: My income is not much

TV TOKYO’s indoor studio hall is actually not very large, and it is basically used for holding some interviews or small indoor programs and other activities.

The studio hall presents a prototype as a whole. Excluding the recording equipment and various instruments, there is a large screen in front of it, and there are several sofas in the middle. There are double seats and single seats, forming a semi-arc. This is environment of the interview.

After Nishida Yugo brought Su Jie and the others in, there was not much time left until the live broadcast started. The cameraman who stayed inside made a few gestures, and Nishida Yugo nodded: “The next live interview will be hosted by Ms. Akina Miyahara , Ms. Miyahara is an experienced host, so don’t be nervous, just deal with it with a normal heart.”

After speaking, Nishida Yugo explained a few words to the staff. A woman in her thirties walked in, dressed dignifiedly and wearing a tailored pink dress, outlining the curves of her sexy and delicate body.

She has an oval face, neat short hair, light makeup on her face, and a well-proportioned figure, which looks like a mature woman.

“Hello cartoonists, editors, and animation producers. I am Akina Miyahara, the host of the live interview program. I am very happy to cooperate with you.”

The visitor introduced himself, with a dignified smile showing eight teeth on his face, and a gentle and pleasant speech, with a high affinity.

“Hello, I’m Seiichi Kinoshita, the chief supervisor of Firefly Company…”

“I’m Ying Lili, the original artist of Firefly Company.”

Afterwards, Akina Miyahara began to shake hands with Seiichi Kinoshita and the others one by one, introducing each other and saying hello.

“I’m……”

Su Jie stretched out his hand, and just about to introduce himself, Miyahara Akina looked over excitedly, and tightly held Su Jie’s palm: “I know you, teacher, cult gentleman, and I’m your fan! Teacher, your I have read the works of One Punch Man and Attack on Titan, and I have been following them.”

“Impossible.” Su Jie didn’t expect the host to come to this show. Seeing Akina Miyahara’s appearance, it seemed that she wasn’t pretending.

“Teacher, can you take a photo with me after the show? I’m really your fan.” Akina Miyahara said excitedly.

“Uh…no problem.” Akina Miyahara didn’t have much impression of Su Jie, because Su Jie seldom watched TV, but judging from the reactions of the other people, he should be the kind of host with a relatively high appearance rate.

“Ahem, pay attention to your image, don’t mess around like this after the live broadcast.” Nishida Yugo coughed twice, glared at Akina Miyahara, and then let her loosen Su Jie’s handshake.

“Ms. Miyahara, I am a layman in Longtan.”

“Mr. Longtan Layman, I am very glad to be able to cooperate with you here.”

Shoma Hirano was not far from Su Jie, but when he shook hands with Akina Miyahara, Akina Miyahara acted a little flat, although his words would not make people feel cold, but he did not have the kind of enthusiasm for Su Jie, This contrast made Hirano Shoma show a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

Nishida Yugo had already left the studio hall. Except for the staff, there were only Akina Miyahara and the representatives of the three companies left.

Everyone took their seats on the sofa, Su Jie and Marie sat on the same sofa, Eriri and Kinoshita Makoto sat on the side, Hirano Shoma and Minano Tang sat on the same sofa, Yukinoshita Yukino sat next to them alone On the sofa, and the host Akina Miyahara sits on the sofa in the middle, so it is better to control the field.

After everyone took their seats, it happened to be 12 noon. Akina Miyahara gave the video camera a wink. With the camera turned on, the TV station switched backstage, and the live interview officially started.

“Welcome everyone to watch this issue of focus interviews. Recently, animation has frequently occupied the field of view of TV stations. Today, we will take you to discuss animation and related fields, in order to let everyone intuitively understand the real situation of these acg industries. , We invited a number of heavyweight guests to attend this interview. Director Kinoshita Seiichi of Firefly Company, original artist Eri Rika, editor-in-chief of Weekly Shonen Jump Marie, well-known manga artist Cult Gentleman, and Monthly Shonen editor Namono, a well-known manga artist Longtan Layman.”

When the host Akina Miyahara talked about the opening remarks, every time a person’s name was mentioned, everyone would wave their hands and give a brief introduction.

At the same time, in Japan, countless viewers who stood in front of the TV and waited for the arrival of twelve o’clock tacitly switched to TV Tokyo to watch this issue of live TV with the participation of Firefly, Weekly Shonen Jump, and Monthly Shonen.

The ratings began to rise rapidly, and the three companies are well-known. Weekly Shonen Jump and Monthly Shonen are old-fashioned manga magazines with a huge fan base, while Firefly, relying on the dominance of the three animations recently on TV Tokyo, has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. High enough that the Tokyo electricityThe TV station is more famous than the previous two combined.

