, okay, whatever you say." An grandson Suo impatiently signed his name and threw it to Fujimoto Hiroshi.

Fujimoto Hiroshi looked at it carefully for a while, thought about it, and said, "I'll add another one, is it okay?" ”

"What?"

"If the writer doesn't have time to serialize, others are obligated to help draw it. May I? ”

"Of course, no problem, that's right."

Fujimoto snickered twice, made up this one, and signed his name at the end.

It's done!

Li Shanhe groped for the cover of the contract, full of emotion, he has been busy for so long, and now he can really put "Doraemon", together with the two original authors, into the bag!

An Sun Zi Suxiong said: "The three of us joined forces, such a strong pain, I don't know what kind of achievements this comic can achieve in the end." ”

Li Shanhe said with a smile: "I hope it can have 100 million sales." ”

One hundred million?

This is too exaggerated, isn't that equivalent to one book for all of Japan? If there is really this sales, it is really enough to fight against Tezuka, cast an undefeated golden body, and leave a name in history.

The two laughed, not taking this sentence to heart at all.

Everyone chatted and drew the manuscript at the same time. Soon the doorbell rang and the assistants came.

The three of them were very tacitly agreed and stopped talking about Tezuka. This kind of internal competition, it's okay to talk about it internally, let outsiders know, and damage your own image.

After meeting Fujiko Fujio and the two authors, the assistants shouted and came to ask for autographs excitedly. Li Shanhe smiled and quieted them down, and handed out the signatures that had been prepared a long time ago.

Fujimoto Hiroshi said with some curiosity: "Wow, it's all young people." Li Jun, do you need to hire so many assistants? ”

"Teacher, you should call me Shanhe, it's more cordial."

He made room for the assistants, and while watching them work, Li Shanhe introduced, "These assistants are my precious treasures. Most of them don't have much talent, so I let them specialize in just one category. ”

"What do you mean?"

Li Shanhe pointed to a small bean and said, "For example, the high school student over there, his name is An Da Mian, he can't draw human bodies, and he can't draw streets well, so I asked him to specialize in painting trees." All the trees in the original sketch were painted by him, fast and goodβ€”this is the mastery, and this is the secret of the fineness of my drawings. ”

When the two of them heard this, it suddenly dawned on them that this is the case, and it is indeed necessary to hire many people.

An Sun Suxiong walked behind An Da Mian and watched quietly, sure enough, this high school student can also draw a leafy tree with a few strokes, even if An Sun Sun Su Xiong comes in person, he can't draw so fast and so well.

If the 12 people are all of this level, then it is no wonder that Li Shanhe's picture has received so much praise.

Hiroshi Fujimoto sighed: "Hiring so many people will increase the cost a lot." ”

"Hehe, these children originally had nothing to do with the world of comics, only enthusiasm. I pay a little bit more to keep their enthusiasm and that's what I value the most. Li Shanhe smiled, "Although I am short of money, I can still take out this little money." ”

With the assistant on board, the drawing went smoothly.

It didn't take long for them to not only finish drawing the manuscript of "Transforming into a Doll", but even brainstorming, and the storyboard script of "Doraemon" with 10 chapters was placed in front of Li Shanhe, which was enough for two issues.

The prisoner leader finally came out of the police station, smelling sour, and as soon as he entered the door, he roared angrily: "Bastard, Fujimoto, see where else you can escape......

A calm word came from the entrance: "I'm ready, which can you take me to?" ”

The prisoner leader was stunned, the sun came out of the west? The two teachers didn't resist stuffing cans?

At this time, Fujimoto Hiroshi and Yasuko Suo were just finished trimming and were in good spirits, in stark contrast to the bloodshot prisoner leader.

Li Shanhe said with some reluctance: "Suxiong, Hong, do you have to go?" I'm in a good environment here, you can draw other manuscripts with me......"

"You have your war, and I have ours." An Sun Zi Suxiong took off his glasses, hung them on Li Shanhe's jacket pocket, and patted him on the chest, "I will contact other friends to help you publicize." As seniors, this is one of the few things we can do for you. ”

Fujimoto Hiroya smiled: "I don't want to trouble you, you still have a lot to do." This invitation, let's write it down for the time being, maybe there will really be a day to go to the appointment, but it may not be known. ”

Looking at their chic backs, Li Shanhe sighed for a while, this is the master, it is free and easy.

He slapped his face. I don't have time to waste anymore! Tezuka's three works, it's not enough to find only one to fight against yourself!

