Chapter 826
With 80% of the shares, Li Wenyuan is indeed a new rich man. Even though he is not as valuable as Lin Han, he is definitely among the best among writers.
"Since I'm talking about this, I'm considering making a comic version of the Fantasy Age. There are many works in our magazines that can be painted into comics. Nowadays, comic magazines are selling well. As long as we have good works, we don't have to worry about not being able to sell them!"
Tan Lin was very good at talking about these things, but Lin Han didn't know much about comics and so on. He just said: "Don't many comic magazines have gone bankrupt? Those well-known painters have signed contracts with magazines to a greater or lesser extent. We just made a bimonthly magazine, and now we are working on comics. Will it be too fast?"
Li Wenyuan also wants to develop a magazine, but he is full of confidence in Tan Lin, "Let's go and do it. At worst, you can lose some money. Now we have money!"
"Actually, we are just preparing for it now. If we want to publish a new magazine, it is normal to prepare for half a year. After all, if we need to obtain a publishing license, we need to find as many high-quality works as possible and promote them. The fastest time is 2019."
It is easy to fail if you open a new magazine in a hurry, just like the author prepares a new book. The success rate will definitely be higher if you prepare well!
"What are the monthly sales rankings of these original comic magazines now? I remember that my books have been adapted from comics, but I hardly read them seriously."
Lin Han's "Jurassic Park" was adapted into a bilingual Chinese and English comic. It was based on the dual productions of novels and movies. In fact, the sales volume was very average and it did not explode.
Tan Lin has learned these contents seriously. He has known the names in the newspaper as he knows. "Last month, "Zhiyin Manke" was still the big brother. It is a weekly magazine with the highest monthly circulation of more than 9 million copies, almost exceeding tens of millions. It is usually stable at five or six million copies. It is considered the first magazine of New China comics!"
Hearing this sales figure, Lin Han couldn't help but look at Tan Lin. He originally thought "Fantasy Age" was doing very well, but now it seems that it is still a big difference.
Moreover, science fiction adapted comics are not actually popular. Readers prefer science fiction movies and novels. For this type of comic, Japan's science fiction comic masters firmly occupy the market.
Of course, there are also many very good science fiction comics, but there are much fewer original science fiction comics in China. Anyway, Lin Han has hardly heard of them!
"The Dragon Man Boy Sunday, Comic Show, Comic Friends, Comic World, Comics, Comic Party, Comic Party, Comic Monthly, etc., all have good sales."
Lin Han spread his hands and said with a smile: "I don't know these things, so I'd just believe in professionals like you. I hope I can see the comics we published at the beginning of next year."
"By the way, some people suggest that our new magazine name is "Fantasy Comics". What do you think?"
Li Wenyuan took a sip of tea and said, "It's not bad. At least you can tell that you are next to our "Fantasy Age" at a glance, and it's a family."
"It's pretty good, it has a brand effect, and it's also a topic. The comics are basically fantasies!"
The three of them took a break from their busy schedule and hid in this remote and quiet teahouse chatting in the busy early June.
After Tan Lin finished talking about his important matters, he had time to gossip, "Lao Lin, isn't your new movie going to be released? Why do you often sneak out to find us, and you won't show me some promotion."
It's June 4th now, and there are only five days left before the official release of "The Matrix 2". Everyone outside is busy, but the producer, producer, director, screenwriter and original author hid it.
Lin Han couldn't help but sigh, "Don't mention it, those reporters have been squatting me all day recently. Yesterday I went to run and walk my dog, and a large group of people chased me with cameras, which made people who were exercising and walking their dogs for a long time complain about me. This morning I could only run in my own small gym and didn't dare to go out."
"You are a sweet trouble. How many people want to make the reporter paparazzi take pictures but no one pays attention to them. I guess it will be much better after the movie is released."
"I think you are causing trouble by yourself. It makes you mysterious. If you come forward to participate in an event by yourself, they will probably not be so cruel."
Li Wenyuan suggested that Yanjing in June had already started to get hot, but fortunately there was a pond next to the teahouse. When the breeze blew by, you could even smell the faint fragrance of lotus flowers.
Lin Han could only sigh and said, "I am fine myself, mainly because I am afraid that they will accidentally bump into my wife. I have hired her a female bodyguard and assistant, and the driver is afraid of an accident!"
Chen Jiaxuan, who is several months pregnant, is still out every day. Sometimes these reporters can easily cause some trouble in pursuit of news. If Chen Jiaxuan hadn't strongly opposed it, Lin Han would have planned to give Chen Jiaxuan four or five bodyguards.
