I believe many people may have heard of a work called "Chinese Bride's Diary" ("Chinese Wedding Day"). This work tells the story of a Japanese otaku in his 40s who is more than 10 years younger than himself, and the story of the Chinese bride Satsuki, who is more than 10 years younger than himself. And not long after the release of the fourth volume of the single book at the end of January, the author Junichi Inoue wrote about his involvement in a company's money dispute on his blog with the title "Satsuki is troubled". "Diary of a Chinese Bride" is a popular series that has sold more than 800,000 copies, so why did the best-selling cartoonist fall into the dilemma of having an empty wallet? Recently, in front of a media, Inoue confided the truth.

Inoue: When I made a temporary trip back to Japan last September, I found that I only had 400,000 yen in my company's bank account. Although I'm the president of the company, I basically live in China and focus on comics, and my salary is also paid by the company, so I am responsible for the company's financial resources, which are often transferred back and forth between the two countries.

I was surprised, what happened? In addition, the tax bureau also informed me that the company's account was also frozen because of the lack of tax payment. The staff member who was supposed to be responsible had been cut off, and I didn't get any useful information from them. So I didn't know what to do next, and I was shocked.

Q: What is the amount of late tax?

Inoue: Almost 15 million yen. However, such taxes are usually paid in a lump sum next month after I confirm it. And now that the bank account is only 400,000 yen, then naturally it is impossible to pay. If interest is added in the end, it is estimated that it will be 17 million yen. Seriously, this tax should be paid right away. Although I am out of the worst situation, I am already in a situation where I am unable to secure my living expenses by the time I know that my company is in arrears of taxes.

Q: In other words, I will have to pay the tax later.

Inoue: I'm going to explain the situation to the tax office. And then when talking about the situation of the company, the people in the bureau are also very sympathetic to me (wry smile). I used to think that the tax office was a terrible place, but the people there were very kind. After expressing my intention to pay taxes, the tax bureau did not continue to freeze my account and waited for me to pay in the future.

In order to solve the tax problem, I had to publish the fourth volume of "The Chinese Bride's Diary" and get the royalties, so I had to work hard to draw cartoons while negotiating with the staff who caused the problem and worrying about the company's cash flow. So, I felt that in order to survive, there was no other way but to draw comics in the current situation. If I didn't, I wouldn't be able to make it out. In addition, it is now time for a lawsuit, so when I drew the storyboard of "Satsuki is Troubled", I took this storyboard to the lawyer in charge of defense to check it before sending it out.

Q: Supposedly, the Silver Cross of which Mr. Inoue is the president of the company, should not be very bad in terms of performance.

Inoue: The Silver Cross Society was founded about eight years ago. Considering that I make zuò doujin figures in my own name and then have economic dealings with the Chinese side, it is more convenient to set up a company. After that, the company I was working with went out of business, and I took over the toy department of the other party, so the company became two parts: the manga production department and the figure planning department. And this time, the director has no money, and it is the figure department.

On the manga side, there is no need to worry about the deficit at all. I don't hire assistants either, so if I draw manga alone, I only have to pay myself. On the other hand, in order to draw comics, I can't put all my energy into figurines. I knew that a lot of money would be spent on the figures, so I left them to the relevant personnel and did not do a particularly detailed inspection, and as a result, we were in arrears of corporate taxes and accumulated tens of millions of yen in debt.

Q: Do you mean that it is because of the unsuspecting belief in others that it leads to the current shortage of funds?

Inoue: I'm going to have to deal with what is happening one by one. I can only apologize to those who have caused trouble. However, if you don't trust the staff, how can you work happily together? At least that's what I'm a person. Therefore, it seems to me that there is no zài: I don't believe in you, and give you back the situation of work.

Q: What is your total debt now?

Inoue: I haven't quite figured it out yet. We are currently in the process of arranging for an accountant to confirm the confirmation, but whether it is the printing house or some friends in China, I have more than 10 million yen in money that has not been repaid. It seems that they think it is impossible for a best-selling cartoonist to open a company without paying. I'm really guilty about them.

Q: In addition to these roughly unpaid funds, are there any other debt issues?

Inoue: In order to spread out these large payments, I took out a loan at the company, and basically used a multi-million yen figure mold as collateral. I repay the total amount of 20 million yen at a rate of about 500,000 yen per month, and there is still a difference of about 7 million yen. Usually everyone may think: since we have molds, let's hurry up and manufacture goods? But there are some molds that can't be used to make products. There are also some products that have been in the "planning" stage in recent years, and they are now all semi-finished products.

Q: How much has it affected you, including the semi-finished products?

