Dark Horse Comics Company.

General Manager Zhang Tianxi smiled and said to Liangtian Jianichi: "Sorry, Mr. Liangtian, Mr. Kang does not allow "Crayon Shin-chief" to have any modifications to the name of the place, but there are any changes to the name of the person."

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. This can increase the sales of comics and is beneficial to both parties in our cooperation."

Zhang Tianxi still smiled consistently: "I know what Mr. Liangtian said, but I can't make decisions about this."

Kenichi Liangda 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 had 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 Studiodeen Company are here."

"Go out! Didn't you see me meeting guests? You came in without knocking on the door. What a moral character," Zhang Tianxi gave a lesson to the secretary, then turned to Liangda Jianichi with a smile, "Mr. Liangda, 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, ShueiShe, Primary School Pavilion and Baiquanshe, formed a bridge publishing group, but they were still independent and deceived competition at this time. Moreover, in terms of origin, the Primary School Pavilion has the longest history. Baiquanshe was independent from ShueiShe more than ten years ago. ShueiShe was independent from the Primary School Pavilion decades ago.

Liangda Kenichi said: "Manager Zhang, our Shueisha "Weekly Jump" is the most widely circulated comic magazine in Japan. The previous issue was 5.16 million copies. As long as "The Journey of Ethereal" or "Crayon Shin-chief" is serialized in this magazine for several issues, it will become famous and will make comic fans in Japan know."

Zhang Tianxi smiled and said, "But the readers of Jiyingshe 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-hshin-chinese".

"But Shueisha is more suitable for "The Ethereal Journey", isn't it?" said Liangda Kenichi. In fact, his main purpose of coming to Hong Kong was not just for "Crayon Shin-chief", but also because of "The Ethereal Journey".

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-chief", it was only known after Liangda Kenichi came to Hong Kong. It was an unexpected surprise.

Currently, the most popular fantasy novel in Japan is "The Legend of the Galaxy", which was just a while ago. Its author Yoshiki Tanaka wanted to comic "The Legend of the Galaxy". The partner has already agreed to be Tokuma Bookstore and Primary School Pavilion.

In order to meet the challenge, Shueisha looked for super fantasy comics everywhere. As a result, "The Ethereal Journey" 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 Kishu is selling very popular now."

Speaking of Dragon Ball, Liangda Kenichi was proud. He said: "If your company is willing to hand over "Crayon Shin-chief" and "Emotional Journey" to Shueisha for operation, it will definitely achieve the best results, and the royalties and royalties are provided with the treatment of famous artists."

Zhang Tianxi was still smiling: "The serialization of the two comics can be handed over to your company, but the distribution of a single copy will be made. Heima Comics Company will contact the Japanese publisher directly."

"That's impossible!" Liangda Jianichi immediately refused. The release of popular comics single-line books is an important profitable project of Shueisha.

"Then there is nothing to talk about." Zhang Tianxi smiled.

According to Kenichi Liangda, the Black Horse Comics Company can only earn a weekly serial royalty and a little single-book royalty, and the big part is taken to Shueisha. If it were the past, Shueisha wanted to buy Hong Kong comics, then Hong Kong comics companies would be willing to give it for free. As long as they can become famous in Japan, even if they are not popular in Japan, they can use this as a gimmick to increase Hong Kong 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 Heima 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 can only give up." Liangda Kenichi said that Shueisha now has "Dragon Ball" and "Oolong Police Station" stores, so it's really not necessary to buy "Pengmei Journey".

Shortly after Liangtian Jian left, his secretary brought Ye Yangu and Xiangtianliang in.

"Please sit down, two of you." Zhang Tianxi said.

Ye Yanguzhi only fell in love with "Crayon Shin-chief" 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-chief" and hopes we can cooperate."

Zhang Tianxi asked: "What kind of cooperation method?"

Ye Yanguzhi said: "Now it is serialized in "Weekly Young Sunday", and then the Primary School Club will publish a single-line version of "Crayon Shin-chief" with Tokuma Bookstore. Finally, it cooperates with studiodeen to produce cartoons, which can definitely tap the potential of this comic to the extreme."

Aichi Ryo took the opportunity to speak: "Yes, studiodeen 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 a phone call on his desk suddenly rang. He apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone first."

"Please give me a try!" Ye Yanguzhi said.

Zhang Tianxi answered the phone: "Hey, Hei Horse Comics Company."

Kang Jianfei's voice came from the phone: "I am Kang Jianfei. Are you negotiating conditions with the Japanese comic company now? I have pushed them all, and I have found a partner here."

"Are there any partner? Ah, OK." Zhang Tianxi was stunned for a moment and agreed immediately, 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, 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 is also 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 Kakugawa Haruki’s upcoming Kakugawa Manga Company, and the release of a single comic book 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, who was a famous Hong Kong director.

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 Matsuba Films release DreamWorks movies to make a big profit, 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 it has been abandoned for many years, I can still recite dozens of Tang and Song lyrics now."

Kang Jianfei smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "That's really shameful. I probably won't have more than 10 songs that I can recite intact. Most of them have to read the previous sentence before they can recall the next sentence."

The flowery sedan chair is carried by people, and Haruki Kakugawa 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 Japan Film Academy Award two years ago, and later it was a classic movie in the minds of a generation of Japanese people.

"Actually, I have always wanted to cooperate with DreamWorks. Although I came to Hong Kong for a trip this time, I still hope to invite Miss Lin Qingxia to film in Japan." Haruki Kakugawa 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. At the same time, the novels were released. As a result, the novels were made in both sides of the movies.

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 Hong Kong and Taiwan. The "Crayon Shin-chief" and "Ethereal Journey" comics are one of the contents of their library strategy.
