Chapter 260: Eight Comics
Don't look at Huang Baiming as a screenwriter, in fact, this person's management ability is very strong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After breaking up from Xinyi City, he opened his own company and set up a cinema chain, although it eventually closed down with the recession of Xiangjiang's films, but his film company has always existed.
When the film cities in mainland China were booming, Huang Baiming started making movies again and made a few bucks.
In the end, although his family series of movies was made stinky by himself, he began to invest in other people's films, doing it like a producer or something, and it still got mixed up.
You know, Huang Baiming was already sixty or seventy years old at that time.
Sixty or seventy years old still have such energy, really a typical Xiangjiang people - the top ten richest people in Xiangjiang, in 2015, the average age is over 70 years old, the top three are all over 80 years old, it can be seen that Xiangjiang people are still very worthy of learning in terms of diligence.
Now Yin Jun has no way to make Huang Baiming a manager, because Yin Jun still lacks more helpers in the comic story fabrication and continuation.
If the comic studio had been developing smoothly after three or five years, Yin Jun would have considered making Huang Baiming the general manager - if Huang Baiming hadn't left by then.
For now, Yin Jun has prepared a total of eight comics for Comic Weekly.
"Transformers", "Conan", "Saint Seiya", "Oolongin", "Cherry Maruko", "Tomb Raider", "Prince of Tennis" and "Inuyasha".
Don't think that Yin Jun arranged it randomly, in fact, he made such a decision after careful consideration.
The three requirements of "Weekly Shonen Jump" for manga artists are "friendship", "hard work", and "victory", which is the most important reason why "Weekly Shonen Jump" has become the number one manga magazine in Japan and the world.
Because these three elements contain a very profound philosophy of life.
Friendship represents the most sincere emotion, on behalf of mutual assistance and mutual benefit, life and death, such feelings, is liked by everyone, not like love, because people are different, the types are different, and the development of the situation is also different.
Effort represents the process of hard work, and many advertisements will pretend to say that "the ending is not important, the important thing is the process", which proves that people attach great importance to the process of struggle on the road to success, all kinds of hardships, and the ups and downs in the process, all kinds of reversals and unexpected, will make people fascinated.
Effort is not everything, the final success is the goal.
Everyone loves success and doesn't like failure, so the last element of Weekly Shonen Jump is success.
Only when the protagonists have gone through hard work and continuous struggle, will the joy of success be even more exciting and unforgettable.
Yin Jun very much agrees with these three elements, in the mainstream of comics, as long as these three elements are achieved, the possibility of success will be greatly increased.
The storyline of "Transformers" is actually related to this element, the friendship between the Bopai robots and humans, the hardships of defeating the evil mad robots, and the joy of the final victory.
Although such stories are repeated every episode, there is no time when people get tired of watching them.
"Transformers" represents robot warfare, and there are also huge benefits from movies and peripheral rights.
The second part of "Conan" represents the detective series, and many people can like stories like detectives solving crimes, not to mention Conan's gimmick of turning into a child, which can stimulate interest even more.
The third part of "Oolong Courtyard" represents another kind of funny, childlike, and kung fu story.
This "Oolongin" is one of the most well-known comics published by Treasure Island, and it is also a representative work of Treasure Island comics, but it will only start to try to serialize in newspapers in the middle of 80 years, and it will be officially published in 82 years, and now it is 79 years, so you don't have to worry about copyright issues.
The fourth part of "Saint Seiya", needless to say, blood, friendship, victory, this is the standard version of "Weekly Shonen Jump".
Some people who don't know where they got the news say that "Saint Seiya" actually sells average in Japan, but it is just popular in China...... There is actually a market for such remarks, which shows that there are too many people who believe in rumors, and there are too many stupid people.
In 1987, the seventh place in the total tax payment of the Japanese book industry was Masami Sadada, with a tax amount of 137.51 million yen.
In 1988, the total tax payment of the Japanese book industry ranked first, and Masami Sada paid 313.97 million yen.
In 1989, the total tax payment of the Japanese book industry ranked fifteenth, and Masami Sada paid 90.49 million yen.
When is the Serialization period of Saint Seiya?
Isn't it just the last few years?
