Chapter 220: Sasaki's Request
A café near the hospital.
"Hattori-sensei, my original plan was to go to you after I left Mr. Kawaguchi's house." Sasaki said solemnly.
"Oh, that's right." Yayoi stirred the milk tea in his palm and whispered absentmindedly.
Sasaki couldn't help frowning, always feeling that facing Hattori-sensei would speed up aging.
"I agreed that you would finish "Infinite Horror" because of the premise, that is, the popularity of the new work is not lost to "Infinite Horror". Otherwise, you'll draw a sequel to Infinite Terror. That's right. ”
"That's right," Yayoi barely pulled herself together, "do you think the popularity of the new work will lose to 'Infinite Horror'." ”
"No, quite the opposite," Sasaki lamented, "Yoshida said that the new work is very interesting. You won't lose to other comics. I would also like to believe in the talent of Hattori-sensei. I mean, you've already conceived a sequel, right? ”
Yayoi was a little stunned, but immediately understood, "Uncle told you, it's true." ”
When he was in Mano Mountain, he once sighed that Miss Ashisu's "Survival in the Last Days" was very interesting, and there was no need for the plot synopsis of "Infinite Dawn" written for her by himself.
I think it was Tetsu Hattori who took it to heart after hearing it. Then tell Sasaki.
"Do you want to do anything?" He asked.
Sasaki nodded and said, "I hope that the teacher can cooperate with Murata and serialize it on "Victory Jump". ”
Yayoi wondered, "Victory Jump"? Why? ”
Sasaki explained, "Because of the impact of the Internet, the market for the manga magazine industry has shrunk rapidly. The benefits of "Victory Jump" are getting smaller and smaller, and sometimes even going into deficits. In this way, the top management also has said that the publication of "Victory Jump" will be suspended. ”
Sasaki said bluntly, without the slightest concealment.
At this time, the teacher's "Sakura Mission" saved the declining situation and brought a lot of popularity. Therefore, the executives also hope that the popular cartoonists of "Weekly Shonen Jump" can interact with "Victory Jump" to increase its popularity and make "Victory Jump" grow and develop. ”
"I see." Yayoi nodded, it's still her own reason.
"Actually, there is another side." Sasaki said, "It's about my selfishness. ”
"The top management hopes that I can be transferred to the editorial department of Weekly Shonen Jump and become the editorial director of the editorial department of Victory Jump. After all, if it were me, it would be more convenient for the two parties to interact. ”
"So fast!" Yayoi exclaimed inwardly.
Because of his own reasons, Sasaki actually left "Weekly Shonen Jump" early!
IN THE ORIGINAL BOOK, HIS DEPARTURE OCCURRED SOME TIME BEFORE THE SERIALIZATION OF "REVERSI". It's probably 4 or 5 years later!
"Of course, I don't want to leave yet," he said very seriously, holding his glasses, "I haven't met the requirements of my new wife's teacher, and more importantly, he still needs to experience the bottle." So, I'm going to need a couple of years. ”
Why bottles? Yayoi didn't ask, maybe the relationship was too good.
"Besides you, Jump hasn't had a manga artist on its own!"
When he said this, Yayoi understood.
Sasaki is reluctant to take this position, he has been the editorial director of Weekly Shonen Jump for more than 5 years, and has been working at JUMP for more than 10 years. Of course there will be feelings.
After so many years of hard work at Jump, he didn't want to simply leave.
"What do you mean," Yayoi said, holding her chin with one hand, "you want to use the serialization of "Infinite Dawn" in "Victory Jump" as a condition in exchange for not leaving office?" ”
If "Infinite Dawn" is serialized in "Victory Jump", it can be supported.
Sasaki can also be in no hurry to take office.
This is enough to show Yayoi's popularity, and his manga sequel can support a manga magazine!
"That's right," Sasaki told Yayoi all the situation, waiting for his judgment to make a decision.
Yayoi thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember one thing?" When I first agreed to the comic book contest, I promised you one condition. This is probably the time to use that condition. ”
He looked at Sasaki with a smile.
Sasaki couldn't help but smile wryly, he really didn't want to suffer at all.
"Okay, I'll just use that condition."
"Hmm!" Yayoi smiled and nodded.
………
After that, the two talked about the details. Yayoi also made several requests:
1. Without his consent, Mr. Murata is not allowed to change the plot of the manga without authorization;
2. Mr. Murata has to take a look at it every time he finishes drawing, in case there is a phenomenon of "Boruto" sequel "Boruto";
3. He needs to understand Murata's strength.
"Murata-sensei, don't you know?" Sasaki asked weirdly.
"Nope." Yayoi shook her head.
"You haven't seen "The Masked Man at Lightspeed 21" either?" He asked again.
"No," looking at Sasaki's strange expression, Yayoi couldn't help but be annoyed, "Is it true that manga artists have to read all manga works!" Do cartoonists need to know other cartoonists? ”
"No, no, I thought Murata-sensei's funny composure in manga would be what you liked."
Only this point Sasaki had doubts, and he agreed to all the other points.
Because there are no over-the-top requirements, it is natural for the original creator to insist on his own ideas.
When it comes to anime, the original also has a veto.
Speaking of this, Sasaki remembered one more thing, and he said, "Hattori-sensei, there is something I want to inform you. Director Shimizu hopes to remake a plot from "Infinite Terror". ”
"That's a good thing," said Yayoi, remaking a plot chapter can not only increase revenue, but also promote one's own ideas and increase the sense of substitution for readers, "Of course I agree." ”
"Which one?"
"The Grudge!"
""The Grudge"," Yayoi was not surprised, after all, "The Grudge" was originally a neon movie, and its conceptual essence was in line with the local culture of neon, so it was very normal for a director to choose it.
Of course, the most important thing is that "The Grudge" has the least investment......
"If there's nothing to do, I'll take my leave." Yayoi said, his mind is still messed up now.
"Okay, I still have work to do."
……
After the two separated, Yayoi returned home.
Sort out today's experience for yourself.
1. Awaken the ability to read the minds of those who love him;
2. Know that a girl likes him like crazy. For a dead house, the sense of honor is bursting! But for what comes after, it's just a trifle;
3. The highest illness, after rushing to the hospital, awakened the ability to cross the other world, and learned the reason for the original crossing;
4. The departure of the system;
5. The resolution of the highest matter, and the matter of talking to Sasaki about the manga.
With so many big things coming one after another, his brain was almost unable to think!
