"Welcome!" The male owner wearing a white scarf on her head greeted Ai Fei with a smile: "The last time I thanked you for patronizing here, I never had the chance to thank you. It's so rude!"

"Where, you are so polite." Ai Fei smiled slightly: "Is there anything new to introduce today?"

"Hi! There is a newly salvaged herring, do you want to taste it?"

"Sakura Kun, do you want some beer?"

"Uh..." Sakai Shima hesitated for a moment: "...it's still not necessary?"

"It is better to have Japanese food with Japanese wine." Ai Fei waved his hand: "Hey, get two bottles of sake."

"Hi!"

A lady in a pink floral kimono walked up with a small step and brought a stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed stewed ste

Ai Fei raised his face and looked at the charming boss's wife: "This is my friend, and he may become my colleague in the future. Sakai Nanmajun and Sakai Jun, this is Ms. Nagasaki Essentiko, the owner of the Whale Fish Restaurant. Well, compared with Mr. Nagasaki, Mrs. Yingzi uses a Chinese saying to describe it as: Women are as good as men!"

"…………!” Mrs. Yingzi let out a shaking laugh: "Ai Jun is young, but he is the most famous figure in the Takashimaya area. I didn't expect that even speaking is so interesting!"

After joking with the boss lady, the latter saw that they had something to say, and stepped back after the salute: "Since my animation studio was established, I have been dining here. Although I would be a little bored to eat fish, I can chat with the boss and the boss lady, so I can relax my mood."

"It can be seen that Mrs. Yingzi likes Ai Jun very much."

"Um..." Ai Fei curled his smile: "About the story I just told..."

"Hi!"

"It's a little joke that happened in Japanese cities, but it can be enlarged. The protagonist is a strange cat..."

"Cat?"

"Yes. Please listen to me."

"I'm sorry, I'm rude."

"This cat has a lot of weird things. According to my understanding, this cat should be a race from outer space and lives in a Japanese home. The hero is a little boy named Nobita Nobita, and this cat - by the way, the name of this cat is Doraemon."

“Eh?”

Ai Fei laughed: "Is this name very strange? The story is like this..." He picked up some funny plots of Doraemon that he had seen before and told Sakai. When the latter heard the interesting parts, he even laughed out loud regardless of the public!

"Arbitrary doors and space-time shuttles are Doraemon's most common strange tools. As for others, there are many, many, and it depends on you to think and think about it yourself."

"I understand!" After hearing him say that, Sakai Shima was completely interested in having dinner with him, and just wanted to go home and start creating a new work.

From the whale fish, Ai Fei's steps were a little floating - he drank a lot in the restaurant, so he drank a whole bottle of sake by himself: "Saki Kun, are you in a hurry to go back? Are we going to drink some in front?"

Sakai Nanma smiled bitterly: "Ai Jun, you really have a different alcohol content than this age! Why, is it not enough to only sake and beer?"

Ai Fei looked at him with a smile: "Why, can Sakai Jun no longer drink it?"

"I... I just want to go home and quickly conceive the content of the comic according to the storyline you gave me! Time is not waiting for anyone!"

"So? Well..." Ai Fei was a little disappointed: "Let's go back."

After waking up, Ai Fei felt a big headache: I am still a young man!

"Do you feel better?" A man's voice came from beside him.

"Ah?" Ai Fei sat up from the sofa. It turned out that Sakai Shima was sitting behind his desk, smiling and greeting him: "I... wasn't polite last night? By the way, haven't you gone home?"

"You are drunk a little bit hard and want to ask you about the details of your work nearby, so you didn't go back."

Ai Fei stood up from the sofa with a wry smile: "It's so rude! Maybe I have to consider reducing the number of times I drink? Every time I drink, I can't control my greed. Haha, it's really ridiculous!"

Sakai Nanma did not answer his topic and picked up a stack of paper from the table: "This is the manuscript I drew one night. Please review it?"

"Uh..." Ai Fei rubbed his eyes and took his manuscript paper. Each piece of paper was four pictures. According to his story outline, Sakai Nanma had already drawn the characters of Doraemon, Nobita, Shizuka, Kofu, and Dahu. Although the story was only the initial structure, it can be seen that Sakai Nanma was indeed as he said and had not mastered his own skills: Nobita, Shizuka and others had completely absorbed his own drawing skills. In his opinion, these people looked almost exactly the same as Shin-chan and Mia! The most overwhelming thing was the shape of the dormant cat. From the picture book, it was simply the image of a stray cat that could be seen everywhere on the roadside. The overall feeling was that it was too realistic, with almost no exaggeration.

"Saki Kan, is this the look you are going to use as the protagonist?"

“Yes, is there any problem?”

"Don't you know that under your brush, you must not have a basic comic theory of characters and backgrounds that are exactly the same as those under other people's brushes?"

"Eh?" Sakai Shima's face turned red suddenly: "I...I..."

"And, Sakai Kun, you may not understand my story, a cat race from outer space, how did you design it as the image of a stray cat that can be seen everywhere in the city?"

“Eh?”

Ai Fei sighed helplessly, picked up the brush from the desk, pulled out a piece of white paper, and quickly drew the pictures of Doraemon and several main characters on it: "This is for you. The main characters' shapes, you can arrange your story according to these shapes."

Sakai Nanma blushed with shame, took the drawing paper from his hand, and his eyes immediately lit up: "I understand! Thank you for your advice!"

Ai Fei's old face turned red and hesitated for a few words: "Saki Kun, what do you think about the work we talked about yesterday?"

