The big sale of Warcraft III laid a good foundation for Zhou Fangyuan's follow-up plan.

So he is in a very good mood, as soon as he is in a good mood, the whole person becomes different, at least the smile on his face can't be faked.

It's a pity that this smile didn't last long before it turned into a dark cloud.

"You mean, he won't come to Huaxia?"

Zhou Fangyuan asked again, and after getting the exact same answer, his face was a little unpleasant.

It's not that he is self-righteous, he thinks that the people he values must listen to his own arrangements as soon as he listens to them, everyone has their own ambitions, he has a series of follow-up ideas, others also have their own ideas, rich people can't just change other people's minds, right? But having said that, Zhou Fangyuan was really rejected by others, and Zhou Fangyuan felt quite uncomfortable in his heart. And most importantly, the other party's words are not very good, such as "Why should I go to a shabby place like Huaxia?", "Is there a comic industry in Huaxia? Why don't I know?", "My comics are for people who really understand, not for readers who have no comic literacy"...... I won't say who it is here, everyone who knows knows it, and those who don't know it don't know.

In short, Zhou Fangyuan didn't know that this person was so extreme before, he just liked each other's comics, just like Okubo, and wanted to invite the other party to work in his company.

The comic industry in China has had its glory, but it has also experienced a trough. Now that the revival of China is in full swing, in a few years, the country will begin to pay attention to the entertainment industry, the future of China's comic industry, whether it is the scale, or the number of works, is the world's top, although in terms of quality alone, it may be a little worse than Fusang, but in fact, it will not be too bad.

And before Zhou Fangyuan's rebirth, Fusang's animation and comic industry had begun to decline as a whole, with an old-fashioned plot and a bloody plot...... The lack of cultural heritage has led to the weakness of the Fuso animation and comic industry. Huaxia, on the other hand, has a profound cultural heritage that has almost never been broken, which is enough to provide inexhaustible material for comic practitioners. In fact, Zhou Fangyuan's Chinese animation and comic industry before his rebirth was endless, although he himself was really difficult to adapt to the Chinese dubbing of Chinese comics, probably because he had watched too many Japanese comics, and always felt that too much dubbing was a little unaccustomed.

But I can't help but admit that there are too many high-quality products in it.

This is a big market, and since you want to do IP, this industry can't help but get involved. Of course, learning from Brother Xiaoma, rich and capricious, the industry I see, directly use money to open a way out, this method is not impossible. But after all, there is still a problem, and it is far less convenient than starting the layout now. The introduction of Fusang's related works is also to pave the way for this, and I have to admit that in recent years, Fusang's good works have indeed been one after another, the loudest is the three migrant workers, and other masterpieces are also emerging in endlessly.

Among the three migrant workers, the Grim Reaper has already fallen into the hands of Zhou Fangyuan.

There are some changes in both the character design and the content in the Huaxia version, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Huaxia version and the Fusang version are actually drawn by the same author, but they are divided into two different versions, and some things in it also need to be slightly modified, but almost all the characters have not changed. The three migrant workers are still the pirates and the Hokage, who are also Zhou Fangyuan's targets.

The main plot of the Hokage is set in a ninja world, and the story begins with the orphan life of the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki, and the four generations of Hokage sealed the nine-tailed demon fox that attacked the village into his body in order to protect the village. Fortunately, with Iruka-sensei's concern, Naruto's personality has not become distorted, and he is always motivated and very optimistic. In order for more people to recognize himself, Naruto's goal is to become the Hokage. The whole story revolves around Naruto's struggles and growth, Naruto's companions, and the various battles and intrigues in this ninja world.

There are all kinds of gorgeous ninjutsu in it, all kinds of magical secret arts, although the later strength system is really a bit collapsed, but the quality of this work itself is still quite high.

It's been serialized since '99, and it's now in its third year. It is very popular in Fuso, and it has a large number of staunch fans. In Huaxia, the number of fans is also quite large, and it has spread to almost the entire middle school and college stage, which has also laid a solid foundation for the explosion of Naruto's IP more than ten years later. However, today's Hokage is still dominated by piracy in China. It is some Chinese who live in Fuso, or emigrate, or study, or work, in short, for various reasons, these people live in Fuso. As soon as each issue of the comic comes out,They will buy it immediately.,Then split.,Scan.,Send it back to China.,Naturally, there is a Chinese group in China to translate it.,And then publish it on the Internet.。

Of course, the original sinicization group,Most of them are voluntary labor.,Everyone just likes this thing.,Willing to work for the welfare of the majority of netizens.,It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a new era of Internet *** heroes.。 Although the behavior itself is not worth advocating, the result is good, and when Huaxia develops the animation industry in the future, it can have so many excellent practitioners, which is not unrelated to the interest that these people cultivate for readers at this time.

