I run a bank in Tokyo

Chapter 295

Edogawa District.

Jin Qingjuro specially sent clothes and electric heaters to Nana Min Hashimoto.

Although it was windy and snowy last night, it was only cold outside, and the temperature inside the house was still within an acceptable range.

Today is also fine during the day, the weather is fine, the sun is shining, and the temperature is acceptable.

But at night, the temperature dropped sharply, and almost all places with water were frozen, including tree branches, water vapor on windows, etc. Some branches were even frozen to death and fell!
Not to mention the ground, the place where the snow water has not evaporated completely turns into ice, and people have to be careful when walking on it, let alone driving.

He delivered things this time by tram.

First of all, I don't want to be too high-profile, there are only a handful of vehicles on the street, and after delivering the things, I have to take Qianxue for a stroll and get to know the people in Fujin, so it is not convenient to drive.

This kind of weather is just right for Shimizuki, with ice cream in her hand.

Judging from her abilities, she was undoubtedly the Snow Maiden.

In order to avoid being called "child abuse", Shinseijuro put a down jacket on her.Otherwise, according to her own wishes, just wear a thin sweater.

Instead of introducing her to Nana Min Hashimoto, he asked her to wait in a coffee shop that was open, and took her to Takeshiba Wharf after delivering the goods.

The shop is not open.

The weather tonight is not suitable for business. If you walk on the ground wearing cotton shoes for a long time, the soles of your feet will be cold, and no one wants to go out.

On the surface of the sea near the pier, fine ice crystals floated one after another, and ice floes had already appeared in some places.

This shows how low the temperature is tonight.

However, it has little effect on Paul.

Its body shape has not changed much, but its color is a little darker than before, and its eyes have become more agile.

"Her name is Shini Chiyuki, my adopted Yukiko." Shin Seijuro introduced to both parties, "Qiyuki, this is Paul, this is Fukin, this is Pinocchio, and this is Randolph."

"I want a surname too, can I call it Shin Paulo?" Paul said to Shin Seijuro suddenly after stretching out his arm to say hello to Jin Qianxue.

Because he often chats with Fu Jin and Randolph, his IQ is getting higher and higher.

"Tachibana Paul." Shinsei Juro said after a moment of silence.

It inherits the blood of Naoto Tachibana.

"Orange Paul, orange Paul..." Paul danced excitedly after saying it a few times.

After diving into the water, I got a pearl as big as a baby's fist from somewhere and gave it to Jin Qianxue as a meeting gift.

The whole body of the pearl is elegant pure white, crystal clear, soft and lustrous, which can be called flawless.

"You have a lot of good things!" Shin Seijuro couldn't help laughing and teasing it.

"Do you want it?" Paul asked flatteringly.

The IQ is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more things to learn.

"I don't want it, but you can discuss this business with Fukin and the others." Jin Qingjuro said.

There are many treasures in the sea, not just seafood.

In the sea, Paul has unique conditions that he can't even match.

"That's right!" Fu Jin couldn't wait to answer.

Perhaps it is due to the crow's nature, or maybe its super high IQ is useless, it is particularly interested in making money.

And Paul hit it off.

Paul's money is mainly used to buy all kinds of beef and mutton, as well as some favorite toys.I don't know if it inherited Tachibana Naoto's blood, but it likes jewelry very much. Tachibana Tachibana liked all kinds of luxury goods before his life.

Shin Seijuro let Shin Chiyuki taste the food in the store.

However, she doesn't have a big cold, and still has a soft spot for ice cream.

The haunted house was also fostered here, and Paul took care of it and fed the blood food. Now it has become the size of a 40-square-meter house, but it can be used to store things.

However, Jin Qingjuro has high expectations for it, and it is good for holding things, especially for living things.Although Tiqi's shadow space can also hold living things, but the time can't be long, so he will cultivate the treacherous house.

I am quite satisfied with the growth rate of the treacherous house. After all, it is only a few months, and it is not realistic to eat a fat man with one bite.

Continue to nurture.

Stay here for half an hour, and then return home.

Draw comics and explore your own ability to read.

Weave soul equipment.

That's all for today's work.

The next day, I met Nakayama Yuichi.

Discuss matters related to comics.

