Chapter 66 The Story

The people from Shueisha did not let Shimizu Toru and Nanami wait too long. Before Kishida Masaaki's second cigarette burned, two almost identical knocks suddenly sounded in the office of Hayami's study.

Without leaving the window, Kishida replied lazily, "Come in, the door is not locked."

"I've been disturbed."

Entering the office with mechanical words was a middle-aged man in a suit. His back was straight and his leather shoes were polished. The standard short hair of office workers seemed to be measured with a ruler. The stereotypical and serious expression on his face made Qumizuho feel so dazed that he was looking at a precision clock.

"It's them, Dayuan, you can talk about it yourself." Kishida waved his hand, took a deep breath of the cigarette butt at his fingertips, as if he was still worried about Shimizu Tetsu's new book.

The editor named Dayuan was also accustomed to his attitude. He walked to Qingshuiche with a yardstick and gave him a business card with both hands and bowed at a standard thirty degrees.

"All is Dayuanyang, the editor of Shueisha's "Weekly Youth Jump", please give me some advice when you meet for the first time."

His style made Shimizuchi inexplicably wonder: Why does such a rigorous person look good with the rather casual Masaaki Kishida?

However, I didn't have time to sigh at the wonders of people, and Shimizu Chok quickly returned the gift.

"I am Shimizu Toru, this is Nanami, Nanami, please come here after get off work."

"Because you have to cooperate with the comics, there is no fixed commuting hours for comic editors."

Halfway through, the editor of Dayuan suddenly stopped and looked straight at the other people's actions.

The embarrassment spread in the air for a few seconds before Shimizu Tetsu reacted a little: Did he just...was he just joking?

However, with his serious expression when he spoke, even if he said he was Oda Nobunaga again, someone would believe it!

After silently complaining, Qingshui chuckled the corners of her stiff mouth and laughed dryly, then quickly changed the question.

"Editor Dayuan, I'm invited you this time because I have a work that I want to adapt into a comic."

As expected, no longer pay attention to the joke's reaction, Oyuanyang stretched out his hand, "Kishida told me that since that's the case, please let Shimizu Sang let me see the original work first."

Glance at Nanami, who was holding a paper bag, Shimizu Tetsu said, "Don't you read the original manuscript?"

"No need. and the core of the comics are stories. As Kuramizu, the story should be better expressed through this form."

This person...is really straightforward...

Handing him the first chapter of "Haijie Diary", Shimizu Tetsu pulled up Nanami, who was pursing his lips and was waiting silently.

Dayuanyang mechanically scanned the manuscript until half an hour later...

"It's a good story after reading it. Although it seems to be just an ordinary daily life at first, it feels inexplicably relaxed after reading it. Thinking about it carefully, it's like a cup of good tea, which makes people feel endless aftertaste."

"That's about adapting into a comic?"

"No problem. This calm and soothing story paired with a soft and warm style has a certain market for readers of all ages. From the story itself, I ask Shimizu Sang to give this work to us Shueisha. Of course, your request can also be discussed."

Seeing Nanami Nanami breathing a sigh of relief, Shimizu Tetsuki relaxed as well.

"Then please ask Dayuan to edit it. As for the requirement... the original work of this book will be serialized in the form of a monthly magazine in Hayami Study. I hope the adapted comics can also be synchronized."

"This is no problem," as if it was a preset program, Dayuanyang agreed instantly, "but due to the layout restrictions, it may be necessary to control the length of each episode of the comic."

After looking at Nanami Shimizu nodded again, Shimizu Toru continued, "In addition, I hope that Nanami Shimizu, who is next to me, will be responsible for the painting of the manga."

Dayuanyang raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Is that the lady?"

"Yes."

"Wait," Dayuanyang nodded his forehead with his hands, and opened his eyes a few dozen seconds later, "I need to look at the original painting."

Nanami, Shimi handed over the paper bag that she had been holding in front of her, and said the first sentence since the meeting, "Please."

She was inevitably a little uneasy when she left school for the first time and was placed on the market for others to judge her.

