"Is Tezuka-sensei here?"

"Shhhh Oh, yes, our president will personally visit your magazine, please understand......"

After Konosuke Tanaka persuaded an editor of another magazine to dismiss, he wiped the sweat from his head and looked at the room behind him with a hint of trepidation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This time, the Shogakukan launched Osamu Tezuka's teacher. In order to fight "Shonen Jump", the cost is already incalculable, and it is not difficult to make an appointment with Tezuka-sensei, but the difficult thing is to communicate with the editors of other magazines and how to get the manuscript smoothly.

Konosuke Tanaka is a little sad, he worked in the Elementary School Hall as soon as he graduated, and witnessed the rise and fall of "Shonen Sunday", this time the president really made a mistake!

At this time, a colleague who had changed shifts came. Konosuke Tanaka couldn't wait to walk over and said, "How are our magazines selling?" ”

"Very good, it is said that the sales data just counted exceeds the sales data of "Shonen Jump" by more than 10,000 copies, and Tezuka-sensei's fame tactics have worked!"

Konosuke Tanaka breathed a sigh of relief, he spent such a big price to continue his life, it seems that there is still salvation! As long as you keep it up, you don't have to worry about losing your job!

If Tezuka-sensei can't save "Shonen Herewego! Then there is no one in Japan who can suppress that person!

"Hey, what is this?" He looked curiously at the bag in his colleague's hand.

"Oh, the magazine I just bought, I'm guarding Tezuka here, and I need to pass the time." My colleague smiled, "We've been selling for most of the day, and the magazine of "Shonen Jump" has just been delivered to the newsstand, and it is really a small magazine with no background." ”

"Why is the bag broken?"

"Ha, because I came too late, the anxious readers almost got into a fight in the newsstand. The president's tactics this time are really effective. ”

Konosuke Tanaka nodded, glanced back at the closed studio, and quietly picked up the magazine and flipped through it.

At this moment, the door behind him suddenly shook. Osamu Tezuka's voice came from inside:

"I've had enough! No inspiration is no inspiration! I'm going out! ”

The two were startled, and hurriedly opened the door, and Osamu Tezuka stood in the studio, his eyes were red, and shouted, "I'm going to the movies!" I'm going to get inspired! ”

Konosuke Tanaka hurriedly took out the chocolate from his pocket, this is the experience handed down by his predecessors, and this kind of brand-name chocolate imported from the United States, which ordinary people can't buy at all, is Tezuka's favorite.

Sure enough, Osamu Tezuka, who got the chocolate, softened a lot, and he threw a slice into his mouth, at least it was no longer so aggressive.

Konosuke Tanaka hurriedly said, "Tezuka-sensei! The deadline is very tense, this is not the time to watch a movie, a movie is more than an hour, and the fate of our primary school hall is in turmoil for an hour! As long as you're done, you can go anywhere! ”

"If you can't draw it, you can't draw it! It's useless to force me! ”

Suddenly, Tezuka sniffed, "Huh, the smell of new manga?" Did you buy a new magazine? ”

I'll go, why is your nose so smart!

He glanced at his colleague, who said, "Ah, it's "Young Sunday" that I just bought." Teacher, thanks to you, we surpassed Shonen Jump today! ”

Tezuka bit down a piece of chocolate, rolled his eyes, and suddenly said, "It's okay if I don't go to the movies, show me the magazine." ”

"That ......" The two were a little overwhelmed.

"If you don't show me, I'll strike!" Tezuka threatened, looking at the stance, he was about to roll on the ground again.

The two had no choice but to come up with a new magazine. Who knew that Tezuka's eyes were fast, and one of them ran over quickly and grabbed another one in the bag.

He clapped his hands and laughed, "Haha, I knew it smelled from Shonen Jump, and their printing press smelled like baked rice balls!" ”

Konosuke Tanaka was shocked: "Teacher, this is not good......"

"What's wrong, I'm going to read the comics, don't bother me."

Who doesn't know! If the other person draws better than you, you will definitely be depressed again! In this way, you will find an excuse to delay the manuscript, this is your careful thinking!

He hurriedly locked the door with his foot, squeezed in, and said, "Tezuka-sensei, then I'll watch it with you too, and I'll draw a manga immediately after reading it, okay?" ”

"Don't you believe in my credit!"

"The guy whose windows are sealed with iron plates is not qualified to talk about credit!"

