"Okay, please sit down. Next one, please, is the girl sitting at the back, the one wearing light green."
Long Tao didn't expect that right after Yamamoto Ichiro finished answering, Master Akira Toriyama actually drew Aoyama Miyuki.
This made Long Tao a little surprised. Long Tao didn't know whether Master Akira Toriyama chose them randomly or with a purpose?
After being picked by Master Akira Toriyama, Aoyama Miyuki was extremely excited. She didn't expect that Master Akira Toriyama would pick her, which made her very excited.
Until Aoyama Miyuki stood up, she couldn't believe that she was chosen by Master Akira Toriyama.
But Cangshan Miyuki is not an ordinary person. After thinking for a while, she said seriously: "I think we can start from the convenience of the website and intervene in the website and the company. Let them support and help innovative works."
"Under normal circumstances, companies would definitely not do this for their own benefit. At this time, the Comics Association needs to intervene or industry leaders need to formulate relevant policies or effective standardized processes."
"Only in this way can we implement the established rules and regulations and achieve the results we want."
Toriyama Akira nodded, and he agreed with what Aoyama Miyuki said.
However, this can only be implemented as an auxiliary method.
Until now, Akira Toriyama has not heard an answer that satisfies him. Then Master Akira Toriyama called several more people, but he still didn't hear the answer he wanted, which inevitably made him a little disappointed.
Then he saw another person, who was none other than Long Tao in the crowd.
"Please welcome this handsome young man."
Long Tao didn't expect that Akira Toriyama would use such a novel word, which surprised him a little.
Long Tao stood up slowly.
In fact, Long Tao was not surprised by this question. In his previous life, he had no choice but to leave because he had no other choice. He stayed in Hong Kong for a while.
Since he is in Hong Kong, Long Tao has a very comprehensive understanding of Hong Kong's support systems and information, especially about the decline of the Hong Kong film era.
At that time, Long Tao conducted systematic research and investigation, and also looked up relevant information on the decline of the Hong Kong film era.
After Long Tao checked the relevant information, he suddenly realized why the Hong Kong era fell, and he also knew what to do to continue the glory of the Hong Kong era.
In fact, this is completely inseparable from several aspects.
When Long Tao heard the knowledge and systems that the people present talked about, he knew that the knowledge and systems they talked about were not wrong, but they were not comprehensive enough, not specific enough, and could not be implemented well.
With Long Tao's original level, he would definitely not be able to answer such a difficult question, but Long Tao happened to have read some information on this subject.
Long Tao can use the wisdom of countless people behind him to deal with this problem.
So Long Tao said, "Actually, it's relatively simple to solve this problem."
Long Tao was originally planning to just keep losing weight, but before he could continue, the crowd below immediately went wild. They didn't expect Long Tao to be so wild.
At first glance, Long Tao is only eighteen or nineteen years old. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he can come to participate in this exchange meeting. Everyone thought that Long Tao had taken a back door. Under this preconceived impression, their impression of Long Tao is actually not very good.
Although the impression was bad, everyone was still quite polite towards Long Tao. Anyone who could use the back door was a relatively powerful person. The fact that Long Tao could use the back door proved that Long Tao's strength was absolutely extraordinary. They didn't need to offend Long Tao just for their own inner preferences.
As old foxes, everyone present was more cunning than the other.
However, when they heard Long Tao say that solving this problem was very simple, they all couldn't hold back at all. Before that, Akira Toriyama had called on several people one after another, but the answers given by these people did not satisfy Akira Toriyama.
In this situation, Long Tao actually said that the problem that no one could solve was very simple. How could everyone stay calm?
Cangshan Meixue was a little surprised when she heard Long Tao say that. She didn't know whether Long Tao was confident or just boastful. To be honest, with Cangshan Meixue's current knowledge system, the best method he could think of was the one he just mentioned, and this method was not easy for ordinary people to think of.
Standardize the system and use associations to bind it.
In fact, what Cangshan Miyuki wants to express is to establish industry norms, use several large companies to bind the government, and let the government introduce relevant policies to help achieve this goal.
Aoyama Miyuki didn't say it very directly, because once she said it, it would be too offensive. Aoyama Miyuki said it very metaphorically, but when Toriyama Akira heard it, he knew what Toriyama Akira wanted to express.
In other words, a few large oligarchs control the vast majority of profits and benefits, and use the oligopoly effect to support innovation.
This approach does have certain advantages, but the disadvantages are also particularly obvious. If the industry association is controlled by a few leading companies, then it will basically be impossible for subsequent small companies in the entire comics industry to join this industry in the future.
