Chapter 199 Fantasy Comic Listing (7K chapters, please subscribe~)

  Zou Wenhui was stronger than Huang Yulang, but he was so angry that he almost died, and he still didn't vomit blood.

   But after he calmed down, Zou Wenhuai also looked at Li Xiaolong helplessly.

  Co-author of the superstar he has cultivated through hard work, was about to expand into the European and American markets. At this time, Chu Huan walked over holding a small flag, and said with a smile: Sorry, I have to get in the car!

  Picking peaches is not like this, the key is that Chu Huan, a bastard, just stole a fruit forest from himself!

   "Aaron, what do you think, don't you know the relationship between us Jiahe and black and white images now?"

  Zou Wenhuai has a hard time understanding Li Xiaolong's brain circuit. If possible, he would rather not have the Shanhai Cinemas, but also let Chu Huan get in the car and go to the European and American markets with him to expand the territory.

  Li Xiaolong's eyes flashed a trace of apology, but he still said: "Raymond, I have promised A Huan about this matter before, there is no way!"

   "Why is there no other way? The two of you must have not signed a contract. You should call Chu Huan now and say that this cooperation is over!"

  Zou Wenhuai is also furious, this is Li Xiaolong, now his only reliance, if it is another person, Zou Wenhuai has already kicked him out of his room.

  Bah, scumbag!

  Li Xiaolong said with firm eyes: "That can't be done. Although A Huan and I haven't signed a contract, we are both people who spit and nail each other. How can I go back on my word!"

  Hoo.

Zou Wenhuai almost didn't come up again, and waited for a while before speaking: "Aaron, you don't know the relationship between our company and Black and White Video, Shaw Brothers, and the European and American markets are the only bargaining chips we can turn defeat into victory now. So you actually want Chu Huan to join in now?"

   "Yes!" Li Xiaolong preached concisely.

"Huh." Zou Wenhuai took a few deep breaths, and then he could only continue to persuasion: "Aaron, if we want to enter the European and American markets, we must cooperate with Hollywood film companies. At that time, there will be Hollywood movies. The company, Jiahe, and your Xiehe three film companies are enough to invest in your new film, if you add Chu Huan's black and white images.

   Then it will inevitably dilute the interests of our three companies. How should this diluted part be calculated? "

  Since he didn't understand the reasoning, Zou Wenhuai could only use his interests to bind Li Xiaolong. Now that Li Xiaolong has full wings, threats and other words are not easy to use.

  Zou Wenhuai even understood that if the pressure on his side was too tight, Li Xiaolong might leave Jiahe to do this matter.

   Because of Chu Huan, it is enough to make up for Golden Harvest's advantage in Southeast Asia, and then Li Xiaolong will be the rocker, and the two can also contact Hollywood companies.

However, Li Xiaolong had already thought of his own countermeasures, and said: "What's the matter, we didn't contact the Hollywood company now, as long as the three parties determine the investment share first, then contact the Hollywood company. Yet!"

  My mother, what I said is very reasonable. Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but want to applaud Li Xiaolong's idea.

  Li Xiaolong did not wait for Zou Wenhuai to speak, and continued to speak: "Raymond, I know the conflict between you and A Huan, but didn't you say before that there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

I want to bring A Huan in, not only because of the friendship between me and A Huan, but more importantly, the next movie will definitely be produced in the Hollywood way. None of us can guarantee the success of Hollywood. With one more person, the benefits will naturally be less, but what if it fails?

  At that time, wouldn’t our respective losses be relatively reduced? "

   "The truth is this, but" Zou Wenhuai wanted to continue persuading.

  Li Xiaolong still did not give Zou Wenhuai a chance to finish, "Also, the reason why Golden Harvest's market in Xiangjiang is not very good now is because of the joint suppression of black and white video and Shaw Brothers.

   The relationship between Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers is irreconcilable, but the relationship between Golden Harvest and black and white images is not so irreconcilable.

  If Golden Harvest and Black & White Image can take advantage of this cooperation opportunity to mediate with Black & White Image, then maybe the two of you will be able to unite against Shaw Brothers! "

  Zou Wenhuai stopped talking, he was not thinking about Li Xiaolong's words, because Zou Wenhuai understood that it is basically impossible to cooperate with Black and White Video to fight Shaw Brothers now.

  Li Xiaolong has a very good relationship with Chu Huan. He may not have imagined that now Chu Huan is completely playing the right way in the Hong Kong film industry.

