Chapter 373: Ryo Watanabe has a lot of friends
"Mr. Hao Ping."
Hao Ping stood on the second floor of the venue, watching the situation of the cutest conference venue below, when Ryo Watanabe and other cartoonists came over.
"How many of you ended the booth so soon?" Hao Ping asked with a smile.
These people are all involved in the sale of their original fandom at the current summer doujin festival.,Now I have time to come to him.,It seems that things are almost done.γ
"It's completely sold out." Ryo Watanabe was also a little proud when he heard this topic. Several of them printed nearly 10,000 copies this time, but they were all sold short in one morning.
Although this number is not much, but the current comic industry is also sluggish, a normal commercial single book is over 20,000 is good, if a volume can be out of the number of 50,000, it is considered popular.
What's more, this is only half a day's sales, and if you add that because it is printed by itself, compared with the 10% copyright fee given by the publishing house, it is completely comparable to the income of a popular single book.
Of course, the more important thing is that they see the benefits in this matter. If it really continues to develop like this, it will be possible to get rid of the absolute monopoly of the publishing house on cartoonists.
In the past, publishers could exploit as much as they wanted, but now they can follow their own route for publishing.
Hao Ping actually didn't agree with such an idea.
The main reason why Ryo Watanabe and others were able to complete their works in such a short period of time is that they themselves are also characters closely related to this summer doujin festival. I've been involved in the summer doujin festival since the beginning.,Now although the mention of the summer doujin festival inevitably comes to mind, G Society.,But it's also inevitable to contact Watanabe Ryo and other representatives of the doujin.γ
It is estimated that many of the people who support them today will also buy for this "representativeness".
It's just that these things don't need to be said at this time for the time being. Now is the time for them to be happy, and it would be too indifferent to say it now. Go back and wait for them to calm down before moving on to the matter.
Therefore, he just smiled and said congratulations twice, which can be regarded as giving enough face to a few cartoonists at this happy time.
"Thank you Mr. Hao Ping for your good idea, this summer doujin festival is really a very good event." Hao Ping gave face, and Watanabe Ryo naturally returned face.
What's more, he really thinks this event is quite good, but it's not false.
"Mr. Hao Ping's ideas have always been imaginative, and the ideas of some of his works are also amazing." Ryo Watanabe exclaimed, "It's a pity that I don't want to learn skills, otherwise I can become a good manga artist." β
"Watanabe-sensei, let's spare me." Hao Ping smiled bitterly.
He knew how many pounds and taels he had, and none of these things were his own. Besides, learning comics also requires talent.,He remembers the plot clearly.,But the picture structure.,Storyboards and the like.,Learn the Year of the Monkey and go to the moon.γ
"It's better for me to come up with some ideas." Hao Ping said with a smile.
"Then I'm still looking forward to Mr. Hao Ping coming up with a little more idea like the Summer Doujin Festival." Ryo Watanabe said with a smirk smile. Although I regret Hao Ping's refusal to learn comics, I am still relieved.
Hao Ping also smiled, now that the summer doujin festival is going very well, and the manga sales of Ryo Watanabe and others are also perfect, the atmosphere here is naturally very relaxed. After chatting for a while, Hao Ping asked, "At this time, several teachers came to me, thinking that there should be something wrong." β
Ryo Watanabe said, "It's true, since the summer doujin festival is going so well, and our manga sales are also good." Then our plan should be almost complete. β
"Almost. The meat ticket has been fully received, and now it is time to inform the other party to prepare the ransom. Hao Ping smiled and said: "This first letter asking for ransom will have to be delivered by several teachers in person." β
"Well said." Ryo Watanabe said, "We can only draw manga, so it's up to you and Miss Uehara to come up with ideas." You say, "We'll just do it." β
So Hao Ping told a few cartoonists about his idea, and several people nodded again and again, patting their chests and saying that there was no problem.
