Chapter Eighty-Nine: Shueisha
"What, Tsukasa Hojo!" Zhao Chen couldn't help but move when he heard Tsukasa Hojo, this is a famous comic master in the island country in the future, and his paintings of "City Hunter" and "Three Sisters with Cat's Eye" are famous, which makes Zhao Chen's heart stir, I didn't expect to meet the fledgling Hojo Tsukasa here.
"I'm so sorry!" The childish young man bowed and apologized again, and his attitude was sincere, which was also the reason why Tsukasa Hojo was not angry.
"It's okay! Oh, by the way, hurry up and get your sketches in order, or you'll be done with a dirty mess. โ
Tsukasa Hojo was a round-faced young man with glasses, who looked a little obscene, but after seeing the sketches scattered all over the door, he hurriedly said.
"Ahh The childish young man exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly began to clean up the sketches on the ground.
"I'll help you!" Hojo Tsukasa and Zhao Chen's voices sounded almost at the same time, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and then helped pick up the drawings scattered all over the place.
When Zhao Chen was helping to clean up, Li Yuncong on the side also joined in, carefully picking up the sketch so as not to wrinkle.
After more than half a year of self-study, Zhao Chen has become more familiar with Japanese, and his smooth Cheng dรน is not much worse than that of the island people.
Zhao Chen picked up the sketch, but his eyes subconsciously fell on the sketch, although the sketch of the childish youth is ordinary, it is delicate and realistic, and the breath of life is strong, especially the girl's posture and demeanor are accurately depicted quite meticulously, which can be regarded as having its own characteristics.
"If you can have your own characteristics, you shouldn't be a nobody in the future!"
When Zhao Chen thought so, all the drawings on the ground had already been picked up. It's just a little messy to look at.
"Thank you, thank you very much!" When the childish young man took the sketch in the hands of the three people, he kept thanking him.
"It's time for the Tezuka Prize to collect works!" Suddenly, as if remembering something, the childish young man blurted out subconsciously.
"Hurry up, maybe you can hand in your work in time!"
As soon as Tsukasa Hojo's words fell, the childish young man rushed to the stairs, and disappeared into the corridor in a hurry.
Zhao Chen was slightly disappointed in his heart, he still wanted to say a few words to the childish young man, after all, what his comic company lacked the most was cartoonists. But it's not bad to be able to meet Tsukasa Hojo, at least the current Tsukasa Hojo has not become famous, and it is much easier to win over.
"Wait!"
"Friend, what's the matter? Hey, you don't look like you're from an island country? Hojo Tsukasa was about to leave, but when he heard Zhao Chen's voice, he turned around and said.
"Hello, Mr. Hojo Tsukasa, I'm Zhao Chen from Xiangjiang, this is my business card!"
Zhao Chen didn't want to miss this opportunity, if he could pull the big fish of Hojo Division, it would undoubtedly drive the exhibition of the comic company in the future.
Hojo Tsukasa took the business card suspiciously, just glanced at it, his eyes were stunned, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him was not only a cartoonist, but also the owner of a comic club.
"Zhao Chen? The name seems familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere! Hojo Tsukasa looked at Zhao Chen, touched his head suspiciously, and tried to remember something.
Finally, Hojo Tsukasa showed an expression of sudden realization, he finally remembered, but looking at Zhao Chen's gaze was a little strange.
It turned out that the origin of Yiqiฤ was because Zhao Chen refused Shueisha's right to acquire "Soccer Junior", and Shueisha could be said to be very optimistic about the sports manga "Soccer Junior", and the editor-in-chief even believed that "Soccer Junior" could not only achieve amazing sales, but also open up overseas markets. But who would have thought that Zhao Chen would refuse this offer, even if Shueisha paid a very big price and didn't get it, everyone in Shueisha knew about this incident at that time, and they couldn't understand what kind of medicine the cartoonist named Zhao Chen was selling.
It was this incident that made Hojo Tsukasa take care of it, and bought the Japanese version of Zhao Chen's "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" to watch, and it was only then that Zhao Chen's writing and painting skills can be said to be quite amazing.
Although Hojo Tsukasa didn't know anything about the history of "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty Double Dragons", but with the painting and plot, Hojo Tsukasa was fascinated by it at the time, and it is no wonder that "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty Double Dragons", which seems out of place for island people, still has this sales.
