Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 128 Corporate Atmosphere
The next day, Hideki Hanyu got up in the morning and drove to Shogakukan, where he met his assistant Reiko Uemura. When he found Eri Kitahara in the sales department, he found Gennori Kumagai from "Weekly Shonen Sunday" was also there.

As soon as they met, Kumagai Xuandian handed over a stack of manga manuscripts.

"Look, Hanyu-san, this is the first four episodes of Saint Seiya sent by Kurata-san."

Hanyu Hideki heard the result drawing that he was very interested in, and couldn't wait to read it. He wanted to see what the "Saint Seiya" that had been revised by him and released ahead of schedule would look like after it was completed.

In order to avoid being dragged too far by TV animation as in the previous life, the progress of manga was too slow, this time Constellation Culture funded and built a manga studio for Chetian.

The manga studio hired six manga assistants alone to assist Kurada in his creation.

Therefore, after Hanyu Hideki quickly finished all the drawings, he found that the version was obviously more refined and mature than the previous version, and the manga script he provided was very well completed.

"I feel good. When will Kumagai-san start serializing?"

"It starts next week, directly on Weekly Shonen Sunday."

Shogakukan treats the manga serialization of general new writers, and basically arranges to test the water in the monthly magazine first, and then publishes it last week when the response is good.

Now Kumagai Gennori chooses to go directly to the magazine, obviously he is very optimistic about "Saint Seiya".

"I have no problem here, it is completely arranged by Kumagai-san."

While speaking, Hanyu Hideki did not forget to remind, "If there are no major problems in the future drawings, Kumagai-san can handle it by himself, and you don't need to show me."

"Okay, I'll send someone to send a copy to Hanyu-san's house when the issue of Lian Zai comes out."

"Then thank you Kumagai-san, I just bought it to save money."

Kumagai Gennori and Hanyu Hideki finished chatting about the serialization of "Saint Seiya", and then took the initiative to leave.

Hideki Hanyu then asked Eri Kitahara, "Isn't Kitahara-san calling me here because of Kumagai-san?"

"Of course not. Hanyu-san submitted thirteen picture books to me last year, and all of them have been released now. Wouldn't Hanyu-san tell me that you haven't prepared any new works?"

"Of course not. I thought all thirteen volumes would be released at the beginning of the year, but I didn't expect it to be sold until March."

"At that time, I'll pick it up from Master's House myself, and Maeda-san asked me to ask if Hanyu-san has any ideas for writing the third volume of Miracle Snack Shop."

Hideki Hanyu asked with a smile, "Is it because the sales of children's literature and art have declined again?"

Hideki Hanyu did not expect that the sales of "Children's Literature and Art" have been strong for a long time this time.

At the beginning of the year, the second volume of Miracle Snack Shop was serialized, and Maeda Soyoshi didn't come to him until almost April.

"Yeah, after Hanyu-san's Fantastic 30 serialization ended, the editorial department discovered several new writers. The serialization effect was good at the beginning, but unfortunately the quality of the works was too unstable. Recently, it has fallen back to less than copies."

"Let Maeda-san wait, there are a lot of things going on at Yun Shang Pictures recently, and there are newcomers to debut in the office, I really don't have time."

In fact, this period of time has been intermittent, and he has already written out several stories in the third volume of "Magic Snack Shop".

But it's impossible for him to give it immediately when the editorial department asks for it.

In that case, it is estimated that Maeda Zongyi should live in his house to press the manuscript in the future.

Besides, the sales volume of "Children's Literature and Art" hasn't fallen below 30. We won't know its importance until it gets worse.

The production of the TV animation "Magic Snack Shop" on Fuji TV is in full swing, and it is expected to be broadcast online in June.

Once the ratings are good at that time, the theatrical version used to make money should be put on the agenda. In order to get more right to speak, he can't cooperate too much with the editorial department.