   First, they unite with Shaw Brothers to suppress Golden Harvest.

   Then, through Li Xiaolong's relationship, he got on the fast boat that Golden Harvest opened up the European and American markets.

  The final result of this is that Chu Huan used the relationship between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest to consolidate their market in Xiangjiang, and also used Li Xiaolong's relationship to extend the tentacles of black and white images to Europe and the United States.

  According to Chu Huan's plan, within a few years, the structure of the Xiangjiang film industry will change. Chu Huan can use these few years to build his own studio in Xiangjiang and contact distribution channels in other cities.

  At that time, in the entire Xiangjiang film world, who can stop the rise of black and white images?

  Can you tell Li Xiaolong these words?

can say!

   But will Li Xiaolong listen?

Certainly not!

   Not only would he not listen, but he would also cause a rift in the relationship between himself and Li Xiaolong.

  Thinking of this, Zou Wenhuai let out a long sigh, he knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion.

   "Chu Huan's black and white images can be added, but they must have the least investment ratio!" Zou Wenhuai can only minimize the impact on himself now!

  Li Xiaolong really smiled after listening: "That's no problem, A Huan is very generous, I think he will agree!"

  Zou Wenhuai, a grandma with generous legs, couldn't help but swear in his heart!

  The Xiangjiang film industry is paying attention to the daily box office of Li Xiaolong's films in Xiangjiang.

   But on January 1, 1973, some people also set their sights on Xiangjiang's immature comics market.

   Such attention was due to the scolding battle between Chu Huan and Huang Yulang.

  As Huang Yulang thought, the sales volume of works produced by himself, who lost the scolding, is on the rise, let alone Chu Huan, who won the scolding.

  In addition to these people who eat melons and Xiangjiang's original comic fans, there is another group that is paying attention to the release of the first issue of fantasy comics.

   That is Xiangjiang's martial arts fans!

   Throughout December, the major newspapers in Xiangjiang are publishing advertisements for fantasy comics, and the content of the advertisements is changing every day.

   The advertising screen given by Fantasy Comics on the first day is a concrete screen of the moves of "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon".

  The fantasy comics released on the second day were the concretization of the moves of "Dugu Nine Swords".

  The third day is "Han Yu Gong".

  After the moves are finished, there are portraits of characters, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Dongxie, Xidu, Nandi, Beibei, Zhongshentong, Linghuchong, Wei Xiaobao, Xiaoyuer and a series of characters.

   This has whetted the appetite of those martial arts fans.

  In the past, they could only use the words in the book to imagine those moves. Now that someone has given a real picture, why don't these people want to see it?

   On the contrary, the original cartoon "Dragon Ball", which Chu Huan placed high hopes on, did not attract much attention.

  So on the day of January 1, 1973, many people came to the bookstall to buy fantasy comics. What kind of comics are there?

  Zhong Zhichen followed Yasuo Kamakura and was in charge of the comic adapted from the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

He also came to the newsstand early today. Although the previous advertisements for fantasy comics were very successful, and the scolding battle between Chu Huan and Huang Yulang gave enough attention to the first issue of fantasy comics, but in fact, his heart Still a little apprehensive.

   Can 50,000 copies really be sold out?

  Although the comic market in Xiangjiang is slowly rising, this is a new comic magazine after all, and it is not easy for new things to succeed in the first place.

   Nowadays, Huang Yulang's comic "Little Rascal" has the best sales performance in Xiangjiang, and the daily sales volume is only about 30,000 copies!

  Although it is a separate book and cannot be compared with comic magazines in the same genre, it can still be used as a reference!

  50,000 volumes, one week?

  Zhong Zhichen was very skeptical!

  When he came to the bookstall early, he saw the first issue of "Fantasy Comics" on it!

   There are ten books in a stack, and there is exactly one stack here!

   It seems that I am the first one!

   "Boss, here is a copy of "Fantasy Comics"!" Zhong Zhichen took out a six-cent Hong Kong dollar and handed it to the other party.

  The boss brought him a copy of "Fantasy Manga".

  Zhong Zhichen didn't leave right away, but came to the side with the manga, wanting to see the sales of the manga later. Although this kind of thing is not what he should care about, he still couldn't help but want to read it.

   "Boss, a copy of "Fantasy Manga"!" A teenage young man came to the bookstall and bought the book directly with money.

