Chapter 122: First!

There are many large lengths of Doraemon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Fujiko Fujio personally wrote 17 of the "Iron Man Corps" is Li Shanhe's favorite one, with beautiful girls, touching scenes, and a warm finale......

But the more important reason for choosing it this time is that it is interested in its commercial value.

The situation with "Shonen Jump" is not optimistic.

In the third round of the competition with "Shonen Black Feeding the Dog", "Shonen Jump" was overshadowed in the release and fell behind. If you sell 10,000 copies a day, it's 70,000 copies a week!

You know, "Shonen Jump" was 100,000 ahead before! In other words, with the great god Yu Wei of Tsukasa Osamu insects, the Shogakukan caught up with nearly 170,000 sales!

Not only in terms of distribution, but this time the Shogakukan is really black and white, digging people, splashing dirty water, and all kinds of small actions emerge in an endless stream, which makes Shueisha tired to cope.

In this state, he urgently needs a shot of strength, so he chose "Iron Man Corps".

The robot in "Iron Man Corps", Shanda Cross, is obviously a tribute to the Gundam series from the body setting. But now in 1968, "Gundam" has not yet been born, and such a handsome robot is undoubtedly very eye-catching.

Originally, I wanted to catch up with several companies that made animation, but who would have thought that the first sincere partner turned out to be Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Company, which specializes in special effects.

The two sides hit it off, quickly reached the terms of cooperation, and then held a press conference.

"Iron Man Corps is not at all the level of ordinary children's comics!"

"This is the most touching work I've ever seen!"

"With so many big-selling elements, it's all made to the standards of a movie! It's going to be on fire! ”

"I am very confident in our cooperation!"

Tsuburaya shook Li Shanhe's hand enthusiastically, and the two sides held the enlarged contract in front of the flash, murdering the reporters' films.

After the public interview stage was completed, Tsuburaya named several media outlets for follow-up interviews and shooting. was going to invite Li Shanhe to follow, but he was politely declined with a smile.

As soon as he returned to the lounge, Li Shanhe couldn't take a break, so he lay on the table to catch up with the draft, and the dancer on the side fanned him with a fan distressedly.

"How's the sales going?" Li Shanhe asked while drawing.

"It's expected that sales will be 50,000 behind this week," Maiko fanned hard, "but after our news is broadcast on TV tonight, there will definitely be a big upswing!" ”

"Don't worry, stabilize yourself first. Osamu Tezuka is not so easy to win. ”

"Alas, it would be nice if the editor-in-chief wanted to be there, but he was sick at such an important moment. Teacher, you have to rush Fujiko Fujio's manuscripts, and you have to plan for publication, doing the work of editor-in-chief, and one person can use five or six people, which is really ......."

"Someone once said to me, 'No matter how much work I do, I'm confident that I will not finish it until the end,' and it's also a valuable experience to experience the work of other cartoonists once in a while." Although Li Shanhe was smiling on his face, the hand holding the pen turned pale because of the exertion, and he asked casually, "By the way, did Fujiko Fujio find it?" ”

"Sorry, not yet, their hometown said someone saw it, but when I arrived, they ran away again......"

"Hmph, then don't blame me for destroying the flowers with my hot hands, killing all the characters, and then leaving the ending to dig a hole and not fill it, and put it in "Doraemon" to give them a new life...... Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

It seems that the teacher has been under too much pressure lately.

Maiko shuddered, and quietly moved her steps out a few steps, there is no shortage of blades in the editorial department recently, and it seems that there will be no shortage of blades in the next few years.

The nightly news of this day was the beginning of Shueisha's turnaround.

As soon as the news of the cooperation between "Iron Man Corps" and Ultraman was broadcast, it immediately occupied the headlines of the entertainment pages of major newspapers.

Don't underestimate Ultraman, although it is a young work, it has an unparalleled influence in Japan.

If you ask about the most watched children's works in this era, there is no doubt that it is the "Ultraman" series of special dramas!

"Astro Boy" has an average rating of only 30%, which has already made Osamu Tezuka a god. On average, one in three families is watching, which makes the single-digit ratings of later generations envious to death; But in the era when "Ultraman" was ravaging TV stations, the lowest rating was 30%!

Ultraman represents the champion guarantee of Japanese ratings!

It's a pity that these are all old calendars. As producer Hidei Tsuburaya grows in his second year, the company's vitality is declining, and the ratings of the newly released "Ultraman Seven" have gradually dropped to 22%.

It's still an unattainable number for other companies, and it's a shame for the Ultraman series!

