Chapter 36 This young man is Ma Rongcheng!

The style and theme of Hong Kong comics and American comics are very similar.

Frankly speaking, the early Hong Kong comics were produced by learning Chinese comics, European and American comics, and comic books combined with China's local comics.

Of course, judging from the themes chosen by Hong Kong comics, American superhero comics obviously have the most profound influence on Hong Kong comics!

The mainstream elements of comics in Hong Kong and the United States are all superpowers, genetic mutations, peerless martial arts, super technology, gods and other reasons to create incredible strong people or superheroes, and it is usually the conflict between such strong people or superheroes and evil forces as the main line of the story.

In addition to the differences between the values of the United States and the values of Hong Kong, the elements that can be found in American comics, Hong Kong comics can basically find works with similarities.

If there is any essential difference, then the biggest essential difference is that the population of the United States is more than 50 times larger than that of Hong Kong, so the comic market in the United States is dozens of times larger than that of Hong Kong.

American hero comics in the United States during World War II had formed a vast domestic market. But it was Hollywood that began to have world influence in the late 90s of the 20th century, when it began to perfectly combine movie special effects with American superhero themes.

Movie special effects are used in superhero-themed movies, making superhero movies almost synonymous with big productions, special effects, and high box office!

For example, "Spider-Man", an American superhero comic book with a representative surname, sold $800 million at the box office after only three films.

"X-Men", "Hulk", "Superman", "Iron Man" any of the popular superhero comics adapted from Hollywood movies, can easily capture more than hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office.

It can be seen that popular comic characters that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and adapted from big-budget movies will also be widely enjoyed by the market.

In later generations, Hong Kong comics also worked closely with Hong Kong film companies - "Fengyun", "Chinese Heroes", "Dragon Tiger Gate", "Black Panther Biography" and other popular Hong Kong comics, all of which are movies, TV series, animation, and games are all copyrighted operations, creating greater benefits than comic publishing itself!

It's just that the audience limited to the Hong Kong film market is far inferior to Hollywood movies.

Therefore, the global influence of those "strong men" in Hong Kong is far inferior to that of those "superheroes" in the United States.

Now, the Hong Kong comic industry is definitely a sunrise industry, and in the near future - the adaptation frenzy of movies, TV series, animation, games, etc., is coming!

Zhang Shaojie owns a 5% stake in Yulang International.

Although, these shares are only worth HK$1.5 million in cash.

However, I believe that with the hard work of these cartoonists, the equity in their hands will inevitably be more valuable.

When Zhang Shaojie was thinking nonsense. Huang Yulang pointed to a young man and introduced with a smile: "This is one of our cadres, Ma Rongcheng!" ”

God, Ma Rongcheng!

Even if Zhang Shaojie is not a comic reader, but when he hears the words "Ma Rongcheng", his spirit can't help but be shocked!

When it comes to Hong Kong comics, in addition to being reminiscent of Huang Yulang, the second is probably Ma Rongcheng!

If you don't know Ma Rongcheng, then the two works of "Chinese Heroes" and "Fengyun" should be like thunder! Because of these two works, they have not only repeatedly set sales records in the Hong Kong comic market. Moreover, "Chinese Heroes" and "Heroes of the World" all use high-cost computer special effects, which have almost become synonymous with Hong Kong film special effects production. The TV drama version of "Fengyun" has also set off a ratings frenzy in the mainland, attracting tens of millions of TV viewers to watch.

Ma Rongcheng was born in 1961 and dropped out of middle school when he was 14 years old and began to draw comics. However, at this time, Ma Rongcheng was not a famous figure in the Hong Kong painting world. Ma Rongcheng really became the leader of Hong Kong comics, but it was in his masterpiece "Chinese Heroes" that he was born.

"Chinese Heroes", which was officially serialized in 1982, will soon set a new sales record for Hong Kong comics.

In Hong Kong, with a population of less than 5 million, "Chinese Heroes" actually set a record of selling more than 200,000 copies per issue, how can it not shock the entire Hong Kong art world!

Every year, the serialization of "Chinese Heroes" alone can contribute more than five or six million Hong Kong dollars to Yulang International's profits, and Ma Rongcheng has also become the most popular artist in the Hong Kong comics industry with an annual income of millions of Hong Kong dollars!

Of course, "Chinese Heroes" is just a prologue. Ma Rongcheng's work as the best-selling cartoonist in the Hong Kong comic industry is still the "Fengyun" series.

However, "Fengyun" has been distributed by Ma Rongcheng's own Tianxia Publishing Company, and the comic "Fengyun" has been serialized in the form of biweekly magazines for more than ten years, ranking first in Hong Kong comic sales. It has laid the foundation for Tianxia Publishing Company to become a first-line company in Hong Kong's comic publishing industry!

Zhang Shaojie was a little ill-intentioned and stared at this popular king of future Hong Kong comics who has not yet become popular.

Ma Rongcheng lowered his head, not realizing the meaning of Zhang Shaojie's gaze.

Zhang Shaojie walked over with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Ma Rongcheng, good name!" Work hard, boy, how can Jin Lin be a thing in the pool, and he will be a dragon when he encounters a storm! ”

Ma Rongcheng felt inexplicable, but he still said politely: "Mr. Zhang has won the award, Ma is just a newcomer in the comic circle, I really can't stand such a false praise!" ”

Newcomer?!

Zhang Shaojie smiled, and his heart was secretly refreshed.

This young man doesn't know how domineering and amazing "Chinese Heroes" is once it came out!

Then "Fengyun", "Black Panther" and other works are the sales champions.

In the next few decades, Ma Rongcheng will be an evergreen tree in the Hong Kong comics industry, and just the pen name of Ma Rongcheng will probably add up to hundreds of millions of comics.

The comics themselves alone have created billions of Hong Kong dollars worth in 30 years, with an average annual sales of hundreds of millions and annual profits of tens of millions, which can at least feed a team of hundreds of people.

What's more, what about the benefits of extended copyrights for movies, TV series, games, etc.?

Gold mines! This guy is a humanoid gold mine!

Every year, you can dig up hundreds of millions!

Zhang Shaojie couldn't wait to take out a check now, and said to him - young man, sign a contract with me now, after signing the contract, you will be the protagonist, even if you are a big good person, you will be praised for smashing pots and selling iron. Impressed, right? If you are moved, hurry up and sign a contract with the couple, and the character and reputation of labor and management guarantee that you will be paid no less than hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. Of course, in the future, you will only have to work part-time for the rest of your life. Want to default? Compensation for billions and then talk about breach of contract!

Of course, Zhang Shaojie didn't want to be a fortune teller, so he opened his mouth to reveal Ma Rongcheng's future development prospects.

If he shows that he is too eager, or too optimistic about Ma Rongcheng, then how can he abduct this ignorant teenager cheaply
