Chapter 310. Cut or be cut (4000 words)(1/2)
Of course, Hosokawa Koharu believed Higashinoji.
However, as Higashinoji's editor, she still has to ask a few questions.
Because if the other party takes action to poach but he doesn't do anything at all, it will inevitably make Higashinoji feel that Urashima Publishing House does not pay much attention to him.
so.
Even if it is superficial, Hosokawa Koharu has to call to ask.
She called Higashinoji and started waiting.
Then...
"Teacher Higashino didn't answer the phone?" Hosokawa Koharu looked at his cell phone in surprise.
According to Higashinoji's efficiency, as long as you call, Higashinoji will be connected in just three seconds.
But this time... she waited for more than half a minute, but the phone was not answered yet.
Gudu...
Could it be that Urajima Publishing House's only "nuclear weapon" that can fight with the two merged publishing houses has been really poached?
Otherwise, she wouldn't have answered the phone call from her, the editor.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt the more I felt. After hesitating for a while, I simply took the elevator to the underground parking lot.
She was going to drive directly to Higashinoshi's house to see the situation.
but...
If Shima Higashino plans to change jobs...
"Then I don't have the qualifications to stop Teacher Higashino." Hosokawa Koharu shook his head.
She has always respected Higashinoji's opinions very much.
So, she wouldn't say anything more when Higashinoji comes and goes...at most...ahem, at most she just goes over and fights for it.
Hosokawa Koharu got into the car, tied up his seat belt, and headed towards Higashinoya.
And at this time...
"How is it? Teacher Higashino? Our Iwaji Publishing House sincerely invites you to our new magazine serialization. If you agree, we will vigorously let the sales department and the sales department promote your new works."
At this time, a male editor sat in front of Higashinoji.
The male editor is named Ichizheng Dalin. He wears glasses and looks very smart and capable, with a straightforward short hair.
In fact, Dalin Ichizheng was a little surprised when he looked at the young man in front of him.
It is rumored in the industry that Higashinoji is very young, but he only found out after actually meeting...
Isn't this too young?
A little too far.
It feels like his son is about the same age as Higashinoji.
However, Ichimasa Oriyashi did not despise Higashinoji because he was young.
After all, Higashinoji in front of him was the author who expressed his desire to poach after discussing the discussion in their editorial department.
This is relatively rare.
After all, poaching has always been a despicable behavior in the industry. To put it bluntly, poaching may become a black material for media reports.
Especially after the merger of the two major agencies, they have become giant publishers, and in the future they will strive to become the number one publisher in Japan... They are even more sensitive to this kind of public opinion.
But even so—
Still have to dig!
Dalin's politics remained unshakable.
Higashinoji has this value!
Dalin Yizheng took a sip of tea, then looked up and said:
"Teacher Higashino, how about it? As long as you are willing to join our publishing house, whether it is treatment or promotion, we will strive to be better than Urashima Publishing House. These terms can be put into the contract."
"Is that true?" Higashinoji seemed to be interested.
"That's right." Dalin Imasato cheered up and continued to add: "Teacher Higashino, our Xinyanzhu Publishing House needs an excellent comic author like you to join, as long as you join..."
"I probably understand all the things that Editor Dalin said."
Before Shinnoji finished speaking, he interrupted: "I don't care much about these promotion and sales issues... The most important thing is, can you give me treatment similar to Urashima Publishing House?"
"What kind of treatment is it specifically? Please tell me by Teacher Higashino."
Dalin Ichimasa was very confident and felt that what Urashima Publishing House could do, their newly merged Iwazu Publishing House could do it.
But for his confidence, Higashinoji smiled and poured a basin of cold water.
"I will choose the treatment of the production company at any time, the treatment of the first person on the pillar, animation adaptation, live TV series adaptation, movie adaptation, etc...."
"Uh..." Dalin Yizheng became more and more surprised when he heard it, and he was even more speechless afterwards.
Because no matter which one is, it is difficult for Xinyanzhu Publishing House to do it now.
First of all, the right to complete this comic at any time.
As we all know, if a comic becomes popular during the serialization process, the editor and even the entire editorial department will more or less force the comic author to continue painting. After all, as long as the comic is maintained, the energy will continue to create benefits.
Give the author the right to complete the book at any time... Then wouldn't Higashinoji want to finish the book when he wants to finish the book? He can't even consider the profit at all?
This is too free.
And the treatment of the first person behind the pillar...it is still possible if we discuss it carefully.
But please note that this is ‘possible’ and cannot be guaranteed 100%.
After all, in addition to Higashinoji, Jiyaoka Publishing House and Jiyaoka Bookstore also have a group of pillar authors. They have contributed themselves to the two major publishing houses of Iwakao and Moyaoka for ten years.
They also want to have the treatment of a pillar author.
This makes people feel embarrassed.
As for the rights of animation adaptation, live-action TV series adaptation, etc.... Although these things are not the lifeblood of the publishing house, they also touch on some of the interests. Even if he agrees, the people above will not agree.
So after hearing these requests from Higashinoji, Ichimasa could only remain silent.
After a while, he couldn't help asking: "According to what Teacher Higashino said, did Urashima Publishing House give Higashino these rights and treatments?"
Ikamasa Oriyashi actually didn't believe in Urajima Publishing Society that made Higashinoji so free in the publishing house.
But what he didn't expect was that Higashinoji nodded: "Yes, all the things I said above are the rights I enjoy at Urashima Publishing House."
Since last time he talked with Urashima Publishing House president Hoyoshi Osawa, Higashinoji successfully received these treatments.
However, Ozawa Yoshiki also said that before enjoying these rights, Higashinoji must ensure that the comic works are popular.
In response, Higashinoji of course nodded in agreement.
After hearing Hitoshiji's words, Ichimasa Oriya could not help but shake his head and laughed dryly.
"Sorry, Teacher Higashino, these rights and benefits are somewhat beyond the authority of my editor... I want to go back and discuss with the editor-in-chief and others... I hope you can understand."
After saying this, he glanced at Higashinoji again.
Although Higashinoji is the author of the pillar of Urashima Publishing House...
But he never expected that Higashinoji would actually enjoy this kind of treatment - is Higashinoji worth it?
Dalin's Yizheng shook his head again.
"If you can understand, please ask Dalin to edit it at your own discretion."
Higashinoji smiled, stood up and sent off Dalin Imatsu.
As for the other party’s words ‘discussion’… Higashinoji would definitely not believe it.
The requests he made were not easy to fulfill, and the other party said, "I want to go back and discuss" but it was actually just an excuse.
But Higashinoji didn't care.
He stayed very comfortable at Urashima Publishing House and had no intention of moving.
As soon as I was sent out, Higashinoji Higashinomiya had no time to greet him, a figure suddenly emerged from the elevator entrance on the other side.
It really came out.
The speed is extremely fast.
When the other party stopped, Higashinoji spoke in surprise: "Editor Hosokawa?"
When Koharu Hosokawa saw Higashinoji's face was originally happy, but when he saw Ikazu Oriyaki standing beside him, his pretty face suddenly collapsed like a deflated tire.
But it still needs to be greeted.
After Koharu Hosokawa stood firm, he finally recovered his anger before greeting him: "Hello, Teacher Higashino, who is the one beside you..."
As she said, she turned her thorny little eyes toward Dalin Ichimasa on the other side.
To be continued...
