Rebirth of the Father of Anime

Chapter 94 Annual meeting

He Chen was busy with his assistant, Liuyun and Phoenix Publishing also finally reported back on the sales of the comic booklet.

“Digimon” took advantage of the end of the craze, the first single book sold 700,000 copies in the first week; “Pokemon” sold 350,000 copies in the first week; and the sales of “Pokemon Special” unexpectedly surpassed this Articles, reaching 400,000 sales.

This makes many people surprised and unbelievable: a fan work actually beats the deity in physical sales.

For a long time, in comics, everyone regards He Chen as an insurmountable peak, but “Pokemon Special” allows them to see hope and opportunity: as long as the story is good, nothing can’t be surpassed!

“If you say defeat, it’s not defeated. Boss, didn’t you give me a lot of suggestions for looking back? After all, this book should have been created by the two of you together.” Zhuang Bufan said to He Chen.

When I first saw the world of “My Pokémon”, when I was discussing the plot with Looking Back, He Chen did reveal the content of a lot of special chapters, which restored the original flavor of “Pokemon Special”.

“The story is a momentary look back, I just made a few comments.” He Chen did not take credit. On the contrary, he very much hopes to see such a situation. At least it means that everyone is not buying comics in his name. I really appreciate the comics.

“If there is transcendence, there can be progress. I really hope that more and more people can surpass me.”

The more people surpassed his comics, it means that He Chen can see more classic comics, and there is nothing he likes to see more than this.

“Young people, it’s really rare to have such a mentality.” Yi Tianxing praised, his son did not come, this time he came to talk with He Chen on behalf of his son’s Liuyun Publishing House, and continued to discuss with He Chen by the way. He writes stories to his grandson.

is rare for others, but for He Chen is ordinary, because he himself knows that those stories were not created by him, so he never takes credit for it.

“Doraemon” was bought by various universities all over the country due to the change of the sky. The story is interesting, and the popularity among students is not low. Coupled with the ulterior motives of the major businesses, the sales volume of the first volume exceeded 500 in one fell swoop. Ten thousand mark. It was released in December this year, but it directly reached the second place in the annual cumulative sales rankings, which was only more than 100,000 copies away from the first place.

“Tsk tsk, if your “Doraemon” is no longer serialized online, you may be able to win the number one annual sales in a week.” Yi Tianxing said that online serialization has a great influence on physical publishing, after all, in addition to only looking at entities Apart from book owners, only those who really like a book will buy it for collection.

He Chen curled his lips and didn’t take it seriously: “Don’t talk about it, if I don’t serialize it online, you won’t see my cartoons, and if you don’t see it, you won’t make such remarks. You won’t follow the trend, and you will not It has reached its current level of influence. I still believe that it has accumulated 5 million copies annually. In the first week…how much moisture is here, don’t you know?”

How many people here are really willing to collect the recently serialized “Doraemon”, He Chen doesn’t know, but he believes that in order to follow the call of the Novola Literature Prize winner Yi Tianxing, the school will definitely sell this It has contributed a lot of strength.

Yi Tianxing smiled slightly: “No matter how many people look at it, the sales are sold. These are all real and there is no mixed water. Would you still think that the money is too much?”

“Sulky! A great writer, look at the cheeks you talked about about money.” He Chen contemptuously said.

Yi Tianxing calmly said: “What’s the market for this? Your sales are not fraudulent. If someone buys your book, there must be a reason to buy it-regardless of whether you like it or recommend it by your school, or it depends on everyone. If you buy it, come and mix it up. Sales may not mean that your book is a good book, but it definitely shows that your book is very popular.”

“Teacher He Chen, do you want to give up the online serialization? Or let the online serialization delay some time than the physical one?” People from Phoenix Publishing House made suggestions to He Chen. Due to He Chen’s influence and his ability to talk to Yi Tianxing, Phoenix Publishing House also began to call He Chen, a student who has not yet graduated, as a teacher.

“Conan” was unexpected by He Chen. It was not very popular on the website, but the physical sales were only slightly lower than “Digimon”, which was full of animation endings: 140,000 on the first Saturday.

He Chen was very puzzled about this, wondering if it was because of the handsome cover of the booklet?

is serialized on the website, and He Chen only set a cover for the book. The pamphlet is dedicated to readers, so He Chen drew additional colorful pictures that are not available on the website, as well as the color pages of each character in the pamphlet.

Phoenix Publishing House, who was willing to drink soup, didn’t expect to pick up a piece of fat, so it moved his mind and made such a suggestion to He Chen.

Such a requirement has extremely low impact on He Chen, and it is also very easy. Even if He Chen only makes online stories a step slower than physical publishing, the sales of single-volume books will be greatly increased. They have experienced online novels. Very sure.

And this is also very good for He Chen. As sales increase, He Chen’s remuneration will naturally increase.

It is a pity that He Chen refused without hesitation. In terms of influence and transmission speed, no carrier can compare to the Internet. On the Internet, He Chen can also learn some of the opinions of everyone on the story for the first time, which can make it easier for him to adjust the rhythm of the comics.

Yi Tianxing keeps improving his book and writes very slowly. He always thinks about how to combine artistic and commercial nature to create deep and attractive works, but He Chen can’t help. The two discussed the plot of the meeting, and He Chen also told Yi Tianxing the various elements in his impression that could “heal” people’s hearts.

