Chapter 280 Three: My income is not much

The TV TOKYO indoor studio is actually not very large, and it is basically used to hold some interviews or small indoor programs and other activities.

The studio presents the prototype as a whole, except for the recording equipment and various instruments, there is a big screen in front of it, and there are several sofas in the middle, there are two-seater and single-seater, surrounding in a semi-arc, this is the the interview environment.

After Nishida Yuwu brought Su Jie and the others in, there was not much time left for the live broadcast to start. The cameraman who stayed inside made a few gestures, and Nishida Yuwu nodded: "The next live interview will be hosted by Miss Miyahara Akina. , Miss Miyahara is an experienced host, you don't need to be nervous, just deal with it with a normal heart."

After Nishida Yugou explained a few words to the staff, one was dressed dignifiedly, wearing a tailored pink dress, which outlined the curves of a sexy body, and a woman in her thirties walked in.

She has a melon-seeded face, neat short hair, light makeup on her face, and a bumpy figure that looks like a mature woman.

"Hello fellow cartoonists, editors, and animators, I'm Akina Miyahara, the host of the live talk show, and I'm very happy to be working with you."

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

"Hello, I'm Seiichi Kinoshita, the general manager of Firefly Company..."

"I'm Eiri, the original artist of Firefly Company."

......

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

"I'm......"

Su Jie stretched out his hand and was about to introduce himself when Miyahara Akina looked over excitedly and held Su Jie's hand tightly: "I know you, cult gentleman teacher, I'm your fan! Teacher, yours I have read the works One Punch Man and Attack on Titan, and have been following them all the time.”

"Impossible." Su Jie didn't expect the host to come here. Seeing Miyahara Akina's appearance, it seemed that he was not pretending.

"Teacher, can you take a photo with me after the show is over? I'm really your fan." Miyahara Akina said excitedly.

"Uh... no problem." Miyahara Akunai Su Jie was not impressed, because Su Jie rarely watched TV, but judging from the reactions of several other people, it should be the kind of host who has a relatively high appearance rate.

"Cough cough, pay attention to the image, don't mess around like this when the live broadcast will be broadcast." Nishida Yuwu coughed twice and glared at Miyahara Akina before letting her release the handshake with Su Jie.

"Ms. Miyahara, I am the Longtan layman."

"Lord Longtan, I'm very happy to work with you here."

Hirano Shojin was not far from Su Jie, but when he shook hands with Miyahara Akina, Miyahara Akina's expression was a little dull. Although the words didn't make people feel cold, they didn't have the kind of enthusiasm for Su Jie. This contrast made Hirano Shoma's eyes show a trace of jealousy.

Nishida Yugo has left the studio, and the staff are removed, leaving Miyahara Akina and the representatives of the three companies.

Everyone was seated on the sofa, Su Jie and Marri were sitting on the same sofa, Ying Lili and Kinoshita Makoto sat on the side, Hirano Xiangzhen and Mino were sitting on the same sofa, and Yukinoshita Yukino sat next to them. On the sofa, and the host Miyahara Akina sitting on the middle sofa, it is better to control the scene.

After they took their seats, it was exactly 12 noon. Miyahara Akina gave the cameraman a wink. As the camera turned on, the TV station switched backstage, and the live interview officially started.

"Welcome everyone to watch this focal length interview. Recently, animation has been frequently seen on TV stations. Today, we will take you to discuss animation and related fields, in order to better let you understand the real situation of these acg industries more intuitively. , for this interview, we have invited a number of heavyweight guests to attend the interview, including supervisor Seiichi Kinoshita from Firefly Company, original artist Ying Riri, editor-in-chief of Weekly Shonen Jump, well-known cartoonist cult gentleman, and monthly editor Jie Ye Zan, a well-known cartoonist Longtan layman."

The host, Miyahara Akina, 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 waited in front of the TV and waited for the arrival of twelve o'clock tacitly switched to TV Tokyo to watch the live TV broadcast of this issue, which was participated by the three companies Firefly, Weekly Shonen Jump, and Monthly Shonen.

