Kong Lan's final decision was to start an animation information magazine first, on the grounds that since Meng Zhe judged that this type of magazine would decline in a few years, wouldn't it be more cost-effective not to do it now?

When the time comes, I really can't do it.,It's a big deal to stop the magazine.,And then make it an anime magazine in other directions.。

For Kong Lan's decision, Meng Zhe undoubtedly supports it, and at that time, the information comic magazine will not be able to continue, but at that time, the 'demonic' website that integrates the animation information function should have been online for a long time, and the magazine will retire when the time comes.

Subsequently, Meng Zhe and Kong Lan, after some discussion, determined the name of this animation information magazine - "Animation Time".

As for the magazine publication number, this problem is not a problem at all, if the time is a few years later, it is indeed difficult to apply for the publication number, but now the state is still relatively loose on the application for the magazine publication number, as one of the designated units of the '5155' project, Tianjiao Society, through the relationship to get one or two issue numbers, that is a very simple matter.

However, it will be difficult to apply for a magazine publication number in a few years, and in later generations, when Guo Xiaosi ran his novel magazine "The Smallest Story", he once ran to buy a lot of book publication numbers because he couldn't apply for the magazine publication number, and then used the issue number of the published book to steal the issue of "The Smallest Story...... I have to say that Guo Xiaosi is really talented, but it also proves how difficult it is to get the issue number of the magazine.

"Xiao Zhe, Bian Xiaochun hasn't contacted you today?"

After determining the publication of the animation information magazine "Animation Time", Kong Lan asked again.

Because after the demonstration, it has been decided to do the 'starting point Chinese network' and 'hao123' website navigation, so both tasks have been entrusted to Bian Xiaochun, and it is better to leave professional things to professional personnel, right?

"At noon, Bian Xiaochun called me, and he said that the navigation website was basically made, and it would take some time for the starting point to be made."

Meng Zhe replied truthfully that there is basically no technical content in the navigation website, so it is very easy to make it. The starting point of the project is a little more vast, although according to Meng Zhe's setting, within three years, his starting point website, will still be in the stage of free reading, but such as 'member email system', 'graphic VIP chapter', anti-leelink system and 'reward' and so on, Meng Zhe's requirements are made in one step...... Therefore, according to Bian Xiaochun's prediction, it will take him and his team about another month to complete this work.

Meng Zhe is not in a hurry, during this time he can just use it to set up a website management team, and now China's network is still in its infancy, so basically buy a few computers with slightly better surnames, and then find a few college students like Yao Feila, who are computer majors, and manage data backup and network maintenance every day.

The focus at this stage is not to make it big, but to make these websites a de facto existence, and then publicize them through several magazines under Tianjiao Society, so that more people can know about these existences - although the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach, for example, Wan Yan, the world's first VCD, died very miserably. But Meng Zhe is different, as a reborn person, he knows that the future trend will be very miserable, so it can't be said.

After Meng Zhe said his thoughts, Kong Lan on the other end of the phone spoke again: "Xiao Zhe, do you know our Daran Publishing House and Dongli Publishing House in Taiwan? ”

Daran and Dongli?

Of course, Meng Zhe knows that these two publishing houses, whose main business is animation, are basically equivalent to the Baiquan Society and Shueisha in this era.

Daran's boss Lu Dunjian is a comic book fan, and when he first started comic publishing, he tended to publish girl-oriented comics, while Dongli's boss was a cartoonist like Meng Zhe, and his publications were biased towards teenagers.

At the beginning, these two companies were actually the same as the painting king and the Sichuan Hope Bookstore in the background of the painting king, publishing a large number of pirated comics. Of course, the other way around, after all, the two of them appeared much earlier than the Painting King and Hope Bookstore.

Among them, in the early days of Daran's boss Lu Dunjian, he once ran the "Xiao Mi Comics Weekly" that published this comic, and it can be seen from the name that this magazine is girl-oriented. In order to compete with Dongli's "Power Comic Weekly", Lu Dunjian created the Comics Newcomer Award in the weekly magazine, and set up a special section in the weekly magazine to publish local works.

You Sulan, Lin Zhengde, Gao Yong, etc., who are famous in Taiwan's comic industry, actually debuted during the existence of "Little Comics Weekly", which is very similar to "The King of Picture Books". The only difference between the two is that Da Ran finally succeeded in whitewashing himself, while the painting king failed to reach an agreement with the publishing house of the book, so it disappeared in a flash in the pan - in 1991, Taiwan amended the "Copyright Law". After facing very heavy penalties for piracy, and the appearance of the legal provisions that foreign comics can only be represented exclusively in Taiwan, Daran won the favor of the comic magazine by burning a large number of pirated comics in public. Then, Daran successfully grabbed the exclusive agency rights of Shueisha, Baiquan Club and many comics in the Shogakukan, and it was very popular for a while.

