Jason returned to his studio with the script and some setting information of "Spider-Man". He is a contracted cartoonist of Dreamland. He has a separate studio in Dreamland with a very good environment, and the company provides him with this
The superior working environment is naturally designed to inspire his creative inspiration.
Lying on the rocking chair in the studio, Jason read the script of "Spider-Man". Since it was written by the new boss, he was quite interested in the script.
He wanted to see what kind of story a Chinese, or such a wealthy tycoon, would write?
Of course, he looked at this matter with the mentality of watching a good show, because he did not think that a Chinese person could write an animation story suitable for the American market.
The bad taste of a rich man, he bought an animation company, wouldn’t it just be to publish his own animation works??
Jason even had such an idea in his mind.
After taking a sip of coffee, Jason began to admire his boss's work with great interest.
And after he read the whole story setting, his mentality of watching a good show also changed.
This seems to be a very interesting story.
Ordinary people become Spider-Man, gain superpowers, and save the world?
This seems to be in line with American logical thinking.
For an animation work, the most important link is the "golden finger", which can also be said to be the author's imagination.
The more imaginative the story is, the more readers will be attracted to it. In addition, it is not enough to just be imaginative. It also needs to be down-to-earth, making readers feel as if the incident is happening around them, so that they can feel more involved.
The story Jason saw fully possessed these two qualities.
First of all, this story is very creative!
Secondly, the protagonist of the story is an ordinary person, right next to thousands of Americans!
Satisfying these two innate conditions, coupled with the personal heroism that Americans like, it is simply perfect!
This story might be popular!
Jason suddenly had this thought in his mind.
Yes, it should be popular!!
The more he read those scripts, the stronger the idea in Jason's mind became.
I'm going to draw it!
Draw now!
Yes, I can't wait to draw it!
Jason put down his script, his favorite coffee, and picked up his paintbrush...
Two weeks later.
The first two episodes of "Spider-Man" were released nationwide.
First published in Fantasyland's own comic magazine "Fantasy Comics".
Since Hu Shuo issued an order to concentrate the entire company's publicity efforts to promote "Spider-Man", its launch can be said to be well-known among comic readers in the United States.
Everyone knows that there is a comic called "Spider-Man" in Fantasyland, but despite the intense publicity, there is no obvious increase in sales of this first issue of "Fantasy Comics".
The sales volume of previous issues of "Fantasy Comics" was about 30,000 copies, and the online sales volume was about 70,000 to 80,000 copies.
Today, as electronic reading becomes more and more popular, it is difficult for physical comic magazines to regain their former glory.
The average sales volume of "Fantasy Comics" is about 30,000 copies, ranking among the top five among all comic magazines in the United States.
Although a lot of publicity was done, the initial sales volume of this issue of "Fantasy Comics" was only more than 2,000 copies more than usual. It can be seen that readers are still not convinced by this kind of publicity.
In fact, it's not that readers don't buy it, but that the reputation of "Fantasy Comics" has collapsed in recent years, so the readership group has become smaller and smaller, and people no longer buy the new works it produces.
"Fantasy Comics" is a weekly issue, with the latest issue online every Friday.
The Fantasy Comics serializing "Spider-Man" is the 46th issue of this year.
Before getting off work on Friday, Elson asked about the sales volume of the latest issue of "Fantasy Comics" and was told that it was just over 2,000 copies more than usual.
Elson just laughed at this result. Although the company spent a lot of money on publicity and distribution, this was the boss's intention. Even if the sales of this issue of "Fantasy Comics" were poor, he did not need to take the blame.
"What a rich man's game!"
“I wonder what the Chinese boss’s expression would be when he learned that his work was not popular!”
A joking smile appeared on Elson's face, and then he went home from get off work.
night.
As the animation development director of Dreamland, Elson habitually logs into the largest animation website in the United States, Animation Alliance.
This website contains all American anime, including all serialized anime or completed anime, and there are also electronic versions of major anime magazines.
Sitting in front of the computer, Elson first made himself a cup of coffee. This is a habit of many Americans. When reading a book or looking at the computer, you must have a cup of coffee at hand.
Elson browses this website mainly to check the major sales lists and pay attention to the latest trends in the animation market.
I don’t know who will be number one between “Starry Sky Animation” and “Knight Animation”?
"Starry Sky Animation" and "Knights Animation" are the best anime magazines purchased in the United States in the past two years. The sales volume of both physical and electronic versions are about the same. Overall, Starry Sky has a slight advantage.
The top and runner-up spots on the best-selling list of anime magazines are also dominated by these two magazines all year round.
Slide the mouse to find the weekly bestseller list. Unsurprisingly, "Starry Sky Animation" ranks first in sales, and "Knight Animation" ranks second.
Looking down casually, Elson was startled, because their "Dream Comics" actually ranked third on the weekly bestseller list.
This result was somewhat beyond Elson's expectation. After all, they had always been ranked fourth or fifth in the past.
Moreover, he clearly remembered that yesterday "Fantasy Comics" was still ranked fifth on the weekly bestseller list.
However, tonight they climbed to third place!
Although today is the release date of the latest issue of "Fantasy Comics", the release dates of other comics are also today, so this is not because of the release date.
What went wrong?
Is it because the story of "Wes the Bear" started to gain momentum??
Elson clicked on the electronic magazine's daily bestseller list again...
what??
And when the list opened, he immediately exclaimed, his eyes full of shock.
Because "Fantasy Comics" is actually No. 1 on the Japanese best-selling list!
In other words, the sales volume of "Fantasy Comics" today will exceed that of "Star Comics" and "Knight Comics"!
Oh my god!
How is this possible!!
Elson opened his mouth in surprise and didn't close it for a long time.
Today is the release day for all comic magazines. Both "Star Comics" and "Knight Comics" have released their latest issues. Under such circumstances, "Fantasy Comics" has achieved a single-day sales lead, which is simply incredible!
Elson immediately checked the single-day sales of three magazines.
"Fantasy Comics" 150842 volumes.
"Star Comics" 141204 volumes.
"Knight Comics" 134698 volumes.
I bought it!
Our sales actually doubled!
Elson couldn't believe the set of data he saw in front of him!
However, they were truly presented before his eyes. "Fantasy Comics" indeed sold 150,000 copies in one day today!!
