Chapter 185: Comic Derivation

Two days later, Zhang Benxiong of Xiangjiang Wanxin Company appeared in the office of Zhiduoxing in Bingcheng.
"Boss Zhang, you said it was a good thing to ask me to come, but I rushed over from Xiangjiang immediately. Can you talk about what a good thing now?" Zhang Benxiong asked with a smile.
"Are there many people reading comics on Xiangjiang?" Zhang Yang asked.
"There are indeed a lot of martial arts comics, funny comics, and urban comics. Among them, martial arts comics are the most popular, such as "Fengyun", and I like many people."
"So what about overseas markets? Can it be published after translation? Is it sold?" Zhang Yang asked again.
"In Southeast Asia, people in many places understand Chinese, so they don’t need to translate, and they can be distributed as well. But in Europe and the United States, they sell very poorly. Even in the mainland, few people have heard of it. After all, ours is traditional. And the mainlanders don’t seem to like manga?"
"In fact, comics are not just for children, I often buy comic books, just for entertainment, just like you read martial arts novels. This is drawn, the image is more vivid and three-dimensional."
"Boss Zhang means, you want to introduce Xiang Jiang's comics? I can help you match up, but you have to think about the related printing and sales channels."
Zhang Benxiong thought that Zhang Yang wanted to make comics, but he didn't mind helping him, he could earn some hard work. But this is not a good thing, is it necessary to let him participate?
"No, I'm not going to introduce Xiang Jiang's comics, but I'm looking for you to find a few people who draw comics in Xiang Jiang, give me some advice from the people in the Mainland, and jointly launch a comic, a fighting comic."
"Combat comics? Boss Zhang, it's not me who pours cold water. There aren't many people reading martial arts comics in the mainland. Fighting, will anyone like it?"
"On the mainland, children don't have much pocket money, they can't afford comic books. I haven't heard of serial comic books, how do you make money?"
If it is a good subject, he can introduce it into the publishing and sales of Xiangjiang. Can the fighting be comparable to the popularity of martial arts?
"We don't do serialization, and strive to directly issue a single book. The most basic character settings and background settings have been prepared on my side, and the main story line has been determined. You'd better bring in a comic writer."
"There is no one on the mainland to read comics, but it is more expensive, and parents are not willing to buy it. But I heard that there is a bookstore for rent on the Xiangjiang side? There are also on the mainland side."
"Combat comics are not unpopular, at least in the mainland. Have you heard of an island country comic called "Beidou Shenquan"? Our comic contains more complex elements and the moves will be very cool Hyun, although without internal power, has its own power system."
"Have you ever heard of Ultimate Power? What about cosmic power? Great cosmic power, dark power, regenerative power, absolute realm power, etc. Special abilities will also be added to it, such as an indestructible flame, early perception, and control of wind and water. Wait. These are more intuitive, not only we Orientals can understand, but Westerners can also understand."
Zhang Benxiong looked at Zhang Yang puzzledly: "Boss Zhang, what you said, I can understand that the name sounds more powerful, so that it can be more attractive. But what do you do about it, can it be very profitable? Or, do you intend to Based on the characters in this comic, develop related games?"
"Hahaha, it's easy to talk to people who understand." Zhang Yang looked at Zhang Benxiong admiringly. "Yes, the characters in my comic are related to the upcoming new game."
"I plan to release a version of this game a year, and maybe ten generations and eight generations will be available in the future. Similarly, the same is true for comics, which are mutually reinforcing."
In the previous life, there were many such comics and games developed together, and even derived from film and television dramas, songs, novels, dolls, costumes and so on.
For example, the well-known Marvel Universe is a classic case successfully developed in the previous life, which has created great value.
King of Fighters, this game has a decisive position in the history of arcade in China. People who have been to the arcade game hall, even if they have not played it, know this game, and many people have seen this comic.
It is a pity that the development of animation and other past life is not good enough, not only in the mainland, but also in the island country and other homes, the development is not good.
However, the popularity of this game is definitely not low, once ranked first in the arcade fighting category, after the future development of online games, there are still many loyal players.
Not only because the characters in this game are handsome and easy to operate, but also because the comics are well developed, which helps the characters to be more three-dimensional and more popular.
Zhang Benxiong understood, he looked at Zhang Yang: "So, what benefits can I get?"
You can find me to help, but white help is not enough. Can't say that the benefits are all taken up by you, you can say thank you to me and it's over.
"All sales in the market outside the mainland are left to you as an agent. Whether you are re-establishing the company personally, or changing hands to find someone to translate and develop, or just developing it with Wanxin, Zhiduoxing only mentions a part of the sales. Talk after discussing."
Zhang Benxiong was very satisfied with Zhang Yang’s answer:
Boss Zhang, it’s a pleasure to chat with you. You will leave it to me for at least half a month. I will find you a good person and bring it to the mainland. Let Xiangjiang do it, and the technology there is more mature."
Zhang Yang smiled at Zhang Benxiong with a smile: "Do you know how much a cartoonist in Xiangjiang will cost, and how much it will cost in the Mainland? This part of the expenditure will be ten times worse!"
Xiang Jiang's comic book ~EbookFREE.me~ is tens of thousands of a month, and even famous ones can get a sales dividend. In the mainland, a hundred people a month are rushing to do it.
Many of the comics in the island country and Xiangjiang used to be written by people from the mainland, among which Modu Art Factory is the most famous one.
The mainland is not without good cartoonists. It’s just that they don’t understand the structure of the work, plus the limitations of their horizons, and the sluggishness of the mainland market, so there is no particularly hot comic.
And they like to draw the kind of stories that are simple and have relatively few pages. Zhang Yang asked for a long series, and they must find a teacher from Xiangjiang to teach them.
"That's it, that's it. I will contact you, or will I contact others?"
"This matter will be contacted by Sun Tengfei. He is on the Zhiduxing side of the capital. Now he has set up a comic studio, and the relevant personnel are also there. The first thing after you come over is to first figure out the characters. The moves are determined, which is convenient for game development."
"If you do well, then overseas sales of future games can also be given to you as an agent!"
