001 Banned cartoonist

When Qin Han opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the soft tatami.

He struggled to sit up and found that he was not on a plane that was about to fall into the sea, but in a room about five-stack sized Heikan room surrounded by mountains of domestic waste.

"Are you reborn after the air crash?"

After rubbing his head, Qin Han found that many memories from the original owner of this body appeared in his mind.

This is a parallel world similar to the previous lives of the Qin and Han dynasties. However, the world line has changed.

Because there are no historical problems and similar cultures, Japan and China in this world have a very good relationship, and Japan is like the back garden of China.

The young man with the same name and surname possessed by the Qin and Han souls is a Japanese Chinese.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the Qin family moved to Ryukyu to avoid war, and has a history of 370 years.

Now Ryukyu has long become Okinawa, but the Qin family still inherited the tradition of Chinese people paying attention to education. Qin and Han studied hard since childhood, and even got admitted to the mechanical engineering major of the University of Tokyo, which is the pride of the whole family.

However, Qin Han didn't know what medicine he took before, and suddenly wanted to pursue his dream and become a cartoonist. For this reason, he dropped out of school from Dongda University, and even had a breakup with his family, almost severing relations.

With a smart mind and a momentum of progress and retreat, Qin Han really made some achievements in the comics industry. After serving as a comics assistant for half a year, he contributed a short story to the Golden Future Cup of "Weekly Boy JUMP", and officially debuted as a newcomer.

After another half a year of hard work, it was finally recognized at the editorial department serialization meeting and was qualified to be serialized in the comic magazine "Weekly Young JUMP".

However, the joy is sad that just after Qin Han worked for three consecutive days and was sleeping heavily, one of his comic assistants stole the serialized manuscripts and private seals and sent them to the editorial department of the comic magazine "Weekly Magazine", the second largest circulation in Japan, to contribute in the name of Qin Han.

After a series of operations, the submissions actually passed the review and were ready to be serialized on the "Weekly Youth Magazine".

However, things soon became exposed.

In order to master more author resources, the publisher has to sign an exclusive contract for cartoonists serialized in "Weekly Youth JUMP". During the contract period, cartoonists can only contribute to "Weekly Youth JUMP", otherwise it would be a serious breach of contract!

Although it means a bit overbearing, under the rich contract fee and the industry's number one name, there are still many cartoonists who are willing to sign contracts and become magical girls. Oh no, they are becoming JUMP exclusive cartoonists.

Qin Han was framed by his assistant and submitted multiple copies of one manuscript, which caused great economic losses. It not only angered Shueisha, which published "Weekly Boy JUMP", but also made Kodansha, who published "Weekly Boy Magazine", very dissatisfied.

"I'm obviously a exclusive cartoonist of JUMP, but I came to our place to contribute. Isn't this a joke?!" After receiving this news, the editor-in-chief of "Weekly Magazine" was so angry that he shouted and threw the table.

Afterwards, Qin Han's assistant disappeared, and the editor who was responsible for reviewing the manuscript of "Weekly Magazine" also resigned.

The Ichihashi Group behind Shueisha and the Yinba Group behind Kotanshe also issued a ban on Qin and Han from publishing works in any of its publications.

Qin Han was banned by two major publishing giants in Japan at the same time, and other publishers would not be willing to offend the two major publishing giants for an unknown newcomer. It can be said that Qin Han's life as a cartoonist has almost come to an end.

Falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, the Qin and Han dynasties in the past could not stand the blow and hid at home to escape reality until they died suddenly and were occupied by the soul of another world.

"From my memory, the development of this world has reached the level of the first decade of the 21st century in my previous life, but the second-dimensional entertainment industry is still at the level of the 1980s. With my previous life's insights and vision, coupled with the skills of the cartoonist left by this body, it is not difficult to become a successful cartoonist who pays over 100 million yuan in annual taxes and can live a prosperous life in the second half of my life."

Qin Han thought about it and sighed again: "It's a pity that he was actually banned by two major publishing groups..."

He wandered around the room and went to the bathroom to look in the mirror.

He has messy hair, a sloppy beard, a pale face, and his eyes are unconscious.

He looks like he is overly decadent.

What's even more terrifying is that there are only the last three Fukuzawa Yukiki (30,000 yen) left in the wallet, and the rent, water, electricity and gas fees for the next quarter will be paid.

In addition, he also had to pay compensation to Shueisha for 20 million yen.

"This situation is a bit tricky!" Qin Han rubbed his sore temples.

"What's the trick? You dropped out of college, only have a high school degree, and have a quarrel with your family. Is there any other way to go besides drawing cartoons?"

A strange voice suddenly rang out.

"Who is it?" Qin Han was startled.

"I am a 2D entertainment system, hosting deep in your consciousness. The purpose of my existence is to assist you in achieving supreme achievements in the four major fields of ACGN (animation, comics, games, and novels) in this world and becoming the god of 2D entertainment!"

Qin Han was stunned for a while and then accepted the existence of the system.

After all, these days, when you are reborn in time, you don’t bring a system. What’s the difference between you and a salted fish?

He started a life conversation with the system seriously.

"Indeed, I don't seem to have a better choice than painting comics now. But I have been banned by two major publishing groups. What should I do?"

"Although the two major publishing groups are powerful, they cannot cover up the sky with one hand. You don't need to draw commercial comics, and it is feasible to create fanatics."

The system's words seemed to open up a new world for Qin and Han.

Fanren refers to books created by individuals or groups based on their own hobbies. The subject matter is a wide range of comics, novels, material collections, picture albums, etc., and it can be entirely available. The content can be original or adapted from existing works.

Like the CLAMP and Xingyue in the previous lives of the Qin and Han dynasties, they were fan groups that successfully transformed into commercialization after becoming famous.

Qin Han was banned because he was just an unknown new cartoonist, and there was no cost to ban it. But if he made a name for himself and let the publishing house see the benefits, then someone would definitely dare to risk offending the two major publishing groups and make an appointment with him for writing.

At that time, you will be able to break the dilemma and soar into the sky!

It is late July, and there is less than a month left before the world's largest fan show, the Comic Market Summer Exhibition, which is twice a year.

Qin Han knew that he needed to hurry up.

At this time, the system also issued a task to him.

"Main mission release."

"I am the man who wants to be a fan king!"

"Task goal: Within one year, the sales of fan books on comic market will reach more than 10,000 copies, reaching the top of the fan world!"

“Task Reward: 50 Fame Points.”
