They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 222 The chirping giant, the chirping Hui
"You're kneeling now? What's going on?" The scene in front of him made Zhou Zilong at a loss.

Of course Zhou Zilong knows that kneeling is the most sincere way of apologizing in Japan, but he has been studying at the University of Tokyo for graduate school since graduating from college. It has been a few years now, and this is the first time he has seen someone kneel and apologize in real life.

"Xiao Lu, who is Zhang Wei?" Zhou Zilong asked again.

"Didn't I tell you that he is the reincarnation of Einstein? Do you know Einstein? He is the greatest scientist in the world." Lu Yunxiang said.

"Nonsense, how could I not know Einstein! I asked Zhang Wei, not Einstein!"

"Zhang Wei will become the greatest scientist in the world like Einstein in the future!" Lu Yunxiang said confidently.

At this time, everyone else in the viewing area was also stunned by this scene.

"Why did Researcher Takahashi kneel down and apologize to the Chinese?"

"What is the identity of that Chinese person? He actually needs Researcher Takahashi to kneel down and apologize?"

"Didn't you listen to what they said? The Chinese man's name is Zhang Wei. He should be a very powerful scholar."

"But the Chinese also said that he is an exchange student. How can a powerful scholar be an exchange student!"

There were definitely no high-level scholars who came to observe this kind of experiment. They didn't know Zhang Wei's great achievements. If he had been a high-level scholar and knew that it was Zhang Wei in front of him, he would have already kneeled down and licked him.

Zhang Wei looked at Takahashi, who was already kneeling down, and did not embarrass him. Instead, he said: "Mr. Takahashi, it seems this is a misunderstanding. Please get up!"

"Thank you very much for your understanding, Mr. Zhang Wei!" Takahashi stood up and stood aside cautiously.

Because of Zhang Wei, Takahashi's efforts for a year were in vain, and even his promotion and salary increase were ruined. Takahashi had already secretly greeted Zhang Wei's eighteen generations of ancestors.

But when he actually faced Zhang Wei, he still pretended to be a grandson.

After all, Japan is a highly hierarchical society. Takahashi is just a special researcher, not even an assistant professor. When meeting a top scholar like Zhang Wei, no matter how much hatred he feels in his heart, he can only keep a very low profile.

Besides, Xiaoli people are the kind of people who have to be punished in person in order to be honest.

If you just show off your strength, it won't be of much use in front of the young people. They may also think that you are a fat sheep and they will bite you if they find an opportunity.

But if you just beat them up, they will become obedient. The harder you beat them, the more obedient they will be.

Zhang Wei revealed his identity just now and confronted Takahashi Hard Steel just to give him a beating. When dealing with the Japanese, it is useless to be low-key. If you are low-key, you will be regarded as a coward. The more low-key you are, the more they will push forward.

Tell Takahashi directly that I can beat you up with my fists at any time. Takahashi turned into hellokitty in seconds and was extremely obedient.

……

Things developed just as Zhang Wei expected. After receiving the news, the University of Tokyo immediately contacted Tsinghua University and confirmed Zhang Wei's true identity.

The next day, Zhang Wei received a grand reception. The president of the University of Tokyo personally received him and treated him like a distinguished guest. Zhang Wei's residence was also moved from the international student dormitory to a high-end apartment off campus, and a special car was provided to pick Zhang Wei up. .

In addition, the University of Tokyo also arranged travel itineraries with Zhang Wei, including visiting Mount Fuji, visiting Kyoto, going to Hakone to soak in hot springs, etc. The receptionist even asked Zhang Wei privately if he wanted to arrange a trip to Kabukicho to enjoy the characteristics of Japan.

Of course, this was sternly rejected by Zhang Wei. If he won the Nobel Prize in the future, wouldn't this become black history? The greatest scientist in the world went to Japan to visit a brothel, and suddenly he became a tainted scientist with bad morals.

Even if you want to visit Kabukicho, you can't let the University of Tokyo entertain you, so you can go there secretly. It's best to bring Lu Yunxiang with you, and use Lu Yunxiang's black card when the time comes.

Of course, Zhang Wei cannot just enjoy the benefits and not work. He still has to participate in activities such as academic seminars and scientific research exchange meetings.

When the University of Tokyo entertains you with delicious food and drinks, it is naturally not charity. You have to spend some money and make some academic contributions to be worthy of their hospitality.

