Chapter 299: Look Down From the King of Comics (First Update!)

The battle for the equity of Li’s TV Station is not that simple.

Not to mention Li's call, Qiu Degen and Huang Xizhao also didn't dare to delay it any longer.

Otherwise, after Li's TV station is completely ruined, Qiu Degen will get Li's TV station, which can be regarded as more gain than loss.

But at this time, Yin Jun did not intervene. Qiu Degen did not need Yin Jun to teach him how to do things. If he had to be involved in everything, where would you put Qiu Degen, a wealthy generation who started his own business?

What's more, Yin Jun still has things to be busy with.

After coming out of Aunt Zhang's house, Yin Jun took the gifts he bought from the United States and went all the way to the animation studio.

First, I gave some small gifts to the screenwriters and artists. They were not worth a lot of money, but they were all new gadgets that were not available here in Xiangjiang.

The screenwriters in Xiangjiang were all very satisfied, not to mention the elites from the Mainland. They all kept it like a treasure and prepared to take it to their families when they returned to the Mainland.

Yes.

Except for the 13 animators who have gone to Japan's Toei Animation to study comic production, the rest of the elites of Shanghai Art Film Studio can get two or three days of vacation at home in rotation.

Usually there are five people in a group, and they go back two or three days a month, but the number of rest days is correspondingly reduced. Basically, they can only rest one day a week.

That's right.

In Yin Jun's company, weekends are strictly enforced.

Although Le Yiling is not very satisfied, she will never question every decision made by Yin Jun. Le Yiling will only speak when it has a major relationship with the development of the company. Otherwise, she is just a manager most of the time. Rather than trying to be a decision-maker.

Qilin Culture Co., Ltd. can only have one decision-maker.

Yin Jun's intention was to let them bring back various antique calligraphy and paintings that Wei Xiaofan bought for him, but this kind of treatment suddenly made these art nerds and otakus feel that they had a head start in life - they could work outside and return home in half a year. After a few days of rest at home, you can also bring a lot of good things from Xiangjiang to the elderly and children at home. This is a place that makes countless relatives and friends jealous! It’s also a place that makes me proud!

As a result, this group of people became more motivated.

Although the first batch of five people will not go back until July, everyone has been motivated and works more than 12 hours a day without being urged by Le Yiling.

Under their guidance, the screenwriters here in Xiangjiang were too embarrassed to leave work too early, and they also increased their working hours.

This was one of the reasons why Le Yiling didn't object to Yin Jun's two days off.

Thanks to their efforts, all eight comics have made considerable progress.

Including "The Hilarious Life in the Tropical Rainforest" that Yin Jun came up with the latest, the drawings have been produced for three issues of serialization.

Yin Jun took a look and found that overall it was pretty good. It was a little more refined than the original version. The essence of Mr. Abu, such as the dead fish eyes when he was angry, was actually retained.

In fact, the overall style of these eight comics is very similar to what Yin Jun expected.

Including "Inuyasha" with the most gorgeous painting style, which makes people deeply immersed in the gorgeous painting style.

This also shows that the artists in the mainland have not been affected much by the turmoil of the past few years. The quality of their paintings and the beauty of their imagination can keep up with the times.

Even if there are some parts that don't quite meet the requirements, the screenwriters here in Xiangjiang will discuss it with them and move forward with everyone seeking coexistence.

Speaking of which, whether it is screenwriters or artists, of course they are not drawing or writing scripts anytime and anywhere. They can read comic books and watch anime anytime and anywhere.

When you feel tired during working hours, you can always go to eat or go out for a walk.

For this group of artists, Yin Jun demands the best quality, rather than letting them work anytime and anywhere. There is no point in spending time at work.

But Yin Jun's treatment of them is absolutely top-notch.

Whether it is salary or living benefits, it is impossible to have similar benefits in any company.

Even the editors in Xiangjiang are trying their best to come up with ideas so that they can stay in the company. You can imagine how good the salary and bonus packages here are.

Due to such a relaxed and positive working environment, the final drafts of 8 comic books have been released one after another. The most written "Conan" has more than 20 issues in the archives.

no way.

Huang Ying's favorite was this kind of detective thriller and ghost theme. He wrote 13 stories in one go, more than double the 5 stories written by his assistant. The remaining two stories were written by the artists. Considered.

The main content of the first issue has now been laid out. Including "Chibi Maruko-chan" by Zeng Huaqian, 9 comics are released together. Even people like Ding Linxiang, who can't sit still, praised it greatly after reading it. They felt that if they got a copy Ben was lying on the sofa watching it, which was a real pleasure.

Once the content is ready, all that’s left is to find advertising and printing.

