"Is that so..." Itou Shuichi nodded to express his understanding.

The driver took the two of them to the familiar black box building. It was the first time for Shuichi Itou to come here, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"The headquarters of Shogakukan, how..."

"It looks just like a coffin, right?"

"I wanted to talk about the safe..."

The two walked into the hall while chatting and laughing. Naoki Nagayama naturally saw the bespectacled Reiki Nozawa who was on duty at a glance. She seemed to be reading some strange novel...

"Lingxi-san!"

Nozawa Reiki raised her head and saw Naoki Nagayama coming, and immediately said in surprise:

"Naoki-san, why did you come here today?"

"I need to show some things to Kunji-san, so I didn't make an appointment in advance..." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Is Kunji-san here?"

"Hey, he's in the office!" Reiki Nozawa immediately led Naoki Nagayama towards the reception room, "Naoki-san, please wait a moment, I'll invite him over right away..."

"Arigado~"

After Nozawa Reiki made tea and left, Itou Shuichi said:

"Naoki-san, you are really familiar with Shogakukan! We can also directly let "Weekly Shonen Sunday" publish our comics, which is very honorable!"

"Xiu Yisang, if you can be the top seller of a company for several consecutive years, you will also have a lot of face in the company!"

A well-known writer like Nagayama Naoki basically publishes a best-selling novel every year, contributing almost one-fifth of Shogakukan's annual quota. If he wants to change jobs and come to Shogakukan, the position of chief editor will be given to him.

"Hahaha~"

While Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou were chatting, Kuniji Morikawa came down in a hurry.

"Naoki-san...why did you come here today?"

"Ah...it's the manga I mentioned before. It's already been drawn!" Naoki Nagayama handed the document bag containing the drawings to Kuniji Morikawa, "So I couldn't wait to send it over."

"Also...this is Shuichi Itou, the head of Shuyou Studio. From now on, he will be in charge of the comics work..."

"Shuichi Itou..." Kuniji Morikawa didn't react at all, "This...isn't this Director Itou?!"

Itou Shuichi is a great director who has won the Blue Ribbon Award for Best Director, so how can he take care of a small comic matter?!

"Haha, it's me! Itou Shuichi~" Itou Shuichi stood up, stretched out his hand and shook Morikawa Kuniji, "This is our first meeting, please give us your advice in the future."

"Hi, I'm Kuniji Morikawa...please give me your advice."

Kuniji Morikawa didn't look at the document in his hand, but still said in surprise,

"Director Yitang, will you start drawing comics in the future?"

"Haha, no, no..." Itou Shuichi has been asked by many people during this period, and he has a standard answer, "Shuyou now wants to expand the field of animated films, and I am actually taking the lead in this new project...

.... Comics are just our first attempt at animation...."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Is that so...it turns out to be an attempt!"

Kuniji Morikawa seemed to accept this explanation. He took out "Slam Dunk" and looked at it.

""Slam Dunk"... is indeed a sports show..."

However, he did not continue reading, but said to Nagayama Naoki:

"Naoki-san, I'm not a manga editor after all. Please wait a moment. I'll let the editor of "Weekly Shōnen Sunday" take a look at it. Don't worry, it can definitely be published. I just want to see if there are any adjustments that need to be made...

"

"Okay, we're not in a hurry..." Naoki Nagayama nodded.

Kuniji Morikawa put down his document bag and went out. After a while, he led a middle-aged man wearing glasses over:

"Naoki-san, this is Yushi Morimoto, the editor-in-chief of "Weekly Shōnen Sunday"..."

"First meeting, I am Yushi Morimoto..."

Morimoto Yushi introduced himself very gently,

“It’s our first time meeting you, so please give me some advice!”

In fact, he didn't want to come, because as the comics editor, he has always had high requirements for the comics published in "Weekly Shōnen Sunday"...

But you, Kuniji Morikawa, said that this work is the work of a big shot and must be published in a comic magazine. You also pressured yourself with an order that the editor-in-chief had already agreed to, so you had to come over.

But after seeing the two people in the reception room, he was also surprised...

"First meeting, I am Naoki Nagayama..."

"First time we meet, I am Itou Shuichi..."

These two people are both well-known figures in the entertainment industry, and Naoki Nagayama is a great talent who is a director, writer, and musician...Why, does he still want to try his luck in the comics industry?

?!

"Editor-in-Chief Morimoto, this is the work of Shuyu Studio...I took a look at it and it is very excellent..."

Kuniji Morikawa naturally introduced the drawings sent by Naoki Nagayama very enthusiastically.

“It will definitely be popular in our magazine!”

".....let me take a look...."

Morimoto Yushi took the manuscript and started reading it, flipping through them one by one. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Nagayama Naoki with surprised eyes.

"Has Nagayama-san also studied drawing comics?"

"Ah... this is not my manga." Nagayama Naoki explained, "It is the work of Shuyu Studio, and the main writers are Aoyama Gosho and Togashi Yoshihiro..."

"Gosho Aoyama....Yoshihiro Togashi...."

Yushi Morimoto is familiar with most of the neon cartoonists, but these two seem to be unknown...

"Have any of them won the Newcomer Award?"

"Not yet..."

Nagayama Naoki shook his head. The two of them were recruited by him before they debuted, but Gosho Aoyama did work as an assistant in Yutaka Abe's studio.

"Ah, I see..." Yushi Morimoto was not surprised. There were too many cartoonists in Neon, and many talented ones were buried.

He was browsing "Slam Dunk" intently. He had to admit that it was a very good comedy sports show. It was very interesting in terms of painting style and character plot... and it also had the editor-in-chief of Shogakukan.

Order.....

"Nagayama-san...there is absolutely no problem with this manga being serialized in Weekly Shōnen Sunday!"

After Yushi Morimoto closed the manuscript, he promised to publish it.

“Can Shuyou Studio provide a stable supply of articles every week?”

"No problem!" Itou Shuichi said happily, "In fact, I have already started drawing Chapter 5!"

"Is it so fast?" Yushi Morimoto reminded, "I suggest you slow down a bit. After the comic is published, you will receive feedback from readers, and there may be some modifications to the plot or characters... As a creator,

Need to adjust in time!”

"Hey, I got it!"

Yi Tangxiu nodded repeatedly.

"Since there are no other problems..." Morimoto Yushi is also a decisive person, "then when we meet again next time, we will prepare to sign a contract..."

"Hey, we will bring the official seal!"

As for the contract... A pure newcomer originally had no capital to negotiate terms, but after all, it was Naoki Nagayama's face, and the comics were very good, so Morimoto Yushi decided to sign the contract with the highest remuneration.

After continuing to chat for a while, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou left the Shogakukan.

"I didn't expect that the negotiation would be so simple..."

"Originally, in the comics industry, cartoonists first became famous and then established studios. Instead, we did it the other way around..."

Nagayama Naoki smiled and said, people like Tezuka Osamu, Abe Yutaka, and Miyazaki Hayao are all like this. They first create famous works and then create studios.

"Hahaha, we have one too, isn't Naoki-san famous?!"

Itou Shuichi laughed and teased,

"After all, I am also a celebrity!"

"..." are not from the comics industry!

Nagayama Naoki shook his head and warned:

"From now on, I have to come here every week to submit my manuscript... Don't forget Xiu Yi-san..."

"I won't forget it!" Itou Shuichi replied, "I also want to see "Slam Dunk" become a manga popular among the people!"

"So confident?"

Itou Shuichi looked at Nagayama Naoki with confidence:

"Because it's Naoki-san's idea, it will definitely be very popular!"
