Chapter 133. Higashino is really a wild horse (4000 words!)(2/2)
.......
"What's going on in the new chapter of "Midnight Ring"? Does Mr. Higashino want to finish the book?"
At this time, the editors in Urashima Editorial Office were also talking about it.
Professional editors like them basically won't discuss other comics too much.
But now "The Ring" has become the signature of Urashima Publishing House.
Moreover, most of them have also been frightened by "The Ring", and this comic is half-baked to them.
Now that this 'half cub' has suddenly caused such a big discussion, of course they will be more or less concerned about it.
They glanced at Koharu Hosokawa standing in front of Editor-in-Chief Urashima, and also curiously pricked up their ears, wanting to know first-hand information about "The Ring".
"Editor Hosokawa, did Mr. Higashino mention to you before that he wanted to finish "The Ring"?"
Editor-in-chief Urashima asked Hosokawa Koharu.
"I mentioned to me once before about the completion of "The Ring"."
Hosokawa Koharu hesitated for a while and then said: "But Teacher Higashino still smiled and casually mentioned it to me, so I didn't take it to heart."
Yes, at that time Higashinoji just said it casually, and Hosokawa Koharu just listened casually.
Who knew that the other party would actually start to finish it.
"Really...?"
Editor-in-Chief Urashima pondered for a while, and then took a look at the new chapter of "The Ring" in the new issue.
He decided to make a phone call to Higashinoji in person and inquire about the other party's specific situation.
The phone only rang twice before it was connected.
"Hello? Is this Mr. Higashino? I'm the editor-in-chief of Urashima Editorial Office... Well, I have some questions to ask you about the serialization of "Midnight Ring"."
Editor-in-chief Urashima started talking with Higashinoji.
"Really? Is that so? But Mr. Higashino, do you really plan to continue serializing it? The sales of the first volume of "Midnight Ring" have exceeded 400,000 copies. If this momentum continues, it will not be difficult to make it into a movie. It's really not difficult.
Have you considered continuing the series?"
"Yeah...Okay, I understand, I'm disturbing you. I'm looking forward to your new work in the future."
Editor-in-chief Urashima hung up the phone, looking helpless.
"How's it going? Editor-in-chief Urashima?" Hosokawa Koharu next to him asked softly.
"What else can we do?" Editor-in-Chief Urashima shook his head: "Teacher Higashino strongly demands that the book be completed, and even if it is turned into a movie or animation, he cannot suppress his ideas."
He was a little confused as he talked, and he was very puzzled: "This teacher Higashino is really weird..."
Yes.
Higashinoji's choice is too strange.
Other manga authors were eager to maintain serialization even if their works were not popular. However, Higashinoji took the initiative and asked to finish a currently popular work.
This is something that Chief Editor Urashima has never heard of.
But——Chief Editor Urashima actually understands Higashinoji somehow.
Because after he watched the latest episode of "Midnight Ring", he suddenly had this thought - the plot of "Midnight Ring" is so exciting, it would be a pity if it wasn't the finale.
"But it's so easy to cultivate the pillar comics..."
Editor-in-chief Urashima really felt like he was going to have a mental breakdown.
I finally found a Higashinoji to use as a pillar...and then you suddenly told me that it was going to end?
Editor-in-chief Urashima couldn't accept it for a while.
But he can understand Higashinoji.
The plot length of "The Ring" is about fifteen or six episodes.
If you expand it further, it will be a crested leopard tail.
So in the end, Editor-in-Chief Urashima approved Higashino Tsukasa’s permission to finish.
As his only request is——
Higashino Tsukasa must finish "Midnight Ring" in the most perfect way!
Yes... "The Ring" must become a masterpiece! A "masterpiece" that can stand up in the entire publishing history of "Cold"!
As for the criticism from the publishing house’s superiors...
Editor-in-chief Urashima rubbed his temples helplessly.
This... it's still up to him to withstand the pressure alone.
There is no way...
Who said our teacher Higashino is like a wild horse?
As a groom, he couldn't stand the other party, so he had no choice but to take the blame.
Chapter completed!
