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

Compared to the general market popularity of Chinese dramas and other performances, the good market foundation and excellent performers of special dramas have kept the live performance market in Japan hot, making it a paradise for performances.

Market statistics show that it reached 500 billion yen in 2018, and by 2023 it had risen to 700 billion, with an astonishing market size.

But like many industries, although the Japanese stage play market is prosperous, most practitioners are not doing well, and many theater troupes are still worried about money.

There are always a small number of top ones who make money, and the others can only have a bowl of porridge.

The team's main expenses include two items, one is the venue fee, and the other is the copyright fee.

Therefore, many stage performances use old repertoires that do not require copyright fees. They drool over the popular film and television dramas and animation themes.

This time, "Cells at Work!" is a comic that is very suitable for adaptation into a performance, and many performers can't sleep after reading it.

After they asked anxiously, they really didn't expect Shingo Oda to give a very low licensing fee, which was a pleasant surprise.

What is even more surprising is that Oda Shingo even gave the brief story and character setting draft directly to the Tokyo stage play team.

"Ali Gadu, Oda-sama!"

In the past, even if there was an authorization, the other party would only give permission, and would not provide any substantial support for your stage play.

Please figure out the character's personality, what clothes to wear, and any small movements from the original work. I don't care if you are exhausted or not, you only paid the authorization fee, and didn't give me any guidance fee.

So Oda Shingo is very kind to stage play practitioners. And getting the official setting draft can greatly reduce the time for the stage manager to prepare props, and even reduce the investment.

Therefore, the stage play actors wanted to kneel on the spot.

Anyway, according to tradition, the actors spontaneously added praises to Oda Shingo in the prayer section at the beginning of the play.

"Please bless Tianyu Shumeiming! Please bless Oda-sama!"

Tianyu Shumeiming is a goddess in Japanese legend who dances in front of the gods in front of the cave where Amaterasu is hidden.

She danced very hard, and finally her top came loose and she was bare-chested. Only then did she lead Amaterasu out of the cave, and the world regained light.

If Oda Shingo knew that he was on the same level as her, he might have had a lot of erotic thoughts. Anyway, he refused to dance in public.

The stage play workers worked overtime overnight to rework the script and rehearse.

So, on the third day of the online serialization of "Cells at Work!", there were already GGs in the stage play on the street.

[The stage play of the super popular manga "Cells at Work!" is in progress! It is scheduled for Saturday and Friday later this month! ]

The stage play GG has also expanded the influence of the manga.

More and more parents and children know about this manga.

Not only that, more and more GGs of "Cells at Work!" in various forms have begun to appear spontaneously.

Then, radio dramas followed suit.

The Japanese radio and CD industry has never been cold, which may be related to the high-quality radio programs. Many people, especially housewives, like to listen to the radio while busy with housework.

Voice programs are very suitable for this kind of audience. There are also various workers such as transport drivers, deliverymen and toll booths, who are loyal listeners of radio dramas.

So the educational entertainment of "Cells at Work!" has expanded to this group of people.

Then, short videos of folk creation began to emerge! Even self-portrait short dramas landed on youtube!

In a sample survey of the public, the Ministry of Culture obtained a work data report showing:

[Which work content or publicity project of the Ministry of Culture are you most familiar with? 】

As a result, 43% of the surveyed people chose "Cells at Work!" Even the audience of the 2023 annual work report of the Director of the Ministry of Culture is not as high as this, second only to the awareness of the Red and White Songs Festival!

Of course, the Red and White Songs Festival is an annual traditional program, and almost everyone knows it.

"Shingo, another massive authorization request."

Now, as the media assistant of Oda Shingo, Fujido Kaoki opens his mailbox every day and sees overwhelming authorization requests.

"The physical peripheral products will be operated by Springfield Bookstore, and the authorization of stage plays, radio plays, etc. will be given to the business agent under Mrs. Yukino. Of course, the principles are still in accordance with what I set."

Oda Shingo was too busy to reply one by one.

He directly handed the negotiation over to a professional work team he trusted.

Drawing good comics is his most important task. All other work is based on this, and we must not lose sight of the main point.

"Shingo, this issue of "GANTZ" is the end of the battle of the Buddha Star." Namikaze Yukaku was in a very good mood and reported in high spirits.

Although many characters died in this battle, the big-breasted girl she personally didn't like also died.

And the ponytail and thick-lipped girl that the protagonist temporarily vented also died.

Namikaze Yukaku naturally didn't know the origin of the image of this ponytail and thick-lipped girl, it was just the original author expressing his X fantasy about a game heroine.

Well, although it can't be said to be to the extent of cursing someone to death, when he thought that the protagonist's feelings were about to turn to the genuine heroine with small breasts, Namikaze Yukaku couldn't suppress his happiness in his heart.

This is all Fujido Kaoru's fault...

"Although the protagonist has lost all his companions, the situation should be more tense after a short transition." Oda Shingo recalled the design of the original work, "The dwarf alien should put more pressure on the protagonist."

The original work on Earth maintains a good rhythm, especially in forcing the protagonist, which is simply the pinnacle, making readers sweat for the protagonist at any time.

Because it is a real death! Kato, who is most like a traditional protagonist, died, and Kishimoto Megumi, who is most like a traditional heroine, died. It is possible that Kurono Kei will also die!

Sure enough, after the release of this issue of "RED", readers were collectively high by the plot of "GANTZ".

The powerful Buddha statue aliens, with the attitude of sniping in the middle of the road with the protagonist group, died one by one.

Especially the last thousand-handed statue, which directly made the protagonist despair and collapse.

[Dead! All dead! Hahaha! ]

[Another crazy one! No, there is me! ]

[Masaka——? ! The big sister is dead! Tell me this is not true! Which author is willing to let such a big and bear female character die? ]

[The author Oda Laothie has money and does not plan to sell peripherals! ]

[But the plot is really good! I can't wait for half a month! ]

[Help, help! The dwarf alien is so scary! The protagonist is really in danger! ]

[Other comics don't need to worry about the protagonist, but "GANTZ" can't! The protagonist may really die! ]

Readers began to ask "GANTZ" to speed up, adjust to the main issue or double the serialization.

"RED" supplement department director Takano Ran was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Being popular is a good thing, but why do they want to move the issue! Don't you think highly of our "RED"? Now the circulation of the supplement has reached 900,000, okay!

Although she also admitted that this sales volume is really all due to "GANTZ"...

Oda Shingo is really cruel, giving benefits, killing people, and even forcing the protagonist.

When I have dinner with Mikami Saburo tonight, I will talk to him about Oda Shingo again.

On the other side, Oda Shingo received a new message.

The licensing negotiations for "GANTZ" conducted by Mrs. Yukino are completed!

Tokyo Eiga won the live-action movie rights at a high price!
