Outside the house in Chiyoda-ku.

Hideki Hanyu sits on his custom Mercedes S-Class.

The Lamborghini I bought before had been placed in the garage and dusted.

That kind of car just looks cool.

If you really want to talk about comfort, it's still this car that is comfortable to sit in.

The main thing is that the car doesn't need him to drive it himself, which also makes it convenient for him to do something else in the car.

For example, now, he dropped down on the table in front of him, and on the notebook on the table, he kept writing and drawing.

Looking at the notebook on the paper, what is outlined with a pencil seems to be an arcade game machine.

Just looking at the shape, it's a little different from today's arcade machines.

The joysticks and multi-buttons on both sides of the console, and the inclined screen, are exactly what the arcade machines looked like after they matured.

Yesterday came up with the idea of making a next-generation arcade machine.

Hideki Hanyu has been thinking about what kind of arcade machine he wants to make.

I was going to leave for the elementary school hall today, but the assistant Reiko Uemura was late for some reason.

It was okay to wait in the car, so he tried to write out the shape of the ideal arcade machine and the design parameters he wanted.

In this way, after the development begins, at least the partners can have a clear goal when cooperating.

For example, the arcade frame provider of Elf Entertainment is a subsidiary of Prince Paper.

The screen has always been provided by Sharp's side.

The substrate chip and storage are again provided by Toshiba.

There are other small accessories, and there are even more suppliers involved.

So it seems to be just an arcade machine, but there are a lot of partners involved.

However, what caused Hideki Hanyu was that if he wanted to develop the next generation of arcade machines, the substrate was the most important thing.

However, Elf Entertainment has limited technical reserves in this regard.

Although taking advantage of the bad market, Genie Entertainment has recruited a lot of hardware R&D personnel.

However, if there is no technical accumulation, research and development from scratch, and want to complete the replaceable card substrate he envisioned, it is estimated that the research and development cycle will be quite long.

He wanted to learn SNK and work with Alpha Electronics to develop it.

But the problem is that Alpha Electronics was only established in 1979, and now its main business is still various resistors.

A company that has just been established for more than four years, in terms of R&D capabilities, it is estimated that it is not as good as Elf Entertainment.

It's not good to start too early, and the existing technological development can't give full play to his memory advantage.

For example, he has always wanted to make "Super Mario Bros.".

However, the software development team has insufficient reserves for side-scrolling games.

Second, the previous hardware level could not achieve the seemingly simple reeling game of the later generations.

Fortunately, after the training of "Knocking on the Ice" and "Kung Fu, Death Break", its studio finally has the accumulation of technology in this area.

When the development of "Doctor Mario" by Mythology Studios is completed, "Super Mario Bros. " can be officially launched.

After all, you can't wait any longer, Nintendo's FC console sales are booming.

Shigeru Miyamoto, a genius game designer, should not be underestimated.

If you drag it out any longer, you may not be able to make another version of Super Mario Bros.

There were a lot of things in his mind, and his eyes fell on his notebook, which made Hanyu Hideki's mind go back to the development of the arcade machine.

If you can't develop it jointly, you can only develop it independently.

It doesn't matter if the time is slow, just in time to take advantage of the golden afterglow of the old-fashioned substrate and make another profit at the end.

And the technical goal from the beginning was not to be a substrate with a replaceable game card slot.

It is entirely possible to set the standard of R&D goals lower.

Modular substrates, easy to replace, lower cost, are sufficient.

The most important thing is to open the market first and set standards.

And just when he was concentrating on how to set the goal in the research and development stage of arcade technology, Marco, who was in the driver's position, suddenly said.

"Boss, Miss Uemura has arrived."

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu looked up and looked out the window.

He found that on the side of the road, Reiko Uemura happened to get out of a Mitsubishi car.

The driver of the Mitsubishi was a young man.

After Reiko Uemura got out of the car, the other party said a few words to Reiko Uemura with obvious concern.

Reiko Uemura also responded with a few words, and her demeanor was quite intimate.

