The most content in "Game Concentration Camp" is the introduction of Nintendo and Sega games, and there are also articles like "Sega vs. Nintendo", "Ten Years of Brilliant Nintendo", "Exploring Nintendo", and the editor-in-chief Xunfeng originally mentioned the two interviews may not appear in the magazine because of time relations, Zhang Lexing quickly finished the magazine, and then carefully received it in his drawer and locked it, this is going to be a collection in the future, of course, it must be protected.

After putting away the magazine, Zhang Lexing got up and planned to go downstairs to buy something, and when he passed by the front desk, he noticed that Lu Qiuya was sitting there and seemed to be reading something, so he planned to lean over to see what was so good-looking, but Lu Qiuya was startled, and she was still panicking and wanted to put away the book in her hand.

Zhang Lexing stretched out his hand and pressed it on the book, and said, "What is so mysterious, take it out and take a look." ”

Lu Qiuya's face turned red all of a sudden, and while handing over the book, she begged timidly: "Boss, I was wrong, I shouldn't read idle books when I go to work, for the sake of my first offense, you must be merciful, just let me go." ”

Zhang Lexing took the book, and when he looked at the first issue of the trial issue of "The King of Picture Books", which was known as the first comic magazine in the mainland, he didn't care about Lu Qiuya, nodded casually, took the book and walked away, leaving only the confused Lu Qiuya there.

"This boss, just nodding, I don't know if he really let me go." Lu Qiuya looked at Zhang Lexing's distant back and muttered, and suddenly she looked at her empty hand and exclaimed, "Ah, my book." The boss is really, he took the book away without saying anything, how to be virtuous with the teacher at the school. What can I do now, the book is not mine, if I don't go back, how can I see people with a face, it seems that I can only go to the bookstall to see it again, I hope there is still stock. ”

It's a pity that Zhang Lexing had already walked back to his office at this time, how did he know that there was still Lu Qiuya muttering behind him......

"Picture Book King" is simply known as the King of Painting, which is said to be the first comic magazine in Chinese mainland. Founded this year (1993), it was published by Ningxia People's Publishing House, with Wang Yongsheng as editor-in-chief, and Sichuan Hope Bookstore in charge of sales. The piracy of Japanese comics is said to have started in the early 90s, with Hainan Photography and Art Publishing House having the greatest influence, and later Ningxia People's Publishing House as a rising star. Sichuan Hope Bookstore claims to be the largest pirate in China, and its distribution network is called the "third channel", covering all parts of the country (except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), and is even more complete than "Xinhua Bookstore".

The first issue of the trial issue of "The King of Picture Books" that Zhang Lexing read is indeed the same as the legend, sponsored by Ningxia People's Publishing House, edited by Wang Yongsheng, and distributed by Sichuan Hope Bookstore. Zhang Lexing watched "The King of Picture Books" from the ninth issue, and he had the impression that this magazine was serialized with several Japanese comics plus some comics from other regions plus some comic teaching, and what he was most interested in at that time was the serialization of Japanese comics ("Dragon Ball", "Ranma 1/2", "Football Player", etc.). At that time, I watched other people's pirated copies, but unfortunately this life became my own, and Zhang Lexing's mood when reading books was very different.

For comic book lovers of this period, seeing "Picture Book King" is like finding a home, and the feeling of video game lovers seeing "Game Concentration Camp" is almost the same. It's a pity that "The King of Picture Books" was unlucky, and for various reasons, it only lasted for a year before it was suddenly suspended, and it only took pity on the lost mood of many comic friends who had just found the organization.