With such a large fan base, there are naturally many people watching the live broadcast.

In a luxury villa in Tokyo, Hiratsuka Shizuka was wearing a homely loose long dress, covering her upper body and some of her thighs, revealing a pair of crystal clear calves and half of her round thighs on her lower body. She sat cross-legged on the sofa with her hands crossed around her ankles, watching The 103-inch large LCD TV is TV Tokyo that broadcasts live interviews.

“Which one is your student?” Shizuka Hiratsuka’s mother Weio Hiratsuka sat beside her, watching TV while choosing dishes.

“There are three of my students inside, two girls and one boy.” Hiratsuka Jing pointed to Su Jie on the TV, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

“Which boy is the cartoonist you mentioned, why is there still a mosaic, I can’t see the face clearly.”

Hiratsuka Weiyang was a little curious, and said with a smile: “I’ve heard you say it a few times, this kid should be very good. Although I don’t read manga, I’ve heard of the name cult gentleman.”

“A very talented child, except for his academic performance, he knows all these things by himself without a teacher.”

“Next, I would like to introduce a character that everyone must be familiar with. The author of “Attack on the Cult” and “One-Punch Esquire”. He is the teacher of the cult gentleman, one of your favorite cartoonists.”

“Haha, hello everyone, I’m Cult Gentleman, and it’s a great honor to be a guest in the TV Tokyo studio today, but I have to declare that Attack on Cult and One-Punch Gentleman are indeed my works, and everyone should remember to confirm the name and buy them in the future. ”

“The cult gentleman teacher is very humorous.”

“Both each other, I’m not very polite.”

At this time, the voice of Su Jie talking with the host came from the TV, and the information about Su Jie was also interrupted at the bottom of the TV.

For example, the best-selling cartoonist in Weekly Shonen Jump, the gentleman leader with tens of millions of fans, the most influential passionate cartoonist, the youngest talented cartoonist, and other titles.

“Amazing my student, Xiao Jing, you have taught an amazing student!” Hiratsuka Weiyang was surprised, knocked on the long legs of the daughter next to her, and said: “How about taking him home for dinner next time? You haven’t got married yet.”

Hiratsuka rolled her eyes and said in a high voice: “Mom, what are you talking nonsense about? Why do you need to contact me to invite someone to eat and get married? Don’t mess around!”

“How old are you? An old lady. Alas, the old man and I are worried about you. Why don’t you know how to be considerate of your parents? It’s really a waste of money.”

“That’s not the reason why you linked my student with my marriage!” Hiratsuka Jing couldn’t laugh or cry, and was speechless about Hiratsuka Weiyang’s brain circuit.

“What’s the reason? Your student is going to college this year. Although he is a little young in age, things like feelings can be cultivated slowly. Tell me, do you take care of him?”

“Take care, how can you not take care of me, Mom, why do you think I usually practice martial arts?”

“You…you child.”

——————

In the TV Tokyo studio hall, Su Jie didn’t know that he was being talked about, and he was still doing his own live broadcast.

“We all know that cartoonists are freelancers. There is no minimum income guarantee, and their income fluctuates greatly. Therefore, the income of cartoonists is also a matter of great curiosity to the outside world. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the two teachers here, I can You can’t ask the teachers’ income for the audience.

I believe that many young people in front of the TV are also eager to be like the teachers and are very interested in the career of comics. The answers of the two senior teachers may inspire them to move forward on this road. I don’t know if the teachers are convenient. ”

“There is nothing inconvenient. If newcomers can really join the ranks of creating comics, I will be sincerely happy. The development of our comic industry cannot do without newcomers.”

Shoma Hirano replied first, and after a wave of goodwill in front of the TV audience, he straightened his collar, sat upright like a javelin, with his back straight, confident and high-spirited, and said slowly: “Last year, my manga was praised by Monthly Shonen. The sales guarantee has achieved very good sales results, and the income after tax deduction is about 270 million yen.”

“I heard correctly. Teacher Longtan Layman’s annual income is as high as 270 million. This is really a huge number. Teacher Longtan Layman has shown us the broad development prospects of cartoonists. Thank you for your answer.”

Akina Miyahara had a surprised expression on her face. This number is indeed astonishing.

Minano nods the Sanwu loli slightly, which is a good advertisement for the monthly boy, but when she sees Marie, she finds that the other party is not in a hurry, and she is sitting on the sofa calmly, thinking I couldn’t help but thump, and I had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the host then asked about Su Jie’s income.