Well, the gossip is out of the way.

Speaking of the manga itself, the Hokage manga, there are very few things that can be changed. He was originally based on ninja ninjutsu, which is not quite the same as the Grim Reaper, so there is almost no way to change the plot and character design.

There is no need to change it, Zhou Fangyuan was going to use it directly, and to be honest, there is no forbidden content in it, it doesn't matter if you change it or not.

Negotiations went smoothly on the introduction of genuine copies, and Shueisha itself was supportive of selling its manga abroad. Huaxia is a big market, and this has been repeated many times, and there are many, many people around the world who can see this, including Shueisha people. Although there is some price to pay, it is good news that the Naruto, a manga, won the game adaptation rights and adaptation rights in Huaxia at the same time. In addition, the animation distribution rights have also been taken down, and the Yuanfang Group can let go of its hands and feet to develop this IP in China, and the legal obstacles can be said to be gone.

As for the people, it is even more unhindered.

The sinicization group was originally volunteering.,They do piracy.,And they don't have any income in themselves.。 It's not like the future.,Not to mention the great development of animation in the future.,The period of great support from the state,Let's just say a little earlier,When animation and comics began to be highly sought after by the new generation,These sinicizations can also make a lot of money.,Provide sinicization services for some websites.,Or simply provide Chinese versions for those genuine websites, etc.,Or advertise on the title page or end page of translated comics, etc.,This is a way to make money.。 But not now, these comics are just emerging, and although there are many people who like them, they are far from reaching the level of later generations.

The development of the Internet is not as good as that of later generations, so it is still more difficult to make money from this.

If you can't make money, isn't that just volunteering?

So Zhou Fangyuan "has great mercy",It's very much to buy several Chinese groups that are famous now and in the future.,It's a bit exaggerated to say that the acquisitions are a bit exaggerated.,People in the Chinese group,There are people from all walks of life.,Some people don't even have jobs.。 Zhou Fangyuan provided them with jobs, and directly set up an official sinicization group in Yuanfang Comics, inviting these people to join the gang. Preferential treatment,The content of the work is to carry out sinicization.。 Of course, the members of the Sinicization group will not object.,Except for a very small number of people who are good at work themselves, they don't agree.,Most people have joined the official Sinicization group.。

Not only do they want to sinicize the Hokage, but all the Fusang comics introduced by the distant group are handed over to them to sinicize.

Now not only has the Naruto Sinicization Group been established, but the Pirate Sinicization Group has also been established.

The Pirates are another part of the Three Migrant Workers, and the Sea of Dead Fire is the three most famous comics in this era. The Grim Reaper doesn't have to say much, it's already Zhou Fangyuan's, and the Hokage has already taken it, so there is one pirate left, so naturally there is no reason to let it go.

The pirates began to be serialized in 97.,It's now the fifth year.,Fame is bigger than the Hokage.,So the cost is not small.,But it's worth the effort.,After all, in the original time and space.,The Grim Reaper is unfinished.,The Hokage is seriously suspected of being unfinished.,Only the pirates.,It's been strong.,Although the power system has also begun to become chaotic.,But the author can still hold it after all.,Didn't completely collapse.。

The plot can be called ups and downs, and the character design can also be called a flamboyant personality, Oda, the author of the pirates, has become the top cartoonist because of such a work, and his income is the top in the entire Fuso comic industry, and he is a god-level author.

Speaking of which, there are still some small ups and downs in the creation of pirates.

Creating pirate stories can be said to be Oda's long-standing dream, and later when the reporter interviewed him, he said that when he was a child, he always wondered why there were no manga with the theme of pirates, and at most he only knew that there was an animation called "Little Heroes of the North Sea". He thinks that when a boy reaches a certain age, he should want to go to sea in search of treasure. Oda has wanted to read pirate manga since he was a child, and at that time he said to himself that if he wanted to draw it himself, he would definitely draw the story of the pirates. Regardless of whether the work can be sold or not, he is mentally prepared to choose it, purely because he wants to see it.

