This is Yukie Okita's goal and idea. The goal is very ambitious and it is difficult to achieve, but Okita Xuehui feels that she is lucky. The people she meets one after another are all very powerful, such as Long Tao in front of her. With Long Tao's help, she only needs to proceed steadily and step by step to achieve her goals one by one. besides... If you want to continue to expand in the circle, you will definitely need to make a lot of preparations, such as making connections. Many of the people in front of her were people that Okita Yukie had already known before, but their relationship was not close. Okita Yukie also planned to take this opportunity to communicate more with everyone. Aragaki Yi Yi was also very happy because she was deeply touched by what Long Tao had given her. Besides being touched, Aragaki Yi Yi also wanted to try to do something on her own to share some of the pressure for Long Tao. Even if she couldn't share a bit of the pressure for Long Tao, Aragaki Yi Yi felt that even getting the simplest praise from Long Tao was particularly important. Just at this moment, a man pushed the door open and witnessed everything. Chapter 243, Shock
The person who pushed the door open was none other than Aoyama Miyuki. As soon as Aoyama Miyuki pushed the door open, she saw Long Tao, Okita Yukie, and Aragaki Ii together. Miyuki Aoyama had read many reports in anime magazines before, and she was very clear about Okita Yukie's identity. Okita Yukie is the editor-in-chief and general manager of KY Animation. Previously he was the editor-in-chief, and now he is the managing editor. The most fundamental reason why Aoyama Miyuki knew it so clearly was that she had seen Okita Yukie's name and photo when she was reading related reports in a magazine. Okita Yukie is very capable, not only is she very good at running comics, but she is also a strong woman in business. Originally, KY Animation Club was just an ordinary company in the industry, but under the management of Okita Yukie, it not only developed very well, but also the quality of some of the comics it produced was also very good. only. In addition, Aoyama Miyuki also knows another identity of Okita Yukie, which is the daughter of the boss of KY Animation Company. It is easy for a beautiful person to be envied, but if a person is beautiful, has a noble status, and is very capable, in this case, basically, in addition to envy, people will admire him or her more. It is obvious that Yukie Okita is such a character that is admired by others. Aoyama Miyuki admires Yukie Okita very much. Aoyama Miyuki herself also wants to achieve the same results as Yukie Okita, but because she does not know much about the comics industry, she is not planning to make a name for herself in the comics industry, but in the consumer electronics field that she is familiar with. To be more precise, it is the camera industry. but. In Japan, the overall environment is not very friendly to girls. Women who want to hold important positions in important companies face great difficulties. In addition, since Sony itself is a very large company, all levels of society have already solidified. It is basically impossible for Aoyama Miyuki to achieve any success in Sony. Therefore, Aoyama Miyuki's previous thought was to start a business. That’s right, start a business... Apart from starting a business, there is no better way for Aoyama Miyuki. Before, when Aoyama Miyuki was in school, she and Aragaki Ichi had no chance of getting along at all.
Especially since the two of them were in the same dormitory, there were many daily conflicts. Although she and Aragaki Yi Yi did not get along, she did not use her authority and extra resources to suppress Aragaki Yi Yi. He can indeed be considered a relatively upright person. It is true that Cangshan Miyuki's father is one of Sony's experiences, but the resources and money she has at her disposal may not be as much as Long Tao. This is Cangshan Miyuki's own guess, because Long Tao can easily afford a Ferrari, which proves that the funds at his disposal are definitely an astronomical figure. In this case... It is normal for Aoyama Miyuki to have this guess. Now Aoyama Miyuki is watching Ryutao, Okita Yukie, and Aragaki Yi communicating with the bigwigs in the comics circle. This made Cangshan Miyuki feel a little uncomfortable. She has been competing with Aragaki Iyi for popularity in school. There are also many boys who like Aragaki Iyi and Aoyama Miyuki in school. Many boys have confessed their love to Aoyama Miyuki, but they have all been rejected by Aoyama Miyuki. The reason why Miyuki Aoyama refused was because these college students were too ordinary in her opinion. Miyuki Aoyama not only had high demands on herself, but also on her other half. Cangshan Miyuki's view on mate selection is only one point, that is, it is better to be single than to be unsuitable. This is the general direction and principle. In addition, the most basic threshold is that the other party must be stronger than oneself. If the other party's ability is not as strong as oneself, then Cangshan Miyuki will definitely not be willing. This is the truest thought in Aoyama Miyuki's heart. When Miyuki Aoyama was in school, she didn't meet anyone who was particularly good. But Aragaki Ii's popularity