Songgang Dong was a little surprised. He thought the other party would let him join the basketball team, but he didn't expect him to leave directly. He had already thought of the words to refuse.
But it was just as well that the other party didn't say anything. After all, he didn't want to spend a lot of time playing basketball.
At this time, Kazukami Ohno was already calculating in his heart. After all, it would be a waste if such a talented player was not brought into the team.
He has already decided that if Song Gangdong is there, then he will definitely advance to the national competition this time, it just depends on what place he can get.
However, since Songgang Dong did not join the basketball team, I knew he was definitely not interested, so that's why I didn't invite him right away.
It would be bad if I was rejected by the other party. If I want to invite him in, I should make a final move. So I plan to talk to Teacher Ohkawa after returning to the office.
Songgang Dong certainly didn't know that he was still being remembered. When he returned to the class, everyone greeted him warmly and some girls had heart shapes in their eyes.
"Brother Songgang, you are awesome!" Saori patted his chest excitedly.
Sigong also said excitedly: "I didn't expect you to be able to play basketball."
She really didn't expect that Songgang could not only paint but also fight. She was really shocked just now. He always makes people feel surprised.
Squad leader Yoshikawa praised: "It's hidden very well."
Song Gangdong smiled and said, "I feel embarrassed for you guys. Don't take the game too seriously. After all, basketball is a five-player game. I might not be able to play well in the real game."
"Come to think of it, I really want to see you participate in a formal competition. Brother Songgang, why don't you join the basketball team?" Saori asked curiously.
"Too tired," Song Gangdong waved his hand.
This reason is very strong, because everyone around me is ordinary students so they understand it very well. In fact, they don’t understand why Songgang winter sports are so powerful.
Soon the bell for the end of get out of class rang, and Songgang Dong quickly asked the enthusiastic classmate to go to the bathroom. After seeing him leave, the others dispersed, but they still discussed what had just happened in groups of two or three.
"Are we still good friends? You are hiding something so important from me."
Just when Songgang Dong came out of the bathroom, he saw Ito Kabuto looking at him with resentment. This know-it-all was a little unhappy that he had not collected all his information.
"You didn't ask either," Song Gangdong shrugged.
"Damn it, so now tell me how much you have been hiding from me," Ito Kabuto asked like a housewife.
"Guess," Song Gangdong said with a slight smile.
Ito Kabuto rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you don't want to say it, just say it. But I will know it sooner or later. I'm not called a know-it-all for nothing."
"Yes, yes..." Song Gangdong said perfunctorily.
The next two days after the basketball game were very peaceful. The only difference was that his story had spread around the campus, and many people who had not seen it with their own eyes were very curious.
Just when he thought the matter was over, he was called to the office just after school one day. His heart skipped a beat when he saw Ohkouchi and Ohno Kazukami.
"We meet again, Mr. Songgang," said Kazukami Ohno with a smile.
"Hello, teacher," he greeted and looked at Ohkouchi.
Ohkouchi immediately explained: "The reason I asked you to come here this time is actually to discuss the national basketball tournament. Mr. Ohno wants to invite you to join."
"That's right, Mr. Songgang, your ability is undoubtedly very strong. I believe that with you, Haicheng High School will definitely be able to enter the national competition this time," said Ohno Kazukami excitedly.
"Thank you for the praise, teacher, but I have been very busy with my studies recently and I really don't have any time to participate in the competition," Song Gangdong politely declined.
Ohkouchi said at this time: "Don't rush to refuse, you want to be admitted to the University of Tokyo."
"That's right," Songgang nodded.
Since I had just filled out the application form some time ago, it was very normal for Ohkouchi to know about it.
"So what subject do you plan to take?" asked Ohkouchi.
"Of course it's the third category of science," Songgang Dong answered without hesitation.
The third category of science at the University of Tokyo is the most difficult to pass, which refers to the School of Medicine, which includes the Departments of Medicine and Health Care.
It has a brain research laboratory, a medical electronics laboratory, an audio-language medicine laboratory, an experimental animal breeding room, two affiliated hospitals, and affiliated schools including a nursing school and a midwifery school.
It is a very famous department all over the world, and basically after graduation, students will be hired by major companies with high salaries.
"If that's the case, then you should know how difficult it is to get admitted there. If you participate in the national competition and achieve certain results, you may receive special recommendation from the Department of Health Care," Okochi said with a smile.
"Oh? I really didn't know that," Song Gangdong was a little surprised.
At this time, Coach Ohno explained: "In fact, it is not only basketball, but other sports are also like this, but the prerequisite is that you must have a certain level of academic performance. According to the University of Tokyo, the students who are admitted are generally weak in physique, so this happens."
Song Gangdong understood it immediately. After all, health care is closely related to exercise. How can the patients trust the students if they themselves are not healthy?
Chapter 124: Fifteen Percent Profit Conditions
In the end he agreed to Mr. Ohkouchi's suggestion. After all, he was not absolutely sure that he could pass the exam. In fact, his original goal was to become a lawyer.
But later on, he changed his goal and decided to take the medical school exam. Of course, he didn't give up on the lawyer either. That's right, he wanted to take both exams.
When I watched a variety show in Japan before, I saw a top student doing this, so he planned to do the same. Of course, it is difficult, but with a lawyer as a backup, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.
"That's great. See you at the gym after school tomorrow," said Ohno Kazukami happily.
