Chapter 71: Comic Con and the "Tang Dynasty" comic book version

Hong Kong can't stop "cute"!

Yulang International can't stop "cute"!

Zhang Shaojie released the monster of Meng Culture ten years in advance!

And consciously guide Hong Kong's cos group to practice selling cute, not only for Hong Kong, a slap-sized market, but for the broader goal of turning over the otaku and earning yuan!

As a reborn, Zhang Shaojie certainly knows that among the otaku in the world, "the stupidest people and the most money" is the place that is the book!

The whole house, the industry related to the house culture, for the economy, even more than the steel, chemical and other industries, has become a major core industry.

Of course, although there are animation products with global influence such as "Robot Cat" and "Astro Boy", the core industry of Yuben at this time is still dominated by manufacturing, and the political axe of Yuben does not pay as much attention to cultural industries such as animation as much as it did later.

Therefore, if Hong Kong Man goes against the sky and develops rapidly, using the strategic weapon of "selling cute", it may not be impossible to counterattack the animation industry!

In fact, Meng is not born, but is trained wrongly, and is consciously trained.

For the models of the Gyokuro cos group.

Will you die if you don't sell moe?

No!

But if you don't sell cuteness, you'll lose your job!

Therefore, the members of the entire COS group, forget about the male surname, anyway, it is nothing more than some Zhengtai, uncles, and one or two pseudo-mothers.

If you are a girl, you are mostly black and straight, with a small round face, a vitality girl, a natural stay, a tsundere girl and the like

The entire COS group may be the most cute place in Hong Kong and the world.

Because, there are not only Hong Kong film and television industry performers here.

More importantly, Zhang Shaojie, a reborn who has seen the house culture, pointed out the direction.

On the premise that there will be no problems in the general direction!

Sprout!

I want to sell cute!

If you don't sell cute, you'll die!

and so on, in-depth into the training of the team.

Zhang Shaojie smiled and looked at this group of cute and energetic cos group models!

The world is theirs and ours, but in the final analysis, it's about selling cuteness!

——————

Huang Yulang, who is in his early thirties, is an ambitious boss and a diligent painter. In fact, he has thought that he can make money just by managing hundreds of people under his command and running a company.

However, many years of career as a cartoonist have made the drawing skills deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and if you don't draw for a few days, you will feel uncomfortable.

During this period of time, with the help of the models of the "Yulang COS Group", Huang Yulang's redrawn character began to be no longer as one-sided as his previous character.

In the latest comic version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Kou Zhong in the early days makes people look at it at a glance, although he is immature, he has an ambition and momentum.

And Xu Ziling's handsomeness can be said to be very rare in Hong Kong comics today.

Other women, Fu Junwu, Su Su, Yun Yuzhen, Shan Wanjing, Shang Xiuxun, are all beautiful, and all of them have unique charm.

Huang Yulang complained a little bitterly: "Shaojie, you are the most difficult writer to serve, and the pressure to paint your "Tang Dynasty" is really great. Not only do you have to supervise through your discerning eyes, but you also have to withstand the pressure of the readers! The comic "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has not yet been officially released, and there are countless warning letters from readers! ”

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "Oh, warning letter? How to say! ”

Huang Yulang showed a sad look: "There are big people among your readers, who say - if you want to draw badly, you will get rid of all the cartoons of Yulang International in Hong Kong"

"Who, don't bluff, right?"

"Who this man is, I can't say! But he is definitely a cow, and he really has the ability to catch up with Yulang International! ”

Zhang Shaojie was a little speechless.

"The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was only published more than ten years in advance, and I didn't expect the effect to be much better than when Huang Yi was published!

When Huang Yi wrote "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Wen Ruian first competed with him.

Later, there was the "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" by the long-form science fiction master Yoshiki Tanaka, and the "Heroes" by Taiwanese martial arts writer Sun Xiao to compete for word of mouth!

Although, the average martial arts reader affirmed the achievements of Wen Ruian and Huang Yi, and called the era after Jin Yong and Gu Long the "Wen Huang period"!

