285 Development of comics

After Wu Peng left, Xu Zhi took out a box of iron cans from the drawer, opened it, took out a little difference from it, put it in a cup, and then poured in a little boiling water.

This is the Shanghai Municipal Government learned that he likes tea, and specially arranged for someone to send the best Tieguanyin.

But this is still a real waste, what kind of tea does he like, but the last time he chatted with the president of Xinhua News Agency, it was a little cold, so he shifted to "tea tasting".

It is estimated that the mainland government has archives for these rich people, and this "hobby of tea" has been written.

Drinking this "preference" bitter tea, Xu Zhi pondered, the history of Shanghai Art Film Studio was very glorious, although there were some faults in the 70s, but there was still no lack of a large number of excellent existences, these people in the original history, can only become Japanese comics soldiers.

And now, he wants to release Japanese manga that were once classic in the 80s and 90s, which naturally requires a large number of elites to cooperate.

Now is the best time to enter the manga market on a large scale, and with his financial resources, he has the ability to negotiate formally with many Japanese manga distribution agencies, instead of creating works with the multi-billion-dollar industrial chain like Japanese manga artists in history, and only taking a small part of them.

For example, Akira Toriyama, the author of Dragon Ball, can get hundreds of millions of yuan worth of copyright dividends every year in the 21st century, but compared to the entire Dragon Ball industry chain, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

These benefits are naturally many for ordinary people, but they are far from enough for capitalists.

Comics are not games, they can't be easily copied and succeeded, which requires a large number of professionals, market comprehension, channel resources, etc., even if Xu Zhi, a traverser, tells a group of ordinary cartoonists the content of the story, it is difficult for them to directly copy the Japanese comic classics of later generations.

In order to improve the success rate, Xu Zhi has been slowly honing the level of his painters in recent years.

Changxing Culture Company has basically been in a low-key state, in terms of toys, cauliflower dolls have begun to become famous in the United States, but it is not yet the time of profit, and a large amount of advertising investment is still a huge gold-swallowing beast.

In terms of comics, it has been updating "Sou Shen Ji" and "Crayon Xiaoxin".

Among them, Sou Shen Ji has broken the comic record of Xiangjiang, with the highest sales of more than 150,000 copies in one issue, and at the same time, some Japanese cartoonists were invited to exchange and learn, and Sou Shen Ji was translated into Japanese and distributed through Japanese channels, and also obtained good sales of 200,000 copies in one issue.

"Crayon Shin-chan" is even more successful, with an average sales of more than 600,000 copies per issue, and it is already one of the favorite characters of Japanese children. Some Japanese children's toys and school furniture brands have begun to contact Changxing to discuss the purchase of portrait rights, and a Japanese television station is also interested in introducing "Crayon Shin-chan" to the animation channel.

This is already the farthest step on the road of IP development, and after several years of running-in with the market, the development of Changxing Comics has begun to enter the right track.

However, there are still a lot of difficulties, and "Crayon Xiaoxin" is actually difficult to copy, because this is not a big plot story, but a single plot plot of a small section, Xu Zhi has not seen all the content, not to mention that TV and comics may not be the same. Therefore, the storyline of each episode must be filled in by hand, fortunately, the company has been preparing for a long enough time before the release, and there is enough manuscript storage, but in order to fill this simple content, I don't know how many people's hairlines have been raised.

And similar stories include "Detective Conan", "Pokémon" and so on.

In the future, preparations have begun for the upcoming comics, which also requires a large number of capable newcomers to come in to join the alliance and prepare for the early release.

What's more, drawing comics is only the first step, and there will be cartoons in the future, which requires a large number of cartoonists.

An episode of anime is generally 20 minutes, 1200 seconds, and one second is generally 20 frames, that is, 20 manga are needed, and a total of at least 24,000 copies are needed.

If in the computer era in the future, software technology can also be used to render and copy, but now it is not possible, supercomputers may be able to have this configuration ability, but not to mention the price, the development of this kind of software alone is an astronomical cost.

Midea company does not have this ability at present, even if it has, it will not develop, the emergence of every product in the computer era is decided according to the computing power of semiconductors at that time, and the development of this technology that does not conform to the times in advance will only lead to huge losses and waste patent time.

The Chinese in Xiangjiang or other regions do not have enough talent reserves in this area, while Japan has enough people, but the cost is too high, otherwise the Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio will not be able to receive so many orders.

Therefore, the mainland is the best choice, a large number of art majors graduate every year, these people are the best seedlings, recruited to meet the company's needs for the number of personnel, but also in the future from among them to find suitable training objects, as the company's fresh blood.

But again, it's the 80s, and these people will be assigned jobs as soon as they graduate, and it is very difficult to dig them up in large quantities, so cooperation with the state-owned enterprise department has become the best way.

As for some rewards for these mainland comic elites, compared to the benefits of the future comic market, they are just a drop in the bucket, anyway, the houses in this era are super cheap, so buy some for them.

Even these investments are just the beginning, and in the future, the elite of this group will be sent to other countries for exchanges and learning to improve their capabilities.

Of course, this kind of person must give up the identity of a state-owned enterprise and really join the talent line of Changxing Company.

Just as Xu Zhi was thinking, his parents and little sister pushed the door in.

Xu Zhixiao asked, "How is it, Jing'an Temple is not bad." ”

After coming to Shanghai, Xu Zhi also accompanied his family to a few scenic places to play, but after all, he has a lot of business to do, it is impossible to run around all the time, today his parents and little sister went to the most famous Jing'an Temple in Shanghai to worship Buddha.

Xu Yaxin said: "The scenery is not bad, but there are too many people." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "This is natural, this is also almost the New Year, there must be many people who come to worship the Buddha." ”

Xu Yaxin said again: "We are going to Jiuqu Bridge and Huxin Pavilion tomorrow, do you want to go?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "No, I won't be available tomorrow, I have already made an appointment with the senior officials of the city to meet tomorrow." ”

Through Wang Weide's communication, tomorrow Xu Zhi will personally go to the city government to discuss new cooperation.
