Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 83
With the popularity of various TV series, animations, and variety shows after the revision, Phoenix TV finally gained a firm foothold, reached breakeven, and no longer suffered losses.

As a result, DreamWorks Company started its next plan non-stop, which was a comprehensive direct-operated animation city.

The sales channels used by Two-dimensional magazine have always been through third-party channels such as newsstands and supermarkets. Although it saves them a lot of labor costs, it also brings many problems.

For example: prices are not uniform, sales data is difficult to collect, and piracy issues arise.

Even if DreamWorks relied on Li Wanshan's shady methods to standardize these sales channels, the water in them is too deep and all kinds of fish and bads are mixed, so management is still quite troublesome.

So Li Wannian and Li Wanshui discussed a new method, which was to open their own store. After completing the control of the upstream, DreamWorks began to extend its claws to the downstream.

Of course, the store they want to open is not a newsstand or a grocery store, but a brand store that can represent the company's image.

In the most prosperous urban shopping area, the exquisite decoration, with Two-dimensional IP as the core, sells comics, animation videos, animation song tapes, and animation peripherals including toys, models, and clothes.

In fact, what the two wanted to open at first was a theme park similar to Disneyland. However, they now have no money and the IP in their hands has not reached a world-class level, so the conditions are not yet mature.

So, they decided to use Cartoon City to make the transition first, and this first store was opened on Park Lane Avenue in Tsim Sha Tsui.

It's only three kilometers from DreamWorks to Park Lane Avenue, and it only takes 20 minutes to drive straight down Nathan Road.

The opening ceremony was scheduled for ten o'clock in the morning, but at this time, the streets outside the animation city were already overcrowded.

Although Park Lane Avenue is a bustling shopping street, the busiest times are usually in the afternoon and evening. At nine o'clock in the morning, ordinary merchants are not even open yet!

However, these cannot stop the enthusiasm of Two-dimensional fans!
As for the news about the opening of the animation city and Li Wannian's autograph signing, DreamWorks had already promoted it through TV, newspapers, magazines and other means as early as a week ago.

I heard that you can get Mr. Banzai’s autograph and see celebrity performances for free. Who wouldn’t want to come?

So a large group of fans gathered at the entrance of the animation city early to grab a favorable position.

Fortunately, although Li Wannian's fans are young, they are not crazy and will not stage dramas like Resident Evil and group battles.

However, with so many people gathered together, Li Wanshan was still secretly stunned by the scene in front of him.

"Good guy, this is the treatment you get from the King of Superstars, right?"

It's not yet the 80s, and although Hong Kong's economy has taken off, the entertainment industry is only in its infancy, and autograph sessions have almost never been held, so people have no idea how big an impact this thing will have.

Even when Li Wannian asked people from DreamWorks to go to the police station to file a report, the police station burst into laughter.

One gentleman even said: "When your store opens, do you want our police to be your security guards?"

However, when more and more people gathered here, the police station finally felt scared and quickly dispatched police officers, mobilizing more than 20 assirs to barely control the situation.

However, when Li Wannian stepped out of the car, the situation that the police had just maintained suddenly became chaotic again.

Li Wannian did not dare to stay longer on the street. He waved around and quickly walked into the animation city. Li Wanshan and Zhong Chuhong who were following him were already shocked by this scene.

The two of them still had lingering fears when they entered the animation city.

These people are really terrible!

"Is the journey going well?"

Li Wanshui arrived at the animation city early, and now he walked out of it and expressed concern to Li Wannian.

"Of course, can I still drive smoothly?"

Before Li Wannian could answer, Li Wanshan on the side spoke first.

"It's because of the car you drive that I ask that!"

"Uh……"

Li Wanshan swore that if this was not his eldest brother, he would definitely beat him to death, very cruel!
"It's time to get back on stage soon, don't be nervous!"

"Of course, I have nothing to be nervous about in such a small scene. You should worry about Xiaoyue. By the way, where is Xiaoyue?" "Getting ready over there!"

When the animation city opened this time, not only Li Wannian held a book signing, but also invited Moonlight Girl, Ou Ruiqiang, and now popular Spicy Chicken, Chen Boqiang and Mi Qiao to perform live.

Of course, since DreamWorks only has two animations now, and the theme songs total only four songs, the show won't last long.

But for an animation city, it’s decent enough!
At this time, Li Wannian saw Li Wanyue chatting and joking with his teammates at the corner, so he walked straight over.

"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"

The four members of Moonlight Girl had different expressions when they saw Li Wannian, and of course Li Wanyue was the first choice to reply.

"I'm thinking about how to scold you!"

"What do you call me?"

"You didn't mean what you said when you scolded me. You sent us away with just a store opening ceremony!"

"In the beginning, don't be too ambitious. If you perform well this time, I will release an album and record for you!"

"Really?" Li Wanyue always felt that Li Wannian was painting a cake for her.

"Of course, the second brother is about to open a company. When the time comes, you will sign the company under his name!"

Facing Li Wanyue's questioning, Li Wannian saw Li Wanshan passing by and pulled him over.

"Huh? Oh, yes!"

Li Wanshan was stunned for a moment, then he saw Li Wannian winking at him and nodded quickly in response.

“Great, we’re finally going to make a record!”

Seeing the happy girls, Li Wannian took the opportunity to slip away.

However, Lan Jieying was not as happy as the other girls. Instead, her face looked a little ugly.

"What's wrong, Yammie?"

Li Wanyue noticed something was wrong with Lan Jieying, so she took Lan Jieying's arm and asked softly.

"Who is that girl?"

Lan Jieying pointed at Zhong Chuhong who had been following Li Wannian.

"Oh, my brother's secretary!"

"Secretary...ah."

Lan Jieying's "Ah" was meaningful.

"Don't think too much, it's really just a secretary! Let's rehearse again and don't make mistakes in the performance later!"

Although Li Wanyue kept bringing Lan Jieying's attention back to the present moment, Lan Jieying felt a sense of urgency in her heart when she looked at Zhong Chuhong's back.

Li Wannian is so outstanding, and there will only be more and more beautiful girls around him in the future. What should I do?

On the other side, looking far away from Li Wanyue, Li Wanshan whispered at this moment: "Nianzi, why are you talking nonsense? I'm a film company. Why did I sign Xiaoyue to flatter A Ling?"

"Since your company can make movies, why can't you also do the work of an agent? After all, communicating with people is your strong point!"

"That's...that's not right. I'm just going to make a small fuss. How much do I have to pay?"

"It doesn't matter, you don't have enough money, I will invest some for you, Xiaoyue, I will put someone in charge of them later!"
