15. Submission
Shueisha is one of the island's largest general publishing houses, and is the ace of the manga industry, publishing a variety of manga magazines for teenagers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 One of the most famous of them, "Shonen Weekly", has a large readership not only in Japan but also overseas, and has been translated into many languages and published in many countries around the world.
The purpose of Zhang Han's grandfather and grandson is Shueisha.
Shueisha is located in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, some distance from the hotel where they live, and the island Chinese of the two is still passable, and they have asked and guessed all the way, plus the sign language comparison, and they really found the place.
The main building of Shueisha is a boxy building called Shinjimbocho.
Although the floors are not very high, they give it a heavy and solid feeling.
At the entrance, there are many people coming in and out, including members in suits and leather shoes, painters in a hurry, and some cartoonists who have become famous. Zhang Han could even see a few familiar faces at a glance, all of whom were the authors of some of the more well-known comics in later generations, and they still look very young now. As for what the other party's name was, Zhang Han really couldn't remember. It's like the average audience won't see who the screenwriter is when he watches a movie, he probably doesn't pay much attention to the author's name when he reads comics, except for a few comics that he really likes very much, most comics he can only remember the name of the comics, as for who the author is...... Then I'm sorry.
After watching from across the street for a moment, Zhang Han's grandfather and grandson walked towards the gate of Shueisha.
Compared with today's ordinary Japanese people, Zhang Han's dress is really a bit rustic, as if they came from the countryside, so it's good that they don't move, and this move immediately attracted a lot of attention. Even the people standing at the gate of Shueisha looked at them with curiosity and surprise.
Fortunately, the quality of the island people is okay, although they are surprised, they do not point fingers or whisper. It may also be that the pace of life is too fast, and it is really difficult to divert their attention from irrelevant things, so the people around them will look at them twice at most, and then continue to be busy, talking about what should be talking, and continuing to walk quickly.
Zhang Han and the others walked to the door of Shueisha and stepped into it, but there were relatively few people in the building, only a few people sat on the sofa in the hall and whispered something.
The hostess at the front desk walked up quickly and whispered hello in island Chinese.
The professionalism of this welcome lady is relatively high, and when other people see this pair of grandchildren, they have to show more or less curiosity, but this young girl has always maintained a respectful smile, which makes people feel very comfortable.
The old man explained his intention in the island Chinese, which was quite fluent.
When she learned that the two of them were actually here to contribute, and the contributor was mainly Zhang Han, a little radish head, Miss Welcome showed a surprised look for the first time. But she quickly put that expression back, bowed again and again for the two of them to wait, and walked briskly to the reception desk and made an internal call.
A few minutes later, a young man walked out briskly.
"Who is it? Who wants to submit a comic? ”
As soon as the young man came out, he said loudly, attracting the attention of the few people in the hall. Among them, there was a middle-aged man who frowned slightly when he saw the energy of the young man's babbling.
Zhang Han saw all this very clearly, and he also saw the young man's slightly panicked look when he noticed the middle-aged man's gaze.
The welcome lady behind the welcome desk also walked over quickly, whispered a few words to the young man, and looked at Zhang Han's grandson with her eyes.
When the young man saw Zhang Han, he also showed surprise, and he didn't seem to mean to put it away at all, but looked at Zhang Han in surprise, and walked in front of the two of them in disbelief.
"Hello, do you want to submit a manga?"
Although surprised, he bowed politely and said softly.
This time, his voice was very low, and it definitely didn't affect the others, maybe he was frightened by the middle-aged man's gaze just now. This made Zhang Han even more curious about the identity of the middle-aged man, could it be the editor-in-chief of Shueisha? But if it's the editor-in-chief, the discussion should be in your own office, and at the worst you have to have a reception room, so why is it in the lobby?
Zhang Han had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't care too much, but quietly remembered the appearance of the middle-aged man in his heart, and then turned his head to look at the young man in front of him.
At this time, the old man had already had a simple communication with the young man, and after confirming that Zhang Han really wanted to come over and submit comics, the young man turned slightly sideways with a smile.
"Please come here, let's talk inside."
Shueisha has a great business, and there are countless manga authors under its umbrella, and there are also a large number of well-known authors. Zhang Han and his grandfather followed the young man inside, and saw more familiar faces. There is especially a face, Zhang Han couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw it. At this time, a very handsome young man, in his twenties, with his hair parted in the middle, wearing an old washed shirt that had already turned a little white, was walking out of an office with a dejected face.
