Chapter 332 Yang Ming Wants to Build an Entertainment Empire!
Yang Ming is not only the boss of Empire Group, but also the provider of the outline and main line of the comics. In the eyes of these Japanese cartoonists, which image is more suitable for the comics provided by Yang Ming?
It depends on Mr. Yang's opinion.
When Yang Ming arrived, Lan Shaojun and Yang Ming mentioned this matter.
Yang Ming was just about to take a look.
When he came to the "Dragon Group" comic creation team, fifty people were here at this time.
After Yang Ming and others arrived, they stopped discussing in Japanese.
"Show me all the character images you created."
Except for the team leader Goto Takashi, almost everyone created the image of the character of Sun Wukong.
Yang Ming looked carefully, some fat, some thin, some cute, and all kinds of them.
However, there are teenagers and adults in the character of Sun Wukong.
Among them, "Searching for Dragon Ball" is the beginning and a classic, mainly about the young Sun Wukong.
Now, Yang Ming took it and read it all.
Except for a few characters that meet his mind, the others are far from it.
He suddenly understood why these cartoonists would starve to death if they were in Japan.
"Just choose this one! However, it needs to be slightly modified."
Yang Ming picked a picture that was almost the same as the image of the young Sun Wukong by Toriyama Akira, so it would be better to modify it.
The cartoonist who found out that he was selected by Mr. Yang was also very happy.
Yang Ming selected the remaining characters one by one.
"Goto Takashi, if you encounter this situation in the future and can't solve it, have someone send it to me immediately."
"Yes, Mr. Yang."
There is no problem with these character images, so there is no problem with the others.
For example, "Searching for Dragon Ball", it takes Akira Toriyama a long time to create it by one person, think about it, and draw it.
Now that so many people are based on the outline and storyline provided by Yang Ming, there is actually no difficulty at all. As long as the main line and the branch line are drawn, there 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 comic, which is much more difficult.
With fewer people, because "Detective Conan" is mainly composed of female cartoonists, it can basically solve the problem.
When Yang Ming read it, he found that the content was still very good.
"Not bad, let's proceed in this way, and strive to complete the content of the first volume within half a month, and then release it in Japan."
. . .
February 22, 1979.
Thursday.
17:45 in the afternoon.
A large passenger plane that flew directly from Japan's Haneda Airport to Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport landed safely at Kai Tak Airport.
This was the first time Xu Qingsheng returned to Hong Kong since he was assigned to work in Japan last year.
Now seeing the prosperous Kai Tak Airport, he knew that Hong Kong was still developing very fast.
When Xu Qingsheng came out of the airport, someone was already there to greet him.
"Mr. Xu, the boss is waiting for you at the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa."
"Thank you."
Since the boss, Mr. Yang, was able to send someone to pick him up in person, Xu Qingsheng knew that the boss still valued him very much.
Along the way, Xu Qingsheng looked outside. Less than a year after going to Japan, he still clearly felt the changes in Hong Kong.
Leaving Kai Tak Airport, passing through the Hung Hom Tunnel, and then going to Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
When Xu Qingsheng arrived at 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 off the car. It felt like he hadn't seen him for a year. This Xu Qingsheng looked a bit like a Japanese.
In fact, many times, many people go to Japan and it is really easy to assimilate. Including food, use, clothing, etc., the longer the time, the easier it is to assimilate.
"Xu Qingsheng, you look a bit like a Japanese in this outfit."
"Boss, this is also forced, that's how they dress over there."
Xu Qingsheng also didn't want others to look at him with other eyes.
"You've worked hard during this period."
"Boss, I should."
In order to wait for Xu Qingsheng to come over for dinner, dinner time was deliberately 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.
Xu Qingsheng talked about the situation in Dongyang in detail.
It must be said that Dongyang has a great influence on modernization, whether it is electrical appliances, electronic products, or automobiles, semiconductors, etc.
"Boss, at the end of last year, the old man in China visited Dongyang, and the influence was still very large at that time. However, I didn't get to see him."
At that time, the old man's schedule in Dongyang was very tight.
The old man didn't expect that the Empire Group already had its own industry in Dongyang.
Yang Ming nodded.
Xu Qingsheng talked about the current situation of Empire Games in Dongyang. It can be said that the sales volume is very good. In addition to a part of it being sold to individual players, many are sold to the owners of those game halls.
Because of the influence of the Dongyang pinball machine culture, Dongyang game halls have always been very popular, and it was difficult to have a good arcade in the past.
However, since the appearance of "Space Invaders" and "Pac-Man" by Empire Games, they have been deeply loved by Japanese game players and have been introduced in large numbers into Japanese game halls.
The Toyo arcades are basically controlled by some black societies, including the arcades in Akihabara, which are all monopolized by those societies.
Those arcades also made a lot of money. Many arcades may make back their investment in three to four months, and the rest is pure profit. So now these arcades also hope that Empire Games can produce better game consoles, so that they can also eat meat and drink soup.
"This time I let you come back, I am going to take the two works that our two-dimensional company's comic studio has created to the Toyo market."
Yang Ming looked at Xu Qingsheng and said.
Some time ago.
Xu Qingsheng has acquired Toyo comic companies, Toyo comic publishing houses, and even controlled a Toyo local TV station.
All this is to prepare for the listing of Yang Ming's comic industry.
For Yang Ming, in terms of comic sales, he does not have high requirements. He just wants to create a valuable comic IP and make further plans for his entertainment empire in the future.
"Boss, are the comics here?"
"Take a look first."
Yang Ming took out the first volume of "Dragon Ball" and "Detective Conan". When Xu Qingsheng took it to look at it, he felt that it had the style and flavor of Japanese comics.
This was originally created by those Japanese cartoonists collectively according to the outline he gave.
"Boss, this comic is very good. I think it will definitely be popular in the Japanese comics industry."
"This is just the most basic. First, publish comic books and comic weekly through comic publishers, and then find suitable animation talents to shoot and broadcast on TV."
"Boss, won't it be listed in Hong Kong?"
"Hong Kong has a small population. Let's see the market reaction in Japan first. If possible, then introduce it to Hong Kong or adapt it into Hong Kong comics."
