Chapter 123: Media Appreciation Meeting

In the battle with "Shonen Sunday", the sales of "Shonen Jump" climbed to 900,000 with difficulty.

However, when the news of winning the top spot appeared in newspapers and television, the sales of "Shonen Jump" once again ushered in a significant increase. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Just a few days later, the statistics were once again impressive, leaving all competitors in the spotlight.

Millions sold!

This is the answer sheet that "Shonen Jump" handed over at the end.

What is the concept of million sales?

Ordinary literary works, 10,000 is rare. Even if a novel has 100,000 novels, it is a very best-seller, and one million is an honor that only top writers have.

But now, as long as you can be on Shonen Jump, a million people will watch your work!

A shortcut to fame!

A gold-sucking weapon!

For Shueisha, it's the equivalent of having a stable cash cow. With a profit of more than 100 million yuan per month, what kind of propaganda offensive can't be launched?

Shogakukan and "Junior Sunday" have also experienced such explosive growth, and they know that this competition is really over early.

Not only did they fail to win the competition, but they even lost the first place, which is really a loss for their wives and soldiers.

However, Li Shanhe knows that this is not the end, but only the beginning.

At the peak of "Shonen Jump", the sales volume was 6 million!

Of course, whether it can reach this number in this life depends on whether Li Shanhe allows it.

All in all, everyone is excited about reaching this milestone. In order to celebrate this rare moment, Shueisha happily found an excuse and specially organized a media appreciation party.

Li Shanhe, as a pillar, is naturally the top priority that must appear, although he has no energy because of overwork in the past few days, but Wuzi's words made him change his mind:

"Teacher, Fujiko Fujio, we've got it back!"

---

The media appreciation meeting was held in the form of a cold dinner plate at a hotel specially rented by Shueisha. The president of Shueisha gave a thank-you speech on stage, and Li Shanhe yawned and grabbed a sushi and threw it in his mouth.

"Teacher, pay attention to your image." The dancer on the side held champagne and reminded in a whisper.

"Hmph, is it necessary? I've even stuffed canned food, I've experienced everything, and the rules of the world can't stop me anymore! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Maiko's distressed heart, what a handsome and dashing conscience cartoonist who never delays the draft, and was stuffed into a raunchy uncle by canned food.

Having said that, Li Shanhe at least knew that this was an occasion for suits and leather shoes, and he dressed up a little, but he was not compelling and handsome, but had a feeling of being free and easy, and treated social occasions as his own unrestrained feeling.

This kind of feel is put on ordinary people, called sling, and on celebrities, it is called master style.

The reporters sighed "This is the master", and from time to time they wanted to come over for interviews, and some of them hinted at job hopping, poaching and the like.

was blocked back by the dancers who were watching from the side.

Li Shanhe squatted next to the sushi stall, watching the master pinch out one sushi after another, if there was anything that was not seafood, he grabbed it and threw it into his mouth as soon as possible.

He's not the only one who is bored, a circle of cartoonists is just like him, and the words of the speeches on stage seem to them to be just some nonsense in and out of the left ear.

Maiko said, "Teacher, do you want to say something on stage?" ”

After thinking about it, Li Shanhe shook his head: "No, don't be too proud, it's not time to celebrate yet, and the game will not end for a while." ”

At this time, the spokesman on the stage shouted: "Osamu Tezuka can't win against us, what's so scary?" Besides, we have the invincible teacher Ai Luo Wuyong! ”

"Drink! ――”

Many raised their glasses and cheered.

Li Shanhe was helpless, this group of guys, haven't you heard the proverb that those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety?

He yawned, and at this time, many cartoonists also came over to pay their respects, most of them admiring "Five Million Things".

If it was a few months ago, these cartoonists were the objects that Li Shanhe needed to look up to, but at this time, he already has the status of the rivers and lakes, which is enough to be on an equal footing with these bigwigs.

Cartoonists all have a rebellious atmosphere, even if they can't see it on the surface, but they have their own set of review plans for the works of their peers in their hearts.

Wen Wu is the first, the number of sales, everyone may be envious, jealous and hateful; But for your amazing brain holes, they will only clap their hands and admire, and they will not be as good as themselves.

The evaluation of "Five Million Things" far exceeds that of "Iron Man Corps".

Li Shanhe can not be a reporter to the media, but he doesn't dare to say anything serious about these peers, otherwise he may be inserted into the comics one day and become the villain of the big demon king, so he has to deal with them with them with all his energy.

Fortunately, the appearance of another great god, Fujiko Fujio, helped him divert his attention, and as soon as he saw this guy who had disappeared for several days appear, everyone gathered around.

