What's it like to have a boss who is too good at tossing?

Zhou Kang answered this question anonymously on Zhihu, only two simple words were tired, but he was approved by many netizens, and he was simply physically and mentally exhausted.

The boss said that employees have to stay up late to complete the overtime when they break their legs and hands.

Now Hanlin Culture Media is still in full swing to do the books and peripheral sales of "The Legend of Wukong", and there are not enough manpower, but now they still want to buy a comic magazine, which is just a mess!

Ye Shumei rubbed her head, and she showed a wry smile: "The boss really thought that one play is another, and he won't let us buy a Hollywood film company another day, right?"

"When he's made enough money, maybe he'll do it. Zhou Kang obviously knows Zhang Chu's character very well, "I wouldn't be surprised if he buys a VR game company one day." ”

"Seriously, "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year" could have been serialized in magazines, and many students didn't like to read comics on the Internet, so they bought magazines. The sales of those comic magazines were quite good, and my previous company had a dedicated comic department. ”

Prior to her tenure as general manager of Hanlin Culture Media, Ye Shumei was a middle-level leader in a large publishing group, and comics were of course an important support, and she had also heard of these sales.

Domestic animation magazines are roughly divided into two kinds, original magazines and information magazines, they are different in readers, content and even understanding, and smart comics are original magazines that are about to go bankrupt.

"The sales of electronic single books surpassed paper for the first time last year, and officially entered the era of big electronics, but the electronic version of comic magazines has not been done, and the sales of paper magazines still occupy the main part. ”

In the manga industry, these comics are usually serialized in magazines first, and if they are popular, they will continue to be serialized and become feature-length works.

When the serialization volume is enough to publish a single book, the publishing house will publish a single book, that is, the comic books we see every day.

Zhou Kang muttered in a low voice: "This comic market is really a bit weird, I buy an electronic version of a single book, but serial magazines like paper versions." Engaging in this kind of magazine is completely losing money and making money, and the magazine that is about to go bankrupt will definitely have to invest money in it, and there will be no profit in the short term. ”

"Now, if you're an author, you can only serialize your work, and you can live slowly no matter which platform you're on, and even live a pretty good life. But comic magazines can be said to sell as much as they lose, and to make money by selling magazines alone, you have to sell at least 100,000 or even 200,000 copies. ”

Zhou Kang and Ye Shumei were both former people in the publishing industry, and they both knew much more about magazines than the rest.

If more than 50% of the magazines cannot be sold after printing, and if the actual sales volume does not reach 100,000 copies, then the printing, logistics, manuscript fees, and labor costs will definitely be compensated.

The profit point of comics is still in peripheral products, or copyright development, such as single books, mobile e-reading, peripheral goods, animation adaptations, image licensing, etc.

Looking at the entire comic industry, comic magazines that make money are more reliable, but in fact, the final profit point is in copyright development.

Now the largest circulation is "Bosom Friend", the monthly circulation has repeatedly hit new highs, the average monthly circulation of the previous year was only 5 million copies, last year's data has come to 7 million copies, this year is estimated to be able to rush up!

In addition, several other anime periodicals with a relatively large circulation include "Comic Party", "Shenman", "Comic World", "Manyou", "Most Comics", "Sa Comics" and so on.

The better the better, the worse the worse, and the market gradually eliminated the small magazine "Smart Comics", which has no strength guarantee.

"If "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year" is serialized on Bosom Friend Manke, the influence is estimated to increase many readers, which is very important for selling peripheral products and animation production. Put it on this smart comic, not to mention that we can't get the manuscript fee, we have to pay upside down, and few people read it, this account is too cost-effective!"

Zhou Kang thought to himself, now their company is a small family, and they can't afford to toss like this.

"Actually, I should think about it this way, the peripheral sales of "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year" are definitely stronger than "The Legend of Wukong", and when the time comes, it can be sold to children and adults after it is adapted into animation. Ye Shumei thought for a while and said, "You go talk to the smart comics to see if they have any intention of selling, if the requirements are not high, you can take over." ”

If you just treat Lin Han Culture Media as a small workshop, you don't need to acquire these companies, but Ye Shumei has high expectations for it and hopes to become an influential big company.

The boss and the general manager both spoke, and Zhou Kang could only nod and agree, "I hope they don't open their mouths, it will hurt their feelings!"

"It's okay, the boss is rich and willful, and he can do whatever he wants. ”

……

"What's going on with this Chu? I want his work to be serialized, but he wants to buy our company?"

Tian Kangle was so angry that he threw his mobile phone directly on the desk, and the goodwill that had just risen disappeared.

This move made Xu Jing feel very distressed, the mobile phone she had just bought was treated like this!

She opened her mouth to comfort: "Mr. Tian, it's actually a good thing that they are willing to buy smart comics, it's better than the company going bankrupt, right?"

Tian Kangle, who was still angry just now, was instantly deflated, he understood this truth, but it was obviously not easy to hand over the things he had created to others.

In case he sold the smart comic magazine to Zhang Chu's side, but the other party didn't pay attention to it at all, and in the end he had to close the door.

In fact, Xu Jing doesn't care who pays the salary, she is just too lazy to move the nest, if she really lets Zhang Chu be the boss, maybe it will be more stable.

The other party can earn tens of millions of manuscript fees every year, and he will never have no money to pay his salary.

"Mr. Tian, you can add this person's WeChat account, he will talk to you about specific things, and I will go back to work first. ”

"Go ahead, I'll see what kind of conditions they can give!" Tian Kangle knew that he had very few chips, and if Zhang Chu was willing, it was estimated that some of the remaining comic magazines would have to cry and shout for acquisition.

This pretense is not advisable, everything is better to be open and honest!
