"Young Master Huan, I fought five of them one at a time, and I didn't suffer any loss at all. Isn't it considered a win for the country?"
After figuring out the matter, Qin Peng licked his face and showed off to Chu Huan, "If Kui Zai hadn't held him back, I could have beaten two more, but it's a pity that the people from the police station are here."
Chu Huan glanced at Qin Peng and said calmly, "If you can sleep with five people, you will really bring glory to the country!"
Qin Peng was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "Maybe you can do it if you try hard, but I'm worried that everything that comes out later will be water!"
Chu Huan glanced at Qin Peng speechlessly, "Why do I feel that after this fight, you seem to have opened up your Rendu and Dumai vessels?"
Qin Peng chuckled and said, "I don't know why, but it just feels good to beat up those little Japanese guys."
Chu Huan chuckled and said, "Okay, you have brought glory to the country. Let's go back and give you three a good celebration!"
Seeing that Chu Huan was not angry because of this incident, Bao Tianming, Liu Pingkui, and Qin Peng quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Several people returned to the hotel together.
In the next few days, Chu Huan's life in Japan became much boring. In the morning, Chu Huan would go out and find various comic book stores, pack up and buy all the comics that can be seen in the Japanese market, and then
Sent back to Xiangjiang.
In the afternoon, we spent on insect removal and got familiar with the creative process of insect making.
Chu Huan soon discovered that the people here looked listless, as if they were ready to pack up and leave at any time. After being told by the translator around him, Chu Huan understood why these people were like this.
Just as Chu Huan already knew the news, now everyone at Chong Production basically knows the current situation of Chong Production, which is heavily in debt and unable to repay bank loans.
In other words, the day when their company's bank loan matures is when Chong Production goes bankrupt.
That's why these people are so listless, but Chu Huan also discovered that there are a few people who are in a different state than them. After inquiring, he learned that these people have either already found their next home or are preparing to start their own business.
Osamu Tezuka's influence in the Japanese animation industry is unparalleled, and these people can also be regarded as his apprentices. Even if Osamu Productions goes bankrupt, as long as these people are willing to put down their bodies and go out to find jobs, they will not starve to death in the animation industry.
In fact, this is the case. After the bankruptcy of Next Year Chong Production, these people did not leave the animation industry. Some started their own businesses, and some drew their own comics. In the end, they all became famous people.
It can be seen that although the management of Insect Production is not good, it is nothing short of the P Military Academy in the Japanese animation industry.
In addition, Chu Huan is familiar with the creative process of insect production. The main writer is naturally Osamu Tezuka, but many times Tezuka Osamu is only responsible for the beginning part, and then distributes the story outline, and then Akio Sugino and others are responsible for improving it.
Unless those few special comics were written by Osamu Tezuka himself, the others were completed by these people.
"This is a bit like the creative process of North American comics!"
After Chu Huan discovered this, he also noticed the difference between Chong Production and other comics colleagues in Japan.
In Japan, a comic is basically completed independently by an original author, with at most a butler-like editor around him.
Just like Akira Toriyama later, he created "Arale" and "Dragon Ball" all by himself, from story to painting.
This leads to the rumor that why Toriyama Akira must write Cell is because Cell is too difficult to draw.
After learning about this matter, Chu Huan went to "Weekly Shonen JP" again. This comic magazine was founded in 1968. It is also known as the three major comics in Japan along with "Weekly Shonen Z" and "Weekly Shonen DY".
weekly.
Among them, "Dragon Ball", "Slam Dunk", "Captain", "One Piece" and "Naruto" that are familiar to young people in China basically come from this comic magazine.
However, the production of "Weekly Shōnen JP" was not as smooth as the production of Chu Chong. The other party now has a big business and doesn't care about Chu Huan's identity at all.
As for Chu Huan's proposal to visit, he was rejected on the spot.
Chu Huan turned around and left without saying anything.
Power is the last word.
So when he left "Weekly Shonen JP", Chu Huan decided that he would be a mangaka for "Weekly Shonen JP" in the future.
After getting acquainted with the people at Chong Production, Chu Huan began to use his friendly and friendly personality and started inviting them to dinner and drinks. Within two times, Chu Huan became familiar with these people.
And this also allowed Chu Huan to understand the personalities of these people and who was more likely to be poached by him to go to Xiangjiang.
