After doing this qiē, Zhang Ning did not stop, but came to Japan alone.

Facing the listing of "Final Fantasy 11", this made Zhang Ning feel a lot of pressure.

Although Plants vs. Zombies still continues to be popular, it has also been affected to a certain extent by Final Fantasy's sortie. Zhang Ning didn't want his second game, The Sims, to fail, and after successfully adding a few of Japan's hottest classes, Zhang Ning came up with the best way to promote The Sims.

Shueisha.

Shueisha is the largest publishing house in Japan and the largest manga publishing house in Japan.

Weekly Manga, the company's most famous manga magazine, 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. Similarly, Shueisha is the publishing house that has signed the most manga authors in Japan.

The famous Dragon Ball author Naruto Toriyama, the Saint Seiya author Masami Cheda, the author of the Blue Irrigation Master Inoue Yuhiko, and the One Piece author Eiichiro Oda...... and other masters, all from the society. In addition, before publication, it was serialized in its weekly comics.

Zhang Ning came to Shueisha, not because he wanted to draw comics, but because he wanted to find someone.

"Oba, I don't think it's necessary for your manga to be serialized in a weekly magazine."

Yamada, the editor-in-chief of the weekly manga, said as he looked at the manga author who was eager for him.

"No, Yamada-kun, please give me another chance, give me another chance, okay?"

"Opportunity?"

Yamada ignored the guy who looked eager for himself, and instead took out a document, "You see, your dream eater has been in a row for three months, and readers have the lowest rating. As determined by Shueisha, your Dream Eater will be stopped from serialization. At the same time, we will also terminate your contract with the Dream Eater. ”

Yamada said that dream eaters have qi.

At that time, he saw a work like Dream Eater, and thought that this kind of work that taught people to draw comics and eventually became a cartoonist was not bad? I didn't expect that when it was serialized in the weekly magazine, there were so many bad reviews.

Although Shueisha is a manga publishing house, it is not a welfare house, so they can only stop serializing manga. Besides, Shueisha has signed too many authors. If such a bad comic is still serialized, I'm afraid that my position as editor-in-chief will have to be kicked out by the top.

So, no matter what, this Dream Eater must definitely be cut in half.

"Yamada-kun, I know, I know my numbers are poor. However, don't you also think that this is a very inspirational and passionate comic. Just give me a little more time. ”

"I don't want to say anything more to you, this is a letter of termination. Perhaps, our Shueisha is not for you. You sign a termination agreement and you can also cooperate with other publishers. As you said, perhaps, it is not necessary that we Shueisha do not have vision. ”

With that, Yamada threw out a letter of termination.

Looking at Yamada's determined expression, Daba was finally discouraged, he knew that no matter what he said, this work could be regarded as a cut in half.

Helplessly, he signed a letter of termination and walked out of Shueisha depressedly.

Looking back at the more than 30-storey Shueisha headquarters in front of me, the big field was full of helplessness.

Oba is a cartoonist. No, I'm prepared to say that he was a comic book writer before the big field was successful.

Like countless people in Japan, Oba's dream is to become a dream painter.

So, since the age of 6, Dachang has been working hard for this dream.

However, there are too many Japanese comics, and there are too many geniuses in Japanese manga, and even if Oba has been drawing manga for more than ten years, he has never succeeded. Finally, half a year ago, Dachang came up with an excellent idea. He thinks that there are all kinds of manga in Japan. Why not write your own inspirational comic that teaches people to draw comics?

With this idea in mind, Daba began to create Dream Eaters.

Dream Eater tells the story of two students who also love comics, and they work together, one writes a plot and the other draws a comic. And, with the unremitting efforts and cooperation of the two people, in the end, their comic Tong guò was under pressure and ascended to the throne of the weekly comic champion who sold more than 6 million copies a week.

In this manga, Oba tells the inspirational story of a manga author who became a manga artist. On the one hand, and with their own professionalism. When drawing comics, I pass on a lot of comic knowledge that ordinary people don't know to the public. Daba felt that this was a very creative story. Similarly, when he handed over the Dream Eater to Shueisha, Yamada, the editor-in-chief of Shueisha, thought it was a good idea. Try to have the Dream Eater serialized in a weekly comic.

It's a pity that three months have passed, and Dream Eaters have been at the bottom of popularity.

"Looks like we're going to have to draw a comic again."

The Japanese manga industry is very hot, but many people don't know that the Japanese manga industry is under great pressure.

