God Descends the Second Element

With the death of the God of Death, and the current state of Dragon Ball that could be cut in half at any time, Shogakukan and Kodansha both became happy to see this situation.

Just this afternoon, Shueisha suddenly contacted all media and released a message on its official website. That is, the long-delayed Yoshihiro Togashi will continue to serialize "Hunter" next week. The specific time this time is still unknown. I didn’t say it, but it seemed like it would be nearly two months!

Shogakukan's attitude towards Shueisha has always been complicated. When Shueisha split, Shogakukan once suppressed it. Unfortunately, Shueisha became more and more courageous at that time, and in the end, it stabilized its position as the leader in the comics industry. Until now, they have There is competition among them.

But most of it is healthy competition. After all, Shueisha has now developed into one of the three major publishers of Neon Comics. Shogakukan and Shueisha also belong to the same origin. If there is a life-and-death fight, then the headquarters will definitely not sit idly by. .

Kodansha does not have so many scruples. If between Shogakukan and Kodansha, who is most willing to see Shueisha decline, it is undoubtedly Kodansha!

Because Kodansha owns "Weekly Shōnen Magazine", a juvenile manga magazine, which is also Neon's second largest circulation manga magazine, second only to "Weekly Shōnen Jump".

"Weekly Shonen Magazine" has been suppressed by "Weekly Shonen Jump" for such a long time, and now it finally sees hope of getting ahead. If it takes one more step forward, "Weekly Shonen Magazine" will be ranked first. I believe this will not take long.

Kodansha's cadre-level personnel are very aware of the current situation of their old rival Shueisha. There is a saying that is very good, the people who know you best are often your enemies.

Now Kodansha has "Fairy Tail" and Shogakukan has "Inuyasha". Originally, Shueisha was serializing the phenomenon comic "Bleach" which was weighing on both of their families. Unfortunately, last month they finally received good news. , that is "The God of Death" cut in half.

All the members of Kodansha were very excited when they heard the news, but unfortunately, "Dragon Ball" appeared halfway, which made them feel complicated, and they all lamented Shueisha's luck.

But the good times did not last long after all. The author of "Dragon Ball", Mr. Kamushi, was only a 16-year-old newcomer after all. Problems arose in the second week of the serialization of this comic with great potential. Seeing this situation, how could Kodansha not Happy?

Although Shueisha has now cast another trump card, "Hunter Hunter" is not worse than "Death" at all, but Yoshihiro Togashi's character is almost well known. Shueisha has now released news that Hunter Hunter will be serialized for nearly two months, but everyone We all know in our hearts that the serialization time of "Hunter Hunter" this year will definitely not be less than two months. It should be more than one month as the limit.

There is no need to make any speculations about the reasons, because judging from the situation updated by Yoshihiro Togashi in the past ten years, unless a miracle happens or Yoshihiro Togashi loses everything playing mahjong, he wants "Hunter" to be like other games. Comics are serialized normally. This may be something that exists in a dream.

Therefore, Kodansha only needs to survive for more than a month. When the "Hunter Hunter" crisis is over, the sales of "Weekly Shonen Jump" will inevitably drop horribly, and "Weekly Shonen Magazine" will be able to firmly take the lead.

Starting from this Monday, Kodansha has stepped up its efforts to recruit new people, and the same goes for Shogakukan.

In fact, both of them discovered that Shueisha was also expanding its efforts to recruit new people, so they made such a move. They didn't want to cause any more trouble.

Although the emergence of "Dragon Ball" seems to be a near miss now, it really shocked Kodansha at the beginning. I have to lament that Shueisha's luck is so strong that it is unimaginable.

If during this period of time, Shueisha really discovers another work that has the potential to become a phenomenon-level comic, by then it will be too late for them to regret it.

So now the three leading companies in the comics industry, Gieisha, Kodansha, and Shogakukan, are recruiting new people aggressively. They don’t want anyone to let anyone in, and the various welfare resources for training new people are very exaggerated.

Of course, the premise is that the work must be recognized. The work itself of the new artist who can be selected will definitely be interesting. I believe this will definitely be true.

Because the publishing houses known as the Three Heroes in the comics industry never lack high-quality works. They just want to find better works from the excellent works, or even find a work with the potential of a phenomenal comic! !

It can be said that in the recent period, the major editors of Shogakukan, Shueisha, and Kodansha have begun to rush around. Even the editor-in-chief has personally come forward to find talented cartoonists. Seeing this, other comic publishing houses have also followed suit.

I have discovered a lot of interesting works, but those works cannot be hidden from the vicious eyes of the editors of the three majors. Even after the editor-in-chief of the three majors personally read them, they can judge the ending directly from the beginning, and this process is absolutely unavoidable. Lots of routine plots!

"A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find." This sentence is the most appropriate way to summarize Shueisha's current situation.

But Wang Hao, who caused all this fierce turmoil, still didn't know about it. If he had known about it, he would have laughed three times. He didn't expect that he would achieve one of his goals in this way.

But even if he knew all this, he would only laugh happily a few times, because the fundamental problem of routines has not been solved at all. Most cartoonists have long lacked enthusiasm, and what he really wants to break is this situation. .

…

After finally interviewing the last 22-year-old office worker, Wang Hao no longer played the role of a market researcher. He interviewed a total of ten people today. He thought that if Longzhu was really cut off in half, maybe he could try it too. To be a reporter?

Wang Hao thought mockingly, with a slight curl of his lips. After this market survey, he understood a little more about people's understanding of Dragon Ball and the comic industry. Although he can't say that he has a complete understanding, he definitely understands it. Nine times out of ten.

After some research on Dragon Ball, he already had two bags full of books, including light novels and comics.

Most of them are light novels, which are some of the better works in the world. They are good choices for reference.

I raised my head and glanced at the slightly yellow sky. There were many pedestrians walking slowly on the brightly lit streets, and the scene was very lively.

Wang Hao quickened his pace slightly and headed towards the parking space of the Maybach. It was getting late, so it was time for him to go back and catch up on the production progress of "The Legend of Eastern Demons", and the manuscript of "Dragon Ball" must not be left behind...
