"Don't worry about whether anyone is watching or not, I'm asking if you're interested?" This was the most important thing on Su Xichen's mind.
"Cut, what's the point of basketball? Forget it, I'm going to play badminton." Ma Jun hung up the phone.
"It seems that the national team lost to Brunei, and even the FIBA World Cup qualifying rounds didn't make it out. This matter has truly made the old tiger lose confidence in basketball."
Su Chengxiang encouraged himself, "I believe that 'Slam Dunk' can arouse people's interest in basketball."
To take Su Shichen himself as an example, in his previous life he had no interest in basketball at all before watching "Slam Dunk", okay Su Shichen admits that the height issue is also a major reason.
However, after watching "Slam Dunk", he really had the idea of swinging sweat on the basketball court with a basketball, and later "Slam Dunk" made him a pseudo-basketball fan.
"The most important thing about 'Slam Dunk' is the touching and hot-blooded elements inside, so as long as the storyline isn't changed, it's fine, but other things like the story background must be changed."
"Since it's about igniting the passion of Chinese youth, it naturally sets the entire background in China, making the sense of immersion stronger and reducing the sense of rejection."
Xiangbei, Lingshan, Xiangyang, Hainan, Shangwang and other school names do not need to be changed, but the place names need to be modified. For example, Toma and Makoto are known as "Kanagawa's Twin Walls", this place name can be changed to "Demon Capital's Twin Walls" or something like that.
And these main characters' names are also not suitable, but Su Xuan Chen fell into silence on this point "If the name is changed from Sakuragi Hanadoro to something else, would it still be Sakuragi Hanadoro?"
Su Shilei had been entangled in this matter. If the background were to be moved to Huaxia, the protagonist's name would have to be changed. After all, there was no such surname as Sakura in Huaxia.
But if changed, it seems to destroy the character, and it's hard to advance or retreat.
"No, I think I was wrong. The reason why the character Sakura Haruno is popular isn't because of her name. Even if she were named Yamamoto Haruno or Honda Haruno, she would still be very popular. The reason for her popularity lies in her personality."
"What is the personality of Sakuragi Hanamichi? A loud and carefree person, always shouting that he's a genius, with a big nerve even when very sad can easily change the subject, easy to blush especially in front of Haruko, can't say a few words without blushing, and also has the most important personality as a basketball player - fearless and never give up, it seems like there is no failure in his dictionary, he doesn't know what fear is, that's why Sakuragi Hanamichi is popular."
As long as the character's personality is not modified, even if the name is slightly modified, the characters in "Slam Dunk" are still equally popular.
The final version of Slam Dunk changed the names of the main and supporting characters as follows:
Sakuragi Hanadori —— Flower Arrangement
Ryūkawa Kaede - Ryūkawa Kaede [Note: In the original manga, Ryūkawa Kaede's surname was Ryūkawa and first name was Kaede, but now it is Ryū as surname and Kawakaede as first name. There is a Chinese surname "Liú" which has the same pronunciation as "Ryū".]
Akagi Haruko and Akagi Takeshi —— Akaharu and Aka Takeshi
Note: Although the surname "Chi" is very rare, it also exists among the Han Chinese people and is not listed in the top 2000 surnames of the Hundred Family Surnames. It is said to have originated from the Yi or Manchu ethnic minorities.
Miyauchi Yoshida - Miyauchi [Note: The ancestor of the Miyauchi family was Gong Xiru, a descendant of the later Zhou Dynasty. The Miyauchi family is quite large and has produced many famous people in history. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Qin state Miyauchi family was known as the "family of imperial examination".]
Makino Ichin - Makino Ichin [Note: The only character whose surname and given name remain unchanged, also in the original work]...
It took Su Xichen almost two whole days to modify the names of all the characters in the play, and his main goal was to keep the original names as much as possible while satisfying the Chinese surname.
"Finally finished!" Su Rui Chen stretched his waist, he had been locked at home for two whole days to revise this, it was time to go out and take a walk. Moreover, the most important thing was to find a publishing channel. If "Slam Dunk" were a novel, he wouldn't have worried about the channel, but the key problem was that "Slam Dunk" was a comic book, while he was a well-known writer.
Told Wei Xin's mother and rushed to the office building where Shan Shi Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. is located by bus.
"Hello editor""Good afternoon, editor?"...
One by one, the greetings made Su Zhe's face flush with embarrassment. After all, he was still the editor-in-chief of Shan Se Culture Communication Co., Ltd., but it had been two or three months since he last came to work.
But in just two or three months, Shanxi Cultural Transmission Co., Ltd. has undergone a significant transformation, becoming more high-end and upscale, with a substantial increase in the number of editorial staff.
Seeing this scene, Su Rui Chen was quite happy, after all, he is the largest shareholder, and the stronger the company is, the richer he can say. Wang Ni is indeed a female strongman, now Xian Yi Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. has many authors contributing articles every month, and many second-rate authors and new authors have taken Xian Yi Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. as their best haven.
The reason is that on the distribution channels, Xian Shi Cultural Transmission Co., Ltd. has completely surpassed Dayang Publishing House, the former overlord of Yangcheng.
There's a saying that goes, "Controlling the channel is equivalent to controlling the market," and Wang Ni did just that. By leveraging the momentum from CCTV's promotion of "Hong Huang" last time, she had already established connections with people in the industry. And over the past few months, she has been solidifying her control over the channel, making it incredibly robust.
Of course, in terms of foundation, it is still inferior to DeYun Press. After all, DeYun Press has been dominant in Yang City for over a decade, and it's extremely difficult to surpass it overnight. However, having an even larger sales channel than DeYun Press means that it already has the qualifications to replace DeYun Press.
