"There are quite a lot of people here. How about we go to a private room and sit down and have a good talk? I have something to ask you."
"The inquiry will be filtered out, and we can just communicate normally."
"I still need to ask you for advice."
It has to be said that Master Akira Toriyama is quite modest. Whether it is the words he chooses or his attitude, it is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Moreover, Master Akira Toriyama has no shortage of fame or money to be able to sit in this position today.
To be honest, it is truly commendable that Master Akira Toriyama was able to humble himself and say this in this situation.
At this time, Long Tao continued to speak: "Master Toriyama Akira, I have an unwelcome request."
"But it doesn't matter."
"I'm not here alone today. Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Aragaki Ii. This is my good friend and my comic contract boss, Okita Yukie. When we have dinner together later, it should be okay for me to bring them both with me, right?"
Long Tao said seriously.
Long Tao has achieved his goal today, so the following party is actually just a simple meal for him.
Aragaki Yi Yi came here with Long Tao, so Long Tao would definitely take Aragaki Yi Yi with him when he went out for dinner.
Simultaneously.
Long Tao was able to attend this exchange meeting because he had troubled Okita Xuehui to bring Long Tao along. Now that they were going to have dinner together, Long Tao must bring Okita Xuehui along, otherwise it would be really unkind.
Akira Toriyama originally thought that Long Tao had proposed something that was particularly difficult to accomplish, but he never expected that Long Tao had proposed such a small request.
Long Tao said hurriedly: "It's just a small problem. We can go there together later."
Aragaki Ii smiled slightly and said seriously: "Hello, Mr. Toriyama Akira, I am Aragaki Ii, your fan, and I am glad to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too. I didn't expect you to be my fan. Which comic book do you like? I'll sign it for you in person while we eat later."
"Congratulations on finding an amazing boyfriend. Cherish him well."
"I will definitely cherish it. Thank you, Master Akira Toriyama."
Aragaki Iyi is very excited now. She didn't expect that she could have dinner with Master Akira Toriyama. She could also get the autograph of Master Akira Toriyama, which made Aragaki Iyi extremely happy.
Of course, Xinyuan Yi Yi knew that all this was brought by Long Tao. Without Long Tao, she would not have all this. She became more and more grateful to Long Tao in her heart.
She felt that she had found the best boyfriend in the world, no doubt about it.
After Toriyama finished chatting with Aragaki Ii, he started chatting with Okita Yukie:
"Long time no see, niece."
"Long time no see, uncle."
"Is Mr. Long Tao's comic book One Punch Man signed with your company?"
Toriyama asked curiously.
After hearing what Toriyama said, Yukie Okita nodded seriously. "Mr. Long Tao's One Punch Man comics are signed with our company, but our company only signed the distribution rights and related copyrights of the comics. This comic is of very good quality and has many innovative elements. I think it will definitely be a hit if it is promoted to the market."
"Oh, then I'm very curious. I'll read it first when we have dinner together later."
"Okay uncle, I brought the original copy of the comic."
Okita Yukie was very happy in her heart. What happened today was full of twists and turns for Okita Yukie, but the final result was perfect. After all this trouble, Long Tao and Long Tao's comic book will definitely be published in major newspapers tomorrow.
By then, not only Long Tao himself will become popular, but this comic of Long Tao will also become popular.
Originally, Okita Yukie only had 99% confidence in her heart, but now Okita Yukie's confidence has risen to .
Okita Xuehui discovered that Long Tao was her lucky star. Ever since she met Long Tao, everything that happened to her was particularly good, and everything she did went smoothly.
Now One Punch Man is becoming increasingly popular again, which makes Okita Yukie particularly excited.
Especially tonight, she can have dinner with Master Akira Toriyama again. At that time, she will recommend One Punch Man to Master Akira Toriyama. With the help of Master Akira Toriyama, the sales of One Punch Man will definitely reach a higher level.
This is the truest thought in her heart right now.
"Then let's go eat now."
'OK. '
"Mr. Long Tao, your name sounds more like a Chinese name. Could it be that you are from China?"
Long Tao nodded: "Yes, I am a real Chinese."
"I see. Chinese culture is broad and profound. I think only Chinese people can come up with a solution to this century-old problem."
"Is Mr. Long Tao in college now?"
"Yes, I'm a sophomore this year. My main job is going to school and my side job is drawing comics."
