After knocking on the door gently, the door opened and a delicate middle-aged man walked out.

After saying a few words to the front desk lady who was not worthy of having a name, Junto Kinoshita smiled dryly at Fangyuan and asked, "Are you Fujii Fangyuan?"

"Yes, Mr. Kinoshita, please give me some advice."

Junto Kinoshita smiled. This time his smile became a little warmer. Maybe it was because he saw the late Fangyuan and his arrogant image in his imagination.

He took Fang Yuan to the third floor where he left the editorial department. There were many small rooms on this floor, some of which were not closed. From the outside, you could see the scene inside.

There was no special decoration in the room, only a few stools and a round table. After a rough count, I found that there were not many such rooms.

"You said that such a storyboard is not good, so what should I do?"

"If you even ask me this, what qualifications do you have to stay here?"

"Please, please teach me!"

"Your settings are too old-fashioned. You can see the contents of the next page when you look at the first page!"

When passing one of the rooms with the door closed, a fierce sound came from inside. Junto Kinoshita paused for a moment, and after finding that there was no problem, he continued to lead the way.

After arriving at a small room where no one was around, Kinoshita Junto guided Fang Yuan into it, and then he walked straight to the stool and sat down.

After sitting down, Junto Kinoshita said, "Even if you are a small job, you should not be underestimated. Maybe you think this job is very humble, right? But to be honest, there are many people who want to get close to the editorial department. Even for such cleaning and cleaning, there are dozens of people who want to grab it."

After a brief pause, Jun Teng Kinoshita continued: "Your father and I are old friends. When the weekly comic jump was just starting, your grandfather was one of the first bookstores to accept the sale of weekly comic jumps. We have always remembered this friendship in our hearts. I heard your father say that you have the ambition to become a cartoonist and want to learn more here. Since that's the case, I hope you can cheer up."

What do you think is damn?

Holding me here is just a lesson. Many people snatch the jobs that are also done by chores. Do you think you are taking pictures of Tang Bohu and snatching the trash cans, and a bunch of people snatching the hen picture to throw it into the trash can?

Don’t you know that I am a systematic person now, and I am afraid of the peak of my life?

Although I was chaotic in my heart, I was still inappropriate when I was late. Fang Yuan was still polite to express his apology and gratitude to this "good friend" I had never heard my father say.

"Come with me, let me tell you about your scope of work."

Kinoshita stood up, opened the door and said to Fang Yuan.

But when the other party was about to walk out, Fang Yuan said politely: "Mr. Kinoshita, I was really touched by your permission to work here. However, the weekly comic jump is too impractical for me. I thought about it and studying here is not suitable for me. I should go to a more basic place to hone my number first."

There was some unexpected look in Kinoshita's eyes. He looked at Fang Yuan seriously and didn't speak for a while.

Just when Fang Yuan thought the other party would slander him, he didn't expect that the other party would encourage him: "Although you have never seen your paintings and don't know what your comic talent is, if you draw a manuscript that you are satisfied with in the future, you can come to me. Even if you fail at the beginning, don't give up easily, unless you are sure that you don't have this talent."

"Of course, Mr. Kinoshita, thank you very much for your encouragement."

Fang Yuan was a little surprised. It seemed that this guy was not bad by nature. The blame just now was not directed at him, but about saying something and not doing things.

Since Fang Yuan said that he didn't want this job, Kinoshita felt that there was no need to say more.

He told Fang Yuan that he could visit the editorial department without disturbing others' normal work, and then left.

He has a low status in the editorial department and does have a good relationship with Fang Yuan's father, otherwise he would not have come to receive Fang Yuan, a handyman.

Fang Yuan didn't think it would be a pity to give up this job. With his golden finger, his advantage is unparalleled.

At least this is true in the comics line, he knows this clearly, and of course you who read this book also know it.

However, as an adult, he is now thinking about how to transform all these advantages into real benefits.

It is now 1983, and he has confirmed that there are no major cartoonists he is familiar with here, let alone their works.

Weekly comic jump is now the king of the industry. Last month, the local sales exceeded 3.3 million copies, overseas China sold 1.3 million copies, Southeast Asia 2 million copies, and 500,000 copies of the giants in Europe and the United States can be said to occupy half of the prosperous island comic industry.

The weekly comics magazine and weekly comics ranked behind are 1.4 million copies, 1.1 million copies in China, 1.1 million copies in Southeast Asia, and 350,000 copies in Europe and the United States.

Weekly comics sunday have 1.2 million copies of local, 1.05 million copies of China, 900,000 copies of Southeast Asia, and 400,000 copies of Europe and America.

The weekly comic dream, which just became the top four, was the weakest. Its local sales did not even exceed one million, with only 760,000 copies. If it weren't for the sales of 1.01 million, Southeast Asia 900,000 copies, and 100,000 copies in Europe and the United States, it would not be comparable to the other three companies at all.

In other words, jump's current total sales volume is about 7.1 million, magazine's 3.95 million copies, sunday's 3.35 million copies, and dream's only 2.77 million copies, which can be said to be very obvious.

According to the choice of most cartoonists and quasi-comic artists, the first choice is of course jump.

After all, serializing works on a platform with 7.1 million readers can make your body tremble just by thinking.

However, for Fang Yuan, the appeal of joining jump is not as great as other cartoonists.

As a junior who was established nearly ten years later than magazine and sunday, jump has counterattacked as the king of the industry, and of course it was not done by verbal tricks.

It depends on a devilish elimination system, and the intensity of competition is difficult to express in words.

Only the first and second place in their sub-blogs have the chance to be serialized in the main publication.

The capacity of a weekly magazine is so large, and some people go to it, of course, some people go to it.

The twenty works in jump are ranked according to points. The first place in the week has 15 points, the second place has 12 points, the third place has 10 points, and then the fourth to tenth places are 5 points, the eleventh to fifteenth places are 3 points, while the fifteenth to seventeenth places are 2 points, and the last three places are only 1 point.

It will rank once every 2 weeks, and after two consecutive rounds of three, you will be warned, giving two weeks to improve quality.

If you are still ranked last three in the next two selections, you will choose the three worst works and end them directly, so that the newcomers can top them.

It sounds quite cruel, but this is one of the reasons why jump can be the first in the industry. The cruel competition is selected, of course, among the elites in the industry.

In addition, responsible editors, various training methods, relatively fair systems, etc.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Of course, there are disadvantages. If you have big jump stores, you will bully customers. Although the works that were cut in half are miserable, the works that are popular also have "happiness worries".

Many times, when the popular works come to the end, it is no longer the cartoonist's turn to decide the fate of his works.

This situation is already very common among the large group of cartoonists, and there have never been such demigod-level cartoonists and works in this world island country.

Due to various interests, many popular works were dragged to the end.

Except for works like Conan, any royal work will face the problem of expanding combat power and repetition of plots in the later stages.

If it cannot be completed, you can only create new enemies over and over again. In the end, readers can only finish after being tired of abandoning them.

For a cartoonist, that state is almost the same as the oil is exhausted and the light is gone.
