Chapter 301: The Respective Costs and Conditions
"Hey, it turned out to be a Makou editor, what a blessing!" As an industry insider, especially the editor of the rival elementary school hall, although he has not met, Zhao Chen has seen the information of Makou Guan Er a few times, and he can be regarded as an acquaintance.
"I didn't expect Master Zhao Chen to know me, isn't this my honor!"
Makou Kanji was surprised for a moment, but recovered instantly, with a somewhat fake smile on his face.
"Where, where, who doesn't know that Mr. Maguchi is the editor in charge of Mr. Takahashi!"
Zhao Chen's teacher Takahashi is naturally Rumiko Takahashi, not Yoichi Takahashi, Kazuki Takahashi, Takahashi Nuya or AV actress Mio Takahashi.
Well, the most powerful surname in the island manga industry is undoubtedly Takahashi.
In fact, when Rumiko Takahashi was in her second year of college, she drew her debut novel "Wayward Guys! At that time, she won the "2nd Shogakukan Newcomer Excellence Award" and brought a prize of 100,000 yen to her embarrassing life. And taking this opportunity, Aunt Takahashi really stepped into the ranks of the serializer of "Young Sunday". And the reason why Rumiko Takahashi was able to win the award was because Kanji Maguchi, who was still a judge at the time, made a lot of effort. In the end, this award gave Rumiko Takahashi confidence, perhaps because of his gratitude to Kanji Maguchi, who took the opportunity to become the editor in charge of Rumiko Takahashi.
In the Elementary School Museum, which is currently a bit weak, the biggest name at the moment is naturally Fujiko Fujio, the manga artist of "Doraemon", and Rumiko Takahashi is behind him. If you go according to history, Rumiko Takahashi is undoubtedly the NO1 of female manga artists, even among all manga artists, they are below Osamu Tezuka and Akira Toriyama, and perhaps Rumiko Takahashi is also the manga artist with the largest number of manga sales of over 100 million in history.
The current Rumiko Takahashi is still serializing "Fukuxing Kid" and "A Moment of Togetherness", these two manga and "Doraemon" hold up a piece of the sky in Shogakukan. The reason why the sales of Shogakukan's main publication, "Shonen SUNDAY", have not decreased significantly. It is mainly maintained by the long-term popularity of these three works.
To say that the three major societies of the Holy Alliance have hit the least is undoubtedly the White Spring Society, although last year's women's manga magazine sales were the first to be won by the Tianxia Society. But the second and third are still the White Springs Society, and the sales of these two women's manga publications have not dropped much, and the situation is undoubtedly much better than that of Shogakukan and Shueisha.
In addition, I have to mention that Akira Toriyama's "Aralei" ended not long ago, and this manga with almost 100 million sales of a single book has completed its life journey. brought Akira Toriyama to the point of being a well-known manga artist. However, what Zhao Chen is looking forward to most is Akira Toriyama's next work, the main reason is that "Dragon Ball" was plagiarized by Zhao Chen, Akira Toriyama's manga was completely changed, and even Zhao Chen didn't know where he would go.
Without Akira Toriyama's "Aralei", Shueisha, which was already in a worrying situation, is declining more and more, and the sales of "Shonen Jump", which had not been declining much, continue to decline at a more obvious rate. On the other hand, "Young SORA", which is of the same nature, is constantly growing. In other words, some loyal readers of "Shonen Jump" began to favor "Shonen SORA", and Tianxia Society clearly had the upper hand when the two sides fought in the ring.
That's it. Among the three major clubs, Shueisha was the worst, and among the cartoonists dug up by Zhao Chen, there were the most cartoonists who originally belonged to Shueisha, accounting for almost half. The reason why the scales in Kakunan's heart will tilt is entirely because Shueisha lacks excellent up-and-coming manga artists and sees no hope for the future.
"Master Zhao Chen, the Ming people don't say secret words, you must have come this time for Mr. Qingshan, right?"
"Of course, Aoyama's strength has reached the level of serialized manga. I'm naturally here so that he can contribute to the World Society. ”
Zhao Chen shrugged his shoulders, due to the asymmetry of his identity. Zhao Chen didn't go to haha, and he didn't have any intention of covering it up. In his opinion, as well as having absolute strength, it is far less than Makou Kanji can compare.
