This boring world without comics

Jiang Hao used supernatural powers to rush home quickly, and he kept blaming himself in his heart along the way.

It's really such a peaceful life, it actually led to such a big mistake......

In retrospect, when he was soaking in the hot spring that day, Mori Ogai reminded him that his phone kept ringing, but at that time, he didn’t know what was wrong with his brain, so he didn’t even care about it. It never occurred to me to check to see if it was something urgent.

That day happened to be the first day that Spirited Away's physical comic book was released, and it was obviously the day I should read the most!

stupid stupid stupid!

Jiang Hao, you are a big idiot!

All I can think about is the holidays, so I even delay the business!

The first thing Jiang Hao did when he got home was to quickly charge his phone.

The phone was out of battery, and he was completely out of contact. He didn't even need to turn it on. Jiang Hao could already imagine how many notification messages would pop up after a while.

After the mobile phone was fully charged, it could be turned on. All kinds of message reminders popped up like crazy, and lasted for more than ten seconds.

There are private message reminders from Twitter and Aite news, dozens of text messages from Kyoko Teraki, and even Jiang Hao’s comic book printing factory heard the news and sent a few text messages asking him if he wanted to print more.

The message was sent from the daytime of yesterday until now, Jiang Hao can't imagine how many people have caused unnecessary trouble because of his playfulness and laziness.

Jiang Hao quickly went to Twitter and sent a tweet with the account of Jiying Club:

[I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone, and arrangements for reprinting are already underway.Thank you for your love for Spirited Away. 】

The tweet has just been posted, and the comments in the comment area below are growing at a rate that seems to be on the hook.

[I finally waited for you, but luckily I didn't give up. ]

[Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. ]

[After all, they are already a company with popular works, and I feel that you have handled things very inappropriately, as if the entire company is operated by only one person....]

All kinds of comments made Jiang Hao feel very uncomfortable.

Sure enough, for the next holiday or something, it's better to have a long-term plan, and don't just leave like a child throwing a tantrum.

As for the operation of the company... Well, he is really the only one working in this little trash company...

Jiang Hao made a plan in his mind.

It will definitely take several days for a large number of reprints, and it can only be done in batches. I hope that the number of orders placed by the factory can be slightly less.

****

When I came to the printing factory, the staff there knew Jiang Hao and seemed very happy to see him here.

"You are finally here, where have you been these days?"

Jiang Hao felt a little embarrassed: "I just finished my work a while ago, and I invited a friend to hang out for two days. I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone."

"It's okay, it's a small problem." The staff of the printing factory was very kind, "How much will you print this time?"

About how much to print, Jiang Hao already has the answer in his heart.

"One hundred thousand copies this time."

When the number was said, the staff member was a little frightened. He was stunned and confirmed again: "One hundred thousand copies... This is not a small amount. Of course we made money, but you Are you sure you want this much? Now, except for the novels of some well-known authors who can sell this amount, otherwise you will really lose money......"

Jiang Hao knew it in his heart, but he had already made a decision.

"It's okay, I'm sure I want [-] copies." Jiang Hao's eyes were extremely firm.

Seeing that Jiang Hao did not have any hesitation, the other party agreed.

Jiang Hao thought for a long time on the way to the printing factory, and he felt that his previous actions seemed a bit wrong.

To create a world with comics is to integrate comics into everyone's daily life, just like in his original world, no matter how dilapidated the bookstore is, there will be such a small corner with comic books.It doesn't matter if it's a popular manga, or it doesn't matter if it's been placed for many years and no one cares about it. They all exist there, and they are so familiar that people feel that it is a normal thing.

Jiang Hao didn't think that all the [-] books could be sold, but what he had to do was to keep the manga in every bookstore.

So these [-] copies are not a lot at ten o'clock.

The employees of the printing factory are now printing the contract. Jiang Hao took out his mobile phone and posted a new tweet.

The content is to tell everyone that [-] copies are on the way, printing will take time, please be patient, don't buy second-hand books that have been sold at sky-high prices in the second-hand market, new ones will arrive soon.

[I'll go, one hundred thousand copies in one go... What kind of company is Chicken Eagle Club?With such a generous shot, he is not afraid of losing his pants. ]

[Even a novel by a best-selling author would not dare to print [-] copies in one go... Is it because of you, the chick, or is it really a fool with a lot of money? ]

[Although, I just want to ask, what is the chick upstairs 2333]

[Nicknames given to Jiying Club by the majority of netizens hahahahahaha]

[I feel sorry for Xiaoji’s money, and I’m really happy that I don’t have to worry about not being able to buy it anymore, but I don’t want to see Xiaoji go bankrupt just by publishing a book like this! ]

[Chicks are so brainwashed, my mind is full of chickens, chickens, chickens...]

