NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

……

Chapter 157: "Heizi Basketball" Vulcan Taiga endorses Super God Generation, Momoi May endorses Pink Coconut!

"Well, yes, how's the inquiry going?"

After Jiang Chao heard the name, he said that the two got out of the car, Liu Yan was driving, and he was the co-pilot.

Liu Yan ran to the driver's seat with long legs. Jiang Chao's behavior obviously meant that he was very concerned about this matter, so she was also going to drive back to the apartment quickly so that Jiang Chao could work with peace of mind.

"The illustrator of this manga animation production company is standing next to me. She is also very interested in your plan."

"The animation is on the air? Not yet?" Jiang Chao was startled, it was real or not.

"It's early, but the copyright of the animation has been sold, and they are already discussing the animation production process, what's the matter, boss?"

"We have to speed up our steps, and we will talk slowly with you in a video conference later."

I'm coming!

Finally, the big banner of exaggerating the dimension wall is coming!

Jiang Chao has already ignited ahead of time. I haven't heard the name of this comic for a long time. After hearing it, I think of [The Disappearing Pass] [The Hammer of Destruction] [The Eye of the Emperor] and other passionate scenes.

Isn't this more popular than blogging?

He asked Ma Xun to check the news of this anime because they had a big plan for this anime.

It is also a major move that is likely to occupy the Two-dimensional juvenile market in one fell swoop.

What will the children of the future be the richest in? ?One is Two-dimensional, and the other is a peripheral!And they are also the group that likes to wear sports equipment the most.

After all, their world is all about how comfortable they are. Two-dimensional usually includes cosplay in addition to sports clothes, and the big players in peripherals basically don’t care about how they dress up, and they care more about how to get the latest graphics card.

Therefore, the purchasing power of the two-thorn ape circle can never be ignored!

That's why Jiang Chao, a business genius, suddenly remembered the Slam Dunk's AJ1 Xiangbei color scheme.

You have "Slam Dunk", and I have "Sunspot's Basketball!" "

"Kuroko's Basketball" is a juvenile manga created by neon manga artist Tadatoshi Fujimaki. It was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" in December 2008.

The main story is that Kuroko Tetsuya, known as the sixth man of phantom in the generation of miracles, and Vulcan Taiga who returned from the United States lead the team to challenge the generation of miracles.

It's just started and it's being serialized, and the real fire will have to be when the first season of the animation is broadcast in 2012.

To put it simply, the status of the future is the pinnacle of sports series in the world after "Captain Football", "Baseball Hero", "Slam Dunk" and "The Prince of Tennis".

And these are the neon comics of the last century. Since Wang Wang in 1999, sports comics that can be popular all over the world seem to have disappeared for a long time.

Only "Heizi's Basketball" has carried the banner of its predecessors in the new century.

In the previous life, when the youth of Jiang Chao’s generation was about to end, Heizi appeared, enlightening the new generation’s yearning for basketball.

He watched this animation by the way while waiting for the update of "One Piece".

The first feeling is actually full of epoch-making atmosphere.

With fuller character creation and more precise and meticulous painting style, "Heizi's Basketball" well reflects the continuous progress of the comics industry in all aspects.

"Sports comics" is a special kind of comics, because this kind of theme is very easy to get close to life, so it has extraordinary appeal. Compared with "Slam Dunk", which is much worse than comics, this animation is Many Two-dimensional fans feel that there is no need to read the manga after watching the animation.

In the era when the three major migrant workers were fighting each other, Heizi basketball was able to jump out and gain a place, which is still very good.

And his level is reflected in the uniqueness of this anime.

Unique in "Generation of Miracles", "ZONE State", "Eye of the Emperor of Heaven"...

These plethora of "secondary two" are full of settings, combining basketball and moves skills.

Although the names of moves such as "Double Shooting", "Flame Shooting" and "Thunder Beast Shooting" appeared as early as in Captain Tsubasa, but "Heizi's Basketball" goes a step further, elevating the role of moves to predicting the future, Surreal features like throwing opponents off balance.

Blood, passion and a little fantasy, like a chemical experiment, the result is a success.

What is the obvious difference between people in the new era and those in the past?There are more types of entertainment.

In the 80s and 90s when technology was not yet developed, a basketball or a football was a piece of heaven for children. Sports cartoons at that time were irreplaceable treasures for the post-80s and 90s.

But now in 2009 when the Internet is developed, mobile phones, computers, game consoles, for young people, they have more and more choices, and sports are no longer indispensable, which is why sports fan There is no reason for it to catch fire again.

"Heizi's Basketball" is like an innovation. The author uses the plot setting to enrich the emotions of the characters, and uses more aspects to shape the story.

but!

In Jiang Chao's view.

No matter what age the sports comic works are, the original intention is to bring happiness to readers, and to promote these sports, so that more people can exercise and enjoy the fun of sports.

This is the same as Jiang Chao's original intention. While making money, let the world see the charm of the Knicks when they play.

