Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 97
"Your comic skills are definitely world-class. It's a pity that your talents are buried in Hong Kong Island!"

After some communication between the two, Jiro Tsunoda has come to believe the fact that Li Wannian is Long Live.

Li Wannian's knowledge reserve, aesthetic height, and understanding of comics all impressed Tsunoda.

And the more he talked with him, the more Tsunoda sighed, how could there be such a powerful cartoonist in Hong Kong Island?

"I don't think I will be buried. Didn't my comics get seen by President Tsunoda?"

"That's because I came to Hong Kong Island!"

"Even if you don't come to Hong Kong Island, you can still see it in a few years!"

"Oh? So, your comics are ready to be distributed overseas?"

"Actually, it's always been there, but the steps haven't been that big."

Of course, what Li Wannian said is true.

Li Wannian still knows that if you take a big step, you will easily lose your temper.

Li Wannian has always attached great importance to overseas markets. He even set the goal of going beyond Hong Kong Island when he first started drawing comics.

However, he also knows that this is very difficult. Even after nearly three years of hard work, DreamWorks still does not have the strength to fully distribute overseas.

Even Southeast Asia has not been completely conquered. After all, there are too many Southeast Asian countries, and each country has complicated internal situations. It is difficult to achieve it in one step like a unified big market.

Therefore, from the very beginning, his plan was to first stabilize the domestic market before fighting against the outside world, first stabilize Hong Kong Island as the two-dimensional basic base, and then gradually conquer Wanwan and Southeast Asia to become his own territory, and then move towards Bangzi and Neon. and even the development of Omi.

As for the mainland, the time is not yet ripe at present, and he still needs to wait for policy changes. Once the time is ripe, he will quickly go north, and he believes that he is definitely the biggest winner in this market.

At this time, with the liberalization of the mainland, the desire for spiritual culture in this billion-level blank market has reached the point where there is no distinction between raw and cold. No matter what kind of cultural works, the essence or the dross, they will accept them all!

In terms of geographical location, I am located on Hong Kong Island, which is the closest place to the mainland and can enter the mainland the fastest.

In terms of people and people, the same Chinese language, the same culture, and the same country make it easier for the people in mainland China to accept their own cultural products.

With the right time, place and people in his hands, how could he lose to Flying Dragon Rider?
"So there will also be Japanese versions of "Death" and "Parasite" in the future?"

When talking about comics, Tsunoda's eyes light up, and it seems like he really loves comics.

"Of course, everything will be there, and when the time comes, they will land on Neon together with animation! You can even introduce me to a publishing house!"

"No problem, don't worry. I'm very familiar with the publisher. I'll introduce it to you later! Hahaha, I'm really looking forward to the Japanese version of "Parasite". Please be sure to give me a few more copies when the time comes. Comics, I will definitely invite my good friends to enjoy them!"

"Of course, when the Japanese version of the comic is printed, I will give it to you as soon as possible!" Although Jiro Tsunoda is not famous, his circle of friends is full of great people.

In 1953, Osamu Tezuka moved into the "Tokiwa-so" apartment in Shiina-cho, Toshima-ku, Tokyo, and started creating comics from this base.

After that, many cartoonists came one after another to accept his guidance and teachings.

Does it sound familiar?

Yes, Osamu Tezuka did it too!

What Li Wannian is experiencing now is just repeating the path Tezuka Osamu took back then!

In this famous "Tokiwaso" apartment, many well-known cartoonists have emerged, including Fujiko Fujio, the father of "Doraemon" and "The Smiling Salesman", Shotaro Ishimori, the author of "Kamen Rider", and Akatsuka Fujio, known as the "King of Comedy Comics", as well as more than 20 cartoonists such as Hiroo Terada and Naoya Moriyasu have lived here.

Jiro Tsunoda is one of them.

Although Li Wannian didn't know Jiro Tsunoda's experience, he knew that Jiro Tsunoda was the vice president of Insect Production Co., Ltd. after all, and he presumably had a good relationship with Osamu Tezuka.

It never hurts to have an extra friend!
Who would have thought that the two of them are obviously competitors, and the animations produced by their respective companies are about to compete in Hong Kong Island, but the two of them are sitting together talking and laughing like friends they have not seen for many years?
Just when the two were chatting happily, the wireless station quickly broadcast the neon animation they introduced. From signing the contract to broadcasting, it only took three days.

This kind of efficiency is extremely fast for a wireless station.

The first animation played here is "Astro Boy".

This animation is undoubtedly Osamu Tezuka's most famous animation.

In order to produce this animation, Osamu Tezuka first serialized it in the "Shounen" manga magazine of "Kobunsha", then established Mushi Production Co., Ltd., and formulated a series of regulations that will affect the future development of the entire neon animation industry. This animation was produced.

It took a total of 11 years from drawing comics to completing animation production and broadcasting!
It was really because of the vinegar that I made this dumpling meal.

However, when "Iron Wall Astro Boy" was aired, the results were quite impressive. Neon TV achieved a national average ratings of 30%, with the highest rating reaching 40.7% at one time, becoming Neon TV's flagship TV show. An insurmountable height in the history of animation that has not been broken.

The broadcast of this classic animation on Hong Kong Island did have a huge impact on Phoenix TV. On the day of the broadcast, the ratings of "Animation City" actually dropped below 50% to 49.6%, while TVB's The ratings rose to 38.2%, and the gap between the two parties was narrowed to 11 percentage points. The effect is significant!
And this is only the first episode!
Regarding this situation, the top management of Phoenix TV and DreamWorks were panicked!
In the current competition between Phoenix TV and wireless stations, wireless stations are obviously the dominant side. Phoenix TV can only suppress wireless stations in a few programs.

And "Animation City" is undoubtedly the trump card among them. This program can be said to be the favorite program of Hong Kong Island children, and no one can shake it.

But now, relying on the Neon plug-in, the wireless station has quickly narrowed the gap with Hong Kong Island, and actually dug a hole in the moat of Phoenix Station.

Nowadays, wireless stations have achieved good results. If Li's TV station sees an opportunity here, will they also introduce it?
At that time, the TV station's most popular programs will disappear, which will have a huge impact on the TV station and easily shake the confidence of advertisers.

As a result, the once-dominant program was demoted. Shao Liushu's move was a ruthless one!
