Sixty-Four: Peers

“Su Jun, you are here.” While Su Jie was dumbfounded, someone suddenly patted Su Jie on the shoulder, and saw Zhenhui appearing behind Su Jie.

Today’s Marie is wearing a professional dress,Her legs are flesh-colored stockings, her black hair is coiled up, and she wears plain glasses, making her look extremely elegant.

“Miss Truth!” Su Jie was a little surprised, but considering Zhenhui’s status as an editor, it’s not surprising that he was invited to this party, so he responded, “I came here with my friends.”

Zhenhui saw Xiazhiqiu Shiyu next to Su Jie, and nodded thoughtfully: “I see, this is Xia Shizi who won the Dengeki Bunko Newcomer Award.”

“Hey… and this…” Su Jie stared at Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu in a daze, really not knowing about it.

“Some false names.” Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu didn’t want Su Jie to think that he was hiding something, so he quickly explained.

Only then did Su Jie know that “Love Metronome” written by Kasumigaoka Shiyu won the Dengeki Bunko Light Novel Newcomer Award. This award is divided into five categories: youth, horror, science fiction, reasoning, and fantasy. Each category is divided into gold, silver and bronze awards.

“Love Metronome” won the gold medal in the youth category. This is a very special honor. There is a bonus of 300,000 yen. You can also get the opportunity to participate in the Best Newcomer of the Year Award, which will receive 5 million yen. bonus.

These are only on the awards. For novelists, the benefits of receiving this award are not only that. Most of the comics adapted from novels and the most important animation, generally the award-winning works have the greatest chance of being adapted. It has been shown that the standard of the novel is not too bad. After all, the animation company does not want to adapt an unpopular work to lose money.

“Ahem, this is my editor, Miss Marie, the editor of “Weekly Shonen Jump.” Su Jie almost forgot to introduce Marie, Kasumigaoka Shiwa nodded with a smile.

“I met Kasumi Shiko at Dengeki Bunko’s awards ceremony before, and I hope to have opportunities to cooperate in the future.” The truthful and polite Kasumigaoka Shiwa nodded.

This is really a polite remark. “Weekly Shonen Jump” currently has a much higher status in Japan than Dengeki Bunko, and it has always only developed original manga. Manga adapted from novels, anime games will not appear in “Weekly Shonen Jump”.

“Hello, I’m Sonoko Machida, the editor of Kasumi Shiko. Welcome to our Dengeki Bunko party tonight.”

Machida Sonoko, who had been watching from the sidelines, also said something, and at the same time gave Kasumigaoka Shiyu a white look. Since Su Jie said that Marie was his editor, and Marie was the editor of “Weekly Shonen Jump”, how could Su Jie be in “Weekly Shonen Jump”? “Jump” draws pornographic comics, even if there is, it cannot be the kind of thing that is purely carnal.

The two editors stood together, and they were both mature and sexy beauty editors. It was really eye-catching. Machida Sonoko, who was a member of the organizer, spoke first.

As women in the workplace, the meeting between the two of them may be more of a coping style. Behind Kasumigaoka Shiyu stands Machida Sonoko, and behind Su Jie stands Marie. Perhaps it is Su Jie’s own illusion, always feeling that the two seem to be similar They are fighting secretly, although they can’t be seen from the outside behavior at all, but that’s how it feels to people.

“Mr. Su Jun is our “Weekly Shonen Jump” newcomer cartoonist. Before Machida editor wanted to poach someone, please ask our “Weekly Shonen Jump” for his opinion.”

“Besides, we have nothing to do with Huang Man. Please don’t throw any dirty water on us “Weekly Shonen Jump” and its authors.”

Zhenhui spoke in a non-salty manner, turned her slightly cold eyes around Machida Sonoko, and put her hands on Su Jie’s shoulders, like a female leader of the team, repelling all threats, both open and hidden outer.

