Chapter 327: The White Book of Youyou
During his return to the island country, Zhao Chen took the time to come to the apartment where the assistants were located after sorting out the reports compiled by the executives of the Tianxia Society.
The reason why he came here this time was because after another half a year of accumulation, Yoshihiro Fujian thought that his strength was enough, so he took the time to draw a short story and handed it to Tianxia Society, wanting to participate in a recent event of Tianxia Society.
Yoshihiro Fujian's work is "Alcatel Detective Group", you can tell from the name that this is a detective comic, but the plot in it Zhao Chen is not eye-catching at all, Yoshihiro Fujian is not suitable for detective comics, at least not now, because the characteristics of detective comics have not been brought into play, at least Zhao Chen sees it this way.
However, the reason why he came here to find Yoshihiro Fujian is mainly because although Yoshihiro Fujian is only an assistant now, he has already gained some fame in the comic circle, mainly because of his talent, especially Zhao Chen's identity as an assistant has added a lot of points to him. It can be said that although Yoshihiro Tomiyasu is still just an assistant, there are many comic clubs that want to dig him. Zhao Chen was most afraid that Fu Jianyi would be arrogant and couldn't help but be angry, and he would be exploited by other comic clubs, after all, how could there be a thousand days of anti-thief truth.
Rather than this, it is better to let him make a name for himself, so that he can become another weapon of the World Society, anyway, the current Yoshihiro Tomiyasu already has the level of a cartoonist.
Of course, due to the recent eventful season, Tianxia Society needs to sharply increase its strength, so that it is possible to regain the title of the first manga company after this year. As the saying goes, one step at a time, only one step ahead can better suppress the opponent.
When it comes to Yoshihiro Tomin, the most reminiscent is his famous work "Yuyu Hakusho". In terms of popularity at the time, "Yuyou Hakusho" is enough to be compared with "Dragon Ball" serialized in the same period, which can be said to be quite powerful, of course, the premise is that it cannot be compared with sales, and the sales gap between the two is several times. Regardless of the popularity of "Yuyou Hakusho", Yoshihiro Fujian's status as the Four Heavenly Kings of "Young Jump" at that time was basically established.
However, at that time, after the end of "Yu Yu Hakusho", what impressed Zhao Chen the most was that Yoshihiro Tomiyasu created the shocking "levelE", a work of just three volumes that completely broke the old format of juvenile comics at that time, and became an unforgettable and unprecedented work in the history of island comics. This is a humorous storytelling technique and wonderful layout. to express this short work with an alien theme. is enough to show his talent as a screenwriter, which shows the strength of his talent. Every comic club has some shrewd editors to a greater or lesser extent, and poaching talents from other comic clubs has always been one of the main ideas of the editors of the comic club. Perhaps their idea is to poach the opponent's rising star, not only to make the opponent's strength decrease. It can make the gap between the two sides even bigger. It doesn't matter if the person who poached it is useful or not. And that's the competition.
Since the merger of the three major publishers into the Hitotsubashi Publishing Group, all the manga publishers can be said to be in danger, and they are very eager to strengthen their own strength in a limited time. lest it be broken by a light yì. Among them, those who have money will try to buy other comic clubs, and those who have no money or are reluctant to pay will find ways to poach cartoonists from other comic clubs.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Chen will choose to let Fujian Yibo debut now, lest Fujian Yibo can't resist the temptation to leave, which will outweigh the losses. Anyway, with Zhao Chen's understanding of Yoshihiro Fujian, this product belongs to an undisciplined cartoonist, because you can't guarantee that he will continue to stay here without a contract.
"Oh, Mr. Zhao Chen!" Although Zhao Chen gave a lot of work to his assistants, it was not a lot if it was distributed to everyone, at least these assistants had their own spare time and could have time to conceive their own comics. But even so, these assistants still came to the apartment early every day to work, for fear that Zhao Chen would come over early in the morning, and it would be miserable at that time. After all, most bosses don't like their subordinates who are late for work.