   "Well, this should be a manga fan. I want to see what's going on with the new "Fantasy Manga"?" After seeing the other party's appearance, Zhong Zhichen silently analyzed.

   After a while, another girl came and asked the boss to buy a copy of "Fantasy Comics". When the girl left, she muttered.

   "I heard that this comic was created by Chu Huan, so the comics created by such a handsome and interesting person should be good?"

  After listening to the girl's words, Zhong Zhichen understood that the other party should be the melon-eating crowd in the previous scolding battle between Chu Huan and Huang Yulang.

  When the sky was fully lit up, a middle-aged man appeared and bought a copy of "Fantasy Comics".

   "Looking at his age, he should be a fan of martial arts!" Zhong Zhichen analyzed.

  Standing for almost an hour, Zhong Zhichen counted, including his own, this bookstall sold a total of six "Fantasy Comics"!

   This amount is already enough.

  When he saw this, Zhong Zhichen nodded in satisfaction. "Fantasy Comics" is a weekly magazine after all. Six copies were sold in the morning of the first day of publication, and the rest will be sold out in the next few days!

  Thinking of this, Zhong Zhichen left here satisfied and returned to the company.

  Although everyone in Fantasy Comics wants to know the sales volume of the first issue of "Fantasy Comics" as soon as possible, it is impossible for this number to come back at this time. Everyone can only suppress their curiosity and continue their work.

  Fantasy Manga Club spent the day in such a mood of anticipation.

   On the second day, Chu Huan also came to Fantasia Manga. When everyone saw Chu Huan, they all looked inquiringly.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Don't look at me like this, the distributor can't have news so soon!"

  Hearing what Chu Huan said, everyone looked disappointed.

   "But you don't need to worry. The distributor just called and there are already newsstands ordering our comics. It can be seen that the sales of comics must be good!"

  Chu Huan preached out of breath.

  Yeah!

  Hearing what Chu Huan said, everyone gave thunderous applause.

   Steady!

  Everyone understands what this means. If the first issue of "Fantasy Comics" can break the sales volume of 50,000 copies in a single issue, then the follow-up in the future will definitely not be worse than this figure. As long as the picture, the story does not collapse!

   Then these people continued today's work with passion.

   As for Chu Huan, Yasuo Kamakura and other high-level executives of the fantasy manga club had another meeting.

  Li Hongfu was the first to speak: "President, although there is no specific data yet, but according to the news from the printing factory, the first issue of "Fantasy Comics" must exceed 50,000 copies!"

  When everyone heard what Li Hongfu said, they also showed joy, and everyone understood the meaning.

  Seeing that Chu Huan turned his attention to himself, Li Donghai immediately said, "We have also contacted the printing factory to print 10,000 more copies. We won't wait for the distributors to find us!"

  Chu Huan finally showed a satisfied expression.

  Since the sales performance of "Fantasy Comics" is very good now, there is no need to be too careful, and an additional 10,000 copies should be printed.

   "The success of our first issue is actually due to the president. If the president hadn't scolded Huang Yulang in the newspaper before, the sales would not have been so good!" Zhang Zile from the Propaganda Department said with a smile.

  Zhang Zile's words made everyone think of Chu Huan's absolute crushing of Huang Yulang in the newspapers these days, and made everyone smile knowingly.

   But after laughing, Li Hongfu showed a worried expression.

   "President, although the sales of our "Fantasy Comics" in Xiangjiang are not bad, but the sales in Southeast Asia and Japan are not so good."

  Through the efforts of the staff of Fantasy Comics, although they found distributors in Southeast Asia and Japan, the other party not only severely suppressed the share, which accounted for 40%, but also the number of orders was not very large.

  The entire Southeast Asia is only 50,000 copies, and Japan, as a big country of manga, only has 30,000 copies!

   But even so, Li Hongfu still said that sales are not very good!

   "What's the reason?" Chu Huan asked calmly.

Li Hongfu said: "Today I talked with distributors in Southeast Asia and Japan on the phone. The main reason is that we are a brand new comic magazine. Many local comic fans do not recognize this, and there are Even our local publicity is not as big as Xiangjiang!"

  Hearing Li Hongfu's explanation, Chu Huan nodded slightly to express that he understood.

   "Wait a little longer, I believe that by the time of the second issue, we will be able to know the sales volume and prospects of these places, and readers can be cultivated." Chu Huan has no good way at this time.

   If it is promoted like Xiangjiang in those places, it will definitely not work.