……

"Five Million Things", just over ten pages, took nearly half an hour to read.

Konosuke Tanaka has a cold sweat on his head, my God! What kind of comic is this? There are only three characters in the scene, the background is empty, there are a lot of words in the grid, and the eyes hurt to see, but why is there such a strong attraction!

He thought that he was well-read, he had read all kinds of subjects, and he was already immune to horror comics, but he didn't expect to be scared out of a cold sweat after a long absence.

Looking at Osamu Tezuka again, he also looked dumbfounded.

"Teacher, don't worry," Konosuke Tanaka hurriedly comforted, "This work is too monotonous, it's just a hunt to attract attention, and it won't have any impact on sales at all!" As soon as most people see so many words in the grid, they skip it directly! ”

There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts.

Even if Li Shanhe's comics are too good, it is difficult to form a frontal impact, and in the face of Osamu Tezuka, who has already stood at the peak, he can't do cross-level crushing, so he can't be completely recognized as the success of God Butcher.

Osamu Tezuka's face was ugly, and it took a long time before he said:

"I'm not afraid of being surpassed, but ...... Do you remember what he said to me? ”

"What?"

"My work is too dark and frightens children, he said. But he went against the norm and painted such a work with a dark style that would not increase sales! Osamu Tezuka subconsciously clenched the pages of the book, "He's challenging me, this story conveys a message: it's not that I don't want to draw this kind of story, it's that I don't care about it!" ”

I'll go, it's really arrogant, and I actually challenge the field that Osamu Tezuka is good at!

Who doesn't know, Osamu Tezuka is not a manga artist who eats old books. He uses the rich imagination as a selling point, and has tried all kinds of themes, and now, the other party has just found a field that Tezuka has not been involved in, and he dares to jump so happily?

Konosuke Tanaka rolled his eyes and said, "Teacher, then you must be able to surpass him, right?" Be sure to draw a more wonderful one and fight back! ”

Osamu Tezuka snorted, although he was reluctant, he really couldn't think of the same type of story in a short time, this should be a whole new genre......

After discussing it for a while, Osamu Tezuka picked up the magazine again and flipped through the highlight of this time: "Doraemon".

Because the first issue has just been released, the plot is difficult to develop, and although a few small stories are interesting, they have not yet let readers know a few characters, and they cannot achieve a chain effect.

"This is the work that the other party used to fight against "Sea Prince"? It's not good, isn't it? Konosuke Tanaka said.

After flipping through "Doraemon", Tezuka closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

Konosuke Tanaka pouted, there is nothing attractive about this story, it is plain, ordinary, no bizarre superpowers, no life and death feud, no suspense, no moving, and there are no elements of a big sale at all!

No wonder we will be more than 10,000 sales!

At this level, it can't be compared with "Sea Prince" at the beginning!

Tezuka opened his eyes and exhaled, "No, this imagination is very powerful." ”

"What?"

"Drawers are things we see everywhere in our daily lives, but who would have thought that there would be a time machine in them?" Osamu Tezuka nodded, "Although it is an old-fashioned plot structure of Fujiko Fujio, the imagination in this is really extraordinary." ”

"So, what is the main line of this comic?"

"There is no main line, it is the same unit drama as "Miss Conch". It is precisely because of its simplicity that it can be drawn for a long time and its reputation is stable. ”

"Miss Conch"?

Hearing this evaluation,Konosuke Tanaka was shocked.,This work can be said to be the longest serialized manga in Japan.,From 1946 serialized to the present,Anime has always been the first in the ratings of the same time period.,Even Tezuka's fame can't be compared at all.。

This is the toughest opponent.

"Worthy of being my disciple. It's very ambitious. Osamu Tezuka frowned, "Now, it's really difficult." ”

Konosuke Tanaka looked over and over again, but he couldn't find where the attraction was, and he was in a hurry.

Osamu Tezuka said, "Don't waste time, if you understand the psychology of children, you can become a manga artist who surpasses me." You don't have a childlike heart. ”

"Teacher, what should we do, are we really going to go out of business......

"Don't bother me, sales are your business. I'm inspired, give me pen and paper! ……”

----

At the same time, in Li Shanhe's apartment and workshop, he patiently explained to Saotome Maiko.

