Lin Qingyi wanted to publish a physical comic, and this news quickly caused a sensation in the industry.

"Lin Qingyi is finally going to release a physical comic! I must buy a collector's set! ”

"Must buy! "Qin Shi Mingyue" didn't come out of the entity and I was very disappointed, and I finally waited! ”

Fans have left messages under Naruto.

"How much do you think it will cost to eat Hayashi Qingyi's Naruto?"

The editor-in-chief of Evergreen Publishing House began to hold a meeting.

"This depends on whether we can get the physical advance version of the contract."

Said the director of the operations department.

The other editors nodded: "Yes!" Now the impact of the electronic market is too great, and now the comic physical industry is generally sluggish, and the cost performance is not very high. ”

An editor of the operation department gave authoritative data: "The Institute of Publishing Science of the island country officially announced the overall market situation of the book publishing industry in the island country last year". According to the survey, compared with the year before, the size of the book publishing market in the island country shrank by 7% last year, and the sales of comic books, which are the "saviors" of the publishing industry, also fell by 13%! In the first quarter of this year, sales of comics fell by 18% over the same period. ”

An editor asked puzzledly: "We won the copyright mainly for domestic distribution, and it doesn't have much reference value to look at the sales data of island countries, right?" ”

The head of the operation department showed an idiot expression: "The sales of comics in island countries account for more than 80% of the world's comics, do you think this data has any reference value?" ”

After listening to the report of the operation department, the editor-in-chief tapped his finger on the table: "Then, this time, we will pay 5 million for the copyright fee of "Naruto". ”

In addition to Evergreen Publishing House, Anime House, Feisu, and Moyou are all making estimates for Lin Qingyi's new work "Naruto".

A week later, the Naruto physical manga copyright auction was held as scheduled.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the personnel of several major comic publishing houses gathered, and reporters from major media raised their guns and short guns and began to report the whole process.

The host walked up to the stage wearing a black tuxedo: "Welcome all guests to participate in this "Naruto" physical manga copyright bidding, each person has one chance to bid. ”

"Now, you can write down your intended price on the sign, for a total of three minutes, and once you write it, you can't change it!"

As soon as the host's voice ended, the buyers in the audience began to communicate, and then filled in the price on the sign.

The surrounding reporters began to speculate, and a young reporter stabbed his companion with his arm: "Lao Wang, how much do you think the physical manga copyright of "Naruto" will be sold for this time?" ”

"Lin Qingyi's upper work is a big hit, and its popularity is not inferior to the top cartoonists in the island country, and the price will not be less than 3 million, and I estimate that it will be between 3 million and 8 million."

Lao Wang, a reporter in his forties, pushed his glasses and said.

Apparently, he has some research on the comic industry.

"That's a lot lower than I thought!"

The young reporter who asked said disappointedly.

He searched a lot of information about the original author of "Naruto" on the Internet, and the first online IP festival held a week ago opened his eyes, and it turned out that the industry that had not been paid attention to contained such a big profit.

The young reporter thought that this time "Naruto" could at least be sold for tens of millions of dollars, so that if it was reported, it would receive a lot of attention.

Three minutes is a flash.

The host looked at the first publishing house, Evergreen Publishing House: "Editor-in-Chief He, what is your offer?" ”

The editor-in-chief of Evergreen Publishing House raised the offer card in his hand: "5 million!" ”

This price was negotiated by them in advance, and beyond this price, there was not much profit margin for their publishing house.

"Evergreen Press bids 5 million!"

The host said loudly.

The words Evergreen Press: 5 million are displayed on the screen.

The reporters in the audience immediately began to take pictures.

The host looked at the second publishing house, the House of Anime.

This publishing house is one of the three major publishing houses in the industry, and it is not surprising that the price of Anime House will be higher.

Sure enough, the editor-in-chief of Anime House held up a sign, 6 million.

"Brother Wang, you guessed so accurately!"

