Chapter 181 Poaching people (7K chapters, please subscribe~)

   "Young Master Huan, I beat five of them one at a time, and I didn't suffer at all. Is it considered a glory for the country?"

  After the matter was clarified, Qin Peng licked his face and showed off to Chu Huan: "If Kui Zai didn't hold back, I could have beaten two more. It's a pity that people from the police station have come."

  Chu Huan glanced at Qin Peng, and said calmly: "If you can sleep five of you, then you will really win glory for the country!"

  Qin Peng was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "Maybe it's okay to work hard, but I'm worried that all the water will come out from behind!"

  Chu Huan glanced at Qin Peng speechlessly: "Why do I feel that after this fight, you seem to have opened up your second branch of Ren and Du?"

  Qin Peng laughed and said, "I don't know why, but I just feel good after beating up those little Japanese."

  Chu Huan chuckled and said, "Okay, you've won glory for the country, let's go back and give you three a good celebration!"

   Seeing that Chu Huan was not angry because of this incident, Bao Tianming, Liu Pingkui, and Qin Peng were quietly relieved.

   Several people returned to the hotel together.

In the next few days, Chu Huan’s life in Japan will become much more boring. In the morning, Chu Huan will go out to find various comic book stores, pack and buy all the comics that can be seen in the Japanese market now, and then Sent back to Xiangjiang.

  In the afternoon, we will go to insect production, and get familiar with the creative process of insect production.

  Chu Huan soon discovered that the people here looked listless, as if they were ready to pack up and leave at any time. After being told by the translator beside him, Chu Huan knew why these people were like this.

  Just as Chu Huan already knew the news, the entire staff of Chong Production basically knew the current situation of Chong Production, and they were heavily in debt and unable to repay the bank loan.

   That is to say, the date when their company's bank loan expires is when the worm production goes bankrupt.

  That's why these people are so listless, but Chu Huan also found that there are a few people who are in a different state from them. After inquiring, they learned that these people have either already found a new home, or are planning to start their own businesses.

   Osamu Tezuka’s influence in the Japanese animation industry is unparalleled. These people can be regarded as his apprentices. Even if the insect production goes bankrupt, as long as these people are willing to put down their dignity and go out to find a job, they will not starve to death in the animation industry.

  In fact, this is also the case. After Bug Production went bankrupt next year, these people did not leave the animation industry. Some started their own businesses, some drew their own comics, and finally became famous people.

   It can be seen that although the management of Bug Production is not good, it is indeed the HP military academy in the Japanese animation industry.

  In addition, Chu Huan is familiar with the creative process of insect production. The main writer is naturally Osamu Tezuka, but in many cases Osamu Tezuka is only responsible for the beginning part, and then distributes the outline of the story, and then Akio Sugino and others are responsible for the completion.

  Unless Osamu Tezuka personally wrote those special comics, the others were completed by these people.

   "This is a bit like the creation process of North American comics!"

  After Chu Huan discovered this, he also noticed the difference between Bug Production and other comics in Japan.

  In Japan, a manga is basically completed independently by an original author, and at most there is an editor who is like a butler.

   Just like Akira Toriyama later, he created "Arale" and "Dragon Ball" from the story to the painting, all by himself.

  In this way, there is the rumor, why Akira Toriyama must draw Sharu to death, because the character of Sharu is too difficult to draw.

After learning about this, Chu Huan went to "Weekly Shonen Jump", a manga magazine founded in 1968, and "Weekly Shonen Magazine" and "Weekly Shonen Sunday" are also known as Japan's three major comics weekly.

   Among them, "Dragon Ball", "Slam Dunk", "Captain Tsubasa", "One Piece" and "Naruto", which are familiar to young people in China, basically come from this comic magazine.

   However, the production of "Weekly Shonen Jump" was not as smooth as that of the insect removal. The other party is now a big business and doesn't care about Chu Huan's identity at all.

  As for the visit proposed by Chu Huan, he was rejected on the spot.

  Chu Huan turned and left without saying anything.

  Power is the last word.

  So when he left "Weekly Shonen Jump", Chu Huan decided that in the future, he would be able to find the manga artist who wrote "Weekly Shonen Jump".

  After getting acquainted with the people who made the insects, Chu Huan began to play his friendly character, and began to invite them to eat and drink. Within two times, Chu Huan became acquainted with these people.

