Chapter 1058 1067, "Slam Dunk" Is Officially Serialized!!

The rainy season has never stopped.

In the study room of Yamazakuin, Naoki Nagayama is writing the novel "Jurassic Park".

There are several thick reference books on the desk, and the manuscript is now typed on the computer, which is much faster than using a typewriter in the past, and it is easier to modify.

"It would be great if there was the Internet." Naoki Nagayama was still not satisfied. He looked at the simple desktop of the computer and complained, "Well, just search for these dragons."

"Dong dong~"

There was a knock on the study door, and then Akina walked in,

"It's been an hour, Naoki-san, it's time for your eyes to rest!"

"."

Ever since Naoki Nagayama felt his eyes were a little tired a few days ago, he knew that he might have overused his eyes during this period. If he continued like this, he would become myopic again like before.

After telling Akina that she would work for an hour and take a fifteen-minute break, Akina remembered it well and came over on time to remind her.

"Hi~" Nagayama Naoki stood up, walked to Akina and protected her a little, "Akina calls out from the first floor, or you can ask Yotaro to come over and call out. Aren't you tired of walking up the stairs by yourself?"

"How can you be so weak!" Akina said plausibly with her big belly, "My mother was still busy in the store when she gave birth to me!"

"That's what their generation has to do. Akina doesn't have to do this."

"I mean I'm strong!"

"Hi hi~"

Hearing her husband's perfunctory answer, Akina-san wanted to roll up her sleeves to show him the muscle knots on her arms.

How should I put it? Although Akina has a weak image since she grew up, she actually still has some muscles.

"Okay, okay, don't make such a dishonorable move!" Nagayama Naoki quickly pressed down Akina's arm, "I'm going to be a mother!"

".嘁~"

After eating some cut fruits downstairs and sitting on the porch for a while, Akina and Nagayama Naoki talked about some household matters.

"Mom and eldest sister will come to Tokyo to visit me tomorrow. Will Naoki-san go out tomorrow?"

"Probably not. When will my mother-in-law arrive tomorrow?" Nagayama Naoki asked, "Do I need to pick her up?"

"No need to take the train over."

In fact, Yamazakuin is not far from the station, and it is not troublesome to walk there. Nagayama Naoki is just worried that they will bring some heavy things.

"Anyway, I'll pick you up at the station."

After talking about playing with the dog and cat for a while, Nagayama Naoki was about to go back to the study to continue writing a novel, when he saw Mrs. Nonaka Mari, who had just returned from shopping, taking something out of the mailbox at the door and bringing it in with her.

"Naoki-san, Akina-chan" Nonaka Mori was a little surprised, "You've also ordered a manga?"

"Ah manga" Nagayama Naoki responded, "It's "Weekly Shonen Sunday", right?"

"Hi~"

"That's right!"

Nagayama Naoki stood up and took the latest issue of the comic magazine, held it next to Akina and said:

"It's the work of a comic studio owned by Shuyou. It should be serialized starting today!"

"'Slam Dunk'?"

Akina came over curiously. She also knew that her husband's company was producing a comic recently, but it was not a girl's comic, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

"Um"

Nagayama Naoki opened the cover, and sure enough, on the cover there was Sakuragi Hanamichi wearing a bright red basketball uniform and a uniform painting. The bright red hair looked more like a delinquent than a basketball player.

"It's actually a cover promotion!"

"yes."

Nagayama Naoki did not continue to pay attention to the subsequent publication. These should be communicated between Itou Shuichi and Shogakukan, but it seems that the editorial department is also very optimistic about this comic and gave it a promotional position on the cover.

Nagayama Naoki opened the magazine and directly turned to the page of the serial "Slam Dunk", and started reading it with Akina.

Although I have read it before, there is always a different feeling between the original drawings and the comics published in the magazine. Two chapters were actually serialized in the first issue? Is this preferential treatment? !

"Naoki-san, why do you think it's a funny show?"

Akina laughed when she saw Sakuragi Hanamichi appear.

"It's the same as Hoshino Tatsuro in "101 Proposals", but it's a pity that he was rejected only fifty times."

"Haha, this is called being rejected. Maybe it will become a popular character design for the protagonist in the future!"

Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, there are also the annulment stream, the waste stream, the mortal stream, etc. Watch me, Nagayama Naoki, take them all out in the future!

"But it shouldn't be. Sakuragi Hanamichi is tall, looks good and has personality. He is a bad student and should be very popular with some girls on campus."