When he was at the door, he bowed inside, and then walked past the group of three in despair.
"That man's name is Kishimoto Kishimoto, and he is a very talented young manga artist, but it's a pity...... He seems to have chosen the wrong direction. ”
The young man leading the way in front noticed Zhang Han's gaze and immediately explained.
Of course, Zhang Han knew that the person's name was Kishimoto Qishi, in fact, he not only knew what the other party's name was, but he was even ready to plagiarize the other party's work. Of course, as long as he publishes the work one step earlier, it is not called plagiarism but originality.
But now seeing the young man's dejected appearance, Zhang Han suddenly thought, is it appropriate for him to do this? If you have the heart to make money, even if you can't really become the richest man in the country, or even the richest man in the city, you will definitely be able to become a rich man and become a local tyrant who is envied and hated by countless people.
Whether or not this comic exists, the impact on his future is actually not too great. But for that young man, this comic will be his world-famous work, and it will also be the guarantee of his counterattack and rise, if he steals this work, then this young man's future will be as dazzling as the previous life?
Do you really want to ruin a young person's future for their own selfish interests?
Zhang Han's psychology became entangled.
But then, he thought of his past life, and of the setbacks and tribulations he had experienced in his previous life, although perhaps in the eyes of many people, this so-called frustration and tribulation was actually nothing at all, nothing more than no money to spend. But for the most ordinary people, having no money to spend is the biggest setback and tribulation.
As soon as he thought of this, his heart, which had just been a little shaken, suddenly became extremely firm.
"I've been poor, I'm scared of being poor, so don't be poor again this time!"
Zhang Han forced himself to stop thinking about the young author, but to follow the back of the young man in front of him and continue to walk forward.
……
The interior of Shueisha is very large, with hundreds of employees, and most of them are concentrated on the same floor, so it is not much better than a vegetable market.
Although they are all island Chinese, and the speed of speech is quite fast, Zhang Han can still understand part of the content.
Among them, there are complaints about the author's dissatisfaction with the manuscript fee, as well as the quarrel between the editor and the author about the plot, as well as the communication between them at the same time, which makes people feel a little headache.
This situation is only slightly better when I enter the reception room.
The reception room is a small room, the decoration is very simple, in addition to a coffee table and a set of sofas, there is only a water dispenser in the corner and a tin cabinet placed against the wall, which can be described as clear at a glance.
And there are many such rooms, which are generally used to communicate with editors and authors. The sound insulation of the room is good, and as soon as the door is closed, the sound outside is not very clear.
After Zhang Han and the old man arrived at the glass of water, the young man sat opposite the two.
Then the young man briefly introduced himself and briefly talked about the rules that Shueisha must know when submitting a post.
First of all, the young man's name is Yuto Ueno, a very common island name, and he himself is the editor of Shueisha's manga department, which specializes in reviewing new manga. As for the submission instructions, in fact, there is nothing at all, nothing more than requiring originality to avoid copyright disputes. As for the genre and content of the comics, there are not too many requirements, as long as they do not involve those prohibited content and ********. There are also some articles on underage authors, which are also specifically introduced.
In fact, these things are not listened to, and the work that Zhang Han wants to submit is one of the pillars of the comic department of Shueisha in the future. There is no reason why it cannot be successfully published in this life. However, the old man listened very carefully, after all, it was related to his little grandson, and he asked many times what he didn't understand, and Yuto Ueno didn't take the trouble to explain, until more than an hour later, the old man nodded with satisfaction, indicating that there was no problem.
In the preliminary communication, if there is no problem with both concubines, it is time to come up with the genuine goods - that is, the works that Zhang Han wants to submit.
In fact, in the schoolbag that Zhang Han was carrying, there were three original manuscripts, that is, the three major comics of later generations, and he had already drawn part of them all. If he could, of course he would like to be able to directly submit "Pirates", which is the real masterpiece.
It's a pity that he had already found the pirates in the process of flipping through the magazine a few days ago, and after asking the hotel waiter, he learned that the pirates were about to start serialization, and there had already been a short story before, so he had to give up the pirates and set his sights on the Hokage instead.
The Hokage hasn't had any news yet, and it's just right for him to make a move.
Now Yuto Ueno was looking at him with expectant eyes, and he didn't procrastinate, he directly pulled out the second manuscript in his schoolbag and handed it to Yuto Ueno.
Yuto Ueno took it, looked down, and frowned slightly.
