Gotta Go the Healing Route

Hearing Feng Jianxi's words, Wu Shanyun froze in place.

Wang Dao manga belongs to the slow-heating type, and the rhythm climax is concentrated in the middle and late stages of the story.It is incomparable with the pattern of continuous plot rhythm in the early and mid-term of evil manga.

After figuring this out, Wu Shanyun hibernates calmly, laying the groundwork for the existing plot seriously, only hoping that there will be a big explosion in the future.

Now "The Bond of the Lingzhu" has finally completed the first half, and the rhythm is gradually increasing.The number of fans is also constantly increasing.Seeing that there will be a burst of rhythm, there is a great chance to press Kazama Xi down.

So you told me you were going to finish?

"Why? Isn't the score of "Death Note" always good?"

After Wu Shanyun recovered, he couldn't help but said.

"Good grades don't conflict with the end...even the longest kingly manga has its end."

"The story is about to be told, so it's over, as simple as that."

Feng Jianxi's words made Wu Shanyun at a loss for words.

After calming down, Wu Shanyun also came to his senses. She has been chasing "Death Note".Indeed, judging from the existing plot, the two protagonists of the dead pen, Gong Feng, have now come to the cliff together, and there is no way out. Now it depends on who will die and who will live.

Perhaps it was because of the expectation of surpassing "Death Note", Wu Shanyun subconsciously ignored this point.

"But..." Wu Shanyun wanted to say something more, but he couldn't say anything.

Seemingly understanding Wu Shanyun's unwillingness, Feng Jianxi said softly.

"It doesn't matter, I will use the next work to compete with you on the same stage, and then you will be challenged..."

At some point, the lights in the banquet hall were turned on again.

The crowd that had originally gathered at the front desk dispersed in twos and threes, and turned into a communicative state again.

"What are you talking about, it seems that you are having a very happy chat..."

A voice sounded from a distance, and it was the editor-in-chief Akira Kitaoka who came over.

Judging by his appearance, his complexion is rosy. As the core figure and high-level executive of Shueisha, he can be regarded as half the master of this annual meeting.Toasting and interlacing is essential.

"Mr. Kitaoka..."

Kazama Xi was very impressed with this editor-in-chief who once visited at home, and she extended a polite greeting with Wu Shanyun.

"Miss Wu Shan, you are so dazzling tonight, if I bring you here like this, I will give you a big bear bonus."

Kitaoka Akira first praised Wu Shanyun sincerely, and then set his sights on Kazama Xi.

"And Kazama-san, it's really hard for you to come from Kyoto to attend the company's annual meeting. But you will graduate in March, and you will move to Tokyo. I am looking forward to it..."

"If the plan doesn't change, it should be like that."

Kazama Xi said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, apart from attending the annual meeting in Tokyo, I also have another purpose to chat with you. I wonder if you are free now?"

Kazama Xi's words made Kitaoka Akira slightly taken aback, as if thinking of something, Kitaoka Akira's expression even changed a bit.But he quickly returned to normal.

"Of course I'm free."

Kitaoka Akira looked at Wu Shanyun again.

"Miss Wu Shan, if you feel a little tired, you can go home now. Big Xiong Longyi is done with his work now, go find him, and he will take you home safely."

He also saw Wu Shanyun being surrounded by a group of producers just now.In addition to celebrating, this annual meeting also has the intention of people in the industry to get to know each other and exchange ideas.

But he also understood Wu Shanyun's character to some extent, and this kind of communication might be too tiring for her.

Such thoughtful words made Wu Shanyun, who had been tense from the beginning, heaved a sigh of relief.

After glancing at Feng Jianxi, Wu Shanyun nodded lightly, then turned and left to find his editor, Daxiong Longyi.

"It's a bit noisy here. There is a room for receiving guests next door. Let's talk over there."

After watching Wu Shanyun leave, Kitaoka Akira said to Kazama Xi.

Kazama Xi naturally nodded meaninglessly.

The two left the lively and noisy meeting place. Some people saw Kitaoka Akira and came forward to say hello, but they were all declined.

Walking along the long corridor, the two came to a secluded room.

"Honestly, Kazama-kun, I probably know what you are going to say."

"Because Ah Zi told me about it before."

Ah Zi...

What Kitaoka Akira said was the kind of nickname that only close people would say.

As if seeing the surprised expression on Kazama Xi's face, Kitaoka Akira smiled and said, "Didn't Ziwan tell you, I'm her real uncle."

Dear uncle... Is this the relationship between the two?

"No one in the editorial department knows about this, because I told her before that you must never talk about your relationship with me when you are in the agency."

What a strict person...

