Chapter 321: Merger of the Three Major Societies
Sure enough, Natsuno Yuuki, the protagonist of "Ghoul", turned into a ghoul when he appeared again, which was not unexpected by manga fans. However, Yuki Natsuno is not an ordinary ghoul who transforms, but a complete body ghoul, also known as a human wolf.
In the setting of the manga "Ghoul", although the human wolf and the ordinary ghoul are both formed after death, the two cannot be generalized. Unlike ghouls, human wolves can not only appear in the daytime, but are not afraid of sunlight, and the most important thing is that human wolves can survive by eating ordinary food, unlike ghouls who can survive by sucking blood.
In addition, compared to ordinary ghouls, as long as the human wolf can suck human blood, the overall strength can skyrocket in a short period of time, and the combat power is far from being comparable to that of ordinary ghouls.
Of course, the human wolf is also a form of ghouls after all, and naturally there is a similar existence with ghouls, that is, there is no body temperature of the human body, and it is easy to feel it through guò contact.
However, Natsuno Yuuki is already quite 'excited' for manga fans to be able to become a human wolf. For them, Yuuki Natsuno should not be like a ghoul who sucks blood and kills people at every turn, and his heart does not change. In this way, the faint uneasiness in the hearts of comic book fans was released, and they turned to support "Ghouls" again. 》
It can be said that comic book fans are easily satisfied, as long as the cartoonists don't get angry and resentful.
In fact, if you look through the comics that have died the protagonist, you will find that the protagonists who really die are often on the side of evil, and of course there are also vague concepts like Lelouch about whether they are alive and dead. Needless to say, the representative of the former is the protagonist of "Death Note", Yagami Tsuki, if Yagami Moon still maintains the mental death at the beginning. The sense of rebellion among comic book fans is naturally strong. It's a pity that the night god moon did the opposite, and began to do whatever it took to achieve the goal as her self-confidence grew. Even his girlfriend and little sister were used, and such a scene naturally made many comic fans indifferent to the death of Ye Shenyue, no way, Ye Shenyue had already made people angry at that time.
As for Lelouch's good and evil, it is indeed a bit difficult to distinguish, but in general, although Lelouch often uses his abilities to use others, he has not committed great evil, and he has regretted doing wrong things. In the end, he sacrificed himself for the unification of the world. It was Lelouch who gave a vague idea of the ending, and it also gave comic book fans thoughts.
And like the characters of the good camp in "Dragon Ball" and Ash in "Pokemon", although they died. But they will always be successfully resurrected, which is really another matter. Except that cartoonists ignore their own interests, otherwise they would not draw this type of protagonist to death.
Just when the plot of "Ghouls" began to enter the late stage, Ken Obata finally completed the first issue of "Dream Eater". I want to make a deep impression on manga fans and make good use of the first page when I started serialization. The first issue of "Dream Eater" took Ken Obata two weeks. The length of the article is more than 50 pages, which is enough to complete two or three issues.
However, Zhao Chen has a blind eye to this, and he often does this kind of thing. Although more space will make less money, Zhao Chen has no intention of objecting, what he wants is to be a blockbuster, so that he can use this comic to attract the attention of more comic fans, so that his plan can unfold smoothly.
"Dream Eater" is an inspirational manga with very good character styling. Although the protagonist is a bit short, this height is very suitable for the main group of people who read the manga - teenagers. The sense of substitution is naturally not bad.
In addition, this manga will give viewers an insight into the process of producing manga, the hard work of manga artists, and the general structure of manga clubs. In general, as long as this manga is a hit, then not only will Tianxia Society be able to become famous, but comic fans will also be able to understand the troubles of cartoonists.
Excluding lazy cartoonists like Yoshihiro Tomiyasu, the vast majority of cartoonists are quite disciplined, and almost every issue of work can be completed on time. However, just like the one in "Dream Eater", if you serialize weekly comics, the premise is perfect, even if you have an assistant to help you complete the task, it is quite hard, not to mention that drawing comics is a long-term job, and it is easy to make people feel tired.
It is precisely for this reason that cartoonists with professional ethics tend to devote all their time, so there is no time to exercise, and the body can be imagined. At first, it may be okay, and you can still support it with one go, but as long as it takes a long time, when you are physically and mentally exhausted, you will often get sick, not only will the quality of comics be reduced, but also the life and health of hài cartoonists will be endangered.
You must know that there are many cartoonists who work hard, so there will be sudden death occasionally. It's almost never reported in the news media, unless it's a well-known cartoonist who dies.
Like cartoonists, the same is true for novelists, of course, compared with regular novelists, the probability of sudden death of online writers is undoubtedly higher, and tens of thousands of words of updates every day are enough to make people physically and mentally exhausted and shrouded in stress for a long time. Sometimes it is because of some things and have to stay up all night to update, in order not to lose faith in others, so in the case of physical and mental exhaustion, the body collapses at the same time, and the probability of sudden death can be imagined.
In short, as long as the daily work is busy and the work of the brain, the probability of sudden death of such people is often very high.
