Cartoonist's Dream

On Thursday, January 1, the first day of the new year in the international sense, the weather forecast said that the roads in the outlying islands of the New Territories were covered with frost.But the temperature on the island is still hovering around 1°, so you only need to wear a small coat when you go out.

In an office building in the warm downtown area of ​​the island.

Li Mu wandered around with a large piece of paper full of names, and handed it to everyone to read it.On the piece of paper are written the names of several major comic and animation companies in Asia and the names of their bosses——

【President of SP Club—Nukawa Sushi】

【President of Sunrose Club——Takashi Yoshii】[

【President of Toei Corporation——Oyama Tokugawa】

……

【tms——Honda Lixiong】

【t——Pear wood】

The bright morning light illuminates the walls of the building, and the scenery outside is particularly comfortable, with seaways and islands criss-crossing.

A commune member who had gone away was caught by Limu.

******

Mind reading is very useful in professions such as detective, counselor, mind magician, etc.Some detectives can judge whether others are lying through the subtle vibration of vocal cords, and some consultants can tell what the visitor is thinking at a glance.

"Which of the above manga and animation clubs are you familiar with?"

Li Mu asked this question casually, and seeing the member express his opinion slightly, his heart was moved, and the answer he wanted to know was immediately revealed.

I saw the eyeballs of the member trembled slightly, and he pointed out the place of concern in his heart inadvertently.

That was the position of a certain name on the paper. Of course, the paper had been put aside by the members at this time.Although the paper is not standing in front of the members, there is still an afterimage in his mind that stands before his eyes.That afterimage is not a color negative afterimage.Perhaps it is better to call it "impression".

It's like being asked "where is your bed at home" at the office desk, the respondent will unconsciously position the desk in front of him as a desk, a three-dimensional map will appear in his mind, and his eyes will simultaneously Glanced in the same direction as the bed.The mind reader can easily guess the layout of the room before the subject speaks.

This kind of induced mind reading has a high accuracy rate, and it is one of the skills Li Mu learned from the Department of Psychological Science in Cambridge.

"Shangguo Publishing House and T Publishing House." The employee answered calmly.

"Only Shangguo and T?".Li Mu looked away from the white-collar worker's face, as if he no longer paid attention to the expression on his face, which made him return to a relaxed state of mind.

So in a slightly relaxed state, at the narrow corner of Limu's vision, the white-collar touched his nose——

"Yes. Other comic agencies are relatively unknown."

"Thank you very much for your cooperation." Li Mu nodded slightly. [

——Is it TMS this time?

sunrose, sp, ns, enx... even Toei also participated.I thought that Japanese comics would not deal with Shangguo Publishing House, which only has a fraction of 003% gp.But under the established facts, Limu cannot deny it.

He used the established facts as clues to delve into the reason, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly knew.

In the future, 60% of the manga and animation works in the world will come from Japan.Japan will become the world's largest exporter of animation industry creation.In other words.Japan set the international market as a hunting target as early as the last century!

Riman can be said to have a profound influence on later generations.Not to mention direct data, which accounts for 60% of the world.It is other creative industries in China, such as novels, that have been influenced by it.The creativity of writers is imprisoned by manga and animation, and various fan fictions are flooded.Urban, sci-fi, fantasy, and fantasy themes apply the framework of Japanese comics without thinking.

So... creators of the fiction industry lose their creativity.

It is difficult for them to create new characters and construct a new worldview.

Of course, whether it is "original creation" or "re-creation", hard-working creators have put in their best efforts.Similar to this, mathematical calculation is also repeated use of the same calculation formula to solve problems.However, "applying formulas" and "creating formulas" should not be confused with each other after all.

Speaking of "applying" is a kind of habit.China's martial arts culture is also famous overseas through the hands of Jin Yong and Gu Long, and it is also popular to recreate it in TV dramas, novels, and comics.Novices in Japanese manga mostly borrow the framework of famous works, and gradually move from "doujin manga" to professional manga.