Inoue: These are all my assets. If you don't make them into goods, you won't be able to make a profit, but you'll have to put the nearly 60 million yen worth of things here. At the same time, the corresponding taxes are accumulating.

Q: So what are these assets that have become liabilities?

Inoue: There are a lot of figurines of popular characters alone. For example, there are beautiful girl characters in some popular games that are considered to be perennial bestsellers, and popular characters in some well-known browser games. There may be fans who don't understand: obviously they are all such popular characters, so why can't they make a good handicraft to sell? Actually, it's because of the copyright attack (wry smile).

Q: Considering that those games are so popular as a social phenomenon, why don't you go on sale now......

Inoue: There's no way to sell it. Of course, I knew that the figurines would sell well. However, in my opinion, I can't accept the quality of the prototype figure. And if the Japanese prototype figure wants to make modifications, they have to start from scratch. And now the highly skilled figurines are very busy. I'm even thinking about using blogs to recruit prototype figures. I wonder if there is a prototype figure among my fans who raised their hands to sign up?

Q: If the copyright of "Chinese Bride's Diary" can offset the company's taxes and liabilities, will your life be guaranteed?

Inoue: It's been a tough month and a half. I signed a contract with Google, and although I can't tell you the exact amount, I am living on the advertising money of the blog "Chinese Bride Diary". At present, it can only be supported by advertising money for the time being. After all, both copyright and figurine income have been used to pay corporate taxes and debts.

A manga artist who sells 800,000 copies of his work will think that anyone must have a net worth of at least 10 million yen, right? However, I never expected that the person concerned would be penniless (laughs). And tax arrears can also lead to a lot of negative problems. No one would have thought that I was living a life of struggle with 10,000 yen (less than 600 RMB) (laughs).

Who do you think will be on fire? The next manga that will be a big hit

As a big country in manga, Japan has countless excellent works emerging every year. So which works have the potential to become popular? Recently, some Japanese media conducted a questionnaire survey and selected the TOP20 list of "Which manga do you want to sell next", as follows!

The work that won first place was "My Hero Academia". In a world where special abilities are common, Midoriya, the protagonist who has no abilities, also aims to become a hero because he longs for the relationship of the great hero Orumand. While having the essence of the royal road of juvenile comics, it also has some crying and homely temperament, and its weaknesses are also more obvious. This setting feels fresh and resonates with the reader. This work introduces us to a new heroic story that can be considered a strong contender for the next generation of shonen manga.

The next in second place is "The Bride of the Magician", and the third place is "The Tale of Isobe Isobei ~Ukiyo is very hard~". The former tells the wonderful story of an X-girl outside the human world, and the latter is a surprising ukiyo-e comedy. Both of these comics give us a new and interesting experience.

And one of the more significant features on this list is that many comics are born on the Internet. For example, "Teacher Nietzsche", which ranked fourth, was uploaded on Twitter by the original author Matsuko, and now has more than 3 million views, so it has caused a lot of conversation, and it has been transformed into a physical caricature. In addition, the sixth place "ReLIFE" is also one of the most popular webtoons at present, and the cumulative circulation of physical single books has reached 450,000 copies. This work is serialized on the manga website "Comico", and since it is a manga form, it is easy to browse on mobile phones. I hope you can enjoy such a different kind of fun.

As for the eighth place, "Helck" and the ninth place, "339 Years of Punishment", both belong to the "Risunday" nature works. They all have a unique world view that Weekly Shonen SUNDAY has not seen before, so they are very exciting. And the author of "helck" Nanao ナナキ was once ranked eighth in the "Hope to materialize webtoon" ranking with "ACARIA" (under the name of N-nanaki), which makes people pay attention to the author's own future performance.

Webtoons have grown very rapidly in recent years, especially for the younger generation, and have had a very big impact. There is no doubt that the market in this area will continue to expand in the future.

In addition, the youth sci-fi romance work "Orange" (12th) and "Inuyashiki" (18th), which has a non-human existence, are both attractive and excellent works. Overall, the "Which manga do you want to sell next" ranking is a ranking that is covered by "novelty". The manga artist's pursuit of a new world view and storytelling, as well as his unprecedented approach to the challenge, are all worthy of praise. And this is also conducive to the growth of webtoons, so every work on the list is worth paying attention to. Manga must not rest on its laurels, and must continue to improve with the aim of "bringing joy to readers". So when the new century of comics arrives in 2015, what surprises will we get? It's exciting!

