Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 225 Hanyu Picture Book Award?
Outside the house in Chiyoda Ward.

Hideki Hanyu in his custom Mercedes S-Class.

The Lamborghini I bought earlier has been dusted in the garage.

That car looks cool too.

If we really want to talk about comfort, it is still comfortable to sit in this car.

The main reason is that this car does not require him to drive it himself, which also makes it convenient for him to do other things in the car.

For example, now, he put down the table in front of him, and kept writing and drawing on the notebook placed on the table.

Looking at the pencil outline on the paper in the notebook, it seems to be an arcade game machine.

Just looking at the shape, it is a little different from today's arcade machines.

The joysticks and multi-buttons on both sides of the console, as well as the tilted screen, are exactly like the mature arcade machines of later generations.

Yesterday, I came up with the idea of ​​making a next-generation arcade machine.

Hideki Hanyu has been thinking about what kind of arcade machine he wants to build.

Today I was going to go to the Xiaoshokan, but the assistant Uemura Reiko was late for some reason.

It’s okay to wait in the car, so he tried to write out the shape of the ideal arcade machine and the desired design parameters first.

In this way, after the start of research and development, at least the partners can have a clear goal when cooperating.

For example, the arcade frame provider of Elven Entertainment is a subsidiary of Oji Paper.

The screen has always been provided by Sharp.

Substrate chips and storage are again provided by Toshiba.

There are other small accessories, and there are even more suppliers involved.

So it seems to be just an arcade machine, but there are quite a few partners involved.

However, the headache for Hideki Hanyu is that the substrate is the most important thing if he wants to develop the next generation of arcade machines.

However, Elf Entertainment has limited technical reserves in this area.

Although taking advantage of the bad market, Elven Entertainment recruited a lot of hardware R&D personnel.

But if there is no technology accumulation, the development cycle will be quite long if we start from scratch and want to complete the replaceable card substrate he envisioned.

He wants to learn from SNK and jointly develop it with Alpha Electronics.

But the problem is that Alpha Electronics was only established in 1979, and now its main business is still various resistors.

A company that has just been established for more than four years may not be as good as Elf Entertainment in terms of research and development capabilities.

It's not good to start too early. The existing technological development can't give full play to his memory advantage.

For example, he has always wanted to make "Super Mario Bros."

But firstly, the software R&D team has insufficient reserves for horizontal scrolling clearance games.

Secondly, with the previous hardware level, it is impossible to realize the seemingly simple scrolling game of later generations.

Fortunately, after the training of "Knocking Ice" and "Kung Fu, Death Breakthrough", its studio finally has the accumulation of technology in this area.

After the research and development of "Dr. Mario" by Shinhwa Studios is completed, "Super Mario Bros." will be officially launched.

After all, we can’t wait any longer, as Nintendo’s sales of FC consoles are booming.

Shigeru Miyamoto, a genius-level game designer, must not be underestimated.

If it drags on, the other party will come up with another version of Super Mario Bros.

Thinking about a lot of things in his mind, his eyes fell on the notebook, which brought Hideki Hanyu's thoughts back to the development of the arcade.

If joint research and development is not possible, it can only be developed independently.

It doesn't matter if the time is slower, just to take advantage of the golden afterglow of the old-fashioned substrate, and finally make another profit.

And the technical goal at the beginning does not need to be a substrate with a replaceable game card slot.

It is entirely possible to set the standard of research and development goals lower.

A modular base plate, easy to replace and less expensive, is sufficient.

The most important thing is to open up the market first and formulate standards.

And when he was concentrating on how to set the goal of the arcade technology research and development stage, Marco in the driver's position suddenly said.

"Boss, Miss Uemura is here."

Hanyu Hideki heard this, and looked out of the car window.

He found Reiko Uemura just getting off a Mitsubishi on the side of the road.

The driver of the Mitsubishi was a young male.

After Uemura Reiko got off the car, the other party said a few words to Uemura Reiko with obvious concern.

Reiko Uemura also responded with a few words, with a rather intimate expression.

