Chapter 78 The comic explodes and comes back to life!
Shen Lang's words made others fall into deep thought.
Comics? Although many of Inazuma’s anime are based on comics, this situation may not apply to China.
And most importantly, comics can sell millions of copies each, plus other expenses.
Compared with the resources spent, the cost will be recovered at most.
In this kind of thing, no matter how much you think about it, you won't make any money.
However, Shen Lang's next words awakened the dreamer.
“You don’t necessarily have to publish a single volume, but as a publisher, you collect other people’s comics online.
Then, the Young and Dangerous comics will be the main theme and sold as a magazine. Not only can it be made into a full-length novel, but even after a node is completed, a summary book can be published to make a lot of money.
People who buy a lot of serialized anime magazines won’t mind buying an extra summary chapter.
In the future, the road can even be wider, and the review of comics will be much looser. After all, comics need to be consumed and the audience is smaller."
Russell also thinks this is a good idea, especially if the investment is smaller.
Even if something goes wrong, the amount of compensation is limited, and it won’t be as expensive as animation.
So they returned to the original problem again, which was the original painting.
They all felt that their ideas were invincible, but Shen Lang's evaluation suddenly made them unanimous.
"Both of you are not good at it. The plot simply cannot reflect the true connotation of "Young and Dangerous". It blindly pursues the pleasure of desire, but falls behind.
Our Chinese culture has a long history, and some of its connotations are beyond your comprehension."
They were not convinced by Shen Lang's speech.
The director of Tianying Kingdom said: "You go ahead, let us see your painting skills and plot settings."
Shen Lang didn't refuse, he just came.
I had already learned all the contents of the comics before, so I sat directly in the position of an artist under their surprised eyes and started my own creation.
Even Russell didn't expect this. He had always thought that Shen Lang was a film director.
Although film directors generally have art skills, they are generally not very profound.
But looking at Shen Lang's skillful operation, he didn't look like a novice at all.
It didn't take long to draw the characters of Young and Dangerous.
The two directors frowned. This was indeed an image they had never imagined. They picked up the information book again and compared it.
I found that Shen Lang's paintings were indeed more in line with their ideas.
Moreover, the painting style is also very unique. The painting style is not as exaggerated as that of Director Tianying, nor is it as childish as that of Director Inazuma.
It is somewhere between the two, but it takes advantage of both.
Then he wrote the dialogue, which is very concise and easy to understand.
There is no need for too much description, and the implicit expression method unique to China is used.
Rather than the long and lengthy explanations from foreign countries, it looks cooler and more quaint.
The most important thing is that foreign works always put profit first, or friendship.
It is difficult to grasp and express this kind of brotherly love, but this kind of feeling is the core, even the soul, of Young and Dangerous.
Shen Lang's arrival is what gives this comic the soul.
Russell looked at the two directors who had been bickering and disagreeing with each other. At this moment, they were standing behind like two students and studying seriously.
Just know that Shen Lang's works have conquered them.
Although these two directors are a little arrogant, they do have the capital to be arrogant. The animation movies they produced have won many international awards and are sought after by countless people.
However, at this moment, the two of them are just students who are learning with an open mind.
Shen Lang simply drew a few pages of the plot for them to watch. The two directors just glanced at it and said to all the other staff members: "This will be our execution standard from now on."
The director of Tianying Kingdom then said to Shen Lang very seriously: "I apologize for my previous recklessness. You are the most powerful Chinese animation director I have ever seen."
But the other one was more stubborn, and Shen Lang didn't bother to pay attention to him.
A few simple paintings are not enough for them to understand the true core of Young and Dangerous, and the 20% dividend is not that easy to get.
After all, this matter is also related to my own interests, so I am more concerned about it.
In the days that followed, he continued to fight between his own company and Conch Company.
However, Conch Company gave up animation and directly entered the comic industry, saving a lot of things.
The progress is also a lot faster. Pokémon has just entered official production, and the first few episodes of Young and Dangerous have been completed.
They directly divided it into four separate volumes for release, and each volume was divided into twelve volumes, one for each week.
Plus the other comics and novels stitched into it, one volume is enough to last a year.
Later Shen Lang also plans to make Young and Dangerous into a series, which alone can be popular for several years.
After you build your reputation, it will be much easier to accept other works.
During this period, Conch Company also continued to promote and began to sign comics at a premium price, just to quickly publish Huihezu.
After a month of hard work, the exciting publication day finally arrived.
The publicity was very good before, and with the popularity of the Young and Dangerous theme, many places started to stock it.
Eight hundred thousand units were sold on the first day, which greatly excited the people in the company.
But they are not idle either. Such a good work cannot be sold only in China.
At Shen Lang's suggestion, they released Young and Dangerous overseas as an online payment model.
Many related costs are reduced.
At the same time, related animation movies can be prepared and distributed overseas.
After all, China’s culture is popular in the world, many people are interested in it, and there is no shortage of people to pay for it.
In the following days, sales continued to increase, reaching a terrifying three million units.
You must know that this is only a week's volume. Judging from their rhythm of four copies a week, each copy is priced at 9.9, which is close to 30 million, which is more than 100 million a month.
In addition, Conch Company also undertakes special effects production for other film companies and charges commissions.
and some overseas projects.
This made Russell laugh from ear to ear.
What is a comeback from a desperate situation? It's so exciting.
Even though it feels a little distressing to give it to Shen Lang now, it is completely acceptable.
Shen Lang saw that Conch Company was basically on the right track, so there was nothing much he could do to help. After all, he was not a nanny and could not do everything.
Seeing that Shen Lang didn't want to come again, Russell quickly said: "Mr. Shen, if we have problems in the future, we will have to trouble you more.
You helped us get through this difficult time and are our partner. We can be found at any time if needed."
The size of their company is not much smaller than that of Starlight Company, at least two-thirds of the size, so it can be considered a large company.
Shen Lang smiled when he heard this, just nodded and left.
Because he had just received a call and a twenty-minute demo of his Pokémon had been made.
That's why Shen Lang left eagerly.
Compared with Pokémon, the Young and Dangerous comics are all younger brothers, not a heavyweight at all.
Sitting in the car, at this moment he understood what it means to return home like an arrow!
