Kuman, Manzhiyin, Shenzhou Comics, Madden Comics, Xinman Weekly, Weekly Youth, Friends of Anime, Friends of Yiman.

The above eight comics are among the best-known comics in China, and each comic magazine has a weekly circulation of more than 50 copies. This is the main reason why Lin Tianbao wants to cooperate with these comic magazines.

All eight comics have regular readers. Back then, Lin Tianbao struggled with which comics the studio should cooperate with?
"Sorry, our magazine refuses to accept sports comics, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with your studio next time."

"I'm sorry, our magazine does not accept basketball comics for the time being, if we have the opportunity to cooperate with your studio in the future."

"Basketball comics are too niche and do not cater to the mainstream of the market. Our magazine is very happy to cooperate with your studio to serialize "Legend of the Little Soldier", "Legend of the Master" and "Katu"."

……

……

……

Well, these eight well-known comic magazines are all of the same urgency. When they heard that the Young Marshal Studio wanted to cooperate with them on basketball comics, they refused without even reading the manuscript. Those who had business opportunities even set their eyes on Xiaobing. Waiting for the comic IP of the three novels.

All in all, it's okay for a studio to work with them, but it's definitely not Slam Dunk.

What about basketball comics?
These comic magazines don't even bother to read the sketches of "Slam Dunk" and directly deny the value of "Slam Dunk". Isn't this too arbitrary?They don't read the sketches, so how do they know that "Slam Dunk" can't break the rules?
There is a saying that "starve the timid to death, and feed the bold to death". These comic magazines only know to cater to the mainstream of the market, and have been led by the nose by the market. Sooner or later, they will close their doors.

Lin Tianbao wasn't cursing, he had foreseen it, because he was going to step into the comics market!
In the past, Lin Tianbao didn't think about playing so big. After all, the studio had just started, and the business had to expand steadily, so he planned to find a comic partner to make money together. However, the idea was good, but in reality, no one dumped him.

It's better not to dump him, otherwise Lin Tianbao wouldn't have had an idea and came up with the idea of ​​"buying a manga for fun".

These days, paper comics are also in a downturn. It is undeniable that the comics market is a big cake, but many people can't handle this market. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that comic magazines go bankrupt every month.

With the working capital of the studio, it is impossible to acquire a large-scale comic magazine. Small comic magazines can always be acquired, right?
Li Mingyang came back from vacation and frowned when he heard the bad news that "Slam Dunk" was rejected again and again. Is "Slam Dunk" really that bad?Why didn't every manga magazine even give him a chance to serialize it?
Before the big holiday, Li Mingyang was also full of confidence in "Slam Dunk", because apart from him, the colleagues in the studio were optimistic about "Slam Dunk" from top to bottom, and he clearly remembered each of his colleagues watching "Slam Dunk" ", burst into laughter, and said "interesting", "good-looking", and "wonderful".

Li Mingyang is not an ignorant child, of course he can distinguish between compliments and sincere words, he knows that his colleagues are telling the truth.

It was precisely because he was full of hope that Li Mingyang was deeply hit and emotionally lost.

"Ming Yang, don't worry, I have everything to do with me. Since those comics are unwilling to serialize our "Slam Dunk", then we won't let them share the big pie. Let's buy the comics from the comics ourselves! In this way, work The more room you earn, the more you will get.”

Lin Tianbao patted his old classmate on the shoulder, and said the studio's next plan-acquisition of comic magazines.

These days, Lin Tianbao is extremely aggrieved. If a comic magazine rejects "Slam Dunk", then it will be rejected. The owner does not choose the western one. The problem is that the eight largest comic magazines in China are not interested in "Slam Dunk" , Lin Tianbao suddenly felt that he was stupid?Why did he leave the fate of "Slam Dunk" in the hands of others?Isn't it good to run your own business?Just at your own risk.

It is true that the eight comic magazines have regular readers. Doesn't Lin Tianbao have regular fans?Although comics and novels are fundamentally different, he believes that as long as the first issue of the comic is done well and his fans feel that it is worth the money, these fans will turn into loyal readers of the comic in the future.

Regarding the idea of ​​"acquiring a comic magazine", Lin Tianbao also discussed with his girlfriend. Although Lin Tianbao took a big step, Yu Qingya still supported her boyfriend unconditionally.

It's good to be the big boss yourself. When you have an idea, you can make a decision and implement it immediately, without being hindered by others everywhere.

Of course, the premise is that the funds are in place. Lin Tianbao intends to use 2000 million budget funds to acquire a small and medium-sized comic magazine.

Li Mingyang opened his mouth slightly when he heard the words. He was really surprised by the courage of his old classmate. He only serialized a comic. Does it need to buy a comic magazine to play so big?

The studio cooperates with other comics to serialize comics, and the studio acquires comics to serialize comics. These are two different concepts. The former studio has no risk at all. As long as the comic is serialized, the studio can get the manuscript fee.As for the manuscript fee?This depends on the strength of the studio and the quality of the drawing.

According to Li Mingyang’s knowledge, the remuneration for a newcomer’s serialization is generally 100-300 yuan per page; for an experienced cartoonist, it’s 300-500 yuan per page; Consult with cartoonists.

The so-called manga rookie refers to a new manga artist who has just made his debut and serialized works in manga magazines; an old manga artist is a manga artist who has completed more than one work; manga master is a manga artist who has at least one well-known masterpiece.

For new comics like Li Mingyang, unless the drawings are creative and selling points, the rejection rate is as high as 90%. This is why Shenzhou comic studios are springing up like bamboo shoots after rain. There is no way for new comics, and comic studios can help operate , to earn fees from.

Perhaps the Young Marshal Studio is not a professional comic studio, and it is only the comic magazines that look down on them.

Purchasing comics serialized by yourself involves a problem of "self-financing". If the sales of comics are not good, then the comic magazine is a bottomless pit, and it doesn't matter how much money you put in.

"Is it too risky for us to serialize comics ourselves?"

Li Mingyang admitted that he was moved, but worry is inevitable, not afraid of [-], just in case, if his old classmate is implicated by him and loses everything, what should he do?
"There will definitely be risks, but this is not something you should worry about. Now you can just draw "Slam Dunk" wholeheartedly."

Since Lin Tianbao intends to acquire the manga series "Slam Dunk", then I am the master of my manga, and let the gods cut it in half and go to hell!

Li Mingyang asked: "A manga can not only serialize one manga, have you thought about other manga?"

Lin Tianbao raised his mouth and said, "Have you forgotten my old profession? Originally, I planned to sell the comic IPs of Xiaobing, Shishi, and Katu, but now I don't need to sell them. We operate the comics ourselves. IP."

Selling comic IPs is purely for money, and there are risks in running your own business. With the stickiness of Lin Jiajun's fans, it shouldn't be so miserable for him to lose all his money, right?

　Thanks to Sasebo for the monthly pass, Eternal Immortality, Undying Immortality, the client is too pitted, and Stoneman 123 for the reward.
