Chapter 152: Snatching Hong Kong Comics Talent (2nd Update)
Looking at the puzzled three, Yang Yun said in a deep voice: "I have a dream, and I have always wanted to create a super game empire. But in the process, I slowly realized that if you just make a game, you can't realize it completely. So I had to enter the animation industry, the semiconductor industry, the computer industry, and the publishing industry, because these are all closely related to the game industry. ”
After a pause, Yang Yun looked at Cheng Long and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng Long knows about my recent game project. It's a big arcade game in the fighting genre, where the king of fighting is chosen from famous martial artists from all over Shijie, and of course features Chinese kung fu as the main character. But it's not enough to rely on games to promote Chinese martial arts, we need more. ”
Huang Yi became excited when he heard this: "Chinese martial arts fighting games? What is the situation? ”
Knowing that fans of this game couldn't wait, Yang Yun smiled and told the general situation of the King of Fighters.
Yang Yun continued: "Now that the characters have been determined, and the moves have almost been implemented, Yuan Baye, Hung Jinbao, and those descendants of Wing Chun Jeet Kune Do have all been in place to design movements for the game characters. What I want to do below is that one is an adaptation of a martial arts manga, and the other is a novel tailored for the game! ”
Doing this, Yang Yun knew that it was very disadvantageous, because most of this routine in later generations came in reverse.
First there are novels, then there are comics and movies, and zuihou is the game.
Or simply Fengyun Comics came out first, and directly adapted the movie, zuihou is the game.
For example, many of the great gods of the starting point Chinese network only wrote novels at the beginning. This was followed by the publication of Traditional and Simplified Chinese. followed by film and television script adaptation, zuihou is a web game adaptation and mobile game adaptation.
All in all. This way of playing has always been the narrowest audience, so under normal circumstances, developers have to dig deep into the market, and after all kinds of means have been exhausted, Zuihou will consider the game.
Although Pokemon is also in this mode, Yang Yun clearly knows how many dollars Pikachu has made.
And the King of Fighters has never done this, this is a new thing, if you use Longteng's own team. If you can promote the King of Fighters in such a reverse set, and it has been a huge success, it means that things are possible!
Yang Yun wants to use the King of Fighters to shiyan, but he wants to come in reverse.
The King of Fighters game was launched first, which became the benchmark for fighting games, and then comics, novels, and movies were launched, and reverse promotion.
Such an approach. There are also successful, but few, such as Shanda's "Legend of Blood", which is written by the editor-in-chief of Biluo Huangquan of the starting point Chinese.com.
But throughout the history of gaming. How many have succeeded in this way? It's hard to say!
If that's not possible, then don't say anything.
If it works, hum!
Yang Yun is well developed!
Hokage's game. One Piece game, Detective Conan's escape room game. As long as Yang Yun wants to make it, he can create it! It's done. Then sell the comic adaptation rights, let the Japanese make comics, and make money for Yang Yun to work!
Yang Yun said eloquently: "Just now, I objected to the introduction of Japanese comics mentioned by Brother Zhenlong, mainly because the commercial elements of Japanese comics are too strong, and many of them are the same model, and they purely treat comics as commodities in production. Hong Kong comics, on the other hand, are very distinctive, with hard-core lines and Chinese-style ink, with a unique style of painting, which is very popular with Chinese people. And the local market in Hong Kong is not large, I want to keep this pure land, not affected by the external environment, and make Hong Kong comics into a unique and unique painting style! ”
Huang Yulang didn't know the consequences of introducing Japanese comics?
As a practitioner, he has seen too many Japanese master works, handsome or cute characters, completely different from the realistic characters in Hong Kong, and the content of Japanese comics is mostly empty and bloody, which is also very different from the mainstream Hong Kong comics that now depict black fights.
Wong Yuk Long is the pioneer and leader of Hong Kong comics, although he himself has resisted Japanese comics from the heart, but he can't resist the huge financial pressure, he has to make this choice.
Yang Yun continued: "I know that Brother Zhenlong is under great economic pressure now, but I really hope to be able to retain Hong Kong characteristics, the King of Fighters game, I expect it to be released early next year, the profit generated by this game, about tens of millions of dollars, this money, I want to take it out as a start-up capital, invested in the Hong Kong publishing industry, I hope to get the help of a few big brothers!" ”
Cheng Long was the first to say: "I'll say it first!" Although the economic conditions of Chenglong Company at this stage are not very good, when Brother Yang needs my help, I will do everything I can to carry forward Chinese kung fu, which is my lifelong dream! ”
Huang Yi's mind turned the fastest, he already had the idea of running a publishing house on his own, and now there is such an opportunity, and it can be guaranteed to be his favorite martial arts dream, he has no reason to refuse: "As long as you can let me create martial arts, count me in!" ”
Yang Yun was quite happy, held Huang Yi's hand and said, "Brother Zu Qiang is willing to join, that's the best!" In the future, all the martial arts novels and games you create will be handed over to me to develop, and I promise to make you a master who is no less famous than Jin Gu! ”
Huang Yi hahadaxiao, his martial arts novel has not been skimmed yet, Yang Yun praised him so much, it really made him a little fluttery!