has always been comparable to hers, which made Miyuki Aoyama a little angry. It's just that her breasts are not as big as Aragaki Ii's. Why are boys so superficial? They just like girls with big breasts. Now seeing Aragaki Yi Yi and Long Tao together, Aoyama Miyuki is ready to go over and steal their love. She wanted to show her strength. However, before Aoyama Miyuki began to demonstrate her strength, the entire exchange meeting had already begun. First, a beautiful host came up and began to introduce the entire process of today. First, there is an 80-year-old man working in the Japanese comics industry. He is also one of the pioneers in the industry. Let me tell you about the development history of the Japanese comics industry and his outlook for the future. In fact, Long Tao was not very interested in these things. Since he got up early this morning, he felt a little sleepy. then... Long Tao couldn't help but take a nap on the stool. Cangshan Miyuki, who was sitting in the back, was a little confused when she saw that Long Tao couldn't help but fall asleep while sitting on the stool. She felt that Long Tao wasted the gift of heaven. Long Tao was sitting in the sixth seat. Such a good super VIP golden seat, Long Tao not only did not cherish it but also slept here. What was Long Tao's background and identity? This was too outrageous. The thought of this made Aoyama Miyuki feel a little uneasy. If she could get such a good position, she would definitely cherish it and listen carefully. After all, this was a hard-earned exchange meeting. Could it be that Long Tao had some hidden identity? Apart from this explanation, Cangshan Miyuki could not think of any other explanation. Cangshan Miyuki didn't know that Long Tao was just sleepy and wanted to sleep. Apart from that, Long Tao had no interest in these things in the circle, whether it was Cangshan Miyuki or anyone else. It's all the same for Long Tao. He has already made all the necessary connections and resources. Long Tao is not a professional in the development history of the Japanese comics industry, so he does not need to understand it, nor does he need to spend extra time to understand it.
Oftentimes, it is people and things that are important, not the process. Human energy is limited. If a lot of time and energy is spent on following the process, it will not only affect efficiency but also waste time. This is what Long Tao does not want. Aragaki Yi Yi and Long Tao are not the same. For Aragaki Yi Yi, everything today is very novel and very precious, so Aragaki Yi Yi especially cherishes today's opportunity. Aragaki Yi Yi has been listening carefully to the above information. To be honest... Aragaki Yiyi is particularly respectful of such very important information. Because for Aragaki Yiyi, if she wants to develop well in this industry in the future, she must have a comprehensive understanding of the information. Because each person has different life circumstances, their choices are different, and the efforts and attitudes they make are also different. Every approach is right, and whichever suits you is the best. Chapter 244 Depth Charge The opening ceremony process lasted for a long time. This introduction took about fifteen or sixteen minutes to make clear. The second part is that the protagonist and main character of this comic, Akira Toriyama, will come on stage to explain the process of his comic creation. "Hello everyone, I am Akira Toriyama, and I am very happy to meet and communicate with you all. In fact, I am not a talented player. I think I am just a lucky comic author, that's all." I have to say that Akira Toriyama is really too humble, no wonder he can win the favor of so many people. After hearing Toriyama Akira's opening remarks, Long Tao had more respect for this master. In fact, with so many people present, Long Tao couldn't fall asleep at all. He just closed his eyes for a while, and when he heard Toriyama Akira coming on stage, he opened his eyes and prepared to listen carefully. The reason why Long Tao was prepared to listen carefully was actually because Toriyama Akira was a man with a very rich story and someone whom Long Tao particularly respected. If someone else were to make the opening statement, it would definitely be very boastful and exaggerated. When describing their own experiences and processes, they would bring a lot of publicity and packaging. But Akira Toriyama is different. He puts himself in a very low position. Most people put themselves in a very low position, some just go through the motions, some do it to lay the groundwork and show off later, but with someone like Akira Toriyama's status, he puts himself in such a low position, which obviously proves that he doesn't take these things to heart. This is a true master, a master worthy of respect. Followed by. The people below began to applaud. Toriyama continued, "I got into this industry by chance. It's not as easy as everyone thinks, nor is it as difficult as everyone thinks." "Actually, when I was drawing the Dragon Ball comic, I was just bored after work and wanted to find something to do. So I drew this comic. After drawing this comic, I thought that since I had already drawn it, I couldn't just leave it there in vain." "Based on this, I wondered if I could make some money."
