I have a lot of achievements

Chapter 307

Shueisha is in Chiyoda District, Kodansha is in Bunkyo District, the two districts are connected, Bunkyo District is in the north, Chiyoda District is in the south, and the distance between the two is not far.

After Meng Fan came out, Hetian Honger was already waiting here. After all, it had been more than an hour, and Hetian Honger had already arrived at the place he was going to and asked the driver to return here.

Eating was a bit of a hassle, and Hetian Honger was very happy to see Meng Fan's refusal, but the driver must be kept by Meng Fan.

After the driver sent Meng Fan to the entrance of the Kodansha, he was happy to hear that Meng Fan didn't come to pick him up, but he was also curious.

After all, he is the driver of Toei Animation, so he can be regarded as a person in the animation circle. He is more informed about the news of the animation circle than some practitioners.

This Chinese person is a bit interesting, I just got a recommendation letter from Oda God to enter Shueisha, and I stayed there for more than an hour. It is said that there must be something wrong with staying there for so long, but why did I still go to Kodansha after I came out? Oh, what's the situation? Do you cast your nets all over the place with one draft, tsk tsk tsk, this is going to catch a big fish, you have a really big heart.

The driver thought about it, Meng Fan didn't leave immediately after getting out of the car, and then saw a little old man trotting out of the Kodansha.

"Takahashi Goro!"

The driver immediately recognized this little old man who had been in the industry for many years and was quite famous.

Speaking of Takahashi Goro, there is also a nickname in the industry - the king of leaks. He once picked up many cartoonists from Shueisha and Shogakukan who were almost killed by serialization. Over the years, the cartoonists "picked up" became popular. There were three or four people who got up, and dozens of people who were on fire.

This Takahashi Goro's status in Kodansha is not low, which is equivalent to the existence of a mascot. For other publishing houses, Takahashi Goro is a big indicator, but whoever hears that who is in the recommended position Many cartoonists were targeted by Takahashi Goro, and he immediately increased his attention, so that he also caught many cartoonists who were dying, and there were a lot of interesting and good talks.

Therefore, Takahashi Goro has a good reputation and a high status in the circle of cartoonists, especially for some cartoonists who are recommended, they can't wait to be targeted by Takahashi Goro, and even for a while, There are also cartoonists who pay to "bribe" Takahashi Goro.

"Could it be that this Chinese man is also being targeted by Takahashi-san? It's just that it doesn't look like it. Why do you feel that Takahashi-san respects this Chinese man!"

The driver was curious, thought for a while, and naturally called to inform Hetian Honger of the matter. Hetian Honger was stunned when he heard it, and felt that the matter was a bit interesting, but he didn't let the driver stare at it, so he just took it for fun It is impossible to tell the Shueisha side, just curious about where the Chinese people will go in the end.

"Meng Sang, please!"

Takahashi Goro happily led Meng Fan into the Kodansha. After walking around for a while, seeing that Meng Fan had something to say, he hurriedly brought Meng Fan to his office and gave him a cup of coffee.

"Thank you."

Meng Fan took a sip of his coffee, saw the little old man standing beside him with a half-bow, and quickly asked him to sit down, then took out his sketches, outline, and gallery booklet from his bag, and handed them to Gao Qiao Goro said, "Takahashi-san, my visit this time is related to this manga, please read it for me first."

"it is good."

After Takahashi Goro took it, he looked at it seriously, and he quickly showed the same astonishing expression as Muto Kentaro. The difference is that Muto Kentaro hid it, while Takahashi Goro released it, and said He also marveled without hesitation: "Si Guoyi! Meng Sang, did you draw this? The painting skills are really amazing, this is super S-level painting skills! The painting style is also super good!"

After reading another page, Takahashi Goro's expression became extremely serious.

"Screenshot!"

"What an amazing storyboard!"

For a cartoonist, drawing skills are of course very important, but there is no shortage of cartoonists in this world who have superb drawing skills but no one reads their cartoons. In addition to the storyline, there is another very important determining factor, that is Storyboarding ability!

No matter how good the story is, no matter how good the drawing skills are, if there is no good storyboarding ability, the quality of a comic will be greatly reduced.

What is the mirror ability?
That's how to tell your story well, and get the audience to see it and watch it!

The ability to split the mirror is too important, otherwise, no matter how good the drawing skills are, it will be an illustration, and no matter how good the story is, it will be a bunch of dead things!
What Takahashi Goro sees before his eyes is the super powerful splitting ability, which is concise, powerful, smooth and full of imagination. Between each picture and the next picture, Takahashi Goro can always use his magical splitting ability to An animation-like picture was formed in my mind. This power of advancing and pushing the world is so ingenious and magical!
What surprised Takahashi Goro the most was that he did not find any shadow of a well-known manga artist in the drawing skills, style and storyboard features of the manga in front of him.

