As soon as this idea came out, Chen Yu felt that it was very feasible.
Of course, this was not because Chen Yu thought that "Zuo Yanchen's" drawing skills were very good, but it was actually not bad.
That was not the key point.
The key point was that using China's Internet to create comics had an absolute advantage.
Just like in his previous life, the Internet had developed to become one of the four major cultural phenomena after Hollywood, Japanese anime, and Korean TV series. Although China's Internet had not been developed for long, China's Internet creativity had already stood out.
This was a huge advantage.
For example, Chen Yu's "The Legend of Mir: Dream Reality" was a virtual online game that did not exist in Japan. If this kind of creativity was adapted into a comic, it would be a highlight even in Japan.
Although it might not be a hit, it would at least attract a lot of attention.
Another example was the famous Japanese comic "Sword God Domain" in his previous life. It was actually an anime set in a virtual online game.
But this idea had long been available in China.
At the same time, comics adapted from the Internet in his previous life were also popular.
This proved the feasibility of using the Internet as a background to create comics.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu called Xu Liang again.
When Chen Yu communicated his idea to Xu Liang, Xu Liang was also a little excited.
"Boss Chen, I think this idea is feasible."
"There are a lot of comic writers in China, but there is a lack of well-known comics. One of the reasons is not the drawing skills of the comic writers in China, but that the comic writers in China are not very good at telling a good story. "
"But if there is the Internet, there will be a market in Japan if we draw according to the Internet."
Although he did not know how it would perform when it was launched, at least this was an opportunity to try.
"Hello, Zuo Yanchen."
"Hello, Da Bai."
"I like your comics very much. It's like this, I'm going to take your comics and serialize them on the Internet in Japan. What do you think?"
"Ah, Japan?"
Zuo Yanchen was a little confused.
She just drew casually as a hobby, and he wanted to take it to Japan.
"Da Bai, don't scare me."
"Why would I scare you? It's true."
"No way."
After repeated confirmation, Zuo Yanchen realized that Chen Yu was telling the truth.
"Um, Da Bai, my level is very average. I'm afraid it would be embarrassing to bring it to Japan."
"I think it's pretty good."
"But I don't know Japanese."
"It's okay. You can draw the Chinese version first. Someone will translate it for you later."
"Is that so …"
"Also, I can give you one-third of the profits from the sales on the Japanese Yunman website."
Since they were going to launch the Yunman platform, they had to ensure the income of these comic creators.
If there was no income, it was impossible to rely on love to generate electricity.
According to the rules of Yun Man's platform, if the comic author had the complete copyright, the income would be split 50-50.
If it was based on an adaptation, the share would be one-third.
One point for the platform, one point for the manga author, and one point for the web author.
Of course, you could also buy the copyright of a web author's work, but generally, you would have to pay a copyright fee in the early stages of this operation. Ordinary comic book authors would not have this kind of money. However, by using the method of splitting the profits, the benefits of all parties could be perfectly resolved. This way, whether it was the manga author, the author, or the platform, they would all be able to earn money.
"Big White, I'm willing to draw for you. I don't want to get a share."
"That won't do. This is the rule. I'm not giving you a share for free. In the future, when you get a share, you have to complete the work on time and according to the quality."
"I'm mainly afraid that others will laugh at me. After all, I showed it to everyone for free previously. If I get paid for it in Japan and everyone says that my drawing is bad, I'll be depressed."
"It's okay. You can do it."
After communicating with Zuo Yanchen, Chen Yu asked Zhang Jianming to find another comic book author.
This comic book author mainly drew another one of Chen Yu's books, Fantasy Journey to the West: Prehistoric Times.
Of course, Chen Yu was actually planning to let more comic book authors participate on their own.
For this, Chen Yu also asked Xu Liang to come back to China and specially set up a comic website.
This website was also called Yunman.
It was a Japanese version in Japan. Naturally, it was a Chinese version in China.
However, Chen Yu did not promote this website on a large scale at the moment.
He first let his two comic books test the waters in Japan.
If the reaction was good, it would not be too late to promote it.
…
Da Bai Readers Group.
Zuo Yanchen: "Everyone, Da Bai said that he wants to serialize my comic in Japan."
Old Worm: "F * ck, no way."
Zuo Yanchen: "At first, I thought it was a joke, but Da Bai is serious. This is a message from Da Bai."
Little Xin: "Zuo Yanchen, good luck."
Old Worm: "666 …"
One Soil: "Zuo Yanchen, you're trying to conquer the Japanese people."
Zuo Yanchen: "I'm afraid that if I don't draw well, I'll embarrass Da Bai."
Little Xin: "It's okay. You draw very well. I'm watching it."
Old Worm: "Yes, yes. Da Bai is the pioneer of virtual online games. There's no such creativity in Japan. What if he accidentally becomes popular?"
One Soil: "Well, please keep me."
Zuo Yanchen: "Thank you everyone. I'll definitely do my best."
Zuo Yanchen was excited to receive everyone's support.
Previously, he just thought it was fun and he was a fan of Da Bai, so he drew it.
But now, Zuo Yanchen was starting to take it seriously.
Even if he didn't make money, he had to at least draw something that everyone liked. Moreover, this was going to be serialized in Japan. If he didn't draw well, he would lose face in Japan.
For a period of time, Zuo Yanchen didn't go anywhere. He put all his energy into the creation of the comic.
At the same time, the first few chapters of Zuo Yanchen's comic were quickly translated by Xu Liang.
It was very simple.
The most difficult part of creating a comic was the drawing and the story. But if it was just a literal translation, it was done in an instant.
He clicked upload.
The Japanese version of the "Legendary World of Fantasy Reality" comic appeared.
…
"God Bai, God Bai, you're creating another comic platform?"
In YY, Qidian's editor-in-chief sent Chen Yu a message.
"Nonsense, you're quite well-informed."
"This is nothing. You're so popular, and now you're creating a Japanese comic. The entire circle knows about it."
This was normal.
In fact, the online circle wasn't very big. As soon as the Japanese version of the "Legendary World of Fantasy Reality" comic appeared, it attracted a lot of discussion.
This concerned everyone's interests, and this was a big innovation.
"I just want to give it a try."
"We also think that this model is very good, so we want to cooperate with your comic platform in the future. We want more comic writers to adapt and create works in Qidian. "
"That's what I'm thinking too."
"That's great, I'll report it to the higher-ups now."
Actually, it didn't matter whether they reported it or not.
Because of his previous investment, Chen Yu had a part of Qidian's shares.
In addition, Huanyu Technologies had a huge impact on the Internet. Qidian would naturally cooperate more with Huanyu Technologies.
Of course, although Qidian was an online platform, it wasn't limited to online creation.
It was only a matter of time before more copyright extensions were carried out in the future.
The comic at this time was an opportunity.
No matter how good it was, they would give it a try.
