"So, Mr. Karasawa wants the manga adaptation rights for "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone"?"
After figuring out the purpose of the cartoonist's visit, Sun Peng tapped the table with his fingers unexpectedly, and subconsciously frowned.
Of course many people want the comic adaptation rights of that novel.
In fact, regardless of the sales volume of the novel, as long as there is a name of Lao Bai, the adaptation rights will never be ignored, and the prices offered by those in the country are not low. But what Sun Peng did not expect was that he
I also encountered this situation when I went to Japan.
"Gudong!"
Looking at Sun Peng's frown, Tang Zeliang swallowed hard, then nodded and said: "Yes, I like this "Han Bo and the Lingshi" very much... You also know that I drew "Yin Yang" before.
"Master" is also a similar theme, so if possible I hope to adapt it into a comic!"
"Onmyoji..."
Sun Peng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers continued to tap rhythmically on the table.
The reason why he recognized Mr. Karasawa Ryo was because of the "Onmyoji" manga... To be precise, he was watching animation. Japan's most sophisticated production pictures are still second, but the key is that the plot of the story is very exciting.
The adventure story of a young onmyoji is so fascinating that it makes people want to put it down, otherwise Sun Peng would not have specifically searched for Tang Zeliang's other works to read.
Therefore, Sun Peng quite agreed with Tang Zeliang's words.
The most attractive aspect of "Onmyoji", apart from the adventure story itself, is that the spells set by Tang Zeliang are not only novel and interesting, but also have their own complete system, which is very convincing. So alone
From this aspect, Tang Zeliang is actually right. The themes of the two are indeed quite similar...
Listening to the conversation between the two, Kasumi Aoki next to her looked calm.
As Sun Peng's old friend in Japan, who always has a meal together every time he comes here, Aoki Kasumi knows this big shot in China very well. Therefore, Aoki Kasumi is really not optimistic about the whims of his old friend.
——She wanted to get a song from Lao Bai, but it was extremely difficult!
"Mr. Karasawa wants the rights to adapt "Han Bo and the Spiritual Stone", which is my honor!"
Just when Aoki Kasumi slowly took a sip of tea, waiting to see how Lao Bai would politely reject her old friend, and then thinking about how to comfort this stubborn guy later, Sun Peng's sudden words made the female singer take a drink.
The tea in it almost spit out again!
"Nani?"
"I'll give you a business card and contact my agent later!"
As Sun Peng took out a business card and handed it to Tang Zeliang, Aoki Kasumi could finally be sure that she had guessed correctly. This guy really wanted to hand over the manga adaptation rights to Tang Zeliang?!
What's going on?!
"Ah? Is it really possible?"
He was also a little surprised by Sun Peng's straightforward answer. Tang Zeliang couldn't help but stand up in surprise and joy.
"Haha, of course it's true!"
Nodding, Sun Peng said with a smile: "As I said, I really like Mr. Tang Ze's "Onmyoji", and "Han Bo and the Spiritual Stone" can indeed be adapted into a comic... But Mr. Tang Ze, I
It must be emphasized that even if we can talk, we can only talk about the adaptation rights of the Japanese version. Is it acceptable?"
"This...can!"
Gritting his teeth, Tang Zeliang immediately agreed after hesitating for a moment.
There is only Japanese adaptation rights, which means that even if the comics become popular in the future, they cannot be translated into other languages, and the market is completely restricted to Japan. But Karasawa knew that in the dialogue with this old white man, he basically had no say in the matter, and he could even
He said that without the help of Kasumi Aoki, an old friend, he would never have a chance to see the other party, so there would be almost no room for bargaining!
Tang Zeliang was overjoyed that he was allowed to talk to his agent.
And he also knows that with the influence of the name Lao Bai in Japan, as long as he works hard to draw more exciting paintings, a Japanese version alone will be enough to save his decadent career for several years...
...
"Thank you, Sun Sang."
When she finally broke up with Sun Peng, Aoki Kasumi bowed solemnly to him.
"Ah? Why are you so formal all of a sudden?"
Seeing Sun Peng's surprised look, Aoki Kasumi took a deep breath and said with gratitude: "Thank you for agreeing to my rude request and giving Mr. Karasawa a chance! I know the rights to adapt your novel.
They are all very precious, but he is really a good friend of mine, so..."
"Haha, don't worry about it, Miss Aoki!"
The look of Kasumi Aoki made Sun Peng feel a little embarrassed, and he waved his hands and said with a smile: "Actually, I am indeed considering the manga adaptation of the novel. Mr. Karasawa is also a manga artist I admire very much, so... I should say that if the cooperation succeeds in the end
If so, we all just get what we need."
There is no need for Sun Peng to tell lies to his friends.
He is indeed considering the comic adaptation of Little Wizard, especially since the current sales are not as good as he expected. If Karasawa can draw wonderful comics and increase Little Wizard's popularity in Japan, why not?
"Really? That would be great!"
Although she didn't believe it in her heart, Aoki Kasumi still had a look of relief on her face. To be honest, she brought Tang Zeliang to see Sun Peng today, and she felt a lot of pressure in her heart. Although her personal relationship with Sun Peng was indeed
Yes, but as the box office of Laobai's scripts has been getting higher and higher in the past two years, it would be a lie if Aoki Kasumi didn't have any pressure. However, this Mr. Karasawa was kind to Aoki Kasumi in the past, and this request cannot be ignored.
.
"By the way, let me ask a question."
Just when Aoki Kasumi thought Sun Peng was giving her face and was secretly grateful, Sun Peng suddenly asked with a smile: "A great cartoonist wants to adapt him. Is it possible that "Hanbo and the Spiritual Stone" is very popular in Japan?"
Are you welcome?"
"Yes, many children like it very much!"
Sun Peng was quite surprised by Aoki Kasumi's answer. The female singer smiled and said: "I once gave a copy to my little niece, and she liked it very much. She often asked me when she can watch the next episode..."
...
"If you ask me that, the sales of the Japanese version do seem to be pretty good."
When Sun Peng returned to the hotel, Sun Ya, who received his call, finally called back and said with a smile: "As you know, the sales of martial arts novels in Japan are very average, and the highest one only sold for more than 90,000 yuan."
There are only one copy, but "Han Bo and the Spiritual Stone" has sold 360,000 copies so far... Gee, this is quite a remarkable achievement!"
"More than three hundred thousand? Amazing!"
After hearing this number, Sun Peng's eyes couldn't help but light up!
This number is definitely unreadable compared with domestic ones, but it is enough to surprise people. You must know that except for those picture books, Sun Peng's martial arts novels are basically unsaleable in Japan. And "Han Bo and the Spirit"
Does the good sales of "Stone" in Japan indicate that it can replicate the huge success of Harry Potter in Japan on Earth?
Thinking of this, Sun Peng couldn't help but laugh: "That's just right, Second Sister, you can have a good talk with the cartoonist later..." (To be continued)
