Big Manga

Yang Liang and Wang Zhe also came to the cultural square.

"There are a lot of people, but it is simpler than I imagined."

Looking at the crowds in the square, Wang Zhe was surprised by the flow of people, but he was a little disappointed by the shops and facilities in the square.

The shops here are very simple, most of them are just a huge parasol, and then there are a few tables and chairs underneath, and some people are selling things in this simple environment, it is simply a temporary market.

"I think it's fine……"

But Yang Liang could accept it: "This is a square, it's impossible for you to expect it to be like a commercial street...and there are a lot of places to rest, Phoenix Company has done a good job."

Although the shops are simple, each shop has a special place to rest, and Yangliang also saw several large rest areas in the distance. In this midsummer season, it is enough to have a place to hide from the sun.

"Go, don't forget our mission."

Yang Liang walked over with Wang Zhe. They came here to investigate the situation of the celebration. Seventy percent of the activities of this celebration were organized by readers, which is very important data.

"But speaking of it, I feel that this place is more like a snack street!"

Yang Liang said that he found that although there are many shops, most of them sell drinks and food: "Is this food related to comics?"

"I think there should be, wait a moment..."

Wang Zhe turned around and went to buy two cups of cones, handed one to Yang Liang, and said, "Look."

Yang Hao took it curiously, and saw a yellow face dotted on the top of the cone: "This is... Pikachu?"

"Yes, the minister also knows." Wang Zhe nodded, then pointed to the side: "Pikachu is very popular, look at that balloon is also in the shape of Pikachu."

Yangliang looked over, there was a child holding a balloon, and the shape of the balloon happened to be the shape of a yellow Pikachu. Not only that, but if you look farther, you can see many people holding different elf balloons.

"So that's how it is... that's okay too." Yang Liang looked at the cone in his hand. I understood in my heart, it turns out that everything here has the idea of ​​adding some comics.

"Do you want to write it down?"

Wang Zhe asked.

"record."

Yangliang said a word, then continued to walk forward while eating a cone, he saw a very busy area, which seemed to be several shops selling comics, and many people left with comics.

"I haven't seen those comics?" Yang Liang said with a frown. He had no impression of the comics these people held in their hands: "And the quality of the pages is not very good."

"That's a fan comic."

Wang Zhe replied. As the editor-in-chief of the comics, he was a little excited: "Minister, maybe some new cartoonists can be discovered here, you should go to other places first, I want to read these comics."

Doujinshi?

Yang Liang was a little surprised, he had never heard of fan comics, but this area was very crowded. It's much more lively than those places to eat. Do fan comics have such great value?

"Go and see..."

Because there were so many people there, Yang Liang didn't want to go there. He agreed to Wang Zhe's suggestion, and the two acted separately. Yang Liang continued to walk forward and saw more interesting shops.

Selling small items of comics, food, fan comics, clothing, pillows, etc., this place is like a commercial pilot...

"He Xi. Does he want to..."

Yangliang became worried. He felt more and more that this place was not a celebration, but a commercial experiment field. It feels very similar to Yanjing's movie street here - although it is only a prototype, it feels very similar.

Is He Xi planning to build a real-life 'Comic Street' or 'Comic City'? Looking at the bustle of this square, He Xi's appeal is so strong, it seems that he can really succeed.

"We underestimated his ambition?"

Yang Liang thought to himself, they always knew that He Xi was experimenting with comic business opportunities, but they never thought that he would reach the sky in one step. Directly carry out drastic reforms in reality.

But if he did this, then He Xi's Manga Street would evolve into a 'Holy Land of Manga', and its influence would be greatly enhanced.

"No...it's not that easy to succeed!"

Yang Liang shook his head. Indeed, He Xi is the only one who can build a comic street in Huaxia now. He is the symbol of Huaxia comics industry, without his participation. A manga street established by others cannot become an authority.

And He Xi established it personally, even without the participation of other people, he can still produce results. Especially if this celebration can be successfully concluded, many local governments must be aware of the possibility of Manga Street. Will be willing to support He Xi.

The problem is that it is very difficult to build such a street. It not only requires a huge economy and comprehensive strength, but also a network of contacts. Phoenix Company does not yet have this ability.

"I should be worrying too much..."

Yang Liang heaved a sigh of relief when he thought that Phoenix Company hadn't reached even the most basic strength. No matter what, it is impossible to establish a comic street.

And with the current development speed of the Huaxia comics industry, a year later, the entire market will be full of flowers. Even if He Xi is still the number one, Zhongxia comics is also qualified to establish its own comic street.

They all have this kind of financial ability now, but it is very embarrassing that their headquarters are in Ninghai. Without He Xi's participation, Manga Street would not be recognized by readers at all.

"In the final analysis... we should let him leave early."

Yang Liang concluded that their influence in Ninghai had increased a lot this year, and if He Xi left for a while longer, Ninghai would completely become Zhongxia's territory.

An hour later, Yang Liang and Wang Zhe met in the rest area.

"How about it, Minister, it's very lively everywhere!"

Wang Zhe asked.

"Well, the order is also maintained very well. I just found out that someone was causing trouble, and a group of girls went to mediate." Yang Liang said strangely: "Letting the girls mediate is a good idea. I don't know who came up with it. "

"Who knows, Minister, I found a few new cartoonists, but they are all booked by Phoenix Company..." Wang Zhe was a little regretful, and then said: "And I found that the fan works sold are very popular. The supply exceeds the demand, Teacher He Xi's celebration this time is definitely a success."

