Chapter Seventy-Eight: Someone from the Elementary School Hall
Just when Huang Yulang was pondering in his heart how to deal with Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen was sitting on the chair at this time, looking at the sales number handed over by his employees, with a smile on his face.
"Very good, 130,000, maybe tomorrow will be the time to break the record! I think those media reporters will be very happy to report, Huang Yulang, Huang Yulang, you will be trampled under my feet after all! â
Zhao Chen finished reading the count, his face was full of confident smiles, some time ago Huang Yulang wanted to deal with him one after another, although he used various connections to resolve them one by one, but the relationship between the two also became hateful, and they regarded each other as Xiangjiang's biggest opponent.
"Uncle Shangguan, I don't know how the statistics are on Treasure Island and Nanyang?"
The single book of "Football Player" can be said to be distributed in Xiangjiang, Baodao and Nanyang at the same time, but the difference is that he does not have a publishing house in Baodao and Nanyang, and if he goes abroad, it will undoubtedly outweigh the losses.
"It's 50,000 copies on the Nanyang side, but it's strange on the treasure island side, and now 100,000 copies have been sold!"
Shangguan Xiaobao had doubts on his face, the number in Nanyang was relatively normal, but it was unexpected on the side of Baodao, after all, there were a lot of pirated copies in the two places, which greatly reduced the sales of more expensive genuine copies.
"There's nothing strange about this, haven't you forgotten that the background of "Football Player" is not set on Treasure Island, I still think this sales are small!"
Zhao Chen waved his hand, the reason why he shot the background on the treasure island was not only rigorous and convenient, but also for another purpose was undoubtedly to increase sales. From the current point of view, sales have undoubtedly increased a lot, but pirated copies are undoubtedly sold more than the original ones. After all, the main consumer groups of "Football Player" are teenagers, who generally have little money and no sense of copyright, which leads to the proliferation of piracy.
Of course, this is different in Xiangjiang, mainly because Xiangjiang belongs to the world's third largest financial city, and there are too many wealthy people, so there will be a single book that has sold more than 100,000 yuan.
In order to respond in time, Zhao Chen has been sitting here to work in the past few days, and he has been going to Shangguan Xiaobao at night, so it can be said that he has not left behind in his work. As long as Wen Rui finishes handling the affairs of Baodao, he will be able to ghostwrite "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and then he will be able to spare a lot of time to expand the world's comic company.
Just when Zhao Chen was completely immersed in work, Shangguan Xiaobao, who was not far away, suddenly received a phone call, and after saying a few words, his face obviously became a lot more solemn, and there was also a trace of excitement in his eyes.
"Zhao Chen!"
"What's wrong?"
"Guess who made that call just now, you can't imagine it!"
"Uncle Shangguan, how can I know, hurry up, don't play dumb riddles."
"Shogakukan!"
When Shangguan Xiaobao spit out these three words, Zhao Chen couldn't help but be stunned, why is it not Shueisha!
"Uncle Shangguan, are you saying that the call just now was really from the Primary School Hall?"
Zhao Chen quickly reacted that "Football Player" was originally serialized and published in Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump", but this time it was not Shueisha that was contacted, but the Shogakukan, which had to make Zhao Chen think deeply.
"It was a marketing manager from the primary school hall who called, and wanted to visit you, if I guessed correctly, I think I wanted the exercise of "Football Player" in the island country!"
"I'm afraid that they are so eager to acquire the exercise rights when they see that "Football Player" is so hot and suitable for the readers of the primary school hall, so when will they come?"
"Soon!"
Zhao Chen nodded, returned to his seat, held his chin and closed his eyes to think, calculating the pros and cons.
As Shangguan Xiaobao said, it didn't take long for an island man with a mustache under his nostrils to politely enter the office of Tianxia Comics Company.
The island native was about forty years old, short in height, with a smile on his face, looked up at the office and asked in awkward Cantonese: "Hello, contemptible Miyamoto Chi Xiang, may I ask who is Zhao Chenjun?" â
"I am!" Although Zhao Chen doesn't like the island people, he still has basic politeness, especially the person who came is also the marketing manager of the Elementary School Museum, one of the three major comic clubs in the island country, if he wants to successfully break into the island country in the future, he must not offend this behemoth lightly.