"This is not necessarily, our elementary school hall attaches great importance to Mr. Aoyama's potential, and the chief editor specially asked me to come over and invite Mr. Aoyama!"
The two are competing against each other. It made Qingshan Gangchang on the side helpless and proud at the same time, but his heart was still obviously biased towards Zhao Chen's side. As Zhao Chen said, the two met four years ago, and during this period, Zhao Chen gave him a lot of help, and this friendship alone was difficult for him to deviate.
As for which is stronger, the Shogakukan or the Tianxia Society. That can only be said to be the benevolent and the wise wise. In terms of scale, Shogakukan, which is the second largest publishing house in the island country, is naturally the largest, but in the field of comics, it is quite a nouveau riche and has a stronger influence. Which of the two is better or worse, each has its own statement, and it can only be said that the difference in strength between the two is similar.
But in addition to these, Zhao Chen has his own animation company in terms of animation, and this animation company has now become one of the largest animation companies in the island country, especially in terms of technology and exquisite production. However, there is only one small and medium-sized animation production company in Shogakukan, and there is undoubtedly a big gap between the two.
In addition to animation, Tianxiasha also has a professional voice actor training company, a record label, a game company, and various companies that produce various peripherals, which are also leaders in the industry, and other manga giants can't compare to it at all.
Although the Tianxia Society is not as good as the historic primary school hall in terms of heritage, whether it is in terms of friendship or attractiveness, the current Tianxia Society is undoubtedly more attractive to Aoyama Gangchang.
"Let's sit down and talk slowly!" After Aoyama Gangchang's mother brought tea and snacks, she saw that Zhao Chen and Makou Guanji were a little tense, so she hurriedly and politely invited the two to sit down.
The two hurriedly said politely, although the two were opponents at this time, they still had the most basic politeness.
"Mr. Aoyama, this visit is really presumptuous, but as long as Mr. Aoyama can join the Shogakukan, I will definitely try my best to obtain the greatest rights and interests for you."
After the two of them sat down, Kanji Maguchi had a smile on his face that he thought was sincere, and his mouth was a temptation. As for whether what he said was true or false, only he knew.
"This ......" In the face of generous treatment, Aoyama Gomasa, who is only a college student, naturally does not have such a strong resistance in the face of such temptations.
"What Mr. Makou said is exactly what I want to express, as long as Qingshan you join the Tianxia Society, this contract is yours!" Seeing that Qingshan Gangchang's thoughts were a little shaky, Zhao Chen felt a little helpless in his heart, wealth was moving, and there were a few people who could easily control it in front of interests. However, he immediately took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Aoyama Gosho.
This document is naturally the contract of his brother Aoyama Gosho.,The treatment for newcomers can be said to be quite generous.,It definitely belongs to the first grade among the many newcomers in the world society.,And only comics like Aoyama Gosho who will be famous in the future can get this kind of contract in the newcomer period.。
Compared with Zhao Chen, who is in power, Ma Kou Guanji, the editor of the Elementary School Museum, is undoubtedly much miserable, he can only guarantee at most, and naturally there is no contract in his hand.
When he saw the amount on the contract, Aoyama Gangchang's eyes widened, he never thought that the contract given by Zhao Chen would be so rich.
Seeing Aoyama Gangchang's expression, Ma Kou Guan Er suddenly screamed in his heart, and he didn't care about his appearance, and stretched his neck to look at the contents of the contract on the side.
At this glance, the expression on Maguchi Kanji's face suddenly became cloudy, but he quickly made up his mind.
The grade of the contract of the newcomer of the Tianxia Society is also a little known, and the contract in the hands of Aoyama Gangchang just knows it! In his mind, since Zhao Chen can give such a generous contract, it also shows the potential of Qingshan Gangchang from the side!
"Mr. Aoyama, as long as you go to the Elementary School Hall, I can guarantee that the contract for you will not be lower than this at that time! In addition, as long as Mr. Aoyama agrees, I will go to the editorial director and invite Yutaka Abe to join Shogakukan. ”
While speaking, Ma Kouguan's eyes rolled, not only using honorifics, but also making a decision privately. (To be continued......)
