After the creation of the work is completed, of course, it must be released as soon as possible, and the IP will be occupied.

In the Shogakukan editorial department, Hideki Hanyu taught the manuscript to his editor-in-charge, Muneyoshi Maeda, to review it before publication.

Hideki Hanyu has sold several picture books in a row, and he is already one of the ace writers of Shogakukan, even if this is a different transformational work, Maeda Muneyoshi also attaches great importance to it, and immediately puts down his work to receive it.

"Hanyu-san, didn't you say you were going to serialize it before?" Looking at the original manuscript that was obviously completed, Maeda asked.

"I was originally going to serialize it, but it turned out to be endlessly inspired, so I simply finished writing it."

In the matter of being a copyist, Hanyu Hideki never knew what it meant to be ashamed, but it was even more embarrassing to pretend to copy it.

"Hanyu-san is amazing."

Maeda Muneyoshi is admired from the bottom of his heart, with seven picture books and a children's novel in a short period of time, Hanyu Hideki is already one of the most prolific writers in Shogakukan.

It's not impossible to even remove one of them.

"Hanyu-san, please wait, I'll take a look first."

"Please."

Maeda Muneyoshi began to review it, and when he saw half of it, he seemed to think that something was wrong, so he picked up the book and went to the editor-in-chief.

After some time, Maeda returned with the book and said to Hideki Hanyu with an embarrassed face, "The story of Hanyu-san's new work is interesting, but it ......"

Maeda wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

"Maeda-san, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Hideki Hanyu knew that his book was a bit special, so he was not surprised by what the other party said.

"Hanyu-san, I can't define what kind of book it is, and there are a lot of words that describe the story of Koki, but ......"

When Maeda said this, he glanced at Hideki Hanyu and found that the other party's expression was calm, so he continued.

"Why there are so many illustrations in the book, I can understand the use of pictures to deepen the reader's imagination of the elves, but what are these elf illustrated books for?,There are numbers,Attribute values,Skills,There are too many settings.,Hanyu-san is creating a literary work.,Not a game plan.,This will affect reading.。

Maeda spoke out his doubts.

Hideki Hanyu casually explained, "I thought of something interesting and put it in, so it's a new attempt." ”

Hearing Hanyu Hideki's words, Maeda Muneyoshi suddenly had a big head, these writers really want to be a play, and they don't follow the rules of creation at all, so he shouldn't expect Hanyu Hideki's transformation work.

When a writer suddenly transitions to an unfamiliar creative field, it is indeed impossible to adapt immediately.

He felt that the many abnormal illustrations and useless illustrated books in Hideki Hanyu's work were the habits left over from Hideki Hanyu's picture books.

"Hanyu-san, my opinion is that if you want this work to be published by Shogakukan, you must strengthen the text descriptions and remove most of the illustrations, as well as those useless illustrations and settings."

Even though he knew that saying such a thing would make Hanyu Hideki unhappy, Maeda Muneyoshi still said it.

If Hideki Hanyu wants to release a picture book, with his current influence, even if the quality is a little worse, he will dare to take it.

But this kind of transformation still requires a large number of high-cost works printed in full color, and the cost pressure of the Shogakukan is too great, and Maeda Muneyoshi does not dare to take this responsibility.

"Maeda-san's request, I can't do it, every stroke of this book is my painstaking work."

Hideki Hanyu put on a determined and uncompromising look.

Maeda Muneyoshi heard this, and the happy relationship he had always had made him feel that compared to those writers with strange personalities, Hanyu Hideki was normal.

As a result, it seems that a writer is a writer, and his brain is more or less abnormal, is it possible that the neon writer's spirit is hereditary?

Not enough, before Maeda Muneyoshi could refuse, Hanyu Hideki spoke first.

"I really like this work, so in order not to embarrass Maeda-san, I'll release it at my own expense."

As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, Maeda Muneyoshi was a little dumbfounded.

"Hanyu-san, or I'll discuss it with the editor-in-chief again."

After all, he is a descendant writer of Shogakukan, and Maeda Muneyoshi doesn't want to affect the relationship between Hanyu Hideki and Shogakukan because of a transformation work that is not optimistic.

It's really not good, it's a big deal to lose money and print a few hundred copies, and if you can't sell them at that time, the other party will definitely die.

"Maeda-san doesn't have to be embarrassed, I'm going to go to Kitahara-san to talk about self-published publications."

After speaking, Hanyu Hideki didn't wait for the other party's answer, picked up the book and left.

The reason why Hideki Hanyu left in such a hurry was because he suddenly felt that this work, which grabbed the IP, seemed to be more suitable for self-published publications.

Once it is published by Shogakukan, Shogakukan becomes a co-copyright owner of the book.

Whether it's developing anime or games in the future, as long as it involves this work, the Shogakukan can get a certain share.

If it's other ordinary works, you can take that point, but Pokémon is not an ordinary work, and a point is astronomical.

And the score is more important, the co-copyright owner has a certain right to speak in the adaptation, which is difficult for Hanyu Hideki to accept because of the score.

If I'm not mistaken, in the previous life, one of the forces that Nintendo introduced in order to squeeze out Tajiri Tomo was the name of Shogakukan.

The lessons of the past are there, so he feels that this work is still in his full control.

found Eri Kitahara, Hanyu Hideki explained his intentions, and was persuaded without surprise.

"Hanyu-san, I must be reminded that with the number of color illustrations in this book, if the print run is too small, the cost plus the sales share of the Shogakukan will probably exceed 1,000 yen."

Hanyu Hideki, who has already made up his mind, how could he listen to persuasion.

"Kitahara-san, the first printing of 10,000 copies, do a good job of the cost and draw up the contract directly, I only have one request, that is, the primary school hall is only an agent sales, and does not share any copyright."

"Ten thousand! Crazy, if I have a lot of money and nowhere to spend it, Hanyu-sensei can invite me to dinner. ”

Eri Kitahara has a panicked expression on his face.

"Kitahara-san, this is my decision." Hideki Hanyu spoke resolutely.

Seeing this, Eri Kitahara could only shrug helplessly, "Okay, rich Hanyu sensei, please wait a moment, I'll go and prepare." ”

As soon as Eri Kitahara left, the sales manager Imai Zeren came over and asked cautiously, "Hanyu-san, we've been working together quite happily recently, right?" ”

Hanyu Hideki thought to himself that Imai Zeren Yasei knew about his self-funded book.

He didn't want the other party to guess, so he explained straight to the point.

"Don't get me wrong, Minister Imai, I don't have any opinion on the Shogakukan, and publishing the book at my own expense is just a willful attempt."

After repeatedly confirming that Hideki Hanyu had no opinion on the Shogakukan, Imai Zehito finally left with peace of mind.

Seeing that he published a book at his own expense, Imai Zeren was scared to understand the situation.

This made Hanyu Hideki have to sigh, after a few months, it has not been in vain, and it is somewhat worthy of the attention of others.
