Chapter 158: Done
Chapter 158: Done
Following.
The bedroom of Tadashi Fujimaki, a super otaku Tadashi Fujimaki and a basketball author who is also Kuroko, is less than 8 square meters and is full of draft drawings, welcomed two visitors.
Ma Xun, a senior designer of Chaoshen Sports, and a cute girl illustrator and manager of Toei Animation Co., Ltd.
The two of them carried a large number of figures, sneakers, nutrition express, and instant noodles in large bags and small bags.
Tadashi Fujimaki's pupils dilated after seeing the nutrition express:
"Come on, what are you doing with so many things?"
"A little heart, our boss must send it!"
"Thank you Mr. Jiang for me, I'm flattered!"
Fujimaki Tadashi is not Inoue, he is a newcomer in the manga circle, I didn't expect the real basketball boss to send someone to find him, and his head was going to bow to the ground.
After that, Ma Xun took out the Curry generation, the Harden generation, and James 10, KT4, and pink coconut These five pairs of shoes were placed in front of Tadashi Fujimaki:
"Cartoonist, let's send you a few pairs of shoes to try on, I don't know your size, let's feel it first."
Tadashi Fujimaki is a super otaku, except for watching anime and drawing anime, he has very little personal information, and if it weren't for the weekly boy having his mailing address, he wouldn't even be able to find him.
And his shoe size was also estimated by the previous visual inspection of this cute girl.
You must know that Tadashi Fujimaki did not have a single photo of himself circulated on the Internet in later generations, which shows how much he stays at home.
"It's ......"
Although Tadashi Fujimaki is not a person who loves shoes, he is a person who loves beauty, and the good-looking nature of these shoes, as well as the exquisite design of the shoebox, make him a little loved.
Theoretically, designers and cartoonists are from the same school, so Ma Xun and Fujimaki Tadashi quickly found a common topic.
Ma Xun explained his intention at this time and told the author about Jiang Chao's marketing strategy.
"Yes! I can even draw a story to pay tribute to Slam Dunk! ”
The author of "Kuroko's Basketball" suddenly lit up, the first was that he was shocked when he heard so much money, because it was a permanent buyout of the animation sneaker brand endorsement and the comic endorsement after today, so Jiang Chao offered a number that could not be refused.
The second is that in fact, he has been suffering from sneakers for a long time, from the slam dunk master to his basketball game, more than ten years have passed, but the sneaker market is still so bad, AJ1 black and red is still the hottest pair of shoes on the market.
So a lot of his shoes are a little bit of a little bit of a Velcro or something that he designed himself, otherwise it's okay to wear AJ all of them.
But other sports brands really don't have any good products, and there are too few products that are famous all over the world.
"That couldn't be better, that scene was my youth."
"Me too! Sodexo gives! ”
"Kawaine!"
A few people chatted enthusiastically, The author refers to the classic scene where Haruko went to buy basketball shoes for Sakuragi Hanamichi, and the bargaining with the boss was simply laughing to death, and through that scene of the plot, how many people bought this pair of AJ1 to commemorate their dead youth!
However, Inoue Yuhiko definitely didn't get AJ's endorsement fee when he painted this scene, it was purely no material, and these were the famous boots of Danzi, the god of basketball at that time.
Later things are known to shoe fans all over the world, Slam Dunk is out of control, AJ1 and Slam Dunk are directly co-branded, aj1 Xiangbei color and AJ5 Liuchuan maple color are sold out as long as they are reproduced, and they have become the most classic joint name of the AJ series.
Has the company lost money recently?
Oh, okay, Sakuragi Hanamichi color scheme will be reproduced with tens of thousands of pairs!
Complaining that I don't have a new product?
AJ1 plus a Mitsui Kotobuki color! Directly another wave of big sales!
"But I didn't know that my comic would bring such feelings?" Tadashi Fujimaki pointed to the vintage poster of Haruko Akagi hanging on his wall, and then picked up the Curry generation and took a closer look.
I was shocked when I just got it in my hand:
"Dude, is this the weight of a basketball shoe?"
"Lightweight guard basketball shoes, they don't have to be that heavy."
After 5 minutes......
"It's really suitable for sunspots to wear, will it come out of the blue color of sunspots?"