Then he hurried towards Hideki Hanyu's car.

"Mr. Hanyu, I'm very sorry that I'm late."

Uemura Reiko, who was sitting in the co-pilot of the Mercedes-Benz, apologized immediately.

Although it was because her boyfriend wanted to see him off, he was late because of a traffic jam on the road.

But Uemura Reiko didn't say it as an excuse.

Because she had worked with Hideki Hanyu for so long, she knew very well that Hideki Hanyu didn't like to listen to reasons.

If you make a mistake, you have made a mistake, just speak out openly and don't deliberately conceal it.

Hanyu Hideki is not the kind of person who would criticize his subordinates for a single mistake.

As long as he doesn't make principled mistakes, Hideki Hanyu is still very easy to speak.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I'm going to the primary school to deliver manuscripts, so there's nothing urgent about it."

Hideki Hanyu didn't care about Reiko Uemura being late.

On the contrary, he was more interested in the man who sent Uemura Reiko, and asked with a smile, "The one who sent Uemura-san today is her boyfriend, right?"

Reiko Uemura never expected that Hideki Hanyu would suddenly ask her about this matter.

Hearing the question, he was taken aback at first, and then nodded a little embarrassedly.

"Yes, we've only been dating for a week."

After speaking, he hurriedly emphasized, "Mr. Hanyu, don't worry, I won't affect my work just because I have a boyfriend."

After all, working as an assistant to Hideki Hanyu, in Uemura Reiko's opinion, is a rare job with "less work, more money, and a good boss", and she doesn't want to be affected by her love.

"Isn't it? It doesn't look like it today." Hideki Hanyu joked.

Uemura Reiko has been his assistant for so long, and the relationship can already be counted as a friend.

Reiko Uemura was introduced by Santomo Iijima at the beginning, and the two are also good friends in private.

If memory serves me correctly, both of them are five years older than him.

In this day and age, let alone falling in love, getting married is too late.

Uemura Reiko took the first step anyway.

However, Mitomo Iijima wholeheartedly regards Asako Hirohashi as an idol, rushing towards the path of a strong woman and never returning, there is no trace of love or anything.

In addition to Iijima Mitomo, Kitahara Eri is also the same.

But also understandable.

Today's neon women want to work hard after getting married. Asako Hirohashi is a good example.

Unless the husband's family is very enlightened, there is only one way to go: divorce.

And his joking naturally made Shangcun feel embarrassed for a while.

But Hanyu Hideki didn't say any more, but ordered Marco to drive away.

Although I am not in a hurry to submit the manuscript, after all, I have called in advance, and it is not good to go too late.

……

Elementary school building.

Although Hideki Hanyu has not been here for a while, the changes here are not big.

After finding the cooperation team and submitting the manuscripts of the four picture books, I planned to visit Masahiro Aiga.

As a result, before he could leave, he was stopped by the editor Maeda Zongyi who rushed over after hearing the news.

The guy looked at him resentfully.

"Mr. Hanyu, is there no manuscript for Miracle Dessert this time?"

Hideki Hanyu showed an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, I don't have the idea of ​​creating a fifth part for now."

"Then..." Maeda Zongyi wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Today's Hanyu Hideki's status is quite different from before.

Even if it is an editor's reminder, it is impossible to go too far.

After all, according to Hideki Hanyu's current income, even if he stops creating completely, his status and life will not be changed.

Those writers who are in the same situation as Hanyu Hideki will mostly reduce the number of creations.

And Hideki Hanyu was able to send four picture books in one go, which is definitely considered a high-yield.

Even if it is a small school, it is impossible to ask too much.

Seeing Soyoshi Maeda's hesitant expression, Hideki Hanyu knew without guessing that the sales of "Children's Literature and Art" magazine must have dropped again.

Thinking of the good cooperation with Soyoshi Maeda before, when Eri Kitahara resigned, the other party took the risk to tell him the reason.

Hanyu Hideki couldn't bear to see the other party like this.

Sighing, Hanyu Hideki told Maeda Soyoshi, "Before the end of the year, I will definitely hand over the manuscript of the fifth part of Miraculous Snack Shop to Maeda-san."