In the following ten years, Dongli was completely suppressed by Da Ran, and Da Ran, who had the copyrights of "One Piece", "Psychic King", and "Chess Spirit King" (Chess Soul), created the so-called "Three Kings Era", and the number of periodicals and magazines per month should be as high as 1.5 million copies - this 1.5 million data was only achieved on the small island of Taiwan!

In fact, Meng Zhe is now taking almost the same route, but because of the advantage of rebirth, he doesn't need to engage in piracy of this comic, just draw it himself and hand over the creativity to others to draw, which can support his flagship publication "Anime Boy".

The next step is to be the same as Daran in various cities across the country,Establish a 'manga bar' specializing in the sale and rental of comic publications.,Of course, because Tianjiao Club also has a business of animation peripheral products.,So these manga bars will also sell these animation peripheral products.。

Of course, Meng Zhe didn't do it himself, he just drew a few pictures of the store, and then planned to send an advertisement in the anime boy magazine to welcome the franchise, and waited for those who were willing to join to negotiate.

However, before that, Meng Zhe first needed to recruit professional trainers and build a demonstration store in Wufeng County - before Kong Lan left, he had already arranged for people to talk to the owners of several bookstores in the county, and finally the small bookstore next to the stadium successfully grabbed the first 'animation shop' chain bookstore franchise qualification.

Now, the two shops next to it have been ordered, and the first 'animation shop' chain bookstore is being renovated intensively, and it is expected that September 1st, when the school will start, it will be able to complete the renovation and open for business.

When the renovation is completed, the bookstore will become a franchise store that sells and rents anime magazines, single books, and anime peripheral products...... At that time, not only Meng Zhe, the boss of Tianjiao Club, will go to the opening ceremony, but the serialized authors of the anime boys will also go out collectively to cheer, this is a super luxury lineup!

Of course, of course, this matter is a little far, because what Kong Lan asked just now was whether Meng Zhe knew about the two publishing houses, Dongli and Daran, so Meng Zhe replied: "You know?" What's wrong, Sister Lan? ”

"In the past two days, the bosses of Dongli and Daran have come to me on the grounds of visiting patients, and they want to win the exclusive agency rights of those hot serials on our "Anime Boys" in Taiwan...... What do you think, Xiaozhe? ”

Kong Lan said that after two or three days of going home, her mood had stabilized, and her chaotic proportions had regained.

"Hmm......"

What does Meng Zhe think?

"Anime Boy" is very popular in the mainland, and Meng Zhe, the demon, has also entered the market with a vote, and even the TV animation has been filmed!

For such a big thing, why did the two giants of Taiwan's animation market, which are now merging, react until now? If it was Meng Zhe instead, he would have gone to Tianjiao Club to contact him in person, where would he wait for Kong Lan to return to Taiwan before making a move? What did Dongli and Daran do during this time?

Dongli and Daran, of course, have something to do during this time, and they are busy grabbing the agency rights of magazines and serialized comics under various animation publishing houses.

Now that the exclusive agency rights on the other side of the book have been basically divided, it is normal for Qi Qi to set his sights on the continent that they ignored and regarded as an 'anime desert' before.

In fact, as far as Meng Zhe is concerned, he thinks the best way is to open a branch in Taiwan and then publish and sell the traditional version of "Anime Boy".

But the problem is that now Taiwan already has two giants, Da Ran and Dongli, so if you go to open a branch of Tianjiao Society, you will face the problem of competing with Da Ran and Dongli - although Kong Lan is Taiwanese, and it is not wrong for her family to be in Taiwan, she can't be allowed to live in Taiwan, right?

Therefore, it is the king to hand over the traditional publishing in the Taiwan market to Daran or Dongli, and then focus on the operation of the mainland market.

"Sister Lan, what is your opinion?"

So, Meng Zhe asked rhetorically.

"My opinion is that both Dongli and Daran are okay, and we don't have the energy to open a branch in Taiwan now. So it's better to hand over the publishing rights to them to make our cartoonists famous, so ......" said Kong Lan paused slightly, and then sharpened: "When we free up our hands to open a branch, the accumulated fame will be used." ”
