Yin Jun has a lot of fixed work to do every year.

For example, he will consider what TV series to give to Kylin TV and ATV at the end of the year.

For example, he will start thinking about adding new comics to Kirin Weekly in May and June.

This year is the fourth year of the opening of "Kirin Weekly", and after three years of development, it is now said that "Kirin Weekly" is the world's No. 1 comic weekly, surpassing all similar works in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, and no one dares to oppose it.

The number of copies published in each issue of Kirin Weekly has increased to 33 million, of which 10 million copies are in China, accounting for almost one-third.

Now that Japan has not yet entered the aging of the population, it is time for them to enjoy the final demographic dividend.

Therefore, there are many young people and students, which naturally brings a large number of comic book fans.

The remaining South Korea, Treasure Island, Xiangjiang and Singapore are still the main force.

The rest of the Chinese in Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and other places also strongly supported Kirin Weekly.

Kirin Weekly itself doesn't really make much money.

In order to accommodate the addition of more and more comics, the number of pages has increased from 500 to 600 pages, a full 20% increase in content, but the price has not changed.

In Xiangjiang, it only sold for 5 Hong Kong dollars a book, and the original price of the Japanese version was also maintained.

And in order to adapt to the new comics of the 83 year, the number of advertising pages this year has also been compressed, and by the addition of three new comics in September, the advertising pages are only about 80 pages, a decrease of almost one-third.

Such a kind comic weekly has also won the unanimous love of comic fans.

However, "Kirin Weekly" makes a lot of money in a single book.

After the influence of these comics became more and more diffusion, there were more and more orders from Europe and the United States.

The first episode of "Dragon Ball" sold 100 million copies of a single book, and Pearson Group asked for 60 million copies and distributed them to various countries in Europe, North America and even South America.

In this way, Kirin Weekly's pre-tax profit soared to 700 million Hong Kong dollars in a month simply by relying on the sales of books, an increase of almost 100% compared with two years ago.

Don't think that's what makes the most money.

Just like the Hollywood film industry, Kirin Culture earns the most not the comics themselves, but the peripheral derivatives of the comics.

This includes Transformers toys and Saint Seiya dolls, as well as the right to broadcast seven or eight cartoons, as well as the sale of clothes, toys and so on from other comics.

They brought $130 million in pre-tax profits to Kirin Culture in one month.

The pre-tax profit of Kirin Group is only about 2 billion Hong Kong dollars a month, and Kirin Culture contributes 16 Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 80% of the share.

It can be seen that it is called the "backbone of the Kirin Group", and it is not an exaggeration at all.

For such cash cows, Yin Jun naturally attaches great importance to it.

The three comics he prepared for "Kirin Weekly" this year are also heavyweight.

The first is "Slam Dunk".

This comic, which is almost known to everyone, represents the pinnacle of basketball comics and even sports comics.

"The Prince of Tennis" and "Football Player" are so well-known, but in terms of influence and spiritual temperament, they are far inferior to "Slam Dunk".

In it, whether it is the first protagonist Sakuragi Hanamichi, or the second protagonist Rukawa Kaede, or the third protagonist Akagi Tsuyoken, or Mitsui Shou...... And so on, they are all like people who have come out of comics, fresh and full of charm.

Even opponents like Yuzhu and Sendo have been talked about decades later, and they have been compared with the Shonan Five again and again.

Inoue Yuhiko relied on this comic book to become a god directly, and he also ate it for a lifetime.

But he was also scolded for a lifetime because he was forced to enter the national competition, and it ended directly in a bad end, and it was countless resentments.

In a way, Inoue Yuhiko is even more hateful than the old thief Fujian.

At least the rich old thief has the complete work of "Youyou Baishu", and although the speed of "Full-time Hunter" is slow, people are always drawing, and young people always consume more energy than him.

But Inoue Yuhiko announced the end of "Slam Dunk" in the 90s, and he will never continue to write, which is a manifestation of the worst crime.

The reason why Yin Jun didn't come up with "Slam Dunk" at the beginning of 79 is that he didn't figure out how to deal with the national competition back then.

In fact, after winning the county-wide championship, "Slam Dunk" has written everything that can be written to the extreme.

Going to the national competition again is actually a similar fighting process, and there is nothing new about it.

Unless Yuhiko Inoue can add foreign elements to the national competition, he can only repeat the previous episodes.

For Inoue Yuhiko, "Slam Dunk" has become the most important work in his heart, just like his son.

If you repeat those plots in order to drag out the length and make more money, you are ruining this classic.

Therefore, Inoue Yuhiko simply wrote a make-up match at the national competition, eliminating last year's champion Sanno team, and then exhausted all his strength and was eliminated in the next game.

Such a tragedy and incompleteness may also be an interpretation of sportsmanship!

Yin Jun's decision to release "Slam Dunk" is because the screenwriters of "Kirin Weekly" have finally completed the content of the national competition that Yin Jun wants after more than a year.

Nor can it be said to be complete.