"Uh...I think, it's better to follow the first state Ai Jun said."

"Very good, I think you will choose the first situation. This way, you go back and study and draw the album you need. After three days, you will be able to go to work. I will prepare your desk and other equipment you need in the next few days."

"Then, please!"

Time flies, and a month passes by. On August 15, Kojima Ryo from Yuwu Company and Ekami Akiman from Osaka met again in the office of the animation studio: "I was so disturbed last time, so I was rude!"

"Don't be polite, let me introduce it. This is Sakai Nanma Jun, the only editorial staff in the animation studio so far. Sakai Jun, these are what I have told you, Kojima Ryoko of Yuwu Company and Esaka Jun of Gongde Publishing House."

After several people bowed separately, Jiang Shang first said on behalf of the company, "Ai Jun, I brought your work back to Osaka and handed it to the editor-in-chief of the publishing house to read. Just as I told you, he also thinks there is a lot of room for development, so we want to discuss further cooperation with you."

"Very good, I also hope to hear the conditions you offered."

"Hi Yi! The conditions are like this. In the first three months, the Gongde Publishing Society, as Ai Jun said, purchased the copyright of the first three periods of the works "Crayon Shin-chief" to be printed and distributed in Kanto area at a one-time payment of 3.6 million yen, and the first period of the comic will be printed and distributed in Kanto. If the sales results are indeed as good as expected, our company will further negotiate with Ai Jun after March and use the share distribution to listen to your opinions."

"…………” The room was quiet, and only the puff sound made by the coffee maker when the water boiled.

Jiang Shang peeked for a moment, and saw Ai Fei's face as usual, his eyes closed slightly, as if he was calculating something: "Ai Jun, 3.6 million yen is already the maximum limit that Gongde Publishing House can put forward. If you have any other non-economic requirements... I am willing to feedback your request back to the company."

Ai Fei is indeed calculating, and this is a relatively complicated calculation process: First of all, the retail price of "Crayon Shin-chief" cannot be changed, and the cost in Osaka should be similar to that in Tokyo. However, if you have your own distribution network on Gongde, you can exempt the fee of 15 yuan for the agency point, that is, the fee of 12 yen for each book paid to him. That is to say, the profit of each book is 37 yuan, 150,000 yuan, and the total profit is about 5 million yuan. Damn it, it is really the work of a big company! I have to work hard for a month and I have to send it to the agency point everywhere, so I can only make such a little profit? In this way, I really need to consider one-stop production and sales! Only in this way can I not share the income I deserve!

He was thinking about it here, but forgot that there were guests at the scene: "Ai Feijun? Ai Feijun?" Sakai Shima looked around and called in a low voice beside him.

"Ah, yes. Very good. I agree with your conditions. The copyright of the third issue of "Crayon Shin-chief" will be based on your quotation."

"Did Ai Feijun agree? That's great!" Jiang Shangyou stood up happily and took out the documents from his briefcase: "Ai Feijun, this is a contract drafted by our company. If you think you can, you can sign it."

After seeing off the guests from Osaka, Ai Fei stretched: "Saki Kwan, did you see it? This is the biggest trouble in my work! There are always too many unexpected guests coming!"

Sakai Nanma and Kojima made each other smile: "That is also when your works can be sold well. How many 18-year-old young people do you think are worth Ekami's journey from Osaka to Tokyo again and again?"

Ai Fei laughed and accepted the other party's little flattery: "Then, Kojima, the printing of the new issue of "Crayon Shin-chief" and "jump"...?"

"Hi Yi! I came to Ai Jun to ask for your and Sakai Jun's opinions because of this. Last time I saw the sketch of "Dragon Cat" by Sakai Jun, but there was no formal manuscript for a long time. Mr. Yokota wanted to know if this new work can be officially published? Or should I wait a little longer before talking about it?"

"Well, this matter? Hello, Sakai Jun, what do you think? Is it serialized and published in "jump" or in a separate single book published?"

Sakai Nanma was hesitating, and he was still a little worried about his work. Suddenly, thinking of what Ai Fei said to him about self-confidence, the young man suddenly felt a sense of passion: "If possible, I hope that my work can be released at the same time as Ai Jun's work in "Jump"!"

"good!" Ai Fei praised in English: "Koshima, is that OK?"

"Hi Yi! The Odai party is prepared according to Sakai's requirements."

"So, what about the "jump" of "Crayon Shin-chief"? The Yuwu side is ready, right?"

"In fact, these two works by Ai Jun have already started to prepare for the second issue after they were launched. Well, after "Crayon Shin-hsin" was distributed from 50,000 copies in the third issue, the printing volume of the fourth issue has reached 100,000 copies. Because the newly published "Jump" is the first release, the number has been controlled to 45,000 copies. According to Ai Jun's requirements, the "National Unified Sales Price 240 Rounds" mark has been added to the cover."

"Ai Jun, I never understand why you printed such text on pricing in a new magazine?"

"At the beginning, this was just a means of publicity, in order to attract readers' attention to the greater extent. When the work has a certain reader, such a technique will become a symbol of Ai Fei. Readers will think of Ai Fei's works when they see such words. Even if someone imitates such words, it is useless." He suddenly smiled lustfully: "No matter men and women, they will still remember their first time!"

"Hahahaha!" Kojima and Sakai Nanma laughed at the same time.

There are two things: the first is that some readers' reactions seem to be updated too slowly? I noticed it myself, and it is indeed a bit slow. So, in the next few days, two will be changed to three updates every day.
