Chen Ze soon got the weekly sales figures of digital Tyrannosaurus Rex, and it was Ou Cheng who called to talk. Listening to his voice, he was very happy.
"7.86 million in the first week?" After hanging up the phone, Chen Ze thought to himself, "there is no pressure to sell a total of tens of millions. Unexpectedly, it will be so hot."
Chen Ze himself calculated that if he sold tens of millions, he would have at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of shares. This is just a peripheral area. With the sales of "digital baby" comics, the cost of animation adaptation, and the box office of the possible theater version in the future, Chen Ze will have hundreds of millions of revenue just for a "digital baby".
It's amazing how rewarding it is. It's just that I've only got a small share of it. If you open your own company and sell your own comics, such as Kodak, game king, pet elf, Altman and so on, you don't want to rush directly to the rich list.
Chen Ze also thought of "slam dunk master", which has been serialized for nearly a year and has brought him hundreds of millions of income. In the foreseeable future, there will be a big explosion.
So count down, Chen Ze's current value has been more than 100 million, also can be regarded as a small rich! In his previous life, he never thought that he would have such a rich day.
After such a calculation, Chen Ze became more energetic. For a while, he became a dog.
The comics and animations of "slam dunk master" and "digital baby" were all made by him. Fortunately, he opened a small studio, and the operation of the studio became more and more smooth.
Most of the time, without Chen Ze saying anything more, many problems in comics have been solved. Soon, Chen Ze even needs to draw a sketch, and his assistants will help him with the rest. His relaxed days are coming.
Unexpectedly, the next event broke his good expectations.
United States, New York, hills building!
At the 35th World Comics conference, a Chinese won the Gaines prize and the highest achievement award of global comics.
This award is the highest honor in the world's cartoon industry, and its status is equivalent to the Oscar in the film industry. In recent years, although the cartoon industry in Huaxia has developed very prosperous, so far, only a few people have won this award.
Among them, the first Chinese was Li Mingyang. When he won the award, he was only 28 years old, a record unmatched.
Today, another Chinese has won this award in the comics industry. Once again for China, for the Chinese people won the honor.
Chinese journalists have been waiting outside the building for a long time to send the news back to China.
"Come out!"
I don't know who was the first to find the Chinese who just won the Gaines prize - Zhang Jiye came out, he was full of smile, very high spirited.
Zhang Ji is not a simple character. He is 40 years old and has been engaged in the comic industry for more than ten years. And like Chen Ze and Li Ming, their first comic book has caused a huge sensation, and they are known as talented cartoonists.
Not only that, before Chen Ze, he was the closest to Li Ming's audience rating with his first cartoon adaptation, and was once regarded as a cartoonist with hope of surpassing Li Ming's.
Although Zhang Jiyi's cartoons were quite popular later, he was farther and farther away from Li Mingyang and had no chance to surpass him.
However, he is still one of the most outstanding cartoonists in the whole Chinese cartoon industry. Today, he has won the highest award in the global cartoon industry. It can be said that he has reached the peak of his life. Naturally, he has reason to be high spirited.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I heard that you have just won the Gaines prize and become another cartoonist in China who has won the highest honor. Here we would like to congratulate you first." A group of Chinese journalists immediately gathered around them.
"Thank you very much. This time, I want to thank the judges of the conference for their fairness and justice, so that I can win this award." Zhang Jiyi said with a smile, looking very confident. "Of course, I also want to thank all the Chinese people and my supporters. Without your company, I could not have survived to this day."
"This time you have won this award, do you mean that you are close to Li Ming in another place! Before you took part in this conference, Li Mingyang predicted that you would be the only one to win this award. "
A reporter said that Zhang Jiyi has been compared with Li Ming by the media since his debut. Although he did not break a record of Li Ming in his long cartoon career of more than ten years, he was the closest to Li Ming among cartoonists of his time.Zhang Ji also listened to this reporter's words, slightly frowned. At the beginning of his career, he really had the heart to surpass Li Ming, but as time went on, he felt more and more that the difficulties of the records created by Li Ming were not attainable.
Although he is conceited of his comic talent, he has to admit that he has not surpassed Li Ming's hope in his life, or even has no hope to connect with him.
However, these reporters always compare him with Li Ming, making his honor, record and so on look useless under Li Ming's brilliance. It can be said that he has been living in the shadow of Li Ming for more than ten years.
Today, I won the highest award in the world, and these reporters keep talking about Li Ming. You know, he won this award at the age of 28, almost unprecedented. Compared with him, he is nothing.
However, although I was very angry, it was a public occasion and I couldn't let it out.
Therefore, Zhang Jiyi just said with a smile: "I would like to thank Mr. Li Ming for his recognition. In this world, I think he is the best cartoonist. To get his recognition has been an honor for me to win the Gaines award. And his record is too abnormal, I don't think the earth people can break it at all
"In fact, it's not that no one can break it. Some time ago, a new cartoonist Chen Ze appeared in China. He has already broken the highest rating record of Teacher Li Mingyang's first animation work, which has caused an uproar in our country." A reporter said.
Chen Ze?
Although Zhang Jiyi has been abroad for a long time, he has heard about domestic news. In particular, Chen Ze, as the most outstanding talent in the new generation of cartoonists, has been rated by the media as a person who is likely to surpass Li Ming. How can he not know.
It's true that Chen Ze broke one of Li Ming's records, but it's the least impressive one. He almost broke it that year.
But Li Ming is not so good to surpass, he can be said to have achieved the ultimate in all areas of the comic industry. If you want to surpass him, it is estimated that only the God of comics can do it.
"I've heard of Chen Ze and seen some of his works. I admit that he is also a gifted cartoonist, but I don't think he has any hope of surpassing Li Mingyang. "
Zhang Jiyi said that although he thought Chen Ze could not surpass Li Ming, he was still envious that he could break a record of Li Ming. I've worked hard all my life to do what I haven't done, but a younger generation has done it. In particular, this junior is still a dropout of an ordinary university. He is the best student in BJ University.
"But I think what he's doing is just wasting his talent." Zhang Jiyi's words changed, "I heard that he was busy drawing cartoons for children recently. We should know that our cartoon industry is a industry that either advances or retreats. Only with solid basic skills and profound cultural quality, can we really make a difference in the cartoon industry."
"As far as I know, Chen Ze is just a dropout of an ordinary university. With his accumulation of knowledge and cultural cultivation, he may have a good comic book with his inspiration. But it's impossible to make a difference in the comic industry. Recently, his behavior has also verified my idea. Instead of thinking about how to go further, he went to draw cartoons for primary school students. Let alone surpass Mr. Li Mingyang, I'm afraid I won't see him in the cartoon industry soon. "
All the reporters on the scene did not expect that Zhang Jiyi had said such a thing at the end. This was a big story. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Some even thought about the title.
"Grace award winner Zhang Jiyi asserts that Chen Ze, a popular newcomer, will do nothing in the future"
