"Of course you are doing what you are best at." Liu Miao responded with a smile.

Liu Miao is very clear that as a culture, the popularity of animation cannot be separated from the support of comic exhibitions, fan exhibitions and cosplay performances.It can even be said that without the complementarity of doujin culture, animation may not become a cultural existence that can affect human beings.In the eyes of others, Tan Yaohua seems to be a bit incompetent, but in Liu Miao's view, Tan Yaohua's greatest ability is knowing how to use his own resources to maximize benefits, and at the same time put the right people in the right position .Therefore, if it was in ancient times, Tan Yaohua was definitely a failed general or soldier, but he was definitely a successful marshal.The reason why Liu Miao wanted to attract Tan Yaohua to join the Binghuo Comic Club was to create a large-scale comic exhibition in Tanzhou.

Although Tanzhou is not as good as Yanjing, Nanhua, and Dongfang, Tanzhou is located in the crossroads of China and has strong local media resources. Therefore, once a market is established, more people will naturally join in.And Liu Miao has never thought of eating alone. Only when comic exhibitions bloom everywhere, his comic weekly will usher in a real spring.What Liu Miao wants is to make Tanzhou's comic exhibition a benchmark, to avoid the inflow of some bad content from later comic exhibitions.

In Liu Miao's view, too much sex.The implantation of love culture has officially led to the fundamental reason why comic exhibitions are gradually viewed with colored glasses.Although there are many colors.Erotic comics fans claim that Japan is the same, but in Japan, the real manga exhibition for all ages completely rejects sex.Even if it’s a borderline content, pornographic content enters; although there are a few “only for adult” comic exhibitions in Japan, they are very concealed, and there is an age limit for people entering the venue, and related products must be packaged in opaque plastic bags.It's a pity that many people in China only see that other people have such freedom, but they don't see so many restrictions on this freedom.In Liu Miao's idea, the comic exhibition must strictly prohibit "adult-oriented" content from entering the venue, and the content of borderline balls must also be strictly controlled.

Liu Miao cannot be blamed for being cautious, because in the domestic environment, the more minority the culture, the stricter the moral constraints.Movies can shoot content such as "A Pear Blossom Pressing Begonia" and "Soldier and Boy", but if comics should be involved, it must be the end of being interviewed by the state machine.Therefore, Liu Miao simply cut off such content fundamentally, so as not to be implicated in the future.

While Liu Miao was thinking, she told Tan Yaohua about her idea for the comic exhibition. A complete comic exhibition should naturally include the exhibition of comic works, the sharing of fans and derivative works, cosplay performances, and the sale of related peripherals.After all, this is a complete industrial chain. Comics can be adapted into animations, and the tv version can sell dvds while broadcasting on the TV network; while the ova and theater versions can sell dvds after they are released... Except for comics In addition to mutual adaptations with animation, there are also mutual adaptations between manga and light novels.In addition to these obvious copyright adaptations, game adaptations, stage play adaptations, radio play adaptations, live-action adaptations, figures, authorized products...

After Liu Miao said so much copyright development content without changing his face, everyone was shocked to realize that the Youth Club was an inexhaustible treasure.

"Wow! In a few years, you, Liu Miao, might be able to enter the "Forbes" list of young rich people under the age of 40, right?" Tan Yaohua immediately estimated the size of Liu Miao's current assets, "It doesn't matter, my family has From the toy company, quickly authorize all the copyrighted works of your youth club. Tsk tsk, brother Liu, if you don’t have a little money, I’ll have nothing to worry about in my next life!”

"You're really smart!" Liu Miao patted Tan Yaohua's head with her hands.

Don't look at everyone saying that Tan Yaohua is a playboy, but people know that they have acquired the relevant copyrights of Liu Miao's authorized products at this time, and they know that they still have business vision.

"Let me just say it, I won't authorize any products in the last three years." Of course Liu Miao knows that only limited quantities are valuable, and the direct comparison is Marvel and Disney.

Disney firmly holds the licensed products in its hands. As a result, it doesn’t matter how much other industries lose money. The three words of Disney are enough to bring countless dollars to Disney.On the other hand, Marvel is sending licenses everywhere, and in the end the Avengers can't get it together. If it wasn't acquired by Disney, the live-action movie of the Avengers might be a dream.Even so, the three parts of X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man still cannot be integrated into the main line of the Avengers.In particular, Spider-Man is the No.3 popular character in the history of American animation (the champion and runner-up are Superman and Batman respectively).

"I will not authorize the production of core products such as toys, but other derivative products. Do you have a clothing factory or a stationery factory? I can authorize you to use the image rights of the works of the Youth Club. By the way , if you are really that interested in toys, let's build a joint venture factory, and I will guarantee that you will have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life."

After Liu Miao parted ways with Tan Yaohua and the others, she really conceived a promotion plan for Binghuo Comic Club.In Liu Miao's view, it is simply too difficult for a comic agency to run a magazine.After all, the threshold for a comic author is much higher than that of a novel author. A good comic author must not only have the ability to write scripts, but also have the sense of shooting like a film director and editor, and the most important thing is to be able to draw.

