Chapter 314. The war begins! (4000 words)(1/2)
"Is that true? Editor Hosokawa, but are you sure you won't think about it anymore?"
Urashima Editor-in-chief listened to Hosokawa Koharu's answer over there.
"Yes, Urashima Editor-in-Chief."
Hosokawa Koharu on the other side was very firm: "Teacher Higashino feels that "Hanzawa Naoki" will definitely reach the top. Although my strength is insignificant, I still choose to believe in Teacher Higashino and want to help him a little."
"Since that's the case, I understand. I will recommend another editor to be the editor-in-chief of "Aversion to Cold". Editor Hosokawa, please continue to be responsible for Teacher Higashino."
The editor-in-chief Urajima here did not continue to persuade him.
Although he still felt that Hosokawa Koharu's decision was a bit rash.
After all, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any publishing house editor.
But speaking of this, Hosokawa Koharu believed Higashinoji so much.
After hanging up the phone, Hosokawa Koharu breathed a little.
She couldn't help but shake her head at first, then took a look at the original manuscript at hand, took a deep breath, and covered her face.
"Ahhh I really want to be the editor-in-chief"
She screamed in a whisper.
but
"Since you have given up, you don't have to think so much."
Hosokawa Koharu put down his hand.
Yes, I have decided to follow Higashinoji to witness the next path of "Hanzawa Naoki". So what else can I think too much about?
She looked at the original manuscript of "Hanzawa Naoki" seriously again: "You still have to come on."
She murmured to herself in a low voice.
I just don't know if I'm encouraging myself or cheering Higashinoji
Hosokawa Koharu regained his energy and went to Toshima Publishing House.
Now that the original manuscript has been obtained, how to use it to defeat Chiyo is the matter of their editorial department.
Two more days passed like this.
Higashinoji, who occasionally read about the situation in Toshima Publishing House, discovered a new notice issued on his official website.
Following Xinyanzuki Publishing House, Toshima Publishing House also launched the new comic magazine "Hashi".
Below this announcement is the cover of "Harmony".
Unlike the gloomy cover of "Aversion to Chills" before, the newly launched "Harmony" has a bit of seriousness and heaviness.
On the cover of the comic magazine, there is a close-up of a man showing his upper body. The man was wearing a formal outfit and showed a young side face, with a very "forced" and serious expression. His eyes were gloomy and he looked a bit harsh overall.
At the bottom of the cover are four neat big characters "Hanzawa Naoki".
Here, Higashinoji uses the artistic font written in the TV series of his previous life, which looks square and powerful.
Next to Hansawa Naoki is information about the works of some other comic authors
It has to be said that Toshima Publishing House did give Higashino Kyushi treatment. Just the half-body profile of "Hanzawa Naoki" accounts for two-thirds of the entire cover, which almost squeezes out the names of other comic authors' works.
Higashinoji couldn't help frowning after reading it, feeling that the editor-in-chief of Toshima Publishing House was too courageous.
Although it is giving Higashinoji the opportunity to be a general, this is too much and I don’t care about the ideas of other comic authors.
Even the readers in the comment area below complained.
"I do like Higashinosam's works very much, but this time the close-up of the characters in Higashinosam's works is too big, right? The other works have been squeezed to both sides. How much does Toshima Publishing House value Higashino teacher?"
Even the name of Higashinoji's work "Hanzawa Naoki" is much bigger than the introduction of the entire work.
"Isn't this nonsense? "Waise" is going to fight against "Chioni" by Shinawakzuki Publishing House this time, and it's full of gunpowder. Teacher Higashino looks like he's being used as a gun."
"I feel that the cover of "Hanzawa Naoki" is really good. Higashinosan's painter is online! I was stared at by the male protagonist on the cover for no reason and felt a chill behind him."
"It feels like a workplace comic? I'm so looking forward to it. I'm also an office worker. I don't know what surprises Mr. Higashino can bring to us." :(/
There are many discussions below the comment area, most of which are positive comments.
Higashinoji felt that there was nothing to be complacent about.
Because fans' evaluations have always been one-sided, and the quality of Higashinoji's works has never disappointed them, they have accumulated a good reputation over time.
But just opening a good reputation is actually useless.
The key is that the subsequent review of readers and the sales of single-books are the top priority.
As for those readers who leave comments below, they say that they are also office workers
Higashinoji can only cough twice, hoping that they will not lose their jobs because of "Hanzawa Naoki"
If they lose their jobs, maybe one in ten thousand will be responsible.
Although it was only one-tenth of the responsibility, Higashinoji still hoped that they would not get angry after reading the comics and workplace bosses.
Thinking of this, Higashinoji closed the official web page of Toshima Publishing House and began to browse the official web page of Shinjima Publishing House.
The announcement here is actually similar to Toshima Publishing House, and it also introduces its new comic magazine "Chione".
The only difference is that the cover of Chiyo's magazine did not only promote Hitoshima Publishing House, a main comic, like Toshima Publishing House.
Their main focus seems to be that a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.
What is the slogan? No, no! All our comics are mainly comics!
Under the cover of the magazine, there is the pseudonym of each pillar comic author.
This made Higashinoji understand why Xinyanzhu Publishing House has rich background
Just talking about the list of these dense column authors, it is no wonder that Ozawa Heji and others do not have the confidence to compete.
The twenty-two comics serialized in "Chioni" are about 19 works with pillar-level works, and the first nineteen comics are basically the industry's biggest names with an average sales of 700,000 to 800,000 copies.
Especially for the first five works, the average volume of the volume is about one million volumes, and the series of works is basically more than ten years.
The last three are not weak at all. They are all outstanding newcomers with a reputation, and the sales volumes of 500,000 or 600,000 volumes are still fine.
The saying that all comics are the main ones is really not nonsense.
The lineup can be said to be very luxurious.
No wonder Xinyanchi Publishing House is full of confidence and feels that even if Higashinoji is not poached, Toshima Publishing House's "Kashi" cannot compete with them.
I guess in their opinion, no matter how powerful Higashinoji is, can he withstand the righteous gang fights of such a number of authors?
After all, the serialized works on "Chianyo" are not only the number of works, but also the quality of works is also terrifying.
Readers in the comment section below were of course surprised to see this luxurious lineup.
This author lineup is too terrifying.
Many people also said that they would definitely buy one during the publication period, even if they were used as a souvenir, would not lose money.
After all, this is the first issue and it has commemorative value.
After reading some comments, Higashinoji turned off the webpage and raised his eyebrows.
It's really not easy
Not to mention anything else, this evaluation is quite polarized.
Toshima Publishing House mainly commented on Higashinoji's "Hanzawa Naoki", while "Chyo" here has fans of various works, and the fan base is very wide.
This is a bit big.
However, Higashinoji was not too worried.
He has confidence in the knife "Hanzawa Naoki".
“Are the release dates of magazines on both sides on this Friday?”
Higashinoji pondered.
This is similar to the previous "Qizziness" and the previous "Qizziness" release date is Friday as early as the earliest and the latest is Monday next week.
It seems that both sides want to touch each other at this time of release, and there is no feeling of hiding.
“This Friday is two days later”
Higashinoji murmured to himself.
He simply calculated the time, and finally nodded, not continuing to care.
During the period when Higashinoji's "observation of the enemy situation", on the other side, the comic authors from the Old Fuji Publishing House hosted a meal.
They only saw the cover of Toshima Publishing House's new issue "Hashi".
Especially the cover of Higashinoji's work suppressed them all.
This is simply
So they, the authors who used to draw comics at Fuji Publishing House, gathered together and held a dinner to express their thoughts on the magazine "Hashi".
