Chapter 1069: Cartoonists vs. Cartoonists
Murakami looked at Tachibana Sentry coldly.
From Tachibana's words, Murakami can deduce that Tachibana has his own plan.
Young people are really self-righteous.
Murakami repeated the name of Tachibana Gin in his heart.
Tachibana also knew what he had just said, and he had a not-so-good impression in Murakami's heart.
However, no matter which circle it is, it has always been based on results.
As long as he can come up with eye-catching results, even if Murakami is dissatisfied, he will not have anything to say.
That's the reality.
"Self-confidence is a good thing. I'm only afraid of you...... If you play too high, you may get out of control. Murakami held back the anger in his heart and reminded again.
"Don't worry, team leader, I know it." Tachibana Smirk.
It's not a matter of a day or two now that the comic market is sluggish, and even Shonen Leap, the largest comic magazine in District 11, is suffering from the onslaught of webtoons.
Not to mention anything else, the volume of "The Gate of Eternal Life" has never exceeded 3 million copies, and even dropped slightly, which shows the fact that the market for single books is shrinking.
The volume of "SLAM DUNK" has reached 1.4 million copies on average, which is a high sales, but judging from the increase in the single book, the volume of "SLAM DUNK" should reach the limit at some point after the end of this season.
If you want to hit a new high in the sales of single books, it depends on how the plot of the comic is advanced.
In other words, readers who want to buy "SLAM DUNK" have already bought it, and now they are just doing some re-promotion to expand the readership.
Just like "The Gate of Eternal Life", the average volume of 2.9 million copies is its ceiling, and if you want to break through 3 million copies, it will be difficult unless there is a dazzling plot.
The poor results in the early stage of "Young Exorcist" are partly due to Yusuke Hosaka's lack of experience, which leads to many problems with the picture and storyboard. Coincidentally, if the animation company is experienced, it can improve the storyboard, picture and rhythm problems to some extent, so that the sales of "Young Exorcist" will increase significantly.
As long as "The Exorcist" has achieved remarkable results, at the end of the annual meeting, the data of "Young Leap" in all aspects will be more valued by the high-level.
Tachibana Gentry has his own careful thoughts, and he is not nervous at all.
Murakami's mouth opened slightly, and he wanted to blurt out a lot of words, but after all, he was already past the age of impulsiveness, not to mention that even if he was not satisfied, there was no need to say it clearly, so he bowed slightly, "Since you have a plan, I hope you can control it." β
"It's not too much of a problem, I still have the experience of being the editor-in-chief. My plan is to do it in two steps. Now that SLAM DUNK has met my requirements, the next step is to move on to Teen Exorcist. Tachibana Shen was full of confidence, and drank the remaining half cup of coffee, slightly bitter, "Team leader, I still prefer to add a little sugar cube." β
When Tachibana left, Murakami walked to his desk and tapped the table twice, "Don't you like to drink bitter coffee?" That's a pity...... Wang Wenhong, how are you and Shen Zheng going to face the Tachibana gentry? β
Murakami shook his head slightly, if there is a conflict between the two sides, Shen Zheng will definitely be affected, and "Young Leap" will also ...... No, at least Tachibana Gentry can't jump out of the whirlpool easily.
It's hard......
Murakami sighed.
Although he is the superior of Tachibana Gentry, it is not good to forcibly intervene, and there are also people watching him above.
Until now, it can only be counted as one step at a time.

The sky was pouring rain, and Akihabara's largest manga bookstore, Bnim, didn't have as many customers as usual.
Haruka Tamagawa put the umbrella in the designated position, pulled down the baseball cap, and went to the second floor of Bnim.
On the second floor, there are a variety of manga books, and from time to time, customers ask the salesperson about the hottest manga.
Haruka Tamagawa pretended to walk to the salesman's side inadvertently, and when he heard the salesman mention "The Strongest Pitcher", he left quietly with satisfaction.
Everyone has vanity, and Haruka Tamagawa is no exception.
On the ceiling of the second floor, there are more than a dozen large TVs, constantly playing back the animated PV of each manga, and below the PV, the corresponding manga is placed.
The purpose of playing PV is to attract readers, so the works that are broadcast are usually the signatures of major magazines, and "The Strongest Pitcher" happens to be one of them.
It's just that "The Strongest Pitcher" is really not as good as several other comics of "Shonen Leap", so the number of plays is relatively small.
HE WATCHED IT FOR MORE THAN TEN MINUTES, AND FOUND THAT "SLAM DUNK" AND "GATE OF ETERNAL LIFE" HAD THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF TIMES, AND SHOOK HIS HEAD HELPLESSLY, "THE STRONGEST PITCHER" IS INDEED A LOT WORSE THAN THESE TWO.
"I hate it, I've been playing back the pv of "SLAM DUNK", it's so boring."
Haruka Tamagawa suddenly heard someone mention "SLAM DUNK", and it was a rare negative comment, so he immediately paid attention.
It was a young man in his early twenties, watching television with a look of disgust.
βγSLAM DUNKγοΌ Hasn't it been a fire lately? The girl who was walking with the young man was puzzled.
"It's very hot, but I can't stand it. The first few episodes of the anime were okay, but when it came to the training match, it was a little collapsed. I heard that this is a basketball comic, not an everyday one. Why is the daily level so much higher than the animation? It must be that the magazine is not careful, and it is really boring to watch, and watching basketball is not just to excite. Love? But the animation doesn't get exciting at all. Moreover, I heard that this manga has published more than a dozen single books so far, but there are only three or four games, think about it, how long should the plot be? Don't look. β
With that, the young man led the girl to the other booths where comics were placed.
TAMAGAWA HARUKA SHOOK HIS HEAD HELPLESSLY WHEN HE HEARD THIS, TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, THE ANIMATION OF "SLAM DUNK" IS INDEED NOT WORTHY OF A MANGA.
The anime has been going on the Internet for a long time, and many readers have asked for it to be remastered.
Redo?
It's easy to say, but there's simply no room for manoeuvre.
Not long ago, the reputation of a fantasy drama in Mi collapsed, and the audience asked for a redo, but the producer still didn't pay attention to the audience.
It takes money to redo it, and it's a lot of money.
HOWEVER, "SLAM DUNK" WAS SCOLDED BECAUSE OF THE ANIMATION, WHICH IS REALLY A BIT WRONGED. At least, Haruka Tamagawa was not convinced.
Walking to the booth where the SLAM DUNK monograph was placed, there were 18 stacks neatly arranged, of which the 18th volume was the least stacked of all the manga, and only 2 copies remained.
Thinking that he hadn't bought this volume yet, Haruka Tamagawa reached for the 18th volume.
The moment he touched the plastic seal, there was also a person next to him who touched the cover of volume 18.
Tamagawa Haruka raised his head and looked at the man, but saw that it was a middle-aged man in his forties, just like him, he was also wearing a peaked cap, but he had a pair of glasses more than him, and the scum on his cheeks had come out, and he hadn't shaved it for about two or three days.
When the man saw Tamagawa Haruka, he was also stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Mr. Tamagawa? β
"Mr. Uematsu, why are you here?" Haruka Tamagawa was also extremely surprised.
Standing in front of him was none other than Uematsuno, the author of "The Gate of Eternal Life".
The two are frequent visitors to the annual meeting, and Uematsuno debuted a few years earlier than him, but in general, the two are about the same generation, and they have some contact in private, but not too often.
This time I met by chance at Bnim, and Haruka Tamagawa was really a little surprised.
