It has been a week since the official release of the comic version of "Zhu Xian", in which "Zhu Xian" has become the hottest topic in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, because its incomparable delicate painting style has made Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, which are still at the level of Hong Kong comics in the seventies and eighties, lose their voices for a while, followed by surging discussions and admiration.

"Hey, Lang Lang, do you know how many copies of the comic book version of "Zhu Xian" have been sold now?" Qi Wenjie's excited voice came from the phone, and his vocal cords seemed to be trembling.

"Listen to your voice, you know that it must be selling well, tell me, how many copies have been sold in a week?" Chen Lang also wanted to know how much he had sold.

"Hong Kong has sold 80,000 copies in just a week, and 100,000 copies in Taiwan and Southeast Asia have already been sold out. Qi Wenjie couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and said loudly.

"Sold so much? I thought it would be good to sell 30,000 copies, and Southeast Asia sold out all of them, how did you do it? Chen Lang felt a little incredible, this sales data is really crazy, is it because he is a traverser and has the aura of the protagonist?

"It seems that you don't care about your own work, you can just find a newspaper and take a look, okay, I'm still busy with the content of the second episode of "Zhu Xian", hang up first!" Qi Wenjie was a little speechless about Chen Lang's hindsight.

Recently, Chen Lang has been busy with everyone on the issue of setting the level title of the fan club, and "Xun Qin Ji" is almost finished, and in the end, as long as the manuscript is handed over to "Oriental Daily", this burden can be relieved.

It will be the end of December when the serialization of "Oriental Daily" ends, so Chen Lang has rarely read newspapers recently, and he has not noticed the discussion caused by the "Zhu Xian" comics.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Lang looked for a few newspapers to find news about the comic version of "Zhu Xian", and saw a huge headline on the entertainment page of the first newspaper: "Lang Lang joins hands with Yulang International to set off a new wave of Hong Kong comics!" ”

On November 11, Yulang International officially released the comic adapted from the novel of the same name by the well-known novelist and popular singer Lang Lang "Zhu Xian".

The characters in the comic "Zhu Xian" are no longer thick eyebrows and big eyes, big sideburns, bell bottoms, the characters are more handsome, the costumes are more gorgeous, and at the same time, all kinds of magic weapons and ghosts, fairy birds and beasts are also gorgeous and shocking, the style of this comic is full of fairy charm, and the delicate and gorgeous painting style is amazing!

Comparing "Zhu Xian" with previous Hong Kong comics, it is impossible to compare it at all, it is like letting a middle-aged strong man compete with a ** child, the gap is too big.

The change in the comic style of "Zhu Xian" has also caused a lot of popularity among the majority of comic fans, and it is bluntly said that after reading "Zhu Xian", even the comics I used to read were even Huang Yulang's "Dragon and Tiger Gate", which can be inferred that if the comics that are now serialized do not change the style of painting, it is very likely that there will be a sharp decline in sales.

The change in the style of Hong Kong comics is also coming! As stated in the advertisement, "Zhu Xian" is a subversive comic masterpiece, and its appearance will lead the trend of Hong Kong comics' development in the next few decades! ”

Chen Lang saw that the evaluation here was a little unexpected, he knew that the emergence of the comic style of "Zhu Xian" would definitely have an impact on the current Hong Kong comics, but he didn't expect this impact to come so violently, Chen Lang looked through other reports in the newspaper, all the reports about the "Zhu Xian" comics were basically the same, and the praise was endless.

This is also the case in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, at first everyone began to pay attention to the comic version of "Zhu Xian" because of Chen Lang's fame and the huge popularity brought by the novel "Zhu Xian", but everyone felt the difference from the previous Hong Kong comics at the first glance when they saw the comics.

As more characters appeared, the more everyone watched, the more excited they became, and in the end, even after watching it, they couldn't help but watch it over and over again.

After reading "Zhu Xian", countless people bluntly said that such a comic style is worthy of the classic masterpiece "Zhu Xian", and at the same time, they all expressed the same emotion, the previous comic content is also very classic, but the gap in the painting style is too big.

Now that I have been nourished by the painting style of "Zhu Xian", I am afraid that it is a little difficult to accept it when I read other comics in the future, and the impact of the mature comic style in the world of the 1980s thirty years later is far beyond Chen Lang's imagination.

The discussion and trend caused by the comic "Zhu Xian" continued, and many comic fans immediately accepted and fell in love with this delicate and gorgeous style, so in just one week, the 300,000 copies of "Zhu Xian" sold by Yulang International have been basically sold out, and now orders from Taiwan and Southeast Asia have long been piled up in front of Yulang International's table, and Huang Yulang is both happy and sad to watch.

