Full-time cartoonist

Chapter 94 Peak and Decline

"This is a natural thing. Being touched at a certain moment cannot be achieved by studying all the time."

Araki said that he only understood the shocking beauty of the statue by chance. Hibiki Higashino was still young and should not be anxious.

Dong Yexiang was stunned and nodded.

He's definitely been a little off lately.

"I've been reading your comics." Araki said, "Are you a little eager for quick success?"

"In order to get Xiaozheng's first place, the content of the plot was compressed."

"I think it would be better to expand the latest chapter, so I only drew 25 pages of the original manuscript. I can completely draw 4 to 6 chapters. Add the reactions of other characters, slowly unfold the plot, and gradually increase the atmosphere."

"This was your previous style."

Dongye Xiang nodded, he understood, but he wanted to get first place too much.

This is the only opportunity. If you don't get it, the old man will sigh with regret when he wakes up from his dream.

"Looking at it now, readers really like this kind of plot. It is hearty and hearty, and you can see the result in one breath." Araki said unhurriedly, "But the rhythm of the story is different from the previous one. A few parts Readers, plus people reading stand-alone books, will find it awkward.”

"The last chapter of Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball Z" is not the battle plot that readers are most fond of. It is a farewell, the finale of more than ten years of companionship. Achievements are not the most important thing, Bird Akino-kun.”

He said no more, patted Hibiki Higashikata's shoulder and walked towards his seat.

Higashino Hibiki stood there until the staff came to ask, then apologized and sat next to Yamamura Morimichi.

"Hoo~"

He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling different.

The old-timer did have something, and he learned a lot.

Then he nodded to Yamamura Morido.

The way the other party looked at him was a little strange.

"I admit, you are stronger now."

"The Sun Murder Incident" ranked sixth in this newspaper's ranking. He saw the cruelty of jump.

Countless people dream of serialization.

A very small number of them were qualified for serialization, but they were quickly cut in half.

Here, excellence is the norm. In other words, the adjective "excellent" is not enough.

As a large platform read by 6.5 million people, if you want to stabilize the ranking, you have to suffer from bald hair and exhaustion to avoid being left behind.

After understanding this, he realized that the young man in front of him was really powerful.

Worthy of admiration.

The look in Yamamura's eyes made Higashino shudder.

It was very similar to the way Akimiya Akemi looked at him before.

With adoration and regret.

"The next one is the author of the serialization of "The Soul of the Game", Mr. Tori Akino Mirai. His work has been serialized for 76 chapters, and he recently won the first place in Xiaozheng. As the youngest cartoonist in Jump, he has always been very reliable .”

Sasaki said.

Nobuhiko Horie was on the side, looking at the young man walking over with a smile.

I finally agreed with Sasaki’s words, “He can become the backbone of Jump.”

When the competition was fiercest, he got first place, which shows his ability.

"Soul of Chess" is becoming more and more popular as it is serialized.

From a stable ranking at the beginning, to an intermediate score of 6-9, then to the first place under "Dragon Ball", and now finally reached the first place.

Nobuhiko Horie held up the trophy and handed it to Hibiki Higashino with both hands, ""Spirit of the Game" is an excellent work and the pride of Jump. It's really hard work for me to continue serializing it."

Higashikata took it with both hands and thanked him.

Nobuhiko Horie continued: "The advantage of "Spirit of the Game" is that the scenes of chess playing are also interesting. But it would be better if the use of words can be reduced."

Higashino Hibiki understands Nobuhiko Horie's belief.

That is, the most important thing about comics is drawing, and the fewer words, the better.

In the future, he went to China to participate in the Mobai Comic Contest. The requirement was that there should be no text or dialogue, and only one-frame cartoons should be used.

Higashikata knew this, but had no idea what to do.

He himself has not yet reached the level where he can immerse and shock readers just by relying on the expression and tension of the camera.

You must use inner monologue and narration to tell readers the excitement of the plot.

"Yes, I understand." Higashikata replied.

After all, there will be a bonus of two million yen later, so let’s follow him first.

Today, there are many cartoonists on stage.

Nobuhiro Watsuki from "Rurouni Kenshin\

,"Araki Hirohiko of "jojo\

,"Umezawa Shunpei from "The Arrival of the Son\

,"…

Yoichi Takahashi of "Soccer Boys World Youth\

,"And the last evergreen tree, Akimotoji.

"Weekly Shonen Jump" is still full of talents and strong ones.

Today's event, with the participation of countless people and the flashing spotlights, shows that jump is still the same jump as before!

Here comes the second week.

When Sasaki was at work, he passed by a supermarket.

Several high school students walked over.

One child said: "Let's buy a copy of Jump by the way."

His friend waved his hand, "Forget it, after all, "Dragon Ball" is over."

"Yeah, it feels like it's not interesting anymore."

They didn't stop and walked towards the school laughing.

Sasaki stopped, his expression serious.

"this……"

He has been mentally prepared, but now it seems to be more serious than he thought before!

"Dragon Ball", which began serialization in 1984, has become a weekly reading habit for many people.

They buy jump just for "Dragon Ball".

And now, "Dragon Ball" is over.

The big crisis of jump! It's almost there!

This cannot be replaced by other works currently being serialized!

"The only person who can save jump is Yoshihiro Togashi!"

On Wednesday, as soon as he opened the jump door, Sasaki heard these words.

His subordinates handed him reports and roughly calculated the sales volume on Monday.

Sasaki's eyes were fixed in disbelief.

"It actually reduced sales by 100,000!"

It's only one day!

The losses were so severe.

If this development continues, the sales volume of 6.5 million may be directly cut in half!

No, or rather, it will fall by 3 million!

"Japan's population is aging more and more, and there are fewer and fewer newborns," he murmured, "so the fresh blood from Jump cannot make up for the loss at all."

"Dragon Ball has been the glue that has kept it strong in the past few years, preventing readers from abandoning Jump."

"So now, the catastrophe has arrived!"

He looked at his confused colleagues. Perhaps they had not anticipated the grim future.

Torishima Kazuhiko couldn't sit still and paced back and forth in the editorial office.

My mind is about to explode, I can only imagine the accountability from the upper management of Shueisha.

He experienced the peak of jump, and he was not immune to the knot.

Not long after, the phone on the work desk rang.

It was his superior, Torishima Kazuhiko, who came calling.

"Please come to the chairman's office," Torishima Kazuhiko said in a serious tone, "please hurry up."

Thanks to the 2000 point reward from QAQ for the account of Haoohmiao.
