"That person is Li Xiaole~!!" "Bastard~! There's a kind of stop!! "This guy is so rampant! You Chinese are dogs! ”

When the car drove into the gate of Shueisha, the security personnel of Shueisha hurriedly and nervously blocked the protesters outside, Maki Hokita, Koji Nakata only heard the rising angry abuse behind him, and watched Li Xiaole smile and shrink back from the window, they couldn't help but gasp, Maki Horikita looked back at the words on the window, and asked in a panic: "What did you write on the window?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just 'Militarist lackeys, please apologize for the Nanjing Massacre.'" Li Xiaole said disappreciatively, after all, he is a public figure, although he is angry and can only tease these right-wingers, but he can't be too out of line, so he didn't involve too sensitive issues, or with his temper, he would have written "Diaoyu Dao is China's".

This director is simply crazy, Maki Horikita almost fainted when he heard this, quickly reached out to erase the colored pen words on the back, turned his head to Koji Nakata with a paper-like face and asked, "Mr. Nakata, are you sure they didn't see us in the car......"

"It should be......" Koji Nakata was also very entangled when he heard it, but in the end he gritted his teeth and hummed: "If you see it, you can see it, anyway, the Japanese people don't care about politics, so let those right-wing fools call it." "He's an agent, as long as he can push his artists to the world, he doesn't care how those radicals react.

Horikita Maki's face was pale for a while, and she looked at Li Xiaole and her Hu Lai agent with some despair, now it's okay, she is completely tied to Li Xiaole, the Chinese director, and it's impossible to get rid of it...... What should I do~~ She, a national girl, has become a grasshopper on a rope with a Chinese nationalist director~!

When Koji Nakata went to park, Li Xiaole entered the hall on the first floor with Maki Horikita, who wanted to cry without tears, but what he didn't expect was that at the door, the president of Shueisha, Hideki Yamashita, personally came to greet him, and the short bald president was extremely polite, and said hello to Li Xiaole in the broken Chinese "Hello" he had just learned.

Seeing all this, the Shueisha employees next to them whispered that there was a lot of harmony here, but outside the building, there were shouts one after another, and the scene was really a bit strange.

"Close the windows, don't let those people make a noise to Mr. Li." Hideki Yamashita hurriedly instructed the secretary next to him.

"No, I don't." Li Xiaole smiled and stopped: "Just think of these voices as a welcome ceremony for me." Provoked these right-wing idiots to jump to their feet, which made him feel good, and Maki Horikita also listened to it and couldn't help muttering: "Perverted ......"

Li Xiaole exchanged pleasantries with Hideki Yamashita, who kept bowing, but was immediately attracted by another scene, that is, a meritorious corridor of Shueisha, from here to the elevator road was built into a wax museum-like passage, and plaster casts of animated characters of Shueisha's top writers were made according to the chronology.

On this road, you can see the glorious development history of Shueisha's "Shonen Jump" in its entirety, and Li Xiaole is also the first time to see the real genuine version of the "pirate" logo that has been seen countless times in books.

"The history of our "Shonen Jump" is the result of the painstaking efforts of countless authors, and here is to commemorate their best works, Mr. Li probably doesn't know them......" Hideki Yamashita smiled and wanted to introduce Li Xiaole, but Li Xiaole read as he walked:

"Hiroshi Hongmiya, the twin stars of Japanese manga in the silver age of the 70s, Hiroshi Nagai...... The four King Kongs that emerged in gold in the 80s, Akira Toriyama's "Aralei", Tetsuo Hara's "Hokuto God Fist", Yoichi Takahashi's "Football Player", and Masami Sadada's "Saint Seiya" ...... The three kings who brought "Shonen Jump" to its peak during the platinum period in the 90s, Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball", Yoshihiro Tomiyatsu's "Yuyu Hakusho" and "Hunter", and Yuhiko Inoue's "Slam Dunk" ...... "are all the manga artists of Shueisha."

This was not only very surprising for Hideki Yamashita, but even Maki Horikita was slightly surprised as a translator, but he didn't expect this arrogant Chinese director to have a lot of knowledge about Japanese comics.

Li Xiaole walked in this corridor of honor, it is indeed like looking back on his entire student time, these people themselves don't know that their generation of Chinese students, when they first came into contact with Japanese comics in the 90s, it was like experiencing a huge spiritual impact, think about it, what is it like to transition from "Gourd Baby" and "Black Cat Sheriff" to the passionate "Saint Seiya"? Now that I think about it, just hearing that theme song makes people's blood boil, throughout the 90s, Japan's accumulation of 30's manga masterpieces collectively exploded among Chinese students, not to mention, "Shonen Jump" also entered an unprecedented platinum period, and countless authors stirred the hearts and minds of teenagers.