"Yes, you can design and paint." Ma Xun expressed his opinion for Jiang Chao, that is, since he wants to co-brand, simply let the basketball author of the sunspot come by himself, and the sunspot color matching!
"Good! I took it! ”
Fujimaki Tadashi has to admire Jiang Chao's imagination and the imagination space given to him, which is for him to create a pair of super sports basketball shoes that belong to Kuroko!
It's not that there is no two-dimensional endorsement, but he is very excited to take a fancy to him!
And the manga artists are all unique, he doesn't want to be the next Yuhiko Inoue, he just wants to be Tadashi Fujimaki!
If it weren't for the fact that the comics had been published before, he would have wanted to change all the shoes he had drawn before, but it's okay, just add a plot like this, and from today onwards he will be a person of Super God Sports!
"Wait a minute, Mr. Tadashi Fujimaki, let me remind you one last time, are you sure that you will not be disgusted with ad placement?" For the sake of the sales plan, the cute girl of the animation club made the final confirmation.
"It's also about the plot to be disgusted, and the logo of the Chaoshen Group is not ugly, I won't say it alone, because my characters are supposed to wear shoes, I can't wear shoes, Nike doesn't give money, I'm not popular, it's okay."
Ma Xun hurriedly said:
"Our boss specially explained, there is no need to print the Tai Chi Fish logo of Chaoshen Sports, try to design first."
Jiang Chao knew that he couldn't get to the point, just like suddenly giving a close-up of Red Bull in Transformers, specifically explaining that this shoe is from the Chaoshen Group, but the effect will not be good, so that comic book fans can find the source of these shoes because they look good, isn't it better?
Otherwise, if you keep a super word dangling on the screen, you will declare that you will take the master.
Jiang Chao didn't want to affect the later popularity of this anime because of his advertising placement.
"Okay." Fujimaki was soon signed.
A teenager like him is a tendon, he has been paying attention to this player named Curry recently, and he is a little excited to think that he may be able to really see Curry in the future.
"Then thank Kuroko and Vulcan for wearing our shoes, and I also wish Master Fujimaki a big sale, and our company will call your card later, and pay it in one lump sum." Ma Xun is very proud at this time, Chaoshen Sports has exploded recently, and it is no problem to find as many endorsements as possible.
He reported the good news to Jiang Chao on the spot, Jiang Chao, who had just woken up from the arms of the beauty, received a call and came to the bathroom with a bare~ six-pack upper body to wash:
"Yes, well done Ma Xun, the future supergod generation will become the feelings of this generation of young people."
"If that's the case, it's too cool!"
Here, Fujimaki also greeted Jiang Chao politely, and said that he bought the shoes he sent at the original price, and wore them for a few days, and finally determined who wore which shoes was more suitable, after all, each player in his comics had a different position. ”
"No problem, you have to have such a rigorous spirit to make comics, Fujimaki-san." Jiang Chao gave him a thumbs up, but he was also full of confidence in himself, and the final result was 100% that the Vulcan wore the shoes of the 10th generation of James, which was the first generation of their super gods!
Later, while eating sushi, Ma Xun and the two listened to the comic boss talk about the reasons for creating this comic and the real thoughts in the face of questions from the outside world, and also answered the cute girl's statement positively:
"Actually, "Kuroko's Basketball" admittedly has demonic exaggeration and powerless complaints, but in front of the mountain of "Slam Dunk", do you still have to follow the old road of realistic basketball?
Many elements of Kuroko are relatively similar to hot-blooded comics such as the Hokage.,As for whether it's rotten or not.,Even if it's a normal narrative in the sports fan, there will be sister paper as a rotten drama to watch.。
And it's impossible for anime to get a bunch of people with a red wood gorilla painting style to get together to play basketball, if they all look so strong, there may not be a problem of rot or not, and even the audience is scared away hahaha. ”
The author's personal explanation can actually be summed up in one sentence:
"I just drew the characters handsomely, what you think is your business."
In fact, his idea is quite absolute.,Jiang Chao thinks that this kind of fan that the author doesn't deliberately create the base is the best base fan.,The audience will be wider.,Boys should be seen as hot-blooded brothers.,Girls can lick their appearance.。
And he, just rely on the influence of this comic to make money.
