356. Who Says China Has No Animation

"What good-looking animation can China produce?" The ignorant in the city are fearless. As a toy dealer, and having dealt with Japanese animation companies for a long time, he does not understand the origin of Chinese animation and Japanese animation.

"The ignorant are fearless." Su Butong sneered: "When China produced the first animation "Princess Iron Fan", Japan did not know how to make animations, and it was this "Princess Iron Fan" that made the god of Japanese comics

Mr. Osamu Tezuka decided to join the animation industry. I’m afraid you don’t know these historical stories, right?”

"Impossible, how could our manga god join the animation industry because of China Animation? Are you talking nonsense?" Jonouchi naturally didn't believe it.

Subbutong did not expect Jonouchi Nobu, but instead asked Imazawa Tetsuo and Uchida Kenji with a smile: "How are you two?"

"It's a bit expensive," said Kenji Uchida.

Is a Chinese animation really so valuable? Japanese animations are currently sold at home and abroad, and I have never heard of them being sold at this price.

Su Butong saw the hesitation in the other person's eyes and said, "I arrived in Tokyo yesterday morning. Do you know where I went?"

"Where have you been?" Tetsuo Imazawa has the potential to be a popular actor.

"I went to the home of Akira Toriyama, the cartoonist who drew "Dragon Ball". He and I are good friends," Subutong said.

"Just a stinky manga artist," Jonouchi interjected.

Su Butong smiled and didn't say anything after hearing this. You're a cartoonist? Do you want to sell Dragon Ball figures? Do you want to sell toys? I'm sorry, I really won't sell them to you.

"Well, the comics he drew are pretty good. We are now planning to buy the copyright from him to make animations, but Shueisha told us that the copyright no longer belongs to them. When we asked them who bought it, they hesitated to say. It's such a cooperation.

We have been in a relationship for many years, why is this happening!" Imazawa Tetsuo said dissatisfied.

"Isn't it a coincidence? I happen to know who owns the copyright of Dragon Ball."

"Whose place is it?" Uchida Kenji became interested, and they wanted to get involved. After all, they were also concerned about this talented cartoonist. However, Arale's animation had been taken away by Toei. Now they can compete with Toriyama Akira.

If you want to cooperate, you can only start with Dragon Ball. There are still many people in their company who are chasing Dragon Ball comics.

"Far away in the horizon, yet so close in front of you." Subudong pointed to himself.

"At your place?"

"With you?" Imazawa Tetsuo and Uchida Kenji were both surprised. Because the industry had long known that the Dragon Ball copyright had been sold, but to whom it was sold has always been a mystery.

Now that the real owner is here, can he not surprise them both?

"I'm so stupid. I actually forgot that Zhan Long has a Dragon Ball game. I knew I should have asked about this!" Tetsuo Imazawa slapped his head in frustration. Now it's good, Uchida Kenji also knows.

This news will inevitably create a competitive relationship between the two companies.

"Then sell the copyright to us? Our painter has always been good at drawing Akira Toriyama's paintings."

"Our painters are also among the best in the industry."

The two people said at the same time.

"I said, let's get down to business first." Su Butong motioned to put this aside first.

"Say." The two of them had no choice but to listen to Su Butong's long words.

"I met someone at Akira Toriyama's house, guess who he is?"

"Who could it be?" Jonouchi added.

"I met Mr. Osamu Tezuka." Subbutong ignored the city and continued.

"Ah, why is he there?"

"It's a long story, but his purpose was to visit the junior Akira Toriyama." Subutong continued. "Because Mr. Tezuka had given me the Dragon War Award before, so he went to see me.

He held our hands and said to us with sincerity: Su Butong, Akira Toriyama, I will leave the future of animation in China and Japan to you."

"What is this? This is inheritance. Why would the old gentleman say such a thing to me? Because of my animation." What Su Butong said was half true and half false, but it was also fascinating.

Su Butong took out a copy of the animation and said, "Whether it's awesome or awesome, just watch it and that's it."

This conference room belonged to an animation company, so it naturally had projection equipment. Su Butong put the copy into the playback equipment and played the first two episodes for them.

The BGM of ancient Chinese style sounded, and then we got to the main topic after a background introduction...

For a long time, Tetsuo Imazawa and Kenji Uchida were immersed in the story.

“Is this the charm of China Animation?”

"The characters are so realistic. I didn't expect Huaxia Animation to be so beautiful."

