Chapter 297 The second incident at Honnoji Temple!
Small second floor studio.
Todo Koucho received a new email: "Xingo, people from the Comics Association are gathering cartoonists to pray for Nobuhiro Arakawa, and many people have already posted blessings."
Oda Shingo continued to draw silently and asked: "Is he dead?"
"Too bad not."
"Then let's not express our position." Oda Shingo said resolutely, "People who have slandered me still expect me to bless them? I am not a good person."
"Okay, I think it makes sense." Todo Xiangcheng kept smiling.
Oda Shingo even added insult to injury and muttered: "It would be nice if I didn't say to him: [Is there any risk of being cured?]"
Todo Kouchi smiled directly on the table, and Namikaze Yukaku and Mikami Yuko also pursed their lips and smiled.
Mrs. Yukino asked: "Nobuhiro Arakawa is no longer able to fight. What will you do with "Goblin Slayer"?"
Oda Shingo raised his head.
Mrs. Yukino continued: "Don't forget, you painted this work just to suppress Nobuhiro Arakawa. Now the goal is accomplished, right?"
"Madam, you think I am making a contribution to the Heroic Society, right?" Oda Shingo smiled.
"Of course, after all, I don't have any shares in Qunying Club." Mrs. Yukino said confidently.
Oda Shingo stood up and said word by word: "I made an agreement with someone to hang the comic poster on the building of the Heroes Club!"
Namikaze Yukaku stopped the pen in his hand and looked at Oda Shingo.
He still remembered this agreement. Although it has been so long...
The autumn water in his eyes was almost rippling out.
"It must be an agreement with a certain beauty." Mrs. Yukino smiled, "Then you will stop after reaching this goal?"
"Yes." Oda Shingo nodded vigorously, "The copyright is in our hands, and we can produce various derivative versions on "Champion" or "RED"."
He knew that there were many famous spin-offs of "Goblin Slayer" on Earth, and almost every popular character could have a spin-off.
Even characters who have not appeared can also form separate side stories.
"Will there be any infringement issues?" Mrs. Yukino was still thoughtful.
"We have a guest agreement, and we have the right to serialize it. I asked lawyer Gu Meimen in advance. As long as the protagonist is not the original protagonist, he can ensure that we will not lose the case. Even if the protagonist is the original one, we are 99% sure."
In fact, when Oda Shingo asked, Gu Meimen read the faxed agreement and the reply was that he would win the case 100%.
But Oda Shingo knew that the later sales performance of "Goblin Slayer" was mediocre and not as impressive as the early stage. Instead, the derivative works made a lot of money.
However, this plot is very popular in the West and has received high praise. This is an unexpected bonus and can be considered separately in the future.
Hearing what Oda Shingo said, Mrs. Yukino responded with a business smile: "Okay, I look forward to your transition!"
They discuss brother killing here, and the same goes for Qunying Club.
In the office of the president of Qunyingsha, the president Noriyama Koyama and the director of this magazine were holding hands and laughing.
"That Nobuhiro Arakawa, his body collapsed, hahahaha!" Noriaka Koyama was very happy.
Although he failed to successfully suppress Oda Shingo and failed to achieve his strategic goal, Nobuhiro Arakawa was already at a disadvantage and could not even compete with the newly rising juniors. As the inviter, I have long felt Alexander.
Arakawa suddenly collapsed due to physical reasons. Not only did he save his face, he also saved a lot of manga royalties. After all, in order to invite him to come out, in addition to the initial gift, he also signed a royalties standard that doubled the premium.
The head of this magazine quickly fanned: "Do you want to throw dirty water on Oda Shingo based on the photos posted on that website?"
Noriyama Koyama scolded: "You are stupid! Cartoonists are in a high-risk industry, and he is so fat. No one will think that Oda Shingo is the murderer. Maybe if we move around without permission, we may suffer backlash. !”