Jiang Hao didn't see the comments below this time. While he was waiting for the staff to print the contract, he casually walked around the hall by himself.

There are a few posters on the desk, I don't know if they are finished products or samples.He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but he was attracted by the words above.

[Famous illustrator Yumi Yamashita held a painting intensive training camp]

Seeing this news, Jiang Hao immediately stopped breathing.

Mr. Yamashita Yumi is a god-level figure!

When Jiang Hao came to this world, he also did a lot of research, especially for these various famous illustrators, he tried to learn as much as possible.

Teacher Yumi Yamashita is one of Jiang Hao's favorite teachers. Her paintings are not realistic. When many illustrators are following the trend of the times and using electronic devices to draw, she still maintains the most traditional way.

Even without the help of modern electronic products, Mr. Yamashita Yumi can use the subtle color differences in different pigments to match, presenting a dreamlike and gorgeous scenery.

Such a powerful master artist will hold a training camp! ?

Jiang Hao felt that all the cells in his body were boiling!

go!must go!Even if you are climbing, you have to climb! ! !

Generally, artists of this level will not hold public lectures, and even if they train apprentices, they are all newcomers selected from their circle.People like Jiang Hao who are out of touch with their circle, not to mention studying, may even meet them in a dream.That's what makes this opportunity so important!

but.......

Jiang Haozai carefully observed the promotional poster. There was no phone number or e-mail for registration. How to register?

Just at this time, the staff of the printing factory came over with the contract that had just been printed.

"Excuse me, when did the thing on this poster start?"

The staff member glanced at the direction of Jiang Hao's finger and said, "This is an order that just came in yesterday. This is just the first version of the pattern design sample, and it hasn't been completely finished yet."

Jiang Hao was very happy after hearing this, which means that the registration has not yet started, and there are still opportunities!

"May I ask when is the completion date you agreed on for this thing?"

"Looks like it should be next week."

next week...next week.....

In fact, there are not a few days left!

Jiang Hao still wanted to ask a little more, but at this time, guests came in one after another, and everyone started to be busy, so he checked the contents of the contract with the staff, signed and left.

The details they have settled are to send out [-] copies by [-] copies, and they will not wait until all [-] copies have been printed.

The main reason is that I don't want readers to wait too long, and it will take some time for Jiang Hao's funds to transfer.

A large order of [-] copies came, and the printing house was naturally happy.

But someone has discovered the clue.

The father of the [-]-order sponsor who went out just now looks very familiar.

It seems to be... the beautiful boy drawing pictures in the park that was popular on the Internet a while ago? !

****

A week is not long, nor is it short.

Before everyone has come out of the sadness of the end of Spirited Away, the new comic series begins.

Jiang Hao was tangled and worried in his heart.

He was worried that the style of painting would change too fast, and everyone might not be able to accept it for a while.

At the same time, he is also struggling, whether it is the right choice to start serializing new works in such a seamless manner, but if he does not do so, he is also worried that readers will forget the comics again after too long.

But it's useless to worry about these things, what should come will still come, but it's just a matter of time.

This time, before the serialization started, Jiang Hao had already agreed with the Asahi Shimbun that Chicken Eagle Club would be responsible for the separate release and post-production of Demon Slayer: Blade, and it was also for the sake of animations that would appear in the future. make preparations.

Jiang Hao hopes that through Ghost Slayer: Blade, everyone can gradually realize the existence of Chicken Eagle Society. If the comic industry wants to develop in the long run, it must not be serialized in newspapers all the time. They need a platform dedicated to themselves.

But the Asahi Shimbun helped him in his most difficult time after all. If Demon Slayer Blade really gained everyone's love and respect in the future, would he really just leave like that?

Forget it.....now is not the time to think about these things.

Whether the comics in this world can develop into an industrial chain like Shonen Jump is still a question...

On the day when the serialization of Demon Slayer: Blade of Demon Slayer officially started, the Asahi Shimbun did not dare to directly give half of the headline section like it did with Spirited Away, but it still wrote the new work Demon Slayer: Blade in a small corner of the first page. The news of the official serialization is also very thoughtful with colorful illustrations.

Jiang Hao got up early in the morning and went to a convenience store to buy a newspaper from the Asahi Shimbun.

