Dumped at the beginning: The actor's song became popular all over the Internet

"Although China's comic industry is not as good as that of island countries, it has developed rapidly in recent years."

"Although our company started relatively late, it now occupies a large market share. Our IP "Under One Person" has already generated nearly [-] million in revenue. You must have heard of this comic, right?"

"Well, "Under One Person" is doing very well and has many readers in the island country. The story content is very interesting."

Tao Yiming smiled and said: "This story was also provided by our boss, including the design of the main characters. It was also our boss's idea."

"real?!"

"Yeah." Tao Yiming nodded.

The three of them looked at each other, becoming more and more curious about Shaoyang.

"Now our company has more than [-] employees. In addition to comics, we are also doing animation. The project we are currently working on is an animated film, which is almost completed. By the way... Shao Yang calls you Come on, which project do you want to be responsible for?"

Tao Yiming asked proactively.

Eiichiro Oda immediately told Tao Yiming the story of his first meeting with Shao Yang.

After Tao Yiming listened, he also asked with great interest: "Can you show us your works?"

Tao Yiming was also curious about what kind of work allowed Shaoyang to bring his three counterparts from the island countries back to China all the way.

"of course."

Eiichiro Oda took out his laptop from his backpack, turned it on and found the saved file. After clicking on it, he gave up his position to Tao Yiming.

Tao Yiming stepped forward, swiped the touch pad, and started reading.

There are quite a lot of drawings, at least twenty, and the front ones have all been colored.

The painting skills are very good, and it can be seen that he has a deep foundation.

But whether a comic is popular or not depends not only on its drawing skills. There are so many people who can draw these days. If you pick any college student from the Academy of Fine Arts, he will be able to draw well. The key is to read comics. story content.

Eiichiro Oda named his work One Piece. There is not much eye-catching story content in the front, it is mainly foreshadowing. This may be the reason why this work was rejected in the island country.

Nowadays, the pace of life is getting faster and faster. Whether it is novels, movies, or TV series, everyone is willing to watch something with a faster pace.

This work, at least based on its current content, did not attract Tao Yiming, but Tao Yiming was willing to believe in Shao Yang's vision, and he was about to give a few compliments.

Shaoyang came over.

"How about it?"

Shao Yang stepped forward and asked, "Is the company environment okay?"

Tao Yiming helped translate.

Eiichiro Oda nodded quickly and said: "Very good."

"Brother Tao, I'll leave the three of them to you, and find a few more people to help them. I want their works to be published on our own comic website as quickly as possible."

"No problem, I'll arrange it."

Shao Yang nodded and took out his mobile phone to call Xiaomeng in the administration department. Although she was the administrative manager of Yiyang Brokerage, she was now responsible for many things in the building.

Within a few minutes, Xiao Meng rushed downstairs.

Shao Yang asked directly: "Xiaomeng, I remember that we have a special staff dormitory in our building, right?"

"Ah."

"Are there any empty dormitories?"

"some."

Shao Yang pointed at Eiichiro Oda, Shota Kimura, and Yu Hasegawa and said, "Then you arrange a place for them to live."

"it is good."

Shao Yang said to the three of them again: "This is where you will work from now on. Your place of residence is also in this building. There are shopping malls and supermarkets nearby. Our company also has its own canteen. If you have any needs, you can contact Tao directly. The eldest brother said, of course you can come to me directly, but it is more convenient to go to him, after all, I don’t speak Japanese.”

Tao Yiming translated, and after the three of them listened, they also bowed and thanked them.

Watching Xiaomeng take them away, Tao Yiming quickly asked: "Shaoyang, how much salary should be given to them?"

"How much is the salary of a cartoonist in an island country?"

"It's hard to compare. The annual salary of ordinary people may be only one million yen, but the annual salary of famous people can reach hundreds of millions of yen, or even higher. However, the competition in the manga industry in the island country is fierce, and basically everyone It’s the lower middle class.”

"How about giving them an annual salary of two hundred thousand?"

Tao Yiming nodded and said: "Two hundred thousand is about more than [-] million yen. The company also provides food and accommodation. This salary is considered very high in an island country."

"so be it."

……

With Fuyao Culture as its backer, "One Piece" was launched on the website in just one week.

It was updated ten times in the first week.

It will be updated twice a week, on time on Saturdays and Sundays.

Just as Nezha's project was coming to an end, Tao Yiming sent all the extra manpower to help the three of them, mainly doing some work of coloring the line drawings.

Eiichiro Oda, Shota Kimura, and Yu Hasegawa seemed to have found the value of their existence. They came to the company before it was time to go to work every day, and they were basically the last to leave at night.

In the first month, not many people paid attention to "One Piece", but with the update of content, both the number of people collecting it and the people urging updates have been increasing, and the growth rate is amazing.

Many people, including Tao Yiming, did not expect that comics with this theme would be so popular in China.

But after "One Piece" became popular, Penguin Comics couldn't sit still.

Fuyao Culture started to have "Under One Person", but now the popularity of "Under One Person" has almost dropped, and you have "One Piece", how can this be done?

As a result, the wealthy Penguin Company immediately increased its investment in the comic industry.

In late May, Penguin Comics issued a statement stating that it had signed licensing contracts with many comic companies in the island country, and many popular comics from the island country would soon be launched in the country.

This news made domestic comic fans excited.

“Finally, I don’t have to wait for the subtitles team to translate.”

"It's great. You can see comics from the island country in China."

"I hope it will be updated soon."

""Ghost Blade", "Hunter", and "Mischief Girl" are all the island comics I'm following. Please release them as soon as possible."

"..."

As soon as Tao Yiming saw the news, he sent it to Shao Yang, but Shao Yang didn't panic at all and replied calmly: "Don't worry, it's enough as we have "One Piece"."

A week later.

Many island comics are published on Penguin Comics.

On that day, the downloads and traffic of Penguin Comics hit a new high, but the strange thing is that Fuyao Culture did not seem to be greatly affected. Instead, "One Piece" updated to Luffy defeating Creek, Sanji (Sanji) After joining the team, the reminder broke the previous record.

After Eiichiro Oda learned that many Shima Manga were released in China, he ran directly to Tao Yiming's office and said firmly: "I want to add more."

"Additional updates?" Tao Yiming looked puzzled. After all, the comics are updated twice a week. It is already a lot.

Eiichiro Oda quickly explained his reason for adding more updates.

Shueisha, which cooperated with Penguin Comics, was the comic company that originally rejected the "One Piece" manuscript.

The reason why Oda Eiichiro took the initiative to ask for additional updates was to let Shueisha know: Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, don't bully young people into poverty!