On the other side, Osamu Tezuka gradually understood Chu Huan's tricks, but he didn't say anything about Chu Huan's behavior.
Seeing that Chong Production was about to close down, even if Chu Huan didn't show up, these people would definitely have found another job.
Now that Chu Huan appears, it would be better to form a romantic relationship and see if there is any chance for the two parties to cooperate in the future!
Today is Chu Huan’s fifth day at Chong Production, and after get off work tonight, Chu Huan made an appointment with a painter named Kamikura Yasuo to have dinner alone.
This person is not the most famous in Insect Production, and compared to Sugino Akio and others, his ability is even worse. However, through these few days of observation, Chu Huan discovered something interesting.
This person is basically a one-size-fits-all talent in Insect Production. You can see him in any department, which shows that this person is familiar with the entire Insect Production creation process.
Chu Huan needs such talents. Those who are too shrewd, such as Sugino Akio, are very difficult to control. Moreover, Chu Huan also found out that Sugino Akio and Yamazaki Tong already have financial backers and are ready to fund their establishment of their own company.
's studio.
Chu Huan does not need such a talent, he is too wild-minded!
In addition, Kamikura Yasuo also has a weakness that Chu Huan can take advantage of.
In the izakaya, Chu Huan and Kamikura Yasuo were sitting at the bar.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mr. Chu, I'm really surprised that there are so many people in the company, I didn't expect you to choose me in the end!"
Kamikura Yasuo seemed to have known why Chu Huan was looking for him for a long time.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "It seems that everyone at Chong Production already knows my thoughts."
The Japanese are obsessed with "Three Kingdoms" and people all over the country know it.
Chu Huan said frankly and honestly, "Since you already know, I won't beat around the bush and follow you back to Xiangjiang. I will give your mother the money for her medical treatment!"
This is Kamikura Yasuo's weakness. Through observation over the past few days, Chu Huan knows that this person is a very filial person. Overtime is normal in Japan, but it is even more exaggerated in Chongzhi Production. Overtime is as normal as breathing.
But even so, Kamikura Yasuo is still the one who comes the earliest and leaves the last.
All this is in the hope of getting more overtime pay to treat his mother's illness.
Sure enough, after Chu Huan said this, Kamikura Yasuo immediately showed a hint of excitement, "Mr. Chu, are you telling the truth?"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Of course, I never joke about this kind of thing. If you don't believe it, we can go to the hospital early tomorrow morning and pay all the expenses required for your mother's treatment!"
If Yasuo Kamikura is used properly, Chu Huan is prepared to use him for at least ten years. In the opinion of Yasuo Kamikura, the amount of medical expenses is astronomical, but in Chu Huan's opinion, it is just a few more searches.
Tian Ni's fee, using this money to win over a person's heart, is simply too profitable.
At this time, Kamikura Yasuo stood up on the chair excitedly, bowed deeply to Chu Huan, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chu, I will not let you down!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "That's what I'm waiting for."
The excited Yasuo Kamikura began to explain the creative process of insect production to Chu Huan in detail, when he talked about the animation production section.
Chu Huan interrupted him, "I have no idea of doing animation right now. I will focus on comics first, and then I will think about animation after I start comics."
Although Chu Huan wants to set up his own animation company, Xiangjiang is different from Japan. Xiangjiang’s TV stations basically produce and sell themselves.
Play your own programs and TV series, and don’t buy them from outside at all. Even if Chu Huan makes animations, TVB, and Li’s TVs, you may not necessarily buy them.
Even if they knew how to buy it, they would keep the price very low. For Chu Huan, the gain outweighed the loss.
On the contrary, it is better to concentrate on comics and wait until the comic magazine is launched, and then study the TV station.
After hearing what Chu Huan said, Kamikura Yasuo did not insist, but started another suggestion very obediently.
"There is another thing, that is the problem of artists. Now Chong Production has more than fifty artists, but it is still not enough. If Mr. Chu wants to set up a comic magazine in Hong Kong, he will need to bring some Japanese artists there, but
If this is the case, the remuneration will definitely be more than in Japan."
This is a difficult problem. Chu Huan thought about it for a while and said, "First contact the painters you are familiar with. You don't want girly-style ones. Contact as many as you can. After arriving in Xiangjiang, I will recruit some painters in Xiangjiang.
