Hongkong.
Clear Water Bay Set.
In the office, Chen Qi looked through a sample magazine of "CO-CO!" magazine. The small 16 edition was opened. The cover and insert were full color, the content was black and white, and the price was HK$7.
That's right, it's just this price. In the early 1980s, Hong Kong comic magazines even sold 2 Hong Kong dollars. It would be like a pocket book and was very small.
There are two long series of "Pokemon" and "Visitor".
When Tomoehiro first studied with the editor, he named it "Gate of Ghosts", and later imitated "Journey to the West" and named it "Journey to the West", because there are many monsters, and they are also from the Demon World, the Little Hell King, etc.
As a result, there was also a comic "Jiangyouji" that had already occupied the name, and it was finally designated as "Youyoubaishu".
The word "white book" has a very Japanese characteristic.
Chen Qi is now localized, so he naturally cannot use "white books" and is called "Youyouji". Correspondingly, some characters' names also need to be localized, and the protagonist's name has become "Lin Youle", retaining the word You. His good brother has become "Shen Zhenhao", abbreviated as Ah Hao.
Both of them are bad boys in their teenage years, but this bad guy is just not interested in studying, rebellious, and impulsive. They are not like young and dandy.
There are still some characters that have not changed, such as Tosuro, whose setting is Japanese.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has a setting called "Dark Martial Arts Conference". All the players from all walks of life come to participate, and Chen Qi can add to his private goods.
Similarly, the same is true for "Pokemon", which challenges the gym, regional competitions, and world championships. Many Japanese comics like to adopt the "World Competition" setting, which helps promote the plot and portray supporting roles.
The core idea of ​​Chen Qi's localization is to slowly unfold the story with Chinese elements as the fulcrum, and to be compatible with the cultural elements of the surrounding or the whole world through the portrayal of various supporting roles.
In addition, the magazine also has several short stories, and the column is called "New Story Edition".
Draw ancient allusions and history in the form of modern comics.
There are also some four-frame satirical comics, interviews with celebrities on comics, introductions to comic artists at home and abroad, etc. There is a special column that has been communicated with the Japanese side and introduced Akira Toriyama's "Comics Research Institute".
This is a work written by Toriyama, which is specially designed to teach you how to draw comics.
It is very detailed, and it is very clear from the creation of characters, storyboards, drawings, and even pencils and ink.
Finally, there is a call for papers.
The first COCO Cup Super Short Stories Award-winning Call for Papers!
The so-called super short story is a comic work with up to four pages. The author himself arranges the number of pieces of each page, and the subject matter is not limited, and it will last until the end of the year. The most important thing is that the magazine selects excellent works to publish and selects the top three:
The championship bonus is 100,000 yuan!
Runner-up 50,000!
Third place 30,000!
"The wealth is so touching! There are still some excellent local authors in Hong Kong, but they have not emerged."
Chen Qi closed the sample issue and was generally satisfied.
The Hong Kong market is too small, so he wants to make big money promotion and make preparations for losing money in the early stage. It is definitely not possible to rely on the local area alone. If you want to make money, you must go out and make more derivative products.
Let me talk about it here that in Hong Kong in the 1980s, local comics dominated the world, and Japanese comics had no market. Until the 1990s, Huang Yulang obtained the authorization of Japanese comic magazines and introduced the genuine version to Hong Kong.
Local comics are trapped in the pornographic styles of "Young and Dangerous" and "Young and Dangerous Girl". Coupled with the full invasion of Japanese cartoons, the second-dimensional market has been basically occupied, and only one McDull can strengthen its momentum.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Boss, the guest is here!"
Gu Weili came in to report, Chen Qi stood up and went out, and saw a young lady in the reception room.
She is tall, has white and tender skin, and has a soft waist, but she has a perfect figure with a twig-shaped fruit. She looks not thin and has a little lush beauty. The style of Xu Qing is called the best.
Her name is Zhang Xiaohui!
Now that I haven't married Zhong Zhentao yet.
"Mr. Chen, how dare you come here in person? I'm flattered!"