…

The year passed so fast, and it was December 25, Christmas again.

Although 　　 Tianman was not founded on this day, comics rose on this day, so He Chen took this day as Tianman’s annual meeting.

All the employees of 　　 Tianman, as well as the authors who have signed up and put on the shelves under its contract, are all invited.

It’s a pity that Yi Tianxing can’t come. He Chen also wants to let a great writer come as his special guest to upgrade Tianman’s annual meeting, so he can only give up.

While the location is still the old place, Tianman has packaged the entire hotel, and the charming owner Nian will personally accompany him.

“Hey, Ye Jun, you don’t come here every time because of this proprietress? I remember that you have a wife? Ye Xiaoyu, you can’t condone this kind of thing. Go back and tell your mother.” He Chen teased Ye. Jun.

Ye Xiaoyu said strangely: “Master, she is my mother.”

“… Is she your mother?”

Ye Xiaoyu nodded, affirming He Chen’s words again.

He Chen pinched Ye Jun’s neck and shook his neck: “You shit, this is your hotel. He takes care of him every time he eats. Mom always takes the invoice for financial reimbursement! Are you so cheating on your company? I want to deduct you. Salary, deduct your shares!”

“Damn, you never asked me! You thought I was willing to come, if I don’t come here, how can I have the money to eat out!” Ye Jun struggled to get rid of He Chen’s hands and complained.

The lady boss came over quietly and said with a smile, “What are you talking about?”

“Ha! No, we are just discussing the company plan.” Ye Jun sloppy.

“Mom, Dad said he didn’t want to come here for dinner.”

He Chen looked at Ye Xiaoyu who was frank and magnanimous, and then looked at Ye Jun, who was caught in a cold sweat by the proprietress, his eyes were full of sympathy and interrogation: Is this guy your own son?

” Mr. He…”

“Sister-in-law, they are all from my own family. What’s the name of Mr. He? Xiaohe will do.” He Chen politely said. In terms of age, he is younger than Ye Xiaoyu and should have called the proprietress an aunt. But he and Ye Jun have always dealt with the same generation, calling him brother and aunt, isn’t it just a generation lower than Ye Jun for no reason?

How could He Chen do such a thing? So he simply referred to him as his sister-in-law, anyway, Ye Xiaoyu always called him master, and his seniority was lower than himself, and he wouldn’t care about such a relationship from his appearance.

The lady boss laughed. It was obvious that her son was even older than He Chen, but he looked only thirty-five and sixty. I really don’t know if Ye Jun saved Yue Lao’s life in order to cultivate such a marriage.

“Xiaohe, we prepared Tianman’s annual meeting as a top priority. Everything is of the highest standard. If there are any requirements, please feel free to mention it to ensure that everyone is satisfied and comfortable.”

“Thank you so much!” He Chen gratefully said.

After a few small chats, the lady boss left, and He Chen said to Ye Jun: “Your wife is in strict control. I’m afraid that all the blessings of your life are used up on your wife, right?”

“Don’t laugh at me, there is such a wife, you may not be as good as me!”

Of course, Tianman’s annual meeting also has the characteristics of Tianman. Tianman’s employees wear COS clothes. When you glance around in the venue, you can see at a glance who is Tianman’s employee, who is the waiter, and who is the author of the contract. .

Even Ye Jun, who didn’t wear a cos suit last time, also wore a new sorrow package this time.

“Ye Jun, I think you should cos Dr. Ari.”

Ye Jun’s belly rises like Tianman, and when he sees a new one with a big belly, He Chen feels that his eyes have been raped.

Many of the signing authors saw He Chen for the first time, so from time to time someone ran over excitedly, asked He Chen for autographs and a group photo, and then ran away happily.

Among them is the author of “The 9999 Ways to Die for Porters” named Tang Ou, a man in his thirties who seemed to be a screenwriter before.

“Great God! Your manga is so creative. I like your manga very much. Can you give me an autograph?”

Ordinary people signed He Chen’s book, but what he handed to He Chen was his own book-“The Porter’s 9999 Ways to Die” was also published.

“Without you, UU reading www.uukanshu.com would not let me see another world, nor would such a book be born!”

“…Without you, I wouldn’t know that I might have died so miserably.” He Chen joked, Tang Ou scratched his head, He Chen signed the name and handed it to him: “I hope you can create a more exciting story. .”

What makes He Chen a little regretful is that the author he wanted to see most did not come to the annual meeting for a moment.

The annual meeting was ready. He Chen stepped onto the podium and looked at the people in the audience: they have the old employees of Tiange; the new employees of Tianman; and the newcomers who have stepped into the comics industry who know nothing about it. But the same light gleamed in everyone’s eyes.

“Last year, at this time, “Pokemon” was hailed as a miracle in the handheld game world, and comics entered people’s field of vision for the first time!”

“This year, comics adapted from cartoons have appeared on TV, and single-volume books have been published nationwide, and the comics have been recognized by people!

“Last year, there were only two comics, one was called “Pokemon” and the other was “Elves Baby”. The only comic website was Dmfun.”

“This year, there are 152 signed comics serialized on Dmfun! There are 6 online comic sites!”

“Last year, I was the only one.”

“This year, I have you, and the comics industry have you!”

“This year is a year belonging to Tianman.”

“But I hope that next year will be a year in the comics industry! I hope that each of you can create more exciting stories! I hope that each of you can surpass me!”
