Chapter 160 Layout of the comic industry

In fact, Anli had already had the idea of ​​starting a comic magazine when his sister obtained so much manuscript expenses through comics. After all, this is the pillar cultural industry of Greater China. It not only has comics, but also adaptations of other derivative comic works, such as the most directly related animations, games, movies, TV series, etc., and works like "eva" also have its figures and toys income.

Therefore, in a sense, comics are the best in the pan-entertainment industry. Since Anli wants to build his and his sister's media empire, he certainly cannot give up this important puzzle.

After acquiring a publishing house and using his sister's works to successfully create good benefits, he set his mind on comics and magazines.

He certainly did not have the patience to let Anli create a magazine like Ou He. After all, he was not a famous writer with a slightly idealism like Ou He, but a very realistic capitalist. He cared about the benefits brought to him by comic magazines, and the long-term benefits.

Since my sister's martial arts comics such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" have once again pushed the theme of martial arts to its peak, which has led to more martial arts comics and magazines emerging like mushrooms after a rain, obviously just to make a fortune.

But An Li did not limit his attention to martial arts comics. He believed that martial arts comics with extremely single elements would sooner or later decline. He felt that passionate martial arts comics could be classified as youth comics or youth comics.

So Anli focused on romance comic magazines. In fact, romance comic magazines have not sold low sales, and there are very rich types, because for female cartoonists, in any context, they can let the characters in their works talk about love.

Romance comics are also easier to adapt into TV series and movies...

But it is because of the glory of martial arts comics that the light of romance comics has been covered up a lot. But An Li was attracted to this type of comics alone.

He was interested in this type of comics, but he did not make a conclusion out of thin air, but rather the conclusion that he came to through which comics are more popular among the original comic websites of his company, "You Yaoqi" under his company.

Among this original comic website, at the beginning, many authors actually chose the most popular martial arts comics on the market, but of course they were defeated.

In physical comic magazines, there are giant-level martial arts comic magazines such as "The Kingdom of Martial Arts". The top martial arts comics in the world are serialized on it. Who can see the shoddy martial arts comics you have on the Internet?

Therefore, among the online painters, only the most decisive painters have fought against the theme of martial arts, while other painters have changed their genres one after another, which has made the original comic websites bloom in a timely manner, with the best performances. In addition to Anna's already defiant "eva", there are several very silly and sweet girl comics.

The authors of these young girl comics are actually those "failed" cartoonists who have repeatedly contributed to romance comics but are not adopted, because their works are not the mainstream of romance comics. The mainstream romance comics now are the most tortuous and moving romance, mainly tragedy and abusive love. These cartoonists have their styles that are naturally relaxed and joyful.

There is no chance to serialize it in physical magazines. But they have become little gods on the original website of Yaoqi, and their monthly royalties are very considerable.

An Li felt that just letting these excellent girl comics be serialized on the Internet was a waste of resources. After all, physical comics and magazines are still mainstream now, so he chose to acquire the magazine "Love House".

This is just a three-line romance magazine with a sales volume of just over one million copies. Its style is actually very alternative. You only need to read the magazine's Taizhu Izumi Eiyue to know what style it is.

It is the kind of more joyful and funny magazine that has less romance content. Its name is "Love House", but in fact the comics in it do not have much love, but mostly funny comics. It is a miracle that this magazine can develop into this way.

An Li was interested in this magazine because his sister had to buy it every issue. Then he sometimes looked through it and found that its style was very suitable for the popular girl comics that made his own websites. It was also serialized in such a physical magazine.

So he finally chose to acquire such a magazine, and hoped to use it as the starting point of comic magazines to gradually create a series of magazines to open up the boundaries between online comics and physical comics.

He felt that the name "Love House" was not good, so he directly asked Gu Ying, the female editor-in-chief of the magazine, to change it. However, Gu Ying disagreed and thought that this comic magazine finally made the name "Love House". How could it be changed just by saying that?

But Anli's will cannot be changed, and he has a trump card like his sister. He believes that his sister is the kind of top cartoonist who can support a magazine by one person. So what if he renamed "Love House"?

Therefore, "Love House" was changed to "Flowers and Dreams", and the genre must also correspond to the original comic website of You Yaoqi, namely Girls' Comics. In addition, there are You Yaoqi websites, Youth Comics, Danmei Comics, Adults/Manchesters, Picture Books. In addition to picture books, other categories of comics will create a corresponding physical magazine. Only the authors who rank first in the website are eligible to serialize them in physical magazines.

The so-called girl comics are women-oriented comics, which are not limited to romance, nor do they mean that comics must contain "girls".

This shows that the richness of the content of girl comics is actually far more abundant than that of romance comics, the former includes the latter.

"Can you really draw an orthodox girl comic with a girl as the protagonist?" An Li suddenly asked, because he found that his sister had painted so many comics and had never painted a girl comic in the strict sense. Even if "The Legend of Yue Girl" is the heroine A Qing, it should still belong to a martial arts comic in terms of classification.

"Brother, don't underestimate me. I will definitely not disappoint her if I can compete on the same stage with Teacher Quan Yingyue. And I will definitely turn "Flowers and Dreams" from a third-tier comic magazine to a first-tier comic magazine with sales of more than 10 million in one issue!" An Yi said confidently.

She decided to send a "healing" youth girl comic to her new and old readers first, the name is "The Summer Solstice Not Arrived", the original author - Guo Jingming. (To be continued.)
