Osamu Tezuka is no easy opponent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Others can put their hopes on Li Shanhe, and Li Shanhe must be up to the spirit.

Even if there is a golden finger, it is not so easy to win, because Tezuka has several works that are classics that are difficult to surpass.

"What is Tezuka's intended work to be serialized on "Shonen Black Feeding the Dog"? I remember, there are more than a dozen works that he is serializing, right? ”

Osamu Tezuka is not only the god of creation, but also a god of high production, and at the same time, serializing N works is simply commonplace for him, with an output of 1024 Yoshihiro Tomiyatsu. Compared with Li Shanhe, who always plays tickets across borders, he is more like the hero of the novel.

Saotome Maiko flipped through the information and saw the long serial list, her face couldn't help but change, and it took a long time to explain:

"If we estimate in the worst case, the opponent we will face is likely to be the sequel to "The Great Forest Emperor", "The Great Lion King".

As soon as he heard the name of "The Great Forest", the conference room immediately became silent.

This work can be said to be a milestone in the history of Japanese animation, how dick does it have? In 1994, Disney copied "The Forest King" to create "The Lion King". In the field of animation, "The Forest Emperor" is second only to "Astro Boy".

If it's really this work, everyone doesn't have to compare, wash and sleep.

Editor-in-chief Fukasawa clapped his hands: "Don't worry, it's just the worst-case scenario." For such a large work, if you move home, the loss of popularity is not small, and the Shogakukan may not be able to compensate for it. ”

Everyone's expressions have eased for a while.,Yes.,Elementary school hall begging Tezuka to attract popularity.,Don't be so bloody.。

Maiko continued: "In addition to this one, Tezuka keeps weekly and monthly updates in Shogakukan's magazine, a total of six works, and this time they poached it, it is likely that it is "Dororo", which was serialized in "Shonen Sunday". ”

Hearing this name, Li Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief, "Dororo" is a popular monster manga in recent years, with high quality, but compared with several other works of Tezuka, it is much worse.

"The Great of the Forest", it is difficult for him to win; "Dororo", there is no suspense that it should win.

Despite this, Li Shanhe did not take it lightly. His painting skills have improved so much in a few months.,Osamu Tezuka, a guy who seems to be the hero of the novel.,Maybe something will hang up.。

"Maiko, do you have a manga from Dororo? I'm going to refer to it. ”

"Ah, yes, a reference room was built not long ago, and most of the comics on the market have a copy. I'll give you a copy. ”

Maiko got up and was about to go to the reference room, but when she pushed open the door of the conference room, she found a figure sitting on the bench outside.

The man stood up, took off his hat and shook it, and said, "Is the meeting over?" ”

Everyone in the conference room stood up in surprise, bowed and saluted, "Tezuka-sensei!" ”

This person turned out to be Osamu Tezuka! He came in person!

Although the two sides are competitors now, no one dares to disrespect Osamu Osamu Tezuka, who founded the modern commercial manga, and everyone here relies on him to have a bite to eat.

Fukasawa Kuan next to him moved a few steps quietly, and whispered in Li Shanhe's ear: "Teacher, you have to be careful not to say the wrong thing, Tezuka is notoriously willful." ”

Li Shanhe nodded: "I know." ”

Tezuka walked to the very edge of the conference table, knocked on the table, and nodded to everyone, "No need to be polite. I'm here to talk to Mr. Luo Wuyong. ”

Two people actually know each other?

Everyone was very surprised, Li Shanhe's painting style has become its own school, and the Tezuka system is no longer a monopoly, but has become a trend of resistance. In private discussions, it was believed that this was because Li Shanhe had never been "polluted" by Tezuka wind.

Now they say that the two have known each other for a long time? Could it be that there is something else going on in it?

Gathered by the eyes of so many people, Li Shanhe had no choice but to stand up: "Mr. Tezuka, I was thanks to your guidance last time." ”

Osamu Tezuka said, "It's been a long time, Mr. Ai Luo Wuyong." I didn't expect you to be on the same stage as me so soon. You are the most talented young man I have ever met, besides me. ”

Are you praising me or yourself?

Li Shanhe was speechless, I was so stingy with praise last time, otherwise I wouldn't have gone so hard, I would have been serialized together on "Young Sunday".

Looking at other people's expressions, it seems that it is a very difficult thing to be praised by Tezuka.

Osamu Tezuka paused and said, "Presumably, you should know the news that I am going to be serialized in "Young Black Feeding Dogs". ”

Li Shanhe nodded and responded, "Yes." We are meeting to discuss this. ”

"I know this competition is important to you. However, the president of the Shogakukan personally invited me and gave me a loan of 25 million. My animation company needs this money very much, so I'm sorry, Mr. Takeshi Ara, I won't show mercy to your men. ”

A loan of 25 million?

Everyone was shocked, and then a thought of disbelief surged in their hearts.

