Chapter 1058 Chapter 1067, "Slam Dunk" is officially serialized! !
The plum rains never stopped.
In the study of Yamazakurain, Naoki Nagayama is writing the novel "Jurassic Park".
There are several thick reference books on the desk, and the manuscripts are now typed on the computer, which is much faster than using a typewriter in the past and easier to modify.
"It would be great if there was the Internet," Naoki Nagayama was still not satisfied, looking at the simple desktop of his computer and complaining, "Then for things like dragons, we can just search for them directly."
"Dong Dong~"
There was a knock on the study door, and then Akina walked in.
"Naoki-san, it's been an hour. It's time to rest your eyes!"
"."
Ever since Naoki Nagayama felt his eyes a little tired a few days ago, he knew that he might have overused his eyes during this period. If he continued like this, he would become nearsighted like before.
I told Akina that she had to work for an hour and take a fifteen-minute break, and then Akina remembered it well and came to remind me on time.
"Hi~" Naoki Nagayama stood up and walked to Akina's side to protect her. "Akina, you can call me from the first floor, or you can ask Inarou to come over and call me. Aren't you tired of walking up the stairs by yourself?"
"How can I be so weak!" Akina said confidently while holding her big belly, "My mother was still busy in the store when I was born!"
".That's what their generation had to do. Mingcai doesn't have to do that."
"I mean I'm strong!"
"Hi hi~"
Hearing her husband's perfunctory answer, Akina wanted to roll up her sleeves to let him see the muscle knots on her arms.
How should I put it? Although Akina has a delicate image since she grew up, she actually has some muscles.
"Alright, alright, don't do such an undignified thing!" Nagayama Naoki quickly pressed Akina's arm down, "You're going to be a mother soon!"
".Tsk~"
After eating some cut fruit downstairs and sitting on the porch for a while, Akina and Naoki Nagayama talked about some family matters.
"Mom and big sister will come to Tokyo to visit me tomorrow. Will Naoki-san go out tomorrow?"
"Probably not. When will my mother-in-law arrive tomorrow?" Naoki Naoyama asked, "Do I need to pick her up?"
"No need, take the train."
Yamazakurain is actually not far from the station, and it is not difficult to walk there. Naoki Nagayama was just worried that they would carry some heavy things.
"Anyway, I'll pick you up at the station."
After chatting about petting the dog and cat for a while, Naoki Nagayama was about to return to his study to continue writing his novel when he saw Mrs. Nonaka Mari, who had just returned from shopping, taking something out of the mailbox at the door and bringing it in.
"Naoki-san, Akina-chan," Nonaka Mari was a little surprised, "You guys also ordered a manga?"
"Ah, comics," Naoki Nagayama realized, "It's Weekly Shonen Sunday, right?"
"Hi~"
"That's right!"
Naoki Nagayama stood up, took the latest issue of the comic magazine, held it next to Akina and said:
"It's a work by Shuyou's comics studio, and it should start serialization today!"
"Slam Dunk?"
Akina came over curiously. She knew that her husband's company was working on a comic recently, but since it was not a girls' comic, she didn't care much.
"Um"
Naoki Nagayama opened the cover and saw, as expected, Sakuragi Hanamichi was on the cover wearing a bright red basketball uniform with a painted uniform. His bright red hair made him look more like a delinquent than a basketball player.
“It’s actually a cover promotion!”
"yes."
Naoki Nagayama did not follow up on the publication. These should have been communicated between Shuichi Ido and Shogakukan. However, it seems that the editorial department is also very optimistic about this comic and gave it a promotional position on the cover.
Naoki Nagayama opened the magazine and went straight to the page where "Slam Dunk" was serialized, and started reading it with Akina.
Although I have seen it before, the original drawings and the comics published in the magazine always have a different feeling. The first issue actually serialized two chapters directly? Is this a privilege? !
"Naoki-san, why does this feel like a comedy?"
Akina laughed when she saw Sakuragi Hanamichi appear.
"It's just like Tatsuro Hoshino in 101 Marriage Proposals. It's a pity that he was only rejected times."
"Haha, this is called being rejected. Maybe in the future this will become a popular character for the protagonist!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and said, there are also the broken engagement flow, the waste flow, the mortal flow and so on and so forth, just wait and see, I, Naoki Nagayama, will bring them all out in the future!
"But that shouldn't be the case. Sakuragi Hanamichi is tall, looks good, has personality, and is a bad student. He should be popular with girls on campus."
