After dinner, Chen Ze and Lin Lan went back to rest. It's a long journey from G city to Tokyo. So Chen Ze and Lin Lan washed and went to bed early.
At 10 a.m. the next day, Aya Hirano came to meet Chen Ze and Lin Lan. It seems that the Sanmin publishing house has fully considered the rest of Chen Ze and Lin Lan, and has chosen the right time, just as Chen Ze just got up to wash.
"Mr. Chen, Miss Lin, the president of our publishing house invites you two to lunch. After lunch, let's go to the signing place. "
In Chen Ze's room, Hirano Ling said.
Chen Ze and Lin Lan nodded, followed Hirano Ayana, got into the car of their publishing house and drove to the restaurant arranged by their club leader.
It seems that the restaurant arranged by the publishing house is not far from the hotel. It took less than 20 minutes to reach the destination.
In the distance, Chen Ze saw a group of Japanese people in their forties standing at the door of the restaurant, as if they were waiting for something. As soon as Chen Ze and Lin Lan got out of the car, they surrounded them.
"Hello, Mr. Chen Ze and Ms. Lin for the first time." The leader said, but what he said was not awkward. It was obvious that he was able to learn this Chinese sentence.
"Hello, President Kan."
Chen Ze returned with a smile. On the way, he had already seen a picture of the president of Sanmin publishing house from pingye Ling. Therefore, as soon as I got off the bus, I recognized the Japanese who was greeting them as the president of the publishing house.
In reply to the president of the publishing house, Chen Ze was also surprised. The president of the publishing house invited him to dinner, which was in his expectation. But he didn't expect that the president of the publishing house would wait for him at the door of the restaurant.
In fact, if Chen Ze knew what his dunk master had brought to Sanmin publishing house, he would not be surprised by the president's action.
After entering the Japanese market, "slam dunk master" sold well. In the first week, the sales volume of "slam dunk master" rushed to the weekly sales list of their national comics.
In the second week, he reached the first position. Since then, he has never moved in the first position. And the second sales, although it is also Huaxia comics, but from him, there is still a considerable gap.
It can be said that the performance of slam dunk master has surpassed all the contemporary young cartoonists and is close to Li Mingyang, a historical figure.
For the owner of such a popular cartoon, Sanmin Publishing House naturally pays more attention to the entertainment.
This president Kan obviously only knows one sentence of Chinese. Chen Ze said hello to this sentence, he did not understand, or Hirano Ling translation to him.
Then he said a word of Japanese with a smile, and at the same time he made a gesture of asking in with his hands.
"Mr. Chen, our president said to invite you and Miss Lin in. He has already arranged lunch in it." Hirano Ling looks back and translates their president's words to Chen Ze.
"All right."
Chen Ze nodded and walked in with Lin Lan.
This restaurant seems to be a Japanese style restaurant. The whole decoration style is quite Japanese.
Sure enough, the subsequent introduction of Hirano Ling confirmed Chen Ze's idea. This is indeed a Japanese restaurant, and it is quite authentic. It has a history of more than 100 years.
Therefore, the price here is also quite high. Those who can eat here are rich or expensive.
"Mr. Chen, you are welcome to accept the invitation of our publishing house to visit Japan. I hope you can forgive me for the poor reception in our publishing house during this period. "
At the dinner table, Hirano Ling translated their president's words and said to Chen Ze and Lin Lan.
"President Kan, you are so kind." Chen Ze said with a smile that the Japanese cuisine on the table has nothing to do with their hospitality just looking at today's lunch.
"It's thanks to you Sanmin publishing house that my dunk master can be released in Japan this time, so I'm here to toast you first." Chen Ze said.
Hirano Ling immediately translated Chen Ze's words to their president.
After listening to Hirano Ling's translation, President Kan laughed and raised his glass. "Then I wish" slam dunk master "a big sale in Japan. At the same time, I wish our cooperation can continue in the long run in the future. "
"I hope our future cooperation will last for a long time." After listening to pingye Ling's translation, Chen Ze said with a smile.
After the lunch, Chen Ze and Lin Lan had a rest, and under the leadership of Hirano Ling, they drove to the spot of the signing ceremony."Chen Ze, you have drunk a lot of wine. Are you ok?" On the way, Lin Lan asked.
"Nothing." Chen Ze shook his head. Although he had just drunk a lot of wine, Japanese sake was not very strong at all. He is now, but still sober.
Soon, they arrived at Chaotian building, the place of the signing ceremony!
Chen Ze did not know how many times he had held this kind of signing in China. Although the location was changed to Japanese this time, the forms were almost the same. Therefore, Chen Ze was not worried about anything except language.
Led by the staff of the publishing house, Chen Ze and Lin Lan entered the building through the back door and reached the backcourt of the signing ceremony.
"Mr. Chen, the signing meeting we have scheduled starts at three in the afternoon. But I didn't expect that there were too many fans this time. If I continue to wait, I'm afraid it will be beyond the capacity of the whole venue. "
After a rest backstage, Hirano Ling came and said. She also knows that dunk master is indeed in Japan, and now it has an extraordinary popularity. However, when she arrived at the meeting, she found that the popularity of the cartoon was still above her imagination.
The hall of Chaotian mansion is one of the largest in Tokyo. Generally speaking, there are more than enough cartoonists here except those who are very popular.
They thought that although "slam dunk master" sold well, Chen Ze was just a rookie no matter how he said it. The signing meeting was set here. There was absolutely no problem.
Even they are worried about whether the whole venue will be empty because there are not enough fans.
Now, their worries are really superfluous.
Not only did it not appear empty, but also the number of fans has almost exceeded the maximum capacity of the venue. If you continue to wait, fans will crowd the Chaotian building.
Chen Ze listened to pingye Ling's words and nodded. He understood the meaning of pingye Ling's words: "well, let's hold the signing meeting ahead of time."
"OK, I'll get ready right away." Hirano Ling nodded.
After a while, we were ready for the signing ceremony in Japan.
"Fans, fans. We're going to sign for the slam dunk master from now on. Let's invite the cartoonist of dunk master, Mr. Chen Zechen from China
On a small stage, the host said. As soon as his voice fell, Chen Ze went up. He took the microphone from the staff and said hello to the fans in Japanese.
"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Ze. Thank you for liking dunk master."
Chen Ze learned this sentence with Lin Lan last night, but it took him a long time to master it skillfully. Now in front of a group of Japanese fans, I speak up.
Originally, "slam dunk master" was sold in Japan, so we especially like this sports animation, so we are also very interested in the author of this cartoon.
With this mentality, some fans searched for Chen Ze's information on the Internet. It turns out that he is already a very popular cartoonist in China. He is the first person of the same generation, even in front of many predecessors.
This will make fans more interested in him. Especially some female fans, seeing that Chen Ze is still so young and handsome, just like maple Liuchuan in the cartoon, are directly attracted to him.
So Chen Ze's greeting in Japanese directly received a warm response from his fans. Chen Ze's enthusiasm, which is even stronger than that in China, is a direct surprise to him.