Seeing that the quotations of the two companies in succession were all floating at 56 million, the young reporter said with admiration.

The host shouted loudly: "The price of the anime house is 6 million!" It seems that the anime house is determined to win! ”

There is another line of words on the screen: Anime House: 6 million.

After the animators, 5.5 million were reported quickly.

This price is just moderate, and it is clear that Feisu is not very optimistic about this competition for the rights of physical distribution.

When it was the turn of the Moyou Animation Club to quote, the person in charge of the Mogame side held the offer card high: 10 million!

"Oh my God! Moyou Anime actually came out with 10 million! ”

"It seems that the people of Moyou are very optimistic about Naruto!"

"10 million! Isn't it rumored that Moyou and Lin Qingyi don't deal with each other? ”

"Huh! There are no eternal enemies in the business field, only absolute interests! ”

……

"I heard that the Moyou Group has recently been developing a game adapted from an anime in an island country, and the purchase of "Naruto" this time is very likely to attract traffic."

"It's not that simple, it may also be hoarding copyrights, this auction is a physical pre-copyright, that is, physical publishing will be ahead of electronic versions, games and the like.

If Mogai Animation does not get the physical publication out in one day, it will be difficult to develop other related copyrights.

This is a contract loophole, and if Lin Qingyi's side breaches the contract, it will pay at least three times the liquidated damages.

After the flop of the people of Moyou, there is still a Weibo animation family left.

And the Weibo animation channel did not have the participation of the editor-in-chief or vice president or other bigwigs this time, and an editor-in-chief came.

This is a beautiful woman with burgundy hair, fair and delicate skin, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a light green slim-fitting suit on her upper body, with the identity card written on Weibo Animation Editor-in-Chief - Manman.

Manman's age is twenty-three or fourteen years old, and he looks youthful and energetic.

Under a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, her eyes are big and charming, her black hair is twisted behind her head, and there is a folder on the table in front of her.

Of course, sending an editor-in-chief to participate in the bidding also shows from the side that the Weibo animation channel does not have much hope for this bidding, and may just go through the motions.

"Not surprisingly, this time Naruto is going to fall into the hands of Moga Anime!"

"I hope that after the Moyou Group gets the copyright of "Naruto", it will not do anything too bad!"

"It's hard to say! The Moyou Group has a big business, and it really doesn't care about this 10 million, if it spends 10 million to attack competitors, it is also possible. ”

At this time, the person in charge of the Weibo comic channel, Manman, elegantly raised the sign in his hand.

20 million!

"Weibo animation actually made 20 million?"

"Directly doubled the bidding price of the magic game!"

"That's a lot of money! Isn't Weibo Animation worried about not recovering the cost? ”

"If you think about it, this could also be a collaboration between the two groups."

The host glanced at the vines of Weibo Anime and said loudly: "Congratulations to Weibo Anime for obtaining the physical comic copyright of Naruto!" I have a question for Ms. Manman, how many copies are expected to be printed for the first time after Weibo Group obtains the physical manga copyright of "Naruto"? ”

At this time, Lin Qingyi heard the host's question, and also blinked her beautiful eyes, looking curiously at the editor-in-chief of Weibo Animation Publishing House to see how she answered the host's question.

Manman stood up from his position, glanced at Lin Qingyi and said with a smile: "The best-selling of "Qin Shi Mingyue" is obvious to all, and we are also looking forward to Lin Qingyi's new work, and have great confidence, so our first printing of Lin Qingyi's "Naruto" is 1 million copies, this 20 million is only a guarantee, if it exceeds 20 million, Mr. Lin will get 14% of the share, which is a new cooperation model introduced by our publishing house!" ”

"The first printing of a million?"

All the reporters in the audience were shocked when they heard this data, a best-selling comic book author like Hobbit in China, the first printing of his last new work and new book was only 150,000 copies, and the first printing of Lin Qingyi's new work actually had one million copies.

It can be seen that Weibo Animation's confidence and support for Lin Qingyi is indeed very great.