Maeda Muneyoshi's eyes lit up when he heard Hanyu Hideki's words, and he said excitedly.

"Great, Hanyu-sensei's fans will be very happy if they know this news."

This is not Maeda Soyoshi deliberately touting Hanyu Hideki.

The Magical Snack Shop is now the most popular fantasy book for neon teens.

There are even many adults who really like it.

On various most popular charts, the name of this work will never be missing.

After the serialization of the fourth part, I don't know how many book fans are looking forward to the fifth part.

However, there has been no definite news about the fifth serialization in Xiaoguan.

The Xiaoxiaoguan receives a lot of letters every week asking when the Miracle Snack Shop will be serialized.

Now Hideki Hanyu said to deliver the manuscript before the end of the year.

Then Maeda Zongyi can announce to the book fans that the fifth part of Magical Snack Shop will start serialization early next year.

As for whether Hideki Hanyu will keep his promise, Soyoshi Maeda is not worried at all.

After all, Hideki Hanyu's reputation is still very good. Although he pressed time to deliver the manuscript several times, he never broke his promise.

And just when Soyoshi Maeda was happy, Hideki Hanyu seemed to think of something.

"I have one more thing to ask Maeda-san."

"Mr. Hanyu, please tell me." Maeda Soyoshi said.

"I would like to ask the day before yesterday to help me sort out a list of popular romance novels," Hanyu Hideki said.

"Love novels, does Hanyu-san want to write such stories?"

Maeda Soyoshi was a little surprised, wondering if Hanyu Hideki was going to transform again.

From the picture books that children like, to the "Magic Snack Shop" series that teenagers like.

There are also "Love, Home" and "Natsu no Journey: The Story of Kikujiro" that are more inclined towards adult readers.

Except for the still tepid "Pokemon".

All of Hideki Hanyu's works are extremely popular with readers and have achieved staggering sales.

It can be said that every transformation of Hideki Hanyu has been successful.

But it is undeniable that no matter what type of works Hideki Hanyu is targeting at any age group.

The core of the stories in his works is always growth and family affection.

After reading Hideki Hanyu's works, what makes readers recall is always the beauty in human nature.

This is also recognized by the entire literary world, the style of Hideki Hanyu's works.

Cute love story?
Even though Maeda Soyoshi is not in charge of this part of the content in the editorial department, he still knows the style of love novels that are popular in Neon now.

Even if it is true love, it must be an emotion that hovers between cheating and extramarital affairs.

All kinds of forbidden love that cannot be desired and dissatisfied with desire.

It must involve the sorrow of the times and explore the darkness of human nature.

This mainstream style is simply incompatible with Hideki Hanyu's works.

Soyoshi Maeda was a little worried that Hideki Hanyu really wanted to create this type of work.

After all, as a writer, it is inevitable that you want to make your works more 'profound'.

But for Hideki Hanyu, this is by no means a good idea.

The lessons learned at the beginning of the serialization of "Love, Go Home" are vivid in my mind.

Everyone is used to Hideki Hanyu's 'beautiful' story.

If suddenly the style takes a 180-degree turn.

I'm afraid there won't be good reviews. Readers will yell and curse, and then the loss of a large number of readers is the most likely.

"Just want to know." Hideki Hanyu's answer was ambiguous.

He had previously considered writing a love story for a female reader.

He didn't read many neon romance novels in his previous life.

The most familiar one is "Love Letter", which travelers must copy.

Or the novel "Love in the Sky" that aroused his interest to read because his wife starred in the movie.

Therefore, I still want to know what the current mainstream is before making a decision.

If the neon ones are not suitable, you can learn from overseas novels and translate them into neon novels.

"Okay, I'll arrange it and send it to Yunshang Culture as soon as possible." Maeda Zongyi said.

"Trouble Maeda-san, let's take my leave first."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he left the editorial department and was going to visit Masahiro Aiga.

"Goodbye, Hanyu-sensei."