During this period, Japanese animation masterpieces were frequently produced, and the quality was incredibly high, and all the characters who could be called talents, ghosts, and geniuses were actively concentrated in the square inch of one magazine after another.

During this period, a large number of excellent works emerged, such as "Chess Soul", "Rogue Kenshin", "Prince of Tennis", "Psychic King", "Kanedaichi", "Shengzi Dao" and "GTO".

With Tokyo as the center, followed by this wave of frenzy, Japanese animation also went out of Japan, radiated to Southeast Asia, and even the world, and "Shonen Jump" at the center of everything dominated the entire manga market with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, reaching an unprecedented 6.52 million sales.

At that time, Li Xiaole was just an ignorant teenager in high school with all kinds of dreams, holding these comic books like a treasure, at this time, when he stood here, he actually had the power to shoot these works at will, and he could even push these childhood memories to another one, all Japanese manga artists, animators have never thought of the realm, to surpass them ~~~ This feeling is really wonderful, all this seems to be like a dream~

Hideki Yamashita Li Xiaole's intoxicated expression, he felt very surprised, he didn't seem to see a director, but a cartoonist who had just entered the industry walked here, which also made a stone in his heart fall to the ground, it seems that Li Xiaole is indeed very interested in Shueisha's comics, not a complete layman, it seems that Li Xiaole is likely to agree to Shueisha's request......

A few people took the elevator to the 5th floor, Li Xiaole originally thought that the president's office of Shueisha would be a luxurious office, but he didn't expect it to be the case at all, Yamashita Hideki took them to a noisy editorial hall, they saw 3 groups of office seats, there were 7 or 8 people on each group of desks, the name tag on these people's desks was "Editor", and the name tag of one person sitting in front of each table was "Deputy Editor-in-Chief", and Hideki Yamashita's desk was in the innermost part of this editorial hall, and "Editor-in-Chief" The tables sit in rows.

Hideki Yamashita asked Li Xiaole and Maki Horikita to sit down on the sofa in front of his desk, and then asked the secretary to pour them two cups of tea and exchange a few words before bringing the topic to today's main topic.

"May I ask Director Lee, why did you choose to shoot our Shueisha work?" Hideki Yamashita looked at Li Xiaole anxiously and asked, will Li Xiaole, the great director, have other purposes for naming Shueisha?

"Because I really appreciate the style of Shueisha's manga stories." Li Xiaole took a sip of tea and said bluntly: "But unfortunately, I have watched a lot of theatrical versions of the manga that your company has awarded to Japanese films, but the level is not far from the manga itself, so I want to make a good animated film in my mind, first, to meet my personal wishes, and secondly, to point out a new direction for future animated films in Japan." ”

While translating, Maki Horikita sighed in his heart, "pointing out the direction for Japanese animated films" is simply too arrogant, Miyazaki doesn't dare to say that...... But from what Li Xiaole said, it seems so natural, after all, the director has created too many miracles, especially the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics and the new "Legend of the Condor Heroes" have caused a huge sensation in Japan, and the Japanese audience's worship of Li Xiaole has surpassed that of Ang Lee in the original "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"Well, I understand Director Li's heart, and I am very honored that an international director like you affirms our works." Hideki Yamashita nodded happily, and then said, "We, Shueisha, very much need a great director like you to bring our works to the big screen...... In principle, you can choose any of our works to adapt the film, but as you know, we also have our difficulties......"

Li Xiaole squinted and listened, of course he knew that things would not be so simple, the reason why he did not announce that he was going to shoot "Slam Dunk" this time was because he was afraid that the lion of Shueisha would open his mouth and ask for a price, so he would also have room for maneuver.

"You can make a price...... Li Xiaole interrupted him directly.

"No...... Director Li, it's our honor to adapt our work to the big screen, why do we ask for Li's money? Hideki Yamashita waved his hand again and again.

Li Xiaole's eyebrows immediately wrinkled when he heard this, he understood that usually "free" things are much more expensive than specific prices...

You must know that now "Shonen Jump" has fallen from an average of 6.2 million copies per issue in the peak period to an average of 2.79 million copies per issue last year, which is less than half of the peak period, which is less than half of the peak period......