The printing quality of the "Picture Book King" that Zhang Lexing read is not high, and there seems to be a certain gap between the "Game Concentration Camp" he just saw, but the content is quite exciting. Two Japanese comics serialized, Masami Cheda's "Jing Fighter Xiang", and Yoichi Takahashi's "Football Player", are actually Shueisha's, although they are still Japanese comics, but they are all Zhang Lexing's. Some people say that "The King of Picture Books" was founded for pirating Japanese comics, but Zhang Lexing doesn't think so, just looking at the content of the first issue, you know, in addition to two Japanese comics, there are two original comics by domestic authors, plus comics by Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and there is a special solicitation of original works on the second page, but at this time it is not called a comic but a new type of comic book. Regardless of the original intention of the one-stop piracy of Ningxia People's Publishing House and Sichuan Hope Bookstore, Zhang Lexing believes that at least the editorial department of "Picture Book King" led by Wang Yongsheng, editor-in-chief, is very supportive of original comics from the mainland.

It is said that pirated Japanese comics are one of the reasons for the disappearance of "The King of Picture Books", since it is now in his own hands, Zhang Lexing does not want history to repeat itself again, at least the editorial department of "The King of Picture Books" that supports the original comics of the mainland cannot disappear, it seems that the people of Kunpeng Animation have to come to Beijing and have a good chat with the people of the editorial department of "The King of Picture Books".

There are two reasons why Zhang Lexing pays so much attention to this "Picture Book King": one is that in the later stage of "Picture Book King", there was a mainland original comic contest for a period of time, and a number of relatively good original comics were launched, such as Yan Kai's "Snow Coconut" (the most popular set of comics in the early days, which influenced quite a lot of people), Chen Xiang's "Xiaoshan Diary" (a very Toriyama Ming style comic, the early story was quite funny), etc., but unfortunately because of the disappearance of "The King of Picture Books", a large number of start-up authors lost their foothold. Later, I moved to a new manga magazine, but I don't seem to be able to get back to my original feeling. Zhang Lexing hopes to use the platform of "Picture Book King" to truly develop the original comics in the mainland and form an industry with its own style.

The second reason is because anime and games are two very closely related industries, and it is a pity that they support each other and develop together. Although Zhang Lexing has mastered Shogakukan and Shueisha, the two Chuqiao in the Japanese comic industry, this is just a good channel to make money, and it is not of much help to Zhang Lexing's original intention of developing the mainland game industry, only when the mainland original comic industry develops, can it bring real help to the mainland game industry, such as the transplantation between animation and games. And a good cartoonist is also a great help to game companies in terms of art, such as Akira Toriyama and the "Dragon Quest" series, Yoshitaka Amano and the "Final Fantasy" series, and even this issue of "Picture Book King" has one - Taiwan's Zheng Wen, the characters in "Zheng Wen's Three Kingdoms" produced by GAMEARTS are from the pen of Master Zheng, Zhang Lexing hopes that one day such characters will appear in the mainland comic industry.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lexing picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Beijing office of Oriental Holdings, and the person who answered the phone was the one who was on duty in Beijing.

"I saw a new manga magazine with our company's comics, Masami Cheda's "Sho Jing" and Yoichi Takahashi's "Soccer Player", which are from our Shueisha side, you can contact the Hong Kong side to see if there is any authorization."

"Okay, boss, tell me what kind of magazine it is." The voice of * came from the phone.

"The King of Picture Books, you can go to the bookstall to find it, if you really can't find it, I have a copy here."

"Okay, boss, I'll do it right away."

