There is actually a reason why Shinnoshi has many fans.

It is mainly because "Aversion to Cold" is a horror comic, and most of its readers are boys, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the ratio of men and women is serious imbalanced.

In addition, Kumamoto Kuma originally belongs to the mascot that kills both men and women... Of course, this will also bring some male fans to Higashinoji to a certain extent... It is not an exaggeration to say that adding a man to a man.

Therefore, Higashinoji has many male fans... Although it is not enough to crush female fans, when they see that those who hold up the signs are all male fans, and girls only account for a part of them, Higashinoji couldn't help but sigh-

He is good-looking and does whatever he wants. Not only does he not let go of girls, but he can also grasp it.

He smiled and nodded to the fan group, then turned sideways, moved away from one position, and took photos of the media reporters.

Walking into the venue, Higashinoji, led by the staff, put a corsage on his chest to show his identity, and found his place to sit down, and glanced at him.

This time, the Ministry of Culture and Culture borrowed the medium-sized theater of the National New Theater of Japan, but even the medium-sized theater is already very large.

The densely packed chairs lined up, and a rough look at it was about a thousand seats. The interior decoration was not as gorgeous, but it was enough to be called decent.

It’s no wonder that the Ministry of Culture and Culture wants to use this venue.

Higashinoji just took a quick look and then withdrew his gaze. He was very calm, and he was not as excited and nervous as some of the winners around him, so he took deep breaths.

After all, he was already excited when he received the news, and now he has already adjusted his mindset.

This year's Japanese Minister of Science Award belongs to the 55th session.

It is mainly to reward art workers who have outstanding achievements in eleven fields such as drama, movie, music, dance, literature, art, television, popular art, media art, etc.

The main awards are the Minister of Science Award of the Ministry of Culture, Culture, Science and Technology Award and the Newcomer Award.

The award Higashinoji was the authentic Minister of Science Award of the Ministry of Culture and Culture, while the newcomer award was similar to the same award as the encouragement, awarded to newcomers who were just starting out.

The entire award presentation process is not complicated, but rather a bit the same.

It’s nothing more than walking on the red carpet, going on stage to receive the award, and then saying a few irrelevant words, indicating that you will still actively devote yourself to art.

A TV drama actor walked onto the stage excitedly. After receiving the certificate, he even burst into tears on the podium, saying that he had called his mother, and the other party was watching himself on TV... Being able to win such an award can be considered as filial piety.

This kind of accent of "music is my lifelong dream, and my parents died since I was a child" also made Higashinoji a little funny... Sure enough, no matter which world he is in, selling misery seems to be the best way to boost popularity.

There is no suspense about this award ceremony, because the provincial capital of the Ministry of Culture and Culture announced the list of winners in advance in advance. Everyone will write down what awards they have won because of what awards they have won. Therefore, when the host reads the name above, everyone knows in their hearts.

People who envy are still quite envious - Damn, why did I win the Newcomer Award? That guy won the Minister of the Ministry of Culture?

But even so, you still have to smile when it’s time to applaud and smile. You can’t lose your demeanor in such public places.

Higashinoji had no feelings about this, and felt that the entire award ceremony was a bit boring, and there was no one around who could talk to him, so he was about to withdraw his eyes and rest assured.

"Sorry, are you the author of "Midnight Bell" Higashino?"

A sound suddenly came from beside him.

This made Higashinoji look curiously following the sound.

Sitting next to him was a man in his thirties with his name Ozawada, the corsage on his chest, and he won an award from the Media Arts Department.

And I have to say...

This name Higashinoji has an impression - isn't this the comic author of Iwakatsu Publishing House?

As mentioned earlier, Ken Komori is one of the authors of the pillars of Iwakao Publishing House. The robot comics he drew fascinated many comic readers.

Another pillar author of Iwakatsu Publishing House is Ozawada in front of Higashinoji.

He has more than ten years of experience in serializing comics and just finished the serialized comics for eight years ago.

If Ken Komori is the No. 2 thug, then his fame and strength are enough to be called the No. 1 thug of Iwakao Publishing House - he has long dominated the top spot in the list of the Gongxin O list.

The sales of the credible list volumes have been going on for many years, and there have been many comic geniuses, and many comic geniuses have gone on. But the only thing that remains unchanged is that he is, whether it is first or second, he can always hover on the credible list.

That is, Ozawada's work is over, otherwise Higashinoji might have to meet him.

This is a general from the enemy publishing house, and his relationship with Higashinoji should be considered a tit-for-tat to Mai Mang.

After all, many industry insiders know about Ken Komori Komori's last time in the ring.

But since the other party took the initiative to say hello, Higashinoji naturally would not lose his manners, so he nodded and replied immediately.

"I am Higashinoji, Mr. Ozawa, and I have long admired Daname."

This sentence is sincere.

Recently, Iwakatsu Publishing House has vaguely wanted to make Ozawada the father of Japanese comics. At that time, the slogans seemed to have been thought of, but for some reasons, the publicity in this regard was shelved.

As for whether the other party came over to fight because of the publishing house...

In this regard, Higashinoji is not at all. Although Ozawada is considered a senior, he still doesn’t know who will win if he fights - whether it is a real person or a competition in terms of grades.

"Teacher Higashino, you are welcome. I am watching all your works "Midnight Bell", "The Winner Is Justice" and "The Lonely Foodie", and they are indeed very good works."

Ozawada praised him, "Congratulations on winning the award from the art planning department this time."