"That's right. In terms of business, it should be a success."

Yangliang agrees that there are a lot of tourists in the celebration, and every store can make money. He regrets that this is a success. If there is a celebration next time, his readers will probably be more enthusiastic and active in organizing activities spontaneously.

"This celebration. Those who get the most benefits should be those who open the shop..."

Yangliang said,

"No! Minister, Phoenix Company also opened a store. They sell genuine peripheral products, and the store is even more popular..."

As Wang Zhe said, he took out a fan. Explained: "This is a fan I bought at the flagship store of "Inuyasha". The price is 70 Huaxia coins. I waited in line for three minutes to buy it!"

"70 Huaxia coins?"

Yangliang took the fan and looked it up and down. This fan is not much different from the usual 2 and 30 fans, but after opening it, you can see the poster of "Inuyasha", and there is also a logo of Phoenix Company printed on it. In this way - the price doubled?

"The cheapest ones there are star cards and bookmarks. They cost 4 or 5 yuan, and the more expensive weapon models and clothes can't be bought with 600 to 700 Huaxia coins..."

Wang Zhe said solemnly: "I heard that each of He Xi's works has a flagship store. "Inuyasha" should be a moderately well-known work, but it is overcrowded, let alone other stores."

"Phoenix Company paid a lot for renting the cultural square, but I think they can earn back the money by selling the peripherals."

Yang Liang's eyes widened.

"No way. It's so lively?" He said quickly, "Take me there quickly."

Wang Zhe wiped his sweat.

"Let's go after lunch first." He said, "It's almost noon, and the number of people here hasn't decreased at all, and there will be no seats in a while."

It was close to 11:30, but the number of people in the square did not decrease, and there were long queues outside many shops. Wang Zhe and Yang Liang searched for a long time, but there was no place to sit and eat. I can only pack and go back to the rest area.

There are also many people eating in the rest area, which looks very crowded and there is no place.

"Forget it sitting on the ground, I really hope there will be fewer people in the afternoon."

Yang Liang took a newspaper and sat on the ground. Said while eating fried noodles.

"Me too."

Wang Zhe catered to them, and the two of them would not leave so early: "Teacher He Xi will only appear at night, I don't know what time it is."

"Are you also waiting for Teacher He Xi?"

As soon as Wang Zhe finished speaking, the young man next to him excitedly said, "So are we. There are a lot of people here, and it's too tiring to walk around. How about we play cards here in the afternoon?"

He also brought a companion and looked over expectantly.

"No, we have things to do this afternoon."

Wang Zhe immediately refused. Although playing cards is a good way to pass the time, he and Yang Liang still have a lot to observe. There are no activities this morning, but it will gradually become lively in the afternoon.

Several stages have been set up in the cultural square. Starting in the afternoon, some fan groups will perform on these stages, and they will go to see them.

"Oh, forget it."

The young man felt a little pity, and then he talked to other people.

Yang Liang and Wang Zhe were eating, and they felt that the rest area was very noisy, and everyone was excitedly talking about some comic topics.

"Have you watched the latest episode of Gundam Seed?"

"Look, the heroine in the OP finally came out, but she is still an idol... I like this setting!"

"The protagonist can pick up an idol even if he picks up trash, but then again, I heard that the voice actress of Lux will appear tonight? Do you know who it is?"

"Hey, I know this, Lacus' voice actress is Miss Long Xue, she is very beautiful."

"Damn it, Long Xue? Isn't that Miss Joy's voice actress?"

Listening to these discussions, Wang Zhe and Yang Liang felt a little tasteless when they ate.

"Wang Zhe... "Gundam Seed" has only been out for two months?"

"kindness"

Wang Zhe nodded, suddenly a little embarrassed: "None of our animations are particularly popular, but Mr. He Xi's second one is popular again. My wife is also watching "Gundam Seed" recently, and she said it's like a romance drama. "

Yang Liang's face was a little cold.

"He Xi can play everything smoothly. The girl Qin Yana recommended "Gundam Seed" on Weibo two days ago. Do you know what's going on?"

He suddenly remembered this unpleasant incident.

"Qin Ya made her debut writing romance and idol works. I think this work should be in line with her hobbies." Wang Zhe said: "The plot of "Gundam Seed" has the feeling of an idol drama, friendship, love, war, and so on. There are intricate interpersonal relationships...it fits the hobbies of young people today."

"Qin Ya's recommendation of "Gundam Seed" on Weibo shouldn't have any special meaning. The minister doesn't have to take it to heart... She is a cartoonist, and I think respecting her opponent is a great improvement."

Yangliang is silent. Indeed, compared to blind hostility, a manga artist who can objectively analyze the opponent's strengths is more valuable to cultivate.

"you're right."

He didn't think about it anymore, took a rest after eating, and then started the afternoon visit with Wang Zhe.

The content in the afternoon is much more interesting than the morning, there are stage plays, cosplay and singer competitions, as well as some winning prizes, entertainment activities, etc...

Yang Liang was greatly surprised by these activities organized by the readers himself, but he was not satisfied. At night, when the entire venue was covered with lights, the official stage was lit up.
