Hong Kong Comic Master

Li Wannian's proposal was finally unanimously affirmed by everyone.

In this way, DreamWorks Entertainment Co., Ltd. was officially established on June 27, 1976.

It currently has two enterprises, namely Second Dimension Magazine and Yihe Printing Factory.

Li Chongjun is the chairman of the company and concurrently serves as the director of the company's Yihe Printing Factory.

Li Wanshui is the company's executive director and concurrently serves as the company's general manager.

Li Wannian is the most special. Although he is the vice chairman of the company, he does not hold any position in the company and only serves as a company consultant.

The reason for doing this is mainly because his status is too special. He is currently a contracted writer of the magazine, or in other words, the only writer.

In this case, since he is already Party B, how can he be Party A?

Isn't that a mess?

Therefore, He Luming (Uncle He) temporarily serves as the president and editor-in-chief of Second Dimension Magazine.

However, considering Li Wannian's help in the development of the company, it was impossible to exclude him from the decision-making level, so he was given the position of consultant.

In this way, he does not have to work in the company, he can study hard, and he can also intervene in some of the company's decisions.

For Li Wannian, it is a very good position at present.

In addition, detailed regulations were also made regarding Li Wannian's remuneration. In this regard, Li Wannian made many suggestions, because this was not just about his remuneration, but also about formulating a plan for other authors of the magazine in the future. Remuneration standards.

To this end, Li Wannian referred to the experience of later generations and divided the contributing writers into five grades based on the number of views and popularity of the comics: bronze, silver, gold, platinum and diamond.

The writer's remuneration consists of two parts: the basic royalty and the popularity bonus.

Take Li Wannian as an example:

His precious writer account currently has a golden contract, so his basic manuscript fee can reach 40 Hong Kong dollars for a single page. In addition, the reading volume of "Pokémon" is currently 10,000, so his popularity The bonus is HKD 50 per page.

Taking an episode of 20 pages as an example, the trumpet account of Li Wannian Gems can earn 1,800 RMB per issue. Taking four issues a month as an example, he can earn 7,200 RMB a month, which is far more than the average working class.

In the same way, his Stephen Chow trumpet has reached the platinum level because the reading volume of "Chinese Master Chef" is 18,000. His single-page manuscript fee can reach 50 mosquitoes, and the popularity reward can also reach 100 mosquitoes. After one issue, He can earn 3,000 mosquitoes and easily earn over 10,000 yuan a month.

As for Li Wannian's Long Live King, it goes without saying that it will be directly offered as a diamond contract. At this level, the contract can be signed separately.

Li Wannian signed a share agreement, which means that for every two-dimensional magazine sold, Wanzai can get 10% of the income.

Of course, this means that Li Wannian is Li Chongjun's biological son. If anyone else, no matter how powerful they are, would kill Li Chongjun, they would not be able to sign such a contract with him!

Therefore, after such a contract is signed, Li Wannian's monthly income will be HK$50,000.

And this is just the magazine's income. As we all know, the majority of a cartoonist's income comes from single volumes and copyrights.

Next, what Li Wanshui wants to talk about is this issue, surroundings!

"Nian Zai, which one of your comics do you think is more suitable for peripherals?"

"Pokémon!"

Li Wannian gave his answer almost without pausing for a moment.

"This answer surprised me. I thought it would be Death! How could it be the least popular Pokémon?"

"When I was choosing the subject matter, I classified the audience for the comics. Among them, the audience for "Pokémon" should be the youngest! Unfortunately, we can only make comics at the moment. If it can be adapted into animation, The influence of "Pokémon" will be stronger! The peripherals will also be better purchased!"

"Earning money from children?"

Almost instantly, Li Wanshui understood what Li Wannian meant.

The audience of "Death" and "MasterChef" are slightly older, while the audience of "Pokémon" is younger. However, it is difficult for these people to buy comic books on their own, so they still need to You can get information about "Pokémon" by watching the anime on TV.

However, the cost of an animation is now too high, and it is simply beyond the reach of this newly born company!

"What are you going to do? Toys? Dolls? Clothes?"

Li Wannian shook his head and said: "All of these can be done, but licensing is enough. The real popularity of "Pokémon" is not its appearance and plot, but its playability?"

"Playability? You mean video games?"

Since the birth of electronic games in 1952, after more than 20 years of development, in the 1970s, electronic games have gradually grown up and entered the era of console games.

However, the amount of investment in video games can be higher than in animation!

"No, it's the cards!"

"Cards?"

Now, there was finally something Li Wanshui didn’t understand!

The so-called "Pokémon" cards, in the original time and space, were the Pokémon trading card game launched by Nintendo in 1996, which included not only Pokémon cards, but also energy cards, trainer cards and special cards. A card that can be collected and played against.

Although he is not as popular as the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" card, he was once a memory of Li Wannian's childhood.

I remember that when he was in elementary school, he often spent 1.5 yuan with his friends to buy a bag of "Pokemon" cards, wanting to collect all 151 Pokémon.

There were 11 cards in a bag, and he and his friends bought thousands of cards without realizing it.

I really don't know where did they get so much pocket money when they were young?

In the 21st century, such card games could be successful, and now in the 70s, they would be even more successful.

Using mature business models to attack the current immature market is what Li Wannian likes to do the most!

"I'm telling you now, but you don't understand. Wait until I make it and show it to you!"

"Okay!"

Finally, everything was discussed and it was completely dark.

Before leaving, Li Wanshui pulled Li Wanshan aside again.

"Do you hate me for not having your shares in the company?"

"How could that be? Since you said I have other arrangements, I'll listen to you!"

At this moment, Li Wanshan had long lost his eagerness and seemed particularly calm.

"Well, that's good. I didn't misjudge you! Although I've always been dissatisfied with you, I know that you are a smart person! As a smart person, you should know what it means to 'don't put all your eggs in one basket', right?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'll lend you money, and you can set up a company. The name is up to you. As for the company type, just write Business Information Co., Ltd."
