According to the market situation of Hong Kong Man, it can sell 25,000 copies, which should already be regarded as a little red! Each issue can sell 50,000 copies, which should be considered a big seller!

If you can sell 50,000 copies and publish them at the speed of a weekly magazine, then the main writer of the comic can get an annual salary of more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars!

The inaugural issue of "Chinese Heroes" - sold 25,000 copies in three days! Selling 50,000 copies, there should be hope! Ma Ronghuacheng gave up the annual remuneration of one million authors, but according to the company's current profits, he can earn 5 million a year, and Ma Rongcheng, who owns half of the shares, has more than two or three million.

Not long ago, Ma Rongcheng was still an aspiring painter, but now after being promoted by Zhang Shaojie, he has achieved such great success. Ma Rongcheng's gratitude to Zhang Shaojie cannot be expressed in words, so he can only put it in his heart, and repay Zhang Shaojie's kindness by working hard to draw "Chinese Heroes" and run the company well.

Although there are more than 30 painters in the current Tianxia Publishing Company, most of the painters are still studying and running-in. From a traditional painter to a cartoonist, everyone still has a long way to go.

In addition to the professional painters cultivated by the company who can adapt to the team's cooperation and division of labor.

Zhang Shaojie felt that a journal should be set up for cartoonists to submit articles to cultivate and discover amateur painters in society. Among the amateur painters, there are also Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons, and there are many talents, but there are only many such talents, who have no chance to emerge, and are buried by history.

Shueisha has "Weekly Shonen Jump", Shogakukan has "Weekly Shonen Sunday", and Kodansha has "Weekly Shonen Magazine".

It is said that the three major juvenile comic journals in the art world, plus other second-rate and third-rate periodicals, have built a mechanism for effectively discovering talents and making blood from afar.

Hong Kong's comics industry also has enduring comics such as Huang Yulang's "Dragon Tiger Gate" and Ma Rongcheng's "Chinese Hero", but there is always a talent shortage in the Hong Kong comics industry.

If all those first-class gods retire, the entire Hong Kong Man will hardly find a talent that can compare with his predecessors.

But every year in this comic, a bunch of great gods will emerge, and a great god will retire, and more excellent painters will replace their predecessors at any time. This development trend of "the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves" is the secret of the comic industry being able to stand at the top of the world.

The talent training mechanism of the comic industry is the core competitiveness that is more worthy of learning from Hong Kong comics than the creativity and techniques of the comics.

"Comic journals? Like "Good News" and "Qingbao"? Ma Rongcheng responded well to the inaugural issue of "Chinese Heroes" and began to be full of confidence.

Zhang Shaojie shook his head and said: "Similar to those "Juvenile Magazine", "Juvenile Jump", "Juvenile Sunday" or something like this Juvenile Manga Weekly, we have to set a tone - struggle, friendship, inspirational!" Manuscripts are also mainly accepted in line with our purpose. ”

The three major tones of "struggle, friendship, and inspiration" are actually the reproduction of "Youth Jump" - "friendship, hard work, and victory".

It is precisely because of adhering to the three tenets of "friendship, hard work, and victory" that "Shonen Jump" has gradually become the first comic journal.

"Dragon Ball", "Saint Seiya", "Chess Soul", "Dream Eater", "Soccer Player", "One Piece", "Naruto", "Bleach Reaper", "Yuyu Hakusho", "Full-time Hunter" and other popular works in the manga industry over the years are all from "Weekly Shonen Jump"!

Ma Rongcheng said: "What if the submitted work is very good, but the style does not meet the purpose of our comic journal? ”

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "Extremely excellent works, not among them!" ”

The so-called purpose is valid in most cases. However, if you encounter exceptionally outstanding talents, you can be admitted exceptionally.

For example, Weekly Shonen Jump not only values the artist's popularity, but also the artist's diligence and perseverance. A painter who can constantly renew is always looked at differently by the editorial department of "Weekly Shonen Jump". And many painters with bad character, "Weekly Shonen Jump" even resolutely stopped accepting their manuscripts.

However, cartoonists like Yoshihiro Tomiyatsu, works such as "Full-time Hunter" and "Youyou Hakusho" often skip tickets and break updates, and sometimes a work may be broken and skipped for months or years!

However, Yoshihiro Tomiyasu, who has nothing to say, resumed serialization, and fans continued to support it without reservation. Yoshihiro Tomiyatsu, an unrestrained painter, because of the connivance of fans, the editorial department of "Weekly Shonen Jump" is also helpless against him. It can't be suppressed, and it's not easy to block!

Although the world publishing company also encourages "diligence" and does not advocate "unbridled behavior", if there is really a king of bouncing tickets like Fujian Yoshihiro, it can only be recognized.

Zhang Shaojie and Ma Rongcheng discuss the details of the comic journal.

"What about the name of Weekly Shonen Manga?" Ma Rongcheng said suddenly.

Zhang Shaojie thought about it carefully and said, "Yes, but I still don't think it's easy to read."