The Shogakukan is pressing people with money again! It's amazing to be rich, you can dig whoever you want? It's so unfair!

Although it is simple and crude, this trick really works. Although Osamu Tezuka is a leading manga master, his business talent is average, and the animation company has been hovering on the edge of a deficit, and it is difficult for Tezuka to refuse such a large sum of money.

Shueisha now has a little bit of a family, but they just want to copy, and they can't find a manga artist of the same level to let them spend money.

When I thought of the president of the other party, I smirked at the fact that I had polluted the competition with money, and re-polluted it again and again, and everyone felt like eating a fly. Although I was upset, I couldn't find a way to deal with it.

At this moment, a panting man ran over from the other side of the corridor: "Tezuka-sensei! So you're here, you're on the wrong track! This is Shueisha! The Shogakukan is over there......"

This person is the manga editor in charge of Tezuka's new work.

"No, that's right, I'm here to say hello." Tezuka refused the other party's pull, and then he turned around and said, "I'm here to announce one thing, in addition to the "Dororo" that I have immigrated, I will also learn from Mr. Oro Takeyong, and serialize two new works. ”

And two?

Everyone was shocked again, one is very difficult to deal with, it turned out to be three works serialized at one time?

Editor-in-chief Fukasawa and Li Shanhe glanced at each other, this is a bar.

Even if Li Shanhe opened the golden finger, there are only three "Crayon Xiaoxin", "The Legend of the Galaxy Heroes" and "Galaxy Railway 999" in serialization at the same time. Tezuka is really as rumored.,A very childish guy.,You have three.,I have to have three!

Looking at everyone's surprised expressions, Tezuka didn't get carried away. He said: "The first one is a comic called "Qizi". There may be some techniques borrowed from "Galaxy Railway 666", but don't get me wrong, I just think you are very good at drawing women, and I want to try to see if I can have the same level! ”

"Qizi"?

And when Li Shanhe heard this name, he understood why Tezuka would come to tell him.

He happened to have seen this work, in a word, "Qizi" is the material used by teenagers in the seventies!

Moral torture, loli imprisonment, brother and sister chaos, girl in the box...... And so on in later generations can be regarded as a heavy taste of the mouth material, was drawn by Osamu Tezuka in the seventies! It simply shattered the reader's discipline! There is one more piece of evidence for the suspected traverser!

If there is no Li Shanhe, "Qizi" is indeed a very famous comic that caused a sensation. But now, it is difficult for anyone to leave the framework of "Galaxy Railway 666......

Li Shanhe looked up to the sky and sighed, did I really become the founder of Gongkou Comics? it! Even Tezuka has to come to the pier before following suit? Is it that exaggerated?

Osamu Tezuka paused for a moment to give everyone time to digest, and then continued:

"The second work is a young boy manga, which tells the story of a sea tribe prince who comes into contact with humans. It's a pity, but with "Prince of the Seas", I've already won this time. ”

It turned out to be "Sea Prince"!

He was not afraid of "Qizi", but when he heard this name, Li Shanhe's heart immediately sank.

Tezuka has produced countless works in his lifetime, but only a handful of them can be broadcast on the mainland in the eighties and nineties. "Sea Prince" happens to be one of them, known as "the origin of modern Japanese animation".

"Sea Prince", also known as "Little Dragon", is a milestone summary of Osamu Tezuka's decades-long manga career. Its plot draws on the essence of "The Forest King", and every collision between the human race and the sea tribe, the Wyvern and the Bolton tribe is so exciting; is similar to the story of the traditional myth "Momotaro", where the mysterious boy who was picked up embarks on an adventure; There is also a torture of good and evil in human nature, a great reversal of good and evil, and so on......

What's even more troublesome is that this is still a young manga!

Young comics represent a large base of readers and have huge commercial value!

Young comics mean that they do not have high requirements for rationality and logic. But the demands on imagination are unparalleled!

Young Comic ...... This fertile land is Tezuka's strong point! But it is a field that Li Shanhe has never been involved in!

All of a sudden, the editors in the conference room were a little desperate, what to choose was not good, but they chose the combination of meat + young manga! Perfect coverage of word-of-mouth and sales!

That little editor was almost scared to pee, and he felt like his heart was beating a hundred miles faster by being stared at with murderous eyes by so many editors. He desperately pulled the wide cuffs of the tezuka, urging him to leave quickly.

Osamu Tezuka sighed and put his hat on: "Teacher Ailuo Wuyong, I hope to see a wonderful duel with you." Please don't throw in the towel so quickly, go for it. ”

His morale is low, but Tezuka wants to leave with a swagger. If Li Shanhe doesn't do something, he won't have to compare this time.

He suddenly said in a loud voice:

"Tezuka-sensei, please wait a minute."

"Oh?" Osamu Tezuka stopped and turned around.