The primary school hall in this era is no worse than Shueisha in terms of sales, and the primary school hall is mainly for primary and secondary school students, and it is also the oldest storage zĂ i of the three major comic clubs, which is also the storage zĂ i that Zhao Chen is most afraid of. After all, with such a long history and status, the connections in the island country can be imagined.
Miyamoto Chi Xiang set his eyes on Zhao Chen, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, although he knew that Zhao Chen was very young before he came, but he just didn't expect that he would be so young. In the comics industry, age is negligible, but the younger you are, the better your grades are, and you can have the title of genius, which makes Miyamoto Chi Xiang obviously pay a lot of attention to it, he knows that he can become a well-known cartoonist in Xiangjiang at this age, which shows Zhao Chen's skills and talent.
"I didn't expect Zhao Chenjun to be so young, it's really disrespectful!"
Miyamoto Chi Xiang bowed his short body slightly to Zhao Chen to apologize.
"Mr. Miyamoto, please be seated! I wonder what you have to do with me this time? â
Zhao Chen may have guessed Miyamoto Chi Xiang's intention in his heart, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked, otherwise he might offend the marketing manager of the primary school hall.
Ikesho Miyamoto sat on a chair and looked at the busy employees in the small office, his face becoming more solemn. Before coming, Miyamoto Chi Xiang naturally investigated Zhao Chen, and there may not be much information, but this information alone is enough to show Zhao Chen's ability.
According to the information collected by these subordinates, Zhao Chen's current status is completely realized by his own strength, and there is no water at all, and in just a few months, he has his own comic company and publishing house, which can be said to be young and promising. According to Miyamoto Chi Xiang's feelings, if Zhao Chen continues to show like this, his future achievements are likely to be above Huang Yulang.
"Contemptible people wanted to come to see Zhao Chenjun a few months ago, and I have also read Zhao Chenjun's "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", which can be said to be quite good, but unfortunately I came one step late, but I was preempted by Xiangtian Jun!" Miyamoto Chi Xiang did not immediately say the purpose, but secretly complimented Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen showed a seasonal smile on his face, but he didn't believe it at all in his heart, mainly because the main group of the primary school hall is primary and secondary school students, but the group of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is teenagers, so it can be said that there is almost no possibility of cooperation between the two in nature! Moreover, although "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was distributed by Shueisha three months ago, the results achieved are not too ideal, and it can only be said that it is not up to it.
"Mr. Miyamoto, that's a shame!" Zhao Chen said this in his mouth, but there was no pity on his face, if Shueisha and Shogakukan let him choose the exercise of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Zhao Chen's choice was still inclined to Shueisha, because Shueisha was more suitable for "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
Miyamoto Chi Xiang frowned, his intention could actually be heard in what he said before, but I don't know if Zhao Chen couldn't hear it, or pretended not to ask. In short, Miyamoto Ikesho can't figure it out.
"Zhao Chenjun, although it is a pity that "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was preempted by Shueisha, but I heard that Zhao Chenjun created a new comic "Football Player" again some time ago, and I hope to cooperate with Zhao Chenjun!"
"Mr. Miyamoto, do you think 'Soccer Player' will be a success in your country? It will not be like "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" can only get mediocre sales! â
Zhao Chenjun laughed, the nature and style of these two comics are different! And "Football Player" is obviously more suitable for readers in China, in terms of the quality and style of "Football Player", as long as Zhao Chenjun cooperates with the Primary School, perhaps it will achieve terrifying results, which is a win-win situation for both of us, I hope Zhao Chenjun can agree. â
Seeing that Zhao Chen was talking about him left and right, Miyamoto Chi Xiang had no choice but to give up his purpose for this, and in his opinion, Zhao Chen was likely to agree.
"This ...... Mr. Miyamoto probably doesn't know that "Football Player" will not be sold under the exercise of power in your country, so I am tired of Mr. Miyamoto coming here! â
Zhao Chen's idea is quite simple, he wants to go to the island country, and the status of "Football Player" in his mind can be said to be quite important, so important that it is related to the achievements that can be achieved in the future.
