Chapter 47: A New Rival?
'Dragon Corporation's invasion of original comics, the future of the comic industry is guided by writers?' ’
'The original comic book has changed dramatically: it starts from the phoenix and thrives on the dragon. ’
Looking at the two newspapers in his hand, Wang Zhe, the editor-in-chief of Longteng Comics, was very relieved, and after a long period of negotiations, the company's senior management finally agreed to his plan.
In the future, Longteng Company will vigorously develop the original comic industry, and the exhibition model is that novelists provide content and scripts, and then launch serialization in the form of comics. This format is a bit different from a novel adaptation of a manga, and no novel has been published before the serialization, and readers will prefer it.
Chinese novelists are much more powerful than cartoonists, publishing hundreds of times as many novels each year as comics, and their quality is also very high, and there are abundant copyright channels such as movies and games. Even the rise of comics is to tap the value of fiction, and it can be said that the influence of the hottest cartoonist is not as great as that of a medium-sized novelist.
However, novelists have a unique position in Longteng Corporation, and their role is far greater than that of cartoonists. This leads novelists to look down on cartoonists in general, and are reluctant to put comics in front of the novel table.
In order to win the consent of the company and the novelist, Wang Zhe took great pains to speak, and he promised to distinguish the author of the serialized comics, put the novelist on top, and the cartoonist as the adaptor in the second place.
Although cartoonists will definitely complain, Wang Zhe thinks this is very good. He wants to use novelists to attract attention, with them there are readers, and comics are not limited by the original book, and the sales of comic magazines will inevitably skyrocket.
This is a huge achievement for Wang Zhe.
"What has been the reaction of the media and readers?"
Wang Zhe asked the editor in front, and the editor looked excited: "Surprisingly good, editor-in-chief!" ”
"The media are hyping up the news, and the readers are looking forward to it, and the online news has passed 10,000 copies, and the editors are a little overwhelmed."
"There is also a happy event worth reporting." He smiled and said, "That teacher is going to launch a new comic next week, and it's a girl's comic!" But such high-profile news was overshadowed by our news, and all the media looked to our side. ”
This phenomenon is worth celebrating, Longteng's approach is a revolution in the comic industry, to put it mildly, the media does not believe that a genius can change the comic industry! If the comic industry wants to change, there must be a number of popular original comics, and Longteng is clearly moving in this direction.
In the future, the prosperity of original comics will be dominated by Longteng Company, and Phoenix is powerless in front of it.
"What a pity for the teacher......" Wang Zhe laughed, he remembered the incident when "Pokemon" was burned, and shook his head: "That guy can't make waves, he only deserves to be our stepping stone." ”
Wang Zhe was originally worried about the impact of He Xi, but "Pokemon" proved that he was not as powerful as Wang Zhe imagined, and He Xi must have been lucky to become popular, even if the girl comics he drew were not killed, they would no longer be as popular as "Detective Conan".
"I heard you found a clue?"
Wang Zhe asked curiously, although he gave up on wooing, the investigation continued.
"Yes, the Phoenix Company is very hidden, but we have found clues." The editor nodded immediately: "It's a pity that it shouldn't be a combination, he is a boy, lives with his mother, and is about sixteen years old, so he can find out the specific information in these two days." ”
"Sixteen!"
Wang Zhe was shocked at this time, why is he so young.
But it's no wonder that such young geniuses tend to be the fastest to appear and the quickest to fall.
"Forget it, you don't have to investigate."
Wang Zhe thought about it, he knew that this was enough, and there was no need to win over it now. He is only sixteen years old, and if he digs up the information, it will be for nothing to advertise to Phoenix Company and He Xi.
"No need to investigate? Good. ”
The editor nodded, and he was just about to say goodbye and leave, when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Wang Zhe said outside, and the two women walked in. One of them was a delicate-looking adult woman, with a childish girl behind her, who was beautiful and refined, but with a somewhat arrogant look.
"Editor-in-Chief Li, what's the matter?"
Wang Zhe got up to welcome, and the adult woman was Li Hui, the head of the Longteng Comic Girls Department.
"Editor-in-chief Wang, this is Miss Qin Ya, she thinks that no one in the girl's department can draw the picture she wants, so come and ask you here."
Li Hui smiled and introduced the girl beside her, Qin Ya, hearing this name, Wang Zhe's eyes suddenly changed.
"It turned out to be Miss Qin Ya! Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! ”
Qin Ya, a talented novelist who is now hot in China, is known as the 'princess of romance', and has a net worth of more than 100 million in two years after her debut. Qin Ya, who just turned eighteen this year and published her first novel two years ago, told the media at the age of sixteen.
"It's good, I finally don't have to go to school......"
Then she gave up her studies to become a professional novelist, and attracted the attention of countless teenagers with her high talent and flamboyant personality. She was not invited to this original comic, why did Qin Ya appear here?
Wang Zhe glanced at Li Hui tentatively, but Li Hui didn't answer, and Qin Ya spoke first.
"Please find your best cartoonists, I'm going to put out original comics." The girl said triumphantly: "I want to become the hottest girl cartoonist!" ”
Shoujo manga artist? Wang Zhe, who heard this word, almost fell to the ground, he wiped his sweat: "Miss Qin Ya, you are just an original, not a cartoonist." ”
"What's the difference?"
Qin Ya glanced at him: "Didn't the cartoonists under your command adapt our books?" Cartoonists are brainless fools, and I'm also very good at drawing, so if you ask me to teach them how to draw, it means that I'm a cartoonist, they're just assistants! ”
Wang Zhe was stunned for a moment, he and Li Qin looked at each other, this, this thing...... It doesn't seem impossible?
And isn't a shoujo manga the subject of the next manga? Wang Zhe started to think, if the romance princess is an original girl comic, then why not be beaten by her?
This can really have ......
――――
On the other side, Meng Shu also heard the news from Alice's mouth.
"Longteng Company launches original comics."
Between work, he drank water and said, "Isn't that interesting?" ”
"Interesting?"
Alice almost went crazy, she didn't find it funny.
"Okay, don't worry." Meng Shu glanced at her and said with a smile: "Actually, I had already guessed that Longteng Company would do this, if they didn't do anything, it would be too boring." ”