Then he hurried towards Hanyu Hideki's car.

"Hanyu-sensei, I'm so sorry I'm late."

Reiko Uemura, who was in the co-pilot of the Mercedes-Benz, apologized immediately.

Although it was because his boyfriend wanted to send him off, he was late because he encountered a traffic jam on the road.

But Reiko Uemura didn't say it as an excuse.

Because she has worked with Hideki Hanyu for so long, she knows very well that Hideki Hanyu doesn't like to hear reasons.

To make a mistake is to make a mistake, to speak out generously, and not to deliberately conceal it.

Hideki Hanyu is not the kind of person who will criticize his subordinates for the slightest mistake.

As long as he doesn't make mistakes of principle, Hideki Hanyu is still very talkative.

"It's okay, anyway, it's not a hurry to go to the elementary school hall to deliver the manuscript."

Hideki Hanyu doesn't care about Reiko Uemura's late arrival.

On the contrary, he was more interested in the man who sent Reiko Uemura, and asked with a smile, "It's my boyfriend who sent Uemura-san today." ”

Reiko Uemura didn't expect that Hideki Hanyu would suddenly ask her about it.

Hearing the question, he was stunned at first, and then nodded a little embarrassedly.

"Yes, it's only been a week of dating."

After speaking, he hurriedly emphasized, "Hanyu-sensei, please rest assured, I will not affect my work because I have a boyfriend." ”

After all, working as an assistant for Hideki Hanyu, in Reiko Uemura's view, is a rare job with 'less work, more money, and a good boss', but she doesn't want to be affected because of love.

"Won't it? It doesn't seem like that today. Hideki Hanyu quipped.

Reiko Uemura has been his assistant for so long, and the relationship can already be regarded as a friend.

Reiko Uemura was introduced by Michi Iijima, and the two were good friends in private.

If memory serves, both men were five years older than him.

In today's era, let alone falling in love, it's too late to get married.

Reiko Uemura finally took the first step.

Iijima Sanzhi is bent on treating Asako Hirohashi as an idol, and he will never return to the road of a strong woman, and there is no shadow of anything in love.

In addition to Iijima Sanchi, Eri Kitahara is also the same.

But it's understandable.

The neon women of today's era still want to work with high intensity after getting married, and Asako Hirohashi is a good example.

Unless the husband's family is very open-minded, there is only one way to go, divorce.

And his joke naturally made Reiko Uemura embarrassed for a while.

However, Hanyu Hideki didn't say any more, but ordered Marco to drive off.

Although I was not in a hurry to deliver the manuscript, after all, I had said hello in advance, and it was not good to go too late.

……

Elementary School Building

Hideki Hanyu hasn't been here for a while, but not much has changed here.

After finding a collaboration group and submitting the manuscripts of the four picture books, I planned to visit Masahiro Aiga.

As a result, before he could leave, he was blocked by the editor Maeda Muneyoshi who rushed to hear the news.

The guy looked at him with a look of resentment.

"Hanyu-sensei, isn't there a manuscript for the magic confectionery shop this time?"

Hideki Hanyu showed an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, but I don't have the idea to create a fifth part for the time being. ”

"That ......" Maeda wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Hideki Hanyu's status today is very different from what it used to be.

Even if it is an editorial urging, it is impossible to go overboard.

After all, according to Hideki Hanyu's current income, even if he completely stops creating, it will not change his status and life.

Most of the writers who are in a similar situation to Hanyu will have fewer creations.

And Hideki Hanyu can also send four picture books in one go, which is definitely a high yield.

Even if it's a shogakukan, it's impossible to ask for too much.

Seeing Maeda Muneyoshi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Hanyu Hideki didn't have to guess to know that the sales of "Children's Literature and Art" magazine must have fallen again.

Thinking that he had a good cooperation with Maeda Muneyoshi before, when Eri Kitahara resigned, the other party took the risk to tell him the reason.

Hanyu Hideki couldn't bear to look at the other party like this.