Goro Takahashi also watched for a long time, but not as long as Kentaro Muto. After about 40 minutes, he turned his eyes from the comics, outline and gallery to Meng Fan, and asked with burning eyes: "Meng Sang, Where is your comic going to be serialized?"

Without waiting for Meng Fan to answer, he immediately said, "If Meng Sang trusts me and I take over as its responsible editor, I guarantee that it will be serialized in "Weekly Shonen Magazine"!"

"Weekly Shonen Magazine" is the manga with the largest circulation under Kodansha, and it is also one of Neon's three major juvenile manga magazines, second only to "Weekly Shonen Jump" and higher than "Weekly Shonen Sunday".

Takahashi Goro directly gave such a condition. In addition to seeing the quality and potential of this comic, another important reason is naturally to repay his kindness.

Although the circulation of "Weekly Shonen M" is not as good as that of "Weekly Shonen J", and the serialization slots are not as tense and scarce as in "Weekly Shonen J", they are still very scarce, and there are still many cartoonists waiting for serialization slots!
Kentaro Muto also thinks that the manga "Mountain and Sea Strange Man" can be published in the weekly magazine Shonen, but it is only an approval, not that it is definitely possible or will be published, even if it can be published, it will have to wait for the serialization position, even if it is recommended by Oda-san It was just for Wu Teng to meet Meng Fan in advance and negotiate terms with him.

Of course, if Oda took Meng Fan there instead of giving a letter of recommendation, the result would definitely be different.

But when he came to Takahashi Goro, Meng Fan was treated completely differently.

Takahashi was grateful for Meng Fan's life-saving grace, admired his quality, and was impressed by his charm. In addition to the high quality of this manga, he was naturally willing and willing to work hard for Meng Fan, even at the expense of it. Self-interest, mobilization of people and other resources, help Meng Fan hard!

As for factors such as Meng Fan being from China, they were completely out of his consideration.

Hearing this, Meng Fan smiled gratefully at Goro Takahashi, and then cut straight to the point and said his request directly: "Takahashi-san, please listen to me finish the following, and then you can make a decision."

"To be honest, my visit to Neon is related to this manga. I originally went to Shueisha, and I got a letter of recommendation from Oda-san. However, Shueisha did not approve of my request. For your My request is the same, I want to sign a cooperation contract to authorize all the copyrights of the comics in Neon to your company, including comic serialization, web serialization, booklet publishing, peripheral product development, etc. "

"As for the copyright of the animation, I am also happy to hand it over to your company for operation. Although it will be a long time later, I still want to declare in advance that the animation production hopes to have the participation of the Huaxia team..."

"Cooperation contract?"

Goro Takahashi frowned when he heard the words, and then smiled wryly: "Meng Sang, you're embarrassing me like this! If it's an exclusive appointment, I can get the best treatment for you on other conditions. No? If it’s an exclusive appointment, even if I risk my life, I won’t be able to get you to be featured in Weekly Shonen Magazine!”

Hearing this, Meng Fan also knew that Takahashi Goro was telling the truth, so he sighed, as expected, he was too ideal, and then asked, "If it's not Weekly Shonen, what about other magazines?"

"It's a pity for other magazines! Meng Sang... hey, forget it, I also know that if you are willing to agree to an exclusive appointment, you must sign with Shueisha." Takahashi Goro said, "Other comics If so, there are also comics for the cooperation contract, so it won't be a big problem. Meng Sang, do you have any other requirements? If so, please tell me first. I will bring your works and requirements to the meeting. Discuss it above. If it feels appropriate, I will take you to discuss it in detail. What do you think?"

Meng Fan nodded, and said the demands he had thought up one by one. Goro Takahashi wrote them down while listening, and raised his head from time to time to ask a few questions in doubt.

After Meng Fan finished speaking, Goro Takahashi looked at the requests he had recorded, and felt a sigh in his heart. If it was someone else, he would have turned the table a long time ago.

Even if the comics are good, Neon is a society that is very particular about hierarchy and has many rules.

"Meng Sang, please wait a moment."

Takahashi Goro went out, dared to go out with these requirements, in addition to good manga works and he had to go all out, there was another very important condition.

Kodansha was the first to enter the Chinese market among the three heroes of manga, and it was also the first to cooperate with Huaxia. Especially in recent years, after the growth of the Chinese manga market and the formalization of copyrights, cooperation has become more frequent. A branch office was established.

This is the first foreign branch of Kodansha, and also the first wholly-owned company of Neon Publishing Industry in China.

The exchanges and cooperation between Kodansha and the Chinese publishing industry, as well as the copyright trade, have developed very rapidly in recent years.

If there was no reason for this, Takahashi Goro would have persuaded Meng Fan to amend some of the requirements before going, so let's talk about it now.

Takahashi Goro is indeed willing and willing to help Meng Fan!
