If the remake of the first season is still within the scope of discussion, then, in the winter release of the remastered version, there is basically no room for discussion for Tachibana Shen - in fact, even if it is a remake of the first season, he doesn't want to discuss it.

As for the winter release, it is even more nonsense.

There are still more than two months to go, and it's January, how can I get in time?

Either Shen Zheng didn't use his mind to speak, or he purely wanted to embarrass him.

Will you be afraid? What's the trouble?

Tachibana Sneered in his heart, and when he saw Murakami's face showing a gloomy face, he continued: "Shen Zheng is making trouble with the magazine, and other cartoonists are also watching?" If we set a precedent with him, other people will think that if they make trouble, they will get more benefits, so how can we talk to other cartoonists in the future? What should we do if we jump out of the exclusive contract one by one? ”

Murakami bowed, "I see what you mean." Although Shen Zheng did not sign an exclusive contract, if he did so, it would eventually have a very bad impact and make other cartoonists have ideas. I understand you. ”

Tachibana nodded deeply, his face softened slightly, "Thank you for your understanding." If you want me to say, since he doesn't want to animate, then SLAM DUNK shouldn't animate, as he wants. ”

IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE MAGAZINE, HE DELIBERATELY PICKED "SLAM DUNK" AND "YOUNG EXORCIST", BUT HE DIDN'T EXPECT "SLAM DUNK" TO BE SO WEAK.

Uncomfortable.

When this kind of thing happens in the morning, the good mood of the day is gone.

Tachibana grumbled in his heart.

Murakami shook his head slightly, "However, this matter is not so simple. ”

"Huh?" Tachibana gentry chuckled in his heart, was there any accident?

"SLAM DUNK is not just launching on Shonen Leap. You've announced that you're not going to animate SLAM DUNK, and Comic Future doesn't necessarily want to. If it really tears its face, it will not be the conflict between "Shonen Leap" and Shen Zheng, but the contradiction with "Comic Future". That's the trouble. ”

"Huh?" Tachibana gimson blinked, then frowned, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one.

How could things be so troublesome?

Tachibana took a sharp puff of cigarette, his face full of sorrow.

It's not uncommon for cartoonists to have disputes with platforms, just like a big platform like "Shonen Leap", there are several times a year, but usually, it's the entanglement between cartoonists and magazines, when has a second magazine ever been involved?

Even if it is licensed to other magazines, it is "Shonen Leap" that controls the right to speak, which is like this time, the two magazines are both launch platforms, and the scale of Yishu Culture is not much smaller than the parent company of "Shonen Leap" - although "Comic Future" magazine is not as good as the sales of "Shonen Leap", but the webtoons that are read lightly are much better than them.

"I'm sorry."

A cigarette was almost halfway smoked, and Tachibana snuffed out the cigarette.

Toru Murakami just nodded and didn't speak.

"What do you mean?" Tachibana asked, "Since you're talking about Comic Future, I'm afraid you already have an idea, right?" ”

"It's not that I have ideas, it's that they have ideas. JUST BEFORE YOU ARRIVED, THEY SENT AN EMAIL WANTING TO ANIMATE SLAM DUNK. That is, they are willing to take over animations that seem hot to you. Of course, all the benefits that the animation brings after that have nothing to do with us. Toru Murakami explained.

"Think beautifully." Tachibana Gentry vetoed it directly.

"So what do you say?" Murakami asked rhetorically.

Tachibana shook his head, "They have to take over?" That's ...... No, if you want to do it, you really have to bleed the book. ”

"Definitely going to pick it up. "SLAM DUNK" sold 2 million copies in China, and at the same time, they also sold the rights to the comics, Han Guo and Omi have already published the comics of "SLAM DUNK", of course, they hope that the anime will be screened as soon as possible. ”

"That income has nothing to do with us." Tachibana sneered, "Besides, foreign comic copyrights have nothing to do with us, so why should they meddle in "SLAM DUNK"?" That doesn't make sense, right? ”

"We signed a supplementary agreement. The extended copyright of "SLAM DUNK" belongs to us, but their magazine will also be affected by animation and manga, so a similar situation is also indicated in the supplementary agreement, if it affects them due to the decision of "SLAM DUNK", they can renegotiate with us according to the situation and negotiate a suitable solution. If we don't do it, they take over, and that's what they offered. ”

Tachibana Smirked, even with a hint of sarcasm, "Team leader, I've been thinking about one thing on the way here......"

"What's the matter?"

"SOME STRANGE CLAUSES CAN APPEAR IN THE CONTRACT OF SLAM DUNK. It may be that I am inexperienced, but I am really hard to understand. Tachibana Gentry stared at Toru Murakami, and he didn't have a good tone.

At the end of the day, the root cause of this dilemma lies in the contract.

Who signed that contract?

Naturally, it was Toru Murakami who was sitting in front of him.

Murakami was angry, his fingers crossed, and he unconsciously used his strength, but he was still forcibly restraining himself.

"JUST SIGNED THAT CONTRACT, AND GAVE SLAM DUNK SO MANY RESOURCES. It's okay not to sign an exclusive contract, at least it has to be exclusive, right? Tachibana Shin pointed to Toru Murakami.

"You don't know what it was like......" Murakami said through gritted teeth.

"Whatever the situation was, I wouldn't agree." Tachibana Squire turned his head.

Murakami stared at Tachibana Shin, and there was no way to vent the anger in his heart - even if he said it, he would not be recognized by the other party, and the two looked at the problem from different angles.

"Tachibana, have you ever driven on the Circling Road?"

"Drove it." Tachibana Shin saw Murakami Toru suddenly change the subject, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Have you ever driven a trailer more than ten meters long on Circling Road?"

"Nope. What's wrong? ”

"You're now the editor-in-chief of Shonen Leap, not Yuong Leap. A magazine of the size of "YL", no matter what you do, there will be no major incidents. It's like driving a car on a roundabout, and you won't fall off a cliff under normal circumstances. But "Shonen Leap" is different, and the sales of one issue of the magazine may fall, and it may be more than the sales of one issue of "YL".

"What do you do in this situation? To put it mildly, "SLAM DUNK" may have brought more sales to "Shonen Leap" than "YL". What Shonen Leap needs most is stability...... Tachibana, do you know what the biggest problem has been since you took over Shonen Leap? ”

"What?"

"Do too much, think too little. The size of the magazine has changed, and it doesn't work the way it used to be. After all, the Pillar cartoonist you come into contact with is not on a level. I was in a hurry, but I didn't plan it carefully. If it gets big, you can't control it. Murakami had to remind again.

"I know what to do." Tachibana Gentry's mind was in a mess, and he didn't have the heart to stay, so he stood up directly.

By the way, Wang Wenhong said when he submitted the plan that if the winter episode can't be released, "SLAM DUNK" won't have to make animations anymore, so "Comic Future" is in a hurry. You hurry up and give them an answer. ”

Tachibana Shen had a gloomy face, was silent for nearly half a minute, bowed slightly, and turned to leave the office.

When the door was closed, Murakami gave vent to the anger in his heart and slammed the table.

Just now, in order to control the development of the situation as much as possible, he tried to communicate with Tachibana Gentry with a normal heart. Next, it's up to Tachibana to operate.

I hope that the situation will not be escalated again.
