Chapter 119 The beginning of the tragedy

"I, I!" Hirohito Araki's mouth moved a few times. He naturally hoped that "Armed Poker" could continue to be serialized, but he was not a fool. If he really chose to continue serializing "Armed Poker", it would not only make Zhao Chen and other cartoonists look down on him, but he might even look down on him.

On the other hand, if "Armed Poker" is really allowed to continue to be serialized, Zhao Chen's prestige in the World Club will inevitably be hit, and it will also attract dissatisfaction from other cartoonists, especially another cartoonist whose work was cut in half.

"Please cut "Armed Poker" in half!"

In the end, the struggle on Araki Yoshiro's face disappeared, and he said this sentence almost word by word. After saying it, the pressure on his body seemed to disappear, and the expression on his face was much better than when he first came in.

"Very good, Mr. Araki, you made the right choice! Because even if my work enters the half-cut sequence, I will accept it! Only in this way can we continue to make progress. I hope Mr. Araki can understand it!"

"President, I understand this move, but it's my hard work after all, and it's hard to let go for a while! Please give me some time to create better comic works based on the complete completion of "Armed Poker". Then please ask the president to give me some advice!"

"Yes, I'm also looking forward to Mr. Araki's next work!"

After Araki Hirohiko left the office, Zhao Chen took out a brand new comic book from the drawer, which was "Armed Poker" by Araki Hirohiko. After reading for a while, Zhao Chen couldn't help but shake his head. Although Araki Hirohiko has formed his own style, he still needs more exercise.

"In a while, when Mr. Araki's strength improves, let him create "JoJo Wonderful Adventure"! I just don't know which one of his next works will be? I'm looking forward to it!"

Just as Zhao Chen was thinking, the phone in the office suddenly rang.

"Oh, I get it, let him in!"

Zhao Chen put down the phone, and the light flashed in his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Not long after, the office door was knocked again. Zhao Chen shouted and asked him to come in. A young man's figure came into his eyes, but it was Zhao Chen's comic assistant, Takao Hara!

Hara Takao had a little nervous look on his face, and both sides were placed in front of him, tightly holding a slightly thick official document bag.

Zhao Chen glanced at the briefcase in Hara Takafu's hand, and the expression appeared in his eyes, but he still said, "Teacher Hara Takafu, please sit down!"

"Yes, President, I'm afraid I'm going to disturb you this time!"

Yuan Tzefu sat opposite Zhao Chen with a little nervousness. He just sat down for a little while, and it looked very nervous.

At this time, Takao Hara was still serving as Zhao Chen's comic assistant, and naturally had a better understanding of Zhao Chen than other cartoonists. Perhaps in Takao Hara, Takao Hara is a typical cartoonist who oppresses assistants. He often only draws characters and pushes all the rest of his work to his assistants. But because of this relationship, Takao Hara was even more shocked by Zhao Chen's strength. He learned a lot in just a few months, especially in painting, and made great progress.

No one would be willing to become an assistant for the rest of his life. After all, the assistant's work is not only tiring, but also has a small salary, but can only support himself. Their goal is to become a real cartoonist, and Takao Hara is no exception. Moreover, at this time, Takao Hara thought that he had reached the level of becoming a cartoonist, so he would come to Zhao Chen with shamelessness.

"Teacher Harashi Takao. I can also guess your purpose, I want to contribute to "Young SORA"!"

Zhao Chen turned his gaze away from the official bag and looked at Yuan Takafu sitting upright opposite him, his eyes flashing.

"Yes, President. Please give me this opportunity!" Yuan Zhefu's face was a little confused, and then made up his mind to put the briefcase in front of Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen did not go to see the document bag immediately, but looked at Yuan Zhefu with an inexplicable expression and asked, "Have you seen it for the editor?"

"I've read it, but the editor can't say it!"

Hara Takao hesitated for a moment, and finally he was honest. The indecisive meaning was that the editor was not optimistic and was afraid of damaging Hara Takao's enthusiasm, so he said it better.

