"Give me a little longer, please?" Maiko begged, "My teacher and I still have a lot of work to explain......

"No! It was agreed that you could only rest for 10 minutes! The editor coldly refused. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"No, we agreed to rest until 16:30." Li Shanhe turned his chair and said, "This watch was originally 30 points faster, and I just adjusted it back to its normal position." So, what you think is a 10-minute break is actually a 40-minute break...... I have half an hour to rest, and you can come back in half an hour. ”

Nani?

The editor was dumbfounded, and there was still this trick? Adjusting the clock in advance to get more time off?

Li Shanhe shrugged: "If you don't believe it, you can go and look at the watches worn by others." Isn't it just past 16 o'clock? ”

Hehe, fight with me.

Looking at the editor's appearance as if he was a dog, Maiko's heart blossomed: "I didn't expect that your bullying tricks, teacher, would be so comfortable to use on others." It seems that the notoriety of the teacher is going to spread all over the comic circle. ”

"What a notoriety, I'm fighting for my own legitimate rights and interests, okay! None of this is my job! ”

Maiko sighed: "Yes, the thought of sharing the teacher with others is really unwilling......"

Li Shanhe gave her a braincase: "What is sharing, don't say such misleading words!" I'm still looking for a girlfriend! ”

"Alas, in short, Fujiko Fujio-sensei is really excessive!"

As soon as he talked about Fujiko Fujio, Li Shanhe's face was full of unhappiness.

Miss me Li Shanhe! After many years in Japan, I don't know how many people have been abducted and deceived, but I capsized in the gutter again, and was deceived by the seemingly innocent Fujimoto Hiroshi!

When the contract was drawn up that day, Fujimoto Hiroshi added a clause at the end, "If the writer doesn't have time to serialize, others are obliged to help draw it." ”

It's waiting here to pit him!

Just earlier today, a large group of editors suddenly appeared outside his apartment, and it turned out that Hiroshi Fujimoto and Suo Yasuko, under great pressure to urge the manuscript, suddenly disappeared.

This time, it's not a can, but a real runaway!

All of a sudden, all the serialization was on his head! A bunch of editors have drafts in one hand and contracts in the other, forcing him to draw the finished draft.

Damn, Hiroshi Fujimoto! Ahn grandson Suo-woong! Remember it for me!

If this wasn't the fourth floor, if the door wasn't blocked by a bunch of editors, I'd definitely hunt you down to death!

"Teacher, let's continue the topic just now, what is the charm of 'Doraemon'?" What's the difference between 'fun' manga and 'readers want to read' manga? ”

Li Shanhe glanced at her: "The people in the magazine asked you to ask, right?" ”

"Ah, sure enough, the teacher saw it. As soon as Editor-in-Chief Fukasawa got sick, these guys began to get distracted. Maiko stuck out her tongue. I've been working together for so long, and I still don't believe in the strength of the teacher, these guys really can't learn well.

Li Shanhe shook his head, "Okay, you write down my words and go back and repeat them to those people, so that you can calm their hearts." ”

He slid the swivel chair to the workbench, took a ruler and placed it on the table, and gestured:

"These are two different evolutionary directions. The reader's mind is like a river, with all kinds of thoughts mixed together. ”

He flicked the ruler with his fingers: "'Interesting' comics are like splitting the waves with a knife against the river, slamming into the blind spots of the reader's thinking from an unprecedented angle, shocking them and making the waves stir up waves." ”

"Isn't that a great piece?"

"Here's the question, have you made waves and asked the reader? A big river has wide waves, how many waves can one person make? How many people pay? Li Shanhe spread his hands, "If you go down this road, the ultimate is cult, literature and art, and the minority, which may be praised as a masterpiece by insiders, but for the public, only a few will be accepted." Most manga artists make their debut in short stories, but that's actually the way they go. ”

It sounds very reasonable, but Maiko thought about it for a long time, but she was still confused, so she had to say: "Then, what is the difference between 'readers want to see'?" ”

"It's a different river." Li Shanhe picked up a compass again and put it next to the ruler, "What about the tide of this river, they collect the scattered wishes of the readers, conform to the readers' thinking, just like catching small fish, gather their hidden preferences in the subconscious, and make up stories." ”

"You mean ......" Maiko kind of understood now.

"For a cartoonist, 'fun' can increase his popularity, but for magazines, 'readers want to read' comics, which is the key to increasing sales."

