Top of the big era

Chaowan Commune has been registered.

Now there are only 7 people, in fact, they are the subordinates of Wu Yu, the deputy director of the marketing department of Yuanwei Group, and the office is also in Yuanwei Group, which is still part-time.

However, it is already May, and we have to hurry up to make the blind box, otherwise we will not be able to catch up with the release of "Red Cliff" in Japan.

Zhou Buqi was a little worried about Wu Yu, so he left the team of "Red Cliff", and came to Japan with Wu Yu one day in advance to meet the famous illustrator Masagoko.

This set of blind boxes of the Three Kingdoms series for the Japanese market will be based on his "Emaki Three Kingdoms" drawing. This set of illustrations is very popular in Japan, and it is the first-hand information for many young people to understand the culture of the Three Kingdoms.

Coincidentally, China Film also cooperated with Zheng Zigong before.

Director Chen's "The Promise" is designed by Masahiro Masahiro. For example, the important props in the movie "Flower Armor" are nondescript and inexplicable to Chinese people, and they do not conform to Chinese culture at all. In fact, it was designed by the Japanese, with Japanese aesthetics, in order to open up the Japanese market.

Facts have proved that such a design is relatively successful. If it were not for the support of the Japanese market, "The Promise" would not have made money for China Film, but would have lost money to grandma's family.

With this layer of relationship, it is easy to deal with.

First contact Zheng Zigong through China Film Group, and then come to visit.

Zheng Zigong is also the top illustrator in Asia. He loves Chinese culture very much and can even speak some Chinese. He has painted illustrations of Warring States, Three Kingdoms, and Water Margin, including Wuji's illustration stories. All of these require a deep cultural foundation.

He looks forward to working with China again.

He even directly invited Zhou Buqi and others to his home as guests. His attitude was very friendly, and he spoke Chinese as soon as he spoke. Unfortunately, his level was too poor, and it sounded like a lot of effort.

The subsequent communication went very smoothly.

Zhengzi Gongye's asking price was extremely low, only 5 million yen, which was only more than 300,000 yuan when converted into Huaxia coins. However, he hopes to reap a later profit dividend.

This is also normal. It is unrealistic to hire an artist of this level for 300,000 yuan, which also includes the adaptation copyright of "Painted Scroll Three Kingdoms".

Wu Yu seemed reluctant.

In her opinion, since the family is not short of money anyway, why should it be compensated with future dividends? Just give a sum of money to buy it out. Even if the asking price is 50 million yen, it is only more than 3 million Huaxia coins. One-time payment, then two payments later.

In order to avoid the blind box being sold in Japan in the future, it is necessary to continue to pay dividends to Zheng Zigong. In the long run, the cost will be even greater.

But Zhou Buqi approved of Zhengzi Gongye's cooperation plan.

A mere 5 million yen is not even enough for the right to adapt "Emaki Three Kingdoms". The reason why Zhengzigong set such a low price is for profit sharing after the blind box is launched in the future.

This partnership model benefits both parties.

Can the blind box of the Three Kingdoms series be successful in the Japanese market?

Hard to say!

Although Zhou Buqi had foresight, he seldom used the information from his past and present lives to play the "copy + paste" trick, which never happened in his previous life. There is no case to follow whether this life can be achieved, and we can only follow the business logic to explore and develop.

With the popularity of "Red Cliff", the possibility of blind box selling is very high.

But how long it can be sold and how long the popularity can last, no one can say for sure.

Zhou Buqi's influence in Japan is limited. If he wants to open up the Japanese market, he must rely on local forces as much as possible. Just like YikYak cooperated with Yahoo and invested in Ameba; just like Jingtao acquired a local e-commerce network, and actively opened up the local market through the relationship between Ali and Softbank.

The same is true for the blind box of Chaowan Commune.

Tap into the energy of the locals!

The Zheng Zigong in front of him is the best candidate.

There are many manga artists in Japan, and most of them can't make it to the stage. The illustrator who can really be called an artist and has a huge influence is Masagoko.

Cooperation in the form of "low price + profit sharing" is actually making use of Zhengzi Gongye's local resources.

