Chapter 94 Annual Meeting

He Chen was busy with the assistant, and Liuyun and Phoenix Publishing House finally reported the sales of comic single-line books.

"Digimon" took advantage of the ending wave of craze, and the first single volume sold 700,000 copies in the first week; "Pokemon" sold 350,000 copies in the first week; and "Pokemon Special" sold 400,000 copies in the first week;

This surprised many people and felt unbelievable: a fan work actually defeated the original in physical sales.

For a long time, in terms of comics, everyone regards He Chen as an insurmountable peak, but "Pokemon Special" allows them to see hope and opportunity: as long as the story is good, nothing can be surpassed!

"If you want to say defeat, it is not considered defeat. Boss, didn't you give me a lot of advice to look back for a moment? In short, this book should be created by you two." Zhuang Bufan said to He Chen.

When he saw the world of "My Pokémon", when he discussed the plot with a moment of looking back, He Chen did reveal the content of a lot of special chapters, and then restored the original flavor of "Pokemon Special Chapter".

"The story is a moment of looking back, and I just gave some advice." He Chen did not take credit. On the contrary, he really wanted to see such a situation, which at least shows that everyone is buying comics not for his name, but is really enjoying comics.

"Only by surpassing can you make progress. I really hope that more and more people can surpass me."

The more people surpass his comics, the more classic comics He Chen can see, and there is nothing more popular with him than this.

"Young man, it's rare to have such a mentality." Yi Tianxing praised. His son did not come. This time he came to talk to He Chen on behalf of his son's Liuyun Publishing House, and continued to discuss with He Chen about his story for his grandson.

It is rare for others, but it is very ordinary for He Chen, because he himself knows that those stories were not created by him, so he never takes credit for it.

Due to Yi Tianxing, "Doraemon" has been purchased by major schools across the country. The story is interesting and popular among students. In addition, major merchants have ulterior motives to fuel the fire, resulting in the sales of the first book in the first week exceeding the 5 million mark. It was released in December this year, but it directly reached the second place in the annual cumulative sales ranking, and it was only more than 100,000 copies away from the first place.

"Tsk tsk, if your Doraemon is no longer serialized online, you may be able to win the annual sales first in one week." Yi Tianxing said that online serialization has a great impact on physical publishing. After all, except for those who only read physical books, only those who really like a certain book will buy it and collect it.

He Chen curled his lips and ignored it: "Stop talking. If I don't serialize it online, you will not see my comics, you will not make such remarks, and you will not follow the trend, and you will not be able to reach the current influence. I still believe it in the past 5 million copies. In the first week... don't you know how much water there is here?"

He Chen didn't know how many people here are really willing to collect "Doraemon" that was serialized for a short time, but he believed that in order to respond to the call of Yi Tianxing, the winner of the Novora Literature Award, the school must have contributed considerable strength to this sales in response to the call of Yi Tianxing, the winner of the Novora Literature Award.

Yi Tianxing smiled slightly: "No matter how many people see it, it will be sales after selling it. These are real and without any mixed feelings. Do you still think that you have too much money?"

"Volume! A great writer, look at the charity of money when you talk about money." He Chen said a few contempts.

Yi Tianxing was calm and composed: "What's the market? Your sales are not fake. Others buy your books, so there must be a reason to buy them - no matter whether they like it, school recommendations, or everyone buys them, so they can also mix them. Sales may not necessarily mean that your books are good books, but they can definitely mean that your books are very popular."

"Teacher He Chen, then do you want to give up serializing online? Or postpone the online serialization a little longer than the entity?" The people from Phoenix Publishing House made suggestions to He Chen. Between He Chen's current influence and his strength to discuss with Yi Tianxing, Phoenix Publishing House has also begun to call He Chen, a student who has not graduated, a teacher.

"Conan" was beyond He Chen's expectations. It was not very popular on the website, but physical sales were only slightly lower than "Digimon", which was full of animation completion trends: 640,000 yuan in the first week.

He Chen was extremely puzzled about this, guessing that it was because of the handsome and cool cover on the single book?

The website is serialized, He Chen only sets a cover for the book. The single-line book is for readers to collect, so He Chen also draws additional wonderful pictures that are not available on the website, as well as the color pages of each character appearing in the single-line book.

Phoenix Publishing House, who was originally willing to drink soup, did not expect to pick up a piece of fat meat, so he became interested and made such a suggestion to He Chen.

Such requirements have a very low impact on He Chen and are easy. Even if He Chen only makes online stories slower than physical publication, the sales of single-line books will be greatly improved. They who have operated online novels are very sure of this.

Moreover, this is also very beneficial to He Chen. As sales increase, He Chen's royalties will naturally increase.

Unfortunately, He Chen refused without hesitation. In terms of influence and speed of communication, no carrier can compare to the Internet. On the Internet, He Chen can also learn about some of everyone's views on the story as soon as possible, which can make it easier for him to adjust the rhythm of the comics.

Yi Tianxing is constantly striving for his book and writing very slowly. He always thinks about how to combine artistic and commerciality to create works that are profound and attractive, but He Chen can't help with this. The two discussed the plot, and He Chen also told Yi Tianxing about the various elements in his impression that he could "heal" people's hearts.