Looking at these data, should these people who are talking nonsense take back their words?
Everyone pays the first amount of taxes, and you dare to say that you are not popular?
Isn't that ridiculous?
So this juvenile manga that represents blood will definitely trigger countless street jokes like "Look at me Pegasus Meteor Fist".
The fifth is "Cherry Maruko", a national youth comic of all genders and all ages, men and women under the age of 16 have no way to escape its clutches, and they can be killed directly, and women under the age of 30 cannot resist its cuteness.
The sixth is "Tomb Raider", a classic adventure action game once known as the "female version of Indiana Jones", there is no comic book version at all, Yin Jun made it in advance, one is to open up a comic route for female adventures, the other is to pave the way for this popular game that has swept the world, and finally there is the expectation of a movie adaptation.
The seventh is "The Prince of Tennis", this is a sports aspect, all kinds of handsome guys on the screen, it is simply the biggest killer that hits the heart of every girl, and the sports category it represents is also a very important aspect, and more sports comics will be serialized after it in the future.
The eighth part, which is also the last part of the first phase, Yin Jun gave this place to "Inuyasha".
Truth be told, the first half of Inuyasha is very impressive, but later on, there are some simple repetitions, which inevitably make people a little tired of watching.
This is not Aunt Takahashi's best work, but as a classic of ghost stories, it can be regarded as opening a faction, not to mention that the protagonist is also a classic character who has made countless girls nymphomaniac, and has a good performance in big movies and anime.
Of the eight comic works, none of them have a repetitive style, and they also take into account all age groups, such good intentions, and the strength of the selected comics, only Yin Jun can do it.
For a comic weekly, 8 stories is very few.
For example, "Weekly Shonen Jump" is generally about 20 stories, and the number of stories in "Weekly Shonen Sunday" and "Weekly Shonen Magazine" also fluctuates between 16-25.
It's not that Yin Jun is unwilling to put more comics into it.
It's just that putting 20 super classic comics out in one go is really a bit exaggerated, and it's definitely a huge waste of resources.
Even in order to make a name for himself at the beginning, Yin Jun could not have squandered it like this.
However, a weekly comic book, after decades of cultivation and dissemination of ideas by the Japanese, should have about 450-500 pages in one issue, and if a quarter of the various advertising pages are removed, it is at least 360 pages of text.
That is to say, the number of pages of a comic serialized in an issue of a weekly should be around 18-20 pages.
But this doesn't mean that every book can be serialized like this, if you can't see the movement of the rise in ten or so issues, or the comic book that is collectively selected by readers as the last three, it will generally be ordered to end after only three months, and there are those who are unlucky enough to disappear in a month, even if you are a good cartoonist, the generous period is not more than two or three months.
So the competition here is actually very fierce.
The comics in Yin Jun's hand are all super best-selling comics that can stand the test, so he doesn't need to think about whether readers like it or not, he is ready to make 8 comics on the market as soon as they come up, and the serialization is 50 pages!
Not only do they actually have more pages than Japanese manga weekly, but they also have fewer advertising pages, which is a big advantage.
Once published, these eight comics have no other enemy that can threaten their position, and the only enemy is their length.
Don't worry about it at all.
"Transformers", "Conan", and "Cherry Maruko" are three comics that you don't have to worry about, I don't dare to say more, the length of 30 years of manga publication is completely okay, or even longer.
As long as the creative staff is not exhausted, everyone will collectively create these interesting stories, and it will naturally continue to be popular.
"Saint Seiya", "Oolongin", "Tomb Raider", "Prince of Tennis" and "Inuyasha" can be maintained for at least a year and a half at the current serialization speed.
Then, a good comic weekly, without excellent new comics joining, is definitely not going to work.
Therefore, Yin Jun will also add 2-3 new comic books every year in the future, and a steady stream of new excellent works will be added, and Comic Weekly will definitely continue to maintain a strong appeal.
In addition, after the comic weekly began to create, Yin Jun will of course recruit new cartoonists in Japan, South Korea, Baodao, Xiangjiang and even the mainland to publish their works.
Maybe those "former" comic masters, after Yin Jun published their works in advance, they will continue to create better works with their extraordinary talents?
