Chapter 59: I Am Yuzu-kun's Uncle?
Chapter 59 Am I Yuzi-kun’s uncle?
Rejecting Kumagai Genden, Hanyu Hideki would not have any psychological burden at all.
Even if "Pokémon" sells more than 100 million copies like "Dragon Ball" after its release, he will not regret it.
Because once a cartoonist chooses to serialize, he must hand over the agency rights, which is equivalent to giving up all copyrights except the cartoon copyright.
The same is true for the income from peripheral derivatives. The publishing house can take away about 20% of the peripheral income.
How much can the author of the original work get? One to three percent, and no more than five percent at most.
That’s right, that’s all!
How much revenue will there be from the games and peripherals of the "Pokémon" IP in later generations? It exceeds 100 billion US dollars.
Even if the "Pokémon" comics can be as popular as Dragon Ball, how much money can he earn just from a single line? Ten billion or 20 billion yen?
But what he has to pay is the possible future earnings of tens of billions of dollars, as well as the most critical right to speak.
Once the copyright is shared, even if he wants to make games in the future, he will need Shogakukan's approval.
Hideki Hanyu tried to ask, but before Hideki Hanyu could answer, Yui Hanyu spoke first.
After bidding farewell to Kumagai Gennori, Hanyu Hideki arrived at Tokyo Station and was thanking a middle-aged man.
"What? After two years of not seeing each other, you don't recognize me anymore?" Hanyu Hideki winked at his younger siblings.
"Which idol is it?" Hanyu Hideki asked.
I thought it was time for him to teach me some tricks to pick up girls. Suddenly, memories surged in my mind, as if I remembered something.
Nowadays, it is normal for neon little girls to like idols.
"Haha, Yui-chan is so sensible. Don't worry, I won't spend money recklessly."
I asked my mother, Yuanzi, what my younger siblings like to eat, and the result was that they liked McDonald's.
But now that he heard the name Yumi Watanabe and the rarity of the surname Hanyu, his guess was probably close to the truth.
"Hey, does your family know about me and Qingzi?"
This unlucky brother, who is embarrassed by his proficiency in picking up girls, seems to have some time to teach him some tricks.
Hanyu Hideki next to him didn't know whether what his sister said was true or not, but seeing his younger brother Hideki's face turn red instantly, he thought that it was probably true.
His younger sister, Yui Hanyu, was just like him, her appearance took after his mother's. She was a pretty and cute little girl, with a pair of big eyes looking up and down at him curiously.
"Thank you for the compliment, Yui-chan. Let's stop chatting at the station and take you to dinner first. I specially ordered delicious Western food."
…
"One time I went to play with Yumi-chan, and I saw Yumi-chan cut out a magazine cover and posted it on the wall beside her bed. The person Yumi-chan liked was on the cover."
His younger brother and sister finally came to Tokyo, so how could they take them to eat fast food? He decisively made a reservation at an Italian restaurant.
Hanyu Hideki and Miyahira Seijiro briefly chatted for a few words, then said goodbye to each other, and then looked at his younger brothers and sisters who had been standing beside him silently and looking a little reserved.
Yui Hanyu had a proud expression on her face that said she knew everything.
"That's not the case at all! Yui doesn't know anything, don't talk nonsense!"
"Thank you Miyahira-san for taking care of Xiuli and Yui along the way."
Hanyu Shuri, who had been silent all this time, felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on when he heard his sister's words, and stood up to refute.
"Is this the car that Onii-chan bought?" Yui Hanyu asked while driving.
Yui Hanyu transformed into a little reporter and told all the secrets of her second brother.
Even if you want to win over partners by sharing benefits, it will only happen after the initial success. Now sharing copyright is a free gift. The premise of exchanging benefits is that there are benefits to exchange.
"That's such an honor."
"I know everything. The girl Shuri-kun likes is called Yumi Watabe. She is a neighbor who just moved from Akita. When Yumi-chan moved here on the first day, Shuri-kun was peeking at her."
"Yumi Watanabe? Yumi Watanabe... Yumi Hanyu! No way!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Hanyu Hideki asked his question, his sister Hanyu Yui turned her attention to him.
"We have all seen from the news that Onii-chan's girlfriend is a movie star. Marrying a movie star will cost a lot of money. Onii-chan still needs to save some money."
"Is it getting better or worse?" Hanyu Hideki asked, touching his sister's head.
When Hideki Hanyu saw his sister finish speaking, his brother next to him turned even redder.
"Of course it's gotten better. Onii-chan is so handsome now, much more handsome than Shuri-kun!"
"Who Yumi-chan likes, please tell me Yui-chan."
Seijiro Miyahira is his father's classmate and runs a law firm in Tokyo. This time he returned to Tokyo to work, and he happened to bring his younger brother Shuri Hanyu and younger sister Yui Hanyu with him.