The topic gradually drifted away, and I regained my thoughts.

Anyway...

There is indeed an irreconcilable conflict between Shangguo's business strategy and Riman's strategic plan.

Although T and Shangguo now only account for a fraction of the domestic GP, the main sales places have always been located abroad, which means they have robbed Japan of the future market.As the saying goes, blocking people's money is like killing their parents. T and Shangguo have undoubtedly shaken Riman's dominance in the international world.

In the future, Japanese manga will dominate 60% of the world!The Manga Association happens to be the navigator of the Japanese manga and animation industry.If Limu were to be the chairman, he would also not regard the rising Shangguo company as a cloud.

Not to mention admiration, at least they will treat each other differently!

Therefore, either use formal commercial means to suppress it as soon as possible, or use conspiracy and tricks to frame it behind the scenes, or use physical carbon-based destruction if it doesn't work.

"...Isn't it easier and quicker to just kill them instead of slowly carrying out commercial suppression?!"

After the investigation, Li Mu took the exam while leaving the company building.

The chief culprit of the Lu Lingling incident must be the current president of the Japanese Manga Association, at least as the president of this association, it is inseparable from this matter.

This kind of speculation cannot be said to be all right or all wrong.

Chairman kw learned of the plan to tease Lu Lingling at the end of November, which was reported to him by his subordinates.The plan was just to keep Lu Lingling awake for two weeks. After all, it wasn't a big deal, so the president turned a blind eye and acquiesced to his subordinates' actions.

Unexpectedly, the incident took a drastic change in a short period of time.Whether it's the little-known ghost story about the secretary's house, or the imperceptible inner hints in the radical circle, or the unstoppable live human flesh hot pot before Christmas Eve... The secret and mutation of the deep plan make people Chairman kw was caught off guard. [

Whether it is the mastermind or the accomplice.

Anyway, the murder incident was caused by Japan.To untie the bell, one must tie the bell.Li Mufa mediates on its own, unless someone takes the initiative to take the blame.

"It is necessary to have a direct dialogue with the Japan Manga Association."

Make up your mind.

Li Mu quickly returned to the hotel.

……

This time, he didn't hide anything from everyone.It is difficult to distinguish whether the previous incident was yin or yang, but now it has been cleared up, and it should be made public.

"About Lu Lingling, I have something to tell everyone."

In the hotel, this is what Li Mu said at the time.

Seeing his stern appearance, all the girls were stunned for a moment, each with strange expressions.

"Teacher Limu...is it a good thing or a bad thing?" Ryoko asked anxiously.

"It's not good or bad." Li Mu replied.

"Hey, don't say such ambiguous words. If you have anything to say, just say it straight out. It makes people feel nervous. What did you and Chili pepper discover?"

Wang Bingyu asked impatiently.

Li Mu pressed her hand down, telling her to be calm for now.

"Find a comfortable place to sit down and drink a glass of water. I hope you won't get excited after I tell you."

In the end it was Lu Lingling who really took drugs and killed people.Or maybe things took another turn.These are difficult to detect from Li Mu's blunt and serious face.

"Then I said it!"

Li Mu watched everyone sit down peacefully.The expression on his face became more relaxed as his body relaxed, and only then did he describe the results of his test...

The detailed process of the investigation

business tycoon involved

Lu Lingling's Various Experiences

...and the entire Shangguo company is full of people with ulterior motives who intend to murder Lingling!

As the narrator, Li Mu felt his heart was chilled.

Listening to this, Ryoko burst into tears.She covered her face with her sleeves, her hands trembling.

Anya's green eyes were flowing, and the cold air was leaking out like profound ice, and a layer of frost had condensed on her fair skin.

When Li Mu finished speaking, Wang Bingyu stood up suddenly, her body was trembling, and two streams of anger seemed to spew out from her usually cold eyes!

The people who were originally flattered and humiliated seemed to have lost their minds, and this scene was definitely not what Li Mu wanted to see.