...

The year passed so fast, and it was another December 25th, Christmas.

Although Tianman was not founded on this day, the comics rose on this day, so He Chen used this day as Tianman's annual meeting.

All Tianman's employees and its contracted authors are invited.

Unfortunately, Yi Tianxing couldn't come. He Chen wanted the great writer to be his special guest to improve Tianman's annual meeting, so he had to give up.

The location is still an old place. Tianman has booked the entire hotel, and the boss Nian, who is still charming, is accompanying him.

"Hey, Ye Jun, you are not interested in this boss's wife and come here every time, right? I remember you don't have a wife? Ye Xiaoyu, you can't indulge in such things, go back and tell your mother." He Chen teased Ye Jun.

Ye Xiaoyu said strangely: "Master, she is my mother."

"…She is your mother?"

Ye Xiaoyu nodded and affirmed He Chen's words again.

He Chen pinched Ye Jun's neck and shook his head: "You're so bad, this is your hotel. Every time he eats, he will ask for financial reimbursement with an invoice! Is there anyone who cheated on his company like this? I want to deduct your salary and your shares!"

"Damn, you haven't asked me! Do you think I'm willing to come. If I don't come here, I won't have the money to go to the restaurant!" Ye Jun broke free from He Chen's hands and complained.

The boss lady came over quietly and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

"Ha! No, we're just discussing the company's plan." Ye Jun was careless.

"Mom, dad said he didn't want to come here for dinner."

He Chen looked at Ye Xiaoyu in surprise, and then looked at Ye Jun, who was glanced at by the boss's wife, who was sweating coldly. His eyes were filled with sympathy and interrogation: Is this guy your own son?

"Mr. He..."

"Sister-in-law, they are all from their own family. Just call Mr. He, Xiao He." He Chen said politely. According to his age, he was younger than Ye Xiaoyu and should have called the boss's wife an aunt. But he and Ye Jun have always been peers, calling him a brother and an aunt. Isn't it a generation lower than Ye Jun for no reason?

How could He Chen do such a thing? So he simply called him sister-in-law directly. Anyway, Ye Xiaoyu always called him his master, and his seniority is lower than that of him, so he wouldn't care about such a relationship, judging by his appearance.

The boss's wife chuckled, and her son was obviously older than He Chen, but she looked only thirty-five or sixty. I really don't know if Ye Jun saved Yue Lao's life and could only cultivate such a marriage.

"Xiao He, we have prepared Tianman's annual meeting as a top priority. Everything is the highest standard. We will make any requirements available later to ensure that everyone is satisfied and comfortable."

"That's really thankful!" He Chen said gratefully.

After chatting for a while, the boss's wife left, He Chen said to Ye Jun: "My wife is strict, you are afraid that your lifelong blessing will be used up on your wife, right?"

"Don't laugh at me. With such a wife, you might be worse than me!"

Of course, Tianman's annual meeting also has the characteristics of Tianman. Tianman's employees are all wearing Cos clothing. If you look around the venue, you can tell who is Tianman's employees, who is the waiter, and who is the contracted author at a glance.

Even Ye Jun, who had never worn a coswear last time, wore a new-sounding dress this time.

"Ye Jun, I think you should cope with Dr. Agasa."

Ye Jun's belly rose rapidly like Tianman. Seeing a big belly Shinichi, He Chen felt that his eyes were being violent.

Many of the signed authors saw He Chen for the first time, so people came over excitedly from time to time, asked He Chen for autographs and photos, and then ran away happily.

Among them is the author of "9999 ways to die for porters", named Tang Ou, a man in his thirties, who seemed to have been a screenwriter before.

"God! Your comics are so creative. I like your comics very much. Can you give me a signature?"

Most people have signed the book with He Chen, but what he handed to He Chen was his own book - "The Porter's 999 Ways to Die" was also published.

"Without you, I wouldn't have seen another world, nor would such a book be born!"

"... Without you, I wouldn't know that I might have died so miserably." He Chen joked, Tang Ou scratched his head, He Chen signed the name and handed it to him, "I hope you can create a more exciting story."

What made He Chen a little regretful was that the author he wanted to see most failed to attend the annual meeting in a moment.

The annual meeting was ready, He Chen walked onto the podium and looked at the crowd below: they had old employees in Tiange; new employees in Tianman; and new people who had nothing to know about in the comics industry. But everyone's eyes were shining with the same light.

"Last year, at this time, "Pokemon" was hailed as a miracle in the handheld game world, and the comics also entered people's vision for the first time!"

"This year, comic adapted animations have been launched on TV, and a single book has been released nationwide, and the comics have been recognized by people!"

"Last year, there were only two comics, one called "Pokemon" and the other called "Elf Baby". The comic website only has Dmfun."

"This year, there are 152 comics signed in serialized on Dmfun! There are 6 comic websites online!"

“Last year, I was the only one.”

"This year, I have you, and the comics world has you!"

"This year is a year for Tianman."

"But I hope that next year will be a year in the comics world! I hope that each of you can create a more exciting story! I hope that each of you can surpass me!"
Chapter completed!
