Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?.

Chapter 310: Demon Kingdom Collapses! Fire!
"Official kiln comics" is a term referring to porcelain. It means that the government commissioned well-known cartoonists to publish some comics or even animations for the purpose of educating the public.

This involves a tradition passed down from the Warring States Period in Japan: "Going to Kyoto".

Going to Kyoto was an action taken by Japanese daimyo during the Warring States Period to lead their troops into Kyoto to demonstrate their strength to dominate the world.

All the famous producers, supervisors and directors from major Japanese TV stations always shoot Taiga dramas.

"What? You've never filmed a Taiga drama, and you still dare to call yourself a master of movies and dramas?"

If you succeed in filming a Taiga drama, you can be considered a top-tier producer, top-tier supervisor, and top-tier director. This is the peak of the TV drama industry.

The comics industry also has similar Shangluo, which is the national hit comic. The usual measurement standard can be sales of 100 million copies, or occupying the top spot in the comics ranking for four consecutive quarters. There is no absolute standard, but it is certain that it can be called a monopoly.

The latest title bestowed on the Internet is: hegemony.

This is where the hegemony came from.

The old director bowed his head slightly and said, "Teacher Oda, I have been re-elected for one term. I hope that during this term, I can bring out a manga or animation that can be recognized by the public."

The Cultural Affairs Agency's Shangluo is slightly different, in that it requires a popular anime or manga that is well-received by the general public.

This was an important achievement of the Director General of the Department of Culture before he left office, a glory worth bragging about until old age. After the previous Director General of the Department of Culture left office, he often expressed regret to the people around him that he did not highlight this achievement.

In another world, Mr. Tezuka also drew educational comics for the Agency for Cultural Affairs and achieved success.

Now Shunji Yonekura hopes to light up the achievements of this Shangluo-level official kiln comics during his term as director.

Oda Shingo didn't say anything for a while.

But when he saw the old director lower his head slightly, he immediately leaned forward and showed respect for his predecessor.

He had no good feelings towards Japanese officials, but he could do so out of respect for his predecessors in the music industry.

The original comic manuscript of "Cells at Work!" was brought to the ceremony site and was in Yuko Mikami's handbag in the outer hall. If he didn't express his opinion immediately, he was waiting for the bait.

It is not necessary to give the other party what they want immediately. You are a koi fish, and although they will not refuse your offer, you must at least throw out a baited hook.

If you want me to create "official kiln comics" to achieve the achievement of the Cultural Affairs Bureau's Shangluo, then you need to offer a suitable price to make me interested.

You are in the government, and I am in the comics industry, but in the end it’s all about profit.

Seeing that Oda Shingo not only did not actively pat his chest to express his loyalty, but did not even answer immediately, the old director thought in his heart that this young man was worthy of being the big devil who had made the Qun Ying She so embarrassed.

"Teacher Oda, due to the poor confidentiality of our office, the news of the selection has been leaked. I believe you have known about it before. This is just the recognition you deserve. In fact, in many aspects, we are very happy to further support the development of new cartoonists!"

Oda Shingo immediately made a gesture of listening attentively.

This young man is so cunning! The old director knew it in his heart, but he only indirectly mentioned the many media controls of the Cultural Department.

It is true that the Ministry of Culture does not interfere with Japanese media in many cases. But this does not mean that there is no interference. If they are willing to intervene, even Asahi Shimbun, Yomiuri Shimbun and Fuji TV will give them some face.

Oda Nobuo also knew that once he reached the position of director, many things would not be as clear as what ordinary people could say.

What's more, my strength has not been demonstrated yet.

"I was told by Mr. Mikami Saburo of Springfield Books before. I took a preliminary look at it and thought about it carefully." Oda Shingo threw out his goods. "If the director is interested, I have a manuscript here for you to review."

"Oh? Has the manuscript been published?!" The old director was very happy.

"It's in the hands of my assistant. I'll present it to you later, sir, for your review." Oda Shingo said respectfully.

The old director smiled more and more: "Recently, Mr. Oda has been called the devil of the comics world, and his reputation is well-deserved."

This is a compliment to me, Oda Shingo smiled.

"For outstanding young people, the Ministry of Culture also has corresponding incentive policies, especially personal income tax preferences."

The Ministry of Culture certainly cannot directly manage taxation, and it is not the National Tax Agency, but it holds tax reduction and support quotas for some outstanding projects and cultural figures. Oda Shingo immediately became alert and said, "I really don't understand this aspect, but I am very interested. I must ask more about the policy regulations."

This old man, after seeing my sincerity, gave me a bigger piece of pork.

This is not just bait, but a real exchange of interests.

Cartoonists are heavily taxed, especially popular artists whose comics are very popular.

On Earth, there is a saying that because Akira Toriyama paid so much in taxes, the highway was built for him.

Because his home in Nagoya is far from the airport, he wanted to move. The mayor of Nagoya planned a highway with an entrance not far from his parking garage, fearing that this big taxpayer would leave.

It has only been two months since Oda Shingo became famous, but his tax payment has already exceeded one million. By the end of the year at the latest, he will inevitably become a taxpayer of tens of millions of yen.

The transaction went very smoothly and the two men shook hands cordially and prepared to attend the award ceremony.

Before leaving, Oda Shingo specifically asked, "I don't know if it's appropriate to ask, but if I win the prize, I plan to push Guobeng to power."

"Kokubeng" is the Japanese name for a cannon, so naturally he wanted to criticize someone in his speech.

The old director was stunned, but soon smiled with understanding: "I invited Mr. Oda to the VIP room because I was not afraid of anything happening."

Oda Shingo also laughed.

The assistant director saw Oda Nobuo and his party out of the VIP room, and the old director smiled at their backs.

"Are all the young people nowadays so old?"

The assistant came back soon and handed over a photocopy of the new comic.

"This..." The old director took a few glances and his eyes widened in surprise.
-
The award ceremony went smoothly.

[2023 Best Newcomer Award——Oda Shingo! 】

Amidst warm applause and envious gazes, Oda Shingo came on stage and received the certificate of reward.

"I am standing here, first of all, I want to thank the Ministry of Culture... secondly, Springfield Books... and my assistants Crane, Orange, Yuzu, and everyone who has helped me..."

"Eh? I think I forgot Qunying Society on the thank you list? Yes, thank you Qunying Society, thank you to the president of Qunying Society, ugh, ugh, ugh, a fly flew into my mouth, it's so dirty! I'm sorry everyone."

"Okay, now it's time to get serious."

"Before, there was something called, oh, the Cartoonists Association's awards. Oh, look at my memory. After all, I don't pay much attention to some non-governmental organizations. The official awards are more reliable."

"Some things are strange after all. Could it be that the comic newcomers last year, the year before last, and the year before last performed better than me this year? Why didn't I get the award that time?"

"After thinking it over, I think I must have been wrong. So I would like to ask the judges of the Cartoonists Association to drink a cup of milk tea each to express my apology. I owe the judges of the Cartoonists Association the first cup of milk tea in autumn."

"By the way, your Best Newcomer Award is vacant. After I win the sales championship for the whole year, I want to ask if you will give me the Best Newcomer Award?"

"thank you all."

This is the speech that Shingo Oda gave when he received the award.

Random! Very aggressive! Pointing at someone's nose and cursing!

This is the official award that will be broadcast on television and online.

This is the first time someone openly insulted someone at an awards ceremony!

The audience immediately got excited!
"Great Demon King Palace! Fire your cannons at the country's collapse--!!!"