Akina didn't understand. According to the criteria for junior high school and high school, being tall was actually a hard requirement.

"Maybe you want to find a good girl?"

The two of them started discussing this topic, and before they knew it, the "Slam Dunk" that had just been published was finished.

"It's really a comic series!"

Director Takamoto Ogasawara of Toei was very surprised when he took the "Weekly Shōnen Sunday" just delivered by his assistant.

Because the producer of "Slam Dunk" clearly has the name "Tree Friends Comic Studio" written on it.

"Yes. It's really serialized!" Assistant Minister Toru Nakano replied respectfully, "Because they have been paying attention to the trends of Shuyou Group, their senior management knew a few days ago that their comic studio was going to produce results."

"Naoki Nagayama, if you don't make a good movie, why are you doing this mess? It's not a hot-blooded battle series like "Hot Blood High School"."

Ogasawara Takafumi casually flipped through the comic magazines and glanced at "Slam Dunk". At his current age and level, he has no interest in comics at all. Children's stuff is not worthy of attention at all. !

And basketball is not a very famous sport either.

Even if you want to adapt it into animation, you can directly negotiate the copyright with Shogakukan and Shueisha. This is what Toei's animation business line does, and you can also directly obtain popular comics.

If Shuyou Group hadn't suddenly intervened in the animation industry, he wouldn't have even watched "Weekly Shōnen Sunday".

"Perhaps Naoki Nagayama was just a whim?" Assistant Toru Nakano said.

"No, no, no, don't underestimate Naoki Nagayama!" Ogasawara Takafumi shook his head, "When I first mentioned the film festival last year, I thought he just wanted to hold a small event for movie fans, and he made it happen. Tokyo International Film Festival”

"There must be ambition this time!"

"Then let's continue to pay attention?" Tohru Nakano asked.

"No." Ogasawara Takafumi pondered for a moment, "We need to strengthen the talent pool in the animation business line, and also get involved in the comics sector. Let's take it in our hands first. Anyway, we are just spending a little money to see what Naoki Nagayama will do next! "

".Hi!"

When Shuyou first announced that they were going to enter the animation industry, everyone thought it was just talk. Until they officially started recruiting animation talents, everyone knew they were serious.

And just when everyone thought it would take at least a while to prepare, the comic studio of Shuyou Group has already started serializing the first comic!

This speed surprised the film production company that was originally following the steps. It seemed that they had seen the sudden rise of Shuyou a few years ago!

But this time, many film companies have begun to learn. In addition to Toei and Toho, which already have animation business lines, other companies have more or less begun to invest in animation studios.

Just like with the boom in the stock market, many companies have begun to establish internal stock investment departments. This has made comics workers who were originally unpopular suddenly feel like they are being competed for~

"Weekly Shonen Sunday", as its name suggests, is not published on weekends, but on Wednesdays.

So the real audience actually sees the latest issue of the magazine after school in the afternoon.

Juto Ando from junior high school was one of them. He finally waited until school was over and ran towards the comic shop as soon as he left school.

"The latest episode of "Dragon Ball" should be out by now! I wonder who Goku will fight this time!"

With these words on his lips, Juto Ando quickly arrived at the comic shop near the school. Then he looked at each other and the store manager, and he knew the location of the latest magazine without saying anything during the exchange of glances.

This is the tacit understanding between comic fans and comic shop owners!

But after getting the magazine, Judou Ando looked at the cover and was a little surprised:

"How come there is also a new comic that takes up so much space, "SLAM DUNK"."

After flipping through it for a while, Judou Ando felt inexplicably dissatisfied when looking at the impressive paintings:

"I want to see what comics have such a big battle!"

Just when Judo Ando wanted to continue watching, the shop owner Sang came over and looked at him with calm eyes. Want to have sex for free without paying? !

"."

Judou Ando understood instantly, a touch of sadness arose in his heart, and he looked at the store manager with accusing eyes. Is the tacit understanding between us so worthless? ! Am I the kind of person who reads comics for free without paying? !

However, the store manager's eyes were still and he was not impressed at all. Yes! You are that kind of person!

Clenching his hands, Juto Ando, ​​who was looked down upon, wanted to refute, but he had to give in under the pressure of the store manager's eyes, and tremblingly took out this week's pocket money from his pocket.

"for you!"

After closing his eyes and handing the money to the store manager, Ando Juto shook his head and wanted to leave the comic store!

He finally understood that this store was just a place to make money, and the store manager was just a cold businessman, without any of the passionate romance in the comics!

Was it paid in error?

