Chapter 1673 The “Painting” Returns to Its Original Owner
The relationship between Yin Jun and Suzuki Toshio is very good.
As the editor-in-chief of "Kirin Weekly" and a very responsible person, Toshio Suzuki often goes to the headquarters of "Kirin Weekly" to seek advice, and often stays there for several days.
Whenever Yin Jun meets him, he will treat him to a meal and talk about the current situation and development direction of Japan's comic industry.
Although Suzuki Toshio knew that this was because Japan's animation market was the largest in the world and the most profitable sales place for "Kirin Weekly", Yin Jun's polite and kind attitude still made him heartbroken.
Moreover, what Yin Jun said is very reasonable. He is very familiar with the entire comic and animation industry chain in Japan. This is probably related to the emphasis he places on intelligence collection.
So no wonder "Qilin Weekly" sells so well in Japan, because Yin Jun already knows Japanese preferences very well!
If Yin Jun was just a famous genius a few years ago, then Yin Jun now is almost among the top three super rich people in Japan.
Such a big shot still treats himself the same as before, without any arrogance. Suzuki Toshio can certainly feel it.
It’s really rare to see people who have achieved such a great career and still maintain their true intentions.
So after getting the creative script this time, Toshio Suzuki called Yin Jun specifically to express his doubts.
"Why didn't you get such a good story to be serialized in Kirin Weekly, but handed it over to us?" As the editor-in-chief of Kirin Weekly, Toshio Suzuki asked straightforwardly.
He won't believe that Yin Jun has no energy to make this comic.
Because even for a super immortal classic like "Slam Dunk", it was Yin Jun who gave the idea, story and character settings, and then handed them over to the screenwriters and artists of Qilin Culture.
These screenwriters and artists, who have been tempered for four to five years, are already very familiar with understanding Yin Jun's story and meaning.
As for the market, they can accurately grasp the minds of readers and create comics that meet market expectations.
The story given by Yin Jun is obviously a very good and interesting story.
If it were listed in "Qilin Weekly", I wouldn't dare say it surpasses "Ke Lan", "Slam Dunk", "Saint Seiya" and other classics, but it is not impossible to become a top-notch comic.
How could Yin Jun be willing to take out such a big piece of fat?
Even if Yin Jun is willing to take it out, will Kirin Culture Headquarters be willing to give it up?
It was not drawn to a Chinese cartoonist, but to a slightly famous cartoonist in Japan. What is the reason for this?
Judging from Suzuki Toshio's understanding of Yin Jun, although this genius is kind and willing to help others, he is a person with strong feelings for his family and country.
For the sake of his motherland, Yin Jun never stopped fighting with others in Xiangjiang, and he never stopped suppressing those who thought differently from him.
As long as this aspect is involved, the genius will immediately turn into a cruel and cold tyrant, beating others into a state of confusion.
The same goes for collaboration.
For example, in animation production.
It is obvious that Toei Animation has one of the best production standards and the best quality in Asia, but Yin Jun still chose to let the Shanghai Animation Film Studio in the Mainland produce half of the animation.
Even though the artists and animators there were outdated, Yin Jun didn't care and sent them directly to Japan and the United States to study.
Even though the various equipment there were incomplete and very crude, Yin Jun simply donated the latest equipment there without any expense.
In this case, even if Yin Jun wants a cartoonist from another company to draw it, he can definitely find a cartoonist from the Shanghai Art Film Studio in mainland China!
There is also a tradition of comics there!
Something was obviously wrong, so Suzuki Toshio naturally wanted to ask clearly before talking.
Based on his relationship with Yin Jun and his understanding of Yin Jun, he believed that Yin Jun would not hide anything.
Although Toshio Suzuki is about to take charge of an animation studio and will no longer be in charge of "Kirin Half Monthly", Yin Jun will never ignore it.
Besides, this animation production studio is also fully invested by Yin Jun, with an initial investment of 1 billion yen, so Suzuki Toshio was not exiled, but was entrusted with important responsibilities.
When Suzuki Toshio asked, Yin Jun really didn't hide anything, "Mr. Suzuki, the first is because I think this cartoonist's style is very suitable for my story. The second is because Japan is now the world's largest In the comics market, if my comics dominate the market, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble.
Therefore, I should support more Japanese cartoonists. Even if they only cooperate with me, it will be more acceptable in name. Whether you believe it or not, in the comics industry, heroes always emerge in large numbers. I look forward to the day when other people’s comics can surpass mine and become the number one in the world. "
Suzuki Toshio smiled bitterly when he heard this, "It's a good idea to support newcomers, but if anyone can surpass you, at least before I die, I will definitely be invisible!"
His words were very serious and exclamatory, and they were absolutely sincere, without the slightest bit of falsehood or flattery.
Yin Jun's worry cannot be said to be excessive and unnecessary.
Although Japanese comic fans admire and like Yin Jun's comics very much, if they are instigated by someone with good intentions for various reasons, it will still cause some trouble.
This is why Yin Jun insists on cooperating with Tokuma Bookstore to let Tokuma Bookstore develop and grow.
This is also the reason why Yin Jun would rather separate his interests and tie himself up with the Asahi Group.
The stronger your partner is, the more your interests will be guaranteed.
