"President Tanita, why are you here!" that night, the chief editor who was preparing to leave work suddenly found that Tanita Shangyi had come to the magazine of weekly youth jump.
"Editor in chief of goto, you come with me!" Tanita Shangyi said faintly. Goto Guangxi's heart was tight. He didn't know what had happened. At the same time, Tanita Shangyi shouted to all the editors still in the company, "everyone stays here to continue working. Don't get off work without my order."
In a word, all the editors have to stay and work overtime.
"Did you find a cartoon called game king this afternoon, and a Chinese named Jia Yapeng asked to serialize this cartoon!" Tanita Shangyi asked.
"You already know!" Hiroshi goto was surprised and then said, "but please rest assured, the guy who doesn't know the greatness of heaven and earth has been kicked out by me."
"Yes, you did drive him out and drive him to my office!" Tanita Shangyi snorted coldly, then threw the comic manuscript in his hand in front of Teng Guangxi, "don't say anything, arrange it, and serialize this comic next time, and treat it as a normal new comic!"
"President, how can you promise such a thing? It will ruin the reputation of our magazine!!!" Hiroshi goto was shocked and said with a shocked face.
"This is an order, editor in chief of goto! If you don't want to execute it, I'll find someone else to execute it for you!" Tanita Shangyi didn't give him any chance to explain. "The company wants to see the serial of this cartoon. The company also needs a net profit of 40 million yen, and the shareholders also need this profit. Do you understand?"
"I see!" Hiroshi goto, although his face was sad and angry, still had to agree. Even if you are the chief editor, you are just a wage earner.
"Can the next issue be serialized?"
"No problem!"
"Yo West!" Tanita nodded with satisfaction. "Tell all the editors about this news. I'm leaving!"
Tanita Shangyi came and went in a hurry. In less than five minutes, Tanita Shangyi left contentedly, while Hiroshi goto with a gloomy face appeared in the editing hall and called all the editors to the conference room.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's discuss which cartoon should be cut off among all the comics now?" Hiroshi goto said faintly.
"What? Cut back on comics?" the editors were shocked. One editor couldn't help asking, "editor in chief, didn't we decide at the last meeting? This issue of the magazine doesn't cut back on any comics and still gives them a chance. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"This is not the question you should ask. Just tell me which of the 18 comics should be cut off!" Hiroshi goto looked bad and the editors looked at each other.
These comics are in their own hands. They will never be willing to cut their own comics, which is irresponsible to cartoonists.
"Takahashi, which comic book ranked last in the last batch of investigation letters?" since everyone was unwilling to say, Hiroshi goto had to do it according to the rules.
"The last one is the cartoon Wizard of Heaven (this is a fictional cartoon by the author Jun)!" Takahashi Junchang said hard, because he was responsible for the cartoon.
"Very good, just cut him in half!" Hiroshi goto said.
"But the editor in chief, I have promised the author that he can finish three more periods. Let him give the readers an ending!" Takahashi Junchang said excitedly.
"Yes..." Hiroshi goto was also ashamed, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "but it can't be serialized in this article. Transfer it to the supplement" jumpiga "for serialization. Anyway, all the manga cut by the waist are going there!"
"Jumpiga" is a supplement specially issued by weekly youth jump. It has only one purpose, that is, it is generally used to test the popularity of new comics, or it is a magazine platform for comics to be cut off.
"All right!" Takahashi Junchang nodded helplessly.
"Well, let's review this cartoon and prepare to serialize it in the next issue!" Hiroshi goto said and threw another cartoon on the table.
At this time, all editors realized that the reason why Hiroshi goto was anxious to cut a cartoon was to make room for the new cartoon.
"Game king!" seeing the dazzling name, Junchang Takahashi suddenly stood up, stared at Hiroshi goto and said, "editor in chief, what's going on? Do you still forget the promise we made?"
"This is the president's order. I have no room to refuse!" Hiroshi goto smiled mockingly. "People have already offered 40 million yen to the president. What can I do?"
"40 million!!!" Takahashi Junchang sat down, which is really a price that capitalists can't refuse. In fact, even he, a scholar, can't refuse such temptation.