What's more, Zhao Chen occasionally comes over to collaborate on a comic with an assistant, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation for them, and they all come very early, which is not surprising even to the lazy Fujian Yoshihiro, just to avoid accidentally losing this opportunity.
Facing the greetings of many assistants, Zhao Chen nodded, and said to Fu Jian, who was working: "Fu Jian, you come to the office!" ”
As soon as this sentence came out, the audience was stunned, and they all looked at the overwhelmed Fujian Yoshihiro.
"Me? No way! Yoshihiro Fujian stared, and after seeing the eyes of others, he suddenly said with an incredulous expression.
After Yoshihiro Fujian walked towards the office, a cadre of assistants suddenly felt disappointed, and muttered: Why is it called him, why is it not me, I am obviously much more diligent.
"But you can't match your talent!" Takahashi, who was a little black-bellied, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said such a sentence, he was actually unwilling in his heart, thinking that his current strength was no worse than that of Tomiyasu Yoshihiro.
"I just hope it's not a good thing!" Some assistants who can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour can only comfort themselves like this, but maybe even they don't believe it, after all, with Zhao Chen's status, if he just came to scold people, why should he come in person, and according to the previous situation, it is very likely that they will cooperate.
Not to their surprise, after Yoshihiro Fujian entered the office, Zhao Chen came up with an intention to cooperate, that is, Yoshihiro Fujian's famous work - "Youyou White Book"!
"Youyou Baishu" can be said to be the first anime centered on supporting characters that Zhao Chen has seen in his previous life, and each supporting role is extremely powerful for the protagonist at that time, whether it is strength or spiritual thinking height, especially the spiritual height of Xianshui at the end. Of course, there is another reason that the protagonist does not have many passionate scenes, except for the last moment when his father Lei Chan possessed him, he broke out with pleasure, and the rest of the sincerity was not too impressive. In other words, this manga belongs to the comic where the protagonist is a little silent and the supporting characters are brilliant.
In addition, "Youyou Baishu" is also a very special comic in Zhao Chen's mind, because it is the first adult-oriented comic that Zhao Chen has come into contact with, and the comics are no longer just strange fantasies, hot-blooded teenagers and even inspirational ones. Although in Zhao Chen's mind, the status of this comic is not as good as many classic comics.
In the future, "Yuyu Hakusho" is a manga work serialized by Yoshihiro Tomiyasu in "Weekly Shonen Jump", and a total of 19 copies will be released.
"Yu Yu Hakusho" was originally named "Yu Yu Yuji", but the name of this comic was too similar to "Zhen Yuji", another work serialized at the same time, so it was eventually renamed "Yu Yu Hakushu". In addition to its sales and fame, it also won the 39th Shogakukan Manga Award in the Shonen Category, and during the serialization period, it was listed as one of the three representative manga of "Weekly Shonen Jump" in the mid-1990s, along with "Dragon Ball" and "Slam Dunk".
However, although it is the three representative comics in 1990, the sales gap between these three comics is still quite large, and "Dragon Ball" naturally goes without saying, even "Slam Dunk" has a single book of more than 100 million. However, the total sales of the comics of "Yu Yu Hakusho" are only 50 million. The difference seems to be very obvious. However, if you calculate the average single book, even in terms of average single book sales, "Youyou Hakushu" is at the bottom of the three major comics, but the gap between the three is not large.
This is also the most representative work of Yoshihiro Tomiyasu, which set off an unprecedented craze at the time, whether it is its TV anime version or peripheral products, it became the hottest topic at the time. This also preliminarily proves Fu Jian's title of ghost talent. Pave the way for future fame.
Although "Full Time Hunter" is also outstanding. The sales are also higher, but in fact, hunter fans also have to thank this "Yuyou Hakusho", because if there is no prestige and popularity accumulated in the early stage of "Yuyou Hakusho". Back then, Yoshihiro Tomiyatsu's off-script Cheng dù should have been cut in half by the editorial team of "Shonen JUMP". Although "Yu Yu Hakushu" and "Full-time Hunter" belong to two styles, they can also be regarded as the ghost works of Yoshihiro Fujian, and with Yoshihiro Fujian's laziness in the future, I am afraid that it will be very good to finish the hunter in his lifetime.