And Ma Xun also talked about the potential of this animation on the phone:

"Now, a new batch of readers are attracted by "Heizi's Basketball". Whether it is out of love for basketball, appreciation of the friendship between teammates, or substituting themselves into the plot, it seems that sports comics are going to play it again. The influence it deserves.

Let more friends can't help but say the phrase "Coach, I want to play basketball!"

"Have you read this cartoon?"

"I stayed up late last night and finished watching."

"Looks like you like it?"

"Yes, I found the feeling of watching Slam Dunk a few years ago!"

Ma Xun looked at the cute Japanese girl illustrator beside him and said with a smile, dreams, friendship, trust, and responsibility are all shown in this comic, and the truly attractive parts of sports comics are drawn. It feels just like Jiang Chao before. As he said, this may be the representative work of the predecessors of the New Century Society Inheritance Movement!

"By the way, Liu Yan... can you drive slowly... This is not the car to go to kindergarten..."

Jiang Chao was a little dizzy after getting off the car, Liu Yan was driving much faster than him, Jiang Chao was in the car, his soul was flying in the sky thinking about something, and what he was thinking was Lujian floating in the air and shooting a three-pointer look.

Thinking of this, he turned on the video conference and asked the cute girl in the flower skirt next to Ma Xun:

"Hello, I would like to ask, what does your company think of the commercial value of the manga "Heizi's Basketball" after it is adapted into animation?"

The cute girl was excited when she saw Jiang Chao's handsome face appearing on the screen, and said, "Imas, what's the matter?" Luckily, Liu Yan, an expert in four languages, translated a wave beside her.

To put it simply, I first introduced myself, the illustrator and voice actor of XX Animation Co., Ltd.

Their opinion on this comic that just bought the copyright is that the depiction of sports in many works is too funny, so that most viewers have deep prejudices against sports, so the market value may not be as good as the sales of comics.

Especially when the audience sees phenomena beyond common sense from realistic sports, most people, especially those who have a little understanding of the sport, will feel stomachache.

But it is undeniable that this animation, which is covered in sports drama but has a core of "super power combat", may have a place in the market.

The point of this girl’s complaint is super power, because she has communicated with the original author, super power basketball seems to become more and more abnormal in the later stage, only from the character design of the protagonist Kuroko Tetsuya, it can be seen that the sense of existence is thin and thus Although there is still some truth in the setting of achieving invisibility on the court, in fact, there are quite a lot of slots when you think about it carefully.

"Well, this is normal, just like our Chinese fantasy, where the Emperor Dou walks everywhere as he writes.

If the settings of Kuroko Tetsuya and Kise Ryota can barely be rounded back, then the later roles, especially from the appearance of Midorima Shintaro, the direction of the whole work has basically been determined.

And this also reflects one of the characteristics of the super power sports fan: setting the sword to go slanted.Because the setting of the protagonist has been a bit magical from the beginning, so in order to prevent the characters from falling too low, the combat power can only be stacked up layer by layer, but after all, there is still an upper limit for the movement, so naturally stack up Just break through the sky. "

Jiang Chao's words startled the two opposite people.

What?

It seems that Boss Jiang Chao has watched this show that has been updated for a year?

This... is this too versatile?

"So boss Jiang Chao, are you sure you want to cooperate with our animation agency in advance? We may not become the globalized thing you imagined."

This little girl was also doing it to save Jiang Chao’s money. They all felt that the “Heizi’s Basketball” hadn’t been written off yet. If they really wanted to invest, they would wait until there was a slight trend. But in fact, the comics are only popular in Neon China , It’s okay to test the waters of neighboring countries.

"Haha, don't underestimate the level of your company's animation production."

Jiang Chao smiled and shook his head. Compared with pictures, the description of this kind of superpower must be more shocking than the animation combined with the music background.

And in his opinion, the advantage of the black basket is that it focuses on portraying the inner hearts of the characters in the play, especially the traditional debate between talent and hard work in sports.

This problem can be said to run through the whole work, and the author also has some brilliant short stories when discussing these problems.

And for the audience, especially the female audience, they may not remember the story clearly after the end of the story, but the characters, stories, and interactions between the characters in it can be said to be familiar to the audience, which is why the animation has been finished for a long time. The reason for its high popularity.

It's the same as the same, everyone knows that in the end you have to become a god and become a saint, but the description of the characters in the process is the difference between the great god and the street.

In addition to this, I have to say that the appearance design of the characters in the black basket is quite fashionable, and each character has a memory point for the audience.

Especially for nerd girls, it is too in line with the basic love thinking of cute girls in the new era.

So Jiang Chao hit her heart directly:

"You see this as Jifan, don't you?"

"Indeed..." The opposite girl responded with big eyes in surprise.

And Liu Yan and Ma Xun, the two high-achieving students, forced you and me under the tree to translate with puzzled expressions.

Jiang Chao said with a smile:

"But in the eyes of me, a sophomore in middle school, it's all about passionate sports."

