Although Boss Jia really wanted to meet this cartoonist who had such an advanced idea, it was a pity that when Kazuki Takahashi brought people to the address where the letter was sent to find the cartoonist, the cartoonist was no longer there.
It turned out that the cartoonist had made a big hole in the apartment and blew up all the circuits. The entire apartment was basically ruined.
So a week ago, he was kicked out by the landlord. Now, no one knew where the cartoonist was.
This made Boss Jia feel quite regretful. He felt that he might have missed a masterpiece. Then, he pondered in his heart whether he should simply create a sword girl to avoid wasting such a perfect idea.
However, Boss Jia thought about it and decided to forget about it. It would be fine if there was no submission of this comic. But now that someone had submitted it, there would be evidence in the future to prove that it was plagiarism. Boss Jia didn't want to be like a certain penguin and be stained with the reputation of plagiarism.
This was a very interesting idea because our Boss Jia seemed to have forgotten that he himself relied on plagiarism to make a fortune.
Boss Jia could only ask Kazuki Takahashi to continue to look for information on this cartoonist and then figure out where to get a serialized comic.
"Right, boss, do you have a plan for the authors of our comics to be changed?" Kazuki Takahashi asked carefully.
"I really don't have this!" No matter how smart Boss Jia was, there were times when he forgot things. Although it was good to adapt all the well-known IPs under the Daqian into comics, Boss Jia only remembered that he hadn't even found a cartoonist to adapt them after Kazuki Takahashi reminded him.
"Then, I'll leave this matter to you. You go and contact some skilled and honest cartoonists who aren't famous. The key is to have obedient cartoonists to help us adapt these comics!" Boss Jia directly threw this task to Kazuki Takahashi.
"Boss, tomorrow is the day of Comicmarket47. Why don't we go there to find talents!" Kazuki Takahashi suddenly said with some excitement.
“Comicmarket47？” This English word made Boss Jia a little confused. It wasn't that Boss Jia's Chinese wasn't good, but Kazuki Takahashi's Japanese English was too bad. It made Boss Jia confused.
"Uh, translated into Japanese, it's the 47th Comic Market!" Seeing Boss Jia's confusion, Kazuki Takahashi quickly explained.
As a result, this explanation made Boss Jia even more confused.
Comic Market?
Is it a place like the flower and bird market?
Seeing that Boss Jia was still confused, Kazuki Takahashi organized his words and explained, "It's a place where all cartoonists, animators, and other people in the animation industry gather together to sell their works and buy other excellent works at the same time!"
"In addition to selling some original works of cartoonists and animators, there will also be some doujinshi works of popular animations and comics. In addition, there will be some people who dress up like the characters in the animations. Anyway, it's a very interesting place!" Kazuki Takahashi tried to introduce it in a way that Hua Xia people could understand.
However, most Hua Xia people were still confused when they heard this, but Boss Jia understood.
"You're not talking about C47 and cosplay, are you?" Boss Jia suddenly realized.
"Yes, that's what it means, that's what it means. I didn't expect boss to know the abbreviation of C47!" Kazuki Takahashi said in surprise.
"Nonsense, if you had told me earlier that it was C47, instead of talking about English and the comic market, I would have realized it long ago!" Boss Jia snorted coldly.
Indeed, compared to the official name of the comic market, or the literal English translation of the comic market, Hua Xia people basically don't understand.
But if it's C47, then countless Hua Xia anime fans in the future will immediately realize it and smile knowingly.
Comic Market can actually be more easily understood as an anime doujinshi exhibition, and this is the largest anime doujinshi exhibition in all of Fusang, and even the world.
In the beginning, this was just a venue for cartoonists to meet with their fans, exchange ideas about their works, and sell things to earn some money. But as time passed, this became the most famous and grandest comic convention in the world.
Every time it was held, there would be millions of anime fans attending. During the few days of the anime exhibition, the Tokyo Railway Bureau would specially open 10 Shinkansen trains to ensure smooth public transportation.
And all of Hua Xia's anime exhibitions were basically learned from the Comic Market.
Of course, Boss Jia and all the future anime fans of Hua Xia would be so familiar with the Comic Market, and even more familiar with the abbreviation of the English word C + number, because of some fixed compressed files starting with CXX, which were all spiritual food for the otakus.
Back to the topic, although the Comicmarket had always been very low-key and did not even carry out any special publicity, it had developed into the largest gathering of manga artists and anime enthusiasts in all of Fu Sang. It was held twice a year. Basically, all of Fu Sang's low-level manga artists and artists would appear at the Comicmarket.
After all, these cartoonists also needed to make a living. In an era without the Internet, there were not many places that could openly sell the various kinds of workbooks that these cartoonists drew. Or rather, there were no such places at all.
They can only count on the Comic Market, which is held twice a year, to exchange their works for money to continue their manga creation.
Therefore, if Boss Jia wants to find a manga artist with superb drawing skills, but no fame, the best tool, he will definitely find someone at the Comic Market.
Don't underestimate the Comic Market. Many of the national level manga and anime works in the future came out of the Comic Market.
Among them, the most famous was probably the Type-Moon world. In the year 00, the scriptwriter Mushroom Narushi and the artist Takeuchi Chong jointly founded the club TYPE-MOON. In the 59th Comic Market, which is C59, their club's first text adventure game "Yue Ji" was published, and then the creation of the Type-Moon world began.
Then, in the year 04 C67, the Type-Moon world's peak work "Fatestaynight" was published. In the future, it will be listed on Bilibili, make Bilibili's monthly income exceed 100 million RMB, make global income exceed 1 billion USD, and make King Arthur turn from a man to a woman. Then, it will sweep all the popular anime characters list.
Therefore, Boss Jia will definitely not go wrong in making a trip to C47. Even if he can't find any manga artists with potential, he will be able to buy a large pile of thick exercise books. This is definitely not a loss!
Thinking of this, Boss Jia very happily decided to go with Kazuki Takahashi tomorrow to see what kind of magical place C47 in 1994 was.
