Chapter 600: Situation
In any case, these two people and Chu Yu had a close relationship with him in his third year of high school.
Although after going to college, the contact between the three of them gradually decreased, but Zhao Qinyin and Su Wei immediately understood it in their hearts when they saw Chu Yu's expression.
I'm afraid this guy really ran over without thinking about any elaborate plan.
But on the other hand, the two of them can also feel the confidence of Chu Yu's behavior, as long as they can conceive a good work, it doesn't matter what they plan or not.
"That......... Let's go first!" Su Wei sighed, too lazy to complain about Chu Yu.
"Where are you going?"
"Find a place to stay! You don't have a place to stay here, I'll take you to a hotel tonight to stay first! Then I'll explain to you the situation on this side!"
"Oh, that's trouble!" Chu Yu said after thinking about it.
"If you want to use the hotel, just choose a place near the dormitory building where you live, if you have anything you don't know, you can ask for advice, then it will be easy to find you, you know the situation, please ask me to find a hotel with better security and better service!" Chu Yu and these two people were not polite, after all, they were so familiar.
"Understand, knowing that you are a local tyrant, I won't help you save it!" Su Wei said.
Then picked up Chu Yu's suitcase, the three of them quickly got into the car, and after more than an hour's drive, they came to their destination.
From the perspective of historical process, although this world is different from the parallel world in many places, in fact, many places are the same.
At least in this world, a small island like the island of Japan is still so prosperous, and the entire Tokyo metropolitan area is also like a parallel world, with a population of nearly 40 million, including about a quarter of the population of the entire Japanese island.
Population density, population competition pressure is no less than the parallel world, but under the impact of the dragon culture, at least the status of women in the Japanese island of this world has improved a lot, not like the island of Japan in the parallel world, women become a full-time wife after marriage, and are subject to various discrimination in the workplace, whether it is promotion or salary, there are all kinds of malice brought by social customs.
Otherwise, Zhao Qinyin and Su Wei would not have been able to work here.
But on the other hand, the better thing about the Dragon Kingdom plane than the parallel world is that the entertainment industry in this world is relatively backward.
Although science and technology have developed all the way, the entertainment industry is far less exciting than the parallel world, which is also the foundation for the comic industry to be in the golden age of the Dragon Kingdom and even the world after the new century. Netizens, teenagers look around, there are too few entertainment products to pass the time....... Moreover, the proportion of teenagers in the population is obviously much higher, otherwise it would be difficult for Chu Yu to accumulate such a big popularity in just four years in the magic capital.
The time was approaching evening, after everything was settled, Chu Yu and the two beauties were tired after a busy day, Chu Yu came from afar to Zhao Qinyin to entertain her, but Chu Yu, who didn't want her to break the bank, strongly asked to solve the problem of lunch for the three of them in a nearby ramen restaurant.
"I said Chu Yu, you can't do this, you don't even have a comic manuscript, how can you submit it!" Su Wei ate a piece of barbecued pork and began to talk about business.
"I know........." Chu Yu drank a glass of water and said!
"Boss, another bowl!"
I have to say that the number of stores here is really small, this amount is like eating instant noodles in the Dragon Kingdom, one pack is too little, and two packs are slightly more!
"But I'm not completely out of ideas, I'll sort out some scattered thoughts in my mind tonight, and in a day or two, I'll be able to give you a very clear answer!"
"But can you tell me what the situation is like in the comics world here?"
"You log in to the search engine here to search for this kind of thing, it's very troublesome to say the same!" Su Yu glanced at Chu Yu and said by the way.
"Boss, three glasses of wine!"
Soon, three glasses of wine were handed to the three of them, and Su Wei also picked up the wine glass, sipping his red lips lightly, closing his eyes, and looking very enjoyable.
"What do you say about the situation in the comic industry here, unlike the Dragon Country, where the seven comic clubs in the magic capital are famous all over the country, and other small and medium-sized comic clubs are resisting the impact of the comic periodicals of the seven major companies in their respective territories! The comic industry on the Japanese island today is mainly composed of two large comic companies......... Under the two large comic companies, Jiniao and KC, there are more than a dozen medium-sized comic companies and a large number of small comic companies........ But the words of competition........... That's going to be intense!" Su Wei said.
"Like the HG comic company where I work with Zhao Qinyin now, it is one of the dozen or so medium-sized comic companies!"
"HG Comics, I'm a little impressed, I've heard you talk about it before! I remember that Zhao Qinyin is serializing a work in this company, right!" Chu Yu raised his head and looked at Zhao Qinyin, who was not speaking next to him.
"Ahh......h That's right!" Zhao Qinyin said with some restraint.
"But......... That work is coming to an end soon!"
"It's over, why?" asked Chu Yu.