"The editorial office of this magazine is in Beijing, and when you contact the Hong Kong side, remember to tell them that the editorial department will try to talk about cooperation here, and there is no authorization to provide it to them, and it is best to develop the animation industry in the mainland based on this magazine. The publishing house of this magazine is located in Ningxia, and it is possible to talk about cooperation appropriately, and if it is not possible to negotiate, it will be eliminated together with the Sichuan Hope Bookstore, a pure pirate, and it is a big deal to find a suitable publishing house and distribution channel again, but this matter should not be rushed, and it must not affect the operation of "The King of Picture Books". Okay, let's contact Kunpeng Anime first. After Zhang Lexing finished dealing with him, he hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lexing picked up "The King of Picture Books" again and revisited it. Masami Cheda's works are still very classic, Yoichi Takahashi's works look very enthusiastic, Zheng Wen's "Hate to Swallow the World - Qin Shi Huang" is really very much in the style of "Zheng Wen's Three Kingdoms", Wang Yongsheng and Tan Xiaochun's "Pan Tao Hui" Although it still has the style of a comic book, the story is still relatively interesting, Chen Jun (mistakenly printed as a formation army in the book) 's "Heavenly Sword" is very general, but the story still has a certain depth. In general, the originality of mainland comic authors is still very immature, but there is always more hope for a start, Zhang Lexing wants to advance the original comic contest in the later stage of "Picture Book King", hoping to bring more development opportunities to many comic book lovers, one day "Picture Book King" can become the mainland's "Youth Jump", and those comic book lovers can also become comic masters.

While looking and thinking, Zhang Lexing's office was pushed open a crack, revealing half of Lu Qiuya's body, and she shouted timidly: "Boss, can you give me back the book."

Hearing the voice, Zhang Lexing looked up, and then remembered that the "Picture Book King" in his hand was taken from Lu Qiuya, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "This book is quite good, Lu Qiuya, can you lend it to me?" ”

Lu Qiuya pushed open the door and came to Zhang Lexing's desk, and pleaded with a bitter face: "Boss, this book is not mine, I borrowed it from a friend, and I promised to return it to her in the evening, if I can't get it, I will lose my trust." Please, can the boss give me back the book. ”

It seems that this book can't be kept, so Zhang Lexing has to find another way: "Okay, this book will be returned to you first." But Lu Qiuya, I'll give you a task to help me buy three or five copies of the first issue of the trial issue of "The King of Picture Books", of course, you don't have to pay for it. If you do that, I can be blamed for the previous things, and I can send you a book, how about it? ”

Lu Qiuya thought for a while, who let her handle be in the hands of others, and finally had to nod and agree, took the twenty yuan in Zhang Lexing's hand and the book "The King of Picture Books", and prepared to go to the bookstall after work to hunt for treasures.

Zhang Lexing originally thought that there should be a result when there was a matter of buying books in two or three days, but he didn't expect to wait for two weeks, and Lu Qiuya didn't know where to get back the first issue of the trial issue of the five "Picture Book King", at this time, the people of Hong Kong Kunpeng Animation had already come to Beijing for two days, because it was difficult to come to the door without a book in his hand, but fortunately, Lu Qiuya did not let Zhang Lexing wait too long.

Next, contact with the editorial department of "Picture Book King", as well as send lawyer's letters to publishers and distributors, these things don't need Zhang Lexing to run before and after, and people with their own Kunpeng Animation and Oriental Holdings can worry about their brains, and Zhang Lexing can put his mind on his company's games again.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is September. During this period, Kunpeng Animation and the editorial department of "Picture Book King" reached some preliminary intentions, such as the provision of legally authorized comic series by Kunpeng Animation (which also includes affiliated enterprises such as Shueisha and Baiquan Society), and the investment of "Picture Book King" by Dongfang Holdings under the legal framework, mainly to fund the development of original comics in mainland China. The contact on the other side was not ideal, the Ningxia People's Publishing House did not respond to the lawyer's letter, visited but did not receive it, and the Sichuan Hope Bookstore disappeared without a trace, making people feel as if they had punched the air. It seems that the development of original comics in the mainland cannot be solved overnight, and the problem of piracy is not something that can be swept away by a single company, so the personnel of Kunpeng Animation and Oriental Holdings in Beijing simply stayed, on the one hand, they continued to keep in touch with the editorial department of "Picture Book King", and on the other hand, they tried to use government channels to control the increasingly violent comic piracy, and the Beijing office of Oriental Holdings was upgraded to a joint office of Oriental Holdings and Kunpeng Animation.
