Chapter 843 Outdated?

He read less comics like Gong Nanbei and Nanxian in his previous lifetime, and he had no money to buy them. He just gave some ideas to the comics department and asked them to draw according to the ideas they gave them.

Gong Nanbei read it very seriously, and the comic book was not thick, so Gong Nanbei soon finished reading the first volume.

The story in the first volume tells the story of the hero being a weapon group tycoon, kidnapped by KB members and asked for ransom, and asked to help them make weapons.

The male protagonist created the first steel armor under extremely bad circumstances!

Just like in his previous life, he was also replaced with an energy heart because he was hit by shrapnel, which is also the source of his strength.

After reading the first volume, Gong Nanbei was very confused. Whether it was the plot or the style of the comic, the framework was very good. How could this kind of comic not have sales? Is it a promotional issue?

The other one, Wang Mong Kok, also finished watching "Spider-Man". After the two looked at each other, Wang Mong Kok asked in confusion: "How are you?"

"I can't find any fault"

“So, it looks pretty good”

The two of them became even more confused and read the second volume one after another. Not long after, the second volume was finished.

Gong Nanbei frowned again, this second volume also looks very good!

Let’s look at Wang Mong Kok’s expression, obviously he should be good, so what is the problem?

They waited until they finished reading the three volumes, but the two of them found no problem.

"This style, quality and plot are all good, how come there is no sales?"

Wang Mong Kok was also confused and said, "Yes."

"Where are in those small countries?"

"Of course it's the best-selling in those small countries, but the best-selling ones are the comics after the adaptation of the comics."

Gong Nanbei nodded slowly, then pressed the call bell again, and after waiting for Zhao Dezhu to come in, Gong Nanbei spoke directly.

"Dezhu, go and notify the managers of the publicity department, marketing department, and sales department to see me. If the manager is not here, please find the supervisor. At least one person will come to each department."

"Why"

Zhao Dezhu agreed, Gong Nanbei pointed to the sofa in the office and said, "Wait for a while, ask the sales department of the marketing department."

Wang Mong Kok nodded, picked up the "Iron Man" in Gong Nanbei's hand, walked to the sofa and sat down, and started to watch quietly.

Not long after, the managers of the three departments arrived at Gong Nanbei's office.

Gong Nanbei and Wang Mong Kok sat together, stretched out their hands to the three of them, signaling them to sit opposite each other. After waiting for the three of them to sit down, Gong Nanbei first looked at the sales manager and asked: "Sales in "Iron Man" and "Spider-Man" are in a downturn?"

The sales manager was a little nervous and nodded slowly and said, "Yes, Mr. Gong, the comics in the superhero series are not very prosperous."

"Tell me about sales and compare the highest sales of comics in the same period!"

"Yes, our most-selling comic is "Beast King" and the sales are more than 70 times that of heroic comics like "Iron Man""

After hearing this, Gong Nanbei took a breath of air conditioning, more than seventy times? This is like a joke!

Gong Nanbei turned to look at the marketing department and asked, "Why is that "The Beast King of Changes" so popular?"

The marketing manager pushed his eyes and said, "Because of the purchase group, our main purchase group of comics in China is nine to fifteen years old, and children of that age tend to transform animals."

"We have conducted two surveys before. Hero comics are a bit outdated. The reason for the better sales abroad is that we almost only sell them in some small countries, and they have no other choice for comics."

"We have also thought about improving it, and finally thought that the best way to increase sales is comic revision! But after the meeting, we thought comic revision was not cost-effective, because the sales and popularity of these comics could not even enter the top twenty in the comics department!"

"If we have this resource, we can invest in "The Beast King of Changes", which will create more profits for our company."

Gong Nanbei understood as soon as he heard this. It was like the novels in front of him were adapted into film and television works, and he kept making a frustration while playing popular IPs.

But he just couldn't figure out how superhero comics could be unpopular?

Gong Nanbei looked at the Propaganda Department and asked, "What do you think?"

The manager of the publicity department said: "Mr. Gong, our usual publicity of comics can only be said to be average, that is, we can promote some voices on some websites and sales websites."

Gong Nanbei nodded. Comics are now niche, and they are incomparable to movies, songs, etc., and the focus of publicity is definitely not on this aspect.

"What about the novel department?"

"The novel department is developing quite steadily. We have not promoted it too much, but have just made some small advertisements on some browsers and search engines."

"Now we are creating two phenomenal novels, one of which is quite good. We are working on the later stages of the research and changing it into a film and television work."

After hearing this, Gong Nanbei nodded again. Through conversations with three departments, Gong Nanbei knew why "Iron Man" and other sales were not good.

Because they are already out of date!

Gong Nanbei is thirty-three this year, and "Iron Man" and "Spider-Man" are things that only his age group like. Now children prefer simple and straightforward comics.

People of his age have old age and young people, and they rarely have the opportunity to read comics, let alone buy them.

Gong Nanbei was trapped in thinking, and no one else dared to speak.

Only when Wang Mong Kok flipped the pages of the book, he spoke after three or four minutes.

"I am quite optimistic about these series. According to my previous idea, I will try my best to make comics popular so that everyone knows that there is such a movie, and then start to adapt to movies and TV series."

After hearing what Gong Nanbei said, the others took it seriously.

Gong Nanbei continued: "To be honest, I want to create a huge hero world. This will be our company's new five-year plan after the "Resident Evil" series and the "Matrix" series!"

The three managers were a little uneasy when they heard this. No one knew how successful these two series were, and now these two comics are actually the plans for the next five years?

The three of them looked at each other, and finally the marketing manager said, "Mr. Gong, from the current market environment, I don't think this is a good decision."

The manager of the publicity department rubbed his temples and said, "Mr. Gong, if possible, we can invest some money first, change the comics and comics into animations, and try them out in a small range first."

Gong Nanbei looked at the last sales department again. The sales department thought for a while and said, "I think the same as the marketing department. Just from the perspective of comics, we have more themes suitable for comic modification."

Wang Mong Kok threw down the comic book and said, "Look at Mr. Gong, you go back and discuss with the comic department. I will see the comic adapted works within a month!"
