Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

"Yes."

After the portal business was finished, Chen Yu thought of an original animation platform in Japan.

In order for Lizi mp3 to enter the Japanese market smoothly, Chen Yu launched an original animation website in Japan - Yunman.

This website is similar to Qidian Chinese website.

However, Qidian Chinese website serializes novels, while "Yunman" serializes comics.

Xu Liang was in charge of the Yunman platform Chen Yu.

Since Xu Liang joined Universal Technology from Penguin, a group of old Penguin employees have shown their hard work.Not only won the PK in the YY coin revision, but also stood out in other businesses.For this reason, Chen Yu sent Xu Liang to personally take charge of the [Yunman Project].On the one hand, it is due to Xu Liang's ability, and on the other hand, it is also a reward for the winner of the internal horse racing mechanism.

Chapter 362: There Are Genius Comic Writers in China

"Brother Jian, how is Yunman's situation?"

"It's not very good."

"Why, didn't I hear that the prospect is very bright a while ago?"

"It's mainly because the comic studios and comic magazines that we cooperated with before have withdrawn their copyrights, so they don't cooperate anymore?"

"why?"

"The reason is unknown and is still under investigation. You have to ask Xu Liang for details."

"Call Xu Liang."

Yunman is an important layout of pear mp3 in Japan.

If Yunman can't push it out, Lizi mp3 will also be greatly affected.

"Mr. Chen."

Soon, Xu Liang got through the phone.

At this time, Xu Liang was in Japan. Regarding Chen Yu's phone call, Xu Liang had already guessed: "Mr. Chen, according to our latest investigation results, the reason why several major studios and comic magazines in Japan withdrew their copyrights was because they were worried about our digital content. The comic VIP charging model will affect their paper comic sales."

The manga industry in Japan is a very large one.

The annual sales of Japanese paper comics are also extremely terrifying.

However, the emergence of Yunman has launched a new way of reading and purchasing comics.

Before, everyone read comics through offline paper purchases, but now there is a new option.

They can pay online and read online.

This is the same as paying to read online novels online.

However, the Japanese people like manga more than novels.

"So, Yunman's VIP charging model has been recognized by the Japanese people?"

"Many people in Japan say that electronic VIP payment is more convenient and easier to follow up. On the contrary, it takes a long time to buy paper books offline."

"That looks like good news."

Chen Yu smiled gratifiedly.

At the same time, Chen Yu also thought that in 2017 in his previous life, the sales of electronic comics in Japan had surpassed that of paper comics.

At that time, the sales of Japanese electronic comics in 2017 were 1711 billion yen, while the sales of paper comics were 1666 billion yen.

However, although the model is correct, it has encountered difficulties for the current Yunman.

"Xu Liang, how is Yunman's situation now?"

"Because the major studios and comic magazines took back a lot of copyrights, the traffic of our Yunman has plummeted. We can only cooperate with some small comic studios, but these small comic studios are not well-known, and their works are not well-known. It doesn't have much popularity, and the quality is not as good as all kinds of classic comics, and our VIP membership fees are also declining rapidly..."

"It's a nuisance."

The pattern is correct, but it's useless without classic manga.

Just like the VIP payment model of Qidian Chinese.com is good, but if there are no classic online novels, users will not buy it either.It's not that the readers are stingy, but that your product is not good enough.

"Can you bring in manga authors like Masashi Kishimoto?"

Masashi Kishimoto is the author of Naruto.

What Chen Yu meant was to lure him to Yunman with a lot of money.

But Xu Liang shook his head: "It's basically impossible."

"A well-known manga author like Kishimoto pays the most attention to the offline market, and he has already signed contracts with major companies, and the entire Japanese animation industry is very mature. We are just new recruits in the Japanese manga market. It won't come to us either."

It's not about money.

Like these well-known cartoonists, money is no longer worrying.

What they want to see is that their comics can be sold all over the world.

And this, only Japan's local manga industry companies can do it.

"Is there no solution?"

"There is, but it's not particularly obvious for the time being."

Xu Liang said: "We have opened the background of original comics. In addition to signing contracts with some comic studios, ordinary comic authors can also upload their own comics. However, most of the comics have performed very mediocre recently and have not attracted attention. There is too much attention from the public, and there are no violent works."

Japan has a mature manga industry, and powerful manga authors have long been able to succeed offline.

And those who have no strength, even if they put their works on the Internet, not many people will read them.

This is different from online novels on the domestic side.

Internet novels are an emerging genre of literature, which has never appeared offline.

As soon as the online novel platform appeared, domestic powerful authors immediately emerged.