  In addition, the new comics really need to cultivate more readers.

   "President, since Xiangjiang's sales are so good, should we directly print 60,000 copies in the second issue?" Li Donghai suggested again.

Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "No need, the sales of the first issue were good, it was all because of the good advertising before, which attracted many people who didn't pay attention to comics to buy, the second issue is still 50,000 copies, how many copies will be released? After the period, when the sales volume stabilizes, we will talk about increasing printing.”

  When Li Donghai heard what Chu Huan said, he had no objection!

  Chu Huan said to Zhang Zile again: "The main task of your propaganda department is to collect readers' opinions, understand readers' preferences, and then give timely feedback to the editor-in-chief, so that the magazine can make corresponding adjustments."

  Zhang Zile nodded and said: "President, don't worry, the colleagues in the Propaganda Department are already collecting readers' replies!"

  Chu Huan nodded. This is the helplessness of not having the Internet. If there is an Internet, you can directly get feedback from readers online.

   This will be more conducive to the adjustment of the comic agency in the later stage.

   "By the way, the focus is on the feedback of "Dragon Ball". I want to know what readers think of this story!"

  Regarding what Li Hongfu said about the poor sales in Southeast Asia and Japan, the reason why Chu Huan was able to act very calm just now is because Chu Huan is confident enough in "Dragon Ball".

  Chu Huan believes that as long as there is "Dragon Ball", it will not be a problem to open up the market in these places!

  As for the European and American markets, Chu Huan is not in a hurry now. He will stabilize the entire Southeast Asian and Japanese markets first, and then go to the European and American markets to expand territory.

   But anyway, this comic is ahead of schedule, so Chu Huan still wants to know what these places think of this comic in this era!

  Everyone in fantasy comics knows that Chu Huan attaches great importance to the story of "Dragon Ball". Now that he heard Chu Huan say this, he naturally expressed his seriousness in implementing it.

"Ming Pao"!

  Jin Yong also has a copy of "Fantasy Comics" in his hands at this time.

  His attention is naturally on the comic adaptation of his novel.

   After the three novels "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Swordsman", and "The Deer and Ding Tale" were turned into comics, Jin Yong also wanted to see what they were like?

   "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Swordsman" made Jin Yong very satisfied after reading them.

Although the story has been simplified and modified, there is nothing out of the ordinary. On the contrary, the scene of fighting on a snowy night in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" made Jin Yong feel like a novel written by himself, which was concretized by others. Same.

  The massacre of Fuwei Escort in "Swordsman" is also created to make people feel ups and downs.

   This is all very good, but when Jin Yong saw the adaptation of "The Deer and Ding Tale", he began to frown!

  Because in the comic change of "The Deer and Ding Tale", there are a lot of pictures about Wei Xiaobao's brothel Lichunyuan, which is

   Jin Yong frowned slightly, picked up the phone on the table, and wanted to call Chu Huan, but after thinking about it, Jin Yong put down the phone again.

  Although the picture is a bit glamorous, it is not out of line, and it is a brothel after all.

  Can’t all the girls there be like everyone’s ladies?

   "It will be fine after the storyline unfolds!" Jin Yong comforted himself.

   Huang Yulang, the wronged species, has also been discharged from the hospital at this time.

   It’s impossible not to stay in the hospital. Without me, the company was in chaos at that time, and their company’s latest issue of "Little Rascal" was discontinued!

  This is unacceptable to Huang Yulang.

Resisting the idea of ​​seeing how "Fantasy Comics" is, first to make up for the previous poor content, and let the company's people rush to the printing factory for printing, and then took out the "Fantasy Comics" that I had already bought. "!

  Huang Yulang originally wanted to read the comic "Dragon Ball" at the first time, after all, this is the only original comic of "Fantasy Comics"!

In Huang Yulang's view, no matter how wonderful the comics adapted from Jin Yong and Gu Long's martial arts novels are, they will not be very attractive because the storyline is already familiar to the audience. I believe that as long as they are fresh and fresh In the past, readers were not very interested.

   On the contrary, it is the comic "Dragon Ball". If this comic is successful enough, it will be enough to support the entire "Fantasy Comic"!

   It's just that when Huang Yulang opened "Fantasy Comics" and saw the first comic "Legend of the Condor Heroes", he was shocked!

Because the picture of this manga is so attractive, "Fantasy Manga" obviously abandons the inherent four-format method of Xiangjiang manga, but disrupts the layout of manga on a single page, and through these layouts, it can bring readers A more immersive experience.

