신인상이 많아봐야 서너개인 타 잡지 편집부와 달리 점프는 정기적인 시상 외에도 부정기로 상시로 뭔가 있어서 신인상이 많고 그만큼 상금과 신인 원고료로 연간 억을 넘는데, 이런저런 이유로 신인을 발굴하고자 하는 의도도 있고 예산에서도 어렵다고 하지 않는게 점프의 장점.
젊은 편집자들이 신인작가들을 적극적으로 받아 들여와 만화가 재밌다고 생각하면 만화상에 넣고, 그 만화상을 뽑는 편집회의 자리에서 수시로 작품을 읽는 선배들이 피드백을 주고 젊은이들이 선배로부터 만화 보는법을 배워감.
앙케이트와 관련해선, 점프 내에선 편집장 마음에 안든다고 실리지 않는 구조는 없고, 회의에서 대부분 별다른 반응을 안보여도 ‘최종적으로는 독자들이 심판해줄테니 일단 올리고 보자’라는 스탠스가 기본. 망설여도 일단 실고 본다. 그렇게 시도한게 작가와 편집측의 성공으로 이어지고 앙케이트를 보는게 성장으로 연결된다.
앙케이트는 신인 작품이 증간에 실릴때부터 독자 반응을 볼수있어 거기부터 적극 활용. 편집자와 작가 회의에서는 순위를 보고 원인을 찾아 다음 작품 만들기에 활용하며, ‘점프’가 좋은건 자기작품 뿐만 아니라 전체 순위를 볼수있는 점.
점프 작품 순위를 보며 이런걸 하면 순위가 내려간다다는 등의 숫자 읽는법이나 분석 방법을 축적.
점프에 오는 신인들은 만화가가 되고 싶어서가 아니라 점프에 연재하고 싶다고 생각하는 작가가 많으며 원피스, 드래곤볼, 나루토, 귀멸 같은 국민적 히트작이나 세계적 히트작이 롤모델. 그런 큰 의지를 가진 신인과 우선 데뷔하고 싶다는 신인은 끈기나 성장성이 다르다 (…)
점프 편집자에게 요구되는건 몇년내에 결과를 내야되는거긴 하지만 당장 성적을 내라는게 아니라서 작가에게도 그렇게 요구하진 않고 시간을 들여 작가가 성장해가는데 편집부나 회사도 관용적이고 원조도 하는편.
2010년대 몇몇 IT회사들이 이쪽업계에 뛰어들며 만화를 만드는데 이렇게 시간이 드냐고 당황했다고 하지만 자기네는 그렇게 시간과 돈이 드는게 당연하다고 생각. 그렇게 의젓하게 하는게 홈런을 노리는데는 효율적.
점프 표지로 신인들의 신작을 내걸은 호는 매출은 대체로 떨어지지만 신념이나 정책 같은걸 신인 작가들에겐 보여줄수 있다고(…).
그리고 점프의 앙케이트는 대체로 숫자가 제대로 모이는데다 본지에서의 인기와 코믹스 판매량이 큰 괴리가 없고, 신인 히트작들이 나오는게 차세대 신인들에게 가장 어필된다, 라고…
작가들에게 유행이 이러니 이거 하자고 하진 않는다(기획도 안짜고 편집부도 이야기 안하는) 고 하는데, ‘이걸 하고싶습니다’하고 끝까지 파고들어 작품을 만드는 작가들이 대히트를 치는 인상이 있다는 질문에
기획에 임해서 유행을 중요시 하진 않는데 유행여부로 독자가 어떻게 받아들일지 판단해 유행을 알아는 둔다, 유행하고 있어서 나쁜건 없다, 작가가 좋아해서 하고싶으면 유행하는걸 해줬으면 한다 정도로 언급…
그리고 ‘유행하고 있으니 한다’가 ‘국민적 히트가 될것인가’로 직결되진 않으며 사회현상이 될만큼 팔리는걸 목표로 하는 세계에선 유행 운운은 상관 없다다고 느끼고 있다고(..)
귀멸을 닮은 작품을 만들면 100만부 팔릴겁니다 하는 논리는 점프 회의에선 통할리도 없고 국민적 대히트를 노린다면 유행을 쫓아 기획을 짜봐야 의미가 없고 재현성이 없다고.
