Chapter 322 Entering the comics industry!

In addition to registering the 2D company as the parent company in Xiangjiang, Yang Ming is planning to register the 2D trademark in advance in Japan, China, Europe and other places.

As long as he gives orders for these things, someone will soon do them well.

What Yang Ming is worried about now is that even if he knows a lot about Mirai Toyo comics, he will not be able to turn his ideas into finished products without a dedicated cartoonist.

So take the current situation in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong also has its own Hong Kong comics, but compared with Japanese comics, Hong Kong comics are still far behind, and there are not many that are worth it.

Yang Ming remembers Hong Kong comics. The most famous ones are probably "The Storm", "Heroes of China", "Dragon and Tiger Gate", and "Young and Dangerous". Among them, "Young and Dangerous" later spawned many Hong Kong movies, and they also taught bad things. Many young people.

Apart from these, there was really too little to offer. Later, Hong Kong comics, like Hong Kong movies, were gradually disappearing.

On the contrary, Hong Kong movies were still popular in Asia in the 1980s and 1990s, but Hong Kong comics were far behind, and they were not even popular.

In this case, even Xiangjiang has talents in this field of comics, which is not what Yang Ming is looking for. This means that to develop Oriental comics, he must poach talents from Oriental.

At this point, just like Yang Ming's development of video games, he needs to tap relevant talents from Japan.

"Boss, do you want to recruit comic talents from Japan to develop in Hong Kong?" Melis asked.

"That's true."

For him, the most valuable comics to him should be those comics that were very popular in Future Toyo in history. They have not appeared yet and are still in his mind.

It is also possible to establish a comic company in Dongyang. The problem is that Yang Ming cannot go to Dongyang at any time.

Now the Imperial Group is on the Dongyang side, where Xu Qingsheng is in charge.

Yang Ming regards Xiangjiang as his base camp, so the key things must be placed in Xiangjiang.

We will wait for the finished product to be released and then put it on the market in Japan.

"If that's the case, you can contact Xu Qingsheng from Dongyang, or ask Nisikado Tomohiro."

Tomohiro Nishikado?

Yang Ming felt that Tomohiro Nisikado could indeed do it.

Tomohiro Nishikado is now the design director of Imperial Games Company. Under his leadership, many talents in the Toyo gaming industry have joined Imperial Games Company.

In terms of comics, Yang Ming thinks it's okay.

Yang Ming and Mai Lisi finished chatting.

Yang Ming went downstairs to the 28th floor.

At this time, Tomohiro Nisikado was leading the game design department to develop several new games at the same time.

When Yang Ming came down, Nisikado Tomohiro had already come out to greet him.

"Boss." Nisikado Tomohiro greeted.

"How is the development of the game going now?"

"Boss, the development progress of several games like "Hong Kong Cube" is very good, but the development of "Street Fighter" is more difficult."

Historically, "Street Fighter" is a fighting stand-alone game series first launched by Toyo Capcom in 1987. Now it is 10 years ahead of schedule, so it is naturally much more difficult to develop it.

Despite all aspects of the main game structure that Yang Ming has provided, it is still a somewhat complex game after all.

After Yang Ming visited the current development progress of these games, he and Tomohiro Nisikado came to his chairman's office.

Here in the office, Yang Ming looked at Tomohiro Nisikado and asked: "Tomohiro Nisikado, I am planning to enter and develop the comics industry. I wonder if you have any friends in this field in Japan?"

The boss wants to enter the comic industry?

Tomohiro Nisikado was a little surprised, but felt it was normal.

Since the boss understands the value of these video games, he must also know the value of comics.

Now that Japanese comics have developed to a certain maturity, there have been "Doraemon", "Science Ninja Team", "Lupine III", "Mazinger Z", etc., which have played a significant role in the development of the Japanese comic market. important role.

After the 1980s, Oriental comics developed on a large scale, went beyond the Orient and expanded globally, becoming a symbol of Oriental soft culture.

Tomohiro Nisikado is a man with a science major. When he was studying, he could be regarded as an otaku. He rarely communicated with other people in the past. Privately, he still liked reading comics.

It is very easy to read comics in Japan. You can see them in bookstores and newsstands everywhere.

However, he did not know the comic author.

The main reason is that nine out of ten cartoonists in Japan are poor. Basically, they cannot support themselves and have to rely on other jobs to support themselves. In this case, those who can stand out and become professional cartoonists There are really not many people.

Tomohiro Nisikado shook his head and said, "Boss, I don't know much about this."

Yang Ming thinks so.

Nowadays, cartoons in Japan have begun to enter a mature stage, but they are not as good as they were in the 1980s or even the 1990s. This means that most cartoonists in Japan cannot support themselves.

"I am going to recruit a group of cartoonists from Japan to come to Hong Kong to develop. I will give them a fixed salary and provide them with themes and outlines. I wonder if they are willing to come?"

To poach Xiangjiang for development?

If it were in Japan and Mr. Yang gave those cartoonists a fixed salary, many people would definitely sign up.

It would be difficult for them to leave Dongyang and come to Xiangjiang.

"Boss, it's a bit difficult. Many of those cartoonists don't like contact with the outside world. Under such circumstances, it will be even harder for them to leave Japan and come to unfamiliar Hong Kong."

In fact, Tomohiro Nishikado is talking about a otaku.

Why are there so many comics in Japan?

In fact, it is related to the dead otaku and otaku.

Whether they are cartoonists or comic readers, many of them are relatively homebound. They do not want to contact the outside world at all, so the second dimension, this virtual world, appeared.

These otakus and otakus would rather immerse themselves in the virtual two-dimensional world than contact the outside world.

"There should be some who are willing to come."

"Boss, let me help you look for it," Nisikado Tomohiro said.

Thinking about those Japanese cartoonists who are otakus and otakus, very few of them are willing to come to Hong Kong to develop their careers.

However, you still have to look for it first.

If it didn't work, Yang Ming could only ask Xu Qingsheng to buy a comic company in Japan and find a group of cartoonists to draw for him in Japan.

Yang Ming finished chatting with Nisikado Tomohiro.

After Tomohiro Nisikado went back to work.

Yang Ming called Xu Qingsheng in Dongyang again.

Xu Qingsheng had become accustomed to life in Dongyang. Suddenly, Xu Qingsheng was surprised when he received a call from his boss from Xiangjiang.

During this period, Xu Qingsheng has been poaching Taitong and other Toyo game companies.

Among them, Akio Nakanishi of Taidong, because Xu Qingsheng chatted with him a lot. In addition, now that the Empire Group and Empire Games are getting better and better, it is impossible to say that Akio Nakanishi is not moved.

Xu Qingsheng promised him that as long as he joins Imperial Games, the position of the general manager of Dongyang will be handed over to him when the time comes. This is much better than before.

However, Akio Nakanishi still has no plans to leave Taitung. Mikhail Kogan, the boss of Taitung, may have already become suspicious of Akio Nakanishi.
