Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 314 The war begins! (4000 words)

"Is that so? Editor Hosokawa, are you sure you won't think about it again?"

Editor-in-chief Urashima listened to Hosokawa Koharu’s answer over there.

"Yes, Chief Editor Urashima."

Hosokawa Koharu over there said very firmly: "Teacher Higashino feels that "Naoki Hansawa" will definitely reach the top. Even though my power is insignificant, I still choose to believe in Teacher Higashino and want to help him a little."

".If that's the case, then I understand. I will recommend another editor to be the editor-in-chief of "Abominable Chill". Editor Hosokawa, please continue to be in charge of Mr. Higashino."

Editor-in-chief Urashima here did not continue to persuade.

Although he still felt that Hosokawa Koharu's decision was a bit rash.

After all, this opportunity can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any publishing house editor.

But speaking of it, it still surprised him that Hosokawa Koharu believed in Higashinoji so much.

After hanging up the phone, Hosokawa Koharu let out a little breath.

She couldn't help but shake her head first, then glanced at the manuscript at hand, took a deep breath, and covered her face.

"Ahhh, I really want to be the editor-in-chief."

She let out a half-moan scream.

but

"Now that you've given up, you don't have to think about it so much."

Hosokawa Koharu put his hands down.

Yes, we have already decided to follow Higashinoji to witness the next path of "Hansawa Naoki", so what else is there to think about too much?

She once again took a serious look at the original manuscript of "Hanzawa Naoki" and said, "You still have to work hard."

She murmured under her breath.

I just don’t know whether I’m encouraging myself or cheering Higashinoji.

Hosokawa Koharu regained his energy and drove to Tomshima Publishing House.

Now that they have obtained the manuscript, how to use it to defeat "Chiyo" is a matter for their editorial department.

Another two days passed in this way.

Higashino Tsukasa, who occasionally browsed Tomishima Publishing House, discovered a new announcement on its official website.

Following Shin Iwazuki Publishing House, Tomishima Publishing House also launched a new manga magazine "Wayo".

Below this announcement is the cover of "He Shi".

Different from the previous eerie cover of "Cold", the newly released "Heshi" has a serious and heavy feeling.

On the cover of the comic magazine, there is a close-up of a man with his upper body exposed. This man is wearing a formal suit, showing a young side face, with a very serious expression. His eyes are gloomy, and the overall look is a bit harsh.

At the bottom of the cover are four neat characters - "Hanzawa Naoki".

The "Hansawa Naoki" Higashinoji here uses the artistic font used in previous TV series. It looks square and powerful.

Next to Hansawa Naoki, there is information about the works of other manga authors.

It has to be said that Tomishima Publishing House has indeed given Higashino Tsukasa the status of a national scholar. The half-length profile of "Naoki Hansawa" alone occupies two-thirds of the entire cover area, which is almost squeezing the attention of other manga authors. There is no place to put the title of the work.

Higashino couldn't help frowning after seeing it, feeling that the editor-in-chief of Tomishima Publishing House was too courageous.

Although it is to give Higashino Tsukasa a chance to express himself as a general, this is too much, and he does not care about the thoughts of other manga authors.

Even the readers in the comment section below complained.

"I really like Higashino-san's works, but the close-ups of Higashino-san's works this time are too big, right? Other works have been pushed to both sides. How much does Tomishima Publishing House value Mr. Higashino?"

Even the name of Higashinoji's work "Naoki Hansawa" is much larger than the entire introduction of other people's works.

"Isn't this nonsense? This time "Heshi" is going head-to-head with "Chiyo" by Shin Iwazuki Publishing House. It is full of gunpowder. Mr. Higashino is being used as a gun at the first sight."

"'Naoki Hansawa', I think this cover is really good. Higashino-san's artist is online! I just feel a chill in my back when the hero on the cover is staring at me."

"Does it feel like a workplace comic? I'm really looking forward to it. I'm also an office worker. I wonder what surprises Mr. Higashino can bring to us."

There was a lot of discussion in the comment section, and most of them were positive.

Higashinoji felt that there was nothing to be complacent about.

Because fans' evaluations have always been one-sided, and the quality of Higashinoji's works has never disappointed them, he has accumulated a good reputation over time.

But just talking about a good reputation is actually of no use.

The key is the subsequent reader praise survey and the sales volume of the single book. This is the top priority.

