Chapter 63: Mu Mengqi's phone
The creator of Slam Dunk is called Yuhiko Inoue, and it was against this backdrop that he submitted his first work to Shonen Jump after entering the Faculty of Literature at Kumamoto University, and the work that Inoue tried to discard at one time attracted the attention of the editor. He dropped out of his third year of university and came to Tokyo to work as an assistant to manga artist Tsukasa Hojo.
In 1988, the then 21-year-old Inoue won the "Tezuka Award" for "Purple Maple" and appeared on the manga stage. This was followed by the publication of the short compilation "I Like Red".
Then he was out of control, and based on his favorite childhood basketball, he created a masterpiece, "Slam Dunk"!
Slam Dunk's painting style is the only reason why it stands out from countless manuscripts, and part of it is because of its unique expressive approach.
A large number of lines are used to depict each image, especially the depiction of a line of bad youth, which seems to be rough, but in fact it is full of powerful expressiveness, which is refreshing and has created a sales record for comics.
And now, Li Fangcheng actually saw the appearance of a god-like expression! At that moment, this person was curious!
"This person is Zhou Hongfu, an overseas Chinese, grew up in the United States since childhood, especially likes basketball, especially powerful, when he was in school, he took people from his department to win the basketball cup championship for three consecutive years, because the major is animation, the learning ability is very strong, and Ling Donghua introduced him. Ying Qinglian said with a smile.
Li Fangcheng's heart moved, such a coincidence, he is also a person who likes basketball and loves basketball? Could it be that this style of painting is inspired by basketball?
After thinking about it, he said, "Then this person is also our company now?"
"That's right, now I'm also in the project of the Legend of the Heroes, and I'm in a group. Ying Qinglian nodded.
"Where is the person? Let me talk to him?" Li Fangcheng said a little hurriedly.
"No, I just went to play with Meng Hao. Ying Qinglian said lightly.
"How long have you been there? Don't they go to work?" Li Fangcheng said with a frown.
"It's been two hours, but, boss, don't you know, it's Saturday?" Ying Qinglian said speechlessly.
"Ahem, then you're all still here?" Li Fangcheng was a little embarrassed.
"After all, we are also part of the company, we have all stepped down from the student council and club duties, and it is the time to be free, whether we are free on weekends or not, we will get used to coming over. Ying Qinglian looked at the direction of the academy outside the window and said.
......
When you are a student, it will eventually pass, some people will leave regrets, and some people will be happy, of course, no matter what it is, it is worth being happy if you find your goal.
"Okay, since I'm going to play, let's wait for him to come back, let's go back to these three drafts, the first draft is obviously more in line with the feeling of the beauty of the mean, I have just said it, but one thing to consider carefully is that the beauty of the mean, not to eliminate all your personality, such as the plumber image of Super Mario, he is not an ordinary person, but he also has his characteristics. Li Fangcheng handed the manuscript back to Ying Qinglian.
"So what you mean is that features can be there and must be there. Ying Qinglian was thoughtful.
With a snap of his fingers, Li Fangcheng affirmed: "Yes, you have to have a characteristic, so you have to make the player look like it, and subconsciously recognize what kind of image this is." It is only in terms of style that he is created under the guidance of the core of the beauty of the mean. Li Fangcheng said slowly.
"Well, I'll just say, if we all follow this kind of thinking, wouldn't the characters created be very different? Now understood. Ying Qinglian took the manuscript and nodded.
"Okay, you can play the rest. After Li Fangcheng confirmed that there was no problem, he handed it over to Ying Qinglian to continue to preside over the art work.
Ding~Ding~
I have to say that the phone in this era is very loud, and the whole office is disrupted by this sound.
Li Fangcheng walked over and grabbed it: "Hello, this is Miracle Times Co., Ltd." How can I help you. ”
"Yo, Li Fangcheng, this official tone is good. A familiar voice came from the phone.
"Eh, Sister Mengqi, why are you, don't make fun of me, isn't this a requirement for the company's standardization? On the other end of the phone was Mu Mengqi's voice.
"I called two days ago, and I heard that I was busy with something important recently, so I didn't bother, and now I'm done?" Mu Mengqi said with a chuckle.
"Yes, I'm really busy with a very important matter, and now I have an eyebrow for the time being, but it's just a bad executor. Li Fangcheng looked helpless.
"Hehe, I'll go to your company for a while, the position you mentioned last time, the director of the marketing department, I'm very interested. Mu Mengqi looked at the girl who was dancing next to her, and said with a blank look.
