It is not very uncommon for a monthly magazine to be transferred to a weekly magazine in the industry.

Occasionally, a magazine will turn its popular monthly comic into a weekly magazine, but this is not entirely risk-free.

The first is whether the cartoonist can withstand this kind of high-intensity serialization.

The second is whether the cartoonist's thinking has gone astray because of the change in the serialization method.

Finally, the competition in weekly manga is by no means comparable to that of monthly comics, and can cartoonists withstand this pressure?

In other words, a manga that is popular in a monthly magazine will not necessarily be popular in a weekly magazine.

That's the big problem.

Yamazaki's mind was spinning fast.

At this time, the upper echelons want to turn "Four Lies" into a weekly magazine, which is nothing more than two considerations, one is to hope that this comic can give full play to its maximum potential.

The second is the first work of the rookie cartoonist Kleitzser, and now this popularity is very likely to be short-lived, and he is going to be thrown out as a gamble.

Once it can continue to be popular, the subsequent series of adaptations will become gold-absorbing products, if there is no way to continue to be popular, it can only mean that this author only has this level.

Yamazaki sweated on his forehead, and he didn't want to see this kind of situation.

Steady development is the best situation for him at the moment, and it is too difficult to make such a big change at the moment!

"Editor-in-chief Hashida, this... Isn't it too embarrassing?,We all know that the author of the monthly magazine has changed to a weekly magazine.,Many of them have not succeeded.,And the monthly magazine hasn't come up with such a popular work for a long time.,Can't be easily broken.。 ”

Hashida glanced at him and continued: "That's true, yes, but have you ever thought that if the serialization progress of this manga can be accelerated, and at the same time ensure such high quality, the follow-up adaptation activities will also be accelerated on the agenda, isn't animation what you've always wanted to do?" ”

Yamazaki was a little dumbfounded: "This... Truly... But..."

Hashida induced lightly: "Not only will animation follow, but it is not impossible to make a live-action movie on this theme." ”

"Live-action movie..."Yamazaki felt a little dry.

If these come true, he will also be a famous editor in the future, even if the author's creation has almost nothing to do with himself now, but as a responsible author, this is a glorious ah!

"Then I'll talk to the agent..."

In the end, Yamazaki reluctantly took over the burden.

Hashida, when he was leaving, did not forget to remind him: "The first single book of "Four Lies" will be released soon, you have to follow closely." ”

Yamazaki, who left the editor's office, found Reiko in frustration, hoping to get in touch with the other party, after all, he didn't know Chinese.

On the way here, Yamazaki also thought a lot.

Looking at Hashida's meaning, this matter is decided from above, that is to say, it is a foregone conclusion, and his own opinion or the author's opinion will not be adopted.

He is only a small role in the editorial department, and this author is just a newcomer who has just started serialization, even if his work is extremely popular, but it is still insignificant for the behemoth of Kodansha.

At this moment, in Yamazaki's heart, the street of this manga is almost a foregone conclusion...

At this moment, Yamazaki remembered what his colleague had told him before.

"You're going to have to show him who's the boss!"

Yamazaki clapped his hands and said to himself: "Yes, as long as I participate and I lead the direction of the plot, the possibility of hitting the street will be minimized, but how do I speak?" ”

It seems to have to play on the spot.

Reiko sent a message to Shen Wuhuan on the Internet, but after a long time she didn't get a reply, she turned back to Yamazaki and said, "Yamazaki, Mr. Shen is not at the computer now, why don't you call?" ”

Yamazaki was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, let's call." ”

Hearing this, Reiko stretched out a palm, but Yamazaki didn't understand what it meant.

Reiko raised her hand and was still silent, and Yamazaki finally couldn't stand still and asked, "What is this for?" ”

"Give me your phone, you can't use your mobile phone to call, right?" Reiko gave him a blank look.

The corners of Yamazaki's mouth twitched, he took out his mobile phone from his arms and handed it to Reiko, thinking to himself: "There is no way to make international calls on the phone in the company, it seems that this call fee can only be reimbursed by Hashida..."

Reiko dialed the phone, and soon Shen Wuhuan's voice came from there.

"Hey..."

......

"Oh, it's Aina, what's wrong, is there something wrong with me?"

"No, it's your friend's comic editor who has found this, and it seems that there is something to negotiate with the author."

Shen Wuhuan pouted, isn't the author me? But she didn't say this, and replied, "Okay, let him talk to me." ”

Reiko was stunned: "Let me convey it, he can't understand Chinese." ”

"It's okay, I know Japanese."

Reiko was stunned for a long time, because this sentence was said in Japanese...

Reiko instantly had a feeling of being deceived and attacked by the international network.,You don't speak Japanese early.,It's also a problem for me to be troubled by others!

Facing the phone handed over, Yamazaki was also stunned for a moment, why did he suddenly return the phone?

Reiko was secretly angry, too lazy to talk to him, so she just shoved the phone back into Yamazaki's hand and sat there to go about her own business.

Yamazaki stood there and walked or stayed, and finally, he put the phone to his ear and said, "Moxi Moxi..."

"Let's get down to business."

The Japanese word came from the phone, which surprised Yamazaki, and quickly asked, "Is it Teacher Shen?" ”

"It's me."

"Oh, since you know Japanese, it's much easier for us to communicate, this time I want to ask you, Mr. Kreitzer, is you by your side?"

"You can tell me something, didn't we write everything in the previous agreement?"

Yamazaki was really afraid to talk to this woman, so he dared to continue: "That's the case, our club has decided to change Mr. Kleitzer's comics from a monthly to a weekly, and for the future plot, I also need to communicate more with Mr. Kleitzer, after all, weekly and monthly..."

"That's it?" The girl on the phone looked quite impatient, which made Yamazaki's heart tremble.

"Well, Mr. Shen still doesn't know much about the comic industry, and weekly and monthly magazines are very different in terms of serialization methods and ranking pressure, and there will definitely be an impact on the author's thinking."

"Of course, I know the different serialization methods of monthly and weekly magazines, rest assured, there will be no shortage of you in the weekly delivery, and as for the plot, you won't have to bother."

Yamazaki was sweating profusely: "This... In case something goes wrong with the plot..."

"It's impossible, don't worry, thank you very much for your call, you tell me the deadline, not a page will be missing you."

"Not a page will be missing? Weekly magazines are serialized every week, so can Mr. Kreitzer draw this number of pages before the deadline? ”

"Of course, what's there to worry about? Aren't these pages drawn in minutes? ”

Your sister in minutes?

This shocked Yamazaki so much that he forgot to talk about something very important to him.

The average number of these five episodes serialized in "Four Lies" is about 50 pages each, which is equivalent to twice the number of weekly authors serializing in a single week!

Cartoonists often refer to deadlines as dead ends, because even 25 pages are difficult to complete within the allotted time.

Now the person in front of me turned out to be these pages, didn't they draw in minutes?

Aren't you kidding me?