The ratings have begun to rise rapidly, and the three companies are very well-known. Weekly Shonen Jump and Monthly Shonen are old manga magazines with huge fan groups, while Firefly relies on the recent three animations to dominate the TV Tokyo TV screen. High enough, TV Tokyo 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, Shizuo Hiratsuka wore a loose long coat at home, covering the upper body and some thighs, revealing a pair of crystal clear calves and half rounded thighs, sitting cross-legged on the sofa with both hands hooked on the ankles, watching The 103-inch LCD TV is the TV Tokyo that broadcasts live interviews.

"Which one is your student?" Hiratsuka's mother, Hiratsuka Miyo, sat next to her, watching TV while choosing dishes.

"There are three of my students, two girls and one boy." Hiratsuka Shizuo pointed at Su Jie on the TV with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Which boy is the cartoonist you said, why there is Mosaic, I can't see his face."

Hiratsuka Weiyang was a little curious and smiled: "I heard you say it a few times, this child should be very good, although I don't read comics, but I have heard the name cult gentleman."

"A very gifted child, except for his academic performance, he can learn all these things by himself."

"Next, I want to introduce a character that everyone must be familiar with, the author of "Attack on the Cult" and "One Punch Gentleman", he is - the cult gentleman teacher, one of your favorite cartoonists."

"Haha, hello everyone, I'm a cult gentleman, and I'm honored to be a guest on TV Tokyo's live broadcast room today, but I have to make it clear that the attacking cult and the one-punch gentleman are indeed my works. You must remember to confirm your name and buy it in the future. "

"The cult gentleman teacher is very humorous."

"One another, I am not polite."

At this time, the voice of Su Jie and the host talking came from the TV, and the information about Su Jie was also inserted below the TV.

For example, the best-selling cartoonist of Weekly Shonen Jump, the gentleman leader of millions of fans, the most influential enthusiastic cartoonist, the youngest genius cartoonist and so on.

"Amazing my student, Xiao Jing, you have taught an amazing student!" Hiratsuka Weiyang was surprised, tapped the long leg of his daughter next to him, and said, "How about taking him to the house for a meal next time? You haven't gotten married yet."

Shizuo Hiratsuka rolled her eyes and said in a high voice, "Mom, what are you talking about, why do you need to contact me if you invite someone to my house for dinner and marry me? Don't mess around!"

"How old are you, an old girl, sigh, the old man and I have broken our hearts for you. Why don't you know how to be considerate of your parents? It's such a waste of money."

"That's not the reason why you linked my student to my marriage!" Hiratsuka Jing couldn't laugh or cry, and was speechless at Hiratsuka's brain circuit.

"What's the reason for this? Your student is going to college this year. Although he is a little younger, things like feelings can be cultivated slowly. Tell me, do you take care of him normally?"

"Take care, how can you not take care of me, Mom, what do you use when I usually practice martial arts?"

"You...you child."

------

In the Tokyo TV studio, Su Jie did not know that he was being talked about, and was still conducting his own live broadcast.

"We all know that cartoonists are freelancers, and there is no minimum income guarantee, and their income fluctuates greatly. Therefore, the income of cartoonists is also a question that we are extremely curious about. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the two teachers here, I can You can't ask the teachers about their income for the audience.

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

"There is no inconvenience. If newcomers can really join the ranks of creating comics, I will be sincerely happy. The development of our comics industry is inseparable from newcomers."

Hirano Shojin replied first, after a wave of goodwill in front of the TV audience, and then tidied up his collar, sitting like a javelin, with a straight waist, confident and high-spirited, slowly opened his mouth and said, "Last year, my comics were because of the good quality of Monthly Boys. The sales guarantee has achieved very good sales results, and the income after tax deduction is about 2.7 million yen."

"I heard that right. The annual income of Lay Master Longtan is as high as 2.7 million, which is really a huge number. Lay Master Longtan has shown us the broad prospects for the development of cartoonists. Thank you for your answer."

