Dark Horse Comics Company.
General Manager Zhang Tianxi said to Liangtian Jianichi with a smile: Sorry, Mr. Liangtian, Mr. Kang does not allow any modifications to the place name and personal name of "Crayon Shin-chief".
Kenichi Liangda sighed: The reason why Shueisha asked for publication was to change it to Japanese place names and people's names was to allow "Crayon Shin-chief" to better integrate into the Japanese market, which can increase the sales of comics and is beneficial to both parties.
Zhang Tianxi still smiled consistently: I know what Mr. Liangtian said, but I can't make decisions about this matter.
Liangtian Jianyi said: Since that's the case, let's continue to talk about other things.I hope Shueisha can buy out the Japanese copyright of "Crayon Shin-chief", which will be more conducive to promotion and operation in Japan.
The smile on Zhang Tianxi's face never changed, and he said with a smile: Mr. Liangtian, I said yesterday that buying out is definitely not possible.
Liangtian Jianyi said: I hope Manager Zhang can think about it again.
Zhang Tianxi smiled and before he could speak, his secretary suddenly pushed the door open and said: Manager, Mr. Ye Yan from the Primary School Library and Mr. Aita from the StudiDeen Company are here.
go out!Didn't you see me meeting?He came in without knocking on the door. What a moral character. Zhang Tianxi gave a lesson to the secretary, and then turned to Liangtian Jianichi with a smile. Mr. Liangtian, I'm so sorry, my secretary is not very sensible.
Liangtian Jian's face became a little unnatural when he heard the words "Elementary School Pavilion".
More than 20 years later, three comic companies, Jiyingshe, Primary School Pavilion and Baiquanshe, joined together to form a Yiqiao Publishing Group, but at this time they were still independent and fooled the competition.
Moreover, in terms of origin, the primary school museum has the longest history. Baiquan Club was independent from ShueiShe more than ten years ago, while ShueiShe was independent from the primary school museum decades ago.
Liangda Kenichi said: Manager Zhang, our Shueisha "Weekly Young JUMP" is the largest comic magazine in Japan, with a circulation of 5.16 million copies in the previous issue.As long as "The Journey of Ethereal" or "Shin Shin-chan" is serialized in this magazine for several issues, it will become famous and will make all Japanese comic fans know.
Zhang Tianxi smiled and said: However, Jiyingshe's readers are mainly middle school students, and the primary school library is for primary school students. I'm afraid the primary school library is more suitable for "Crayon Shin-chan".
But Shueisha is more suitable for "The Journey of Ethereal", isn't it?
Liangtian Jianyi said.
In fact, his main purpose of coming to Hong Kong was not just for "Crayon Shin-chan", but also for "The Journey of Ethereal".
For Shueisha, the magnificent fantasy of "The Ethereal Journey" is the most important. The book has been published in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia, causing a lot of sensation, which has attracted Shueisha's attention.
As for "Crayon Shin-chan", it was unexpected that Liangda Jianichi only learned about it after he came to Hong Kong.
Currently, the most popular fantasy novel in Japan is "The Legend of the Galaxy". Just a while ago, its author Yoshiki Tanaka wanted to comic "The Legend of the Galaxy", and the partner has already agreed that it is Tokuma Bookstore and Primary School Pavilion.
In order to meet the challenge, Shueisha looked for super fantasy comics everywhere, and "The Journey of Ethereal" suddenly caught the eyes of Shueisha's senior executives.
Zhang Tianxi smiled and said: Shueisha is indeed suitable for this type of fantasy comic. The "Dragon Ball" of the Kyoto is selling very popular now.
Speaking of "Dragon Ball", Liangda Jianichi was proud. He said: If your company was willing to hand over "Crayon Shin-chief" and "The Journey of Ethereal" to Shueisha for operation, it would definitely achieve the best results, and the royalties and royalties were provided with the treatment of famous artists.
Zhang Tianxi is still smiling: The serialization of the two comics can be handed over to your company, but for the release of a single book, Heima Comics Company will directly contact the Japanese publisher.
That's impossible!Liangda Kenichi immediately refused, and the release of single-line books of popular comics was an important profitable project of Shueisha.
Then there is nothing to talk about.Zhang Tianxi smiled.
According to Liangda Jianichi, Heima Comics Company could only earn a weekly serial royalty and a little single-book royalty, and the big one was taken to Shueisha.
If it were the past, ShueiShe wanted to buy Hong Kong comics, then Hong Kong comic companies would be willing to give it to you for free. As long as they can become famous in Japan, they can also use this as a gimmick to increase Hong Kong's sales.
But does Kang Jianfei care about that little profit?
Obviously impossible.
Liangtian Jianyi persuaded him for a while, but Zhang Tianxi did not give in at all. He became quite dissatisfied and felt that the Black Horse Comics Company was too ignorant. The cooperation from Shueisha was pushed and four obstacles were pushed, which was simply unreasonable.
Since that's the case, Shueisha had to give up.Liangda Jianichi said that Jiyingshe now has "Dragon Ball" and "Oolong Police Station" stores, so it's really not necessary to buy "Piaomiao Journey".
Shortly after Liangtian Jian left, the secretary brought Ye Yanguzhi and Xiangtianliang in.
Please sit down for two.Zhang Tianxi said.
