Chapter 201 Oda Shingo actually came to our magazine? !
On the afternoon of the second day, the atmosphere in the publication department was a bit strange.
Statisticians and technicians kept running around, checking various data.
Some editors are curious.
"What happened?"
“Is it because the website has too many visits?”
"That should be the web department's concern."
Soon, Hyakki Hayato came out of the room with a proud step.
"It's not surprising, that's not surprising!" His mouth curled up, and his big head kept dangling on his short neck, "Oda Shingo's "Parasite" has completely destroyed the charts, and it can be released the next day. Is it any wonder that you have an absolute advantage in gaining popularity votes?”
The technician explained solemnly: "Yes, but the next afternoon, it was only three o'clock, and it had already reached 9,000 votes. This is unprecedented..."
Hyakki Hayato snorted: "You technicians just don't understand comics!"
His words were like a barrage of words. He was speaking to the technicians on the surface, but in fact he was speaking to the editors in the entire big office.
"I don't even think about it. I have worked hard for this magazine for more than ten years and finally cultivated a talented cartoonist. Is it any wonder?"
"And we spared no effort to give him resources, with a serialization volume of up to 85 pages, so ordinary cartoonists can also be popular!"
"Not to mention the talented and hard-working Oda Shingo!"
"You are indeed the new generation of young comics I like!"
The two dozen editors in the office all understood instantly when they heard this.
Minister Hyakki wants to set a tone: the achievements of "Parasite Beast" are all due to the many years of hard work of this publication department!
Especially the strong support from Minister Hyakki!
"Hundred Ghosts Minister has a sharp eye and recognizes talents!"
“Strengthen the foundation, boldly explore, cautiously seek verification, and accumulate knowledge, this is the creed of our magazine department under the leadership of Minister Baigui!”
"You're right, Oda Shingo was able to soar into the sky with the strong support of our minister!"
The sound of flattery suddenly sounded everywhere.
Some editors curiously looked at the data reported by technicians.
"No way, it's only the first day and the popularity votes are already 9,000? "notouch" only has 3,000 votes now."
"This is because comic fans admired "Parasite" very much after watching it, so they took the initiative to send popularity votes."
"In this case..." An editor realized a possibility.
The technician also nodded vigorously: ""Parasite" is no longer just in the top three. The current number of votes has made it surpass "notouch" in points this quarter and become the top three!"
The editors were in a daze.
Previously, due to the late serialization, I was absent for almost a month, which meant that I lost a month of vote accumulation.
But "Parasite" suddenly grabbed the first place in the remaining two months? !
Jingle bell——
A call came to our newspaper's switchboard.
"Moxi Moxi? Huh? TV Tokyo? Have you gone to the web department?" The intern who answered the phone was stunned.
Immediately, an old editor stepped forward to answer the phone and quickly reported it to Hyakki Hayato.
Hyakki Hayato was an old Jianghu, so he immediately asked the other party who was coming.
The general manager of the Kunei Club is already contacting people from the TV station, and now they can accurately answer Hyakki Hayato.
It was just an ordinary interview on the TV station, and the person who came was also a moderately famous host, saying he wanted to interview someone from the WEB department.
"Oh, let them go." Hyakki Hayato didn't take it seriously.
TV Tokyo, which has the nickname "Tokyo's Strongest Den", is backed by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, which has a history of more than a hundred years.
Although this TV station is the king of late-night dramas, its most famous thing is that no matter how big things happen, TV Tokyo always broadcasts its own content smoothly. Especially when playing cartoons, they refused to interrupt the playback. And there has always been a legend that is difficult to understand, saying that the cartoons of this TV station are for people with certain special status. The reason why I didn't interrupt was because I was afraid of disturbing those people's interest.
This kind of legend is naturally groundless in the eyes of ordinary people. But at least it shows that TV Tokyo has a deep foundation and has a special historical background among the six major TV stations in Japan.
Hyakki Hayato returned to his office, walked a few steps, and then said dissatisfiedly: "Humph, what's the point of interviewing TV Tokyo's web department? You should come to our main magazine department!"
"that is!"
"That's what the minister said!"
"The rise of Oda Shingo is obviously the result of our publication department!"
"It's our minister who has the sharp eye to recognize talents!"
Editors echoed.
At this time, Hyakuki Hayato casually picked up a newly submitted manga from the pile marked [First Review] on the desk of an intern editor.
He stood at the table and looked through it casually.
The young editor stood up fearfully.
"What a piece of shit!" Hyakki Hayato threw away the stack of manga manuscripts and picked up another one.
Some people know in their hearts that this young editor used to be in the web department...
During previous disputes with the web department, especially when moving, this editor was directly assigned the lowest grade in the evaluation.
Now, I'm looking for trouble for him again...
Crash--
The manga manuscript was spread all over the place by Hyakki Hayato.
Hyakki Hayato roared: "What kind of crap can pass the preliminary review? Where are your eyes? Just throw this kind of comics into the trash can!"
"Hi Yi!" The young editor bowed deeply, not daring to raise his head at all.
The whole big office was quiet, and no one dared to breathe.
At this moment, a loud sound of leather shoes suddenly came from the corridor.
It felt like someone was walking and deliberately stepped on the marble floor with his steel-soled leather shoes.
This kind of footsteps echoed particularly clearly in the environment of the basement of this magazine.
"..." Hyakki Hayato looked back towards the corridor.
Who is so rude? !
It’s probably some young cartoonist here who doesn’t know the rules of shades! Immediately, an old editor stood up and prepared to go outside to reprimand.
When ordinary cartoonists come to Qunying Club, who wouldn't be very cautious for fear of being rude?
However, the old editor immediately stepped back with a surprised look on his face and said to Minister Hyakki: "Minister! It seems to be Oda Shingo..."
Oda Shingo walked in from the outside with square steps, followed by two female assistants each carrying a box.
"Oh, good afternoon everyone!" Oda Shingo came with a cheerful look on his face.
"Oh - Shingo!" Hyakki Hayato's gloomy face instantly turned into a smile, and he extended his hands enthusiastically from a distance to shake hands.
Oda Shingo actually came to our magazine? ! The editors stood up collectively and stood up from their seats.
On the one hand, it was because of Minister Hyakki's attitude, and on the other hand, everyone wanted to take a look at Oda Shingo again.
This genius, no, great cartoonist, is really young! And he is a handsome guy that girls like.
The two female assistants around him are also very beautiful, but why is he so energetic when he comes back after taking his two female assistants on vacation for half a month? Not even a dark circle?
His leather shoes, on the other hand, are very eye-catching big leather shoes. Why are you still wearing such an old style? And there seems to be a lot of mud on it?
The clever editor suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be filming outside the glass door and in the hidden place in the corridor...
Isn't it TV Tokyo?
While the editors were commenting on Oda Shingo, Hyakki Hayato had already walked up to Oda Shingo.
There was a smile on his face, and his affection for Oda Shingo made people feel that it was more than just a handshake, it was almost like a hug.
But at this moment, Oda Shingo shook his head violently, stretched out his palms, and did not allow Hyakki Hayato to continue to approach him.
"Acting Minister Hyakki, it seems like... we're not very familiar with each other yet!"