Behind him, Maeda Soyoshi was still worried that Hideki Hanyu wanted to play "Profound".

I wanted to persuade him with a word or two, but I didn't say it.

Hideki Hanyu is not a child, and an editor cannot persuade him to create any work.

Saying goodbye to Soyoshi Maeda, Hideki Hanyu came to the office of the head of the general affairs department and met Masahiro Aiga.

"Good morning, Specialist Aika."

"Mr. Hanyu, it's been a long time."

Facing Hideki Hanyu, Masahiro Aiga was very enthusiastic.

After "Owl Under the Moon" won the grand prize, Hideki Hanyu added honor.

The Xiaoxiaoguan has also become the veritable No. [-] publishing house in the neon picture book industry.

Who is all this because of, of course Aika Masahiro is very clear.

Besides, even if he didn't win an award, Hideki Hanyu is still the writer with the highest sales volume in Shogakukan.

This kind of writer should be held carefully in any publishing house.

Therefore, even if many people are on time, the sales volume of the manga magazine of Hanyu Hideki's Spirit Publishing House is growing rapidly, and it may become a competitor of "Weekly Shonen Sunday".

Aika Masahiro didn't care, and still allowed Elf Publishing House to use the channel of Xiaoxiaoguan to sell.

Because Masahiro Aiga understands that Hideki Hanyu is more than just a writer to Shogakukan.

Hideki Hanyu has become a banner of Shogakukan.

Its influence is not only in neon, but also in overseas.

The various positive influences that Hideki Hanyu has brought to Shogakukan cannot be measured by money.

If it was for a manga magazine, there would be a rift between Shogakukan and Hanyu Hideki.

I am afraid that the management of other Neon publishing houses can wake up from their dreams with laughter.

It's not a day or two since these guys want to dig Hideki Hanyu.

"How is President Aiga's recovery after being discharged from the hospital?" Hideki Hanyu asked politely.

"Father's health is not bad, and he will be able to come to work soon." Aika Masahiro replied.

"If there is a reinstatement celebration at that time, please be sure to notify me."

"I will never forget Mr. Hanyu."

After Masahiro Aiga said this, he took out a document and handed it to Hideki Hanyu.

"Mr. Hanyu, please take a look. This is the overseas sales growth data of Mr. Hanyu's picture books after the award of The Owl under the Moon."

Hideki Hanyu took a look and found that under the influence of the Kate Greenaway Award, his picture book sales increased significantly overseas.

The best growth figures are in Asia and Europe.

As for America, the Kate Greenway Award has less of an impact.

Seeing the rising data all the way, Hanyu Hideki felt that it was indeed right to take the route of 'large volume and full control'.

Other picture book writers have won awards, how many picture books can they sell?
What about him?

A total of 32 picture books have been published.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of winning the Kate Greenway Award, Xiao Xiaoguan released all his works that have not been released overseas in one go.

In order to make money, overseas cooperating publishing houses are also happy to promote the works of award-winning writers.

His works are numerous and of good quality, and he easily sells well.

Maybe taking advantage of the sales explosion after winning this award, his overseas royalty income this year will usher in a super explosion.

At this time Masahiro Aga also said, "Mr. Hanyu, according to the estimates of our overseas sales department, Mr. Hanyu's overseas royalty income this year is at least three times that of last year."

"This is also thanks to the overseas marketing of the Shogakukan." Hanyu Hideki thanked.

If it is tripled, it will be at least 30 billion yen or more.

This number made him feel lucky again that he chose to debut as a picture book writer.

For cultural works such as picture books, the cultural gap between the East and the West is the smallest.

If it was a novel or something, even if it won an award, Westerners would not be interested.

But he also understands that he can earn 30 billion, and the Xiaoguan will only earn more.

But others have channels, but he doesn't.

Even if he wants to take back the copyright and hand it over to Elf Publishing House for operation, he doesn't have the ability to sell it overseas.

Perhaps the money spent on developing sales channels is more than the money earned.

He doesn't have any objection to the small school making this money.

Seeing Hideki Hanyu read the overseas sales documents, Masahiro Aiga said another thing.