Therefore, the president of the newcomer society, Tsuburaya, can't wait to come to cooperate, wanting to borrow Li Shanhe's fame, use the gimmick of the giant robot, and the dynamic superman of "Crayon Xiaoxin", and plan to launch a series of spin-offs.

The rotten ship also has three catties of nails, Ultraman Yu Wei is still there, Shueisha has successfully borrowed this shareholder wind, and sales are rising.

Children don't understand the logic of the adult world, they just know that Ultraman is going to cooperate with Doraemon, what? Haven't you seen Doraemon? I'm going to be bullied in kindergarten.,Hurry home and cry with your parents for a new comic.。

So, on the second day of the news broadcast, the sales of "Shonen Jump" skyrocketed.

This hand is really tricky, killing the Shogakukan by surprise, the president panicked and dispatched troops, but the powerful general Sakamoto Yamama picked a child, and for a while he had to hurriedly find Toei Company and announce the start of the animation process of "Sea Prince".

The hole cards of both sides are exhausted, entangled together, and it is difficult to solve the kill, today you have more than 2,000 sales, tomorrow I will exceed 1,000, both sides are working at full speed, so that their authors rack their brains, launch more and more wonderful works, but let readers be addicted.

Shogakukan is a traditional shrine with a lot of talented authors. The main pillar of Shueisha is Li Shanhe now, but it has also recruited many potential newcomers, and both sides are rapidly tempering and growing in this big war.

In a sense, this competition is also a good thing.

What broke the deadlock was the fourth issue of the "Iron Man Corps" serial. The content of the last issue happened to be in the world of the mirror, and this issue should be the appearance of Sumire Hoshino.

Tuesday, release day.

The president of the primary school hall personally sits in the sales, and now the competition between the two sides has reached the white-hot stage, and the palace is about to close, and there is no room for loss, if you fall behind at this time, the remaining time is simply not enough to turn the tables!

"It seems that Osamu Tezuka can't suppress that Chinese, it's really terrifying...... Why can he serialize so many works alone? Who else can overcome him? ”

He understands that fame cannot be realistically converted into sales figures, but he didn't expect that he had played all the cards he could play, and the final situation was a stalemate.

Looking at the sales figures reported from various places, the president felt bitter.

In the war between the two sides, the spies were cleaned up, and the small methods of the book wholesale company were also used, and it was impossible to obtain real-time sales statistics. He didn't know the exact number of Shueisha, only that he should be a little behind the other side.

Is there any potential that can be tapped? He sat in the minister's chair in the distribution department, watching his subordinates go about their work, thinking to himself.

At this moment, the newly appointed head of the sales department, Xiao Tianlan, ran over and shouted:

"Oh no, President, Shueisha has suddenly held a press conference!"

The president stood up in surprise and shouted, "What! On such an important Tuesday, what are they doing when they don't keep an eye on the sales of this issue and hold a press conference? ”

The top bosses are so uncalm, and the employees are also panicking.

Only then did the president realize his mistake, pinched his palm, and forced himself to pretend to be confident, and then he took Oda Lan and the two to a nearby video room, which was the nearest place to place the TV.

When he turned on the TV, Oda Lan was still a little apprehensive and said, "Shueisha just announced Ultraman's cooperation not long ago, what are you going to do this time?" ”

The president is also worried, here he is not afraid of showing timidity in front of the employees, he keeps biting his nails.

On TV, he saw his nemesis, the president of Shueisha.

The president of Shueisha is no longer convinced of his original decadent appearance. He was wearing a suit of high-end fabrics, holding a manuscript in high spirits, and sitting in front of the camera.

He smiled at the audience and read:

"According to the news just counted, the sales of our "Shonen Jump" broke through the 910,000 mark last week!"

Nine hundred and one thousand?

Does this number have any special significance?

The president of Shueisha deliberately waited a few seconds for everyone to digest this fact before smiling and saying:

"Because of the recent decline in sales of "Shonen Sunday", our "Shonen Jump" has become the new manga magazine sales champion with 910,000 sales!"

Best-selling champion!

The president of the Elementary School Museum in front of the TV was dark, and he finally understood what he had been ignoring all along!

It was he, who personally ordered the transfer of Osamu Tezuka's serialization on "Shonen Sunday", and sales plummeted; It was also him, who personally supervised the formation, and in the non-stop fighting, he made the other party grow up step by step!

A series of consequences, that is, the other party has grown to the current point! Not only surpassed "Young Black Feeding Dogs", but even went further, even "Young Sunday" was surpassed!

Thinking of the next knock-on effect, he grunted and fell to the ground.

No wonder Sakamoto has been looking for an excuse to strike, it turns out that she expected it!