"Are you all right! Calm down first, your appearance is too worrying! The most urgent thing to delay is to calmly think about what we need"

One is the confession of guilt by Riman, and the other is the evidence to assist in solving the case.

So... everyone should divide into two groups.The detective sisters were responsible for leading the team to collect useful information, and the stalker Muzi was also "cruelly left behind"; Limu needed to apply for a tourist visa, and flew to Japan with Ryoko for an interview the next day.

Of course, if you want to have a dialogue with the high-level executives of the Manga Association through formal channels, you must make a phone appointment in advance.It is still difficult for ordinary people to obtain the number of the Manga Association, rather, it is necessary to have a dialogue with the senior management of the Manga Association.

Fortunately, Li Mu is no longer the brat who couldn't stop making contributions, and Wang Bingyu and the detective sisters can provide him with numbers at any time.Japan country code 0081, Tokyo area code 03, Manga Association tel03-3209-617...

Toot to make a call.

"Private は t club の リ ム, tomorrow private と あ な た の の を 见に行きます. で は, す ぐ に え え て! (I am Li Mu from t publishing company, I have something to meet with your president tomorrow, please report it quickly! )”

With a rough way of talking, without any polite words, Li Mu directly conveyed his meaning.

The person who answered the phone was just an ordinary customer service person, who was surprised to hear Li Mu's blunt command tone, and was shocked when he recalled the seemingly unfamiliar but familiar title "リム".

Of course, he had heard of the title of genius manga boy in the manga association, but he was a celebrity who was often talked about by various presidents... But he didn't know that Li Mu was also the existence that made them worry.

The customer service did not dare to be negligent, and even reported to the president of their own house.

Meeting room upstairs.

President KW and President Sunrose both stood by the huge glass, looking down at the endlessly stretched streets.On the bustling street, there are five steps, one pavilion and ten steps and one pavilion. They either sell comics or comics peripherals, and there is an endless stream of people entering and leaving the store.Anime, mobile phone chains, key chains, they constitute Japan's diverse culture.

"I'm not blaming Nun Chuan, he is also thinking about the country, but his actions are too extreme." President kw sighed, "Alas, with the acceleration of the globalization process, the cultural competition among countries is becoming more and more fierce. I really can't imagine the decline of manga What will become of Japan."

"You are worrying too much." Yoshii smiled and said: "Our comic industry has been growing. When the world enters the Internet age, our comics will flood the entire earth. Besides, this operation is still secretive and difficult to find. Could it be that Lu Can the miss murder implicate us? Even if it is discovered, it won't have a big impact on us."

"That's true. Although China is becoming more and more powerful, it is a country without culture." Chairman kw said with a smile, "No matter how strong a country without culture is, it will be in vain, just like a ship without a keel, it is difficult to travel far..."

Jingling, the telephone in the meeting room rang.

#@￥%&%$^…

Chairman kw returned to the table and picked up the phone, but his expression gradually became weird, and he returned to normal after putting down the microphone.

"Ok?"

President Yoshii looked at the president in doubt.The latter rubbed his eyebrows and said:

"Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, that kid is coming."

"That kid?" President Yoshii responded quickly, "Rimu? So fast?"

The time of the incident was Christmas Eve. It should have been after Christmas when the news reached the mainland. Today is the first day after the Manga Association's year-end meeting.During the period, the operation time was only four or five days, and Li Mu's reaction speed was too fast.

"Don't forget, before the manga writer, he was quite a tricky genius."

Chairman kw said worriedly.

"President, you praise him too much." Yoshii smiled and comforted, "It's just a little genius. There are so many people who are called geniuses in the whole world, as small as our Tokyo city. He can't have the current achievements under his name." , the credit has to be attributed to our divorce plan. If it weren't for the women from Shangguo to help him manage it, he would be just a small author."

"That's right..." President KW rubbed his chin and pondered. (to be continued...)
