"Brother Jian, how is the situation in Yunman?"

"It's not very good. ”

"Why, didn't I hear that there was a lot of prospect some time ago?"

"Mainly because several comic studios and comic magazines that we cooperated with before have withdrawn their copyrights and stopped cooperating?"

"Why?"

"The reason is unknown, it is still under investigation, and I have to ask Xu Liang specifically. ”

"Call Xu Liang. ”

Yunman is an important layout of Pear MP3 in Japan.

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

"Mr. Chen. ”

Soon, Xu Liang's phone call went through.

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 Chen, according to our latest survey results, the reason why several major studios and comic magazines in Japan have withdrawn their copyrights is that they are worried that our electronic comic VIP charging model will affect their paper comic sales."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

The manga industry in Japan is a very large industry.

The annual sales of paper manga in Japan are also terrifying.

However, the emergence of Yunman is the introduction of a new way to read and buy comics.

Previously, 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 Internet online.

However, the Japanese people love manga and don't like it even more.

"In this way, Yunman's VIP fee model has been recognized by the Japanese people?"

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

"That looks like good news. ”

Chen Yu smiled with satisfaction.

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

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

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

"Xu Liang, what's the situation in Yunman now?"

"Because major studios and comic magazines have recovered a lot of copyrights, our Yunman's traffic has plummeted. We can only work with a few small comic studios, but these small comic studios are not well-known, their works are not very popular, and the quality is not as good as all kinds of classic comics, and our VIP membership fees are also declining rapidly......"

"It's a nuisance. ”

The mode, while correct, is useless without classic comics.

Just like the VIP payment model of the starting point Chinese network, although it 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 up to par.

"Can you bring in a manga writer like Kishimoto Kishimoto?"

Kishimoto is the author of Naruto Japan.

Chen Yu meant to dig him to Yunman with a lot of money.

It's just that 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 anime industry in Japan is very mature, we are just a newcomer to the Japanese manga market, even if he is poached at a high price, he will not come to us. ”

It's not about money.

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

What they want is for their comics to sell around the world.

And this is something that only a Japanese manga industry company can do.

"Is there no solution?"

"Yes, yes, but it's not particularly obvious for the time being. ”

Xu Liang said: "We have opened an original comic backstage, and in addition to signing contracts with some comic studios, ordinary comic authors can also upload their own comic works. However, most of the recent comic works have performed very averagely, and they have not attracted much attention from the public, and there have been no works at the level of violence. ”

Japan has a mature manga industry, and powerful manga authors have long been able to succeed offline.

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

This is not the same as the network on this side of the country.

The Internet is an emerging genre of literature, and he does not appear offline in person.

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

Just like the starting point now, in addition to super gods like [the first white in the world], there have also been people like the Tang family in recent times, I eat rainbow persimmons, and blood rainbows...... These are some very powerful authors.

"However, Mr. Chen, don't worry. Although there are no blockbuster works in the original manga area for the time being, it has aroused the interest of many Japanese manga authors. Most of the paintings in it may be mediocre, but there are always some that perform well. I expect that in a year's time, our original comics will be able to see the first results. ”

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

Naturally, he knew that Liang Xu had a point.

But Chen Yu, who knows more about this model, knows that it takes time.

As Xu Liang said, a year later...... If a year later, then their pear mp3 will have to hit the street.

However, Chen Yu also knew that this kind of thing would not come in a hurry.

Content building takes time.

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

In the end, a group of talented authors swayed at the starting point and created a new world.

"Okay, Xu Liang, I've worked hard in Japan, keep working hard. ”

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, I assure you that if Yunman doesn't do it, I won't return to China. ”

"If I don't go back to China, I think I'm going to have a lot of fun in Japan. ”

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

"I'm kidding you, don't explain, just explain it ......"

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

He had some headaches.

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

This has a great impact on pear mp3.

Of course, if it was just a pear mp3, Chen Yu wouldn't have such a headache.

Pear mp3 can be sold in Japan is the best, even if it can't be sold, there is also the domestic market to support.

He doesn't have to occupy the Japanese market.

MP3 can't handle Japan, and there will be smartphones in the future.

It's just that Yunman and Pear MP3 are an important part of Chen Yu's layout in Japan's electronic payment.

Gotta figure figure it out.

For several days in a row, Chen Yu didn't think of any way.

Even, Chen Yu called to chat with several editors-in-chief of the starting point, and they also felt that they could only rely on time to build content.

After all, genius-level comic book authors can't appear all at once.

If you want explosive content, it is impossible without the accumulation of time.

......

"Big white, big white, not there. ”

"Big white, big white, big white, it's not big. ”

"Great White ......"

Dididi, dozens of messages in YY information.

Chen Yu clicked on it and saw that it was sent by an enthusiastic reader "Zuo Yanchen".

Speaking of this reader, it's quite interesting.

This reader named "Zuo Yanchen" said that he was a super fan of Chen Yu, not only liked what Chen Yu wrote, but also drew comics for the network written by Chen Yu. It turned out that Chen Yu felt that what "Zuo Yanchen" said was false, but as a result, the first drawing was really passed on YY.

"I'll go, you're not going to learn comics, are you?"

"That's right, I'm studying comics. ”

"Amazing, amazing, I didn't expect there to be so many geniuses among my readers. ”

"How's it going, how is the drawing?"

"Very nice. ”

"Thank you, thank you Dabai for the compliment, then I'm going to serialize it for you? But, Dabai, I'm just a poor student, and I don't have the money to buy your comic copyright. ”

"It's okay, it can't be published anyway, you can serialize, don't need money. ”

In 2003, there was basically no market in the domestic comic market.

There is a market and it is also a manga market in Japan.

Of course, this has slowly changed since 2010.

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

"Thank you so much. ”

"You're welcome, I have to thank you, you serialized me, and you are also increasing my popularity. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, as a fan of yours, I'd love to see it. ”

After "Zuo Yanchen" finished speaking, he was very excited to post a message in the "No. 1 White in the World" readership.

"Everyone, today I uploaded the comic of "Legendary World Dream Reality" in the circle, this is the first drawing, and it will be updated a week in the future, and it will be serialized with one painting a week, this is the connection, ask for flowers, ......"

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

"Damn, talent. ”

"This painting skill is very good. ”

"Yes, yes, I thought there was no one to draw comics in China, but I didn't expect domestic comic authors to draw so well. ”

"If you want me to say, it's no worse than a Japanese manga author. ”

"Yes, much better than they painted. ”

"Still, there's more, ask for an update......"

Chen Yu also joined in the excitement, read the comments of many readers, and praised "Zuo Yanchen" from time to time in his heart.

However, just as Chen Yu was about to close the circle, Chen Yu suddenly thought of something: "What if you put the comics that Zuo Yanchen drew for himself on the Yunman platform and serialize ......them?"