"It is true that genius comes from youth. Mr. Long Tao, you are really amazing."
Chapter 254 God of Gods
The four of them were chatting while eating.
Long Tao and Master Akira Toriyama are chatting.
Aragaki Ii and Okita Yukie are chatting.
Originally, due to the presence of Akira Toriyama, Aragaki Ii and Okita Yukie were a little embarrassed to chat because they felt that they were not respecting Akira Toriyama.
However, thanks to Akira Toriyama, the two began to chat freely, but their voices were kept low and did not affect the conversation between Long Tao and Akira Toriyama.
Aragaki Yi Yi especially cherishes the opportunity in front of her.
As an ordinary college student, apart from her good looks and big breasts, Aragaki Yi Yi actually has nothing special and outstanding, especially in terms of study and ability.
But Aragaki Yi Yi still cherishes the opportunities in front of her.
For Aragaki Yi Yi, the opportunity before her is particularly precious. If she can grasp it well, it will be very beneficial to her future.
As Long Tao became more and more outstanding, Xin Yuan Yi Yi actually began to have some particularly fearful thoughts in her heart. She felt that Long Tao was too outstanding and that she was getting further and further away from Long Tao, which made Xin Yuan Yi Yi feel particularly threatened.
It's no exaggeration to say...
Xinyuan Yiyi feels that if she doesn't work hard, she may not even see Long Tao. In this case, she will cherish every opportunity Long Tao brings her, grasp these opportunities and make progress.
Aragaki Yi Yi had two main considerations. On the one hand, she wanted to shorten the gap between herself and Long Tao, and on the other hand, she wanted to make both of them better through her own efforts.
Of course, what Aragaki Yiyi meant by making both of them better was that Long Tao, who was biased towards her, was too outstanding. She couldn't even imagine what the scene would be like after Long Tao became better and better.
Aragaki Yi is particularly curious about Okita Yukie because Okita Yukie was the editor-in-chief of KY Animation Club and now the chief editor, and Okita Yukie is also the general manager of KY Animation Club.
Aragaki Yi Yi feels that there are many things about Okita Yukie that are particularly worth learning from, so Okita Yukie will seize the opportunity to learn from her.
This is what Aragaki Yi Yi is thinking now.
Aragaki Yi is particularly curious about Okita Yukie, and Okita Yukie is also particularly curious about Aragaki Yi.
Long Tao was very outstanding before, and now he is a person that people look up to. In this case, Okita Xuehui is very curious. What kind of girl does Long Tao like? Why does Long Tao like Aragaki Yiyi among so many girls?
This is what Okita Yukie is particularly curious about. She wants to see what is so shining about Aragaki Yi that makes Long Tao like her so much?
The two began chatting, but unlike Long Tao and Akira Toriyama, they were a little different because they were girls, so the content of the chat was not very profound from the beginning.
The two started their conversation from a more daily perspective.
At this time, Akira Toriyama asked curiously, "Mr. Long Tao, what do you think about the development and future of the entire Japanese comics industry?"
When Long Tao heard Toriyama Akira ask this, he said seriously: "Mr. Toriyama Akira, you are my senior, you don't have to be so polite when addressing me, just call me Long Tao directly. I will feel embarrassed if you keep calling me Mr. Long Tao."
"Okay okay."
“Actually, this is what I think about the future of the entire manga industry in Japan.”
"With the prosperity of the Internet and the advancement of technology, most entertainment will be replaced by the Internet in the future. At the same time, it will shift from PC Internet to mobile Internet."
"In the comics industry alone, the reading habits of the vast majority of users will change from paper reading and paper distribution to online reading, that is, reading using the Internet."
"The future trend will definitely shift towards the Internet. E-reading will become the main reading trend and mainstream trend in the future."
When Akira Toriyama heard what Long Tao said, he nodded seriously.
In fact, when Akira Toriyama asked this question, he already knew the answer. It's just that he still had some resistance to this answer in his heart. There was no other reason. As a traditional author, Akira Toriyama was accustomed to paper publishing and paper distribution.
For him, reading experience and habits are basically concentrated on traditional reading, that is, reading through comic publishing.
under these circumstances.
It would be very uncomfortable for him to change his reading method abruptly.
He knew that this was the trend of the times and was completely unavoidable, but because he was a person from the previous era, he was accustomed to a certain way of life and habits, and he rashly developed new habits and connected himself to the new world.
