Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

Xiangjiang.

DreamWorks Studios.

In the newly built manga building.

Feng Zhiming, Ma Rongcheng, Niu Lao, Xie Zhirong, Zhao Rude, Li Zhiqing, Dick, and Qiancao each held a drawing, and all looked in shock as they were surrounded by Huang Yulang, Shangguan Xiaobao, Shangguan Xiaolong, and Shangguan Xiaowei. Xu Cun in the middle of the conference room!

After scanning Feng Shiming and others one by one, Xu Cuncai said: Hokage, ONEPIECE, Reaper, Fullmetal Alchemist, Hunter, Yu Yu Hakusho, Crayon Shin-chan, Cherry Little Maruko (these comics were all changed by Xu Cun to comics with Xiangjiang as the background, the mainland as the background, or simply a virtual background) is a comic that I have come up with in the past ten years. The general plot and main characters believe you I have understood, and they will be filled and expanded by you in the future... I hate that kind of labor distribution with dead wages, and think it is unfair to those who are talented and hardworking, so, you will be with the Marvel comic All departments will receive a labor contract with basic salary plus commission. Of course, the copyright of the comics you create will be owned by me just like Marvel... Your department will be headed by Huang Yulang in the future, and Shangguan Xiaobao will be the deputy director... ...In addition, without competition, there will be no motivation. Therefore, the eight comics will be divided into four groups, with Huang Yulang, Shangguan Xiaobao, Shangguan Xiaolong, and Shangguan Xiaowei in charge of each group... At the end of the year, the company will sales, different rewards are given to each group, and individuals who have made outstanding contributions, the company also rewards a number of dry stocks.

Speaking of this, Xu Cun deliberately paused, and then said: Do you have anything to say?

Huang Yulang looked at the others, and said first, Mr. Xu, there is a big problem that needs to be solved immediately.

Xu Cun looked at Huang Yulang and asked, What's the problem?

Huang Yulang replied: The comics industry is no different than other industries. It is an industry that requires professional practitioners. You have opened eight comics at a time, plus my Dragon Tiger Gate and Shangguan Xiaobao's Bruce Lee and other comics. Even if all the cartoonists in Xiangjiang are recruited into our DreamWorks comics, it will not be able to guarantee our creative needs...

Xu Cun asked Huang Yulang, Then do you have any plans?

Huang Yulang looked at Shangguan Xiaobao and the others, and said: I declare in advance, Mr. Xu, I didn't mean to compliment you, but just discussing the facts... Judging from my 24 years of experience in the comics industry, your All eight comics are selling well!

When Huang Yulang said this, the three Shangguan brothers and Feng Zhiming and others nodded at the same time—the works of comics such as Hokage, One Piece, Reaper, Fullmetal Alchemist, Hunter, and Yu Yu Hakusho Creativity is simply unheard of by those who have drawn comics all their lives, and the content makes them both moved and excited, and Crayon Shin-chan and Chibi Maruko-chan are funny and childlike, and they all agree with Huang Yulang's words that these Manga should be popular!

Huang Yulang continued: Most of the cartoons in our hands don't make much money, I think it's better to finish them all, so as to free up many cartoonists and screenwriters, and then let these cartoonists and screenwriters fully develop you These eight comics.

Hearing Huang Yulang's idea, Xu Cun nodded secretly, thinking: Huang Yulang deserves to be the Yulang International man who has made such a great achievement, and he is very courageous!

As for Shangguan Xiaobao and the others, they were all shocked when they heard Huang Yulang's proposal. Among them, Shangguan Xiaobao was the most——Shangguan Xiaobao had been drawing the cartoon Bruce Lee for more than ten years, and it had already been drawn. Therefore, Shangguan Xiaobao is really reluctant to end Bruce Lee at this point, and the situation of other people is similar to Shangguan Xiaobao!

actually--

Shangguan Xiaobao and others also knew that what Huang Yulang said was a good solution to the current problem, but Shangguan Xiaobao still wanted to fight for it, so Shangguan Xiaobao said: I have another way.

The comics industry is no different than other industries—in many cases, a cartoonist can only draw one set of cartoons in a lifetime, so it can be said that he lives and dies for one set of cartoons.

Therefore, Xu Cun can understand the reluctance of Shangguan Xiaobao and others!

Therefore, Xu Cun asked Shangguan Xiaobao: Does Mr. Kuang have any good suggestions?

Shangguan Xiaobao straightened his body and said, We can hire another group of cartoonists.

Xu Cun asked calmly: A manga artist? Are you going to Japan?

Shangguan Xiaobao shook his head and said, No, the wages of manga practitioners in Japan are too expensive, we can't afford to waste this money.

As soon as Shangguan Xiaobao's words came out, many people including Huang Yulang looked to the north at the same time.

Seeing this, Shangguan Xiaobao nodded and said, Yes, I'm going to the mainland to invite you!

Xu Cun asked in surprise, There are also cartoonists in the mainland?

Xu Cun is really ignorant!

In fact, China’s animation production level is already very good. Osamu Tezuka, the father of Japanese manga, also embarked on the road of manga after watching Chinese animation.

In the following decades, Chinese comics have never lagged behind any other country in terms of art.

Until that turmoil...

As we all know, the labor cost in the United States has always been extremely high, so since 1965, the United States has cooperated with low-wage countries to produce cartoons.

At that time, the preferred partner of the United States was Japan, which directly promoted the development and prosperity of the Japanese manga and animation industry.

After more than 20 years of development, the animation industry in Japan has initially prospered. At the same time, it is also facing the same problem that the animation industry in the United States had in the past—the wages of animation practitioners are too high.

As a result, Japanese animation companies have also begun to cooperate with South Korea, Taiwan, and mainland China, especially in mainland China, which has low wages and a good animation foundation, and outsources the basic production of animation.

Therefore, China now has a large number of low-paid but highly skilled cartoonists.

After hearing the explanation from Shangguan Xiaobao and others, Xu Cun thought for a while and said, Okay, Mr. Kuang is in charge of this matter.

After listening to Xu Cun's order, Shangguan Xiaobao said: Okay, I will go north tomorrow! After hesitating for a while, Shangguan Xiaobao tried again: Mr. Xu, the comics we are creating...

Xu Cun smiled and said: If you like painting, then continue to paint, but I will say the same thing, the purpose of our company is always to distribute rewards based on the benefits created.——What Xu Cun said is very easy to understand, That is: You can draw, but the cartoons you draw don't make money, and I won't give you money.

Shangguan Xiaobao and the others looked at each other, and finally made the same decision in their minds—their original cartoons and Xu Cun's creative cartoons were drawn first, and then the final decision was made after seeing the results. In addition, Shangguan Xiaobao and the others didn't believe that the comics they had been running for many years would be so much worse than the few ideas of Xu Cun, a layman!