However, fans of "Heroes" don't think so, their slogan is - "Jin Yong sealed the pen and passed away, and there are only heroes in the world!" ”

This part of the readers, directly ignoring the readership of Huang Yi and Wen Ruian, and boasting that "Heroes" is second only to Jin Yong and Gu Long, is undoubtedly a bit overblown!

The reason why Jin Yong and Gu Long are masters is not because they are recognized by niche readers, but because they are recognized on the basis of hundreds of millions of readers.

And the kind of "Heroes", only a small number of fans, who have read "Heroes" and flaunt their tastes, can't help but make people feel funny.

"The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", which was published more than ten years in advance, can sell 350,000 copies per episode in this era.

In addition to the readers of newspapers and magazines, and the readers who rent bookstores to borrow books, the readership group covers more than one million people!

On the premise that there is no competition from the works of Wen Ruian and Yoshiki Tanaka.

If you ignore the views of a few hostile book critics, then "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" can be regarded as a masterpiece with both word-of-mouth and popularity!

Every episode of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was published and released, and there was no suspense that it topped the list of new book circulation in the same period.

In the magazine "Martial Arts and History", serializations, book reviews, and discussions about "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", as well as the short story "Datang" fanfiction written by readers, have also occupied more than half of the magazine's paper space!

It is precisely for this reason that the current Huang Yulang's painting "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is, on the one hand, able to benefit from the popularity and reputation of the "Tang Dynasty" novel.

On the other hand, Huang Yulang also has to bear the pressure brought to him by the readers of "Datang"!

Once the painting is not good, it will give people the feeling of destroying a masterpiece, and it will definitely be attacked and resisted like never before!

Huang Yulang's advantage is that he is good at drawing scenes related to blood and fights.

However, sometimes in order to rush the manuscript, Yulang Agency adopts an "assembly line work" - there are special people to do the background atmosphere, trace hair and flower shirts, and some people specially paint muscle textures

With such an overemphasis on division of labor and cooperation, the efficiency is improved, but sometimes, in order to catch up with the manuscript, it is inevitable that there will be a bit of a thousand people!

The comic version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is rarely repeated in terms of character settings.

At present, dozens of characters have been set, and none of the faces are repeated.

Such quality is already worthy of Zhang Shaojie's praise!

The first issue of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", the first issue of the first issue, has been drawn.

In this issue, although it is also a division of labor and cooperation, and the assembly line operation, more than ten painters painted together. However, most of the tasks were drawn by Huang Yulang himself.

Therefore, the comic version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" looks more amazing!

It can be said that the style takes into account the enthusiasm of "Dragon Tiger Gate", as well as the style of Chinese ink comics and martial arts movies!

Later, "Chinese Heroes" was able to sell 200,000 copies, because of the realistic style and movie-like picture sense.

Now, under the guidance of Zhang Shaojie, the comic version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" painted by Huang Yulang also has a certain realistic style similar to "Chinese Heroes" in advance!

"Brother Yulang, when are you going to release it?" Zhang Shaojie asked.

Huang Yulang smiled and said, "Next week!" I plan to hold the Yulang Comic Exhibition this week, in addition to promoting "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and some other products of the company, and more importantly, to promote the comic version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"! At the Comic Con, 500 copies of the inaugural issue will be given away in advance! And next Monday, the first issue of the comic "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" will be officially released! ”

At this time, Hong Kong Man was not as domineering as it was in the late 80s. As the leader of Hong Kong comics, Huang Yulang's pure net worth is only more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars. More than 70% of his assets are shares of Yulang International Company, and it took Huang Yulang more than ten years to earn such assets.

And this year, Huang Yulang cooperated with Zhang Shaojie, and in just a few months, it brought more than 4 million yuan of operating income and 2 million yuan of profit to Yulang International Company!

As Yulang International Company, a huge cash cow, Huang Yulang naturally obeyed Zhang Shaojie's words!

General affairs, big and small, as long as Zhang Shaojie proposes it, will not affect the normal operation of Yulang International Company, and Huang Yulang will humbly obey it.

"Good! I wish the inaugural issue of "Datang" comics a big sale! Zhang Shaojie said with a smile.
