Chapter 1068: Coffee and Sugar

The Lingnan team, which lost Yuzhu, no longer had the magic it had against Hainan.

Everyone in the Xiangbei team showed their strength. With 8 minutes and 24 seconds left, Xiangbei led by 7 points at 53:36.

During the short time when Yuzhu left the field, the balance of victory seemed to be tilting towards Xiangbei...

This plot is one of the few times in Xiangbei where it can lead by a large score when competing with a comparable opponent. Readers naturally like this plot.

After three weeks of silence, "" once again climbed to the top of "Youth Leap" with the words "Scream of Victory", stepping on the "Gate of Eternal Life" and "Young Exorcist" which are currently working hard. underfoot.

Tachibana believes that the ranking of "" is very real and normal. The reason is that the animation of "" is released.

One and a half months after the animation was released, the sales volume of "" booklet has increased to 1.4 million copies.

This sales volume is enough to satisfy Tachibana. As for the mixed comments on "" on the Internet, he certainly knows, but if """ hadn't been launched in such a timely manner, he would not have been named by the chairman at the editor-in-chief meeting of the company. praise.

Well, it has only been a year since I became the editor-in-chief of "Youth Leap", and I was praised by my superiors, which is a perfect start.

After the meeting ended, Tachibana congratulated each other with the people around, and walked out of the meeting room with a notepad.

The elevator was full of people, and some people didn't want to wait, so they went down the stairs directly.

The editorial department of "Shounen Leap" is only three floors away from the conference room. Seeing that the elevator waited for a long time, Tachibana prepared to take the stairs.

Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder.

Tachibana turned around, but saw Murakami Toru standing behind him.

"Team Leader Murakami." Tachibana nodded slightly.

"There are too many people waiting for the elevator... How about going to my office for a cup of coffee first?" Murakami said with a smile.

Tachibana didn't know what Toru Murakami wanted to do, but the higher-ups had only praised him by name, so it shouldn't be a bad thing for Toru Murakami to seek him out.

What's more, as Toru Murakami is his boss, Tachibana is really hard to refuse.

"Since you said so, I will trouble you." Li Huashen nodded slightly and said in a low voice.

Toru Murakami's office is on the same floor as the meeting room, but the location is a little remote and the place is not big. Fortunately, there are glass walls on two sides, so the outside scenery can be seen at a glance.

Serving the ground coffee, Murakami handed one of the cups to Tachibana. At the same time, he sat on the single sofa and looked at Tachibana next to him.

Li Huashen took a sip and frowned slightly: "Group leader Murakami, do you have sugar cubes here?"

"No. I like bitter coffee."

"Why? Taste?"

"Of course not. Who likes to drink bitter coffee?" Toru Murakami shook his head, "I drink bitter coffee because I want to remind myself not to be fooled by sugar cubes and milk. Bitter taste can make people alert."

The smile on Tachibana's face froze immediately, "Group Leader Murakami, if you have anything to say, just say it directly?"

"First of all, congratulations. The sales volume of "Young Leap" has exceeded 4.75 million copies. There are also achievements in the booklet. In addition to "The Gate of Eternal Life", "Youth Leap" has a second serial comic that can exceed one million volumes. "" .” Murakami laughed.

"Thank you, this is inseparable from everyone's efforts. On the contrary, I did the least." Tachibana stared at Toru Murakami, wondering what he was thinking.

"No, no, you are very useful. If you change someone else, you may not have this achievement. This is yours, and no one can take it away."

Tachibana had a smug look on his face. He had put in a lot of effort in order to increase the sales of "Shounen Leap".

"There is one thing I want to ask."

"Um?"

"What do you think of the animation of ""?"

"Very good. The animation drove the sales of "", right? Before the animation was released, its average volume was only 1 million copies. Now, its total sales have exceeded 26 million copies, which is a terrible sales volume.

"

"However, the animation of "" has also been criticized by readers. It is not obvious in the front, but the latest episode is really bad, and there are more than one places where it collapsed." Murakami took a sip of coffee, and his mouth was slightly bitter.

"Team Leader Murakami, let me tell you the truth? Animation production has never been an easy task. It's already very good that "" is stuck in the summer show, and only knight has the manpower and time to do it. I admit, knight In the summer show, a lightly modified animation was added, which really exceeded my expectations. However, the animation is to promote the comics. As long as the comics can be sold, it will be ok. In fact, the current results of "" are also good, which also proves that The quality of animation does not affect the sales of manga, right?" Tachibana said patiently.

"Then why didn't "" move to the autumn episode?"

"The autumn program has "Young Exorcist", and this animation is also very important to it."

"What if we change the location of the two comics and change the production company?" Murakami asked again.

"Let me put it this way, if I have the resources, I'm definitely more inclined to "The Exorcist". However, Team Leader Murakami, no matter what, we do not have its complete copyright, and the copyright of foreign booklets is not in our hands. Even if we invest a lot of resources in it, we can What we get is only the benefit of the 11th district. Compared with it, "The Exorcist" has more advantages, we have more copyrights, and we can also promote it abroad, which is the most important point." Lihua Shen was proud.

Toru Murakami didn't expect Tachibana to answer this way, and said, "I don't care about the first season, the second season of "" must be changed to another company, orochi, right?"

"Orochi?" Tachibana was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head again, "To be honest, it's unlikely."

Murakami frowned, feeling angry.

"Don't be angry, listen to me. Orochi is of course good, but I don't want to choose orochi, and there are reasons. Orochi's production costs are higher for a single episode, and we have to pay more. Moreover, orochi has not yet With the experience of producing a hundred episodes of animation, in the end, the funds may exceed the budget, and the number of times we have cooperated with Orochi is far from being as good as Knight. Considering many aspects, I always think that Orochi is not a good choice.”

Tachibana gave a strong explanation. Seeing Toru Murakami's face flushed, he guessed that he was not very satisfied with his decision, so he chuckled lightly: "If you insist on asking me to change to Orochi or other companies, it means that my decision has been rejected." Negative, it also shows that I don't want to be the editor-in-chief. Then, "Youth Leap" will be handed over to you."
