I’m Walking the Career Line In Dog Blood - Chapter 136
On the first day of sales of the two magazines, there was a gap between the two magazines. People from “Painting Friends” kept calling to ask for replenishment, but “International Pictorial” gradually showed a decline. By the afternoon, it was basically Can’t sell.
“It’s all old readers who are buying, new readers, if they’re not interested, just put it down and leave.”
The owner of the newsstand spoke to An Yinong, and greeted him: “I don’t like this one, do you want to look at something else? Today our best seller is this “Painting Friend”. I don’t know what’s going on, there are so many people who came to ask today, I’ve already replenished the goods twice.”
Keep people.
An Yinong picked two books at random to check out.
The boss looked at him while looking for money: “Why do you look familiar to me?”
“The public face.”
He picked up these two magazines and left, and it took a long time for the newsstand owner to remember: “Hey, isn’t he the cover of a certain travel magazine?”
In the evening, Xie Jiu, who always likes to work overtime, also got off work on time today. The housekeeper said that Mr. He next door brought half a roast goose.
“He went out today?” Xie Jiu was thinking about whether he should buy the roast goose shop or sign the owner.
“I see his car drove out in the morning.” The housekeeper said.
“Really?” Xie Jiu took off his coat, he walked upstairs, the parrot ‘Thank you’ was standing there bored looking at the world outside the window.
“Did you miss him too?”
He thought about it, picked up the black gold-rimmed pen on the table, and took out a small note for communication.
“I received a gift from Xiao H. This is your favorite Luoji Roast Goose?—X”
An Yinong, who was drawing comics, was somewhat surprised by the arrival of ‘thank you’. He took out the nut plate and fed ‘thank you’ while looking at the small note and smiling.
Now he has a full clay pot for these little notes. After confirming that Xie Jiu is Mr., all the small notes have special meaning.
“I want to share everything I like with you, do you like it?—H”
Looking at the letter ‘thank you’ sent back, Xie Jiu’s heart pounded. Are today’s young people so direct and enthusiastic?
Xie Jiu knew that the child had no other intentions and just wanted to share happiness with his good friends, but he couldn’t help thinking too much.
“I like it, I like it a lot.”
The next morning, the number of comic magazine sales for the previous day had come out, and “Painting Friends” was twice as much as “International Pictorial”.
“So, Gu Pan wins?”
“No,” the person who knew Paul Lee shook his head, “This person will not admit defeat so easily, and he is not an honest person. Maybe he will use some other tricks.”
These people expected it well. On the second day and the third day, a lot of overseas orders suddenly came, buying hundreds of thousands of copies of Paul Lee’s comic magazines.
It turned out that Paul Lee found himself at a disadvantage and immediately launched his overseas relationship.
He vaguely characterized the incident as ‘the traditional conservative Chinese are unwilling to accept the new world and new concepts, and are still stuck in the dream of a heavenly kingdom. ‘.
Overseas Chinese and Meika people were encouraged to spend money to help out.
“Despicable!”
“It can’t be called despicable, he has indeed made a name overseas, so he has some readership outside. These readers are also readers. In addition, “International Pictorial” originally had an overseas English edition, There are also some loyal readers of the magazine, and now that these people have been launched, it cannot be said that he is wrong.”
“It seems that Gu Pan is in danger. “Painting Friend” magazine cannot provide assistance, and he is a newcomer himself.”
Industry people began to look down on Gu Pan and “Drawing Friends” again, but after a day, the trend changed again, and “Drawing Friends” also received a lot of overseas orders, and this little comic magazine The publishing house, I don’t know when it even came up with an overseas English version.
“When did this happen? No, why do overseas people know about this magazine and even come to order it?”
Everyone was puzzled, but felt that the battle was a bit beyond their understanding, and they couldn’t understand it.
Fortunately, a reporter has been following this incident, this person quickly figured out the cause and effect, and published what he had investigated in the newspaper.
Only then did other people know that just when Paul Lee was mobilizing readers overseas, the English version of “Spiritual Girl” appeared overseas.
At the same time when Paul Lee complained, there were advertisements on TV in well-known overseas newspapers saying that this was a book that almost drove Paul Lee out of the port city and made him show no dignity to others Complaining newcomer comics.