Oda drew pirate manga for the first time when he was in his first year of junior high school, and Oda's imagination of children's adventures was too rich to finish in a notebook. He realized that it was impossible to draw pirate manga in the form of "one episode is over", so he decided to serialize the pirate manga in "Shonen Jump".

In 1997, Eiichiro Oda created the pirate manga "Romance Dan", a short manga that ended in one episode and was the prototype for "One Piece", and the name was later used as a subtitle in the first episode of "One Piece". Of course, although the protagonists of both comics are named Luffy, their personalities are like two people, and the plots are not the same.

However, "Romance Dan" was originally unable to be published in "Shonen Jump" due to the number of pages, so he cut the content of "Romance Dan" and published it in the original journal and supplement of "Shonen Jump" in the form of "one issue", because Oda had already decided to use "Romance Dan" as the prototype of "One Piece", and he was also planning to write another version of "Romance Dan" in the form of "One Piece". With two pirate manga, Eiichiro Oda resigned from his position as an assistant to Nobuhiro Kazuki's "Rogue Kenshin" and moved towards serialization.

At that time, "Rogue Kenshin" was a real masterpiece, and it was the most wonderful experience for Oda to be an assistant in this work. But it's a pity that this man has his own ambitions, and if he fails, he may become the laughing stock of the industry, but he succeeds, of course, this is a later story.

The plot of the story is complicated and complicated, and simple and simple.

Probably the man who has wealth, fame, and power, and everything in this world, "One Piece" Gore Brown. D. Roger, before he was executed and killed, said a word that sent the whole world to the sea. "Do you want my treasures, if you want, then go to the sea and find them, and I'll keep them all there. The world began to welcome the advent of the "Age of Sea Pirates".

In the "Age of the Sea Pirates", in order to find the great secret treasure "ONE PIECE" left by the legendary One Piece Roger, countless pirates raised their flags and fought each other. There is a teenager named Luffy who dreams of becoming a pirate, who becomes a rubber man by accidentally eating a "Devil Fruit" and pays the price of not being able to swim for the rest of his life while gaining superhuman abilities. Ten years later, Luffy goes to sea to fulfill a promise with Shanks, who broke his arm to save him, and he continues to find like-minded partners on his journey, embarking on a great adventure with the goal of becoming One Piece.

It is complicated because the various forces in it are intertwined, and there are not too many foreshadowings, just talking about a blank 100-year history, which has caused countless speculations among netizens.

But if it's simple, it's really simple, it's just fighting monsters all the way to life. Ignore those foreshadowings, just look at the experience of the protagonist, isn't that what is going on? In the final analysis, this is a hot-blooded comic, the main audience is still teenagers, although the connotation and thickness of the plot will inevitably be deepened in the later stage, but in general, it is still easy to understand.

And that's the main tone of most comics.

The Grim Reaper is also a work under Shueisha, so it was taken along with the Hokage.

In addition, the manga won together also included "Dragon Ball", "Slam Dunk", "Full-time Hunter", "Rogue Kenshin", "Gintama", "Jojo" and other manga with high historical sales, which greatly enriched the library of distant manga, and similarly, "Bleach Reaper" was also sold back to Fuso, and the company that sold it was officially Shueisha. Well, in other words, in fact, the distant comics have reached a cooperation agreement with Shueisha, and the two sides will distribute each other's excellent comics, but at this time the other party will still have an advantage, and the distant comics are basically passive.

However, this state will not last long, Zhou Fangyuan's side has already sent someone to negotiate with Shueisha, and he wants to take a stake in Shueisha.

If it had been five years ago, it would not have been easy to take a stake in Shueisha, which is one of the largest publishing houses in Fuso, and it is also an industry in the cultural field, and the Fuso government would definitely not be willing to let crooked nuts become shareholders, especially Chinese people. But the fact now is that while Shueisha's various publications are still selling well, with the development of the Internet, the brick-and-mortar publishing industry has begun to suffer.

Of course, Zhou Fangyuan can wait for a better time to buy shares, but he is too lazy to wait for that time, the current Shueisha is the most valuable, it has IP, it has channels, if you can invest more money, and then get more high-quality IP, that is the most important thing.
