Chapter 362: There Are Also Talented Comic Writers in China

"Brother Jian, how is Yunman's situation?"

"It's not very good."

"Why, didn't I hear that the future is very promising?"

"It's mainly because several comic studios and comic magazines that we collaborated with before have withdrawn the copyright, so we don't cooperate anymore?"

"why?"

"The reason is unknown, and it is still under investigation. You have to ask Xu Liang for details."

"Call Xu Liang."

Yunman is an important layout of pear mp3 in Japan.

If Yunman can't push it out, the pear mp3 will also be greatly affected.

"Mr. Chen."

Soon, Xu Liang's phone got through.

Xu Liang was in Japan at this time, and Xu Liang had already guessed Chen Yu's phone call: "Mr. Chen, according to our latest survey results, the reason why several major Japanese studios and comic magazines have taken back the copyright is that they are worried about our electronic The manga VIP charging model will affect their paper manga sales.”

The manga industry in Japan is a large-scale industry.

The annual sales of Japanese paper comics are also terrifying.

However, the emergence of Yunman has launched a new way of reading and buying comics.

Before everyone read comics through offline paper purchases, but now there is a new option.

They can pay online and read online.

It's the same as paying to watch the web online.

However, the Japanese people like comics, not to mention.

"So, Yunman's VIP charging model has been recognized by the Japanese people?"

"Many people in Japan say that electronic VIP payment is more convenient and easier to follow. On the contrary, it takes a long time to buy paper books offline."

"This looks like good news.

"

Chen Yu smiled happily.

At the same time, Chen Yu also thought that in the previous life in 2017, the sales of electronic comics in Japan had already surpassed paper comics.

At that time, the sales of electronic comics in Japan in 2017 were 171.1 billion yen, while the paper comics were 166.6 billion yen.

However, although the model is correct, it has encountered difficulties for the current Yunman.

"Xu Liang, how is Yun Man's situation now?"

"Because major studios and comic magazines have withdrawn a lot of copyrights, our Yunman's traffic has plummeted. We can only cooperate with some small comic studios, but these small comic studios are not well-known, and their works are also Not having much popularity, and the quality is not comparable to all kinds of classic comics, our VIP membership fees are also rapidly declining..."

"It's a hassle."

The pattern, while correct, is useless without the classic comics.

Just like Qidian Chinese.com's vip payment model is good, but if there is no classic network, users will not buy it. It's not that the reader is stingy, it's that your product is not good enough.

"Can you bring in manga authors like Masashi Kishimoto?"

Masashi Kishimoto is the author of Naruto in Japan.

Chen Yu meant that he was dug into Yunman with a lot of money.

But Xu Liang shook his head: "It's basically impossible."

"The most important thing for a well-known manga author like Kishimoto is the offline market, and he has already signed contracts with major companies, and the entire animation industry in Japan is very mature. We are only recruits in the Japanese manga market, even if the high price is poaching him, he It won't come to us either."

It's not about money.

Like these well-known cartoonists, money is no longer a concern.

What they want to see is that their comics will sell well all over the world.

And this, only Japan's local comic industry companies can do.

"Is there no solution?"

"There is, but there is, but it is not particularly obvious for the time being."

Xu Liang said: "We have opened a backstage for original comics. In addition to signing contracts with some comic studios, ordinary comic authors can also upload their own comic works. However, most of the comic works have been performing well recently, and they have not caused any problems. There is too much attention from the public, and no violent money-level works have appeared.”

Japan has a mature comic industry, and powerful comic authors have long been successful offline.

And there is no strength, even if the work is put on the Internet, not many people see it.

This is not the same as the network on the domestic side.

The Internet is an emerging literary genre, and he has never appeared offline.

As soon as the online platform appeared, powerful domestic authors emerged instantly.

Just like the current starting point, in addition to super gods like [The World's No. 1 White], recently there have also appeared successively such powerful authors as Tang Family Sashao, I Eat Tomatoes Persimmon, Blood Rainbow... .

"However, Mr. Chen, you can rest assured. Although there are no violent works in the original comics for the time being, it has attracted the interest of many Japanese comics writers. Most of the paintings in it may be average, but there are always some that perform well. I expect that a year from now, our original comics will have the first effect."

