Rebirth of the Father of Anime

He Chen was busy with his assistant, and Liu Yun and Phoenix Publishing House finally reported back the sales of the manga booklets.

"Digimon" took advantage of the wave of enthusiasm at the end, and the sales volume of the first volume reached 700,000 copies in the first week; "Pokemon" sold 350,000 copies in the first week; articles, reaching 400,000 sales.

This surprised a lot of people, and it was unbelievable that a fan work actually beat the deity in physical sales.

For a long time, in terms of comics, everyone regarded He Chen as an insurmountable peak, but "Pokemon Special" let them see hope and opportunity: as long as the story is good, there is nothing that cannot be surpassed!

"If you say defeat, it's not a defeat, right? Boss, didn't you give Hui Moan a lot of advice? After all, this book should be co-authored by the two of you." Zhuang Bufan said to He Chen.

When he first saw the world of "My Pokémon", when discussing the plot with Hui Mou Moment, He Chen did reveal a lot of the content of the special episode, and only then did he restore the original flavor of "Pokemon Special".

"The story is a flashback, I just offered a little opinion." He Chen didn't take the credit, on the contrary, he very much hoped to see such a situation, at least to show that people don't buy comics just for his name. But really enjoy the manga.

"Only by surpassing can progress be made. I very much hope that more and more people can surpass me."

The more people who surpassed his cartoons, the more classic cartoons He Chen could read, and there was nothing he liked more than this.

"Young man, it's really rare to have such a mentality." Yi Tianxing praised, his son didn't come, this time he came to discuss things with He Chen on behalf of his son's Liuyun Publishing House, and continued to discuss with He Chen by the way He wrote stories to his grandson.

It is rare for others, but it is very common for He Chen, because he knows that those stories are not created by him, so he will never take credit for them.

Due to Yi Tianxing's reasons, "Doraemon" has led to the purchase of all major schools across the country. The story is interesting and its popularity among students is not low. Coupled with the ulterior motives of major merchants, the sales of the first volume in the first week exceeded 500 in one fell swoop. Wan mark. It was released in December this year, but it directly reached the second place in the annual cumulative sales list, and there is only a gap of more than 100,000 copies from the first place.

"Tsk tsk, if your "Doraemon" is no longer serialized online, maybe you can win the first place in annual sales in a week." Yi Tianxing said that online serialization has a great impact on physical publishing. Except for book lovers, only those who really like a certain book will buy it and collect it.

He Chen curled his lips and didn't take it seriously: "Stop talking, if I don't serialize on the Internet, you won't be able to see my comics, and if you can't see them, you won't make such remarks, and everyone won't follow suit, so you won't be able to read them at all. It has reached the current level of influence. I still believe that the annual accumulative volume is 5 million, and in the first week...how much water is there, don’t you know?”

How many people here are really willing to collect the recently serialized "Doraemon", He Chen doesn't know, but he believes that in order to respond to the call of Yi Tianxing, the winner of the Novola Literature Award, the school must be in this sales volume. Contributed a lot of strength.

Yi Tianxing smiled slightly: "No matter how many people see it, if it is sold, it is a sales volume. These are all real deals, and there is no half-moisture. Do you still think you have too much money?"

"Vulgar! A great writer,

Look at your philistine face when you talk about money. "He Chen sneered.

Yi Tianxing was calm and composed: "What's wrong with this, your sales volume is not fake, if others buy your book, there must be a reason to buy it - don't care if it's like it, it's recommended by the school, or it's because you read it I bought them all, so let’s get involved. The sales volume may not necessarily mean that your book is a good book, but it definitely means that your book is very popular.”

"Mr. He Chen, do you want to give up the online serialization? Or let the online serialization be delayed a little longer than the physical one?" People from Phoenix Publishing House suggested to He Chen. Due to He Chen's current influence and his ability to sit and discuss with Yi Tianxing, Phoenix Publishing House also began to call He Chen, a student who has not yet graduated, a teacher.

"Conan" was beyond He Chen's expectation. The popularity on the website was not high, but the physical sales were only a little lower than "Digimon", which was full of the end of the animation: 140,000 in the first six days.

He Chen was extremely puzzled by this, wondering if it was because of the handsome cover on the booklet?

The website was serialized, and He Chen only set a cover for the book. The booklet was originally intended for readers to collect, so He Chen drew additional wonderful color pictures that were not available on the website, as well as the coloring pages of each character that appeared in the booklet.

Phoenix Publishing House, who originally wanted to drink soup, did not expect to find a piece of fat meat, so it was also thoughtful, so it made such a suggestion to He Chen.

Such a request will have very little impact on He Chen, and it is very easy. Even if He Chen only makes online stories one step slower than physical publishing, the sales of booklets will be greatly improved. Those who have managed online novels are very grateful for this. Great grasp.

And this is also very beneficial to He Chen, as sales increase, He Chen's remuneration will naturally increase.

It's a pity that He Chen refused without hesitation. In terms of influence and speed of transmission, there is no carrier that can compare to the Internet. On the Internet, He Chen can also learn about people's views on the story for the first time, which makes it easier for him to adjust the rhythm of the comic.

