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

Chapter 40 He made a decision that went against the teachings of his ancestors.jpg

"JUMP?" The editor-in-chief stopped.

His eyes glanced at his right-hand man, Yusuke Tamura.

Editor Tamura stood up and bowed and said: "Chief Editor, this is Mr. Asaba, the person I communicated with you about the illustrator contract before."

The editor-in-chief's eyes lit up. He first looked at Daisuke Hiramaki and said, "Supervisor Hiramaki, this is a light novel author we are going to recommend highly in the near future, Mr. Asaba.

Mr. Asaba's new work still has some gimmicks, and his writing style is also excellent. Even the teacher's illustrations are done by himself. He is a very powerful person. "

Qian Yufengjian was a little surprised.

He originally thought that the editor-in-chief would be as grumpy as in the simulation, but now it seems that when you have a bright future, you will find that all the noise around you disappears, leaving only goodwill.

Asaba Kazama showed a polite smile, shook hands with the editor-in-chief first, and then with Daisuke Hiramaki, and said calmly:

"Asaba Kazama, a major student, part-time light novel author and manga artist."

Daisuke Hiramaki stared at the illustrations on the table and suddenly said: "Mr. Asaba, you just said that your novel will be serialized on JUMP?"

Qianyu Kazama nodded: "That's what happened. I just handed in the manuscript yesterday."

Daisuke Hiramaki was in awe: "I wonder who your editor is?"

"It's Mr. Takano Ken, I wonder if you've heard of it."

Daisuke Hiramaki nodded, finally confirming that what he said was true.

Editor Takano Ken knows that he has completed the manga adaptation of the popular work "Hillar Destroyer: Blade", and now is the period when sales are exploding.

"It's really amazing." When he said this, the light from the top of the office illuminated Daisuke Hiramaki's forehead.

The editor-in-chief next to him said slowly: "Supervisor Hiramaki, it's not that I don't want to help you. In fact, as you know, Dengeki Bunko is not my own. Now that your company is in such a situation, even if I want to help you, the plan If you submit it to the head office, it will probably be rejected.

It would be better for you to take a look at some potential works. I personally think that given the current situation of your company, instead of thinking about popular masterpieces, it is better to find some light novels with enough gimmicks for comic adaptation.

If you are willing, we will fully support it. "

Seeing what the editor-in-chief said so clearly, Daisuke Hiramaki could only sigh, nodded and said:

"There's really no way to negotiate?"

"Director Hiramaki, you should also consider our situation. Kadokawa is still watching over there."

Daisuke Hiramaki was silent for a long time and nodded: "I'm very sorry for disturbing you."

The editor-in-chief sighed: "If your company can survive this period of time, we will be sincere enough for subsequent cooperation."

The implication is, not now.

Daisuke Hiramaki opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end.

"The animation industry is as cruel as ever." Asaba Kazama said softly from the side. "JUMP stops serializing quite a few works every year, and many of them cannot even be transferred to other journals under Shueisha."

Generally speaking, JUMP specifically refers to "Weekly Shōnen Jump", but in fact there are many other weekly magazines under Shueisha. Some of them have not achieved satisfactory results, but they are not bad works. After they stop serializing on JUMP, they will Put it directly into other weekly magazines and update it.

But most of the time, it’s like the author of the online article who cuts the book - the bottom part is gone.

Daisuke Hiramaki sighed and said nothing more.

He quietly turned his head and looked at the illustrations Asaba Kazama placed on the table.

The more I looked, the more frightened I became.

At this time, after collecting the contract, Editor Tamura began to verify the typescript and illustrations of Asaba Kazama's novel word for word.

Asaha Kazama opened the teaching aid materials and looked at them quietly.

Kazama’s Principle 2: Manage your time well and make full use of fragmented time to become a better Tokyo boy.

After a long time, Qianyu Kazama closed the book slightly, left half of his body empty and said:

"Director Hiramaki, it's very tiring to stand all the time. If you want to watch, just sit down."

Daisuke Hiramaki said "Ah", and then he realized that it seemed rude to him to stand nearby and watch.

After all, the light novel author's manuscript and illustrations haven't been released to the market yet, and they can be regarded as Dengeki Bunko's trade secrets. It doesn't look good for him to look like this.

