Cartoonist's Dream

Chapter 201: The Celestial Company

If a mature animation market is formed in China, Limu even wants to set up another animation production company.

Although Li Mu is satisfied as long as he can become a great manga artist, the ultimate goal of most manga artists is "animation", and they use animation as the criterion to measure the success of their creations.

In China, animation is not necessarily a criterion for success.

It took one year, a production fee of 400 yuan per second, and a total cost of 2100 million domestic masterpieces. "Lei Feng's Story" produced by the national animation industry base is an animation pit.

It was not until around 2012 that the younger generation influenced by Japanese comics finally emerged, and many small animation production companies sprung up like mushrooms, and the industrial chain of Chinese comics was initially formed. [

At this time, when the number of clicks reaches 1 million, or the number of votes reaches 100 million, in short, when gratifying results are obtained, platforms such as websites and comic agencies that own the comic copyright will actively contact the animation agency to produce short animation videos.But the long-form domestic comics at that time still did not look at the results—animation production was still directly decided by certain tycoons.

In Japan, animation production is undertaken by production companies.

First of all, freelance comic creators or writers contracted by the production company will submit their manuscripts to various publishing houses. If the story is initially approved by the publishing house, the two parties will sign a contract of intent.Creators began to create comics in units of "words", and publishers began to serialize comics in their own magazines. Usually, each issue of a magazine serialized a "word" at about 36p-44p.

In the process of serialization, the magazine will continuously solicit market feedback on the comic in the form of questionnaires and rankings-this can continuously tell the creators what the current trend of readers is, and what hairstyles, face shapes, and weapons are popular among characters. What is the style like, and so on; moreover, questionnaires and rankings can use the market to weed out works that do not respond well and stop serialization.

At this stage, cartoon authors can usually recover about 20% of the cost, so that the magazine's cost pressure is relatively reduced.

Then, after one to two years of serialization, for some works with strong market reaction, the publishing house will find the creator and propose to issue a "separate volume".At the beginning, Shangguo Publishing House did not have enough magazines, so they changed the old ways and published a single book directly, but that was Lu Lingling's criticism.

Important meetings that will determine the fate of the company continue.

"On the tenth page of the plan, here is the marketing plan. It is said that the company must find a 'global' manga that is 'one-hit-win'. Are you planning to follow the example of "Fullmetal Alchemist" in Shangguo?" Li Mu rubbed Rubbing his brows, he asked for their opinion.

As the world's first multilingual simultaneously published single book, "Steel Refining" published by Shangguo has its sporadic and irreproducible nature.Just like in an electronic competition, if you get the first place, you will be honored, and if you get the second place, you will be nothing; if you put it in creation, the first creation is creation, and the second creation is plagiarism or similarity.

Therefore, the same marketing method has the effect of "surprise attack", and Wang Bingyu has no intention of replicating a miracle

"Without a one-hit-win manga, we probably won't be able to open up the situation in the near future. It is definitely unrealistic to pray for a miracle, but we must at least open up the market. Even if only one copy is sold in other countries, then we can make more money. The income of one book. With all due respect, we have Anya, Isabel, and Ryoko here, and we can completely translate the manga at zero cost, so we need a manga that can open up the situation.”

As the main writer of the planning book, Wang Bingyu answered Li Mu's question again.Anya and Ryoko also participated in other small issues, but Bing Yu was the main answerer.

Regarding the German mercenary, Riki hesitated for a while, wondering whether to tell them that Isa was actually a penny-pinching cock

Then after being silent for a while, he felt that there was no need to speak so badly of his bodyguard.Looking at Isa at the door, he shook his head and explained:

"Uh, I think she should ask us for money. Isa needs to buy medicine for her illness."

Regarding Li Mu’s excuse for being his bodyguard, Wang Bingyu, the proposer, responded immediately:

"What's wrong! Can't you spare some time to translate?"

"Hey~~ Women, gynecological diseases..."

Li Mu didn't quite understand the kind of medicine that the Chinese gymnastics team gave aunts to keep their petite figures.I don't explain because I don't know.Therefore, he falsely claimed that Isa had a gynecological disease, and anyone who wanted to ask could ask her. If she could give a complete explanation from her few words, Li Mu would be willing to listen attentively.

...Isa, who moved a recliner and waited outside the door, completely ignored the conversations coming from the office, and continued to lie outside, shaking the recliner creakingly.

"Don't talk about other things in the meeting..."

Before the three goddesses walked out the door, Li Mu clapped his hands to bring them back to their senses.

The meeting continued, and the four-person meeting was much faster than the meeting of the House of Representatives. Ten pages, twenty pages, thirty pages...a planning book twice as thick as a college graduate's thesis was finally passed through.

Basically no problem.

As a non-professional, Limu can only make judgments from the direction of development, and the detailed matters must be left to them after all.All he can do is draw caricatures and then, provide caricatures.

"Well, I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but now I suddenly mentioned the manga of one-hit victory, and I'm confused. I have some manga here, you can see if there are any that meet the standard." [

After the meeting in the office, he waved his hand to tell the three girls to be safe and calm, then went to the side room and took out a large suitcase with a lock.

While maintaining a slight surplus of gold coins, he can serialize 13 comics at the same time at his speed.Shangguo Publishing House originally serialized 7 volumes, and the remaining 6 volumes were originally intended for Shangguo.Now that the demand here is relatively tight, they are simply ordered to change their banners and join the [Heavenly Dynasty] sect.

Open the lock.

In the large suitcase, stacks of document bags are placed neatly, and each document bag contains thick original paper.The third daughter was taken aback when she saw these file bags. Is this also called "There is a little manga"?

#This, at least ten monthly manuscripts have been saved!

"It's been a long time since I read Li Mu's manuscript!" Anya said excitedly.

As if seeing a box of golden gold, an unbelievable enthusiasm erupted instantly, and the file bags were opened one by one with smooth movements.Apparently, Riki's original manuscript was more attractive to her than the printed magazine.