"Okay, I will inform Maeda-san. There is one more thing. In order to commemorate the writers of Shinmi Nankichi, the Children's Literature Association will set up the Shinmi Nankichi Children's Literature Award. We hope that Hanyu-san can participate in the award establishment ceremony as a representative of Shogakukan writers. .”

"Since it is to commemorate Mr. Xinmei Nanji, then I will definitely go."

Xinmei Nanji, a famous children's literature writer who died young, was born in the neon children's literature enlightenment magazine "Red Bird".

Of course, this kind of senior should be respected. Besides, the Shogakukan made him the writer's representative and praised his status so high. He still wanted to give President Aigara face.

"May I ask Kitahara-san for anything else?"

"Not for the time being. Didn't Hanyu-san say he was very busy? Why do you still want me to arrange more interviews?"

"It doesn't matter. Although I am very busy, there is still time to invite Kitahara-san to dinner."

"Really, can I eat the two kaiseki meals that I owe?"

"Kitahara-san makes an appointment with Kikunoi now, and we can eat there in a week."

"Forget it, I don't want to eat such a troublesome thing. I recently discovered a Spanish seafood restaurant. Their paella is good, and the Iberian ham is also very authentic."

"Kitahara-san is worthy of being a gourmet hunter. It's already noon, what are we waiting for, let's go eat."

"Okay, just after dinner, I'll go back to Master's House with you." Kitahara Eri started to pack her things.

"Hey! Kitahara-san, please tell me the whole story. You and I went to Wanshiwu to get the manuscript of the picture book. If Kitahara-san said that, others would think we were doing strange things."

Hideki Hanyu emphasized emphatically.

In the recent neon literature circle, Hideki Hanyu had just eaten a big melon. A well-known senior writer and female screenwriter were reading manuscripts in a hotel, and were exposed by the media to have an affair.

If this matter is placed on artists, idols or other public figures, it will inevitably be criticized by the media and the public.

But the senior writer just said lightly that the creative pressure was too great, and the female screenwriter was helping him to vent the pressure, so he exposed the matter.

Afterwards, instead, the female editor who had an affair with the senior writer was fired from the publishing house.

Even the writer's wife stood up and apologized publicly, saying that she did not fulfill her duties as a wife and failed to relieve the pressure from the writer's husband in a timely manner, which led to this incident.

When seeing these news, Hideki Hanyu felt that his three views were shattered, and at the same time, he did not know how many times he felt the "tolerance" of the Neon people towards writers.

But even so, Hanyu Hideki did not want to emulate this senior.

He has had enough scandals recently, and he really doesn't want to make any other gossip.

"Why is Hanyu-san so nervous? Two big stars are jealous because of Hanyu-san. Who would believe that Hanyu-san has something to do with a small employee like me?"

"San Kitahara will believe the stories written by Wenchun, but I don't know what kind of person I am. Also, you don't need to notify me of any activities that Wenyichunqiu will do. I decided to unilaterally block Wenyichunqiu Publishing House!"

Thinking of "Weekly Bunshun" making up a short story for him, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help being upset with the entire Bungeishunju Publishing House.

"Bungeishunqiu Publishing House is banned, Hanyu-san doesn't want the Naoki Award anymore? Love coming home is a big hit this year."

"Naoki Award... Forget it, wait until you win the award and then block them!"

"Let's hurry up and go to dinner. After eating, we have to go to Wanshiwu with Hanyu-san."

"I'm going to Wanshiwu to get the manuscript of the picture book, please tell me the whole story, Kitahara-san."

"Assistant Uemura is with us, it's impossible for someone to misunderstand."

"Hey! Kitahara-san, don't just say half of it again, you are picking up the picture book manuscript with us, if you say it like that, the misunderstanding may be even bigger!"

"Okay, Hanyu-san is a famous person, so I'll get used to it slowly."

"What are you used to? Kitahara-san, don't tell me it's like I've done something!"

"I declare that Hanyu-sensei never did it."

"Didn't you do anything? Why is it getting weirder the more you talk, Kitahara-san should stop talking."