However, the level of these painters should not be as high as yours, and you will need to train them when the time comes."
Yasuo Kamikura said hesitantly, "There is no problem with this, but even if their technology is sufficient, what really supports a comic is the story. What if there is no good story?"
"You don't have to worry about this!" Chu Huan already had his own ideas about the development of comic magazines in their early stages, and asked directly, "Have you read Xiangjiang Jinyong's martial arts novels?"
Kamikura Yasuo nodded and said, "Mr. Jin Yong's works are also very popular in Japan!"
Chu Huan said with a smile, "That's great. In the early stage of our comic magazine, we will adapt comics based on Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels and the works of other martial arts novelists. Of course, if there is anything in this process,
When an artist has their own story, they can try to create it, and if it passes the company's internal review, their comics can also be published."
Later generations’ impressions of comics in Hong Kong include the comics of the same name created by the movie “Young and Dangerous”, as well as comics such as “Wind and Cloud”, “Heroes of China” and “Dragon and Tiger Gate”.
But in fact, for a period of time, comics adapted from Jin Yong's novels had a very good market in Hong Kong and even throughout Southeast Asia.
Although the comic market in Xiangjiang cannot be said to have just emerged at this time, after all, in 1959, Xiangjiang had a bimonthly magazine "Comics World", but Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao, who really brought Xiangjiang comics into the commercial market, also
It's just getting started.
Huang Yulang was serializing his "Little Rascals", which was later renamed "Dragon and Tiger Gate".
But at this time, Huang Yulang had not yet founded his own Yulang International, and Shangguan Xiaobao was also a miserable migrant worker!
As for Jin Yong's novel, it is still very popular in the hearts of Hong Kong people. If a comic adapted from Jin Yong's novel is released at this time, fans of Jin Yong's novel will definitely be full of feelings and expectations.
Especially when TV dramas haven't started yet.
Chu Huan believes that there should be a huge market for comics adapted from Jin Yong’s novels at this time.
In addition, Chu Huan also co-founded a martial arts magazine with Shangguan Zhen and Gu Long in Taiwan. At that time, Chu Huan told the two of them that he would launch fan comics of the novels published in the martial arts magazine in the future.
This can be regarded as paving the way for this matter in advance.
After hearing what Chu Huan said, Kamikura Yasuo showed a hint of disappointment. As an artist working at the Insect Production Company founded by Osamu Tezuka, Kamikura Yasuo naturally hopes to one day create his own original comics.
But now Chu Huan obviously has no idea in this regard.
Seeing Yasuo Kamikura's expression, Chu Huan understood Yasuo Kamikura's thoughts. Since he was now planning to bring Yasuo Kamikura back to Xiangjiang to take charge of his own comic business, Chu Huan still had to draw some necessary cakes.
"Don't worry, as long as you come back to Xiangjiang with me and straighten things out in the company, you can create the comics you want to create, and there will always be a space for your comics in the company's magazine!"
Sure enough, after hearing what Chu Huan said, the disappointment in Kamikura Yasuo's eyes dissipated a little, but only a little.
After all, compared to Japan, Xiangjiang is a comic desert. Even if it has its own original comics, how much attention can it attract?
As for this point, Chu Huan does not plan to unravel Yasuo Kamikura anymore, because even if he draws this pie, the other party may not believe it.
"Mr. Chu, please rest assured, I will definitely complete my work very well!" Kamikura Yasuo also knows that you can't have your cake and eat it too. For the sake of his mother's condition, he can only accept Chu Huan's suggestion.
.
Finally, Chu Huan made the last request, "One more thing, you have to help me find an artist in Japan who is good at drawing fighting, passionate, and funny paintings. This artist will be responsible for a brand new comic independently, and this
Comics will also become the main comics promoted by our comic magazine."
If it was just to adapt Jin Yong's novel, then there was no need for Chu Huan to find so many painters in Japan.
Let's put it this way, the comics adapted from Jin Yong's martial arts novels only ensure the basic base of his comic magazine in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and the comic Chu Huan specially prepared is the enemy of the comic magazine's expansion.
Chu Huan can provide comic stories and characters, but the only thing he cannot provide is the painting skills, so this matter is the most important to Chu Huan.