This approach has both advantages and disadvantages.
The biggest benefit is indeed being able to solve this innovation problem in the short term as well as in the medium and long term.
However, the biggest disadvantage of this is that it is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause. If it is not properly monitored, it is very likely to destroy the entire industry.
This method is extremely risky. It is no exaggeration to say that it is like dancing on a tightrope. If you are not careful, the entire industry will be ruined.
It has to be said that as the daughter of Sony's general manager, Aoyama Miyuki is quite capable and her opinion is also quite harsh. To be honest...if she is really in power, but the people below do not implement it properly, sometimes it is very likely that a good thing will turn into a bad thing.
Of course, if it can be implemented properly, it can also turn bad things into good things.
Compared to Cangshan Miyuki's idea, other people's ideas are much simpler and gentler. But the effect is not as good as Cangshan Miyuki's method, nor as obvious.
Chapter 248 Too crazy
This is also the reason why Cangshan Miyuki was particularly surprised when she heard Long Tao say that solving this problem was particularly simple.
After so many people present put their heads together, no one could think of a method that would satisfy Akira Toriyama. Could Long Tao alone defeat everyone else and come up with a perfect solution?
Aoyama Miyuki felt that this possibility was very small. After all, the reason why humans are humans is that they are not omnipotent.
Long Tao may be a second-generation rich man, and he may be talented in other aspects, but this is a difficult problem that has troubled everyone for a long time. If it were so easy to solve, then others would have solved it long ago. The reason why no one can solve it is because this problem is basically close to unsolvable.
Just like what Master Akira Toriyama said before, the decline of the Hong Kong film era was the same.
The Hong Kong film era was so glorious in the past that it was not only one of the best in the entire Southeast Asia region, but it was even able to influence Hollywood and export to Hollywood.
Such a prosperous film era will eventually decline.
What’s more, the comics industry is right now.
What's more, compared to the comic industry, the stimulation and sensation brought by movies are more direct, and the income and related output value are also quite considerable.
In this situation, what Long Tao said was really too crazy.
"This kid is too crazy. I have never seen such a crazy person before."
"He actually dared to say that it was easy to solve this problem. It's really funny. He is young and ignorant, but he uses his ignorance as his capital."
"If this problem could be solved so easily, it would have been solved long ago. Does he think that his wisdom and energy alone far surpass ours?"
"This kid actually boasted in front of Master Akira Toriyama. I want to see how he ends up."
"It's a good thing for young people to be reckless, but they also need to use their brains. If they don't, it would be really foolish."
"I have never seen such a fool."
Aragaki Yiyi, who was sitting next to Long Tao, was also a little nervous. She didn't expect her boyfriend to speak so arrogantly. Although as a girlfriend, Aragaki Yiyi still preferred Long Tao to say this, because it was a manifestation of a man's self-confidence.
However, Aragaki Yi Yi also felt that it was too difficult to solve this problem.
Aragaki Yiyi had thought of several methods before, but since she was not selected, these methods had already been mentioned by others. After thinking about it, Aragaki Yiyi could only think of the methods mentioned by the previous people.
Now when Xinyuan Yi Yi heard Long Tao say this, she was stunned.
Long Tao didn't take what everyone said to heart.
In fact, Long Tao said this on purpose. After Long Tao had discussed the publicity plan for One Punch Man, Long Tao was ready to take an unconventional approach.
Long Tao's arrogance was deliberately brought out for everyone to see. The purpose of showing it to everyone was very simple, which was to let others remember him and form a preliminary impression of him.
When other people's impression of him remained that he was a very arrogant young man, Long Tao's goal was achieved.
Long Tao continued: "In fact, it is very simple to solve this problem. I think we can start from three aspects."
"The first aspect is that if a company wants to develop better, as a comics company, it is a content industry. If a company wants to develop well, it cannot do without good content."
"At this time, we can start with the content. How to start with the content? The seniors in front of me just now said it well. Let me briefly summarize it."
"It is divided into two aspects: the first aspect is to establish an association, inject funds, and encourage innovative works. However, this step is easy to take, and people from the wrong association have to take turns to be in charge. At the same time, there are strict scoring and innovation indexes."
“This is the first time that the association’s funds have been used to encourage innovative works.”
"Step 2. If a company wants to survive, it must have excellent works. Readers are used to seeing homogeneous content, and their tastes will definitely be towards innovative works. At this time, we can use the association to continuously guide readers and actively expose excellent works."