Miyahara Akina looked surprised, this number is indeed amazing.

This is a good advertisement for the monthly youth, but when she saw the truth Hui, she found that the other party was not in a hurry, she was sitting on the sofa calmly, and she felt in her heart. I couldn't help but groan, and I had a bad premonition.

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

"Can the cult gentleman also report your income?" Miyahara Akina didn't forget that there was another cartoonist here, so he turned his attention to Su Jie again.

"Of course you can." Su Jie smiled slightly, showing his white teeth, and nodded to Xiang Hirano, "My income is not much, about five times the income of Master Longtan."

Zhenhui's face was radiant, this is the cartoonist she brought up by herself, Su Jie's achievements gave her a sense of accomplishment, especially when she saw the small face of Jie Yechan's sudden twitching, she felt happier.

"Five times, that's not one billion yen, my God!" Miyahara Akina was shocked, and her mouth couldn't close in surprise.

"There is no moisture in this income? Exaggeration." Hirano Xiangzhen's face sank immediately, and Su Jie used him as a unit to measure his income, which was undoubtedly a form of contempt.

At the same time, he doesn't quite believe in the income of Su Jie News. He debuted earlier than Su Jie and has more works than Su Jie. Even if Su Jie's two super popular works are popular, 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 single volume of the cult gentleman teacher is 3000 million copies. Our weekly Shonen Jump can prove that the income stated by the cult gentleman teacher is true." Zhenhui stood on Su Jie's side.

Su Jie glanced at Hirano Shoma, and said to Kinoshita Seiichi: "I don't need to exaggerate this matter, in fact, the single line could have sold so well, thanks to the help of Firefly, the comic adaptation animation. The publicity effect is amazing, and the sales of the single book have been increased several times. The animation company has a great influence on the cartoonist, and the cooperation between the two is a win-win choice."

"You're welcome, cult gentleman teacher, or we have dipped in your light, so that our company can have these two excellent adaptation animations."

Kinoshita Seiichi still acted very well without revealing his relationship with Su Jie. While speaking, Kinoshita Seiichi also understood what Su Jie said and said to Ying Lili: "Actually Ying Lili is also a A cartoonist, she works part-time as an original artist for our Firefly Company, and she is a very hardworking child. We have also seen Ying Lili's works serialized in Monthly Shonen, and think it is very suitable for animation adaptation, and maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"These bastards." No matter how stupid Hirano Xiang was, he could see that Su Jie and the others were partners to avenge their previous actions.

The partnership of several people made his face even more ugly. He and Su Jie were both called genius cartoonists, but the income was not an order of magnitude. In terms of income, Su Jie crushed him too much. Su Jie's head.

And Kinoshita Seiichi also told him with practical actions that part-time job in an animation company is very promising, at least the chances of manga being adapted into animation are very high.

"We cartoonists are storytellers. Generally, novels are expressed in the form of words. We cartoonists use pictures to let the audience see our stories more vividly, and the adaptation of cartoons into animation is even better, so that the audience can be more three-dimensional. To feel the interest of the story, the three methods are all telling stories, but animation is undoubtedly the most vivid and effective, and it is regrettable and flawed that there is no animation cartoonist."

Su Jie talked eloquently while looking at Shojin Hirano with contempt. The data he had read before showed that the cartoons created by Shojin Hirano were not suitable for animation adaptation. Therefore, Shojin Hirano went to Shojin Hirano for the flawed cartoonist Su Jie said. Listed.

What Su Jie said is actually correct. In a previous life, if a cartoonist could animate and adapt his own work, it would be worthy of a toast, a joyous thing, and his fame, status, and income would be improved to varying degrees.

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

After Su Jie said these words, Hirano Xiangzhen's face was blackened, his eyes flashed with anger, and he was disgusted by Su Jie's belittling.

Miyahara Akina also saw that the situation was not right. The smell of gunpowder between Su Jie and Ye Xiangzhen was too strong.

