Recently, Chen Ze had been in a good mood. The first book had been released, and the sales had exceeded his expectations. In addition, Wang Tian had been defeated.
Thinking about how the reporters had asked Wang Tian what he thought of the sales, he congratulated himself with a livid face. Just thinking about it made him laugh.
Not only were the sales of the standalone version good, but the production of the animation was also quite smooth. Almost all of it had been completed. Li Yun Tian had even personally approached the director of Province G's television station for his animation. The director had promised to broadcast the animation at 6 PM in the afternoon.
He could imagine that once the animation was broadcast, the influence of his " Slam Dunk " would reach an unprecedented height. It would not be difficult to replicate the basketball craze in his previous life.
Today, Lin Lan called Chen Ze and asked him to go to the magazine agency. She said that a toy company wanted to cooperate with her. A toy company? Why would he want to cooperate with him?
What Chen Ze didn't know was that China in this world was just like Japan in his previous life. The comics industry had become extremely commercial. Many toy manufacturers used comics as a way to promote their new toys.
One had to know that children were the main force in comics. If their favorite characters in comics were playing with toys, they would definitely ask their parents for them. This was a considerable business opportunity.
Therefore, many toy manufacturers who discovered this pattern would invest in cartoonists. Many would even pay cartoonists to draw comics for their toys.
This was also the reason why he had sought out Chen Ze's comic company.
"Chief Editor Lin."
Chen Ze walked in and greeted Lin Lan. Although he was already very familiar with Lin Lan, he still addressed her respectfully in front of everyone.
"Chen Ze, you're here. Let me introduce you.”
Lin Lan immediately stood up and said to Chen Ze when she saw him enter. Beside her, two middle-aged men also stood up.
"This is the marketing director of Bandai Games, Ou Cheng. Next to him is his secretary.”Lin Lan introduced.
Bandai Games?
Chen Ze was shocked by the name of the company. It was the largest gaming company in Province G with an annual income of billions. But why were they looking for him? He had no interaction with them at all, right?
"Hello!" Ou Cheng nodded at Chen Ze.
"Ah!" Chen Ze also nodded and said,"Hello, President Ou."
"Master Chen is really a young hero. I heard that the sales of your single book, Slam Dunk, broke 600,000 on the first day. It's only a matter of time before you become an A-list mangaka.”Ou Cheng smiled and said.
"President Ou, you flatter me."
Chen Ze realized that businessmen always had nice words. When he first met Li Yun Tian, he was also flattering him. This time, Ou Cheng was even more like this. His words made Chen Ze feel quite comfortable.
"Chen Ze, President Ou is here to work with you. To be specific, they want you to use comics to help promote their new product.”Lin Lan explained Ou Cheng's intentions clearly.
" Promotion of products?" Chen Ze was stunned. What kind of product promotion could a game company ask him to do? Could it be a game?
Ou Cheng saw Chen Ze's confusion and smiled.""This product can be said to be a game, but it can also be said to be a toy. Master Chen, you'll know once you take a look.”
As he spoke, his secretary took out the product that he wanted Chen Ze to promote from his briefcase and handed it to Chen Ze.
Chen Ze carefully observed the toy. It looked similar to a mobile phone. It had a thin and large screen that was very exquisite. There was also a button below it.
Ou Cheng's secretary walked over and turned on the screen. The screen lit up, and a very cute cartoon cub immediately jumped out, sleeping soundly. Next to it, there were also options for eating, walking, sleeping, fighting, and so on.
Looking at this, Chen Ze felt a sense of familiarity. He seemed to have played this game somewhere before.
Chen Ze thought for a moment, and an idea suddenly came to his mind."It's this!"
Perhaps the technology of this era was much more advanced than when he played with the toy back then. Therefore, whether it was the appearance, the image, or the cub, this toy looked very similar to a mirror. Chen Ze did not react immediately.
It was only just now that he remembered.
He had a deep impression of this toy when he was young. Back then, he had made a fuss and asked his parents to buy it for him. Later on, his father couldn't stand his pestering, so he made an agreement with him that he would buy him a certificate when he got the final exam.
In the end, Chen Ze received a " Three Merits Student " certificate and exchanged it for this toy.
"Digital Tyrannosaurus?" Chen Ze blurted out.
"Eh? Master Chen Ze, you know about this toy?”