The war has begun!

"Did you hear the news?"

In the president's office on the top floor of the Elementary School Building, a conversation is underway.

Sakamoto is on temporary leave and understaffed, and it is an associate editor who answers in her place.

"Recently, Shueisha has stepped up its cleaning efforts, and many people are reluctant to send us any more news." The deputy editor-in-chief said, "Still, I inquired, and it seems that they have hired Fujiko Fujio to cooperate." ”

Hearing this name, the president immediately became nervous.

Fujiko Fujio! Former pillar writer of Shogakukan!

Awesome, you know they won't sit still! I actually came up with this trick to make up for the gap in popularity!

The president shouted, "Are they trying to invite the side roll of "Q Taro"? Isn't this work published exclusively by our Shogakukan? Legal, by the way, let the people from the legal department come over and sue them! ”

The deputy editor-in-chief hurriedly said: "Ah, president, I heard that the news is that they will collaborate on a new work......"

"New work?" Hearing the news, the president suddenly relaxed, "Hehe, it's not "Q Taro". Fujiko Fujio's new works in recent years are ordinary.,There's no way to compare with Tezuka.。 ”

The deputy editor-in-chief smiled flatteringly: "Yes, it's just their dying throes!" ”

The president nodded with satisfaction, although this deputy editor-in-chief is not as capable as Sakamoto Tsuma, but fortunately, he is obedient enough and knows how to pat farts.

Just then, the phone on the desk rang. The president waved his hand, sent the deputy editor-in-chief out, and then picked up the microphone.

"How about this time, can we win?"

Hearing this voice, the president snorted:

"Beidalu, can't you trust my abilities? I came forward in person and invited Tezuka, no matter how strong they are, can they still compare to Tezuka's popularity? ”

On the other side of the phone, it was Kenji Kitaoji, who had plagiarized "A Bowl of Clear Soup Soba"!

As Li Shanhe's fame grew, he became more and more restless, and every time he took a step forward in his plan, he had to call to inquire about the progress!

Beidalu's voice was a little hoarse: "I hope everything can go according to plan, I remind you to be careful, that guy is not simple......"

"Okay, okay, if it weren't for you being so useless, I wouldn't fight the price of losing the entire magazine and fight the other party head-on. If I had a choice, I wouldn't choose you! ”

After a moment of silence, the other person on the phone said, "Everything I have done is also for the glory of Japan......

"Humph! I know, I'm not here to save you, I'm here to save the glory of all Japan! ”

……

----

Osamu Tezuka, a top manga artist, certainly won't release new works in obscurity.

"Shonen Sunday" was almost desperate, pouring a lot of money into a propaganda campaign. Hot air balloon slogans float in the sky of Roppongi, and the fact that Tezuka has opened three new books in a row is well known to everyone.

All of a sudden, I don't know how many Tezuka fans are looking forward to it.

"Dororo", a ghost manga with 200,000 popularity.

"Qizi", a harmonious comic that deeply reflects the social reality.

"Sea Prince", a young boy manga that rushed to sell.

"Applaud, applaud, and popularity, the three elements are all ready, no matter how you look at it, "Shonen Jump" has no chance of winning."

A balding middle-aged man said, touching his head, which was round, like a hairy braised egg.

He put down the magazine "Shonen Sunday" and muttered, "Hiroshi Fujimoto, they are really crazy, they actually stepped on this troubled water, relying on unit drama comics to fight Tezuka? It's really looking for death, looking for death. ”

He was standing in front of the newsstand outside the Shogakukan building, where he could always buy the latest issues of Shonen Sunday and Shonen Jump as quickly as possible. At this time, many comic book fans are already rushing to buy the new "Shonen Sunday". They all came from afar, absent from work and school, and they also had to buy new Tezuka works as soon as possible.

The middle-aged man was just about to continue to sigh a few words, and was squeezed away from the newsstand by the surging crowd, he snorted and patted the wrinkled clothes, sure enough, he shouldn't come to a crowded place.

Over there, a girl squatted on the ground and finished reading "Young Sunday", and said with satisfaction: "Ah, it's really the right one." "Sea Prince" lives up to expectations, so handsome! ”

Another older girl said, "Okay, I've bought the book, let's go back quickly, it's not good to be found out that I missed class......"

