Long Tao smiled slightly: "Hello, we are invited internally, my name is Long Tao." "It turns out to be Mr. Long Tao, please come with me..." The staff took Long Tao towards the hall. Long Tao and Aragaki Yiyi kept trying to find out what was going on in front of them. Although it was said before the exchange meeting that there would not be many people, Long Tao took a quick look and saw that there were about 50 people in front of him. Adding in the people who came later, Long Tao thought there should be about or people. Long Tao felt that this number was actually quite large. This kind of private exchange meeting seemed to be different from what was advertised. Long Tao is not very clear about the scale of participants in the Japanese comics exchange conference. In fact, normal exchange meetings usually have around 200 to 500 people. Some larger exchange meetings even have 1000 to 2000 people. For example, there are less than 100 people in this meeting, which is too small for an exchange meeting. It is basically an internal private exchange meeting and is not open to the public. Even if it is basically all practitioners, most of the time there are more than this number. Since Long Tao had never participated in such an exchange meeting before, and had he learned the basic information of these exchanges, Long Tao felt that the number of people in front of him was a bit too much.
Long Tao took a quick look and found that most of the people who came to participate in this exchange meeting were older. The vast majority of people are over 35 years old, and there are even several who look to be in their 80s. The youngest people in the audience were Long Tao and Aragaki Yi Yi, who seemed a little out of place with the other people who came to attend the exchange meeting. As soon as Long Tao and Xinyuan Yiyi walked in, they noticed everyone's attention. Originally, considering Long Tao and Aragaki Yi Yi's situation in the comics circle, the two were not famous at all. The reason why everyone paid attention to them was because they were relatively young. Being young is fine, but being too young will attract other people's attention. Everyone thought that some great new author had come to the comics circle, but they never expected that Long Tao and Aragaki Yi Yi were just here to watch. Of course, this comic exchange meeting is quite important to Long Tao. There is another particularly important reason why Long Tao came to participate in this comic exchange meeting: to make connections. Long Tao's comic One Punch Man will be on the market soon. As a newcomer, even if the quality of the comics he got is very good, if Long Tao wants to develop in this industry for a long time and make more money, he must make relevant connections. No matter which circle you are in, connections are very important. Connections not only represent resources, but also represent the operation and development in this industry. In many cases, good quality is just a basic starting point. If you don’t have relevant connections, if you touch other people’s interests and cakes, you will often be directly targeted. This is the fundamental reason why Long Tao signed a contract with KY Animation Club. Chapter 239 Why are you here? As a newcomer, Long Tao must make friends if he wants to enter the comics industry. The comics industry is a relatively short industry chain, and because it is short, it is easy to form a monopoly. Comic hairstyles require many steps. But one of the most important steps is the channel. If you don’t have a good distribution channel, it is very difficult to achieve success in this industry. It is no exaggeration to say that unless you have achieved corresponding results online and other capital actively comes to you, it is very difficult to achieve success in this industry without a good distribution channel.
