Toshio Suzuki originally thought that after welcoming Yin Jun, his mission would be accomplished. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Animage is a small monthly comic magazine, it also has several good authors, and his spirit is all about how to make the comic monthly magazine develop, so he is ready to go back to the office to continue working.

The Tokuma Group has several subsidiaries, many of which have their own dedicated office buildings elsewhere, but this does not include Animage Monthly, which is located in the headquarters building.

Unexpectedly, he sat down and was busy for a while, when someone came to look for him, saying that the president had asked him to go to the office.

When he came to Tokuma Yasukuai's office, Toshio Suzuki found that Yin Jun had not left, and after politely greeting the two, Tokuma Yasukuai beckoned him to sit down next to Yin Jun.

"That's right. Tokuma said quickly, "Suzuki-kun, Mr. Yin has an intention to cooperate, and I specially asked you to see how to implement it." ”

"Oh, what kind of cooperation?" asked Toshio Suzuki respectfully, his mind spinning rapidly.

Yin Jun wanted to cooperate with the Tokuma Group and called him over, which must be related to the aspect he was responsible for.

Toshio Suzuki is in charge of Animage manga monthly, and Yin Jun's Kirin culture is famous for making comics, so there is naturally the possibility of cooperation between the two.

But the problem is that "Kirin Weekly" is so strong that it is invincible all over Japan, and Animage Manga Monthly is just a very, very inconspicuous one of the Japanese manga publications, and the sales radius is only a very narrow place, so what can the two say about cooperation?

"I think Mr. Suzuki also knows that the nine manga of Kirin Weekly, including Resident Evil, were all storylines written by me. "These are the crystallization of my previous ideas. If this goes on for a long time, I will definitely not be able to write so many stories again, and it is impossible for Kirin Weekly to do it alone. Therefore, I want to start looking for storytellers in these countries and regions in Asia, and absorb more good stories and good comics into Kirin Weekly. ”

Toshio Suzuki nodded his head as he listened.

No one in the world doubts Yin Jun's ability to tell stories.

The story of one person who made 10 comics in one go, and all of them are such classic comics, except for Yin Jun, who else can do it?

Even Osamu Tezuka, the god of manga, can't do it.

In fact, people in the industry not only admire Yin Jun's storytelling ability, but also admire Yin Jun's ability in character setting, environmental structure, etc.

It's not easy to do these things well.

Many well-known manga artists have imperfections, such as some art styles are not very good, some story skills are insufficient, and some world views are not good...... Wait a minute.

But in Yin Jun's comics, there are no such problems.

Even the simplest "Cherry Maruko", but because of the good-looking story, people ignore the style of painting, and even feel that such a comic is suitable for such a style of painting.

However, as Yin Jun said, no matter how strong you are, you can support a comic weekly for three or five years, but you will never be able to support all of a comic weekly for ten or twenty years!

That's not a genius making comics anymore, it's completely overdrawing his own life to make comics.

Yin Jun is such a smart person, naturally he will not be so stupid, so he must think about the future.

Toshio Suzuki thought that Yin Jun had put the future of Kirin Weekly in Japan and wanted to recruit Japanese cartoonists to make comics, and his heart suddenly became solid and happy.

Unexpectedly, the world's manga gods have to rely on our Japanese manga artists!

"I understand what Mr. Yin meant. In his thoughts, Toshio Suzuki said in a good time, "There are many young people in Japan who aspire to be manga artists, and there are many geniuses in them, although they can't compare to you, but they are all very talented." If you could give them a chance, they would be happy to publish their work in Kirin Weekly, the world's most famous weekly manga magazine. ”

"If you want to do this, is there anything you need to solve here?" Yin Jun asked.

"You're right, I have some questions here. Toshio Suzuki said, "First, when and how many places can be vacated for Kirin Weekly? Second, what are the criteria for receiving articles from Kirin Weekly? What conditions are used to attract them? Third, what are the criteria for distinguishing good grades from bad grades? What are the criteria for rewarding and discontinuing serialization?...... Well, for now, on these issues. ”

"Mr. Suzuki, you really know a lot about manga. Yin Jun unconsciously praised, "I'm not mistaken, you are an excellent professional manager." ”

"You're welcome, it's my job. Toshio Suzuki said without any pride.