It was brutally oppressed by the macho Paul Lee because of its female protagonist. But Hong Kong City’s readers have proved with facts that they don’t care whether the protagonist is a man or a woman, they only care whether the work looks good or not.
However, Paul Lee is not willing to give up, he still wants to spread rumors. Now, the rookie cartoonist has challenged the old-fashioned macho Paul Lee, with the loser receiving the harshest punishment.
Good guy, Paul Lee said Gu Pan was racist, Gu Pan in turn said he was sexist, this wave was a magic weapon vs. magic weapon, and it was a draw.
This promotion has attracted a wave of curious foreigners, who bought “The Royal Girl (1.
The style of “The Royal Girl” is more relaxed and bloody, and it is easy to be understood in another language environment, so these curious people really started to watch it, and they were very happy. Until the end, the critical moment, came to an abrupt end.
“What’s next? What’s the follow-up?” Overseas readers shouted as painfully as domestic readers.
So, in order to continue watching the follow-up, these people placed orders for the overseas version of “Painting Friends” based on the address on the comic book. Some bookstores saw business opportunities and ordered hundreds of books directly.
This is the truth of the sudden increase of so many overseas orders for “Drawing Friends”.
“The Hong Kong City comics are unacceptable when they come out of Hong Kong City? People with beautiful cards can’t even take a look at them? If you don’t have the skills, don’t blame the society. I’m not the same as you.”
Gu Pan’s words appeared in the newspaper, and he was almost mad at Paul Lee.
“It is said that newspapers in more than a dozen states overseas have advertised, and they must have spent a lot of money.”
“But it works. If you can achieve the same effect with this money, I see that many magazine publishers will not be stingy with this money.”
“Indeed, Gu Pan and “The Spiritual Girl” can be considered to have gone abroad. Is he the first of the new generation of cartoonists?”
“You forgot ‘Yinong’? It’s hard to say who is the first.”
“The classical flavor in the agricultural style is too strong, and it is only suitable for painting martial arts themes. After all, Gu Pan is a man, so he can only paint such adventure-type female themes. They each have their own limitations.”
Cartoons are talking about it.
The comic magazine is targeting the top management of “Drawing Friends”.
“The new president of “Painting Friends” had long expected that Paul Lee and the others would use foreign resources, right? He even took the opportunity to step on Paul Lee and “International Pictorial” to promote himself, and launched “Painter” The overseas version of “Painting Friends.”
Cartoons are just chess pieces, the real big winner is the chess player hidden behind the chess pieces, that is, the new president of “Drawing Friends”!
The new president of “Painting Friends”: …you may not believe it, but it was arranged by my sixteen-year-old boss. The money is invested by him, the plan is made by him, and I just execute it.
The president of “International Pictorial” said: Oh, I don’t believe it.
“He actually **** blood on us?”
The president of “International Pictorial” was so angry that it took him so many years to open up the foreign market and let Gangcheng Comics enter the foreign comic circle. Unexpectedly, this fledgling “painter” actually stepped on them and went abroad?
The president of “International Pictorial”, who was just held accountable by the directors, was so angry that he couldn’t eat, and lost face for half his life.
There are only two days left in the bet, Paul Li and Gu Pan’s magazine sales are still very different, even if the big Luo Jinxian comes, they can’t reverse this result unless their data is falsified. But with so many people staring at it, the data is hard to fake.
Thinking about it, it’s actually over.
Because of its overseas edition, “International Pictorial” has always felt that it is a comic magazine with an international line, and it is very high. Is it going to be counterattacked by a broken magazine that almost went bankrupt today?
The president looked at the data, his heart was on fire, and he felt tormented.
Sure enough, no surprises after that.
The result of the competition came out, Paul Li lost the face, although he was not asked to withdraw from the Hong Kong City comic circle, but once it was published in the newspaper, he couldn’t get along.
The people who followed this matter grinned and waited for Paul Lee to call his father, but no one thought that Paul Lee could not afford to lose like this, so he flew abroad on the same day, leaving behind “International Pictorial” In the face of thousands of people.
This incident shocked everyone, and An Yinong’s class was also discussing this incident.
Those who read comics and those who don’t read comics are talking about this gambling fight and the escape of Paul Lee.
Zhao Gang, who once liked Paul Lee very much, became so angry that he felt that Paul Lee was a coward who could not afford to lose.
