ps: I want to hear more of your voices, I want to receive more of your suggestions, now search the WeChat public account "qdread" and pay attention to it, and give more support to "Big Comics"! The effect of "Soul of Chess" has already begun to appear.

Two days later, a new issue of "Weekly Boys" was released. Although there was only one episode of "Soul of Chess" serialized this time, Phoenix Company, which was already prepared, printed 300,000 copies on the basis of last week. .

Everyone's eyes are attracted by this release. Is the popularity of "Soul of Chess" in the first week accidental? Whether it can continue further, or will it cool down, this week's release can provide a lot of reference information.

Then, something shocking happened.

On the day "Weekly Boys" was released, all the magazines in Ninghai, Yanjing and Tokyo were sold out. In the next two days, even nationwide, the 300,000 additional copies of "Weekly Boys" seemed to have not increased. Stone City Sea disappeared.

There was an uproar from all walks of life, and the critics couldn't sit still.

"A masterpiece! The best-selling of "Soul of Chess" is definitely a sign of becoming a masterpiece!", "Phoenix Company is going to release another top-notch comic! And it's a comic about Go!?", "Mr. I haven't released a new manga this year, so I didn't expect it to be amazing!"

Phoenix Company has once again become the focus of the media. The great potential of "Soul of Chess" has even caused some evaluation companies to release reports that shocked the world. In these reports, Phoenix Company's future development speed is actually ranked among the top ten companies in China. bit!

"The potential of "Soul of Chess" must not be underestimated. He Xi has already announced that it will have an animated version. Therefore, "Soul of Chess" is likely to copy the successful experience of "Detective Conan" and "Little Ghost" and become the mainstay animation of Phoenix Company. bring huge benefits to it.”

Since the animation version of "Detective Conan" was launched, the benefits it has brought to Phoenix have exceeded hundreds of millions, and its broadcast mode with no end date can bring a steady stream of benefits for a long time in the future. The total value It's hard to estimate.

"Pokemon" is even more exaggerated. The value of its peripherals and game copyrights exceeds that of "Detective Conan". The influence and continuity of animation are also increasing, and it can also maintain the benefits for a long time in the future, and the value is higher.

These two works are known as the two pillars of Phoenix Company. It can even be said that if any of these two works spread to the outside world, it can create the third largest comic company in China. And their lasting impact. It also made Phoenix Company familiar to every audience.

And now, the appearance of "Soul of Chess" once again makes people see the shadows of these two films. It is also a long-form manga, the serialization has been very popular since the beginning, and the news of animation has been confirmed,

Who can be sure that it will not become the mainstay of the third part of the Phoenix Company?

"Zhongxia Company should make psychological preparations as soon as possible. The release time of Phoenix Company's next feature-length animation will be a turning point in the form of the two companies. Now Zhongxia Company has "Blame Boy" and "Detective Sherlock", However, they can't beat Phoenix's two feature-length animations, if Phoenix's third animation..."

Before the launch of "Detective Sherlock", China's three most popular animations ranked "Monster", "Detective Conan", and "Fire Boy". Now that "Detective Conan" is temporarily over, "Detective Sherlock" ranks Behind "The Flame Boy".

On the surface, Zhongxia Company has an absolute advantage in the animation industry at the moment. But so far. Nobody believed Sherlock could defeat Conan yet. That is to say, if "Detective Conan" resumes serialization, the top two of China's popular animations are likely to still be dominated by Phoenix. And Zhongxia occupies the 3rd and 4th positions.

This is not too miserable in comparison. Zhongxia Company still has an advantage in the number of animations and other aspects.

But what if Phoenix released a third hit animation? The spread and influence of the animation is enormous. If Phoenix's third full-length animation is launched and surpasses "Fire Boy", then the top three popular animations in China will all become works of Phoenix.

No matter where it is ranked. The top three are all important indicators, once the top three are monopolized. No matter how many animations Zhongxia Company has, their influence can only be lost to Phoenix.

by that time. With the three animations, Phoenix Company can be as stable as Mount Tai, but Zhongxia Company has no chance to stand up again!

"Once the three full-length and popular animations are successful, the Phoenix Company will remain invincible! Unless minor accidents such as internal turmoil or social unrest occur in the company, even if all the cartoonists are gone, these three animations will still be able to survive. Keep the Phoenix alive."

This is the future of Phoenix, and it looks bright. Animation is the commanding height of the comics industry, and once Zhongxia Company loses its position on the commanding height, no matter how hard it struggles and works hard, its influence will be further and further pulled away by Phoenix Company until it is completely thrown away.

"The only chance for Zhongxia is now!"

Several evaluation companies came to the same conclusion: Zhongxia Company wants the future, and the only chance is now, which is this year! After this year, "Detective Conan" will return. If Zhongxia doesn't make much progress, its future will be in danger.

