The ironware I made shines

Chapter 244 Building Figures

A week later, Ge Xiaohua received an email from Mr. Masahiro Yamamoto, explaining that his body had recovered, and told Ge Xiaohua not to worry, and he would fulfill his promise and choose an event to come to Ge's blacksmith shop to challenge Ge Xiaohua!

"Mr. Yamamoto is really tough. I hope we can defeat him in a real sense next time we meet!" Ge Xiaohua felt that the last time was too "cunning", so he shortened the forging time and let the old man forge all night, which made him go to the hospital. I feel sorry for Mr. Yamamoto, but the competition is a competition. Although Ge Xiaohua blamed himself, he didn't think there was anything wrong.

I just feel that I am suspected of being a bit tricky, and I still haven't officially dueled with Yuji Yamamoto, so I am a little worried.

"With this experience, I have more confidence in Yamamoto Masayasu!" Ge Xiaohua said with great enthusiasm. He has not been idle for a week. He has summed up the experience and lessons, and the harvest is still great, and after watching Yamamoto Masayasu The old man's forging picture has some experience. The biggest forging feature of Yamamoto Masaosu is the spirit of dedication, and that kind of tenacity is the key to his success.

In addition to what Yamamoto Masaosu said about his recent situation, this email also revealed two pieces of information. This email should have been written by Yamamoto Yuji, and it was written in Chinese, probably translated. It is written in Chinese, which seems to be more sincere. It can be seen that Yuji Yamamoto is still very knowledgeable. He does not speak Chinese very well, but it is still possible to use a computer to translate.

Although there are many mistakes in grammar, they can still be understood. What Yuji Yamamoto said is that many people in the association have challenged Ge Xiaohua. See Ge Xiaohua's explanation that time is free to accept, and they can come to China. It is possible to go to Japan. In addition to Yamamoto Masaosu, there are two challengers, both of whom are elites of the Asian Forging Association.

It may be seen that Ge Xiaohua is too "arrogant" and continues to challenge the members of the association, so they will also challenge, one is from Pakistan, and the other is from Indonesia.

He didn't care about challenging Ge Xiaohua. He was here to give points. If he can challenge, others can too. He had three chances to refuse, but he didn't intend to refuse. He was worried that there were no points to add. Two challengers came. It is also possible, so I plan to let them come to China, so as to avoid trouble.

This kind of competition within the association cares about communication and improving skills, so the smell of gunpowder is actually not so strong. Unlike ordinary competitive events, forging is a process of forming a work of art. As a craftsman, everyone respects the work very much, so there is no such great hostility. .

In addition, an invitation letter for cooperation with "Shueisha" is also attached to the email.

"Shueisha? It seems a little familiar." Ge Xiaohua checked on the Internet, and it turned out that Shueisha is one of the largest publishing houses in Japan.

It has many world-class manga copyrights, such as "Naruto", "Dragon Ball", "One Piece", "Gintama", "Saint Seiya", "Slam Dunk", etc., each of which is a popular manga.

When Ge Xiaohua saw that Shueisha had invited him, he couldn't help but get excited, because he had read many copyrights of his comics, and they were all childhood memories.

"Shueisha invited me to jointly create a figure? What's the situation? They know they can't make it?" Ge Xiaohua said to himself, and then looked carefully. It turned out that Shueisha meant to invite Ge Xiaohua to create a cold weapon link, and the main part would be It is done by a dedicated designer. For example, characters, scenes, etc., will be made of resin materials, and coloring, etc., requires a complete team.

In order to increase the value and vividness of the figure, inviting a forging master like Ge Xiaohua to jointly produce it, in addition to increasing the popularity of the figure, it can be sold better, and it is also to increase the price.

"Shueisha played a good hand. Invite me to be a figure weapon making master? A good way!" Ge Xiaohua saw the intention of the boss of Shueisha. He just wanted to use Ge Xiaohua's reputation in China to expand the figure market. After all, there are a lot of rich people in the Chinese market, and there are not a few otaku tycoons who are willing to pay for their feelings.

"In this regard, I have to discuss the contract with Shueisha." Ge Xiaohua knows that there are many ways in it. The Asian Forging Association cooperates with Shueisha. Although Ge Xiaohua doesn't know, since he can get in touch with himself through the Yamamoto family, then the communication is sure Very often, maybe Japanese forging masters such as Yamamoto Yuji and Yamamoto Yudai also cooperate with Shueisha in terms of figures?

In any case, Ge Xiaohua thinks this is a good opportunity to cooperate with the Japanese animation industry. With the authorization of Shueisha, Ge Xiaohua can better create genuine figures.

Ge Xiaohua is still dissatisfied with the fact that they are only limited to some hand-made lists given by themselves. It would be great if he could obtain the copyright after becoming their "weapon master". Of course, copyright is not for nothing. Ge Xiaohua will not complain about giving them a part of the copyright fee.

After all, there is a huge market for Japanese comics, which is beyond doubt. After all, Japan has surpassed China in the field of comics. Even if the Japanese comics industry has entered a depression period, it is not the golden age of the past. Guoman is much stronger.

"It will take a long period of cohesion for Guoman to surpass Riman, but I believe that when Guoman will rise, I am willing to be a "weapon master" for Guoman for free!" The tycoon company Shueisha is a weapon master, he must think twice, he can't lose money.

"Maybe the competition with Mr. Yamamoto has reached the ears of the boss of Shueisha, and he is also planning to invite me to cooperate in order to expand the Chinese market?" Ge Xiaohua is not clear about the intention of the boss of Shueisha, but this email has brought Ge Xiaohua a lot of things , It's a surprise.

The cooperation with Shueisha will not be carried out for the time being. It needs a negotiation stage, and the obligations, responsibilities, and profit distribution of both parties must be clarified. This is also what Ge Xiaohua has to do when cooperating with Marvel.

"I'm going to hire a Japanese lawyer again. I don't know if Japanese lawyers are more expensive than American lawyers?" Ge Xiaohua smiled wryly, but the lawyer's fee has to be paid, so that there will be no trouble in the future. If there is a dispute with the boss, it will be a long-term legal battle. Word games should be avoided as much as possible, and the laws and regulations of the local country must be combined, and the contract cannot be signed directly on the spur of the moment.

"Shueisha, Marvel, the two giants have cooperated with me, why is no one in China looking for me?" Ge Xiaohua couldn't help thinking to himself, but thinking about it, it seems that there are no animation copyright tycoons and film companies in China who are capable of inviting him Create props and figures worth millions or tens of millions.
