On Wednesday, Shueisha's official website, which had been silent about the cooperation with Black Pearl, suddenly appeared in the news, informing that on Saturday afternoon, Shueisha will hold a media conference at Tokyo Big Sight, announcing a major cooperation with Black Pearl, and hopes that interested media and manga fans can attend.

The media is most interested in which comic Li Xiaole wants to change, everyone is obviously inclined to "Naruto", "One Piece", "Death", the three major manga currently serialized, after all, the theatrical versions of these works have been launched, and the popularity is hot, and this kind of bloody fighting type of animation is not exactly the best theme for 3D?

As for the "Dragon Ball" and "Saint Seiya Hades Chapter" that are widely rumored on the Chinese Internet, the Japanese media think that it is unlikely, and if Shueisha dares to sell the copyright to the Chinese side, I am afraid that it will be collectively bombarded by all the media.

The Asahi Shimbun newspaper conducted a poll for this purpose, and more than 750,000 fans across Japan participated in the survey.

Among them, 43.4 percent believe that Li Xiaole will shoot the three popular manga of "Shonen Jump", 28.7% think that it will be one of the "Saint Seiya" and "Dragon Ball" that are popular with Chinese readers, and 11.9% think that it will be "Beidou God Fist", and the rest choose other works......

As for "Slam Dunk"? Few people choose, after all, Inoue Yuhiko can't even handle Toei and Shueisha, let alone a Chinese.

Which of Japan's cultural treasures will the Black Pearl Company steal? The Japanese media can't wait to find out......

On Saturday, the media conference between Black Pearl and Shueisha was held at the Tokyo Big Sight, the venue where the Tokyo Anime Festival has been held countless times, and at this time it has been arranged as a Shueisha anime theme park, and the gum "Luffy" model at the door poses the "Rubber Giant Battle Axe", and the venue is full of comic fans of cosplay manga characters, Sasuke who is tied with a headscarf and breathes flames, and on his head and neck he wears a hair ornament "Star Chain", which only the nobles have the right to wear, and a scarf called "Silver White Wind Flower Veil" is tied around his neck. The captain of the sixth team of the thirteenth team of the court "Kuchiki Hakuya".

Of course, the most popular is the "Kinkmura Kenshin" who is wearing a samurai costume with a "reverse blade", as well as veteran characters such as "Vegeta" and "Goku" in Dragon Ball, and even the girl waitresses at the scene are wearing "movie girl" costumes, delicately leading the participants into the venue......

The manga artists from Shueisha have their own autograph counters, and manga fans are lined up in long lines waiting to take photos with their idols.

However, the popularity of these shows is obviously not as popular as wearing various anime character costumes, cute and sexy showgirls to please comic book fans, a bunch of middle-aged comic book fans, squatting on the ground with expensive camera equipment, looking for all kinds of sexy characters to photograph these scantily clad young girls, everyone has an expression of obsessed excitement on their faces.

The real nervousness at the scene was the media reporters, they were all observing what comic themes were being vigorously promoted, and wanted to guess the theme of the anime movie that Black Pearl was about to shoot this time, although some people didn't see the characters of "Slam Dunk", but everyone was thinking about the grievances between Inoue Yuhiko and Shueisha, and they didn't feel any surprises, and they didn't aim at this work at all.

Fujii, the editor-in-chief of Shueisha in the background, saw hundreds of reporters from all over the world at the scene, and couldn't help but smack his tongue, and sighed to the president next to him, Hideki Yamashita: "Alas, we hold so many events every year, and the reporters who come are not even one-tenth of what they are today......

This is the first time in many years that the entire media community has focused on Shueisha, and you must know that even when "Hunter" was republished, there was no such big battle......

"That's why we're working with Black Pearl." Hideki Yamashita smiled with satisfaction: "Li Xiaole is indeed a topic of conversation, he can drive popularity wherever he goes, if he can stay in Shueisha, our sales will definitely continue to rise, maybe we can sell "Shonen Jump" to China." ”

The editor-in-chief, Fujii, was also slightly surprised when he heard this, the eighth president of Shueisha was obviously much more ambitious than his predecessor...... But it's no wonder that he is so confident, Li Xiaole is really a magical character...... Of course, as long as "Attack on Titan" fails to be serialized this time, then Li Xiaole's name will be tied to Shueisha, and the future of Shueisha is indeed promising.

At the same time, in a private club in Los Angeles, animation directors Chris Sanders and Dean Deblos, who have worked together with "The Lion King", "Mulan" and "Star Baby", were all soaking in the bathtub and watching the live broadcast of the big-screen pirate station on the wall.

