Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 355 I'm Not the Pacific Police (8000 words)
Seo Daigo actually didn't think about anything.

But helplessly, the development potential of station p is too great, Seo Daigo just glanced at the data and concluded that this website will definitely become the number one illustration website in Japan in the future.

The reason why he didn't talk about the number one traffic website in Japan is because he can't talk too much. In fact, he still wants to go to the newly established p station operation department of Higashino Studio to have a look.

As for whether the data is fake, Dawu Seo doesn't think that Higashino and the others will cheat on such important data. Besides, other people are not fools, and they can tell whether it is fake or not at a glance.

Put aside these miscellaneous thoughts.

Seo Daigo also received his first mission.

"Illustration Grand Prix with the theme of 'Rain'?"

Listening to Higashino Tsukasa's words, Seo Daigo took the planning draft handed over by the other party and began to read it carefully.

He had to say that the project of Higashino Division and Yano Ryuichi was actually very well written, and some of the ideas were quite novel.

The most important thing is that the illustration website held a contest, and it was a grand prize contest with a total of 100 million yen. This was still a gimmick in Japan in 2005.

Even some illustrators who don't know about p station will definitely be moved when they see this exaggerated amount.

Seo Daigo quickly figured out the way to do it, raised his head and replied, "I understand, Mr. Higashino, but besides implementing this plan, can I make some changes myself? For example, here"

Seo Daigo pointed to the audition stage and said: "It's better to have more reviewers here, after all, it's the first competition of station P, I think the number of participants will definitely not be small, if there are too many submissions, the reviewer There will be a lot of pressure.”

Then he thought about it and said: "It's better to add some participation restrictions. For example, contestants must have more than three works on the p station."

This kind of competition that calls out painting lovers, there are sure to be plenty of shoddy paintings
After all, the entry threshold is too low, as long as you are a registered member of p station, you can participate. In order to prevent too much review pressure, it is better to increase the threshold, so that some people who just join in the fun and have no mood to compete will come to make trouble.

Seeing Seo Daigo quickly put forward two or three useful opinions, Higashino Division also sighed a little.

As expected of the editor-in-chief of Yanzhu Publishing House, he is really familiar with this kind of activities. (Manga magazines basically have competitions such as Newcomer Award or Monthly Award. Winning the Newcomer Award or Monthly Award will qualify you to debut as a manga author.)
Higashino Division is still thinking like this.

On the other side, Daigo Seo frowned again and said: "By the way, Mr. Higashino, do you want all ages to participate in this competition, or can R18 also participate? This aspect must be clearly restricted, because I found that R18 on the pixiv website Works also occupy a lot of space.”

The so-called "all ages" actually means "all ages can watch", and "R18" is actually limited to readers over the age of 18.

Dong Yesi did miss this aspect, he has never operated a website, and he has not considered these things.

At this moment, when he heard Dawu Seo come up with an idea, he came back to his senses and said, "Of course it must be for all ages."

You must know that this is the first large-scale event of station p, and GHS is at the beginning, so it is too fearless.

He doesn't want to be labeled as 'harming minors physically and mentally' by some media newspapers.

After all, there are many fifteen or sixteen-year-old high school students among the registered users of station p.

"I think so too." Seo Daigo let out a little breath, a little relaxed.

He was actually quite afraid of Higashino Division's sudden 'R18' just now.

After all, GHS is very gimmick. In the short term, it can definitely increase the number of website registrations.

But in the long run, this may not feel right.

Now that there are so many registered users on Site P, if you engage in these exciting things in public, then others will only have various negative impressions of your website.

A new website that only looks at short-term interests is definitely not enough.

Seo Daigo heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to turn around and get busy with his grand prize competition project, but he was stopped by Higashinoji before he took two steps.

This time, Higashino Division did not explain his work, but asked a little curiously: "Speaking of Seo-san, I heard that you seemed to be having a bad time with "Chiyo" by Iwazuki Publishing House? "

Uh.?

Seo Daigo looked at Higashino Division in surprise, then patted his head, and said with a smile: "It can't be said that it was unpleasant, but there was a quarrel before leaving the job."

He can be considered the kind of person who can see it openly, and he didn't tell Dong Yesi about the suppression of him by the faction of Yanzhu Publishing House.

