Chapter 89: Shueisha
The plane that took off from the airport landed at Narita Airport again.
Stepping off the plane, Qin Yuanfeng took a deep breath of exotic air. Looking at the endless stream of tourists around me, I felt a little emotional.
This is the third time I have come to Japan, the first time was to go to Heiankyo, the headquarters of Nintendo, the second time, I spent that unforgettable Christmas Eve at the Sega headquarters in Tokyo, and now, the third time.
As the company grows bigger and bigger, there will be more and more opportunities for him to come to Japan, but sooner or later, he will have Japanese customers contact him in person in Hong Kong!
He put on his sunglasses, and this time he was still alone, and although Yamato Nadeshiko was obviously more familiar with Tokyo, he didn't want the other party to come with him at all.
An omni-channel line, no one should be able to see anything, and he wants to launch the company's brand at one time, so that players will agree with the game festival he organizes, and even if other companies react, it will be too late.
The famous Shueisha is located in an easy-to-find location, and almost everyone knows it in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward.
With a gentle brake sound, the car stopped steadily in front of the Shueisha building, Qin Yuanfeng got out of the car, and at first glance saw the wall engraved with the three big characters of Shueisha.
He walked over with great interest, and only then did he realize that there were two other people beside him.
The three of them did not speak, but silently looked at the three strong big characters.
"This is the mecca of anime all over the world......" It took a full dozen seconds for a man next to him to muttered to himself with emotion.
Shueisha, Shogakukan, Kodansha, and Kadokawa Shoten are known as the four major anime societies, forming the dominance of anime in all of Japan, and even in Asia, and in the world!
"This gentleman, you're here to submit the manuscript too?" Another man asked.
Qin Yuanfeng lost his mind slightly, these three words brought him countless memories, from the machine qì cat when he was a child, to Dragon Ball, to Youyou Baishu, a slam dunk master...... All the way to the big sword in the back, One Piece......
It can be said that his childhood memories, in addition to the Chinese villain books, are the comics produced here.
He never thought of working with Shueisha one day, but now, he is standing at the door of Shueisha, looking for a manga genius.
Hearing the other party's inquiry, he came back to his senses and looked at the two of them, one in his twenties and the other in his thirties, dressed very ordinarily, the man in his thirties didn't even shave his stubble, and his head was draped to his shoulders, which was quite consistent with the word comic house in ordinary people's impressions.
"No, I'm here for something to do, you're here to contribute?"
"Of course!" When the young man said this, his face flushed with excitement, "This is the center of manga in all of Japan!" No matter how cruel the competition is, I have the determination to break through! β
Qin Yuanfeng looked at the two of them, both holding thick brown paper bags in their hands, obviously their own manuscripts. For people with dreams, he will never be mean and vicious, and said with a smile, "I wish you all a single book as soon as possible." β
"Thank you." The young man hurriedly bowed and thanked him, the cruelty of Shueisha's competition, and the single book was almost the greatest desire of an unknown manga artist like them. As for animation, they didn't even think about it.
Qin Yuanfeng said goodbye to the two with a smile, and walked slowly into this mansion that was famous at home and abroad.
The interior structure is no different from that of other office buildings, but it is crowded with people, and as soon as he entered, he saw more than a dozen manga artists from all over Japan sitting in the lobby, holding their manuscripts as if they were treasures, and looking at the crowded hall with longing and anxiety.
He shook his head secretly, the competition in Shueisha was so cruel that it was unimaginable for the layman. Before the crossing, many websites disclosed how the world-famous "Youth Jump" selected the manuscript, which is simply raising Gu, even if it is a famous artist, he will never be soft when he cuts it in half.
None of these people in the hall will be able to sit here in a year's time.
He walked to the front desk and said, "I am the Hong Kong Qinhuang Dynasty Company, and I have an appointment with the director of your company's Asakura. Please inform me. β
"Wait a minute." The front desk quickly flipped through the information book, and in less than ten seconds, he smiled and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Qin, please wait a minute, please go up to room 531 on the fifth floor, and I will immediately inform the head of the Asakura Division, and he will be there to greet you." β
Qin Yuanfeng nodded and went up, although the assets of Shueisha were not as good as Sega, they were more than ten times that of the Qin Dynasty, and the corresponding company sent the corresponding figures, which was not to look down on him.
Room 531 arrived quickly, and unlike the hall downstairs, this floor was filled with an air of rage.
That's right, it's anger, and the moment he stepped out of the elevator, he heard a lot of quarrels, and even the thick door couldn't hide the roar that echoed in the hallway.
Walking a few steps in surprise, suddenly, with a "bump", a door was suddenly pushed open, and a twenty-three or four-year-old man with glasses rushed out like a bull with a lit tail, grabbing a paper bag.
