God Descends the Second Element

"Long time no see, Editor Iida, please come in!"

After opening the door, Wang Hao saw a mature woman with full aura. At first glance, people knew that she was a strong woman in the workplace, but he could still see the melancholy on her brow. This person was exactly The editor in charge of him is Iida Ayano.

"excuse me."

After seeing Wang Hao, Iida Ayano showed a faint smile on her face and followed Wang Hao into Qiushui Villa.

"Every time I see the environment you live in, I suspect that I have traveled to ancient times. It's great to live here."

Ayano Iida looked at the poetic environment around him and said with a sour tone. Although it was not his first time coming to this place, he always felt a deep shock every time he came.

There is no other reason. Although Tokyo can be regarded as retaining some ancient buildings, those places have long become tourist attractions. It is impossible for anyone to live in them, and they are completely different from the style of Qiushui Villa.

If those ancient buildings retain the previous scenery for people to appreciate, then Qiushui Villa is more like a secluded paradise in the Celestial Empire. Although there are many similarities between the two, there are essential differences.

And the most important thing is that being able to have a historic courtyard with such a wide area in Tokyo, where land is at a premium, is no longer something that can be solved with money. It can be said that in Iida Ayano's eyes, Here, this courtyard is a place that even money cannot buy.

What's more, in a modern big city like Tokyo, this courtyard can give people a sense of seclusion.

Of course, the tall walls around it play a big role. You can't see the scenery in the yard from the outside. What's more, there are small walls in the yard. Last time Iida Ayano walked around a few times in person, and then she became more and more envious. Wang Hao.

Of course, Wang Hao didn't seem to hear anything and continued to move forward silently. Soon the two of them came to the living room. Ayano Iida sat on the sofa next to him and let out a long sigh: "Ah, I saw it." Here, I suddenly don’t want to go back to my apartment. It’s great to live in this environment.”

Hearing this, Wang Hao sighed lightly: "You can move in if you want. There are still many empty rooms in this house."

"real?"

"Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you? Just pay the rent on time. It's the same rent as the apartment you live in."

Wang Hao spread his hands casually. If Ayano Iida was willing, he wouldn't mind renting a room to the other party. As for the rent given, it was just a token of appreciation.

Hearing this, the expression on Ayano Iida's face became a little hesitant. She had to say that Wang Hao's conditions made her quite excited. Normally, she would not be able to rent such a yard in Tokyo. The price of a room is at least twenty times the rent of her apartment.

Among the neon houses, the most expensive ones are not villas, but these Japanese-style houses with a lot of history. Generally, people who live in such houses are rich and powerful and will not rent out the houses at all.

Not to mention a house like Wang Hao's. If Wang Hao is willing to rent it out, the rent price will definitely be astonishingly high, and there will definitely be many people willing to rent it.

But Wang Hao never thought about this idea, because he didn't want to live under the same roof with some unfamiliar people.

After hesitating for a while, Iida Ayano finally shook her head with regret and said: "Oh, forget it, I'm still planning to save money to buy a supercar. I paid for that apartment for three years. Rent, and if I accidentally break one of the antiques in your house, I’ll have to work for a few more years to pay off the debt..."

"Do I look like that?"

Wang Hao stretched out his finger and scratched his cheek in embarrassment. Iida Ayano immediately rolled her eyes at him and said: "But I don't have the habit of breaking things without paying for it. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue. Let’s talk about business, what do you think about “Dragon Ball”?”

When talking about business, Iida Ayano's expression suddenly became serious. Wang Hao was also very serious in this regard. He looked at Iida Ayano and said slowly: "I want to apologize to Editor Iida for this matter first. I am very sorry. Thank you for your trust. I may have been a little arrogant in this regard before, and I didn’t listen to your opinions. I’m really sorry!”

Having said this, Wang Hao bowed deeply to Iida to express his apology.

"Well... I am the editor in charge of you. Mutual trust between cartoonists and editors is a matter of course. And didn't you also say this now?"

Iida Ayano gave up unmoved, but the expression on her face became slightly complicated, because before she came, she never thought that Wang Hao would say these words, and thought that the other party would at most tell the next development of Dragon Ball.

Shaking his head gently, Iida Ayano was naturally happy to see such a change in Wang Hao. After sighing slightly, he asked: "It's useless to talk about it now. If you don't mind, you can Can you tell me more about the inspiration for Dragon Ball?"

"no problem."

Wang Hao nodded. He already had an answer to this question in his mind. After hesitating for a moment, he frowned and said: "The main source of inspiration for this work is "Journey to the West". As for the idea of ​​"collecting beads", it was borrowed from In the work "The Legend of the Eight Dogs", the 8 beads in the Legend of the Eight Dogs were changed to 7. Originally, I planned to develop the storyline by adapting "Journey to the West" myself..."

"etc!"

Before he finished speaking, Iida Ayano immediately stopped and said with a frown: "I understand what you mean, but if you do this, what is the difference between it and "Journey to the West"? At best, it’s just a god’s version of “Journey to the West”. It can be said that there is no difference at all from the original “Journey to the West” and it has no meaning at all!”

"It's exactly what you said. If we do this, there will be no difference between "Dragon Ball" and "Journey to the West"."

After hearing Ayano Iida's explanation, Wang Hao's eyes suddenly lit up and he breathed a sigh of relief. The other person was indeed the editor-in-chief of Shueisha.

He reached out and picked up the tea cup on the table. A small tea stem floated in the middle of the green tea in the cup. Wang Hao held the cup with both hands and took a sip of tea. He suddenly felt that his throat was much clearer again. He continued unhurriedly: "It is for this reason that I initially added modern-style clothing to the second draft. The third draft was already very similar to the current serialized "Dragon Ball". But after drawing it, I Still rejected them all.”
