Chapter 194 New Comic Book
Arranging Thor back to the room he lived in before, Li Jie went back to the office again to check the company's current comic release status.
The MARVEL magazine, which began to be published in January, is issued as a weekly magazine, and so far it has been issued to the fourth issue without counting the supplement.
Because it was a gimmick of real heroes and real stories from the very beginning, it attracted many people to buy from the very beginning.
And after that, the night watchman team has been very active recently, whether it was collecting those silverware before or preventing mutants from getting out of control.
There will always be one or two of Li Jie and his teammates on the scene, and there will be Spider-Man's fight with the Electro in Times Square, and Li Jie's fight with the mutant Green Goblin in the orphanage.
Both continue to bring more gimmicks and hype topics to the magazine. This has also allowed the company's comic sales to continue to rise.
At least for now, the sales of the entire comics are increasing in a beautiful way, and it seems that the market is far from saturated.
Previously popular comics on the market were dominated by high-end superheroes like "Hyperon". This kind of hero is too perfect.
Perfect like the gods in the legend, no, Li Jie has seen two gods, and it can be said that none of the gods he has seen can compare to "Hyperon".
Hyperion in the comics is perfect, a model of morality, willing to sacrifice himself to save others, and you can find all the advantages that humans can think of in him.
But because it is too perfect, this kind of superhero comics naturally have a sense of estrangement from the audience.
Although everyone admires Hyperion in the comics, no one really wants Hyperion to appear in the real world.
Li Jie persuaded everyone to set up the MARVEL company. Part of the comic stories created by the company came from their own adventures, and the other part came from some Marvel movies Li Jie had seen in his previous life, and the settings of some online novels.
Then I added the final script formed after the screenwriter's discussion, and started to create comics based on the script.
However, in order to ensure that those masked heroes will not be disturbed, after all, those who do not want to reveal their true identities do not expect their other identities to affect their original lives.
Therefore, the comics created by the company have modified the origin of the heroes. For example, the source of Spider-Man's ability has been modified from the ability obtained after being bitten by a mutant spider.
He changed into a teenager named Miles. On the way home, he ran into a magician from another world. Because he gave the dying magician a bottle of water, he won the magician's favor.
The mage then gave Miles a ring that allowed him to summon the powers of a spider before becoming Spider-Man.
The origins of Tiequan and Baihu have also been revised, describing Tiequan and Baihu as brothers and sisters who originally practiced together.
As for the origin of Daredevil, it has also been changed into a mess. Lawyer Ma, who was originally alive and well, was rewritten as a living dead under Li Jie's suggestion.
Originally, he had already died on the earth and lived on the edge of hell. Later, he was favored by the judge of hell and asked him to return to the world to judge the guilty instead of hell.
Anyway, the origins of all the heroes have been changed into a mess, but the readers like it very much.
Because all the heroes in the comics have their own shortcomings, such as the talkative Spider-Man, such as the Daredevil who firmly believes that justice needs to be maintained with iron blood, and so on.
Of course, there is also the story of the Nightcrawler on the cover of the first issue, which is also very popular with the public.
Because the vampire incident was uncovered by the government, the fact that Nightcrawler fought on the viaduct that day was a vampire can also be made public.
Now the company is taking the vampire incident as the main line, and begins to describe the big event story with the nightcrawler as the main perspective.
Because the vampire incident is now one of the hot topics of discussion in the United States, although the current heat is not as good as when it was just exposed by the government.
But it still attracted a lot of readers, especially the story about Nightcrawler and Spider-Man rescuing a group of people kidnapped by vampires, and the eve of the Battle of the Viaduct.
At present, among all the publications issued by the company, the personal comic publications of Nightcrawler and Spiderman are the best-selling.
The second is the main publication of the Night Watchman team, followed by the publications of Iron Fist White Tiger Punisher, Daredevil, Luke Cage and others. The comic publications of the latter few people can only be said to be tepid.
Li Jie also really wants to bring another hero who is now on fire, that is, Iron Man Tony Stark, into the comics.
