618 Situation

In any case, both of them had a close cooperation with Chu Yu in his third year of high school.

Although the contact between the three of them gradually diminished after they went to college, when Zhao Qinyin and Su Yan saw Chu Yu's expression, they immediately understood.

This guy, I'm afraid it's really a careful plan and ran over without thinking about it.

But on the other hand, the two of them can also feel the confidence of Chu Yu's behavior. As long as they can come up with good works, it doesn't matter whether they plan or not.

"Then let's go first!" Su Yan sighed, too lazy to complain about Chu Yu.

"Where are you going?"

"Looking for a place to live! You don't have a place to stay here. I'll take you to a hotel tonight to stay first! Then I'll explain to you the situation on this side!"

"Oh, that's troublesome!" Chu Yu said after thinking about it.

"If you're a hotel, just choose a place near the dormitory building where you live. If there is anything you don't know, you need to ask for advice. That way, it's easy to find you. You know the situation. Please ask me to find a police officer. A hotel with better service will do!" Chu Yu and these two were not polite, after all, they were so familiar with each other.

"Understood, knowing that you are a local tyrant will not save you money!" Su Yan said.

Then picked up Chu Yu's suitcase, the three quickly got into the car, and after more than an hour's drive, they arrived at their destination.

From the perspective of the historical process, although there are many differences between this world and the parallel world, in fact, many places are the same.

At least in this world, a small island like Japan Island is still so prosperous, and the entire Tokyo metropolitan area is like a parallel world, with a population of nearly 40 million, including about a quarter of the entire population of Japan Island.

The population density and the pressure of population competition are no less than that of the parallel world, but under the impact of the Dragon Kingdom culture, at least the status of women has improved a lot on the Japanese island of this world, and it will not be like the Japanese island in the parallel world. Just being a full-time wife, she is discriminated against in the workplace, whether it is promotion or salary, there are all kinds of malice brought about by social customs.

Otherwise, Zhao Qinyin and Su Yan would not be able to work here.

But on the other hand, the advantage of the Dragon Kingdom plane compared to the parallel world is that the entertainment industry in this world is relatively backward.

Although technology has developed all the way, the entertainment industry is far less exciting than the parallel world. This is also the basis for the golden age of the comics industry in the Dragon Kingdom and even the whole world after the new century. Netizens, teenagers look around, there are too few entertainment products to pass the time. In addition, the proportion of teenagers in the population is significantly higher, otherwise it would be difficult for Chu Yu to accumulate in the magic capital in just four years. big popularity.

The time was approaching evening. After everything was settled, Chu Yu and the two beauties were tired after a busy day. Chu Yu came to Zhao Qinyin from afar to treat her guests, but Chu Yu, who did not want her to spend money, strongly requested to be in a nearby ramen restaurant. Solving the problem of lunch for three people.

"I said Chu Yu, you can't do this, you don't even have a comic draft, how can you submit it!" Su Yan ate a piece of barbecued pork and began to talk about business.

"I know," Chu Yu said after drinking a glass of water!

"Boss, another bowl!"

I have to say that the amount of the shop here is really small. This amount is like eating instant noodles in Longguo. One pack is too small, and two packs are slightly more!

"But I'm not completely out of ideas. I'll sort out some scattered thoughts in my mind tonight, and in a day or two, I'll be able to give you a very clear answer!"

"But can you tell me about the situation in the comics industry here?"

"You log in to the search engine here to search for this kind of thing, it's very troublesome to say everything!" Su Yan gave Chu Yu a blank look and said by the way.

"Boss, three glasses of wine!"

Soon, three glasses of wine were handed to the three of them. Su Yan also held up the wine glass, pursed his red lips lightly, closed his eyes, and seemed to be enjoying himself.

"What do you say about the situation in the comics industry here? Unlike the Dragon Kingdom, there are seven comic book clubs in the magic capital all over the country, and other small and medium-sized comic clubs are resisting the impact of the comic journals of the seven major companies in their respective territories! The Japanese island manga industry is mainly composed of two large manga companies, Jitori and kc. Under these two companies, there are more than a dozen medium-sized manga companies and a large number of small manga companies! It's relatively simple, but if the competition is concerned, it will be very fierce!" Su Yan said.

"The HG comic company I work with Zhao Qinyin now is one of the dozen or so medium-sized comic companies!"

"HG Comics Company? I have some impressions, I heard you talk about it before! I remember that Zhao Qinyin is serializing a work at this company, right!" Chu Yu raised his head and looked at Zhao Qinyin who was not talking beside him.

"Ah, um, that's right!" Zhao Qinyin said restrainedly.

"However. That work will end soon!"

"It's over? Why?" Chu Yu asked.