조직에서 말 잘듣고 인사잘하는 사람이 성장해서 리더가 되고나서 회사를 말아먹는 한국형 순환구조를 가진 회사들이 꽤 있다.
내가 본 거의 대부분의 조직이 이렇던데
1. 나한테 잘하는 거랑 2. 요즘 주목 받는 거랑 3. 실력 좋은 것, 이 세 가지를 구분할 줄 아는 사람이 잘 없음
1. 나한테 잘해준다고 그 사람이 조직에 도움이 되는 것은 아님. 2. 요즘 주목받고 소위 ‘힙한’ 건 한두계절 못감 지금 주목 받는 사람 데려다가 쓰면 이미 감각이 늦었음. 3. 나한테 잘하지도 않고 아직 주목 받지도 못했으나 실력이 있으면 일을 잘하고, 일을 잘하면 모두에게 도움이 됨.
일하는데 1을 중요시하면 일 말아먹기 딱 좋고, 2는 실력이 없는 거임. 남이 띄운 걸 가져다 쓴거라서 스스로 트렌드를 주도할 자신이 없다는 소리고 실제로 흐름을 못 읽음. 3은 일이 되게 하려는 사람한테만 보임. 쟤 싸가지 없고 나한테 적대적이거나 딱히 관심 없지만 일 잘하는 사람이랑 해야함.
정현 선수 나달과 경기하고 나서 경기가 잘 안 풀린 원인이 뭐라고 생각하는 기자의 질문에 “경기가 안 풀렸다기 보다는 톱 랭커들과 할 때는 뭐든지 쉽지 않다. 상대의 단점을 알고 있어도 실행에 옮기기 어렵기 때문” 이라고 말 했는데 나의 부족함을 인정하는 건 정말 큰 용기고 멋졌다.

늘 현실은 생각하고 다른 것임을 또 한 번 깨닫지만 그래도 이번에 드는 생각은 내가 자기 전에 누워서 하는 생각이 현실이 되려면 정말 많은 사람의 도움이 필요하다는 것과 결과물로 가는 과정 중에 궤도가 조금 수정되어도 본래의 취지만 훼손되지 않는다면 일의 마무리를 꼭 한 번 지어보는 것이 좋겠다.

My dad left me for good a couple of days ago and his funeral was held this morning in Korea. But I am here in Paris to sing in front of you. I am not sure if this is appropriate. But as a singer I thought I should be here. Also I firmly believe my dad is happy to be watching me and you the audience from up above at this moment. Thank you for being with me today. I won’t forget this. I dedicate this recital to my dad. Now, I will sing Schubert’s Ave Maria for my dad.
Jimmy Kimmel: (02:03:15) In 1996, our next speaker faced an 18-year-old Kobe Bryant on the court for the first time. Midway through the game, while playing, Kobe asked him for tips on his jump shot. Kobe scored 33 points that game against his boyhood idol. Michael scored 36 and won the game, too. Please welcome Michael Jordan.
Michael Jordan: (02:04:09) I would say, “Good morning,” but it’s afternoon. I’m grateful to Vanessa and the Bryant family for the opportunity to speak today. I’m grateful to be here to honor Gigi and celebrate the gift that Kobe gave us all. What he accomplished as a basketball player, as a businessman and a storyteller and as a father.
Michael Jordan: (02:04:45) In the game of basketball, in life as a parent, Kobe left nothing in the tank. He left it all on the floor. Maybe it surprised people that Kobe and I were very close friends, but we were very close friends. Kobe was my dear friend. He was like a little brother.
Michael Jordan: (02:05:23) Everyone always wanted to talk about the comparisons between he and I. I just wanted to talk about Kobe. All of us have brothers, sisters, little brothers, little sisters who, for whatever reason, always tend to get in your stuff. Your closet, your shoes, everything. It was a nuisance, if I can say that word. But that nuisance turned into love over a period of time just because the admiration that they had for you as big brothers or big sisters.
Michael Jordan: (02:06:13) The questions, their wanting to know every little detail about life that they were about to embark on. He used to call me, text me 11:30, 2:30, 3:00 in the morning talking about post up moves, footwork, and sometimes the triangle. At first, it was an aggravation but then it turned into a certain passion.
