Yang Liang and Wang Zhe also came to the Cultural Square.

"There are a lot of people, but it's simpler than I thought."

Wang Zhe looked at the crowds in the square. The flow of people surprised him, but some of the shops and facilities in the square made him a little disappointed.

The shops here are very simple. Most of them are just a huge parasol, and there are a few tables and chairs underneath. Some people sell things in this simple environment, which is simply a temporary market.

"I think it's fine……"

But Yang Liang was able to accept: "This is originally a square. You have to expect it to be as impossible as a commercial street... and there are many places to rest. Phoenix does a good job."

Although the store is simple, each store has a special place to rest, and Yangliang also saw several large rest areas in the distance. In this midsummer season, there is a place to hide from the sun, that is enough.

"Go, don't forget our mission."

Yang Liang led Wang Zhe to the past. They came here to investigate the situation of the celebration. Seventy percent of the activities of this celebration were organized by readers. This is very important data.

"But speaking of it, I feel more like a snack street here!"

Yang Liang said that although there are many shops, most of them sell drinks and food: "Do these foods have anything to do with comics?"

"I think there should be, you wait..."

Wang Zhe turned around to buy two cups of cones, handed them to Yang Liang, and said, "Look."

Yang Yang took it curiously and saw a yellow face dotted on the cone: "This is... Pikachu?"

"Yes, the minister knows that too." Wang Zhe nodded, and then pointed to one side: "Pikachu is very popular, you see that the balloon is also in the shape of Pikachu."

Yang Liang looked over. There was a child holding a balloon, and the shape of the balloon was exactly the shape of a yellow Pikachu. Not only that, if you look farther, you can still see many people holding different elf balloons.

"That's it... this is also okay." Yang Liang looked at the cone in his hand. I understand in my heart, the original things here are creative with some comics.

"Want to write it down?"

Wang Zhe asked.

"record."

Yang Liang said, and then ate the cones and continued to walk forward. He saw a very lively area, which seemed to be a few shops selling comics, and many people left with comics.

"I haven't seen those comics?" Yang Liang frowned. He had no impression of the comics in these people's hands: "And the quality of the pages is not very good."

"That's a fan manga."

Wang Zhe replied. As the editor-in-chief of the comics, he was a little excited: "Minister, maybe you can find some new comics artists here. You can go to other places to check first. I want to read these comics.

Fan comics?

Yang Liang was a little surprised. He hadn't heard the fan manga before, but the area was very crowded. It's much more lively than those places to eat. Does fan manga have so much value?

"Go and see..."

Because there were so many people there, Yang Liang didn't want to go there. He agreed to Wang Zhe's suggestion, and the two moved separately. Yang Liang continued to move forward and saw more interesting shops.

Selling comic articles, food, fan comics, costumes, pillows, etc., here is like a commercial pilot...

"What a pity. Does he want to..."

Yang Liang became worried, and he felt more and more that this place was not like a celebration, but a commercial test field. It feels a lot like Yanjing's movie street here—although it is just a rudimentary form, it feels very similar.

Is it because he intends to build a real-life ‘comic street’ or a ‘comic city’? Look at the liveliness of this square, He Xi's appeal is so strong, it seems that it can really succeed.

"We underestimated his ambition?"

Yang Liang thought to himself that they had always known that He Xi was experimenting with comics for business opportunities, but they never thought he would rise to the sky in one step. Directly and drastically carry out realistic reforms.

But if he does this, He Xi’s comic street will evolve into a ‘sacred land of comics’ and its influence will be greatly enhanced.

"No... it's not that easy to succeed!"

Yang Liang shook his head. Indeed, He Xi is the only person who can build a comic street in China now. He is the symbol of China's comics industry without his participation. A comic street established by others cannot become an authority.

And He Xi is personally established, even if no one else participates, he can make an effect. Especially if this celebration can be successfully concluded, many local governments will be aware of the possibility of Comic Street. Will be willing to support He Xi.

The problem is that it is very difficult to build such a street. It not only requires huge economic and comprehensive strength, but also indispensable contacts. Phoenix does not have this ability for the time being.

"I should have been worrying too much..."

Thinking that Phoenix Company has not even reached the most basic strength, Yang Liang heaved a sigh of relief. What a pity, it could not be so fast. The expansion of the extreme east area consumes a lot of funds for Phoenix, and then he will go to Suhua. What a pity it is impossible to set up a comic street.

With the current development speed of China's comics industry, one year later, the entire market will flourish. Even if He Xi is still the number one, Zhongxia Comics is also eligible to establish its own comic street.

They all have this kind of financial ability now, but it is very embarrassing that their headquarters is located in Ninghai, if there is no He Shi's participation, then Comic Street would not be recognized by readers at all.

"After all... I still want him to leave early."

Yang Liang concluded that their influence in Ninghai has increased a lot this year. If He Xi leaves for a while, Ninghai will completely become the territory of Zhongxia.

An hour later, Yang Liang and Wang Zhe met in the rest area.

"How about it, Minister, it's lively everywhere!"

Wang Zhe asked.

"Well, the order is also very good. I just found that someone was making trouble. A group of girls went to mediate." Yang Liang said strangely: "It is a good way to let girls mediate. I don't know who came up with it. "

"Who knows, Minister, I have found a few newcomer cartoonists, but they have all been booked by Phoenix..." Wang Zhe was a little regretful, and then said: "And I found that the fan works sold are very popular. The supply exceeds demand. Teacher He Xi's celebration this time is definitely a success."