“Actually, it’s not like what Ms. Machida thought. Ms. Machida didn’t know my identity as a manga artist before.” Su Jie cried out secretly in his heart, and his feeling was really not wrong.

“This is a matter of attitude. As the editor of Mr. Su Jun, we editors are obliged to help you deal with things other than drawing comics, including the enforcement of legal weapons and job stability.”

Marie is gentle and kind to Su Jie, but she does not lose her momentum in front of Machida Sonoko. As the editor of “Weekly Shonen Jump”, although this is the organizer of Dengeki Bunko, although in terms of position, Machida, as the deputy editor Sonoko’s identity is greater than that of the editor-in-charge, but neither of them is a company. At present, “Weekly Shonen Jump” is in the heyday of Japan’s ACG industry, and it is the leader in the manga industry. The Kadokawa library is even better when compared.

Dengeki Bunko has debuted for three years and ranks in the middle of the novel world. Although the current development momentum is very strong, it is far behind “Weekly Shonen Jump” in terms of strength. Otherwise, “Weekly Shonen Jump” would not have sent a The editor in charge came to participate, which shows that “Weekly Shonen Jump”‘s attitude towards Dengeki Bunko is also the reason why Zhenhui is full of confidence.

Machida Sonoko may have noticed it before, and when Marie suddenly launched an attack, she was also cold-faced: “”Weekly Shonen Jump” is such a big name, are you a bundled contract? Freedom to come and go is the author’s freedom, I believe that no matter what industry you are in That’s all.”

Peers are lighter!

Su Jie and Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu looked at each other, and they both saw the meaning in each other’s eyes. Both of them are editors, and they are both women. This may be the so-called peer-to-peer comparison.

Seeing that these two people were going to fight each other, Su Jie gave Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu a wink, and both of them pulled their editors to quicklyLeave to avoid further conflict.

“Miss Truth, your reaction was too big. The other party just made a mistake just now.” In the corner of the party, Su Jie complained to Zhenhui.

“It’s not that I react too much. Dengeki Bunko has been digging a lot of newcomers in recent years. Their ability to develop so fast is closely related to scouting. I’m afraid you won’t be able to resist the temptation to leave Weekly Shonen Jump.” Marihui explained: “Are you Best newcomer of our Weekly Shonen Jump, I don’t want anything to interfere with your creation.”

“After all, we are on other people’s territory, so don’t cause trouble.” After Su Jie said this, he was silent for a while, and then said slowly: “Miss Zhenhui gave me a lot of help, and I will remember it all. In my heart, but please don’t interfere with my personal affairs too much, I don’t like being restricted by others.”

Although Su Jie is creating in “Weekly Shonen Jump”, he doesn’t want to follow other people’s wishes in everything he does. The status of the cartoonist and the comic magazine are more like collaborators. The cartoonist provides the creation, and the comic magazine is responsible for the platform. Rather than the general company’s superior-subordinate relationship.

Therefore, Su Jie hopes that he is free. Even if he really quits “Weekly Shonen Jump” to start a new job, he is still free, instead of depending on other people’s opinions when he wants to resign.

It is also because of the idleness of this job that Su Jie, who regards squatting at home as a profession, chooses to draw comics, and this job itself is suitable for squatting at home, and it is okay not to go out.

“Sorry, I went too far.” Zhenhui thumped in her heart, realizing that she had gone too far. When she met Su Jie’s eyes, she understood Su Jie’s attitude.

Su Jie is a cartoonist brought out by Zhenhui, and also the newcomer that Zhenhui thinks has the most potential to become a master. As an editor, it will be an unparalleled honor to be able to bring out a master cartoonist. If you care about it, you will be nervous, but if you care about it, you will be chaotic. That’s why you are aggressive about Machida Sonoko’s previous behavior of poaching people.

After Su Jie understood this, the dissatisfaction in his heart dissipated. Zhenzhenhui also helped Su Jie a lot, and he still had a good impression of Zhenhui Sujie. This matter was exposed like this.