Yasuo Kamikura thought for a moment and said, "The candidate has been selected, but I have no way of knowing whether he will go to Xiangjiang with me."
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "No, I must have such a person. If you can't even complete this task, our cooperation can only be temporarily suspended."
It can be said that Kamikura Yasuo and this artist are equally important to Chu Huan's comic magazine. Although it is impossible for Chu Huan not to cooperate with Kamikura Yasuo because he can't find such a person, he should give him the due
The pressure still has to be given.
Kamikura Yasuo also understood that Chu Huan's temporary suspension probably meant that he would not be able to get financial support from Chu Huan, and then there would be no way to treat his mother's illness.
Thinking of this, Kamikura Yasuo immediately said, "Mr. Chu, don't worry, I can definitely bring this person over!"
Chu Huan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, it's good to have this confidence."
Yasuo Kamikura once again expressed his gratitude to Chu Huan.
The two agreed on a time and place to meet tomorrow, and Chu Huan left the izakaya with his translator. However, Yasuo Kamikura wiped his face severely after walking out of the izakaya.
Only then did he realize that he was going to Xiangjiang in the future to be the editor-in-chief of a comic magazine?
He didn't know whether his behavior was a success or a failure, but he understood that he had no way out!
Normally, Kamikura Yasuo would be reluctant to take a taxi, but today he wanted to take the news home quickly so that his family could share this joy with him.
This is the most ordinary house in Japan, but when Kamikura Yasuo saw that the lights in the house were still on, he felt a warm feeling in his heart for no reason.
Then he walked quickly back home.
After opening the door, a girl in her mid-twenties, a few years younger than Kamikura Yasuo, opened the door.
After meeting Yasuo Kamikura, the girl worriedly said, "Brother, why are you coming back later than usual today?"
This girl's name is Kamikura Mikoto, and she is Kamikura Yasuo's sister. She works in a trading company, and her work is also very hard.
Yasuo Kamikura asked happily, "Is mom asleep?"
Kamikura Yasuo's father fell ill and passed away when he was a teenager, leaving only three of them, mother and son. Kamikura Yasuo and Kamikura Mikoto were both raised by their mothers.
"Baofu is back?"
Yasuo Kamikura's mother opened the door, looked pale, and walked out with frivolous steps. She smelled the smell of alcohol on Yasuo Kamikura's body, and a smile appeared on her face. She always thought that her illness was dragging down her son and daughter.
In order to treat themselves, the two of them worked hard every day. In order to save money, they never attended company dinners.
Naturally, there is no intersection.
But today she smelled the smell of alcohol on her son, which made her feel that her son might have a friend of his own.
Yasuo Kamikura excitedly said to his sister, "Hurry up and pack your mother's clothes. We will go to the hospital to perform surgery on her tomorrow!"
Kamikura Mikoto and their mother were both stunned. They didn't expect that the first thing Kamikura Yasuo said when he came back would be this?
"Brother, what on earth is going on?" Kamikura Mikoto asked excitedly.
Their mother worriedly asked, "Baofu, have you done something bad?"
Kamikura Yasuo hurriedly said, "It's not what you think, it's like this."
Later, Kamikura Yasuo told the two of them about the agreement between himself and Chu Huan.
After listening to this, both of them were a little at a loss as what happened was so sudden.
Finally, Kamikura Mikoto asked, "Brother, are you saying that you agreed to go to Xiangjiang to help him manage the comic magazine office, and then he was willing to pay for his mother's medical treatment?"
Kamikura Yasuo nodded happily and said, "Yes, he has promised me that he will come and join us tomorrow to take mom to the hospital!"
Kamikura Yasuo's mother had other worries, "But are you going to a place as far away as Xiangjiang?"
Yasuo Kamikura comforted him, "Mom, you know I have always wanted to create a comic of my own. In Japan, I didn't have such an opportunity at all. Now Mr. Chu is willing to give me this opportunity and let me help him take care of it."
Comic magazines can help you treat your illness again, I really want to try it!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing Kamikura Yasuo say this, his mother was still a little worried and said, "But where are you? You are not familiar with the place. What if something happens again?"
"
Yasuo Kamikura could only continue to comfort him, and after ten minutes, he finally made his mother accept the matter.
Then Kamikura Yasuo said to his sister, "Little sister, I may stay in Xiangjiang for a longer time in the future. I will leave it to you to take care of my mother at home. But don't worry, I have already made an agreement with Mr. Chu."
