"That's all for Naruto's book signing, is there anything else the others are doing?" The head editor of the weekly Shonen Jump, after talking about the preparations to be made during the Naruto book signing, asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Editor, although I don't want to say that, but because of the appearance of Naruto, the works of many manga artists who draw ninjas have been cut, and many newcomers have been kicked out, so do you have to be prepared, in case they come together to make trouble, it will be difficult to do."
"Pay attention to this, it's okay, strengthen the security work of the day, if someone makes trouble, call the police, I don't think anyone should be so irrational, after all, if it is exposed, but it is a big scandal, even if someone doesn't want to do it in the comics industry, it's nothing, it's nothing, now it's a legal society, if it's really going to make a big fuss, we're not afraid." The deputy chief editor spoke.
"Also, the manga artists in charge of the editors under his command, some of them also draw ninja comics, and now they all want to quit, and we haven't published other ninja comics recently, so they have some complaints." One of the team leaders spoke.
"Then let them come up with a manga comparable to Naruto, or submit it to other magazines, you also know why you don't publish other ninja manga, in the case of Naruto, other ninja manga, if it's not too exciting, will be cut in half soon, there is no need to waste the manga artist's energy for this, and also waste the company's resources." The deputy chief editor spoke.
"This has been noticed in the company, and the editor-in-chief and we have also had a meeting to discuss it, the appearance of Naruto has indeed caused some problems for other manga artists who draw ninja manga, but here we can only hope that other manga artists will continue to work hard to create better works, and we can help with other aspects, but creativity can only rely on the author himself."
On the day of the signing meeting, Yangzi and Yu Wei went to Shueisha in the morning and made some detailed understanding of the signing meeting in the afternoon.
"There are so many people, when is this going to be checked-in?" Out of curiosity, Yangzi went to the gymnasium beforehand, and Yangzi found that there were many people in the gymnasium now, and people kept joining in.
There are three people who hold the signing at the same time as Yangzi, all of whom are cartoonists with different themes, but only one is the same as Yangzi and is the author of the weekly Shonen Jump.
is the genius girl in Yu Wei's mouth, in her third year of high school this year, she is also the only female cartoonist on the Weekly Shonen Jump, and the cartoonists on the Weekly Shonen Jump, except for her, the others are all men.
Haseyuki, a girl with short hair and a quiet look.
"It's not over." At the beginning of the signing, Yangzi calculated the time and found that it was impossible to sign the names of so many people.
"I'm in trouble, I didn't expect so many people, it seems that I can only ask Mr. Yangzi to work hard." Yamada, who was in charge of on-site planning, came to Yu Wei and Yangzi's side, and said while touching the sweat on his head.
"I don't have anything to work, just signing autographs, and it won't be more tiring than drawing comics." Yangzi said it didn't matter.
"I'm sorry for you." After Yamada got Yangzi's reply, he hurriedly walked out.
"No, there are so many people, but it's only three hours, three hours, that's one hundred and eighty minutes, according to one person a minute, that's only one hundred and eighty people, even if it's doubled, it's three hundred and sixty people, it's better to add a little more, at most five hundred people, but now there are at least a few thousand people here." Although the signing has not started yet, the Naruto team has already lined up more than a dozen rows, and this is still in line, and there are more people who are not in line. At this time, there were two teenagers in the team, holding Naruto's latest single book, constantly observing the surrounding situation.
"We're lucky, it looks like we're around 200, and we should be able to get autographs." Another teenager said.
"Everyone, everyone, please be quiet." Yamada was holding a microphone and talking loudly.
The crowd saw Yamada wearing Shueisha's work clothes, and they all fell silent for a while, ready to hear what this person had to say.
"I'm very sorry, everyone, due to the lack of estimated information, I didn't expect so many people to come to the scene, I was going to prepare the author to sign the autograph, and exchange a few words with the readers, but now I can only cancel, everyone is here today, they all like Naruto, and they all want to get the author's signature.
However, time is limited, in order to allow more people to get the author's signature, we can only change the program, the part of the exchange can only be canceled, please get the signature of the reader, leave quickly, do not delay the time of the next person, so that more readers can get the signature.
Of course, in order to make up for our mistakes, we obtained the consent of the author, and after the signing was over, we spent half an hour holding a small exchange meeting with everyone, and those who wanted to communicate with the author could participate at that time. Yamada repeated his words several times before finally announcing the official start of the signing.
