Tokyo life starting with painting

Although the authors from Iwazhu Publishing House are not familiar with Higashinoji, they are in the same circle, and of course they still have ways to contact each other.

Just like Ozawada, who was used as a spearhead by Iwakaku Publishing House and competed with "Unnatural Death", but still had contact with him after that.

His relationship with Higashinoji is quite good.

It's just that Higashinoji didn't expect that the other party would actually come to him because of the matter of his own Iwazoology Publishing House.

"I can also understand why Mr. Zhulin and the others are angry."

As a representative, Ozawada said to Higashinoji.

Of course he knows that Higashinoji is the comics editor-in-chief of other publishing houses.

"It's just that the current Iwazuki Publishing House still has Horikoshi and the others."

Having said this, even Ozawa, who had always been polite, couldn't help scratching his hair.

To be honest, as a comic book author in the old Yanjiao Publishing House, he can be regarded as a well-established author in today's Yanjiao Publishing House.

But even he can feel that something is wrong with the current situation at Iwazuki Publishing House. Even people like Horikoshi Hanpei, who has no moral bottom line, have been invited back.

"Mr. Ozawa, what do you hope I can do to help you?"

Higashinoji shook his head. He had already heard about this from Seo Daigo, and knew that the current editor-in-chief of Iwazuki Publishing House was the type who liked to take advantage of opportunities.

Higashinoji himself did not have a good impression of the author Horikoshi Hanpei.

Making fun of the deceased and their families.

And I once hacked him on social media.

All things combined, Higashinoji certainly doesn't like this author.

"We hope Mr. Higashino can allow Tomishima Publishing House to put pressure on Iwatsu Publishing House. That is to allow your editor to contact some newspapers and write some negative remarks about Iwatsu Publishing House."

"Huh? Yes, yes, but will it be effective?"

Higashino glanced at Ozawada strangely.

Higashinoji and Tomishima Publishing House have already formed a cooperative relationship, but he can still help with this little favor.

But aren’t all these news and newspaper fabrications based on groundless lies? There is no basis in reality at all.

Readers probably won’t believe it either.

But immediately after, Ozawada said something that made Higashinoji show a look of realization:

"Regarding this, I can clearly tell Mr. Higashino that I and the other five manga authors present will announce the suspension of publication."

No publication.

This is a method often used by comic book authors.

For example, if you are seriously ill and in pain and it is really impossible to maintain the comic series, you will directly announce that the comic series will be temporarily suspended. The time to resume serialization will depend on the notice.

It's just that according to the comic book author's contract, the author is usually not allowed to suspend publication without reason - this has legal effect.

After all, if you take a break from publication and I take a break from publication, how can this comic magazine survive?

However, although there is legal protection, the legal effect is actually very small. After all, the author always has the final right to explain the reason for suspending publication.

For example, if the author has back pain and cannot hold the pen, he can always find any excuse to stop publication.

Just like when many people read books at Qidian, there will always be authors who are seriously ill and in pain and ask for leave - who can know whether it is true or false?

This is an area that is difficult for the law to control.

Likewise, so many manga authors from Iwatsu Publishing House have stopped publishing, which is bound to spark a discussion among uninformed readers.

At that time, the negative news about Iwazuki Publishing House written by Tomishima Publishing House will be useful.

"We hope that the board of directors of the publishing house will take this matter seriously."

Ozawada bowed deeply: "Please, Mr. Higashino!"

".I see."

Higashinoji finally understood why Ozawada was looking for him.

The other party probably wanted to drive away Horikoshi Hanpei and the new editor-in-chief of Iwasu Publishing House, so they thought of this method of putting pressure.

Even if the new editor-in-chief Hiroto Omiya or Hanpei Horikoshi cannot be driven away, it is estimated that it will attract the attention of some people on the board of directors and make them restrain their behavior in the publishing house.

This is a way for them to vent their dissatisfaction.

"I will help. I will notify the editor-in-chief of Tomima Publishing House later."

Higashinoji thought about it and felt that this matter had little to do with him, and it was indeed a good thing to be able to disgust Hanpei Horikoshi and the current editor-in-chief of Iwazuki Publishing House.

He simply agreed to the request of Ozawada and others, and then chatted with the authors of Iwazhu Publishing House for a while before leaving.