The boy pondered for a while, and then answered his question, "I haven't thought about it yet, because I'm not specifically responsible for operations." But since Mr. Suzuki can come up with these problems, do you have your own views on these issues? I wonder if you can write me a detailed feasibility report?"

Toshio Suzuki subconsciously looked at Tokuma Yasukuai, and found that the boss nodded lightly, so he said briskly: "Yes, it's just that my level is not very good, if there is anything inappropriate, please understand Mr. Yin." ”

"I believe in Mr. Suzuki's abilities. Yin Jun said, "But as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, you also need to collect more information from other comic publications...... I am here to provide you with 10 million yen, and I hope that Mr. Suzuki will not worry about delaying time and will do a good job of this report. ”

"Yes!"

Toshio Suzuki couldn't help but nod.

He originally thought that a young man like Yin Jun must be efficient and efficient. Unexpectedly, Yin Jun was as calm as a wise old man.

It's strange if a man like this doesn't succeed!

The 10 million yen fund is already a huge amount of money in 1980, and with such a sum of money, he must be much more comfortable.

And Toshio Suzuki also thinks a lot for himself.

For example, who spends all this money?

It's him Toshio Suzuki!

When people remember favors, they must remember him Toshio Suzuki, not Yin Jun.

It will also allow him to expand his network and lay a solid foundation for his future work.

In addition, Kirin Culture does not have a branch in Japan, and most of the selection of talents and follow-up contact will be handed over to the Tokuma Group.

Once you do a good job of the feasibility report of the investigation, then this project will definitely fall into your own hands, and then the career development is promising!

Seeing that Toshio Suzuki was a little uncontrollable excited, Yin Jun smiled and did not speak.

He won't tell Toshio Suzuki that you won't stay in the manga for long, and in two years you'll be doing animation with Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki, and the place where you really play is over there.

But it is undeniable that Toshio Suzuki's ability is outstanding, and he will definitely be able to do a good job in this report.

In fact, Yin Jun already has several excellent candidates in his hands, but there is no way to come up with them at this time.

For example, in the second half of last year, a young man named Tsukasa Hojo won the 18th Tezuka Award Admission Prize.

In the first half of this year, there will also be a young man named Katsura Masakazu who won the 19th Tezuka Award for Excellence, and in the second half of the year, one of the winners of the 20th Tezuka Award for the Admission Selection, is called Araki Hirohiko.

To be able to grasp these three excellent cartoonists in your hands is a very good achievement.

It's a pity that Tsukasa Hojo has already entered "Weekly Shonen Jump", and he still uses the pen name of Tsukasa Hojo, so if he is asked to change his pen name, he will definitely be reluctant.

And his famous work, "The Three Sisters of Cat's Eye", has already begun to be conceived.

Gui Zhenghe......

Ahem, although men like his comics, "Kirin Culture" is aimed at all ages, so he is a little unsuitable.

The last one is Araki Fei Lu Yan, but he can be recruited, because his "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" is a manga that Yin Jun has read several times, which is very interesting and very good-looking.

But this person is not in a hurry, he needs to hone it for a few more years, and it is okay to recruit it after 85 years - "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" was serialized in 87, and there is still time.

Yin Jun is now preparing to recruit cartoonists in Japan, to be precise, future great cartoonists, that is, to make a name for himself first, so that everyone knows that Kirin Weekly is also recruiting new talents.

As long as these people put their works into "Kirin Weekly", with Yin Jun's experience of reading hundreds of comics, they will definitely be able to recognize them.

It's really not good, Yin Jun simply made a comic semi-monthly magazine in Japan, as the second-tier brand of "Kirin Weekly", so that those cartoonists who have not yet become famous can hone here first.

As long as the conditions are good and there is the fame of "Kirin Weekly", I believe that many new comics are willing to throw themselves into the net.

Once their grades are good, or their excellent works come out, they can immediately transfer to Kirin Weekly.

This method is what the three major comic weeklies will often do in the future, and if the results are not good, then you can also transfer to the semi-monthly and monthly magazines of second-tier brands.

To make this semi-monthly comic magazine, of course, it is not something that can be done with just a mouth, which requires a lot of market research and preparation.

Fortunately, there are talents like Toshio Suzuki who can be used, and fortunately, a group of masters who will occupy the world of Japanese comics in the future, except for Akira Toriyama and Rumiko Takahashi, basically have not yet appeared.

The time left for Yin Jun is very sufficient.
