Zhang Shaojie looked at Ma Rongcheng, who was so excited, smiled, helped him up, and said: "We are partners in the new company, and the shares are divided equally between five and five listen to me, I rarely interfere in the new comic company, and the main management tasks are all dependent on you." And the new company's entrepreneurial work is also your "Chinese Hero", as the pillar of the company, you take half of the shares, of course, in the future, it will also be used to convince the public! Otherwise, the newcomers to the company will naturally despise you if they just think that you are working for me! ”

With Zhang Shaojie's support, Ma Rongcheng got up, which was different from his previous frustration and frustration.

Now Ma Rongcheng has regained his fighting spirit and is full of hope for the future!

The most feared thing for a talented cartoonist is not that his popularity is sluggish, nor that he will not be appreciated, but that he is most afraid of losing his sharpness and confidence

When Ma Rongcheng was at the height of his spirit, he was able to create "Chinese Heroes" and "Fengyun", although the comics after that also had a certain quality, they were eating the old book, which was naturally not as good as in the heyday.

In fact, every outstanding literary and artistic creator has a peak period.

Historically, Huang Yi's peak period was to write "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and after "The Tang Dynasty", although Huang Yi still insisted on writing, he could not write such an influential work as "The Tang Dynasty" for more than ten years.

Soviet writer Sholokhov, in his 20s, wrote "The Quiet Don River" that shocked the world literary circle, and the writing of this work alone is enough to put countless families to shame. Because even if he is a writer, if he is not known for his literary brilliance, he can rarely compare with "The Quiet Don River" simply by comparing the beauty of the words. However, Sholokhov has not been able to write anything of this height since he wrote "The Silent Don".

Countless critics all over the world even believe that the actual author of "The Quiet Don" is someone else, and that Sholokhov is an impostor, and that the Soviets are rejoicing in their efforts to establish a new generation of writers.

Ma Rongcheng in history, there are only two peak masterpieces: "Chinese Heroes" and "Fengyun". Other comics, although it can't be said that the level has declined, but they are really not as sharp as "Chinese Heroes" and "Fengyun", and they have a surname!

In fact, the two pinnacle works of "Chinese Heroes" and "Fengyun" are enough.

These two comics themselves are huge brands, at least the film and television adaptations and gamification are extremely successful.

In the future, the film and television and game adaptations of the two works alone will be enough to greatly increase the content of copyright value.

Not to mention that when the two comics "Chinese Heroes" and "Fengyun" were serialized, Ma Rongcheng was able to earn an annual salary of 5 million. With his own efforts, he can create tens of millions of value in a year!

As long as Ma Rongcheng is a talent, fund Ma Rongcheng and set up a comic company, and make sure you don't lose money!

―――――――― Zhang Shaojie invested 1 million Hong Kong dollars in Ma Rongcheng and established a comic company. The name of the comic company is "Tianxia Publishing".

"The world?" Ma Rongcheng was puzzled.

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "Yes, it's the world!" Hong Kong is too small, and the ancient world was only China. But today, it is the global comic market, not only Hong Kong, but also Taiwan, the United States, Europe, any comic market, is our goal, this is the world! ”

Ma Rongcheng suddenly felt his blood boiling, and said, "Boss, I will definitely not disappoint your hopes!" ”

Zhang Shaojie waved his hand and said with a smile: "The company's shares, 50% of each of us, are equal, and you are also the boss." Just call me Shaojie in the future! ”

Ma Rongcheng was more restrained, but when he saw Zhang Shaojie so kind, he couldn't help but feel good, and said: "Shaojie Company was established, but I am the only main writer, if you want to ensure the quality of the serialization of "Chinese Heroes", it may only be published in the form of a monthly magazine!" ”

"Monthly?" Zhang Shaojie frowned, "No! Hong Kong comic readers are accustomed to weekly and biweekly magazines, and if it is monthly, it is difficult to stabilize its popularity, which is tantamount to driving away some impatient comic readers! ”

"So what to do? The outstanding painters in Hong Kong's painting world are basically in the Yulang Company, and even the art students of major schools have been signed by the Yulang Company. Those graduates, who will graduate and enter the industry in the future, are all people from Yulang Company, and now they can't find qualified people at all! Ma Rongcheng said bitterly.