Akina didn't quite understand. According to the criteria for junior high and high school admissions, being tall enough was actually a hard requirement.
"Maybe you want to find an excellent girl?"
The two of them started discussing this topic, and before they knew it, they had finished reading the newly published "Slam Dunk".
“It’s really being serialized in a comic book!”
Toei's general manager Takafumi Ogasawara was very surprised when he received the "Weekly Shonen Sunday" that his assistant had just handed over to him.
Because the producer of "Slam Dunk" clearly states the name "Shuyou Comics Studio"
"Yes. It's really serialized!" Assistant Director Nakano Toru replied respectfully, "Because I have been paying attention to the developments of the Shuyou Group, their top management knew a few days ago that their comics studio was going to produce results."
"Why is Naoki Nagayama making all this mess instead of just making a movie? This isn't a hot-blooded battle show like "Hot-Blooded School"."
Ogasawara Takafumi casually flipped through the comic magazine and glanced at "Slam Dunk". At his age and level, he has no interest in comics at all. It's childish stuff and not worth paying attention to at all!
Basketball is not a very famous sport.
Even if you want to adapt it into an animation, you can directly negotiate the copyright with Shogakukan and Shueisha. Toei's animation business line does this, and you can also directly get the popular comics.
If the Shuyou Group hadn't suddenly entered the animation industry, he wouldn't even read Weekly Shonen Sunday.
"Perhaps Naoki Nagayama is just in a momentary mood?" said assistant Toru Nakano.
"No, no, no, don't underestimate Naoki Nagayama!" Ogasawara Takafumi shook his head. "When he first proposed the film festival last year, I thought he just wanted to hold a small event for movie fans, but he turned it into the Tokyo International Film Festival."
"This time, he must have an ambition!"
"Then should we continue to pay attention?" asked Toru Nakano.
"No," Ogasawara Takafumi pondered for a moment, "We need to strengthen the talent pool of the animation business line, and also get involved in the comics sector. Let's take it first. Anyway, it's just a little money. Let's see what Naoki Nagayama will do next!"
".Hi!"
When Shuyou first started to announce its plan to enter the animation industry, everyone thought it was just talk. It was not until they officially started recruiting animation talents that everyone knew they were serious.
And when everyone thought it would take at least some time to prepare, the comics studio of Shuyou Group had already started serializing the first comic!
Such a speed surprised the film production companies that had been following the routine. It seemed as if they were seeing the scene of Shuyou’s sudden rise a few years ago!
However, this time, many film companies began to learn from this. In addition to Toei and Toho, which already had animation business lines, other companies also began to invest in animation studios to a greater or lesser extent.
Just like with the stock market boom, many companies have started to set up stock investment departments. This makes comics workers, who were originally unpopular, suddenly feel the feeling of being fought over.
"Weekly Shonen Sunday" is not published on weekends as its name suggests, but is published on Wednesdays.
So the real audience actually sees the latest issue of the magazine after school in the afternoon.
Ando Juto from junior high school was one of them. He finally waited until the school was over, and the first thing he did when he walked out of the school gate was to run to the comic book store.
"The latest episode of Dragon Ball should be out by now! I wonder who Goku will fight this time!"
Muttering this, Juto Ando quickly arrived at the comic book shop near the school. He then exchanged a glance with the store manager, and from the exchange of glances, he knew the location of the latest magazines without saying a word.
This is the tacit understanding between comic fans and comic store owners!
But after getting the magazine, Ando Juto looked at the cover and was a little surprised:
"How come there is another new comic that takes up such a large space, SLAM DUNK?"
After flipping through the pages and looking at the impressive paintings, Ando Juto inexplicably felt dissatisfied:
"I want to see what kind of comic book has such a big fuss!"
Just when Ando Juto wanted to continue watching, the shop owner came over and looked at him with calm eyes. Want to get it for free without paying?!
"."
Ando Juto understood instantly, a trace of sadness rose in his heart, and he looked at the store manager with accusatory eyes. Is the tacit understanding between us so worthless? ! Am I the kind of person who reads comics for free without paying? !
But the store manager's eyes remained calm, not moved at all. Yes! You are that kind of person!
With his hands clenched, Ando Juto, who was looked down upon, wanted to refute, but he had to yield under the pressure of the store manager's eyes, and tremblingly took out this week's pocket money from his pocket.
"for you!"
After closing his eyes and handing the money to the store manager, Ando Juto turned his head and wanted to leave the comic book store!
He finally understood that this store was just a place to make money, and the store manager was just a cold-blooded businessman, not at all the passionate and romantic like in the comics!
