Chapter 75: Crossing
Back in the 21st century in less than a week, Lin Qi has already done a lot of things. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Of course, he didn't forget to do some research on the Internet.
For example, the comic character design of "Breaking the Sky", as well as the content of the first dozens of pages. Although the painting style of "Breaking the Sky" can only be said to be mediocre in the 21st century.
But since the comic book industry is always evolving.
Every ten or twenty years, the style of the comic industry changes dramatically compared to before. This change mainly comes from market regulation, and readers are becoming more and more critical, forcing the comics' painting style, plot, and creativity to be upgraded.
I can't feel the progress of the literary and art industry in a year or two, but once the span rises to ten years, I will feel that the past experience and techniques have become outdated, and I can't master the new style and experience of painting, and it is difficult for the past masters to gain a foothold in the industry.
Even some hardcore manga readers, out of nostalgia, still regard "Dragon Ball", "Soccer Player", "Saint Seiya" and other manga from the 80s as masterpieces. But...... Accustomed to seeing the new "Gintama", "Death", "Hokage", "One Piece" and the like in the 21st century, let him look back at the previous "masterpieces", the biggest feeling is - "the painting style is so earthy", "what an old painting style"!
This is the same as the later "Meteor Garden" TV series, "Meteor Garden" has just aired, F4 is a symbol of the fashionable value of beautiful men. But in another ten years, look at Nima's, the killing of Matt at the junction of urban and rural areas, Tucheng is like that, and he is still an idol?
There is also the so-called "Republic of China Fan", if you really experience the old movies, old photos and advertising posters of the Republic of China era, you will only feel the scum of the soil during the Republic of China.
The so-called "Republic of China Fan" on the Internet is already something that has been innovated by rearranging and combining modern fashion elements and aesthetics.
Fashionability is something that changes dramatically every ten years, and one generation is always more fashionable than the next.
Except for a very small number of classics that have transcended the times, most of the entertainment and cultural products are the tears of the times. An era has a classic of an era, and most of the classics are only the classics of the time, and it is difficult to transcend time and space.
Only the beginning of the comic "Breaking the Sky", Lin Qi still felt that it was not enjoyable, and took out the classic "Beidou God Fist", which was a classic in the 80s.
"Beidou God Fist" is a Japanese comic, but it integrates a lot of Chinese martial arts elements into it. To put it simply, this is a modern martial arts comic drawn by a Japanese cartoonist, and the style of painting is not like mainstream Japanese comics, but like Hong Kong comics......
After Hong Kong Man changed "Little Rascal" to "Dragon Tiger Gate", the painting style began to have a huge transformation. Gradually changing to a realistic painting style, the battle scenes are becoming more and more impactful like a movie.
Since "Fist of the Big Dipper" is ready to be plagiarized in the 80s, Lin Qi is not polite and continues to stare at some well-known Japanese comics in the 80s, especially "Ranma" and "Dragon Ball" with some Chinese elements are included in the plagiarism plan.
Of course, "4WD Kid" and "4WD Brothers" can't be missed, this kind of anime is not so much about making money from works, but about making money by selling mini 4WD toys.
Historically, the Japanese Tamiya Model Company developed a simplified version of the mini four-wheel drive toy in 82 years, which was tepid at first. However, later Tamiya Model Company promoted the "4WD Kid" anime and used this anime work as a promotional weapon. Sure enough, the Tamiya four-wheel drive quickly became popular all over the world......
Of course, when the Tiangong four-wheel drive car swept the world, there were also some imitators in China, for example, Guangdong's Audi Double Diamond, which developed a series of independent mini four-wheel drive cars, but as a follower, there was no brand advantage, and there was only a price war.
Tamiya Model Company's mini four-wheel drive car sells for about 60 yuan in China, while Audi's double-diamond four-wheel drive steals the market at a low price of 20 yuan.
In the 90s, the popular four-wheel drive cars in China were basically produced by Audi Double Diamond, and the parts of those four-wheel drive vehicles, such as various motor engines - silver supermaster, gold supermaster, Jaguar, jaguar, Jinba, etc., have become assembly parts that attract senior four-wheel drive car players.
Of course, four-wheel drive companies also provide motor parts and coils, allowing players to wind the coil by themselves, and may make a more powerful electric motor, of course, the vast majority of players do not have the knowledge of manufacturing motors, and the motor that winds out randomly basically causes the battery to short circuit and the coil burns.
Lin Qi collected some design drawings of 4WD vehicles and ordered dozens of different mini 4WDs online.
Compared with other works, Lin Qi knows that the potential commercial prospects of this kind of four-wheel drive-themed comics are much greater than the more popular "Dragon Ball" and "Saint Seiya".
Next, Lin Qi said to Yun Xianke again: "Xiaoyun, in order to continue to ask the investment boss for money, I still have to go abroad, and during this time, the company will be handed over to you." According to the established development plan, focus on stability, and ensure that the capital chain will not be broken within 3 months at least. ”
"Don't worry, boss, the situation of the website is getting better day by day, as long as the revenue keeps growing, the monthly loss will gradually decrease......" Yun Xianke cannot guarantee profitability.
Every month, the salary of employees, the author's manuscript fee, and various operating expenses are constantly burning money.
However, the income can only rely on the VIP monthly subscription, and now each reader only has 1 yuan per month per month. Even if more than 10,000 paying readers have been developed, the monthly income during the preferential period is only more than 10,000 yuan.
In a few months, even if it rises to 3 yuan a month, without losing monthly readers, the monthly income is expected to be 30,000 yuan. Compared with the expenditure of 300,000, this income is a drizzle.
But it can't be helped, this is the Internet, this is entrepreneurship!
Most of the startups with positive cash flow have gone through a long cash-burning cycle, or have found a market that others have not noticed, and have laid a fertile ground.
Felix has missed the golden age of Internet entrepreneurship, and chooses to be a mature market rather than a new one.
It's not easy to burn money to generate some real income.
……
"Light Gate...... Open it!"
After preparing everything, Lin Qi carried a travel bag full of toys and printed materials on paper, and disappeared in an instant in the 21st century.
In the next second, it has returned to the parallel world for 81 years.
Looking at the overgrown suburbs, the blackness was frightening.
Lin Qi couldn't help frowning, for the sake of the safety of crossing, he should buy a villa at the same address on both sides of the world. In this way, in the future, the crossing will be carried out at home, and the completeness and privacy can be guaranteed.
Meanwhile......
Every time you find a place to cross in the wilderness, you can keep it a secret, but if you encounter an unexpected situation, you can't survive or die.