Li Shanhe also followed, thinking that Fujimoto Hiroshi and An Sun Zi Suxiong were beaten, but who would have thought that what they heard was shocked:

"Fujimoto! You two have done what I always wanted to do but didn't dare to do, I admire you so much! ”

"Where the hell are you hiding? After so many days of hiding, a record has been broken! Tell me the ropes! ”

Li Shanhe is stumbling, how can these cartoonists have a fugitive habit!

Maiko said with a vigilant face: "Teacher, you can't learn from these guys, your state is related to the life and death of Shueisha!" ”

Li Shanhe didn't bother to answer at all, rolled his eyes, and walked in front of Fujimoto Hiroshi.

An grandson Suo stood in front of Fujimoto Hiroshi, and his neck stalked: "It's our fault to run away, but if you kill many of our characters, we will be evened!" ”

Oops, my can is stuffed in vain, and I want to offset it in two sentences? If I don't drain your oil and water, I'll be blind to my name as a capitalist.

Li Shanhe paused and said, "Teacher, you guys are thinking badly, I'm helping you by killing the character." ”

"Help us?"

"Think about it, why are you running? Isn't it because there are too many serials and you are reluctant to give up? Li Shanhe shook his head and sighed, "I have to help you make a choice, cut out a few works, and concentrate on painting the remaining masterpieces, isn't this kind of life good?" ”

As for what is cut out and what is a boutique...... Of course, my "Doraemon" is worth drawing, so stop the rest!

Hey, Fujimoto Hiroshi blinked, it seems to make sense to say that.

"That's too much to kill," An Sun Sun Suxiong frowned, "If we don't show up again, you'll kill them all!" ”

Li Shanhe spread his hands: "So, I kept the foreshadowing, and I didn't give a real desperate situation." Who do you want to resurrect? Let's talk about it. ”

As he spoke, Li Shanhe was about to call the editors of other magazines to supervise, so frightened that An Sun Suxiong hurriedly grabbed his arm.

"Alright, alright! We won't pursue it with you! ”

The two of them were driven crazy by so many serials, don't look at the two of them unhappy, deep down they are actually running away with joy.

Li Shanhe is also considered to be the strength to take the blame. In order to let the two of them concentrate on "Doraemon", it is really well-intentioned, and it is a sacrifice that only absolute iron buddies have.

Think about it, if Xiaolongnu was cooxx by Zhen Zhibing, Jin Yong asked Ni Kuang to ghostwrite, and he would definitely not be greeted by the whole family for so many years.

As for their own reputation...... Anyway, I will kill people in the work in the future, not worse than the ten or eight now.

Li Shanhe nodded with satisfaction: "Then do you owe me?" ”

"Hmph, what do you want?"

Both of them were ready to be slaughtered, but who thought that Li Shanhe said with a smile: "It's not good, as long as you draw "Doraemon" according to the agreement, it will be the best compensation for me." ”

It's that simple? An Sun Sun Suxiong was a little surprised.

Fujimoto Hiroshi pushed away the little friend who was blocking him, scratched his head, and said a little unhappily: "But, is this how we will serialize "Doraemon"? It feels a bit like taking someone else's child......"

Hey, these cartoonists are really hard to serve.

Li Shanhe had no choice but to say: "Isn't the plot all discussed by us together, but I couldn't find your figure when it was serialized, so I had to add a lot of material on my own." The backbone is all determined, and you are also considered the biological father, why do you think you are an adopted son at this time? ”

"The plot after your changes is much better than what we discussed that day." Fujimoto Hiroshi shook his head and sighed, "The work we have put in is only half an hour of discussion to establish the main line. If I write, I'm afraid I won't be able to draw such a wonderful plot in the future. Yes, you are so unfair. ”

Li Shanhe comforted: "Don't say that, teacher, the reason why "Iron Man Corps" has such high praise is inseparable from borrowing your fame for publicity." Many people bought this magazine because of your name! ”

"Fame?" An Sun Zi Suxiong remembered something, and laughed at himself, "The fame of "Iron Man Corps" is also mentioned all day long in the mouths of primary school students in our hometown. ”

It's a real nuisance.

Li Shanhe scratched his head, and suddenly had an idea: "By the way, have you forgotten Nobita?" He is the embodiment of Hiroshi Fujimoto, who can understand his heart like you? And who can paint him vividly? ”

"You?" Li Shanhe pointed to An Sun Zi Suxiong, who was wearing sunglasses, and looked very serious.

"Me?" Li Shanhe pointed at himself and made a funny expression, "Just by looking at my face, you know that I and Nobita are two completely opposite types of people." ”

He clapped his hands and laughed: "So, among us, only Fujimoto-sensei, of course you won't let it!" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed along, and Fujimoto Hiroshi touched his head and grinned and laughed with everyone.