Generally speaking, comics are completed in consultation with cartoonists and editors.Mainly cartoonists, the editor will put forward some opinions based on his own experience, such as setting a certain character like this would be better, and what kind of lines are more likely to be recognized by readers, etc.

However, Shinseijuro is a type that Yuichi Nakayama has never seen since he started his career!
He is obviously a newcomer who has just debuted, only 20 years old... 21 years old this year, but he is very sophisticated in terms of painting skills, lines, character creation, etc., which makes him feel that his editor is simply superfluous.

Shinsei Juro's painting skills in "Naruto" may seem simple, but they are widely praised by the outside world.

The most basic sketching skills involve geometry, anatomy, and profound photography knowledge, and take into account the position of the light source, and perform different shadow calculations for plan views and side views, and are perfect for parallel light sources and radiant light sources The ground depiction, the third perspective drawing method learned from the film storyboard, the fisheye perspective drawing method... No wonder until now some people doubt whether these two works were created by him himself.

There are even professors from the University of Fine Arts recommending his works to students, because "although the picture is simple, the perspective and human body are very accurate, and it is the most suitable textbook for art students."

Many seniors in the comics industry also praised his painting skills.

"The storyboard and perspective that challenge the limit of manga, so cool!"

"Each unique character has extremely smooth movements, as if they have been given a real body, and such a picture can be seen every week, which is great!"

Just one "Naruto" is already called a genius, not to mention that he also drew "Death Note", an equally popular work.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yuichi Zhongshan would have wondered if there was a team behind him.

Words of praise are exhortations.

Maybe a genius is a maverick. Others have to work hard to paint a work and don't think about food and drink every day. It's better for him. He paints two works at the same time and still has time to go out and relax!
Although the manuscript has been drawn up in advance, there is no need to worry about it being interrupted, but the editorial department cannot bear such a stimulus.

What if something happens to him during the trip?
Since the beginning of this year, "Naruto" and "Death Note" have officially become the flagship works of Shueisha. It cannot be said that they occupy the top two, but at least they have not fallen out of the top three!

Occasionally, one or two amazing works will emerge, but they are often only short-lived. They may suddenly rise to the top in a certain week, and then disappear a few weeks later.

Only "Naruto" and "Death Note" firmly occupy two of the top three seats!

In the long run, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first and second!
After the animation was broadcast, the effect was also very good, and the sales of the booklet skyrocketed.

Last year, the average volume sales of both works exceeded 20.Among them, "Naruto" has been released to volume 9, with sales of more than 180 million; "Death Note" has 5 volumes, with sales of more than 100 million.

A manga can be regarded as a best-selling work if it reaches 5 volumes; if it reaches 10 volumes, it is a popular work; if it reaches 20 volumes, it is a popular work; Hit, monster, phenomenon level, newcomers should not think so much in the first year.

The price of the rearranged and bound booklet is 450 yen. If the quantity is large, the unit price will be low. Based on the 10% royalty, his income per book is 45 yen.In other words, his income last year exceeded 1.26 million yen for the single book alone.

Including animation copyrights, royalties, etc., the net income has steadily exceeded 1.5 million yen.

Taxes in Tokyo are relatively high!
However, this is also because he is only in the first year, and his income will definitely double this year, even more than ten times!
Not only high quality, but also high efficiency!

Moreover, many of his copyrights have not yet been licensed, such as a large number of peripheral products, figures, games, etc.

Because of its tight plot and fast pace, "Death Note" has already had film companies come to discuss matters related to adapting it into a movie.

But the problem is that Shueisha can't contact him either.

As his responsible editor, how could Yuichi Zhongshan not get angry?

This meeting is not so much a "persuasion", but a request to him to bring his mobile phone with him when he travels and keep in touch at any time.

I dare not expect him to stay at home honestly, perhaps it is precisely because of his character that he has shaped his talent.

But at least you can find someone, right?
Worried about it, I nagged him for hours.

Jinqing Juro agreed readily, but felt helpless in his heart.

What can he do if there is no signal in other worlds?
Then there will be a film adaptation of "Death Note".

Under normal circumstances, the publisher negotiates with the production company, and when the negotiations are almost complete, the author is asked to sign a contract and pay a royalties for the use of the original work.

