Ge Xiaohua's cooperation with Shueisha was probably facilitated by the Asian Forging Association. Some details had to be asked by Yuji Yamamoto. He had Yuji Yamamoto's social account and contacted him online and established contact through voice.

"Yamamoto-kun, Shueisha really wants to cooperate with me? Aren't there more members in the Asian Forging Association who are ranked higher than me?" Ge Xiaohua's current ranking is only around 20. Because he is tied with Yamamoto Masayasu, his points have not changed, but

Compared with the Yamamoto brothers, the ranking is still a bit behind, although Ge Xiaohua beat the two brothers.

"Shueisha has designated to cooperate with you because there is a customer who plans to let you participate in the design and creation of One Piece figures."

"A customer from China?"

"right!"

"Create a figure of what character from One Piece?"

"It seems to be Whitebeard..."

Ge Xiaohua communicated with Yuji Yamamoto on social software and learned about Shueisha’s meaning and the type of figure he created. It turned out to be Edward Newgate from One Piece, one of the four emperors nicknamed Whitebeard.

Although Whitebeard died in the battle at the top, his spirit and strongest title are still loved by fans.

Therefore, the derived figures are also rich and diverse. It is not surprising that someone specially customized the figures of Whitebeard, but it is strange that the ostentation is so grand. It is also planned that Ge Xiaohua will participate?

"China's richest people? They should be from the younger generation. They are probably worth a lot. Otherwise, why would the British society pay so much attention to them?" Ge Xiaohua thought secretly. Now that he knows that it is customized by a large Chinese customer, if Ge Xiaohua participates, the customer may be more interested.

Satisfied, Shueisha is asking for help from him. Therefore, knowing this, Ge Xiaohua will take the initiative and try his best to obtain the maximum benefits when discussing cooperation.

Japanese Shueisha guest room.

Ge Xiaohua came to Shueisha with a Chinese lawyer who was a lawyer in Japan. A lawyer who was proficient in Chinese could work better for Ge Xiaohua, translating and reviewing contracts, and the price was one, instead of two.

Horiuchi Marue is the president of Shueisha, a Japanese man in his forties. As one of the largest publishing houses in Japan, he owns numerous high-quality comic copyrights. Shueisha’s status in Japan can be imagined, and Horiuchi Marue

Hui's personal interview with Ge Xiaohua shows that he attaches great importance to him.

"Hello, Mr. Horiuchi Marue." Ge Xiaohua said in Chinese, and the lawyer standing next to him translated simultaneously. As the lawyer invited to accompany him, he also acted as a translator, and the price was very reasonable. Ge Xiaohua felt that it was very useful to bring a lawyer.

Necessary.

Ge Xiaohua and Horiuchi Marue exchanged pleasantries, drank some tea, and got down to business.

"Ge-kun, according to our Shueisha regulations, designers can only get a certain commission every year, and then take about 10% of the cost of designing the figures."

Ge Xiaohua is actually not interested in these remunerations. What he wants is authorization. With Shueisha's authorization, Ge Xiaohua can openly create extended figure works of "One Piece", "Naruto" and "Saint Seiya", so even if this time

The cooperation to jointly create figures was unsuccessful, so he also wanted to buy a license.

"Mr. Horiuchi Marue, forgive me for not agreeing. The conditions you proposed cannot meet my psychological requirements, and I don't have time to go to Japan to communicate with the designers in your agency. Language is one aspect, and there is also aesthetics, so

…”

"Ge-kun, the terms are negotiable, I can increase the commission!" Horiuchi Marue didn't want to lose the opportunity to cooperate with Ge Xiaohua, because the Chinese customers who came to customize the figures were very powerful and he couldn't offend them, and the price was very generous.

"I think Mr. Yamamoto Yuji is very suitable for this kind of cooperation with Shueisha." Ge Xiaohua recommended Yamamoto Yuji. In fact, Shueisha was also considering Yamamoto Yuji, but a big client came to Ge Xiaohua, so he felt that if there was a Chinese design

Teacher, then it will be easier to open up the Chinese market.

Ge Xiaohua just wants to authorize and then make his own figures. He is not worried about the market. He just doesn't want to be controlled by Shueisha. Once he becomes an employee of Shueisha, there will be a lot of trouble. This is different from Marvel because becoming a figure of Shueisha

The designer can't bring him fame. After all, those comics have already been released. If they are just figures, there is no need to cooperate with Shueisha, but licensing is the purpose of this trip.

"Mr. Horiuchi Marue, don't be disappointed. There are many designers like me in the Asian forging society. You can find a replacement. Even so, I think there are still opportunities for cooperation between us."

"What kind of cooperation?" Horiuchi Marue seemed to be very interested. He knew that Ge Xiaohua was not only famous in China, but also seemed to be quite successful in the United States. This kind of forging master, although he seemed to have no connection with Shueisha Publishing House, had become known through his figurines.

Got in touch again.

"I plan to purchase the rights to produce extended figures of your three anime series "Naruto", "Saint Seiya" and "One Piece"."

"Ge Jun is really discerning. This walking animation is well-known in the world, so natural..."

"I know, the price must be high, but it's just the authorization to make figures..." Ge Xiaohua didn't know the price, but he didn't want to be cheated. After some bargaining, Ge Xiaohua got the production of three animation figures.

Authorization, and the price is still very expensive, but for Ge Xiaohua, the money will be earned back sooner or later.

The license for three animations in three years alone costs 3 million Soft Girl Coins. It does nothing but write a piece of paper, stamp it, and sign it. It costs 3 million, and it is limited to three years...

Ge Xiaohua had to lament that once animation, movies, and novels become famous, as the fame increases, the extended copyright value is beyond imagination.

"I originally paid 10 million for the armor, but I got it down to 3 million, which is reasonable. With the authorization of these three figures, as long as I find one order, I can earn back the 3 million! It's a pity that I can't get it permanently.

Permissions."

This is normal. Permanent permission requires a higher price, and it is not cost-effective. It is better to get it for three years first, and because it has the attributes of anime figures, the price will be several times higher than simply buying cold weapons, and

It's easy to be sold.

Ge Xiaohua completed the authorization in Japan and obtained the three-year permission to produce figures of "Naruto", "Saints", and "One Piece". Therefore, the figures he produced were all genuine and he would not be held responsible for selling them.

, and buyers and sellers will feel more at ease. It only cost three million in copyright fees. Ge Xiaohua feels that Horiuchi Marue still takes the face of the Asian Forging Association into consideration, otherwise he probably wouldn’t be able to get it even if it’s tens of millions.

"Whitebeard figurine, he seems to be holding a Guandao in his hand. The blade of the knife is not so wide, but it still borrows the meaning of Guandao. No wonder the Chinese customer asked me to make Whitebeard's knife. In this regard