"This is the advantage of this anime, men and women take it all!"

In Jiang Chao’s eyes, he didn’t see any signs of the government deliberately selling rotten people. They insisted on their dreams, friendship, and team bonds. There is no sense of incongruity...

It may be difficult to shake SD's classic status in people's minds, but the blood and excitement are not inferior to SD. Compared with SD's artistic success, Black Basket is a commercial success.

Of course, the premise is that you don’t watch anime with a realistic heart. Why do you say it’s too unscientific and unbearable?Would you please go to the next door and watch Junior High School Killer Tennis?The black basket is really scientific and scientific!

"In fact, the author Fujimaki Tadatoshi knows the ball very well. Seirin also plays offensive basketball, but it doesn't feel like the Suns, but like the Spurs' basketball style in recent years."

"Qingfeng is more like the black mamba who is hanging out, and the black mamba himself said the zone mode." Here Jiang Chao slipped his mouth, because the manga has not been updated to the zone at this time...

"To be honest, I don't know much about basketball, but I just love to watch it! The characters are so beautiful, I want them to appear on TV, so I will work hard to show everyone Heizi's basketball as soon as possible."

"No, no, do animation after signing with us."

When Jiang Chao arrived home, he directly showed a few pairs of sample shoes at home on the screen of his mobile phone.

"Tomorrow, you can bring some gifts and go to the Neon Chaoshen flagship store to get these pairs of shoes to visit the author Tadatoshi Fujimaki. I want the characters in this animation to wear our Chaoshen and Anta sneakers on their feet to complete Two-dimensional character endorsement."

"I'm going... As expected of you..."

It was only then that Liu Yan knew Jiang Chao's thoughts. Two-dimensional characters had to be endorsed by Jiang Chao, awesome Plath! !

She also searched this manga just now, and it is true that the characters are pretty good-looking, and as a basketball fan, it is not impossible to make the logo of the sneakers and even the jerseys be drawn as the products of Chaoshen.

"Okay, since Boss Jiang has taken a fancy to us, then we must complete this endorsement cooperation!"

Seeing that Jiang Chao is so optimistic about their upcoming animation, this cute girl can't help but make a verbal agreement, and then only the cartoonist and the company's senior management will sign.

It was 100% signed by the company's top management, and only cartoonists might refuse because of their artistic cultivation and feelings.

For artists, some things cannot be bought with money, after all, it is their hard work.

Ma Xun said that I am wearing AJ1 black and red for the manga version of Vulcan, Akashi is Asics GELBURST, Murasakihara is Mizuno WAVE REAL BB2, and Aomine is wearing KD...but most of them are AJ series. , and did not pay the author a promotional fee. According to Ma Xun's words, it would be nice if Nike didn't ask the author for copyright fees.

Because of this, in fact, the front sneakers in the "Heizi's Basketball" comics are very blurred. If Ma Xun is not a super shoe fan, he might not be able to recognize them.

"Well, I know."

Jiang Chao probably knows a little bit about it, but the anime version doesn't really matter, as long as you draw it, you can draw it.

After the animation version was released, AJ basically couldn't see the shadow. In the first few episodes, it can be seen that Vulcan is wearing the AJ1 black and red in tribute to Sakuragi Flower Road.

And later, with the entry of capital, there are basically products from Asics and Onitsuka Tiger, as well as Mizuno and other neon shoe factory brands. Then Onitsuka Tiger and Asics are equivalent to the current Chaoshen and Anta. Relationship, the Onitsuka Tiger series of sneakers and running shoes are still selling well because of the hit of this animation.

It was because of this point that Jiang Chao decided to invest so decisively.

His thoughts directly told the two people in Neon.

In the future, the super god generation, that is, the template is the black and red boots of James 10, which is for the endorsement of Vulcan, and Sakurai Wuyue, the pink-haired girl, will wear pink coconut to endorse. The sunspot is very simple. Curry Starting from the first generation, Lujian is the ordinary high-top basketball shoe KT4 (designed by Thompson's fourth generation) of Chaoshen Sports...

Others basically have Chaoshen Sports and Anta shoes matching shoes. With the increase of characters, more and more Chaoshen Sports shoes will be produced.

It's not considered an investment now, even if it's a sponsorship, it won't cost too much money, and the shoes of Chaoshen Sports are very anime, the author Tadatoshi Fujimaki should also like it.

And why is Jiang Chao in such a hurry?

Because if it really becomes popular, Chaoshen Sports will not be able to compete with Asics, Onitsuka Tiger, and Mizuno. This is a national enterprise in Neon’s own country. Whatever it says, it will give the endorsement to its own people.

Jiang Chao also had no choice. If it weren't for the weak animation industry of Tianchao, he would not go to Neon, a big country in the animation industry.

He can't let him take advantage of the fact that "Basketball Fire" hasn't started broadcasting on Hunan TV, and turn the sneakers of Dongfangxiang and Wujizun into super god sports...

That's outrageous.