Sighing, Hideki Hanyu told Maeda Muneyoshi, "Before the end of the year, I will definitely hand over the manuscript of the fifth part of the magic confectionery shop to Maeda-san." ”

When Maeda Muneyoshi heard Hanyu Hideki's words, his eyes lit up, and then he said excitedly.

"Great, Hanyu-sensei's fans will be very happy if they know this news."

This is not Maeda Muneyoshi deliberately touting Hideki Hanyu.

The Magical Snack Shop is now the most popular fantasy book for neon teens.

There are even many adults who are very fond of it.

On the various most popular lists, the name of this work will never be missing.

After the fourth part of the series ended, I don't know how many fans are looking forward to the fifth part.

But there has been no definite news about the fifth serialization of the Elementary School Museum.

Those letters asking when the magic confectionery shop will be serialized, Shogakukan receives a lot of them every week.

Now Hideki Hanyu says that the manuscript will be delivered before the end of the year.

Then Maeda Muneyoshi can announce to book fans that the fifth part of the magical dim sum shop will start serialization early next year.

As for whether Hideki Hanyu will keep his promise, Maeda Muneyoshi is not worried at all.

After all, Hideki Hanyu's reputation is still very good, and although he has pressed the deadline several times, he has never broken his promise.

And just when Maeda Muneyoshi was happy, Hideki Hanyu seemed to remember something.

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask Maeda-san."

"Hanyu-sensei, please speak." Maeda said.

"I would like to ask the day before yesterday to help me compile a list of popular love in the near future." Hideki Hanyu said.

"Love, did Hanyu-san want to create a story about this?"

Maeda Muneyoshi was a little surprised, thinking that Hanyu Hideki was going to transform again.

From picture books that children love, to the "Magic Snack Shop" series that teenagers love.

There are also "Love, Homecoming" and "Summer Travel: The Story of Kikujiro", which are more inclined to adult readers.

Except for the still tepid "Pokemon".

All of Hideki Hanyu's works have been extremely popular with readers and have achieved impressive sales.

It can be said that each of Hanyu's transformations has been a success.

But it is undeniable that Hideki Hanyu does not care what type of work it is aimed at, or what age group it is aimed at.

The core of the story of his works has always been growth and family affection.

After reading Hideki Hanyu's works, what makes readers reminisce is always the beauty of human nature.

This is also recognized by the entire literary world, and the style of Hideki Hanyu's works.

But a love story?

Even if Maeda Muneyoshi is not in charge of this part of the editorial department, he knows what style of love is popular with neon today.

Even true love must be hovering between cheating and extramarital affairs.

All kinds of forbidden love that can't be asked for, and what you want is not satisfied.

It must involve the sorrow of the times and explore the gloom of human nature.

This mainstream style is simply incompatible with Hideki Hanyu's work.

Maeda Muneyoshi was a little worried, and Hideki Hanyu really wanted to create this type of work.

After all, writers will inevitably want to make their works more 'profound'.

But for Hideki Hanyu, this is not a good idea.

The lessons of the beginning of the serialization of "Love, Home" are vividly remembered.

Everyone is used to Hideki Hanyu's 'beautiful' stories.

If suddenly there is a 180-degree turn in style.

I'm afraid that there will be no good reviews, readers will scold, and then a large number of readers will be lost.

"Just wanted to find out." Hanyu's answer was ambiguous.

He had previously considered writing a love story for female readers.

He hadn't seen much neon love in his previous life.

The most familiar is the "Love Letter" that must be copied by those who travel through it.

or because his wife starred in the movie, he was interested in watching "Love in the Sky".

Therefore, I still want to understand what the current mainstream is, so I can make a decision.

If neon is not suitable, it can be borrowed from overseas and translated into neon.

"Okay, I'll send it to the cloud culture as soon as I finish it." Maeda said.

"It's troublesome Maeda-san, so I'll leave first."

After Hanyu finished speaking, he left the editorial office and prepared to visit Masahiro Aiga.

"Goodbye, Hanyu-sensei."