"The competition with "Young Black Feeding the Dog" has come to an end, and you don't need to overpower the other party at the beginning, so you just need to overtake it slowly. It's good to give the other person a temporary lead, numb their nerves, and then surpass the past in one fell swoop, and watch the other person cry in despair. ”

"Really, teacher! But I can't understand how this work has potential! ”

"You can't understand because you don't have a childlike heart!"

Li Shanhe snorted and threw a finished sketch from his desk to the assistant's seat. He got up and moved his arms and legs.

There are only a few works that have sold more than 100 million in Japan. "Doraemon" is among them, and in the history of manga, it is a super masterpiece that can be compared to "Astro Boy"!

Now let Tezuka draw the same level! This kind of work is hard to come by! You're not satisfied!

Maiko Saotome threw down the magazine and walked around the studio, she still felt very uneasy: "Teacher, it's all this time, if you lie to me, I, I, I'll cry to you!" ”

Li Shanhe glanced at her and put his legs on another stool. Maiko hurriedly came over to help beat her legs and pinched her shoulders.

Li Shanhe nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, the start of "Doraemon" is slow, but there is a lot of stamina!" In less than a month, it will definitely be able to come back! ”

"Then I'll take it seriously, and I'll report it to the president!"

Maiko breathed a sigh of relief, since the teacher said so, it wouldn't be wrong.

"How much time is left?"

"Ten minutes to go." Maiko looked up at her watch, "One more thing, Hiroshi Fujimoto helped with a lot of manga artists, and when they saw your "Five Million Things", they were full of praise. ”

Li Shanhe moved the chair to the wall, stepped on it, took down the clock, and turned back the time by 20 minutes.

"Oh, really?"

Maiko helped push the chair back into place: "Teacher, you may not think so, but it seems that after seeing this work, they all think of you as their own." ”

Li Shanhe poured a coke, collapsed on the chair, and raced against time to rest. "That's because I've been drawing long stories since my debut."

It is normal for a cartoonist to make his debut with a wonderful short story, then accumulate fame and skills, and only launch a well-thought-out long-form serialization after being favored by the magazine.

Therefore, after seeing Li Shanhe's short story, everyone felt very cordial, and it is not surprising that the original admiration in their hearts suddenly burst out of the embankment and was praised by others.

"I don't draw short stories because short stories don't make money. This time it's just a temporary helplessness. ”

An assistant raised his head and asked curiously, "Short stories don't make money?" ”

"Draw yours well, eavesdrop on something." Li Shanhe snorted, and then said to Wuzi: "What kind of comics do you think are good comics?" ”

This question is the first question Li Shanhe asked when interviewing his assistant. Hearing him say this, everyone's ears pricked up.

"Of course it's a funny comic!" Maiko interfaced.

"That was my answer before, and now, it's changed."

Li Shanhe shook his head and changed his leg, and Wuzi hurriedly squeezed it hard in his hand.

"There are two kinds of comics, one is 'interesting' comics, and the other is 'readers want to see' comics."

The eavesdropping assistants were confused: "What do you mean?" Aren't these two answers the same? ”

"Of course it's different. Is "Five Million" interesting? Interesting. But its sales will not be good, because there are many words, there are few people, there is no murder, there is no love, the structure is simple, and it is dark and oppressive......"

Maiko didn't think it was right: "It's not that bad, is it?" Other cartoonists have received rave reviews. ”

"Cartoonists are just a small group and don't represent a wide audience. As you can see from the final statistics, there aren't too many people who give "Five Million" a good review. ”

Maiko's hand suddenly stopped, and said in a little panic: "Then, what should we do this time......

At that moment, there was a knock on the door connecting the studio to the apartment.

A middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth stuck his head in: "It's time!" After the break, let's draw my "Monster Taro"! ”

Li Shanhe coughed and said, "You are wrong, there are still 20 minutes." ”

The editor looked up and sneered, "Change the hand of the clock?" This trick has already been used by Fujiko Fujio, it's not that simple! Let's get to work! ”

Fujiko Fujio! You really don't give people a way to live!

Saotome Maiko took two steps back: "Damn, why did time pass so quickly, ah, the teacher doesn't belong to me alone, I really want to take him away......"

The middle-aged man looked at her vigilantly: "Hey, if you want to stuff cans, you'll offend everyone!" It's the fourth floor, so you can't get anywhere! ”

"I didn't expect that I would have a day when I was stuffed with canned food when I delivered the manuscript on time." Li Shanhe sighed. (To be continued.) )
