Although doujin is an indispensable part of the ACGN field, if a work is always satisfied with a small fight in the fandom field, there is not much "money".

In Qin Han's view, commercialization is an unavoidable topic on the road to the development of fan works.

Although in the previous life, there were exceptions such as the Oriental series, but whether it is the type of moon or clamp, these well-known fandom societies have all developed in the direction of commercialization after accumulating enough fame and economic power.

You can run a business magazine dedicated to publishing works related to the Fate and Touhou series - comics, illustrations, canonbooks, miscellaneous talks, and more.

A person's ability and energy are limited after all, and it is the right way to recruit more talented creators to fill in the content and expand the world view for the two major series of Fate and Dongfang, and finally form a colorful fantasy universe.

In this way, derivative products such as games and animations will not have to worry about the original story for reference and adaptation.

Just like the type moon club in the previous life, in addition to the two cores of Takeuchi Takashi and Nasu Mushroom, there are also a large number of excellent (?) creators such as Xuan Xubuchi, Yuichiro Toide, and Hikaru Sakurai who have been able to achieve great achievements.

Starting your own business magazine gives you a window to showcase your company's work and a platform to attract excellent creators, which is a good thing.

However, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run.

Now the funds on hand of Qin Han need to be used to acquire Dongbao's shares, and there is no spare energy to invest in the publishing industry. In addition, if you want to quickly make a name for yourself and increase sales of a new magazine, you must have excellent content.

It was a good choice to serialize "fate/zero" in a new magazine. However, just one work is not enough to support the original magazine.

Therefore, Qin Han also needs to find a group of potential creators.

When all these things are ready, it's not too late to think about the magazine.

"Fujimoto-san,Of course, I want to participate in every CM fandom exhibition.,But I can't get out of the way.。 And for the development of the two series of Fate and Touhou, I also have other plans. ”

"Understand, understand. Looks like you're planning to completely commercialize these two series?" asked Shunsuke Fujimoto, with interest.

Tiger's Den is not only a doujinshi, but also a variety of commercial comics and magazines, which are also the focus of sales. For Shunsuke Fujimoto, as long as he can maintain a cooperative relationship with Qin Han, whether it is a commercial comic or doujinshi, he will make a lot of money.

"Yes, that's what I'm going to do. Qin Han said, "However, the specific plan is still in the making." When the time comes, I will inevitably ask you for help. ”

"Then I'll wait for Qin Sang's good news. Shunsuke Fujimoto seemed to have received a satisfactory answer, and his tone became relaxed and cheerful.

After finishing his business, he suddenly asked, "Qin Sang, are you free tonight?" I held a New Year's party at home, inviting a lot of people related to the animation and comic industry, and there are also many well-known cartoonists. If you're bored, why don't you come and have fun? Of course, you're welcome to bring your friends along. ”

"Party......"

The period from the end of the year to the beginning of the year is also the most intensive time for all kinds of gatherings and parties.

Qin Han participated in the New Year's party of Shueisha and Baiquan Club not long ago, in addition to eating and drinking, chatting with the cartoonists of the same society who are usually rare, and also brought home a brand-new PS3 in the lottery link.

"Well, I'll be there. Qin Han thought about it and agreed to Shunsuke Fujimoto's invitation.

Although he would prefer to stay at home and have a good rest, and maybe Yui Aragaki who finished her work tonight can go home to accompany him. However, it is good to take this opportunity to accumulate a little more contacts, which will also help you to run a magazine in the future.

"Great, then so be it, see you in the evening, Qin Sang. ”

After the call with Shunsuke Fujimoto ended, Qin Han called his manga artist friends and invited them to go with him.

Ken Obata had too much time at Christmas, and now he is in hell and has no time.

Araki Fei Luhiko took advantage of the New Year to go back to his hometown in Sendai, but he couldn't come.

The others also had their own reasons, and it was Inoue Yuhiko and Gui Zhenghe who finally agreed to go to the party with Qin Han.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Han drove to the apartment rented by two people in Nakano District to pick up people.

Although Inoue Yuhiko and Katsura Masakazu have now officially debuted in "Weekly Shonen Jump" and have become commercial cartoonists, earning a lot of money and not worrying about their livelihoods, but because they are too busy at work, the two of them don't even have time to take a driver's license and buy a car, and they still rely on the tram to travel, so they can only ask Qin Han today.

Shunsuke Fujimoto's home is in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture, near Tokyo, and he drives into Tokyo every day from the Metropolitan Expressway Wangan Line, commuting to work in less time than some wards in Tokyo.

Also, housing prices in Chiba Prefecture are much lower than in Tokyo. In the past, when Shunsuke Fujimoto came to Qin Han's house for the first time, after hearing the price of this high-end apartment in the port area, he once said quite proudly, "My villa is twice as big as your apartment, but the price is less than one-third", with a profiteer expression on his face.

When he arrived at Fujimoto's house, the sky had gradually darkened, and there were still vacant spaces in the temporary parking lot near the villa, which made Qin Han secretly say "It's good luck."

"Fujimoto-san's home is really nice. Gui Zhenghe looked at the beautiful modern style villa behind the red wall and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hmm. Inoue also nodded in agreement.

Qin Han smiled: "You two don't need to be so envious. With your ability, you will have a few more single books in the future, and you are afraid that you will not be able to afford such a villa?"

After making his debut with Tezuka's debut and serializing a few short and medium-length stories in the monthly magazine, Katsura Masakazu's debut novel "Movie Girl" serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" is now only six episodes, far from the time to publish a single book.

And Inoue Yuhiko's "Chameleon", although it adopted Qin Han's suggestion, its popularity gradually increased, and it also got rid of the fate of being cut in half, but now it has five single volumes, with an average sales volume of more than 600,000 copies, which is not bad, but it is not enough to be a "best-selling comic".

In this era of rapid development of the comic industry, only a young cartoonist who has reached an average of one million sales can be regarded as entering the house and entering the ranks.

Both Inoue Yuhiko and Gui Zhenghe have been able to rely on the income from drawing comics and live a relatively comfortable life, but they are far from reaching the level of "making a lot of money", so they are not interested in what Qin Han said, "buying a villa with a single book".

"For a villa like this, the cost of buying land and repairing the house will cost hundreds of millions. You have to make nine figures on royalties, and you can't ......," Inoue said.

"If other channels of comics were lucrative, they wouldn't need to sell so many single books. For example, "Sailor Moon", although as a shoujo manga, the sales are inherently difficult to compare with shonen manga, but the periphery sells very well, and the money earned by Naoko Takeuchi is no less than those manga artists who sell one or two million copies on average. Gui Zhenghe looked envious.
