Shueisha.

"President, something is wrong."

Yoshizumi reported to Shueisha President Inoue Yan with some concerns, "The Penguin Comics Original Platform has recently released a super popular work, which has been squeezed into the site-wide click list, and the position is only below Dragon Ball. ”

"Impossible."

Inoue shook his head, "What kind of super popular works can they produce on this platform, haven't you read it, some of their comic works are drawn by some elementary school students, and such works can also enter the click list." Jokes, I think they want to take advantage of the hype. ”

"No, Mr. Inoue, this is a really good work, and it has attracted a lot of readers. At present, MSN instant messaging software, more than 100 groups about this work have been created, and many comic friends have been recommending this comic recently. ”

As he spoke, Yoshizumi opened the website, "Mr. Inoue, this is this work." ”

Pointing to the Naruto manga, Yoshizumi said, "Oh my God, he's already surpassed Dragon Ball and is about to catch up with Dream Eater." ”

"I'll look at ......"

Yoshizumi was so nervous that Inoue was also a little worried, and he also looked away.

"It's not good, the popularity of this work is going to skyrocket, and it has risen one place, surpassing the Dream Eater."

After another refresh, Naruto's clicks exploded again, once in a straight line, and it has jumped to the third place on the click list.

"This ......"

Inoue Yan didn't speak, although he was constantly shocked in his heart, he still clicked to read this work.

Naruto.

"It's not bad."

At first, Inoue Yan felt that Naruto's manga skills were very strong.

At the same time, his heart was shocked.

I always thought that no one would create comics on this platform, and even if there were, it was some elementary school students.

But now it seems that such cartoons were drawn by elementary school students, and they are clearly professional cartoon authors.

However, how did a professional cartoonist come here?

After looking at it slowly, the more I looked, the more attracted I became, and the more I looked at it, the more I made Inoue feel excited.

This work is simply amazing.

"Yoshizumi, why don't you submit such a work to Shueisha."

Half an hour later, Inoue finished reading Naruto's first few words.

At this time, Naruto had already hit the top spot on the click list, and once again shocked him.

It's just that now he doesn't think about this click list, and he has something that makes him even more nervous.

"I don't know."

Yoshizumi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know very well, but seeing the author's name of Naruto, Yoshizumi seemed to remember this person's name, "President, Kishimoto Saishi seems to be the rookie champion of our Shueisha that year." ”

"Rookie King Champion, how did you come here."

Inoue Yan looked even more surprised, but after a while, he already understood.

As the president of Shueisha, he knows all too well about the Japanese manga industry.

Even if it is the newcomer Wang of Shueisha, he knows that there are many authors who won this title back then, and they no longer know where to go.

The competition in the comics industry is too big and too big, even if you are the rookie king of the year, you may not be able to embark on this path.

"President, it is said that dozens of works painted by Kishimoto Kishi in the past few years have not been signed by our Shueisha. Probably ......"

"Maybe he just figured out the platform guò and wanted to prove himself?"

"I don't know."

Yoshizumi didn't pay much attention to this platform, and he didn't know how to explain Naruto's sudden outburst.

And, most worriedly, Yoshizumi already sensed the threat of this website.

Yes, there were only some worries before, but now, those fears have become reality.

Originally, I thought that no one on the Penguin Comics original platform used to draw comics, but now not only have he got, but there are also people who have drawn genius works. With this momentum, even if it can't compete with Shueisha, it is already threatening the structure of the traditional publishing industry. Of course, for this point, as the president of Inoue Yan, he sees it more thoroughly.

"Yoshizumi, contact Kishimoto and buy all the rights to Naruto."

"Okay."

Yoshizumi nodded and went to do it immediately.

It's just a pity that he didn't know until he contacted Kishimoto Kishishi. Naruto's copyright has been represented by the Penguin Original platform, and if you want to talk about publishing, you can only negotiate with the Penguin Original platform if you want to talk about the copyright of animation.

This point made Shueisha speechless.

I didn't expect the Penguin Original platform to be so smart, no wonder I dared to buy electronic copyrights with hundreds of millions of yen.

Now they finally know that when they get their website up and running, they'll have to spit the money back.

Moreover, this is just Naruto, who knows if there will be a second Naruto, the third part on their platform in the future.

However, now that there is no way to manage so much, in order to maintain its advantages, Shueisha still contacted the Penguin platform.

"Hello, we are Yoshizumi from Shueisha, and we want to buy the rights to Naruto from you."

"Hello Yoshizumi-sama, you are very welcome to cooperate with you. However, it is also possible to buy the rights to Naruto. It's just that when publishing Naruto, Shueisha had to add the logo of the Penguin Comics original platform, which means that after this work comes out, it will be a joint production between the two of us. ”

Zhang Ning was in charge of Naruto's first copyright negotiations.

"How can this be, no matter what work Shueisha publishes, it can only be poured into the label of our Shueisha. You don't have a publishing house, it's just an online serialization platform, isn't it too much to ask for this? ”

This is clearly an advertisement for their penguin manga through Shueisha, and Yoshizumi immediately refuses.

If this is agreed, I am afraid that once Naruto is published, their Penguin Manga original platform will be the same as Shueisha.

"Hehe, Mr. Yoshizumi, that's not too much. Although we are not a publishing house, our platform actually serves the same purpose as your Shueisha platform. We also recruit manga authors, we also give them the opportunity to publish, and we have put in a much greater effort than you Shueisha, so why can't we ask for this. Moreover, everyone knows that with the current popularity of Naruto, as long as it is published, it will definitely create a zào publishing myth. I think that when Shuei Society came to buy the rights of the Hokage, it also took a fancy to the influence of the Hokage. ”

Why when signing the contract, write down the copyright of the agent Hokage.

This is not just to make money, but more to control the entire Japanese manga market.

And the easiest way to control zhì is to take the copyright.

No, it's not to take down the copyright, you just need to take down this agency, and you can.

It's just that, it seems that Yoshizumi also understands this, but snorts coldly, "Mr. Zhang, isn't the agency copyright agreement on your contract too domineering." I'm sure most comic book writers won't agree to such an agreement with you. ”

"Mr. Yoshizumi, in fact, all the authors are now signed with us."

Since the contract is signed, it is agreed to such a contract.

"You're cheating."

Yoshizumi said angrily.

"No, Mr. Yoshizumi, I'm not cheating at all. Before signing the contract, we wrote very clearly and, moreover, also communicated with the authors, they did not have any opinions. If you think we're cheating, you can contact some of the comic book writers, and you can even get them to breach. Still, I'm sure they won't. ”

"Okay, that's what you said, don't blame us for tempting them and blatantly violating your site's covenant."

"Go ahead, that's what I said, I'll wait for you."
