Zongman: Why are all your comics full of knives?

"The end of "Magic Circle"?!true or false!?"

"Isn't this a complete nonsense!Editor-in-Chief Minano, why don't you stop the teacher!?"

"Now is the rising period of "Magic Circle", so I chose to end it so soon... The teacher doesn't know how difficult it is for a work to sell well, don't you know it as the editor-in-chief!?"

"That's right, it can't end at this time!!"

"If it really ends so hastily, the warrior teacher of love and hope will definitely regret it afterwards!"

"As editors, we have to give mature advice to the authors!"

After reacting, the editors-in-chief present also spoke up to persuade them.

The appearance of a popular book in the hands of an editor-in-chief will indeed have a great impact on them.

But there are also a lot of benefits!

The mere fact that Shueisha's popularity was raised was enough to make them let go of their prejudices.

The more well-known you are, the more new readers you can attract.

The most powerful evidence is that since the release of the single book of "Magic Circle",

In the past two weeks, the sales of "Weekly Shonen Jump" have increased by 2% compared to the previous year!

Don't underestimate this 2%, with the current volume of Shueisha,

Even a 0.5% increase is a significant increase.

And a very important point, WJ's loyal fans will not necessarily buy it on a regular basis.

Most of the sales volume in each phase is maintained at an average number.

There will be downward fluctuations, but generally not exceeded.

So if you include this part,

It seems like the recent sales increase is only 2%, but it's actually only more than that!

As for why it's so certain that the 2% increase is due to new readers...

Is it true that Shueisha Statistical Reader Questionnaire is statistically played?

Just count the replies of "Magic Circle" and find that female readers actually account for 60% of them!

When this data was counted at that time, the staff in charge of the statistics couldn't believe it and recounted it!

"Weekly Shonen Jump", as you can tell from the name, is aimed at men.

Although it is not that there are no female fans, the proportion may only be around 20% of the whole.

These female fans, it is impossible for everyone to like "Magic Circle".

Then it can only be a new group of people attracted by "Single Book"!

Now just the first volume of "The Magic Circle" has brought so many new groups,

It is foreseeable that as long as it continues to be serialized, it will attract more new traffic.

Even if only 50% of them can be retained,

For other authors, there are no small benefits!

For Shueisha as a whole, the benefits are even greater!

It is not an exaggeration to say that Qin Shi Huang touched the wires and won the hemp!

In public and private, they don't want "Magic Circle" to end.

is also the editor-in-chief, and he can naturally see the stakes clearly.

But what makes her different from others is that when they are only focused on the immediate interests,

What Minno is thinking about is the future!

All of this improvement is due to the fact that the author has drawn good works.

If Nangong Mu is asked to jump to other publishing houses because of contradictions, is there a bit of putting the cart before the horse?

Of course.

These guys don't necessarily fail to think about this.

It's just that in their eyes, the value of "Magic Circle" is greater than that of the creator himself.

It's very simple.

As long as this work continues to be painted, it will be able to bring a steady stream of traffic to Shueisha.

If it is finished, will the author himself be able to draw a work comparable to "The Magic Circle"?

"Probably not, right?"

There is no doubt that 90% of those present would think so.

Even if the other party shows enough talent and strength, they are not willing to bet on what the other party's next performance will be.

But......

"Don't pigeon me into these guys. "

Serialization can certainly minimize the risk.

If you don't take risks, where will you get the reward?

It's like the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

The two are the same.

So in the face of everyone's persuasion, Jun Ye Tang didn't say a word, and there was no superfluous expression on his face.

"Quiet. "

It wasn't until the old man sitting on the main seat spoke that the scene calmed down again.

Kazuma Torishima pointed his finger on the table, his eyes so deep that he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"Editor-in-chief Mino, you said that Nangong Jun applied to finish "Magic Circle", right?"

"Yes. "

"You've already seen the rest of the story, right?"

Minno nodded and then added, "In my opinion, there won't be a better ending than this~." "

"You, you!!"

Torishima and Light pointed at Mino, with a look of anger.

The other editors-in-chief remained silent, but there was excitement in their eyes.

Finally!

The favored editor-in-chief Minano, is going to be reproached by the editor-in-chief today!?

“...... With such a good thing, why forget me?!"

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for the follow-up to "Magic Circle"!!"

"Ten days, ten whole days!!"

"Do you know how I've been here for the past ten days?! Every day I live like a year, without "Magic Circle", my whole body is like an ant crawling!!"

"It's good for you to eat alone by yourself, and you don't think about me from beginning to end!!"

"If it weren't for today's regular meeting, would you have said!ah!!"

