The Lingnan team, which lost the fish pillar, no longer has the magic when they fought against Hainan.

Everyone in the Xiangbei team showed their strength, and with 8 minutes and 24 seconds left in the time, Xiangbei led by 7 points at 53:36.

In the short time after Yuzhu left the field, the balance of victory seemed to be tilting towards northern Hunan ......

This plot is one of the few times in Xiangbei that it can lead by a large score when competing with opponents of equal strength, and readers naturally like this kind of plot.

After three weeks of silence, "SLAM DUNK" once again topped the small book of "Shonen Leap" with the phrase "Cry of Victory", and trampled "The Gate of Eternal Life" and "Young Exorcist" under their feet.

Tachibana Shin believes that this ranking of "SLAM DUNK" is very real and normal, and the reason is that the release of the "SLAM DUNK" anime.

A MONTH AND A HALF AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE ANIME, THE SALES OF "SLAM DUNK" INCREASED TO 1.4 MILLION COPIES.

This sales volume is enough to satisfy Tachibana Shin, and as for the mixed reviews of "SLAM DUNK" on the Internet, of course he knows, but if it wasn't for the timely launch of "SLAM DUNK", he would not have been named and praised by the chairman at the company-wide editor-in-chief meeting.

Well, it has only been a year since I became the editor-in-chief of "Young Leap", and I was praised by my superiors, which is a perfect start.

After the meeting ended, Tachibana congratulated each other with the people around him, and walked out of the conference room with a notepad.

The elevator was full of people, and some people didn't want to wait and went straight down the stairs.

The editorial office of "Shonen Leap" was only three floors away from the conference room, and Tachibana Shin saw that it took a long time to wait for the elevator, so he prepared to take the stairs.

Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

Tachibana looked back, only to see Murakami standing behind him.

"Team Leader Murakami." Tachibana gentry bowed slightly.

"There are too many people waiting for the elevator...... Why don't you go to my office for a cup of coffee first? Murakami said with a smile.

Tachibana didn't know what Murakami wanted to do, but the high-level officials had praised him by name, and it shouldn't be a bad thing for Murakami to find him.

What's more, with Murakami Toru as his boss, Tachibana Gentry is really hard to refuse.

"Since you say so, I'm sorry for you." Tachibana Gentry bowed slightly and said in a low voice.

Toru Murakami's office is on the same floor as the conference room, but the location is a little remote and the place is not big, but fortunately, there are two glass walls, and the scenery outside can be seen at a glance.

Serving the ground coffee, Murakami handed one of the cups to Tachibana Shin, and at the same time, he sat on the single sofa and looked at Tachibana Shin who was sitting next to him.

Tachibana Sask took a sip and frowned slightly: "Team leader Murakami, do you have any sugar cubes here?" ”

"Nope. I like and bitter coffee. ”

"Why? Taste? ”

"Of course not. Who likes to drink bitter? Murakami shook his head, "I drink bitter coffee because I want to remind myself not to be deceived by sugar cubes and milk." Bitter taste, which can make people alert. ”

The smile on Tachibana Sentry's face immediately stiffened, "Team Leader Murakami, if you have anything to say, just say it?" ”

"First of all, congratulations, the sales of "Shonen Leap" exceeded 4.75 million copies, and there are also achievements in terms of single book. In addition to "The Gate of Eternal Life", "Shonen Leap" has a second serialized manga that can exceed one million volumes, "SLAM DUNK". Murakami laughed.

"Thank you, this is inseparable from everyone's efforts, on the contrary, I have done the least." Tachibana stared at Toru Murakami, wondering what he was thinking.

"No, no, no, you have a big role. If you change someone, you may not have this result. It's yours, and no one can take it away. ”

Tachibana had a smug look on his face, and he had put a lot of effort into getting the sales of "Shonen Leap" up.

"There's one thing I'd like to ask."

"Huh?"

"WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SLAM DUNK ANIME?"

"That's good. ANIME DRIVES SALES OF SLAM DUNK, RIGHT? Before the anime was released, it had an average volume of only 1 million copies. Now, its total sales have exceeded 26 million copies, which is a terrifying sales. ”

"HOWEVER, THE ANIMATION OF "SLAM DUNK" HAS ALSO BEEN CRITICIZED BY READERS, AND IT IS NOT TOO OBVIOUS IN THE FRONT, BUT THE LATEST EPISODE IS REALLY TOO BAD, AND THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE COLLAPSES." Murakami took a sip of coffee, slightly bitter in his mouth.

"Team Leader Murakami, I'll be honest with you, right? Animation is never easy. It's good that "SLAM DUNK" can be released in the summer, and only knight has the manpower and time to do it. I'll admit,knight in the summer again,Imposed a light change animation.,It's really beyond my expectations.,But,Animation is to promote comics.,As long as the comics can sell, it's OK.,In fact,"SLAM DUNK's current results are also good.,It also proves that the animation is good or bad.,It doesn't affect the sales of the manga.,Right? Tachibana said patiently.

"Then why don't you move 'SLAM DUNK' to the fall?"

"There's "Young Exorcist" in the fall, and this animation is also very important to it."

"What if we had two comics change locations and change production companies?" Murakami asked again.

"Let me put it this way, if I have the resources, I'm definitely more inclined to 'The Exorcist'. "SLAM DUNK" is very powerful, it can compete with "The Gate of Eternal Life" in a small book, and the sales of the single book are also very high, ranking second below "The Gate of Eternal Life". However, Team Leader Murakami, no matter how you say it, we don't have the complete copyright of it, and the copyright of the foreign single book is not in our hands. Even if we invest a lot of resources in it, we can only get the benefits of District 11. Compared to this, "The Exorcist" has more advantages, we have more copyrights, and we can also promote it abroad, which is the most important. Tachibana was triumphant.

Murakami didn't expect Tachibana to answer like this, and he was a little upset, and said: "Don't worry about the first season, the second season of "SLAM DUNK" must change companies, just orochi, right?" ”

“orochi？” Tachibana was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again, "To be honest, it's unlikely. ”

Murakami's brows furrowed, and he became angry.

"Don't be angry, listen to me. Orochi is certainly a good company, but there is a reason why I didn't want to choose orochi. Orochi's production budget for a single episode is higher, we have to pay more costs, and Orochi has not yet had experience in making 100 episodes of animation, so in the future, the budget may exceed the advance, and besides, we have only worked with Orochi a handful of times, which is far less than the tacit understanding of knight. In many ways, I always think that orochi is not a good choice. ”

Tachibana gave a tough explanation, and seeing that Murakami's face was flushed, he guessed that he was not too satisfied with his decision, so he chuckled: "If you have to let me change to Orochi or other companies, it means that my decision has been denied, and it also means that I am reluctant to be the editor-in-chief." Then, Shonen Leap will be handed back to you. ”
