367 Dream Jobs
Hamaguchi Hiroshima just finished speaking, someone pushed open the door of the tea room and shouted: "Hamguchi, the editor-in-chief Torishima is looking for you."
"Haha, I'm right."
"Hamkou, it seems that you are the editor-in-chief of Teacher Qin Han."
"Go to have a drink tonight and everyone will celebrate."
Hiroshi Hamaguchi didn't dare to be as optimistic as his colleagues. He came to the editor-in-chief's office with a nervous mood and saw the legendary editor in everyone's eyes, Kazuhiko Torishima, sitting in front of the computer, busy.
"Editor, is there anything you need to ask me?"
Kazuhiko Torishima focused on dealing with the things in front of him, and didn't even raise his head: "Oh, Hamaguchi, you are here. Tell you, you will be the editor-in-chief of Teacher Qin Han from now on. You can prepare later, and I will take you to visit and recognize the door."
Hiroshi Hamaguchi didn't expect that the matter was really hit by his colleagues.
He asked with a look of surprise: "Editor, why did you choose me for...?"
"Because you have the ability and have enough qualifications, and you don't have much work at hand. After Tokuo Takahashi left, you are the most suitable candidate."
"But Chief Editor, I used to be the editor-in-chief of Ryuzo Toshima..."
Torishima Kazuhiko smiled slightly: "I know what you are thinking, Hamaguchi. Don't worry, Teacher Qin Han won't mind this kind of thing. Torishima Ryuzo is Torishima Ryuzozo. You are you, how can you confuse it? We are just the editors of the cartoonist, not the parents of the cartoonist. Do you have to bear the mistakes made by the cartoonist for the rest of your life?"
After saying that, Torishima and Hikari paused and asked again: "So, Hamaguchi, are you willing to accept this task? Or, like Takahashi, you are not prepared to accept the arrangements of the editorial department?"
Hiroto Hamaguchi suddenly felt that the editor seemed to be emitting a cold feeling. The other party was probably overwhelmed by the previous incident of Tokuo Takahashi. If he refused, he would probably not have a good ending.
Moreover, Hiroshi Hamaguchi didn't want to refuse.
It is definitely his dream to be able to be the editor of a famous cartoonist and be able to witness the birth of an excellent cartoon with his own eyes.
Hiroshi Hamaguchi has had enough of this working state now, which is like a dead fish without any hope or passion.
"Yes, Chief Editor, I do." Hamaguchi nodded fiercely.
"very good."
Kazuhiko Torishima looked at his watch and said, "Let's go, let's go to Teacher Qin Han's house together. His "Midfield Core" has passed the serial meeting long ago, but it has been delayed for various reasons. The first issue of JUMP in November must be published!"
Last week, a new comic was serialized in "Weekly Boy Sunday", called "Detective Conan".
Originally, everyone in the JUMP editorial department thought that this was just another teenager mystery comic that followed the trend of "Kinda Ichiko's Incident".
After all, before his author, Takamasa Aoyama, he was a second-rate cartoonist, with mediocre strength and no representative work that could really be produced.
Who knew that "Detective Conan" was well received with its novel and interesting story and character settings, which made the sales of the current "Weekly Boy Sunday" increase by more than 10%.
Although the fledgling "Detective Conan" is not as popular as the "Kinda Ichiko's Boy" now, it's hard to explain it clearly after a while.
Japan's mystery comics market is very large, and they can completely accommodate two equally excellent works. However, it is still unknown who can defeat the opponent and win in the battle.
"Weekly Junior JUMP" cannot produce a sufficiently excellent mystery comic for the time being, competing with "Detective Conan" and "Kanda Ichiko's Event Book". However, if a sports comic that can be released that is comparable to or even better than "Baseball Heroes", it can also help the magazine increase sales.
Since "Thunder Swordsman", it has been more than two years since "Weekly Boy JUMP" that a phenomenal comic has not been born.
The entire editorial department, even Shueisha, is hoping that someone will emerge and stop the current decline of JUMP.
Kazuhiko Toshima drove with Hiroshi Hamaguchi to the high-rise apartment where Qin Han lived in Minatoi.
As they passed by the hall, Torishima Kazuhiko nodded to the security guard.
The security guard also greeted, "Hello, hello."
Torishima and Hikari have been here many times, and they have become familiar. He pointed to Hamaguchi next to him: "This is Hamaguchi, and he will be the editor-in-chief of Teacher Qin Han in the future and will come here on my behalf."
"Ah, I understand. I will notify the people in the team and I will not ask this Mr. Hamaguchi every time in the future."
When I arrived at the dedicated visitor elevator, Kazuhiko Torishima entered the door number and confirmed the phone with Qin Han. The elevator door slowly opened.
"Editor Chief, it's worthy of being a high-end apartment. The security here is really strict." Hamaguchi said with an exaggerated look on his face.
"Remember these steps, otherwise you won't even find the door of Teacher Qin Han's house." Kazuhiko Torishima said, "Teacher Qin Han is not only a cartoonist, but also runs a company. Now he is a celebrity. It's understandable to pay attention to security and privacy."
The elevator starts to run.
I don’t know whether the impact of acceleration or other reasons, Hamaguchi always feels a little uneasy.
"Editor Chief, Teacher Qin Han really won't mind. Have I ever been the editor-in-chief of Ryuzo Toyoshima before?"
"Don't worry, based on my understanding of him, I don't know." Kazuhiko Torishima said.
If it were more than a year ago, Qin Han, who had not experienced the setback of banning, might have minded the past of Hamaguchi. But now, Kazuhiko Torishima knew that the young man had long become mature, steady, inspiring, and reached the level of human educating.
When they arrived at Qin Han’s house, they met in the living room.
"Qin Han, this person is from Hiroshi Hamaguchi. He will be your editor in charge in the future."
"Hamkou, this is Teacher Qin Han."
After Kazuhiko Toshima gave a brief introduction, Hiroto Hamaguchi quickly stood up and bowed: "Teacher Qin Han, please give me some advice in the future."
Qin Han also smiled and stood up and returned a greeting: "Don't be so grand. In the future, I'll ask you for the comic "Midfield Core"."
Seeing that Qin Han was kind and did not look like he was in a grudge, people felt relieved. At the same time, he also made up his mind to devote his twelve points of effort to work so that the comic "Midfield Core" could shine.
"Because the candidate for the editor has not been decided, the delay problem has been delayed. Teacher Qin Han's original manuscript has been stored for a long time. It's been a long time. How do you see first?"
"Is it really OK?" Hamaguchi was a little excited.
The original manuscript of "Midfield Core" so far, besides Hojo Ji, are the editor-in-chief Kazuhiko Torishima, as well as two deputy editors, and the leader of the editorial group.