“The two points are interdependent.”
“From the editorial level of the company.”
"If a good work wants to be released to the market, it must be reviewed by an editor. Generally speaking, the editor will use his or her past experience to speculate whether the comic book will be a hit after it is released to the market."
"This is the time to step up efforts to encourage innovation."
"This is just a relatively simple method, and it cannot fundamentally solve the problem."
"In fact, if you want to fundamentally solve this problem, there are only two ways."
"The first method is to expand the user base. Japanese comics are supported by an industrialized system, so comics from other countries must have the first-mover advantage."
"No industry can exist for a long time, except for people's food, clothing, housing and transportation. However, if there is no industry that exists for a long time, we can create one that will exist for a long time. How to create it? That is industrial transfer and industrialization transfer."
"The comics that people produce now may not sell well in China after more than 10 years of sales, but they can be transferred to developing countries. There are countless developing countries in the world."
"The routines that were popular more than 10 years ago are still very innovative and popular in some developing countries. The same is true."
"We just need to continuously transfer these works to developing countries according to the time, innovation index and sales year. This will keep the industry developing continuously. This is a more appropriate method and one that can bring more benefits to everyone."
"In other words, as technology develops, people's entertainment methods will change, but the fundamental thing will not change, that is, the pursuit of good content. Good content is always good content."
“This is the first solution.”
Master Akira Toriyama's eyes lit up instantly when he heard Long Tao's first method. He had a vague feeling about it before, but it was not as systematic as what Long Tao said. Now when he heard Long Tao say this, he became very alert.
This was the feeling and approach he was looking forward to.
At this time, Long Tao continued, "This method can extend the life of the comics industry, and it can also extend the life of many industries. Of course, this is just a common method, and many industrialized countries do this. Of course, they basically transfer low-end manufacturing industries, and not many people transfer to the content industry."
"No one is upgrading the content or investing in the sinking market. There is no other reason, because the cultural isolation is too serious. But comics are different. Comics are visually impactful reading materials. You only need to change the text to launch them in different countries."
"The second method I mentioned is the core method to maintain long-term competitiveness and enable the entire industry to develop better."
"My method is called the catfish effect. That is to say, based on the first method, I will introduce some powerful multinational companies and let the government introduce relevant policies to support overseas content exports."
"If the government supports the export of overseas content, the most obvious effect is that in order to make money, both large and small companies will desperately export their content overseas."
"A company's products need to be marketed around the world and shipped overseas. The first thing it will face is obviously the challenges of globalization and global competition."
"Whether setting up a business or working, the fundamental reason is to make money. Only when relevant policies or conditions enable businesses to make money will they take the initiative to do something."
"Whether it's an association or anything else, it's only a temporary solution and will eventually become a private plaything. The same goes for policy making, which will definitely become a slush fund for top or middle-to-high-end companies."
“But it doesn’t matter at all.”
"As long as we can earn enough foreign exchange, this is effective. Not only can the company develop in the long run, but it will also become stronger and stronger."
"As companies go global, they also hone their products, seek innovation, and cultural differences. Because only in this way can they survive, and companies that survive will take the initiative to innovate and make some global strategic deployments."
"This is the solution that can both treat the symptoms and the root cause."
"Only internal drive and profit drive can enable enterprises to maintain long-term innovation. This is the fundamental method I am talking about."
As soon as Long Tao finished speaking, the whole audience fell silent.
This was followed by thunderous applause.
Akira Toriyama witnessed all this and was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Chapter 249 My God, is this a monster?
Cangshan Miyuki listened to everything Long Tao said.
Suddenly, everything became clear and enlightened.
She had some good methods before, but they were only prototypes and not a complete idea.
It is almost impossible to solve this problem with these simple prototypes.
In this case, she did not say these good methods, because it is useless to say them out, everyone knows what the ultimate goal is. It is meaningless to say the answer towards the goal.
But when Long Tao explained these things systematically, it was as if Cangshan Miyuki had been enlightened.
She didn't expect that Long Tao could systematically summarize such practical methods, and each of these methods could be systematically applied to the comics industry.
Moreover, this method can be applied not only to the comics industry, but also to most industries.
The material base determines the superstructure. For the vast majority of Japanese, what they consider is not the issues of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but whether the upward channel is blocked.
Most of the upward channels have been blocked.
It is actually very difficult for them to solve these problems by crossing these rising channels. Under such circumstances... many people have already become numb.
The comics industry is one of the few industries that still has a huge path to upward mobility and the ability to change one's social class.