Ye Yanguzhi only fell in love with "Crayon Shin-chi" and was not very interested in "The Ethereal Journey". After shook hands with Zhang Tianxi, he said: Manager Zhang, the Primary School Library is very interested in your company's "Crayon Shin-chi" and hopes we can cooperate.
Zhang Tianxi asked: What kind of cooperation method?
Ye Yanguzhi said: First, it was serialized in "Weekly Young SUNDAY", and then the Primary School Club jointly published a single copy of "Crayon Shin-chief" with Tokuma Bookstore. Finally, it cooperated with StudiDeen to produce cartoons, which can definitely tap the potential of this comic to the extreme.
Akada Ryo took the opportunity to speak: Yes, StudiDeen is the company that produced "Doraemon". "Doraemon" is currently popular in Taiwan and will be broadcast in Hong Kong next month.
Dingling...
Zhang Tianxi was about to speak when suddenly the phone rang on his desk. He apologized and said: Sorry, I'll answer the phone first.
Please!Ye Yanguzhi said.
Zhang Tianxi answered the phone: Hello, Hei Horse Comics Company.
Kang Jianfei's voice came from the phone: I am Kang Jianfei, are you discussing conditions with the Japanese comic company now?I pushed them all, and I have found a partner here.
Already have partners?Ah, OK.Zhang Tianxi was stunned for a moment and immediately agreed. He hung up the phone and said to Ye Yanguzhi and Akada Liang, "Sorry, we have found a Japanese partner."
Ye Yanguzhi frowned and asked: Is it Shueisha?
Zhang Tianxi smiled and said: Sorry, the trade secret.
At this moment, Kang Jianfei was smiling at a middle-aged man in the office and said: Mr. Kakugawa, why don’t you go and have a cup of afternoon tea in Hong Kong?
Very happy.The short and thin middle-aged man said in fluent Chinese.
This thin man is Haruki Kakugawa, the president of Kakugawa Bookstore. He is a famous prodigal son in Japan and a well-known writer and director.
The most profitable film company in Japan today is the Kakugawa Film in Haruki Kakugawa, and the several movies he made himself are also considered to be excellent by Japanese audiences.
The comic partner Kang Jianfei mentioned is the Kakugawa Manga Company, which Haruki Kakugawa is about to be established, and the release of the comic single-line version will also be handed over to Kakugawa Bookstore for operation.
Of course, Haruki Kakugawa came to buy comics. This time he accompanied his wife to travel to Hong Kong and visited the famous international director Kang Jianfei.
DreamWorks is now the most profitable film company in Hong Kong, while Kadokawa Film is the most profitable film company in Japan. The two companies have a lot of room for cooperation.
In other words, Haruki Kakugawa saw Matsutake Movie releases DreamWorks movies and made a big profit in the box office, and wanted to get a shot at the business.
Peninsula Teahouse.
Kang Jianfei drank black tea and exclaimed: I didn’t expect Mr. Kakugawa to speak so well in Mandarin.
Haruki Kakugawa smiled and said: The major I studied in college is literature, and understanding Chinese characters is just the foundation. If you want to more directly understand the charm of ancient Chinese poetry, you need to learn to speak Chinese.Although I have been left behind for many years, I can still recite dozens of Tang poems and Song lyrics.
Kang Jianfei smiled self-deprecatingly: That's really shameful. I probably can't recite more than 10 songs in full. Most of them have to read the previous sentence before they can recall the next sentence.
People carry people in the flower sedan chair, Kadokawa Haruki praised: Talent is not a rote poem, I have studied most of Mr. Kang’s movies.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Mr. Kakugawa praised it. Compared with your "Love Story", mine can only be regarded as commercial films.
Kang Jianfei's words are not flattery. "The Story of Love" directed by Haruki Kakugawa won the Japanese Film Academy Award two years ago, and later it was a classic movie in the minds of a generation of Japanese.
Actually, I have always wanted to cooperate with DreamWorks. Although this time I came to Hong Kong for a trip, I still hope to invite Miss Brigitte Lin to film in Japan.Kadokawa Haruki said.
Haruki Kakugawa is very interesting. When he just took over Kakugawa Bookstore, he bought the copyright of the original novel of the Western movie sold in Japan and distributed it. As a result, each book sold well.
Then he made Japanese novels into movies, and the movies were sold at the same time, and the result was that both novels and movies made a lot of money.
After consolidating the status of Kakugawa Movie in the Japanese film industry, Haruki Kakugawa began to collect best-selling books around the world, and then re-issue them in small opening books, which is the so-called library strategy.
Kadokawa Bookstore's library strategy has now been promoted to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the comics "Crayon Shin-chief" and "Ethereal Journey" are both one of their library strategy contents.
Haruki Kakugawa himself is also willing to cooperate with China. For example, Zhang Yimou's "Jupito" a few years later, Kakugawa's films have been invested in it.
General Manager Zhang Tianxi said to Liangtian Jianichi with a smile: Sorry, Mr. Liangtian, Mr. Kang does not allow any modifications to the place name and personal name of "Crayon Shin-chief".
Kenichi Liangda sighed: The reason why Shueisha asked for publication was to change it to Japanese place names and people's names was to allow "Crayon Shin-chief" to better integrate into the Japanese market, which can increase the sales of comics and is beneficial to both parties.
