Chapter 551: Yushin Sekiguchi's persistence
Ryo Watanabe Studio.
This is called a studio.,Actually, it's just since Ryo Watanabe and others debuted on the website of G Society after being banned by the publishing house.,Because there is no manager.,Ryo Watanabe found an acquaintance to help manage the established studio.。
It's said to be a studio.,The main person in charge is only four cartoonists such as Ryo Watanabe.,Although there are also some friends who are entrusted to help deal with issues such as copyright.,But because it's a collaboration with G Society.,Uehara Tomoe and Miyagawa Mumi are extremely good at this kind of work.,There's not too much to deal with.。
So in the end, it was only used as an ordinary meeting point.
But today there are some exceptions.
"Sekiguchi-sensei, do you have any questions about the manga publication this time?"
"Not yet."
Since the serialization of original fanmanga in G Society, Ryo Watanabe and several others have become big-handed fan-level fanfic creators with an annual income of tens of millions of yen on the doujin site, and the manga artists who earn nearly twice the income of ordinary manga artists, naturally some people will catch up because of their income.
As for the previous problems, of course, it was as if nothing had happened.
After all, Yunobu Sekiguchi and others are old fritters who have been in the industry for a long time, although they are irritable, but under the turn of Ryo Watanabe, they still did not refuse the invitation of the publishing house and promised to publish the new original comics.
Of course, because of the rejection of the exclusive treaty, the proportion of the contracted share is low. However, publishing a manga artist is a resounding title, and G Company didn't care at all about agreeing to advertise his new work on the website after it was officially published, and this kind of contract is still worth signing - like voice actors, manga artists are creatures that need titles and fame.
The publishing house is also more satisfied.
Although Ryo Watanabe refused to sign an exclusivity agreement, he promised to only serialize comics on G Society's website, which is also an acceptable category, and it seems that G Society's website now has the effect of continuing to maintain the author's popularity. In addition to the decrease in the ability to bind cartoonists, there are more benefits to others.
All in all, let's explore the new situation of cooperation, since the launch of the G Society's website, the publication of paper seems to have been greatly challenged, and everyone's life is not easy.
Such a contract can be expected.
Thinking like this, both sides couldn't help but show happy looks.
"Then we'll have a good time together."
"It's a pleasure to work with."
All in all, under the matchmaking of fame and fortune, Yushin Sekiguchi and the publishing house also shook each other's hands.
Once the handshake is complete, it's time for the contract to be signed.
"Ah, yes. Sekiguchi-sensei. The editor-in-charge of the publishing house suddenly remembered something and said, "Regarding your personal hobbies during the publication period, you still want to be able to control it a little, don't you know how convenient it is?" ”
"A hobby?" Yushin Sekiguchi wondered.
"Well, you know," said the editor-in-charge...... "Sometimes, the writer's personal preferences are contrary to the reader's, which affects the sales of the work." For this reason, we would like to try to withhold the author's personal information in some controversial places. You've published in this area before, so you should be able to understand our struggles. ”
Yunobu Sekiguchi and Ryo Watanabe and other friends looked at each other a few times, and this aspect is indeed something that needs attention. Some readers do not pay attention to the work itself, but choose the work according to whether the author is not to their liking. For such readers, let's not say whether the author likes it or not, anyway, the publisher will definitely like the person who pays for it.
In order to circumvent some problems, it is also extremely common for writers to avoid some controversial things.
Naturally, Yunobu Sekiguchi has always paid attention to his actions in this regard, and some things in his private life have been selectively exposed.
So now the editor in charge has deliberately brought it up, even if he doesn't have Ryo Watanabe's sleekness, Yunobu Sekiguchi has noticed something special.
"I don't know where you have any questions." Yushin Sekiguchi hesitated for a moment and asked gently.
The editor in charge hesitated, sat down for a moment to show respect, and said, "Regarding the recent two projects of G Company, because there are a large number of fans on both sides of the ACGN, for this reason, we hope that you will maintain a neutral position. It's better not to get involved in ......"
"......" Yunobu Sekiguchi and the others' faces changed slightly.
"You should also understand that whether it is Love Live or an idol master, both sides are extremely popular works, and if you are biased to one side, it will inevitably lead to the dissatisfaction of fans on the other side." "This is very likely to affect the sales of your new work." In this regard, the publisher would like you to express your opinion carefully. ”
There was an eerie silence.
The editor in charge continued: "Of course, I can also understand the relationship between you and G Society, but both works are the works of G Society, and your non-statement has no impact on the relationship between you and G Society. ”
Ryo Watanabe wanted to say something, but now it was the work of Yushin Sekiguchi, and he couldn't speak, so he had to say, "Sekiguchi, what do you think?" ”
"Nope." Yushin Sekiguchi said without hesitation.
"Why?" The editor in charge was a little surprised, "It's just that you need to hide your personal hobbies!" ”
"There's no why." Yunobu Sekiguchi said, "It's a personal problem, and the reason is a personal reason, but it just doesn't work." ”
Ryo Watanabe and the others relaxed for a while.
They promised Hosoi that they would participate in this idol master support event, and Yunobu Sekiguchi, as one of the four, would be embarrassed for them to quit at this time.
However, the choice of this matter is the personal freedom of Yunobu Sekiguchi, and Ryo Watanabe is not easy to say. Now that Yushin Sekiguchi took the initiative to refuse, they were much more relaxed.
"You're being unreasonable." The editor in charge was a little angry, "It's just a matter of personal preference, why are you so stubborn!" ”
Generally speaking, the responsible editor is still a relatively high-level existence for cartoonists, although excellent cartoonists have more influence, but as the editor-in-charge, most of the cartoonists' works are handled by the editor-in-charge, and they can influence the layout of a cartoonist.
Because of this, most of the time the editor in charge may be more tempered than the cartoonist.
It was also because of the popularity of Yushin Sekiguchi gathered in the G Society at this time that the editor in charge was more polite to him - Yushin Sekiguchi is not a cartoonist in the company, so he doesn't need to look at the eyes of the editor in charge.
But even so, Yushin Sekiguchi still couldn't accept some unreasonable practices: "If you insist on doing this, it may affect the cooperation between us!" ”
INTERVIEWER Although the cooperation with Yunobu Sekiguchi is an attempt by the publishing house, if Yunobu Sekiguchi is unreasonable in this way, then the publishing house is not used to whispering to manga artists.
"This ......"
Ryo Watanabe was a little anxious, if he just refused to agree, he naturally hoped that Yunobu Sekiguchi would be able to advance and retreat with them, but when it came to publishing, it was another matter.
He whispered to Yushin Sekiguchi: "Sekiguchi, that matter, even if there is no you, a few of us are enough." It's okay if you just say yes. Publishing is even more important! ”
The editor-in-charge's face was also a little lighter, and if Yunobu Sekiguchi could agree, he also hoped to maintain a friendly cooperative relationship.
"Nope." Yunobu Sekiguchi said.
"Why!" The editors in charge couldn't help but scratch their ears and cheeks.
"Say why." Probably Ryo Watanabe came to persuade him, and Yunobu Sekiguchi also had to express his opinion, "It's the creator's heart." Idol Master and Love Live are both things that are relatively difficult for an old man like me to accept, and it is not obsessive. But ......"
"The only achievement of the creator is the existence that no one else is allowed to trample on!"
Yunobu Sekiguchi said, "If you stick to your ideas, then our cooperation will be postponed a little. ”
"It's unreasonable!"
The editor in charge didn't expect that he would be evicted, so he was angry and walked away.