As he rushed, he shouted "I will never compromise!" This is an insult to my review work! I vouch with my soul! It's going to be a big hit! β
His face was red, his ears were red, and the tendons on his neck were jumping. However, an even more angry roar came from inside the door, "Uehara! This is to make your chosen piece even more popular! You stick to stereotypes and despise market changes, and you can only lead to zhΓ¬ works cut in half in advance! β
"Even if you cut it in half, I will not allow you to trample on my dignity!"
With a loud bang, the door was slammed shut, and Uehara Tieqing looked at Qin Yuanfeng, who was not far in front of him, with a blue face, and walked away with a hum like a bullfight.
Qin Yuanfeng looked at the other party's back, and then looked at the mark on the door.
Good, 531.
It seems that this Asakura section chief is a roaring emperor......
He straightened his face and gently pushed the door open.
Inside the door, a man in his forties was drinking tea to extinguish the anger in his heart, and when he heard the door knocking, he didn't raise his head and roared, "What are you doing here?!" If you don't let him modify it, you will wait to be cut in half! This work will not live for more than a month! I promise! β
Qin Yuanfeng coughed with a smile, Chaocang felt that something was wrong, and when he raised his head to look, his face was full of anger and suddenly turned like the spring sun turned into snow, and he quickly piled up the enthusiasm of summer.
"It's Mr. Qin, right? You may be seated, I was already told at the front desk. Sorry, one of the editors in charge of this lesson and I had a slight disagreement of opinion, so you can see the joke. β
Are you sure it's just "a little bit of a disagreement?" β
But he was relieved to think of the incessant scolding on the entire floor. It seems that every room is having "a little disagreement." β
"Mr. Qin, we already know your intentions." Asakura's smile is extremely harmonious, these are the God of Wealth, you can't be lazy, "I heard that your company wants to find a cartoonist to do the original art setting for your company's game?" β
"Yes." Qin Yuanfeng nodded, smiled and took the tea handed over by Asakura, Shueisha's style may be because of its business, which is slightly different from other companies, there are not so many mutual temptations, but a more direct way of talking.
"However, before I do that, I want to check what is the difference between your company's pricing for the cartoonists and what I have collected."
"It's easy." Chaocang turned around and took a thick stack of materials from the side, "Please Qin Jun take a look." β
While Qin Yuanfeng was watching, he explained, "The price of making the original painting for the game is not the same, and the headquarters is divided into two ways, one is a propaganda poster, and the other is a setting." β
"Posters take a long time and are generally used to promote games. The price is negotiable with the cartoonist. The setting is divided into three levels by the company, Qin Jun, please see. He pointed to the above line and said, "The first class is naturally the most popular cartoonist today." Akira Toriyama, Masami Mada Cheda, Tsukasa Hojo, Rumiko Takahashi four. Among them, Akira Toriyama was the highest, with a price of three million dollars. The price of the other three is flat at 1.5 million. β
"The second level is well-known manga artists, such as Yuzo Takada, Naoko Takeuchi, Chie Saito and others, whose price fluctuations are greatly affected by the popularity of their current works, and they are generally negotiable, but not more than five or six hundred thousand dollars. We have here the latest works popular Cheng dΓΉ information, Qin Jun if needed, I can call the shots for Qin Jun to read. β
"The third estate...... he smiled, "is the rest of the cartoonists." β
"They may not have a name for their work, but the manga artists who can be included in Shueisha have one thing in common. That is, their painting is very good. Or rather, very recognizable. He kindly and tactfully reminded that "depending on the company's schedule, it is actually very economical to hire cartoonists of this class." And their asking price is also very cheap, at most ten thousand dollars, several thousand dollars more. It won't be any higher. β
Qin Yuanfeng's brows moved slightly, he saw what the other party said. It's just that the class differentiation in this is stricter than he imagined, from the first echelon to the third echelon, which is hundreds of times different.
He asked quietly, "These manga artists all have contracts with Shueisha?" β
"Of course." Asakura smiled and said, "Otherwise, other companies will poach each other, and Shueisha will suffer a lot of losses." β
Although Qin Yuanfeng asked very tactfully, he obviously heard the meaning of Qin Yuanfeng's words, if he could, the other party hoped to have his own clever painter, but this kind of idea hit the famous cartoonists of Shueisha, and he had to remind him.
Shueisha can be signed by Shueisha has all kinds of potential, it can be said that it is not surprising that someone suddenly became a god at some time, and they are not sure who will become the next Akira Toriyama.
Everyone has potential, and they can't let one go.
Qin Yuanfeng sighed secretly, if it weren't for the lack of funds, he really had the intention of eating Shueisha.
He closed the notebook gently, thought about it for a while, and said, "Well, what about the assistant?" β