This is also a rule that scholars should abide by. If scholars go to a certain school and just eat and drink without any academic exchanges, who will bother to entertain scholars in the future?
……

There are three major manga publishing houses in Japan, namely Shueisha, Kodansha and Shogakukan. These three major manga publishing houses receive a large number of submissions every day, but only less than one thousandth of them can truly catch the eye of editors.

Japan's animation industry is developed, and there are many people who want to become cartoonists. Many of them have frequently submitted manuscripts to publishing houses since they were in middle school. It is precisely because the threshold for submission is relatively low that most of the manuscripts are of poor quality.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this environment, editors selecting comics for submission are like panning for gold in a trash can. If you can find a few mineral water bottles, you will be rewarded.

Even if you occasionally find a comic work that looks good, you will not publish it directly. Instead, you will recommend this work to participate in the Newcomer Comic Award. Only those works that can win the comic award will have the opportunity to debut as cartoonists.

A few people with relatively high talents will have the opportunity to publish a short work and debut as a cartoonist after winning a comic award. Only if the response to the short work is very good can they publish a serialized comic.

This is the case for Akira Toriyama, Yoshihiro Togashi, Takehiko Inoue, etc. After they were shortlisted for the Newcomer Award, they published a short story and then serialized their famous works.

After all, talented cartoonists like Akira Toriyama, Yoshihiro Togashi, and Takehiko Inoue are in the minority. Most people do not have this kind of talent. After winning the Manga Award, they cannot immediately debut as cartoonists, nor do they have the opportunity to publish serial works. Instead, they need to continue to hone their skills as painters and screenwriters.

For example, Masashi Kishimoto, after winning the Newcomer Award, many of his works were edited out, and he was in trouble for four years. It was not until "Naruto" that he made a comeback.

There is also Kubo Tateto, who was shortlisted for the Manga Award at the age of seventeen, which can be said to be an achievement at a young age. However, several works in succession either received no response or were forced to cease publication midway. It wasn't until the serialization of "Death" that it really became popular.

Another great master, Eiichiro Oda, did not make his debut immediately after winning the Tezuka Award. Instead, he worked as an assistant to many well-known cartoonists, including Nobuhiro Watsuki. This means that part of "Rurouni Kenshin" is written by Oda. Drawn by Eiichiro. After working as an assistant for five years, Oda serialized "One Piece" and has since become the world's top manga artist.

Cartoonists like Oda who can become famous after hard training are actually relatively lucky. Most of them are the kind of cartoonists who remain unknown for a lifetime after receiving the Newcomer Award. For them, the Newcomer Award is theirs. The crowning moment of your comic career!

In the large office of Kodansha, one of the three major manga publishing houses, Shintaro Kawakubo was fiddling with the manga submissions in his hands.

Shintaro Kawakubo is the editor of "Weekly Shonen Magazine". He has been in the industry for six years and was just promoted to director this year.

In the Japanese corporate system, a director is not a managerial position, but a senior employee. According to the seniority system of Japanese companies, regular employees can be promoted to directors after working for five to ten years. Shintaro Kawakubo was promoted to director in his sixth year, which can be considered to be very professional.

It's just that so far, Shintaro Kawakubo doesn't have a serial work that he can produce, and he doesn't have a famous cartoonist.

"Such a bad style of painting. Even elementary school students can draw better than this. It's like kindergarten graffiti! I don't know who gave him the courage to submit an article." Shintaro Kawakubo snorted and picked up a rejection seal. , photographed on this work.

Then, he picked up the next manuscript and first touched the outer express envelope with his hand. It was quite thick.

"I'm afraid it's one hundred and fifty pages thick, right? It takes a lot of time, and it's rare for someone to submit so many manuscripts!"

Shintaro Kawakubo opened the envelope, took out the manuscript, and first took a look at the name of the comic.

""Chiji Giant"? The author is Zhang Wei. This cartoonist is not Japanese! Looking at the name, he should be Chinese or Korean!"

Shintaro Kawakubo frowned. He was instinctively a little resistant to non-Japanese cartoonists.

Although the Japanese comics market is huge, the competition is also very fierce. Japanese cartoonists are already fighting hard, and foreign cartoonists are coming to compete for food. As a Japanese, Shintaro Kawakubo, of course, is Not happy.