As a book fan of Paul Lee, he is even more angry than a book fan of ‘Gu Pan’.
“I called on a lot of people to support ‘Paul Lee’. Although he lost, he was a man. If he loses, he must lose in a magnanimous manner. How could this **** escape? It’s a shame for us book fans.”
“That’s right, I’m finally looking forward to reap the fruits of victory, but this turtle grandson actually escaped?”
Zhang Wei is the most indignant. I really don’t know when he turned to “The Spirit of the Spirit” again. Didn’t he say that only “The Heroes of the Desert” is true love?
“I think ‘Yinong’ and ‘Gu Pan’ may be good buddies, so I will definitely like the buddies of ‘Yinong’.” Zhang Wei said.
“Isn’t it because “The Girl of the Royal Spirit” is also beautiful?”
Zhang Wei blushed: “also, there is part of the reason.”
“Then do you think ‘Yinong’ is better or ‘Gu Pan’ is better?” A classmate asked a malicious question, “Many newspapers are discussing, who is this year’s dark horse and who is has the greatest potential.”
“There’s this in the newspaper? Are you lying to me?” Zhang Wei was suspicious, he didn’t want to answer such a question.
“What are you lying to? Some people even bet on who will be the first person in the annual selection.”
Several classmates were curious, and gathered around to discuss: “I think Gu Pan is great, he can drive Paul Lee back to Melika.”
“But Yi Nong’s cartoon is a few months earlier, so it’s not good.”
Some of the classmates supported ‘Yinong’ and some supported ‘Gu Pan’, almost arguing.
The aftermath of this gambling incident did not subside with Paul Lee’s departure, but was more known because of his departure.
Paul Li’s escape was dubbed by the Hong Kong media as ‘lost to the port city’, and ‘Gu Pan’ also became famous because of this. Cartoonists for several years are still older.
The martial arts circle, who was previously accused by Paul Lee, is proud of her. Although “The Girl of the Royal Spirit” is not about martial arts, as the heir of the martial arts hall, the protagonist Su Xue has practiced martial arts since childhood. In “The Girl of the Royal Spirit” It can also be seen that Gu Pan has an in-depth understanding of Chinese martial arts.
Such a comic with a strong ‘martial arts color’ can also go abroad and be accepted by foreign readers. It can be seen that martial arts comics have great potential.
In fact, people in the Hong Kong City comic circle are very happy that there are local comic artists who are developing overseas markets, which will be of great benefit to them in the future to develop overseas readers along this path. Therefore, when it comes to “Gu Pan” and “Painting Friends”, everyone can only boast, but what about “International Pictorial”…
“Damn Paul Lee, he promised to fight gambling by himself, but now it falls on my head?” The president of “International Pictorial” was furious in the office.
“The president, asked him to make an explanation.
Isn’t this a mess, what does this have to do with him? Still explain?
And the damned “Painting Friend” president was there to fan the flames, this time, he was the one who benefited the most!
“Could it be that he planned to challenge Paul Lee? It’s so cunning.”
The president of “Drawing Friends” sneezed. He was watching the new overseas version of “Desert Heroes: The Devil’s City” in the printing house.
If you want to promote classical comics, you must find a good translation, so he hired a few translators with high salary to translate and correct them. The president has seen it and has retained 80% of the original version, which is very good . Because some things are just too hard to translate.
“As soon as this matter is over, the results will be sent overseas, and this single book will be released.”
In fact, the president himself also muttered to himself that the sixteen-year-old of others and his sixteen-year-old are not the same age group.
He was still in school at the age of sixteen, worrying about his studies every day and why the girl in the next class did not lie to him. As for the sixteen-year-old Little Boss, he already knows how to turn danger into opportunity and push the comic magazine publishing house to the international market.
He only did not understand one thing, why the small boss pays the author so high, even if it is the domestic copyright, the translation version that the publishing house hires someone to translate, the copyright is still the original author, and the income is also according to given the previous ratio.
“Probably to retain excellent authors? After all, these cartoonists are the most important resources for publishers.” He thought.
“Magazine serialization, single edition, overseas publishing.” An Yinong ticked a tick on overseas publishing, followed by animation and film and television.
“Things can be so smooth, I really have to thank Mr. Paul Lee for his generosity.”