"Mr. Hanyu, do you still remember the Shogakukan Picture Book Contest that won the prize?"

"Of course I remember, after all, that competition gave me the opportunity to debut." Hideki Hanyu said.

"This competition was held once last year, but due to other reasons, it was temporarily suspended this year." Aga Masahiro said.

As for the reason for the suspension, to put it bluntly, the degree of attention is too low.

In fact, the first picture book competition that Hideki Hanyu participated in initially attracted quite limited attention.

It was all because of Hideki Hanyu's appearance advantage and Koichi Koichi's bottomless operation that attracted the attention of many housewives.

The Shogakukan Picture Book Contest finally gained some influence because of the discovery of Hideki Hanyu.

Therefore, last year, Xiao Xiao Guan took advantage of the situation and held the second picture book competition.

Although many picture book writers signed up for the competition, Fuji TV also broadcast the video.

But without topical characters like Hideki Hanyu, the second picture book competition has no attention at all.

The sales volume of the few new picture book writers who got the opportunity to be published through the competition is even worse.

So this year, Xiao Xiaoguan simply stopped the competition.

Hearing that the competition was cancelled, Hanyu Hideki said from the bottom of his heart, "That's really a pity."

When the second competition was held last year, Xiao Xiao Guan also invited him to be the award presenter.

But at that time, it was the time when the major literary awards were presented, and he really couldn't get away.

If I couldn't participate, I naturally didn't know the specific situation of the competition.

Now it seems that it should not be ideal.

He still has some feelings for this competition that helped him make his debut as a writer.

"It's like this, the Xiaoxiaoguan plans to restart this award next year, but it doesn't plan to use the original name.

Mr. Hanyu, as a picture book writer who came out of this competition, won the Kate Greenway Award again. Shogakukan wants to cooperate with Mr. Hanyu, and the restarted competition is called "Hanyu Picture Book Award".

The new picture book award is mainly for Nihong to discover new picture book writers and promote the development of the picture book industry. The scope of selection will also be limited to new writers, hoping to get Mr. Hanyu’s approval. "

As soon as Masahiro Hasahi said this, Hideki Hanyu almost lost his breath.

Good guy, how long has he debuted, and he is alive and well, and the competition is about to be named after him?
Maybe when the "Hanyu Picture Book Award" comes out, people who don't know will think that he died young.

He still can't figure out the thoughts of Xianghe Masahiro and Xiao Xiaoguan.

The purpose of discovering new picture book writers and promoting the development of the picture book industry is not to find newcomers for the elementary school.

He said so high-soundingly, that is, he wanted to use his name to attract attention.

Even if he intends to do this kind of picture book award, he will find cooperation with a third-party association and hold it in the name of Yunshang Culture.

It is absolutely impossible to be bound to Xiaoxiaoguan, and use his reputation to help Xiaoxiaoguan discover contracted picture book writers.

Seeing Masahiro Aiga with a sincere face, Hideki Hanyu expressed tactfully.

"Professor Xianghe, please allow me to think about this matter."

Masahiro Aiga could naturally see what Hideki Hanyu meant.

Although I was a little regretful, I didn't intend to force it, so I didn't mention it again.

Next, Hanyu Hideki chatted with Aiga Masahiro about other things.

Basically trivial things.

He came to visit Xianghe Masahiro this time, but he didn't contact him for a long time.

I want to maintain our relationship with each other.

At least he didn't want to part ways with Xiao Xiao Guan until the priority distribution rights of picture books were not over.

About an hour later, Hanyu Hideki looked at his watch and found that it was almost eleven o'clock.

Then he got up and said goodbye, "It's getting late, I won't disturb Xianghe's professional work."

"I had a very pleasant chat with Mr. Hanyu this time. I hope Mr. Hanyu will come here often."

Aiga Masahiro sent Hanyu Hideki all the way to the elevator before stopping.

And Hideki Hanyu took the elevator to the first floor and met Reiko Uemura who was waiting for him.