"At that time, I was going to submit this comic book for a contract and get some basic royalties, but I never expected that I was lucky enough to be noticed by a comic book company, who then approached me to sign a contract. I got some commissions and royalties. This is how I got on this path." When everyone heard Toriyama Akira's Versailles remarks, they didn't know how to comment. In fact, they had already heard this story of Akira Toriyama a long time ago, but it was not Akira Toriyama who said it, but it was said by the comics company in order to hype it up. The stories told by the comics club contain many twists and turns, as well as setbacks in reality and other similar reasons. It's obviously for packaging and publicity. Now that they hear Akira Toriyama say it so frankly, they are quite impressed. It is not as difficult as everyone imagines, nor is it as simple as everyone imagines. Akira Toriyama said that he was lucky, and indeed after watching one episode, he seemed to be lucky, but if it were not of high quality, Akira Toriyama's comic would definitely not be popular all over the world. Luck is a bonus element, but it is not a necessary element. Akira Toriyama is very humble and open. After sharing his experience, Akira Toriyama said seriously, "In fact, many people enter the comics industry not specifically thinking about making money, or having to create something in this industry. Many people enter this path by accident." "Everyone thinks that the salaries and royalties of comic book authors are very high. In particular, in many cases, they are completely astronomical figures. But what I want to tell you is that only the top writers can get such a terrifying amount of royalties. In fact, for the vast majority of new authors and ordinary authors, their monthly expenses can't even support their food, clothing, housing and transportation." “This is the norm for the entire comics industry.” "In other words, the comics industry is an industry with great randomness and instability. It is also an industry that requires luck and various uncertainties. The vast majority of people here today are comics practitioners, and the vast majority are bosses and general managers of comics companies and various well-known people." “In fact, my purpose for holding today’s exchange meeting is very simple, which is to find a good path for the comics industry.” "Why do we need to explore a good path for the comics industry? The most fundamental reason is that in recent years, we have found that there are more and more homogeneous comics on the market. On the surface, everyone thinks that the increasing homogeneity will improve the company's efficiency in a short period of time, which is a good thing, because it makes money and the company also makes money." "It is actually wrong. To borrow a Chinese poem, it is good to say: Why is the water so clear? Because it comes from a source of fresh water." "The truth of this sentence is that if an industry wants to last, it must have innovation and fresh blood. This is the same for both the authors and readers in the comics industry. From the author's perspective, if the entire market is full of homogeneous content, everyone will rush to follow suit and copy. In the long run, this will not only stifle innovation, but also leave many new authors with no chance of survival." “Without innovation and fresh blood, this industry will soon be dead.” "Don't think I'm exaggerating. If you look at the film industry in Hong Kong, China, you'll see that death is not far away from us. It's just that compared to the film industry, the comics industry is not as asset-heavy and is a little more open." "But... the effect is not as good as everyone imagined." "We can find that in recent years, apart from going overseas, our market share has been getting smaller and smaller. This is due to homogeneity." "I can tell you responsibly that if we don't take some key targeted measures, the comics industry will not be far from death. The fundamental purpose of holding this exchange meeting today is to explore some good ways with everyone to save the entire Japanese comics industry." ... As soon as Akira Toriyama finished speaking, it was like a depth charge dropped into a calm lake. On the surface, it looked very calm, but when the bomb exploded, a huge wave of shocking waves was set off. Originally, when everyone came here, most of them were very happy because they thought this was just a serious way to promote personal connections and daily communication experiences. But when everyone heard what Akira Toriyama said, they suddenly became quiet. Chapter 245 The Comics Industry is Dying Toriyama's words were like a depth charge dropped into a calm lake.
At the beginning, everything was calm and there was no difference at all. Immediately afterwards... Wait until the bomb explodes. Instantly a huge wave arose.
