As the head of a publishing house, it was impossible for Buchuan to read every magazine in the world, and when he saw Shangguo Magazine and decided that it was not a cause for concern, he gave up the idea of continuing to follow the publishing house.

Bu Chuan took over "Shangguo Boutique" and read it seriously for the first time, and now he finally understood why Yoshii was so serious. Just seeing the artistic cover has already made people want to buy, fresh, elegant, flashy, and beautiful, and the covers of the four issues of the magazine all highlight the aesthetic examination of Shangguo Publishing House.

The cover of each magazine is drawn by a different cartoonist.

Ali –

The future –

June –

Yueji——

The covers vary, ranging from delicate freshness to classicism glitz. Is it a master artist who draws comics? Or a cartoonist who knows how to art? In short, this magazine from China has a guarantee of the quality of the paintings.

Looking at the excitement of the comics, at this time, each comic has gradually entered the plot after four months of serialization.

Some of the magazines begin with a baroque style that breaks the silence and reason to catch the reader's attention - magician, knight, missionary, waste wood Enleko, the magnificent battle between the three wolves and Chrissy.

has lived for five hundred years, a descendant of the ancient monster Van Lier - an old pervert who knows four kinds of magic; Chrissy, a genius magician with a very bad surname, uses the ancient magic Telbot as soon as she enters the field. Two super monsters fight, in the painting there are ripples in the forest, the huge canopy is like a churning wave that cannot be calmed for a long time, and the sky is covered with dark clouds and rolled into a circle of whirlpools.

This is the real magic battlefield! Ordinary cartoonists can't draw it, and they need professional artists to draw it.

In other words, if someone else paints this kind of scene, they probably just give three backs, plus a simple vista [It seems that the fight is over?] A poked his head out and looked at the Tao. [It's over, the trial master must be dead!] b said dejectedly. [Not necessarily, you can always dodge if you can't beat it, and the magic called Telbot is very convenient for escaping.] C said.

Thus, the magnificent battle scene was thus occupied by three backs and three sentences. When it comes to magic manga, the main theme is endless magic and gorgeous magic scenes. The grandeur, vividness, enthusiasm and exuberance of the Baroque style are fully integrated into the comics.

The first episode is the magic apprentice trial, and the second episode is the beginning of the trial - the battle of the forest...... The main story line is very clear, and the comic is extremely well completed.

（…… It's addictive! The president of SP commented in his heart.

Some of the magazines are telling a light story. There is youth, love, reason, and thrills, this kind of story can be read or not, but the emotional depiction of the characters in this comic is very delicate, and if you don't read it, you can't help but think - these children, what kind of ending will the world usher in after a thousand years?

The small and fresh style of painting leads modern people to the future, but in the future to experience the life before the industrial age.

From Buchuan's professional vision, it can be seen that among the few cutting-edge cartoonists in the Shangguo Society, there are a few who are still a little green at the beginning, and they have mastered the second word, and the third word is flawless, and the fourth word is ......

Superb picture quality!

Exciting plot!

Worrying—no, frighteningly growing!

When President Fukawa quickly finished the fourth issue with an experienced eye, he slapped the table and suddenly stood up.

"Why is this magazine so popular yet? Should we thank the gods thankfully? He asked rudely, "Why the hell are we still sitting here so leisurely!?" ”

"Alright," said President Kawa, "sit down before ......."

"Don't discuss anything, just suppress it!" President Fukawa sat back in his chair and said impatiently with his chest close to the table, already half-propped up on his elbows.

The Comic Association is an association, a kind of alliance, and there is no actual direct relationship.

"Wait," said the president of Enix in a hurry, "I think we can start by buying and poaching people, after all, there is no need to specifically suppress magazines, and our local people will also flatter the idea of boycotting Chinese goods." And I know who the author of Fullmetal Alchemist is in their society. ”

"You know?" The president of Shueisha showed great comfort, "That's great, thank goodness, I didn't find it with a lot of effort, but I didn't expect the answer to be with you." ”

Bang bang bang... A few loud clapping sounds reached everyone's ears.

