American Fortune Life

According to Hollywood logic, movies can be adapted into various forms such as comics, TV, animation, toys, games, etc., and vice versa.

Successful cases are not uncommon. Both DC and Marvel's superhero comics have been adapted into a movie universe, and Hasbro's Transformers toys have also been made into a super blockbuster at the global box office by Michael Bay.

The maturity of the foot basin animation industry is not inferior to that of the Hollywood film industry. Excellent creators with a "suffocating" creative thinking are undoubtedly a "gold mine" for Hollywood, and they will definitely dig deeper. In particular, the textual research, assumptions, and delicate and detailed descriptions of future technology in Japanese manga have created a unique world view and attracted many science fiction fans.

But imagination is always beautiful, reality is often skinny. The adaptation of animation masterpieces has always been difficult to make breakthroughs, and has even been dubbed "destroying the original".

"Mr. Smith, we are very willing to cooperate with you. However, some requests from Universal Pictures really make us very embarrassed. After all, our cooperation with our American partners has always been very satisfactory."

"No, no, Mr. Horiuchi, don't get me wrong. I'm not interested in destroying the cooperation between you and the American middlemen. What I want is the copyright of the online broadcast. Their self-censorship has ruined excellent works. I think that You should be clear, and my HULU video is the second largest professional video website in the United States. We will re-dub your works, and put them on HULU without any modification at all, so that Japanese fans can watch them.

Of course, the right to adapt movies and television, as well as the copyrights related to animation, we Universal Pictures also need to take it into our pockets. I believe your company can understand this.

Believe me, if Riman does not make changes in the US market, it will eventually be completely marginalized. Leave it to me, and we can create a brand new future. I am still very confident in this regard, after all, Marvel is the best Example, no? "

Andy looked at the embarrassed Shueisha President Horiuchi Marue, and smiled confidently, persuading him by presenting facts and giving examples.

"Of course, of course, Mr. Smith, your talent and ability are unquestionable, and I deeply admire you"

Andy smiled and shook his head and waved his hands. He smiled calmly at Horiuchi Marue's praise and said: "This time, I came to seek direct contact with the publisher of the foot basin, hoping to break out of the previous pattern and make Japanese The comic book market has recovered in the United States and will not repeat the same mistakes!

In my opinion, since Riman chooses to adapt, it should boldly jump out of the shackles of the inherent model. Even if it takes a lot of effort, the relationship between the characters in the original work and the background of the times must be clearly explained. Only with sufficient foreshadowing can there be a better development.

Otherwise, repeating the old tricks will only be reduced to popcorn.

Even at the moment, Hollywood's technical level is sufficient to present various bridges in animation. What is needed to complete the real-life animation is sincerity, try to maintain the spiritual level of the original work, and boldly jump out of the cage of "whitewashing" in the selection of actors, in order to make animation IP into a real-life work of conscience. "

At this time, the president of Shueisha, Horiuchi Marue, was extremely contradictory. He was very happy with the olive branch thrown by Andy Smith, as well as the interest and value recognition shown in Japanese manga, but he was very happy with the young richest man in the world. Without him, Andy Smith didn't want two or three anime copyrights, but wanted to package most of Shueisha's famous anime IPs.

Naruto, One Piece, Gintama, Yu-Gi-Oh, Saint Seiya, Slam Dunk, Death Note, Tokyo Ghoul, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Hokuto God's Fist", "The Prince of Tennis", "Reaper", "Urban Legend", "The Prisoner of Food", "The Exorcist Boy Y-man".

It's a catch-all. Horiuchi Marue is really entangled and has a lot of worries. After all, once the film and television adaptation rights are sold, Shueisha may really say nothing. The bloody failure example of "Dragon Ball" is in front of you, and you can't help it Do not think carefully.

"Movies are a big cake, and everyone wants a piece of it. Moreover, movies have always had a much wider audience than comics, and the scope of influence that a phenomenon-level comic can achieve is limited to a few countries in Asia. , is not bad, but the audience of a movie can be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, affecting countries all over the world. Your company needs more consumers in order to establish its own world brand image.

I can promise that these IPs will be respected and seriously developed like Marvel’s superheroes, and the original authors will be invited to participate in the writing of the script. To be honest, I already have preliminary plans, such as "Slam Dunk" and "Death Note" The three IPs of "Fist of the North Star" have entered my adaptation plan. If we reach a cooperation agreement, we will select one of them as soon as possible and prepare for it. If everything goes well, you will be able to watch it in the next two to three years. to a Hollywood movie of one of them. "

Andy continued to increase the bargaining chip, luring Horiuchi Marue to make a decision. What he said tonight is very tempting for any publishing house. He really didn't believe that the other party would miss this kind of news. Chance.

"Mr. Smith, thank you very much for your attention and recognition. I really hope to cooperate with Universal Pictures. However, there are too many copyrights involved. I cannot make a decision by myself. I still need to seek Let’s take a look at the opinions of the original authors and listen to their thoughts and decisions, so I’m very sorry, but I can’t give you a satisfactory answer right now, please forgive me.”

Speaking, Horiuchi Marue bowed slightly to Andy very seriously, and Andy looked at Horiuchi Marue who was at least 20 years older than himself and bowed in front of him again, and he was really powerless to complain about the etiquette of the foot basin , but still said with a smile: "Mr. Horiuchi is no different. This is as it should be. There is no rush. I believe that the cooperation between us will be successfully concluded."

"Thank you. There is no problem at all about the TV anime under Shueisha's broadcasting on HULU video. I am very grateful to Mr. Smith for his help in the footbath animation industry." Horiuchi Marue hurriedly smiled when he heard Andy's words Responded, and told Andy the decision he had just made, in order to alleviate the unhappiness that the young richest man in the world might have caused by his delay in speaking.

"Haha, then wish us a happy cooperation and mutual benefit!"

"Hehe, mutual benefit"

Seeing the scene where Andy Smith and Marue Horiuchi had a happy conversation not far away, Nobuyuki Idei, the host of tonight's reception, slowly faded the smile on his face when he turned around, toasting other guests and nodding as he walked He went to the unoccupied resting area in the corner, sat on the sofa, reached out his hand and signaled to the assistant who was following him, asking him to come over.

"Understood? Go ahead and explain clearly. I don't want any mistakes in this matter!"

"Hi! President, please rest assured that there will be no mistakes. I will make arrangements now." After listening to his boss's instructions, the assistant replied decisively without daring to neglect.

"Well, let's go."

"Hi!"

Looking at the back of the assistant who turned and walked away quickly, Nobuyuki Idei raised his hand, took a sip of the red wine in the glass, narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled slightly, "I don't know if the gift I prepared for you will suit you. What's your mind?"

"Ah! This, this"

At this time, wearing a navy blue and black evening dress, Haruka Ayase, who is both intellectual and elegant yet sexy and charming, has blood red on her pure and lovely fair face, her beautiful eyes are wide open in surprise, and she stretches out her little hand to cover it. I exclaimed, with an expression of disbelief, a little incoherent and didn't know what to say.

At the same time, there were three other people with the same astonished expression, blushing, and at a loss. The three were Yui Aragaki, Masami Nagasawa, and Satomi Ishihara.

And Sasaki Nozomi, who was also given an order that she could not refuse, had a pretty blushing face as well, but she did not panic, instead, she bowed obediently to the cold-faced visitor, and responded gently: "Please take care of me! "