Want to make big money?

Yes, let the blind boxes of the Three Kingdoms series sell well!

Zheng Zigong will also greatly increase his subjective initiative for his own benefit. You don’t need Chaowan Commune to encourage him, he will actively use all kinds of resources to help promote the Three Kingdoms Blind Box and vigorously advocate the Three Kingdoms culture.

Zhengzigong also earns a small amount of money, and Chaowan Commune makes a lot of money.

Once the blind box of the Three Kingdoms series is successful, the blind box will grab a piece of cake in the gashapon market, and then we can make more novel and interesting blind box series.

Cooperation is very smooth.

The remuneration is 5 million yen, plus 1%-10% of the profit of the Three Kingdoms series of blind boxes in the Japanese market in the future. For every 1 million pieces sold, the profit will increase by one percentage point. After the sales volume exceeds 10 million, there will be a 10% dividend cap. In addition, the food, clothing, housing and transportation for working in the country shall be borne by Party A.

Zheng Zigong also said that he would be given 3-4 days to hand over and deal with the work on the Japanese side, and then he could go to work in China without packing.

We talked for over an hour back and forth.

Mainly the language is not smooth.

In many cases, Ning Yaxian had to translate from it.

Coming out of Zheng Zigong's home, Wu Yu said happily: "This handsome guy is really easy to talk to."

Zhou Buqi said: "What handsome guy? People think your father is older!"

"Really?" Wu Yu was startled for a moment, and then said indifferently, "Anyway, he's a handsome uncle."

Zhou Buqi glared at her, and snorted, "I think you're going to deserve a beating!"

"whee."

Wu Yu held his arm, acting like a baby.

Ning Yaxian smiled lightly and said, "His Chinese is not good enough, and it will be inconvenient for him to communicate after work. You need to hire a translator."

Wu Yu nodded again and again, "Yes, I have to find an interpreter. It's strange, he doesn't even have a manager."

Zhou Buqi explained: "It may be the relationship between China Film Group, which makes him look forward to this cooperation. "The Promise" gave him a chance to enter the film circle, and we gave him the opportunity to enter the blind box circle. More money and less money It's not important, the opportunity to cooperate is the most important."

Wu Yu let out an "oh", and then sighed, "Oh, how pathetic!"

"Pitiful?"

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, not knowing why.

Wu Yu said: "I'm talking about his wife, so pitiful. The handsome uncle doesn't hurt anyone at all. Just let his wife kneel there motionless, like a maid. Did you see when we left? She knelt There to see us off."

Zhou Buqi shook his head and said, "That's not called kneeling, that's kneeling and sitting, it's a social etiquette. In ancient times, when the Hu stool was not introduced in our country, it was also kneeling and sitting. They are at most pirated."

Wu Yu curled her lips and said, "What pirated or genuine ones, anyway, I think Japanese women are so pitiful. Being a wife is like being a servant, it's really humble."

"Well, it's quite humble, far worse than in China."

"Yeah, domestic is better."

Wu Yu exhaled, feeling very lucky.

She felt that if she lived in a society like Japan, she would definitely contribute a little bit of growth to the local suicide rate.

Ning Yaxian said softly: "That's not the case, they did it on their own."

"ah?"

Wu Yu was at a loss, and Zhou Buqi was also very curious.

Ning Yaxian said: "At that time... more than 20 years ago, women's rights were very popular in Japan. At that time, Japan's economic development speed was the fastest in the world, and women were still the meat and potatoes of major companies. The entire female class, almost all achieved economic independence.”

Zhou Buqi was very surprised, "Really?"

Ning Yaxian said: "How fast Japan developed in the 1980s, there were not enough typical people. No matter who it is, it is impossible to find a job. But with the increase in economic income and changes in the social environment, Japanese women have higher demands, and there are many demands that seem unreasonable today."

"What are there?"

"For example, the concept of love. Japanese women at that time had the notorious phenomenon of 'one dragging four'."

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Buqi opened his eyes wide.