It may not be easy to find advertisements. It was this kind of job that Le Yiling and Ding Linxiang had recently.

They are not running second- or third-rate brands.

Yin Jun told Le Yiling that he estimated that the comic weekly could reach 5 million copies in half a year, and the sales range would be Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan and Southeast Asian countries, so Le Yiling followed the rules from the beginning. Let’s talk about this standard.

But so far, except for a few first-class brands that have cooperated with Yin Jun in TV series, others are laughing at Yin Jun for overestimating his abilities.

During this period of time, Yin Jun is not in Xiangjiang, but his work on the comic weekly has been spread through these brands.

Everyone actually means the same thing.

As long as you are a screenwriter and do your job well, why do you want to go into the comics industry?

If you say your target publication volume is 200,000 copies, then maybe people will believe it.

But you made wild claims that you could sell 5 million copies. Do you think we should reply to you?

The best manga weekly in Japan only has two to three million copies. Can your manga weekly, created by a newcomer, be as good as their two best-selling manga weeklys?

Are you making an international joke?

Then the person who jumped out was Huang Yulang, the godfather of the comics industry.

Huang Yulang is very arrogant and unscrupulous by nature. It will not be until he goes to jail for making false accounts and comes out that he can wash away his bad reputation and start again calmly.

But now he has not encountered any problems. His "Dragon and Tiger Gate" has sold more than 90,000 copies in Xiangjiang, definitely ranking first, making him a lot of money.

But suddenly a person came out who had never been in the comics industry, and he actually said wildly that the weekly magazine would publish 5 million copies, so Huang Yulang had to talk about it properly.

"I am not a pioneer in the comics industry, but I am definitely a senior, a relatively successful senior. I believe this, and my old rival and friend Mr. Shanggui Xiaobao will not deny it. From an issue of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" More than 11,000 copies have been made. The two of us have been fighting for 8 years. Now my comics are close to 100,000 copies, and Shanggui Xiaobao's "Li Xiaolong" is 70,000 copies. Together, the two of us occupy 90% of the comics market in Hong Kong. This is also an undeniable fact.

Xiangjiang is a small place with a population of less than 5 million, so our sales volume of about 200,000 copies is already a limit. Even if the market of Omen is included, it will not exceed 250,000 copies. I dream of winning the Baodao market, so that my "Dragon and Tiger Gate" can sell 400,000 copies, and then I can be considered completely successful.

But unexpectedly, I suddenly heard a joke today. A 17-year-old young man named Yin Jun actually announced that he was working on a weekly comic book, like the three major comic weekly magazines in Japan. His pre-issue volume was 5 million copies. Gee, what is this concept? Everyone in Xiangjiang will still have something left after reading one copy. Of course, the market they want to conquer is not a small place like Xiangjiang, but the vast markets in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.

I laughed out loud when I heard this. If the person who said this either has no understanding of the comics industry, he or she is an arrogant idiot! Please forgive me for saying this, but a person from Xiangjiang said that he could make a comic weekly and then make a fortune by relying on the Japanese and Korean markets. This is obviously what he said without waking up, right?

Comics are regional and have their own regional characteristics. For example, people in Hong Kong don’t like Japan’s “Astro Boy” very much; my work “Dragon and Tiger Gate”, which Hong Kong people like the most, is not very understandable by Koreans. Those American cartoons of muscular men with big and thick muscles are also not liked by Asians.

Wanting to conquer the whole world with a comic is definitely a fantasy and impossible to realize! Otherwise, Japan's comic weekly magazines are already so powerful, why haven't they conquered the Hong Kong market yet? Why is it that the market in Xiangjiang is still dominated by local cartoonists like us?

So, Mr. Yin Jun, please go back and write your script seriously! I've seen all the movies and TV series you wrote and made into them. They are very interesting and interesting. But comics and script writing are two different concepts. In order to prevent your lifelong fame from being ruined, you'd better not come in. Otherwise, when you lose all your money, you will know what it means to regret it! "

Although Huang Yulang criticized Yin Jun throughout the article, he did not dare to say too harsh words.

Yin Jun is not an ordinary person. This young man's status in the entertainment industry is much higher than that of a cartoonist like Huang Yulang.

Even Yin Jun has more fans than Huang Yulang.

Especially young people, the word "Junshao" appears most often in their mouths.

And coincidentally, Huang Yulang’s comics are bought most by young people aged 16-25.

If you offend them, not only the comics will not be sold, but at least one-third of the sales will be lost, which is something Huang Yulang cannot bear.

So while he criticized Yin Jun, he also told Yin Jun in a very high manner not to touch the field that is not yours.

In fact, that is to say.

Comics are where we eat.

What are you here to grab?
