Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?.

The Chinese translation of Chapter 618 is provided by the original author!
With the help of his understanding of this body, Oda Nobuo realized that the Japanese attitude towards China was one of love and jealousy.

They envy China's booming development in recent years, even to the point of admiration, but naturally they make a common human mistake: I feel uncomfortable when my neighbors are rich, and even more uncomfortable when they are poorer than me!
Based on Oda Shingo's physical memory, I feel that Japanese society's current emotions towards China are very complicated.

The Japanese have a habit of envying the strong and are willing to learn from them. After the war, they were frightened and many aspects of their lives became Westernized.

However, China was a big fat sheep before the Japanese bubble economy burst. It can be said that the most beautiful halo of Japan's bubble economy must have been contributed by China's purchasing power. The dumping of home appliances such as video recorders and televisions in the 1980s allowed Japan to grab huge profits from this big country in the west.

In recent years, the rise of China has made Japan feel uncomfortable, and even many people in society have formed a bad impression of it. Some people have been misled by the media's deliberate smearing reports, and even developed some resistance sentiment.

But companies like comics companies don't care. As long as they can make money, everything is fine.

Springfield Books was very happy to accept the inquiry and was very enthusiastic.

Ms. Sadako Haruta, the head of Springfield Bookstore, even called Oda Shingo for his opinion.

"I personally strongly agree with the copyright negotiations with Huaxia Publishing House. In addition, I have an idea and would like to communicate it with you, President." Oda Shingo made an offer.

Sadako Haruta immediately took Saburo Mikami and the head of the marketing department and drove to Shingo Oda's studio.

The weather has turned warmer. On the balcony on the second floor of the studio, the four of them drank afternoon tea and began to discuss the Chinese market.

Oda Nobuo's female assistants knew the importance of the matter and did not eavesdrop at all. They just did their own work very properly.

On the other hand, Namikaze Youhe was like a housewife, actively entertaining the guests. However, she didn't like to talk, so she just quietly served tea and snacks and then left.

The summer breeze makes people's heads slightly hot, but fortunately the fragrance of tea brings a hint of coolness and calmness.

"Did you notice? We all drink Chinese tea." San Shang Saburo smiled bitterly with a little emotion, "My personal opinion is that the rise of China is not something we can consider. Whether anyone in society minds is not something we should consider too much."

Oda Shingo nodded in agreement with his point of view, and thought to himself that the rise of China was simply unstoppable and an inevitable trend.

In fact, I am not thinking too much about the relationship between the two countries now, but about the comics.

As long as the comics do not involve politics and do not violate the law and moral bottom line, Oda Shingo very much hopes that the two countries can communicate.

Although China has its own characteristics in many aspects of comics, the industrialization and commercialization of Japanese comics were half a century earlier. Chinese comics have been stumbling, and have only started to pick up in recent years, but they were soon hit hard by short videos.

No matter what country you are from, you should do your best to contribute to the Chinese comics industry.

In fact, before coming here, Haruta Sadako already had her own ideas.

After seeing that he was not opposed to contact with China and even had a tendency to bring them together, the head of Springfield Bookstore became more vocal with his own ideas.

"Then we have basically reached an agreement, and the negotiations with the major trading companies in China will proceed as normal. Next, what we need is..."

Saburo Mikami plans to take a bigger step: "I think the Chinese comics market should not only not be excluded, but should be actively developed."

The director of the marketing department shook his head and said, "Exploration? No, no, the comics industry is not very promising, but the gaming industry is very worth speculating on. I still remember Nintendo's disastrous failure in expanding its market in China, and Sony is only struggling to maintain its bleak status."

Haruta Sadako looked at Oda Shingo.

"The Chinese comics market has its own rules. It's actually very difficult for us to explore the market from a development perspective. All we can say is that business is business, but don't treat it as America, where gold is everywhere. There are good wines and shotguns there." Oda Shingo subconsciously threatened Xiao Ri from the perspective of a Chinese, then sighed, "But from a personal perspective, I am willing to do something to gain favor in the Chinese market."

"Oh?" Haruta Sadako was curious.

"I will not keep my personal copyright fees in the Chinese market. After deducting relevant taxes and operating expenses, you can directly set up a comic support fund for me in China, such as the Painting King Fund..."

Oda Shingo talked about the plan.

Although it's not as good as the Nobel Prize, the copyright fee could easily be over a million or tens of millions, and it would be nice to provide a little support to Chinese cartoonists.

As an insider in the industry in his previous life, Oda Shingo deeply understands how hard it is to draw comics in China.

As for the "Hua Wang Fund", it also originated from his nostalgic feelings for Chinese comics in his previous life. At that time, due to some reasons, "Hua Shu Da Wang" was discontinued, and the market trend changed suddenly, causing Hua Xia to miss the golden age of comics in the 90s, which had a very serious impact on the development of the Chinese comics industry.

If one fails to keep up with one step, all steps will fail to keep up. The comics industry lacks the initial accumulation stage. Now China's comics industry is like a castle in the air, full of holes and crises.

The reason why Hua Xia contacted the genuine publishers so late this time is, on the one hand, that there are finally signs that the policy has been relaxed, and on the other hand, that the genuine publishers still lack confidence in the Hua Xia market.

Haruta Sadako and others naturally didn't know how nostalgic and sentimental Oda Shingo was, but they were very happy about Oda Shingo's attitude towards the Chinese market.

He expressed his opinions clearly and concisely, and anyone could see that he was quite friendly towards China.

Sadako Haruta quickly finalized the operation strategy for the Chinese market, which was not to expand but to engage in business cooperation. However, she maintained a friendly, cooperative, supportive and helpful attitude towards the Chinese comics artists.

Things are moving very quickly.

When the new issue of "Champion" was published, big news broke in the Chinese comics industry.

"Several works of Shingo Oda will be introduced to China in the near future! "Slam Dunk", "Naruto", "Cells at Work!" and "The Burial of Frielian" are expected to be officially released!"

[Oda Shingo, a popular manga artist in the Japanese comics industry, said that he plans to establish the "Painter King Fund" in China to support the development of Chinese comics enthusiasts.]
Chinese comics fans immediately cheered.

Oda Shingo's works are very popular in Japan and he also has a huge number of fans in China.

“66666, can I see the authentic comics of Oda-sama?!”

"Finally I don't have to read the pirated comics of the Great Devil!"

Some Chinese comic fans do feel regretful.

"Is it impossible to import GANTZ? Goblin Slayer is definitely even more impossible."

"Abridged version? No no, I can't accept it just thinking about it!"

"Our comics market should have been graded long ago!"

"The film and TV drama market doesn't have a rating system, so how can we expect the comics market to have a rating system?"

“But the gaming industry has ratings.”

"Look at the current state of the gaming industry. The game license approval system is a bottleneck. What's the point of rating?"

All major animation forums in China were filled with related discussions in a short period of time.

But some fans are also worried: "Wait, what will the quality of the Chinese translation be? I can't stand the ridiculous official translations of some works!"

However, a Chinese translation group also emerged and said they could provide free services.

"The Sakura Chinese translation team is eager to support the official comics translation work!"

"The Snow Piao Chinese Translation Room can provide free Chinese translation services, including drafting and proofreading!"

This is true love! Countless comic fans gave it a thumbs up.

It is said that brothers who have worked in the free Chinese translation group will have big birds in their next life.

Soon, an official Weibo account released surprising news.

[Shocked! According to internal information, the content of the genuine work sent by Springfield Books for discussion is a manga that has already been translated! ]

[Rumor has it that the simplified Chinese version of the comics was translated and provided directly by Mr. Oda Shingo! ]