Editors-in-Chief: ??

Editor-in-chief: This should be scolding the editor-in-chief, right?

Should... Yes, right!?

It's the style of painting that scolds.,How is it a little bit like what we think... A little different!?

The editors-in-chief fell silent.

In the face of the editor-in-chief's self-blame, Minno also showed a look of shame.

"Sorry Mr. Editor-in-Chief. "

"Bang. "

Kazuko Torishima slapped the table angrily: "What's the use of apologizing!"

"If an apology is really useful, what else do you need the police to do!?"

"What are you supposed to do now, talking this nonsense here!?"

"I was wrong. "

Saying that, Minno also left from his position.

When Minno leaves the office, Kazuko Torishima puts away the anger on his face.

Expressionlessly, he knocked on the table.

"Ladies and gentlemen. "

"Although the editor-in-chief of Minano has handled this matter problematically, whether a work is finished or not depends mainly on the content. "

"If it's time for the story to end, let it end. "

"I trust the judgment of Editor-in-Chief Minano as an editor. "

Everyone could naturally hear the editor-in-chief's words, and someone immediately opened their mouths and wanted to refute them.

"But ......"

"Huh?"

The old man, who was originally kind, was not angry at this time.

Under the pressure of the momentum of the superior, the one who just wanted to speak was instantly closed.

Kazuko Torishima retracted his gaze and spoke in a flat tone:

"I don't want to say it a second time. "

"As for whether Mr. Nangong's work meets the criteria for completion, how about making a judgment after everyone has read it?"

"Hey!"

"As it should be. "

"Anyway, let's take a look. "

Half an hour later.

Under the leadership of Mino, Otosha saw Zhang and two other employees who were called,

Holding a thick stack of copies, I returned to the conference room.

Seeing everyone sitting here, Yin Sha saw Zhang secretly smacking his tongue.

"They are all big names at the top of the company!"

Then his eyes showed longing.

"I don't know when I'll be able to sit here for a meeting. "

Although he fantasized in his heart, it did not prevent Otosha from doing things in his hands.

Soon put the copy in his arms into the corresponding editor-in-chief position, and he was about to turn around and leave.

"The sound sand editor stayed. "

"Huh?" On this occasion, he was suddenly called by Minano, and Otosha was startled when he saw Zhang.

Pointing at himself, his face confused: "Me?"

"Teacher Nangong is in charge of you, and the meeting is related to him, so you can stay and listen to it. "

"Well... All right. "

Otosha saw a stiff nod on his face.

Feel the curiosity, scrutiny, inquiry, or insipid gaze from a big person,

The whole person was so nervous that he went into shock. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The other two staff members who were temporarily called to be strong men also looked at Zhang with envy before leaving.

Even if you don't do anything, just stand here and make a familiar face in front of the big guys, that's great!

Pity.

Nervous enough that he almost forgot to breathe, he didn't have the extra heart to pay attention to these at all.

Coming to the back of all the wild entanglements,

His back was straight and he stood like a bodyguard.

There was one more person in the conference room, and no one in the room cared.

The editor-in-chief didn't speak, and of course no one jumped out at this time without eyesight.

So let's take a look at what kind of surprises this work wants to end. "

With Torishima and Hikari spoke.

The crowd was also speechless, and focused on the copy in their hands.

Soon.

The room was silent, except for the rustling of pages.

As the attention of the big shots focused on the work, Otosha was also relieved to see Zhang.

first glanced at the environment in the conference room, and then quietly peeked at the editors-in-chief who usually only had faces.

There is also an editor-in-chief who has hardly even met in person.

Perhaps because his gaze was too piercing, the old man reading the book suddenly raised his head and looked at Otosha Zhang.

was so frightened that the little editor was directly stunned in place, with a face full of confusion.

Fortunately, the old man did not embarrass her, and with a kind smile, he returned his gaze to the work in his hand.

Yin Sha breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang.

"Do you feel that the editor-in-chief is unexpectedly easy to speak?"

Although she had such thoughts, she didn't dare to continue to look at them in the future.

Obediently stood behind Minano.

Only when he saw the thick manuscript in everyone's hands, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"How long will this be a head?"

No one knows the sorrow in the heart of the little editor.

Time also passes slowly.

Half an hour, an hour, an hour and a half......

"Whew. "

With a soft sigh, the originally silent room finally came back to life.

I have long stood on my legs, and under the pretext of going to the toilet, I have been out to rest several times, and my face showed a moment of joy.

Then he returned to his expressionless face and quietly moved his hands and feet.

The editor-in-chief, who had finished reading it, whispered to his colleague next to him about the plot he had just seen.