As for those readers who left messages below and said that they are also office workers.

Higashinoji could only cough twice, hoping that they would not lose their jobs because of "Naoki Hansawa".

If they lose their jobs, maybe, probably, maybe one ten thousandth of the blame lies with him.

Although it is only one ten thousandth of the responsibility, Higashinoji still hopes that they will not get excited after reading the comics and start fighting with their workplace bosses.

With this in mind, Higashinoji closed the official website of Tomishima Publishing House and started browsing the official website of Shin Iwazuki Publishing House.

The content of the announcement here is actually similar to that of Tomishima Publishing House. It also introduces its new comic magazine "Chiyo".

The only difference is that the magazine cover of "Chiyo" does not only promote Higashino Tsukasa's main manga like Tomishima Publishing did.

Their main focus here seems to be a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending.

Even the slogan is - what? No featured comics? No! All our comics are flagship comics!

Underneath the cover of the magazine are the pen names of each of the main comic book authors.

This made Higashinoji also understand why New Iwazuki Publishing House has a rich heritage.

Just looking at this dense list of mainstay authors, it’s no wonder that Osawa Akiyoshi and others don’t have the confidence to compete.

Of the twenty-two comics serialized in "Chiyo", about nineteen are pillar-level works. The first nineteen comics are basically industry leaders with average sales of 7.8 million copies.

Especially the first five works, their average sales volume is about one million copies, and the serialization time of the works is basically more than ten years.

And the last three volumes are not weak at all. They are all outstanding newcomers with a good reputation. There is no problem with the average sales volume of 500,000 to 600,000 volumes.

All comics are flagship comics. This sentence is really not nonsense.

The lineup can also be said to be very luxurious.

It’s no wonder that New Iwazhu Publishing House is full of confidence and feels that even if they don’t poach Higashinoji, Tomishima Publishing House’s “He Shi” will not be able to compete with them.

I guess in their opinion, no matter how powerful Higashinoji is, can he still withstand the righteous gang fight of such a large number of authors?

After all, the serial works on "Chiyo" are not only the number of works, but the quality of the works is also terrible.

Readers in the comment section below were certainly surprised to see such a luxurious lineup.

This lineup of authors is too scary.

Many people also said that they will definitely buy a copy when it is published - it will not be a loss even if it is used as a souvenir.

After all, this is the first issue and is of commemorative value.

After reading some comments, Tonoji closed the web page and raised his eyebrows.

It's really not easy

If nothing else, this review is quite polarizing.

Tomishima Publishing House mainly reviews "Hansawa Naoki" written by Higashino Tsukasa, while "Chiyo" here has fans of various works, and the fan base is very wide.

The difference in background is indeed a bit big.

However, Tonoji was not too worried.

He has confidence in the sword "Hansawa Naoki".

"Are the release dates of both magazines this Friday?"

Higashikata sighed.

This is similar to the previous "Cold". The previous "Cold" was released on Friday at the earliest and on Monday of next week at the latest.

At this time of release, it seems that both sides want to touch each other, and there is no feeling of wanting to hide at all.

"This Friday is two days from now"

Higashikata muttered to himself.

He briefly calculated the time and finally nodded, not caring any further.

While Higashinoji was "observing the enemy's situation", on the other side, the manga authors from the old Fuji Publishing House hosted a dinner.

They also just saw the cover of Tomishima Publishing House's new issue "He Shi" today.

In particular, the cover of Higashino Tsukasa's work overwhelmed them all.

This is simply

So they, a group of authors who used to draw comics at Fuji Publishing House, got together and held a dinner party to express their thoughts on "Heshi" magazine.

The topic discussed by these comics authors from the old Fuji Publishing House was very simple. The main reason was that they felt that the editor of Fuji Publishing House was too partial to Higashino Tsukasa.

And Hojo Nagayasu is one of them. He is the one who has been commented as, "The overall introduction of the comic works is not as big as the title of "Hansawa Naoki" by Higashinoji. ’ cartoonist.

This matter made him feel very sad. After all, the comic book author was also a human being, and as long as he was a human being, he would certainly have selfish motives.

Although he knew there was a gap between him and Higashinoji, he wouldn't be treated like this, right?

So he came to this place to vent his anger.

At this time, Hojo Nagayasu had finished talking to several friends and authors. As soon as he stood up, he saw a female figure holding a sketchbook, drawing while walking, and preparing to leave.