Muneyoshi Maeda behind him is still worried that Hideki Hanyu wants to play "profound".

I wanted to persuade a sentence or two, but I didn't say it.

Hideki Hanyu is not a child, and what he wants to create is not something he can persuade as an editor.

Bidding farewell to Maeda Muneyoshi, Hideki Hanyu came to the office of the head of the General Affairs Department and met Masahiro Aiga.

"Good morning, Senior Minister."

"Hanyu-sensei, it's been a long time."

In the face of Hanyu Hideki, Masahiro Aiga's attitude was very enthusiastic.

After "The Owl Under the Moon" won the grand prize, Hideki Hanyu was honored.

And Shogakukan has also become the first publishing house in the neon picture book industry.

Who is all this because of whom, of course, Masahiro Aiga knows very well.

Besides, even if he didn't win an award, Hideki Hanyu is the highest writer in Shogakukan in terms of sales alone.

This kind of writer, in any publishing house, must be carefully held.

Therefore, even if many people are there, the manga magazine of Hideki Hanyu's elf publishing house is growing rapidly, and it may become a competitor to "Weekly Shonen Sunday".

Masahiro Aiga didn't care either, and still allowed the Genie Publishing House to use the Shogakukan channel for sales.

Because Masahiro Aiga understands that Hideki Hanyu is more than just a writer for Shogakukan.

Hideki Hanyu has become a banner of the Shogakukan.

Its influence is not only in neon, but also overseas.

The positive impact that Hideki Hanyu has had on the Shogakukan is no longer something that money can measure.

If it's for a manga magazine, Shogakukan has a gap with Hideki Hanyu.

I'm afraid that the management of other neon publishing houses can wake up laughing in their dreams.

It's not been a day or two since these guys want to dig up Hideki Hanyu.

"How is President Asaka's recovery after he was discharged from the hospital?" Hideki Hanyu politely cared for it.

"My father is in good health, and it won't be long before he can come to work." Masahiro Aiga replied.

"Please let me know if there is a reinstatement celebration at that time."

"I will never forget Hanyu-sensei."

Speaking of this, Masahiro Aiga took out a document and handed it to Hideki Hanyu.

"Hanyu-sensei, please see, this is the sales growth data of Hanyu-sensei's picture books overseas after the owl under the moon won the award."

Hideki Hanyu took a look and found that under the influence of the Kate Greenway Award, his picture book sales have increased significantly.

Among them, the best growth figures are in Asia and Europe.

As for America, the Kate Greenway Award has a much smaller impact.

Seeing the rising data, Hideki Hanyu felt that it was really right to take the route of 'large quantities and full management' at the beginning.

Other picture book writers have won awards, how many picture books can be sold out?

What about him?

Thirty-two picture books have been published.

Shogakukan took advantage of the opportunity to win the Kate Greenway Award and released all of his works that were not released overseas in one go.

In order to make money, overseas partner publishers are also happy to promote the works of award-winning authors.

His works are plentiful and of good quality, and he can easily sell good sales.

It's better to take advantage of the explosion of sales after this award, and his overseas royalty income this year will usher in a super explosion.

At this time, Masahiro Soga also said, "Hanyu-sensei, according to the projection of our overseas sales department, Hanyu-sensei's overseas royalty income this year is at least three times that of last year. ”

"Thanks to Shogakukan's overseas marketing." Hideki Hanyu thanked him.

If it were three times, it would be at least 3 billion yen.

This number made him glad again that he chose to make his debut as a picture book writer.

Picture books and other cultural works have the smallest cultural gap between the East and the West.

If this is something like that, even if it wins an award, Westerners will not be interested.

However, he also understands that if he can earn three billion, the primary school will only earn more.

But people have channels, but he doesn't.

Even if he wanted to take back the copyright and hand it over to the Elf Publishing House to operate, he would not have the ability to sell it overseas.

Perhaps it costs more money to develop a sales channel than it makes money.

He doesn't have any opinion on how Shogakukan makes this money.

