Looking at Cen Jianxun, who appeared in his office again after a week, Lin Xiaozhi frowned slightly.

"You've decided?" He sighed lightly, and a letter was placed on the table in front of him, although Lin Xiaozhi didn't open it, he also knew what it was.

"I'm 100% convinced that I'm doing nothing wrong......"

This is Cen Jianxun's reply, or it should be said that Lin Xiaozhi has long known the Tao. After Cen Jianxun returned from him that day, he began to take the initiative to hand over the work to Yu Zheng, vice president of Debao Cinema Line, it is impossible for no one to tell him about such a big move, Lin Xiaozhi knew a few days ago that Cen Jianxun had made a choice and was ready to resign as president of Debao Cinema Line.

What is now on his desk is naturally Cen Jianxun's resignation.

Shum Kin-fun's talent is obvious to all in Hong Kong. His managerial talent is the best in the Hong Kong film industry, but Lam Hau-chi can tolerate his stinky temper, but he can't accept that he is too deep in politics. So after the last persuasion was fruitless, he had completely given up on Cen Jianxun in his heart.

"This is my resignation, and I have handed over all the work of the theater chain to Yu Zheng. Lin Sheng can rest assured that her management experience in the theater line is not below me, and she is the most meticulous. I believe that under her management, there will be no problems"

This Yu Zheng Lin Xiaozhi has seen, she is a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old woman, she looks very neutral and tends to dress in a men's style, and there have been rumors that she is gay in the Hong Kong entertainment industry more than once. Lin Xiaozhi rarely asks about personal life issues, but Cen Jianxun recommended her to be the president of Debao Cinemas in the future, and he is still quite satisfied. There are many talented women in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and Yu Zheng is one of them, and he is the most famous. At the beginning of Debao's establishment, she was one of the veteran heroes, so she was often compared with Shi Nansheng.

"That's it, you've already made your choice, and I'm approving it"

Cen Jianxun's attitude has been decided, and Lin Xiaozhi no longer insists on it. Lao Cen played with fire too much last year, offended too many people by bombarding the mainland, and participated in the 'Sparrow Operation', and was even criticized by the bigwigs in Zhongnanhai. Lao Cen is also stubborn, and would rather give up his future than have the right to speak. Everyone has their own ambitions, and for their own interests, Lin Xiaozhi had no intention of retaining him, and directly approved his resignation.

Xu still remembered the embarrassment of the previous few days, after Cen Jianxun handed in his resignation, he didn't stay in his office for long before leaving, and left after chatting about some things on the side of the theater, leaving Lin Xiaozhi to sit alone in the office for a long time before he got up and walked out of the office with a long sigh and went upstairs.

Tianxia Publishing Company, since it was acquired by Lin Xiaozhi at the beginning of the year, he rarely cares about and interferes in the operation of the world, and basically lets Ma Rongcheng's gang toss. But not to mention, with his support for the world, no one in Yulang Company came to Ma Rongcheng for their trouble, and in the past few months, after getting Lin Xiaozhi's private two investment funds of about 7 million Hong Kong dollars, the world not only bought a printing house by itself, but also recruited troops and horses to expand rapidly, the previous leather bag publishing company with only a dozen people, a few tables, chairs, benches and eating tools, has now expanded to more than 40 employees.

"Lin Dong, how do you have time to come?"

Although they are all in the same building, Lin Xiaozhi has been too busy recently, only two floors up and down, and he has not been up for nearly two months, so that when Ma Rongcheng and his assistant were eating a boxed lunch and chatting, they suddenly saw him walk into the office hall and were stunned.

"I'll just come over and take a look, you eat first" Seeing Ma Rongcheng and them hurriedly packing up the unfinished lunch box, Lin Xiaozhi smiled and waved his hand, he admired these cartoonists whose heads were full of dreams and imagination. It was almost ten o'clock now, but the group had just had breakfast. Looking at the young people staring at the dark circles one by one, Lin Xiaozhi also has some understanding of the cruelty of competition in Hong Kong Comics.

