"You don't have to apologize......"

Uematsuno faced Miyamoto Ping and slowly closed his eyes.

STRANGE TO SAY, HE HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO SURPASS "SLAM DUNK" AT FIRST, AND WHEN THE LITTLE BOOK CAME OUT AND KNEW THE DETAILED RANKINGS AND VOTES, HE GRADUALLY REGAINED HIS PEACE OF MIND AFTER A FEW HOURS OF EXTREME DISAPPOINTMENT.

When Miyamoto Ping rushed back to Uematuno's studio, he had already adjusted, but when Miyamoto Ping mentioned it again, his mood was still very low.

"Actually, even the editor-in-chief didn't expect this ranking. But the votes are very real, and the editor-in-chief personally checked the number of votes, and there is nothing wrong. Miyamoto was also somewhat guilty.

He knew very well how much Uematsuno had paid for the 46-page serialization.

The workload is not as simple as 1+1=2, just like a 40-page name, which cannot be simply separated from the middle and become two words, because a word in the comic is a small unit, and the relationship between each page will be close, and at the same time, it will also affect the layout of a sentence, for example, how to mobilize the reader's emotions, how to design the fight storyboard, and most importantly, how to design the suspense at the end.

Therefore, the length of the article has increased, and Uematsuno has to redesign the name to ensure the smoothness of the story and the relevance of the plot.

For this reason, Uematsuno was busy for two weeks, but he still lost.

"What if...... The magazine didn't design a calendar like that for SLAM DUNK, and SLAM DUNK probably won't win the Gate of Eternal Life. Miyamoto complained.

"But There's still animation in Eternal Gate." Uematsuno sighed, "Animation has a lot of advantages...... Can't compare, just can't compare...... But why lose, I always have to know, right? ”

“…… ......" Miyamoto Hei hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Uematsuno's depressed expression, he said stubbornly, "Teacher, the editor-in-chief said that many of the people who voted for "The Gate of Eternal Life" also voted for "SLAM DUNK". ”

"Huh?" Uematsuno looked at Miyamoto Taira, and was silent for three or four seconds, then shook his head, "That's not right." Miyamoto, you should also know that this kind of thing can't be one-sided. SLAM DUNK READERS ALSO VOTED FOR THE GATE OF ETERNAL LIFE, SO THERE ARE OTHER REASONS. ”

"No, teacher, you really don't know. THERE ARE SOME READERS WHO HAVE NEVER READ MANGA BEFORE, THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO "SLAM DUNK" AND DO NOT HAVE A DEEP AFFECTION FOR "ETERNAL GATE". In this part of the postcards, there are really not many postcards that write "The Gate of Eternal Life" on the postcards. Miyamoto retorted.

"Huh?" Uematsuno was stunned, and stayed for about ten seconds before he laughed, "I know...... Lost unjustly...... Miyamoto, you know what? I didn't lose unjustly. THE READERS OF SLAM DUNK COMPLETELY COVER THE READERS OF THE GATE OF ETERNAL LIFE, AND VICE VERSA, THE GATE OF ETERNAL LIFE DOES NOT. ”

Miyamoto opened his mouth, but there was no way to refute it.

The readership of the two manga is not the same.

Readers who like to read comics have a high probability of reading both comics, but those who have not been exposed to comics before may not have read "The Gate of Eternal Life".

Internet cafes may provide free comics for those who need them, but it is not possible for those who work to stay in Internet cafes for long periods of time.

Therefore, reading sixty or seventy volumes of manga in a short period of time is not so realistic, first, the time cost is high, and second, the funds do not allow.

For these new readers, "The Gate of Eternal Life" is like a rootless duckweed, without the slightest foundation to speak of, at most it is just a lively look, and the cohesion is not as good as "SLAM DUNK".

AS FOR THE READERS WHO HAVE BEEN PULLED BACK BY "SLAM DUNK" - ISN'T THE REASON WHY THEY HAVE COME OUT OF THE PIT IS BECAUSE THEY FEEL THAT "THE GATE OF ETERNAL LIFE" IS BORING?

"I want to take a break for a while, and if possible, I want to meet with Teacher Shen." Uematsuno took a deep breath and looked at Ping Miyamoto.

"What?" Miyamoto's face was poopy, and he waved his hand again and again, "Rest? Do you want to see Mr. Shen? No way! ”

"Why?" Uematsuno was puzzled.

"'The king doesn't see the king', as the top two in "Young Leap", teacher, you took the initiative to go to Huaxia to meet Teacher Shen, and you were at a disadvantage in the competition with Teacher Shen, and this is only from your point of view. If it is from a commercial point of view, it is even more not, not only because the sales of "Shonen Leap" will be affected, but also because the production of animation will be affected. At present, the length of the comics of "The Gate of Eternal Life" can barely keep up with the production schedule of the animation, which is still due to the fact that the producer has extended the replay time of each episode. If the teacher takes a break, the animation will be affected. ”

The production of animation is not as simple as manga, and even if Uematsuno only takes a break for two or three weeks, it will completely disrupt the arrangement of the animation company, and even, the animation company may end the animation with the end of a certain plot. Later, even if the comic is republished, the animation company will not start the project in a short time.

This kind of behavior that will cause commercial losses, unless it is absolutely necessary, such as physical reasons, otherwise, if the cartoonist can create, it is better to continue to create. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the magazine society to operate.

Uematsuno also understood Miyamoto's difficulty, and sighed, "That'...... Forget it, I'm just worried that the quality of creating comics in its current state will decline significantly, which is not necessarily a good thing for the magazine. What's more, this sentence on page 46 really exhausted me...... My body may not be able to handle it either. ”

Miyamoto's face changed twice, his brows furrowed, and he was silent.

The body of the cartoonist is also very important to the magazine, otherwise, it will affect the subsequent creation of the comic.

Just when Uematsuno was about to give up, Miyamoto Ping let out a long sigh, "Okay." I would propose to the magazine that the animation company make an original plot, but the specific operation depends on the arrangement of the animation company. ”

"It's for the best." Uematsuno nodded again and again, and his expression eased a lot.

"As for meeting with Mr. Shen...... I still don't recommend it. I think that sooner or later, Mr. Shen will come to District 11 again, such as to participate in the annual meeting or the activities of the magazine, and at that time, your encounter will be very natural and will not have a negative impact on you or Mr. Shen. Some bloggers or broadcasters who like to use gimmicks to attract readers especially like the news that seems to be wrong. Ping Miyamoto explained.

"Don't worry, I just said casually, even if I go to Huaxia, I can't find Teacher Shen." Uematsuno smiled reluctantly, "However, if you have the opportunity to take a trip, it should be of great benefit to your future creations, so I'll leave it to you." ”

Miyamoto bowed, "Do your best." ”