The head of this magazine shrank his neck in fright, and then he remembered that Qunying Club had suffered losses more than once. They all poured dirty water on Oda Shingo and suffered a huge backlash.
"I have an idea..." Koyama Norilong rubbed his chin and thought about it. "All ears." The attitude of the director of this magazine is definitely good.
Noriyama Koyama asked: "Has the manuscript for the next issue of "Goblin Slayer" arrived?"
"The manuscript has been submitted."
"It's so enjoyable that one really wonders if it's Shingo Oda. But that guy serialized two comics at the same time, so it's impossible for him to open three comics, right?"
"That's right. His two works on "Champion", "RED", and "Goblin Slayer" are all of a type with excellent plots. Who has the time to come up with three comics? I admire him for not being schizophrenic in two of them. "
"You bastard, how can you admire Oda Shingo!" Koyama Noritaka scolded.
Amidst the apologies from the head of the magazine, Noriyama Koyama called up the comics typed backstage.
Brother Sha submitted the manuscript earlier and the typesetting has been completed.
"The plot of "Goblin Slayer", which has not yet been published, is still quite good! It has a fast pace, many twists and turns, and climaxes one after another."
"The manuscript that was handed in in advance just completed the battle of a big shot of Goblin, and it was a very beautiful ending."
"The protagonist also took off his helmet, and the girl's attention gave readers a lot of satisfaction."
"There are also outstanding characters and many supporting characters with full personality. There is a problem if this comic is not popular!"
Noriyama Koyama has rich experience in the industry and can make relatively accurate judgments without being biased. "You did a good job. You were able to select from many newcomers' manuscripts and send them directly to me."
"Minister, you got it right!" The director of this magazine was proud. This work was sent directly to him for serialization, which is obviously due to his discerning eye for talents.
As if he wanted to confirm it, Noriyama Koyama opened the webpage to check the comments of fans of the comic on the Qunyingsha website.
The previous issue of "Goblin Slayer" has received wide acclaim, with many comments from readers.
[Don’t you think this comic is a heartwarming story behind the darkness? ]
[Agree! I feel like this story is about a man who has been on the verge of hatred, despair and loneliness, and meets a group of friends who really like him, and gradually regains his true heart. ]
[At first I was attracted by the gimmicky goblins torturing beautiful women, and then I felt attracted by the extremely realistic setting of another world. Later, I found that both the characters and the worldview left me with endless aftertaste! ]
"It seems that readers have noticed the deep connotation of this comic, which shows that everyone is paying attention to it and exploring it. Xixi! We will promote it!"
Nori Koyama suddenly made up his mind: "Isn't there a special reception event for the comic club next week? Prepare to replace the posters on the top floor of the Heroes Club! Let the ones from "Goblin Slayer" go up! After all, the event is held in the main club building."
"Ah, it hasn't won the quarter championship yet..." The director of this magazine hesitated and reminded.
Noriyama Koyama snorted: "Do you think this comic will fail?"
"This...is indeed not possible! The quality is very high!"
"So go ahead and do it! The promotion of the event in advance should also highlight the atmosphere of the saints versus the devil!"
"My subordinates understand, hehe, Akechi Mitsuhiko, this name is simply aimed at Oda Shingo!"
"Of course, I noticed this gimmick from the beginning!" Noriyama Koyama kept instructing his men:
"The early publicity was also bold and full of gunpowder!"
“Praise Goblin Slayer to the heavens!”
"Let everyone know that we have a new writer, Hideko Akechi, who is better than Shingo Oda!"
"By the way, the author Akechi Mitsuko is invited to attend the event."
"We might as well make it clear to her that we will strongly promote her works, and ask her to speak more specifically about Oda Shingo!"
"Let the building of this magazine become the second Honnoji Temple and burn the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven to death! Hahahaha——"
President Noriyama Koyama laughed proudly.
The director of this magazine seemed to have seen the beautiful scene that made his whole body tremble, and he stood up excitedly and replied loudly.
"Hiyi!"