The back is this chattering otaku who has turned on the spit mode, what is the current sneaker getting thicker and thicker and more piled up, and the pile of technology leads to the fact that the sneakers can only be worn on the court, and the bombing street can only wear commuter running shoes.
Then there is a scolding of Converse, Converse cricket shoes are the shoes that appeared the most in anime in the last century, and they are also the brainless brand in the sneaker category that surpassed Nike in sales for a while.
Don't look at it as a trendy shoe now, what is the high top used for?? But it's used to protect the player's heel.
A rubber outsole goes all over the world, and the foot feels like garbage forever, but someone will always like it.
Jiang Chao: "Yes, it can be regarded as a brand signed with Magician and Big Bird Bird, and it's not good to just want to make money." ”
More than ten years ago, many players did wear canvas shoes to play, and the rubber outsole was quite stable like the Zoom air cushion at that time.
But now these retro shoes are constantly reproduced after the street boys and beauties are wearing, long out of the category of sneakers, has become an easy-to-wear fashion model, completely out of the basketball shoe circle, the main fashion circle, is the existence of AJ1 in commuter shoes, and the color matching is invincible.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chao looked at the door, Liu Yan posed at the Air Force One that was about to be thrown away, these shoes were actually basketball shoes debut, and later became Nike's fashion shoes.
The idea of the four is why these pairs of board shoes will be eliminated by the basketball shoes market, that is, the era will choose shoes that are more comfortable and more suitable for ordinary fans to become the mainstream, you must know that AJ and Adi are the icebreakers of the last century, and their addition makes basketball shoes really bloom.
The slam dunk master happened to meet at that time, and there are details that Akagi Goken is wearing Converse, and Coach Anzai is wearing Adi, but they are all covered by Nike, which was popular at that time.
In the end, the cartoonist and the cute girl said a few words that greatly benefited the owners and designers of Chaoshen Sports, that is, lightness and stability always come first.
Fashion shoes are fashion shoes, why do basketball shoes mislead people? How many people have broken their feet.
Youmu has considered the feelings of flat-footed people!
Their advice to Chaoshen Sports is that basketball shoes don't forget the original intention, don't let the players get injured is the first, and making money without joint names is the second.
Of course, this is a pure customer perspective.
Later, Converse apparently realized that they couldn't make money from basketball fans, and they didn't make new basketball shoes at all, and they didn't want to sell retro models until they died.
20 minutes later.
The chat came to an end, and after Fujimaki praised the Harden generation, Fujimaki also gave the final answer, that is, he would definitely draw a scene of sunspots and them going to buy sneakers, but what they bought may not be the main orange and blue color scheme of Chaoshen Sports, it may be sky blue and red color.
"Feel free, don't forget that my motherland is a big red color, no problem." Jiang Chao likes this thing the most, if it weren't for the Knicks' habitual orange and blue, Jiang Chao would also like a sea of red.
Ma Xun also nodded:
"New Year's red, this color is no problem, North Carolina blue, no problem, we still have a North Carolina captain on the team, and when his contract expires, let him wear our North Carolina blue color combat boots."
To be honest, he personally thinks that orange and blue are actually too sassy, Hermes orange is a color that ordinary people can't wear, and their attention is on their feet, but in fact, red shoes are okay, they won't be so bright.
Then he said that the characters who appeared later did not necessarily wear basketball shoes, he would try on all the shoes of Chaoshen Sports and arrange them reasonably, and some commuter running shoes may be suitable for basketball shoes.
"Toei Animation's sneakers will be used from the first episode, and I will change them myself."
"That couldn't be better." Thinking that the sneakers of Chaoshen Sports would appear at the beginning of the first episode of the animated version, Jiang Chao was excited in advance.
"Ma Xun, come back after you finish everything, I'll have breakfast."
Here, Liu Yan rubbed her messy long hair with sleepy eyes, and a transparent silk pajamas lined off her looming beautiful figure.
Jiang Chao hung up the phone and went to fry the love poached eggs.
Beauty can not be disappointed~~
……
After 2 hours.
Jiang Chao, who was in the office, received a call from Ma Xun to finally get it.