The Hong Kong comic publishing market has always been very competitive, and in the 60s, Hong Kong's comic market has been dominated by Japanese comics and American comics in turn, especially Japanese comics. Until the emergence of Huang Yulang, Shangguan Xiaobao and a group of people, in the mid-to-late seventies, Hong Kong comics have come from behind, not only the Japanese and American comics have laid down the sales list, but also counterattacked to Japan, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and even the traditional markets of Japanese comics such as American Chinatown.

After the 80s, Hong Kong Man entered the most prosperous period. However, this prosperity is based on the desperate explosion of a few master cartoonists, which can only be regarded as a deformed prosperity.

In Hong Kong, the best selling works are the works of so many masters, and it is possible to print tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of copies in one issue, while it is not only difficult for new writers to publish, but also difficult to make money. This has led to the income of Hong Kong's master cartoonists getting higher and higher, but the loss of newcomers has been large, and in recent years, except for one Ma Rongcheng, few newcomers in Hong Kong have debuted and become famous. Looking at the entire Hong Kong comic, shoddy production and follow-up abound. Lin Xiaozhi once bought a few Hong Kong comics out of boredom, including Huang Yulang's "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and Shangguan Xiaobao's "Bruce Lee", the early protagonists and supporting roles were completely the same face, and the similarity was as high as 95%, and it only changed slightly in the middle of the year, and it didn't look obvious.

Hong Kong comics' survival is suddenly far worse than that of American comics and Japanese comics, and there are only two main ways to make money, namely newspaper serialization and comic book publishing. Although the Hong Kong film industry is developed, because most Hong Kong comic works are too bloody and difficult to shoot, few Hong Kong comics are adapted into movies. In addition, Hong Kong comics, which are famous in the world for martial arts, have no chance with animation adaptations, toy publishing, etc., because of their cuteness and too bloody.

The main source of income for Commonwealth Publishing is newspaper serialization and publishing. Except for the perverted Huang Yulang's "Dragon and Tiger Gate", which used to publish a volume every half a month to a month, the vast majority of cartoonists in Hong Kong will choose two or three months to publish a volume, or even more than half a year. There are now four or five comics in the world that are being created, but most of them are not selling very well, and now they mainly rely on Ma Rongcheng's "World Painting Collection" Yu Fengyun, which has not been renamed at this time) to support the scene.

"The World Picture Collection" is now mainly serialized in "Shengbao" and "Cheng Pao", with an uninterrupted update every day, in addition to the comics, which are published every three months, and can bring six or seven hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars of net profit to the world almost every month, but can barely make up for the loss of other comics. However, overall, because the scale of the world has grown and grown, and there are still more than 40 mouths to eat, if it were not for Lin Xiaozhi, a big financier, it would be difficult to maintain the world's publishing that has not yet achieved profitability.

Ma Rongcheng and the others obviously knew this, so when they saw Lin Xiaozhi, they took the initiative to come over. I thought he was coming to make trouble, and he couldn't even eat well. After picking up a few bites of boxed lunch, Ma Rongcheng didn't let him wait longer, so he invited Lin Xiaozhi into his office and invited him to sit at his desk, but he stood aside, waiting to be trained! Appearance.

"Lin Dong, Rong Cheng is incompetent. It's been a year since the publishing house was founded, and it's still losing money."

Lin Xiaozhi waved his hand when he heard this, he didn't expect to make a profit immediately after acquiring the world. And to be honest, if the world hadn't been in line with his 'big group, omni-channel, planning, maintaining the original scale of more than a dozen people, not blindly expanding, and only concentrating on drawing a comic book of "The World Painting Collection", it would have been profitable a long time ago. After all, the sales of "Tianxia Picture Collection" in Hong Kong are very good, although it cannot catch up with the average sales of more than 100,000 copies of Ma Rongcheng when he painted "Chinese Heroes" in Yulang Company, but the sales of the two previous volumes have also exceeded 50,000 copies, showing the strength and influence of a generation of comic masters in Hong Kong.

"Don't overthink it, I've said it before. After the acquisition of Tianxia, I will continue to invest more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars in Tianxia. Now I want to reiterate that you just need to develop and expand steadily, train more manga artists, learn from the excellent experience of Japan, and develop the company as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if you can make a profit in the first three years."

