Chapter 843: outdated?

Manga like the East and West Palaces are relatively few, and he has no money to buy it. He just gives the manga department some ideas and asks them to draw according to their own ideas.
Gong Nan Bei read it very seriously, the comic book was not thick, and Gong Nan Bei finished the first book soon.
The first book tells the story that the male protagonist is a weapon group tycoon, was kidnapped by KB elements for ransom, and asked to help them make weapons.
The male protagonist produced the first steel armor under extremely bad conditions!
As in the previous life, he was replaced by an energy heart because he was hit by shrapnel, which was also the source of his strength.
After reading the first volume, Gong Nanbei was very confused. Whether it was the plot or the comic style, the frame was very good. How could this kind of comics not sell? Is it a problem of propaganda?
On the other side, Wang Mong Kok also finished watching "Spider-Man". After the two looked at each other, Wang Mong Kok asked suspiciously, "How about you?"
"I can't fault it"
"Mine too, it looks pretty good"
The two of them became more confused, and read the second book one after another, and it didn't take long before the second book was finished.
Gong Nanbei frowned again, and this second volume looks very good!
Looking at Wang Wangjiao's expression again, it is obvious that he should also be good, so what's the problem?
After reading all three volumes, the two of them did not find the problem.
"The style, quality, and plot are all good, how can there be no sales?"
Wang Wangjiao also said with some doubts: "Yes."
"Where in those small countries?"
"Of course they sell well in those small countries, but the best-selling ones are the comics after the comic changes."
Gong Nanbei nodded slowly, and then rang the call bell again. After Zhao Dezhu came in, Gong Nanbei said directly.
"Dezhu, please inform the manager of the propaganda department, marketing department, and sales department to come to see me. If the manager is not there, look for the supervisor. At least one person will come from each department."
"Hey"
Zhao Dezhu agreed, and Gong Nanbei pointed to the sofa in the office and said, "Wait a moment, ask the sales department of the marketing department."
Wang Wangjiao nodded, picked up "Iron Man" in Gong Nanbei's hands, walked to the sofa and sat down, and watched quietly.
Before long, the managers of the three departments all arrived at Gongnanbei's office.
Gong Nanbei and Wang Wangjiao sat together, stretched out their hands to the three of them, motioned for the three of them to sit opposite, waited for the three of them to sit down, Gong Nanbei first looked at the sales manager and asked: "Iron Man" And the sales slump of Spider-Man?"
The sales manager was a little nervous, and slowly nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Gong, the comics of the superhero series are not booming."
"Tell me about the sales, and compare with the highest sales of comics in the same period!"
"Yes, our current highest-selling comic is "Beast King", which sells more than seventy times that of heroic comics like "Iron Man."
Gong Nanbei took a breath after listening, more than seventy times? This is just like joking!
Gong Nanbei turned his head to look at the marketing department and asked, "Why is that "Beast King" so popular?"
The marketing manager pushed his eyes and said: "Because of the buying crowd, the main purchasers of our comics in China are nine to fifteen years old. Children at that age are more inclined to animal transformation."
"We have done two surveys before. The hero comics are a bit outdated. The reason for the better sales in foreign countries is that we almost only sell them in some small countries and they have no other options for comics."
"We have also thought about improving, and finally thought that the best way to increase sales is Mangai! But after a meeting, we thought that Mangai was not cost-effective, because the sales and popularity of these comics was even before the comics department. Twenty can't get in!"
"With this resource, we can fully invest in "Beast King", it will create more profits for our company"
Gong Nanbei understands it right away. It's like the novels in front of me are adapted into film and television works, and the popular IP is not changed. Going to change a street?
But he just couldn't understand, how could superhero comics be unpopular?
Gong Nanbei looked at the Propaganda Department and asked, "What do you think?"
The manager of the propaganda department said: "President Gong, we can only say that the promotion of comics is average, that is, we promote some on some websites and sales networks."
Gong Nanbei nodded. After all, comics are now a niche, incomparable to movies and songs, and the focus of publicity is definitely not in this regard.
"What about the novel department?"
"The development of the novel department is fairly stable. We also didn't have much publicity. We just made some small advertisements on some browsers and search engines."
"Now we are creating two phenomenal novels. One of them is a historical drama which is quite good. We changed it into a film and television work in the later stage of the research."
After hearing this, Gong Nan Bei nodded again. Through conversations with the three departments, Gong Nan Bei knew why the sales of "Iron Man" and so on were not good.
Because they are outdated!
Gong Nan Bei is thirty-three this year, and "Iron Man" and "Spider-Man" are things that he only likes at his age. Now children are more inclined to simple and straightforward cartoons.
And people like him, who are old at the top and young at the bottom, rarely have the opportunity to read cartoons, let alone buy them.
Gong Nanbei was lost in thought, and the others were afraid to speak.
Only the sound of Wang Wangjiao turning the pages of the book, three or four minutes later did he speak.
"I am more optimistic about these series. According to my previous idea, first try to make comics popular, so that everyone knows that there is such a movie, and then began to change into film and television."
Hearing what Gong Nan Bei said, several others took it seriously.
Gong Nanbei continued: "Don't hide it from you, I want to build a huge heroic world. This will be our company's new five-year plan after the "Resident Evil" series and the "The Matrix" series!"
The three managers were not calm when they heard it. How successful these two series are, no one knows better than the three of them, and now these two street comics are actually the next five-year plan?
The three looked at each other, and finally the marketing manager said: "President Gong, from the perspective of the current market environment, I don't think this is a good decision."
The manager of the propaganda department rubbed his temples and said: "President Gong, if we can, we can invest some money in first, change the comics into animations, and try out a small scale first."
Gong Nanbei looked at the last sales department again. The sales department thought for a while and said: "I think the marketing department is the same. From the comics perspective, we have more themes suitable for comic change."
Wang Wangjiao dropped the comic book and said, "Listen to Mr. Gong, go back and discuss with the comics department. I will see Mangai's works within a month!"
The three of them didn't talk nonsense anymore, and they all said yes.
