Chapter 152: The Comic "Zhu Xian"

"By the way, Sister Chen, which company is the company's record partner in Taiwan?" Chen Lang suddenly thought of Taiwan's Haishan Records, so he asked.

"It's Taiwan's Haishan Records." Chen Shufen didn't think much about it and said, "Now there are powerful and famous record companies in Taiwan, which are a few companies such as Haishan, Kolin, and Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone's current record distribution is still distributed by BMG of the world's four major record companies.

Colin is PolyGram's partner company in Taiwan, so we chose Haishan Records, although Haishan is no longer as glorious as the three major record companies in the 70s.

But the distribution channel is still there, and because it is now in decline, they can't get to cooperate with us, and cooperation is a matter of mutual benefit, and the negotiation of everyone's cooperation is easy to reach. ”

In the eighties and nineties of the nineteenth century, the world's four top record companies were Warner, BMG, EMI and Sony, and later Universal became the fifth largest record company in the world after merging with Polygram, but in 2005, Sony officially annexed BMG (Bestman) after the world's five major record companies resumed to become the four major record companies.

In Taiwan in the 80s and 90s, the original three major record companies in the 70s, Haishan, Colin and Lige, gradually declined, and were replaced by the three major record companies of UFO, Rolling Stone and Shanghua.

However, it is still only 1981, only Rolling Stone has just been founded, as for UFO and Shanghua, it has not yet been born, of course, there are many record companies in Taiwan, but in addition to these three, there is a big gap in terms of scale and influence on future generations.

"Haishan Records, when I was competing in Taipei some time ago, they still wanted to sign a contract with me, if it weren't for Sister Chen, you started quickly, maybe I would have become a Haishan person." Chen Lang was very happy when he heard that the object of cooperation was Haishan Records, because he was influenced by the novels he read in his previous life, and he had a good impression of Haishan Records and his boss.

"Hehe, for a genius like you, it's natural to start early. I'm going to talk to Korean and Japanese record companies about collaborations. Chen Shufen hung up the phone after speaking.

Chen Lang put down the phone and was about to go back to the dining table to eat, but before he could take a step, the phone rang again, "Hey, hello!" ”

"Lang Lang, it's me, Qi Wenjie." Qi Wenjie's tone on the phone was full of excitement.

"Oh, it's Brother Jie, what's the matter?" Hearing Qi Wenjie's tone, Chen Lang knew that it should be the comic version of "Zhu Xian", and the first episode had been completed.

"I'm going to tell you a great piece of good news, the first episode of "Zhu Xian" has been drawn, and it will be officially sold on November 11 in a few days." Qi Wenjie said with a happy smile.

"November 11th, Double 11, Singles' Day?" Chen Lang was taken aback when he heard this, now is Singles' Day?

"What Singles' Day?" Qi Wenjie looked confused.

"Oh, nothing you heard wrong. I mean, that's great.,By the way, Brother Jie, can you send me a few copies first.,No.,Shouldn't the comics be serialized first.,And then a single book? ”

Chen Lang heard that the first episode of "Zhu Xian" was drawn, although Chen Lang had already seen the main content, and the delicate and gorgeous painting style was very much in line with his taste, but he had not seen the official final version.

"This is mainly because everyone is already very familiar with "Zhu Xian", and there are not many places to adapt, the master said that there is no need to serially gather popularity and observe market reactions, so I will send you a single book directly, I will send it to you tomorrow, by the way, your store Lang Lang Qiankun also wants to buy "Zhu Xian"?" Qi Wenjie asked.

"In this way, Lang Lang Qiankun sells things related to me, and the comic version of "Zhu Xian" will naturally be put on the shelves in the store when it comes out, and it must definitely be placed in the most conspicuous position." Chen Lang said as a matter of course.

"And how many copies are you going to stock?"

"How many copies have you printed? How are you going to do that? Chen Lang asked curiously, after all, Yulang International is now the dominant Hong Kong comic industry, and it can be said that it is rich and rich, and it is not bad for money.

"We have now printed 300,000 copies of the first episode of "Zhu Xian", and we plan to sell 100,000 copies in Hong Kong, 100,000 in Taiwan, and finally 100,000 copies in Southeast Asia. Qi Wenjie didn't hide it all, but what he said made Chen Lang a little surprised, where did he get so much confidence?

Now the best Hong Kong comic sold in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia should be Huang Yulang's "Dragon Tiger Gate", and the combined sales of the three places are estimated to be the highest level of about 300,000, although Chen Lang is very confident in his "Zhu Xian", but there is still some pressure in the face of 300,000 sales.

The physical book "Zhu Xian" can sell more than 1.5 million copies, because there are 5 books in the whole set, and each book has sold about 300,000, but the audience of fans of the novel is obviously much higher than that of the comics.

Liang Yusheng, Jin Yong and Gu Long and other martial arts have attracted countless fans of novels, so the sales of novels are very considerable, but comic fans are definitely much less than fans of novels, so Chen Lang is really under pressure for the sales of 300,000 copies.

"300,000, this is too much, can it be sold out?" Chen Lang asked hesitantly.

"The master has contacted many media under the umbrella of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and Yulang International to promote "Zhu Xian", and coupled with your excellent performance in the Asian amateur singing competition before, as well as the big sales of the novel version of "Zhu Xian", we think that although the sales of 300,000 are a bit high, there should not be too much of a problem." Qi Wenjie said calmly.

Chen Lang was directly speechless when he heard this, he used to fool Brother Jie and Yulang International to adapt the comics, but now they use these reasons to refute me, forget it anyway, if you sell it, you will make a lot of money by yourself, and if you can't sell it, you don't need to be responsible for it, and now it's purely mediocre self-disturbance if you think too much.

"Now that you are ready, I won't say more, I hope that "Zhu Xian" can be a big hit." After Chen Lang figured it out, he also said calmly.

"Don't worry, "Zhu Xian" will definitely sell well, I'll send you a comic tomorrow, goodbye." Qi Wenjie hung up the phone after speaking.

"What's the matter, so many calls?" The trio, who had already started eating, asked.

"The record of "Lang Lang Qiankun" will be released in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and the comic version of "Zhu Xian" will also be sold in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia at the same time during Double 11." Chen Lang summarized the contents of the two phone calls and said.

"Yes, that's good, I wish all my little brother's works are selling well!" Sister Chen Yun said with a smile.

"Yes, it's all a big deal!" Chen's father and Chen's mother also echoed.

"I hope so."