"Congratulations to Mr. Ozawada for winning the Media Art Award."

Higashinoji smiled and nodded. The other party's media art award should be an award for comics.

After all, eight years of accumulation, let alone the Internet was not so developed in 1996, it was completely the world of print and television media... Ozawada had a great advantage, and it was natural to win this award.

"It's thanks to the accumulation of time." Ozawada did not mean to be aggressive, but was a little kind: "I took the initiative to talk to him, actually I want to tell Teacher Higashino... Iwakao Publishing House and Mochi Bookstore have already started to formulate some countermeasures for you."

"Countermeasure?" Higashinoji was a little stunned, he could see clearly.

Although my reputation is rising and my career is rising, it is not a big deal if I get involved in the capital stakes behind these big publishing houses... Why did the other party suddenly formulate countermeasures?

It shouldn't be so mobilized.

"Well... Teacher Higashino has just entered the industry for a year, so it's natural to not know some secret situations in the industry." Ozawada smiled and explained the specific situation to Higashinoji.

There are different capitals behind the three major comics clubs. Among them, Mochi Bookstore and Urashima Publishing House monopolize the publication of Japanese high school to primary school books. This aspect will not be fixed, and there will basically be no large changes in share.

But comics and magazines are different. As the most popular paper communication carrier among young people, the three major societies attach great importance to the development of this area, and the competition between them is actually very fierce.

However, this fierce competition has changed dramatically after the merger of Mozhu Bookstore and Iwakao Publishing House.

"When Mr. Suzuki Hachi left, it actually had an impact on Urashima Publishing House, but its impact would definitely not be too great."

Ozawada whispered: "Just a pillar author's departure will at most affect some sales, but it will not make Urashima Publishing House's "Qi" fall out of the ranks of the three major comics publishing houses."

The meaning of his words was already very clear, and Higashinoji understood it.

The reason why Urashima Publishing House was in a dilemma last year was not just because Suzuki Ha left, but the capital operation behind Iwakao Publishing House and Mochi Bookstore.

"Originally, "Aversion of Cold" was indeed going to fall out of the ranks of three major comic magazines. The specific plan was to step down Urashima Publishing House. Fuji Publishing House, which had weak competitiveness and influence, occupied the position of Urashima Publishing House. However, Teacher Higashino suddenly appeared, which somewhat alleviated the situation... At least the sales of "Aversion of Cold" gradually began to warm up."

Ozawada sighed: "In this case, they will naturally give you some strategies for Teacher Higashino?"

Tonoji Higashi pinched his chin and nodded in response to Ozawada's words.

If he is from Iwakao Publishing House or Mozu Bookstore, of course he will also care a little about the disruptor...

Then it is necessary to come up with some wrong measures against Higashinoji.

But it's very strange...

"Is there any reason for Mr. Ozawa to tell me about these things?"

Higashinoji looked at Ozawada and asked what he cared about.

Yes, shouldn’t Ozawada be the thug of Iwakatsu Publishing House?

He actually revealed such important information to his competitor?

"Haha, they are fighting for them. Our group of comic authors who only draw comics have no deep hatred. At most, they just compromise on serialization. It doesn't matter much to tell you."

Ozawada smiled: "I am really a fan of Mr. Higashino. "Midnight Bell" and "The Winner is Justice" are both works that refresh me."

After he said this, Higashinoji nodded, which was acceptable.

Because this is true - the publisher's affairs belong to the publisher's affairs, how much does it have to do with him, Ozawada? You can't really make the relationship awkward, right?

In addition, he was indeed happy with Higashinoji's comic book writer who was killed by Higashinori all the way, so of course he had to take the initiative to sort out the powerful relationship for him.

Before he could finish his thoughts, he heard Higashiji next to him speak: "In other words, Teacher Ozawa is going to compete with me in the next new comic series?"

"Teacher Higashino is really smart... Well, I will release this new comic. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be serialized at the same time as your new comic." Ozawada had no intention of hiding it.

As early as when he said, "At most, he would compromise on serialization," he actually had a hidden reminder.

"In fact, it's not just me who wants to compete with you, but also the same sci-fi manga teacher Sakamoto at the Mochi Bookstore... At that time, many people will probably be the same as Mr. Higashino."

Ozawada's performance was very generous and had no intention of hiding it.

Higashinoji also understands his thoughts very well - manga is a matter of quality, and there are very few fans who can really retain it.

If Higashinoji comes up with a work that is better than them, Higashinoji will crush them. If they come up with a work that is better than Higashinoji, they will be able to beat Higashinoji to a bruised face... That's how realistic it is.

Even if it is as powerful as "Naruto", the subsequent legend "Boruto" has a bad animation quality, which has attracted a lot of criticism.

However... the two major publishing houses took the initiative to let the author of the pillars of our club fight with him... This is too much face, right? I feel that the time will be killed and you will be injured.

"I don't think that Teacher Ozawa wants to participate. Is it the publisher forced him?" Higashinoji took a sip of the Yulu tea prepared in the venue, and felt that it was not much different from ordinary tea.

"It's not considered a forced force. Yamano, the editor-in-chief of Iwakao Publishing House, was my former editor. I have kindness to me, so of course I have to repay this kind of kindness... and competition is not bad for the overall comics industry."

Ozawada answered Higashinoji's question rationally: "Most of the comics nowadays are the same robotic comics... To be honest, this kind of deformed development is not good for the overall situation. The comic authors are too comfortable and don't think about new things at all."
To be continued...