Apart from anything else, the animation industry, even in an Internet society like 2020, has not collapsed in Japan. At most, it has only weakened a lot. This is worthy of Yin Jun's investment.
The market of developed countries with a population of more than 100 million cannot be discarded under any circumstances.
One of the reasons why Suzuki Toshio admires Yin Jun very much is because of Yin Jun's willingness.
He is willing to share his huge profits with others, which can unite many people.
Including what Yin Jun said, letting Japanese cartoonists draw his creative scripts is also a way of sharing interests.
But from another perspective, Yin Jun's last words were too modest.
Even if someone else can publish a shocking comic, even if he is so talented that he can publish two equally top-notch comics, it is absolutely impossible for him to produce a third one.
This is a summary of what people have said about the comics industry over the past few decades.
Generally speaking, a cartoonist's most outstanding cartoon will definitely only have one cartoon, or at most two.
The remaining works are either repeating their own classics, or they are slowly falling silent amid constant innovation, until they retire.
But Yin Jun is different!
It started with 13 top-notch and top-notch comics. Over the past three or four years, three comics have been added every year, and they are all diverse, all-encompassing, and of all types.
It’s not scary to have various types. What’s scary is that Yin Jun can do extremely well in any category!
Sports, fighting, adventure, hilarious, detective work...etc., which one doesn't have a top-notch classic?
If we use a popular saying in the Mainland in later generations, Yin Jun stood directly at the end of victory at the beginning. How can you compare with others?
So this summary is invalid for Yin Jun.
But for other writers, it still works.
Therefore, Suzuki Toshio said without hesitation that he would definitely not be able to see it before he died.
In any case, Suzuki Toshio understood what Yin Jun meant by sending the comic script, so today he called over this young man who Yin Jun valued very much, and solemnly handed over Yin Jun's script settings to him.
"Araki-kun, this script is one of the best comic ideas I have ever seen. Please treat it well and don't live up to Mr. Yin Jun's expectations of you." Suzuki Toshio said sternly.
"yes!"
Toshiyuki Araki also took over the script and setting book with both hands solemnly, "I will definitely work hard and won't let Mr. Yin Jun and Editor-in-Chief Suzuki down!!"
After taking Yin Jun's script settings, Toshiyuki Araki's hands were trembling.
I looked down at the name, "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"...
Toshiyuki Araki can still guess the meaning of these Chinese characters. After all, Chinese characters and Japanese characters have basically the same meaning.
It’s a story about adventure!
Araki Toshiyuki was suddenly very excited and wanted to open it and take a look right away.
This excited young man must not have known that this work was the most famous one in his life and would remain with him throughout his life.
However, the name under which he published this work was not his current pen name Toshiyuki Araki, but a different name.
called
Araki Hirohiko!
Yes!
He is Hirohiko Araki, one of the top ten cartoonists in Japan.
"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" made him famous in Japan and at the same time received very high praise.
In this respect, he is very similar to another top ten manga artist - Masami Kurumada.
Both of them conquered the world with one comic, and it was also the same comic that made them famous in the history of comics.
The difference is that Masami Kurumada's comics are full of justice and friendship, while Hirohiko Araki's comics are very vicious and full of incredible things.
Also because this comic did not conform to mainstream social concepts, and later on, it also contained many dark things, so for a long time, it was the same underrated work as "Death".
However, the success of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" is also obvious to all.
The most amazing thing about it is that Hirohiko Araki has added the superpowers of "stand-ins" to the characters in it.
This kind of "stand-in" was later used in many comic works, and they were all brilliant.
With this, Araki Hirohiko is a figure who belongs to the category of originator.
Moreover, Hirohiko Araki has a great advantage. He has been painting "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" for decades, spanning hundreds of years. Except for a period of confusion in the middle, the overall structure has not collapsed!
This is amazing!
Many cartoonists don't know how to draw halfway through the drawing, and the storyline becomes a complete mess, so they end it in a hurry, which is commonly known as a bad ending.
Araki Hirohiko was able to draw for thirty years and still stay within his own framework, and he could still draw so vividly and interestingly. I am afraid that only the three major later migrant manga authors can compare with him.
Yin Jun didn't have time to paint "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" for thirty years.
In addition, everything he told Toshio Suzuki was true, so he simply gave one to Hirohiko Araki to see the effect.
Anyway, he still has twenty or thirty classic comics in his hand, so he is not afraid of running out.
Yin Jun will definitely not show the most classic ones to others, such as "Naruto", "One Piece", "Gintama", "Attack on Titan", etc. These are definitely for others. "Qilin Weekly" has contributed every bit of its strength.
Only second-rate works will be produced.
Besides, although Hirohiko Araki is a cartoonist, the creativity and copyright of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" still belong to Yin Jun.
Yin Jun still ate the biggest piece of cake. He only gave a little benefit to Hirohiko Araki, and it also made him grateful, so what's wrong with that?
More importantly, it is also a release of attitude.
Yin Jun takes this opportunity to tell cartoonists that in the future you can also draw my scripts, just like the screenwriters of Qilin Culture did.
Regardless of whether someone can get Yin Jun's script in the end, at least Yin Jun has this carrot hanging in front of him, which is somewhat of an incentive for these cartoonists!
To be able to write the work of the King of Comics is a great honor no matter what!
