The above eight comic magazines are among the best in China, and each comic magazine has a weekly circulation of more than 500,000 copies, which is also the main reason why Lin Tianbao wants to cooperate with these comic magazines.

The eight comics have regular readers, and Lin Tianbao was still entangled at the beginning, which comic magazine does the studio cooperate with?

"I'm sorry, our magazine refuses to accept sports comics, and I hope to work with your studio next time. ”

"I'm sorry, but our magazine doesn't accept basketball comics for the time being, if I have the opportunity to cooperate with your studio in the future. ”

"Basketball comics are too niche to cater to the mainstream of the market, but our magazine is happy to cooperate with your studio to serialize "The Legend of the Little Soldier", "The Legend of the Master" and "The Cardin". ”

……

……

……

Well, these eight well-known comic magazines are all a urine, and when they heard that the young marshal studio was going to cooperate with them in basketball comics, they refused directly without even reading the manuscript, and those who had business opportunities even targeted the comic IP of three novels such as Xiaobing.

All in all, studios can work with them, but it's not Slam Dunk.

How do you drop basketball comics?

These comic magazines don't even bother to read the sketches of "Slam Dunk", and directly deny the value of "Slam Dunk", isn't this too arbitrary?

There is a saying that "starve the faint-hearted, support the bold", these comic magazines only know how to cater to the mainstream of the market, and have been led by the market by the nose, and sooner or later, they will close their doors.

Lin Tianbao is not cursing, he has already foreseen it, because he is going to get involved in the comic market!

In the past, Lin Tianbao didn't want to play so big, after all, the studio had just started, and the business was going to expand steadily, so he planned to find a comic partner to make money together, but the idea was good, but in reality, no one dumped him.

It's better not to dump him, otherwise Lin Tianbao wouldn't have had an idea and came up with the idea of "buying a comic magazine to have fun".

In recent years, paper comics have also been sluggish, and it is undeniable that the comic market is a big cake, but many people can't play with this market, so it is no exaggeration to say that there are comic magazines that go out of business every month.

With the working capital of the studio, I can't afford to buy a large comic magazine, but a small comic magazine can always buy it, right?

Li Mingyang returned from vacation, and when he heard the bad news that "Slam Dunk" had been rejected again and again, his brows were tightly locked, is "Slam Dunk" really so unbearable? Why didn't a comic magazine give him even a chance to serialize?

Before amplifying the fake, Li Mingyang was also full of confidence in "Slam Dunk", because in addition to him, colleagues in the studio were optimistic about "Slam Dunk" from top to bottom, but he clearly remembered that his colleagues laughed when they watched "Slam Dunk", saying "interesting", "good-looking" and "wonderful".

Li Mingyang is not an ignorant child, of course he can distinguish between compliments and sincerity, and he knows that his colleagues are telling the truth.

It was precisely because he was full of hope that Li Mingyang was deeply affected and his feelings were lost.

"Fame, don't worry, I've got me, since those comics don't want to serialize our "Slam Dunk", then we won't let them share the cake, let's buy the comics ourselves! ”

Lin Tianbao patted his old classmate on the shoulder and said the studio's next plan - to acquire the comic magazine company.

These days, Lin Tianbao is aggrieved, a comic magazine refuses "Slam Dunk", then refuses, the owner does not choose the west, the problem is that the eight largest comic magazines in China are not interested in "Slam Dunk", Lin Tianbao suddenly felt that he was not stupid? Why did he put the fate of "Slam Dunk" in the hands of others? Isn't it good to run it himself? It's just that he bears the risk.

Although there is an essential difference between comics and novels, he believes that as long as the first issue of the comic magazine is done well and his fans feel that it is worth the money, these fans will be converted into loyal readers of the comic magazine in the future.

Regarding the idea of "acquiring the comic magazine company", Lin Tianbao also discussed it with his girlfriend, although Lin Tianbao took a big step forward, Yu Qingya still unconditionally supported her boyfriend.

It's good to be a big boss by yourself, and you can implement it as soon as you have an idea, and you don't have to be constrained by people everywhere.

Of course, provided that the funds are in place, Lin Tianbao plans to take out a budget of 20 million to acquire a small and medium-sized comic magazine.

Li Mingyang's mouth opened slightly when he heard this, he was really surprised by the courage of his old classmates, he just serialized a comic, can he afford to buy a comic magazine to play so big?

The studio cooperates with other comics to serialize comics and the studio acquires comics to serialize comics themselves, these are two different concepts, the former studio does not have the slightest risk, as long as the comics serialize the draft, the studio has a manuscript fee to get. As for the cost of the manuscript, it depends on the strength of the studio and the quality of the drawing.

As far as Li Mingyang knows, the average remuneration for serialized manuscripts for newcomers to comics is 100-300 yuan per page, while the remuneration for serialized manuscripts of veteran cartoonists is 300-500 yuan per page, and the remuneration for serialized manuscripts of comic masters is more than 500 yuan per page.

The so-called new comic artists are new cartoonists who have just debuted and serialized their works in comics, veteran comic artists are comic artists who have completed more than one work, and comic masters are those who have at least one or more popular masterpieces.

A comic newcomer like Li Mingyang, unless the manuscript is creative and selling, the rejection rate is as high as 90%, which is why Shenzhou comic studios are constantly springing up.

Maybe the young marshal studio is not a professional comic studio, and a comic magazine company looks down on them.

Buying comic comics by yourself,It involves a problem "self-financing",If the sales of comics are not good,Then the comic magazine is a bottomless pit,It's useless to fill in no amount of money。

"We serialize our own comics, isn't that too risky?"

Li Mingyang admitted that he was moved, but it was inevitable to worry, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, in case the old classmates were burdened by him and lost all their money, what should I do?

"There's definitely a risk, but that's not something you should worry about, now you just have to put your heart and soul into Slam Dunk. ”

Since Lin Tianbao plans to buy the comic serial "Slam Dunk", then I am in charge of my comic magazine, let that god horse go to hell!

Li Mingyang asked: "A comic magazine is more than just a comic, have you thought about other comics?"

The corners of Lin Tianbao's mouth rose, and he said: "Have you forgotten my old job? Originally, I planned to sell the comic IP of the three works of Little Soldier, Shishi, and Katu, but now I don't have to sell it, let's operate the comic IP ourselves." ”

Selling comic IP is purely to make money, and it is risky to operate by himself, with the stickiness of Lin Jiajun's fans, it shouldn't be so miserable for him to lose all his money, right?
