……

Yunfeng looked at the sales volume of various physical books in July sent by Zheng Rong.

Because "Waiting for Someone's Coffee" and "Captain Football: Elementary School Chapter" were released at the end of July and early August, and they were completed within half a month, so they haven't started to be serialized in Youxianqi Fiction Magazine, and the sales volume is mainly It was supported by "Pawnshop No. 8".

As for the Xianqi comic magazine, because of the word-of-mouth ferment of "Fengyun I", the sales volume in a single month continued to rise. The company's "New Superman", Penguin Comics' "The Top of the Immortal", and Kuaibo Comics' "Domineering President Don't Mess With Me" have many established competitors, but judging from the current sales and word-of-mouth performance, "Fengyun I" has indeed With a firm foothold, it is expected to continue to win the reader's popularity poll for the third quarter of the comic periodical.

As for the physical books of several novels, "Bartman" has the most stable sales, and the single volume sales far exceed the sales of "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". Except Maoyan, it should be able to break through tens of millions of copies.

"Dong dong dong..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.

Yunfeng said, "Come in."

Screenwriter Wen Dabao pushed the door open and said, "Boss, I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Sit." Yunfeng looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wen Dabao said embarrassingly: "It's like this, can you recruit another screenwriter to be responsible for writing the plot of the "Detective Conan" case."

Yunfeng was stunned and said, "You wrote "Murder in the Park Pool" very well, why did you hire another screenwriter?"

He needs a reasonable reason why two people should be used for what one person can do.

Wen Dabao showed a bitter expression, and explained: "It's like this. I used to write plots of martial arts, fairy tales, urban love, and science fiction. I have never come into contact with reasoning plots. "The Murder in the Park Pool" is enough. It took three days to write it out, it was...very strenuous."

Yunfeng fell into deep thought when he heard this.

Wen Dabao’s resume at the time did include the subject matter he was good at. At that time, he wanted to use his own novels for comics, so he thought Wen Dabao was very suitable, and he had an impromptu idea to make a "Conan" manga on Blue Star. In this way, Wen Dabao can be regarded as rushing the duck to the shelves.

And Wen Dabao is well aware of his abilities, "The Murder in the Park Pool" was written with great care, and at the same time, he also knows that no company will support idlers.

He put an envelope on Yunfeng's desk and said, "Boss, this is my letter of resignation."

Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is not enough to resign. Our comic studio does not only make "Detective Conan" comics, and the plot of "Detective Conan" comics can be divided into different characters. Between the main plot and the side plots of each case, so..."

After a pause, he looked at Wen Dabao and said, "You continue to be in charge of the main storyline. As for the side storylines, I will ask Brother Zheng to recruit one or two people who are good at writing reasoning stories."

This was not considered previously.

The team of the original author of "Conan" is quite large, otherwise there would be more than 1000 chapters, involving hundreds of cases, and the author alone would not be able to do it even if he thought about losing all his hair.

Wen Dabao looked at Yunfeng gratefully, and said, "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely write the main plot well."

He was very happy to keep this job.

Yunfeng nodded slightly. Judging from the first chapter of "Detective Conan", Wen Dabao wrote the rhythm and foreshadowing of the main plot very well, which is worthy of trust.

After Wen Dabao left, he immediately told Zheng Rong about it.

"How many do you want to recruit?" Zheng Rong asked.

"Hmm..." Yunfeng thought for a while, and said, "Let's try recruiting one first, and wait until "Detective Conan" is serialized to see how the sales are, and then consider whether to expand the scale of the comic studio."

"Okay, let me talk to Xiao Dong and ask her to send out job advertisements." Zheng Rong wanted to use the fewest people to do the most things. However, it is impossible for a screenwriter to be proficient in all themes, unless he is a genius, that is, like People like Yunfeng, however, are all geniuses, so why would they want to be a small screenwriter.

Yunfeng remembered something, and said again: "I told you last time, have you investigated the domestic cultural and creative derivatives market?"

Zheng Rong nodded and said, "Investigated."

Pulled out a folder, and continued: "In China, the so-called 'cultural and creative derivatives' usually refer to ancient crafts or artistic processed products, but in essence, most of them are only used as valuable commemorative items. In the early days, there was not much consumer recognition. It was not until later that the derivatives markets such as European and American film and television dramas, novels, animation and comics were greatly developed and multiplied, and the consumption level of cultural and creative derivatives was gradually increased. However, domestic film and television dramas , novels, cartoons and other derivatives are still in their infancy, and most cultural and creative derivatives are developed to a relatively low level..."

Cultural and creative derivatives, that is, peripheral products, are derivatives formed by the combination of cultural creativity and original products, with some artistic colors, and are generally exquisitely processed and finalized.

In fact, Zheng Rong didn't look at the peripheral product market at first.

Because the current domestic peripheral market is mainly based on the purchase of foreign IP agency rights, domestic original IP has not formed a mature and complete process, and many hot IPs have not yet opened up the industrial chain in China.

But after investigation, I found out that in Europe and the United States, the revenue share of peripheral products is close to 2:8. Most teenagers and even middle-aged people love peripheral products far more than original products themselves.

And Yunfeng is well aware of the huge potential of the peripheral product market.

In the previous life on the earth, there was a saying called "Otaku have one wall, Yanjing has one apartment".

It is said that otaku like to put their collections such as figurines, Gundams, and model cars in display cabinets against the wall, and these collections are usually exquisitely crafted, extremely expensive, and can cost hundreds of thousands, often an inconspicuous figure It's seven or eight hundred yuan, and the better ones are thousands of yuan or tens of thousands of yuan. The price of a wall of collections is hard to estimate.

Furthermore, Bluestar attaches great importance to various copyrights, and the prevention of piracy is super strict, and consumers have a high awareness of paying for genuine copies.

Therefore, we must pay attention to the big cake of the peripheral product market, but this big cake is not easy to grab.

Zheng Rong briefly described the survey results of the domestic peripheral market, and then said: "In recent years, the number of animation exhibitions and digital interactive entertainment exhibitions held in China has gradually increased. This year's National Day, there will be one in Shanghai."

Yunfeng nodded and said, "Go get a booth when the time comes."

"The booth fee is not expensive." Zheng Rong touched his nose and said, "But, what are we going to take to participate in the exhibition?"

Yunfeng smiled, and replied: "Naturally, they are peripheral products of Fengyun Comics and Conan Comics, such as figures, pillows, and clothing."

Zheng Rong's eyes flickered and said: "Then I will contact the factory."

The National Day is less than two months away, and it will take time to customize these peripheral products.
