Gotta Go the Healing Route

"At the same time, there is also Yu-kun Kazama's parents, Madam, you and your husband will talk about the future development of Yu-kun Kazama." Kitaoka Akira continued politely.

Hearing what Kitaoka Akira said, Kazama Riko paused, then slowed down, and said with some hesitation:

"Actually, my husband and I are not the parents of Xi-kun Kazama. We are the aunt and uncle of Xi-kun Kazama."

"Xi-kun Kazama's mother passed away when he was very young. As for his father, he couldn't bring Xi-kun Kazama with him for some reason. So Xi-kun Kazama came to our house when he was very young."

Hearing Kazama Riko's narration, Kitaoka Akira was stunned and didn't expect this to happen, and quickly apologized: "Sorry, I made a slip of the tongue."

"It doesn't matter. For so many years, my husband and I have already regarded Xi-kun Kazama as our own son. Of course, we are also the legal guardians of Xi-kun Kazama."

After this episode happened, the three of them tacitly staggered the topic.Kitaoka Akira praised Kazama Yurai without hesitation in front of Kazama Riko.

"Although Kazama Xi-kun is young, his painting style and brushwork are very mature and perfect. Looking at the famous cartoonists, Kazama Xi-kun's drawing skills are also very top-notch."

"Perhaps you have praised it, but my Xijun's daily hobby is indeed painting."

In this way, the three entered the house together.

"Xiao Qian, come here." Standing outside the living room, knowing that Kitaoka Akira and Uma Ryuichi were looking for Kazama Xi and Kazama Jiufa to talk about business, Kazama Riko naturally wanted to make room for the two of them, so she went Call away Akane Kazama, who is still on the sofa watching the seiyuu show with relish, without hindering them.

A guest came to visit, because Akane Kazama was fascinated by the TV show, so she didn't pay attention when Akunari Kitaoka knocked on the door earlier.

Now being asked by her mother to leave the TV, Akane Kazama directly expressed her resignation: "I don't want it, Kuimiya-chan just came out?"

"Is it Miss Kugimiya Mie?"

Akira Kitaoka, who stepped into the living room, naturally also saw the voice actor TV program that was playing on the TV.

The one who left the factory was a petite young woman, a voice actor idol of the new generation who is now in the limelight.

"This is your love..."

"I'm sorry, it's the little girl." Riko Kazama smiled awkwardly.

"It seems that young lady likes Ms. Kugimiya Mie very much. In a few days, we will invite Ms. Kugimiya to a project meeting. Then I can ask Kazama Xi-kun to get the autograph for you..."

Akane Kazama was taken aback by what Kitaoka Akira said, and then she saw the guests who came to the house.

Akane Kazama is usually a well-educated and reasonable image. Just now when a guest sees her self-willedness, her little face suddenly turns red.

"you are...."

The other party mentioned the signature of the idol Kugimiya Mie, which made her pay attention immediately.But Riko Kazama on the side has already held Akane Kazama's hand.

"Mr. Kitaoka and Mr. Daxiong are here to discuss business with Xiao Xi and your father, so don't get in the way here."

Kazama Riko pulled Kazama Akane into the Japanese room next to the living room.

"On business?"

"Who is that guest?" Akane Kazama asked blankly.

"The editor-in-chief of Shueisha." Riko Kazama replied.

Hearing this answer, Akane Kazama was stunned: "No way, that guy's manga really won an award?"

Chapter 39 Eight, [-] Contracts and remuneration

"That guy actually won an award."

The words Kazama Akane blurted out were heard by Kazama Riko.She looked at her daughter with burning eyes, and slightly strengthened her tone:

"It seems that you also know that Xiao Xi has participated in this competition. You have raised your daughter for nothing. Why didn't you tell me about this kind of thing?"

Akane Kazama immediately drooped her head:

"It was Kazama Xi who asked me to keep it a secret. He said that if he didn't win, it would be embarrassing to tell you in advance."

.....

"please sit down."

in the living room.

After Riko Kazama and Akane Kazama left the living room, Kitaoka Akira and Uma Ryuichi handed business cards to Kazama Jiufa and Kazama Yuu as they were at the door of Kazama's house, and then introduced themselves.

After returning the gift, pinching the business card in his hand, Kazama looked at Akira Kitaoka and Ryuichi Okuma with a complicated expression after a long absence.

In the afternoon, when Kazama Xi told him about this matter, to be honest, Kazama was dubious about the long absence.So he didn't talk to Riko Kazama for a while, but he didn't expect that Shueisha would really come to his door in the evening.

Moreover, it was the editor-in-chief of "Weekly Shonen Junmp".

Thanks to the huge manga market in Kana, there are many manga magazines.There are comprehensive ones, and there are also manga publications that are divided into hot blood, suspense, youth love, and boys and girls.

But among these manga magazines, "Weekly Shonen Junmp" is really the only one.As a comprehensive youth comic publication, it is famous far and wide.

It has been published for more than ten years, and countless classics have been born in it.For example, the three migrant workers' comics that are firmly in the top spot in the international comics industry are all serialized in Weekly Shonen.Even when Kazama was young, he was a reader of Weekly Shonen.

As the editor-in-chief of this top magazine, Kitaoka Akira's status in the industry goes without saying,

Now I come to visit in person... Kazama glanced at Kazama Xi who was sitting obediently after a long absence.

It seems that my nephew is really valued by Shueisha.