Li Shanhe raised his head and ate a grape, "I will draw whatever the reader wants to see, and this is the road I take." So, other manga artists thought I was unpleasant, and after I drew a short story, they thought I was very kind...... I'm just prescribing the right medicine, all to help you Shueisha increase sales, and you still don't appreciate it, hmph. ”

Having said that, Maiko still felt incredible, how could the two routes be the same thing, but I didn't expect that after careful analysis, there would be such a big difference?

"Is this the mystery of the market?"

"That's right, the fun of the comic should also be moderate, it's too interesting to write. It is also destined to make no money. So, I've been trying to take it easy, so that I don't draw too much fun – you think it's funny because I don't know much. ”

"This, this is also ......"

That's a bit undisciplined, right?

In fact, this is the future direction of Japanese manga.

What kind of workmanship.,Waste cute.,Waste wood hero......

Don't these authors know that pushing Lori is going to break her legs, NTR should be immersed in a pig cage, the hero of waste wood should be shot against the wall, and the pedigree theory should be swept away in the garbage heap of history?

Readers love it, and that's it! That's why I'm going to paint!

A cartoonist's sense of social responsibility? What is that? How much money can you get in exchange?

This is the evil path of comics.

Maiko had no idea what the path of "entertainment to death" would eventually develop into. She muttered at this point: "It's easy to say, but it's hard to grasp the reader's taste!" There are a thousand flavors for a thousand people, and it is even more difficult for children to grasp ......"

As she spoke, Maiko suddenly stopped, "Wait, teacher, do you mean ......"

Li Shanhe smiled.

"That's right!" He snapped his fingers, "'Doraemon' is the ultimate answer to 'what is a manga that readers want to read?'" Its theme is all – make all your dreams come true! ”

Do you want to fly? There are bamboo dragonflies. Do you want to teleport? There are arbitrary doors. Want to see Dinosaur Age? There is a time machine......

Ever-changing, inclusive! Whatever you want to see, I'll develop props accordingly!

Don't have a main line? And that's what makes it good! Flexible!

Maiko gasped, picked up the original manuscript of "Doraemon", and fumbled for the cover in disbelief.

If you take the teacher's theory, then this comic is really quite remarkable!

Li Shanhe looked up to the sky and laughed: "This theory is not only something I have thought of. It's just that 'realizing dreams' is really a huge theme, and for so many years, only this work has put all the dreams in one framework. You say, how can it not be on fire? ”

"I knew the teacher was the best!" Maiko's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to say, "The people in the magazine asked me to ask, how long will it take to see the effect in sales?" ”

Li Shanhe pouted, sure enough, the capitalists were the most anxious for quick success.

"It's going to take about a month or two to go. Let the readers know the characters first, and know the charm of this comic, and I will make another big wave and harvest all the readers. ”

"So long?" Maiko frowned.

Li Shanhe was dissatisfied: "If other comics are running, then "Doraemon" is flying a plane. The path that needs to be accelerated is naturally longer. A classic comic that can go down in history, isn't it too much to speed up in a month or two? ”

"However, in a month's time, we will reach the end of the race......"

Li Shanhe scratched his head: "This is also a problem......

At this moment, the side door of the studio was once again violently pushed open.

After the editor was cheated once, he was obviously a lot more agitated, and his voice was pleading: "Please, teacher, time is really running out, don't use any tricks this time, please hurry up and draw the original manuscript......

"Got it, I'll be fine right away!"

Maiko answered, pursed her lips, and said quickly:

"One last thing, Hiroshi Fujimoto has found a lot of brothers, and next week we will have a lot of short stories of famous artists. There could be a surge in sales. Teacher, if you have any means, please come up with them quickly. ”

"I see," Li Shanhe pulled out a paper bag from the messy stack of books on the side, "take this." ”

"What is this?"

"Something that attracts popularity. You guys are too eager for quick success, and the time for two issues is just enough to introduce the characters of "Doraemon" to readers and make a few basic props appear. Li Shanhe said quickly, "Now that it is launched, the effect cannot be maximized...... But there was no other way, the magazine gave me a few more pages, and the story in the paper bag was serialized in 8 issues. ”

Maiko was surprised, "You also drew a new story at this time?" ”

"It's not going to take a few minutes anyway." Li Shanhe remembered something, and hurriedly said, "By the way, it is noted on the last page that the copyright development company is welcome to come to negotiate." If a film company or a toy company contacts the copyright, you need to notify me immediately. ”

The childish unit drama of "Doraemon", and you still want to come up with a movie?

