By the time the party ended, it was already dark.

The December wind was as sharp as a knife, and it hurt a little on the cheeks, especially when you came out of a warm hotel.

Fortunately, the sky is beautiful, the moon and stars are scarce, and the drunken editors will not brave the snow to move forward.

Threes and threes in twos and twos, supporting each other on the return trip, a little drunk, Tachibana Gentry called for a taxi, let the driver wait for them to go home, the account was on him, and he was reimbursed tomorrow.

"Don't be late tomorrow."

Every time he sent someone away, the Tachibana gentry did not forget to say a word.

Play is fun, trouble is trouble, work is the right thing.

Kotani Sena is also a little superior, plus he is older, and after drinking, he is a little drunk, so he is ready to take a taxi home.

"Mr. Kotani, wait a minute, I have something to tell you." Tachibana suddenly lowered her voice and said something in Kotani Senna's ear.

Kotani Senna was surprised, instantly sobered up a lot, and looked at Tachibana Shen with some confusion, and before he could speak, Tachibana Shen said, "It has something to do with "SLAM DUNK" and "Young Exorcist". ”

"Huh?"

Kotani Chimei looked at Tachibana in surprise, and with the help of the light of the street lamp, he saw that Tachibana S. had rosy cheeks, but he was in good spirits.

"Editor-in-chief, are you drunk?" China Kotani asked tentatively.

"If I'm really drunk, I guess I'll forget to check out, right?" The corners of Tachibana's mouth curled, jokingly.

The cold winter wind came into contact with China Kotani's skin along the gaps in his clothes.

He shuddered, and he was completely tired.

"SLAM DUNK" and "Junior Exorcist" ...... What could it be?

After sending the last person away, Tachibana Squire's eyes narrowed, "Mr. Kotani, there's a teahouse nearby, let's go drink two cups of tea, shall we?" ”

Kotani Senna didn't know the careful thoughts of Tachibana Sentry, so he bowed his head slightly and followed Tachibana Sentry to a teahouse across the road.

Tea and pastries were prepared, and Tachibana Shin also loosened his tie and took a sip of tea.

"Editor-in-chief, what is the specific reason why you came to me?" Instead of drinking tea, China Kotani stared at Tachibana Shin.

"Mr. Kotani is now the most powerful editor of Comic Future, right?"

"Also...... Not ......"

China Kotani suddenly heard this sentence and didn't know how to answer.

If you say yes, it seems that no one is in your eyes, after all, Miyamoto still has a copy of "The Gate of Eternal Life" in his hand; If not, Tachibana Gentry will be considered unconfident.

The new editor-in-chief, no one knows his temperament and preferences, and Kotani Senmei also had scruples when he answered.

"Of the top five comics, two are in your hands, so you should be the best editor in the editorial department, right?" Tachibana said with a smile.

Chimei Kotani's face is a little hot, "Young Exorcist" is indeed the work in his hands, but "SLAM DUNK" is obviously not, Tachibana will be wrong.

This matter can't be hidden, Tachibana Gentry will know sooner or later, it's better to break it sooner.

"That...... Actually, Mr. Shen Zheng's affairs are a bit complicated. Kotani China smiled bitterly, "He's not my author. ”

"Mr. Xiao Gu is humble." Tachibana took a sip of tea.

"Not at all. In fact, Mr. Shen Zheng's editor is not me, at best I just receive a manuscript, and the editor of "SLAM DUNK" is in Huaxia. ”

"Comic Future?" Tachibana said suspiciously.

"It's his own...... Mr. Shen has his own personal editor. China Kotani explained.

"Private editor-in-charge?" Tachibana's eyelids twitched, he heard this for the first time, "What did you guys talk about at the time?" ”

"At the time?" Chiena Kotani drank the tea and said weakly: "This is the premise of cooperation, if you don't agree, "SLAM DUNK" will go directly to other magazines." For "Comic Future", Shen Zheng is the soul of the whole magazine, in fact, when he was in "DN", Mr. Shen Zheng had already distanced himself from the magazine. ”

"Comic Future agrees?" Tachibana Sentry was incredulous.

"What if you don't agree? "Y's", "Chess Soul", "Steel Forged", "DN", which one is not a popular bestseller? Even in District 11, sales are good. Such cartoonists, you don't want them, some magazines want them. Now that you know the results of "SLAM DUNK", it is close to "The Gate of Eternal Life", what conditions do you say you can give for such a work? China Kotani asked rhetorically.

Tachibana Shen stuffed a piece of rice cake into his mouth and chewed it slowly, he really underestimated Shen Zheng and "SLAM DUNK" before.

"Mr. Kotani...... the current performance of "SLAM DUNK" has indeed reached a bottleneck, and the ranking of the small book has also dropped slightly in the last few episodes, so I think that it is better to have an anime release to bring popularity to the manga and increase the sales of the manga."

"Well, I've heard that there are now three companies that want to animate SLAM DUNK......"

"Five." Tachibana corrected.

"Five...... Five? China Kotani was taken aback, it was not the same as what he had heard.

"Well, Tongying, Studiok, Knight, Sunkaze, and Orochi." Tachibana explained.

Kotani China's eyelids jumped.

Rifeng is also an old brand of company, and has produced a lot of good animations, but it's really too old, and many employees have left Rifeng and started their own companies, which has led to a serious shrinkage of Rifu's strength, of course, the thin man's camel is bigger than a horse, but to say that he can make amazing works, it's still a little worse.

As for Orochi, China Kotani heard that there is no schedule, is there a change again?

"Before, Mr. Shen's works were all made by Orochi." China Kotani reminded.

"Orochi can't." Tachibana gentleman waved his hand.

China Kotani was a little surprised, and speculated, "It's because of the funds." ”

"Funding is one thing, the main reason is time...... Orochi's schedule can't be arranged.,If it's handed over to Orochi.,The fastest is probably the spring of the next year.,It's too delayed.。 YOU ALSO WANT SLAM DUNK TO HIT THE GATE OF ETERNAL LIFE, RIGHT? Tachibana asked rhetorically.

As Tachibana said, part of it was because Orochi asked for more money, but the fact that the anime would not be released until the year after later was the reason why Tachibana gave up Orochi.

He needs to prove himself quickly and, at the same time, prove to the higher-ups that they made the right decision to make him the editor-in-chief of Teen Leap, but he only has two cards in his hand, one is SLAM DUNK and one is Teen Exorcist.

FOR HIM, THE EASIEST WAY TO DO THIS IS TO INCREASE THE POPULARITY OF SLAM DUNK IN DISTRICT 11 IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, WHILE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASING ITS RANKING ON SMALL BOOKS AND THE SALES OF SINGLE BOOKS.

What can be done to achieve this goal in a short period of time? Animation.

The animation was handed over to Orochi to produce, and the release time was delayed for more than a year, and he really couldn't wait.

"That'...... Editor-in-Chief, which company are you going to give SLAM DUNK to work on? China Kotani said curiously.

"I'm going to hand it over to ......," Tachibana Shin's eyes narrowed, "knight, it has the most relaxed schedule, and it can take over the animation of "SLAM DUNK" in the shortest time. ”

Knight？ I don't think I've done a long ...... in recent years.

Kotani Senmei was a little puzzled, and was about to ask, but heard Tachibana Sentry speak.

"Mr. Kotani, let's talk about "Young Exorcist", shall we?" Tachibana asked.

Kotani Sena's head was a little dizzy, and the strength of the wine came up.