Ou Cheng asked. He was very surprised. This battle toy was their company's main toy this year, so it was top secret. Up until now, only a few executives knew about it.
However, from Chen Ze's expression, it seemed very familiar. Could it be that the secret of this toy had already been leaked? Thinking of this, Ou Cheng became a little nervous.
"I've never seen him before. I'm just guessing that's his name.”Chen Ze smiled and explained. He had almost exposed the secret that he was a reborn person.
"I see, a digital tyrannosaurus? This name wasn't bad either. He might as well call this product that.”Ou Cheng nodded. Their company was troubled by the name of this product, but they actually got a good answer here. From the looks of it, Chen Ze's talent in this aspect could not be underestimated!
"This toy is our company's latest development of a nurturing toy. The cubs inside will be raised by the players from the broken eggs. They have to be fed every day, walked, and have a battle system. The future of this toy is very good, but we're worried that children might not be able to accept it for a while, so we hope that Chen Ze can help me promote it with comics.”Ou Cheng said.
"I see." Chen Ze nodded. It seemed like there was a will of the heavens. In his previous life, there was a combat type of digital Tyrannosaurus machine that was very popular among children. He did not expect this toy to appear in this life.
In fact, it was not difficult to draw comics to help them promote it. In his previous life, the Japanese comic " Digimon " had made this toy popular and sold very well.
The manga that was created to promote this toy was also popular for a while back then and became an indelible classic. Taiyi, Ah He, Jia 'er, Ah Wu, Yagu Beast, Divine Plan, these became the childhood memories of countless people.
In his previous life, Digimon had achieved that. In this life, Chen Ze could use Digimon to help promote it.
However, the key was that Chen Ze did not have the time. He had to draw Slam Dunk. The task of serializing the comics in this world was even more important than in Chen Ze's previous life because the length of each series was longer than in his previous life. As a result, he spent most of his time drawing comics.
In addition, Chen Ze also had to go to Georgopol's Flying Dragon Company to supervise the production of the animation " Slam Dunk." He did not want to be dragged down by the animation like in his previous life.
With that, how could he have any extra time to draw a new manga?
"I'm afraid I have to apologize to President Ou. I don't have time to finish the new comic.”Chen Ze said helplessly.
"No time?" When Ou Cheng heard Chen Ze's words, he frowned." Master Chen Ze, are you that busy? He didn't even have the time to draw a new manga? I remember that you only have one movie, Slam Dunk.”
"I'm very sorry." Chen Ze cupped his hands." Indeed, there's only one film, Slam Dunk. However, I'm still the animation director of Slam Dunk at the animation company, so I don't have time.”
"Like this!" Ou Cheng said silently.
"No, we have time." At this moment, Lin Lan suddenly spoke up.
"When would I have the time?" Chen Ze looked at Lin Lan in confusion. Lin Lan should know him well. How could he have the time now?
"Yes." Lin Lan said," President Ou, don't worry. Chen Ze has time."”
Lin Lan was actually anxious to seal the deal with the Tyrannosaurus Rex. As long as the deal was done, the new animation magazine would be famous. They could go from a single magazine publishing company to a complex giant like Lotte.
Only in this way could he hope to surpass Lotte Society and fulfill his promise with his father.
"That's good." Ou Cheng nodded and smiled." Since Master Chen Ze has the time, please ask him to draw a part first. We'll see the effect before deciding on the specific content of the cooperation.”
Chen Ze was a famous mangaka recently. It was precisely because of this that Ou Cheng decided to look for Chen Ze for the promotion of the new game console, hoping to borrow his fame.
However, the comics industry in China was already very good. There were many famous cartoonists who specialized in drawing such promotional comics. When Chen Ze said that he didn't have time, he had already planned to look for those manga artists.
However, since the editor-in-chief of the new animation magazine said that Chen Ze had the time, there was no harm in letting him give it a try. After all, he still had to see the effect of the manga.
"When would I have the time?" Chen Ze whispered into Lin Lan's ear.
"I have my own way. Let's take over this contract first.”Lin Lan looked at Ou Cheng and whispered.
"Then it's a deal. I'll find some time to come over and take a look at Master Chen Ze's work. If it's not bad, then we'll sign the contract.”Ou Cheng shook hands with Lin Lan.
"Alright, I believe that our magazine agency's genius mangaka will definitely not disappoint you, President Ou.”
