I walk the career line in dog blood

On the first day of sales of the two magazines, there was a gap. People from "Painting Friends" kept calling to ask for replenishment, but "International Pictorial" gradually showed signs of decline. By the afternoon, it was basically unable to sell.

"Old readers are buying it. New readers, if they are not interested, put it down and leave."

The owner of the newsstand talked to An Yinong, and greeted him: "I don't like this book, do you want to read something else? The best-selling book today is "Painting Friends". I don't know what happened, There are so many people who come to ask today, I have replenished the goods twice."

This is the power of being in the newspapers and getting out of the circle. Both "Huayou" and "International Pictorial" have entered the public eye, but whether they can keep this surprise depends on whether the magazine can keep people.

An Yinong randomly picked two books to check out.

The boss looked at him while looking for money: "Why do I think you look familiar?"

"The public face."

He picked up the two magazines and left. It took a long time for the newsstand owner to remember: "Hey, isn't he on the cover of a certain issue of a travel magazine?"

In the evening, Xie Jiu, who always liked to work overtime, left work on time today. The housekeeper said that Mr. He next door had brought half a roast goose.

"He went out today?" Xie Jiu was thinking whether he should buy the roast goose restaurant or sign the owner.

"I see his family's car drove out this morning." said the housekeeper.

"Really?" Xie Jiu took off his coat, and he walked upstairs, where the parrot 'Xie Xie' was standing there bored looking at the world outside the window.

"Do you miss him too?"

He thought for a while, picked up the black gold-edged pen on the table, and took out a small note for communication.

"I received a gift from Little H. Is this your favorite Luo Ji Roast Goose?——X"

An Yinong, who was drawing comics, was a little surprised that "thank you" came, he took out the nut plate, and while feeding "thank you", he smiled while looking at the small note.

Now he has a full clay pot for these little notes.After confirming that Xie Jiu was the husband, all the little notes had a special meaning.

"I want to share everything I like with you, do you like it?——H"

Seeing the letter sent back by 'Thank you', Xie Jiu's heart was pounding.Are young people nowadays so direct and passionate?

Xie Jiu knew that the child had no other intentions, but just wanted to share happiness with his good friends, but he couldn't help but think about it.

"I like it, I like it very much."

The next morning, the sales volume of comic magazines for the day yesterday had already come out, and "Huayou" was twice as much as "International Pictorial".

"So, Gu Pan is sure to win?"

"No," someone who knew Paul Lee shook his head, "This person will not admit defeat so easily, let alone an upright person, maybe he will use some other tricks."

What these people expected was right. On the second and third day, a lot of overseas orders suddenly came in, buying hundreds or thousands of copies of Paul Lee's comic magazines.

It turned out that Paul Lee found himself at a disadvantage and immediately mobilized his overseas connections.

He ambiguously characterized this incident as "traditional and conservative Chinese are unwilling to accept the new world and new concepts, and are still stuck in the dream of a heavenly kingdom. At this time, they ganged up to bully him, a Chinese who returned from overseas."

Overseas Chinese and Meika people were encouraged and specially spent money to help the scene.

"mean!"

"It can't be said to be despicable. He has indeed gained a reputation overseas, so he has some readers outside. These readers are also readers. In addition, "International Pictorial" originally had an overseas English version, and there are also some loyal readers of the magazine. Now These people were mobilized, and it cannot be said that he was wrong."

"It seems that Gu Pan is in danger. "Painting Friends" magazine can't help, and he himself is a newcomer."

People in the industry began to look down on Gu Pan and "Painting Friends" again, but after a day, the trend changed again, and "Painting Friends" also received a lot of overseas orders. Moreover, this small comic magazine publishing house did not know when Also came up with an overseas English version.

"When did this happen? No, why did overseas people know about this magazine and even order it?"

Everyone was puzzled, only felt that this battle was a bit beyond their understanding, and they couldn't understand it.

Fortunately, a reporter has been following this incident. This person quickly figured out the cause and effect, and published what he investigated in the newspaper.

Only then did other people know that when Paul Lee mobilized readers overseas, the English version of "Girl of the Spirit" appeared overseas.

At the same time when Paul Lee was complaining, well-known overseas newspapers and television advertisements claimed that this was a newcomer cartoon that almost drove Paul Lee out of Hong Kong and made him complain to others without dignity.

