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

Chapter 62: Inserting a bid to sell Seoul

"Teacher Gouda, please take a look at the character design draft for the new comic." The male assistant Xiaofu handed over the manuscript respectfully.

It was already past midnight, and Takeshi Gouda's studio was still working overtime.

The female assistant Lingzi was also leaning over the table, constantly working on the design drawings of the character costumes.

Her face also showed signs of fatigue.

"Thank you for your hard work." Takeshi Gouda took the manuscript and began to review it.

To start a comic book, you need a lot of design drafts for the plot characters. Otherwise, when drawing the storyboards in detail, the characters drawn by the main artist may easily have funny situations such as inconsistent clothing or appearance.

This is also very laborious.

But they don't know that there is a person in this world called Oda Shingo, whose character designs are engraved in his mind. As an animation director, he has read the setting collections of almost all the famous works before he traveled through time.

As for Tian Gangwu, working overtime has become the norm in order to submit a new manuscript within this week.

The problem is... there are three core members in the entire studio, and two more working part-time. The morale of the five of us in total is low!
Decentralize!

The cartoonist who was originally serializing in the main magazine "Jump" was suddenly assigned to serialize his new comics on a web site.

Everyone immediately thought of the popularity poll issue for old works.

The main issue of Qunyingsha's "Jump" has a popularity vote for each issue. The top-ranked issue will have a two-color extra page, and the lower-ranked ones will be cut in half.

This is an old work by Takeshi Gouda, and it ranked third from the bottom in popularity polls.

Although the work has already announced its ending, this position can't help but make people think about it.

He was demoted because of poor performance!
"Bullmaster Hyakki..." Gouda Takeshi murmured subconsciously.

Because he kept recalling the bloated face of the head of the Publication Department, Baigui, who had a fake smile on his face and said to him earnestly:
[Gouta-kun, web department director Saburo Mikami, praised their new contracted work, Oda Shingo's "One Punch Man" very much at the regular meeting!]
[They even disrespect the authority of the original Jump magazine and do not trust the ability of you serial cartoonists!]
[So, I have sought the opportunity to serve as a consultant for the web department, so that your new work can shine on the web!]
[I can control the S-level recommendation rights of the web department, which is the same as "One Punch Man", and give you the highest promotion support!]
[Please, Gouda-kun, defeat the "One Punch Man" that the web club is boasting about!]
[It crushes the representative works of the web department, proving the strength of the author of the regular publication! ]
Listen, what a high-expectation entrustment!
I don't believe you! You fat guy - although I am fat too - you are definitely just using me as a sword!
However, the culprit behind all this was actually the young and foolish Oda Shingo!
I dared to contradict me before, and now I’m demoted because of you!
I will take revenge for this in my new web series!

"Oda Shingo, just wait!" Gotada Takeshi gritted his teeth.
-
Japan at night is always full of temptations, like a dark vat that soaks every worker.

Although there are many opportunities in the comics industry, the competition is fierce. Every cartoonist tries his best to squeeze out a little space for survival.

Izakaya in Mode Yokocho, Shinjuku.

After Mikami Saburo told the truth about the incident, the figure of the fat man who spoke to him strangely this morning appeared in Oda Shingo's mind.

At that time, Takeshi Goda was very hostile to me and said things like "My new book will be on the same battlefield with you" and "You will experience how powerful the regular cartoonists are."

There was also a fat figure, he was the captain of the Hundred Ghosts who had a bad attitude at the headquarters of the Qun Ying Society a few days ago.

Of course, he was behind this, but he and I were not on the same front.

No wonder Gouda Takeshi had such a strange attitude towards him before, and his male assistant Suneo also mentioned it just in time. It turned out that he was demoted to the web department.

Gouda Takeshi, who was remotely demoted by Minister Hyakki, is planning to release a new comic to crush me in terms of web subscriptions?

"You know?" Minister Mikami was surprised when he heard Oda Shingo say Tian Gangwu's name.

"Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's intentional."

Their own remake of "One Punch Man" is now the most popular one on the website and is also recommended by S level. They must have been reminded of this.

For subscriptions of the same period, as long as our magazine can beat "One Punch Man", it will be considered a victory.

The web department's operating policy was rejected, so the web department director, Saburo Mikami, shared the same fate with him.

No wonder he behaved like that today and had so much work pressure.

Haha, things are getting interesting.

"I worked for Gouda Takeshi before." Oda Shingo waved his hand, "I wonder if the official publication got wind of some news and plans to use the master to beat the apprentice."

It is almost certain that Takeshi Gouda's new comic will compete with his own "One Punch Man" on the web.

The subscription results will show whether there is a problem with the operation of the web site or whether Qun Ying Society is not allocating enough resources to the web department!

But Tian Gangwu is not the master at all. You will know who is stronger.

"Shingo, although Gouda Takeshi is the cartoonist with the lowest popularity ranking in the main magazine of "Jump", he has accumulated a readership over the years, and the reader stickiness is not low, and they even have the habit of paying for reading!" Minister Mikami knocked the glass in his hand on the table.

Oda Shingo asked calmly, "How many first online orders are expected to be?"

"Although many readers may not convert to web subscriptions out of habit, it is estimated that the first order will not be less than 7,000! It is even possible that the first order will be close to 10,000!" Saburo Mikami stared at Oda Shingo with bloodshot eyes.

Minister Mikami felt that he could see a hint of panic that was difficult to conceal in Oda Shingo's reaction.

But he was wrong.

In the pub filled with the smell of alcohol, the young man did not show any timidity, instead he seemed to be very excited.

Minister Mikami was wondering why this young man was so excited?

"Is that all?" Oda Shingo couldn't help but smile.

He filled Mikami-san's glass with Daiginjo.

"Shingo, don't underestimate the manga artists in the regular publication!" Director Mikami warned, "The best first-order result of the web department in the past was only close to 5,000."

Minister Mikami is bragging shamelessly, but in fact, it's only over 3,000...

At least this shows that he hasn't drunk too much.

Oda Shingo shook his finger: "Demote a cartoonist and overwhelm me with subscriptions? This means war!"

How many cartoonists have accepted the cruel reality.

[No serialization, no money!]
[To conquer other works is better than to conquer one's own fatigue and illness!]
Japan at night does not believe in tears.

The war between cartoonists may not involve the smoke of gunpowder, but it is often filled with blood and tears.

war?
Let’s fight!

Oda Nobuo seemed to be talking to himself: "Since we just discussed the Chinese poem, please allow me to say the same thing now."

"what do you want to say?"

"It is estimated that this demoted author of this magazine will have nearly 10,000 subscriptions? Haha, if that's all..." After relaxing his body and returning to an upright sitting position, Oda Shingo leaned his hands on the table and replied proudly:
"I see that Gang Tianwu is like putting his head up for sale!"

I recommend a fan fiction of "Naruto". It has no system and the story line is novel. It is worth reading!
