Chapter 364

"Brother Jian, how's Yunman?"

"The situation is not very good."

"Why, I heard some time ago that the prospect was very broad?"

"It's mainly because several comic studios and comic magazines that cooperated before have taken back the copyright and don't cooperate?"

"Why?"

"The reason is unknown. It's still under investigation. I 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, pear MP3 will also be greatly affected.

"President Chen."

Soon, Xu Liang got through.

At this time, Xu Liang is in Japan. For Chen Yu's phone call, Xu Liang has guessed: "President Chen, according to our latest survey results, the reason why several major studios and comic magazines in Japan withdraw their copyright is that they are worried that our electronic comic VIP charging model will affect their paper comic sales."

Japan's cartoon industry is a large-scale industry.

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

However, the emergence of Yunman has launched a new way to read and buy comics.

Before, everyone bought comics through offline paper, but now they have a new choice.

They can pay online and read online.

This is the same as paying for online novels.

However, Japanese people like comics, not to mention reading novels.

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

"Many Japanese people say that e-vip payment is more convenient and easier to catch up with. On the contrary, it takes a long time to buy paper books offline."

"That seems like good news."

Chen Yu smiled happily.

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

At that time, the sales of Japanese electronic comics in 2017 was 171.1 billion yen, while that of paper comics was 166.6 billion yen.

However, although the mode is correct, it has encountered difficulties for Yunman now.

"Xu Liang, what is the situation of Yunman now?"

"Because major studios and comic magazines have taken back many copyrights, our Yunman traffic has plummeted. We can only cooperate with some small comic studios, but these small comic studios are not well-known, and their works do not have much popularity. In addition, the quality is not comparable to all kinds of classic comics, and our VIP member fees are also declining rapidly..."

"It's a trouble."

Although the model is correct, it is useless without classic comics.

Just like the VIP payment mode of the starting point Chinese network, although it is good, if there is no classic online novel, users also don't buy it. It's not that readers are stingy, but that your products fail.

"Can you bring in comic writers like Kishi Kishimoto?"

Kishi Kishimoto is the author of Japanese Naruto.

Chen Yu meant to dig him to Yunman with a lot of money.

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

"The most important thing for a well-known comic writer like ishimoto is the offline market, and he has already signed contracts with major companies, and the whole animation industry in Japan is very mature. We are just recruits in the Japanese comic market. Even if we are digging him at a high price, he won't come to us."

It's not about money.

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

What they want to see is that their comics can sell well all over the world.

Only Japan's local cartoon industry companies can do this.

"Is there no solution?"

"Yes, 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 comics studios, ordinary comics writers can also upload their own comics. However, most of the comics have performed very generally recently, which has not attracted too much attention from the public, and there are no works at the level of riot."

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

And there is no strength. Even if you put your works online, there are not many people watching them.

This is different from the domestic online novels.

Network novel is a new type of literature, which has not appeared under the entity line.

As soon as the network novel platform appears, domestic powerful authors will emerge in an instant.

As the starting point now, in addition to supernatural beings such as [the best in the world], recently there have been some powerful authors such as the three shaos of the Tang family, I eat Xihong persimmon and Xuehong.

"However, Mr. Chen, don't worry. Although there are no popular works in the original comics for the time being, it has aroused the interest of many Japanese comics writers. Most of the paintings here may be average, but some do well. I expect that our original comics will have an initial effect in a year."

Although Xu Liang said so, Chen Yu shook his head.

Naturally, he knew Liangxu had a point.

But Chen Yu, who knows more about this model, knows that it takes time.

As Xu Liang said, one year later... If one year later, their pear MP3 will have to rush into the street.

But Chen Yu also knows that such things are not urgent.

Content building takes time.

Even if the starting point dominated the whole online Jianghu in the previous life, it took several years.

Finally, there was a great many talented writers who started to create a new world at the starting point.

"OK, Xu Liang, I've worked hard in Japan. Continue to work hard."

"Mr. Chen, don't worry. I assure you that if Yunman doesn't do it, I won't return home."

"If you don't return home, it seems that you're happy to stay in Japan."

"President Chen, I don't mean that?"

"I'm kidding you. Don't explain. Just explain again..."

Hang up the phone and Chen Yu thinks about locking alone.

He has some headaches.

From this point of view, Yunman in Japan has not been done so quickly for the time being.

This has a great impact on pear MP3.

Of course, if it's just a pear MP3, Chen Yu doesn't have such a headache.

Pear mp3 can sell well in Japan. Even if it can't sell well, it is supported by the domestic market.

He doesn't have to occupy the Japanese market.

Mp3 can't handle Japan. There will be smart phones in the future.

However, Yunman and Lizi MP3 are an important layout of Chen Yu's electronic payment in Japan.

We have to find a way.

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

Even, Chen Yu called several chief editors at the starting point, and they felt that they could only rely on time to build content.

After all, talented comic writers can't appear all at once.

It's impossible to accumulate money without time.

……

"Big white, big white, are you there?"

"Big white big, big white big, not big."

"Big white..."

Didi, there are dozens of messages in YY information.

Chen Yu opened it. It was sent by "Zuo Yanchen", an enthusiastic reader.

Speaking of this reader, it's still quite interesting.

The reader named "Zuo Yanchen" said that he was a super novel fan of Chen Yu. He not only liked the novels written by Chen Yu, but also began to draw cartoons for the online novels written by Chen Yu. It turned out that Chen Yu thought what "Zuo Yanchen" said was false. As a result, YY really passed on the first painting.

"I'll go. You don't study comics, do you?"

"That's right. I study comics."

"Awesome, awesome. I didn't expect that there were so many talents among my readers."

"How's it going? How's it going?"

"Very good."

"Thank you. Thank you for your praise. I'm going to serialize it for you all the time. However, I'm just a poor student and have no money to buy your comic copyright."

"It's all right. It can't be published anyway. You can serialize it without money."

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

There is also a market for Japanese comics.

Of course, this will slowly change after 2010.

Since this super die hard fan likes painting so much, let him do it.

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome. I have to thank you. You're serializing me and increasing the popularity of my novel."

"It's okay, it's okay. As your fan, I'd love to see it."

"Zuo Yanchen" said and was very excited to send a message to the "No. 1 white in the world" reader group.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I uploaded the cartoon of the dream reality of the legendary world in the circle. This is the first painting. In the future, I will update one painting in a week. This is the connection, asking for flowers..."

Zuo Yanchen sent a link in the group. Soon, a group of book friends entered the circle one after another.

"Shit, talent."

"This painting is awesome."

"Yes, yes, I thought there were no comics in China. I didn't expect that the domestic comics writers were so good."

"If I say, it's no worse than that of Japanese comic writers."

"Yes, much better than them."

"There's more, there's more, please update..."

Chen Yu also joined the excitement, watched the comments of many readers, and praised "Zuo Yanchen" from time to time.

However, just as Chen Yu was about to close the circle, Chen Yu suddenly thought of something: "what if you put the cartoon painted by Zuo Yanchen on Yunman platform..."