"Before "Detective Conan" returns, Zhongxia Company must ensure that there is an animation that can surpass it and stabilize Huaxia's second ranking. Only in this way will it be possible not to be occupied by Phoenix Company in the top three."

As soon as these evaluation reports came out, many people were in an uproar. This was the first time that the world saw the difficulties faced by Zhongxia, and it was also the first time that so many evaluation companies were so unfavorable to Zhongxia.

Of course, the report caused an uproar in Zhongxia Company. Some people thought it was all nonsense, but more people felt the pressure—no one, including the shareholders, could ignore these reports.

"Those reports are correct. Time is not on us. Phoenix Company's "One Piece" has always been a time bomb. Mr. Dong, we invited you out in such a hurry last year. You also know the reason why "One Piece" is in it."

When a shareholder was calling Dong Ding, he mentioned "One Piece". In fact, the shareholders of Zhongxia Company had discovered the danger earlier than the media and evaluation companies—"One Piece".

It has surpassed "Detective Conan" in terms of comic sales. Although Phoenix Company is very low-key and silent, and even He Xi rarely holds "One Piece" activities, it is the real and dangerous killer.

Once "One Piece" is animated. Phoenix Company will win the upper hand - so Dong Ding hastily stepped onto the stage, just to increase Zhongxia's influence in animation before the animation of "One Piece". However, he hasn't really achieved this goal yet, and he didn't expect "Soul of Chess" to come out again!

"I understand, but now Phoenix has two options for full-length animation, and we have neither..." Dong Ding frowned, feeling very troubled: "I don't plan to focus on the confrontation of "Soul of Chess" .For the current plan, the most important thing for the company is the animation. If the animation loses, we will have no chance."

"But Mr. Li, I can do many things. But I can't control the animation story."

He complained to the shareholders that Dong Ding’s approach was not wrong. He introduced star voice actors, improved the soundtrack of animation, won over the TV station with the highest animation ratings, and snatched the audience of “Detective Conan” with “Detective Sherlock”... From the perspective of policy , he believes that no one can do better than him.

Dong Ding's policy has maximized the advantages of Zhongxia Company. The only thing they lack is "an animation story that can surpass Phoenix Company", but this story is really beyond Dong Ding's control.

He has tried his best to find it, whether it is in the world of comics, novels, or even some TV series, Dong Ding has looked for it. He didn't find any works that had the confidence to defeat He Xi, which made him very helpless.

The shareholder surnamed Li naturally understood this, and he said with emotion: "That He Xi is a genius who is rare in a hundred years. We are really unlucky. We thought that the comics industry should be a blue ocean, but there is such a shark in it." ..."

In recent years, the shareholders of Zhongxia have regretted their choices many times. If they knew that He Xi could grow to this level, they would have pulled him over even if they shared some shares!

Back then, Zhongxia had two choices. One is to win over He Xi with shares and management rights, and the other is to acquire Phoenix Company while retaining the shares of Xu Jing and He Xi. These two methods were actually feasible at the beginning. The latter, in particular, can be quite successful.

It's a pity that Zhongxia only wanted to buy Phoenix wholly. Looking down on the original shareholders of Phoenix Company, this is not successful.

"It's useless to regret it now." Dong Ding smiled bitterly. He was also one of the decision makers back then, and part of the shares in Zhongxia Company belonged to him. When Zhong Xia wanted to buy Phoenix, he didn't want a half-finished product, so he voted against it.

But it’s too late to regret it now. According to the current situation, the possibility of acquisition must have disappeared. The money in the hands of Phoenix Company can’t even be used up, and the prospects are even more prosperous. Xu Jing and He Xi will definitely not share it with other people. that power.

But that's a lot of people...

"Mr. Dong, you said that assuming there are only a few shareholders in Zhongxia Company, is there a chance for Zhongxia to merge with Phoenix?" the shareholder surnamed Li* suddenly said 'inadvertently', Dong Ding's eyes flashed coldly, this Thoughts really collided with him.

The merger of Zhongxia and Phoenix is ​​Dong Ding's best choice after he can't afford Zhongxia. And after talking with Meng Huo, he believes that this choice is very likely to be realized. If Zhongxia's development is unfavorable, the shareholders will naturally leave the market, and Dong Ding will have the opportunity to acquire more shares.

Dong Ding has strong selfish desires and unwillingness. He has struggled for decades for novels, but in the end he got nothing but money.

What he wants is status, a status behind the scenes of the industry. If Zhongxia and Phoenix merge, he can become one of the behind-the-scenes families that control the comics and share the profits of the entire industry. Three such families are enough.

Dong Ding doesn't want anyone else to share that cake, but it seems that Zhongxia's other shareholders are not stupid either.