In Japan's mature manga system in later generations, the work of text writers and manga artists is separated. Do you think that Takeshi Obata's works have special text scripts?Even if there is no dedicated text screenwriter, the cartoonist and editor usually discuss the outline and then refine the plot with their assistants. In the end, the cartoonist is only responsible for character setting, and the composition of shots, effect rendering and dialogue are all handed over to the assistants. to finish.Basically, a cartoonist has at least five comic assistants around him, not including those assistants who put on the omentum and fix the white.This is also one of the reasons why Japanese manga works are expensive. After all, people have a studio to support.

This kind of team also provides a steady stream of follow-up talents for the Japanese manga industry. A manga artist starts as a handyman who retouches pictures, becomes a core assistant, and finally flies solo to become a real manga artist. This almost always becomes a collection of Japanese manga. A standard example.Therefore, a comic club can publish at most one quarterly magazine, and then it is not a comic quarterly magazine, but a picture book quarterly magazine.

So Liu Miao felt that it would be better to do some more meaningful activities than competing in magazines, so Liu Miao thought of doing a cosplay fan exhibition in the fall, and then a larger-scale comic exhibition in the spring.Of course, at present, I am afraid that it can only be done in conjunction with the major high schools and universities in Tanzhou, but it may not be certain in the future.Autumn is mainly aimed at the public, so cosplay is used to attract a broad audience; spring is aimed at core users, so there are more comics and fan works exhibitions.

It took about a week before Liu Miao handed over the plan.Binghuo Comic Club was a little scared by Liu Miao's bold idea. There might be some money for magazines, but for comic exhibitions and cosplay stage shows, it would cost a lot of money.Even if Binghuo Comic Club has the title of top ten clubs, it still can't spend that much money.

Hearing the difficulties of Binghuo Comics Club, Liu Miao said with a smile: "If the comics club is short of money, then leave it to me. I will solve the money problem, but you must also help me connect Tanzhou as much as possible. All the manga clubs. I don't want to spend money just to have fun."

The thin and tall young man, Zheng Yi, the president of the comic club, looked at Liu Miao with some doubts, "Actually, what I want to know is, what can you get? Don't tell me that you love comics and want to support us. We are all smart people. Sometimes it is most convenient to talk about interests.”

The corners of Liu Miao's lips curled up. The president is indeed a smart person, and Liu Miao likes doing business with smart people the most. "Of course I do the animation festival for my comic magazine "Sunday". I want to let more people pay attention to works like comics, so what is better than doing an animation festival? The spring animation festival is mainly for the industry. For the core users, it mainly focuses on comics and peripheral products. The scale does not need to be too large, but the grade must go up; the autumn animation festival is aimed at all users, and fan works and cosplay can be added at that time, turning it into an animation carnival Yes. Since I want the right to host, then everything is subject to my words, and you must cooperate with me. If there is a surplus from joining, I will hand over 20% to you."

"40%." Zheng Yi immediately asked to increase the distribution ratio, "Without us, it would be difficult for you to gather so many people."

"President Zheng, you don't spend any money, and participate in dividends with zero risk. How dare you ask for such a high percentage?" Liu Miao looked at Zheng Yi slightly mockingly, "You can also ask for a percentage of [-]%, then You have to pay at least [-]% of the cost of the animation festival, otherwise it will only be [-]%. Although I really hope to cooperate with the school club, the animation club is not exclusive to our school. Doesn’t the carp club also have a comic branch, maybe it’s more worthwhile What about cooperation?"

"Okay, I agree with your agreement." Zheng Yi finally compromised, "But I want to share the trademark rights of the comic festival, and at the same time, the agreement is signed every three years, and you have the right of first priority and the right of refusal. How?"

"President Zheng Da, empty-handed white wolves don't play like this. The trademark rights belong to us exclusively, but you can get 10% of the future profits. There is no problem with signing every three years. If you agree, I call it a lawyer to prepare for the relevant issues." document."

After thinking for a while, Zheng Yi finally agreed to all of Liu Miao's requests.After signing the relevant agreement, the final exam of Tanzhou No. [-] Middle School also started.The students in the experimental class naturally don't want to fall behind, especially if they rank lower than the students in the ordinary class in the whole school, they will be verbally warned by the head teacher.After two reprimands, he will be demoted to the normal class, which can be said to be the cruelest punishment in the experimental class.

However, neither Liu Miao nor Liu Yan seemed to be under too much pressure, and they were still preparing for the exam step by step.Liu Miao, who has taken the college entrance examination twice, of course knows how to revise with the least effort. At the same time, she also has a lot of experience in which supplementary materials are the most effective.These experiences have been greatly improved after the personal evaluation by Liu Yan and Zhang Yao.For example, in the selection of teaching supplementary materials, "Wang Houxiong Xue Case" is used for preview, while "Two-color Notes" is used for class, and "Three Points and One Test" is used for review after class.As for the "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation", it was prepared in advance and used to pass the time after school.And Liu Miao's method of taking notes and accumulating wrong question sets became popular in Liu Miao's small circle.