"Xiao Xi, what kind of manga did you draw for the competition..." Kazama couldn't help thinking in his heart after a long time.

Age is indeed an aspect of talent, but what is really valued has to be excellent talent.

While chatting with Kazama after a long absence, Kitaoka Akira also sneaked his eyes on the protagonist of this visit, the author of "After the Death" and the 15-year-old genius manga artist "Amabetsu".

Abnormally excellent appearance conditions - delicate face, long hair, tied into a ponytail.In the stage of junior high school that has not yet experienced the baptism of social reality, the stage of justice is the value of appearance, this young man is probably also a figure sought after by the opposite sex at school.

Of course, Kitaoka Akira is not a superficial person who looks at the face. It is the temperament of the boy that makes him really have an unusual impression on the boy.

Calm and confident temperament.

Kazama Yuki's first impression left a deep impression on Kitaoka Akira.

Geniuses are indeed special.

Akira Kitaoka couldn't help but compare Wushan Yun who visited yesterday with Kazama Xi.

The Kazama Jun in front of him is very different from the girl named Wu Shanyun, both in the style of his works and in his personality.

Observing Kazama Xi secretly, Kitaoka Akira continued to chat with Kazama after a long absence.

During the period, after brewing a pot of tea and paired with two porcelain cups, Riko Kazama, from the kitchen to the living room, not only placed it on the glass coffee table, but also filled most of the cups in front of them. .Without staying, she returned to the Japanese room beside her.

Picking up the cup with both hands and taking two sips of tea, Kitaoka Akira smiled and praised the hostess's tea art.

Then he put the cup back to its original place without haste, and looked at Kazama Xi.

"Xi Jun, do you have any deep meaning in the pseudonym 'Rain Bie Chao'?"

Regarding Akira Kitaoka's question to him, Xi Kazama nodded slightly, and answered:

"It means nothing, it's just a simple rhyme."

"Taken from the Tianchao's "Li Weng Duiyun"."

"Disassemble the three characters of my name and replace them with Chinese characters."

"Wind versus rain."

"Intermediately communicates with 'see', so it corresponds to 'don'."

"Then, 'Sunset' versus 'Asahi'."

The latter paragraph explained that Xi Kazama subconsciously used Chinese, and then translated it again in Kannai.

But whether it is Kitaoka Akira or Kazama Kube, as intellectuals who have received higher education, they can understand the Chinese spoken by Kazama Xi.

"Xi Jun, your Chinese dialect is actually so good."

Celestial language is a compulsory foreign language in Kana, and even English, the main language of the West, has to be put aside first.

Because it is a compulsory course, the popularity of Chinese language is very high in Kana.But what really surprised Akira Kitaoka was Xi Kazama's spoken words in a perfect accent.

After all, it is not a native language environment, and the unique language habits of the island country also give many foreign languages ​​​​a strange smell.But Feng Jianxi's Chinese language really has a bj accent.

Kazama looked at Kazama Xi in surprise after a long absence.He also asks about Kazama Xi's study status every now and then.In my impression, this nephew's grades have always been in the middle class, neither top nor bottom.There was even a decline in the third grade of junior high school, and it's not like he didn't mention it.

And Chinese language has always been Kazama Xi's weak subject.

Are you speaking so well now?And what he said was the advanced grammar of antiphonal rhyme in Tianchao language.

"It turned out to be like this..."

Kitaoka Akira nodded lightly, then looked at Kazama for a long time and spoke, this time it was not a small talk about other aspects, but straight to the point.

"Mr. Kazama, I believe Mr. Xi told you before. The short comic created by Mr. Xi stood out in our newcomer awards."

"His works have been appreciated by many famous manga artists, and we at Shueisha have also seen Xi-kun's talent from this work."

"So, we at Shueisha want to be able to cooperate with Xi-kun. Please ask Xi-kun to become Shueisha's contracted manga artist."

While talking about his purpose, Kitaoka Akira took out a signed contract from his briefcase.

"I don't need to explain too much about our Shueisha's status and strength in Shenna. Mr. Kazama and Yu-kun must be clear about it."

"I just don't know if Mr. Xi is willing, and if Mr. Kazama agrees to sign a contract with our agency."

"The contract period is not long, three months. After the expiration, whether we will renew the contract depends not only on the reaction of the market, but also on the personal wishes of Mr. Xi and Mr. Kazama."

Shueisha manga artists basically sign contracts for two months. After all, the feature of Weekly Shonen Jump is the cut in half system.And two months is the new serial protection period.

Signing a contract is not a guaranteed job.

Not to mention the lack of reputation, it's just that the talented Yuki Kazama took this contract.Even big names in the industry, as well as cartoonists who have produced masterpieces.

"As for the detailed remuneration..."

"We provide a remuneration of 15000 Shenna coins per page."

Converting 15000 Shennai coins into Chinese currency is about 900 yuan.

One episode of manga is 20 to 30 pages, that is to say, one episode has 18000 yuan in remuneration.

And if four chapters are serialized in the publication in a month, the monthly salary is already 120 Chinese currency, which is [-] million Shennai currency.

If this contract is really signed, Kazama Xi will become a high-income gold-collar class without compromise.

You know, at present, the starting salary of those college students who have just graduated from the school in Tokyo, Kanna country is at the standard of twenty thousand kana coins.

Even if calculated based on the per capita monthly income level of Tokyo, the most developed city in Kana, Kazama Xi is above the average line of 40 yen.
