14. Issued
By September 10th, samples of Chen Yihua's "Anime World Dragon Ball Series 1" had come out, and even the next few issues, the second and third issues had also come out in drafts.
For the seven people in the editorial department, in fact, it is very simple to create this comic, it takes no brainpower, Chen Yihua has already drawn a draft for the main characters in it, designed the appearance of the main characters in it, clothing, and even the style has been finalized, and the storyline of the comic is clear and clear, as long as the people in the editorial department cooperate well.
In Dragon Ball, in fact, the most stylish is the hair, such a hairstyle, that kind of powerful style of painting is the first time in the comic industry, Hong Kong has not appeared in such a style of painting before, although it is very rough, but the shape, style is very attractive.
The Monkey King, a young man who lives alone in the mountains, meets Bulma, a young scientist who collects Dragon Balls, and takes Goku on a journey to find Dragon Balls in order to get the four-star Dragon Balls owned by Goku. The Monkey King with a tail is born with divine powers, and he has been trained in martial arts by his deceased grandfather "Sun Gohan", so Goku defeated the bad guys many times during the search for Dragon Ball, and met friends such as Shenlong, Leping, Turtle Immortal, Bull Demon King and his daughter Kiki (Kiki became his fiancée). While searching for the last Dragon Ball, he broke into Pirav's castle, and later Goku was transformed into a giant ape due to the full moon, and his tail was cut off, and the Dragon Balls were scattered due to the dragon's wish.
The Dragon Ball series does not have many local features, and even the names of the important characters in it rarely have the characteristics of the book, and Chen Yihua wants to make the Chinese version of Dragon Ball, which is very easy to change.
The main plot of the Dragon Ball series can be divided into; Search Chapter 1, the 21st World One Martial Arts Association, the Search Chapter 2, the 22nd World One Martial Arts Association, the Great Demon King Chapter, the 23rd World One Martial Arts Association, the Saiyan Chapter, Namek Star Chapter, Artificial Man Chapter, Majin Buu Chapter, the main plot revolves around them.
After the first issue came out, Chen Yihua told the screenwriter about the plot of the follow-up young Monkey King, and asked them to draw a sample draft, and then they could confirm the publication after they passed the review.
Now the magazine Chen Yihua does not use the color paper of later generations, but the usual newspaper paper, so the price of materials is not very high, since the sample has been set, let the publisher's Lao Guo use all the materials left in the factory before, and wait until the "Anime World Dragon Ball Series 1" all come out, a statistic found that there are more than 20,000 publications, and these materials have also saved Chen Yihua a lot of money.
Finally, when there were still four days left before September 19, Chen Yihua's company publications and promotional posters had already come out.
The company also hung up the signboard 'Yanjing Player No. 1 Store' in the stores in the New Territories, although the façade here is small, and the house is not very new, but Chen Yihua plans to buy it in the future, and it will not be renovated, which can be used as the historical heritage of the company in the future, and develop into the history of Yanjing comics, so that comic lovers can know Yanjing from the side in the future.
For the positioning of the 'Yanjing player' store, Chen Yihua wants to publish comics and toys equally, so he took this name, of course, now the main thing is to get the comics out first, and it will be a wholesale center in the early stage, and in the future, the stores in other regions will be called 'Yanjing players', and there will be no second and third stores or anything.
For the copyright of comics, Chen Yihua would not have thought that when the comics became popular, but the version was taken away by others, then he would not cry to death, Hong Kong's copyright center is reported in the United Nations, so as long as you find a lawyer, register with the Hong Kong Copyright Center, and report for registration.
The copyright of Dragon Ball was not given to the company, but belonged to Chen Yihua personally, and he also gave himself a pen name, "Southern Dynasty Chen", Chen Yihua also has another meaning when he takes this pen name, which is to always remind himself of the fantasy experience from different eras.
After completing the company's preliminary preparations, seeing that everything was on track and the company was in order, Chen Yihua began to prepare for the publicity, and took Zhao Hongjun and the four of them to shuttle through the streets of Hong Kong.
Publicity, Chen Yihua asked Lu Yan for help, Lu Yan's father's eldest brother on the road, Lu Yan has some friendships with the school bosses of some colleges and universities, Chen Yihua just wanted to use these school bosses in the early stage, hoping that they would help him publicize it, Chen Yihua asked those people to distribute two copies for free in each school, hoping to circulate it in the school.
The day before yesterday on September 19, Chen Yihua hired a person from every school in Hong Kong, and asked the hired person to set up a stall in front of the school for two days in a row to see the situation, and if the sales were good, let them go to the store to buy goods.