On the way back, Touyoshi couldn't help but shake his head.

Sure enough, the bad guys will be rewarded. This is indeed true.

Horikoshi Hanpei had just returned to Iwazuki Publishing House. It was obviously the time to keep a low profile and build up strength, but the result was that he immediately aroused public outrage.

"If I remember correctly, the next time "Chiyo" will be when Horikoshi Hanpei resumes serialization, right?"

Higashinoji was a little gloating.

As soon as the serialization resumed, six authors announced that they were suspending publication. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that this was aimed at him.

After all, even with the financial resources of Iwazuki Publishing House, it would be difficult to suddenly find comics to replace the six authors' suspended works to save the situation.

Maybe the sales day will be postponed for two days, and it will be postponed directly to Monday before the sale starts.

"Let's wait until the next "Chiyo" release date."

Tonoji murmured with a smile.

But as soon as he finished speaking, his expression became a little weird again.

Why do I feel like the villain who plans everything?

This isn't quite right.

This time I am just a freeloader.

He shook his head vigorously, throwing all the messy thoughts out of his mind.

Let’s work on painting “Naoki Hansawa” seriously.

Starting this week, the plot of "Hansawa Naoki" is about to reach its first climax, and Hansawa Naoki is about to defeat the Asano branch president and enter the head office.

This can be said to be fierce, and it will definitely beat the scalp of Horikoshi Hanpei's "Investigation Team".

Time flies by very quickly, and just two days later, around Wednesday, it will be almost the most important day of the week for the editorial department of "Chiyo".

That is the receipt.

The same is true for Ozawada's editor-in-chief, Editor Kobayashi.

It's just a manuscript, so editor Xiao Lin is not so worried.

After all, Ozawada's professional quality is very high. He always delivers the manuscript on time and has only a handful of holidays. Basically, he only needs to make a phone call and inform Ozawada, and he can get the original manga manuscript from the other party.

Editor Kobayashi called Ozawada according to the usual procedure, thinking that today would be the day to receive the manuscript smoothly and safely.

but

"Ms. Ozawa's manuscript hasn't been completed yet?"

Editor Xiaolin was surprised when he heard Ozawada's voice on the other end of the phone.

This is so strange.

There are three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, and the number of days Ozawada has not finished the manuscript can be counted on ten fingers.

I just happened to bump into him today.

But Editor Kobayashi is not worried. After all, there is still one full day before the deadline, and Ozawada has enough time to finish the drawing.

He believes in the other person's abilities.

Editor Kobayashi discussed it briefly with Ozawada and then hung up the phone.

And just after he hung up the phone, his colleague editor beside him also took a breath and said hello to him: "Editor Xiaolin, how is the situation of Mr. Ozawa over there?"

"This week may be a little difficult, but Mr. Ozawada's credibility is there, so it shouldn't affect the serialization."

Editor Xiaolin answered confidently.

"Really? As expected of Mr. Ozawa. It's different here. Mr. Takebayashi seems to have some difficulty with the manuscript this week."

Xiao Lin's colleague shook his head: "Maybe we have to take a break for a week."

"is it so serious?"

Editor Xiaolin was a little surprised.

Suspension of publication is not a trivial matter. If a comic stops updating this week, it is necessary to find other replacement works.

However, the quality of these temporary substitutes must be generally worrying, and in severe cases, it will affect the sales of "Chiyo".

The consequences of suspending just one comic are so serious. If it were two or three comics, it would be even more unimaginable.

However, Editor Kobayashi is still very confident. After all, this is Iwazhu Publishing House. Most of the comics authors have high professional quality, so it will not really happen that two or three comics will be suspended at the same time.

Editor Xiaolin thought this way. Before he could comfort the colleague in front of him, another editor who came over curiously after listening to their conversation had already turned his head and spoke.

"Huh? Is it such a coincidence? The author I am responsible for seems to be in a hurry for manuscripts this week, and it seems that the publication will be suspended."

As soon as these words were spoken, even the expression of Editor Xiaolin, who had always been confident, changed slightly.

Why aren't the three works squeezed together?

Is it possible that both publications should be suspended?

What should we do with the substitute comic works?

