Chapter 30: Kong Lan's Decision
The "Painting King Boy" in front of Meng Zhe, although the name is very different from before his rebirth, the editor-in-chief is still Wang Yongsheng. The first issue of this trial issue of "Painting King Boy" is still Masami Cheda's "Jing Fighter - Xiang", Takahashi Yoichi's "Football Player", and Akira Toriyama's "Manga Research Institute".
Of course, Wang Yongsheng and Tan Xiaochun co-authored "Pan Tao Hui", Chen Jun's "Heavenly Sword", and Zheng Wen's "Hate Swallowing the World" (seems to be this name?) There is also a work that Meng Zhe didn't expect to be published now...... Yan Kai's "Snow Coconut".
No wonder, among the readers' contributions and subscribers, there is no Yan Kai's name, Meng Zhe thoughtfully.
is obviously influenced by "Anime Boy", and the cover of the trial issue of "King of Paintings" now called "King of Paintings" is far more exquisite than the inaugural issue of "King of Paintings" called "King of Paintings" before Meng Zhe's rebirth.
It's not accurate to say it's exquisite.,To be precise, it should be the cover of the trial issue of "Painting King Boy", which is almost no different from the cover of "Anime Boy" - the beautified logo, and the anime characters full of covers.
However, although "Painted King Boy" obviously imitates "Anime Boy", the characters on the screen are a little messy, not to mention, and the big one and the younger one can't find out who the key anime characters are.
The "King of Picture Books" in his memory has become the current "Painting King Boy", and Meng Zhe finally clearly felt the storm caused by his time and space butterfly and the gentle flapping of his wings.
When Meng Zhe looked through "The Boy Who Painted the King", Kong Lan said: "Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time, the imitation magazine that follows the trend appeared so quickly and on such a large scale...... It was completely unexpected by my sister. ”
After a pause, Kong Lan said in a regretful tone: "Although it is said that it is a good thing to have competitors, it is a pity that it is ...... This painting king boy has gone the wrong way. ”
"Taken the wrong path?" Meng Zhe withdrew his gaze from "The Boy Who Painted the King", which was still piecing four original manuscripts together in one page, trying to reduce costs in this way, and he was a little curious about what Kong Lan was referring to when he said that he had taken the wrong path.
Kong Lan nodded and continued, "Yes, they went the wrong way. This magazine mainly promotes those comics, but as far as I know, no magazine or publishing house in the entire continent has obtained the authorization to publish comics from there...... According to the sales of 50,000 copies of our fourth issue, comic magazines do have a huge market in China. China and China, both of which belong to the Confucian cultural circle, are not much different from the most mainstream preferences of the public, and these comics promoted by this magazine are also popular works that have been tested by readers, and this king of paintings has an enviable and powerful sales channel...... So it's sure to make a lot of sales within a year! ”
Kong Lan's judgment made Meng Zhe feel even more strange, since he would definitely achieve very good sales, how could it be wrong?
Although, Meng Zhe knew very well that the highest single issue of the "Picture Book King" magazine before the rebirth exceeded 800,000 copies, it was indeed ordered to stop publishing after only a little more than a year......
Sister Kong Lan's judgment is correct, yes, but Sister Kong Lan, you are not a reborn, how did you come up with this judgment?
"Xiao Zhe, do you think my judgment is very strange?" Before Meng Zhe opened his mouth to ask, Kong Lan had already said before him, so Meng Zhe nodded again and again.
"There are two reasons for my judgment, first, large-scale piracy will inevitably cause serious concern among the comic artists and publishers whose interests have been damaged. Kong Lan said the first reason, and after thinking about it, she revised her statement: "No, it's not possible, it's definitely going to be!" This is the instinct of a businessman. ”
Then, Kong Lan continued to say the second reason: "Second, Xiao Zhe, you also told the reporter Xia Xiaoxuan that this comic was given the task of imperceptible propaganda by their political axe, and the readers of the comic are all children, which will inevitably cause unease among domestic educators, parents and even high-level figures...... This, it seems, has involved the national reading surname and the ideological level. ”
After speaking, Kong Lan rubbed the bridge of his nose with his right hand and said in a slightly complaining tone: "So, once something really happens, this magazine will definitely be suspended, and then ...... It will affect our magazine. ”
"Will it affect us?! Do we ...... Will it also be ordered to suspend publication?! ”
Meng Zhe, who was still thinking about Kong Lan's two reasons, was stimulated by the word suspension - Meng Zhe has now poured too much effort into Tianjiao Club and Anime Boy, and he absolutely can't accept that with the efforts of himself and Kong Lan, this impressive magazine that was so easy to run was ordered to stop publication!
"Heh-" Looking at the excited Meng Zhe, Kong Lan laughed out loud, she reached out and gently pinched Meng Zhe's cheek, and then smiled and said: "Xiao Zhe, you think too much, what my sister said is that the sales volume is not ordered to stop publication, our magazine is not involved in copyright disputes at all, and the content of the comics serialized is also very positive." ”
"It's good that I won't be ordered to stop publishing...... Meng Zhe thought about it carefully, and sure enough, he was worried about it.
Just like Kong Lan said, first of all, "Anime Boys" has no copyright disputes at all, so it will not become the target of the Cartoonists Association; Moreover, the comics serialized in "Anime Boy" are indeed very positive, and the only "Dream Eater" that involves more feelings between men and women has only a little ambiguity left under Meng Zhe's modification, and it is more of a positive struggle...... If it is named like Yan Kai's "Snow Coconut" at that time, it will be a big deal to cut it off; In the end, Kong Lan's identity as a Taiwanese compatriot is a very useful talisman!
"Sister Lan, I think we can open a red comic with a prize to add points to our "Anime Boys"!" After thinking about it, Meng Zhe proposed.
"Prize-winning submissions for red comics?" Kong Lan is a Taiwanese compatriot in the end, so he didn't understand what Meng Zhe meant for a while.
"It's the kind that preaches revolutionary figures! For example, you can let the contributor draw the little soldier Zhang Gala, the little hero Yu is coming, and the little sister of the grassland can be drawn...... In this way, I think educators, parents, and executives will like it. Oh yes, those works also involve copyright issues, or forget it? It seems too troublesome to talk about them one by one! ”
Meng Zhe explained, and then he remembered that the original authors of these works should still be alive, and if they were used without greeting others, it would probably be a very troublesome thing to cause copyright disputes, so he was a little hesitant - since it will not be suspended, it doesn't matter if this kind of thing is done or not.
"No trouble! It's not troublesome at all, Xiao Zhe, your suggestion is too good! We should do this red call, and if we do it well, our anime boy sales, and then this opportunity can be greatly increased! Brother Xiao Zhe, you, you are so smart! ”
Kong Lan's eyes lit up, she obviously thought of more things along Meng Zhe's train of thought as she had when Meng Zhe mentioned the 'team logo' before.
Kong Lan, who was too happy, held Meng Zhe's face and kissed Meng Zhe on the forehead, and then hurried away.
No way?
Can I still increase sales with this opinion?
Meng Zhe blinked, then touched his forehead, and then he saw Jiang Xiyao holding a large stack of sketches, and leaned out half of her body at the door of the studio with a strange expression......
