221 [Being looked down upon]

Xia Tian came to Liang Jiahui excitedly, wanting to tell him the good news about his comeback.

Unexpectedly, Tang Congsheng was topping with a pot of cold water, which made him feel lost.

Entering the comics industry is a key step in developing his IP. If this step works, he can try shooting TV, movies, and even developing games in the future.

Because adapting comics is the lowest cost, you can try it for only a few thousand yuan. But shooting TV, movies, and games can cost at least millions of Hong Kong dollars. Even if you have money in summer, you dare not try it so easily.

But unexpectedly, this critical first step was in danger of missing the opportunity, which made Xia Tian feel very unhappy.

Since his debut, all his business has been booming, and every decision he made can bring him huge profits.

Just like he proposed to set up a counter in the theater to sell peach wood swords and gossip mirrors. In the past few days alone, more than 3,000 peach wood swords were sold, and more than 10,000 gossip mirrors were sold, which made him easily make a small fortune. Even Pan Disheng, known as a business genius, admired his business mind,

Now he seems to be about to fall in the comics world, how can Xia Tian be willing to do so?

Depressed, Liang Jiahui disappeared and turned around and walked out.

...

Yulang Comic Club.

"Master, good news." Zhang Wan happily reported to Huang Yulang, "I just received the news that the summer book "Buddha is the Tao" has lost sales. It has been on the market for three days, but it has not sold 10,000 copies. Many vendors complained."

"Oh?!" Huang Yulang was stunned, then smiled slightly, "It's true that it wasn't as I expected. He thought that everyone could draw comics, it's so naive!"

"What the master said is. He thought that he could make movies and novels, and he could create a world in the comics world, which would be too underestimated by our career." Zhang Wan said with a smile.

"I also heard that after his comic was released, many readers did not buy it. The main writer Xu Jingchen was not famous at all, and it was not attractive at all. Moreover, the story was too messy, even the gods and monsters came out, which was simply nonsense." Qi Wenjie also said.

"He really deserves to die after making so many mistakes without knowing it." Huang Yulang laughed.

After listening to the words of his two beloved disciples, he felt even more comfortable. No matter what, he finally lost one competitor and one person who competed for food with him.

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang.

Huang Yulang picked it up and heard it, but he was the editor of the Oriental Daily. He asked him what he thought about the failure of Xia Tian’s entry into the comics industry.

He was in a happy mood at this moment. When the reporter asked this, he suddenly scratched the itchy part and couldn't help but speak loudly.

"In my opinion, he is not suitable for the comics industry at all. It's better to go back and make movies honestly. Can anyone draw comics? It's too simple to think about our career." Huang Yulang said with a big mouth.

"Master, don't talk nonsense." Qi Wenjie hurriedly advised.

Even if Xia Tian failed to enter the comics industry, he would not hurt him. He is still a theater tycoon and a billionaire. Now the master said these words clearly offend people.

"I'm afraid of a bird. He's a movie, I'm a comic, can he do anything to me?" Huang Yulang glared at him.

Since Xia Tian refused his offer and chose to launch a comic by himself, he felt a thorn in his heart. The achievements Xia Tian has made in the literary and film industry have indeed put a lot of pressure on him.

After all, several novels in summer have received good responses. If they are adapted into comics, they may have very good sales. The Hong Kong comic market is actually very small, especially the readers who buy comics are at the bottom of the society and their money is limited. If they buy the book "Buddha is the Tao", they may not have the money to buy his "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and his "Chinese Hero". This naturally made Huang Yulang a little worried, afraid that his comic sales would be impacted.

Now that he finally lost the comics he saw, Huang Yulang naturally breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the days when he couldn't eat or sleep a few days ago, of course he would beat the dog in the water and drink a celebration wine at this moment.

Besides, although Xia Tian is a billionaire, Huang Yulang is not bad either. He has accumulated tens of millions of wealth over the years of painting comics. Moreover, he is now seeking to go public. It is expected that after going public, he can easily accumulate 400 million Hong Kong dollars in wealth. How can he fight with himself if he is just 100 million of property in Xia Tian? He is not afraid!

When Zhang Wanyou and Qi Wenjie saw Huang Yulang speak rudely about Xia Tian, ​​they couldn't help but worry. But they also knew that the master's behavior has always been arrogant and arrogant, and there was no one at the moment, so they were embarrassed to persuade him again.

After Huang Yulang made a great opinion, he put down the phone and pointed at Zhang Wanyou and Qi Wenjie, saying arrogantly, "I just want to tell all Hong Kong people that the comics industry can't do it just by wanting to do it, so that everyone can't want to come and grab food."

"Master is wise!" Zhang Wanyou and Qi Wenjie looked at each other and said respectfully.

...