In fact, in general, the world view of "Youyou Hakushu" is not as grand as "Full-time Hunter", but the plot is more compact, and the style of martial arts is more prominent. It can be said that the two are not much different.
However, if Zhao Chen looks at "Youyou Baishu" from his current eyes, he will feel that the previous story is not too attractive, and it basically belongs to the rhythm of fighting monsters and upgrading. It was only when it came to the emotional drama between Brother Toguro and Phantom Sea that it began to be exciting, and then the plots of Toguro Lu's self-willing punishment, to Sensui's suspicion of all mankind and the struggle of multiple personalities, etc., are also outstanding. It can be said that these plots are likely to make a deeper and deeper impression on comic book fans.
And when the plot begins to enter the climax, the entire "Youyou White Book" can be said to have entered the climax stage more and more, especially when it comes to the Demon Realm chapter. Judging from the eyes of the year, whether it is the shape, personality or past of the characters, it is enough to make most comic fans fascinated. In particular, the two short stories of Feiying and Tibetan Horse can be said to be quite exciting, which increases the tenderness of the already cold Feiying, increases the cruelty factor of the already delicate Tibetan Horse, and explains the past of Huangquan and the body clearly, and the character is naturally clear, it can be said that these bridges are enough to make people refreshed.
After Lei Chan's old friends appeared, it suddenly added too many possibilities to this comic, and no one could guess what kind of plot would happen later. As Kurama said, "S-class is only the standard of the spirit world, and they classify all the monsters they can't deal with as S-class, which is an insult to the inhabitants of the deep demon world." ”
But just when everyone thought that they were going to do a big job at this time, "Youyou Baishu" suddenly came to an abrupt end and ended unexpectedly. Such an abrupt ending is enough to make countless comic fans sigh, and many comic fans think that this is a bad ending.
It can be said that the ending of "Youyou Hakushu" has become two extremes, one side is naturally the good side, thinking that it is the sudden ending that leaves so much suspense, which makes comic fans feel unfinished, and it will make so many people keep thinking about this ending, leaving a lot of room for imagination, just like a storyteller told me the characters of the story, the framework, but he left without telling a specific story. Although I didn't hear the stories, I would have a lot of different stories in my head, which is commonly known as brain supplement. So, compared with other complete stories that have been heard, this story will always be a very special story.
Of course, there are good and bad sides, maybe it's love to the extreme, it's hate, or it's obviously giving hope but then hitting it into the abyss, mainly some comic fans are fascinated by it. When I saw the end, I thought that "Youyou Hakusho" was about to enter another climax, but I found that it was over, and this sense of gap from heaven to hell suddenly made people's hearts cool and cool, so there were many comic fans who thought it was a bad ending.
However, no matter which one it was, Yoshihiro Tomiyasu at that time can be said to be completely famous, and his reputation can be compared with several comic masters at that time, and the subsequent "Full-time Hunter" even raised Yoshihiro Fujian's status to the height of a master.
However, Yoshihiro Fujian originally had the opportunity to go further, but after the end of "Yuyou Hakusho" at that time, maybe he became famous in just a few years or married a richer cartoonist's wife, anyway, Yoshihiro Fujian began to implement his lazy Dafa later. and hold so-called mahjong tournaments. As a result, "Full-time Hunter" often has three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, and even intensified in the end to the point that only a few issues are serialized a year.
It is precisely because this "Youyou Baishu" was so popular at that time that the old thief has the psychological and practical capital to get off the manuscript from then on. On the other hand, the ending of "Yuyou Hakushu" may also be said to be the ending given by Yoshihiro Fujian who doesn't want to draw it, of course, these are only clear to himself.