"It's not very popular......... By......... The .......... who was asked to finish by the comic club" Zhao Qinyin's face was a little red.
Although she is a girl and has a good relationship with Chu Yu, Chu Yu next to her is an existence that even large companies with assets of tens of billions of dollars feel strongly threatened to suppress, and herself, serializing works in a medium-sized comic club, was actually cut in half......... This gap made her a little embarrassed.
"Don't be frustrated.,When I was serialized in the prequel of jojo,Wasn't it rejected twice by the Xuangui Comic Society.,When the running machine comic club was serialized,,It was sprayed by fans for half a year.,This work is your debut work on the island of Japan,It's already great to be serialized for more than two years!The next work,You'll definitely be on fire.,Come on........" Chu Yu and Gu Yan have lived for so long, and they haven't learned anything else, so they learned how to talk to girls.
If you want him before, you will definitely only come to one sentence, if the popularity is low, then cut it in half, the fans of the province are painful to see, and it is painful to draw it yourself, and now, it will comfort people a little......... But only for friends!
Zhao Qinyin next to him listened to Chu Yu's words, his eyes looked at Chu Yu motionlessly, and Chu Yu was uncomfortable.
Could it be that she said the wrong thing again, or did she feel embarrassed by forcibly comforting the other party?
It's not good, thinking about it like this, Chu Yu also felt a little embarrassed!
"Come on, let's come on!" Zhao Qinyin came back to his senses, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
"I said that you have changed too much!" Su Wei next to him looked at Chu Yu and suddenly spoke.
"I thought you would say that being cut in half is the choice of the market, and that stepping into the comics industry is a ruthless remark that you have to endure this kind of outcome............ Come on, I'm in a circle, is this what you would say?" Su Wei next to him was very direct.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to talk?"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Two female voices, one on the left and one on the right, sounded, and Chu Yu was speechless for a while...........
"But......... You will occasionally be more handsome!" Zhao Qinyin on the right said quickly in a low voice, but Chu Yu didn't hear it very clearly.
"Anyway, the situation is very simple, on the island of Japan, if you can barely meet your requirements, it should be two companies, Extreme Bird and kc! After all, with your coffee position, it is impossible to run a comic company of HG's scale to serialize works!" Su Wei said.
"Although the weekly circulation of Polar Bird and KC in Japan is far less than that of the Celestial Star Comics Agency in the mainland of Ryu, one maintains a circulation of seven million all year round, and the other maintains a circulation of more than six million all year round, and the gap between the seven major comic companies in the magic capital such as Orange Cat and Aoba is not big, but in terms of fierce competition, I am afraid that it is no less than Tianji, the two comic companies of Water Hedgehog, and even surpassing!"
"How can it be so high? seven million and six million........ There are only more than 100 million people on the island of Japan! Is there such a big market?" The parallel world of Japan Island in Chu Yu's impression was at its peak, and it only had a circulation of more than 6 million works such as slam dunk, dragon clan, and full-time hunter!
"Of course, it's not just the sales of local releases!" Su Wei took a sip of wine.
"In the past two years, it's not that the inland side intends to connect the works in the cultural field with this side, although the order for the two sides to introduce works from each other has not been issued, and the companies here have no sales channels in the inland areas, but at least the comic periodicals here can be purchased on the inland network, unlike before, they can't be bought on the Internet!
Now every week, dozens of inland provinces which province must not have tens of thousands of online shopping sales, which has also led to a lot of sales of the main comic periodicals of the two comic companies of Polar Bird and KC, that is, online shopping, the value of the shipping cost across the sea is much higher than the value of the journal itself, so that is, the economically wealthy inland second apes have the strength to chase the comic periodicals of the Japanese island!"
"And unlike the inland comic companies, such as Polar Bird and KC, they have some sales channels in some small countries in Europe, America and Asia, and overseas periodicals also sell four or five million copies a week......... In terms of strength, compared with the Seven Great Demon Capitals, I am afraid that it is worse than Tianji and Water Hedgehog, but on the contrary, the comic works of these two companies are much more well-known in the markets of other countries other than the Dragon Kingdom!" Su Wei said a lot in one breath.
"So, what do you think?" she looked at Chu Yu.
"It feels a little unexpectedly strong, the strength of the comic company here!" Chu Yu thought for a while and said.
"Of course, after all, it is recognized that the origin of Dragon Kingdom comics is here, if it weren't for the lack of sales channels and works that can't be introduced, the inland comic market may account for at least half of it!" Su Wei said.
"But your problem, that's it, now the two companies of Pole Bird and KC, in the inland online shopping sales tasted the sweetness, busy opening the inland market, you ran over to submit, people may not be willing to accept! After all, there is a real opportunity to introduce the past, it must be that the creators who ask the company to cooperate are normal people!" Su Wei said.