This still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
but.
It doesn’t matter whether you are used to it or not. What is more important is to be able to develop and exist in the long term.
So Akira Toriyama curiously asked: "Do you think this will have an impact on some traditional comic authors?"
Long Tao added two slices of sashimi. Although he was a little reluctant to eat sashimi, Ma Yuan still chose to eat it because it was almost noon and he was quite hungry.
Long Tao smiled and said, "The times are always progressing. Whether there is a war or not, this is an inevitable trend of history. Of course, the times I am talking about refer to the times in a broad sense rather than a one-sided one."
"Times are always progressing, whether it is content creators or people's reading methods. From the most ancient Stone Age, to the later bamboo raft recording era... and the later paper era. First of all, the way of creation has changed, and the realm is the change in the way of reading."
"Our current era is no exception. I think in the future, almost all reading will move online and offline. Paper reading will also remain a part, but not much. Under this situation and premise... the way of creation will definitely change."
"People's creation will shift from offline storyboarding to online creation. In fact, the change in the creation method will not only not affect these traditional authors, but will also increase their content creation speed, increase their output and improve the quality of content."
"People will not change. But machines can change a lot of things and help people complete a lot of work. They can make up for some of the shortcomings of humans, find out the gaps and improve the speed."
"In the next Internet era, whoever can master the use of tools first and improve speed will be able to reduce costs and beat other competitors."
“This is an inevitable trend in the future.”
After hearing what Long Tao said, Akira Toriyama nodded seriously, but before he expressed any opinion, Okita Yukie, who was sitting next to him, quickly wrote down what Long Tao said.
Chapter 255 Vice President
As the general manager of KY Animation, Yukie Okita has a certain foresight in her analysis of the future.
However, Okita Yukie's view on the development of major future trends is still rather one-sided.
At the same time, I am also quite confused.
As the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines are often confused. Whether it is Akira Toriyama or Yukie Okita, they are the people of this era. Being in the torrent of the times, it is really difficult to see the future development trend. As a reborn person, Long Tao has the advantage of foresight and can grasp the general trend of the future. This is very normal.
Two people in the middle of the game.
They are able to see some future developments and have a certain degree of confidence, which is actually very forward-looking.
Because no one knows what will happen in the future. Even if there are some signs and clues, they don’t know how to use the resources at hand to move closer to the major trends of the future.
This is a very normal thing.
It is no exaggeration to say that even Long Tao himself does not know what the trends will be after 2024. Even if Long Tao knows what the trends are, he does not know how to do it to make himself better.
Long Tao knew that artificial intelligence would definitely flourish after 2024. However, how to embed himself into the torrent of this great era to gain benefits for himself was something that Long Tao had no idea about. Under this premise, it was impossible for Akira Toriyama and Yukie Okita to accurately judge the future development trend.
Back to the present.
Since Toriyama Akira was impressed by what Long Tao said before, Okita Yukie was also impressed. Okita Yukie carefully wrote down everything Long Tao said. At the same time, he planned to ask for advice about future development trends after today's exchange meeting.
If she could understand future development trends, Okita Yukie would be one step ahead of others.
At that time, it will be of great benefit whether it is industrial layout or overall development.
Back to the topic, after hearing what Long Tao said, Akira Toriyama nodded seriously again.
Akira Toriyama discovered that Long Tao's thinking was so comprehensive. Even though Long Tao was so young, he did not look down on him, because the ability and strength demonstrated by Long Tao were simply not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Under such circumstances...Akira Toriyama had only one thought in his mind.
That is to discuss with Long Tao as much as possible and learn more about the future industrial layout and practical operation methods.
This is what Akira Toriyama is more concerned about.
Toriyama Akira thought of something and said seriously: "At present, the entire industry association in Japan has been established, but there are no relevant policies and systems to promote the development of innovative works. I wonder if you, Long Tao, have time to help formulate relevant policies and systems."
After hearing what Toriyama said, Long Tao paused for a moment and said, "My main focus right now is on studying. I will do these things in my free time, but it will take a little while. I wonder if you can wait."
In fact, this was all Long Tao's excuse. For Long Tao, there was absolutely no benefit in working for nothing, which was something he absolutely did not want.
As for the previous 2,000 million reward and this dinner, Long Tao earned it through his own ability.
