Wu Xiaozu held coffee in his left hand, his eyes were deep, and he kept a smile on his face, listening to their complaints.
The Hong Kong comic market was particularly popular in the 1990s. Later generations, Ma Rongcheng alone created a net worth of more than 2 billion with the comic industry, which is quite incredible for the "art student"... (The miserable art student!!!).
In this era, Hong Kong comics are basically the representative style of Chinese comics.
At this time, Hong Kong comics relied on its mysterious oriental style to withstand the encirclement of American comics and Japanese comics, and under pressure again, a huge industrial chain was created. It is precisely because of the prosperity of Hong Kong comics that a giant with a market value of Yulang International has emerged.
At this time, Yulang International was considered a very powerful comic company in Asia.
Hong Kong comics first entered glory thanks to the promotion of Shangguan Xiaobao, Huang Yulang and others.
But with the development, the typical "Guan Daomei" and "muscular man" of Hong Kong style have begun to enter routine. Exaggerated martial arts style has become the biggest or only feature of Hong Kong comics.
This is a very embarrassing thing.
The rise of Hong Kong comics was influenced by the Hong Kong martial arts films. This mysterious oriental martial arts culture was very popular in Asia and the Western world at first.
Although it is a bit shameless to say that Hong Kong comics and Japanese comics are both beautiful and harmonious, you have to admit that at that time, Hong Kong comics were indeed a very powerful force in the market.
Since its style and popularity are martial arts, when the popularity of martial arts begins to become dull, as the decline of Hong Kong comics is expected to decline as martial arts movies are declining.
But no one saw this at this time.
Many Hong Kong comics practitioners even opened a "How to ensure that the discomfort arises after Hong Kong comics replaces American comics..."
This matter was also reported in Japanese newspapers...
From beginning to end, American comics didn't know that there were people in the distant East who wanted to replace them, so they even considered that if the little boys from Europe and America were adapted... If they knew, Mr. Stan Li might have gone to Hong Kong Island to play a supporting role...
The boldness of such people is and the prolific land is really everywhere in the 1980s.
There are many different opinions on the reasons for the decline of Hong Kong comics, but the market is small and the type is a reason that many people agree with.
In fact, the muscle style of Hong Kong comics is too single, the core audience is too narrow, and... too violent, salty and wet.
For example, Huang Yulang's "Legend of the Emperor 1" and "Divine Soldiers and Mysterious Soldiers 1". The Emperor is a restricted comic. The scene of Daji Group in it is shy, let alone throwing this book to children... It's better to let children watch hair dryers and jump into the mud pit in society...
In contrast, the diversity of Japanese comics is more than just a little worse, and even the other party’s adult comics, BL, and GL comics are blooming, and even the evil tentacles are not spared.
Of course, the development of Japanese comics is still the government's attention to the comic industry, which is not as good as that of Hong Kong Island. Later generations of Chinese comics can develop, and the government supports them... With the development of the entertainment industry, many novels and comics adapted works are very popular and their quality is well received by comic fans.
Compared to the strong middle and second Hong Kong style at this moment.
Ma Rongcheng was the first well-known Hong Kong comic artist to absorb the Japanese comic style, and his painting skills were excellent. Before this, the violent style of comics such as "Dragon and Tiger Gate" was restricted by parents. It was not until Ma Rongcheng's "Chinese Heroes" that children could watch comics upright.
"You want me to help you?"
Wu Xiaozu put down the coffee cup with a smile on his lips and pulled out a cigar from the lining, "Can I help you deal with Huang Yulang?"
Last time, Wu Xiaozu held the press conference as usual, but Ma Rongcheng did not show up.
Wu Xiaozu's words made the two look embarrassed.
At the beginning, when someone called you together, he retreated. Now he wanted to ask someone for help, and Ma Rongcheng himself felt a little worried.
"Wu Sheng..."
Ma Rongcheng opened his mouth awkwardly and said with a tough bullet, "As long as Wu Sheng can help me, I can promise you any conditions."
"Haha... do I want you to do so many conditions?"
Wu Xiaozu sniffed the cigar and held it in his mouth. Cui Yuanfa next to him took out a lighter to help light it.
He took a sip and spit out thick fog.
"The comics market is now structured with a fixed-line script. If you really want to make a difference, first, you need strong publishing and distribution capabilities. Second, you also need strong capital and power to protect it. Third, you also need excellent works to break the deadlock... I won't say much about the others, it's not impossible for me to help you."
Wu Xiaozu wanted to promote it first, but sure enough, even though his voice changed, Ma Rongcheng and his assistant Cui Yuanfa showed hope.
"Tianxia Company will be acquired by a listed company under my jurisdiction. Of course, as the creator and the original owner of the company, I will calculate the market value to give you the corresponding shares. If the works issued in the future are popular, you will also pay you the corresponding profit dividends. In order to promote talent attraction, other creators will also pay dividends.
For this reason, the company's screenwriters will give you the corresponding plots. The style type is not limited to the martial arts style."
Wave your hand and signal the other party to listen to him.
"The company artists will endorse and promote comics. The copyright of comics will be adapted into movies, animated movies, and TV animations first. At the same time, the distribution company will bundle them with many popular movies and distribute them to all Asia and even the world.
Don't doubt my ability. After I finished speaking, I agreed, we are friends. Oppose..."
Wu Xiaozu picked up the coffee and took a sip.
"Hu~" Ma Rongcheng and Cui Yuanfa were both excited.
Wu Xiaozu's words were clearly concerned. If he agreed, he did not lose much profit except for losing the ownership and management rights of the company. They even drooled in the big cakes drawn by the other party.
As for opposition, they may retain the company's shares, but... the consequences must be borne by themselves.
Thinking about Wu Xiaozu's original methods, Ma Rongcheng shivered.
At the beginning, Huang Yulang suffered a loss in his hands!
"I... don't seem to have any reason to disagree."
Ma Rongcheng pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile, "The company is now fully supported by my original royalties at Yulang International. I have invested more than 2 million yuan... I am now in a state of turmoil.
Huang Yulang kept putting pressure on publishing. The company could not publish works, and there was no investment at all. Property, water, electricity, and personnel expenses. I planned to return to the small apartment I rented after I cancelled my lease and went back to the small apartment I rented for creation... I don’t even have the courage to refuse now."
"Have peace of mind, you just need to create comics well. The screenwriters at the company will create stories with you. There is no need to worry about publishing." Wu Xiaozu smiled.
"After signing the contract later, I will give you two scripts."
Wu Xiaozu was not surprised at Ma Rongcheng's disarming. He was already at a loss in front of him. Yulang International's strength in the comics industry is not a joke.
Wu Xiaozu plans to use E7 culture to acquire shares in Tianxia Company.
What he has to do now is to hand over "Fengyun" which turns losses into profits in the future world to Ma Rongcheng in advance. I believe that with his skills, this comic will definitely create a popularity that is not inferior to that of his previous life.
In addition, Wu Xiaozu was preparing to hand over the story written for the "Big Universe Series" to the company's screenwriter, and then develop a series of comics of "Gangster Kingdom".
Wu Xiaozu is very optimistic about Ma Rongcheng's comic adaptation ability, and interests are the main reason why he sits here today.
As for saving Hong Kong comics... he doesn't even want to save Hong Kong movies, let alone Hong Kong comics?
But comics are indeed the best business model for movie peripherals and additional products.
