Chapter 223 This Is Oda Shingo's JOJO!
When Springfield Bookstore officially announced the entry of Oda Shingo, the reaction of online public opinion was very intriguing.
Less than half an hour after the official announcement, a large number of commentary articles had appeared.
[Oda Shingo's entry into "Champion", is it a moral decline or the rampant capital? ]
[Is there a future? Springfield Bookstore, which claims to be the fourth largest comic paper media, will only delay Oda Shingo's comics! ]
[Oda Shingo joining Springfield Bookstore can only be one possibility: the top three comics companies cannot tolerate him with eccentric behavior! ]
[Oda Shingo, who is arrogant and proud of his talent, has finally fallen to the point of being able to join a second-rate comics company! ]
All kinds of pessimistic remarks are flying all over the sky like snowflakes.
There is a very interesting situation involved, which is the status of Springfield Bookstore.
Springfield Bookstore has always claimed to be the fourth largest comics company, but the circulation of its "Champion" is indeed worrying, with less than 700,000 copies, and the circulation in the first week is as low as 500,000.
Compared with the three major comics companies, Qun-Ei-Sha, Lecture Club, and Gakushikan, which have sales of millions of copies, it is the younger brother among the younger brothers.
The reason why it ranks fourth is actually due to its distribution channels. Springfield Bookstore has a more developed direct-controlled bookstore system than Qun-Ei-Sha, from Kanto to Kansai. It even controls one-third of the channels in paper media news.
It's just poor Springfield Bookstore, it calls itself the fourth. Whether it is the mainstream media or the three major comics companies, they don't regard it as the fourth brother.
So the current online public opinion comments on Oda Shingo's entry, all from the perspective of joining too badly.
What's more, they began to follow the rhythm of Oda Shingo's comics.
[Oda Shingo's "Parasyte" is suspected of discriminating against women, and Tamiya Yoshiko does not develop a career but takes care of children. This is prejudice against women! ]
[The two sisters in "One Punch Man" have huge differences in body shape, which is suspected of implying that the mothers of the two girls are not behaving properly! 】
【There are so many men in the B-class hero group of Fubuki in "One Punch Man", Oda Shingo is suspected of smuggling private goods! It is a satire that beautiful women like to support men! 】
After Fujido Kaoru collected these materials, he handed them over to Oda Shingo for decision.
"Let lawyer Kumemon sue them all! Tell him that 100% of the proceeds from the lawsuit belong to him!" Oda Shingo's eyes were cold, his blood was cold, and his heart was cold.
This matter is clear, it is the group of vice president Koyama of Qunyingsha who are blackening him. How could Oda Shingo swallow this breath?
You can say that I am bad at drawing, but if you want to lead the rhythm of boxing, wait for the lawsuit!
It is said that lawyer Kumemon specially studied Oda Shingo's comics in order to fight the lawsuit, and he became a fan. Now fighting for Oda Shingo is like letting a wild dog out, making money and venting anger.
Although a lawsuit in Japan can take one or two years, the court's enforcement is still very powerful. Moreover, the credit system will directly affect the economic activities of the parties involved in the future, so Oda Shingo does not need to worry about this.
Oda Shingo did notice that some fans have begun to organize themselves and buy the new issue of "Champion" together to show their support for Oda Shingo.
Among them, the most eye-catching is the call made by Yuko Mikami in her personal column.
[Support Mr. Oda, the new issue of "Champion" must be easy to buy, Yuzu is a giant and gives you a heart (*^▽^*)]
"Yuko is still very thoughtful." Oda Shingo smiled, worthy of being a teammate recommended by the system.
He looked at the readers' encouragement words that had been posted on the wall and continued to work.
Fans need Oda Shingo.
"Boss, order a copy of this issue of "Champion"."
"Huh? You also order it?" The boss is older and not very sensitive to online public opinion.
"Does Shingo Oda know? Shingo Oda! He has started serializing new comics in "Champion"!" Just as Jerusalem cannot be without Tifa, readers are looking forward to the update of Shingo Oda's new comics.