"Foreigners." Yangzi was wearing ordinary casual clothes today, and did not wear a formal suit, but the first person to ask for an autograph turned out to be a foreigner, which still startled Yangzi, this is an eighteen or nineteen-year-old blonde young man, after Yangzi appeared, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Are you the author of Naruto, my name is Bell, an American, I like Japanese ninja culture very much, I have been studying ninja culture all these years, your Naruto is really amazing, how did you come up with this." The foreigner, named Bell, threw himself on Yangzi's table at once, and fluent Japanese came out of his mouth.
"This gentleman, please don't do this, I have already said it just now, please take care of the readers behind, they are already in a hurry." When Bell heard this, he looked back, and sure enough, everyone was glaring at him, and Yangzi was also taken aback by his reaction, and forgot to sign him for a while.
With the example of the foreigner just now, the people behind were very restrained, although everyone was very surprised when they saw the true face of Yangzi, but they did not react excessively.
"It's too slow, speed it up." After twenty minutes, Yangzi found that he couldn't get there soon, so he motioned for the two people waiting for the autograph to put the book on the table together, and Yangzi also picked up the pen in his left hand and began to sign the two books at the same time, and the two signatures were almost identical.
"Let's do it." After signing with two hands a few times, Yangzi found that this efficiency improved a lot, as long as the book was picked up quickly enough, Yangzi felt that he could get all the signatures in three hours.
"Would you like to take a break?" After more than an hour, Yangzi has completed nearly 500 signatures, which is rare in the signature industry, but Yu Wei saw that Yangzi had been doing this, so she reminded Yangzi that she needed to take a break, although the efficiency of this has increased, but the physical exertion will also be doubled, of course, this consumption is nothing for Yangzi.
And a rare signature event, Yangzi is very excited now.
With the passage of time, Yangzi is even busier now, because now the books are placed on the table in advance, and after Yangzi signs it, someone takes it away, and then the next one is placed on it, and Yangzi has already begun to stand up and sign.
"Huhu, it's finally done." Due to Yangzi's superhuman efficiency, finally at the end of time, everyone in the gymnasium got the signature, Yangzi threw down the pen in his hand, sat on the chair, kept panting and twisting his wrist, even with Yangzi's current superhuman physical strength, signing for three hours in a row, he was tired enough.
"It's amazing." The Shueisha staff on one side were also stunned by Yangzi's efficiency, such a signature event, popular authors, generally do not complete all the signatures at the end of the time, Shueisha has held so many signing sessions, for such a result, there have long been countermeasures, generally speaking, those who come to the scene to sign are very fond of the author and the author's work, such people, explain, will accept.
"Sure enough, he deserves to be the author of Naruto, and this perseverance alone is already very impressive." Although many people who got the autographs left, there were still a lot of people left on the scene, and it was already surprising just to watch the Yangtze perform autographs.
"Drink some water, I didn't expect you to be so good here, even in the end, the signature is not out of shape." Yu Wei said as she handed Yangzi a bottle of water.
"Hey, I thought he was only relying on his talent to be so good here, but I didn't expect him to work so hard." The other three who held the signing with Yangzi watched as Yangko signed autographs for Naruto fans after it was over.
"In order not to disappoint the Naruto fans present, he actually completed all the signatures, not to mention talent, just this perseverance, I think no one can compare to it, and his success is not accidental." Hase, looking at Yangzi, said slowly.
"Hey,Fortunately, I'm not a cartoonist who draws ninjas.,Now those peers.,But the heart to die.,There's a lot of people thinking about transformation.,Even if you don't transform.,I'm not drawing a single ninja comic.,His existence.,It's too hurtful to people's self-esteem.。 Another cartoonist, spoke.
"Even the young ninja was forced to finish, what else is there to say, if he was born more than ten years early, and the Inugami teacher touches him, he will also feel troublesome." The last cartoonist spoke.
"Trouble, I don't think so, if he is in the same era as Inugami-sensei, a young ninja, he may not appear at all."
"yes, it's funny that no ninja has been drawn since then."
"It's a good thing that his Sailor Moon didn't reach this level, otherwise we cartoonists wouldn't have to mess around."
"Although Sailor Moon doesn't have the Hokage, he has a momentum of dominating the world, but Sailor Moon is one of the most popular shoujo manga, an ordinary manga artist, there is a manga that has reached such a level, it is already very powerful, but he now has two so powerful."
"Don't forget after Dragon Ball, although Dragon Ball is now ranked around tenth, there is no domineering when the Hokage appeared, but Dragon Ball's current ranking seems to have stabilized, according to the survey, there are many people who like Dragon Ball, three serialized comics, pity me for so many years, only one has been serialized, and now every week, they are working hard for the ranking, and people are more popular than people."
