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

Chapter 458: How are my sister and Shingo?

It has never happened in the history of comics that a live-action movie is being discussed after just two publications.

Even the god of Japanese comics in the last century did not receive such treatment!

"Mr. Oda is worthy of being the Great Devil. After only two episodes, people are considering making a live-action movie version!" The employees of the marketing department of Springfield Books could only sigh with emotion and bow three times to the statue of the Great Devil.

Of course, this has to do with the rhythm of the times.

The overall pace of the comics industry in the last century was slower, with animation, theatrical adaptation, and film adaptation often occurring five or six years after the comics were serialized.

There are some exceptions on Earth, such as Takeuchi-sensei's "Sailor Moon", which began serialization in February 1992 and the animation started in March!
This is definitely a shocking speed today!

Of course, that was also because the manga was already finished in 1991, and the Takeuchi family's financial power was also used. In addition, there was also a big factor of the times, that was the last glorious period of burning money to rush the work.

By the 21st century, with the quickening pace of life, the process of animation has been accelerated to 2 years. In order to prevent the popularity of the comics from declining, the news was announced hastily as soon as the project was launched.

The fastest animation took one and a half years.

On Earth, the one that was relatively quickly announced to be adapted into an animation was "Girlfriends in Pairs".

There are other similar animations that seem to be very fast, but most of them are because they are based on the light novel projects at the same time, which leads to the rapid animation process of the comics.

The animations of Shingo Oda's manga have been confirmed to be "JOJO" and "Cells at Work!", and the manga progress of the latter has surpassed the former.

After all, "Cells at Work!" is a project officially supported by the Ministry of Culture, so naturally it has gained trust and background support from project approval to investment and shareholding, and it has received extremely good public response.

"But Mr. Oda's copyright for the adaptation is in his own hands."

An employee in the marketing department of Springfield Books suddenly told the cruel truth.

“No——” screamed the marketing director Wutou.

Snowflakes are flying, the north wind is howling...If this moment can be accompanied by a piece of Yi Jian Mei music, it would be a perfect finishing touch.

"We can't do anything about it. It's because Mr. Oda didn't sign a standard contract." The employees in the marketing department were all very depressed.

In fact, the proportion of profit that Spring Bookstore earns from Oda Shingo is much smaller than that of ordinary cartoonists. This is because the commission agreed in the contract is low, which was obtained with the help of Mrs. Yukino.

Given Oda Shingo's personality, if Mrs. Yukino wasn't one of the directors, he would have continued to lower the commission of Springfield Books. It's just that letting his accomplices make some money is considered an industry ethics.

The marketing staff at Springfield Books could only watch and talk.

"Oda-sensei's annual income is really in the tens figures."

“It’s already a few digits.”

"We were able to achieve our sales targets with a relatively low commission, so how could Mr. Oda's income be any lower?"

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a low commission.”

"Be content. Think about the Heroes Society, which is now squatting in the corner crying!"

"I guess the Qunying Society wants to hang itself."

The popularity of "Koga Ninja Scrolls" actually exceeded many people's expectations.

The senior management of Springfield Bookstore, from the fact that Saburo Mikami was the first to give the book to Ran Kono, it can be seen that he did not expect this work to become so popular.

Even the company president, Haruta Sadako, could not have imagined that a ninja-themed comic would have such a good market response.

At a high-level meeting at Springfield Books.

The president, vice president, several directors, department heads and assistants are holding a meeting to deploy recent work.

The discussion focused on how to further increase Springfield Books' market share in comic magazines.

Everyone understands that the key point is not Springfield Bookstore, but Mr. Oda's comics.

The market recognized Mr. Oda, not the name of Springfield Bookstore. What we need to do is to take advantage of Mr. Oda's momentum and do our own job well.

It's like a master is leading everyone to fly, he gets the MVP, and everyone easily pushes the crystal to get a high score together.

"Mikami-kun, please go to Mr. Oda's house more often and show more courtesy so that Mr. Oda can resume serialization in Champion as soon as possible."

"Hey!" There was a sharp gleam in Saburo Mikami's eyes, and it was obvious that he was determined to carry out this order to the end even at the cost of his life.

I am the main publication department, how can I let the supplement department take away all the glory? Even if that is the department of my girlfriend Takano Ran.

"I would like to remind you that no one can have any conflict with Mr. Oda, let alone show any disrespect." Haruta Sadako set the tone with a serious face. "I think I don't need to say much about his status in our Springfield Bookstore."

After waiting for two seconds, she even added: "You can even quarrel with me if you want, but you are not allowed to be angry with him."

Many people nodded vigorously, and everyone knew it.

"Hi Yi!"

"Hi Yi!"

"Hi Yi!"

Provoke Oda Shingo? Come on, we won't do that!

Any company has different forces, especially Japanese joint-stock companies. Internal factions are inevitable.

But when it comes to the matter of Oda Shingo, people from all forces have a completely consistent opinion: the big devil must be worshipped and must not be offended!

Look at how many things he has done in the six months since his debut in the comics industry that have angered everyone.

What about famous cartoonists? Aren’t they still trampled on the ground like dead dogs?

What happened to the former comics master? He had a mental breakdown and was hospitalized.

What happened to the head of the main publication department of the manga industry's top three companies, Gun-eisha? He resigned in disgrace!
Not to mention the director, even the president went to the hospital. He became the only person to be dismissed due to poor market performance. I am afraid that this will leave a shameful mark in the history of Qun Ying Society.

The big devil is too scary. Whether from the perspective of career development or personal physical or mental health, it is best not to provoke him.

If there was news today saying that the former saint of the comics world, Rumiko Kurokawa, was suddenly going to have a relationship with Shingo Oda, no one would be surprised.

If Kurokawa Rumiko announced that she was pregnant with Oda Shingo's child, everyone would probably immediately give her red envelopes and gifts, congratulate her and ask with a smile when the wedding would be held.

However, many people turned their eyes to Saburo Mikami.

Some people even looked at him in an ambiguous way.

It was not about Saburo Mikami personally, but about his attitude towards Shingo Oda, which really made the middle and senior management of Springfield Bookstore admire him.

As early as half a year ago, he sent his sister to Oda Nobuo.

Ever since Oda Shingo brought his female assistant to the celebration, everyone knew that one of the female assistants beside him was Saburo Mikami's biological sister.

So in the eyes of everyone, Saburo Mikami's operations can be described in one word: far-sighted!
Ahem, let me correct you, it must be by the pillow! Many people thought dirty thoughts in their hearts.

That’s Yuzu, the delicate and easy-to-pull-down female cosplayer who can perfectly play the popular female character Tornado from One Punch Man. Her figure alone can unlock many new ways to play.

This young man in his 30s really has a bright future!

After the meeting, a minister who was familiar with him asked Mikami Saburo quietly, "Hey, how is the relationship between your sister and Mr. Oda going?"

"..." Saburo Mikami was stunned by the question.

Yes, how is the relationship between my sister and Shingo going...

Maybe the next time we contact each other, you’ll suddenly ask me to be your uncle?
