Chapter 49 comic book published
After the first three episodes of "Detective Conan" were mailed out, Li Zhongxin did not stay idle and began to continue creating.
Li Zhongxin knows very well that as long as this cartoon can be published in one of these two comic journals, it will definitely be a big hit.
Sherlock Holmes has been popular all over the world for a long time, and most people in almost all countries are familiar with the Sherlock Holmes collection.
Sherlock Holmes claimed to be a forensic consultant, meaning that other police or private investigators often called him for help when they were in trouble.
Sherlock Holmes was often able to solve many difficult problems without leaving his home, but most of the stories focused on more difficult cases that required Holmes to go out and investigate.
He must continue to create, and he must ensure that "Detective Conan" will be handed in after it becomes popular.
After Masako Mitsui received Li Zhongxin's comic manuscript, she immediately called her assistant Komura Keika, and instructed Komura Huixiang to come forward and contact "Weekly Shonen" and "Monthly Shonen", the two most popular magazines in RB at the moment, and make sure that one of the two comic publications serialized Li Zhongxin's comics, and put forward Li Zhongxin's request to the magazine.
Mitsui Masako has always felt indebted to that slightly mysterious Chinese boy, because Masako knows very well in her heart that if there is no Li Zhongxin's appearance, her baby girl will definitely suffer very serious consequences in China, even if she is not killed by those bad boys, she will leave an indelible shadow in her psyche.
The appearance of Li Zhongxin made Haruko, a well-behaved girl, not leave any shadow after encountering such a terrible thing, but the sun became happy, which can be said to be the credit of Li Zhongxin.
Not only because of Haruko's affairs, but also in finding her sister Yang Aihua, she invested a lot of money and time in the Black Province, but there has been no result.
However, when she met Li Zhongxin, who saved her daughter, she found her sister by a wonderful coincidence.
Most RB people believe in animism and fate, and Masako Mitsui is one of them, and she believes that fate has arranged for her to have a good relationship with Li Zhongxin, who is thousands of miles away, and they will have more exchanges in the future.
Li Zhongxin didn't accept her thanks, she always felt that she owed Li Zhongxin a favor, and now Li Zhongxin brought it up and asked her to help publish a comic on RB Comics, this kind of thing she had to help do.
Eika Komura saw that Ms. Masako was very concerned about this matter, and she immediately began to take action.
Although Eika Komura has some doubts that Chinese teenagers can create good works, the manager has instructed her to publish this manga.
After Eika Komura had completed all the formalities for Li Tadanobu at the Bank of Tokyo, she made an appointment by phone and contacted the magazine office of Monthly Shonen.
After being invited to meet the president Shizuji Koda, she directly told Shizuji Koda, the president of "Monthly Boys", about her intentions.
The reason why Eika Komura chose "Monthly Shonen" is because "Monthly Shonen" was founded for a shorter time than "Weekly Shonen", and Mitsui & Co.'s influence on such a magazine is much greater than that of "Weekly Shonen".
Since Ms. Masako Mitsui said that as long as it can be published in one kind of publication, she naturally chooses "Shonen Weekly".
Shizuji Hirota takes Eika Komura's visit very seriously, but he scoffs at the RB manga drawn by a Chinese child.
If someone in RB China drew a high-quality manga and wanted to publish it in their "Monthly Shonen", Shizuji Hiroda might be able to agree to it on the face of Mitsui & Co., but it would be absolutely delusional for a manga drawn by Chinese children to be published in their publication.
But what! The behemoth of Mitsui & Co. put a lot of pressure on him, so he agreed to let the most senior editor in the magazine, Kotomo Liyuan, review the manuscript, and told Komura Eika that if Kotomo Lihara's editor's side can pass in principle, then he will talk to Komura Eika about this matter.
Koyou Liyuan, a senior editor in charge of reviewing the manuscript of "Monthly Boy", is a brother in the comics industry and a professional reviewer.
At first, he didn't dare to compliment the cartoons created by Chinese teenagers, and he didn't even have the desire to read them.