Yin Jun was still on the main setting, so Sakuragi Hanamichi and they fell in the semifinals, and they didn't even make it to the finals.

But relatively speaking, the screenwriters wrote a total of 6 episodes of their plots in the national competition.

From the group stage to the semi-finals, the opponents encountered in the six games have different characteristics, including the addition of foreign students, which increases the highlights and does not repeat the same.

In this way, in Yin Jun's opinion, it is also a dog's tail and mink, and he reluctantly fills the gap in the middle.

As for why Sakuragi Hanamichi and them didn't win in the end, I'm afraid this is also a tribute from Yin Jun to Yuhiko Inoue.

The second addition

The name is called

Yu-Gi-Oh.

To tell the truth, the comics of "Yu-Gi-Oh" are actually not so good, in terms of story, the above "Slam Dunk" can crush it with a little thumb.

But "Yu-Gi-Oh" is the most successful commercial development of all comics.

Since 1998, when it was animated and began selling card games and game cards, it has been the number one card game seller for more than two decades, and it is also one of the best-selling merchandise.

Disney's vaunted "Cars" didn't sell as well as it.

Even seven years after the end of the manga, in 2011, the sales of original cards of "Yu-Gi-Oh" still reached 25.1 billion!

In addition, there is also income from games, animation, etc., and the author Takahashi and Nozomi have made a lot of money, and they are the third richest people in the Japanese anime industry after the two great gods of Eiichiro Oda and Akira Toriyama.

The success of the games and cards of "Yu-Gi-Oh" is far more than in Asian regions such as Japan, South Korea and Treasure Island, and they have conquered even Europe and the United States.

Countless children and half-grown middle school students, on average, have a few or dozens of sets of "Yu-Gi-Oh" cards, and they are enthusiastic to play the game.

If the young people of Huaguo don't understand how popular "Yu-Gi-Oh" is, then it can be described as an example.

For example, basketball, the status and popularity of "Yu-Gi-Oh" in the world is the NBA, and the "Three Kingdoms" that we Chinese people like is the CBA.

That's the big gap.

According to a game peripheral statistics in 2020, the overall output value of "Yu-Gi-Oh" has exceeded 15 billion US dollars in the more than 20 years since it was released.

$15 billion ......

Well, Sohu's market capitalization in the U.S. stock market in 2018 was $1.5 billion.

That's the output value of 10 Sohu.

But this number is definitely not the extreme of Yu-Gi-Oh.

As a developer and operator of games and cards, Konami simply didn't have much strength to promote Yu-Gi-Oh.

If Disney were to do it, it would be easy to double or triple this output value.

It just so happens that Yin Jun has Disney in this life.

Not only that, but he also owns the largest television station in Asia, and will soon own ABC, one of the three major television networks in the United States.

With these two weapons, "Yu-Gi-Oh" will definitely be promoted to the maximum extent when it is changed into a cartoon, so that children will like the various cards in "Yu-Gi-Oh" and enjoy it.

If you start publishing comics now, and then make them into cartoons two or three years later, and take a year to spread and promote, it will take you until about 88 years before they can officially blossom and bear fruit.

Therefore, it can't be delayed, and now is the right time to start doing "Yu-Gi-Oh".

As for the third part, it is not inferior to the previous two.

It's called

《bleach》。

Chinese comic fans call it "Bleach Reaper"!

Right!

It's the super popular classic known as the three major migrant worker comics!!

Although the comic "Grim Reaper" ranks at the bottom of the three major migrant worker comics, it is mainly because of its style limitations.

"Bleach " takes a cold, brutal, and cold route, and is not as bloody as "Naruto" and "One Piece", so much attention to all kinds of beauty in the world, so the audience is not as good as the first two.

Those who like "Death" are probably older readers, and even many middle-aged people will read it with relish.

"Bleach Grim Reaper" was originally a 2002 work, almost 20 years later.

Ten years later, I don't have to worry about the original author drawing a draft.

The reason why Yin Jun came up with one of the three major migrant worker comics so early and chose "Death" is that "Kirin Weekly" needs to continue to use ace works to consolidate and expand its influence.

He didn't bother to use those ordinary comics to join "Kirin Weekly".

Moreover, in the next few years, Kirin Group will focus on the development of the United States, Hong Kong and the mainland, and the financial pressure and many other pressures are very great.

As the backbone of the Kirin Group, "Kirin Weekly" can only become stronger and stronger, strong enough to make all opponents desperate and all conspirators sigh, so as to best ensure that the expansion of the Kirin Group will not be affected.

Even if it is a temporary failure, as long as you see that "Kirin Weekly" is still dominating the world, sweeping all the opponents in the same field, and earning astronomical sums of money for the Kirin Group every day, then everyone's hearts will be steady.

Therefore, not only "Bleach ", but in the next three or five years, Yin Jun will also add those equally heavy comics.

Only in this way, "Kirin Weekly" continues to exude the light of the king, so that Kirin Group can have more confidence to face the challenges of the future!