"Stop, stop." President Fukawa shouted, slapping his book on the table, "Aren't we discussing how to solve that magazine!" "Fullmetal Alchemist" is put aside for the time being, and we must first solve this "Shangguo Boutique", even if it can't enter our domestic market...... By the way, it will also seize our international market! ”

"So we're talking about it." President Enix looked at Bu Chuan and said, "The author of Fullmetal Alchemist is Rimu, that is, Ali of "Shangguo Magazine - Q Edition of the Three Kingdoms" and "Shangguo Boutique - Qin Shi Mingyue". At the age of ten, he mastered the painting skills of the Post-American School in just 4 words, and his growth was extremely high. ”

"Oh? So he's been serializing two comics at the same time, and he's drawing so fast. The president of the Manga Association said in surprise. Originally, I didn't want to draw "Steel" and the simple four-panel comic "Q3", which is much easier to make than a white-drawn comic. But now he can actually serialize another highly completed "Qin Shi" while painting "Steel Refinement".

According to the speed of the little cartoonist's serialization, that is 3p+1-2p per day, which is about 4-5p/day of the daily speed!

"It's hard to poach him, and we can't afford the treatment he enjoys." President Enix said that he pushed a thick black book placed in front of him into the middle of the conference table - [Riki Jun の捜査結果报], "This is the result of my investigation......"

The president of the Comics Association took the initiative to take the investigation report, and he looked at the key points very efficiently.

"What treatment we can't afford." A chairman of the board of directors disagreed with the statement of the president of Enix, and commented in appreciation or sarcasm: "But as the president of a game club Enix, it's really scary, and even commercial spies are discharged." ”

But on the other hand, Chairman Kawa continued to look at the report, his brows furrowing more and more, as if it was really difficult to do. Enix has even sent out commercial spies who have not yet been able to get their hands on them......

Other members turned their attention to the investigation report.

"A 10% share of the steel smelting revenue, as well as a 10% growth fund, and more importantly, Shangguo Publishing House refused to let go, and they were even willing to sell 30% of the shares to tie this child to their company." He said. "And this kid is very assertive, even if we bear the liquidated damages, he won't jump to the book."

"It can't be helped, after all, people are talented, and that company is doing a good job." Chairman Kawa said and presented the report to the members next to him. The investigation report detailed that Rimu's wall paintings were highly acclaimed, as well as his top-notch compositional thinking and rapid wall painting speed, and that the above Olympiad events were not the object of his attention.

"What about the authors of the other five manga? Future, June, Iron, Daoren and Moon. The president of the association set his sights on the other five cartoonists, trying to find a breakthrough through them.

"The author is very hidden by them, and they are not the only ones who hide their identity. And there are only four of them in their company, and a small number of people means that the structure is compact and not easy to leak. President Enix couldn't do anything about it.

President Enix regretted that the company that the young manga artist first submitted to before the release of "Steel" was Enix, but unfortunately it did not attract his attention at the time. According to the results of the survey, it is true that Shangguo is an impulsive, aggressive, and unplanned company, but there is only one thing they did right, and that is to find the right person at the beginning.

After the company made a name for itself with "Steel Forge", they secretly selected a group of excellent cartoonists with great potential, so as to play "Shangguo Boutique" at the millennium - six single books in a row.

…… In a certain year, a certain month, the depression of domestic comics, the enthusiasm of Chinese people for Guoman completely cooled. Domestic money began to be seized by the Chinese with comics, and in order to prevent economic loss, the country began to encourage the rise of pirates, and as a result, domestic comics were suppressed by comics from Shangguo Publishing House.

…… The comic industry almost collapsed, not only could not regain the market, but the domestic comic industry was in decline. The domestic comic industry is in chaos all of a sudden, and the stores that squeeze the old Chinese comics in the store are eager to sell out at a reduced price, scrambling to buy Chinese comics.

…… The Akihabara Chinese manga specialty store, the door of the store is open, the sun shines in, and the street rumbles towards the crowd of people, and the store immediately resounds with a loud noise, and the people vying for the new manga are beating their heads and bleeding.

"This cannot be a harbinger of the rise of Chinese comics." A scene flashed through President Buchuan's mind, and he didn't want to believe that he had such a terrible premonition, so he muttered to himself, "I suddenly think that this publishing house is terrifying, it's just a new company......

He mechanically spread his fingers, propped his elbows on the table, and combed his hands from his forehead to the top of his head, until finally he couldn't help but gasp and say—

"If you want to do it, do it quickly, dig people up, dig people, suppress people. We have to fight a winning battle to create more pirates in their country, to give them bad reviews in our magazines, to raise tariffs on comics. ”

"Don't be so nervous, President Fukawa, alas, I was acting too serious just now?"

Yoshii saw that he reacted a little too aggressively, and began to regret that he had just said that the matter was too serious with a serious look, in fact, she was only a company under 2 years old, wasn't she?
