Chapter 183 The Layout of the Comic Industry (II)
Mo Fei didn't know why Xu Mu was so enthusiastic, maybe she really wanted to help, or she also had some idea of wanting to get some benefits from it, but no matter why, he had to thank the other party while refusing.
"Thank you, Mother Xu, your idea is really good, and it is a good way to quickly open the market. But I don't have that much energy to do this now, the main thing is to develop film and music, and everything else will have to wait until these two tasks are on the right track. And I only have one painter under my command now, and the work of the publishing company is piggyback on the record company, so there are no suitable people. But thank you anyway for being willing to help me figure it out and use my network. ”
Such a good opportunity was rejected by Mo Fei, and Xu Fei also thought that Mo Fei really didn't plan to expand his comic career now, so naturally he wouldn't insist on anything. There are many ways to get closer to each other, and there will be opportunities in the future, there is no need to make yourself look so anxious and white-faced, that will only make the distance between each other farther away.
"Non-brother's comics are the best, not only popular in Hong Kong, but also in Taiwan and in this book, I believe that non-brother's comics will be able to sell all over the world." Li Zi didn't know Mo Fei's comic industry layout, nor did she understand what diplomats helped sales, in her heart she admired and trusted Mo Fei, thinking that Mo Fei was the best one in everything she did.
During the time that Xu Qing and Li Zi got along, what I heard the most from Li Zi was about Mo Fei, what is the best producer in Hong Kong, the most talented music producer in Hong Kong, the most powerful cartoonist in Hong Kong, and so on. In the eyes of teenagers, the whole of Hong Kong is already very remarkable, the outside world is still very new to this age, and I have not intuitively understood it, at most, when traveling, or what I saw in books and TV, Xiao Lizi really can't say a wider range of words, and she also knows that there is also Hollywood.
But that's it, and it also fooled Xu Qing, who was only two years older than Li Zi, into a puzzle and a lot of meat. In the eyes of most mainlanders, Hong Kong is prosperous, and children can only learn some incomplete information from the words of adults.
has already been instructed by his mother many times, try to have a good relationship with Mo Fei, Li Zi said this, Xu Qing also felt that he should say something, and said: "Xiao Zi is very right, I also think that Mr. Mo, your comics are really good, and it is easy to attract readers to the story, just like my mother said, even adults will like it." Although I don't know much about these things in the mainland, I can see that your comics are really good, and the shape of this character is also very likable, just like the puppet girl's style, which will definitely be liked by boys and girls. "Well, just because of a moment of carelessness, the word pseudo-mother was born n years in advance.
When Xu Qing and Mo Fei spoke, they were more in a tone of respect, and the boundary between the boss and the artist seemed very clear. She also wants to speak like Li Zi, but the situation of the two people is completely different, first of all, in terms of distance, one is in the mainland and the other is in Hong Kong, this is a natural gap, which is difficult to make up.
As long as there is time outside of studying, Li Zi will go to Phoenix Culture to listen to the lectures of Wu Yusen and Yongjiang and others, and slowly become familiar with the whole company.
Not only is Mo Fei good to her, but even Honggu, Ghost Sister, Wang Zuxian and others who have met a few times also like this little girl very much. Sometimes in order to hide people's eyes or deceive themselves, when Wang Zuxian or Guan Zhilin came to Mo Fei's house, they would deliberately bring Li Zi as their shield.
Regarding the scandals between Mo Fei and several actresses, as long as you have read entertainment newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong, you will not know that Li Zi is already a member of the entertainment industry, and of course she knows a little about these things. Don't look at her small, those sisters always bring her to find out why, it's very clear in the little brain.
Although Mo Fei was very opposed to them using Li Zi as a shield, even Li Zi said that she didn't care, and in her heart she also wanted to see Mo Fei more, or help Mo Fei a little, and reduce Mo Fei's troubles, Mo Fei would have nothing to say, she could only dote on this sensible little girl even more.
This is also the reason why she is very familiar with Mo Fei's house, ten times she went to Mo Fei's house, eight times she was "brought" by someone, and she didn't care about others when she came, the adults Qingqing and I had nothing to do with her at all, so they just took care of themselves and played around, of course, adults will not do things that are inappropriate for children.
Xu Qing and Li Zi had two completely different attitudes, Mo Fei could see it clearly, and at the same time remembered what Xu's mother said in the kitchen just now, he was about to say that Xu Qing should also call his brother, but he was interrupted by two girls who rushed over.
Now looking at Xu Qing's somewhat nervous expression, Mo Fei also felt a little funny, children's minds are really different from adults, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much Xiaoqing for your compliment, when you say this, I am also a little confident." But you don't have to be so nervous when you speak, I see that you are very comfortable when filming, I don't think I'm so scared. It's better to be like this, you are about the same size as Xiaozi, don't call me Mr. Mo in the future, just call me brother like her. ”
Mother Xu breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, this brother is not called casually, even if he is not as close as Li Zi, but after a long time, he will always be more different than others, how can he take care of it more.
Looking at her daughter who was a little happy and a little excited, she didn't know how to answer Mo Fei's words, Xu's mother was busy pushing Xu Qing's back lightly twice, and said, "Silly girl, Mr. Mo asked you to call your brother, you will call your brother, you won't be unwilling, right?" ”
Of course Xu Qing is willing, she looks at the closeness of Li Zi and Mo Fei, and looks at Mo Fei's doting on Li Zi, it would be strange if the little girl had no idea in her heart. It's just that now Mo Fei let go of his mouth and asked him to call his brother, and the excitement in his heart couldn't be calmed down for a while.