, I will wait until my mother is discharged from the hospital before going to Xiangjiang."
Kamikura Mikoto nodded seriously and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of mom!"
The next day!
Chu Huan arrived at Kamikura Yasuo's home as promised. Kamikura Yasuo's side had prepared everything. Kamikura Yasuo's mother thanked Chu Huan profusely after seeing her. Chu Huan could only deal with it helplessly.
Afterwards, everyone drove Yasuo Kamikura's mother to the hospital. After seeing Chu Huan paying all the expenses such as hospitalization fees and surgery fees, Yasuo Kamikura finally let go of the last trace of worry in his heart.
"Mr. Chu, thank you so much. Don't worry, I will definitely help you find the kind of painter you are looking for."
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Okay, now you can stay with your mother in the hospital. I'll be waiting for you in Xiangjiang in October!"
Kamikura Yasuo has decided to leave for Xiangjiang in October. By that time, his mother should already have a certain ability to move independently.
After leaving the hospital, Chu Huan spent another two days visiting theaters in Tokyo. Finally, Chu Huan asked the translator he hired to find a private detective.
In Japan, this profession exists legally, so it can be seen in many Japanese comics, TV shows, and movies.
Among them, the one most familiar to domestic audiences is "City Hunter" Yazi!
But this kind of profession is not protected by law in China. The only people responsible for investigating crimes are the police, not even consultants. This is why the popular "White Night" has no sequel.
The filming has indeed been completed, but there is definitely no way it will be released.
Unless domestic policies change.
So those viewers who are still waiting can give up this idea.
After finding the private detective, Chu Huan gave out several names. This was a long-term mission. If you found one, you would be paid once. In fact, these names were familiar to everyone. For example, Takehiko Inoue was among them.
There is nothing that can be done about this. Chu Huan only knows what kind of comics these people have drawn, but he does not know their personal circumstances. What if there are some of them by Xiao Douding?
Then there is no way to draw comics at all, and reading comics is almost the same.
So first search and find it. If you are in the comics industry, then find a way to get it to Xiangjiang. If you are not there yet, then slowly observe.
Finally, if you can't get to Xiangjiang, it doesn't matter. At worst, you can take out their comics in advance. Even if you don't remember the story, you can make a magic modification. At worst, no one will play!
This is Chu Huan's idea. What I can't get, no one can get.
After doing all this, Chu Huan finally decided to return to Xiangjiang.
However, before leaving Tokyo, Chu Huan still met with Osamu Tezuka alone.
"Kamikura Yasuo has submitted his resignation. I didn't expect that Mr. Chu would fall in love with him in the end!" Osamu Tezuka told Chu Huan bluntly.
Chu Huan said nonchalantly, "There is no way. The people under Mr. Tezuka are very famous in the Japanese animation industry. Even if I want them to follow me to Xiangjiang, they are not willing!"
Tezuka Osamu nodded. As he said before, he didn't care about Chu Huan poaching people. After all, most of the people working on Mushi Production had already been booked by other studios.
Now there is just one more Kamikura Yasuo.
Moreover, Kamikura Yasuo went to Xiangjiang. From Tezuka Osamu's point of view, this was even less likely to pose a threat to him.
"Actually, the level of animation in your country is very high. Why isn't Mr. Chu looking for it in your country?" Tezuka Osamu asked with some confusion.
This is not Osamu Tezuka's polite words, but he really thinks so. In a few years, when the domestic situation stabilizes, Tezuka Osamu will make a pilgrimage to the country.
Chu Huan did not give a real explanation, but just found a reason and said, "My magazine is a start-up, and I pay more attention to the commercial market."
Osamu Tezuka did not doubt Chu Huan's answer. After all, the most successful companies in the animation industry are Japan and North America.
After a brief exchange, the two stood up and said goodbye.
Finally, Chu Huan went to the hospital again, visited Kamikura Yasuo's mother, and then decided to return to Xiangjiang.
When Chu Huan returned to Xiangjiang, it was already the end of August. The success of this trip to Japan was hard to believe, but at the same time, it also made Chu Huan a little confused.
Obviously he had asked Fang Jianhui to reveal his coming to Japan, so why didn't Chu Tianxiao take any action?
