Chapter 150: New Comic Magazine

Wu Ming's reaction to Shangguan Xiaobao and Zhang Dexin was not surprising. Ten years later, "4WD Brothers" can also stand out among many excellent comics, let alone when this comic is just beginning!

However, there is still a big difference between the original and the anime version of this manga.

The original work is a story written for elementary and junior high school age groups, and the animated version is a story for elementary school students to high school students, so the story development is more complex than the original, and it is natural that it can be accepted by a wider age group. The main target audience is not only elementary and junior high school boys, but also among high school girls in island countries, and has created a lot of doujinshi.

In order to maximize the publicity effect of this comic, Wu Ming naturally abandoned the original work and chose to adapt the animated version into a comic.

At the same time, the names in the comics were all Huaxia by Wu Ming, and after the two surnames Dongfang and Nangong, Ximen could not escape Wu Ming's poisonous hands. The two protagonists, Xing Ma Hao and Xing Ma Lie, were changed to Ximen Hao and Ximen Lie.

The name "Wu Ming" is no exception, and the "Eagle Feather Dragon" in the comics was replaced by "Wu Ming" by Wu Ming. After Go players, yo-yo players, football players, and elf trainers, Wu Ming has another identity as a four-wheel drive player.

Originally, in the plot of the first part of "Four-wheel Drive Brothers", all the contestants ran and followed the four-wheel drive car. It wasn't until the plot of the second part that it was changed to wearing roller skates and following a four-wheel drive. In order to promote his own roller skates by the way, the first part was changed by Wu Ming to wear roller skates for competitions.

Wu Ming touched his chin and asked, "By the way, how are your preparations?" Yesterday I called the island country Sun Moon Society, and Taniyama Naoyoshi said that his preparations had been done, the serialized comics had been found, and "Happy Dragon" could be launched at any time. Now it's up to you. ”

"We at the Order of the Phoenix are also ready. Zhang Dexin said with a smile.

Shangguan Xiaobao smiled and said, "I heard that there is a new magazine to be launched, in order to get the serialization slot this time, the cartoonists in the club are all like chicken blood." Now that all the comics have been serialized, all you need is your boss's orders, and "Happy Phoenix" can be launched. ”

Now several of Wu Ming's comics, except for "The Legend of Nezha", which can be completed in another year, the others have just entered the development stage. And "Dragon Ball", "Soccer Player", and "Pokemon" are all famous longevity manga.

The shortest Dragon Ball will take ten years to complete. "Pokemon" can be drawn forever.

So if "Four-wheel Drive Brothers" wants to be serialized, it has to squeeze out other people's serialization slots. But now the serial slots of the two publishing houses are a little insufficient, and Wu Ming alone accounts for three of the more than 20 serial slots in the weekly magazine.

The monthly magazines of the Order of the Phoenix and the Sun and Moon have twice as many pages as the weekly magazines, or 1,000 pages. But ordinary people serialize more than 20 or 40 pages per issue, but Wu Ming's "The Legend of Nezha" serializes more than 90 pages of 5 words per issue.

In the beginning, there was naturally nothing, and at that time, there were relatively few cartoonists in both publishing houses. But now the Phoenix Society and the Sun and Moon Society have been developing for a year, and they are already full of talents.

If Wu Ming occupies a position again, even if he is the boss, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many cartoonists.

In order to solve this problem, Wu Ming discussed with Zhang Dexin, Shangguan Xiaobao, and Taniyama Shangyi, and decided to add new magazines again. The new magazine of the Order of the Phoenix is called "Happy Phoenix", and the new magazine of the Sun Moon Society is called "Happy Dragon", which means Happy Phoenix and Happy Dragon.

Unlike the Phoenix Society and the Sun Moon Society, which used to be comic magazines that were biased towards teenagers, both magazines were monthly manga magazines that were biased towards elementary school students.

Of course, Wu Ming and others decided to transfer the sub-comic book "Pokemon" from the shonen manga weekly to the two comic monthly magazines that will be launched, and become the pillar of these two comic monthly magazines.

And "4WD Brothers" took over the position of "Pokemon" and landed in Comic Book Weekly.

"Good!"

After listening to Zhang Dexin and Shangguan Xiaobao's answers, Wu Ming nodded with satisfaction. He thought for a while, and then said, "In that case, the inaugural issues of Happy Dragon and Happy Phoenix are scheduled for the 12th of this month. A week should be enough time for you to get the word out, right?"

Zhang Dexin nodded and smiled: "Enough, we have been preparing for so long." One week is enough time for the entire Xiangjiang people to know. ”

"Well, that's it. Wu Ming said with a smile.

Wu Ming picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then looked at Zhang Dexin with blazing eyes, and said, "I'm here today, in addition to comics, there are other things to find Uncle Zhang." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Dexin looked puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "You have something to look for me?"

Shangguan Xiaobao also looked at Wu Ming with interest.

Wu Ming smiled mysteriously and said, "It's a good thing!"

"A good thing?" Zhang Dexin was even more confused.

Wu Ming also stopped selling Guan Zi and told the matter.

"I plan to set up a publishing and media group, including the two comic book publishers of the Phoenix Society and the Sun Moon Society, as well as the global chain of bookstores Xinghuo Bookstore. In the future, newspapers, literary publishing houses and entertainment magazines will be acquired in Hong Kong. So to find a suitable person to be in charge of this group, Uncle Zhang, you are the candidate I picked out after much consideration. ”

"Really?!" Zhang Dexin was shocked.

Wu Ming smiled and said: "Naturally it's true, I'm a little worried about finding someone from the outside, and only Uncle Zhang can you fully trust." ”

Zhang Dexin has been at the helm of the Phoenix Society for more than a year, and his ability and management experience have been greatly improved, so when he is ready to establish a media publishing group, Wu Ming will think of him.

"Let me slow down for a while!" Zhang Dexin waved his hand and said in a rough voice.

Wu Ming stopped talking, just looked at Zhang Dexin with a smile.

This incident is indeed a big surprise for Zhang Dexin. You must know that although the Order of the Phoenix is growing rapidly, it is now only worth two or three million dollars. The publishing and media group was worth at least four or five billion dollars after its establishment. With a gap of nearly 20 times, it is no wonder that Zhang Dexin was shocked.

Zhang Dexin's eyes constantly showed a look of struggle and hesitation, presumably it was difficult for him to decide whether to be the president of the publishing and media group, after all, he had never had experience in managing such a large company, and he was afraid that he would not be able to do well after taking office.

After a long while, Zhang Dexin finished thinking. At this time, the look in his eyes had become extremely determined.

"I won't let you down. Zhang Dexin said categorically.

Hearing Zhang Dexin's reply, Wu Ming couldn't help but smile.

Shangguan Xiaobao on the side looked at Zhang Dexin with great envy, he had already understood Zhang Dexin's details in the past year. In terms of true ability and potential, many people are stronger than Zhang Dexin. It's just that people have followed the boss before the boss made a fortune, so they can have today's treatment.