Experts break the news! Toshio Suzuki on "Flowers and Alice"

On February 20 this year, the theatrical version of "The Murder of Flowers and Alice" will be released nationwide. This is also the latest theatrical work directed by director Shunji Iwai, who is loved by movie fans. And this is also the first time that director Shunji Iwai has challenged the work of a feature-length animation director, so it has caused a lot of discussion recently.

To commemorate the theatrical release, the Shunji Iwai Film Festival is currently underway at a cinema in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and fans can look back at the work of director Shunji Iwai. And on February 8, "Flowers and Alice", which is closely related to "The Murder of Flowers and Alice", was also released here. This work was first born in 2004, 11 years ago. And this time, "The Murder of Flowers and Alice" is also a prequel version of the original live-action adaptation into an anime.

The adaptation of a live-action work into an animated theatrical version was a very rare thing before. In this regard, former Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki used the opportunity of the festival to comment on the "Flowers and Alice" series. At the screening of the event, he talked about his experiences with director Shunji Iwai.

First of all, Suzuki, who has already seen "The Murder of Flowers and Alice", is full of praise for this work: "It can already be called a masterpiece." I found a feeling I hadn't seen in a long time. ”

In this regard, director Iwai broke the news: "Actually, I showed the script of "The Murder of Flowers and Alice" to Mr. Suzuki 10 years ago. At that time, I also asked Suzuki a lot about animation. It can be seen that although this is his first feature-length animation work, the birth of this work is definitely not a whim.

Talking about director Iwai's move to challenge the animation work this time, Suzuki admitted that he had actually realized the other party's talent in this area from the past: "Although for this work, I sighed: A person who is engaged in live-action works can actually produce such a great animation." However, Mr. Iwai's works have clear storyboards, so I've always believed that his words will definitely be able to animate. ”

This time, "The Murder of Flowers and Alice" uses a technique known as "repeating animation actions frame by frame". It's a technique of first taking a live-action image and then copying that image to create an animation.

"He said 10 years ago that he was going to try it. I remember being against it at the time. From Suzuki's words, it can also be understood that he has long known that director Iwai is interested in this technique. On this basis, he spoke highly of it: "After watching "The Murder of Flowers and Alice", I found that there is a new form of expression in this technique. ”

At the end of the event, director Iwai said, "Everyone will be able to see "The Murder of Flowers and Alice" soon, so please watch it with anticipation. For those of you who watched the live-action version today, I'll take a look at this work again after enjoying the animation.,I believe there will be a different kind of fun.。 ”

"The Murder of Flowers and Alice" is a prequel to "Flowers and Alice". As early as 2004's "Flowers and Alice", Apricot Suzuki, who played the flower, and Yu Aoi, who played Alice, brought us daily life, friendship and bits and pieces that were shaken by the relationship. And this time in the story, Alice, the strongest transfer student in history, meets the strongest family squat in history, and at the same time, there is a not-so-big murder in the world...... In other words, this is a story about the meeting of two heroines.

If that doesn’t beat all! The real age ranking of male voice actors

Voice actors play an important role in Japanese animation, animated films, foreign films, games, and other fields, and they are indispensable voice actors who define the characters who appear in the story, and they have captured the hearts of many audiences with their voices and acting skills. The voice actor uses a variety of voices to play different roles, including teenagers, young people, and even elderly people, and even plays roles of the opposite sex. This time, Google Japan did a survey on the real age of male voice actors, let's take a look at which voice actor's real age is the most unexpected!

"The most unexpected male voice actor ranking by real age"

1st place: Kazuhiko Inoue (60 years old)

Second place: Akira Ishida (47 years old)

Third place: Yoshitada Otsuka (60 years old)

Fourth place: Cha Fenglin (52 years old)

Fifth place: Tomoyuki Morikawa (47 years old)

Sixth place: Taketo Zi An (47 years old)

Seventh place: Keiji Fujiwara (50 years old)

8th place: Kenichi Suzumura (40 years old)

9th place: Ryoji Nakata (60 years old)

10th place: Hiroaki Hirata (52 years old)

The list is all well-known male voice actors, the first Kazuhiko Inoue, who successfully became famous in 1988 by starring in the role of Shiro Yamaoka in "Delicious Challenge". The character he plays, Shirou Yamaoka, is full of youthful vitality and integrity, and is a good young man worthy of the name. In recent years, although he rarely plays the leading role anymore, he has never stepped down from the front line, and he can be seen in many animations, such as Kakashi Hachiki in "Naruto" and the cat teacher in "Natsume's Friend's Account", and he even took on the role of sound supervisor in the animation production zuò. His voice was full of youth, but everyone seemed to ignore that he was born on March 26, 1954, which is not an exaggeration to be called an old grandfather!