However, because Shinseijuro is already the mainstay of Shueisha, and it is likely to be the mainstay for the next 10 years, so instead of treating ordinary cartoonists, Nakayama Yuichi personally approached him to discuss.

However, this cooperation method has not changed much. After all, he is only a rookie who has debuted for less than a year. At most, he will pay a little more for the original work, 1 million yen.

After that, no matter how much the box office of the movie is, it has nothing to do with him.

The royalties for adapting many popular works into movies are around 100 million or 200 million yen. Giving him 500 million yen is already very face-saving.

Because it was the first time it was adapted into a movie, and it was only a one-time fee, he didn't care about it.

Although the popularity is now there, but the popularity is too weak, the foundation has not been consolidated, and the status is still low, so it is useless for him to care about it.

Now that there is no shortage of money, I am too lazy to ask for trouble.

Seeing that he readily agreed, Zhongshan Yuichi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

The mind of this kind of genius is really elusive. It is very likely that the profits of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of yen are willing to give up, just for the sake of breathing, or they may not care about it at all.

The cooperation with Shinseijuro has always been very pleasant. He didn't want to create a estrangement because of this. He originally prepared a lot of persuasive words, but now he doesn't need them.

It's just that the meal cost of more than 50 yen is a bit distressing.

Then he returned to the editorial department with another new work by Jin Qingjuro.

"Tokyo Ghoul" is a dark work that you can tell from its name. It is even darker than "Death Note" and is an extremely depressing work.

Browsed briefly while eating.

Although it is only the beginning, I have to say that his painting skills and ideas are still as good as ever.What's rare is that it is another style. I really don't know how his brain grows!

I am too lazy to ask him if he has the ability to draw 3 works at the same time.

If he didn't have this ability, how did he get the manuscript in his hand?

After returning home, I showed it to the editor-in-chief, who could only sigh in silence.

A genius is a genius after all!
……

A few days later.

Takeshiba Pier.

A nondescript black car pulls into a nearby parking lot.

Not long after, a middle-aged man came over.

Although he had a domineering and fierce aura, he put on a refined appearance. After arriving here, he even tidied up the casual suit on his body.

Tanakabe.

After careful inquiry, he finally found out that there is a mysterious shop at Takeshiba Wharf, and the mysterious person behind Yuichi Okamoto is one of them.

It is only until today that I know that Zhuzhi Wharf has become a private domain!

He was stopped.

Those consortiums and politicians naturally don't want others to share the resources, and they don't even want anyone to know, and the owner of the shop obviously doesn't want to be disturbed, so they take the initiative to circle the periphery and send security guards on duty in turn.

"This is private property, no entry allowed!" The person on duty today was a member of the Furukawa family. After spotting him, they immediately stopped him.

The security guards on duty are all talents who have practiced the six styles, and they are not afraid of ordinary force at all.

What's more, there is a consortium standing behind it, and it's not a consortium. As long as the people in the shop are not blocked outside, no one is afraid of the rest!
"I'm looking for an unnamed shop." Tanakabe did not get angry, but replied patiently.

I swear in my heart, I don't know if the shop has no name, or it has such a tacky name.

"Who invited you here?" The security guard narrowed his eyes, looked at him, and asked.

"It's still a membership system!" Tanakabe thought, and replied: "Mr. Pinocchio." According to the information he found, the mysterious person's name was "Pinocchio".

The security guard naturally knew about Pinocchio, but the man answered with a guilty look, as if he really knew Mr. Pinocchio.

But what if?
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Wait!"

"Okay! Please tell me that you are a friend of Yuichi Okamoto." Tanakabe said hastily, his eyes lit up.

There really is such a person!

The information he obtained was not detailed enough. He only knew that there was such a person, but he didn't know what he looked like or whether he was a man or a woman.

The security guard nodded slightly and called the store.

"Looking for me?" It was Pinocchio who answered the phone.

Fokkin was in charge of the brains, Randolph was in charge of the trade, and he usually answered the phones.

He naturally remembered Yuichi Okamoto, who sent a distress message a few days ago.

However, he doesn't think Okamoto Yuichi will tell others about his existence.

This is interesting.

"Let him in." After talking to Fu Jin, let Tanakabe come in.