"It's not strange, it's because Hanyu-san was too nervous, we..."

On the way to the Spanish Seafood Restaurant, the two guys who had been partners for a long time bickered for the first time, and the little assistant Uemura Reiko next to her couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling.

……

Unknowingly, time has entered April, and the season of neon cherry blossom viewing has begun.

But for all the employees working in the Yunying Picture Building, there is no time to enjoy the cherry blossoms at all, and busyness is the only theme.

At the office, after Akina Nakamori finished recording the movie's theme song "Future へ", she is about to start the tour promotion before her debut.

The entire firm is mobilizing relationships, contacting local TV stations that have previously cooperated in advertising, and cooperating with the publicity plan formulated by Warner Pioneer.

Compared with Yunshang Arts Office, the parent company Yunshang Pictures is busier.

After the successful completion of the first film of Yun Shang Pictures, it officially entered the intense post-production.

Although Akina Nakamori's debut work is busy, the main force is actually Warner Pioneer, and Yunshang Performing Arts is just beating the drums.

But Yunying Pictures is different. The producer is Yunying Pictures, and Shochiku Pictures is just cooperating.

In order to complete the post-production as soon as possible, the supervisor Nobusuke Ito personally sat in the editing room, except for going to the bathroom, eating, drinking and sleeping were all settled in there.

As for the other staff members of Yunying Pictures, in addition to post-production, they also have to follow Shochiku Pictures to carry out pre-screening promotional work.

In the past, they were mainly engaged in the advertising business. The young employees of Yunshang Pictures took this opportunity to eagerly learn various film experiences from their counterparts at Shochiku Films.
Whether it is promotional experience or post-production experience, we will not let it go.

The continuous success of Yunying Pictures business, Hirohashi Asako's extraordinary management methods, and Hanyu Hideki's unsparing salary and bonuses all make the employees, mainly young people, willing to work hard.

The most important thing is that as a fledgling company, Yunying Pictures has a relatively large talent gap, so as long as you work hard, you will have opportunities for promotion, which stimulates these young people even more.

From top to bottom, the vigorous and hard-working spirit of Yunying Pictures made the producer of "Love, Go Home" Kiyoshi Shimadzu very envious.

Kiyoshi Shimadzu is a person who likes to do things down-to-earth, but although the Shochiku Films he belongs to is a far stronger club than Yunying Films, it has been established for a long time after all.

The staff structure of Songzhu Films has been stabilized, and the employees lack the motivation to strive upwards.

Working with young people like Yunying Pictures, Kiyoshi Shimadzu felt a passion that he hadn't felt for a long time, which he couldn't experience when he was cooperating with his colleagues at Shochiku Films.

And Kiyoshi Shimadzu felt the same way, and Taiyuki Nagato, who was introduced by Shota Yoshioka, made an appointment to visit Hideki Hanyu.

Taiko Nagato made an appointment in the afternoon, but he avoided being late and being impolite, and arrived early during the noon break.

When Taiko Nagato came to the Yunying Painting Building, he found that the Yunying Painting employees who were supposed to take a break at noon were busier than they were at work.

Seeing these people seem to be full of boundless energy, even taking breaks to study and work, undoubtedly gave Nagato a great shock.

It’s no wonder that Yun Shang Pictures has been able to gain a firm foothold in the industry in just one year, and has quickly expanded its business from advertising to movies, and is even learning animation production.

Before coming here, he carefully investigated everything about Yun Shanghua.

It is undeniable that the success of Yun Shang Pictures is because the four partners are good enough.

The talented and talented producer Hideki Hanyu, the budding and excellent manager Asako Hirohashi, Nobusuke Ito who took charge of the supervision of Yunying's picture project, and his old friend Shota Yoshioka who is a good communicator.

However, after seeing these hard-working employees, Nagato Taiyuki felt that Yun Shang Pictures would only be more successful in the future, because in addition to the excellent founders, they also have such a high-spirited corporate atmosphere.

