In the conference room of Shonen Leap, six people sit on either side of the conference table.

On one side are Wang Wenhong, Yu Chen, and Shi Peixu, and on the other side are Toru Murakami, Tachibana Shin, and a translator specially invited by Toru Murakami in order to improve the fluency of communication.

Originally, Wang Wenhong felt that he didn't need a translator, but then he thought that if there was a misunderstanding between the two sides because of his translation mistakes, he would not be able to get rid of his responsibility, so he agreed with Murakami's suggestion.

As long as the other party's translation does not use too biased words, Wang Wenhong thinks that he can keep up, and the other party should not dare to make any trouble.

First of all, Yu Chen expressed his expectations for the production of "SLAM DUNK".

"If you have reservations about the cost of funding, we can fully contribute."

Murakami touched the teacup with both hands and was silent, this negotiation should have been in charge of Tachibana Shin, but after the end of the anime, the sales of SLAM DUNK's single book have been improving well, and the ranking of the small book is also widening the gap with other manga.

Such a comic, according to common sense, should not have so many twists and turns.

He didn't come here this time to decide anything, but to see the results of the discussions between the two sides.

Anyway, "SLAM DUNK" was also signed by him, and at that time, he didn't know how much effort it took to keep "SLAM DUNK" in "Shonen Leap".

Coincidentally, after the serialization of "SLAM DUNK", "Shonen Leap" not only stabilized its decline, but the magazine's sales also increased a bit, so he still has a good impression of "SLAM DUNK".

But I'm afraid that Tachibana doesn't think so, or does he think that since he took over "Shonen Leap", he has wanted to make "Shonen Exorcist" a new pillar?

"If cartoonists think that if they can get the opportunity to remake the animation as long as they make trouble, then how will I manage these cartoonists in the future?" Instead of refusing, Tachibana asked a question.

"However, you are reluctant to spend money on comics of the caliber of "SLAM DUNK", and instead hand them over to a manga company - during this period, you also used a low-quality outsourcing company. There are also complaints about your company's practices on the Internet, right? Wang Wenhong said.

"Can you believe what you say online? Besides, "Young Exorcist" is the pillar of "Young Leap", and everyone will see what the results are. As long as you want to draw well, there will be more opportunities. Mr. Shen is so anxious, I'm afraid it's not because "SLAM DUNK" relies on animation to increase sales, right? Tachibana took a sip of tea, "We've already made the animation. Originally, I was going to do a long game, but you had to do a season, otherwise, how could there be so much trouble? You don't think that the animation company's attitude towards Changban is the same as that of Jiban, right? I was hoping for a follow-up cooperation, but I have a temper when you make all kinds of requests again and again. ”

At this point, the words froze.

Murakami knew that it would not go well, but he didn't expect Tachibana to speak so deadly, but standing in Tachibana's position and thinking carefully for a moment, it is not difficult to guess the reason why Tachibana has such an attitude.

In fact, Tachibana Shin's new editor-in-chief needs to prove himself to the top with his achievements.

How to prove it?

Achievement, or more utilitarian, is performance.

The sales of magazines, the attention of comics, and the popularity of single books in the market.

IF YOU HAVE SLAM DUNK IN YOUR HAND, YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE FIRST ONE, BECAUSE ANYONE WITH A DISCERNING EYE CAN SEE THAT IT WORKS BEST.

In fact, during the release of the "SLAM DUNK" anime, the volume increased by an average of 300,000 copies, and the total sales exceeded 5 million copies, which met expectations.

The cost is not high, but the benefit is very high, in Tachibana Shen's view, the publicity effect of the animation has reached the predetermined requirements, and even has the idea of using knight in the future.

Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong expressed their request to change the production company before the animation was finished.

Once or twice, Tachibana Shen still remembered it, but as the communication between the two sides increased, he had some resistance, and later, Shen Xin posted a Weibo refusing to make an animation without greeting him, which also made him very annoyed.

It is up to him to decide whether to make a comic or not.

Subsequently, Tachibana carefully read the contract between the two parties, and he knew that Shen Xin had the confidence to do so, but he was a little disgusted with being led by the cartoonist by the nose.

If you follow the previous rules, no matter what level of cartoonist you are, if you dare to call the magazine, all of them will be refrigerated.

Magazines must be authoritative.

But now that I am hindered by "Comic Future", there are some things that cannot be rejected directly, at least to find a reason for the other party to agree.

Murakami picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, but stared at a few people opposite.

If it was Shen Xin, what would he do? Is it to back down, or to go toe-to-toe with the Tachibana gentry?

He wants both sides to take a step back, and at the moment, it will be difficult.

Although Tachibana Gentry had a bad temper, he also wanted to know how Wang Wenhong would deal with Tachibana Sentry's rhetoric.

Wang Wenhong chuckled, took a sip of tea, and said: "Before the serialization of "SLAM DUNK", there were at least three magazines in District 11 that wanted to get the serialization of "SLAM DUNK", in addition to your magazine, it also included comics of the level of "Zhou Man top". We chose your journal because we believe that such a large platform as your journal will be fair and equitable. From your magazine's point of view, you feel that you are qualified to arrange the attribution of resources, and this is not wrong. After all, these are all plans made by your journal according to its own arrangement, and others are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks.

But from a cartoonist's point of view, it's a different story. COMICS OF THE CALIBER OF SLAM DUNK ARE NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY YOUR MAGAZINE, SO WHY DO THEY SPEND SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT CREATING?

"You may be able to temporarily vent the anger that has been held back for a long time, but what about the future? When other magazines come to poach people, take our example as a counterexample, what will the cartoonists who are poached think? As long as the dominoes fall first, and how many will fall, they are out of your control. ”

Murakami took a breath, he didn't expect Wang Wenhong to be so ruthless.

It seems to be a negotiation between Shen Xin and "Young Leap", but after Wang Wenhong said this, he immediately set the cartoonist and the magazine against each other.

"Then you don't have to worry about it. It's normal for cartoonists to flow, even if a group of cartoonists leave, there are other young cartoonists. Isn't it normal for the author to change between the old and the new? ”

"Speaking of the old and the new...... I've got some interesting stats, would you be interested in looking at them? Wang Wenhong said with a smile.

Yu Chen immediately glanced at Wang Wenhong, the materials made last night are just for now?

"What data?" Murakami couldn't help but speak.

When Tachibana saw Murakami speak, he had to swallow his words again.

"Borrow a projector." Wang Wenhong opened the briefcase and took out his laptop from it.