The only female bodyguard was the result of Lin Han's persuasion, and she also held all the jobs alone.
"To be honest, I watched "The Matrix" on TV a few days ago. Now I can't wait to watch "The Matrix 2". Can't you open the back door for us and let us feel the shock in advance?"
Tan Lin rubbed his hands, "I can pretend to be a film critic and write articles for you without any pen replenishment fees!"
Lin Han picked up the folding fan on the table, unfolded it and fanned it casually.
"There will be a special film critic show tomorrow night, you can come and have a look. I will take you in at that time, that's always interesting! We are still watching imax-3d, and if the screen is small, you won't be able to experience the shocking audio-visual experience at all."
"Okay, I decided so happily. Can I bring a few more people?" Tan Lin said with a finger, "Your sister-in-law and your nephew both want to see it. I need three tickets here."
"No problem, how many mosquitoes do you need?" Lin Han turned his head and asked. For him, it doesn't matter how many more people you have!
Li Wenyuan smiled, "It's enough for me and my wife. Niu Niu will send her to her grandma's house and have a date with her. I haven't been to the cinema together for a long time and miss her."
"I will forward it to you after asking about the time and place. Remember to contribute a few box offices to me when I can!"
...
With the hot weather, the annual summer season has slowly begun.
Faced with the surging summer season, some media directly used the word "tragic" when predicting it, and all film production companies and distribution companies were fighting hard!
The melee of more than fifty movies of various types, the fierce competition and the fierce fighting can indeed be called tragic.
In the past five months of 2018, the film market has encountered a cold wave, and the growth rate of the domestic box office market has not only slowed down, but has even declined.
Many blockbusters have failed, pouring cold water on the rapid development of the film industry. There are almost no big movies. Whether it is domestic movies or Hollywood works, they are bad movies. The popular big IP, young and youth-themed movies seem to be no longer effective this year!
The entire industry is waiting for the summer vacation to save the world, but judging from the current situation, except for the more popular "The Matrix 2", the popularity of the other blockbusters is not very ideal.
Among the several movies released on June 1, the cartoon "Tanger" from Hollywood has a very good reputation, but the theme song is relatively popular. Its first-day box office was only 50 million, and it was difficult to win the box office championship that day.
Several other movies "Chinese Salesman" are basically cannon fodder, and everyone knows that the highlight is still far from being launched.
Among so many movies, the only one that may have an impact on Lin Han’s new film is the new movie "The Romance of the Gods" released on June 5. The story of this movie is almost familiar to everyone. King Wu defeated Zhou, and all kinds of gods gathered together.
The cast is extremely luxurious, with seven or eight first-line stars participating, and almost every character can be named!
"The Romance of the Gods", which was built with 300 million yuan, is currently very popular and its advertisements can be seen everywhere. Some people even revealed that the movie has a guaranteed box office of 1 billion yuan, which shows the publisher's confidence in it.
"The Matrix 2: Reloading" was chosen to be released on June 9 mainly to take care of the college entrance examination party. When their group of people ended, it will have a significant stimulation to the box office!
And that day happened to be Friday, the weekend began, which is very suitable for the release of a new movie.
However, in addition to "The Matrix 2", the Chinese and foreign co-production "Escape in Desperate" cannot be ignored!
The most famous star-killing Fanglong in China has joined forces with Hollywood comedy master Ben Stiller, plus domestic big actress Lin Ai, with three top stars with luxurious lineups. Moreover, this kung fu comedy type movie is also a popular type in the domestic audience.
Two Hollywood works, "Turkeys of the Ninja Turtles" and "Tarzan of the Apes: Return of the Jungle", will be released on June 12. If the Matrix 2 is in a bad trend, it is very likely that they will be cut off by the two of them in the middle!
Next, there will be many Hollywood movies such as "Spy Shadows 6" and "Minius 2" taking turns to be launched. New blockbusters will be released almost every week during the summer season. It is not easy to get the lead among so many movies.
Lin Han didn't shoot many movies. The movie "Immortality" performed a box office miracle due to its good reputation during the Spring Festival, while "The Matrix" was upgraded to the New Year holiday to set a new record for the overseas box office of Chinese movies and a new global box office record.
This time, he joined the summer melee, not to be a cannon fodder, but to dominate real guns and real ammunition!
Which box office overlord didn’t climb up by trampling on a bunch of competitors’ bodies?