In fact, Takao Hara actually thought that this was his opportunity when he heard two measures of "Young SORA", because whether it was cutting two serialized works in half or adding three more works, it was undoubtedly quite good news for him. It was because he would come to contribute, hoping to get serialized!

"Okay, let's take a look!" Looking at Yuan Zhefu's a little ashamed look, Zhao Chen couldn't help feeling a little dark. He felt that he was really at ease in his position as the president. These well-known cartoonists who had not yet grown up didn't even dare to show off their anger in front of him, but instead turned into a submissive look.

Zhao Chen is not easy to shirk Haraki, and he also wants to see the true strength of Haraki now.

Take out the drawing from the official document bag and Zhao Chen began to look it up. As the drawing pages were opened, Yuan Zhefu on the opposite side became even more nervous because Zhao Chen's page turn speed was obviously accelerating, which was not good news. He couldn't help but pray that Zhao Chen's reading speed could slow down.

Unfortunately, Yuan Zhefu's prayer did not take effect. In just a few minutes, Zhao Chen put down the draft in his hand and did not intend to watch it again. This made Yuan Zhefu feel disappointed and felt like the sky had collapsed. Because Zhao Chen's actions were almost equivalent to giving him an answer.

"How to say it! Mr. Takao, your painter may be a bit immature, but he has also achieved the ability to serialize! But I feel that your comic is a bit unreleased, and the plot is rather cliché, but it has not met the serialization requirements yet!"

For Yuan Tzefu, Zhao Chen's answer made him at a loss, and his face looked much ugly, but he still said thank you bitterly.

Just as Yuan Zhefu shook his head and planned to say goodbye, Zhao Chen called him again.

"Teacher Harashi, you have the ability to become a cartoonist, but this work does not meet the serialization standards! I also hope you can overturn and draw better works again. You can come to me at any time. As long as the serialization standards are met, I will make arrangements next!"

Zhao Chen's words obviously gave the confidence of Takafu, who was still a little unconfident, especially the saying that you already have the strength of a cartoonist, plus the subsequent words, which gave Takafu the affirmation and respect of Takafu, which made Takafu more grateful to Zhao Chen.

"President, I will definitely draw better works. I will ask the president for advice at that time!"

"Come on! I believe you will achieve your wish!"

After Yuan Takao left with an excited expression, Zhao Chen fell into deep thought again and muttered to himself: "It seems that he needs to practice more, otherwise the quality of "Bei Dou Shenquan" will inevitably decline!"

It turned out that after reading Hashiki Takao's drawings, Zhao Chen believed that Hashiki Takao could not fully control "Bei Dou Shen Fist", otherwise he would directly draw the storyboard of "Bei Dou Shen Fist" and cooperate with Hashiki! At that time, with the popularity of "Bei Dou Shen Fist", it will definitely drive the sales of "Young SORA".

The increase in the number of works of "Boys SORA" undoubtedly gives comic fans better expectations, especially among the few comics added by "Boys SORA" after the revision, a potential work appeared again, that is "Baseball Heroes"!

Because "Baseball Heroes" was created by Zhao Chen, it appeared again in the author's position under Zhao Chen's name, followed by Anda Chong, who specializes in drawings. Just like the author of "Death Notes" and "Dream Eater", the cartoonists who featured in the storyboard are often placed in front, while those who specialize in drawings are placed in the back, which seems to be a demonstration of the higher status of the original author.

The emergence of "Baseball Heroes" quickly gained recognition from comic fans and showed enough potential. This can be seen from the first episode of "Baseball Heroes" to win the first place in the reader survey.

Of course, the first episode of "Baseball Heroes" was because it was a color page, which broke the monopoly position of "Rebellious Lelouch" for the first time. Moreover, the first place he won was very barely, which was less than a percentage point away from Lelouch, which could be said to be quite dangerous. After all, Lelouch is different from other comics in this era. The beauty of this comic particularly attracted the attention of comic fans. "Baseball Heroes" undoubtedly pales in this regard.