"Yes. In terms of business, it should be a success."

Yang Liang agreed that there are many visitors to the festival, and every store can make money. What a pity this is successful. If there is another celebration next time, it is estimated that his readers will be more enthusiastic and active to engage in activities spontaneously.

"This celebration. The ones who get the most benefits should be those who set up shops..."

Yang Liang said,

"No! Minister, Phoenix Company also has stores. They sell genuine merchandise, and the store is even more popular..."

As Wang Zhe spoke, he took out a fan. Explained: "This is the fan I bought by the flagship store of Inuyasha. The price is 70 Huaxia coins. I waited in line for three minutes to buy it!"

"70 Huaxia coins?"

Yang Liang took the fan and looked up and down. This fan was not much different from the usual 2.30 fan, but after opening it, you can see the poster of "Inuyasha", and then there is a Phoenix company logo printed on it, just In this way-the price has doubled?

"The cheapest ones there are celebrity films and bookmarks. It costs 4 or 5 yuan, and the more expensive weapon models and clothes can't be bought for 6,700 Chinese currency..."

Wang Zhe solemnly said: "I heard that each of He Xi's works has a flagship store. "Inuyasha" should be a relatively moderately well-known work, but there are overcrowded, let alone other stores."

"The cost of Phoenix Company renting the Cultural Plaza is very high, but I think they can make money back by selling the surroundings."

Yang Liang's eyes widened suddenly.

"No way. It's so lively?" He said quickly: "Take me over and have a look."

Wang Zhe wiped his sweat.

"Let's finish lunch first, OK?" He said, "It's almost noon, the number of people here hasn't decreased at all, and there will be no seats in a while."

It was close to 11:30, but the number of people on the square did not decrease. There were long lines outside many shops. Wang Zhe and Yang Liang had been searching for a long time, but there was no place to sit and eat. Can only pack and go back to the rest area.

There are many people eating in the rest area, it looks very crowded and there is no space.

"Sit on the ground and forget it, I wish there were fewer people in the afternoon."

Yang Liang took a newspaper and sat on the ground. Eating fried noodles and said.

"me too."

Wang Zhe greeted them. The two of them would not leave so early: "Teacher He Xi will be on stage at night. I don't know what time it is."

"Are you also waiting for Teacher He Xi?"

As soon as Wang Zhe finished speaking, the young man next to him said excitedly: "So are we. There are so many people here. It's too tired to walk around. How about we play cards here in the afternoon?"

He also brought a companion, and looked over looking expectantly.

"No, we still have things to do this afternoon."

Wang Zhe immediately refused. Although playing cards is a good way to kill time, he and Yang Liang still have a lot to observe. There is no activity this morning, but it will gradually become lively in the afternoon.

Several stages have been set up on the Cultural Square. Starting in the afternoon, some fan groups will perform on these stages, and they will go to see them.

"Oh, forget it."

It was a pity for the young man, and then he talked to other people.

Yang Liang and Wang Zhe were eating. They felt that the rest area was very noisy, and everyone was excited to talk about some comic topics.

"Have you watched the latest episode of "Gundam Seed"?"

"Look, the heroine in the op finally came out, but she is still an idol...I like this setting!"

"The protagonist can pick up an idol by picking up trash, but then again, I heard that Luxe's ​​voice actor will appear tonight? Do you know who it is?"

"Hey, I know that. Lux's voice actor is Miss Long Xue. She is very beautiful."

"Fuck, Long Xue? Isn't that Miss Joey's voice actress?"

After listening to these discussions, Wang Zhe and Yang Liang felt a little tasteless when they were eating.

"Wang Zhe... "Gundam Seed" has only been out for two months, right?"

"Yep"

Wang Zhe nodded, his expression suddenly a little embarrassed: "None of our animations are particularly popular, but the second part of Teacher He Xi has become popular again. My wife is also watching "Gundam Seed" recently, and she said it's like a romantic drama. "

Yang Liang's face was a little cold.

"He Xi, everything goes smoothly. The girl Qin Yan recommended "Gundam Seed" on Weibo two days ago. Do you know what's going on?"

He suddenly remembered this unpleasant thing.

"Qin Ya made her debut with romance and idol work~lightnovelpub.net~ I think this work should be in line with her hobby." Wang Zhe said: "The plot of "Gundam Seed" has an idol drama feel, friendly , Love, war, and intricate interpersonal relationships... it fits the hobbies of young people nowadays."

"Qin Ya's recommendation of "Gundam Seed" on Weibo shouldn't have any special meaning, the Minister doesn't have to take it in my heart... She is a cartoonist, and I think respecting the opponent is a great improvement."

Yang Liang was silent. Indeed, compared to blind hostility, such a cartoonist who can objectively analyze the strengths of his opponents is more valuable to cultivate.

"you're right."

He didn't think about it anymore, he took a rest after eating, and then started the afternoon visit with Wang Zhe.

The content in the afternoon is much more interesting than in the morning. There are stage plays, cosplay and singer competitions, and some prize-winning, entertainment activities, etc...

These activities organized by the readers surprised Yang Liang, but he was not satisfied. At night, when the whole venue was full of lights, the official stage was lit.