It is brutally oppressed by macho Paul Lee because of its female protagonist.But the readers of Hong Kong City have proved with facts that they don't care whether the protagonist is a man or a woman, they only care whether the work is good-looking or not.

However, Paul Lee refused to let it go, and he wanted to spread rumors to make trouble.Now, the rookie cartoonist challenges old-fashioned macho Paul Lee, with the loser receiving the harshest of punishments.

Good guy, Paul Lee called Gu Pan a racist, and Gu Pan said he was sexist. This wave is a tie between magic weapons and magic weapons.

This publicity attracted a wave of curious foreigners, who bought "The Girl of the Soul ([-])".

The style of "The Girl of the Soul" is relaxed and passionate, and it is easy to understand in a different language environment, so these curious people really started to watch it, and watched it very happily, until the end, at the critical moment, suddenly and stop.

"What's next? What's next?" Overseas readers uttered the same painful cry as domestic readers.

Therefore, in order to continue to read the follow-up, these people placed an order for the overseas version of "Painting Friends" according to the address on the comic book.Some bookstores saw business opportunities and directly ordered hundreds of copies.

This is the truth behind the sudden increase of so many overseas orders for "Painting Friends".

"Gongcheng comics are not acclimatized when they come out of Hong Kong? People in Melika won't take a look at them? If you don't have the skills, don't blame the society. I'm different from you."

When Gu Pan's words appeared in the newspaper, he was going to piss Paul Lee off.

"It is said that newspapers in more than a dozen overseas states have advertised. It is a big deal, and it must have cost a lot of money."

"But it works. If you can get the same effect for that kind of money, I don't see a lot of magazine publishers stingy with it."

"That's right. Gu Pan and "The Girl of the Soul" have also gone abroad. Is he the No. 1 cartoonist of the new generation?"

"You forgot 'Enon'? It's hard to say who is No.1."

"The classical style of agricultural painting is too strong, so it is only suitable for painting martial arts subjects. After all, Gu Pan is a man, so he can only paint this kind of adventurous female subjects. They each have their own limitations."

Cartoonists are talking about it.

The manga magazine is targeting the top executives of "Painting Friends".

"The new president of "Painting Friends" has long expected that Paul Lee and the others will use foreign resources, right? He even took the opportunity to step on Paul Lee and "International Pictorial" to promote himself, and launched the overseas edition of "Painting Friends". Really No omissions."

Cartoonists are just pawns, and the real big winner is the chess player hidden behind the pawns, that is, the new president of "Painting Friends"!

The new president of "Painting Friends": ...you may not believe it, it was arranged by my 16-year-old boss.He invested the money, he made the plan, and I just executed it.

The president of "International Pictorial" said: Hehe, I don't believe it.

"He turned around and sucked blood on us?"

The president of "International Pictorial" was almost pissed off. It took him so many years to open up foreign markets and let Hong Kong City Comics enter foreign comic circles.Unexpectedly, this fledgling "Painting Friends" actually stepped on them and went abroad?

The president of "International Pictorial", who had just been held accountable by the board directors, was so angry that he couldn't eat.

There are only two days left in the gambling fight, and there is still a big gap between Paul Lee and Gu Pan's magazine sales. Even if Da Luo Jinxian comes, there is no way to reverse this result, unless they falsify the data.But with so many people staring at it, it is difficult to falsify the data.

Thinking about it carefully, the general situation is gone.

Because of its overseas edition, "International Pictorial" has always felt that it is a comic magazine that takes the international route, and has a high standard.Is it going to be counterattacked by a broken magazine that almost went bankrupt today?

The president looked at the data, his heart was on fire, and he felt extremely tormented.

Sure enough, there were no surprises after that.

When the result of the competition came out, Paul Lee lost face. Although he was not asked to quit the Hong Kong City comic circle, once it was published in the newspaper, he would not be able to get along.

Those who paid attention to this matter were all smiling and waiting for Paul Lee to call him dad, but no one thought that Paul Lee could not afford to lose so much, so he flew out of the country that day, leaving "International Pictorial" to face criticism.

This incident surprised everyone, and An Yinong's class was also discussing this incident.

Those who read comics, and those who don't, are talking about the bet and Paul Lee's escape.

Zhao Gang, who used to like Paul Lee very much, was so angry that he turned black. He thought Paul Lee was a coward who couldn't afford to lose.

As a fan of Paul Lee's book, he is even more angry than a fan of 'Gu Pan'.