"In that case, let's exaggerate the results." Ryo Watanabe is also responsible, and took the initiative to propose: "We alone have about 10,000 volumes, so let's just multiply them...... In my opinion, it is good to report 30,000 volumes to the outside world. β
"Is that good?" Hao Ping hesitated slightly, "In this case, maybe the tax office will come directly to the door with an amount of 30,000 volumes." Doesn't this increase the losses for several teachers? β
In fact, when Hao Ping and his side just announced the start of the same sacrifice, they knew that there was a transaction, and the Japanese tax management personnel came directly to the door. It's just that there hasn't been such a large-scale doujin sale before.,In the end, it's based on the tax standards of the publishing house.γ
If Watanabe Ryo reported 30,000 copies here, then Hao Ping believes that they really dare to ask Watanabe Ryo for 30,000 copies.
In this way, the taxes that Ryo Watanabe and others had to pay have tripled.
In this way, how much money can be earned from this doujin sacrifice is unknown.
"It doesn't matter, the investment at this time is for the return of the future." Ryo Watanabe said with a smile. "Let's talk about a few of us, but I look forward to the success of Mr. Hao Ping's plan - after all, at the point where we have met too many friends."
"Then I'll trouble Watanabe-sensei." Hao Ping nodded, agreeing with Ryo Watanabe's approach.
After Watanabe Ryo and the others left, Hao Ping couldn't help but start to be distracted.
The friend that Ryo Watanabe is talking about is not so much a "friend" as a down-and-out manga artist. Because I've been in the industry for a long time, I naturally know a lot of cartoonist friends who can't publish, and can't even enter the editing door.
In the end, these people will either change careers, or they can only entertain themselves in the circle of homo people.
Ryo Watanabe wants to help this group of friends, but they are originally just ordinary manga artists - this ordinary, just can't say it. It's okay to feed yourself, but it's a little difficult to save the world by the way.
So when he knew that Hao Ping seemed to be planning to develop in the doujin, Ryo Watanabe was very active from the beginning.
Maybe at the beginning, it was just a matter of wanting a little more hope and working hard.,Use your own weak strength to increase the life of the same people.γ I didn't really expect Hao Ping to really plan to do anything.
But now, I'm afraid that this hope is much greater.
Hao Ping has been thinking about a question a long time ago, Ryo Watanabe is often four cartoonists who go in and out together, advancing and retreating in the same way. But among the four heavenly kings, Ryo Watanabe is the most shrewd one, and everyone else is a little roundabout, why are everyone else willing to let Ryo Watanabe come forward as a representative.
You must know that things gather by like, and people are divided by groups. A bunch of naΓ―ve guys, it's usually hard to look down on a calculating guy.
After doing it for a long time, Ryo Watanabe was also a little roundabout.
"These guys, they have drawn a lot of hot-blooded comics, and they really take such a thing as friendship and hard work to win." Hao Ping thought about what Ryo Watanabe did, and felt that such a person was really more suitable than himself to be a cartoonist.
The creature of the cartoonist, sure enough, still needs to be a little naΓ―ve, a little hot-blooded, and a small middle school second.
If you say it yourself, you probably don't have the mental strength.
Looking at the fan market that is still in full swing below, there are men and women in it, there are Zhou Jing, there are Watanabe Ryo kinds, and there is even the bl die-hard female cartoonist in the stall next to Zhou Jing.
How many of them are considered talented? There are probably not a few.
Even so, I'd rather use the same way to participate in the things I like, maybe the money from the sale of this doujin festival is not enough for the cost of printing and production.
Even so, I'm still happy.
How many friends does Ryo Watanabe have?
I once heard that the so-called comic exhibition gathers **, conspiracy and ambition, but it can't accommodate the slightest dream.
It's just that looking at this group of untalented people, even shameless "fanvillains" and "copyright thieves" want to brazenly lie on these things, and use their clumsy skills and immature ideas to fight for a chance.
I know that I have no talent, but I still have extravagant hopes. The so-called dream, isn't it ** and ambition?
Hao Ping suddenly thought: This place is probably really full of ** and ambition, but there has never been a lack of dreams.