Both of them sighed like this.

"Do you know who made this animation?" Su Butong asked another question.

"Who is it?" Jonouchi grew up watching Japanese animation and Disney animation, but he also knows the quality of animation.

"Mr. Osamu Tezuka's idol, the Chinese animation master who was contemporary with Osamu Tezuka, Mr. Shengte Weisheng." Su Butong used so many names just to promote his animation.

"Then why have we never heard of Mr. Sheng? We have often heard about Mr. Wan." Tetsuo Imazawa also took an animation history class.

"Because this is a great talent, but he is willing to hide his talent from others. However, many of his animations have won international awards. For example, have you ever seen animations made with Chinese ink paintings? This is what Mr. Sheng led people to make.

"." Su Butong wanted to use Mr. Sheng's name. "Such a living fossil in the animation industry. The boy animation he made cost you 100 million yen. Is it expensive? I think it's not expensive."

.This price is less than a fraction of Disney animation.”

Su Butong's words made even the city a little excited, but when he thought that this was an animation brought by Zhan Long, his interest suddenly disappeared.

"But the price of 100 million yen is still too high. Mr. Sheng's reputation is not that big in Japan after all..." Uchida Kenji was also a little embarrassed. He was really moved.

"The animation production rights of Dragon Ball are worth 400 million for this animation. We won't sell them for less than this amount." Su Butong is not in a hurry. Anyway, as the Dragon Ball comics become more popular, more companies will want to produce this animation.

"You are robbing money." Imazawa Tetsuo was a little unhappy.

"What are we talking about today? I want to buy the rights to the robot animation from you, right? Have you sold it? You have sold it. What we are talking about now is whether you want to buy the rights to my animation and Dragon Ball, no.

It's the same thing. If you don't buy it, I can go find someone else to sell it. This is called buying and selling without breaking up the friendship. You hurry up and sign the contract, I won't bother you anymore." Seeing that neither of them expressed their opinions, Su Butong retreated.

Go ahead, since you already have the copyright to Dragon Ball, you won’t have to worry about selling it as the future progresses.

"To add up the two animations, 400 million is still too much. Is 300 million okay?" Imazawa Tetsuo said.

"Deal." Recovering one-tenth of the original investment was an unexpected surprise for Su Butong, and he had originally intended to sell Longzhu to Toei. After all, the company had a deep foundation, whether it was himself or Bird

There are benefits to Shan Ming's cooperation with Toei. Although he earns less, he will use the money he earns to continue investing in Mr. Sheng and Mr. Wan's animation company.

Imazawa Tetsuo: "..."

Kenji Uchida: "..."

Su Butong, what about your moral integrity? Don’t you think you won’t sell it unless it’s 400 million? Oh, if the co-author’s price is 400 million, then you can sell it if it doesn’t sell for 300 million? Is there anyone who does this kind of business?

I don’t know why, even though he nominally earned 100 million, Imazawa Tetsuo was not happy at all.

After signing the contract with Su Butong, Su Butong caught a flight back to the capital. When Jonouchi was signing the contract with Imazawa Tetsuo and Uchida Kenji, he suddenly remembered something and said, "That's not right."

"What's wrong?" the two people asked.

"I signed an 800 million contract for you, and then he took away 300 million? In other words, the two of you together only received 500 million?" Jonouchi said.

After hearing this, the two of them felt that what Jonouchi said was reasonable, but they also felt that something was strange.

After signing, Jonouchi also left. Uchida Kenji asked Imazawa Tetsuo, did we really lose 300 million today?

"You lost a cent. Did you lose money when you bought something? He is stupid and you are stupid too. What you did today was 8+4, a total of 1.2 billion yen, a big deal. I really don't know if you have lost your mind.

." Tetsuo Imazawa said.

"Do you think this Chinese animation will really become popular in Japan?" Uchida was hesitant just now and didn't bid for it because this is Japan, not China.

"Have you seen this type of animation in Japan, Europe and the United States?"

"never seen it."

"I've never seen it before, so I think it's unique, and this animation is both artistic and commercial, which is very rare. Although I know it's a risk, it's worth it."

"I'm still not optimistic about the future of this animation."

………………

One month later, the animation "Tales from the Heavenly Book" was aired on Saturday, and Japan immediately started a "Book from the Heavens" craze. Countless Japanese children shouted while playing the game: "I want to be the Fire Egg King!"