Listening to the anxious shouts of the people around him, he really wished that he could not sleep like this......

---

The sales champion who has dominated the comic industry for many years has changed hands like this.

"Juvenile Sunday" and "Juvenile Magazine" have been running for many years, and everyone thought that they would continue to fight, who would have thought that a magazine that had only been established for a few months would come out like a dark horse and steal this supreme honor.

The next day's newspapers followed up on the topic.

It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked, it turns out that the history of "Shonen Jump" is full of so many legends!

The use of low-cost paper and cheap color printing has greatly reduced the price of comics, which is a revolutionary initiative;

The editor-in-chief, who was depressed at the Shogakukan and planned to leave his job, suddenly created this powerful new star in the comic industry;

He has a discerning eye and employs powerful cartoonists from mysterious China; Almost single-handedly against the entire Japanese manga industry; Gun picks Tezuka to Osamu insects; Space opera enters the world of comics; creating the genre of psychic horror; Funny Master; Master of Human Sketching......

I'll give it a go, this is just a plot in a movie!

No one cares about the second, and the public's eyes are always focused on the first. All of a sudden, it seemed as if all of Japan was focused on this small magazine.

All kinds of TV, newspapers, and entertainment programs have spared no effort to dig into this topic, and the old employees who have been fired, and the newcomer cartoonists who have been rejected for their contributions, will take revenge on the old club together, which in itself is enough to write a legendary novel!

Sales are also taking advantage of the rising tide to rise, and originally "Young Black Feeding the Dog" could still fight, but as soon as this news hotspot came out, it was thrown off three streets at once.

Breaking one million is expected!

The day after the president of the Shogakukan was admitted to the hospital, he still refused to admit defeat and struggled to conduct in the hospital.

But at this time, new news came:

Shueisha announced that in view of the good operating momentum of the magazine, Fujiko Fujio, Ishiaki Moritaro, Akatsuka Fujio, Komatsu Sakyo ......

A large number of manga artists join "Shonen Jump"!

This time, the general trend has been achieved, it is really real, and it is impossible to turn over!

"Teacher, you are so insidious, no wonder you have kept these people's works from being printed."

Li Shanhe is no longer the handsome and chic appearance, and his long career in rushing to the manuscript has made him have no time to take care of personal hygiene, and it is not much different from Fujiko Fujio who was stuffed with canned food that day.

He rubbed the old mud pills on his buckle rope, sat crookedly on the chair, and said while rushing the manuscript: "I just don't want those guys to be serialized with me, I didn't think about it so much." ”

Maiko didn't believe it, she had a deep understanding of the teacher's black belly.

"I heard that the president of the Elementary School Hall was hospitalized by you, and the entire Elementary School Hall lost their fighting spirit. If they knew that these cartoonists had only drawn a short story instead of a long-term serialization, they would definitely vomit blood in anger. ”

"Then what are you still doing here, why don't you hurry up and keep a few cartoonists?" Li Shanhe finished painting a sketch and gave it to his assistant, and sighed, "I only know now how wise the exclusive contract of "Shonen Jump" is, and it is really not a human life to be serialized in N magazines at the same time. Maybe someone will be willing to join us. ”

"That's someone else's job, my job is to help the teacher take care of your daily chores, and any opinions you have on the operation of the magazine are also passed on by me."

Li Shanhe glanced at her: "Your ability to be the editor-in-chief is actually more than enough, I just use my mouth, and you do it." ”

Maiko covered her mouth and smiled: "Teacher, are you praising me again, trying to trick me into working overtime?" I'm not fooled. Just do your edits, and you're satisfied. ”

At this moment, Li Shanhe stretched his waist and lay on the ground on his back:

"Finallyβ€”it's done! Damn! These days are finally over! ”

After a long canning career, we can finally see the light of day again!

Maiko walked over, carefully sorted out the freshly baked manuscript, and then handed it to the assistants, and brought the finished product to the editors outside the door.

Not long ago, after a series of chaotic canning careers, Shueisha was furious, this is our pillar! It's not for you to mess around!

So, after the consultation, the place where the sketch was drawn was changed to the Shueisha building, and there were all kinds of assistants, and there were also a lot of people to help with the ideas for each issue, and in addition to the replacement of the editor-in-chief Fukazawa, the operation rules were regulated, and with the joint efforts of many parties, I was able to barely cope.

Now, those days are finally over! All of Fujiko Fujio's manga have been drawn to the end of the sentence!

If you don't want the characters to be really killed and the serialization ends, these magazines can only restrain their actions and wait for Fujiko Fujio to really return!

Liberated! Universally overjoyed! (To be continued.) )