Before, he asked Reiko Uemura to go to the business department to ask for the latest business data of Constellation Culture, and to find out about the sales of "Saint Seiya" peripherals.

The two walked out while Reiko Uemura reported the situation.

Just when Hideki Hanyu was about to ask about a data detail, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

"President Hanyu, please wait a moment."

It was a crisp female voice.

Mr. Hanyu turned his head and followed the voice, and saw a girl walking towards him quickly.

It is the most popular female idol in neon today, Seiko Matsuda.

Familiar places, familiar sounds, familiar people.

But time has passed almost three years.

It's just that the memory of the other party knocking him down seems to be still in front of my eyes.

Seiko Matsuda hasn't changed much.

But he is no longer the unknown street idol at the beginning.

"Hello Ms. Matsuda, I didn't expect to see you here."

Hanyu Hideki greeted with a good attitude.

Speaking of which, besides the artists of Yunshang Yi Neng, the artist who has cooperated with him the most in the neon art world is Matsuda Seiko in front of him.

The thousand-layer routine advertisement that Yunying started as a painter is still showing "Heavenly Kiss" in theaters.

They are all projects in cooperation between Yunshang Pictures and the other party.

Moreover, the two cooperations were all successful, which helped him earn a lot of money.

Hanyu Hideki has always had a good attitude towards those who can help him make money.

"Is Ms. Matsuda here to talk about the photobook?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

The only thing that a star can cooperate with a publishing house is a photo album.

"It's an autobiographical photobook." Seiko Matsuda replied.

After speaking, she solemnly bowed to Hideki Hanyu.

"I am very grateful to President Hanyu for giving me the opportunity to play in Heaven's Kiss. ​​I have always wanted to thank him in person, but unfortunately I never had the chance to meet President Hanyu."

Kiss of Heaven is a big hit at the box office, and Seiko Matsuda is Hideki Hanyu's designated heroine, so it's only natural to thank her.

"It's nothing, I just think Ms. Matsuda is suitable."

"To express my gratitude, may I invite Chairman Hanyu to have lunch with you?"

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he thought for a while before politely rejecting, "Sorry, I have an appointment at noon."

Now he is not worried about any strange scandals if he appears with Seiko Matsuda.

After all, bodyguards and assistants followed, and Seiko Matsuda also followed with agents and assistants.

It's just that as the boss of Yunying Pictures, he met privately with the cash cow of another firm for no reason.

It is easy to cause misunderstandings by the other firm.

Although Matsuda Seiko is very capable of making money, there is no shortage of idols who can make money in Yunshang Entertainment.

He has no plans to poach corners, so there is no need to stimulate the other party's firm.

After all, apart from the Sun Music agency, Seiko Matsuda also has Sony Entertainment behind him.

This is a giant in the industry with annual sales exceeding [-] trillion yen.

Yun Yinghua could not provoke, or try not to provoke.

"That's such a pity."

Seiko Matsuda showed a regretful expression.

That look, as if it was really sad that he couldn't have dinner with Hideki Hanyu.

Even though Hanyu Hideki knew that the other party's behavior was probably faking it.

But if someone can put on such a posture, it's hard for him to hate him.

No wonder Seiko Matsuda was able to stabilize Akina Nakamori in various rankings in the previous life.

As far as the emotional intelligence of dealing with people and things is concerned, it is completely crushing for Xiaopangcai.

Xiaopangcai's emotional intelligence.

Forget it, let's not talk about it, our little fat dish has never focused on high EQ.

"Miss Matsuda, I still have something to do, so I will take my leave first."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he was about to leave the Elementary School Hall.

However, Seiko Matsuda chased after him in two or three steps, seeming to have forgotten Hideki Hanyu's rejection just now, and asked as if chatting with him.

"Chairman Hanyu is coming to the Shogakukan this time. Is there a new work to be published? I really like President Hanyu's novels."

"Then I will disappoint Ms. Matsuda this time. The work I prepared is a picture book for preschool children."

Seiko Matsuda came up to chat, Hanyu Hideki couldn't just drive people away.

