Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 101 Conditions for Joint Operations

Xiong Gu Xuandian scratched his thinning hair, and said helplessly, "I'll try my best."

After finishing speaking, Kumagai Xuandian began to pack up the manuscripts, thinking about how to communicate with his superiors, and discuss the cooperation that was destined to be very difficult.

"Kumatani-san, don't worry, there is only one condition for cooperation with Cheda Masami. This manga is serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday, and there is a second condition."

Hanyu Hideki stopped Kumagai Gennori who was about to leave.

"What conditions, Hanyu-san, please tell me."

Xiong Gu Xuandian stopped his movements and listened attentively.

After the sales of "Love, Go Home" exploded, the entire elementary school wished to worship Hideki Hanyu as a bodhisattva.

No, it shouldn't be a Bodhisattva, it should be offered like the God of Wealth.

For the entire Shogakukan Co., Ltd., the sales of all channels announced last year totaled just over 1000 billion yen.

Since Hideki Hanyu's debut in April, ignoring peripheral income and the sales of "Children's Literature and Art", and only counting the sales of published books, Neon territory alone has exceeded 20 billion.

……

That's why Hakumagani Gen and Fujidai collaborated on "Magic Snack Shop" and sent people to learn experience.

As soon as they heard that Yu Kumagai Gen wanted to cooperate with JUMP's main character, several people in charge immediately felt that it was not difficult.

"As for the actors, you haven't contacted the brokerage firms you have cooperated with. We have provided information on many actors. Hanyu-san can't look at it."

In case Yu Qu Meichen's cooperation is depressed, and he can't switch to another publishing house at all, whoever is willing to take over will be able to break the threshold of Yukumagani Xuanjia.

"That's the most important thing to solve before talking about bad cooperation." Ito Shinsuke said.

"Finding a secondment from a photography firm is just a stopgap measure. You still have to build your own team."

Asako Hirohashi, who is in charge of staffing, was the first to speak out about the problem.

Since he still doesn't know what the problem is, Gen Yuguma may repeat the same mistakes.

"You hope that for that comic, you can independently establish a club for copyright management, and jointly manage the peripheral income of that comic."

"Hanyu-san, you have the right to decide that aspect, and it needs to be decided by the leader."

In addition to making money, Hideki Hanyu's blockbuster rise and the social popularity he carries are the best intangible advertisements for Shogakukan.

In the conference room of Yunxia Yinghua, Yu Qu Meichen and eight partners gathered again before watching Johnny & Associates' apology press conference next time.

After saying the conditions, Yu Qu Meichen didn't stay long, and left the University Hall before bidding farewell to Gu Xuandian.

"You will give Hanyu-san an answer as quickly as possible."

Gu Xuandian knew that Yukuma Guxuan's conditions would be complicated, but he thought that the kind of proposal involving the distribution of benefits would be something I could decide.

Now it involves the sharing of copyright proceeds. We are only the person in charge of "Weekly for Many Years Sunday", so how can we manage the distribution of the publishing house's profits.

As soon as I left, Gu Xuandian immediately approached the editor-in-chief of "Weekly for Many Years Sunday" and reported to Gen Hakumagai that he hoped to cooperate with Masami Kurata and that he hoped to jointly operate the copyright.

Based on his identity as a best-selling picture book author, and with the two novels of the same type, he proved his ability to create and sell several genres. Yu Kumagani finally lacked the capital to initially discuss the distribution of benefits with the university library.

As long as the price offered by the opponent is low enough, this agreement on the priority distribution of picture books cannot be bypassed at all.

The later version of "Saint Seiya" seems to be popular, but the sales volume of the manga booklet in Neon is not as exaggerated as expected, far compared to the next "Dragon Ball" of the same period.

As the saying goes, relying on others is like relying on oneself, Gen Hagumagani always believes that these small film clubs can live on their own.

"It does matter, you can't wait for Kumagai-san's reply, but I hope you won't be made to wait too long."

At most, we have to complete the planning of the film project in the next year, knowing what work we have to do, what we can do independently, and what needs to be done jointly by our partners.

As for whether the University Pavilion will be the liveliest, I am worried at all.

But when they heard that Yu Kumagai Xuan wanted to jointly operate and share the surrounding revenue, even the leaders of "Weekly Sunday for Many Years" could not calm down.

The most profitable part of "Saint Seiya" is actually peripheral derivatives, figures, toys, game development, various image licensing and so on.

Shueisha, Toei, and Bandai Games' capital side made a lot of money from the peripherals, but Masami Kurata only got a small profit, but the sales of the single-volume manga that should make the most money were not ideal.

So for Hakumagani Gen, "Saint Seiya" is just a test product.

The most important point is that Yu Kumagai Gen is like these cartoonists who have signed contracts with Manga Weekly. I am a traditional literary writer, and I only have a cooperative relationship with the University Museum, which is basically equal to being free.

Yu Kumagai Gen found that the number of people was small, so he looked through carefully, but he frowned very slowly.
And I want to jointly operate the copyright, there is no reason other than income.

Compared with comics, animations made with 2.5D technology for the first time are far less well-known than comics.

This is the most active way to learn the operating methods of the University Museum in that area, and to accumulate experience for the recent development of "Pokémon".

Very slowly, it has nothing to do with the original manuscript of "Saint Seiya", and the work evaluation given by "Weekly Years Sunday", the cooperation plan with Masamoto Kurata, and the request of Yukumagani Gen to share the copyright income, were placed in the University of Co., Ltd. Under the desk of the museum's president, Tetsuo Saga.

Originally, I went to JUMP to talk about cooperation, but we were not too weak on our own.

It is difficult to measure with money to improve the brand value of Xiaoguan and increase its attractiveness to talents.

Therefore, regarding Yu Xiong Guxuan's conditions, Gu Xuandiandian dared to live the most.

Just one person has increased the turnover of Xiaoxiaoguan by [-]%. If we count peripheral income and overseas sales, this ratio will continue to increase.

The distribution under that kind of benefit is even, and it is also one of the important reasons why Masami Kurata and the publishing house fell out, which eventually led to the dismal end of "Saint Seiya".

As a result, after working for a while, I realized that there are really many problems that need to be solved.

Seeing that everyone has the right to decide, no one has made such a suggestion.

In addition to discussing some specific work of Yunxia Films, Xiaojia also summed up the preparatory work for "Love, Go Home".

Besides, I am one of these cartoonists who have signed contracts with weekly magazines. The University Pavilion is willing to, and I can't change partners at all.

Yu Kumagai Xuantu saw it poorly and told me the most important condition.

Shota Yoshioka handed over a stack of actor materials.

Regardless of the cooperation negotiations with Shochiku Films, we still have to push back the work that should be pushed back.

"The recruitment of shooting-related staff has not been smooth, and some professional positions need to be seconded from small photography offices."

There are problems with making more money. Once the money is less, people will slap the stool on his feet. When he goes to borrow someone, he will just wait for the lion to open his mouth.

"Bad, hope to hear bad news."

"Let President Aiga decide."
