Chapter 157: Abandoning the idea of acquisition

"Could it be that I went to buy Shangguan Xiaobao's Holy Flame Publishing House or Huang Yulang's company?"

Xia Yu had an idea in his heart, as long as he successfully acquired one, he would have talents, and when the time came, with Xia Yu's guidance, he would definitely be able to sweep those influential comics out.

"It's just...... With the current style of Hong Kong comics,It's completely different from the style of Japanese comics.,They've all been stereotyped.,It's really not necessarily possible to draw.,No matter how good the subject matter is,The style of painting can't be shown.,It's very likely to hit the street.。 ”

Xia Yu frowned slightly, and thought worriedly, it was very likely that this situation would occur in reality.

Although Xiangjiang is closer to the island country than Europe, it should not be forgotten that Xiangjiang is still under British jurisdiction, and its culture has been strongly influenced by Britain and even Europe, and the comic style is one of them.

Xiangjiang comics are different from island comics, the comic style is mainly European-style, and ink, in terms of content and character setting by the Chinese cultural tradition in the concept of martial arts, the plot twists and turns are delicate, the theme is wide, most of the works are commercial, and the current themes are mainly concentrated in gangsters, hot-blooded, inspirational, social and science fiction.

The difference between this and Riman's is very different, and it is very likely that Xia Yu will not be able to draw the effect he wants.

Xia Yu has not forgotten that when he entered the comics industry, the purpose of the beginning was to impact the comics industry of the island country and use the comics of the island country to make money from the island country.

If comics such as "Dragon Ball" and "One Piece" drawn in Xiangjiang's current comic style are not known in Xiangjiang, but in the island country, the risk of fluttering has increased geometrically, and Xia Yu has no bottom.

After all, this involves the audience's ability to accept the style, and the islanders are likely to be unable to accept it.

The difference between the European style of painting and the Japanese style of painting is too great!

Xia Yu frowned slightly, and his fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, which was his natural movement when thinking about the problem.

"It seems that the acquisition of the Holy Flame Publishing House or the Yulang Book Company may not have much effect, and they will not necessarily sell, even if they do, the price will not be low. ”

"I only need talents, and their company value must be counted together with the channel, but the reality is that my channel can completely crush them!"

"And the most important thing is the positioning of the comic company, even if their company is acquired, then "Bruce Lee" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" will definitely take over, and this will be difficult to do......"

Xia Yu frowned slightly, thinking with a headache.

In fact, to be honest, the influence of the two major comics "Li Xiaolong" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" is indeed very great, but Xia Yu is a little resistant to this kind of comics, thinking that it will be harmful to the growth of teenagers, and he disdains to make money so much.

Because of this concept, he confiscated his younger brother Xia Ming's comics.

In his view, cultural communication should spread positive and positive things, which is the bottom line that cultural creators should have.

Although it is said that all kinds of markets exist, if you can make money more decently and get a good reputation, then why bother with infamy?

Just like a movie, although the "Crazy Boy" series of movies is a classic, once it was broadcast, how many teenagers were influenced by it to embark on the road of crime?

In his previous life, many people in Xia Yu's village dropped out of school and became gangsters, affecting many families, and his cousin was one of them, causing his cousin's family to suffer.

Therefore, after seeing this information, he was reluctant to buy Shenghuo Publishing House and Yulang International Book Company, not only because of the low success rate and little effect, but also because he was not easy to deal with "Li Xiaolong" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" after the acquisition.

If you want to deal with it, then the original team will definitely not agree, this is a dead knot, and Xia Yu will definitely lose a lot.

And if it is not dealt with, then it will affect the company's future cultural positioning, which is also what Xia Yu does not want.

"In that case, let's be troublesome, I really don't believe that you can't recruit people, if you can't recruit Xiangjiang, you will go to the island country to recruit, there must be talents everywhere, and you can draw the effect I want. ”

"Recruit people from the island country to serve me, draw the cartoons that I stole that originally belonged to the island country, and then make money from the island people in turn, they don't know yet, maybe they will worship our company in the future, this picture, it's interesting to think about!"

The corners of Xia Yu's mouth hooked up a trace of arc, and secretly thought, when he thought of this kind of scene, his heart was a little cool.

"Moreover, it is true that the comic industry of the island country is at the top level in the world, and there are many things worth learning, so it is a good thing for me to learn the good things of the comics of the island country and let the comic industry of Xiangjiang complete the industrialization. ”

"It's not a shame to learn the things of the island people, Wei Yuan once said in the "Atlas of the Sea Kingdom", Shiyi has long skills to control the country, in the case of lagging behind others, you have to be humble when you should be modest, as long as you have ambition and the idea of transcendence, why not bow your head temporarily?"

"As for the Holy Flame Publishing House and Yulang Book Company, let's keep them, without some opponents, wouldn't it be very boring?"

"And with their comparison, as a negative teaching material, maybe it will be more conducive to the promotion and sales of my comics!"

Indeed, as Xia Yu thought, in Xiangjiang now, the public's view of comics is very bad, almost no parent will be willing to buy comics for their children, they all buy them secretly, "Li Xiaolong" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" such high sales, many of them are contributed by gangsters and unscrupulous students.

In the concept of Xiangjiang citizens, comics are an aggregate of blood, violence, SQ, etc., which is completely unsuitable for children.

It is precisely because of this concept that the comic industry market in Xiangjiang is not large, so far, including the market of Taiwan Province and Southeast Asia, at least 500 million or 600 million people, there are only two comics that have sold more than 100,000 copies.

However, compared with the island country, which has a population of more than 100 million, there are at least ten or more comic magazines with a million sales volume, and there are even seven or eight million copies sold per issue.

Compared with the two, the gap is not small!

Despite the economic disparity, we have to admit that the development of the comic industry in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia is not enough, in other words, the potential is huge.

If Xia Yu can open it up, then he will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

As long as it can reverse people's bias towards comics, the comics industry will definitely be able to explode.

"I want parents and children to know that comics are not only bad for people to learn, but also can give children positive things, so that they can shape a good outlook on life in entertainment, enthusiasm, friendship, dreams, hard work, perseverance and ......"

"Let parents change from talking about comics to taking the initiative to buy comics for their children, at that time, why worry that there is no market? Why worry about not making money?"

Xia Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu's heart was completely bright, the specific way is to go like this, first recruit people in Xiangjiang, recruit those who have the ability, recruit those who are not able to recruit as apprentices, and then go to the island country to recruit people, and at the same time recruit training teachers to come over, from the beginning to the island people, to the later training of their own talents, replacing the position of the island people, and finally realizing the rise of the Xiangjiang comic industry.

As for the comic magazine, Xia Yu also had an idea, the best thing the mainland did in the previous life was "Bosom Friend", the reputation of the four major magazines, even people like Xia Yu who don't read comics have heard of it.

Therefore, the name and positioning of "Bosom Friend" can be used for reference, and it can solve a lot of Xia Yu's troubles.

As for the bosom friend media group in later generations, Xia Yu can only say sorry and hope that they can succeed again in the future.
