Be a superstar with the system

Chapter 840 Out of date?
Gong Nan Bei didn't read such things as comics in his last life, and he didn't have the money to buy them. He just gave some ideas to the comics department and asked them to draw according to the ideas they gave.

Gong Nanbei read it very seriously, the comic book is not thick, and soon Gong Nanbei finished the first volume.

The story told in the first book is that the hero is a weapon group tycoon who was kidnapped by KB elements for ransom and asked to help them make weapons.

The male protagonist created the first steel armor under extremely harsh conditions!
Just like in the previous life, because he was hit by shrapnel, he was replaced with an energy heart, which is also the source of his strength.

After reading the first volume, Gong Nanbei was very puzzled. Whether it was the plot or the comic style, the frame was very good. How could this kind of comic not sell?Is it a matter of publicity?
The other Wang Wangjiao also finished watching "Spider-Man". After the two looked at each other, Wang Wangjiao asked suspiciously, "How is yours?"

"I can't fault it"

"Me too, it looks good."

The two became even more puzzled, and they read the second book one after another. After a while, the second book was also finished.

Gong Nanbei frowned again, this second book looks really good too!
Looking at Wang Wangjiao's expression, obviously he should be good too, so what is the problem?
After reading all three volumes, the two of them didn't find anything wrong.

"The painting style, quality, and plot are all good. How could there be no sales?"

Wang Wangjiao was also a little puzzled and said, "That's right."

"What about those small countries?"

"Of course it's popular in those small countries, but the best-selling comics are those after the comics"

Gong Nanbei nodded slowly, then rang the calling bell again, and after waiting for Zhao Dezhu to come in, Gong Nanbei spoke directly.

"Dezhu, go and inform the managers of the Propaganda Department, Marketing Department, and Sales Department to come to see me. If the manager is not here, find the supervisor. At least one person from each department will come."

"Hey"

Zhao Dezhu agreed, and Gong Nanbei pointed to the sofa in the office and said, "Wait a minute, ask the sales department of the marketing department."

Wang Wangjiao nodded, picked up "Iron Man" in Gong Nanbei's hand, walked to the sofa and sat down, and watched it quietly.

Not long after, the managers of the three departments all arrived at Gongnanbei's office.

Gong Nanbei and Wang Wangjiao sat together, stretched out his hand towards the three of them, and motioned for the three of them to sit opposite. After the three sat down, Gong Nanbei first looked at the manager of the sales department and asked, "Iron Man" And sales of Spider-Man are sluggish?"

The manager of the sales department was somewhat nervous, nodded slowly and said: "Yes, Mr. Gong, the comics of the superhero series are not doing well."

"Tell me about the sales volume, and compare it with the highest sales volume of comics in the same period!"

"Yes, our current best-selling comic is "Various Beastmaster", whose sales are more than 70 times that of hero comics such as "Iron Man""

Gong Nanbei gasped after hearing this, more than 70 times?This is just like a joke!
Gong Nanbei turned his head to look at the marketing department and asked, "Why is "Various Beastmaster" so popular?"

The manager of the marketing department pushed his eyes and said: "Because of the buyers, the main buyers of our comics in Huaxia are nine to 15 years old, and children in that age group are more inclined to transform into animals."

"We have done two surveys before. Hero comics are a bit outdated. The reason why they sell better abroad is that we almost only sell them in some small countries, and they don't have other comics to choose from."

"We have also thought about improving it, and finally thought that the best way to increase sales is to change the manga! But after a meeting, we thought it was not worthwhile to change the manga, because the sales and popularity of these comics are not even before the manga department. Twenty people can't get in!"

"If we have this resource, we can definitely invest in "Various Beastmaster", which will create more profits for our company."

Gong Nanbei understood it as soon as he heard it. This is like adapting a novel into a film and television work in front of him. If you don't change the popular IP, change it to hit the street?
But he just couldn't figure it out, how could superhero comics not be popular?
Gong Nanbei looked at the Propaganda Department and asked, "What do you think?"

The manager of the publicity department said: "Mr. Gong, our usual promotion of comics can only be said to be average, that is, we will promote some on some websites and sales networks."

Gong Nanbei nodded. After all, comics are a minority now, and they are incomparable with movies, songs, etc., and the focus of publicity must not be on this aspect.

"What about the fiction department?"

"The development of the novel department is fairly stable. We also don't have too much publicity. We just made some small advertisements on some browsers and search engines."

"Now we are creating two phenomenal novels, one of which is a good historical drama, and we will change it into a film and television work in the later stage of research"

After hearing this, Gong Nanbei nodded again. After talking with the three departments, Gong Nanbei knew why the sales of "Iron Man" and so on were not good.

Because they are outdated!
Gong Nanbei is 33 this year, and "Iron Man" and "Spiderman" are things that he only likes at his age. Now children are more inclined to that kind of simple and straightforward cartoons.

And people of his age, who are old and young, rarely have the opportunity to read comics, let alone buy them.

Gong Nanbei was lost in thought, and the others did not dare to speak.

There was only the sound of Wang Wangjiao turning the pages of the book, and it took three to four minutes for Harem Nanbei to speak.

"I'm quite optimistic about these series. According to my previous idea, first try to make comics as popular as possible, let everyone know that there is such a movie, and then start to change the comics into film and television."

Hearing what Gong Nanbei said, several other people paid attention to it.

Gong Nanbei continued: "To tell you the truth, I want to create a huge world of heroes. This will be our company's new five-year plan after the "Resident Evil" series and "The Matrix" series!"

The three managers were a little uneasy when they heard this. No one knows better than the three of them how successful these two series are, and now these two street comics are actually a five-year plan for the future?

The three looked at each other, and finally the manager of the marketing department said: "Mr. Gong, considering the current market environment, I don't think this is a good decision."

The manager of the publicity department rubbed his temples and said, "Mr. Gong, if possible, we can invest some money in it first, change the manga into an animation, and test it on a small scale first."

Gong Nanbei looked at the sales department at the end again, the sales department thought for a while and said: "I think the same as the marketing department, just in terms of comics, we have more themes suitable for manga adaptations"

But Wang Wangjiao threw down the comic book and said, "Listen to Mr. Gong, go back and discuss with the comic department. I want to see the manga adaptation within a month!"

The three of them said yes without any nonsense.
