Chapter 662 The same routine! Great harvest! !
A week later.
1981 4 Month 6 Day.
Yang Ming spent a week relaxing at the Ikeda family's private hot spring resort.
Basically, I spend my time soaking in hot springs and admiring the cherry blossoms.
When Yang Ming left in the car, Ikeda Jiu and the staff here kept sending Yang Ming and others to the car enthusiastically.
"Sir Yang, welcome back next time."
next time?
I’m afraid I don’t know when it is.
Yang Ming and others took the car back to Setagaya villa area.
When he returned here, Yang Ming refocused his energy on the inspection work.
Although Yang Ming didn't need to go out for inspection, the members of the inspection team who came with him this time always had feedback on relevant information.
Among them, Akio Nakanishi has done a very good job in games.
In addition to establishing a strategic game alliance in accordance with Yang Ming's requirements, bringing related Japanese game companies and industrial companies into this industry chain, so that these companies can have something to eat, and it will not disrupt the entire game market.
In addition, Akio Nakanishi and the members of the inspection team continued to find some potential game talents to work at the headquarters of Xiangjiang Empire Game Company.
As for comics.
Overall, the development of Japanese comics is becoming more and more mature.
From the submission of comics by comic authors, to comic editors, comic studios or comic publishers, to the publication and listing of comics, adaptation into graphic novels, animations, derivatives, etc.
When Lan Shaojun was in Xiangjiang, she never thought about it so much. Now that she came to Dongyang, she really realized that this has gradually formed a huge comic-related industry chain.
Even though A2D companies can now provide a steady stream of excellent comics, they are still not as good as Toyo when it comes to turning them into derivatives.
Lan Shaojun referred to the market in Japan. She believed that in addition to poaching some talents to Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang should also focus on cultivating its own talents.
Including comics, animation, voice actors, etc.
Even establish their own related universities.
For example, Xiangjiang Academy of Fine Arts.
This morning.
When Lan Shaojun submitted her feedback information and suggestions from the market to Yang Ming, Yang Ming found that Lan Shaojun's suggestions were still very good.
Like Xu Qingsheng now, he purchased a local Japanese TV station in advance a long time ago. However, this local Oriental TV station has a limited audience, and its radiation and influence are limited.
This also limits the development of this TV station.
Nowadays, the excellent comics of ACG Company cannot be transformed from comics into animation. Naturally, they cannot be turned into more derivatives and appear on the market.
Now Lan Shaojun's suggestion is that ACG Company cooperates with the five major private TV stations in Japan, or with one of the TV stations alone, to jointly adapt comics into animation and show them on these TV stations.
However, how to cooperate with these TV stations requires negotiation between both parties.
In other words, Yang Ming wanted to promote his comics in Japan by acquiring local TV stations in Japan. In fact, this approach has failed and he had to cooperate with the five major private TV stations in Japan.
Such as Toyo TV, TBS, TV Asahi, Fuji TV, TV Tokyo, etc. Historically, the cooperation between these five major TV stations and the three major Toyo publishers in comic adaptation has been very successful.
In other words, it is probably impossible for 2D Company to win over the Japanese comic market without even giving them a piece of the pie.
Yang Ming thought of Nintendo's strategic alliance.
He suddenly thought, if games are feasible, why not comics?
Historically, Nintendo's movies with "Super Mario" as the protagonist have become popular across the United States and generated a lot of profits for the movie company.
A large number of magazines, books, audio and video products, even notebooks, T-shirts, teacups, cereals, jigsaw puzzles, dolls, wallpapers, etc. are all branded with the protagonist of Nintendo games.
Many TV programs and video programs use Nintendo games as content or background.
Among the children's television programs in China, the number of cartoons based on Nintendo's game rules or with its protagonists as the background far exceeds any other children's television program.
In other words, if Yang Ming uses game strategies to deal with other Japanese game industries, he can also use this method in the comic industry.
After Yang Ming wants to exclude Kodansha, Shogakukan, and Shueisha, he can cooperate with companies related to the comics industry and even publishing houses, including major Japanese TV stations.
These companies follow the soup, and the Imperial Group and the Second Dimension Company eat the meat.
Over time, a comic-related industry chain will be formed, dominated by two-dimensional companies.
Even if those companies know that there is a problem, they can't do anything about it, because now the two-dimensional company can continuously provide the best comic products.
At the beginning, Yang Ming wanted to make Xiangjiang the comic book capital of the world. However, the comic market in Xiangjiang is limited. The highest sales volume of Xiangjiang's own comic weekly was 200,000 copies.
On the Toyo side, sales exceeded 10 million copies, which is simply incomparable.
As for domestic cooperation, Yang Ming has also considered domestic cooperation. Currently, there are no conditions for this in China, and cooperation may not be possible until the 1990s.
Games, comics, and even derivatives of games and comics, etc. Isn’t this the goal of building ACG into the world’s largest comprehensive entertainment company?
Yang Ming found that it was indeed possible.
From beginning to end, Yang Ming still wanted to put the most important things in his base camp, Xiangjiang.
In addition to comics inspection and feedback.
Today, executives from Xiangjiang Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Company were shocked when they inspected related semiconductor companies in Japan.
On the one hand, in addition to introducing technology and talents in this area from Japan, they also feel that Xiangjiang still needs to cultivate more talents on its own.
In other words, they believe that boss Sir Yang's ability to lay out the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park and the Xiangjiang Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Company in advance is actually beyond the imagination of many people.
. . .
1981 4 Month 25 Day.
Setagaya Villa.
Except for Akio Nakanishi, Xu Qingsheng, Lan Shaojun and others, the main leaders of this inspection team are all here.
In the past three months, my study tour in Japan has been really fruitful.
Except for Xu Qingsheng, who knew that his boss had asked him to enter the real estate industry in Dongyang, the others had been busy with their own affairs during this period.
"Boss, except for Nintendo, all other Japanese game companies have joined our game alliance." Akio Nakanishi said.
"Boss, I have been digging for Miyamoto Shigeru for a long time, but I haven't found him yet. In addition, Nintendo's Hiroshi Yamauchi has been proposing to join our game alliance, but our request for Yokoi Gunpei to join our Empire Games Company was rejected by Yamauchi. Pu refused." Xu Qingsheng said from the side.
From Yang Ming's point of view, whether or not Shigeru Miyamoto is poached now is of little significance to him. He just doesn't want to bring Nintendo in. That is a very euphemistic reason for rejection.
It would be terrifying if Hiroshi Yamauchi was really willing to give up Shigeru Miyamoto and Gunpei Yokoi.
This kind of person may really do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