"Really?" Higashino didn't ask too much about Seo Daigo's words, but just took out a newspaper from the side: "I just saw this newspaper today and I just want you to read it."

"What kind of newspaper is it?" Seo Daigo leaned over curiously.

The contents of the newspaper made him frown instantly: "This is"

Iwazuki Publishing House "Chiyo" decided to use the controversial Horikoshi Hanpei as the manga author again.
"The editor-in-chief of "Chiyo" this time is quite courageous." Higashino sighed next to him.

Of course Higashino knew why Iwazuki Publishing House started Horikoshi Hanpei immediately after kicking Seo away.

It is estimated that the sales of the recent "Chidai" have fallen too badly.

They want to rely on Horikoshi Hanpei's "Investigation and Search Team" to boost sales and compete with Higashinoji's "Hansawa Naoki".

"But that's pretty much impossible."

Seo Daigo put down the newspaper and shook his head at the same time.

Dreams are full, but reality is generally skinny.

Not to mention one Horikoshi Hanpei, even if there are five or six Horikoshi Hanpei, they will definitely not be the opponent of Higashinoji's "Naoki Hansawa".

And to be honest, the behavior of the newly appointed editor-in-chief of the other party more or less slapped him in the face of Dawu Seo.

Seo Daigo did not use the author, he chose to use.

But Daigo Seo had to admit that the newly appointed editor-in-chief did have some skills.

Below the newspaper is a picture of Horikoshi Hanping bowing and apologizing to the people.

Horikoshi Hanpei has a standard bad temper. When Seo Daigo persuaded him to apologize, he didn't pay attention at all, as if he refused to apologize to death.

But I don't know what trick the new editor-in-chief used to make the other party take the initiative to apologize in the newspaper.

"What's the name of the new editor-in-chief of Yanzhu Publishing House?" Higashino Division became a little interested, so he asked.

"...It should be called Komiya Hiroto." Seo Daigo replied: "He is an editor from the former Yanjiao Publishing House. In my impression, he is a person who is particularly opportunistic."

"It's not easy for him to climb to the position of editor-in-chief this time. He must want to sit for a longer time, so he asked Horikoshi Hanpei to cooperate."

To be honest, Seo Daigo is kind of disgusting.

Komiya Hiroto found Horikoshi Hanpei to cooperate again, just to increase the sales of "Chiyo", so as to secure his position as editor-in-chief.

This is simply the face of a standard businessman, who only has interests in his eyes, regardless of the bottom line of morality.

Similarly, the fact that Iwazuki Publishing House re-found Horikoshi Hanpei has also aroused heated comments on the Internet. Many people expressed disgust and disgust at this, obviously because they think Iwazuki Publishing House is too ugly.

"Komiya Hiroto," Higashinoji muttered thoughtfully after listening to Seo's introduction, but did not continue to entangle on this topic.

He looked very calm.

Seeing his expression, Daigo Seo couldn't help asking, "What do you think about this, Mr. Higashino?"

"What else can I do?"

Higashino Tsukasa was a little funny at Seo's words: "Horikoshi Hanpei. Ten more are not enough for "Hansawa Naoki" to fight."

When Higashinoji said this, he said this with a smile, and his expression was very calm, as if it really didn't take much effort to hang Horikoshi Hanhei up and beat him.

His expression was so convincing that even Daigo Seo fell into it for a while.

Then Seo teased Higashino: "Ms. Higashino is really confident."

"Let's tell the truth." Higashino Si replied cheerfully.

Sending Daigo Seo to continue working, Higashino did not hesitate, found an empty space and began to draw "Naoki Hansawa".

On the other side, Iwazuki Publishing House.

Hiroto Omiya, the new editor-in-chief who kicked out Daigo Seo, is frowning as he looks at the just-released Oricon Comics O List sales list.

The first place was undoubtedly taken away by "Hansawa Naoki".

Hiroto Omiya couldn't help scratching his hair, and took a deep breath.

The plot of "Hansawa Naoki" has gradually reached its climax.

At the beginning of this year, it stood at the first place in the public trust sales list with an unstoppable momentum, and at the same time, it rubbed the works of all other publishing houses on the ground.