"Um…"

Dayuanyang dragged his nasal sound, nodded from time to time, his eyebrows frowned and loosened. After browsing, he took out a few more pictures and looked at them carefully, making people unable to guess his attitude.

After a long time, he spoke, "I am blunt, Miss Qijian's comics are still somewhat different. Are you a novice?"

"Ah, yes."

"Have you studied professional painting?"

"That's right."

"Sure enough," Dayuanyang nodded and raised a painting. "The traces of orthodox paintings in Miss Qijian's works are very heavy. There are too many details in the same picture, and the characters are also more realistic. Looking at the overall look, it is inconsistent with the original style of relaxing. The readers look very tired, and the cartoonist is even more tired when painting."

Before Shinoki could see Nanami react, he turned to Shimizu Toru again.

"Qingmizu Sang, if you agree that we are looking for a cartoonist in charge of painting, I can guarantee that the adapted works can be serialized on our most circulated "Weekly Jump", and with this story, I can convince the editor-in-chief."

Holding Nanami Nanami's slender palm, Shimizu Tetsu shook his head and said, "Editor Oyuan, this is not a requirement, but a bottom line. Moreover, is Qijian's painting skills really not enough?"

"Not that," Dayuanyang told the truth, "but it is still a bit far from "Weekly YoungJump", and it is enough to be placed in the second-level "Weekly YoungJump". However, the circulation volume of the two is not at the same level, and the influence is also very different."

"Then it will be serialized in the Weekly YoungJump."

"In this case, I need to go back and discuss with the editor, and I cannot give any guarantee."

"Please edit it in Dayuan."

"Just work."

The air suddenly stopped for a few seconds. It was not until he saw a bitter smile on Shimizu Tetsu's face that Oyuanyang picked up his briefcase and shouted to the window: "Kishida, leave."

"oh."

Looking at the office door closing, Shimizu Tetsu put away her smile and turned to Nanami, who breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's wait for his reply next."

Then I felt the chill on her hands.

"Qingshui, thank you."

"Nothing. This is actually your story, I won't give it to anyone else."

At the same time, there are also discussions about stories in the Kotanshe building.

"With this, you should be able to write a good story, right?" Yamaaka Takashi sat behind his desk, leaned over and pushed a photo to the person opposite him.

Opposite the table, the young man with long hair narrowed his eyes.

"It turns out that Shimizu Toru and Reina Nonian had such contact. Director Yamanaka, if you had given me this a long time ago, it would have been more than just a selection and favoritism."

"The trump card must be kept until the end and opened. I'm still protecting him these two days, and even gaining a little bit of an advantage in public opinion, making it seem like we are slandering him. But it's just that when you give him a fatal blow, it's so satisfying!"

"That's the reason," said the long-haired man slowly, "What level does the director of the mountain want us to write? Such a photo can say that the two are friends, and the couple can do it, or something else..."

"No, no, no," Takashi Yamaakaya leaned on the chair with a look of complacent expression, "These are all too ordinary. Think about it carefully, what kind of reports are the most interesting for a president or an artist?"

"You mean...physical transactions? Pillow business?"

"Of course," Takashi Yamaakana raised his lips, "Otherwise, why did that Shimizu Tetsu troubled and worked hard to help her take the heroine's position? You also know that the authenticity of such a thing doesn't matter at all, it depends on what the public wants to see. With such a flashy plot, the public will believe that the two of them are just friends? As long as they write it out, it will definitely ruin him!"

"Yes. Then let's write from this perspective. But... Director of the Shanaka, why is that Shimizu Tetsuya also a writer? Will this be offended by people in the literary world?"

"What are you afraid of?" Takashi Yamaakaya scoffed at the concerns of the long-haired man, "Who told him not to write well and get involved in the art world? Besides, we are dealing with the screenwriter Shimizu Tetsu, not the writer Shimizu Tetsu. What's more, the directors of Yamaakaya also know about this, you just write well."

"He is also the director? I understand, understand. The director of the mountain, I'll go and prepare."

"Go."

Leaving Yamaakashi's office, the long-haired man looked at the photo on his hand and bounced it on it casually.

"The shot was quite beautiful. But meeting me is just a bad luck."