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu finished reading the overseas sales documents, Masahiro Aiga said another thing.

"Hanyu-sensei still remembers the Shogakukan Picture Book Contest that won the award."

"Of course I remember, after all, that tournament gave me a chance to make my debut." Hideki Hanyu said.

"This contest was held once last year, but for other reasons, it was temporarily suspended this year." Masahiro Aiga said.

As for the reason for the suspension, to put it bluntly, the attention is too low.

In fact, the first picture book contest in which Hanyu participated attracted quite limited attention at first.

It is all because Hanyu Hideki relies on his appearance advantages and Hong Kong Hao's bottomless operation that he has attracted the attention of many housewives.

The Shogakukan Picture Book Contest also had some influence because of the discovery of Hideki Hanyu.

Therefore, last year, the Shogakukan took advantage of the situation to hold the second picture book contest.

Although there are many picture book writers who have signed up for the competition, Fuji TV has also given the video broadcast.

However, without a topic like Hideki Hanyu, the second edition of the picture book contest had no attention to speak of.

Several rookie picture book authors who have won the opportunity to publish through the contest have seen even more miserable sales.

So this year, the Shogakukan simply stopped the competition.

Hearing that the tournament was suspended, Hideki Hanyu said from the bottom of his heart, "That's a shame. ”

When the second competition was held last year, the Shogakukan also invited him to be the guest of honor.

Unfortunately, at that time, it was the time when the major literary awards were being awarded, and he really couldn't get away.

I didn't make it to the tournament, so I don't know what the competition will be.

Now it seems that it should not be ideal.

For this contest that helped him make his debut as a writer, he still has some feelings.

"Yes, the Shogakukan is going to restart the award next year, but it's not going to use the original name.

Hanyu-sensei, who came out of this contest as a picture book writer, won the Kate Greenway Award again, and Shogakukan wanted to cooperate with Hanyu-sensei to call the restarted contest the 'Hanyu Picture Book Award'.

The new picture book award is mainly for Neon to discover new picture book writers and promote the development of the picture book industry, and the selection scope will also be limited to new writers, hoping to get the consent of Hanyu-sensei. ”

As soon as Masahiro Hasamiga's words came out, Hideki Hanyu almost didn't catch his breath.

Good guy, how long has he only debuted, and if he is alive and well, he will name the contest after him?

As soon as this "Hanyu Picture Book Award" came out, people who didn't know thought he died young.

Masahiro Aiga and the little idea of the Shogakan, he couldn't guess it.

What is to discover new picture book writers and promote the development of the picture book industry, not to find new people for the primary school museum.

said it so high-soundingly, that is, he wanted to attract attention under his name.

Even if he plans to do this kind of picture book award, he will cooperate with a third-party association to hold it in the name of cloud culture.

It is impossible to be bound to the Shogakukan, and use his fame to help the Shogakukan discover contracted picture book authors.

Looking at Masahiro Soga with a sincere face, Hideki Hanyu said euphemistically.

"Senior Minister Aiga, please allow me to think about this matter."

Masahiro Aiga could naturally see what Hideki Hanyu meant.

Although I regretted it, I didn't plan to force it, so I didn't mention it again.

Next, Hideki Hanyu chatted with Masahiro Aiga about something else.

It's basically something that doesn't matter.

He came to visit Masahiro Soga this time, but he didn't contact him for a long time.

I want to maintain our relationship with each other.

At least until the first refusal of picture books ends, he doesn't want to part ways with the Elementary School.

About an hour later, Hideki Hanyu looked at his watch and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock.

Then he got up and said goodbye, "It's not too early, so I won't disturb the Xianghe full-time worker." ”

"I had a very pleasant chat with Mr. Hanyu this time, and I hope Mr. Hanyu will come often."

Masahiro Soga took Hideki Hanyu all the way to the elevator before stopping.

And Hideki Hanyu took the elevator to the first floor and met Reiko Uemura, who was waiting for him.

