Shueisha is one of the three major manga companies in the island nation.

There are countless popular comics under the company, such as the early "Ninja", "Volleyball Boy", "Super Agent" and so on have been changed into animation, not only in the island country, but also has a considerable audience abroad.

The past few years have been fine.

Like in the early years, every time a comic exhibition was held in China, the cosplayers in it all cosplayed the characters in the anime of the island country.

At that time, local animation was still at the level of children's style. In recent years, domestic animation has gradually improved, and games headed by Mihayou have become popular, so this phenomenon is rare.

Island country.

ten o'clock in the morning.

In the conference room of the Shueisha company.

"The matchmaking project with Penguin Animation will be handed over to Section Chief Sato. The president attaches great importance to this cooperation. I hope Section Chief Sato will not let us down."

"Yes, I will try my best."

"Everyone should know the progress of China's local animation in the past few years. Whether our company can win the China market this time depends on this opportunity."

When the domestic comic industry was very backward, the domestic comic companies were united and cooperative. At that time, the comics from the island country could not enter the Chinese market at all.

Now as the comics industry becomes more and more competitive, this kind of cooperation has long since collapsed.

For these comic companies in the island country, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. As long as the works under their company become so popular in China, then basically they will lie down and make money.

"By the way, Section Chief Yamaguchi, do you know a manga artist named Eiichiro Oda?"

"Oda Eiichiro?" Section Chief Yamaguchi frowned, and replied, "I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."

Sitting in front, the president said: "Eiichiro Oda is the author of "One Piece". He is now working for Fuyao Culture Company in China. This work is very popular in the Chinese market."

"I'll ask the editors below to see if they recognize this person later."

"Ah."

After the meeting.

Section Chief Yamaguchi quickly returned to his office. He called all the editors under him and asked straight to the point: "Do you know a cartoonist named Eiichiro Oda?"

Just finished speaking.

Among the group, a man in his thirties wearing glasses said, "Oda?"

"you recognize?"

The man nodded and said, "Well, he has submitted many manuscripts to us. Just in April, he also submitted a long comic manuscript to me, but the beginning of that manuscript was too dull, so I rejected it."

Upon hearing this, Section Chief Yamaguchi stood up from his seat, pointed at the man and said, "You mean...you rejected his manuscript?"

The man didn't understand why Section Chief Yamaguchi was so excited, he stammered, "Yes, yes... is there any problem?"

"Bastard, you bastard, do you know that he has gone to China now? His works are very popular in China!"

"This... this is impossible."

"ばか!"

……

"One Piece" has been updated again!

This news makes the audience who have already entered the pit very excited.

But there is more than one piece of good news.

When the finishing work of Nezha: The Demon Child's Incarnation was basically completed, Shao Yang directly asked these people to take charge of the work of animating "One Piece".

Changing manga to anime is a very common operation.

However, such a situation like One Piece, which has just been drawn for [-] years and then adapted, has basically never happened.

But when Shaoyang spoke, no one in the company broke his mouth.

A group of people quickly invested in the animation project "One Piece". Since Nezha has accumulated a lot of experience, they got started very quickly this time.

Shaoyang also posted a promotional Weibo for "One Piece" at this time, and it took only two hours to post the Weibo.

[One Piece] This entry quickly became the number one search engine's most searched term.

The Weibo below is also full of praise.

"This cartoon is amazing."

"Update quickly!"

"It's a lot to update three chapters a week, but it still feels unsatisfying."

"I just found out that the boss behind Fuyao Culture is also Brother Yang."

"Fighting is so passionate, I haven't seen such a cool cartoon for a long time."

"As a senior comic fan, I recommend this comic to everyone."

"The school doesn't allow mobile phones. Where can I buy booklets? I want to read physical books."

"The author is from an island country. I'm curious how he will work for Brother Yang?"

"I've never read comics, but since Brother Yang recommended them, I'll collect them first."

"..."

The market response of "One Piece" is getting better and better.

Originally, the manga should have been opened for VIP to read ten times, but under Shao Yang's suggestion, the free period of this manga was as many as [-] times.

For a while, "One Piece" became a domestic phenomenon-level comic book, and its influence spread directly to the island country.

island network.

Netizens saw other people's translation of "One Piece".

They all started complaining.

"The author of the cartoon is from our island country, why is it not published in our island country?"

"Where did Eiichiro Oda come from as a manga artist?"

"Is this a comic published by Huaxia Company?"

"My God, is the cultural industry we are proud of going to be stolen by Huaxia?"

"It is conceivable that after a few years, One Piece will occupy the comics market of the island country."

"What a wonderful piece of work."

"Why did such an excellent cartoonist go to China?"

"..."

Of course, many people scolded Eiichiro Oda on the Internet, calling him a traitor.

Eiichiro Oda didn't feel sad when he saw these comments on the Internet, but he felt a little bit refreshed.

At the beginning, when I submitted the manuscript, you said that "One Piece" had no market in the island country. I begged repeatedly, but you still kicked me out of the company.

At that time, I had the idea of ​​jumping off a building.

Without Shaoyang, there would be no "One Piece" (One Piece).

Now that "One Piece" is popular in China, why do you scold me online?

Eiichiro Oda directly posted a post on the line, explaining why he came to China to work.

He also wrote down all the experiences of meeting Shaoyang.

Netizens from the island nation were silent after seeing it.

"One Piece" could have been published in the island country, but the manga companies here didn't like it. Eiichiro Oda went to China because Shaoyang was his Bole, and they were all right.

What was wrong was that Shueisha rejected "One Piece" at the beginning.

Netizens from the island nation ran to Shueisha’s official account to complain and comment.

Shueisha quickly responded:

[I am very disappointed that we have lost such an excellent work. The reason for this situation is entirely because our editor has no vision. We have already fired this editor. I hope that Mr. Oda can return to the island country in the future development, we will personally apologize to you. 】

Making this statement now is purely an afterthought.

Shaoyang's treatment to Oda Eiichiro and the others is many times better than when they were in the island country. In addition, One Piece has just started, so it is impossible for them to return to the island country.

As "One Piece" became more and more popular, the traffic of Fuyao comics website also increased rapidly.

Even Penguin took the initiative to bow its head, and honestly sent someone to call Shaoyang, hoping that the animation of "One Piece" would be released on Penguin Video in the future.

When everything is going in a good direction.

Shaoyang also began to prepare for the long overdue wedding.
