Chapter 286 Elegant? What elegance?
"What do the officials of the Ministry of Culture mean? Occasionally, draw some short comics on their website?" Oda Shingo was quite surprised when he heard the call from Mikami Saburo.
Saburo Mikami was very sure on the phone: "Yes, it was communicated by the assistant of Director Yonekura Shunji, and the other party made it clear. ]
“……”
If someone else were to invite special or ultra-short comics to be produced, the first thing Oda Shingo would ask about would be the royalties. After all, if you have money, it’s easy to do things. If you don’t have money, who has time to play with you?
But when it comes to the Agency for Cultural Affairs, he has no involvement in remuneration.
Rights are words that stick together. Even though the Agency for Culture is a very unpopular department in the Central Province of Japan, and even has a very bad reputation among the public, it is a department with real power after all.
A large number of matters involving publishing copyright are controlled by the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
Oda Shingo once suffered from a lack of support in his previous life. Later, he learned to borrow the east wind and lived more comfortably.
In fact, he had a good impression of the Department of Culture. At least the other party never did anything bad to him, and even showed good intentions in many aspects.
Moreover, the current director of the Agency for Cultural Affairs is Yonekura Shunji, a big shot in the music industry who has had many musical works handed down to the world. To a certain extent, he is also one of his own from the entertainment industry.
"The other party said this, but it hinted too much." Oda Shingo analyzed calmly.
[Yes, at least we understand the award thing. ] Saburo Mikami’s voice was brisk and he was obviously in a good mood.
The Agency for Cultural Affairs will hold a Manga Awards Ceremony next month, and Oda Shingo's works were nominated. Now I have taken the initiative to ask him to create short comics, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
We are full of goodwill and will share the pork with you. Let’s have a good New Year together, how about that?
Of course! Oda Shingo actually wanted to agree immediately.
But he still cautiously maintained his attitude: "Can you wait for me to think about it for a while? I'll call you back."
[Of course, waiting for your good news. ] Saburo Mikami chatted a few more words about the results of "Spy Play House", and then the two hung up the phone.
Oda Shingo put down his mobile phone and immediately turned to ask the mature beauty who was leaning on the recliner not far away: "Mrs. Yukino, how is your relationship with the Agency for Cultural Affairs?"
Mrs. Yukino was lazily leaning on the manuscript review. After hearing this, she put the manuscript down: "Do you need to say hello? In fact, I should have a few juniors over there."
Oda Shingo thought that Japanese society is indeed a complex network of relationships: "As long as we have good relationships, I just want to ride on the wind. So, I would like to ask, can the enemy of the Agency for Cultural Affairs possibly interfere with our manga career?"
He simply said what Saburo Mikami said.
Oda Shingo was very cautious and asked in detail.
If you publish specially invited works on the website of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, it will definitely be an act of siding with others, and it will not be good if you create a strong enemy.
Mrs. Yukino didn't answer for a while, tilting her head and thinking seriously.
Oda Shingo did not disturb her thoughts, knowing that she was trying to help him recall and see what impression she had.
On the other hand, it was quite pleasing to watch Mrs. Yukino looking thoughtful.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her body, dyeing her extremely white skin with a layer of gold, adding a bit of grace and luxury to her beauty.
Especially because the body is slightly tilted, it seems that one corner of the kimono is slightly deformed, revealing a shocking fullness.
Is it a coincidence of the wrinkles in the clothes? Oda Shingo felt a little unbelievable. If it were really this size, I'm afraid it would be H or above.
It must be an illusion, it can’t fool me!
"The Ministry of Culture has been busy introspecting in recent years and working hard to repair its image among the people. There are no serious foreign enemies." Mrs. Yukino said slowly, "The conflicts within the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology have affected the Ministry of Culture to some extent, but they will not cause trouble. It’s up to you. If you want to take sides, it’s no big deal.”
Awesome, mastered to this extent? Oda Shingo knew as soon as he heard that she must be concerned about the political situation: "Thank you very much! So how does Mrs. Yukino feel about the Agency for Cultural Affairs?"
"I don't hate or like them, just feel free to do it." Mrs. Yukino nodded, continued to read the manuscript, and reminded: "Waiting for your opinion on the plan, and also, does the contract need to be modified? Reply It's time for Saburo Mikami to answer me."
"No problem!" Oda Shingo already knew that Mrs. Yukino had no quarrel with her, so he could reciprocate the favor to the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
But when it came to whether to reply to Saburo Mikami first or to deal with the plan and contract that Mrs. Yukino had given him before, Oda Shingo chose to deal with the latter first without hesitation. Springfield Bookstore's peripherals have always been good, and the "Spy House" peripheral distribution plan is above average.
First, it analyzes the popularity among comic fans in the comic series, and then fully affirms the market prospects based on Oda Shingo's past stable performance.
At the same time, market estimates were also made based on the past performance of similar anime characters.
"Ania's peripherals, you underestimated." Oda Shingo pointed to the market valuation figure above.
[It is expected that within one year of market launch, the sales of Aniya stationery peripheral market will reach 5 billion yen. 】
Oda Shingo knew that the surrounding areas of "Spy House" were very popular in Japan.
Not to mention the full range of peripherals, just a few of Ania's desk ornaments have achieved sales of 5 billion yen.
After reminding Mrs. Yukino to raise her expectations for the market, he picked up the licensing contract.
After carefully watching it from beginning to end, Oda Shingo had to admit that smart women just know how to do things.
Although they were very familiar with each other, the contract did not bully them. Instead, it was the conditions that made Oda Shingo's heart directly move.
He immediately signed the contract, stood up and handed it back to Mrs. Yukino with both hands.
The lazy Mrs. Yukino moved on the recliner and stood up slowly under the gaze of Oda Shingo.
The mature beauty stood up in an orderly manner, making Oda Shingo feel like a moving oil painting, with every move and every move full of beauty.
Moreover, Oda Shingo noticed that the bulge in the plump part of the skirt just now seemed to be full, and it was not a coincidence of folds.
Masaka, is it true... Oda Shingo swallowed.
After quickly correcting his mind, he handed over the contract and called Saburo Mikami to reply.
"Sanlang, I've thought about it, tell me the specific requirements for publishing the short film."
——
The latest issue of "Champion" has been published.
The plot of "Spy House" by Shingo Oda has officially entered the academy examination stage.
Dusk and Joel pretended to be parents and took their child Aniya to the interview.
The higher-ups of the academy, especially the principal, observe many family members taking the entrance exam.
There are more and more comics fans in bookstores everywhere, and the craze for reading continues.
On the Internet, Nobuhiro Arakawa continued to ridicule in his personal column on YouTube.
However, many comic fans gradually stopped arguing with him.
Instead, many people began to advise:
"Teacher Arakawa, please pay attention to your elegance."
"Elegance, be elegant!"
"Mr. Arakawa, it goes against elegance for you to criticize your colleagues, especially other cartoonists who are competing for status."
Nobuhiro Arakawa has a black question mark face.
What?
What elegance?
Why does this word appear?