And Huang Yulang gritted his teeth for a long time and asked, "Are you going to recruit Ma Rongcheng as well?" But his world publishing house is doing well, I'm afraid it ......"
Yang Yun waved his hand: "I'm worried about you......"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was overshadowed again, these three Hong Kong people have more or less heard of the ending of similar things, it seems that if there is no miracle, Huang Yulang's ending must be in prison!
Huang Yulang is definitely not in the mood to create a King of Fighters comic now, so the most suitable person is, of course, Ma Rongcheng, and he himself has to see if he can survive this catastrophe!
Of course, even if there is no comic matching, The King of Fighters will still shine, but this kind of icing on the cake can also save the Hong Kong comic industry by the way, no matter what, Yang Yun will take action.
Cheng Long sighed with some emotion: "Zhenlong, don't be discouraged, how hard you should work, you still have to do it, don't give up!" Brother Yang can build the animation and game industry in Chinese mainland, which is almost zero-based, and presumably the revitalization and continuation of Hong Kong comics will also be reborn with his help! ”
Several friends are encouraging Huang Yulang, and Yang Yun can only sigh, he doesn't understand this kind of thing, I'm afraid he can't get involved, at most, let Yuan Xinyi come over to help sort out the accounts, but the empty money and fake accounts have been verified by the Hong Kong audit department, and Huang Yulang is afraid that he will be in a catastrophe!
It's just that Yang Yun interrupted it like this, and the idea of Yulang Publishing House to introduce Japanese comics has been dispelled a lot, maybe it will be delayed for another year and a half, and when the King of Fighters comics are popular all over Hong Kong and Asia, I am afraid that the atmosphere of Hong Kong's comics industry has changed dramatically, and Hong Kong comics may regain confidence!
Under the recommendation of Huang Yulang, Yang Yun and several people met Ma Rongcheng together, the owner of the World Publishing House is less than 30 years old, not much older than Yang Yun, and everyone is a person in the circle, and there are many common topics.
In Yang Yun's Jihua, the position of the main comic master of Longteng Hong Kong Publishing House is still left to Huang Yulang, so the master of Ma, who created the "Fengyun" series, if he can't be subdued, then he can only cooperate.
The King of Fighters' comics, this has been done for many years! The King of Fighters has been in development for seven or eight years, so how can the manga not be lower than this number, right? Handed over to Ma Rongcheng, Yang Yun was a little worried.
However, when Ma Rongcheng took out the "World Painting Collection" that had been published for nearly a year, and looked at Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, Yang Yun finally put his mind at ease and had an idea: "Editor-in-Chief Ma, I am willing to hand over the King of Fighters to you, but there is one only condition!" ”
Ma Rongcheng said with a smile: "Everyone calls me Ma Zai, you can also call me like this, it's too raw to call something else!" Say, what conditions? ”
Yang Yun smiled: "We still have more people in the mainland who call Brother Ma!" My only condition is that as long as Fengyun is serialized, the King of Fighters will be serialized for as long as he wants. ”
Everyone was stunned, and Ma Rongcheng was a little puzzled: "How is this condition?" Even we don't know how long Fengyun will be serialized, do you have such strong confidence in the vitality of the King of Fighters comics? ”
If the King of Fighters game is only one generation, the comics will be serialized for a year or two, and no one will read it.
Tianxia Publishing House treats Fengyun as the treasure of the town, and there is no game production, there is no pressure at all, and you can draw as long as you want.
And The King of Fighters comics has no game support, and he signed such an indefinite contract, in case something happens, Yang Yun has to invest money into this bottomless pit every year!
Yang Yun said confidently: "If Brother Ma thinks it is feasible, then I will send someone to negotiate the contract, and after it is signed, the first deposit will be paid, and I want to exchange general ideas with you, and then hand it over to you for refinement!" ”
That's it!
The Hong Kong Longteng Publishing House, which has just been established, has transferred a lot of people from the Beijing Longteng Comics Magazine to operate the Hong Kong branch.
On the one hand, in the name of saving Hong Kong's comic industry, a large number of senior painters who jumped out of Yulang Publishing House have received a lot of good seedlings, although they do not have a powerful master like Ma Rongcheng.
On the other hand, we negotiated cooperation with Tianxia Publishing House and signed a 10-year long-term contract to jointly produce the comics and novels of the Dragon Teng version of The King of Fighters, which will be serialized in the Tianxia Picture Book together with Fengyun!
Huang Yi was at the end of a sci-fi short story in Boyi Publishing House, and when he joined Longteng Publishing House, Yang Yun gave him superhuman treatment, not only did he not need to hold a cumbersome position, but also gave a high buyout price of 500 Hong Kong dollars per thousand words!
Everyone was amazed! (To be continued......)