It's just that although Xu Liang said so, Chen Yu shook his head.

He naturally knew that Liang Xu was right.

But Chen Yu, who knew more about this model, knew that it would take time.

As Xu Liang said, after a year...if a year later, then their pear mp3s will be on the street.

But Chen Yu also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed.

Content building takes time.

Even if the starting point dominated the entire online literature in the previous life, it took several years.

In the end, only a group of writers of geniuses from the sky started to sway freely at the starting point, creating a new world.

"Okay, Xu Liang, you have worked hard in Japan, keep working hard."

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, I promise you, if Yun Man doesn't do it, I won't go back to China."

"If you don't go back to China, it seems that you will be overjoyed to stay in Japan."

"Mr. Chen, didn't I mean that?"

"Just kidding, don't explain, just explain..."

Hanging up the phone, Chen Yu thought about the lock alone.

He has some headaches.

From this point of view, Yunman in Japan has not done it so quickly for the time being.

This has a great impact on the pear mp3.

Of course, if it was just pear mp3, Chen Yu would not have such a headache.

Pear mp3 can sell the best in Japan, even if it can't sell, there is also a domestic market.

He does not have to occupy the Japanese market.

Mp3 can't handle Japan, and there will be smart phones in the future.

However, Yunman and Lizi mp3 are an important layout of Chen Yu's electronic payment in Japan.

Gotta figure out a way.

For several days in a row, Chen Yu didn't think of anything to do.

Even Chen Yu called and chatted with several editor-in-chief of Qidian. They also felt that the content could only be built on time.

After all, it's impossible for a genius comic writer to appear all at once.

If you want violent content, it is impossible to accumulate without time.

...

"Da Bai, Da Bai, are you here?"

"Dabai is big, Dabai is big, it's not big."

"Dabai..."

Didi, there are dozens of messages in YY information.

Chen Yu opened it and saw that it was posted by an enthusiastic reader "Zuo Yanchen".

Speaking of this reader, it is quite interesting.

The reader named "Zuo Yanchen" said that he was a super fan of Chen Yu. He not only liked what Chen Yu wrote, but also drew cartoons for the Internet written by Chen Yu. It turned out that Chen Yu felt that what "Zuo Yanchen" said was false, and as a result, the first drawing was actually passed down on YY.

"I'll go, you won't be studying comics, will you?"

"That's right, I just studied comics."

"Amazing, awesome, I didn't expect that there are so many geniuses among my readers."

"How is it, how is the painting?"

"not bad."

"Thank you, thank you Dabai for your compliment, then I'm going to keep serializing it for you? However, Dabai, I'm just a poor student, and I don't have the money to buy your comics copyright."

"It's okay, it can't be published anyway, you can serialize it, no money."

In 2003, there was basically no market for domestic comics.

There is also a Japanese manga market.

Of course, this has gradually changed since 2010.

Since this super die-hard fan loves to draw so much, let him draw.

"Thank you so much, Dabai."

"You're welcome, I have to thank you. You are adding to my popularity by serializing it for me."

"It's okay, it's okay, as your fan, I'd love to see it."

After "Zuo Yanchen" finished speaking, he was very excited and sent a message to the "Number One White in the World" reader group.

"Everyone, today I uploaded the comic of "Fantasy Reality of the Legendary World" in the circle. This is the first painting, and I will update one painting a week in the future. This is a connection, asking for flowers..."

Zuo Yanchen posted a link in the group, and soon, a group of book friends entered the circle one after another.

"I rely on, talent."

"This painting is very powerful."

"Yes, yes, I thought that there were no comics in China, but I didn't expect domestic comics authors to draw so well."

"If you want me to say, it's not worse than the Japanese manga author."

"Yes, much better than them."

"There's more, there's more, please update..."

Chen Yu also joined in the fun. After reading the comments of many readers, he praised "Zuo Yanchen" from time to time.

However, just when Chen Yu was about to close the circle, Chen Yu suddenly thought of something: "What if the comics that Zuo Yanchen drew for him were serialized on the Yunman platform...?"