"Tezuka-sensei. People say that my style is a challenge to the system you've built over the decades, but I don't think so. What do you think is the biggest difference between us? ”

Osamu Tezuka said a little unnaturally: "It's your painting style that is cleaner and more organized." ”

When the two first met, Li Shanhe thought that comics should "use less shadows", and Tezuka just forgot about it at that time.

Who would have thought that in just a few weeks, a clean, bright, and clean work would be on the market, and even Tezuka secretly asked his assistant to buy it, and he copied this style in his nest.

However, today, Li Shanhe shook his head and said, "Clean, I'm not just talking about the style of painting. The plot of the work should be just as clean! ”

Tezuka frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"Tezuka-sensei, I'm really inferior to you in terms of the depth of the subject matter, but the manga I want to draw is a manga that can make readers laugh happily! ——

- Your heart is too heavy, and it is reflected in your work that there are often dark plots!

That's the biggest difference between us! ”

In his previous life, Li Shanhe's first work that came into contact with Tezuka was "Three-Eyed Boy" broadcast on TV. The plot of this work has long been forgotten, and what remains in the memory is more of a sense of fear of ancient gods, ancient legends and mysterious worlds.

Being so criticized by a junior, even Osamu Tezuka has changed color a little. He was never afraid of offense, but he knew that today it was not an offense, but a challenge!

Tezuka's work is somewhat obscure, and he always likes to discuss human nature and change in manga, which is related to his life experience. He is also very proud of this, along with all the cartoonists who have influenced him for decades to come.

And Li Shanhe brought comics to the direction of "entertainment to death"!

Osamu Tezuka finally understands where the decisive difference is between him and Li Shanhe.

It's a battle for the right to speak! Decide the future of manga in Japan!

It's not about competition and competition, it's just a clash of routes and styles!

"I see, if you think you're doing the right thing, then your challenge is welcome. I admit that you have this qualification, and I will not show mercy! ”

Who knows, Li Shanhe bowed and smiled: "I'm just the opposite, you are a senior, I will make a light move, and I won't let you lose so ugly." ”

Tezuka's face darkened, and he turned away without saying a word, deciding in his heart that he must ponder the original manuscript several more times and beat this arrogant guy all over the ground begging for mercy!

Li Shanhe looked at Tezuka's back, and his heart was not as unsettled as it seemed on the surface.

It's not a fair race.

Tezuka lost, and the impact was not great, he was still the creator god and the supreme god; Li Shanhe won, and he can't omit the time it takes to accumulate fame.

At most, it can be regarded as the first head-to-head confrontation between the two. The real right to speak should continue to create classic works, and let their influence spread little by little.

However, no one wants to lose!

At this time, Maiko, who had gone to the reference room to make a copy, came back with the manuscript of "Dororo". She waved the stack of copies and said:

"Teacher, look what I've found! Comparing Tezuka's works together, I found that his style has changed more and more! ”

Li Shanhe picked up the manuscript and looked at it, and sure enough, from the first sentence to the last sentence, he had begun to gradually have Li Shanhe's style, with fine backgrounds, sharp storyboards, and gradually realistic character proportions......

It's worthy of Tezuka.,Integrate other people's strengths with yourself so quickly.,But you haven't lost your core.。 It seems that "Dororo" is just his experimental work.

He frowned, such an enemy is the most terrifying, constantly learning, constantly improving, without the slightest fear that he is already the supreme god in the comic industry.

The other people in the conference room had the same expression when they looked at the manuscript, the enemy this time was too strong! Tezuka is obviously supposed to be the final boss, but he suddenly stood up at this time, and it was too out of order!

Editor-in-chief Fukasawa came over at this time, and he said with some uneasiness:

"Sensei, since you dare to provoke Tezuka, you must have prepared a work that can surpass him, right?"

Who knows, Li Shanhe shook his head: "If it's "The Sea Prince", I can't win." ”

As soon as these words came out, someone panicked and said, "What? Did even Mr. Ai Luo Wuyong admit defeat? ”

"Sure enough, you should still ask Tezuka-sensei's subordinates to be merciful!"

"Yes, yes, there's another way! Let's resume the serialization of "666"! With 666, we can definitely win! My wife and I are big readers! ”

"Don't be stupid, the PTA is staring here, you don't want the magazine to be classified as a harmful book! ……”

Looking at the people who had bad ideas, Li Shanhe knocked on the table to calm everyone down.

He looked around and sighed:

"Just because I can't win doesn't mean we're going to lose. Why do we follow Tezuka's train of thought? ”

Kuan Fukasawa said with some surprise, "What do you mean?" ”

"Tezuka is too strong. I'm not afraid of the quality of the work, but compared to fame, I have no chance of winning...... So this time, I needed the help of one person. ”

"Who?"

Li Shanhe slowly spoke: "You guys, do you have the address of Mr. Fujiko Fujio?" ”
