Chapter 47: The Gambling Contract

On this day, after Li Shanhe got up in the morning, he was stopped before he could go to the company to inspect. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Maiko Saotome hurriedly parked the car outside the apartment, climbed up with a knock, and said without panting: "Great! Teacher, you are here. Something big has happened! Editor-in-chief Fukasawa asked me to take you to Shueisha! ”

Li Shanhe was eating breakfast, nibbling on buns, drinking gruel, and frowning: "Don't shout." What happened? ”

"Like, it seems that Sakamoto Tsushima came to the door and asked for a challenge!"

Challenge?

After thinking about it, Li Shanhe said, "I know, you wait for me." ”

Then he went back to his room and took two file bags. It's the result of recent work.

On the road, the car drove fast, and the scenery on both sides quickly retreated.

Maiko's eyes glanced at the file bag in the back seat from time to time, and finally couldn't help but say, "Teacher, what is that?" ”

"One is next week's "Legend of the Galactic Heroes", and I handed it in together, so that someone has no excuse to run around and be lazy." Li Shanhe didn't hide much, "One is a new work that has been practiced recently. ”

"Huh? Teacher has a new work? Teacher, I'm an editor, why don't you discuss it with me first? Maiko said with some dissatisfaction.

"Didn't I show you that day?"

Maiko thought for a long time, and suddenly slapped the steering wheel: "Could it be the "Little Girl Playing the Goose" that day?" Teacher, isn't that a draft? Really want to be serialized? ”

"Who says drafts can't be serialized?" Li Shanhe is unhappy, do you know how hard it is to pick out a low-level comic that can be serialized.

It's over, Maiko is bitter in her heart, and she will definitely be criticized by the editor-in-chief. The editor-in-chief of Fukasawa didn't dare to scold the teacher, and she would be the unlucky one to be the editor at that time.

"Crayon Xiaoxin" has simple lines and is suitable for beginner imitators like himself, which is why Li Shanhe chose it.

If you just copy, you can draw three or four words a day.

But after such a long time, Li Shanhe has painted dozens of words, and the works that really satisfy him are only six or seven words, which is only two weeks of serialization.

Because he's not just imitating.

He first jotted down the plot part of the story and then ignored it. After a few days, when the storyboard of the original work was already blurred in his mind, he began to write, and the same plot was created in his own style.

He then compares his manuscript with the original so he knows what he needs to improve.

This method was told by Li Shanhe from the author of an online novel, and after trying it, it was really useful, and his storyboard and painting level improved by leaps and bounds.

Of course, this leap and bound, refers to a very low-level leap and bound, and choosing a low-level comic will naturally not rise fast.

Gossip aside.

The car drove into the parking lot of the Elementary School Building, and the two hurried to Shueisha, and outside the magazine, they heard the voice of the editor-in-chief Fukasawa holding back his anger:

"You say you want our one-month-old magazine to compare with Shonen Sunday, which has been around for 10 years? How could this be compared! ”

The dancer is in a hurry, and he has to push the door in. Li Shanhe grabbed her wrist, compared his index finger in front of his lips, signaled not to make a sound, and then softly opened the door, knelt on the ground, and walked in lightly.

Almost all of the Shonen Jump employees gather here. Li Shanhe was at the outermost end of the crowd, watching the heated debate of the three people in the center.

I only saw a middle-aged man with a big belly and a high-end casual suit, and smiled and reassured: "Maybe I didn't make it clear before?" It's not for you to compete with "Shonen Sunday", our elementary school hall is just to avoid the loss of internal competition! Sakamoto, can you tell me? ”

"Yes, President." Sakamoto Kima, who was silent on the side, stepped forward with an expressionless face and opened a folder: "We will set up a new "Young Herewego!" magazine, using the same all-comic strategy as Shonen Jump, is published weekly ......"

Halfway through reading, I suddenly remembered a loud shout in the crowd:

"Steal! You're stealing! If it's not good, why should we compete with you? ”

Sakamoto Mazuma's reading was interrupted, and he frowned, feeling that the voice was somewhat familiar.

"Hehe, of course I won't let you do it for nothing." The president of the Shogakukan said with a smile, "The board of directors of the Shogakukan has decided that the hasty establishment of Shueisha is probably a quarterly waste of personnel. So, if we win this competition, all of the Shonen Sunday employees will be merged into Shonen Black Feeding the Dogs, bringing you back to Elementary School! Is this return enough? ”

Employees, look at me, I'll look at you, this proposal is really unexpected.

The employees here were all swept away by the Shogakukan, and it was almost impossible to get rid of it before Shonen Jump came along. So this chip is very tempting for everyone.

Just when everyone was shaken, the voice appeared again: "This is too unfair to people who have been working hard!" What if you lose? Isn't there no punishment? ”

Sakamoto put down the folder and wanted to find the source of the sound, but Li Shanhe quietly circled behind the crowd, leaving her in vain.

Lose?

The president was amused by the word, and wanted to say, 'We won't lose', but on second thought, isn't this just admitting that he is here to take advantage?

"There's no way I'm going to lose." Sakamoto returned to his original position and said coldly, "If I lose, I will voluntarily leave the Shogakukan and join Shueisha." ”

When they heard this, they all laughed. If one person changes the whole magazine, no fool will agree to such a bet.

Sakamoto Tsushima was expressionless: "The new issue "Shonen Black Feeding Dog" will also be merged with "Shonen Jump", of course, it is mainly you. Doubling the swelling all at once, aren't you satisfied? ”

The staff are generally inclined to refuse, because the Shogakukan is too powerful, and even if the new journal competes, there are many ways to pull in god-level works, and it is almost impossible to win.

Li Shanhe was behind the crowd, and suddenly, his heart moved.

"It's a good opportunity...... if Shonen Jump is in crisis, it will depend on me even more...... In other words, if I serialize multiple stories, is it possible? ”

Looking at the president of the Elementary School Hall again, the old god is still there, and it seems that this condition has not yet reached his bottom line.

After a pause, Li Shanhe hid behind the crowd and shouted in a pinched voice:

"It's not enough! Want us to agree, unless Shueisha is financially independent! ”

Financial independence!

Hearing this word, all the people's breathing became heavy.

What does this mean? Shueisha is no longer a loser's camp at Shogakukan, but a completely autonomous enterprise!

I have to say that Li Shanhe grasped this point very accurately. hit the dead hole of Shueisha employees at once, and at the same time, accurately stepped on the president's bottom line.

With dissatisfaction, the president suddenly thought of something, relaxed, nodded and smiled: "Okay, if you really win, why not be financially independent?" ”