On September 17th, the people of Yanjing have begun to mobilize, everyone seems to know whether the company can succeed or not when it is coming, all faces are full of longing, although this comic company does not even have a building, but the company is full of vitality, the boss Chen Yihua is not very strict, and with everyone through thick and thin, is a kind person, the company's employees hope that the company can run smoothly.
Before the release of the magazine, Chen Yihua called everyone together and held a meeting, so that everyone could supplement the places they did not expect, and arranged the personal division of labor in detail.
Chen Yihua's confidence in his comics, Lao Li, who told the logistics department, first contacted the materials of various comic companies, and when the money came in, he bought their materials in large amounts, because of the recession of the comics industry, Chen Yihua aimed at their materials, not only materials, but also publishing machines, and now these things are cheap times.
On September 19th, everyone in the company arrived early, Chen Yihua came to the store early in the morning, knowing that his buddy's company was publishing comics today, and Lu Yan also came early in the morning.
"It's so good-looking, Andy rest assured, someone will definitely buy this comic" Lu Yan said while looking at the comics while cheering for Chen Yihua.
Before September 19, Chen Yihua's heart was still a little nervous, but on September 19, when the matter came to an end, Chen Yihua's mood calmed down, everything that should be done was done, planning was done, and market research was also done.
Today is a report that the students did not go out so early, because they were afraid that the posters would be lost, and the promotional posters of Dragon Ball were only put out today, and Chen Yihua had trained the people who set up the stalls yesterday.
In particular, they borrowed two cars, and Zhao Hongjun went to the major schools in advance as a mobile unit to see if the posters at the door were put up and whether the personnel were in place.
Sitting in the store, there was a pair of people who followed Lu Yan and the glasses girl and they talked, the time passed minute by minute, 7 o'clock, eight o'clock, nine o'clock, seeing that the golden time was about to pass, Chen Yihua finally had a little anxiety in his eyes, and his eyes unconsciously aimed at the phone on the counter.
Finally, the phone rang for a while, and the people in the store were shocked and looked at the phone.
"Boss, the comics at St. Paul's School are sold out," the glasses girl picked up the phone and exclaimed in surprise.
'Huh' let out a long breath, I didn't expect it to be sold out so quickly, you must know that a school orders a hundred magazines, originally Chen Yihua thought that it would be good to buy fifty or sixty copies on the first day today.
'Ah Shui' hurriedly shouted at He Shui.
"Got it, boss" Although he didn't say anything specific, the clever He Shui already understood what Chen Yihua meant.
Before He Shui could go out, the phone rang again.
Everyone was quiet and saw the glasses girl pick up the phone; 'Boss. 'The Hong Kong Polytechnic University's 'that's also out of stock'.
Chen Yihua was really surprised this time, I didn't expect even the university sales to be so good, no wonder Chen Yihua's comics sold well, 75 years of Hong Kong comics, the style of painting is almost the same, Dragon Ball can indeed make consumers shine.
And Chen Yihua's poster at the door of the school has a very good publicity effect, and the promotional poster of the Dragon Ball series Chen Yihua is specially selected, using color pictures as the cover, and the wonderful character modeling does not know how much of a sensation it caused in front of the students.
The free magazines in the school have not yet been promoted, and I saw the character modeling on the promotional posters, as well as wonderful content introductions; 'In this lawless Dragon Ball world, there are horrors, demons, battles, blood, and the coolest fighters, the fiercest battles, the most incredible skills, and the most ......' Seeing this, many students were even more curious.
Then many people unconsciously looked at the stall of the comics, the more this person watched, the more Chinese are like this, everyone is from the hearts of the crowd, where the more lively the more drilled there.
The content of the manga is good, and the Dragon Ball series belongs to the more you look at it, the more attractive it becomes, and slowly some people buy it, and the sales have also increased.
Seeing the phone ringing one after another, Chen Yihua settled down and arranged it in an orderly manner; "Ah Shui, Zhao Kun, the two of you go separately, load magazines on the car, go one by one, remember how much each point has been distributed, make a note, which point is sold out, collect the money first"
"Yes, boss" After listening to Chen Yihua's words, He Shui and Zhao Kun answered neatly, and then began to load the magazines in the store into the car.
"Chai Mei, call and inform the publishing house, let them print another 10,000 points, and let Lao Li prepare to buy" Without waiting for the two of them to go out, Chen Yihua hurriedly instructed the glasses girl to start calling the publishing house to inform.
When everything was ordered, Chen Yihua's hanging mood finally came to pass, his first step was successful, his plan was not wrong, and it was better than he imagined.
'Andy, congratulations' Although he doesn't know how to do business, when he heard the phone call and looked at this scene, Lu Yan knew that the comics must be selling well.
'Thank you' held Lu Yan's shoulder, and Chen Yihua thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