"I called on a lot of people to support 'Paul Lee'. Although I lost, I am a man, and I have to lose frankly. This bastard actually escaped? He has lost all of us who are book fans." face."

"That's right, Gu Pan is finally about to reap the fruits of victory, but this son of a bitch has escaped?"

Zhang Wei was filled with righteous indignation. I really don't know when he switched to "The Girl of the Soul" again. Didn't he say that only "The Legend of the Desert Heroes" is true love?

"I think 'Yinong' and 'Gu Pan' may be good buddies, so I definitely want to be the buddy of 'Yinong'." Zhang Wei said.

"Isn't it because "Girl of the Spirit" is also very good-looking?"

Zhang Wei blushed: "Yes, there is also this part of the reason."

"Then do you think 'Yinong' is better or 'Gu Pan' is better?" A classmate asked a malicious question, "Many newspapers are discussing who is this year's dark horse and who has the greatest potential."

"There is still this in the newspaper? Are you lying to me?" Zhang Wei was suspicious, he didn't want to answer this kind of question.

"Why are you lying to me? Some people even made a bet to see who will be No.1 in the annual selection."

A few students were curious, and gathered around to discuss with each other: "I think Gu Pan is amazing, he can drive Paul Lee back to Meika."

"But Yinong's comics are a few months earlier, so it's hard to say."

Some of the students supported 'Yinong' and some supported 'Gu Pan', and they almost quarreled.

The aftermath of this gambling incident did not subside with Paul Lee's departure, but was known by more people because of his departure.

The incident of Paul Lee's escape was dubbed by the Hong Kong media as "defeating Hong Kong City", and "Gu Pan" became famous because of this. Although he is only a newcomer cartoonist, his reputation is bigger than that of cartoonists who have been drawing for several years.

The martial arts circle who was accused by Paul Lee before was elated. Although "The Girl of the Spirit" is not about martial arts, as the heir to the martial arts gym, the protagonist Su Xue has practiced martial arts since childhood, and Gu Pan can be seen in the fighting scenes in "The Girl of the Spirit" Have a deep understanding of Chinese martial arts.

Such a comic with strong "martial arts color" can go abroad and be accepted by foreign readers. It can be seen that martial arts comics have great potential.

In fact, people in the Hong Kong comic circle are still very happy. There are local cartoonists who are exploring overseas markets, which will be of great benefit to them in the future to develop overseas readers along this road.So now when talking about 'Gu Pan' and "Painting Friends", everyone can only praise, but for "International Pictorial"...

"Damn Paul Lee, he agreed to the gambling by himself, but now it's on my head?" The president of "International Pictorial" was furious in the office.

Both sides of the fight, one escaped, and the other generously stopped pursuing the matter, but who knew that the onlookers would not let go, and they couldn't find Paul Lee, so they asked him, the president of "International Pictorial", to do it. an explanation.

Isn't this messing around? What does this have to do with him?Also explain?

And that damn "Painting Friends" president is there to stir up trouble, this time, he is the one who benefits the most!

"Wouldn't it be that he planned to challenge Paul Lee? It's really cunning."

The 'old and cunning' president of "Painting Friends" sneezed. He was watching the new overseas version of "Desert Heroes: Ghost City" at the printing factory.

If classical comics want to be popularized, a good translator must be found, so he hired a few translators with a high salary to translate and correct them together. The president has read it and retained [-]% of the original flavor, which is very good.Because some things are just too difficult to translate.

"As soon as this matter is over, the results will be sent overseas, and this booklet will be published."

In fact, the president himself murmured to himself that other people's 16 years old and his own 16 years old don't seem to be the same age group.

He was still in school at the age of 16, worrying about his studies every day and why the girl in the class next door was so rude to him.As for the 16-year-old Little Boss, he already knows how to turn danger into opportunity and push the comic magazine publishing house to the international market.

The only thing he doesn't understand is why the small boss pays the author so much, even if he gives the domestic copyright, the copyright of the translated version hired by the publishing house is still the original author's, and the income is also paid according to the previous ratio.

"Probably to retain excellent authors? After all, for publishing houses, these cartoonists are the most important resources." He thought.

"Magazine serialization, single volume, overseas publishing." An Yinong ticked off overseas publishing, and the next step is animation and film and television.

"Things can go so smoothly, I really have to thank Mr. Paul Li for his generosity."