When signing the contract before, Yu Kazama mentioned that Aster Uemura should be her editor, but Akira Kitaoka's first reaction was still to refuse.

"Sister Ziwan didn't tell me about it, because she is a very reliable person, and she dare not disobey her uncle's orders."

"Reliable..."

Kitaoka Akira's expression became a little weird.

"As an uncle, I'm really relieved to hear this comment from you. Speaking of which, during the six months you've been working together, that guy didn't drink too much in front of you."

alcoholism....

Yu Kazama did know that Aster Uemura loves to drink, and that she can drink very well.A pint of beer is served as a beverage.

"That guy inherited her mother, and he is addicted to alcohol. It's scary when drunk. She came to Shueisha before because she wanted to be an editor, and her academic qualifications just met the criteria for admission. On the other hand, she was admitted. I want to supervise her under my nose."

"If that guy dares to drink alcohol in front of you, tell me immediately..." Kitaoka Akira's expression suddenly became serious.

Kazama Xi didn't dare to imagine Uemura Aster drinking and going crazy, but Uemura Aster did drink to the limit in front of him.

But a few times, after drinking a little wine at dinner, the slut who couldn't help but press her head in her arms and kneaded said that this is not considered...

After thinking about it, Aster Uemura has been under a lot of pressure recently because of her own affairs, and Xi Kazama is still not ready to add insult to injury.

"Cough cough..."

"Mr. Kitaoka, we are a bit off topic."

Kazama Xi coughed feignedly.

"Ms. Uemura is very responsible as my editor, and I am very satisfied with her. Speaking of which, I also shared my thoughts with you through Sister Ziwan before."

"But thinking about it, it's better to clarify this kind of thing in person, so as not to make sister Ziwan caught in the middle."

"That's right, I've finished telling the story of "Death Note", and it's time for this comic to end."

"If all goes well...I think I can take a hiatus next month."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The final hiatus of Death Note.

Hearing these words, Kitaoka Kounari and his colleagues in the industry were drinking more than half of the wine.

"Kazama-kun, you really gave me a problem..."

Kitaoka Akira shook his head with a wry smile.

"Do you know how many cartoonists on Jump are worried about being able to continue serialization, but you have decided to stop publishing now?"

"If the story is not finished, I am naturally eager to continue the serialization. After the story is finished, it will naturally end." Kazama Xi said calmly.

"It's easy for you to say..."

The entire Shueisha is very optimistic about Kazama Xi's high-quality and topic-making work.

The social attention and discussion that "Death Note" attracted last time, in hindsight, has had more positive effects than negative effects on Shueisha.

Needless to say, in terms of achievements, the influence of "Death Note" is already a proper pillar-level work with the evil manga as the top three national kingly manga.

The follow-up booklets and collections sold very well. It can be said that it is the most popular IP in the past ten years, except for the three major national comics.

Such a result has been achieved in just half a year, and the senior executives of Shueisha are almost laughing from ear to ear.It is foreseeable that if you work slowly, you will continue to obtain greater profits in the future.However, if this IP ends here, the profit will not meet expectations.

After all, Shueisha is a company that aims to make profits.

From Shueisha's point of view, the sudden end of this popular manga is absolutely undesirable.

But looking at the boy in front of him, Kitaoka Akira sighed again.

Kazama Xi's ability and achievements are here. As a cash cow that is visible to the naked eye in the future, Shueisha also values ​​him very much.

A tough stance is not advisable, is it true that a boy of this age is soft and not hard.Now he can only try his best to persuade the boy to change his mind.

Thinking of this, Kitaoka Akira slowed down his tone.

"My idea is that the popularity of "Death Note" and the expectations of readers, Kazama-san, you can't waste it, and you should work hard to continue drawing."

Kazama Xi innocently spread her hands, "But the problem is, I can't draw anymore."

"The plot is not something you can have if you want it. When I started drawing this manga, I thought about the ending. The beginning and the process are all for this ending. Isn't it difficult for you to force others?"

Kitaoka shook his head and said:

"Honestly speaking, since the serialization of "Death Note", your narrative style, Kazama-kun, is very rare."

"I can probably understand that you want to become famous quickly... Now that you have done it, you are already one of Shueisha's popular manga artists, so you can't mess around like this. I think you should slow down the pace of the plot , mixed with some water properly."

In all fairness, the plot of Kazama Xi's manga is really compact.

Even Akira Kitaoka, who has been an editor for more than 30 years, hardly sees any gaps in this work and plots that can be deleted to slow down the rhythm of the manga.

Not at all muddle-headed.

This is Kitaoka Akira's view on Kazama Yu's narrative style.

This is a compliment.

But this is not necessarily a good thing. To some extent, this is an approach of exhausting resources.