"Why don't people want to?" Being pushed by her mother like this, Xu Qing was relaxed, but she was still a little embarrassed, and lowered her head and said to Mo Fei: "Thank you, ...... Mo, ah, no, it should be thank you Brother Fei." ”
Could it be that Xu Qing was nervous and shy, and said in his heart that this is the essence of Queen Pear Vortex, when she was thirty or forty years old, she did let go a lot, but the natural little shyness and shyness could not disappear completely, and it was precisely because of this that Queen Pear Vortex made more people like it.
smiled and said: "Silly girl, what's so shy about this, your mentality has to be changed, you have to face reporters often in the future, being so shy will make reporters bully." said this, but in his heart, he thought that Xu Qing would not be able to change it completely.
Mother Xu looked at Mo Fei's attitude towards her daughter, and she was also happy in her heart, she had come to Hong Kong for so many days, and she could call Mo Fei a brother in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, which is how many people should envy. The daughter called Mo Fei brother, and Xu's mother even thought about whether Mo Fei would have the opportunity to call herself a godmother, but this idea was suppressed by her as soon as she got up, this is absolutely impossible, don't dare to think so, otherwise I am afraid that my daughter will be affected.
I don't want to return, but my daughter has benefited, and Xu's mother also feels that she should express it again, which can be regarded as a kind of reward for Mo Fei.
After thinking about it, he said: "Mr. Mo, I thought about it just now, it's about your comics, since you don't want to develop in Europe and the United States now, can you consider the mainland, the population of the mainland is very large." Our family has some aspects in the literary circle, and if you are interested, this can help. ”
"The mainland is not considering it for the time being, Mother Xu, you also know that my essence is a businessman, if this business is not profitable, I will definitely not do it. The environment of the mainland is not suitable for making such comics now, and it is not possible to form a complete comic market, so let's take the relatively best-selling comic strips in the mainland as an example, a comic book is at most a few cents, but in Hong Kong, a comic book can be bought for dozens of yuan, that is, according to the official exchange rate, the gap between the two is also very large, and this business will definitely not be able to do. ”
In fact, the mainland's comics market will not gradually take shape until the 90s, and that is the opportunity to sell comics to the mainland.
After finishing speaking, he took out the theory that he was unwilling to vigorously develop comics in the short term, and said again: "And I really make comics just for interest, Xu's mother, you may not know, the publishing company under my name is not only one artist, but even the printing house is a small one, and usually does not take on other businesses at all, that is, it is dedicated to printing my comics, and when it comes to these, you should understand that I really don't want to make this matter bigger." In this way, when I first wanted to set up this printing house, the other senior management of the company was a little opposed. ”
Previously, Mo Fei registered Phoenix Publishing Company specifically for "Dragon Ball", and also acquired a printing house that was not very large, but Chen Pu and others did raise objections at that time, thinking that it was a bit risky to do so.
But now it seems that it is really the right choice, and the sales volume in Hong Kong alone is enough to make this printing factory run at full capacity, and the profitability has reached a very high level without too much labor overhead.
Everyone thinks that Mo Fei's comics are mainly because of his own interests, and secondly, to make money, but Mo Fei's real purpose in his heart has a lot of deviation from these two.
It is said that this is a big country of comics, almost every child will be edified by comics, and comics will even accompany them throughout their lives, including many TV episodes are adapted from comics, and there are also cases of TV series or novels being adapted into comics, and comics have penetrated into his own life.
What you have to do is to use comics to carry out cultural cannibalization and aggression on the book. It is said that he can use comics to strengthen the country, but he can brainwash himself through comics, and this is still an invisible advancement, and it is impossible for him to even detect it.
No one can deny that it is said that it is an economic power, but it is not easy to take money out of the pockets of rich people, and even their masters, the Americans, cannot do this.
So I plan to start with the comics, first sell the comics that don't have any style tendencies to the book, and then attract the attention of Yue himself, and then cooperate with Yue himself to arrange the comics into cartoons and animated movies, so that he likes the comics of Phoenix Publishing House.
At that point, it's time to get started. In the comics, some obscure expressions are constantly added, but they are not so strong, and over time, perhaps more than ten years or even longer, the influence will become greater and greater, and some thoughts and consciousness have penetrated into his own life through several years of erosion, which is more desirable than drug addiction.
How profitable comics are in this book, it is clear to cite two examples. Akira Toriyama paid taxes in '83 and had more than 600 million yuan, maybe he didn't see any problems with it, at the very low exchange rate at that time, even if it was converted into dollars, there were more than 2 million, and Akira Toriyama's marriage cost was 500 million yuan, so you can imagine how much money he made, and he was just a comic book author.
Well, let's take a look at the sales of Akira Toriyama's works, "Aralei" has sold more than 100 million copies in the book, and "Dragon Ball" has more than 150 million copies, and with such sales, the TV version and the movie version are just as crazy.
In 01 years, Hayao Miyazaki made a "Spirited Away", and the total box office of this anime movie in Yuben was 30.4 billion yuan, which was more than 250 million US dollars at the exchange rate at the time. And this anime movie is ranked 51st at the global animated film box office, with a global box office of more than 270 million, which shows my consumption of this type of anime.
And Hayao Miyazaki's other two anime films "Princess Mononoke" and "Howl's Moving Castle" also got a box office of 19.3 billion and 20 billion respectively. Other animated films such as "Doraemon" and "Pokemon", although far less refined than Miyazaki's works, can also get billions of dollars at the box office.
After entering the 21st century, the total value of the animation industry will exceed 10 billion US dollars every year, and how many people can be affected through such a large market.
If there is another purpose for the idea of the animation industry, it is for another huge comic industry, once these two major comic industries are grasped, not only can they bring a lot of money and reputation, but also can form control over this industry, which is the ultimate real purpose of Mo Fei's layout of the comic industry.