In the Japanese manga industry, only a few famous manga geniuses can live well, while others can only get a little food. Even, there are many people who can't even get full. Just like Shueisha's weekly manga, if your work is going to be published. Normally, you have to serialize in a weekly comic magazine like this. If it is serialized, the table xiàn is good. Then, the comic book publisher will consider publishing a single book for you.

However, in the serialization, if the number jù is not good, then, sorry, cut it in half.

In other words, your work will not be able to continue to be serialized. This is the same as the writing of online essays in later generations, if the author of the later novels sees that the number of serials in the work is not good, or the subscription is not good, then it will also be cut in half. It's just that the halving of later generations is the author's own eunuch. The Japanese manga publishing house is the author of the manga by the waist.

Therefore, once the comic is cut in half, your work will not have any financial resources.

Oba's profession is to draw comics, and Dream Eater has proven to be a failure after 3 months of serialization.

Although, there are some very cups for this.

Although, it is also possible to make some people who like this work sad originally.

However, in order to survive and live, Oba can only redraw a new work.

"Hello, Oba"

Dachang walked out of Shueisha in despair, but he didn't hear anyone call him.

"Wait......"

A man behind him chased after him.

"You are?"

When I finally found that someone stopped me, I turned around and saw a young man about 20 years old.

"My name is Zhang Ning?"

The person who came was Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning, who had developed software for Japanese software vendors in his previous life, still knew a little Japanese.

In addition, I have watched a lot of educational films, and the Japanese language has also made rapid progress.

"Zhang Ning?"

Dachang didn't know anything Zhang Ning didn't Zhang Ning, "You called me?" ”

"Yes. Are you new to Shueisha? ”

"Hmm."

Oba nodded.

"Is your latest serialized work a dream eater?"

"Yes."

"Then your Dream Eater, was he beheaded by Shueisha?"

I wanted to nod yes, but this sentence "Dachang" suddenly became angry, "What do you mean." ”

"Humiliate me?"

The big scene broke out all at once.

His dream is to become a cartoonist, and he wants his comics to spread all over the world.

However, all this time, he did not succeed.

Moreover, not only did he not succeed, but because of this halving, he even had a problem with food and clothing for the next month.

"Sue you, no matter how bad my painting is, I will persevere."

The big field yelled loudly.

In the past few decades, he has been humiliated and ignored too much.

Many people say that Oba has no talent and is not material for drawing manga, but it is better to do Japanese food, at least than to draw manga.

Although Oba doesn't think there's anything wrong with cooking Japanese food, he just loves his manga.

He always believed that he would succeed.

Today, however, he felt that he had been humiliated again, and that it was a teenager who had humiliated him.

In an instant, the big field completely broke out.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Dachang vented and looked at the lonely teenager in front of him, Dachang suddenly felt that he seemed to be out of shape.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper."

"It's okay."

The boy smiled, not angry.

"Well, young man, what are you looking for me?"

Dachang is in his 30s, and he is almost 40 years old, so he is naturally qualified to call the teenager in front of him a young man.

"Actually, I really think your dream eater is good, and I'm going to give you a single book."

A single book refers to a work that is published independently after the serialization of the same work, combining the contents of the previous serialization in one place.

"Give me a book?"

Oba lifted the glasses with some power in front of the bridge of his nose, "Young man, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"As you said earlier, you all know that my Dream Eater has failed in serialization and has been cut in half by Shueisha. Such a work, you also want to give me a single book? ”

"Yes, why not?"

"Oh my God......"

Dachang felt that the young man in front of him had some nerves, "Do you think this game is fun?" ”

"Mr. Oba, this is not a game, and I didn't lie to you. I really feel that your Dream Eater is very good, at least, in terms of the creativity of your work, he has not appeared in Japan at the moment. ”

"But what's the use of that, the reader still doesn't like it."

"You don't like it, do you mean that it failed to be serialized in a weekly magazine?"

"Yes."

"Hehe, I don't think so. Do you think that the weekly magazine represents the eyes of all readers in Japan? ”

"This ......"

Dachang was a little stunned, he felt that this young man had a certain point. However, he still shook his head, "Although it is not representative of all of Japan, Weekly Magazine is the largest manga magazine in Japan. If there is a downturn in such a serialized magazine, it will naturally be the same in the single book market. ”

"Not necessarily, since you said that weekly magazines do not represent Japan, then he still has shortcomings. Your Dream Eater fails to be serialized in a weekly magazine, and it doesn't necessarily fail in a single book. And, as far as I know, magazines are serialized. And your dream eater didn't have **** serialized at all when he drew the first few times. Naturally, this kind of slow-paced comics, he is certainly not popular. ”