"Really? That's great. When are you coming?" Li Fangcheng was overjoyed in his heart.
Mu Mengqi's ability may not be enough to explain now, but in 10 years, there will be newspapers abroad that will publish that an overseas Chinese girl will become the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, and there is no need to question such ability.
"I have a few hours left on the plane. ”
"So fast?"
"What's the matter?
"How? Just a little surprised, haha,"
"Okay, give me the address of your company, and I'll go over then. ”
"Okay, no problem. ”
After saying the address, he hung up the phone, and Li Fangcheng finally put his mind at ease.
The role of the market center will be a crucial part of Li Fangcheng's plan!
Publicity, two words, stands for publicity and distribution.
If you have the strength to produce but not the ability to publish, then it is the identity of a third party, and to put it bluntly, it is a factory.
In the face of a dazzling array of goods, it is no longer an era when the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.
If the product does have advantages, but the publicity is not in place, then in terms of sales, it is not surprising if it is surpassed by a product that is not as good as its own.
On the other end of the phone, after hanging up the phone, Mu Mengqi said to the girl next to her, "He Jing, is it okay now?"
"Hehe, of course you can, you've finally figured it out, I'm sure this company will exceed your imagination. "The person named He Jing is Mu Mengqi's good friend, from his original intention to high school and college!
"Why are you so sure? I know Zhang Han is a little annoyed, but he doesn't want to follow a small company thousands of miles away to act as a shield, right?
"Do you know what happened in the various game halls in the United States recently?" He Jing said as he handed the ticket to Mu Mengqi.
"Is it easy to make a thesis? I didn't officially submit it until yesterday, don't you know? Mu Mengqi glared at He Jing.
"Now, look, do you remember the arcade hall?" He Jing said as she stood up and pointed to an alley in the distance.
"Are you talking about the game hall opened by William Jr.? I remember when we passed by a while ago, didn't he say that he was going to resell the store? Who is it changing hands to now, so many customers are queuing?" Although Mu Mengqi could only look from the upper floor of the dormitory, he could also see a group of people waiting in a line more than ten meters long.
"Hehe, I had the same idea as you at first, but in the past few days, I have changed my mind. Haven't you been asking me a lot lately where I'm going to play all day? He Jing took out a silver game currency and handed it to Mu Mengqi, the game currency was very simple, with a clown painted on it, which was slightly funny.
"What? Are you all going over there to play? Don't you tell these people that they are all queuing up to play with Little William?" Mu Mengqi connected everything at once.
He Jing clapped her hands: "It is worthy of being a talented woman in our law, and I thought of it at once." ”
"Then I probably know, William Jr. suddenly so many people lined up, and it was impossible to complete the renovation in such a short time, so it was still a game hall, and suddenly so many people lined up, there was only one reason, there was an extremely popular and popular game that was introduced by William Jr. Mu Mengqi said calmly.
"Awesome, your head is running fast, basically correct, but a little bit of a discrepancy, it's not one game, it's two. He Jing smiled and said.
"Wait, are these two paragraphs..."
"That's right, it's a game made by Li Fangcheng's company, the company's name is Miracle Times, and you don't even need to check this, because the game will be displayed when it is turned on. ”
Hearing this, Mu Mengqi was dumbfounded.
Last time I said goodbye, how long has it been, and I really made two games that are so popular.
"At first, I didn't know, I thought it was a game, so I called a friend in Japan, and I was shocked when I asked. He Jing patted his chest and said in fright.
"What's the matter, is it also popular in Japan?" asked Mu Mengqi, who was aroused by curiosity.
"It's hard for you to imagine that the game halls of Japan have completely fallen in the past few days, and these two games have dominated the world. In order to play these two games, some players even forced the boss to buy or apply for a replacement baseboard, so they were detained for two days. He Jing said with an exaggerated face.
"So that's the case, I said, Zhang Han is thunder and rain, why would you use Zhang Han's reasons to persuade me. Mu Mengqi showed an expression that I knew was not simple.
"It's not like that, it's one thing to avoid Zhang Han, after all, he's nothing more than arrogant, if you refuse a few more times, he can't save face and continues to openly shout to chase you, just right, this Li Fangcheng invited you to go over to help, and it was also an opportunity, you probably can't imagine that this person has attracted the attention of Nintendo, if you don't help, your half of your relatives are very dangerous. He Jing looked at Mu Mengqi's eyes and said.