In this way, the two of them walked out of the gate of the elementary school all the way.

Then he felt a flashing light not far away.

You don't need to guess, you know, there are reporters staying here, and it is probably because of the popular idol around you.

"Sorry, because of me, the reporter took a picture of President Hanyu."

Seiko Matsuda sent an apologetic expression at the right time.

"It's okay, I'm also a public figure."

After Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, he hurriedly said goodbye, "Miss Matsuda, I have an appointment with someone else at noon, let's go first."

After finishing speaking, stop entangled with the other party and take Uemura Reiko to the parking lot.

Behind him, Seiko Matsuda looked at Hideki Hanyu's back, with faint disappointment in his eyes.

She really wanted to talk to Hanyu Hideki alone, not because she had any thoughts about Hanyu Hideki.

It's because of the poor income that she doesn't want to stay in the sun music agency any longer.

But in Neon, even if the artist's contract ends, it is very difficult to change the court without the consent of the original firm.

Not to mention a popular artist like her.

Unless there are other big forces willing to help her bear the pressure.

Hideki Hanyu and Yun Ying Hua are undoubtedly a good choice.

It's a pity that Hideki Hanyu didn't even give her the chance to talk.

but……

Seiko Matsuda looked at the reporter who was still catching fear from a distance.

I thought maybe I could test it out a little bit.

……

On the car leaving the Shokokan, Hideki Hanyu, who was listening to Reiko Uemura's report on the management of Constellation Culture, had already forgotten Seiko Matsuda.

Matsuda Seiko helped him earn a lot of money, but he was an artist from another firm after all.

In terms of importance, even Kyoko Koizumi can't compare to him in his heart.

"President, the specific situation is like this."

Uemura Reiko finished reporting what she learned.

Hanyu Hideki nodded.

"It seems that the main income is hand-made toys and peripheral licensing, but after the end of TV animation and the popularity, the decline in revenue is quite obvious."

"Bandai submitted several submissions, requesting to speed up the production of TV animation." Reiko Uemura said.

"Don't worry about them, TV animation must be synchronized with comics."

Hanyu Hideki didn't care about Bandai's opinion.

His current manga script of "Saint Seiya" is already a combination of previous life manga and TV animation, and the theatrical version.

If you really listen to Bandai, speed up the production of TV animation, and once again make the plot of TV animation surpass the manga, God knows what to change.

The popularity of "Saint Seiya" has subsided a little, which also reminded him of the half-finished "Dragon Ball" comic script.

Kazuhiko Torishima, the editor of Shueisha, has seen this part of the manga script and illustrations that have been completed for "Dragon Ball".

Kazuhiko Torishima was very satisfied with the story of "Dragon Ball", and when he returned, he persuaded Akira Toriyama to cooperate.

Akira Toriyama, who wants to earn more than one billion yen by relying on "Arale", has no intention of cooperating at all.

Even though Kazuhiko Torishima persuaded several times, Akira Toriyama just said that we can talk after Arale is over.

But looking at the perfunctory appearance, everyone can see that Akira Toriyama is not very interested in cooperation.

Faced with this situation, Hanyu Hideki was also powerless, so he didn't continue to work on the follow-up script.

As for finding a team to draw "Dragon Ball" and then serialize it on "Elf Cute".

Hanyu Hideki didn't think about it for the time being.

First of all, the comics serialized in "Spirit Cute" are all biased towards a relaxed and cute daily style.

It is completely inconsistent with the positioning of "Dragon Ball" as a bloody battle comic.

Furthermore.

Compared with Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump", "Elf Cute" has developed well, but its influence is still too far behind.

For him now, he no longer thinks highly of the income from selling comics alone.

As long as the comics can become popular, he can earn far more than selling comics by relying on Elf Entertainment to operate the peripherals.

The most important thing is that Akira Toriyama's painting style is really suitable for Dragon Ball.

He was also a manga fan of Akira Toriyama in his previous life, and he still wanted to cooperate if he could cooperate.

　There is a small outbreak today, the state is not right recently, adjust it, and restore Wanchang as soon as possible.
