Chapter 244: Create a figure
A week later, Ge Xiaohua received an email from Mr. Masayasu Yamamoto, explaining that his body had recovered and told Ge Xiaohua not to worry. Moreover, he would fulfill his promise and choose an event to come to the Ge Blacksmith Shop to challenge Ge Xiaohua!
"Mr. Yamamoto is really tough. I hope he can truly defeat him in the next meeting!" Ge Xiaohua felt that last time was too "crawling", shortening the forging time, allowing the old man to forge all night, and causing him to go to the hospital. I feel a little sorry for Mr. Yamamoto, but the competition is a competition. Although Ge Xiaohua blamed himself, he didn't think there was anything wrong.
I just felt that I was a bit suspicious of taking advantage of the situation, but I still didn't have a formal showdown with Yuji Yamamoto, so I was a little worried.
"With this experience, I have confidence in Masaya Yamamoto again!" Ge Xiaohua said with great enthusiasm. He has not been idle for the past week. He has summarized the experience and lessons and gained a lot. Moreover, after watching the forging scenes of Mr. Masaya Yamamoto, he has some experiences. Masaya Yamamoto's biggest forging feature is his wholehearted spirit and his tenacious momentum are the key to his success.
In addition to Masayashi Yamamoto's recent situation, two news also revealed in this email. The email should have been written by Yuji Yamamoto. It is in Chinese and probably translated. In English, Yuji Yamamoto must have written it, but it seems more sincere in Chinese. It can be seen that Yuji Yamamoto is still knowledgeable and doesn't speak well in Chinese, but it is still possible to translate it with a computer.
Although there are many mistakes in grammar, you can understand it. Yuji Yamamoto mainly said that many people in the association challenged Ge Xiaohua. Seeing Ge Xiaohua explain that if you have time to accept it, you can let them come to China or Japan. It is all possible. In addition to Masaya Yamamoto, there are two other challengers, both of whom are elites of the Asian Forging Association.
It may be that Ge Xiaohua is too "arrogant" and has been challenging the members of the association continuously, so they will also challenge, one from Pakistan and the other from Indonesia.
He didn't care about challenging Ge Xiaohua. He was originally here to give away points. He could challenge him, so others would definitely be able to do it. He had three chances to refuse, but he didn't plan to refuse. He was worried that there were no points to add, so he could also get two challengers, so he planned to let them come to China so that he would avoid trouble.
This kind of internal competition in the association cares about communication and improving skills, so the smell of gunpowder is not so strong. Unlike general competitive projects, forging is a process of the formation of works of art. As craftsmen, everyone respects the works very much, so there is no such great hostility.
In addition, the email also included an invitation letter for cooperation from "Shuehe".
"Shueisha? It seems a bit familiar." Ge Xiaohua checked online and found that Shueisha was one of the largest publishing houses in Japan.
It has many world-class comic copyrights, such as "Naruto", "Dragon Ball", "One Piece", "Gintama", "Saint Seiya", "Slam Dunk", etc. Each of them is a popular comic.
Ge Xiaohua was so excited when he saw Shueisha invite him, because he had seen many of his comic copyrights, and they were all childhood memories.
"Jiyingshe invited me to jointly create figures? What's the situation? They know they can't create them?" Ge Xiaohua said to himself, and then looked carefully. It turned out that Jiyingshe meant to invite Ge Xiaohua to create a cold weapon, and the main part would be completed by special designers, such as characters, scenes, etc., which would be made of resin materials, and coloring, etc., and all of them would be required to have a complete team.
In order to increase the value and vividness of the figures, Ge Xiaohua, a forging master, was invited to jointly produce them. In addition to increasing the popularity of the figures, it can be sold better, and it is also to increase the price.
"Jiyingshe has played a good hand. I'm invited me to be a weapon maker for figures? Good means!" Ge Xiaohua saw the intention of the boss of Jiyingshe. He simply wanted to use Ge Xiaohua's reputation in China to expand the figure market. After all, there are many rich people in the Chinese market, and there are no fewer otaku tycoons who are willing to pay for their feelings.
"In this regard, I want to talk to Shueisha about the contract." Ge Xiaohua knew that there were many tricks inside. The Asian Forging Association and Shueisha cooperated. Although Ge Xiaohua didn't know, since he could contact him through the Yamamoto family, the communication must be very frequent. Perhaps Japanese forging masters such as Yuji Yamamoto and Yuda Yamamoto also cooperated with Shueisha in figures?
No matter what, Ge Xiaohua thinks this is a better opportunity to cooperate in the Japanese animation industry. With the authorization of Shueisha, Ge Xiaohua can better create authentic figures.
It was limited to some of the figures they gave themselves, Ge Xiaohua was still not satisfied. It would be great if he could obtain copyright after becoming their "weapon master". Of course, copyright is not a waste of money. Ge Xiaohua would not complain about it.
After all, the market for Japanese comics is very large, so there is no doubt that this is true. After all, Japan surpasses China in the comics field too much. Even if the Japanese comics industry has entered a period of depression, it is not the golden age before, and it is still much better than the current Chinese comics.
"It takes a long period of condensation for Chinese comics to surpass Japanese comics, but I believe that Chinese comics will surely rise. At that time, I am willing to be a 'weapon master' for Chinese comics for free!" Ge Xiaohua thought to himself that now he is a weapon master for Japanese comic tycoon Shueisha, he must think twice, and he can't lose money.
"Maybe the competition with Mr. Yamamoto reached the ears of the boss of Shueisha. It was also to expand the Chinese market and planned to invite me to cooperate?" Ge Xiaohua was not sure about the intention of the boss of Shueisha, but this email brought a lot of things to Ge Xiaohua, which was a surprise.
The cooperation with Shuyingshe will not be carried out for the time being. It requires a negotiation stage. Both parties must be clearly stated in terms of obligations, responsibilities, and interests distribution. This is also what Ge Xiaohua has to do when working with Marvel.
"I have to hire another Japanese lawyer. I wonder if Japanese lawyers are more expensive than American lawyers?" Ge Xiaohua smiled bitterly, but the lawyer's fees must be paid, so that there will be no trouble in the future. Once there is a dispute with these big guys, it will be a long-term lawsuit war. The text game should be avoided as much as possible, and the laws and regulations of the local country must be combined with the laws and regulations of the local country. The contract cannot be signed directly on impulse.