This naturally includes all the works of Iwazuki Publishing House.

And this is also the first problem Hiroto Omiya faced when he took office - how to defeat "Naoki Hansawa"?
He thought about this question for a long time without an answer.

Because the data of "Hansawa Naoki" is really scary.

Even scarier than "Unnatural Death" that dominated the manga publishing industry last year.

Even if he finds Horikoshi Hanpei again and asks the other party to re-serialize on "Chiyo", Hiroto Omiya thinks it will be difficult to beat Higashinoji.

"This opponent is too invincible."

Hiroto Omiya couldn't help scratching his hair again.

Face "Naoki Hansawa" head-on?No matter how you think about it, you can't beat it.

Use outside tricks?Investigate Higashino Division?But Higashino has no scandals at all.
Hiroto Omiya thought of various methods.

Unlike Seo Daigo, who is upright and upright, he thought of all kinds of wicked ways.

What maliciously spreading scandals, what inviting some tabloid paparazzi to write some out-of-the-box exposure copy or simply find someone to go to the door of Higashino Si's house to affect his creation
He has all these ideas.

He's not like Daigo Seo, a resigned idiot who just wants to beat Higashinoji with the excellent quality of his own magazine-competition is omnipotent.

But
"I really can't find any way to defeat Higashinoji."

Hiroto Omiya knocked on the table vigorously, and then took a deep breath.

After debuting for such a long time, he has never heard of any scandals about Higashino, and exposing some out-of-the-box scandals may be used by Higashino to expand his influence again.

As for finding someone to stay by the door of Dong Yesi's house. This is a good way.

For example, find someone to pour chicken blood on the door of his house or something like that.

But what if it comes out?

At that time, he, the editor-in-chief, must not immediately take the blame and resign?

The only thing that makes him feel a little bit relieved now is that he found Horikoshi Hanpei and re-established a cooperative relationship with him.

He felt that relying on the influence of "Research and Search Team", at least the sales of "Chiyo" would not drop any further, and his editor-in-chief position should still be quite secure.

And just when Hiroto Omiya was thinking like this.

The atmosphere in the editorial department of "Chiyo" is a bit dull-this is already the norm in the editorial department of "Chiyo".

In the past, when Daigo Seo was around, he would encourage them from time to time, saying, "Don't be afraid if you can't beat Naoki Hansawa, just work harder." '

At that time, although they were always at a disadvantage, their working spirit was very good, and everyone actively discussed how to defeat Higashinoji.

But now the new editor-in-chief contacted the author of Horikoshi Hanpei as soon as he took office, and reprimanded them, expressing that they should pay attention to Horikoshi Hanpei, a pillar author.

But everyone knows what Horikoshi Hanpei did.

As long as the three views are not particularly crooked, it is impossible for an editor to agree with Hiroto Omiya's approach.

And when will our majestic giant publishing house rely on the works of a corrupt guy to support it?
Most of the editors were dissatisfied with Horikoshi Hanpei, but they couldn't stand Hiroto Omiya's request, so they could only pinch their noses and tilt the promotional resources towards Horikoshi Hanpei.

This made the originally dignified atmosphere in the editorial department even more depressing.

Quite a few editors were dissatisfied with the job.

The mood of the entire editorial department has also become decadent.

The atmosphere of the editorial department will naturally affect the author's creative enthusiasm.

Especially when the new editor-in-chief directed most of the publicity resources towards a manga author with a bad character, many veteran manga authors below expressed dissatisfaction.

Why can Horikoshi Hanpei get so many resource tilts?

Are you so sure that he can win "Hansawa Naoki" by Higashinoji?Haven't you been losing all the time?

These rumors spread everywhere in the editorial department, and soon reached Horikoshi Hanpei's ears.

In a gathering of authors of Iwazuki Publishing House, in front of many authors, he began to fight with some authors who were dissatisfied with his work style, saying that even without you, "Chiyo" manga magazine can still continue to develop.

This made the comic authors who were named and named by him so angry that they left the meeting on the spot.

"So that's why you guys came to me?"

Higashinoji glanced at the five or six manga writers from Iwazuki Publishing House around him with a strange expression, quite surprised.

Not
Contradictions within your agency, why do you want me?
I'm not Pacific Police.