Just like the current starting point, in addition to super gods like [No. [-] White in the World], there have also been some powerful authors such as Tang Jiashao, I Eat Tomatoes, and Xuehong in recent times. .

"However, Mr. Chen, don't worry. Although there are no outrageous works in the original comics for the time being, it has aroused the interest of many Japanese comic authors. Most of the drawings here may be mediocre, but there are always some that perform well. I expect that after a year, our original comics will be able to see the first effect."

It's just that although Xu Liang said so, Chen Yu shook his head.

He naturally knew that Liang Xu was right.

But Chen Yu, who knew this model better, knew that it would take time.

As Xu Liang said, one year later... If it is a year later, then their pear mp3 will have to hit the street.

But Chen Yu also knew that this kind of thing can't be rushed.

Content creation takes time.

Even if Qi Qi dominated the entire web literature arena in his previous life, it took him several years.

In the end, there are a group of authors who are talented and talented at the starting point, creating a new world.

"Okay, Xu Liang, you've worked hard in Japan, keep working hard."

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, I assure you, if Yunman doesn't start, I won't go back to China."

"If you don't go back to China, it seems that you won't want to leave in Japan."

"Mr. Chen, I didn't mean that?"

"Just kidding with you, don't explain, explain again..."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu thought about the lock alone.

He has some headaches.

From this point of view, Yunman in Japan has not started doing it so quickly for the time being.

This has a relatively large impact on pear mp3.

Of course, if it was just pear mp3, Chen Yu wouldn't have such a headache.

Pear mp3 is best sold in Japan. Even if it cannot be sold well, there is still a domestic market to support it.

He doesn't have to occupy the Japanese market.

Mp3 can't handle Japan, and there will be smart phones in the future.

However, Yunman and Lizi mp3 are an important part of Chen Yu's electronic payment in Japan.

Have to figure out a way.

For several days in a row, Chen Yu didn't think of any solution.

Even, Chen Yu called and chatted with the editor-in-chiefs of Qidian, and they also felt that they could only rely on time to build content.

After all, it is impossible for a genius-level cartoonist to appear all at once.

If you want violent money content, it is impossible to accumulate without time.

……

"Dabai, Dabai, are you here?"

"Dabai is big, Dabai is big, it's not big."

"Dabai..."

Didi Didi, there are dozens of messages in YY information.

Chen Yu clicked on it and saw that it was posted by an enthusiastic reader "Zuo Yanchen".

Speaking of this reader, it is quite interesting.

This reader named "Zuo Yanchen" said that he was a huge fan of Chen Yu's novels. He not only liked Chen Yu's novels, but also drew cartoons for Chen Yu's online novels.It turned out that Chen Yu felt that what "Zuo Yanchen" said was false, but in the end, YY really posted the first drawing.

"I'll go, you don't study manga, do you?"

"That's right, I just studied manga."

"Amazing, amazing. I didn't expect there to be so many geniuses among my readers."

"How is it, how is the painting?"

"not bad."

"Thank you, Dabai, for your compliment, so I'm going to continue serializing it for you? But, Dabai, I'm just a poor student, and I don't have the money to buy the copyright of your comics."

"It's okay, it won't be published anyway, you can serialize it, no money."

In 2003, the domestic comic market basically had no market.

There is a market that is also a manga market in Japan.

Of course, this changed gradually after 2010.

Since this huge fan likes to draw so much, let him do it.

"Thank you so much, Dabai."

"You're welcome, I still have to thank you, you serialized it for me, and you are also increasing the popularity of my novel."

"It's okay, it's okay, as your fan, I'm happy to see it."

After "Zuo Yanchen" finished speaking, he excitedly sent a message to the "No. [-] White Under Heaven" reader group.

"Everyone, today I uploaded the manga of "Fantasy Reality of the Legendary World" in my circle. This is the first drawing, and I will update it once a week for serialization. This is the link, please ask for flowers..."

Zuo Yanchen posted a link in the group, and soon, a group of book friends joined the group.

"I rely on you, talent."

"This painting skill is very powerful."

"That's right, that's right. I thought there were no manga artists in China. I didn't expect domestic manga artists to draw so well."

"If you want me to say, it's no worse than Japanese manga authors."

"Yes, much better than theirs."

"There is more, there is more, please update..."

Chen Yu also joined in the fun, read many readers' comments, and praised "Zuo Yanchen" from time to time in his heart.

However, when Chen Yu was about to close the circle, Chen Yu suddenly thought of something: "What if the comics drawn by Zuo Yanchen were serialized on the Yunman platform...?"
