For Toshima Publishing House, the profits created by a "Hanzawa Naoki" can only be considered "not bad".

Yes.

Even if "Hanzawa Naoki" won the first place in Japan, stepping on major publishing houses, the bodies of various comic authors won countless honors.

But for giant publishers like Toshima Publishing House.

The profits created by "Hanzawa Naoki"... Although they cannot be said to be a drop in the bucket, they are just pretty good.

But the impact of the comic "Hanzawa Naoki" on the industry...

That's not ordinary.

Not only breaking the record and winning the first place.

He also made the comic magazine "Hashi" famous.

This is what Oze Heji can say.

If it weren't for "Hanzawa Naoki", "Kaisei" would have a high probability that it would not be able to beat the "Chione" comic magazine of Iwaki Publishing House next door.

It is said that a comic author, Taizuko, can support half of the sky of a comic magazine... But Higashinoji is different.

Higashinoji is the kind of person who can support the whole world.

Osawa Hiroki may not care about the profits created by "Hanzawa Naoki".

But he had to care about the stay and departure of Higashinoji.

Because Higashinoji's influence in the industry is really like a mobile nuclear warhead.

A steady stream of comics that shocked editors and readers.

Refreshing people's views on comics again and again.

"Midnight Bell" set off a wave of urban legends in Japan. In which Sadako's image was very popular even abroad, creating many fan images based on Sadako's image.

I will even talk about the live-action movie of "Midnight Bell" and the shooting of the foreign version in the near future.

"The Lonely Foodie" has made many readers unable to sleep all night, and they can only watch the saliva flowing down from "The Lonely Foodie".

Further down... "The Winner Is Justice" is the beginning of a professional humorous comic, and is also preparing for the shooting of live-action TV series.

There is no need to talk about "Unnatural Death", which has set off a frenzy of Japanese workplace comics, and many comic authors follow the trend.

Then there is the number one Japanese name in Japan.

Every work by Higashinoji is so eye-catching.

Each work gives Osawa Hoshi a feeling that "this should be the limit of Higashinoji, and it is impossible to move upwards. Next, we should enter the sedimentation period or go downhill."

But every time, Higashinoji could go beyond his expectations.

He is still improving and his influence is also expanding.

Now when talking about Higashinoji in the industry... no one would say the word "no".

Because their works are excellent, they are better than you! They draw them well, they are better than you!

Higashinoji no longer has to use the Toshima Publishing House platform.

"Teacher Higashino, now you are a brand."

Osawa Hiroki smiled: "I can't care about "Hanzawa Naoki" or the situation on Higashino's web comics, but I can't ignore your stay or not."

He took a sip of the soup, which contained some lobster meat, fried in butter and turned slightly yellow on the surface, and sucked outward with tempting juice.

"Is that true?"

Higashinoji never thought that he was so important to Toshima Publishing House, so important that Ozawa Hokishi could temporarily put down the cake of online comics.

Higashinoji also did not believe all Osawa Hoyoshi's words.

After all, the other party is an old fox who is mixed in the workplace. If you really have to believe everything about the other party... that's a bit of a joke.

But since Oze Heji said that, he must have a clear attitude.

"That's it. Compared to the illusory online market, I actually care more about the physical industry."

Compared to the small money Hitoshino online comics earned, Ozawa Hiroki actually cares more about the current physical industry situation of Toshima Publishing House.

Higashinoji is like a stabilizer. As long as he is here, the comics department of Tokushima Publishing House will always be one step ahead of others.

In Ozawa Hoji's view, the physical industry that he had settled in had not yet gained a foothold, so he looked forward to the unknown online market behavior... It is undoubtedly stupid and has a great risk. There is also Ironzhu Publishing House next to it.

"So that's it. I probably understand what President Ozawa means, so President Ozawa called me here mainly for..."

Higashinoji didn't finish his words, but only said halfway, then turned to Osawa Hokishi.

"I hope to establish a long-term partnership with Higashino."

Osawa Hiroki smiled: "Instead, our Tokushima Publishing House will not be interested in the online market for the time being, and will continue to provide excellent comic works to Mr. Higashino's online comic platform."

"I see."

Higashinoji nodded and breathed lightly.

As expected, it was as he thought.

Ozawa Hoki called him here this time mainly to maintain a cooperative relationship with him. He did not want his nuclear warhead to jump into the arms of Iwazu Publishing House if he accidentally jumped into the arms of Iwazu Publishing House.

but...

Nuclear warhead...

This description really makes Higashinoji feel a subtle feeling.

Maybe he hasn't followed the Japanese comics industry for too long.

He never thought that his influence in the Japanese comics industry could be so great.

“I am willing to maintain a partnership with Toshima Publishing House.”

Higashinoji picked up the juice cup and clinked it with the sake glass in Osawa Hikiki's hand, then drank it in one sip.

Well... the taste is pretty good, it should be the kind of freshly squeezed juice. There should be a chef who has tasted it, which makes the taste richer.

This is how Ozawa Hokishi and Higashinoji were, and they quickly decided on maintaining cooperation for a long time.

The rough textual treaty is that Higashinoji cannot change jobs for the time being and needs to continue to be the author of Toshima Publishing House. On the contrary, Toshima Publishing House cannot force Higashinoji to serialize comics. He must take what he has to do as the first priority sequence. They also need to continue to provide comic works to Higashino Studio.

The two hit it off. If there were no witness agencies on the scene, they would probably have to draft a contract immediately and sign the matter.

The matter is so simple, so I'll just finish the talk.

Ozawa Hokishi admires Higashinoji's completely unremitting attitude.

But since the main thing has been discussed, Osawa Hokishi of course wants to ask Higashinoji about other things.

"Teacher Higashino, I heard that your studio is currently producing animated movies recently, right? The movie is called "Spirited Away"..."

"Yeah, production is underway."

This matter is not very news in the industry at all. Higashinoji smiled and did not hide it.

"It can be seen that Mr. Higashino is very confident in this animated movie. Even the comics activities have stopped."

Ozawa Heki recalled the specific details.

"I am really confident that "Spirited Away" should be another particularly outstanding work in my work besides "Hanzawa Naoki."

Higashinoji said, looking at the wall clock behind him.

It has been an hour since I came here, and it has been eight o'clock. I don't know how Chisaki Higashino was alone at home.

There is also Konoha Lianghua, I don’t know if she has replied to her message.

"To reach the height of "Hanzawa Naoki"...that's the number one in Japan again."

Ozawa Heji was a little surprised.

He originally thought that Higashinoji's debut work was just used to practice.

But I didn't expect that the other party had already thought of the highest level in Japan.

"yes."

Higashinoji smiled slightly: "It's the number one in Japan."

When he said this, there was no pride on his face.

It seems like saying something that is normal.

This made Ozawa Heji ponder and gently tap the tabletop a few times.

He could see it.

Higashinoji cannot be said to be without arrogance. His arrogance has always been restrained. Although he looks kind, he actually found out after contacting him... the other party is really a genius player.

Yes.

Genius player.

Be able to say things that everyone thinks are unlikely to accomplish in a calm and indifferent attitude and complete...