However, his leaving body was stopped, and the store manager put a strong arm on his shoulder, as if he wanted to tell him thousands of secret words.

Ando Juto turned around and met the store manager's eyes. There seemed to be a different emotion in there than just now.

"Store manager Sang?"

Are you going to apologize? Then I will reluctantly accept it! Juto Ando thinks so~

The store manager opened his palm and inside was a banknote and a few coins.

"Not enough money!"

"."

After a long time, Judo Ando finally collected enough change from the corner of his schoolbag, and then walked out of the store with "Weekly Shōnen Sunday".

He keeps complaining that the store manager is unkind and doesn't even offer discounts to old customers.

Then I opened the comic while walking:

"I want to see if this "SLAM DUNK" is worth it!"

So Judo Ando started looking at it on the road, and the corners of his mouth turned up at some point, and then he sat on a chair in the park without knowing it.

"Oh ho? Basketball looks fun!"

"Would you like to join a basketball club and check out SLAM DUNK? I should be able to do that too, right?!"

At the same time, more and more comic fans in various neon comic stores have seen the latest version of "Weekly Shonen Sunday". Everyone is very curious about the new serialization of "Slam Dunk", and friends who share the same hobby They discussed it.

More and more people have learned about the comic series "Slam Dunk", and most people have given positive comments to this comic that combines passion, comedy, youth and sports.

In Neon, basketball is actually not the most popular sport. It is far less popular than baseball, football, sumo wrestling and other sports. Even more people like to watch boxing than basketball.

"Looks like basketball is very interesting~" "Did you play basketball just to chase girls? Sure enough, Sese is the first productive force!" "I want to see Sakuragi Hanamichi enter the bottle!" "."

The fame of "Slam Dunk" spread among the people~

"The next episode will not be available until next week." "Call the publisher and ask the artist to draw more!"

The filming base in Ota Ward.

The filming of "Tiger of Ginza" is almost halfway through. In this era, Neon's film industry is much more advanced than that of Hong Kong. Not to mention other things, it is such a large filming base. Even if you search all over Hong Kong, you can't squeeze out such a large space. piece.

"The shooting went very smoothly~" Komori Masataka chatted with Kijima Kyor during the break, "It looks like the shooting will be completed by the end of the month, right?"

"Hi," Kijima Xu nodded. Commercial films in this era inherently pursue speed. "Editing can start in July."

"It's so fast!"

Komori Masataka recalled that when he first started, he would borrow a car from his employer for a high-end car.

"How is the protagonist? Is the performance good?"

"The male protagonist played by Leslie is very layered. When he plays the protagonist in different stages, he can switch freely."

Speaking of Leslie Cheung, Kijima Xu was full of satisfaction, which also showed his precise vision!

“I can’t wait to see the movie come out!”

"Well, there was a lot of publicity during the production." Masataka Komori said, "The second phase of publicity is about to begin. Kijima, what kind of scene do you want reporters to shoot when they visit the team?"

"Well" Kijima Kyor's eyes lit up, "Just that scene, having sex on a bed made of US dollars."

"Uh, sex scene."

Komori Masataka was stunned for a moment. Although he also wanted to watch that scene, in order to respect the actors, only a few necessary staff would be left in the room during the filming of the sex scene!

"Nao Saejima and Leslie Cheung wouldn't agree to be photographed by reporters."

"It's not about reporting on a bed scene! Of course it can't be revealed!" Kijima Kyor said, "It's about filming a bed covered with US dollars!"

"Haven't Masataka-kun ever thought about lying on a bed made of money?"

"." Komori Masataka turned his head and looked to the side, "I didn't!"

"Don't dare think it, don't dare say it!"

"No! I'm not that vulgar!"

Kijima Xu didn't want to continue to expose his friend, so he returned to the topic just now,

"The reporter was asked to film this scene because he wanted to highlight how extravagant the protagonist of the movie was after making money."

"Are you using this as a gimmick?" Komori Masataka nodded, "If you do the interview during the cruise party,"

"Don't we have materials? Just provide some!"

Kijima Xu said,

"Anyway, we need to let the media know that we are filming a movie that is full of money and luxury!"

Komori Masataka agreed: "Yeah, you're right!"

Then I heard Kijima Xu continue to say:

"By the way, we still need to invite Naoki-san to come and have a look during this period. See if the extravagant scene we arranged is consistent with the real situation."

"Naoki-san?"

"Yes, Naoki-san is the richest person we know! If he can't see any flaws, there should be no problem!"

".It makes sense."
