Conan: Developing business in Kexue World

Chapter 2 Let Doraemon Become Children's Childhood

Yoshida's dining table is custom-made, with a large hole dug into the tabletop, and an induction cooker inside.When it is not in use at ordinary times, it is an ordinary dining table when the cover is closed, and it is a hot pot table when it is opened.

The family gathered around the dining table, and it really was a mandarin duck pot.Very hungry, Kenta was not polite, picked up a plate of freshly cut mutton rolls and poured them into the red oil pan.

"Ah, Kenta. Put some in the clear soup pot for Papa too."

"living comfortably without anybody's help."

"It smells so good." Ami said the seasoning bowl beside her.

The hot pot in Sichuan is usually an oil bowl, but the Yoshida family likes to dip it in sesame sauce when eating hot pot.Served with crushed nuts, coriander, spicy millet, mashed garlic, and a spoonful of oyster sauce, what a delicious word.

"Meat is energy, I'm going to start it." Kenta strikes first.

"I'm gonna start now."

"I'm gonna start now."

The Yoshida family has no rule of not talking when eating or sleeping, and the family chats while eating.

"Honey, how's the manuscript going?"

"It's still the same, the editor keeps urging me, I really want to play mahjong, I really want to lie down, I really want to be a salted fish." Toshio Yoshida looked like he was about to burn out.

Toshio Yoshida is currently creating Doraemon.

I believe that Doraemon is the childhood dream of most people. They always fantasize about a blue doraemon jumping out of their desk and taking out various magical props to solve problems for themselves.

The same is true for Kenta Yoshida. When he discovered that there is no Doraemon in this world, he always wanted to take it out at the right time, so that children in this world can have such a childhood.
-
Since awakening at the age of 3, he has appeared in front of his parents as a young adult, showing his precocious side and subtly influencing his parents.

The time came quickly. When Kenta Yoshida was 5 years old, his family suffered a major blow.His father's comics were cut in half, and several consecutive new drafts were rejected.The previous savings of the family were used to buy real estate in Mihua Town, and the murders in Mihua Town surged, and the family began to make ends meet.

In 1991, the neon bubble economy burst, and the stock market and real estate have continued to decline since 1990.Various signs have shown that the Great Depression is about to happen, but the social atmosphere is still indulging in the false golden age, clamoring to buy the United States.

In May 1991, Tokyo Juliana opened, and the luxurious nightclub was full of people every day. It was impossible to turn around in the store without bumping into the people around you. Hundreds of people lined up outside the store every day waiting to enter.

The reaction of the people was delayed, and it was already 1995 when they woke up from the dream.And the gold-selling cave—Tokyo Juliana—has closed down in August 94.

Seeing that her retired mother, Ami, was about to come back to support the family business, 5-year-old Kenta took an agreement and a script setting in front of her father. This was the first step in the plan.

"Kenta, Dad is thinking about the plot, what's the matter?" Toshio Yoshida looked very tired at that time, but he still squeezed a smile on his face.

As a well-known manga artist, Toshio Yoshida's representative work is "The Daily Life of Little Cherry", a unit drama that describes the daily stories of elementary school students.

Unfortunately, it was 1996, and due to the influence of the general environment, the sci-fi comics he had been creating recently also failed one after another.

Wearing a small suit, Kenta Yoshida crossed his arms and said in very formal words: "Father, please read this agreement first. If you agree, we will talk about it next."

On the A4 paper, there are two large characters of the written agreement, the content is:
Party A Yoshida Kenta, Party B____.

Party A provides Party B with an outline setting to ensure that it signs a contract with the publisher.And participate in the plot design from time to time, providing whimsy.

Party B shall pay 30% of the royalties to Party A as remuneration, and allow Party A to dispose freely.

Two copies shall be kept separately.

Although this agreement is very simple, it is not impossible to make a rigorous and detailed contract, but Kenta thinks that father and son should not pursue too rigid documents.This agreement is more like a gentlemen's agreement.

Of course, this is also taking advantage of the convenience of being a child. After all, which parent would not agree to his son's formal request.

"Interesting, Dad agreed." He picked up a pen and signed Toshio Yoshida's name, "Let me see what amazing ideas our little genius has, and dare to boast that he will sign with the publishing house."

The script next to it is "Doraemon".

Kenta Yoshida never thought about drawing by himself. First, it would take a lot of time and energy. In addition, in his previous life, he could only be regarded as a fan of novels, games, and anime. He still has no confidence in his ability to tell stories better than his father, a well-known manga artist.

Toshio Yoshida opened the script, and saw a blue civet cat on the first page, with a big head, small round hands, a yellow bell, and a big pocket on its stomach.The image is drawn very well. After all, Toshio Yoshida will teach Kenta how to draw when he has nothing to do. It is not difficult to draw a little doraemon with simple lines.

The general setting of the manga is written on the side.A cat-shaped robot from the 22nd century - Doraemon, entrusted by its master Nobi Sexiu, back to the 20th century, with the help of various future props taken from the four-dimensional pocket, to help Sexiu's great-grandfather - —Primary school student Nobi Nobita resolves all kinds of difficult problems around him, as well as the light-hearted, humorous, funny and touching stories that happened with his mother Nobi Yuko, his friends Shizuka, Fat Tiger, and Xiaofu in life.

I also drew some magical props, such as time machine, arbitrary door, bamboo dragonfly, time bag, translation konjac and so on.

Toshio Yoshida was deeply attracted by these novel settings and magical props.After a while, the outline of the script was finished.

Putting down the script, Toshio Yoshida heaved a sigh of relief, hugged Kenta violently, kissed him on the face, and rubbed Kenta back and forth with his face.

"Hahaha, he is indeed the son of Toshio Yoshida, he is really a little genius, he is very easy on me, hahaha."

Kenta Yoshida wiped off the saliva on his face with a speechless face, "Oh, it seems that you already have a lot of inspiration, draw it quickly, and remember to pay me for it."
-
Back to the present, this year is the 10th year that Doraemon has been serialized.

The company planned to put Doraemon on the big screen last year, and Kenta gave his father the outline of his favorite theatrical version of "Nobita's Dinosaur".Recently, the theatrical version is coming to an end, and Toshio Yoshida has been busy putting forward suggestions for amendments, while also being responsible for the daily serialization, he is very busy.

"My dear, you've worked hard, come and eat a piece of meat." Ami Yoshida picked up a piece of beef and put it in Toshio Yoshida's bowl.

"Honey, you can eat too." Toshio Yoshida also took a piece for Ami Yoshida.

The dinner table was full of the sour smell of love, Yoshida Kenta didn't care about it, and buried his head in dry meat, he really didn't envy him at all, not at all.