It's like once you're rich and famous. You're going to get up early and get on with your old life. I'm afraid most people will say that they will continue. But in fact, on the contrary, there are often very few people who can continue to persevere, and many more people start to become hedonistic. It's the psychology of people. Just like many people will be a junior after becoming a rich man, it is the embodiment of desire/desire and psychology.
Yoshihiro Fujian looked at the outline and character modeling of "Yuyou Hakusho" seriously, and he didn't feel much about the plot at the beginning. As a delinquent teenager, Yusuke Urahan was hit by a car and killed in order to save a child, and because the spirit world did not anticipate his death, there was no place for him, so he was given a chance to be reborn. After passing the test of the spirit world, Yusuke finally returned to his body and became a spirit detective.
In fact, this kind of soul body existence has long appeared in comics, and it can be said that it is not new, and Yoshihiro Fujian naturally does not take a high look at it. However, when he moved forward with the plot, he found that although the front of this comic was a bit dull, the back was quite exciting.
During a mission, Yusuke befriends Kurama and Tokage, and the trio and Kuwabara begin to solve many cases for the spirit world. Immediately after defeating their strong opponents in the Dark Martial Arts Tournament, their strength and friendship can be said to have grown day by day.
In order to prevent the former spirit detective Sensui Shinobi from opening the passage from the demon world to the human world, they entered the demon world, during which Yusuke was "killed" by the fairy water, but because Yusuke was originally a descendant of the demons, Yusuke was resurrected again. With the help of his ancient ancestors, Yusuke finally defeated Sensui and returned to the human realm.
The fight between Yusuke and Sensui can be said to alarm the youkai in the Demon Realm, and the three most powerful groups - Huangquan, Raizen, and Torso each send invitations to Kurama, Yusuke, and Feiying, hoping that they can become their assistants. Yusuke was dissatisfied with Lei Chan for helping him when he was fighting with Sensui and wanted to go to him to "settle accounts"; In order to give himself more combat opportunities and experience, Flying Shadow also accepted the invitation of the body; Zangma also accepted Huang Quan's request, and the three of them returned to the Demon Realm again, and they became the second strongest in various countries in less than a year.
A year later, Raizen died, and Yusuke became the ruler of the country, and proposed to hold a battle to unite the demons, so that the victors could become the rulers of the demons, and the losers would obey the orders of the victors. However, the winner of the First Demon Realm Unification War was Lei Chan's former friend, the Smoker, who finally established the rule of "not interfering with the human realm", and hoped to hold the same competition again every three years. After the race, Yusuke and Kuroma return to the Human Realm, while Flying Shadow intends to stay in the Demon Realm.
Zhao Chen did not change the meaning of "Youyou Baishu", perhaps in his opinion, there was no need to change "Youyou Baishu". Even if it is to be changed, it is only a small matter, and it can be completely left to Fujian Yoshihiro to do.
After reading the outline and character modeling, Yoshihiro Fujian couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, but he was thinking about Zhao Chen in his heart
is worthy of being recognized as the strongest comic master at present, but I didn't expect to come up with a random comic outline to be so exciting. At least he was very satisfied when he watched it, thinking that once this work entered the serialization, he might be able to get quite high results.
Maybe it was quite satisfied, or maybe his own laziness also produced some tendencies, but in short, Yoshihiro Fujian finally agreed to cooperate. In his opinion, he is not stupid, he will miss such a good comic if he doesn't draw it, even if the manuscript fee needs to be shared equally with Zhao Chen. But in general, it's all earned, with Zhao Chen's fame, there will naturally be too many comic fans who pay attention, and when the sales are high, the person in charge of drawing comics will have to rise and rise.
The two parties finally signed a contract agreement, but when Zhao Chen left, he had one more thought in his heart, that is, maybe because this comic is a cooperative relationship between the two, Yoshihiro Fujian may not become the king of manuscripts like later generations, although even Zhao Chen's heart is suspicious of this possibility. (To be continued......)