There are also many neutral comic fans who want to take a look: "I will wait for the evaluation before deciding whether to join the pit."
Not only the fans are looking forward to it, but also the people themselves.
"Excuse me, Mr. Oda." Assistant Okita came to Shingo Oda's studio.
He came to pick up the manuscript of the new work.
In order to test the reading effect, Shingo Oda's new comic content was not told to Saburo Mikami. Even when he came that day, he didn't show him the manuscript.
After Assistant Okita sat down on the sofa, his back was straight, like a new employee who was about to face an interview.
"Okita-kun, we are very familiar with each other, there is no need." Shingo Oda smiled.
But Assistant Okita didn't relax at all, and said seriously with a stern face: "Teacher Oda, this is my attitude."
He solemnly took the thick envelope handed over by Shingo Oda with both hands.
Oda Shingo noticed that his hands were shaking a little.
"Not that serious, right?" Oda Shingo smiled.
Although this comic took a lot of effort, why was Assistant Okita so excited?
"Ah, sorry, but I'm really excited." Assistant Okita didn't dare to open the envelope.
He looked at Oda Shingo: "Teacher Oda, several colleagues and I followed Director Mikami to Springfield Bookstore. Although I didn't feel any oppression in the new environment, Director Mikami was under a lot of pressure!"
Oda Shingo also became serious.
Saburo Mikami was able to go to Springfield Bookstore, and he knew very well that Mrs. Yukino must have helped behind the scenes. To some extent, it was because of his fierce confrontation with the Koyama lineage that affected the web department, but it also helped him.
They achieved each other.
And when he arrived at Springfield Bookstore, his new comic was definitely the flagship work of Saburo Mikami.
"Take a look at my new work, maybe your pressure can be relieved a little."
"Hi!"
Assistant Okita carefully opened the envelope.
He was stunned when he saw the name.
"Jojo's Bizarre Adventure".
Why does this naming method have a feeling of the Showa era?
Could it be that Mr. Oda really embarked on the road of retro because he carried the banner of the Showa style?
His heart was lifted up all of a sudden.
If it is really a retro comic, it may be a flop!
Assistant Okita continued to read it, and it took more than 20 minutes.
Seeing that he was reading it carefully, Oda Shingo did not wait for him and continued his work.
Assistant Okita didn't notice that Mr. Oda had left. He didn't let out a long sigh until he finished reading all 150 pages in one go.
He just sat there for a while, staring at the manuscript for a while, and then looked up at Oda Shingo.
This book sets a concept, and this concept really makes people have many ideas.
Stand-in!
This setting is amazing!
Even though I have been an editor for many years, I couldn't help but guess the next plot after reading it for half a day.
However, will the market response be good... Assistant Okita shook his head and threw away his vague worries.
"Ah, Mr. Oda." He was embarrassed to find that the other party had returned to the workbench, and hurriedly got up and went over.
Oda Shingo waved his hand: "If you think it's okay, send it to Mikami Saburo for review."
"Of course it's okay!" Assistant Okita stood at attention, "I will ensure the safety of the manuscript with my life, and the manuscript is still there..."
"Don't raise the flag, go quickly." Oda Shingo quickly interrupted him.
Assistant Okita walked to the door, and just before closing it, he suddenly said, "Teacher Oda, you are the most enthusiastic manga artist I have ever seen to submit manuscripts!"
Oda Shingo smiled, "It seems that you have very painful memories?"
Assistant Okita touched his head embarrassedly, "Indeed."
There are so many interesting stories about manga editors urging manuscripts that it would take three days and three nights to tell them all.
Oda Shingo's new manga "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" was published on the official manga website of Springfield Bookstore.
The postscript was based on Oda Shingo's request, with only a few words:
"This is Oda Shingo's JOJO!"
Attached, there is also a very distinctive single picture.
Seeing the name and style full of Showa style, the haters immediately climaxed!