"Dean, what do you think this guy will come up with to compete with our How to Train Your Dragon?" Chris Sanders smiled lazily.

"Unless it's Pokemon, other Japanese comics don't have a global ......," Dean Deblos, an Oscar regular, commented.

"It's true that Japanese anime is too young and too unattractive for audiences over 16 years old, and he should actually make a theme like "Kung Fu Panda" that is suitable for all ages." Chris Sanders said.

"Who knows...... This guy is unexpectedly ...... every time" Dean Deblos spread his hands and smiled: "But no matter what work he comes up with, "How to Train Your Dragon" will be the best animated movie today~"

At this time, the Tokyo Convention and Exhibition Center has squeezed in 104,590 people, exceeding the record of last year's Tokyo Game Show, but all sectors are in order, at this time Li Xiaole is wearing a straight white shirt, sorting out his tie in the background, his body is thin and straight, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, high-spirited, and his expression is calm and calm.

Next to her, she was wearing a cute high school sailor suit, wearing delicate light makeup, and her elegant face was the bright breath of a girl, with a refreshing student head that had just been straightened, she was very pure and cute, but she obviously had something in her heart, she just lowered her head and played with her fingers, and she didn't dare to look outside at all, she knew what terrible things would happen next......

Outside, after Shueisha President Hideki Yamashita announced the start of the press conference, Li Xiaole said to Maki Horikita with a smile: "Miss Horikita, let's go, it's time for us to appear, harden our scalps, and prepare to be scolded." ”

"Scold, scold." Yuhiko Inoue, who was wearing the uniform of the Xiangbei team next to him, said disapprerovingly: "No matter how much you scold, I will have this 'Japanese traitor' in front." ”

Li Xiaole nodded calmly, took the lead with Maki Horikita, picked up the microphone, swallowed a mouthful of saliva gently, and looked down calmly at the people sitting in the theater, so that everyone in the audience felt his confidence and calmness:

"Friends from the media, distinguished guests, hello everyone, I am Li Xiaole of Black Pearl, I feel very honored to be able to invite you to participate in the press conference of the cooperation between Black Pearl and Shueisha today, thank you, and now please let me introduce my partner to you this time......

Before everyone could react, they saw Yuhiko Inoue walking out of the backstage with a serious face, and the flashes under the stage were immediately connected, "Papa~Pada~" In the sound of shooting, all cameras were aimed at Inoue Yuhiko.

The audience also exclaimed: "It's Yuhiko Inoue!?" Could it be that the movie Li Xiaole is going to shoot this time is "Slam Dunk"!? "Oh my God~~ How could Yuhiko Inoue agree~?" "It's not wrong, Inoue Yuhiko is wearing the uniform of the Xiangbei team~~ No wonder Maki Horikita is wearing a high school student sailor suit~~ Is she playing Haruko?"

In the entire Tokyo International Convention and Exhibition Center, when Inoue Yuhiko appeared on the large display screen, there was a burst of exclamations, and the voices of 100,000 people came and went.

Li Xiaole looked at the people below, the faces that were either surprised, confused, or angry, in bursts of exclamation and discussion, handed the microphone to Inoue Yuhiko, Inoue Yuhiko moistened his throat, and said loudly:

"This time our cooperation with director Li Xiaole is to shoot the unfinished national competition chapter of the animated version, the set is about two hours, there will be a few minutes of plot review at the beginning, all the classic scenes and characters we will reset, we will bring you a completely different "Slam Dunk" from the previous one."

The people below listened to a burst of discussions, and exclamations, and many more people looked shocked, what? Inoue Yuhiko wants to hand over the most classic national competition to this Chinese!? How can this be!? You must know that the national competition of "Slam Dunk" has been expected by slam dunk fans all over the world for many years, and Inoue has not let go of any Japanese animation company...... How can you hand over Japan's national treasure manga to a Chinese production company?

Inoue Yuhiko also looked a little ugly in the face of the heavy criticism of the people below, and tried to explain: "I know that you may not understand my decision, but I want to say that Mr. Li Xiaole is not only a film director, but also a great cartoonist, his achievements in comics are not lost to me, and his love and understanding of the comic "Slam Dunk" also deeply touched me...... Everyone, please take a look...... This is the most advanced motion capture technology we're going to use in our films~~"

At this time, the big screen began to play footage of various NBA stars doing motion capture, but except for a few comic book fans in the audience, they exclaimed: "Oh my God~ It's LeBron James~~ Is he playing Sakuragi?" "Kobe Bryant joined in!? I'm not mistaken~~" Most of the others are confused, obviously for Japan, where basketball is not popular, not many people know these NBA stars......
