Chapter 148: It's You
Chapter 148 is you
It didn't take long for Koichi Sekiguchi's assistant to bring over the list of manga artists that Kadokawa Shoten had collected through its manga magazine. "These are the lists of cartoonists who have been interested in collaborating with the authors of our company's manga magazines for a long time, and it will take about half an hour for Miss Hiromi Arakawa to ......come over," the assistant said politely when he handed the document to Wen Xun.
Wen Xun took the document and looked at it, and found that he basically didn't know the names on it. But when he saw the works of those names in the back, Wen Xun found that he had basically heard all of them, although he didn't know who Clamp was, but he really heard his classmates mention "X-Men" and "Tokyo Babylon" when he was in junior high school.
Although he didn't know who Yoshiki Takaya was, when he saw the title of the work corresponding to the name - "Strong Breeding Armor", he had the impression that he had seen a comic that his classmates seemed to have read with this name. Although I don't know who Miki Moto Haruhiko is, but when I saw "MACROSS7", Wen Xun knew that this was "Battlestar" that Li Liuyun often mentioned before.
Although I don't know who Nagano Hu is, but when I saw that the name of the work was "Five Star Story", Wen Xun knew that this person must be one of the Japanese comics N Dakeng King that Li Liuyun once mentioned.
"Mr. Wen may not know much about my country's cartoonists in China, so I will introduce you a little bit here." Koichi Sekiguchi's assistant began to introduce these cartoonists to Wen Xun at this time with the help of a Taiwanese translator.
"First of all, let's talk about clamp, which is not really the name of a cartoonist, but the name of a team. This team is made up of four women who started doing doujinshi and drawing fancomics in the 80s. And then after becoming famous in the comic world, they changed careers together to enter the ranks of commercial cartoonists. Their works include "The Sacred Biography", "Tokyo Babylon", "X-Men", and "Humanoid Computer Angel Heart", which is currently being serialized. Relatively speaking,Clamp's painting style is more changeable.,The four people in this team each have the level of independent painting.,And because it's a doujinshi debut.,So you can use a variety of painting styles at will......"
"Hmm...... Listen to you, their consumer base seems to be skewed towards teenage girls? Wen Xun suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked. He remembered cartoons like "Holy Biography", it seemed that all female classmates read it again, and there didn't seem to be a few people among the boys reading it.
"Edo, it's a bit of a shoujo manga tendency, but 'Humanoid Computer Angel Heart' is actually a relatively male market...... "Koichi Sekiguchi's assistant Ai Suzuki explained.
"Well, let's introduce the next one." Wen Xun said with a smile. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, in fact, Wen Xun had already cleared the clamp out. Although it seems that Clamp is the most famous manga artist in the entire Kadokawa bookstore, the problem is that they are not the same target group as Wen Xun.
Moreover, machismo is still very entrenched in this world. Although it seems that Clamp's power and earning power are very good, Wen Xun guessed that if he really cooperated with Clamp, it is estimated that people who would have bought comics would hesitate - to cooperate with the cartoonist group of shoujo comics? Make no mistake, could it be that "Fullmetal Alchemist" was drawn for girls?
After this clamp doesn't work, the author of "Strong Breeding Armor" and the author of "Five Star Story" are not suitable. Why? Because these two are the pit kings, the two of them have not finished serializing their own comics for almost 10 years, and they have dragged the manuscript to open the skylight from time to time, and they still expect them to be able to draw honestly when they cooperate with Wen Xun?
So Wen Xun is really willing to wait for Arakawa Hiromi to come, at least Arakawa Hiromi is still a newcomer at this time, not to mention whether the two of them have a consensus on "Fullmetal Alchemist", at least as a newcomer, her attitude will be very good, right? At least it's not a skylight every once in a while, isn't it?
When Ai Suzuki introduced all the manga artists, and Wen Xun denied them, Hiromi Arakawa arrived. After the knock on the door of Koichi Sekiguchi's office, Wen Xun only saw a very familiar aunt being ushered in.
This aunt was wearing a black lady's suit, with a ponytail tied at the back of her head, and her face didn't look like a 25-year-old woman, but like a 45-year-old woman - that's why she said it was like an aunt As soon as Wen Xun saw this aunt, he knew that she was Arakawa Hiromi. Because in the previous dream of changing the comics, it was this aunt who was talking to herself.
"I'm really sorry, there was a bit of a traffic jam on the road, so I got off the taxi and rushed to take the tram." As soon as Hiromi Arakawa entered the door, he bowed and apologized.
"You guy, if you're so arrogant, what should we do with us introducers?" Seeing that Arakawa Hiromi was late, Koichi Sekiguchi immediately set up a fight and began to train people.
Wen Xun saw this scene, and immediately interjected with a smile: "Forget it, no one wants this kind of thing, and Miss Arakawa Hiromi is not deliberately late." ”
With Wen Xun playing the round, Koichi Sekiguchi is not very good at continuing to train Hiromi Arakawa. At this time, Arakawa Hiromi looked at Wen Xun with special grateful eyes, and then bowed deeply to Wen Xun and said, "Mr. Wen, hello, I am Arakawa Hiromi." I especially like your Fullmetal Alchemist, and I hope you will give me a chance to paint"
"Okay." Wen Xun nodded and said.
As soon as he said this, the entire office was dumbfounded. Hiromi Arakawa mentioned it so casually just now, and Wen Xun agreed? Didn't Wen Xun pick and choose before, don't want this or that, why did he see Hiromi Arakawa agree in a few seconds? Want to uncover the rules? It's impossible, Arakawa Hiromi's face, I can't ignore it even when I turn off the lights, and I don't have a very good figure
Not to mention Koichi Sekiguchi and others, but Hiromi Arakawa himself was dumbfounded at this time. She looked at Wen Xun stupidly, as if she was wondering if she had heard something wrong just now. "Mr. Wen, what did you just say?"
"I said 'Fullmetal Alchemist' will draw it for you,O Xun said with a smile.
"But why?" Don't talk about others, Hiromi Arakawa was puzzled at this time, and she asked Wen Xundao.
"Because you weren't on the shortlist in the first place, you took the initiative to sign up after reading the book. Then I think if that's the case, it proves that you must have a strong sense of identity with the story of Fullmetal Alchemist. Even if you don't, it proves that you are a very good person, and you are especially good at creating and seizing opportunities for improvement. If you are such a smart person, I think I can also try to cooperate with you, at least the communication will not be so tiring. Wen Xun explained slowly.
I have to say that as soon as Wen Xun's explanation came out, the entire office was immediately impressed. How could ordinary people think so much like Wen Xun at this time? It was possible to figure out so many joints in an instant, and then make a judgment quickly......
Koichi Sekiguchi, Hiromi Arakawa and the others all looked at Wen Xun with shocked eyes, but what they didn't know was that the reason why Wen Xun agreed so quickly was because he had already talked to Hiromi Arakawa in his previous dream. And Wen Xun himself is a little prince with a reason, and he can casually find an excuse to make others think that it is really like that.......