"Not very popular. Was asked by the comics to end." Zhao Qinyin blushed a little.

Although she is a girl and has a good relationship with Chu Yu, Chu Yu next to her is an existence that even a large company with tens of billions of assets feels a strong threat to suppress, and herself, serializing a work in a medium-sized comic club, unexpectedly She was also cut in half. This gap made her feel a little embarrassed.

"Don't be discouraged, when I was serializing the prequel of jojo, I was rejected twice by Xuangui Comics. When it was serialized by Tianji Comics, it was sprayed by fans for half a year. This work is yours in Japan. In terms of Dao’s debut work, it’s already amazing that it has been serialized for more than two years! The next work will definitely be a hit, come on.” Chu Yu and Gu Yan have lived together for so long, and they learned it before they learned anything else. How to talk to girls.

If I want to see him in the past, I will definitely only say one sentence. If his popularity is low, then he will cut it in half. The fans of the province will see it in pain, and it will also be painful to draw it. Now, it will comfort people a little. But only for friends!

Zhao Qinyin next to him listened to Chu Yu's words and looked at Chu Yu without moving, and Chu Yu felt uncomfortable.

Could it be that she said something wrong again, or that she felt embarrassed by forcibly comforting the other party.

Not good, thinking about it like this, Chu Yu also felt a little embarrassed!

"Come on! Let's all come on!" Zhao Qinyin came back to her senses, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"I said you've changed too much!" Su Yan, who was beside him, looked at Chu Yu and said suddenly.

"I thought you would say that being cut in half is the market's choice, and that you have to endure this kind of ruthless words when you step into the comics industry. Come on? You're confusing me. Is this what you would say?" The Su Yan was very direct.

"Am I, in your impression, such an unpleasant person?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Two female voices rang out, one left and one right, and Chu Yu was speechless for a while.

"However. You occasionally have a more handsome performance!" Zhao Qinyin on the right said quickly in a low voice, but Chu Yu didn't hear it clearly.

"Anyway, the situation is very simple. The only two companies that can barely meet your requirements on the island of Japan should be the two companies, Jitiao and kc! After all, with your position, it is impossible to run a comic company of the size of HG to serialize works. !" Su Yan said.

"Although the weekly circulation of Ji Bird and kc in Japan is far less than that of Tianxing Comics in Ryuguchi, one has a circulation of 7 million all the year round, and the other has a circulation of more than 6 million all the year round. The gap between companies such as Tangerine Cat and Aoba at the end of the seven major comics companies is not too big, but in terms of fierce competition, I am afraid that it is no less than Tianji and Water Hedgehog. !"

"How can it be so high? Seven million and six million Japanese islands only have more than 100 million people! Is there such a big market?" Chu Yu's impression of the parallel world Japanese island, at its peak, had a slam dunk master, a dragon clan , the jump of works such as full-time hunter, but only has a circulation of more than 6 million!

"Of course it's not just the distribution and sales in Japan!" Su Yan took a sip of wine.

"Isn't it that the inland side has intentionally linked works in the cultural field with this side in the past two years? Although there is no order for the two sides to introduce works from each other, the company here has no sales channels in the inland area, but at least the comics here Journals can be purchased on the Internet in the inland, unlike before, they could not be purchased on the Internet!

Now every week, no province in the dozens of inland provinces is allowed to have tens of thousands of online shopping sales. This has also led to a lot of growth in the sales of the main comic journals of the two comic companies, Jiniao and kc. The value of their own is much higher, so the economically wealthy inland secondary apes have the strength to chase the manga journals of the Japanese island! "

"In addition, unlike inland comic companies, companies like Pole Bird and KC have some sales channels in Europe, America and some small Asian countries, and the sales of overseas periodicals also have sales of four or five million copies a week. In terms of strength, Compared with the Seven Magic Capitals, I am afraid it is worse than Tianji and Water Hedgehog, but the comic works of these two companies are much more famous in the market of other countries outside the Dragon Kingdom!" Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Said a lot.

"So, what do you think?" She looked at Chu Yu.

"It feels a little unexpectedly strong, the strength of the comic company here!" Chu Yu thought for a while and said.

"Of course, after all, it is generally recognized that the origin of Longguo comics is here. If it wasn't for the lack of sales channels and works that could not be imported, the inland comics market might occupy at least half of it!" Su Yan said.

"However, your problem lies in this. Now the two companies, Jibird and kc, have tasted the sweetness in the sales of inland online shopping. They are busy opening up the inland market. If you run over to submit an article, people may not be willing to accept it! After all, there is a real opportunity to introduce In the past, the creators who required the company to cooperate must be normal people!" Su Yan said.
