Zongman: Nohara Shinnosuke is about to be chopped off

"I hope the teacher is free."

Kasumigaoka Utaha said this while dialing the phone.

"Xiao Shiyu, who are you looking for?"

Xiaoxin on the side came over curiously, his big eyes full of confusion.

Hearing Xiaoxin's question, Kasumigaoka Utaha showed a smug smile and explained to Xiaoxin:

"Hehe, Shin-chan, it seems you're still not as smart as me. When it comes to something as important as selling copyrights, of course I have to ask for advice from my seniors."

As she spoke, Shiyu shook the phone in her hand:

"We have an amazing senior, Shimogenda-sensei! He is a well-known figure in our industry."

Shimo Genda, twenty years ago, this writer was already a well-known and popular figure in the industry.

It is said that the film and television adaptation rights of his novels can be sold for 1 billion yen each! An industry leader like him can definitely give them some valuable advice.

"Shimo Genda... who is that? Shiha-chan, is that your relative?"

Xiao Xin tilted his head and thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember it. He scratched his head in confusion.

"Shin-chan, you...don't you even remember Shimo Genda-sensei?"

Hearing what Xiaoxin said, Shiyu held her forehead helplessly, her tone full of helplessness.

After all, it was Xiaoxin who introduced her to this big shot in the industry.

"Because I'm very busy every day, I often forget things."

In the face of Shiyu's complaints, Xiaoxin didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he put his hands on his hips and looked proud.

"That's it... Mao Zhigen, now you can remember it, right?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Shin-chan expectantly.

I hope this unique name can evoke his memory.

"Oh, Mao Zhigen, why didn't you say that earlier?" Shin-chan nodded repeatedly as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Oh, yes, yes, it's all my fault."

Shiyu rolled her eyes and said weakly:

"Come on, Shin-chan, do me a favor and say hello to the teacher."

As she spoke, she stuffed the phone into Xiaoxin's hand and fell into deep thought.

Shin-chan's brain is really special.

He remembered the pseudonym "Shigegen" clearly, but he had completely forgotten his real name "Shigegenda".

After thinking about it, Shiyu suddenly felt something was wrong. Huh? Wait. Could it be that Shin-chan... even forgot my name?

That's why I always call her "Xiao Shiyu"...

Shin-chan had already picked up the phone and shouted excitedly, "Hi, is this Mao Zhigen? Long time no see!"

"…It's Shimogenda! Damn it, you called the wrong person again."

There was a helpless sigh from the other end of the phone, followed by a charming male voice.

"Xiao Xin, why did you call me suddenly? Is there something wrong?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was afraid that Shin-chan wouldn't be able to explain clearly, so she quickly took the phone from him.

"Teacher Shimogenda! I'm so sorry to bother you so suddenly. Actually, we want to sell the copyright of a novel recently, but we don't know much about it, so I would like to ask for your advice..."

"It's Crayon Shin-chan, right?"

Shimogenda's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a bit of surprise,

"I didn't expect you to get to the point of selling the copyright so quickly. It's really amazing."

"Yes, it's that novel. The price they're offering is 200 million, but I always feel..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha poured out all the doubts in her heart.

"Two million." Shimogenda sighed thoughtfully.

"This amount is already quite a lot for a new writer. However, if you are really confident in this work, I suggest you ask for less royalties, or even no royalties at all, and instead strive for more shares."

"Shares?" Shiyu was stunned and asked as if she understood.

"Yes. On the one hand, if the animation or comics sell well, you may get more returns. On the other hand, with shares, you will have more say in the subsequent film and television adaptations. If they tamper with the plot at random, you can also raise objections in time to avoid being sidelined."

Shimo Genda also specifically cited his own example from that year.

It turned out that his debut work, a serious mystery novel, was turned into a romantic idol drama by a film and television company and was severely criticized by book fans.

From then on, he secretly made up his mind that he would never allow those investment companies to make changes at will and waste his hard work.

In this way, Zhimaogenda earnestly taught Shiyu the precautions in all aspects such as signing contracts, pricing, and dividends, striving to prevent her from repeating his mistakes.

"Teacher Shimogenda, thank you so much!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha thanked her sincerely.

After this, the negotiations between Kasumigaoka Utaha and Haruno went relatively smoothly.

Although Shiyu still seems a little unfamiliar with negotiations, compared to the beginning, she is no longer the ignorant novice.

"Ms. Yang Nai, how have you thought about the suggestions I just made?"

Shiyu clenched her fists tightly and looked at Yangno with a serious and slightly nervous expression.

Yang No looked at the somewhat nervous Kasumigaoka Utaha in front of her, and at this moment she no longer had the intention to continue teasing her.

Yang Nai raised the corners of his lips slightly, stood up, stretched out his hand towards Shi Yu, and said:

"I will consider your request carefully and give you a reply as soon as possible. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

"Phew~Happy cooperation."

When Kasumigaoka Utaha saw that Haruno agreed, she suddenly felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that he and Shin-chan will be able to participate in the production of future comics and animation.

"Oh, now that we're done talking, let's go eat!"

Shin-chan, who was originally leaning against Yukino to read a book, immediately became excited when he saw the negotiation was over.

"Ugh."

Xueno looked at Shin-chan who seemed to be liberated and shook her head helplessly.

It seems that it is still too difficult to make Shin-chan appreciate the beauty of literature.
