Chapter 329: "Dragon Ball" And "Detective Conan" Were Mentioned by Yang Ming
Chapter 329: "Dragon Ball" and "Detective Conan" were brought out by Yang Ming in advance!
Nishikado Tomohiro was originally one of the three giants of Taito Co., Ltd.
After joining the Empire Group, he is now the highest-ranking and most influential management of Empire Games in the East.
Yang Ming greeted the 80 Oriental comic talents sitting there, and Nishikado Tomohiro translated for him.
"Welcome to Hong Kong for development, I think you will not be disappointed."
These are all Oriental comic talents. In addition to liking to draw comics themselves, they also like to read other people's comics more often.
However, for them, they never thought that comics could also support themselves or even their families.
Nowadays, the salary and benefits given by the two-dimensional company are enough to support themselves and even their families.
At 18:30 in the evening.
Yang Ming decided to entertain them in the luxury restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel.
This time, they were entertained by the seafood buffet here.
It was particularly good to enjoy a sumptuous dinner in the luxury restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel and enjoy the beautiful night view of Victoria Harbour outside.
The current Peninsula Hotel is actually very close to Victoria Harbour, even not far from the seaside.
Later, Hong Kong continued to reclaim land, resulting in the addition of the Hong Kong Cultural Center, Hong Kong Art Museum, and even the Hong Kong Space Museum in front of the Hong Kong Peninsula Hotel.
Even so, the Hong Kong Peninsula Hotel now has a clear view of the outside scenery.
Dinner.
From 18:30 to 20:30.
After dinner.
Yang Ming told them that they would be arranged to work and live in Clearwater Bay.
Clearwater Bay belongs to Sai Kung, and the environment there is beautiful. In addition to villas and other luxury houses, it is also close to the seaside.
Lin Xiuzhi finally decided to use Clearwater Bay as the place where these Japanese cartoonists work and stay. It is a bit far from here to Clearwater Bay, but Yang Ming should not go there often.
"You can still rest at the Peninsula Hotel tonight. Tomorrow morning, I will arrange for someone to send you to Clearwater Bay. In the morning, you will adapt to your work and accommodation. In the afternoon, I will go to talk to you about work."
Yang Ming, Nishikaku Tomohiro, Zhou Kaixuan, and Lin Xiuzhi left here.
For these 80 comic talents, they suddenly felt that Mr. Yang, a Chinese capitalist, seemed to be very good to them.
. . .
Yang Ming returned to the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa.
After greeting his parents, Yang Ming went upstairs and took a bath with the help of Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong.
Return to the study.
He decided to take out the outline content and story of the "Dragon Ball" comics tomorrow as the first work of the two-dimensional company.
Historically, "Dragon Ball" is the representative work of Akira Toriyama, a famous Japanese cartoonist.
The work was made into a TV animation and broadcast on Fuji TV in Japan. It also spawned theatrical animation, Hollywood movies, and many peripheral products and game software.
In 1995, the circulation of the magazine "Weekly Shonen Jump" serializing the comic reached 6.53 million copies, setting a record. The cumulative circulation of this work, including the complete version of Dragon Ball, exceeded 160 million copies in Japan, the cumulative circulation of the complete version was 20 million copies, and the cumulative circulation worldwide exceeded 250 million copies.
The value brought by this comic is inestimable.
Yang Ming had seen it in his previous life and was deeply impressed.
He still remembers the story of Dragon Ball very clearly.
The most important thing is that this comic was first officially published by Akira Toriyama in 1984, which means that even if it was earlier, it would not have appeared.
Now Yang Ming has taken it out five years in advance, and it is his work.
In addition to "Dragon Ball", Yang Ming also took out "Detective Conan".
"Detective Conan" has a huge influence in the comics industry in Japan and even the world, and is also the representative work of the famous Japanese cartoonist Gosho Aoyama. In 1993, Gosho Aoyama spent two weeks conceiving Conan's story and image. He took out Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" and studied it repeatedly, and named the protagonist "Conan".
In January 1994, Gosho Aoyama created the first issue of the "Detective Conan" comics, which was published in the comic magazine "Weekly Shonen Sunday".
Since then, this detective reasoning comic has become popular in Japan and even in the global comics industry, bringing inestimable value.
Now, Yang Ming is going to try these two comics first.
Yang Ming provides the outline and storyline of the comics, but the specific content of the comics still needs to be created by these cartoonists.
The copyright of the comics belongs to the Second Dimension Company and Yang Ming.
Things like this have long existed in the comics industry in Japan, especially in the 1980s and 1990s. Many so-called masterpieces of famous cartoonists were actually just a name. The real creators were a group of cartoonists in the studio. They discussed and created together, and the publishing time was faster and the comics they made were more perfect.
At that level, it was almost the era of industrial comics, which belonged to the creation of assembly lines, which also promoted the development of comics in Japan.
"Master, what did you write?" Ah Zhu asked curiously.
"Comic story outline."
Comics?
Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong also like to read comics, such as "Old Master Q" broadcasted by Hong Kong TV.
It is said that the comic book "Old Master Q" in Hong Kong was also created by stealing other people's works.
Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong usually like to read it. Unexpectedly, Young Master Yang can also create comics.
"Master, you can also create comics?"
"I am not good at drawing, but I can still tell stories."
Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong saw the story content of "Dragon Ball".
The young boy Sun Wukong, who lives alone in the mountains, meets Bulma, a female scientist who collects seven dragon balls. Bulma takes Goku on a journey to find the seven dragon balls in order to get the four-star ball owned by Goku.
Sun Wukong?
Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong know that it is Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, but they don't know the other characters at all.
Yang Ming knows that in history, this is actually the initial stage of Akira Toriyama adopting the elements of "Journey to the West". The idea of "collecting beads" is borrowed from the work "Nan So Ri Mi Hakkenden", but the eight beads in the Hakkenden are changed to seven.
The title is inspired by Bruce Lee's movie "Enter the Dragon".
This fixed the initial framework of the work.
Originally, the plot was planned to be developed according to Akira Toriyama's version of "Journey to the West", but the editor-in-chief Kazuhiko Torishima thought that "this would be no different from Journey to the West itself" and the response was relatively cold.
Therefore, modern style clothing was added to the second draft, and the third draft was very similar to the real "Dragon Ball". In the end, only the name and character design of the protagonist in Journey to the West, as well as several early plots and items were retained.
Yang Ming did not change much based on Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball". The historical "Dragon Ball" has been recognized by the market.
If you want to change it, you can discuss with those cartoonists to see what more original additions will be more exciting.