After laughing, he said with a straight face: "Since Teacher Ailuo Wuyong has said so, then, I might as well obey my fate with respect." I'll do my best to create the story of Doraemon! ”

Li Shanhe laughed and patted him on the back: "Mr. Fujimoto, don't put too much pressure on yourself, let's have a competition." I declare that I will release a movie every year, and Mr. Fujimoto, you can try to create a better story and surpass me! ”

"Hmph, as a senior, I won't admit defeat easily!"

Everyone is happy.

Everyone picked up their wine glasses to celebrate, and in the midst of the staggering, Li Shanhe seemed to hear Fujimoto Hiroshi's muttering:

"Thank you for your trust and for agreeing to give me Doraemon to serialize...... Really, thank you very much! ”

After a long time, Li Shanhe learned that because of this out-of-manuscript escape, Fujimoto Hiroshi and An Sun Sun Suo were jointly banned by the comic magazine in Tokyo.

And "Shonen Jump", as the sales champion, extended a helping hand at this time, which can be said to have saved the careers of the two.

Li Shanhe is reluctant to drink, but sometimes it is inevitable to socialize. He can not give investors face, but he does not dare to refute the face of his peers, otherwise he will become a villain in a minute.

drank too much pigment and water, and when the scene ended, Li Shanhe staggered into the bathroom and opened the gate to release water.

Just as he was comfortable, a young man in the seat next to him suddenly turned his head and shouted in surprise:

"This、Isn't this Mr. Luo Wuyong! You, you also come to the toilet yourself? ”

Li Shanhe twitched the corners of his mouth, aren't you talking nonsense, can I still find someone else to do it for me?

He felt that this young man was a little familiar, recalled it, and smiled: "Oh, it's you." I remember you, in the previous negotiations with Toei Animation, you were always at the back, right? You were also invited to this appreciation dinner? ”

"Ah, the teacher actually remembers me?" The young man was surprised and delighted, "It's so hard to get you! ”

That's a big deal of......

The young man has a simplicity that is in line with his age, and he either talks about it as soon as he opens his mouth, or he stammers, which is completely in line with the fan mentality of seeing idols.

"It's all the seniors who can come in......"

After chatting casually, Li Shanhe rinsed his hands at the washstand, and the young man helped to draw a stack of tissues, Li Shanhe happily took it and wiped his hands clean.

I thought it was just an ordinary chance encounter with a fan, but who knew that the young man was a little shy and said:

"Teacher, the last time we met was too rushed, could you sign for me?"

After a second of silence, Li Shanhe pulled out a new tissue: "What do you want to sign?" ”

"That, please sign it, give it to Katsuhiro Otomo......"

Katsuhiro Otomo?

Li Shanhe's pen stopped and looked carefully at the shy guy in front of him.

Although he tried his best to pretend to be mature, after careful investigation, this little guy was probably not more than sixteen years old, and it was easy to mistake him for a part-time student.

This guy is the big director of "Children's Dream" and "Akira"?

Speaking of which, the RB animation directors of this wave of bull forks in the 70s actually couldn't get along in other industries, so they had to study in this industry, and finally had such great achievements.

Katsuhiro Otomo is a typical figure in this, because he was involved in the left-wing movement, and by the time it was his turn to graduate from high school, the student movement had failed. All of these people were liquidated, and they couldn't find a job in society at all, so Katsuhiro Otomo had no choice but to enter the field of manga with the help of his predecessors.

Unexpectedly, he was still a little talented, and the works he made had a deep revolutionary atmosphere, especially for Europeans and Americans, and he turned exports to domestic sales, which suddenly became famous and became the leader of RB animation overseas.

Thinking of the future path of this kid, Li Shanhe sighed, signed his name, stuffed it into his jacket pocket, and said:

Katsuhiro Otomo...... Wouldn't you be interested in coming to my company? ”

Katsuhiro Otomo was stunned, working in the same company with an idol is a beauty difference that he never dreamed of!

"But, is that okay?"

"Yes, it's just a comic book publisher. How's that, are you coming? ”

"I can't ask for it!" Katsuhiro Otomo's eyes seemed to be glowing, but then dimmed, "Well, thank you very much, but I'm only fifteen years old this year......"

I'm going, so small?

"Fifteen, just started high school, right? It's okay, you can come to work. Our company also employs quite a few work-study high school students. If you have a successful job, you can become a full-time employee after graduating from high school. How's that, interested? ”

Hearing that there was such a good thing, Otomo Katsuyo immediately said, "Then, please leave it to you!" ”

Holding Li Shanhe's business card, Otomo Katsuyo couldn't help himself with excitement, and when he thought of how envious, jealous and hateful his little friends would be, he couldn't wait to show them off!

(Recently, I am planning to delete the first volume, but let's talk about the episodes of the first volume that you find interesting and should be kept?) (To be continued.) )