Previously, he asked Reiko Uemura to go to the business department to ask for the business data of Constellation Culture in the recent period, and wanted to know about the sales of "Saint Seiya".

The two walked outside, and Reiko Uemura reported the situation.

Just as Hideki Hanyu was about to ask for a data detail, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

"President Hanyu, please wait."

It was a crisp, catchy female voice.

Hanyu looked back and followed the sound, and saw a girl walking briskly towards him.

is the most popular female idol in neon today, Seiko Matsuda.

Familiar places, familiar sounds, familiar people.

But almost three years have passed.

It's just that the memory of the other party knocking him down seems to be still in front of him.

Seiko Matsuda has not changed much.

But he is no longer the obscure street idol he was at the beginning.

"Hello Matsuda-san, I didn't expect to see you here."

Hideki Hanyu greeted him with a good attitude.

Speaking of which, in addition to the artists of the cloud arts, the artist who has cooperated with him the most in the neon entertainment industry is the Seiko Matsuda in front of him.

The mille-feuille routine advertisement that started with cloud screening is still being screened in theaters "Kiss of Heaven".

It's all about projects that are filmed on the cloud and cooperated with each other.

And the two collaborations were successful, which helped him make a lot of money.

For people who can help him make money, Hideki Hanyu has always had a good attitude.

"Is Miss Matsuda here to talk about photo albums?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

The only thing that celebrities can cooperate with publishing houses is photo albums.

"It's an autobiographical photo book." Seiko Matsuda replied.

After speaking, she solemnly saluted like Hanyu Hideki.

"Thank you very much to President Hanyu for giving me the opportunity to star in Heavenly Kiss, I have always wanted to thank him in person, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to meet President Hanyu."

Kiss of Heaven was a big hit at the box office, and Seiko Matsuda was the heroine designated by Hideki Hanyu, so it was only natural to thank her.

"It's nothing, I just think Miss Matsuda is suitable."

"As a token of appreciation, can I invite President Hanyu to lunch with me?"

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu thought for a moment and politely refused, "I'm sorry, I have an appointment at noon." ”

Now, he is not worried about any strange scandals when he appears with Matsuda Seiko.

After all, there are bodyguards and assistants to follow, and Seiko Matsuda is also followed by agents and assistants.

It's just that as the boss of the cloud screening, he met privately with the cash cow of another firm for no reason.

It is easy to cause misunderstanding by the other party's firm.

Although Seiko Matsuda is very profitable, there is no shortage of idols who can make money in the clouds.

He has no intention of poaching, so he doesn't necessarily stimulate the other party's office.

After all, in addition to the Sun Music office, Seiko Matsuda also has Sony Entertainment behind him.

This is a giant in the industry with annual sales of more than 2 trillion yen.

If you can show pictures on the cloud without provoking, try not to provoke.

"That's a shame."

Seiko Matsuda had a regretful expression.

That look, as if it was really sad that I couldn't eat with Hideki Hanyu.

Although Hanyu Hideki knew that the other party was pretending to be like this.

But if people can put on this posture, it will be difficult for him to hate it.

It's no wonder that in the previous life, in various neon rankings, Seiko Matsuda was able to stabilize Akina Nakamori.

In terms of the emotional intelligence of receiving people and things, it is completely crushing for Chubby Food.

Chubby's emotional intelligence.

Forget it, let's not talk about it, our Chubby Cuisine has never been about high emotional intelligence.

"Miss Matsuda, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

After Hanyu finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of the elementary school hall.

Seiko Matsuda chased after him in two or three steps, as if he had forgotten Hideki Hanyu's refusal just now, and asked as if chatting with him.

"President Hanyu came to Shogakukan this time, do you have any new works to publish? I really like President Hanyu. ”

"Then I'm going to disappoint Miss Matsuda this time, but the work I prepared is a picture book for preschool children."

Seiko Matsuda came up and chatted, but Hideki Hanyu couldn't just drive people away.

In this way, the two walked all the way out of the gate of the primary school hall.

Then he felt a flash flicker not far away.