As for Akira Ishida, who is in second place, his voice changes freely, and the roles he has played since his debut can be said to cover all ages, and he is now active in the front line of the dubbing industry like Kazuhiko Inoue. I believe everyone must know his role as "New World Evangelion" Kaoru Nagisa, we tried to recall Kaoru Nagisa's gentle and fresh voice, but we didn't expect this to be the voice of an uncle in his forties!

The third Otsuka Yoshitada, since his debut in 1976, has played a variety of roles such as a young man full of yang, a cold and thoughtful genius, and an intellectual full of mysteries, but when it comes to everyone's most well-known role, it should still be the role of Jiraiya in "Naruto". He is not only active in animation, but also in dubbing foreign language films. By the way, Tomoyuki Morikawa, who is ranked fifth, is also a popular voice actor in foreign language movies, and he is the royal voice actor of Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Keanu Charles Reevie.

The ten voice actors on the list are all long-term figures who have made great contributions to the voice acting industry. Even as they get older, their charm remains undiminished, and they convey the thoughts and feelings of the characters with their superb acting skills. In the future, I believe that there will be even greater achievements!

Psychometricians win! Japanese media rated "2014 Best Animation"

2014 can be said to be a year of countless animations that have sparked topics in the anime circle. Not only are there many animation works, but also some popular works and excellent works are constantly emerging.

Among them, the work that has received the most support from everyone is "Psychometrician". A new edited version of this work was released in the summer of 2014, and "Psychometric 2" began to be broadcast in the fall, and it can be said that it has had an impact on the audience from multiple angles. However, in this list, we refer to these two series collectively as "Psychometrician" for statistics.

In addition, in the previous ranking of the "2015 Theatrical Animation Expectation List", "Theatrical Psychometrician" has also won a lot of popularity among different groups, and many people hope that the work will continue to go on.

In second place is "Monthly Girl Nozaki-kun". The original manga of this work was serialized in "GANGANONLINE" and has a good popularity among female audiences. Of course, judging from the results of the questionnaire alone, many male viewers are also very supportive of this work, and have issued a call for a sequel.

The third place was based on the manga "Volleyball Shonen !! The adaptation of the animation of the same name, the second season of the work has been announced, and it is conceivable that the popularity in 2015 will be even higher. In fourth place is the second season of Sword Art Online, which is only one vote behind the former in this vote.

At the same time, TV original animation also maintained a strong competitiveness, and in addition to the No. 1 "Psychometrician", the fifth ranked "ALDNOAH. "ZERO" and "White Box", which ranked seventh, are both works that everyone is talking about. Just looking at the enthusiasm of fans of the two works, it is not surprising that they are on the list this time. In addition, in sixth place is "Do you want to have some rabbits today?" that has already been confirmed to produce the second season of the anime. 》。

While TV animation occupies a major position, the eighth work is "ExpelledfromParadise-ExpelledfromParadise-" which was released in the form of a movie theater.

Stability's misrecognition rate: Emi Ogata was chased to the women's bathroom

Emi Ogata, best known for her role as Shinji Ikari in "Neon Genesis Evangelion", visited Hong Kong two days ago to participate in the "LantisFestival2015" performance, but she encountered a ridiculous incident in Hong Kong - she was chased away by the cleaning aunt when she went to the women's bathroom and was reprimanded to "go to the men's bathroom".

Emi Ogata, who was kicked out of the women's bathroom by her cleaning aunt in Hong Kong, immediately posted to her fans about it, but she didn't seem angry, but said humorously: "I was just kicked out of the women's bathroom by my big sister who was a cleaner in the grade, and she called me to go to the men's bathroom." It is said that her agent was also at the scene at the time of the incident, and she smiled mercilessly and complained: "Sure enough, the whole world is the same everywhere."

Emi Ogata then posted a photo of herself wearing a costume at the time. With blonde hair and a handsome man's clothes, it's no wonder that people are mistaken for men, and she also said, "After all, wearing such clothes, there is no way to do it!" Not only was he not angry, but he seemed to think it was reasonable to be kicked out of the women's bathroom.

The entertaining eviction was even featured on the "Yahoo! Japan Yahoo! News page. After seeing the news report, Emi Ogata responded to it on her own Twitter: "I didn't expect that even the tweet sent by my friend to complain about me was also on the news ( ̄▽ ̄;; However, I think this report is still full of love, so it doesn't matter. Anyway, sorry to bother everyone. I'll keep a low profile in the future! (－－; Only for private life, of course! ”

Seeing such a character Lotte (?) Egumi Ogata, fans also expressed their peace of mind, and even made a joke about Ogata together, and Ogata himself seemed to have a lot of fun!
