I am practicing in Tokyo

Chapter 134 Meeting Takeshi Sawai for the first time

A few days after the Fireworks Festival, a short message from editor Jingliu was sent. There were two contents. One was that the original author of Chainsaw Man had taken over the continuation, and the other was that Chainsaw Man was going to be animated and he was asked to discuss it.

Discuss licensing fees.

Fujii took the train and came to the publishing house in Chiyoda District, Tokyo. When he entered the conference room, he saw the old man Shirakawa Ryuzo, the president of Anip Animation Club, whom he met when he won the comic award last time.

"Long time no see, Fujii-kun."

Shirakawa Ryuzo smiled and stood up to say hello. He only brought a male assistant with him. There were also editor-in-chief Shizuru Ikawa and two subordinates from the publishing house in the conference room.

"Nice to meet you, President Shirakawa."

Fujii came forward and shook hands, and the two sat down across the long table. This time they mainly talked about the licensing fee for adapting Chainsaw Man and the commission ratio for related peripherals. Fujii picked up a piece of information.

Well, the remuneration of 300,000 yen per episode, for a total of thirteen episodes, and 5% commission on peripherals, is quite sincere. Is it the same as the rejection last time?

Recalling the adaptation conditions Shirakawa Ryuzo set out when he won the award, he was not as sincere as he was now. Shizuru Ikawa, sitting next to him, also nodded to him, indicating that the conditions were acceptable.

"Fujii-kun's works are very popular now. If the anime adaptation does well, Sony, our boss, has been planning to adapt the live-action manga. Just having your face appear on the screen will probably earn more than a billion yen at the box office."

.”

"Revenue in the first half of the year dropped again."

Fujii's kendo skills at this time were only one step away from LV5, and he was at the peak of swordsmanship. From the moment he entered the carriage, he noticed these three people, especially the man holding the 1.7-meter-long package.

Judging from the angle, there should be a nodachi inside.

This is the rough information about the original person. The Special Operations Division provided him with a stack of records about Yoshioka Wakahiro at the time. This little-known special department has much greater authority than ordinary agencies. When doing things, the police

They don't dare to stop them, they are considered a privileged class.

He came to Tokyo this time just to thank him for his tie last week. His scheduled competition area is in Kyushu, and he will return tomorrow to prepare for the Kendo local championship in early October. Only those who qualify will be eligible to participate in the national competition.

The eyes of the two people collided in mid-air, and then separated. It was not until Fujii Shu got out of the car that Sawai Takeshi showed a strange expression.

After getting on the bus, since school was still half a month away, there were very few students in the carriage. Fujii found an empty seat and sat down. He raised his head and glanced at the seat opposite. He was sitting upright and holding a huge long wrapped bag.

A strong man, although he wears coarse clothes, his rugged appearance exudes a mighty aura. He can play the role of a great swordsman in sword and halberd movies without makeup.

Use the electronic door card to open the door. Inside is a single-story luxury suite of more than 200 square meters. The decoration style is extremely modern. The floor is light gray and the walls are painted white with mechanical-style patterns. The lights in the living room are on. It is now nine o'clock in the evening.

, the original daughter should be in her own room. Their relationship has continued to deteriorate recently, and they have not communicated for a long time.

The income of a Chainsaw Man serialization for two years is about 10 million yen, and the income of a single book should be close to 60 million yen. Add in the value of the adaptation and peripheral products, and the guaranteed profit is 100 million yen. That’s not all.

If a top-notch work were copied from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, which was only serialized 16 years ago, would everyone be able to gain wealth and freedom?

After the discussion, Fujii thought about leaving the publishing house, but the guilt of being a copywriter was still too deep, so he gave up the opportunity to make a fortune and walked to the tram stop.

Turning on the computer in the study room, he frowned slightly at the report sent by the club's financial email. In the details of the income and expenditure, there was a government procurement that always accounted for the majority, and orders were placed regularly every month. He knew that this was the Special Operations Section.

His remuneration was paid in disguise, plus the bonus of several million yen for each mission. In fact, he earned more than half of the previous annual income of over 100 million yen.

The price is frequent contact with monsters. Although one or two incidents per month are not many, if a battle begins, the mortality rate remains high. Although the operators in the Special Operations Department are all human practitioners who are different from ordinary people

, but the strength and ability of the monsters you face are different every time. If you encounter the existence of a big monster, it is common for the team to be destroyed. Fortunately, this situation is rare, and the entire department only does it three or four times a year.