Zhang Xiaohui is only 24 years old. When her youth is just right, she approaches with a fragrant breeze. Chen Qi's nose is itchy. He shook his hand and smiled, "Miss Zhang is willing to help me, I am very grateful."
"It's nothing! No one has ever asked me to guide the comics, and I won't agree if I'm not interested. But I don't know what you asked me to do specifically, and I won't compensate if I messed up."
"Haha, it's very simple! Just take them around the street for a few days and give them some tips on the luxury goods."
"Then you've found the right person, but I have to take students to see the qualifications."
"No problem, no problem. Two of them are studying fashion design, and the remaining few are all young and beautiful girls who can make a living."
After saying that, Chen Qi took her to the comics classroom.
Zhang Xiaohui's ancestral home is Shaoxing. Her father is the first generation of advertisers in Hong Kong. Her mother also comes from a wealthy family. Later, she immigrated to Canada and was a rich lady. She was like this before she married Zhong Zhentao, and she was not so generous after she got married.
The two went bankrupt because they caught up with the financial crisis.
Of course, she is not a passionate woman, so she divorced Zhong Zhentao after going bankrupt.
After entering the comics classroom, I recruited several more people, and now there are 25. Everyone was sitting inside and waiting, looking at Zhang Xiaohui curiously. Is this the teacher today?
Chen Qi stood on the stage and said, "After National Day, the magazine will be officially released! I have seen how you have been studying hard all over the past three months. I am very pleased that everyone has made significant progress.
There is still half a month left, and in addition to doing the final sprint, I plan to give you a week off.
Especially comrades from the mainland, who have not seen Hong Kong well, I will take this opportunity to take you to have fun and relax.”
Buzzing!
As soon as this statement was said, there were a lot of turmoil. Chen Jun, Wu Xiaochun, Zhao Hongmei and other seven mainland comrades were extremely excited. They were like senior high school students, and were stuffed into various knowledge, practicing crazy every day and doing exercises.
Just draw, there is no spare time in your mind.
Zhao Hongmei asked boldly: "Boss, do you pay for the fee?"
"Bag!"
Chen Qi did not hesitate and smiled: "Each person has a quota of 10,000 yuan. You can buy whatever you want, and buy it for your family. We will help you send it back."
"yeah!"
"Long live the boss!"
Whether from mainland China or Hong Kong, everyone couldn't help but cheer. The money was given in place, and six sticks in a second were just the limit of sticks!
Zhang Xiaohui was also surprised. She was spreading over 200,000 yuan now? What a generous man. She had never contacted the leftists before, and today she only thought she was here to play. Her eyes were full of glory when she looked at Chen Qi.
Young, handsome, wealthy, powerful, talented, and wife...perfect!
The exchange between the two parties was that she gave comics mainly to "Sailor Moon", and Oriental Company would let her participate in the movie.
Chen Qi said again: "You have read the sample magazine. "Pokemon" and "Visitor" will be released first, "Sailor Moon" needs to be brewed again. Wu Haiqiong! Zhao Hongmei!"
"arrive!"
One in Hong Kong and the other in the mainland, two girls from the fashion design department stood up, and Chen Qi introduced Zhang Xiaohui: "Ms. Zhang is responsible for taking you shopping, just listen to her."
"clear!"
The reason why "Sailor Moon" was successful is that in addition to creating the magical battle girl type, the fashion sense in it is also an important element, which will make young readers yearn for it.
So he found Zhang Xiaohui.
"I hope everyone can spend the last half month well. Once the magazine is published, what we welcome you will inevitably be repeated work. I will guarantee everyone's logistics life, and you only need to create with peace of mind.
I have said before that comics, animations, toys, and games are a series of developments. You are the pioneers of the company's expansion! And for the entire comic industry, this is also a note worth remembering. There will be your names in history!"
"Wish us success!"
"It must be successful!"
“Long live CO-CO!”
Chen Qi started painting cakes again, and by the way, inciting emotions, everyone was excited and wanted to sell their lives.
(There are still... tonight)
Chapter completed!