"Thank you for the answer from the cult gentleman. Now let's ask the supervisor Kinoshita of the Firefly Company, the supervisor Kinoshita, the rise of your Firefly Company has been too fast these days, may I ask you to rise in more than a year, is there any secret? ?"

As the host of the event, Miyahara Akina did not have a script, so he could only act by chance and bring the topic to the Firefly Company, otherwise Sho Hirano would not end well.

Chapter 280 Four: Afraid of being tired of love, beauty

"The secret of success, one reason is that our Firefly Company is not a pure capital. The purpose of making animations is to bring joy to the audience. Another reason is because the chairman of our Firefly Company, he single-handedly made fireflies from scratch. Established, I have followed him from the very beginning, and I know best how much effort and sweat it takes to run a company to where it is today. I remember when the most difficult time, the chairman personally went to China to attract investment to the company. And talent, if Firefly didn't have this investment at that time, it would be impossible to open the pot."

Kinoshita Seiichi said with emotion, as if caught in a memory.

"The mysterious chairman, to be honest, I really want to meet him, but the chairman of such a big company must have a lot of work to deal with every day. We can understand that this opportunity seems to be gone."

Miyamoto Akina agreed, but he did not fully believe what Kinoshita Seiichi said in his heart. These businessmen are the best at playing emotional cards. They all tell their own experiences very richly, and the ups and downs are like stories. He used to host interviews. Miyamoto Akina, who had been a businessman, knew this very well, and in his heart he gave a half to what Kinoshita Seiichi said.

During this process, Su Jie always looked indifferent, as if it was none of his business, and he acted very well.

"Ms. Yingri, what is your greatest impression of working in a place with a bright future and vitality like Firefly Company? Can the salary of the original artist improve the quality of life?"

Miyamoto Akina asked Eiri who was on the side of Makoto Kinoshita again.

"I have learned a lot at Firefly Company. The original artist has something in common with the cartoonist to some extent. It is not so much a company as it is a hobby class. In order to make their dreams come true, hundreds of diligent employees have jointly shaped Firefly, which is the biggest difference I have seen between Firefly and other animation companies since I joined Firefly.”

Ying Lili sorted out her words, and continued: "My salary is relatively high in Firefly, because the original artist is a high-paying family in the animation production industry. My salary is around 1200 million yen a year, the company's top The original artist can earn more than 2000 million yen a year, which also includes some private work that our original artist has taken on.”

"1200 million." Miyahara Akina has experienced the stimulation of Su Jie before, and is no longer so sensitive to this number, just a little surprised. After all, Yingli is just an employee, and it is different from a top cartoonist like Su Jie. The annual income of 1200 million yen is almost equal to the annual income of one million yuan, so no matter where you are, you can live very well.

"Is this profession so lucrative?" Jun Ye couldn't help asking.

Yinglili’s salary is higher than that of many rookie cartoonists. Taking Su Jie as a newcomer and joining Weekly Shonen Jump as an example, one page of comics is 10000 yen, and one month can draw 60 pieces, which is equal to 60 yen. It is the same as Yinglili’s original painting The monthly income of teachers is 100 yen, which is about half of the difference.

Although the future of cartoonists is much greater than that of original artists, it is important to know that many cartoonists will not last until that time, not to mention that comic magazines will cut their comics in half. Many comics have no chance of being published in a single book.Therefore, it is often seen that some cartoon family members are still poor and poor when they are middle-aged.

"Hmph." Hirano Sho was really angry, and felt that Yingri was targeting herself. She said before that she should not delay her future by working part-time at Firefly Company, but now people say that her income at Firefly Company is higher than that at Monthly Junior.

"The profession of the original artist also depends on the level, just like a voice actor, a powerful original artist can earn a lot, while the average original artist's income will be much lower, maybe only a few million a year, if some second original artist. There are fewer of those.”

Yingli Li said humbly that she was one of the first batch of talents to join Firefly Company, and one of the original painters of the veterans. After learning, she improved quickly, and her ability level was close to that of top original painters, and she could afford this salary.

"Anyway, he has money." A cold voice was like a stream after melting snow, flowing in everyone's ears.