Other editors who didn't know what was happening looked at them blankly.
"Well, it's like this!" goto Guangxi briefly introduced the context of the matter, and all the editors were silent. They felt that some things began to collapse gradually.
"Keep your spirits up. Now please review this cartoon and see if it can meet the standard of serial comics!" Hiroshi goto said helplessly.
"Do you need to ask? It must be unable to meet the serialization standard, so we can use this inferior means!" an editor said angrily.
"Editor in chief, if it doesn't meet the serialization standard, or even the quality is seriously unqualified, will we still serialize?" another editor asked.
"If it doesn't meet the standard, change it!" Hiroshi goto smiled bitterly, and then added, "let's change it for him!"
"..." this time all the editors are really speechless. It's really irresistible to be able to make the weekly youth jump reach this level. The power of money!
But soon, all the editors were shocked. When these editors read the whole cartoon seriously, they were surprised to find that all the other contents were surprisingly good, even perfect, except that the painting style was still a little immature.
Even Hiroshi goto, the editor in chief, couldn't help staring at the whole cartoon for the first time. His expression was very complex.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's express our opinions!" Hiroshi goto put down his cartoon and looked at all the editors in front of the table and said, "if you have any opinions to modify, please mention them."
As a result, the whole conference room was quiet and no editor spoke.
It's not that they dare not speak, but that they can't find anything to modify except the painting style.
"Cough, now, please review this cartoon according to the most strict review standard of the serial meeting without any prejudice. If you think this cartoon is qualified for a new serial, please raise your hand!!" after Hiroshi goto finished, he looked at everyone in the conference room.
Takahashi Junchang took the lead in raising his hand. He was the first person to read the cartoon. After repeatedly recalling the plot of the cartoon, as a professional editor, his intuition told him that the cartoon would be popular.
Gradually, many editors raised their hands. Finally, the eight editors in the whole conference room, including goto Guangxi himself, all raised their hands.
"Game king", a comic book with serialization qualification bought for 40 million yen, successfully passed the review meeting, and it was also a serialization review meeting passed by all votes.
In the past, 70% or 80% of the comics that can achieve this achievement will become the backbone of the weekly youth jump in the future. Comics that can be completed normally!
"Hoo, it seems that we don't have to act against our conscience!!" goto Guangxi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and showed a happy smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, the quality of this cartoon is surprisingly good. Although some of its origins are not correct, it will not hurt the reputation of weekly youth jump. It may even become popular and become one of the pillars in the future. How can such a magical plot and thing happen in the world!
And more importantly, in this way, we don't have to act against our conscience. Our personality and position as editors are still there, and we are still a qualified cartoonist!!
Hiroshi goto began to be genuinely happy, and even inexplicably loved the cartoon game king.
"However, since the quality of this cartoon has been qualified, why should the other party pay 40 million yen? Isn't it a clear waste of money?" one editor said puzzled. He wondered why he had to take such a crooked path because it was clearly a cartoon of excellent quality. Is it really just for serialization a few weeks in advance?
"It's copyright, everything is for copyright!" Takahashi Junchang said faintly. "I've seen the guy who paid. It's a smart guy with a smart look in his eyes. He can't spend the money in vain!"
"His purpose is very simple. He just wants to get all the copyright of the game king. If he follows the normal serial program, all the copyright of this cartoon will be in our hands. In the future, if he still wants to get all the copyright, he may need to buy it at a price of hundreds of millions of yen."
"But he doesn't want to lose our weekly youth jump, the comic platform with the largest number of readers in Fusang. Even if he spent 40 million yen in advance to buy all the copyright of a comic published on weekly youth jump, it's not a loss of money. Add in the game king." This outstanding cartoon quality may be a big deal! "Said Takahashi Junchang expressionless.
In fact, at this moment, many things in Takahashi Junchang's heart collapsed. He found that other persistence and integrity are false. Only interests are things that people can't refuse!
"Remember, you know what's going on today. You're not allowed to disclose it to anyone, otherwise everyone won't want their reputation!" Hiroshi goto finally added, which is the most critical sentence
