Rebirth of the God of Comics

Chen Ze soon got the sales figures of the Digimon machine for a week, and it was Ou Cheng who called to talk in person. Hearing his tone of voice, he was quite happy.

"Is it 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. I never thought it would be so popular."

Chen Ze did his own calculations. If the sale was tens of millions, then he would at least have a share of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. This is just this peripheral, plus the sales of "Digimon" comics, the adaptation fee of animation, and the box office of the possible future theater version, etc., just one "Digimon", Chen Ze can earn hundreds of millions income.

The rewards are so luscious, it's just that I only took a small share of it. If you start your own company to sell your own comics, such as Gundam, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, Ultraman, etc., then don't let yourself directly rush to the rich list.

Chen Ze thought of "Slam Dunk" again. This comic, which has been serialized for nearly a year, has already brought him hundreds of millions of income, and there will be a big explosion in the foreseeable future.

Calculated in this way, Chen Ze's current net worth has exceeded 100 million, and he can be regarded as a small rich man! He was in the previous life, but he never thought that he would have such a rich day.

After calculating the money in this way, Chen Ze became more motivated. In the next period of time, he was as busy as a dog.

The comics and animations of "Slam Dunk" and the comics and animations of "Digimon" are all made by him himself. Fortunately, he opened a small studio, and the operation of this studio is getting smoother and smoother.

In many cases, without Chen Ze saying anything, many problems in comics have been solved. Seeing that soon Chen Ze only needs to draw a sketch, and his assistant will help with the rest. His days of relaxation are coming.

Unexpectedly, the next incident broke his good expectations.

America, New York, Sears Tower!

At the 35th World Comic Convention that just passed, a Chinese person won the Guerns Award and the highest achievement award for global comics.

This award is the highest honor in the global comics industry, and its status is equivalent to the Oscars in the film industry. Although Huaxia's comics industry has developed quite prosperously in recent years, so far, only a few people have won this award.

Among them, the first Chinese was Li Mingyang. When he won this award, he was only 28 years old, an unmatched record.

Today, another Chinese person has won this award in the comics industry with strong enemies. Once again, he won honor for Huaxia and the Chinese people.

Huaxia's reporters had been waiting outside the building for a long time, preparing to pass the news back to China.

"Out!"

I don't know who was the first to discover the Chinese man who just won the Guerns Award——Zhang Jiyi walked out, with a smile on his face, very high-spirited.

This Zhang Jiyi is not a simple character. He is forty years old this year, but he has been in the comics industry for more than ten years. And just like Chen Ze and Li Mingyang, they both caused a huge sensation with their debut comics, and they are called genius cartoonists.

Not only that, before Chen Ze, he was the closest to the ratings of Li Mingyang with his first cartoon adaptation animation, and was once regarded as a cartoonist who had the hope of surpassing Li Mingyang.

Although Zhang Jiyi's comics were quite popular later on,

But the distance from Li Mingyang is getting farther and farther, and there is no chance of surpassing Li Mingyang at all.

But he is still one of the most outstanding cartoonists in the entire Chinese comic industry. Today, he has won the highest award in the global comic industry. It can be said that he has reached the pinnacle of his life. Naturally, he has reason to be high-spirited.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I heard that you have just won the Guerns Award, and you have become another cartoonist in China who has won this highest honor. Here we would like to congratulate you first." A group of Chinese reporters immediately surrounded go up.

"Thank you. This time I want to thank the judges of the conference. It is their fairness and justice that allowed me to win this award." Zhang Jiyi smiled slightly, looking very confident, "Of course, I also want to thank the people of China, thank you My supporters, without your company all the way, I would not have survived to this day."

"You won this award this time, does it mean that you are close to Mr. Li Mingyang in one place again! Before you participated in this conference, Mr. Li Mingyang predicted that this time the Guerns Award is very important. You belong."

A reporter said, Zhang Jiyi has been compared with Li Mingyang by the media since his debut. Although he did not break a single record of Li Mingyang in his long ten-year cartooning career, he was already the closest to Li Mingyang among the cartoonists of his time.

Zhang Jiyi frowned slightly after hearing what the reporter said. When he first debuted, he really wanted to surpass Li Mingyang, but as time went by, he felt more and more that the records Li Mingyang created were beyond human reach.

Although he is proud of his talent in comics, he has to admit that he has no hope of surpassing Li Mingyang in his life, not even close hope.

But these reporters always compare him with Li Mingyang, making his honors, records, etc. look worthless under Li Mingyang's brilliance. It can be said that he has been living under the huge shadow of Li Mingyang in his comic career for more than ten years.

Today, I finally won the world's highest award, and these reporters kept mentioning Li Mingyang. You must know that he won this award at the age of 28, which is almost unprecedented. Compared with him, I am nothing.

But although I was very angry, it was a public place and I couldn't vent it.

Therefore, Zhang Jiyi just smiled slightly and said: "I would like to thank Mr. Li Mingyang for his recognition. I think he is the best cartoonist in this world. To get his recognition is already as good as getting this qualification." The honor of the Enns Award. And his record is too perverted, I don't think people on Earth can break it at all!"

"Actually, it's not that no one can break it. Some time ago, we produced a new cartoonist in China, Chen Ze, who already broke the highest ratings record for Mr. Li Mingyang's first animation work. This has caused a lot of attention in our country. There was an uproar," said a reporter.

Chen Ze?

Although Zhang Jiyi has been staying abroad recently, he still has heard of domestic news. Especially this Chen Ze, who is the most outstanding talent among the new generation of cartoonists, and is rated by the media as a person who may surpass Li Mingyang, how could he not know.

It is true that Chen Ze broke one of Li Mingyang's records, but it was his most inconspicuous one, and he almost broke it back then.

But Li Mingyang is so easy to surpass, he can be said to have achieved the ultimate in all fields of the comics industry. If you want to surpass him, it is estimated that only the god of manga can do it.

"I have heard of Chen Ze and seen some of his works. I admit that he is also a very talented cartoonist, but I don't think he has any hope of surpassing Teacher Li Mingyang."

Zhang Jiyi said that although he thought it was impossible for Chen Ze to surpass Li Mingyang, he was still quite jealous that he could break Li Mingyang's record. What I have worked hard for my whole life but failed to achieve, unexpectedly a younger generation can do it. Especially this junior is still a dropout from an ordinary university, and he is the best student at BJ University.

"But I think what he's doing now is just wasting his talent." Zhang Jiyi changed the subject, "I heard that he's busy drawing cartoons for children recently. You must know that our cartoon industry is a place where if we don't advance, we will fall behind. In this industry, only with solid basic skills and profound cultural qualities can we really make a difference in the comics industry.”

"As far as I know, Chen Ze is just a dropout from an ordinary university. With his accumulation of knowledge and culture, he may be able to create a good comic with a momentary inspiration. But if he wants to make a difference in the comic industry, It is simply impossible. His recent behavior has also verified my thinking. Instead of thinking about how to go further, he ran to draw cartoons for elementary school students. Let alone surpassing Teacher Li Mingyang, I am afraid that I will soon be in the comics industry. I won't see him anymore."

All the reporters present did not expect that Zhang Jiyi would say such a thing at the end. This is a big deal. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Some even thought of the title .