"It turns out that you are Zhao Chenjun, the author of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", I didn't expect to be so young and disrespectful!"
"Mr. Hojo is polite, but it's just in vain! I've just started a manga club.,If Mr. Hojo is interested.,Welcome to contribute.,The salary will definitely not disappoint Mr. Hojo.ใ โ
Zhao Chen knew that there was not much time, and he also knew in his heart that Tsukasa Hojo had completed his debut work "Angel of the Universe" at this time, although he did not get very good results, he was also a cartoonist.
"Zhao Chenjun, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely cooperate!"
Tsukasa Hojo has a smile on his face, and he is naturally happy to be appreciated, especially since the other party is also a manga artist who is famous above him. As for whether to submit or not, Hojo Tsukasa has no bottom in his heart, after all, he is also a rookie cartoonist at this time, and he naturally attaches great importance to salary.
Zhao Chen also knew in his heart that it would undoubtedly be difficult to poach people from Shueisha, after all, Shueisha at this time was one of the three major comic companies in the island country.
However, Zhao Chen also has his own advantages, that is, he can 'see' the future ability of Tsukasa Hojo, and the editors of Shueisha, no matter how powerful they are, can only think that Tsukasa Hojo has potential, and then Zhao Chen only needs to spend money to have a lot of opportunities. In addition, there are too many manga artists who come to Shueisha to contribute, and because of this, there is fierce and abnormal internal competition, and small companies do not have this problem, which is his advantage.
The two exchanged a few words of greeting before parting, and when Hojo Tsukasa left, he couldn't help but show a tangled expression on his face, he was about to graduate from school in a few months, so he naturally hoped to get a certain salary, and Zhao Chen's promise undoubtedly made him quite excited.
"Let's wait for the results of this Tezuka Award before making a decision!" Tsukasa Hojo thought so in his heart, his debut work "Angel of the Universe" was just a short story, and he had finished painting two or three months ago, and this time he came to Shueisha naturally for the Tezuka Prize, as long as his short story can be selected by the Tezuka Award, then there is no small chance to enter the serialization, and Tsukasa Hojo does not want to give up this opportunity.
After Tsukasa Hojo left, Zhao Chen carefully put the contact information he asked for from Tsukasa Hojo into his arms, planning to take advantage of this comic master of later generations during this time.
"Let's go and ask first!"
Seeing Li Yuncong on the side looking at him, Zhao Chen said.
This building is the headquarters of Shueisha, and Zhao Chen is naturally very envious in his heart, according to the land and this building, the total value of this building alone is almost worth one billion yen.
Shueisha belongs to a large company in the end, and there is a front desk lady on the first floor.
"Hello, I'm looking for your Horn South Attack President!"
"Excuse me, sir, do you have an appointment?"
"Nope!"
"I'm really sorry, but I have to make an appointment to meet the president."
"In this case, is Mr. Maken Aida, your marketing manager, here?"
"This ...... Pls sir, your name? I'm good to report! โ
"Zhao Chen!"
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll ask!"
After some conversation, the front desk lady made a call.
"Sir, Aida-kun is still upstairs, come down immediately, please stay for a while!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Zhao Chen thanked him, but felt that the islanders were really polite, of course, this was inseparable from the system of the islanders.
Just as Zhao Chen and the two were sitting on the chairs next to them waiting, it didn't take long for the figure of Xiangtian Zhenjian to appear from the corridor.
"Huh, I never thought that Zhao Chenjun would come to my country so soon!"
"Mr. Aida, I just arrived some time ago!"
"Zhao Chenjun must have something important to do here, so let's come to my office to discuss it in detail first."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Mr. Aida."
Aida Zhenjian's office is on the third floor, and when he took Zhao Chen upstairs, Aida Zhenjian introduced it by the way, such as the editing room, discussion room, restaurant, etc.
Zhao Chen remembered them one by one, especially when he saw a familiar figure in the restaurant, wasn't this the childish young man at the beginning!
The childish young man was sitting on the chair with a depressed face at this time, talking to the middle-aged man sitting opposite, if Zhao Chen didn't guess wrong, the middle-aged man should be the editor-in-charge.