In addition to trying to explore the fact that movies change novels and comics to increase profits, Lin Xiaozhi also hopes to get more high-quality scripts from the publishing industry, and his attempt is nothing, but it is just a loss of tens of millions.

The level of Hong Kong screenwriters has always been uneven, and due to the long-term lack of attention from the Hong Kong film industry, the imagination is seriously rigid. Lin Xiaozhi has been thinking about how to break this deadlock, and has already had some cases about it. However, in order to fundamentally change the shortcomings of Hong Kong's too few good scripts, we cannot just count on the Hong Kong film and television industry, which has only more than 100,000 practitioners, but also look in other directions. And he is eyeing the Hong Kong novel and comic industry, because there are still many people who are good at writing stories in the declining novel and comic industry.

When Ma Rongcheng saw that he didn't come to blame himself, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay to come over today.,I'm just going to see the novel I gave you in the middle of the year.,How is the comic book adaptation?"

Earlier, Lin Xiaozhi got a script, because this script is more suitable for adapting comics and novel versions, so Lin Xiaozhi not only recruited several novel authors to create the novel version for him, but also threw the adapted novel version to the world, hoping that they would adapt the comics. It's been almost half a year, and Ma Rongcheng and they did come up with two versions before, but unfortunately Lin Xiaozhi was not very satisfied, so he took it back and asked them to continue the adaptation, and a few months passed.

Lin Xiaozhi recently had the idea that his next movie would shoot this script, so come and take a look, and prepare to launch the novel and the comic version at the same time to test the water and increase channel income.

Ma Rongcheng was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded and said: "I have already made the new version, according to your previous suggestion, Lin Dong, I have cut the conflicts and fight scenes in the comics a lot." Please wait for me......"

He went out for a moment, and only returned about two minutes later, still with a stack of originals in his hand.

"It's all here, Lin Dong, please take a look."

"Thank you for your hard work" Lin Xiaozhi took the sketch with a smile, but saw Ma Rongcheng pushing his glasses, and his brows were already wrinkled.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing" Ma Rongcheng shook his head, "I actually have some doubts about the new print, so I didn't send it to Lin Dong after I got it." As per your request, the story is almost half as streamlined as the second edition. But in this way, these drawings are only enough to publish one RK version of the manga......"

Lin Xiaozhi smiled dumbly when he heard this, this is actually not a problem at all. It's just that Ma Rongcheng was influenced too much by Hong Kong comics' long story, and the concept that the longer the comics, the better, has been deeply imprinted in his bones. In fact, it's no wonder that he thinks so, Hong Kong's three hottest Hong Kong comics, Huang Yulang's "Dragon and Tiger Gate" has been serialized since the summer of 1970, and it has been almost 20 years. Shangguan Xiaobao's "Bruce Lee" is the same, it has been serialized since the early 70s, and it has been more than ten years. Even his "Chinese Heroes" has been serialized since 8 years, even if he Ma Rongcheng left Yulang Company, there are still other cartoonists who take over to continue creating.

In today's Hong Kong comics industry, comics want to make money, and the longer the better, it is a truth, just like the online novels in the mainland in later generations want to make money, and the longer the water, the better.

"It doesn't need to be that long, one book is enough for the time being. If the movie sells well and makes a second part, there will be a follow-up "

Lin Xiaozhi replied with a smile, then lowered his head and looked at the original manuscript in his hand with full attention.

"The Black Death, recognized by the scientific community as the most harmful infectious disease to mankind, has killed at least 300 million people in recorded history. In the Middle Ages, the Black Death spread across Europe, and the corpses of all countries were scattered all over the country, and the streets were full of starvation, which also caused many documents and paintings to be created by all walks of life in Europe. However, human beings have an innate desire to conquer the unknown. In 1939, as a military madman who advocated the supremacy of race took control of Germany, at his request, a group of mad scientists set their sights on the 'Black Death virus' at the call of his pure world, and tried in vain to conquer it completely, becoming a great weapon disaster, and once again befell ......"

After looking at this preface for a moment, Lin Xiaozhi looked at the eye-catching four big characters on the homepage - Resident Evil