Pushing open the door and entering Wang Ni's office, Wang Ni looked up to see that it was Su Xichen who had come in, then lowered her head again, saying in a cold tone, "Oh, Xiao Chen, you've finally deigned to show up?"
Although Wang Ni's tone was cold and without any teasing, it still made Su Xichen feel embarrassed and scratch his head. "No, I have new arrangements, so I want to ask if you have any acquaintances in this area."
"Oh? A new book is coming out?" Wang Ni said without lifting her head. "Is it 'The Curse of Luban' or 'Ghost Blows Out the Light'? Tell me the specific release time, I'll arrange resources for promotion."
"Huh, Auntie, how did you know the name of my new book?" Su Xichen asked in surprise.
Wang Ni handed Su Xianchen a newspaper, on which was written the title "New Book Concept of Journey to the West". The report mentioned some concepts about "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "The Curse of Lu Ban", and it wasn't until then that Su Xianchen remembered that he had said something like this during an interview with a reporter.
"It's not about a new book, I recently drew a comic, so I wanted to ask if Auntie has any acquaintances in the field of publishing comics?"
"Comics?" Wang Ni raised her head and stared at Su Xichen "Xiao Chen are you planning to enter the comic world?"
"Uh-huh, I'm planning to draw a comic about basketball." Su Xichen nodded.
" Basketball?" Wang Ni's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. "Although I don't care about basketball, I also know that the domestic team lost to Brunei. Basketball is indeed popular but it's absolutely a taboo topic. Xiaochen, you can draw comics, I won't object, but can you change the subject?
Wang Ni did not object to Su Shicun's sudden decision to draw comics, mainly because Su Shicun was a newcomer as a screenwriter just like he was as an author, and "Huang Yu Xi You" had created miracles.
"It's this theme, and it's because the national team lost to Brunei that I'm preparing to draw this comic." Su Xichen said resolutely.
"Uh-huh," Wang Ni responded with a nasal tone, "Uh-huh... Okay, Auntie will get it ready right away."
"Ah, Auntie agreed!" Su Xichen was overjoyed.
"Aunt doesn't agree so you won't draw anymore?" Wang Ni asked back.
"Uh..." Su Xichen smiled awkwardly "Thanks, Auntie... the comic is one volume at a time, I'll probably be able to finish drawing the first volume in about a month or two."
"Uh, what's the name of the comic? Aunt will write a promotional plan right away."
"Slam Dunk!"
"Uh-huh, got it." With Wang Ni's support, Su Rui Chen He left the company in a normal manner. He was afraid that Wang would ask him to take on the responsibility of being the editor-in-chief again.
Back home, "It seems I've been quite busy lately. First, I need to prepare for my new book, secondly, I have to serialize 'Orient Express Murder Case' in the magazine 'Peak Report', and now I also have to draw 'Slam Dunk'. Although none of these require me to think creatively, time-wise it's still not enough, so the plan to release a new book will be put on hold for now." Putting aside other things, currently the most important thing is the comic.
"Slam Dunk" Chapter 1 was originally named "Sakuragi-kun", but now it's only "Hanamichi-kun". The first scene is Hanamichi getting rejected after confessing, which means the story starts with his 50th heartbreak. Then a group of friends on the side not only didn't comfort him, but were also extremely happy celebrating...
The first time drawing a comic is still a bit unfamiliar, and the usage of some comic tools is not well understood. In fact, drawing comics is a complex task, which requires considering composition, such as drawing crosses or circles to determine positions, but fortunately, Su Xichen's method is direct copying, so these don't need to be considered.
"Achēn is coming out to eat."
"Here." Put down the triangular ruler and go to the dining hall for dinner.
"Ah Chen, what have you been doing in your room all afternoon? Writing a new book again?"
"No, I'm drawing comics."
"Cartoons? Are you talking about those comic strips? What's so great about drawing them?" Looks like my mom's understanding of cartoons is still stuck on comic strips.
"It's not that kind of comic strip, anyway it's quite complicated." After finishing dinner, they returned to the room and fully immersed themselves in the cartoon industry, gradually becoming more skilled and proficient, with speed increasing day by day.
Generally, those who serialize comics have a studio, of course not all of them do, some also find assistants to complete with the assistance of the assistant, and there is another type that multiple authors jointly complete, just like the "Doraemon" on Earth in the previous life was completed by two authors under one pen name.
Like Su Shi Cheng, who has no assistant and no studio, relying solely on himself, this high degree of difficulty is a challenge.
Manga artists have a very enviable profession, and after completing their work, it can also be adapted into anime. Indeed, famous manga artists can sell one manuscript for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yen, which is equivalent to several hundred thousand or several million RMB.
It's quite normal for a well-known manga artist to earn tens of millions of yen per year, don't think this is an exaggeration. The author of "Dragon Ball", Akira Toriyama, once said that he had trouble traveling, and the local government even built a road all the way to his doorstep in order to keep him from leaving.
It's not because of Toriyama Akira's fame, but because the personal income tax he pays every year is a huge amount of assets.
But this is also a famous cartoonist, before becoming famous, he still needs to work harder to make a living, in fact, every profession is the same.
In line with Wang Ni's personality, she immediately took action to promote and cooperate with the "Peak Newspaper" to promote "Slam Dunk".
It's no wonder that Su Rui Chen, this genius writer, suddenly announced that he wants to draw comics. This news is no less than detonating a barrel of gunpowder and can be called explosive news... (Please search for 5du5, updated faster!)
