We’ve traveled through Tokyo, who still wants to simulate love?

[Location: An empty classroom next to the Art Department of Hakuin High School]

Chihiro Ishiguro lit a cigarette again, puffed out a puff of smoke, looked quietly at the young man sitting opposite him, and said with a smile:

"Tell me, if you want me to help you with anything, you can't ask for anything at all. Come to the art department to find me, an old man."

"Teacher Ishiguro, you are joking. You are not old at all. The principal hopes that you will cultivate more high-end talents in the field of painters!" Asaba Kazama said obediently.

Just now in the classroom, there are two purposes for showing holiness to others:

First, verify and see how exaggerated Ishihara Rina’s talent is.

Second, he wanted to borrow Mr. Ishiguro’s connections.

He said bluntly:

"Teacher Ishiguro, I heard that Editor Takano of "Shōnen Weekly JUMP" was once your student and he dared to beg you. I want to meet him and read my comics."

"Very urgent?"

"It's urgent."

"That's it... I can help you, but I have a condition in exchange." Chihiro Ishiguro folded a piece of paper on the table three times before putting the cigarette butt on the paper and extinguishing it, "You, are you interested in participating in the Tokyo Youth Painting Competition? Are you interested?"

Asaba Kazama instantly knew what Chihiro Ishiguro meant, blinked and said:

"Of course, didn't I tell you before that I hope you can help me to participate in the Tokyo Youth Painting Competition?" He added, "After all, you are my instructor!"

Chihiro Ishiguro nodded and said, "Have you brought the first draft?"

"Keep it with you all the time." Qianyu Kazama opened his school bag and handed over a stack of drawings.

He took it casually, flipped through it roughly, raised his head and asked, "Go out for a meal with me, and you will meet the person you want to meet."

Qian Yufengjian's expression changed slightly, and in the end, thousands of words came together into a simple "I can't thank you enough".

…

[Location: Around Hakuin High School·Sushi Restaurant]

He wants his comics to take off as quickly as possible, otherwise, even if he is willing to wait, [Animation Studio] will not wait until it is in debt crisis.

If it is delayed for a long time, it will be much more difficult for him to plan the first pot of gold by starting construction. .

After all, in the simulator, the animation studio turned a corner and quickly made a lot of money.

In this world without past life experience as a reference, it is not easy to find a business that is sure to make a profit without losing money, and the possibility of making a huge profit is extremely low.

And he has the opportunity to intervene now. Animation studios currently lack excellent planners, senior original artists, and excellent supervisors. If he intervenes, he really has the opportunity to make a small fortune. There is no problem in making a pot of gold. If the plan goes well, even able……

This was the reason why he came to see Chiyu Ishiguro.

But I never expected that he would give face like this.

After hesitating for a moment, he still asked in a low voice: "Teacher Ishiguro, calling someone out like this will waste your favor. Why do you want to help me to this extent?"

"Maybe because of the possibility?" Ishiguro said casually, "You have to know that the painter circle is also a world of personal relationships. Even professional painters who want to make better money will be influenced by the circle. According to you Depending on the circle, the income will be significantly different.”

Teacher Ishiguro spread his hands and said, "Forty thousand yen for a meal of sushi like this is just a small sum of money to me, but I'll sell you a favor first, and wait until one day you become famous and popular. , maybe you can come over and hold my hand.

That's what a teacher's job is. Of course, I don't just do this to you. I will also give a helping hand to some children who have the same possibility. "

Just as Mr. Ishiguro said this, he suddenly raised his head and pointed at the person who walked in slowly: "Take this guy for example."

"Teacher, I also have a name."

A man with a middle parted hair came in: "Takano Ken, editor of "Weekly Shōnen Jump", hello."

He stretched out his hand towards Asaha Kazama.

"Qianyu Kazama, nice to meet you." Qianyu Kazama also extended his hand.

Takano Ken looked at Asaba Kazama with a little curiosity in his eyes, but he seemed quite friendly.

"Is this the genius that you specially called me to recommend to me, teacher?" His voice was gentle, but Asaha Kazama could feel that there was a bit of distrust in his eyes as he looked at him.

"Sit down, Qianyu, and show him your original painting. This is a special gift from me."

Asaba Kazama nodded, took out the manuscript paper from his backpack, and handed it to Editor Takano.

Takano Ken was about to take it apart and look at it, but Chihiro Ishiguro hit him with chopsticks: "Eat first, otherwise you will be fascinated by it again later."

Takano Ken didn't care either.

He has been working at Shueisha for almost six years. He is no longer the ignorant newcomer he was back then. He still has one or two hit works under his belt.

It can be said that in the extremely competitive editorial department, he can be regarded as an old man who has read quite a few comics by newcomers.

If it weren't for the "Pillar Destroyer Blade" in his hand that was already determined to be completed within half a year, he wouldn't have hurriedly put down his work and rushed here when he heard from his teacher that he had found a very powerful comic genius.

But when he saw Qian Yu Kazama for the first time, he was a little disappointed.

Too young... To be honest, Shueisha has not encountered young geniuses, such as "Muscle Man" co-created by 17-year-old Shimada Ryuji and 18-year-old Nakai Yoshinori, but those were all works from the last century. .

In the new era, many of the original convenient roads that rode the wind of the times have been almost taken by our predecessors.

Recreating a popular cartoonist among high school students in the new century is much more difficult than it was in the previous century.

Naturally, after seeing Asaba Kazama, he looked down upon him a bit, but he still said politely:

"It's okay. I can take a look at the sushi first. It doesn't matter if it's cold."

How could Chihiro Ishiguro not hear the prejudice in this student's words? He just snorted coldly and said:

"Okay, you watch first, boy Qianyu, and we eat slowly."

Takano Ken didn't take it seriously, but his eyes were still attracted by the cover drawn by Asaba Kazama because it was so beautiful.

"It does seem to be a bit level?"

After Takano Ken opened a chapter, his original casual expression began to change slightly.

Page after page, turn over carefully.

The expression on his face became more and more serious. He never raised his head, but quietly turned over the drawings.

"I made a mistake. Where did this little monster come from? Isn't it a ghostwriter?"

Suddenly he raised his head and looked at Qianyu Kazama, his voice was so excited that he said hoarsely:

"Are you going to submit an article for "Weekly Shōnen Jump"?"

"Um."

"Wait a minute, I don't want to eat sushi. Teacher, I need to contact the editor-in-chief." Takano Kenyuki stood up in a hurry and hid outside the door. Qian Yufengjian could vaguely hear him yelling inside the door. .

"Team leader, aren't we going to have a series meeting soon? I have found a good prospect here, a real good prospect, with talent that can be seen at a glance. The most important thing is that he is not yet eighteen years old!"
