Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 263 North American Propaganda
In the mid-1970s, the neon economy developed rapidly under the promotion of the policy of "building the country through trade".

Economic prosperity and rapid population growth have prompted changes in the ideological system and values ​​of Neon people.

In 1974, the cartoon "Space Battleship Yamato" was sought after by young people mainly high school students and college students, forming a wave of "new human beings".

Sci-fi animation represented by "Space Battleship Yamato", "Galaxy Railway 999", and "Mobile Suit Gundam" became the mainstream in the 70s and early 80s.

This is the period when sci-fi animation is popular.

At this time, the safest way is to follow the trend and let Tomohisa Uemura draw some influential sci-fi animations.

However, Lin Daoqiu didn't plan to follow this trend. After all, as a person who traveled through time, how could he make sci-fi cartoons with those people.

The next day, Lin Daoqiu gathered Tomohisa Uemura and his four friends together.

These people are all little-known cartoonists. If Uemura Tomohisa hadn't met Lin Daoqiu, I'm afraid they would have been poor forever.

"The monthly salary is 30 (yen), and when the work is serialized, the person in charge of the manga can get [-]% of the income."

Speaking of which, the monthly salary given by Lin Daoqiu is not very high, but for Uemura Tomohisa and others, this is already considered a very good income.

Not only can they continue to create their favorite comics, but also have a stable income, which makes Tomohisa Uemura and others very satisfied.

At that time, if the comics can be taken by the publishers, they can still get part of the royalties when they are serialized.

Although most of the money was taken away by Lin Daoqiu, even so they already felt very satisfied.

"In addition, I plan to establish an animation production company to be responsible for the production and distribution of animation and manga."

Since Lin Daoqiu is going to do it, he doesn't plan to make small troubles. Apart from people like Uemura Tomohisa, he also hopes to attract excellent cartoonists to join in the future.

But now the company only has him and five other little-known cartoonists.

"Mr. Lin, I don't know what name you plan to name this company?"

Tomohisa Uemura looked very excited. Yesterday he was still a person who didn't finish his meal after eating his last meal, and he had no future at all.

But now he feels that the future is so bright that he can't wait to pick up a paintbrush and work.

"I'm going to call the company MAG."

Hearing this word, Uemura Tomohisa and the others were at a loss, because they simply did not understand why Lin Daoqiu chose this word as the company name.

"Manga (manga), Anime (animation), and Game (game) add together the first letters of the three words to form our company's name."

After Lin Daoqiu explained it like this, Uemura Tomohisa and others immediately understood.

They all thought that Lin Daoqiu's name was very good, and it expressed the characteristics of their company in a concise and concise manner.

"For your first work, I will write the script as soon as possible. When the time comes, in terms of character design and comic style, you must follow what I said."

If so much effort is spent just to let them create works according to their own ideas, they don't know how much money they will burn.

Before coming here, Tomohisa Uemura and the others had a brief discussion. Since Lin Daoqiu was willing to pay them to participate in the creation, they had nothing to complain about.

After all, having a stable job is the most important thing for them.

And Lin Daoqiu had already decided on the first manga to be produced by MAG as early as yesterday.

A few days later, Uemura Tomohisa and others got the script of Lin Daoqiu's first comic.

""One Piece" seems to be a cartoon about pirates, will this genre be popular?"

Tomohisa Uemura and others still don't understand what this manga means, so it's normal for them to have such questions now.

As the most popular national comic after "Dragon Ball", "One Piece" sold more than 4.5 million copies in Lin Daoqiu's era.

Such an achievement can be said to be unprecedented, and no one will break it for a long time.

Lin Daoqiu's only worry is that Tomohisa Uemura and others cannot draw the essence of the original work.

But this is also something that can't be helped, and now they can only temporarily let them draw according to their own ideas.

Fortunately, the plot has already been written by themselves, which is enough for them to spend a while, but Lin Daoqiu has no way of guaranteeing whether it will be as popular as later generations.

But Lin Daoqiu is not in a hurry to get results right away, and most of his energy is still focused on movies.

The box office of "Mission Impossible" has been rising steadily, and by the seventh day, it has exceeded the 15 billion mark.

Isao Matsuoka feels that this movie can definitely win the box office champion of this year's Neon live-action movie.

It's a pity that Lin Daoqiu couldn't get Lin Daoqiu to ask for Junko's affairs. The other party just asked him to arrange for Junko to study in Dongbao Arts and Energy School.

Even if he failed to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu in a blockbuster immediately, Matsuoka Isao believes that as long as Junko is here, Lin Daoqiu will definitely come back.

In order to tie up Lin Daoqiu, the cash cow, the advertisement made people pay more attention to Junko's daily life.

And after Lin Daoqiu left, Isao Matsuoka prepared a 15-year long contract for Junko.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't know these things, because he had already boarded the plane to Hollywood.

Because in a few days, "Mission Impossible" will be ready for release in North America.

When Lin Daoqiu and Lin Qingxia arrived at the airport, the people sent by Warner had been waiting for them here for a long time.

"Welcome Mr. Lin and the most beautiful Miss Lin."

Lin Daoqiu did not expect that it was Kars who came to pick him up.

"This time I made a special trip to fly over from Xiangjiang, just to let the senior management know how sensational this drama is in Asia."

The Asian region that Carls is in charge of has not had much influence in Hollywood in recent years.

Since Bruce Lee passed away, there has been little news about Xiangjiang movies in Hollywood.

This time Kars flew back from Xiangjiang on a special trip, just to help make the drama "Mission Impossible" run successfully.

But this is not because of how good his friendship with Lin Daoqiu is, but because Kars wants Warner's executives to see the potential of Asian movies.

In fact, in the final analysis, Kars is also working hard for himself.

"It would be great if the top management of Warner could do what you think."

Lin Daoqiu is much calmer than Kars, because Warner's executives should not have much interest in this movie before it is released.

After all, this is a movie that is mainly Chinese and also has women as the protagonists. When these two factors are combined, it is no wonder that those old guys with higher eyesight can watch it well.
