Chapter Seventy-Four: Preparations for Attack
Before Caesar's FFF game company was established, many Japanese anime works had already been occupied by Caesar, and basically just drew a picture and left it alone.
He didn't think about it that much at the time, and the main reason for occupying the pit was to change the convenience of the game. Save the effort to think of a new IP, and the anime adaptation is convenient and profitable.
The depression of the comic industry, and the unfinished works of director Zhì Caesar did not make many waves. Caesar himself also has time to get so many comics, and this time ** for Marvel and DC to get it, it's just sour.
After Caesar acquired Marvel and DC, he immediately launched the four sports comics King Kong------ "Lightspeed Runner 21", "Baseball Heroes", "Slam Dunk" and "Football Player".
Among them, "Lightspeed Runner 21" and "Baseball Heroes" directly replaced the country with the United States, and the characters are also American.
Rugby and baseball, Americans kneel as soon as they see this content, and the content does not need to be changed drastically.
As for "Slam Dunk" and "Soccer Player", ...... Caesar originally wanted to use Bay Island or Xiangjiang as the background, and just set up a little virtual environment.
But thinking about the colonial history of Britain and Japan in the two places, and the various scolding wars of netizens in the memory of the two sides of the strait and the three places in the memory of the previous life, for Chinese readers, the sense of substitution is a little worse.
Caesar stomped his foot one last and created a virtual C1776 Marvel Universe.
In this universe, the Republic of Lanfang, established by the Chinese on the earth in Nanyang, has never perished.
Caesar drew "Slam Dunk" and "Soccer Player" against the backdrop of this Chinese country.
Since I put the background in any place on the two sides of the strait and three places, I don't think it's appropriate, so I simply don't let it go.
A virtual pure Chinese country with no background but historical origins, so that there is no sense of substitution, and thus there is a sense of substitution.
It's very winding!
In terms of names, Caesar directly allowed the Lanfang Republic to retain the traditional Chinese tradition of taking "characters".
In this way, any four-word name has the possibility of not losing the charm of the original in the previous life.
Sakuragi Hanamichi was changed to "surname Yingmingmu, word Hanamichi".
In fact, in the original Japanese name, "Sakuragi Hanamichi" is also a deep interaction between the name and the character in the Chinese tradition.
Sakura is a cherry blossom tree. Ikebana, of course, flowers grow on tree branches, the path of flowers.
Sakuragi Hanamichi means cherry blossoms that bloom on the branches.
In Caesar's previous life, the female junior high school English teacher was like this with her classmates.
Now there is a word called a serious nonsense, referred to as a book.
Of course, there are also gentlemen who call this a book......
In any case, Caesar was not relentless.
The four major sports are followed by Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, then Detective Conan and Kanedaichi, GTO, Seiko and Hokuto Fist.
When Caesar asked Jim Davis to help manage his comic studio, Caesar gave him a lot of unfinished sketches, including Fist of the Dipper.
At that time, Kaiser only drew one copy of "Fist of the Big Dipper", which was a brief explanation of the world view and how the Fist of the Big Dipper was a bull fork, and he left it alone.
Later, these bad works handed to Davis were forgotten by Caesar.
Because at this stage, comics really don't make money. At that time, Caesar was short of money to open a game company, and he basically didn't pay attention to things that didn't make money.
Davis once mentioned that he would animate some good works. But except for toys like "Transformers", even Caesar, a reborn person, can't guarantee that any work will have high ratings after it is animated.
I don't know if it's because of the legend's miraculous butterfly effect, Caesar found that at this time in this life, the animation industry is really tight. Every cartoonist is walking on thin ice and accidentally smashes the signboard.
Back to "Fist of the North Dipper".
In the previous life, "Fist of the North Dipper" was basically inspired by "Mad Max" starring Mel Gibson from the world view to the costumes and props.
And in this life, "Mad Max" is indeed the opposite, the screenwriter and director frankly said that the worldview and costumes and props of the film are influenced by Caesar's "Fist of the North Dipper......
After hearing this, Caesar sighed that the biggest advantage of rebirth is that many things can become particularly dramatic.
The most interesting thing in this regard is that because of the early appearance of "Transformers" and the popularity of the world, the prototype trilogy of "Battlestar", Japan's "Macross Fortress", "Macross Cavalry" and "Mecha Genesis" have been suffocated.
At that time, the Japanese were hot about the popularity of "Transformers", and many cartoonists followed the trend to make a lot of comics about the transformable machine qì people, but the cottage finally lost to the main owner, and many cartoonists smashed the signboard and were finally forced to change careers.
This time I held back other works with the theme of machine qì people.,Many comic editors when they are reviewing,As long as you look at the machine qì person theme,Go straight to the trash can.。
In this life, Japan is not to mention "Macross Fortress", and even "Gundam" has been suffocated.
Since "Transformers" landed in Japan a little ten years ahead of schedule, anime works such as mechs and mecha can be said to be a failure in Japan.
In Japan in 1984, the most popular was Yoshiki Tanaka's "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" animated version, "Alalei", "Cat's Eye Three Sisters", "Ultraman", "Dinosaur Express Kesai", "Three-Eyed Boy", "Machine Qì Cat".
Caesar didn't expect that he would have this benefit in getting "Transformers" out early.
I'm sorry, but Caesar laughed at Battlestar and Gundam.
Caesar's initial plan is that its FFF comic studios and DC will merge into Marvel, and then all the rights will also fall into Marvel's copyright library, including the large number of works that Caesar originally occupied the pit.
Jim Davis, Stan Lee, and Frank Miller were hired as Marvel's S-rated artists and senior advisors to management, and this combination was even hailed by the media as the Marvel Big Three.
Coupled with the selection of a professional manager from the original Marvel and DC, who is specifically responsible for distribution and marketing, the main framework of the new Marvel is formed.
All that remains is to continue these unfinished works, and the American localization will be localized, and the Japanese cultural tendencies will all be Chineseized by Caesar himself.
Marvel in Caesar's hands is definitely a drastic change.
The media didn't figure out Caesar's arrangements for Marvel for a while, and after watching Caesar's actions, they just thought that he wanted to rely on the new comics to make the comic market pick up.
Caesar did have this idea, after all, the Great Depression of the comic book industry in North America in the 80s had a lot to do with the lack of innovation.
But the final United Universe manga movie, Caesar still has to be kept secret.
Even if Marvel and DC have acquired it, they are theoretically not afraid of leaks, but Caesar's orders to the Big Three are still to be kept absolutely secret.
Since it's called a manga movie, there are comics, and there have to be movies.
Caesar didn't want to hold the rights to the comics, but let others hold his lifeline.
It's certain to cooperate with a big studio, and it's never good to always want to eat alone. But cooperation does not mean losing the initiative.
In order to gain the initiative, Caesar had to find a way to go the next step and buy a studio that had a good deal in distribution channels.
Colombia? Global? Paramount? Fox? Still is...... Disney?
That's a problem.
