302 Conan is here
"Koxi, now we are discussing Teacher Qin Han's affairs. What are you talking about Teacher Aoyama?" Kuchiichiro Natsumata said with a frown.
Yumin Guangwu waved his hand: "It's okay, let Xiaoxi talk about what's going on first. If our "Weekly Boy Sunday" can produce another work of sufficient weight, then recruiting teachers Qin Han will not be so urgent and there is no need to pay an excessive price."
Konishi nodded and continued the topic just now: "Everyone knows that the reason why "Weekly Magazine" was able to achieve great success last year was that they discovered "Kanda Ichiko". This comic led the detective reasoning, a big genre of boy comics, and there were countless followers for a while. But none of them were successful. Is it because the success of "Kanda Ichiko Ichiko" is unique and insurmountable? Of course not. The reason is that there are few powerful cartoonists who follow up on creating comics of the same type."
"Unlike the Weekly Jump, which highlights the three major elements of friendship, hard work and victory, our Weekly Jump Sunday has a richer type of comics. "Kinda Ichiko Sin" has proved that mystery comics have a huge market demand. After all, we Japanese people love reasoning, otherwise why do mystery novels occupy such a large market share in the books published every year? Since there is market demand, why should we be jealous of the success of "Wechiko Sin Magazine"? Creating our own teenage mystery comics can not only seize "Kinda Ichiko Sin" and make the magazine's comics more diverse. Why not do it?"
Listening to Konishiyong talking, Yumin Mitsutake asked: "What do you mean is Aoyama's new work is also a mystery comic?"
"That's right."
"But, can it be comparable to "Kinda Ichiko's incident"?"
"If you have seen Teacher Aoyama's new production, you won't have this question." Konishi Yuu said confidently, ""Kanda Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi-Shi" is just an original work that cannot be a TV screenwriter, and a newly-debut cartoonist who has teamed up to create. Teacher Aoyama has serialized two novels in our magazine "Magic Prompt" and "City Storm" and "City Storm" and "City Storm" also won the Primary School Museum comics Award. He may not be considered the top cartoonist, but he is definitely a powerful person who cannot be underestimated!"
Yumin Guangwu was moved by Xiaoxiyong. Several other senior executives of the primary school museum also nodded.
Even Koichiro Natsumata, who had a different idea from Konishi Yuu, did not express his opposition clearly. If Takamasa Aoyama could really bring a popular comic to "Weekly Boy Sunday" that is comparable to "Kinda Ichiko's Incident", then they would not need to be so anxious when negotiating with Qin and Han Dynasties, and would be more calm.
"This is the end of today's meeting. Tomorrow morning, Xiaoxi, bring Teacher Aoyama's new manuscript, Naotasan, and call on several editorial team leaders. Everyone holds a meeting again and study Teacher Aoyama's new work. See if it can really become the Kaneda Ichi of our primary school library as Koxi said." Yumin Mitsubu finally made a decision.
Finally, when the meeting ended, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Xiaoxi, has Mr. Aoyama named his new comic?"
"It has been decided. It is called "Detective Conan". The protagonist's name is inspired by Conan Doyle, the author of "The Sherlock Holmes Collection".
At nine o'clock the next morning, the big guys from the editorial department of "Weekly Young Sunday" and vice president Yumin Mitsubu gathered in the conference room again.
They took the drawings handed over by Xiao Xiyong one by one and began to read them carefully.
Half an hour later, Himeta Kōichiro breathed a sigh of relief and put down the drawing in his hand.
Seeing the expressions shown by the editors who had read the drawings, Konishi Yuki knew his purpose and could definitely achieve it. He smiled proudly: "How about it, everyone, how about "Detective Conan"?"
"A very novel setting. Although the protagonist Shinichi Kudo is similar to Kanedachi and is also the so-called "high school detective", after being attacked by a mysterious person, his body shrank and became a primary school student. In this way, it is a clear difference from "Kindachi Bo's Event Thunder".
"The various magical props in the comics have also made the whole story readable and interesting. Moreover, when primary school students solve cases, they must use the mouths of adults, which is also a highlight. Primary school students who are harmless on the outside, but are detectives with super-IQ inside... Such a setting can easily cause dramatic conflicts. What is the saying in China? By the way, pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger! This word is very suitable for describing Conan's case handling process."
"Don't you think that the man in black and the huge criminal organization hidden behind the scenes is the stroke of the gods? In this way, the comics have a main line that runs through the whole process: defeating the mysterious organization, finding the antidote, and becoming a high school student. Reasoning works often develop the plot in the form of a unit drama. If the length is extended, it will gradually lose the desire to read. If there is a clear main line, its attractiveness to readers will be much greater."
The editors expressed their opinions and praised "Detective Conan".
Even if you are a professional editor, you cannot accurately predict whether a comic can succeed. Everyone will misunderstand it. However, if everyone here praises this comic, then the possibility of it being sold is very high.
After some discussion, Vice President Yumin Mitsutake finally made a decision: "At the next serial meeting, you will decide which comic should be cut in half in the current "Weekly Boy Sunday". The number of pages that are freed will be given to "Detective Conan"! As for Teacher Qin Han, of course we should continue to strive to let him come to "Weekly Boy Sunday". However, the conditions cannot be raised anymore, so we will discuss the current royalty of 12% and the surrounding price of 5%."
Although Koichiro Natsumata, as the editor-in-chief, was a little unwilling to accept this result, he could not find a reason to object, so he could only nod and agree.
"I hope the Weekly Youth Jump does not offer too good conditions. In this way, Teacher Qin Han still has hope to come to the primary school hall..." he thought.
Compared to Koichiro Natsumata who was a little frustrated, Konishiyuki, who won a great victory in this game, smiled vigorously all day long.
After the meeting, Konishi Yong immediately called Aoyama Takahata and told him the good news.