"How's that going to work! "Shonen Jump" is coming soon, and I want to see the new work of Takeyu Airo and Fujiko Fujio! ”

"Oh, after eating a big meal, what does it taste like to eat this kind of small dish? How could they be better than Tezuka's work? ”

"But Fujiko is not a master and apprentice if he doesn't have a hand and an apprentice, a fateful duel, I feel very excited when I think about it!"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he nodded, fans thought so, what else could be wrong?

He became more and more determined in his thoughts, and he was the only one who could fight against Tezuka!

In the distance, a young man in a black suit ran by, panting and waving two documents. "Mizuki-sensei! I've got my pass! ”

"Shhh ”

"Okay, Mizuki-sensei, shall we go in and visit the Elementary School Hall now?"

"Visiting the Elementary School? Ah, yes, that's what we're here to do. Lead the way. ”

He pinned the pass to his chest, and the photo was very recognizable with a sleek hairy braised egg, and in the name column, three words were written:

"Shigeru Mizuki".

If "Shonen Magazine" saw this scene, he would definitely jump three feet high in surprise, because Mizuki Shigeru is the main author of "Shonen Magazine" and the original author of "Giggle Kitaro"!

Could it be that "Kitaro" is going to change jobs? That's a big deal!

The two of them entered the Elementary School Building one after the other. The young man introduced energetically, fantasizing about digging up a great god. And Mizuki Shigeru is perfunctory with weak energy.

Seeing an opening, he slipped out of the side door under the pretext of going to the bathroom, and then sneaked up and ran to Shueisha.

Unlike the smooth and orderly Elementary School Building, the place is full of chaos and roaring, as if it were fighting.

"Shonen Sunday is already in stock! What are you doing! Why hasn't it been dispatched yet! ”

"Damn, they've rented out all the books wholesale company's cars! It said that there would be a spare car in the afternoon! ”

"Bastard, then send our cars out! In this Tokyo film, we must ensure the speed of distribution and not disappoint readers! ”

Chickens and dogs jumped, and many people ran around with magazines in their hands. Mizuki Shigeru was a little dumbfounded, why was it so chaotic? Where exactly is the office you're going to?

At this moment, someone recognized him, and the man came over and said, "Hey, Mizuki-sensei, what are you doing here?" ”

"Oh, it's Maiko," Mizuki Shigeru scratched his head, "I'm looking for your editor-in-chief." ”

Maiko raised her wrist and looked at her watch, at such a busy moment, Mr. Mizuki Shigeru actually came to make trouble, really.

"The editor-in-chief has recently been ill and I am in charge of temporarily acting for him. Is there anything wrong with you? ”

Mizuki Mao hugged his arms and said arrogantly: "Hmph, I just admire that guy named Ai Luo Wuyong." Even if you lose, you are still a warrior who challenges Tezuka, so I will give you a share of my strength! ”

"Would you like to contribute?"

Maiko understood, and immediately smiled. Although Mr. Mizuki is very unreliable, he is also a first-line cartoonist!

"Kitaro" is a popular work of Kodansha, and it was successfully animated not long ago, and it is booming! How can fans bring in tens of thousands of people!

"Yes, you have to be grateful!" Mizuki Shigeru raised his chin and said.

Mizuki Shigeru hates Tezuka very much, which is a well-known thing in the circle.

When Kitaro was published, it was well received, but at a banquet, Tezuka suddenly ran up to him and said, "What a mess you painted!" "I can surpass you casually", Mizuki Shigeru was not lightly angry, and the two formed a grudge.

If there is an opportunity to plot a mound, he will definitely not miss it.

Maiko warmly welcomed him to the office, served tea and poured water, and then called a colleague from the legal department to prepare a contract.

Mizuki Shigeru sinked into the couch, eating snacks and watching the others go about their business.

Suddenly, he found that there was an unreleased issue of "Shonen Jump" next to him, and in curiosity, he opened the magazine.

"Doraemon" he has known for a long time, but under the joint name of Hiroshi Takeshi and Fujiko Fujio, there is another short story.

"Five Million? What's the story? Mizuki Shigeru tilted his head, and quickly figured it out, "By the way, this is a work that takes a profound route against "Qizi", right?" It seems to be a story of materialistic criticism of society. ”

Mizuki Shigeru nodded, affirming his thoughts.

Then, just turning the first page, he was immediately hooked.

The first page is extravagant in black, with a palm sticking out of the darkness and holding a strange button, narrator:

"Press this button and you'll get five million ...... Would you, willing? (To be continued.) )