However, when he read Li Zhongxin's manga under the supervision of Keika Komura, he immediately changed his appearance and began to praise it.
Kotomo Lihara has a very high evaluation of this comic, and even wants to publish this comic directly.
Xiaoyou Liyuan said frankly that this is a very good comic, which is higher than the creative level of many current cartoonists, and if there is no big accident, Li Zhongxin's comic should achieve very good results.
After Shizuji Hirota heard Tachihara's evaluation, although he was still reluctant in his heart, he also had the idea of agreeing to publish it.
Excellent comics can bring achievements to the publishing house, and it will make the publishing house make money, if in such a situation, he still does not agree to Omura Huixiang's request, it will be a direct slap in the face Mitsui & Co., from which point of view, the publication of this Chinese kid's cartoon is inevitable.
However, when he heard those requests from Li Zhongxin from Eika Komura, Shizuji Koda immediately turned his face.
With a dark face, he said to Keika Komura: "Your Excellency Huixiang, with all due respect, this comic is very good, but the creator of this comic is Chinese, not our local cartoonist, and it will be very troublesome when it is published." If we are given carte blanche to Monthly Youth, our magazine can still accept it, but if there is only a copyright transaction contract, they cannot sign the contract. ”
Shizuji Hirota has a poor opinion of the Chinese, and although it does not reach the extremists of the RB right, it is almost far away.
Under normal circumstances, Shizuji Hongda would probably agree to publish this comic, but what kind of qualifications can a Chinese child have to negotiate with a big-name comic publishing house like them.
That Chinese kid was able to publish in their manga magazine, and for the sake of Mitsui & Co.'s face, he had already given Mitsui & Co. a lot of face, and he wanted to keep the derivative copyrights and other things, which was simply a joke and an insult to the RB manga industry.
Even if Eika Komura doubled the sponsorship given to their magazine, he would not agree.
If he really agreed, once there was no market for this comic, he would definitely be ridiculed by his peers, and he would throw people into the Pacific Ocean.
It is precisely for this reason that Shizuji Hirota strongly resisted the pressure from the behemoth of Mitsui & Co., and resolutely did not agree to sign a contract on such a condition.
Komura Huixiang didn't expect that in such a small magazine as "Monthly Boys", she actually encountered Waterloo, and she didn't succeed in what Masako Mitsui explained.
Keika Komura always thought in her heart that compared with "Monthly Shonen" and "Weekly Shonen", "Monthly Shonen" should be better published than "Weekly Shonen" because it was founded later, and the club behind him had a relatively close relationship with Mitsui & Co.
However, she never expected that the level of the comic passed the level and was praised by the comic editor, but in the end, because the author of the comic was Chinese, and there were differences in the copyright matters of subsequent development, and the final consensus was not reached.
When Mitsui Masako instructed Komura Huixiang, she had already made it clear that the range of remuneration can be increased or decreased, and you can choose to share it, and if there is no sales, there will be no money, and if the sales volume reaches a certain level, if you can't reach five or five, it will be at least four or six, but the copyright must be done in accordance with Li Zhongxin's requirements.
Encountering the failure of the serial signing of "Monthly Boy", Meika Komura summed up several reasons, the biggest of which is that Shizuji Hiroda is a right-winger who looks down on Chinese in his heart.
After conducting in-depth research on "Weekly Boy", she actually found that "Weekly Boy" might be able to accept Li Zhongxin's comic submission.
"Weekly Shonen Jump" was launched on August 1, 1968.
When it was first published, it was published in a biweekly format and was released on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month.
In October 1969, it was announced that it would be changed to a weekly magazine and that it would be released every Tuesday.
The mascot is tagged as a Jump Pirate.
Since its inception, many manga artists have become popular because of their serialized writings, and many famous manga have been published.
The first issue has a circulation of 105,000 copies, and it has serialized "Harenchi Gakuen", "Ichijo Boy Shogun", "Hard-headed Spirit Gaeru", "Toilet Doctor", "Samurai Giant", "Boy Isamu of the Wilderness", "Hoding Renweiping", "Playing with Ball", etc.