But...he couldn't move his feet.

Some people who don’t know much about the animation supervision industry may not understand the responsibilities of animation supervision.

But if you change the term, many people will understand its accusation.

【Animation Director】!

An excellent original animator may not necessarily be an excellent supervisor.

An excellent supervisor must be a sufficiently qualified or even excellent original animator.

Daisuke Hiramaki's aesthetics for illustrations is online.

It is precisely because he is online that he cannot leave!

So beautiful!

In some paintings, the content of the composition is obviously not complicated, but it always gives people an eye-catching feeling.

Logically speaking, Daisuke Hiramaki should leave voluntarily now.

But mentally...he wanted to see it a few more times.

So he chose to sit down in a very honest manner and gently flipped through the illustrations that had been reviewed.

Next to him, Asaba Kazama was reading a book seriously.

He is really learning.

Although he has the strength to lure Daisuke Hiramaki to take the bait, it does not mean that he will put down the work in hand.

In other words, he has absolute confidence that Daisuke Hiramaki will take the initiative to ask him.

After Yusuke Tamura reviewed all the content, he raised his head and said from the bottom of his heart:

"Teacher Qianyu, you are really amazing."

Asaba Kazama closed the book and said, "I think too much. It's just that few people take this shortcut."

"Being able to find shortcuts is a skill in itself. Besides, being able to pass JUMP's review is inherently very capable." Editor Tamura said with a smile, "Being able to do this in high school is really outstanding."

When Daisuke Hiramaki saw the two of them starting to chat, he suddenly asked: "What is Mr. Asaba's new work? Can I take a look at it?"

If the writing is really good and the number of serialized volumes is large, it may not be impossible to settle for the second best.

But Asaha Kazama shook his head: "The first volume will be published next week."

Daisuke Hiramaki was heartbroken. This had not been published yet and there were no practical results. How could he convince the company?

He then remembered what Asaba Kazama said that his comics would not be on JUMP until next week.

This is good, there are no results to prove it in the comics.

But... But only he who has seen Asaba Kazama's works with his own eyes knows what an excellent original artist he is.

It's a pity that not many people will believe it without proven ability.

…

Qian Yu Kazama looked at Daisuke Hiramaki's lost state and snickered in his heart, but felt that it was natural.

After all, when he saw Rina Ishihara's paintings for the first time during the simulation, he also lost his temper like this.

Now it's my turn to see others like this, and I feel even more refreshed.

As expected of my girl.

Huh?

Suddenly he had the urge to fall in love in reality, but fortunately he had strong willpower and suppressed it.

Editor Tamura packed up his things and prepared to leave.

Daisuke Hiramaki knew it was time for him to leave, so he stood up and left.

Qianyu Kazama did not leave him alone.

He is not in a hurry to cooperate with Animation Studio now.

He has to let people see his strength in order to achieve better cooperation.

He took a slow sip of tea. Tamura Yusuke planned to take him to an izakaya to eat something good without drinking alcohol after getting off work.

But what he didn't know was that outside Dengeki Bunko Company, Daisuke Hiramaki was on the phone.

"Hey, are you editor Takano Ken? Ah, I'm Daisuke Hiramaki from Animation Studio. I just want to ask you something. Do you know Mr. Asaba?"

"Ah, yes, I met him at Dengeki Bunko. What, you don't know that Dengeki Bunko plans to vigorously promote Mr. Asaba recently?"

"What? The editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief are very optimistic about Teacher Qianyu's new work?"

"Did you also give me the front page and color pages?"

"Ah, understand clearly, these things will not be revealed."

…

When Daisuke Hiramaki was watching downstairs of Dengeki Bunko Company, he saw Asaba Kazama walking with his editor and saying:

"I haven't had time to write the manuscript recently, Mr. Tamura. The contents of the next three volumes are all here, and the subsequent review will be left to you."

The hesitation in Daisuke Hiramaki's heart was shaken like never before.

"It's better to find some light novels with enough gimmicks to adapt them into comics." The words came to his mind.

He took a deep breath and strengthened his judgment again.

He quietly followed the two of them.

He made a decision that went against the teachings of his ancestors.jpg
