Chapter 62: "Bosom Friend" (Collect!!) )
"In the 70s, there was a meteorologist named Lorenz in the United States, who once said when explaining the theory of the air system that an occasional vibration of a butterfly's wings in the Amazon rainforest might cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later, which is the so-called 'butterfly effect'. I chose this name because I hope that our studio, and every employee in this studio, will become a butterfly, and we will not only set off a storm on the other side of the ocean, but also blow this storm to the world! ”
Wei Ting stood up, poured Coke into everyone's glasses, and then raised her glass and said, "Cheers!" I encourage you! ”
"Cheers!"
The other four people all raised their glasses, and their emotions were also stirred by Wei Ting's words.
Zheng ......
The five wine glasses clinked together and made a crisp sound, if they originally got together just to go into the sea to test the waters, now they really see a goal...... Some people may not realize it yet, but they have begun to work in this direction unconsciously.
The studio's signature is a beautiful rainforest landscape and a few butterflies fluttering. However, when discussing the name of the magazine, I encountered a little trouble, such as "Anime World", "Anime World" and the like, and made a lot of them, and they all caught up with the scene of naming the newborn.
"There are dreams in youth, and love in youth...... How about I call it 'Bosom Friend'? Wei Ting's eyes rolled and she thought of the name of a famous comic publication in later generations.
The text is copied publicly, and it is easy to copy and copy.
When Wei Ting was a primary school student, she liked to read comics, especially admiring Huang Yulang, the famous godfather of comics in Hong Kong.
At the age of 9, Huang Yulang began to contribute to the comic pages of newspapers and magazines, and at the age of 11, his debut "girl" was finally published, and at the age of 14, he borrowed 1,000 yuan from his father to publish a comic book called "Joke World". However, "Joke World" only ran out of 5 issues before it was discontinued due to poor sales.
But Huang Yulang was not discouraged, and a year later he started his second business, founding Entertainment Comics Daily, only to discontinue publication three months later.
More than a year later, Huang Yulang used the remuneration earned from more than a year of hard work to paint, and founded "Novelty Comics Daily". This time, Huang Yulang finally succeeded, and soon after its publication, the daily circulation of this daily newspaper exceeded 12,000 copies!
Hong Kong's population base is there, and the time is very far away, in 1967, the circulation of 12,000 copies is very strong!
If it can be managed well, it is not impossible that the circulation of these 12,000 copies will become 120,000 points or more.
However, due to the shortage of comic talents in Hong Kong at that time, so there was a shortage of comic manuscripts, Huang Yulang had no sense of cultivating newcomers, and the purchasing power of Hong Kong people decreased in 67, Huang Yulang's third venture failed again.
It stands to reason that after experiencing such three entrepreneurial failures, Huang Yulang should honestly be an ordinary cartoonist, and then honestly draw comics for the publishing house or something, but Huang Yulang has been defeated and defeated again and again in the following years, and has always tried to fight for his own world......
In 1979, Wong Yuk Lang finally accumulated enough funds to set up 'Yu Lang International Limited', an ambitious recruitment to look at the entire Hong Kong comic market.
In 1986, 'Yulang International Co., Ltd.) was officially listed, and its market value immediately increased by 20 times after listing!
Under the pressure of Yulang International, which unified almost all the top Hong Kong cartoonists, Riman at that time was in Hong Kong, and the market share was basically negligible, and only Hong Kong comics were dominant.
It's a pity that in the 87 Hong Kong stock market crash, Yulang International faced a takeover crisis, and in order to keep his country, Huang Yulang made false financial accounts, and was found to be imprisoned.
With Huang Yulang's imprisonment, Yulang International fell apart, while Riman took the opportunity to make a comeback and successfully occupy the market......
According to the development of history, Huang Yulang will not be released from prison until 93 years, and in order to reorganize the old rivers and mountains, he began to establish the 'Jade Dynasty' - Jade Dynasty Culture Publishing Group Co., Ltd.
Only then, although there are still setbacks, Huang Yulang regained the supreme throne by adapting Jin Yong's martial arts novel series of comics, as well as comics such as "The Son of Heaven" and "Divine Soldier Xuanqi"!
Huang Yulang, a poor boy who was originally penniless, eventually became a pivotal cultural tycoon in Hong Kong.
From the mainstream Hong Kong comics led by Huang Yulang, we can see a strong patriotic heart, and some Hong Kong people in later generations are far stronger and more extreme patriotic than the mainland, which is not unrelated to these Hong Kong comics.
In her previous life, Wei Ting only liked it because she liked it, and it was only when she was in the United States and endured all kinds of injustices that she felt it for the first time...... Huang Yulang was not only an excellent cartoonist and businessman, but also a national hero, because he dared to challenge the Japanese comics that dominated the anime market at that time!
However, Wei Ting also knows very well that unlike Huang Yulang, she does not have so much talent, and she is not so ambitious, she only has foresight and some information, and the desire to live a clear life in this life. Therefore, she would rather be a copyist, representing the moon, and taking away all those Japanese and foreigners owed. As for those who were accidentally injured by gunfire, Wei Ting could only pray for them silently.
"That's a good name, that's it!" Bai Xue repeated it several times, but she felt that this name was the most catchy, and immediately made a decision, "If a company wants to have cohesion and development potential, it must first have its soul, and the eight-character mantra that the butterfly said just now is the soul of our publication." Come, cheers to our Bosom Friend! ”
"Cheers!" The crowd raised their glasses again......
According to Bai Xue's meaning, in the afternoon, you can go to see the scenery of Shanghai, or take a break, and pour jet lag, but Wei Ting has no love for the scenery or something, and jet lag is not a problem, she first got the sound card and computer in the afternoon, and then tinkered with Ah Zhe until midnight, until the equipment was fully debugged.
"I'm really old, and I can't keep up with the energy of you young people." Ah Zhe said with a yawn.
"Brother Azhe, where are you old, you did all the heavy work just now." Wei Ting said.
"Yes, Brother Azhe, this time it's really hard for you, I'll invite you for supper." Lin Ruocheng said on the side.
"Then you're welcome."
