Chapter 158: The Transformation of Hong Kong Comics

"Don't worry, the influence of the "Zhu Xian" comic is still fermenting, and the sales in Hong Kong may come to an end when it reaches 200,000, but the sales in Taiwan and Southeast Asia will definitely exceed everyone's imagination, you just go and tell the printing house to reprint again." Huang Yulang said with an affirmative face.

Qi Wenjie nodded when he heard this, he knew his master very well, and knew that Huang Yulang had achieved success after experiencing many failures and learned a lot of experience, and now Huang Yulang's vision is definitely vicious, and he spent a sky-high price to win the comic adaptation rights of Chen Lang's two novels, and now it seems that he has definitely earned it.

"The next thing to discuss is about the question of many comic fans suggesting that everyone change the style of comics, for this issue, I don't know what everyone here thinks, you can speak freely, what to say, brainstorm, come up with a reasonable plan." After Huang Yulang finished speaking, he looked at everyone, wanting to hear the thoughts of the audience.

"I don't think we need to follow the comic style of "Zhu Xian", don't look at the current "Zhu Xian" is a big hit, but that's because many comic fans feel fresh, and more importantly, everyone's comics are too different from the comics of "Zhu Xian", which is a fairy tale theme, and following the trend may not necessarily achieve results, maybe it will eventually become Dong Shi Xiaofeng."

Shangguan Xiaobao, who had just joined Yulang International, said.

In fact, Shangguan Xiaobao looks down on Qi Wenjie, the writer of "Zhu Xian", after all, it was Huang Yulang who won "Zhu Xian", and the character design is the credit of Lang Lang, it can be said that Qi Wenjie is just a drawing machine, and now seeing Qi Wenjie's great success, I really feel that I have taken shit luck, of course, the reason for the different themes also occupies the main factor.

Everyone nodded secretly when they heard Shangguan Xiaobao's words, indeed "Zhu Xian" can be said to be the world's first Xianxia comic, everyone has the same theme, and it may be inappropriate to change it rashly, so everyone prefers to wait and see, if the sales are really declining, then it is not too late to change.

Seeing that everyone tends to be conservative, Huang Yulang had no choice but to say, "It's not to let everyone follow the trend of "Zhu Xian", but to make some changes, because everyone's current comic characters are carved out of a mold, not as varied as Zhu Xian, so that everyone can watch fresh and interesting."

This comic style has lasted for so many years, and it has fallen behind, and now a group of young comic fans who have grown up are undoubtedly more demanding, especially after watching "Zhu Xian", if we don't make changes, I'm afraid everyone's comics will be abandoned by these young people. ”

Everyone was shaken when they heard Huang Yulang's words, after all, the main force of the comic is still these young people, if they don't get the approval of these young people, then they can only face the end of rushing to the street.

Seeing that everyone was a little moved, Huang Yulang continued, "Of course, change is not a simple thing, everyone has been serialized for so many issues, even if you want to change, you can only change it slowly, not in one step, in that case, the risk is too great, as for how to change it, we will discuss it." ”

After hearing this, everyone nodded and began to discuss how to change the comics, while Shangguan Xiaobao, who was sitting on the side, had a gloomy face.

Originally, he was very unhappy to be acquired by Huang Yulang's company, but the situation was stronger than others, and he could only admit and merge into Yulang International, which made Shangguan Xiaobao, who had been competing with Huang Yulang since the seventies, feel very uncomfortable.

After arriving at the new company, Shangguan Xiaobao wanted to get enough respect and voice in Yulang International, but today's words of Huang Yulang undoubtedly gave him a resounding slap in the face.

Next, Huang Yulang and everyone began to discuss things about changing the style of comics, mainly to make the comics more realistic, and at the same time pay attention to more changes, not the villain characters always have a fierce face, look at the villains in "Zhu Xian", which are much more handsome than the protagonists.

Today's conference is undoubtedly far-reaching for Hong Kong comics, because Ma Rongcheng's "Chinese Heroes" brought about a revolution in the Hong Kong comics industry in advance, and this time everyone has a successful case, it is relatively easy to change, and there are many detours.

After the meeting of Yulang International, everyone left the conference room in a hurry, although the comic change is not in a hurry, but now go back and think about how to change slowly is also necessary, how to do the moisturizing and silent change, now it has become everyone's primary problem, and the latest issue of the comic may have to be slightly changed.

"Applejack, how is the single book of the second episode of "Zhu Xian"?" Only Huang Yulang and Qi Wenjie were left in the conference room.

"At present, I have just drawn the beginning, and it is estimated that it will be a month and a half before an episode can be released in the future." Qi Wenjie replied.

"Well, you've done a great job this time, and I'll reward you." Huang Yulang said with a smile.

"Master, you know best what kind of person I am, you can hand over the comic "Zhu Xian" to me is the biggest reward, I don't need anything else, I just want to complete the work of "Zhu Xian" now, and the rest is not important to me." Qi Wenjie looked at his master and said sincerely.

"It's because I know who you are, so I feel at ease to hand over this comic to you, and you really didn't disappoint me, you still just need to concentrate on the related affairs of "Zhu Xian", but the reward is still needed, even if you are my apprentice, but your achievements make no one say a word." Huang Yulang patted Qi Wenjie's shoulder and said.

"Well, anyway, everything is up to the master, I'm going to prepare for the second episode of "Zhu Xian" now." After speaking, Qi Wenjie rushed to his office full of motivation, and Huang Yulang, who was looking at it, shook his head with a smile.

In the following days, the popularity of the "Zhu Xian" comic continued to heat up, and the enthusiasm of comic book fans for this groundbreaking comic book never diminished, and the daily flow of trucks from Yulang International to and fro shipped the latest "Zhu Xian" to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

The corresponding sales data of other comics are still decreasing, although the decline in sales data such as the famous Hong Kong comics "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Bruce Lee" has decreased, but the sales data of other comics have even dropped by half all at once, which makes all cartoonists realize that it is impossible not to change the style of comics now, and the reform of Hong Kong comics has officially begun!