   And this also made Chu Huan understand the characters of these people, and knew who was more likely to be poached by him to Xiangjiang.

   On the other side, Osamu Tezuka also gradually understood Chu Huan's routine, but he didn't say anything about Chu Huan's behavior.

   Seeing that Chong Production was about to close down, even if Chu Huan didn't show up, these people must have found another job.

   Now that Chu Huan shows up, it's better to form a relationship and see if there is any chance for the two parties to cooperate in the future!

  Today is the fifth day that Chu Huan came to Worm Production, and after getting off work this evening, Chu Huan invited a painter named Yasuo Kamakura to have dinner alone.

   This person is not the most famous person in Bug Production, and compared with Sugino Akio and others, his ability is even worse. However, after observing these few days, Chu Huan discovered an interesting thing.

   This person is basically a jack-of-all-trades talent in Insect Production, and he can be seen in any department, which shows that this person is familiar with the entire creation process of Insect Production.

This is what Chu Huan needs. People who are too shrewd, such as Akio Sugino, are very difficult to control. Moreover, Chu Huan also found out that Akio Sugino and Tomo Yamazaki already have financial backers, and they are going to help them establish their own of the studio.

   Chu Huan doesn't need such a talent, his heart is too wild!

   In addition, Yasuo Kamakura has another weakness that Chu Huan can use

  In the izakaya, Chu Huan and Yasuo Kamakura were sitting at the bar.

   "Mr. Chu, I'm really surprised, there are so many people in the company, I didn't expect you to choose me in the end!"

   Yasuo Kamakura seems to have known why Chu Huan came to him.

  Chu Huan smiled: "It seems that the people who made the worm already know my idea."

  Kamikura Yasuo said: "Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart."

  The Japanese are obsessed with "Three Kingdoms", and people all over the country know it.

  Chu Huan said openly and honestly: "Since you already know, then I won't go around the circle. I will return to Xiangjiang with you. I will give your mother the money for medical treatment!"

  This is Yasuo Kamakura's weakness. Through the observations of these few days, Chu Huan knows that this person is a very filial person. In Japan, working overtime is normal, but in Insect Production, it is even more exaggerated. Overtime work is as normal as breathing.

   But even so, Yasuo Kamakura is still the one who came the earliest and the one who left the latest.

   All this is in the hope of getting more overtime pay and treating my mother's illness.

   Sure enough, after Chu Huan said this, Kamakura Yasuo immediately showed a trace of excitement, "Mr. Chu, are you telling the truth?"

  Chu Huan nodded and said: "Of course, I never joke about this kind of thing. If you don't believe me, we can go to the hospital tomorrow morning and pay all the expenses for your mother's treatment!"

If Yasuo Kamakura uses it properly, Chu Huan is going to spend at least ten years on him, using this amount of medical expenses that in Yasuo Kamakura's view is astronomical, but in Chu Huan's view, it is just a few more times Tian Ni's fee, using this money to win over a person's heart, is simply too lucrative.

   Yasuo Kamakura stood up excitedly on the chair at this time, bowed deeply to Chu Huan, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chu, I will definitely not let you down!"

  Chu Huan smiled and said, "I'm waiting for your words."

  The excited Kamakura Yasuo began to explain to Chu Huan in detail the creative process of worm production, when he talked about the animation production section.

  Chu Huan interrupted him: "I don't have an idea to do animation yet, so I'll focus on manga first, and then think about animation after the manga is up."

  Although Chu Huan wants to set up his own animation company, Xiangjiang is different from Japan. Xiangjiang's TV stations are basically self-produced and sold.

  Play the programs and TV series made by myself, and don't buy them outside at all. Even if Chu Huan makes animations, TVB, and Li's TV may not necessarily buy them.

  Even if they would buy it, they would keep the price very low. For Chu Huan, the gain outweighs the loss.

   Instead, it is better to concentrate on comics, and then study the TV station after the comic magazine is launched.

  Hearing what Chu Huan said, Yasuo Kamakura did not insist, but started another suggestion very kindly.

"There is one more thing, that is the problem of the painters. There are more than 50 painters in Chong Production, which is still not enough. If Mr. Chu wants to set up a comic magazine in Xiangjiang, then he needs to bring some Japanese painters there, but If this is the case, it must be more than Japan in terms of remuneration."

