Chapter 167 Request for Recruiting Gunners
What kind of genius is this? What else can the boss not do?
At this time, whether it was Yang Chaoye, Li Shuai or Wang Zhiye, they all had this idea in their hearts.
"Let me take a look. I used to work in a publishing house, and there happened to be a comics publishing department, so I know a little bit about it." It was Li Shuai who spoke up first.
Then Li Shuai picked up the outline of a comic called "Dragon Ball" and started reading it.
Sun Wukong? Is this a comic based on "Journey to the West"?
When I saw the name of the protagonist, Li Shuai’s first reaction was this.
However, as he read more and more details, he discovered that the beginning did draw on some settings from "Journey to the West", but the background of the story was completely different.
The prototype of Sun Wukong in "Dragon Ball" is the Monkey King, Monkey King in "Journey to the West". Not only is the name the same, he has a tail on his butt and holds a Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand. Its setting They are all exactly the same as the Monkey King.
It’s just that in the original time and space, the author waited until "Dragon Ball" became popular, and then slowly let Wukong break away from the setting of the Monkey King.
The detailed outline actually describes the essence of a work, so by looking at the detailed outline, you can also see the general direction of the story development of the work.
Just after reading a part of it, Li Shuai knew that this work would be a very popular comic when the detailed outline of the comic was now drawn.
Even "Old Master", which is very popular in the Chinese circle, can't compare at all.
Then, he took a rough look at the detailed outlines of comics such as "One Piece" and "Naruto".
"Mr. Yang, these works have the potential to become popular." Putting down the detailed outline in his hand, Li Shuai took a deep breath, and then said seriously to Yang Chaoye.
After receiving Li Shuai's reply, Yang Chaoye became more and more curious about Su Cheng.
Originally, he thought Su Cheng was just a rare business wizard in the world who created such a big business at such a young age.
But the more I get to know him, the more I realize that although this boss is young, he is like a mystery and cannot see the details at all.
“I am the copyright owner of the comics, but after the comics come out, Chivalry Literature Media Company can create one or more comic magazines and publish them directly in the form of a weekly. I believe this will also work. It can bring Chiayi Literary Media Company onto a high-speed track," Su Cheng said with a smile.
“Boss, this will definitely increase our company’s revenue generation by leaps and bounds. I have even begun planning to expand the comic sales market to Japan, South Korea, the United States, Europe and other places.” Li Shuai said excitedly.
Ten comics have already made Li Shuai ambitious.
Unlike martial arts novels, comics will have a wider audience.
No matter how popular martial arts novels are, due to the influence of culture and customs, they will only be popular in the Chinese circle at best.
But some comics are different. Teenagers all over the world are the audience.
As for the comic "Dragon Ball", it is obvious that there is not much subjective cultural communication. It belongs to an imaginary world and has no borders. The story is easy to understand and simple. This general tone is suitable for all countries. Readings for regional readers.
In the world before Sioux City traveled over, the most important thing about "Dragon Ball" having such a huge global influence is that it doesn't have too much local culture, but is suitable for the public. Therefore, these comics have huge potential, which is also the source of confidence for Li Shuai's ambition.
"This is just a part of the plot. I have the follow-up content. When these paintings are finished, I will get the follow-up content." Su Cheng said with a smile.
10 comics are enough to create 10 big IPs.
At that time, it will not only be able to publish and produce animations, but also develop comic peripheral products, such as dolls, T-shirts, stationery, etc. In addition, the tourist resorts built in Suzhou City in the future can also use these IP is integrated into it.
Isn’t there a park comparable to Disney?
What's more, Sioux City has more than just these comic IPs. In the future, there will also be "Harry Potter", "The Lion King", "SpongeBob SquarePants" and other future big IPs that have not yet appeared.
It is no longer limited to Eastern culture, there is also Western culture and fictional culture. Such a hodgepodge may really be able to attract tourists from all over the world!
The key point is how to design this playground.
Since they have not been born yet, Su City has advanced the time of their birth, and the owner of the copyright is naturally Su City.
Li Shuai became even more excited when he heard that there was a follow-up plot in Su City.
There is no need to worry about the future of Chiayi Literary Media Company.
"Boss, Mr. Yang, I suggest changing the name of Chiayi Literary Media Company to Chiayi Media Company. After all, the company will not only have literary works in the future, comics will also be an important part." Li Shuai suggested.
"You can make a decision after discussing within the group." Su Cheng said to Yang Chaoye and Li Shuai.
"Well, boss, what are the requirements for recruiting a cartoonist?" Li Shuai asked.
"Now that we are talking about this issue, let me talk about the two main points. First, cartoonists are naturally better at drawing, which I believe many cartoonists can satisfy;
Secondly, they sign a strict contract I am very confident about the contract and these comics. They will all become phenomenal comics and are destined to be popular all over the world. Therefore, I am afraid that these cartoonists have ulterior motives and want to take the copyright of the comics as their own, or they may withdraw from the contract in the future. If you want to capitalize on the popularity of comic works, you must discuss with your lawyer how to get this contract!
In short, character is very important. When interviewing cartoonists, call a psychologist. Let them secretly test the interviewer's character! Instead of hiring him only if he is good at painting."
Su Cheng simply said something that came to his mind.
In a past life, Su City saw a video like this. There was a house that had been rented out for more than ten years. The tenants had remained the same and the rent had not increased. Suddenly one day, the house was to be demolished and a lot of money was paid. In itself, the demolition money naturally has nothing to do with the tenant, but the tenant feels: He has lived here for so many years, this is his home, and his home has been demolished, so half of the demolition money is not excessive, right?
There are such weird things, and there are quite a few of them.
The owner is like Sioux City and the tenant is like the comic book gunman.
This is not a joke, it actually happened. Su Cheng has seen many such cases in his previous life.
Although with Su City's current status, those who want to cause trouble are destined to have a bad end, Su City does not want to see such disgusting people appear, so it should be prepared in advance to be prepared.
"Okay, I will discuss with Mr. Yang, the human resources director, the group's lawyer consultant and others on how to recruit cartoonists. When the results are obtained, I will report to you, the boss!" Li Shuai replied road.