Was it a wrong payment?
However, his body was stopped as he was about to leave. The store manager put his strong arm on his shoulders, as if he had a thousand secrets to tell him.
Ando Juto turned around and met the store manager's eyes, which seemed to have a different emotion from before.
"Manager Sang?"
Is he going to apologize? Then I'll just accept it reluctantly! This is what Ando Juto thought in his heart~
The store manager opened his palm, which contained a banknote and several coins.
“Not enough money!”
"."
After a long time, Ando Juto finally found enough change from the corners of his schoolbag and walked out of the store with "Weekly Shonen Sunday".
He kept complaining about the store manager being unkind and not even giving discounts to old customers.
Then he opened the comic as he walked:
"I want to see if this SLAM DUNK is worth it!"
So Ando Juto started to read it on the way, and the corners of his mouth curled up without him noticing, and then he sat on a chair in the park without realizing it.
"Ooh? Basketball looks like fun!"
"Why don't you try joining a basketball club? SLAM DUNK, I think I can do it, right?!"
At the same time, in various comic shops in Japan, more and more comic fans have seen the latest edition of "Weekly Shonen Sunday". Everyone is very curious about the new serialized "Slam Dunk" and has started discussing it with friends who share the same interest.
More and more people have learned about the serialization of the comic "Slam Dunk", and most people have given positive reviews to this comic that combines passion, humor, youth and sports.
In Japan, basketball is not the most popular sport. It is far less popular than baseball, football, sumo and other sports. Even more people like to watch boxing than basketball.
"Basketball looks interesting~" "So you play basketball just to chase girls? It turns out that aversion is the primary productive force!" "I want to see Sakuragi Hanamichi Iritaru!" "."
The fame of "Slam Dunk" spread among the people.
"As for the next chapter, you won't be able to see it until next week." "Call the publisher and ask the artist to draw more!"
The filming location in Ota City.
The filming of "Tale of Ginza" is almost halfway done. In this era, Japan's film industry is much more advanced than that of Hong Kong. Apart from other things, just the size of the filming base is such a huge plot that you can't find such a large piece of land even if you search all over Hong Kong.
"The filming went smoothly~" Komori Masataka chatted with Kimura Kyon during the break, "It looks like the filming will be finished by the end of the month, right?"
"Hi," Kimura nodded. Commercial films in this era are designed to be fast. "We can start editing in July."
“It’s really fast!”
Masataka Komori recalled that at the beginning, he had to borrow a car from his boss for a luxury car.
"How was the lead role? Was the performance good?"
"Leslie's role as the male protagonist is very layered. He switches between different roles with ease."
Speaking of Leslie Cheung, Kyō Kimura was full of satisfaction, which also shows his accurate vision!
"I can't wait to see the movie come out!"
"Well, we just did some publicity during the production." Komori Masataka said, "The second phase of publicity is about to begin, Kimura, what kind of scenes do you want the reporters to shoot when they visit the set?"
"Hmm," Kimura's eyes lit up, "Just that scene, having sex on a bed made of US dollars."
".Uh. The sex scene."
Masataka Komori was stunned for a moment. Although he also wanted to see that scene, in order to respect the actors, only a few necessary staff would be left in the room when filming the bed scene!
"I don't think Nao Saejima and Leslie Cheung would agree to be photographed by reporters."
"We're not reporting on the sex scene! Of course we can't reveal it!" said Kyon. "We're filming a bed covered with US dollars!"
"Has Masataka-kun never thought about lying on a bed made of money?"
"." Komori Masataka turned his head and looked to the side, "I don't have it!"
"I dare not think it, but I dare not say it!"
"Just no! I'm not that vulgar!"
Kimura didn't want to continue exposing his friend, so he returned to the previous topic.
"The reason why the reporter filmed this scene is to highlight how extravagant the protagonist of the movie is after making money."
"Use this as a gimmick?" Komori Masataka nodded, "If we come to interview you during the cruise party..."
"We already have the materials, so just provide some!"
Mudao Xu said,
"Anyway, we have to let the media know that we are shooting a movie about decadence and extravagance!"
Komori Masataka agreed, "Yeah, that's right!"
Then I heard Kimura continue:
"By the way, we should ask Naoki-san to come back and take a look during this period. See if the extravagant scene we have arranged is in line with the real situation."
"Naoki-san?"
"Yes, Naoki-san is the richest person we know! If he can't see the flaw, there shouldn't be any problem!"
".That makes a lot of sense."
