The reason for this is the amazing overseas sales of Dragon Ball!

As a Japanese manga, about half of Dragon Ball's sales of about 300 million come from overseas markets!

Especially in the European and American markets, Dragon Ball is also very popular.

This is very rare.

And this kind of globalization is also very much in line with Li Ze's ambitions.

Thinking of this, Li Ze would choose Dragon Ball without any suspense.

And Li Ze also believes that the Dragon Ball, which has conquered the earth and has been popular for 30 years, can also help him conquer this world!

Become, King of Comics!

In the next month, Xiao Xiami didn't do anything else, so he came to improve the script.

Under the guidance of Li Ze, all the little shrimp worked together to improve the original rough outline script of more than 10,000 words into a super detailed script of more than 300,000 words!

This super perfect script not only includes the main line, side lines, small theaters and so on of Dragon Ball on Earth.

It also includes very detailed comic creation help, such as blasting here, a forest there, the audience stunned here, and a big hole smashed by the turtle school qigong there.

Detailed story line, detailed character setting information, detailed comic scenes.

Seeing this thick stack of scripts, Li Ze felt that his confidence was getting stronger and stronger.

To be reasonable, with such a detailed script, if it can still be drawn, it is really unreasonable.

Holding the script in his arms, Li Ze thanked everyone: "Thank you for your hard work in the past month, now, we finally have a script that tends to be perfect, and even almost perfect!" ”

"Now that I have the script, I will now be very confident in announcing that the creation of the manga for "Dragon Ball" will officially start soon!"

Eager!

It is very appropriate to use this word to describe the current small shrimp.

After the anticlimactic tail of "Slam Dunk", after a long period of rest and adjustment, and after arduous script discussion.

Now, everyone in Xiao Xiami is eager to try to do a good job!

Let the Xiami brothers and sisters start creating comics, and Li Ze will start to do what a boss should do.

A new manga is about to be born, but, will the new manga still be serialized at Iwate Shoten?

The cooperation with Iwate Shoten is also a pleasure, and through the platform of Iwate Shoen, Xiao Xiami has successfully changed from not entering the industry to becoming an upstart in the industry.

As for Iwate Bookstore, because of their discerning talent, in the past year, Iwate Bookstore has also entered the million club from a small magazine with a circulation of 150,000.

With a circulation of more than 1 million copies, Iwate is no longer a small publishing house.

But......

Not enough!

Compared to the four giants of the industry, Foot River, Dengeki, Jump, and Sunday, Iwate's small circulation of one million is simply a small shrimp.

And Li Ze wants to make his new comic the most popular comic in the world!

In order to achieve the desired goal, Dragon Ball needs to be very, very popular, very, very popular!

And Li Ze understands a truth: the platform is very important.

The new manga Dragon Ball, if it is serialized on the platform of the Big Four, will definitely sell countless times better than serialization in Iwate Shoten!

Well, Iwate Shoten, Iwate Bookstore, I'm sorry.

……

So, the Big Four, which one to try first?

The four major comic publishing giants all have their own characteristics and current situation, so they really have to be analyzed!

You can't choose blindly!

Moreover, the excessively high rate of the Big Four is not ordinarily low, and if a blind editor makes "Dragon Ball" unable to pass the draft, it will be a shame for Toriyama.

Li Ze analyzed that Foot River and Dengeki are both giants with large IP libraries, JUMP has the largest circulation, and Sunday's editing level has always been the world's leading.

It can be said that each has its own advantages.

On behalf of Xiao Xiami, Li Ze first made contact with the foot river, for no other reason, the closest distance.

But one thing to say, the distance is close, which is indeed an advantage, okay.

In the past, Li Ze didn't even have the qualifications to step into the gate of Jiaochuan.

But now it is different, Li Ze was warmly received by the editor-in-chief of Ashikawa.

It can be seen from his speech and demeanor that the editor-in-chief of Foot River attaches great importance to Li Ze and Xiao Xiami.

Seeing the abnormal appearance of the editor-in-chief's enthusiasm, Li Ze could even guess the reason.

Foot River is still the industry's largest veteran comic giant.

But now Foot River, it can be said that it has encountered a little trouble.

Last year, Foot River's leading bloody battle manga "The Story of the Foot Man" was announced to be over, and Foot River has not come up with a best-selling work of the same level. The newly opened branch magazine "Foot River Man" also suffered a failure and was in a tepid state.

Over the past year, although Foot River has made certain gains and achievements in some niche new fields.

But just as online fantasy is king.

In the comic circle, the most popular and profitable one is still to watch the bloody battle manga.

And Xiao Xiami is the brightest new star in the comic industry in the past year.

Whether it is the early comic "Tomie" or the previous hit "Slam Dunk", all of them are excellent works with good reputation and sales.

The comics of the little shrimp can be driven even by the little-known Iwate, if the slam dunk master was in the foot river, I don't know how hot it will be!

Then, it is normal that Foot River, who is eager for excellent works, will value small shrimps.

……

After a cursory glance at the comic outline, the editor-in-chief smiled and said, "Wonderful! Very wonderful manga! It's funny and lighthearted, but it has the most heroic battles, yes, this comic is very good! ”

Xiao Xiami's new work "Dragon Ball", Foot River naturally has no suspense to sign a contract.

However, it is okay to sign a contract, but you have to negotiate conditions.

The current small shrimp is a sought-after item, even if the other party is an industry giant, Li Ze is also qualified to bargain.

Of course, it's only limited to Foot River.

If it's an electric shock in the middle of the day, I'm afraid I can't allow the new talent of Xiao Xiami to negotiate conditions.

There is a willingness to cooperate, but Li Ze still said unhurriedly: "I am very confident in my new comic, and I hope that Xiao Xiami can get a good profit return from this comic." ”

The editor-in-chief smiled even more on his face and said, "Haha! Don't worry, our Foot River has the strongest funds in the industry, and for this Dragon Ball manga, the price I give is one page, 10,000! ”

Li Ze was very satisfied in his heart, reasonable, the price of 10,000 yuan per page was indeed very sincere.

You must know that Li Ze's expected offer at the beginning was only 3,000!

Hearing this offer, Li Ze was already very inclined to cooperate with Foot River in his heart.

And the editor-in-chief of Ashikawa, who seemed to have made up his mind to use the Jinyuan offensive, made another combo.