But it seems that Tony is very good at protecting his image and copyright awareness. At least for the time being, Li Jie hasn't talked to him. Li Jie regrets it a bit. He should have added Tony's comic copyright to the last negotiation with Pepper , Let Harry directly exchange this as a condition.
But even without the support of Tony's Iron Man, the sales of the entire comic book are now on the right track. In addition to New York, Buffalo, Atlantic City, and Philadelphia have begun to sell MARVEL's comic book.
A large number of published comics also brought Li Jie considerable reputation, although the reputation that each comic can bring is negligible, and it is completely inferior to the reputation he can get from doing a relatively famous heroic deed.
But the most important thing is that there are a lot of things like comics! And this is a long-term thing. In the future, as long as the image of comic characters is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Then you can shoot related animations and movies. At that time, the cartoon image of the global export company will bring huge and long-term prestige income to Li Jie.
However, this route seems to take a long time, at least several years, or even ten years of accumulation to get to that point.
But even so, Li Jie now has the reputation brought by his battle with the mutant green goblin in the orphanage, and overthrowing a mutant giant with Iron Man in Philadelphia, plus more than a month of comics.
Now Li Jie's overall reputation has accumulated to about 50,000 points. Li Jie now has 50,000 reputation points and 1,000 special points, which can be exchanged for a chance to watch "The Illustrated Book of God of War".
But the most painful thing for Li Jie now is that he has not started formal study of metaphysical knowledge.
There is no way, Li Jie can't understand the "New Explanation of the Book of Changes" and "Sixty Questions on the Eight Diagrams" published by the People's Textbook Publishing House that Li Jie bought, and secondly, he thinks that everything written in it is deceptive.
And he also showed these books to Master Lan, she said disdainfully. "It's all a trick of charlatans."
Well, Li Jie admitted it. Lan, who was born in Kamateki, must be more authoritative in metaphysics than those "experts" who sit at home and write these unreliable books.
Li Jie originally wanted to go to Kamateki to find a few books on metaphysics to learn. It just so happened that Master Lan is also in New York now, and there happened to be a teacher who could ask him for advice.
But Wang, who manages the Kamateki library, said. "Without the mage's approval note, all books are not allowed to be borrowed."
Even the dharma ring given by Gu Yi was not acceptable after birth. It is said that something happened to the original library, so since then, without Gu Yi's consent, all important books cannot be brought out.
However, with 50,000 reputation points, it's time to upgrade your abilities. As Thor said before, Li Jie's Purple Thunder Nine Strikes are quite powerful.
How bad is the Purple Thunder Nine Strikes that can make Thor mistakenly think it is the power of Odin's thunder.
And purely speaking of destructive power, it is indeed the greatest of all Li Jie's kung fu.
The first spring thunder detonation has already shocked Li Jie a lot, now that he has enough reputation, Li Jie is ready to exchange for the next purple thunder nine strikes.
Just when Li Jie was about to redeem the second form of Zi Lei's Nine Strikes, someone knocked on the office door. Li Jie could only stop first.
"Please come in." It was Ivy who opened the door of Li Jie's office.
As a specially hired painter, because Ivy is still in school and cannot work full-time, he can only paint in the company after school, or take the task home to complete.
As a female painter, Ivy's painting style is more delicate, and it is also widely welcomed by readers.
If it weren't for some special hobbies and paintings, Li Jie would also like this artist very much. After all, good painters are hard to find, and each one is an important resource for the company.
Ivy walked into the office slowly with a folder.
"What's the matter, Ivy?" Li Jie looked at the girl in front of him, and then looked at the folder in her hand, as if he wanted to show him a drawing.
"I have a manuscript I want to show you Jason. This is just a sketch. I will be very happy if the company can publish it. Of course, it's okay if it can't be published. I know the company will also be under pressure." Ivy said and put the folder Handed it to Li Jie.
Well, this female artist had better not make any trouble. Li Jie took the folder and began to browse the album.