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "Manpower? Simple! What do you think is needed to be a qualified painter? ”

Ma Rongcheng said: "Although there is a huge difference between the comic technique and the technique of traditional painters, the main style of comic is derived from the traditional sketch comic strip!" In the modern comics industry, although pencils, pens, and brushes are used in various tools, the most commonly used technique is sketching! ”

Zhang Shaojie laughed and said, "You are so stupid! Qualified manga artists may be hard to find, but it's hard to find someone who is proficient in drawing techniques such as sketching! In Chinese mainland, there are a large number of art graduates, and these art graduates are not as easy to find jobs as students in other disciplines! If, in the name of cultural exchanges, we can go to the mainland and ask the local government axe in the mainland to cooperate, recruit some students with art expertise, come to Hong Kong for exchanges and internships, and earn Hong Kong dollars and foreign exchange as the temptation, I think there will be local political axes willing to cooperate with us to recruit a group of qualified art students! ”

"That's right! Go to the mainland to recruit people! Ma Rongcheng said excitedly, "Many enterprises in Hong Kong such as clothing, toys, wigs, hotels and other enterprises recruit more than tens of thousands of temporary workers in the mainland to work in Hong Kong every year under various names!" Many workers in Hong Kong have a monthly salary of HK$1,000, and mainlanders are willing to work for HK$500 when they come to Hong Kong, and we can follow suit! Not to mention much, if 20 people can be recruited, then it is enough for "Chinese Heroes" to be released in the form of a weekly magazine! ”

Zhang Shaojie smiled at Ma Rongcheng with a teachable attitude, and said: "Other areas in the mainland may be more conservative!" However, I recommend you to visit some of the big cities in the Pearl River Delta, such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen! In those two areas, there are a large number of Hong Kong businessmen who invest and open factories, and there are also many Hong Kong people looking for job opportunities there. The local political axe attaches great importance to Hong Kong capital, and if you encounter problems, you can directly look for political axe help! ”

Ma Rongcheng nodded and said, "I know!" ”

Tianxia Publishing Company, in fact, Ma Rongcheng expired in the 90s, and became the first money-making writer in the Hong Kong comic industry through "Chinese Heroes". With a fortune of tens of millions, Xiao Ma Ge has an ambitious publishing organization.

Historically, the world publishing, because of the strong support of Ma Rongcheng's "Fengyun", the king of popularity, rose rapidly in the 90s and once became the first brother in the Hong Kong comic industry.

Later, before Huang Yulang's comeback, the Hong Kong art scene was basically Ma Rongcheng's world.

And Huang Yulang's newly formed Jade Dynasty in the 90s is slightly inferior to Ma Rongcheng's world.

In the end, the company that was originally Yulang International and later changed its name to "Culture Communication" gradually lost its influence in the comics market because of its entry into the IT industry.

Overall, in the mid-90s, the world, the Jade Dynasty, and the cultural communication of the three powers, dominated the Hong Kong market.

Of course, the originality of the world and the Jade Dynasty is very strong. And cultural communication is mainly based on old books. For example, in history, the copyright of Ma Rongcheng's "Chinese Heroes" was transmitted by culture. Culturecom has made a lot of profits by licensing TV series, movies, stand-alone games, and online games of "Chinese Heroes".

What makes Ma Rongcheng even more regretful is that after Ma Rongcheng left in "Chinese Heroes", Huang Yulang and others painted prequels, sequels, etc., which did not conform to Ma Rongcheng's intentions.

And after Huang Yulang left, the management of Culture Communication didn't understand comics and commanded indiscriminately, and they would only spoil the golden sign of "Chinese Heroes"!

Historically, Ma Rongcheng has constantly proposed to Culture Communication that he hopes to buy back the copyright of "Chinese Heroes" at a high price, indicating that he intends to redraw "Chinese Heroes", but Culture Communication would rather make this brand bad than return it to the original chief writer Ma Rongcheng.

Now that Tianxia Publishing has come out in advance, the copyright of "Chinese Heroes" has been in the hands of Tianxia Publishing Company from the beginning, presumably the kind of regret in history will not happen!

Of course, in the 90s, Hong Kong was in a talent shortage. At the same time, a large number of comic and art talents have emerged in the comic industry in the mainland. It's a pity that the businessmen who make comics in the mainland are pirated and genuine together. When the policy cracked down on pirated comics, the vast majority of comic publishing and distribution institutions in the mainland were wiped out. A large number of cartoonists and studios who make a living from this have to find a way to OEM comics and anime. "Conan", "Naruto", "One Piece", "Saint Seiya", and "Bleach are basically the vast majority of popular manga and anime, and there are a large number of records of Chinese anime people OEM".

What's even more shocking is that Blizzard's "World of Warcraft," which is known for its high-quality products and bounced tickets, has also been OEM by a Chinese online game company.

Although, the technology of Chinese online games is not as good as that of Europe and the United States. However, everyone on the earth knows that China's art technology is the first in the world, and the copycat technology is also the first in the world. As long as the semi-finished products are handed over to the Chinese foundry, the Chinese foundry team will soon complete the products with the spirit of copycats and quality and quantity!

With a population of more than 1 billion people in China, there is no shortage of talents, only a lack of Bole to discover talents!

Zhang Shaojie gave Ma Rongcheng a chance to develop, and this time Ma Rongcheng went to the mainland to recruit talents, obviously to give many young people in China who have comic dreams an opportunity to enter the original comic industry!
