Chapter 294: The Investigation of Midsummer
Yang Liang and Wang Zhe also came to the Cultural Square.
"There are a lot of people, but they are more modest than I thought."
Wang Zhe looked at the crowded crowd in the square, and he was surprised by the flow of people, but he was a little disappointed by some of the shops and facilities in the square.
The shops here are very simple, mostly just a giant parasol with a few tables and chairs underneath, and some people sell their stuff in a humble setting, which is like a makeshift market.
"I think it's okay......"
But Yang Liang can accept it: "This is originally a square, and it is definitely impossible for you to expect it to be the same as a commercial street...... And there are many places to rest, and Phoenix is doing well. β
Although the shops are simple, each store has a special place to rest, and Yangliang also saw several large rest areas in the distance, which is enough to hide from the sun in this kind of midsummer season.
"Let's go, don't forget our mission."
Yang Liang walked over with Wang Zhe, and they came here to investigate the situation of the celebration, and 70% of the activities of this celebration were organized by readers, which is a very important number.
"But speaking of which, I feel more like a snack street!"
Yang Liang said that although he has a lot of pΓΉ in the store, most of them sell drinks and food: "Does this food have anything to do with comics?" β
"I think there should be, you wait a minute......"
Wang Zhe turned around and bought two cups of cones, handed Yang Liang a cup, and said, "Look." β
Yang Hao took it curiously and saw a yellow face dotted on the cone: "This is ...... Pikachu? β
"Yes, the minister knows." Wang Zhe nodded, then pointed to the side: "Pikachu is very popular, you see that balloon is also Pikachu shaped." β
Yang Liang looked over and there was a child holding a balloon, and the shape of the balloon happened to be the shape of a yellow Pikachu. Not only that, but if you look farther, you can also see a lot of people holding different pokemon balloons.
"I see...... That's okay too. Yang Liang looked at the cone in his hand. I understand in my heart, it turns out that everything here has the creativity of adding a little comic.
"Do you want to write it down?"
Wang Zhe asked.
"Write it down."
Yang Liang spoke, and then continued to walk forward while eating the cone, and 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 and said, he had no impression of the comics in the hands of these people: "And the quality of the pages is not very good." β
"That's a fancomic."
Wang Zhe replied. As the editor-in-chief of the comics, he was a little excited: "Minister, there may be some new cartoonists found here, you go to other places first, I want to see these comics." β
Fan comics?
Yang Liang was a little surprised, it's not like he hadn't heard of the fancomics, but this area was crowded. It's much more lively than those places to eat.,Is fancomic so valuable?
"Let's go check it out......"
Because there were many people there, Yang Liang was reluctant to go over. He agreed to Wang Zhe's proposal, and the two went their separate ways, and Yang Liang continued to walk forward, seeing more interesting shops.
Selling comic gadgets such as gadgets, food, fandoms, clothing, pillows, and more, it's like a commercial pilot......
"What a pity. Does he want to ......"
Yang Liang's heart 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 Yenching's movie street - it's just a prototype, but it feels a lot like it.
Why don't you plan to build a real-life 'manga street' or 'manga city'? Look at the bustle of this square, what a pity that the appeal is so strong, it seems that it can really succeed.
"We underestimated his ambitions?"
Yang Liang secretly thought to himself, they had always known that He Xi was experimenting with the business opportunities of comics, but they never thought that he would ascend to the sky in one step. Directly and drastically carry out practical reforms.
However, if he does this, then the comic street will evolve into a 'comic mecca', and its influence will be greatly enhanced.
"No...... It's not that easy to succeed! β
Yang Liang shook his head, indeed, now there is only one person who can establish a comic street in Huaxia, he is the symbol of the Huaxia comic industry, without his participation. It is impossible for someone else to build a comic street to become an authority.
And what a pity that the individual is established, even if no one else is involved, he can make an effect. In particular, if this festival can be successfully concluded, many local governments will surely be aware of the possibility of the comic street. What a pity that I would be willing to support.
The problem is that it is very difficult to build such a street, which requires not only a huge economy and comprehensive strength, but also a network of people, which Phoenix does not have for the time being.
"I guess I'm overthinking......"
Thinking that the Phoenix Company had not even reached the most basic strength, Yang Liang breathed a sigh of relief, what a pity that the pace could not be so fast, the expansion of the Far East District consumed a lot of money from Phoenix, and then it was necessary to go to Suhua, within a year, it was impossible to establish a comic street.
And with the current exhibition of the Chinese comic industry, a year later, the entire market will bloom, even if it is still the first, but Zhongxia Comics is also qualified to establish its own comic street.
They all have this kind of financial ability now, but it is very embarrassing that their headquarters are located in Ninghai, and if they don't have the participation of He Xi, then the comic street will not be recognized by readers at all.
"At the end of the day...... It's better to let him leave early. β
Yang Liang came to the conclusion that their influence in Ninghai had increased a lot this year, and if they left for a while, Ninghai would completely become the territory of Zhongxia.
An hour later, Yang Liang and Wang Zhe met in the rest area.
"How's that, Minister, it's going to be lively everywhere!"
Wang Zhe asked.