Unlike Spirited Away, Spirited Away is not a comic. Its storyboards are created by Jiang Hao himself, and they deliberately match the layout of newspapers as much as possible.But Ghost Slayer is different, Jiang Hao is not sure whether Ghost Slayer can also adapt to the newspaper layout.

Open the literature and art section, and at the top of the newspaper is a coloring page, on which are the protagonist Tomon Tanjiro and his younger sister Nezuko, next to some short story introduction slogans, the logo of Demon Slayer: Blade and the signature of the author Sakutoge Koyoharu Put it below, and then there is the content in the comics.

I don't know if it's because Jiang Hao is used to flipbook comics, he looks a little weird, but the serialization has already started, let's see the overall effect first.

At the same time, Jiang Hao just now has made up his mind to let Chicken Eagle Society launch an independent serialized comic book as soon as possible.

Habits are really scary. He wants to introduce the correct long-term approach as soon as possible before readers in this world develop the habit of reading comics in newspapers.

In fact, it’s not that reading comics in newspapers is not good, it’s just that what platform should do what, after all, the main purpose of newspaper publishing is not to serialize comics.In the future, if the Asahi Shimbun suddenly decides to stop operating the literature and art section, wouldn't everything he has done before be in vain?

So ah...the right to decide to serialize is not in your own hands after all...

The transfer of the serial platform should not be too hasty or hasty, it must be done step by step and slowly.

Jiang Hao already had a somewhat definite plan and intention in his heart.

****

After the release of the first chapter of Ghost Slayer: Blade, the response was not great. Many readers who followed Spirited Away just said to watch it again, and no one said it was good or bad for the time being.

At present, this situation is still in Jiang Hao's expectation, or even if it is still like this a month later, Jiang Hao doesn't think it is too strange.

Demon Slayer: Blade is originally a slow-paced work. The cannon fodder ghosts that appeared in the front are all slowly introducing the background and setting of the story. After the appearance of the twelve ghost moons, the story begins.

However, Jiang Hao doesn't have much interest in manga serialization right now, because the registration for the training camp held by Mr. Yamashita Yumi has already started.

It is not surprising at all, because there are too many applicants, but the number of places is very limited, so before the official start of the training camp, all those who want to participate must show their drawing ability.

After all, they are all professional training activities held by well-known artists. Forget about the kind of parents who plan to bring their sons who love painting to participate. …

The selection criteria are very simple. Those who want to participate can show their understanding of painting and art in any form.

It seems that the terms are very loose, almost none, but it is precisely because of this that it becomes extremely difficult.

What the teacher looks at is the hard skills, the understanding of art and color, or the untapped potential... There are so many things to choose from.

Jiang Hao himself thought a lot.

He doesn't have any particular painting method, because he is very good at all of them!

Whether it is sketch, color lead, watercolor, traditional Chinese painting, oil painting, acrylic......

All are what he is good at.

However, this also brings a new problem, he has no way to decide what to use for painting according to his own strength.

Sure enough, we can only start with the existing tools!

There is no oil paint or acrylic paint in Jiang Hao's family. The only thing he owns is a row of marker pens.

There is no other way... In the end, I still used local materials...

...

........

When Jiang Hao was working hard to prepare for the training camp, there was the latest news on the Internet.

Because Spirited Away's physical comics and Demon Slayer: Blade were released independently by Chicken Eagle Club, so Jiang Hao just completed the online information a while ago.

There is no way... According to the logic, the company of Jiying Club is Jiang Hao's current residence, so he can't write the company address in some deep mountain and old forest, right?

Since there is no detailed company address, other things have to be placed on it properly, otherwise people may think that this is some kind of shell company, but in fact it seems to be more or less like this...

Anyway, all in all, something else has to be done.

For example, who is the founder of the company, there is really no need to hide it.

On Wikipedia, Jiang Hao's name is written in the founder column of Chicken Eagle Society, and a photo of Jiang Hao's life that he took a temporary self-portrait is attached.

Although everything seems so sloppy, the information is still perfect anyway.

Because of the serialization of Ghost Slayer: Blade and the popular sale of Spirited Away comics, the search volume for the three words Chiyingsha continues to increase these days.

The more people who know, the more things will naturally happen........

Teraki Kyoko: "Isn't this the assistant of Mr. Hayao Miyazaki and Mr. Goshiharu?"

Mori Ogai: "Isn't this Jiang Haojun who lives very frugally?"

Netizens: "Isn't this the beautiful boy drawing in the park?!"

——So you turned out to be a president? !
