Chapter 415 How to Beat "Inuyasha"?
"Inuyasha", the irreplaceable masterpiece of Rumiko Takahashi on Earth.
When it comes to comedy, "Urusei Yatsura" can be regarded as a representative work; when it comes to romance, "The Moment of Gathering" can be regarded as a representative work; when it comes to human nature, "The Mermaid Forest" can be regarded as a representative work; when it comes to monsters, "The Boundary of Samsara" can be regarded as a representative work; when it comes to comedy + romance, "Ranma 1/2" can be regarded as a representative work.
When it comes to Rumiko Takahashi, if you only pick one representative work, it must be "Inuyasha"!
If Oda Shingo can only choose to watch the works of one female cartoonist, he must choose the works of Rumiko Takahashi.
As the head of female cartoonists, it is difficult to pick a second person except Rumiko Takahashi.
On Earth, this female cartoonist who has won many awards and has often sold out has always been single. Moreover, she only employs female assistants at work, believing that male assistants will destroy the creative atmosphere...
Many comic critics said: Teacher Takahashi draws love too beautifully, so it is difficult to find an ideal partner in reality.
Well, Takahashi Rumiko is considered a top single rich woman in the comics industry.
What worries Oda Shingo the most is, if Kurokawa Rumiko can really draw "Inuyasha", what should he do?
It's really hard for him to deal with the level of "Inuyasha".
Fortunately, it takes time to create a comic. I believe Kurokawa Rumiko won't come up with this comic so quickly in at least half a month, right?
Then I still have some time to think about which comic can take on the challenge... Oda Shingo spent two consecutive days thinking about this countermeasure during his rest time.
A cup of hot tea was placed on the table, and Namikaze Yukaku came over.
"What's wrong? Is there something troubling you?" Namikaze Yukaku had long noticed that he was worried, and found an opportunity to come over and ask.
"Ah, I'm wondering what new comics Kurokawa Rumiko will come out with next."
"Can she draw new comics?" In Namikaze Yukaku's heart, Oda Shingo is the only genius.
Oda Shingo frowned: "I think so, and she also said she wants to plan a new comic."
"Are you worried about this?" Namikaze Yukaku thought about it, not knowing how to comfort him.
Should I tell him that you are a genius and will definitely win? Or with me and several other assistants, we will definitely win?
It seems that neither is very safe.
Should I kill Kurokawa Rumiko myself? This seems to be a good way to solve the problem once and for all. But...
Namikaze Yukaku looked at Oda Shingo: "I feel that when you are thinking seriously, you are not in a bad mood."
Because she noticed that when he drank the cup of black tea that had just been poured, he would happily put a piece of sugar in it.
It is rare for Japanese people to put sugar in tea, because this would violate the tradition of the so-called true meaning of the tea ceremony. If you dare to do this in the tea ceremony club, you will definitely be pointed at and kicked out by your predecessors.
But Namikaze Yukaku likes to see Oda Shingo put sugar in the tea he poured, which shows that he is drinking seriously and will choose his favorite flavor.
Next time, I'll give him some sweets in advance...
"Yes, life is happy only when you have an opponent." Oda Shingo smiled.
"That is to say, Kurokawa Rumiko is quite qualified as an opponent?" As a ninja, Namikaze Yukaku understands that an equal opponent is also a pleasure to some extent.
Oda Shingo nodded: "Yes, so don't think about murdering her."
He guessed it, Namikaze Yukaku smiled slightly, and did not answer directly, but asked: "Is there anything I can help you with? At least two people are thinking about a problem, and the difficulty is reduced by half."
"One more person can be reduced to one-third of the original!" Fujido Kaoru also came over.
Mikami Yuko also came over: "One quarter is also OK!"
Oda Shingo looked at the girls gathering together, and his mood inexplicably improved a lot.
In the past, they gathered together in jealousy, which only made people feel headache. But when solving difficulties, they are still quite reliable.
Oda Shingo glanced at Mrs. Yukino on the sofa next to him.
Mrs. Yukino didn't come over at all, just shook the setting book in her hand: "The difficulty has been reduced to one-fourth. If you still can't solve it, don't expect to win."
Oda Shingo made an OK gesture, and then told a few girls about his assumptions: "I can guess what kind of counterattack Kurokawa Rumiko will make, and it can be foreseen that this counterattack will be very strong!"
"You mean guessing the plot of the comics?" Mikami Yuko remembered that he estimated the content of Kurokawa Rumiko's "One Moment Apartment" last time.
Fujido Kaoru looked incredulous: "Can't I guess it again?"
The last time was too magical.
Oda Shingo said seriously: "I should be able to guess the general content of her story, but with her level, the quality of the things she draws is getting higher and higher. I am worried that I can't draw a better work."
He was telling the truth.
There are many comics that have sold more than "Inuyasha", such as several representative comics of migrant workers such as Shikakai, or "Saint Seiya", "Dragon Ball", "Xia Tan Han Yuliang" and so on.
But in terms of comic quality, artistic level and status in the hearts of comic fans, it is too difficult to find someone who can surpass it.
"Can't you draw it?" Yuko Mikami and Kaoru Fujido also frowned, "Even if we are here, it won't work?"
Oda Shingo nodded apologetically: "It's not our problem, but her level is too high. We can be on par, but it's too difficult to surpass her."
Mikami Yuko and Toudo Kaori nodded. It seemed that Oda Shingo was not lacking confidence, but that he analyzed the situation very objectively.
So, it’s hard to beat Rumiko Kurokawa’s next work?
"That's what you're worried about? You predicted that her new work would be of high standard, and you even guessed what she would draw, but you think you can't win?" Todo Kouchi suddenly laughed, and even punched Oda Shingo on the shoulder with joy. , seemed to have heard the funniest joke.
"You are too strong..." Oda Shingo grinned in pain.
Todo Xiangcheng talked about the past: "When I was a child, my father and I had a competition to eat steamed buns in the morning. Each had a pot of steamed buns. When the two of us competed together, he always ate faster. Guess how I won?"
Mikami Yuko quickly asked: "How did you win?"
Toudo Xiangcheng stood up and walked back and forth for a few steps in a pretentious manner. After Yuko Mikami's eyes shone with envy as her figure trembled, she wagged her fingers proudly and said, "I'll advance in advance." I woke up in an hour and ate both pots of steamed buns!”
Oda Shingo was ashamed: "Were you okay at that time?"
"It's okay, it's just that I can't move."
"..." Oda Shingo wondered whether Toudou Xiangcheng's stomach was made of rubber bands.
However, what she said makes sense!
Oda Shingo suddenly woke up.
He turned on his computer and started typing quickly.
A large number of plot setting drafts began to flow out on the computer screen like the Yellow River overflowing.
Oda Shingo's eyes glowed green.
The girls looked at him with relief.
Namikaze Yukaku and Mikami Yuko gave a thumbs up to Todo Kojo.
That night, Oda Shingo's plot setting draft was handed over to the agent.
The next morning, after Oda Shingo got the notarized receipt of the manuscript, he took the initiative to call Rumiko Kurokawa.
"I have a business, Miss Kurokawa, are you interested?"