Moreover, based on Shintaro Kawakubo's experience, foreign cartoonists are much worse than Japanese cartoonists, and their painting style is not the type that Japanese readers like.

The most important thing is that Japanese comics and comics from European and American countries are completely two production systems.

The production team of Japanese comics is relatively small. The team completes the work through a clear division of labor and pays more attention to the development of individual abilities.

Comic production in European and American countries follows an industrialized approach, with professional screenwriters, professional storyboards, professional manuscript artists, and professional post-processing. The drawn comics look like they were produced on an assembly line.

It is worth mentioning that Hong Kong comics draw lessons from European and American development models. It is easy to find references to Marvel or DC in some of the more popular Hong Kong comic works of the last century.

Simply put, Japanese comics are products of craftsmen and are full of the craftsman’s personal characteristics; while European and American comics are factory products and are all the same.

This is also a key factor for Japanese comics to become popular all over the world. Cultural and creative products still require some craftsmanship.

Shintaro Kawakubo was not optimistic about "Chiji Giant" at all, and he even had the realistic style of Hong Kong comics in his mind. But now that the envelope has been opened, let’s take a look!

Turning over the first page, Shintaro Kawakubo was startled. It was not drawn directly with a pen, but a printed sketch, which meant that the author used a drawing tablet!
Using a professional drawing tablet to draw comics is basic common sense more than ten years later. Except for a few cartoonists who insist on using pen and paper, most cartoonists use drawing tablets and drawing software to create.

But in 2005, drawing tablets were still a new thing. Only some professional cartoonists could use drawing tablets to create, and most people still drew directly on paper with pens.

What Zhang Wei exchanged from the devil was the electronic version of the Attack on Titan comic. Naturally, he had to print it out before submitting it. Faced with the agreed-upon manuscript, Shintaro Kawakubo naturally regarded it as using a drawing tablet.

"You can use a drawing tablet. Are you a professional cartoonist?" A solemn look appeared on Shintaro Kawakubo's face.

Since it is possible that it is a professional cartoonist, even if it is not Japanese, it is definitely better than those submitted by middle school students, so you still need to take a careful look.

Then Shintaro Kawakubo began to read the content of the manga himself.

"This style of painting seems a bit weird at first glance. The painting is a bit rough, without any sense of refinement, and even too simple. But if you look closely, both the composition and the expressions of the characters are quite full."

Reading page after page, Shintaro Kawakubo quickly finished fifty pages and saw the scene where the giant giant appeared outside the wall.

"In the first part, the rhythm is very tight and the amount of information is very large. With this level of plot rhythm, it must be a professional cartoonist."

Continuing to read, seeing the giants attacking the city, seeing Allen's mother being eaten by the giants, and seeing the helplessness of humans facing the giants, Shintaro Kawakubo actually felt a ray of shock in his heart.

"My mother was eaten by a giant. The next plot should involve killing the giant to avenge my mother! I'm really looking forward to it!"

Shintaro Kawakubo continued to read, and when he saw the giant giant appearing again on page 140, Allen took the initiative to greet him. At this time, the manuscript also reached the last page.

"It's gone? It's gone now? There must be a battle between Allen and the giant giant next, right? I'm so looking forward to it! It actually makes me feel a sense of anticipation. This author is amazing!" Shintaro Kawakubo let out a long sigh.

"If nothing else, the setting of giants and humans is very novel. I think with this beginning, I don't even need to participate in the comic awards, I can publish it directly!"

Shintaro Kawakubo looked at the author's name again and sighed: "Zhang Wei, it's a pity that he is not Japanese. I don't know if the company is willing to accept the manuscript. The quality of this work is really excellent, I still report it to the section chief. , let him make the decision!”

……

"Brother, can you draw comics?" Lu Yunxiang asked curiously, holding another comic manuscript.

"When I first started learning, my painting skills were relatively average!" Zhang Wei replied.

"This painter is relatively ordinary, not as good as "Naruto", but he can still watch it!" Lu Yunxiang said, looked at the name, and then said: "Chirping giant? Why do you have such a name? Why not call it Chi Chi? The giant? Or the chirping giant!"

"Because Chachahui disagrees!" Zhang Wei replied with a smile.

"Chachahui? Who is it?"

"We are brothers!"

"Brother?" Lu Yunxiang blinked in confusion.

Zhang Wei opened his mouth and replied: "We are brothers, so come and bite me!"