When the serialization of "Dream Eater" came down, more and more comic fans began to understand Tianxiashe. Similarly, although the Tianxia Society in "Dream Eater" is the same as in reality, there are still some beautifications or expansions, in order to spread the Tianxia Society at the same time, so that more comic fans like the Tianxia Society to build a sense of belonging.
In fact, the same is true of "Dream Eater" in the previous life, but the object of service is different, and the effect can be said to be quite good, and the Shueisha at that time has become more famous in China, and it is known by many manga fans abroad.
When the average comic book fan reads a comic magazine, at most they memorize the name of the magazine they like to read, and a few will be bored to memorize the name of the comic club.
Generally speaking, if you want to expand a company's fame, it is to establish so-called communication channels, and the best results are undoubtedly the following: one. The power of the media and newspapers, as long as you have a topic and money to advertise. Second, there is a huge sustainable topicality. The media will take the initiative to help you make a name for yourself, and it's hard to say whether it's positive or negative, but it doesn't cost money. Third, let the company become the forefront of the industry, and the highest ranking is naturally better, so that more people will remember it with their hearts, and it is best to directly become the NO1 in the country or even the world.
Of course, this should be the fastest three-point option. If it is used in an ordinary way, the effect will undoubtedly be much slower, and it will be spread by everyone.
This form of "Dream Eater" is actually similar to the communication power of the media. After all, "Young SORA" has more than 6 million horror sales per issue in the island country, and such sales figures are not comparable to ordinary media newspapers. Even if there are quite a few newspapers and magazines, there are not many. The most important thing is not this, generally speaking, many people only pick their favorite topics when they read the newspaper, and many people only see half of the content. But "Young SORA" is different. The parts serialized in this comic weekly are all high-quality products, and there are many classics among them. In addition, the price is not low for comic fans, and in this case, the vast majority of comic fans will choose to read it.
In addition to this situation, there are also many shy manga fans who choose to borrow someone else's to watch, and how can this kind of newspaper be compared. It can be said that the effect of this method of communication is unusually amazing.
In addition, Tianxia Club is also the NO1 in the comics industry, although it is only temporary. Although the merger of the three major societies will definitely be able to suppress the world society, it is currently NO1 after all. The increase in the reputation of such leading enterprises can be imagined.
It can be said that the fame of the world society is now expanding day by day, and the influence linked to fame can be imagined.
Influence and fame are very important for a comic club, and many comic novices value fame when choosing a comic club, followed by nature. In other words, in this case, the influx of talents will also increase, which is enough to realize the metabolism of the comic club and enhance the strength of the comic club.
This is also commonly known as the strong are stronger, the weaker the weaker, in this case, those small and medium-sized comic clubs can only drink the leftover soup that the large comic clubs don't want, and the lucky ones will dig out a talent from these leftover soups, and this talent is often not hot, it is likely to be poached by the larger comic clubs, woohoo lament!
In fact, this situation is the same as business wars, it is related to their own development, and no company boss will keep his hands. Even Zhao Chen is no exception, you must know that Zhao Chen is even more ruthless in digging up people, digging up the future pillars and potential stocks of other comic clubs, so this situation has emerged.
Just when the fame of the Tianxia Society was in full swing, an expected and unexpected thing finally happened.
After a year of planning and preparation, the merger plan of Shogakukan, Shueisha and Shiraizumensha was finally officially approved, and the three major publishers merged to form Hitotsubashi Publishing Group!
This is just like the mythical Sanqing, red pepper wood and green lotus leaves, and the three religions were originally one family. Of course, although the mythical Sanqing are all incarnated by the Pangu Yuan God, in addition to the good relationship between the three at the beginning, after the sanctification, due to personal selfishness, they finally separated, so there was a separation of the two religions, and finally due to the difference in personal intentions, thus forming the battle of the gods.
However, the three major societies were eventually merged, and the main reason was naturally the relationship between the three major societies. Shueisha is separated from the Elementary School, and the White Springs Society is separated from Shueisha, of which the Shogakukan, which is the second largest publishing house in the island country, is undoubtedly the leader, forming a leading role, coupled with the rise of the Tianxia Society, in this case, it finally merged again, wanting to dominate the manga industry of the island country and suppress the Tianxia Society.
When the news of the successful merger of the three major societies came out, both small and medium-sized comic clubs and comic giants felt a huge crisis coming. Of course, compared with small and medium-sized comic clubs like cannon fodder, the resistance of comic giants is undoubtedly much stronger, but if there are no measures, even the influence of comic giants will slowly weaken year after year, and as long as time passes, the greater the danger will be.
However, since the merger of the three major societies, the only ones that can become manga giants are Hitotsubashi Publishing Group, Tiantensha, and Kodansha, and although Shogakukan, Shueisha, and Shiraizawa can still be called, they have undoubtedly become history.
Among them, Hitotsubashi Publishing Group can be said to be the common enemy of all comic clubs, but unfortunately the competition between the comic industry is very simple, the main thing is to compare quality, reputation and influence, and the price will be hehe in the future. The profit of the publishing industry is not high compared to goods such as clothing, and it basically belongs to the type of small profits and quick turnover, even if the price is reduced, it is quite limited. Not to mention, comic magazines are not bulk items. Many people are not only too lazy to look at the price when they buy, but even if they see it, they don't count the difference, and all price wars can be directly eliminated.