You don't have to guess to know that there are reporters squatting, and eighty percent of them are still for the popular idol around them.

"I'm sorry, because of me, the reporter photographed President Hanyu."

Seiko Matsuda sent an apologetic expression at the right time.

"It's okay, I'm also a public figure."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he hurriedly said goodbye, "Miss Matsuda, I made an appointment with someone else at noon, so let's go first." ”

After saying that, he didn't entangle with the other party anymore, and walked towards the parking position with Reiko Uemura.

Behind him, Seiko Matsuda looked at Hideki Hanyu's back, his eyes faintly revealing disappointment.

She really wanted to talk to Hanyu alone, not because she had any thoughts about Hanyu.

It's because of the poor income that she doesn't want to stay at Sun Music anymore.

But in Neon, even if the contract of the artist ends, it is very difficult to change the court without the consent of the original firm.

What's more, it's a popular artist like her.

Unless there are other big forces willing to help her bear the pressure.

Hideki Hanyu and the pictures in the clouds are undoubtedly a good choice.

It's a pity that Hideki Hanyu didn't even give her a chance to talk.

But......

Seiko Matsuda looked at the reporter who was still scared in the distance.

I thought I might be able to test it a little.

……

In the car that drove away from the Shogakukan, Hideki Hanyu, who was listening to Reiko Uemura's report on the management of constellation culture, had already left Seiko Matsuda behind.

Seiko Matsuda helped him make a lot of money, but after all, he was an artist from another firm.

If you want to talk about the degree of importance, in his heart, even Koizumi Kyoko can't compare.

"President, that's the specific situation."

Reiko Uemura finished reporting what she had learned.

Hideki Hanyu nodded.

"It seems that the main income is still hand toys and peripheral licensing,It's just that the TV animation is over,After the popularity has passed,The decline in revenue is quite obvious。

"Bandai submitted several submissions asking for an increase in the production of TV anime." Reiko Uemura said.

"Leave them alone, the TV anime has to be in sync with the manga."

Hideki Hanyu didn't care about Bandai's opinion.

His current version of the manga script of "Saint Seiya" has been created by combining the manga of his previous life and TV animation, and the theatrical version.

If you really listen to Bandai, speed up the production of TV animation, and once again make the plot of TV animation surpass the manga, God knows what to change.

The popularity of "Saint Seiya" has subsided slightly, which also reminds him of the halfway "Dragon Ball" manga script.

This part of the manga script and illustrations that "Dragon Ball" has already completed, and Shueisha's editor Kazuhiko Torishima has seen it once.

Kazuhiko Torishima is very satisfied with the story of "Dragon Ball", and when he returns, he convinces Akira Toriyama to cooperate.

Akira Toriyama, who wants to make more than a billion yen from "Aralei", has no intention of cooperating at all.

Even though Kazuhiko Torishima persuaded him several times, Akira Toriyama just said that he would talk about it when Aralei was over.

But looking at the perfunctory appearance, everyone can see that Akira Toriyama has little interest in cooperation.

In the face of this situation, Hanyu Hideki was also powerless, so he did not continue to work on the follow-up script.

As for finding a team to draw "Dragon Ball" and then serialize it on "Elf Cute".

Hideki Hanyu didn't think about it for the time being.

First of all, the comics serialized in "Elf Cute" are all in a relaxed and cute everyday style.

It is completely inconsistent with the positioning of a hot-blooded battle manga like "Dragon Ball".

Again.

Compared with Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump", although "Elf Cute" has developed well, its influence is still too far behind.

For him now, he doesn't really care about the income from selling comics alone.

As long as the comics can become popular, he relies on Elf Entertainment to operate the peripherals, and he can earn far more than the income from selling comics.

The most important thing is that Akira Toriyama's painting style is really suitable for Dragon Ball.

In his previous life, he was also a fan of Akira Toriyama's manga, and on the premise of being able to cooperate, he still wanted to cooperate.

Today, there is a small outbreak, and the state has not been right recently, so adjust it and recover as soon as possible.