   There is also a comic style, which is tough, but through the depiction of details, the changes in the eyes of the protagonist in the painting, the inner monologue, and the changes in the surrounding environment, all make readers have a stronger sense of substitution!

  Speak bluntly.

   Watching the comics of "Fantasy Manga" makes it easier for readers to integrate into the story.

   Don’t think it’s just such a point, but as long as this point is done successfully, whether it’s a comic or a novel, it’s more than a boutique.

  This is why people who write online articles in later generations are all pursuing a sense of substitution. As long as the sense of substitution is strong enough, they can increase more readers.

   Laymen watch the doorway, and experts watch the fun.

  Huang Yulang finally put away his underestimation at this time, why would he directly read "Dragon Ball" later, but a comic, a comic.

  After he read the comics adapted from five martial arts novels, Huang Yulang understood one thing. Even if he already had novels, the sales of these comics would not be bad. This is a comic technology ahead of this era!

  Thinking of this, Huang Yulang continued to read the comic "Dragon Ball"!

  When Huang Yulang finished reading the comics in the first chapter of "Dragon Ball", his heart was already overwhelmed.

   This will be an epoch-making comic!

  The male protagonist, Sun Wukong, is obviously borrowed from the novel "Journey to the West", even with tails and wishful sticks. This **** thing is almost catching up with direct plagiarism.

   But this is not important, on the contrary, it is easier for readers to immerse themselves in the story, and then it is the wild imagination in the comics.

  The brain hole of the universal capsule is enough to instantly kill the brain holes in all comics. Except "Doraemon"!

   Not to mention the story inside, it is interesting enough and attractive enough, when Huang Yulang saw the appearance of Xiao Wukong after taking off Bulma's inner inner, he smiled even more

  Huang Yulang knew that he could no longer wait at this time, so he immediately called his secretary in, "Notify the painters of the entire company immediately, and a meeting will be held in the conference room!"

   Seeing Huang Yulang's eagerness, the secretary naturally didn't dare to delay, and hurried to inform.

  The meeting room of Yulang Books.

  Huang Yulang held the "Fantasy Comic" in his hand, and said with a gloomy expression: "Have everyone read this comic?"

  Everyone nodded.

  "Since I've read it all, I won't say anything. From now on, everyone will start to imitate the style of this comic. In the third issue of this year, I want to see changes in our company's comics!"

  Although I don’t like Chu Huan, uh, I hate him very much.

  But Huang Yulang has to admit that the content of "Fantasy Comics" is very good. Since the content is so good, he has no reason not to imitate it.

   As for whether someone will say that he is imitating, Huang Yulang doesn't care about it at this time.

   Make money, not shabby!

   Regarding Huang Yulang's decision, the painters of Yulang Books are not surprised, they all know who their boss is talking about.

  On the third day after the first issue of "Fantasy Comics" was released, the 10,000 copies that were reprinted before began to be delivered to distributors one after another.

   Then there are distributors to distribute to those book stall owners who are out of stock.

   "It seems that you have succeeded again in this venture!"

  Cao Yunshang preached to Chu Huan with a smile on his face.

Chu Huan smiled and waved his hands and said: "Not counting, even if the first issue can maintain a sales volume of 50,000 copies per week, it will only be a sales volume of 1.68 million Hong Kong dollars in a year, plus the 8% sales taken by the distributor. The share, as well as 35% of the production cost of each book, is only 957,600 Hong Kong dollars a year. What if labor is added?

   It’s not bad if you don’t lose money! "

  Cao Yunshang listened to Chu Huan finished speaking, and said with a smile: "But why didn't I see a trace of disappointment in your eyes?"

  Chu Huan laughed, and said: "Because I believe that the sales volume of a single issue of this comic in Hong Kong will exceed 200,000 copies in the future, and it will be even more exaggerated in other cities.

  Fantasy manga is where his true energy comes into play. "

   "200,000 volumes?" Cao Yunshang was really shocked by this number.

   "Is it too exaggerated?"

  Chu Huan smiled confidently: "Don't worry, it's not an exaggeration at all, just watch it!"

   Cao Yunshang saw how confident Chu Huan was, and thought of Chu Huan's mentality of never fighting an uncertain battle. He smiled and said, "Okay, since you've said that, then I'll wait and see!"

   Also, at eight o'clock in the morning~