“Can the cult gentleman teacher also report your income?” Akina Miyahara did not forget that there was another cartoonist here, so she turned her attention to Su Jie.

“Of course.” Su Jie smiled slightly, showing his white teeth, and nodded towards Hirano Xiangzhen as a gesture of goodwill, and said: “My income is not too much, it is about five times the income of Master Longtan Layman.”

Zhenhui’s face was radiant. This is the manga artist she brought up with her own hands. Su Jie’s achievements gave her a sense of accomplishment, especially when she saw Minano’s little face suddenly twitching., I became more and more happy.

“Five times, that’s not more than a billion yen, oh my god!” Akina Miyahara looked shocked, and her mouth couldn’t close in surprise.

“This income doesn’t contain water? It’s exaggerated.” Hirano Shoma’s face immediately sank. Su Jie took him as a unit to measure income, which was undoubtedly a kind of contempt.

At the same time, he doesn’t really believe in Su Jie’s income. He debuted earlier than Su Jie, and has more works than Su Jie. Even if Su Jie’s two super popular works sell well, it is impossible for him to earn so much more than himself.

“I’m disclosing a piece of data that was kept secret before. The cumulative sales of the cult gentleman teacher’s booklet is 30 million copies. Our Weekly Shonen Jump can prove that the income that the cult gentleman teacher said is true.” Zhenhui stood on Su Jie’s side. .

Su Jie glanced at Hirano Shouma, and said to Kinoshita Seiichi: “I don’t need to exaggerate about this matter. In fact, the single book can sell so well, thanks to the help of Firefly Company, the manga adaptation animation brings The effect of the publicity is astonishingly good, and the sales volume of the single book has increased several times. The animation company has a great influence on the cartoonists, and the cooperation between the two is a win-win choice.”

“You’re welcome, Mr. Cult Gentleman, we owe it to you to allow our company to have these two excellent adaptations.”

Kinoshita Seiichi still acted very well, without revealing his superior-subordinate relationship with Su Jie. While speaking, Kinoshita Seiichi also understood what Su Jie said, and gave Ying Lili a voice: “Actually, Ying Lili is also a A manga artist, she works part-time as an original artist in our Firefly company, she is a very hard-working child, we have also seen Eriri’s works serialized in Monthly Shonen, and think it is very suitable for animation adaptation, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.”

“These bastards.” No matter how stupid Hirano Xiangzhen was, he could tell that Su Jie and the others were working together to avenge his previous behavior.

The partnership of several people made his face even more ugly. He and Su Jie are both called genius cartoonists, but their income is not an order of magnitude. In terms of income, Su Jie has crushed him too much. He was short before the fight Su Jie headed up.

And Kinoshita Seiichi also told him with practical actions that part-time jobs in animation companies are very promising. At least there is a very high chance that manga can be adapted into animation.

“We cartoonists are storytellers. Generally, novels are expressed in words. We cartoons use pictures to let the audience see our stories more vividly. It is even better to adapt comics into animation, so that the audience can see our stories in a more three-dimensional way. To feel the fun of the story, the three ways are all telling the story, but the animation is undoubtedly the most vivid and effective, and it is regrettable and flawed for cartoonists who do not have animation.”

Su Jie talked eloquently, and at the same time looked at Hirano Shouma with contempt. According to the information he had read before, the manga created by Hirano Shoma was not suitable for animation adaptation. Therefore, the flawed manga artist Su Jie mentioned was Hirano Shoma. Listed.

What Su Jie said is actually correct. In the previous life, if a cartoonist could adapt his works into animations, it would be worth toasting. It would be a joyful thing, and it would increase fame, status, and income to varying degrees.

Such cartoonists or novel authors have a unified name, animation writers, two cartoonists stand together, one has animation works, and the other does not, the gap will be more obvious. As for the reason, of course it is animation The way of communication and the ability to attract, animation can make comics move, this inherent advantage is too great.

After Su Jie finished speaking, Hirano Shoma’s face was blackened, his eyes flashed with anger, and he was very angry at Su Jie’s belittling statement.

Akina Miyahara also saw that something was wrong. There was too much gunpowder between Su Jie and Heino Shoushin.

“Thank you for the answer from the cult gentleman teacher. Now let’s ask the supervisor Kinoshita of Firefly Company, Supervisor Kinoshita. These days, your Firefly Company has risen too fast. May I ask you to rise in more than a year? Is there any secret? ?”

As the host of the event, Akina Miyahara doesn’t have a script, so she can only play by ear and bring the topic to Firefly Company, otherwise Sho Hirano will end up in trouble