Yi Tianxing keeps improving his books and writes very slowly. He always thinks about how to combine artistry and commerce to create in-depth and attractive works, but He Chen can't help him. The two discussed the plot, and He Chen also told Yi Tianxing about the various elements in his impression that could "heal" people's hearts.

...

One year goes by so fast, and it is December 25th, Christmas.

Although Tianman was not founded on this day, but the comics rose on this day, so He Chen made this day as Tianman's annual meeting.

All Tianman's employees, as well as its authors who signed contracts and put on shelves, were invited.

It's a pity that Yi Tianxing couldn't come, and He Chen still wanted a great writer to be his special guest to upgrade Tianman's annual meeting, so he had to give up.

But the location is still the old place, Tianman has booked the entire hotel, and the boss Nian who still has the charm is personally accompanying him.

"Hey, Ye Jun, you don't come here every time because you like the proprietress, right? I remember you have a wife? Ye Xiaoyu, this kind of thing can't be condoned, go back and tell your mother." He Chen teased Ye hansome.

Ye Xiaoyu said strangely: "Master, she is my mother."

"...Is she your mother?"

Ye Xiaoyu nodded, affirming He Chen's words again.

He Chen pinched Ye Jun's neck and shook violently: "Damn it, this is your hotel, and every time you eat, he will take the invoice to ask for financial reimbursement! Are you so cheating on your company? I want to detain you Salary, deduct your shares!"

"Damn, you didn't ask me! You think I'm willing to come, if I don't come here, I won't have the money to eat out!" Ye Jun struggled to break free from He Chen's hands and complained.

The proprietress quietly came over and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

"Ha! No, we're just discussing the company's plans." Ye Jun was sloppy.

"Mom, Dad said he didn't want to come here for dinner."

He Chen looked at the frank Ye Xiaoyu in surprise, and then looked at Ye Jun who was glanced at by the proprietress, who was sweating coldly, his eyes were full of sympathy and interrogation: Is this guy your own son?

"Mr. He..."

"Sister-in-law, they're all from my own family. What's your name is Mr. He? Just Xiao He." He Chen said politely. Considering his age, he was younger than Ye Xiaoyu, so he should have called the proprietress Auntie. But he and Ye Jun have always dealt with the same generation, calling him brother and brother, calling him aunt, isn't it just a generation lower than Ye Jun for no reason?

How could He Chen do such a thing? So he simply called her sister-in-law. Anyway, Ye Xiaoyu always called her master, and her seniority was lower than her. Judging from his appearance, she didn't care about such a relationship.

The proprietress smiled coquettishly, her son was older than He Chen, but he looked only thirty-five or sixteen. I really don't know if Ye Jun saved Yuelao's life in order to achieve such a marriage.

"Xiaohe, we have prepared Tianman's annual meeting as a top priority. Everything is of the highest standard. Feel free to ask for any requests. We will ensure that everyone is satisfied and comfortable."

"Thank you so much!" He Chen said gratefully.

After chatting for a while, the proprietress left, and He Chen said to Ye Jun, "Your wife is strict, I'm afraid you've used up all your life's blessings on your wife, right?"

"Don't laugh at me, with such a wife, you might not be as good as me!"

Of course, Tianman's annual meeting also has Tianman's characteristics. Tianman's employees are all dressed in cosplay costumes. If you scan around the venue, you can tell at a glance who is Tianman's employee, who is the waiter, and who is the contracted author. .

Even Ye Jun, who hadn't worn cosplay clothes last time, wore a new cosplay outfit this time.

"Ye Jun, I think you should cosplay Dr. Ali."

Ye Jun's stomach rose up as fast as Tianman's. Seeing a new one with a big belly, He Chen felt that his eyes had been raped.

Many of the contracted authors met He Chen for the first time, so from time to time someone ran over excitedly, asking He Chen for autographs and group photos, and then ran away happily.

Among them is the author of "9999 Ways to Die a Porter", named Tang Ou, a man in his thirties who seems to have been a screenwriter before.

"Master! Your comics are so creative, I like your comics very much, can you give me an autograph?"

Most people signed He Chen's book, but what he handed to He Chen was his own book - "9999 Ways to Die a Porter" was also published.

"Without you, I would not have seen another world, and this book would not have been born!"

"...Without you, I wouldn't have known that I might have died so badly." He Chen joked, Tang Ou scratched his head, He Chen signed it, handed it to him and said, "I hope you can create even more exciting works." story."

To He Chen's regret, the author he most wanted to see couldn't come to the annual meeting for a moment.

After the annual meeting was ready, He Chen stepped onto the stage and looked at the audience: they had old employees from Tiange; But everyone had the same twinkle in their eyes.

"Last year, at this time, "Pokemon" was hailed as a miracle in the handheld game world, and comics also entered people's field of vision for the first time!"

"This year, manga-adapted animations have appeared on TV, and single volumes have been released nationwide. The manga has been recognized by people!"

"Last year, there were only two comics, one called "Pokemon" and one called "Pokemon". The only comic website is Dmfun."

"This year, there are a total of 152 serialized comics on Dmfun! There are 6 comic sites on the Internet!"

"Last year, it was just me."

"This year, I have you, and the comics world has you!"

"This year belongs to Tianman."

"But I hope that next year belongs to the comics industry! I hope that each of you can create more exciting stories! I hope that each of you can surpass me!"