After seeing clearly who the other party was, Hojo Nagayasu blinked and reached out to say hello: "Teacher Suzuki? What's wrong? Are you planning to leave now?"

The female figure in front of me is none other than Suzuki Ha, the former pillar of Fuji Publishing House. After she was recruited to Fuji Publishing House by Furuta Shinji, she is now back.

At this moment, I heard Hojo Changyasu saying hello. Suzuki Ha also took his eyes away from the sketchbook and turned to look at Hojo Nariyasu. After a while, he responded with a 'hmm'.

Hearing that Suzuki Hazhen was planning to leave, Hojo Nagayasu was also stunned.

Because as the mainstay of the front desk, she is basically a being who is scared to death when she is held in the hands of Fuji Publishing House. Now the introduction of her works has been pushed aside by Higashinoji. Is it possible that she has no ideas?

"I don't have any ideas."

Suzuki Yu seemed to understand Hojo Nagayasu's thoughts and said calmly: "I am not as strong as Mr. Higashino, so I was dismissed. It's that simple."

"Well, that's what I said."

Hojo Changyasu opened his mouth.

"Or do you think Hojo-sensei's work is comparable to Higashino-sensei's "Hansawa Naoki"?"

Suzuki Yu asked with a calm expression.

"." Hojo Nagayasu.

He still knows whether he can compare with this. I guess Higashinoji draws with his left hand and the things he draws are more beautiful than him, right? After all, everyone in the industry knows that Higashinoji has the ability to fight left and right.

"Since we can't compare, this result is natural. There is nothing to be unwilling to do."

Suzuki Yu's voice was not loud, but the words he spoke made the old authors from Fuji Publishing House who were complaining just now slowly shut their mouths.

Indeed.

You can’t come up with a work that can beat Higashinoji, and yet you’re nagging here. This is meaningless at all.

"Does Mr. Suzuki think Mr. Higashino can beat an exaggerated combination like "Chiyo"?"

Hojo Nagayasu couldn't help asking.

To be honest, he almost lost his temper when he saw the lineup of comic book authors presented by New Rock Publishing House today.

Is this going to hit you on the head?

Just like a traditional Japanese RPG game, where a brave man fights a demon king, there are four kings behind the demon king who give experience.

But this time it's obviously different. There are no four heavenly kings to give experience to, and they are all demon kings on the opposite side. How should you fight? Beat him on the head?

Facing Hojo Nagayasu's question, Suzukiha just shook his head: "I think Mr. Higashino can do it."

Well.

Hojo Changyasu was speechless at these words.

How confident is Suzuki Yu in Higashinoji?

Do you think Higashikata is okay with this?

To use an inappropriate analogy, this is like your comics trying to compete with "Naruto" and "One Piece". It's very difficult.

Other comics authors were also speechless, but they didn't know how to refute.

After all, the Suzuki Yu in front of them has the best grades among them. Even if they want to refute, they don't have the confidence to refute.

And Suzuki Yu has always had a top-notch taste in reading comics.

She has predicted the results of comic series many times, and she has basically made no mistakes.

Even Furuta Shinji praised her vision.

If she even said that, it would be really hard to tell.

Seeing that they were no longer talking, Suzuki Ha bowed slightly to Hojo Changyasu and the others, and left holding the sketchbook in his hands.

Only a group of comics authors from the old Fuji Publishing House were left behind, looking at each other in confusion.

Even now, they still don't understand why Suzuki Yu is so confident.

Higashino Tsukasa on the other side certainly didn’t know what the author of the old Fuji Publishing House was thinking.

But I guess even if he knew, he would just smile and get over it.

There's really nothing to worry about.

What he should focus on is the current situation of "He Shi".

Whether "Naoki Hansawa" can gain momentum will, to some extent, affect his approach to establishing an online comic platform.

That is, in various opinions.

Tomishima Publishing's "Hese" and Shin Iwazuki Publishing's "Chiyo" finally entered convenience stores and bookstores across the country on Friday.

The war between the general and a group of demon kings has officially begun!

Thanks for the fate of thousands of lives, the tears when I wake up from the dream, the first couplet of the whale falling north and south, the Chinese people, book friend 20170126171035014, my heart is like a breeze coming from the reward! Thank you so much!