Maiko looked at this manuscript curiously, and although she wanted to read it immediately, the editor next to her was already anxious to eat people.

Saotome Maiko got up, put away the paper bag, and made a parting hug with Li Shanhe, crying: "Teacher, I have protected you too well, you have never been devastated by these barbaric editors...... You have to be strong......"

"Don't talk like I'm your son!"

Li Shanhe protested, hugged gently, and whispered in her ear, "Go to Fujimoto Hiroshi's hometown of Toyama Prefecture, he must be hiding there, help me find out these two old and disrespectful guys, and beat them half to death!" ”

---

Maiko drove the company's allotted car all the way back to the magazine.

Because it has been leading sales for a long time, "Shonen Jump" has always had a high spirit, and it is often seen in the office that swaggering colleagues.

But on the sale of this issue, he was suddenly overshadowed by the other party, and his new comics did not receive too high praise, and the mood in the editorial department was a little low.

Seeing Maiko, the acting editor-in-chief came over and said eagerly:

"How's it going? What did the teacher say? ”

Maiko repeated Li Shanhe's theories about 'interesting' and 'readers want to see it', and others listened to it, some expressed understanding, and some pondered, but one thing was the same, not everyone could put their minds at ease until the theory was transformed into sales.

"Is the teacher's method just to wait?" The acting editor-in-chief covered his head with some distress, "The editor-in-chief of Fukasawa only took a few days off, and the sales were screwed up by me, which is all my responsibility!" I'm going to resign and apologize! ”

Without the editor-in-chief Fukasawa, Shueisha would be a group of scattered soldiers, and they would not be able to fight at all.

Thinking so in her heart, Maiko comforted her verbally, and suddenly remembered something, she ran out to find the paper bag in the car, and when she came back, she handed it to the acting editor-in-chief:

"By the way, this is a new manuscript from the teacher, and he said that it can be put on and serialized in the next issue."

The acting editor-in-chief's eyes lit up, and there was a new story?

I knew that Mr. Luo Wuyong had a way! We won't easily watch us be overtaken by each other!

But as soon as he took out the cover, his face fell again:

"Why is it the story of "Doraemon" again!"

Maiko nodded and said: "Yes, it's an independent side story with a short serial.,The teacher asks for more pages.,It's best to serialize it with the next issue of the famous short story.。 ”

Young comics, it is difficult for adults to understand the charm, and many times, it is a gamble on luck.

Now there is no way, everyone can only follow Li Shanhe to the black.

"I see." The acting editor-in-chief waved his hand weakly, "Then I'll go and let people typeset first......

Why don't everyone believe the teacher's words!

Maiko flattened her mouth, returned to her seat, took out the map, and prepared to look up the geography of Toyama Prefecture to find out Hiroshi Fujimoto.

But after watching it for a long time, I suddenly heard the sound of clattering chairs. When she looked up, she saw the acting editor-in-chief rushing over excitedly and shouting:

"This story is so interesting! It's a childhood dream come true! If it can be fired, it will definitely be on fire! ”

"Hey, editor-in-chief, is that true?"

"Really! I always thought I was the only one in the whole city...... It came true in this comic! It's so romantic! ”

The editor-in-chief is already incoherent.

This state is familiar to everyone, whenever Mr. Ai Luo Wuyong has a wonderful new work coming out, the editorial department is always full of fascinated staff.

Everyone picked up the copy curiously and looked at it, and this time, they were all addicted to it.

"Mr. Hiro's previous manga is very interesting...... But this comic is simply a dream come true! ”

Someone sighed, but no one responded to him, everyone was addicted to the world of comics, and they couldn't pull it out at all.

Hey, the old manga didn't have that much charm, right?

Maiko walked over curiously, and looked at the comic manuscript in the hand of one person, which was the familiar style of the movie poster of Aro Takeyong, and the cover was a gathering of all Doraemon members, with a huge robot behind it, standing on the ruins after the war.

Then, there is a large line:

"Nobita and the Iron Man Corps"

(PS: It's true that Fujiko Fujio gave up all serials and ran away.) Because of this incident, it was banned by manga magazines all over Tokyo. (To be continued.) )