Beside this man, sat two and a half-year-old teenagers. The older one looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and the younger one looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. They were both carrying packages, and their temperaments were obviously different from those of their peers.

After swiping his card to enter the station, Fujii put on a mask, covering most of his face. Based on Masato Sakai's experience last time, he also began to learn to disguise himself to avoid unnecessary trouble.

One-tenth of the 3.6 million yuan adaptation fee was paid in advance as a deposit, and the rest had to be paid after the animation was screened. This was considered a rule in the industry. It was not possible for Anip to simply be affiliated with Sony's big agency like this.

A Chinese e-sports club has a tradition of defaulting on its debts, so there is no need to worry about not getting money.

As he thought this, the tram started again and drove away from the platform.

——

If an ancient person were reborn, would he make the same jokes as in the time-travel drama?

Wakahiro Yoshioka, 43 years old, is the president of a small club in Minato-ku, Tokyo, with about 30 members. He is mainly engaged in import and export trade, with an annual income of over 100 million yen. He is divorced and has a daughter. He has an only girl in her second year of high school.

, the relationship is cold.

At least Nagara Sangsuke doesn't. He is attached to Nagato Kotetsu and gradually absorbs part of the original person's personality and complete memories. Except for the special operations section errands once or twice a month, he spends most of his time playing the original person.

, it has been achieved to the extent that it is fake and real.

Fujii declined politely and waited until Kendo reached LV5 before considering the next project. He planned to try it out to see what effect it would have after reaching LV5.

Can people from the government enter the station with this kind of weapon?

Thinking back to the Special Operations Division where Daigo Yumi works, only such people can bring sharp weapons into public transportation, right? His knife permit was issued by Rin Kamiya, and it took him a while to get it. The control is still quite strict.

"Well, I'm not a professional actor, so forget it about letting me be on camera."

Yesterday, I just killed a monster with my fellow teammate Daigo Yumi. Nagara Sosuke returned to his home in a high-end apartment in Minato City with the specialties of the monster-killing area.

"I'm back."

At this time, Sawai Takeshi, the mountain swordsman who had been notified in advance by Zhou Chiping, also noticed that the passengers opposite were different from ordinary people.

"The National Kendo Competition has a bonus of 100 million yen for the champion, which is very generous."

Nagara Sosuke changed his shoes at the entrance, placed the specialty food at the door of his daughter's room, knocked three times, and turned around to go to the study.

When he was first possessed, his purpose was to challenge all the swordsmen in the world, but after merging with part of his original personality, he felt a sense of responsibility for his cheap daughter. The mission of the Special Operations Division was too dangerous, and he might one day

He won't be able to come back. If he doesn't save enough money, his daughter's life will not be easy.

After the two parties signed the contract of intent, Shirakawa Ryuzo said jokingly, in fact, artist companies such as Johnny's have always coveted the existence of sports geniuses like Fujii and beautiful young people. If this combination is punched, then

I'm afraid that thousands of women will pay for it if I read numbers in front of the camera. How could Sony's artist company not have any ideas?

He has such murderous intent at such a young age, as if he had been killed out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. If he participated in a kendo competition, he might become a formidable opponent.

While working on the computer, an advertisement popped up, and Nagara introduced his interest. This project, which allowed him to compete in swordsmanship and make money, was very attractive to him.

Can the police station also participate in the competition? Find a police station to be affiliated with.

He carefully read the rules of the competition, touched his chin, stood up and walked to his daughter's room. When he saw that the specialty food at the door was gone, his expression became more relaxed.

——

On the last day before the start of school in September, Fujii visited the Ichikawa Dojo. It was embarrassing to say that since the fight after the last riot, he had never visited the Ichikawa Dojo except once to visit the father of Ichikawa. And Ichikawa Ryuhei

I also gave him back the tuition he paid, which was equivalent to allowing Minister Ichikawa to teach him some basic steps for free.

During this visit, there were many more students at Ichikawa Dojo than before. It seems that it became famous last time. At that time, the scene of mobilizing dozens of ambulances and more than a dozen police cars was a bit big, and the nearby residents knew that there was something going on here.

After word spread about what happened, there were naturally not a few people who came to sign up to study.