This is a difficult problem, Chu Huan thought for a while, and said: "You first contact the painters you are familiar with, not girly styles, as many as you can contact, after I arrive in Xiangjiang, I will recruit some painters in Xiangjiang , but the level of these painters should not be as high as yours, and you will need to train them when the time comes."

  Baboo Kamakura hesitated and said: "There is no problem with this, but even if their technology is sufficient, what really supports a manga is the story, if there is no good story?"

   "You don't have to worry about this!" Chu Huan already had his own ideas about the development of comic magazines in the early stage, and asked directly: "Have you read Xiangjiang Jinyong's martial arts novels?"

   Yasuo Kamakura nodded and said, "Mr. Jin Yong's works are also very popular in Japan!"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "That's good. In the initial stage of our comic magazine, we will use Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels and other martial arts novelists as blueprints to adapt the comics. Of course, if in the process, there are Any artist who has his own story can also try to create it, and if it passes the company's internal review, their comics can also be published."

  Later generations have the impression of Xiangjiang’s comics because of the comics of the same name of the movie "Young and Dangerous", as well as "Fengyun", "Chinese Heroes", "Dragon Tiger Gate" and other comics.

  But in fact, for a period of time, comics adapted from Jin Yong’s novels had a very good market in Xiangjiang and even the entire Southeast Asia.

At this time, the comic market in Xiangjiang cannot be said to have just emerged. After all, in 1959, Xiangjiang published the semi-monthly "Manga World", but Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao, who really brought Xiangjiang's comics to the commercial market, also It's just getting started.

  Huang Yulang is serializing his "Little Rascal", which was later renamed "Dragon Tiger Gate".

  But at this time, Huang Yulang has not established his own Yulang International, and Shangguan Xiaobao is also a miserable worker!

  As for Jin Yong’s novels, they are still very popular in the hearts of Xiangjiang people. If a manga adapted from Jin Yong’s novels is released at this time, for those fans of Jin Yong’s novels, it will definitely be full of feelings and expectations.

  Especially when TV dramas have not yet emerged.

  Chu Huan believes that the release of comics based on Jin Yong's novels at this time should be very marketable.

  In addition, Chu Huan was still in Taiwan Island, co-founded a martial arts magazine with Shangguan Yu and Gu Long. At that time, Chu Huan told the two of them that in the future, fan comics of the novels published in the martial arts magazine would be published.

   This can be regarded as paving the way for this matter in advance.

  Hearing what Chu Huan said, Yasuo Kamakura showed a disappointed expression. As an artist working in the Bug Production Company founded by Osamu Tezuka, Yasuo Kamakura naturally hoped to be able to create his own original manga one day.

  But now Chu Huan obviously has no idea about this,

  Seeing Yasuo Kamakura's expression, Chu Huan understood Yasuo Kamakura's thoughts. Now that he is going to bring Yasuo Kamakura back to Hong Kong to take charge of his own comic business, Chu Huan still has to draw some necessary pies.

   "Don't worry, as long as you go back to Xiangjiang with me and smooth out the company's affairs, you can create the comics you want to create, and there will always be a place for your comics in the company's magazine!"

   Sure enough, after hearing what Chu Huan said, the disappointment in Yasuo Kamakura's eyes dissipated a little, but only a little.

  After all, compared to Japan, Xiangjiang belongs to the desert of comics. Even if it has its own original comics, how much attention can it attract?

   As for this point, Chu Huan doesn't plan to explain Yakuo Kamakura anymore, because even if he draws this big cake by himself, the other party may not believe it.

"Mr. Chu, please don't worry, I will definitely complete my work well!" Yasuo Kamakura also knows that you can't have both, and because of his mother's illness, he can only accept Chu Huan's suggestion. .

Finally, Chu Huan made the last request, "One more thing, you need to help me find an artist in Japan who is good at drawing fighting, blood, and funny. This artist will be in charge of a brand new manga independently, and this Comics will also become the main comics in our comic magazine."

  If it was just to adapt Jin Yong's novel, then Chu Huan didn't need to find so many painters in Japan.

  Let’s put it this way, the comics adapted from Jin Yong’s martial arts novels are just to ensure the basic market of his comic magazine in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and Chu Huan specially prepared the comic, which is the enemy of the comic magazine’s expansion.

  Chu Huan can provide comic stories and characters, but the only thing he can’t provide is drawing skills, so this is the most important thing for Chu Huan.