The money contract is clear, and the Toei animation version and the next manga version of "Kuroko's Basketball" will be exclusively sponsored by Chaoshen Sports, and all the two-dimensional characters in it will endorse the products of Chaoshen Sports.
Ma Xun: "Boss, this money is not a small amount, 2 million US dollars is given like this, will anyone really read Neon's new generation of basketball comics?" ”
In his opinion, although the characters are very handsome, they no longer have the feeling of "Slam Dunk".
"You naturally don't feel it when you're old, time will tell."
And later, time really proved everything, but it was not the direction Jiang Chao imagined.
Jiang Chao thought that in this life, "Kuroko's Basketball" would still be a hit.
But what he may not have expected was that later everyone thought that it was Chaoshen Sports that made "Kuroko's Basketball".
Because after the sponsorship and endorsement of Chaoshen Sports, "Kuroko's Basketball" went all the way up, and after the animation was launched, it exploded, becoming a cross-circle work of sports since the 21st century!
The Daily Associated Press published an article saying that all this is thanks to the Chinese sports brand's investment in this work!
Later, Jiang Chao directly rejected the credit, saying that this anime is also very good, I didn't do anything, I just wanted to advertise.
Be modest, Brother Chao is humble! Excessively!
As a result, the original author felt that Jiang Chao was on fire......
……
That's all for later.
Jiang Chao, who got everything, took Liu Yan to Broadway to watch a stage show that night.
After reading it, I went to the car and put a tape of Zhang Yusheng that I bought at the door of KTV when I returned to China to sign Shu Siyao.
I don't know why, this year, Zhang Yusheng suddenly caught fire in the Celestial Empire KTV, but he just wanted to taste.
Jiang Chao's windows were all open, and he and Liu Yan hummed a song and roared:
"If only the sea could
Take away my sorrows
It's like taking every river
All the injuries that have been suffered
All the tears that have flowed
My love
Please take them all with you!!! ”
It's fun to think about.
The supergod generation is the concept of the 10th generation of the shoe king James in later generations!! It's hard to imagine that Vulcan will attract more fans in these shoes, let alone Kuroko, he has a premonition that Curry's generation of North Carolina blue color will sell out among the girls.
What is the concept of James 10?
In later generations, there was no domestic advertising promotion, but because of his domineering and cool appearance, he became the shoe king who surpassed the Kobe series to dominate the Chinese basketball shoe market and the world!
At this time, Nike, James's exclusive designer had actually gone to the Chaoshen Sports flagship store to see this pair of Chaoshen generation boots that are still unknown in the corner, and after reading it, he silently went to the toilet and cried for a long time.
This Nima is the shape he worked so hard to design!
Why did Chaoshen Sports directly get the goods on so quickly???
If he continues to study this Nima, it will be plagiarism from Nike, so he will directly delete all the documents that were originally in his concept and start all over again.
At this time, Jiang Chao had just finished singing, and he switched to a voice that was not Zhang Yusheng:
"No matter how hard it is, you have to be strong, just for those who look forward to it.
If the heart is in a dream, there is still true love between heaven and earth
Looking at success or failure, life is heroic, but starting from scratch!! ”
"Teacher Liu Huan's song?" Liu Yan heard that this was obviously not Zhang Yusheng's voice.
"Pirated tapes!! No way! ”
"Hahaha, you will also be pitted!"
"Don't say it, the music is online, start with me......" Jiang Chao didn't cut the song, this song is also very high, he brightened his voice, stepped on the accelerator, and got high again.
"Jiang Chao, you sing so well!"
"What did you say?"
"You sing so well!" Liu Yan shouted loudly in his ear.
"How about I have a concert at Madison Square Garden in the future?" Jiang Chao laughed loudly.
"Yes, I feel like you can sing a lot of weird songs."
"Then for sure, I can still write songs for you."
"Forget it. I feel at ease to be your secretary, I can't complete the five tones. Liu Yan waved her hand again and again.
However, she could hear that Jiang Chao seemed to have a plan.
"The film and television entertainment company you want to build will have the rhythm of the music department?"
"It must be! There is also the women's group department, do you want to join? ”
"You're a big ~ lustful ~ ghost! Just know the little sister! ”