Michael Jordan: (02:06:55) This kid had passion like you would never know. It’s amazing thing about passion. If you love something, if you have a strong passion for something, you would go to the extreme to try to understand or try to get it. Either ice cream, Cokes, hamburgers, whatever you have a love for. If you have to walk, you would go get it. If you have to beg someone, you would go get it. What Kobe Bryant was to me was the inspiration that someone truly cared about the way either I played the game or the way that he wanted to play the game. He wanted to be the best basketball player that he could be.
Michael Jordan: (02:07:47) And as I got to know him, I wanted to be the best big brother that I could be. To do that, you have to put up with the aggravation, the late night calls or the dumb questions. I took great pride as I got to know Kobe Bryant that he was just trying to be a better person, a better basketball player. We talked about business, we talked about family, we talked about everything. And he was just trying to be a better person.
Michael Jordan: (02:08:52) Now he’s got me, I’ll have to look at another crying meme for the next… I told my wife I wasn’t going to do this because I didn’t want to see that for the next three or four years. That is what Kobe Bryant does to me. I’m pretty sure Vanessa and his friends all can say the same thing. He knows how to get to you in a way that affects you personally. Even if he’s being a pain in the ass, you always had a sense of love for him and the way that he can bring out the best in you. And he did that for me.
Michael Jordan: (02:09:49) I remember maybe a couple of months ago, he sends me a text and he’s saying, “I’m trying to teach my daughter some moves and I don’t know what I was thinking or what I was working on. But what were you thinking about as you were growing up trying to work on your moves?” I said, “What age?” He says, “12.” I said, “12, I was trying to play baseball.” He sends me a text back saying, “Laughing my ass off.” And this was at 2:00 in the morning.
Michael Jordan: (02:10:41) But the thing about him was we could talk about anything that related to basketball, but we can talk about anything that related to life. And we, as we grew up in life, rarely have friends that we can have conversations like that. Well, it’s even rarer when you can grow up against adversaries and have conversations like that.
Michael Jordan: (02:11:08) I went and saw Phil Jackson in 1999 or maybe 2000, I don’t know. When Phil was here in LA and I walk in and Kobe’s sitting there. And I’m in a suit, the first thing Kobe said, “Did you bring your shoes?” No, I wasn’t thinking about playing. But his attitude to compete and play against someone he felt like he could enhance and improve his game with. Jimmy, that’s what I loved about the kid. Absolutely loved about the kid.
Michael Jordan: (02:11:46) No matter where he saw me, it was a challenge and I admired him because his passion, you rarely see someone who’s looking and trying to improve each and every day. And not just in sports, but as a parent, as a husband, I am inspired by what he’s done and what he shared with Vanessa and what he’s shared with his kids.
Michael Jordan: (02:12:13) I have a daughter who is 30, I just became a grandparent and I have two twins. I have twins at six. I can’t wait to get home to become a girl dad and to hug them and to see the love and the smiles that they bring to us as parents. He taught me that just by looking at this tonight, looking at how he responded and reacted with the people that he actually loved. These are the things that we will continue to learn from Kobe Bryant.
Michael Jordan: (02:12:52) To Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka, Capri, my wife and I will keep you close in our hearts and our prayers. We will always be here for you, always. I also want to offer our condolences and support to all the families affected by this enormous tragedy.
Michael Jordan: (02:13:14) Kobe gave every last ounce of himself to whatever he was doing after basketball, he showed a creative side to himself that I didn’t think any of us knew he had. In retirement, he seemed so happy. He found new passions and he continued to give back as a coach in his community.
Michael Jordan: (02:13:44) More importantly, he was an amazing dad, amazing husband who dedicated himself to his family and who loved his daughters with all his heart. Kobe never left anything on the court and I think that’s what he would want for us to do.
Michael Jordan: (02:14:09) No one knows how much time we have. That’s why we must live in the moment. We must enjoy the moment. We must reach and see and spend as much time as we can with our families and friends and the people that we absolutely love. To live in the moment means to enjoy each and every one that we come in contact with.
Michael Jordan: (02:14:37) When Kobe Bryant died, a piece of me died. And as I look in this arena and across the globe, a piece of you died, or else you wouldn’t be here. Those are the memories that we have to live with and we learn from. I promise you, from this day forward, I will live with the memories of knowing [inaudible 02:15:01] little brother that I tried to help in every way I could. Please rest in peace, little brother.