Nagato Taiyuki thought so, seeing that the agreed time was still early, he walked out of the reception room and looked around curiously.

Before he knew it, he walked to an office seat near the door, where an employee was sitting with his head down, busy with something, and he didn't notice Nagato Taiko's arrival.

This is a handsome young male employee with glasses, who should have just graduated from college by his age.

Nagato Taiko found that the other party was seriously playing with a strange thing.

A Nintendo GAME & WATCH game console that has been completely disassembled, with all the circuit boards exposed. Nagato Taiyuki also owns one, and I happen to know it.

But this young employee did not simply disassemble the game console, but remodeled it after dismantling it, connecting the Game&Watch to another circuit board with a line.

The young man did not know how to operate a few times, and a feather-shaped pattern appeared on the screen of the Game&Watch, fluttering and changing directions constantly.

This kind of operation makes Nagato Daxing, who does not understand electronic technology, feel very interesting.

And just when Nagato Taiko was fascinated by watching, suddenly a clear voice came from beside him.

"Is this the game console that the crew used for filming before? Didn't Ito-san say it was broken?"

Nagato Taiko was startled by the sudden sound, turned his neck and found a person standing beside him at some point.

Taking a closer look, the person standing beside him was none other than Hideki Hanyu whom he was going to visit today.

"Hanyu-san, I am Taiyuki Nagato, and I am very sorry to disturb the work of your staff."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he couldn't help but look carefully at the man who spoke.

He looks in his 30s, is of medium height, and looks very energetic, with shrewd eyes.

Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be Nagato Taiko.

"It's okay, it's time for a break, Nagato-san, it's great to see you."

Hideki Hanyu had just returned from having lunch outside, when he entered the door, he saw Taiyuki Nagato standing by the office at the door, concentrating on something, and came over curiously to take a look.

It turned out that his employees were playing with a Game&Watch game console, and the key point was that he still knew this game console.

Because he bought this game console himself. It is a joint model of Nintendo Game&Watch and Mickey Mouse. He bought it back then to make props for Zhengnan in the movie.

However, before the filming of the movie started, he played a few times in boredom and accidentally broke a corner of the game console, but it did not affect the use of it.

Ito Shinsuke felt that such a game console was more realistic, so he didn't ask to buy a new one.

It's a pity that the game console didn't last until the end of the filming, and it broke down during the filming process.

It was because of the broken corner that he recognized that the disassembled game console in the hands of the young employee was the one he had bought before.

Because I only wanted the game console, I didn't look at Nagato Taiyuki carefully. I thought it was an employee of Yunying Pictures.

And just as he was greeting Nagato Taiko, the young employee also put down the things in his hands and got up to answer Hanyu Hideki.

"President Hanyu, this is the broken prop game console. Since I happen to know a little bit of electronic technology, I want to try to see if I can fix it."

"You majored in electronics?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

"No, I graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts majoring in fine arts, and I learned electronic technology by myself because of my interest." The young employee answered honestly.

"I didn't see you when I went to Dachuan Photography Office before? Which department are you in?"

"I just joined the club last month, and now I am an employee of the post-production department."

Hideki Hanyu pointed to the disassembled game console, "Have you repaired this thing? It seems that there is a picture."

"It hasn't been repaired. The picture is because of a little modification. I heard Director Ito said that I want to make a feather fluttering title. I just want to see if I can use this broken game console screen to show it. I try to program it myself. Look, it didn't work out very well."

"You know how to program?" Hideki Hanyu asked in surprise.

"Taught me a little bit."

The young man was obviously humbled.

In Hideki Hanyu's view, those who can do these things in this era are all masters.

What's more, this guy is still on a broken machine, using such crude means to create the screen, although he doesn't know anything about programming, he also has a feeling of ignorance.

From the beginning to the end, this young employee spoke clearly, and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and he was not nervous because he was facing his big boss.

This made Hideki Hanyu couldn't help asking the other party, "What's your name?"

"My name is Tetsuya Aragaki."