The next day, the newspaper published a report that "Summer entered the comics industry and returned in a bad way. "Buddha is the Tao" sold less than 10,000 copies in three days", which made Xia Tian's mood worse.

Because Xia Tian is now a celebrity in the city, every move has attracted much attention. When he entered the comics industry before, many media reported that it was another time for him to create miracles. After all, Xia Tian had already achieved great success in the literary and film industry, so the media was naturally curious about his entry into the comics industry this time.

In addition, Xia Tian’s entry into the comics industry this time is not low-key, and he had already invited Jin Yong to advertise in Ming Pao in advance. "Fantasy World" magazine even started to build momentum a few issues in advance, and Xia Tian himself also announced his expectations that comics can achieve sales of about 30,000 yuan. Therefore, the media naturally paid special attention to this matter and reported it as soon as there is any disturbance.

"It's really good things that don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles away. After a while, all Hong Kong people know about it." Xia Tian couldn't help but say speechlessly when he saw the newspaper's report.

He has done so many things in the past few days, such as spending two million to sign Liu Dehua’s contract for twenty movies, such as cooperating with the well-known director Madon McDonald, etc., and publishing comic books is just one of the small items, and the cost is only a few thousand Hong Kong dollars.

Those newspapers did not report other things, but reported on this matter. It was simply rubbing sand into Xia Tian's eyes, which was so depressing.

"The comic master Huang Yulang received an exclusive interview with this newspaper, saying that not everyone can do comics. I advise Xia Tian to stay away from the comics industry as soon as possible and go back and shoot his own dramas." In the next page, Xia Tian saw Huang Yulang's interview again.

"I hold a big grass, don't I mess with you, don't you mess with me?" After reading this report, Xia Tian slapped the table angrily and said.

In this interview, between the lines, Huang Yulang's contempt for himself, thinking that Xia Tian is not the material for publishing comics at all. He thinks that he knows nothing about comics, publishing comics is simply nonsense, it is also an insult to his peers, and irresponsible to readers.

"There is no grudge in the past, but there is no grudge in the past. You are so treating me?" Xia Tian was very angry.

He didn't expect Huang Yulang to take advantage of the situation and stab him. After all, he had never had a marriage with him before. Even if he didn't sell the adaptation rights of the novel to him, it was just a business. If the transaction fails to be a good man, there is no reason to force the purchase and sell.

"If you ignore me so much, can you see that I can't gain a foothold in the comics industry? Well, since that's the case, I'll let you slap in the face." Xia Tian said confidently.

His character has always been unwilling to admit defeat. The more people look down on him, the more motivated he will be. When he was a Dragon and Tiger Martial Artsman, he was famously unwilling to admit defeat. He was brave enough to try actions that others could not do.

Now that Huang Yulang is obsessed with him, he cannot gain a foothold in the comics industry, he insists on letting Huang Yulang see clearly how he gained a foothold in the comics industry.

"Old Tang, are those five thousand pocket magic weapons ready?" Xia Tian immediately called Tang Congsheng.

"President, I've done more than half of it, and I'll be finished tonight." Tang Congsheng replied quickly. He also read today's newspaper and was scared to death.

Although the report did not add fuel to the fire and sarcastic about the summer's defeat, even the objective report was already quite embarrassing.

Tang Congsheng didn't know how to deal with Xia Tian's anger that might have vented to him. After all, he was the manga club, so he would have to be held accountable if there was any problem.

"Okay, since you said yes, I will see these five thousand comics with magic weapons on the market tomorrow." Xia Tian said coldly.

"Yes, President. If it cannot be completed, I will resign automatically." Tang Congshengli ordered the military order.

"Okay, it's a matter of determination." Xia Tian nodded, "You ask Liang Jiahui to come to my office again."

Yesterday, because I heard that the magazine sales were not smooth, Xia Tian was unhappy, so I didn’t see Liang Jiahui.

Thinking about it afterwards, he felt that he shouldn't act voluntarily and that the outside world should stimulate and dominate his emotions.

So although he is in a bad mood now, he still insists on doing his job.

...

After a while, Liang Jiahui arrived.

"President, are you looking for me?" he asked with anticipation.

"Yes, you can sit down first." Xia Tian smiled, "I have good news to tell you."

When Liang Jiahui heard this, a hint of joy flashed across his face.

Xia Tian just told himself a few days ago that he might help him lift the ban in Taiwan so that he could become an actor again.

Could it be that he has succeeded?!

"President, is my ban lifted?" he asked impatiently.

"Not yet." Xia Tian shook his head.

He and Mr. Chang just collaborated with each other, and the relationship was not very good, so it was not suitable to mention this matter now. He was planning to wait for a while, and when the number of cooperation and deep friendship was too many, he would take the opportunity to mention it again, which would be easier to solve.
Chapter completed!
