Chapter 188 Development Plan
Chapter 188 Development Plan
After Jiang Weimin returned to Qingdao, the days passed slowly in busyness and expectation.
In his spare time, he would often happily call Su Tang who was far away in Jinan.
On the phone, they talked about their recent work and shared interesting things in life.
At this time, Qingdao Publishing House was a busy and orderly scene.
The color printing equipment has a monthly printing capacity of up to 150 million copies.
Such a huge printing volume is more than enough to meet the demand of publishing one volume per month and foreign orders.
The much-anticipated "The Monkey King" comic series has reached the 8th volume, but the release progress has only reached the 5th volume.
At the same time, the printing volume of ordinary printing equipment is even more astonishing, reaching more than 200 million copies per month.
One of the equipment originally ordered from the equipment manufacturer has already been completed, which has undoubtedly injected strong impetus into the development of the publishing house.
In terms of the Special Forces series, there are still two volumes yet to be released.
Jiang Weimin wrote two stories in the Police Dog Attack series on a sudden inspiration.
However, as time went by, Jiang Weimin gradually felt that his inspiration for solving crime stories was beginning to dry up.
Mainly because of the special environment in the 70s, the means of solving the case are limited, and the subsequent stories may be similar.
Including these two stories, Jiang Weimin adapted a total of 9 stories.
Faced with this situation, Jiang Weimin fell into deep thought.
After finishing these two stories, Jiang Weimin decided to end this series of stories.
After the "Police Dog Attack" series of stories ended, Jiang Weimin decided to let Zhang Tianshui paint the ancient crime-solving stories "Young Justice Bao", "Detective Di Renjie" or "Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty".
Although Zhang Tianshui drew the story and all the royalties belonged to Zhang Tianshui, the copyright of the story was still in the hands of Jiang Weimin!
And now the copyright of the "Police Dog Attack" series of stories is also in the hands of Jiang Weimin.
Jiang Weimin and Song Wenqing had in-depth discussions and have concluded the "Police Dog Attack" series. At the same time, they are working on the creation of ancient suspense stories.
Song Wenqing thought about it and agreed. After all, Jiang Weimin also gave a follow-up plan.
Jiang Weimin now has two dynamic and creative teams.
One of the teams devoted itself to helping Jiang Weimin paint "Havoc in Heaven".
They buried themselves in the drawing paper, using delicate brushstrokes and rich colors to gradually reveal the mythological world full of fantasy and adventure.
Another team was tasked with drawing "Drawing Sword".
There are many versions of the work "Drawing Sword", but in Jiang Weimin's heart, the best one is undoubtedly the one starring Li Youbin.
Jiang Weimin carefully recalled every scene in the TV series, trying to capture the image, expression and tone of voice of Li Youbin's version of the character.
He strives to perfectly replicate the scenes in the TV series on drawing paper.
From Li Yunlong's heroic and unrestrained demeanor, to Zhao Gang's calm and resoluteness, from Chu Yunfei's elegant demeanor, to the bravery and fearlessness of many soldiers, each character is portrayed vividly.
Today, the first part of "Bright Sword" has been successfully completed. The pictures seem to bring people back to the war-torn era.
On July 1937, 7, the Anti-Japanese War broke out. Li Yunlong, the commander of the 7st Regiment of the 129th Brigade of the 386th Division, led his troops to fight bravely with excellent tactics and methods, making the enemy terrified.
In the battle with the Japanese Sakata Corps, they successfully broke through from the front and killed Sakata.
Because of disobeying orders on the battlefield, Li Yunlong was transferred to the rear to serve as the director of a clothing factory.
The Japanese army sent a combat squad to raid the independent regiment, but due to poor command by the regiment commander Kong Jie, the entire regiment suffered heavy losses.
The head of the headquarters had to transfer Li Yunlong, who was still under punishment, to serve in the independent regiment.
As for why Jiang Weimin continues to draw comic strips that currently cannot earn foreign exchange and are only liked by Chinese people, Jiang Weimin actually has far-reaching thoughts behind it.
Jiang Weimin has a clear plan and blueprint in his mind. He knows very well that these comic strips, which seem to have limited influence at present, have huge potential in the future.
Jiang Weimin thought that by the 1980s, televisions would have become gradually popular in the city, and the fifth generation of directors would have graduated from school.
Jiang Weimin plans to bring a talented director to Qingdao Publishing House.
He plans to adapt "Drawing Sword", "Father's War of Resistance" and the "Police Dog Attack" series, as well as those comic strips that can be made into TV series, into film and television.
In this way, comic strips and TV dramas are closely tied together to create a new art form and business model.
In this way, Qingdao Publishing House can open up a new source of income and inject strong impetus into the sustainable development of the publishing house.
At the same time, Qingdao Publishing House now has sufficient funds, which provides a solid foundation for Jiang Weimin's plan.
Jiang Weimin decisively suggested continuing to build houses, as he knew that talent was the key to driving business development.
Only by providing good living conditions and working environment for subsequent talent attraction can we attract more outstanding talents to join Qingdao Publishing House.
In this peaceful and busy life, on October 1977, 10, the State Council approved the Ministry of Education's "Opinions on the Enrollment of Higher Education Institutions in 12", officially announcing the immediate resumption of the college entrance examination that year.
This major event is like a bright dawn, illuminating the future path of countless people.
The news spread as quickly as a spring breeze to every corner of the motherland, and the flames of hope were rekindled in the eyes of those people whose dreams had been buried by time.
Under Jiang Weimin's supervision, Jiang Yafei was reviewing all the time. Jiang Yafei and Jiang Weimin's grades were already good.
Moreover, the two of them prepared for this college entrance examination for nearly a year.
As the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread, Jiang Weimin found Song Wenqing.
"President, I want to take part in this college entrance examination!"
"Song Wenqing was slightly startled when he heard this, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
He leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, as if weighing the pros and cons of the matter.
After a while, Song Wenqing slowly said, "Xiao Jiang, you can take the college entrance examination. If you pass, you can consider it as further study. But can you guarantee the progress of the comic book "Havoc in Heaven"?"
The first thing Song Wenqing is considering now is whether Jiang Weimin's going to college will affect Qingdao Publishing House's foreign exchange earnings.
"Boss, no problem. If I pass the exam, I plan to bring both of my teams with me.
We will set up an office of Qingdao Publishing House near the university, so that I can study and draw comic strips at the same time."
"As long as you can ensure the progress of the comic book series 'The Monkey King', I will definitely support you in taking further studies.
And being able to go to college will definitely be of great help to your future development!
Jiang Weimin was touched and delighted. He said gratefully, "Thank you for your support, President."
