God Descends the Second Element

Comics were about to be cut in half. Who cared about enthusiasm or not at that time?

Although clichés are a big problem, if there were no clichés, this comic would not even have any problems.

Why is it okay? Because he was cut in half directly!

This is very sad, but equally true, people have to admit that this is a cruel industry.

If you want to survive here, you must have the corresponding talents. It is most appropriate to eat the weak and the strong here.

There are only 20 serialization slots in Weekly Jump, and generally only the first-place newcomer will be eligible for official serialization.

This series is not just a series. Every time a new person appears in the first place, it means that one of the comics in the weekly jump will be cut in half.

Of course, it doesn't mean that newcomers who come first will be serialized. Shueisha is relatively humane. Works ranked at the bottom of the weekly jump will not be cut in half as long as they are not ranked in that position several times in a row.

As for the first place newcomer, it will be arranged to be serialized in other comic magazines under Shueisha.

There is another way, that is, your comics can shock the entire editorial department, and the editorial department will definitely open the door without hesitation. This is what Longzhu has done.

"I believe everyone should have a rough idea of ​​the bad news I'm about to say, right?"

Horiuchi Marue asked everyone calmly. No one answered him, but the atmosphere was a little more serious.

He stretched out his fingers and tapped the table gently, and the steady tapping sound resounded throughout the conference room. The rhythm was not fast and slow, but it made most people sweat.

After about three minutes, Horiuchi Marue seemed to feel that no one would stand up and answer if he waited any longer. He then retracted his hand, put his hands on his chin, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that no one was overwhelmed by the good news. First, last week’s weekly jump sales totaled 2.2 million. When Death was being serialized, our sales were about 2 million. Do you think that after seeing a full increase of 200,000 last week, you think everything will be smooth sailing?”

No one answered him, and Horiuchi Marue didn't feel surprised. The entire conference room seemed to be his own speech. Horiuchi Marue didn't care at all. "If you have this idea, then I suggest you do it now." Go back to your place of work, pack your bags and get out, you can tell others that I abused my power or something like that.”

"President..."

There was an editor present who smiled bitterly. When Horiuchi Marue heard this, he suddenly felt like a cat with fried fur. He reached out and slapped the table hard, shouted angrily: "President, President, who is the president? In your eyes, Do you still know that I am the president here?!

There has been no movement at all from last week to now about the things I explained! Until now, you are still standing still. Do you know that when you did nothing, our entire Shueisha wasted another precious week?

If anyone doesn’t want to do this job and just resign, I will approve it on the spot. Our company does not support idlers! "

Horiuchi Marue's roar echoed in the ears of everyone present. The one who was most helpless to cry was the editor who had just spoken.

He just shouted the word "president" in a normal way, but he didn't expect to be faced with a storm. However, even though his face turned green and red, he did not dare to contradict the angry Horiuchi Marue in person, so he had to pinch his nose. admit.

It should be said that no one present dared to offend the angry president at this time, so they took advantage of the situation and gave him a step down.

Everyone present believed that after venting his anger, Horiuchi Marue would be less angry, so everyone could only look with sympathy at the editor who had the courage to stand up just now.

Sure enough, after taking advantage of the momentum to speak out these words that he had been holding in his heart, Horiuchi Marue's depressed mood finally improved a little, but his face was still gloomy, and he said with a solemn face: "Wait until Teacher Yoshihiro Togashi stops publishing. At that time, the sales volume of our weekly jump, not to mention 2.2 million, would probably drop directly to 1 million, so I hope everyone can work more seriously in the future, and don't sit in the office all day and just think that there is a newcomer with a phenomenal comic to submit. , since no one has submitted a phenomenal comic, then all of them should go out and look for it, and if they can’t find it, don’t come back, do you understand?!”

"Understood!!"

Everyone responded in unison. They all knew that Horiuchi Marue was not joking this time. If things really messed up, life would not be so easy by then, but they were really not used to it.

In fact, it is normal for editors in the comics industry to go out to look for newcomers. Some editors-in-chief of comic magazines even go out to recruit newcomers themselves.

But Shueisha is different after all. Except for a few well-known Tarzan Hokuto-level figures in the industry, the editors of the Weekly Jump editorial department will not look for newcomers or poach, because Neon cartoonists all over the country and even around the world will automatically Come and contribute.

As editors of Shueisha, they only need to sit in the office and select comics one by one. If they find a suitable one, they can check the contact information in the email.

After the author and editor of the work have a face-to-face conversation, it does not mean that the new cartoonist is 100% qualified to be serialized in a comic magazine.

During this period, the editor will also observe the cartoonist's behavior and conversation. If he is the type who does not listen to advice, he will most likely choose to give up directly.

However, Shueisha, which is currently facing a big crisis, cannot control so many 3721s. Although they know that they personally go out to find new people, it is unlikely to find phenomenal comics, but for now they can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. What if the blind cat encounters a dead mouse?

Hearing this, Horiuchi Marue's face softened, and his tone softened, "I may have spoken a bit harshly just now, and I hope everyone can forgive me.

But now there is only this stupid way that can increase the probability by one more point. If we just wait until the end of time without doing anything, then everyone will know the consequences. As long as whoever can make a contribution this time, we will not be stingy with rewards. I believe that the headquarters They will also be remembered there. "

Adding candy to a stick is a very common method in the workplace, but it has been tried and tested and often easily motivates employees to be motivated.

Hearing the word "headquarters", many people present showed some unusual expressions, even Ayano Iida was no exception. Only editor-in-chief Matsumoto and deputy editor-in-chief Kitahara looked normal.

Horiuchi Marue smiled slightly when he saw this, turned to look at Iida Ayano and said: "Editor-in-Chief Iida, you don't need to pay attention to Kamushi-sensei. I believe everyone is aware of this problem, and we can only give up on Kamushi-sensei for now.

Therefore, Editor-in-Chief Iida only needs to increase his efforts recently to find potential newcomers and focus on training Mr. Mashiro Shiina. "