After all, after the merger of the three major publishers, Kodansha's reputation as the No. 1 publishing house maintained for so many years was snatched away, which was a great shame for Kodansha's top management. However, Kodansha has no choice but to try to strengthen itself to regain this honor.
As for the Tianxia Society. Although the name of the First Comics Club is gone, after all, it hasn't sat for a long time, and Zhao Chen doesn't care about it. In the same way, he is very confident in his Tianxia Society. In his opinion, Tiantensha now has five major manga publications, and "Shonen Sora" alone sells more than 6 million sales per issue, which is more than enough to offset the combined sales of Shueisha and Shogakukan's major manga weeklies. And there's a little leftover. Plus the other four major comic publications. All things combined, it's not much worse than Hitotsubashi Publishing Group.
Theoretically speaking,Although the Tianxia Society was driven back to the position of the second child,But if the two sides are about the comic industry,In fact, the Tianxia Society is not much different.,As long as the Tianxia Society is given more time,According to this development, I'm afraid it will be surpassed in a year or two.。
The sales and achievements of the two sides in the main manga publications can be said to be offset, and the Hitotsubashi Publishing Group won because it had a large number of minor manga publications, and it took a lot to suppress Tianxiasha. Although in minor publications. There are not many tenxia companies that have acquired Akita Shoten and Yoshibunsha, but they can be compared to each other. It is undoubtedly dwarfed, and this is the standard number of oppressive.
If you count the total sales of a comic club, the world is not as good as it. Compared with its bloated Hitotsubashi Publishing Group, Tianxia has significantly fewer employees, but because the total sales volume is not much different, fewer employees means less expenditure. The other is the relationship between Zhao Chen, because the Tianxia Society is owned by Zhao Chen personally, and the profits of the Tianxia Society are actually Zhao Chen's profits, so there is no need to include Zhao Chen when the Tianxia Society calculates the profits, plus many cartoonists have a cooperative relationship with Zhao Chen, so naturally their interest expenditure is less than half. It can be said that in terms of cost, the two sides are not of the same grade.
Of course, these are all counted separately by the three major societies, after all, since the three major societies have just merged, it will undoubtedly take a certain amount of time to achieve the best state, even if the three major societies have some historical origins.
However, what Zhao Chen hopes most is that the employees of Shueisha and Shogakukan are blushing when they meet, you must know that when Shueisha's "Shonen JUMP" was just created, Shogaishan and Kodansha were jointly suppressed, although it was not successful in the end, but Liangzi was concluded. On the other hand, since "Shonen Jump" won the first place in sales that year, it has been suppressing the main manga weekly magazine of Shogakukan, and the anger that has accumulated in the hearts of Shogakukan's employees can be imagined.
As for the White Spring Club, this comic club is obviously lacking in foundation, and it is the obvious bottom of the three major clubs, and the status of the employees of the White Spring Club after the merger can be imagined.
In other words, after the merger of the three major societies, it is possible that there will be adverse effects for these reasons, and at least some old people will choose to quit, and their strength is likely to decrease for a certain period of time.
In addition to these, in order to facilitate the office, the office address of the Hitotsubashi Publishing Group must be planned, although the three major companies are located in Chiyoda Ward, but Chiyoda Ward is obviously not small, and the distance between the three major companies is not short, and after the office address is established, the employees at the bottom will more or less resign, which is also a necessary procedure after the merger.
The next thing is the integration between the cartoonists of the three major societies.,Because the three major societies used to stage 'infighting' often.,Some cartoonists who belong to different comic clubs may see the enemy's eyes.,Plus each cartoonist has unhappy peers and various habits.,It can be said that there will also be the departure of cartoonists.。
The scale of the merger of the three major societies is quite large, with a total of more than 2,000 employees, not including any cartoonists. With so many people, the combined Hitotsubashi Publishing Group is likely to be in a state of management chaos, which will also lead to a lack of personnel.
In other words, the strong alliance seems to be very famous, but there are many drawbacks, and it takes a lot of time and energy to integrate alone, so that all the strengths can be brought into play.
Unlike Hitotsubashi Publishing Group, Tianxiasha's acquisition of Akita Shoten and Fangbunsha is obviously a big fish eating small fish, not to mention that there are not many contradictions between the two sides, and the disadvantages are much smaller. In addition, the scale of the two comic clubs is far less than that of the comic giants, and the time for integration is naturally much smaller.
Both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages to a greater or lesser extent, not to mention that Tiantensha is also in an alliance with Kodansha and Kadokawa Shoya, so Tianxiasha will not be afraid of the behemoth of Hitotsubashi Publishing Group, but will have the idea of stepping on the soles of his feet again.
When Zhao Chen thought of this, he put his mind at ease, and immediately began to think about his next plan, so that the Tianxia Society could become bigger and bigger. (To be continued......)