The room was a little more noisy.

A few minutes later.

"Ahem. "

Under the old man's silent reminder, the house was quiet again.

Kazuko Torishima spoke: "It seems that everyone has finished reading it." "

"Does anyone want to give their opinion?"

The old man was responded to by a wordless silence.

Wait a little.

Indeed, no one had any intention of speaking, so the old man continued:

"Since you don't want to say it, let me say it. "

"The end of the story doesn't need me to comment too much. "

"Two words to sum up, perfect. "

"A magical girl, itself represents a miracle. "

"It's just that how much miracle corresponds to how much despair in this story,

Madoka sacrifices herself to pave the way for the miracle of a magical girl. "

The foreshadowing planted in the front has also been effectively processed and recycled in the follow-up stories. "

"Even the pen name Nangong gave himself the warrior of love and hope,

The love and hope in it are also deeply felt. "

"It's just that this love and hope is a little too heavy. "

Torishima and Hikari made a little joke.

It's a pity that the back of the story is too full, and even if they are professional, it is difficult to smile on their faces at this time.

"What makes me feel the most is that at the end, I actually gave a small candy to the fans. "

"It's not too sweet, but it's memorable!"

Kazumitsu Torishima's face was full of emotion, and it seemed that the deep friendship of the young man when he was young appeared in front of him.

"Everyone!"

Bird Island and light raised a few decibels.

"It is true that with Xiao Meiyan's time ability, it is completely possible to develop one timeline after another, and add more plots on the existing basis. "

With Nangong's strength, fans will definitely buy it, and even look forward to it. "

"But!!"

Torishima and Hikari accentuate the tone.

"What kind of reason do you think we should use to reject a young and talented teenager and pursue his dreams!?"

Many people were ashamed, and Kazuko Torishima also spoke in a slightly slower tone:

"Money, fame...... That's the most important thing in the eyes of our group of filthy adults. "

"But he's not, he's just an underage child!!"

"These dirty things are not in his scope of consideration, and they don't need him to think about them. "

"Drawing the purest work with a child! Climbing that higher mountain is what he should do!!"

"I guess that should be his dream too!!"

"We old guys, not to mention that we can escort the dreams of teenagers, we shouldn't stop them. "

"Why don't you be a little bold and believe that this little guy can go far!?"

As Torishima and Hikari's words fell, the conference room fell silent.

Only this time the silence lasted only a few seconds before it was broken.

"Alas, it's me who is too narrow-minded. "

"The places that leave a fantasy are only more beautiful and shocking, and the story is complete here. (Zhao Qian Zhao) "That's just right, and any more would be rude." "

"I agree to finish. "

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!!"

In the blink of an eye, everyone's opinion was unanimous.

"Magic Circle" is over, unanimously approved!

"Worthy of the editor-in-chief!"

"That's amazing!!"

Otsusha saw that his eyes were shining and he looked at the old man on the main throne, and worship was written on his face.

Fortunately, Nangong Mu was not present and did not participate in this meeting.

Otherwise, when you hear the words of Kazuko Torishima, you will definitely burst into tears, clap your hands and call her six, and regard him as a confidant.

The matter was solved perfectly, and Kazuko Torishima also smiled and hammered his old waist with his hand,

joked: "Editor-in-chief Minano, next time this kind of thing happens, just say it in advance,

Let me, an old man, be prepared in advance. "

"I can't compare to you young people, who can sit for hours at a time. "

"Not to mention anything else, just my old waist can't bear it!"

"Poof. "

"Hahaha. "

Many people couldn't help but laugh out loud and joke along the way.

"Editor-in-Chief of Bird Island, why don't you buy you some kidneys?"

"It's all for work, the editor-in-chief's wife will forgive us, right?"

"You guys!" Kazuko Torishima made a look of feigned anger.

The crowd also smiled even brighter.

Minno showed an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, Mr. Editor-in-Chief. "

"I'll pay attention next time. "

Torishima and Hikari clapped their hands and said, "Okay, let's be serious, it's getting late now." "

"Quickly finish the rest of the agenda, and everyone can get off work. "

"That ......," Minno said, raising his hand, "Mr. Editor-in-Chief, I actually have one more thing that I haven't had time to finish. "

Torishima and Bare Eyebrow's hearts jumped, and a bad premonition welled up in their hearts.

But he still stubbornly said, "You say." "

In addition to the end of "Magic Circle", Mr. Nangong also provided a new project. "

"I think I have a lot of potential, and I fully qualified to be serialized on Weekly Shonen Jump!"

Kazuko Torishima: ??

All:???.