   Yasuo Kamakura thought for a while, and said: "There are candidates, but I have no way to be sure whether the other party will go to Xiangjiang with me."

  Chu Huan shook his head and said: "No, I must have such a person. If you can't even complete this task, our cooperation can only be temporarily suspended."

It can be said that Yasuo Kamakura and this artist are equally important to Chu Huan's comic magazine. Although it is impossible for Chu Huan to not cooperate with Yasuo Kamakura because he can't find such a person, but what should be given There is still pressure to give.

   Yasuo Kamakura also understands that Chu Huan's temporary suspension is probably because he can't get financial support from Chu Huan, so his mother's illness can't be cured.

  Thinking of this, Kamakura Yasuo immediately said: "Mr. Chu, don't worry, I can definitely bring this person there!"

  Chu Huan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, it is good to have this confidence."

   Yasuo Kamakura expressed his thanks to Chu Huan again.

  The two agreed on the time and place to meet tomorrow, and Chu Huan left the izakaya with his translator, but Yasuo Kamakura wiped his face hard after walking out of the izakaya.

   At this time, he realized that he would go to Xiangjiang in the future to be the editor-in-chief of a comic magazine?

  He didn't know whether his behavior was a success or a failure, but he knew that he had no way out!

  Basuo Kamakura is reluctant to take a taxi on weekdays, but today he really wants to bring this news home quickly so that his family can share the joy with him.

   This is the most common house in Japan, but when Yasuo Kamakura saw that the lights in the house were still on, his heart felt warm for no reason.

   Then he took a few quick steps and returned home.

   After opening the door, a girl in her mid-twenties who was a few years younger than Yasuo Kamakura opened the door.

  After seeing Yasuo Kamakura, the girl said worriedly: "Brother, why are you coming back later than usual today?"

   This girl is called Kamakura Mikoto, she is Kamakura Yasuo's younger sister, she works in a trading company, and her work is also very hard.

   Yasuo Kamakura asked happily: "Is Mommy asleep?"

   Yasuo Kamakura's father died of illness when he was a teenager, leaving only their mother and son. Yasuo Kamakura and Mikoto Kamakura were brought up by their own mother.

   "Baby is back?"

Yasuo Kamakura's mother opened the door, her face was pale, and she walked out with faltering steps. She smelled the alcohol on Yasuo Kamakura's body and smiled on her face. She always believed that her illness was a drag on her son and daughter. In order to treat themselves, the two of them worked desperately every day, and in order to save money, they never participated in the company's dinner party.

   Naturally, there is no intersection.

  But today, she smelled the alcohol on her son, which made her feel that his son might have his own friend.

   Yasuo Kamakura excitedly said to his sister: "Hurry up and pack up your mother's clothes, and tomorrow we will go to the hospital for surgery on my mother!"

  Kamikura Mikoto and their mother were stunned. Didn't expect that the first thing Kamakura Yasuo said when he came back was this?

   "Brother, what's going on?" Kamakura Mikoto asked excitedly.

  Their mother asked worriedly: "Baby, did you do something bad?"

   Yasuo Kamakura hurriedly said: "It's not what you think, it's like this"

   Afterwards, Yasuo Kamakura told the two of them about the agreement between himself and Chu Huan.

   After listening to the two, they were a little overwhelmed. It happened so suddenly.

  Finally, Kamakura Mikoto asked: "Brother, you mean, you promised that Xiangjiang person to go to Xiangjiang to help him manage the manga magazine, and then he would pay for my mother's treatment?"

   Yasuo Kamakura nodded happily, and said, "That's right, he has already promised me that he will come over and join us tomorrow to send mom to the hospital!"

  Kamakura Yasuo's mother has other worries: "But you go to a place so far away from Xiangjiang?"

Yasuo Kamakura comforted: "Mom, you know that I have always wanted to create a manga of my own. In Japan, I never had such an opportunity. Now, Mr. Chu is willing to give me this opportunity and let me help him to create a manga." Manga magazines, and help you cure diseases, I really want to try it!"

  Seeing Yasuo Kamakura saying this, his mother still said worriedly: "But where have you been? I don't know the place where you live. What if something happens again?"

   Yasuo Kamakura could only continue to appease, and after more than ten minutes, he finally let his mother accept this matter.

Then Yasuo Kamakura said to his sister: "Little sister, I may stay in Xiangjiang for a longer time in the future, and I will leave the mother's affairs to you at home, but don't worry, I have already made an agreement with Mr. Chu Yes, I will wait for my mother to leave the hospital before going to Xiangjiang."