"Onii-chan, I also know that Yumi-chan actually has someone she likes, and it's not Shuri-kun at all."
Hanyu Hideki greeted the two of them out of the train station, got in his car, and drove towards the reserved restaurant.
Ten-year-old Yui Hanyu gave instructions as cutely as a little adult.
He created "Pokémon" in advance to seize IP, not to create benefits for others.
As soon as my sister said this, Hanyu Shuri next to her became visibly nervous.
He looked at his younger brother with some surprise, wondering if this was Yuzu-kun's father, and then he couldn't be Hanyu Yuzuru's uncle.
"You're welcome. I remember that Hideki-kun used to call me uncle. I don't even recognize him after not seeing him for a few years. The editorial article I wrote before was highly praised by the female lawyers under me."
Hideki Hanyu was a little curious, but he had not forgotten that his parents had never had a good impression of the entertainment industry.
Even if "Pokémon" doesn't reach the level of success in his hands, it's still better than giving all the profits to others after it becomes popular.
"Are you unhappy, Xiuri-kun?"
Seeing his younger brother's nervous look, wanting to know but not daring to speak, Hanyu Hideki asked for help.
When Yui Hanyu praised her eldest brother, she also stabbed her second brother Shuri Hanyu in the heart.
Western fast food is equal to Western food, and Western food is equal to Italian food. There's nothing wrong with it. Please call Hideki Hanyu, a conversion expert.
Next to him, Shuri Hanyu also breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how much ordinary girls like idols, they are destined to just like them and there will be no possibility of development.
My younger sister, Yui Hanyu, was much more cheerful. After hesitating for a moment, she ran over and hugged Hideki Hanyu's arm, shook her and said, "Onii-chan has changed so much, I almost don't recognize her anymore."
"Did Mom and Dad say anything?"
Miyahira Seijiro's attitude towards Hanyu Hideki was very friendly.
Therefore, even though the last name is the same, he has never been linked to the other person.
In my mind, a name popped up in the news of later generations.
As a profession, female lawyers are the backbone of the feminist camp. It is not surprising that Hideki Hanyu likes those kinds of feminist editorial articles.
He had heard Yuzuru Hanyu's name in his previous life, but like most people, he just watched the fun and only knew that he had a mother named Yuzuru Hanyu, and did not know any information about his other relatives.
"I know, I know. Xiuli-kun wanted to invite a girl to join him before he came, but he was rejected. He must have been heartbroken!"
Yui Hanyu tried to remember for a moment and then said, "I didn't say anything, at least not in front of me."
Not long after chatting in the car, the restaurant he reserved arrived. After parking the car, he took his younger brother and sister into the restaurant. While waiting for the food, he looked at his younger brother, Hideki Hanyu.
"Of course I know. It was reported in the news for several days at that time." Hanyu Yui said seriously.
The other person has not said a word since leaving the station, looking like I am unhappy and don't know what's wrong.
The appearance of the younger brother Hanyu Shuri completely takes after his father. He is just twelve years old and has the old-fashioned temperament of a young adult. I don't know if it is due to his temperament or a bad mood. His small face is sullen.
And after knowing that Yuzuru Hanyu might be his eldest nephew, how could Hideki Hanyu dare to teach random tricks on how to pick up girls? He should just let nature take its course and save Yuzu-kun from being swatted away by his butterfly wings.
This is the copyright rule of Neon. People have been playing it for so many years, even Akira Toriyama, who later created "Dragon Ball", is no exception.
"When mom came, she asked me to tell Onii-chan that even if you make money, you can't spend it randomly. You should keep it for marriage and a wife."
"yes."
Hanyu Hideki didn't say anything, and his sister Yui-chan next to him said to him as if she was offering a treasure again.
On the contrary, after Shogakukan licenses radio dramas, TV animations, theater versions, live-action versions, and even game adaptations, he has no copyright at all, and he does not even have any rights to participate in the production.
When the two heard this, their younger brother, Hideori Hanyu, seemed a little nervous and opened his mouth to call out "brother" in a stammering voice.
If he remembered correctly, Yuzuru Hanyu, the amazingly talented neon men's figure skater in later generations, who was called Yuzu by his fans, had his mother's name Yumi Hanyu.
Thinking of this, he asked his sister, "Yui-chan, can you tell me who the girl Shuri-kun likes is?"
"The person on the cover is not an idol, but Hideki Onii-chan."
"What!" This answer shocked Hideki Hanyu and his jaw almost dropped.
Next to him, Hanyu Hidetoshi's expression immediately changed from relaxed to resentful, and she stared straight at her eldest brother.
That way, it seems as if the girl you love is about to be snatched away by your elder brother.