"Well, order is also maintained very well, I just had someone to make trouble, and a group of girls went over to mediate." Yang Liang said strangely: "Let the girl mediate, this is a good way, I don't know who came up with it." β
"Who knows, minister, I have a few rookie cartoonists, but they are all book......ed by Phoenix Company," Wang Zhe was a little regretful, and then said: "And the same works I sell now are very popular, and they are in short supply, so it's a pity that the teacher's celebration this time will be a success." β
"That's right. On the business side, it should be a success. β
Yang Liang agrees that there are many tourists in the festival, and each store can make money, so it is a pity that this is a success, and if there is a celebration next time, it is estimated that his readers will be more enthusiastic and active in self-engaged activities.
"This is a celebration. The people who get the most benefit should be those who open the store......"
Yang Liang said,
"That's not right! Minister, the Phoenix Company also has a store, they sell genuine merchandise, and the store is even more popular......"
Wang Zhe said, taking out a fan. explained: "This is a fan I bought at the flagship store of "Inuyasha", the price is 7o Huaxia coins, and I waited in line for three minutes to buy it! β
"7o Huaxia coins?"
Yang Liang took the fan and looked it up and down, this fan is not much different from the usual 2 or 3o fans, but when you open it, you can see the promotional poster of "Inuyasha", and then it is also printed with the logo of the Phoenix company, just like this - the price has doubled?
"The cheapest there are star films and bookmarks. It also costs 4 or 5 yuan, and the more expensive weapon models and clothes can't afford 6 or 7oo Huaxia coins......"
Wang Zhe said solemnly: "I heard that every work of He Xi has a flagship store, and "Inuyasha" should be a relatively well-known work, but it is overcrowded there, let alone other stores. β
"The cost of renting the Cultural Square by Phoenix is very large, but I think they can earn back this money by selling the peripherals."
Yang Liang's eyes widened.
"No, it won't. So lively? He hurriedly said, "Take me over and have a look." β
Wang Zhe wiped his sweat.
"Let's finish lunch before we go, okay?" He said: "It's almost noon, and the number of people here has not decreased at all, and after a while there will be no place." β
The time was close to half past eleven, but the number of people in the square did not decrease, and there were long queues outside many shops, Wang Zhe and Yang Liang searched for a long time, but there was no place to sit down and eat. You can only pack up and go back to the rest area.
There are also a lot of people eating in the lounge area, which looks very crowded and there is no place left.
"Sit on the ground, I wish there would be fewer people in the afternoon."
Yang Liang took a newspaper and sat on the ground. Said while eating fried noodles.
"Me too."
Wang Zhe catered to it, and the two of them would not leave so early: "It's a pity that the teacher will only appear at night, I don't know what time it is." β
"Are you waiting for the teacher?"
As soon as Wang Zhe finished speaking, the young man next to him spoke excitedly: "We too, there are many people here, it's too tiring to walk around, how about we play cards here in the afternoon?" β
He also brought a companion with him, and looked at him expectantly.
"No, we have something to do in the afternoon."
Wang Zhe immediately refused, and although playing cards was a good way to kill time, he and Yang Liang still had a lot to observe. There was not much activity in the morning, but it will gradually become lively from the afternoon onwards.
Several stages have been set up in the Cultural Square, and from the afternoon onwards, some fan groups will perform on these stages, and they want to go and see them.
"Oh, forget it."
The young man felt a little sorry, and then talked to someone else.
Yang Liang and Wang Zhe were eating, they felt that the rest area was very noisy, and everyone was excitedly talking about some comic topics.
"Have you watched the latest episode of Gundam Seed?"
"Look, the heroine in the OP has finally come out, but she is still an idol...... I love this setting! β
"The protagonist can pick up an idol when he picks up garbage, but then again, I heard that Lux's voice actor will appear tonight? Do you know who it is? β
"Hey, I know this, Lux's voice actor is Miss Long Xue, she is very beautiful."
"Damn, Long Xue? Isn't that Miss Joy's voice actor? β
Listening to these discussions, Wang Zhe and Yang Liang felt a little tasteless when eating.
"Wang Zhe...... "Gundam SEED" has only been out for two months, right?"
"Yes"
Wang Zhe nodded, his expression suddenly a little embarrassed: "Several of our animations are not particularly popular, but it's a pity that the second part of the teacher is popular again, my wife has been watching "Gundam Seed" recently, and she said it's like a romance drama." β
Yang Liang's face was a little cold.
"Why don't you play anything smoothly, two days ago, Miss Qin Yana recommended "Gundam Seed" on Weibo, do you know what the situation is?"
He suddenly remembered this unpleasant thing.
"Qin Ya made her debut by writing romance and idol works, and I think this work should be very in line with her hobbies." Wang Zhe said: "The plot of "Gundam Seed" has the feeling of an idol drama, friendship, love, war, and intricate interpersonal relationships...... It fits the hobbies of today's young people. β
"Qin Ya's recommendation of "Gundam Seed" on Weibo should not have any special meaning, and the minister does not have to take it to heart...... She's a cartoonist, and I think respecting your opponents is great progress. β
Yang Liang is silent, indeed, compared to blind hostility, such a cartoonist can objectively analyze the merits of his opponent, and such a cartoonist is more valuable to cultivate.
"You're right."
He didn't think about it anymore, took a break after eating, and then started the afternoon visit with Wang Zhe.
The afternoon was much more interesting than the morning, with stage plays, competitions for cosp1ay and singers, as well as some jackpot wins, entertainment, and more......
Yang Liang was greatly surprised by the events held by these readers themselves, but he was not satisfied, and in the evening, when the entire venue was hung with lights, the official stage was lit up.