I am happy that my decision is undoubtedly an extremely wise move, and I am sad that the sales of several fist comics of Yulang International have been greatly impacted, even Huang Yulang's own "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and the sales of Shangguan Xiaobao's "Bruce Lee", which was acquired with great effort, have been affected.

Although the impact is not very big now, only a drop of more than 1,000 copies, it can still sell about 100,000 copies, but according to the feedback from the majority of comic fans, everyone seems to be dissatisfied with the current comic style, and it is recommended that the company change the style to a delicate painting style like "Zhu Xian".

Huang Yulang couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the information fed back by these comic fans, the theme of "Zhu Xian" is Xianxia, and the theme of "Dragon Tiger Gate" is the modern fighting type, the two themes are not the same at all, this can be imitated, but the opinions of comic fans cannot be ignored, otherwise it is themselves who suffer.

The reason why Huang Yulang is called the godfather of Hong Kong comics is not only because he has a lot of classic comic masterpieces and has earned a huge amount of wealth, but more importantly, because of some of his contributions to Hong Kong comics.

He was committed to making major changes in comic production. First of all, he set up departments necessary for the publishing industry, such as printing, color separation, character planting, and binding, and purchased new printing presses and color separation machines, which greatly improved the printing quality of comic books.

In order to expand the company's production volume, Huang Yulang divided the production of manga into various steps, such as starting the draft (drawing the composition), hooking the head (drawing the head of the character), barging (drawing the body of the character), and filling the head (only the hair of the character).

Therefore, most cartoonists say that "in this set of comics is responsible for hooking" or "that set of comics is responsible for refutation" and so on.

Now Huang Yulang is quite a bit of a feeling of lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, although the comic "Zhu Xian" has sold nearly 300,000 sales in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia in just one week, and it will definitely not be a problem to break his comic sales record for a while, and the company can also make a lot of money, but in the face of the problem of changing the style of painting, it is really a little tricky.

Now there are no less than a dozen comics distributed by Yulang International, although the sales of each copy cannot be compared with "Zhu Xian", but the sales of a large number of them add up to more than "Zhu Xian" Undoubtedly, if you want to change the comics now, it will definitely bring a lot of trouble.

But if you don't change, I'm afraid that sales will continue to decline, and the change will be changed slowly, and it is impossible to complete all the changes in one size fits all, and how to change it still needs to think about it carefully, and the company can't rely on a copy of "Zhu Xian" to win the world.

Soon Huang Yulang got up and rushed to the company's conference room, because the company needed to discuss the matter of changing the style of comics, and when Huang Yulang arrived at the conference room, everyone had been waiting for a long time, and everyone stood up when they saw the boss coming.

"Okay, let's all sit down, there are only two things to do for everyone to have a meeting today. The first thing is that "Zhu Xian" is a big hit, and we have to thank Applejack for her dedication to this comic. Huang Yulang first praised his eldest apprentice.

"The main thing is that Lang Lang's design is very good, and the master's wise decision to win the adaptation rights of the comic of "Zhu Xian" and the strong support of all aspects later, otherwise there would be no this comic." Qi Wenjie looked like a painting idiot, but he didn't know the world, and he still patted his master's ass.

"Okay, everyone sees your efforts, no one can erase them, there will be rewards in the future, everyone is the same, as long as you make achievements, there will be rewards, the key is to see your ability. By the way, the matter of the reprinting of "Zhu Xian" is ready, right? Huang Yulang comforted everyone and asked.

"I've already had 200,000 copies printed at the company's head office, and now 100,000 copies have been printed." Qi Wenjie replied with a smile.

"No, there are still fewer prints, I estimate that the sales of "Zhu Xian" in Hong Kong are likely to exceed the highest sales of "Dragon Tiger Gate", reaching 200,000 copies, and the sales in Taiwan and Southeast Asia will be added to print another 200,000 copies." Huang Yulang said affirmatively.

As soon as Huang Yulang's words fell, everyone was shocked, and they were a little surprised that Huang Yulang's estimate of "Zhu Xian" surpassed "Dragon Tiger Gate" to create a Hong Kong comic sales record.

Although everyone is now seeing the hot sales of "Zhu Xian", and it is very likely to break the record held by Huang Yulang himself, it has not yet become a reality after all.

Now Huang Yulang said it himself, which surprised everyone a little, of course, what was even more surprising was that 20 more copies were printed, plus the first batch of 30 finished volumes, and the 200,000 copies that were already being printed, that would be 700,000 copies, even if Taiwan and Southeast Asia were added, this number was a bit too large.

Sure enough, Qi Wenjie exclaimed, "That's a total of 700,000 copies, this is ...... Can this be sold? ”