"What about Anime Shonen?" Ma Rongcheng meditated.

Manga and animation are actually not separated.

Because of talent constraints, Hong Kong comic companies have not been upgraded to animation companies.

But according to Zhang Shaojie's plan, Tianxia Publishing Company has begun to ponder the core technology of animation such as "intermediate painting". When you have thoroughly mastered the core technologies such as "intermediate painting" and "clay model", then it is logical that you will animate the adaptation of its popular comics!

Therefore, the name "Anime Boy" is also reasonable.

"Okay, this term sounds much more pleasant to the ear!" Zhang Shaojie praised.

Periodicals for the purpose of cultivating talents are naturally much thicker than individual comics!

Hong Kong's single-line comics, such as "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Chinese Heroes", are only about 40 pages per issue. Some comics that are not selling well, in order to save costs, only a thin 30 pages in one issue.

"Anime Boys" is intended to train more painters and dedicate the freshest comics to readers. So one issue has at least 600 pages, and the price is 30 yuan a copy.

In the future, the lowest price of 25 yuan per painting will be given to painters who are ready to submit, and the price of several hundred Hong Kong dollars per painting can be given to high-quality and well-known painters.

The company supports the publication of a single book by the painters who perform well in "Anime Boy", or the reading power is serialized in the form of periodicals.

Now, of course, the comic journal is only in the plan.

At least until "Chinese Heroes" is serialized for several months, the popularity can be stabilized, and the world publishing company will obtain the first stable financial source to open up "Anime Boy", which is a new position.

Instead of selling four or five million copies per issue like Weekly's Shonen Jump, it should be a seemingly achievable goal

―――――――― the sudden rise of "Chinese Heroes", Huang Yulang had to pay attention to it! Although, according to the market analysis of Yulang Institution, the sales volume of "Chinese Heroes" is about 20,000~50,000.

But that's just three days!

It is conservatively estimated that the inaugural issue of "Chinese Heroes" can sell at least 50,000 copies!

"Ma Rongcheng, Ma Rongcheng" Huang Yulang couldn't help but show one of the regrets on his face.

Although "Chinese Heroes" is far from enough to threaten the hegemony of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Yulang International is also preparing for a comic adaptation of Jin Yong's novel, which will further consolidate Yulang International's market share.

In fact, a few years ago, Jin Yong authorized "Liancheng Jue" to Shangguan Xiaobao of the 82 Painting Society to adapt it. However, because "Liancheng Jue" itself is a relatively unpopular work among Jin Yong's novels, the comic adaptation can only sell thousands of copies.

In the unsuccessful cooperation of "Liancheng Jue", Jin Yong only got a total of tens of thousands of yuan of adaptation authorization.

It is precisely because of this that the first unsuccessful comic adaptation cooperation made Jin Yong not have much interest in the Hong Kong comic industry, and he has not cooperated with comic companies for a long time.

However, the Hong Kong comic in the 1980s is a market, which is undoubtedly several times larger than the market when "Liancheng Jue" was adapted in the mid-70s!

Moreover,The current output value of the Hong Kong comic industry is growing rapidly at a rate of more than 30% every year,Every time a strong comic emerges,It can quickly drive the scale expansion of the entire industry。

Huang Yulang believes that the adaptation of Jin Yong's novels such as "Dragon Babu" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a super popular work, and after its release, it will once again consolidate Yulang International's market share!

"Whether it's Shangguan Xiaobao or Ma Rongcheng! No matter how talented they are? The best painters in Hong Kong's art scene, I have already won eighty percent! It is basically impossible to train new painters without two or three years! Hmph, a "Bruce Lee" and a "Chinese Hero" are mixed up with food! My scale, my territory, is not something you can shake! ”

Huang Yulang looked at the drawing paper coldly, and quickly drew a line draft with a superb brush: """Dragon Babu" will be released this month, and next month, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be released!" At that time, "Dragon and Tiger Gate", "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", "Dragon Babu", and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will form the trend of the four famous novels, and all kinds of miscellaneous fish are only worthy of eating some leftovers! ”

Yulang institution, everyone touted it one after another.

"Master is wise!"

"Those juniors, if they want to go against the sky, they are still a little bit behind!"

"They think that the protagonist in their comics, with a random beard, can go against the sky?"

"In the Hong Kong art world, only you can beat the crowd and sit firmly on the top spot!"

Huang Yulang laughed in the praise of everyone and said, "Okay, let's beat those rabble with results!" In addition, the stage of Hong Kong is too small, and in the future, I will lead you to set up branches all over Asia. At that time, a large number of feudal officials will inevitably be promoted! Follow me Huang Yulang, the future is even more ambitious than you think! ”

Hearing the heroic promise of the "Yulang Emperor", both the "Three Musketeers" and the "Royal Forest Army" were greatly inspired. One by one, they are vying to show off their skills, so that the "Emperor" Huang Yulang knows that he is a useful talent!