  Kamikura Mikoto nodded seriously and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Mom!"

  Next day!

  Chu Huan arrived at Yasuo Kamakura's house as scheduled. At this time, Yasuo Kamakura had prepared everything. After Yasuo Kamakura's mother saw Chu Huan, she thanked him again and again. Chu Huan had no choice but to deal with it.

   Afterwards, everyone drove Yasuo Kamakura's mother to the hospital. Seeing that Chu Huan had paid all the hospital expenses, surgery fees, etc., Yasuo Kamakura finally let go of the last trace of worry in his heart.

   "Mr. Chu, thank you so much, don't worry, I will help you find the painter you are looking for."

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Okay, now you can accompany your mother in the hospital. In October, I will wait for you in Xiangjiang!"

   Yasuo Kamakura has decided to set off for Xiangjiang in October. At that time, his mother should already have a certain ability to act independently.

   After leaving the hospital, Chu Huan spent another two days visiting theaters in Tokyo. Finally, Chu Huan asked the translator he had hired to find a private detective.

  In Japan, this profession exists legally, so it will appear in many comics, TV, and movies in Japan.

   Among them, the most familiar to domestic audiences is "City Hunter"!

But this kind of profession is not protected by law in China. The only person responsible for investigating cases is the police, not even consultants. This is why the popular "White Night Chasing Murder" has no sequel. The sequel It is true that the filming is finished, but there is definitely no way to release it.

   Unless domestic policies change.

   So those who are still waiting, you can give up this idea.

   After finding a private detective, Chu Huan gave a few names. This is a long-term task, and you will be paid once you find one. These names are actually familiar to everyone. For example, Takehiko Inoue is among them.

   There is no way to do this. Chu Huan only knows what kind of cartoons these people drew, but he doesn't know their personal situation. What if Xiaodouding is among them?

   Then there is no way to draw manga at all, and reading manga is almost the same.

  So look for it first, and find it. If you are in the comics industry, then find a way to get it to Xiangjiang. If you are not there, then slowly observe.

  Finally, if you can't get to Xiangjiang, it doesn't matter, at worst, you can take out their comics in advance, even if you don't remember the story, you can do a magic change, at worst, don't play it!

   This is Chu Huan's idea. If I can't get it, no one else can get it.

  After doing all this, Chu Huan finally decided to return to Xiangjiang.

  However, before leaving Tokyo, Chu Huan met Osamu Tezuka alone.

   "Yakuo Kamakura has already handed in his resignation letter. I didn't expect Mr. Chu to fall in love with him in the end!" Osamu Tezuka spoke to Chu Huan bluntly.

  Chu Huan said indifferently: "There is no way, those people under Mr. Tezuka's hands are very famous in the Japanese animation industry. I want them to follow me to Xiangjiang and they are not willing!"

  Osamu Tezuka nodded. As I said before, he didn't care about Chu Huan's poaching. After all, most of the people who made Zong had already been booked by other studios.

  Now there is just one more Yasuo Kamakura.

   Moreover, Yasuo Kamakura went to Xiangjiang, and in Osamu Tezuka's view, it was even more impossible to pose a threat to himself.

   "Actually, the level of animation in your country is very high. Why doesn't Mr. Chu look for it in your country?" Osamu Tezuka asked with some doubts.

   This is not Osamu Tezuka saying polite words, but really thinking so. In a few years, when the domestic situation stabilizes, Osamu Tezuka will go on a pilgrimage to the country.

  Chu Huan did not give a real explanation, but just found a reason to preach: "My magazine is a start-up, and I pay more attention to the commercial market."

  Osamu Tezuka didn't doubt Chu Huan's answer either. After all, the most successful companies in the animation industry are Japan and North America.

   After a brief exchange between the two, they got up and said goodbye.

  Finally, Chu Huan went to the hospital again, visited Yasuo Kamakura's mother, and then decided to leave for Xiangjiang.

  When Chu Huan returned to Xiangjiang, it was already the end of August. This trip to Japan went smoothly, which made Chu Huan a little unbelievable, but at the same time made Chu Huan a little confused.

  Obviously I have asked Fang Jianhui to disclose his coming to Japan, so why didn't Chu Tianxiao take any action?

   Not today, thank you~
