456 New Year's Party
Although fan is an indispensable part of the ACGN field, if a work is always only satisfied with small-scale fights in the fan field, it will not have a big "money prospect".
In the view of Qin and Han dynasties, commercialization is a topic that cannot be avoided on the road to the development of fan works.
Although there were exceptions like the Oriental Series in previous lives, whether it was Shiyue or clamp, these well-known fan clubs have all developed in the direction of commercialization after accumulating enough fame and economic strength.
You can run a business magazine that is specifically used to publish works related to Fate and Oriental series - including novels, comics, illustrations, sets, chats, etc.
A person's ability and energy are limited in the end. The right way is to recruit more talented creators to fill in the content of Fate and the East, expand the world view, and finally form a colorful fantasy universe.
In this way, there is no need to worry about the original story for reference and adaptation of derivative products such as games and animations.
Just like the Kazuki Club in his previous life, in addition to the two core cores of Takeuchi Tsuka and Nasu Mushroom, there are also a large number of outstanding (?) creators such as Uribuki Gen, Higaide Yuichiro, and Sakurai Mitsuki to achieve great achievements.
If you run a business magazine yourself, you will have a window to display your own company's works and a platform to attract outstanding creators. This is a good thing that is beneficial and harmless.
However, this matter still needs to be discussed in a long-term manner.
Now all the funds in Qin Han need to be used to acquire Dongbao's stocks, and there is no spare effort to invest in the publishing industry. In addition, if a new magazine is founded, if it wants to quickly gain fame and increase sales, it must have excellent content.
It is a good choice to serialize "fate/zero" in a new magazine. However, just one work is not enough to support the original magazine.
Therefore, the Qin and Han dynasties still need to find a group of potential creators.
It's not too late to consider the magazine matter after all these things are ready.
"Fujimoto, of course, I want to participate in the CM fan exhibition every time, but I really can't get away with it. And I have other plans for the development of the two series Fate and Oriental."
"Understand, understand. It seems that you have plans to completely commercialize these two series?" Fujimoto Shunsuke asked with interest.
Tiger's acupoint is not only a business fan, but also a sales focus. For Shunsuke Fujimoto, as long as he can maintain a cooperative relationship with Qin and Han, both commercial comics and fan fiction will make a lot of money.
"Yes, I'm just planning." Qin Han said, "but the specific plan is still brewing. At that time, I will inevitably ask you for help."
"Then I'll wait for you for good news from Qin Sang." Fujimoto Shunsuke seemed to have received a satisfactory answer and his tone became relaxed and happy.
After the main talk, he suddenly asked, "Qin Sang, are you free tonight? I held a New Year's party at home, invited many related people from the animation and comics industry, and there are also many well-known cartoonists. If you feel bored, why not come and have fun? Of course, I also welcome you to bring friends."
"Party..."
The period from the end of the year to the beginning of the year is also the most intensive time for all kinds of gatherings and parties.
Qin Han only attended the New Year's Meeting between Jiyingshe and Baiquanshe not long ago. In addition to eating and drinking, he chatted with the rare Tongshe cartoonists, and also brought home a brand new PS3 during the lottery.
"Okay, I will definitely arrive." Qin Han thought for a while and agreed to Fujimoto Shunsuke's invitation.
Although he wanted to stay at home and have some rest, maybe Yui Aragaki, who had finished his work tonight, could go home to accompany him. However, taking this opportunity to accumulate more connections, it would also be helpful for running magazines in the future.
"That's great, then that's it. See you in the evening, Qin Sang."
After the call with Fujimoto Shunsuke, Qin Han called his cartoonist friends and invited them to go with him.
Otaku had a lot of fun on Christmas and now he is in a hell of rushing to manuscripts and has no time.
Araki Yoshiro took advantage of the New Year to go back to his hometown in Sendai, but he couldn't come.
The others also had their own reasons, and the ones who finally agreed to attend the party with Qin Han were Yuhiko Inoue and Katsumasaki.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Han drove to the apartment rented by two people in Zhongye District to pick up people.
Although Yuhiko Inoue and Masahika Kanei have now officially debuted in "Weekly Young JUMP" and have become commercial cartoonists. They have a lot of income and don't have to worry about their livelihoods, because they are too busy with work, they don't even have time to buy a car when taking the driver's license and still rely on trams to travel, so today they can only ask Qin Han.
Fujimoto's home is in Ichikawa City, adjacent to Tokyo, Chiba Prefecture. It drives from the Capital Expressway Bay coastline to enter Tokyo every day. The commuting time is shorter than that of some areas in the Tak to work.
Moreover, the housing prices in Chiba Prefecture are much lower than those in Tokyo. When Fujimoto Shunsuke came to Qin Han’s house for the first time, he heard about the price of this high-end apartment in Minato District, and said proudly, "My villa is twice as big as your apartment, but the price is only less than one-third." He looked like a profitable businessman.
When we arrived at Fujimoto's house, it was getting darker and there were still spaces available in the temporary parking lot near the villa, which made Qin Han say intimately, "I'm so lucky."
"Fuzumi's house is really good." Gui Zhenghe couldn't help but sigh at the beautiful modern-style villa behind the red wall.
"Yeah." Inoue Yuhiko also nodded, expressing her agreement.
Qin Han smiled and said, "You two don't need to be so envious. With your ability, you will be able to add a few extra volumes of single volumes in the future, and are you afraid that you can't afford such a villa?"
After making his debut with Tezuka Jung and serializing several short and medium-length stories in the monthly magazine, Katsura Kane-he's debut work "The Movie Girl" serialized on "Weekly Boy JUMP" has just been six chapters now, and it's not as long as it was released in a single-line version.
Although Yuhiko Inoue's "Chameleon" adopted the suggestions of Qin and Han, his popularity gradually increased, and he also got rid of the fate of being cut in half, he has now released five volumes of single volumes, with sales of just over 600,000 copies. It is not bad, but it is not as good as a "best-selling comic".
In this era of rapid development of the comic industry, only young cartoonists who have sold 1 million in volumes can enter the house and enter the top ranks.
Both Yuhiko Inoue and Masahika Kanei have been able to rely on the income from drawing comics to live a more comfortable life, but they are far from reaching the level of "major profit", so they are not afraid of what Qin and Han said about "buying villas with one book".
"For a villa like this, you can buy land and repair a house and spend hundreds of millions. You have to make enough money with royalties, which is not tolerant..." said Yuhiko Inoue.
Chapter completed!