Song Gangdong quickly said, "But I also have a condition. I will not stay in the basketball team for long after the national competition."
"That's easy to say," Ohno responded with a smile.
After the discussion, Ohno left, and then Ohkouchi looked at Matsuoka very seriously, as if he was seeing him for the first time.
"Did you experience those things in the comics yourself?" she asked curiously.
Song Gangdong nodded: "Indeed, we have practiced it."
He is not bragging. The rich second generation used to like Slam Dunk, and Songgang followed the movements in it, so he basically knows all the moves in it.
"Amazing!" Ohkouchi really admired him.
"It's not that exaggerated. In fact, many professional players and some great people can do it."
"But you are just a high school student now. Maybe you can see the birth of a talented player," Ohkouchi chuckled.
"I'm not a genius. If everything is fine, I'll go back first," Song Gangdong said quickly.
"Go ahead, but don't fall behind in your studies, otherwise you'll be putting the cart before the horse," she advised seriously.
Matsuoka Dong nodded and left the office. Shinomiya had already gone home and Saori was in the club, so he walked out of the campus alone for the first time in a long time.
However, he did not go home directly because today Editor Yoshino called him and asked him to come over but did not tell him what it was.
"Is it about the sequel?" Matsuoka Dong thought, but then he felt that it was not the case. At that time, he had already clearly rejected Yoshino and he was sure that Yoshino would not go back on his word.
He hailed a taxi and headed to Shueisha. When he arrived at the entrance of the editorial department, he found it was very quiet inside. He opened the door and went in out of curiosity.
boom! boom! boom!
"Congratulations to Mr. Songgang for the animation of Slam Dunk!"
Everyone in the editorial office gathered together and set off small fireworks in their hands. Songgang Dong was also startled by this surprise but then his face was full of smiles.
"So fast? I thought it would take some time," Song Gangdong said in surprise.
"They take it very seriously so they've sped up the process. The first episode will be aired soon, but I didn't tell you in advance because I wanted to give you a surprise," Yoshino explained.
"It's okay, I'm very happy," Songgang Dong smiled.
Japan's anime series are usually produced and broadcast at the same time, and four episodes are reserved in advance, so it is not too surprising that they can be broadcast on TV so soon.
"But is it okay without any advance publicity?" Song Gangdong asked.
Most people think that after a comic is animated, the original author will follow the entire process. In fact, this is not the case. Generally, the author does not have much say because the copyright has been licensed out and he can only collect some royalties.
"It seems that Mr. Matsuoka has been very busy recently. In fact, he has already promoted it in the latest episode. This way you can save a lot of money and those who read the comics will definitely not miss the animation," Yoshino said with a smile.
Song Gangdong was a little embarrassed and said, "I haven't read it recently."
"It's okay, I have a feeling the animation will be a big hit," Yoshino said confidently.
"I hope so," Songgang Dong nodded.
Then he and the people in the editorial office waited for the broadcast to start. When the time came, the familiar song sounded, and the image of the railway street lights was exactly the same as in his previous life.
"It seems that my suggestions have been well adopted," Songgang Dong said with satisfaction.
In fact, he gave Yoshino some suggestions on animation, but he was not sure whether the producers would adopt them. He originally thought that there would be a different Slam Dunk, but he did not expect it to be almost the same.
Yoshino responded admiringly: "After reading your suggestion, the supervisor tried it right away and the result was very good, so he adopted it completely."
"Thank you so much," Songgang Dong was also very happy.
The animation on TV has only been aired for two episodes but it has already aroused everyone's interest. Although everyone has read the comics, watching the animation is a completely different feeling.
"Congratulations, Mr. Songgang"
After the animation ended, everyone congratulated him again, and Songgang could only respond politely. Fortunately, everyone soon got back to work.
He and Editor Yoshino went to the reception room, and they both took a sip of tea slowly before starting to chat.
"I think you called me here today not just for the animation," said Matsuoka Dong with a smile.
Editor Yoshino nodded: "Yes, the Slam Dunk manga is now coming to an end, so I would like to ask Mr. Matsuoka if he has any plans for the next one?"
"Well, actually I want to take a break," Songgang Dong responded softly.
"You definitely need to rest. After all, I know how intense it is to draw Slam Dunk. But I suggest you build on the momentum and create your next work as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a shame," Yoshino suggested tactfully.
Song Gangdong looked at him and smiled, "Actually, I don't really care."
Yoshino couldn't hold it in anymore and said with a wry smile, "Well, actually our editorial department hopes that you, Mr. Songgang, can publish a new work."
"Why are you so anxious?" Song Gangdong was a little puzzled.
"Actually, the higher-ups are anxious because the company has been affected by the economic environment, and also because of the construction of this new building, we are short of funds, so we need to generate revenue urgently," Editor Yoshino explained somewhat awkwardly.
Songgang Dong understood: "No wonder, if that's the case, there won't be any problem with the new work."
"That's great. Mr. Matsuoka, do you have any ideas?" Yoshino was very happy and could immediately see that he had reservations.
"Yes, I do, but I also have a condition," Song Gangdong said slowly after drinking a sip of tea.
Yoshino said seriously, "You said that the company will definitely try its best to satisfy you."
"I want 15% of the revenue from the peripheral products of this new work," Songgang Dong stated his conditions.
"Fifteen percent!" Yoshino was a little scared.
Song Gangdong nodded: "Yes, if you agree to this, I will start painting a new work immediately."