Ning Yaxian said calmly: "That is to say, when a woman goes shopping, she must be accompanied by at least three men. One is in charge of taking a taxi, one is in charge of treating guests to dinner, and the other is in charge of shopping and spending, that is, 'three wallets'. But these three men It's just a wallet, not the real man, and will marry a fourth man in the end."

"Depend on!"

Zhou Buqi was stunned.

And this kind of flirting?

Wu Yu was also stunned, counting with her fingers, and said softly: "Mr. Wen, Sister Linlin, Baoshan, I...husband, are you also procrastinating?"

"Fuck you!" Zhou Buqi almost died of anger, "Can I be like them?"

Wu Yu grinned, "Sister Yaxian, go on, it's very interesting."

Ning Yaxian said: "In that era of luxury and money, Japanese men had to pay an extremely expensive price to pursue a woman. Flowers, romantic hotels, car pick-up and drop-off, high-end restaurants, expensive jewelry... These are the basics of dating. configure."

Zhou Buqi felt a little empathetic, "It's too much!"

Ning Yaxian sighed softly: "Who said it wasn't? That's not enough. The concept of idiots in Japan also became popular at that time. At that time, when women took the bus and subway, if they were slightly touched by men, they would make a fuss." At the scene, the media scrambled to report, and the phenomenon of conquering idiots was all the rage. Later, men didn’t dare to move or even speak when they were in a car, and they would hide away when they saw women. There were even women-only Men are not allowed in the compartment."

Zhou Buqi suddenly said: "No wonder the subway is so crowded now, and everyone is silent. Is this a sequela?"

"Maybe."

"and after?"

"Of course it's going too far. After realizing education fairness, employment fairness, and marriage freedom, they are still not satisfied and want to continue to fight for women's rights. This is not wrong. But they themselves don't know what they can fight for. There is no shortage of money, no shortage of jobs, and you can choose a boyfriend at will. In fact, there are so many basic needs of a person. After thinking about it, I finally found a breakthrough, the freedom of reproduction.”

"pass!"

Zhou Buqi felt as if he had passed away, as if everything was vivid in his memory.

Ning Yaxian said: "At that time, they defined marriage as the oppression of women, and believed that if women did not need to marry and have children, women could gain more valuable freedom. This incident violated the bottom line of a healthy society."

Wu Yu blinked, unable to believe it, "It's too exaggerated, too extreme."

Ning Yaxian went on to say: "At that time, male leaders sent too many emails to female employees, and they would be sued to the court, thinking that he was plotting to do something wrong and it was sexual harassment. So when assigning tasks to female employees, we must be extra careful Just do it."

Zhou Buqi suddenly understood something. Japanese society turned from prosperity to decline not only because of external factors, but also because of internal factors.

The tricks of the United States can at most slow down the Japanese economy.

However, once this kind of deformed feminism is carried forward, it may lead to the death of Japanese society.

It must be strictly curbed.

Zhou Buqi said: "So, when the economic crisis came, major companies had reasons to lay off workers, and women left the workplace and went home to become housewives."

Ning Yaxian nodded slightly, "Yes, that's probably the case. All social problems are about money. Women lose their self-confidence when they lose financial freedom. The most important thing is to survive, and they can only rely on their husbands. The whole The issue of men and women in Japanese society has been reversed. When I was working in Japan, I was going to give chocolates to all my male colleagues on Valentine's Day, which made me very angry."

Wu Yu sighed and said: "So that's the case. I felt sorry for them at first. Hearing what you said, it turns out that poor people must have something to hate."

Ning Yaxian smiled and said: "In fact, South Korea is similar, probably the same way. Women's rights are popular all over the world, and there are signs of this in China. Only Korea and Japan can't penetrate at all. People have already experienced it."

Zhou Buqi was quite emotional, "A lesson learned from the past! Well, no, I am a feminist and a close comrade-in-arms of the majority of women compatriots."

Wu Yu twisted her nose angrily, "Let's have sex intimately!"

Zhou Buqi blushed, "You deserve a beating, don't you?"

"Hee hee, just kidding."

Wu Yu quickly showed a flattering smile and acted like a baby.