Later, because of the increasing number of excellent comics, in 1971, the circulation and sales had exceeded 1 million copies.
By 1980, the circulation and sales of "Weekly Shonen" exceeded 3 million.
Sakuraaki Amano, the president of "Weekly Shonen", is different from Shizuji Hirota of "Monthly Shonen" in that he belongs to the pro-China faction.
In other words, Amano Sakuraaki will not resist Chinese contributions to "Weekly Shonen", the most important thing is that Amano Sakuragaki, the president, is a manga lover and a manga artist, and pays more attention to the quality of comics, rather than thinking about copyright or other issues.
The creativity of the cartoons drawn by Li Zhongxin is of the upper class, and the best editor of "Monthly Boy" has already given the answer.
She represents Masako Mitsui of the Mitsui & Co. Group, and she also has some business dealings with the people in power behind "Weekly Shonen", as long as she asks Masako Mitsui to find someone to call, this matter is basically done.
Sakura Amano received Eika Komura very respectfully in the president's office, and he already had some understanding of Eika Komura's visit.
It's just that he doesn't understand that such a behemoth as Mitsui Group would put so much effort into a Chinese teenager he didn't know.
Could it be that the Chinese boy has anything to do with the big man in Mitsui & Co.?
Or the orphaned children of the Mitsui family who were brought back from China?
Sakura Amano has had several contacts with Masako Mitsui, and has a deep understanding of this strong woman from Mitsui & Co., if it weren't for something extraordinary, she would never call him personally, and let him try to serialize the comics of the Chinese teenager.
Sakura Amano did not directly agree to Masako Mitsui's request, he wanted to read the manga himself and take charge of this matter himself.
Friendship is friendship, and doing things is doing things. If the cartoons of that Chinese teenager can reach a certain level, he will definitely not discriminate against Chinese teenagers and engage in that kind of unequal treatment.
After Sakura Amano took the manuscript from Eika Komura, he did not look at it directly, but chatted while bringing water and making tea to Eika Komura, and instructed the secretary next to him to invite several senior editors of "Weekly Shonen" over.
Shinichi Kudo. "High School Student Detective"?
"Heisei Holmes"? "The savior of the RB police"?
However, the one who never bowed his head in front of the prisoner, the one who silently protected his lover and friend, the one who was the strongest, he would not cry, he could not cry.
His actions are at stake in the lives of those around him.
But, as he said, "Detectives are also human beings, not omniscient and all-powerful gods", he is just a 17-year-old boy, an ordinary boy.
He never blames anyone, never complains about the injustice of fate, but silently bears the heaviest burden. He ascribes these responsibilities, his responsibilities, the responsibilities of a detective.
Sakura Amano read the idea of the manga, and after reading the first three episodes of the manga, she immediately got up and applauded loudly.
In his heart, such a comic idea is simply amazing, such a story, such a comic, as long as it is logged in to "Weekly Shonen", it will definitely be popular in the entire RB comic industry.
Several editors of Weekly Shonen were in the same vein.
Whether it is from the idea of the story, or the style of the comics, or even the tone of speech, it can be comparable to the masters of the RB comic industry, and you can directly log in to "Weekly Shonen".
Although in terms of copyright, Amano Sakuragaki has some unhappiness in his heart, but after all, he signed a share sales contract with Li Zhongxin's agent Keika Komura, and if it doesn't work, they have nothing to lose.
And taking advantage of such an opportunity to form a good relationship with Masako Mitsui is also a good thing.
After the process of signing the contract with Eika Komura was completed, she immediately told Masako Mitsui the good news.
Masako Mitsui has always been extremely concerned about Li Zhongxin's comics, not only because she has always felt that she owes Li Zhongxin two adult favors and cannot be repaid, but also because Haruko loves Li Zhongxin's comics very much, urging her to call Li Zhongxin every day and urging Li Zhongxin to follow up on his creation.
Lee Tadashi's highly anticipated comic "Detective Conan" was finally published in RB's "Weekly Shonen" after some hardships, and officially appeared on the stage of RB comics......