Before Editor Xiaolin finished thinking, another colleague on the other side spoke up: "Huh? Are you the same? It's the same here. The works I'm responsible for seem to be a little behind the schedule."

Not only Xiaolin couldn't hold it in any longer, but the other two editors also had somewhat incomprehensible expressions.

The suspension of publication of one work can be said to be a coincidence, but the suspension of publication of two works can be regarded as forced.

But Editor Xiaolin counted carefully and found that a total of six authors had stopped publishing - this is no small matter!

You must know that "Chiyo" only has a total of twenty comic series. This time, six works are missing, which is equivalent to a quarter of the content missing. Moreover, they are all very popular works. How can it be so good?

He did not hesitate to tell Omiya Hiroto about the situation.

Hiroto Omiya, who was thinking about how to maintain a more stable position as editor-in-chief, was stunned when he heard about the suspension of six works.

"Six comic works are on hiatus?"

What's happening here?

The more Omiya Hiroto thought about it, the more something was wrong, and he felt that this was too much of a coincidence.

It's impossible for all six comic book authors to be unwell, right?

He thought this, and then quickly thought of the author's gathering a few days ago.

It seems that Horikoshi Hanpei was having trouble with several authors.

"Could it be because of this?"

Omiya Hiroto thought of the situation at that time.

The method he adopted at that time was not to help each other.

But anyone with a discerning eye can basically tell that he still prefers Hanpei Horikoshi.

After all, what Horikoshi Hanpei said at that time was indeed a bit excessive.

"But let's not publish this."

Omiya Kanto was a little worried.

He immediately wanted to get up and go find the six editors and ask them to personally visit the homes of these off-page authors.

But not before he stood up.

The door to his editor's office was pushed open again, and at the same time there was a hurried figure of the editor: "Chief Editor Omiya, I found this outside."

".What?"

Omiya Hiroto subconsciously kept calm and took the newspaper handed to him.

Then the whole person's expression changed from calm to extremely unstable: "This is."

The content of this newspaper is very simple. It probably talks about the impact of Iwatsu Publishing House using a "talented but unethical" author like Horikoshi Hanpei, and criticizes Iwatsu Publishing House for being too ugly.

To be honest, this kind of news newspaper is not that strange in normal times. After all, Yanzhu Publishing House has a big business, so it is normal for someone to publish some targeted articles.

but

Something suddenly happened at this juncture.

Omiya Hiroto is not a fool. Of course he realized that this was definitely a planned and premeditated raid.

And the only thing he has to do is...

"Hurry up, I want to go to the homes of these six authors in person and you guys can help me contact them."

Hiroto Omiya had to convince these authors to re-serialize the series.

Otherwise, "Chiyo" would have caused such a big mess not even half a month after it was handed over to him. Wouldn't his position as editor-in-chief be in jeopardy?

For a moment, the entire Yanzhu Publishing House was in motion.

It's just that the Iwazuki Publishing House at this time was not as organized as it was when Seo Daigo was around, and everyone was in a hurry.

All the editors of Yanzhu Publishing House noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere.

As the sworn enemy of Iwazuki Publishing House, Tomshima Publishing House certainly received the news about the enemy publishing house.

This refreshed Editor-in-Chief Urashima's spirits and felt that it had once again hit the enemy's morale.

Similarly, he also began to vaguely look forward to the release of "Chiyo" this week.

A total of six excellent works are missing. Is it possible that they still want to rely on Horikoshi Hanpei's "Investigation Team" to make a comeback?

Do you really think that every manga is "Naoki Hansawa"?

And Higashinoji, who built this bridge with his own hands, did not expect that the suspension of six comics would bring such a huge blow to the editorial department of "Chiyo".

But this just fulfilled his wish.

Higashinoji put down the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help but start thinking about what Hanpei Horikoshi would look like when "Chiyo" goes on sale on Friday.

Probably the other person will turn into a pig liver face by then.

After all, the cartoonist in the same magazine didn't like him at all, and Higashinoji stabbed him from the sidelines.

He will definitely feel very uncomfortable.

And it was under such complicated attention and backstabbing.

Time has finally arrived slowly at the release date of "Chiyo".

Thanks for the reward from Yuanfen Qiansheng! Thank you so much!
