Chapter 431: The author of "Superman" is exposed
After Robin and others finished watching the second issue of Superman, they kept urging Lin Ruofeng to hurry back and draw comics.
So, after a few hours of physical training, Lin Ruofeng returned to the hotel.
As soon as I returned to the hotel, I received a call from Martin.
"Boss, tell you a good news, great news, your comics, "Superman" is popular, and it only took half a day for it to become popular in the United States, haha, do you know, the latest issue of Marvel Magazine has been reprinted 200,000 copies, and we are still receiving orders one after another, oh my God, I can't believe that I can witness the birth of such a phenomenal comic in my lifetime!"
As soon as the phone was connected, Martin said in a very emotional tone.
Lin Ruofeng smiled: "Martin, you have to be calm, this is just the beginning." ”
"You're right, this is really just the beginning. Martin continued: "It's just that I can't imagine what that kind of start will be, and I've never seen such a hit in comics in all my years. ”
"Superman has the potential to make American comic book history, oh, I'm so excited, I feel like I'm still dreaming that such a popular comic book came from our company, yes, Superman belongs to our Marvel company. ”
"Martin, believe me, there will be many excellent comics in our Marvel in the future. Lin Ruofeng said.
For Lin Ruofeng, not only Superman, but also superheroes from his previous life, such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, and Captain America, will all be shown to this world to form a series.
In addition to comics, Lin Ruofeng also plans to enter film and television. It would be a huge asset if the superhero series were all transformed into a movie.
In the previous life, Marvel, with the characters under its name, did not know how much box office it collected. There are fans of these superheroes almost all over the world, it's hard to imagine.
"Hopefully, but I'm not so optimistic, now the comic industry in the United States as a whole is still in decline, the emergence of "Superman" is just an example, however, it points out the direction for the creation of comics, that is, ****, the advent of "Superman" tells us that comics are really not limited to young children. ”
Martin continued: "Oh, by the way, boss, actually, I called you to ask if you could come to the company for an interview. ”
"Interview?" Lin Ruofeng asked in surprise.
"Yes, boss, this is a great benefit for you and for our company. Martin explained. "Now that "Superman" is popular, and the author is naturally attracting attention, if an interview is published in the magazine at this time, then it will naturally win the attention of readers and increase the popularity of "Superman". ”
"Okay, you name the time. Lin Ruofeng said.
"Strike while the iron is hot, boss, come over now. Martin said.
Lin Ruofeng snorted and said: "In addition, I have another suggestion, now that "Superman" is so popular, you can completely take out "Superman" separately and make a magazine, on which only "Superman" is published and the rest of the pages can be advertised, put some reader comments, testimonials and other things, which can expand the brand influence of "Superman" and better develop the commercial value of "Superman". ”
"Open a separate magazine for Superman?" Hearing this suggestion, Martin was slightly stunned, the matter of opening a separate comic book has never been done in the history of American comics.
However, Lin Ruofeng's suggestion is a complete reference to the distribution model of "Superman" on the earth, when "Superman" was first serialized in "Action Comics", and after it became popular, it immediately released its exclusive periodical, and it has been the case for decades since, and "Superman" was at its most popular, with a single volume sold more than two million.
In this world, "Superman" is still an overnight hit, and if it continues according to this model, it is definitely possible to be like in the previous life.
"Boss, you are such a genius! I thought about it seriously, and your proposal is very groundbreaking and feasible. After a short silence, Martin said excitedly: "I thought you were just buying Marvel for fun, but now it seems that it is not like that, "Superman" was discovered by you, and the proposal to publish a separate issue for "Superman" is also your idea, oh, you are really the savior of Marvel Comics!"
"I only think about it once in a while, and you do the rest yourself. Lin Ruofeng smiled faintly.
Just for interest, how could he buy a company, his ambition is more than this, what he wants is to completely launch Marvel in this world.
At the same time, he also wants to use the bridge of comics to enter the American film and television industry.
In the previous life, American film and television had an extremely huge impact on China. Now, Lin Ruofeng is in control of Marvel, and such a thing can be completely avoided.
"Well, I'll do it seriously. At this time, Martin said: "By the way, boss, there is one more thing, that is, can you keep your comic creations updated? After all, you still have to play." ”
"Don't worry about this, I will draw the first draft of the storyboard, as for the rest, I will leave it to you, and you can find a professional to process it" Lin Ruofeng responded.
He didn't have that much time to draw all day, so he could only draw the storyboard and finish the first draft.
After that, the character is complete, such as the subtle adjustment of the movements, the color, or something, which needs to be done by a professional like Martin.
Secondly, Lin Ruofeng not only has to draw "Superman", but also needs to prepare for the appearance of a hero.
However, Lin Ruofeng is not ready to let him appear now, but has to wait until "Superman" is about to end.
Lin Ruofeng had a headache, and in order to save time, he had to work overtime to finish painting "Superman".
"Okay, that's it for now, I'll see you later, boss. ”
Hung up Martin's phone, Lin Ruofeng took a taxi directly to Marvel.
Regarding the interview, Martin had already arranged it. As soon as Lin Ruofeng arrives and rests for a while, it will begin.
Immediately afterwards, an interview with the author of "Superman" appeared in the latest issue of Marvel magazine.
"The author of "Superman" that you can't imagine!
On the cover of the latest issue of Marvel magazine, Lin Ruofeng's poster was printed and marked with this title.
When they saw the cover and title, everyone was stunned.
Lin Ruofeng, the super player of the NBA league's strongest new star, is actually the author of the comic "Superman".
At this moment, almost everyone is confused.
"Is that Lin Ruofeng?"
"That's right, it's that Lin Ruofeng!"
"Oh my God, it's crazy!"
The whole United States was shocked by this exciting news, and was a little in a trance. [.]
