Chapter 332 Yang Ming wants to build an entertainment empire!
Yang Ming is not only the boss of the Imperial Group, but also the provider of comic story outlines and main lines. In the eyes of these Japanese cartoonists, according to the comic content provided by Yang Ming, which image is more suitable?
It depends on what Mr. Yang means.
When Yang Ming arrived, Lan Shaojun and Yang Ming mentioned this matter.
Yang Ming was just wanting to take a look.
Arriving at the "Dragon Group" comic creation team, fifty people are here at this time.
After Yang Ming and others arrived, their discussion in Japanese stopped immediately.
"Show me all the character images you created."
Except for team leader Goto Takashi, almost all of them created images of the character Sun Wukong themselves.
Yang Ming looked carefully, some were fat, some were thin, some were cute, some were all kinds of things.
However, there are teenage and adult versions of the Monkey King character.
Among them, "Looking for the Dragon Balls" is the beginning and a classic, mainly about the young Sun Wukong.
Now, Yang Ming took it over and read it all.
Except for a few characters that fit his vision of Monkey King, the others were far from it.
He suddenly understood why the cartoonists in front of him would really starve to death in Japan.
"Just choose this one! However, you have to change it a little bit."
Yang Ming picked one. It was almost the same as the image of the young Sun Wukong by Akira Toriyama. It was best to change it.
The cartoonist who found out that he was selected by Mr. Yang was also very happy.
Yang Ming picked out the remaining characters one by one.
"Goto Takashi, if you encounter this kind of situation in the future and it cannot be solved, have someone send it to me immediately."
"Yes, Mr. Yang."
If there are no problems with these character images, then there will naturally be no problems with the others.
Like "Searching for the Dragon Balls", it takes Akira Toriyama a long time to create it by one person, both thinking and painting.
Nowadays, many people use the outline and story line provided by Yang Ming. In fact, it is not difficult at all. As long as the main line and branch lines are drawn well, it will be no problem.
"I hope to complete the first volume within half a month and then publish it in Japan."
Compared with "Dragon Ball", "Detective Conan" is a detective type comic and is much more difficult.
When there are fewer of them, because "Detective Conan" is mainly composed of female cartoonists, they can basically solve it.
When Yang Ming read it, he found that the content was quite good.
"Yes, let's proceed according to this, and strive to complete all the contents of the first volume within half a month, and then publish it in Japan."
. . .
1979 2 Month 22 Day.
Thursday.
17:45 in the afternoon.
A large passenger plane flying directly from Toyo Haneda Airport to Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong landed safely at Kai Tak Airport.
Xu Qingsheng returned to Hong Kong for the first time since he was sent to work in Dongyang last year.
Now seeing the bustling Kai Tak Airport, he knows that Xiangjiang is still developing very fast.
When Xu Qingsheng came out of the airport, someone was already greeting him.
"Mr. Xu, the boss is waiting for you at the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay."
"Thank you."
The boss, Mr. Yang, could personally send someone to pick him up. Xu Qingsheng knew that the boss still valued him.
Along the way, Xu Qingsheng looked outside. Less than a year after leaving for Dongyang, he still clearly felt the changes in Xiangjiang.
Leave Kai Tak Airport, go through the Hung Hom Tunnel, and then go to Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
When Xu Qingsheng came to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
The time came to 20:00 in the evening.
"Boss, Mr. Xu Qingsheng is back."
Yang Ming came out and saw Xu Qingsheng getting out of the car. He felt that he hadn't seen him for a year. Xu Qingsheng looked a bit like an Asian.
In fact, many times, it is really easy for many people to assimilate when they go to the East. Including food, use, clothing, etc. The longer the time, the easier it is to assimilate.
"Xu Qingsheng, looking at your outfit, you really look a bit like an Asian."
"Boss, this is out of necessity, everyone over there wears this."
Xu Qingsheng also didn't want others to look at him in other ways.
"It's been a hard time."
"Boss, I should."
In order to wait for Xu Qingsheng to come over and have dinner together, the dinner time was postponed.
Yang Ming, Xu Qingsheng, Yang Jirong, and Li Yufang sat down to have dinner together.
After dinner.
Yang Ming and Xu Qingsheng went upstairs to the study room.
Xu Qingsheng talked in detail about the situation in Dongyang.
It has to be said that Japan has a great influence on modernization, whether it is electrical appliances, electronic products, automobiles, semiconductors, etc.
"Boss, at the end of last year, the old gentleman from China visited Japan. It had a great impact at that time. However, I was not able to meet him."
At that time, the old gentleman had a very urgent schedule in Japan.
The old man also didn't expect that the Imperial Group already had its own industry in Dongyang.
Yang Ming nodded.
Xu Qingsheng talked about the current situation of Empire Games in Japan. It can be said that the sales volume is very good. In addition to some of them being sold to individual players, many of them are sold to the owners of game arcades.
Due to the influence of Toyo pachinko culture, Toyo game arcades have always been very popular. In the past, it was difficult to have decent arcade machines.
However, since the emergence of Empire Games' "Space Invaders" and "Pac-Man", they have become so popular among Japanese gamers that they have also been introduced in large numbers in Japanese game arcades.
Toyo game arcades are basically controlled by some black societies, including the game arcades in the Akihabara area, all of which are monopolized by those societies.
Those game arcades also make a lot of money. Many game arcades may recover their capital in three to four months, and the rest is pure profit. So now these game arcades also hope that Empire Games can produce better game consoles. , so that they can also drink soup and eat meat.
"The reason why I want you to come back this time is to bring the two works that our 2D Comics Studio has created to the market in Japan."
Yang Ming looked at Xu Qingsheng and said.
Some time ago.
Xu Qingsheng has already acquired Dongyang's comic company, Dongyang Comics Publishing House, and even controlled a Japanese local TV station.
All this is in preparation for the listing of Yang Ming's comic industry.
For Yang Ming, in terms of comic sales, he does not have high requirements. He is just creating a valuable comic IP and making further plans for his future entertainment empire.
"Boss, are the comics here?"
"You take a look first."
Yang Ming took out the first volume of "Dragon Ball" and "Detective Conan". When Xu Qingsheng took it over and looked at it, he felt that it had the style and taste of Oriental comics.
This was originally created by those Japanese cartoonists collectively based on the outline he gave.
"Boss, this comic is very good. I think it will definitely become popular in the Japanese comic industry."
"This is just the most basic. First, publish comic books and comic weekly magazines through comic publishing houses, and then find suitable animation talents to film and broadcast on TV stations."
"Boss, isn't it listed in Xiangjiang?"
"Hong Kong has a small population. Let's see the market response in Japan first. If possible, we will then introduce it to Hong Kong, or adapt it into a Hong Kong comic."