First, as a new author, others don’t know the basic quality of the novel and comics, so they are unwilling to take the risk of publishing them. Even if others know that this novel or comic book has good eyesight, how can you sell it? This is a big problem. What's more, if you are not famous, how to sell it is also a problem. Even if others know that the quality is good, because you are a newcomer, when others want to underwrite it, they will definitely give you the lowest level. They are unwilling to take risks. Taking all the above factors into consideration, it is very difficult for a new comic book author to achieve success in this industry. Even if everyone is willing to go through the above processes, it will not work without sufficient distribution channels, because the channels are physical stores, and physical stores are sales stores. There is a huge purchasing base offline. If these physical stores are unwilling to give good positions for exposure and recommendation, and there is no good sales channel, it will be difficult to expand even if the quality is very good. These are some of the most serious problems that new authors generally encounter. Combined with these problems, it is very difficult for a new author to achieve success in this industry. Long Tao chose ky anime club and signed a contract for this work, so he doesn't need to worry about these problems. ky anime club can basically help him solve all the problems that Long Tao can think of. What Long Tao needs to do is to show his strength outside of ky anime club's process and empower this comic as much as possible. Whether it is an exposure card or something else, as long as it can promote the exposure of this comic, it is very important to Long Tao. This is the core purpose that Long Tao wants to achieve today. Ky Animation Club has its own channel resources and connections. Long Tao doesn't need to worry too much about these things in the circle. Long Tao came here to try his luck and see if he can make more connections to help promote his comic. This is also the fundamental reason why Long Tao brought more than 10 One Punch Man comics with him when he came. On the one hand, Long Tao fulfilled Aragaki Yi Yi's dream, and on the other hand, he was able to do some of his own things, which was simply killing two birds with one stone. This is why Long Tao asked for leave from school. Under normal circumstances, schools are reluctant to grant students leave because schools consider learning to be a very important and sacred course. But the reason Long Tao used was particularly appropriate, which was the reason at hand. When the school heard that Long Tao was going to attend an exchange meeting with Master Akira Toriyama, especially that Long Tao had become a comic writer, they were very happy and they immediately approved Long Tao's request for leave. On the one hand, it is because Master Akira Toriyama is particularly famous, and on the other hand, it is because Long Tao himself is a comic writer. Regardless of whether Long Tao has achieved any results, this reason is very legitimate. What's more, if Long Tao achieves success and becomes a comic writer, people will also mention this school when they mention Long Tao in the future. This is the school's consideration. It's nothing more than a simple question of a leave note. Why not do so many benefits in exchange for a leave note? And when Long Tao left, the school also told him that if he needed help and support, he could contact the school directly. Long Tao expressed his gratitude for the school's kindness and said that he did not have any additional demands for the time being. Closer to home. When the people in the hall saw Long Tao coming, they were all very curious, especially Long Tao and Xin Yuan Yi Yi who were sitting in the fifth and sixth seats in the hall. This made everyone speculate about Long Tao's identity. They felt that Long Tao's identity was definitely extraordinary.
If Long Tao's identity was not extraordinary, he would not have been able to sit in such a good position. At this moment, Long Tao saw an old acquaintance of his. Long Tao didn't expect that Okita Xuehui would come, which surprised him. According to Long Tao's original assumption, Okita Xuehui was so busy recently, you shouldn't come to participate in this exchange meeting. Long Tao never expected that Okita Xuehui would come. But now Long Tao felt a little embarrassed because he didn't know how to explain the identities of the two people. When Long Tao called Okita Xuehui before, he said that his friend wanted to come to study. Long Tao did not directly say that this was his girlfriend. According to Aragaki Ii's personality and the way she speaks and does things, it will definitely expose that the two are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. This makes Long Tao a little embarrassed, because if Okita Xuehui finds out, will Okita Xuehui think that he has deceived him? Originally, this was a small matter for Long Tao, and there was nothing wrong with admitting that the two were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. However, Long Tao had thought that when he was trying to conquer Okita Yukie, it would be more likely that he would succeed if he stated that he was single, so he did not reveal their identities. Now that this has happened, Long Tao feels a little embarrassed. If he doesn't admit the identities of the two, that would be deception, and if he admits their identities that would also be deception. No matter what I do, it's not quite right. Long Tao thinks that he should take it one step at a time. If it really doesn't work, he will just admit the identities of the two. Although it will be more difficult to admit their identities, it is better than directly fooling others. Fooling and deceiving will backfire. Sometimes it's better to be honest. Long Tao walked over slowly with Aragaki Yi Yi. Long Tao asked curiously, "Sister, why are you here?" "I had been planning to attend this exchange meeting. On the one hand, it was to promote the One Punch Man comics, and on the other hand, it was to see if I could reach a collaboration with Master Akira Toriyama. I forgot to tell you that Master Akira Toriyama is my uncle." Long Tao was stunned. He didn't expect that the two of them had this identity. When Long Tao saw the positions of the two people before, he originally wondered where did Okita Yukiei get her strength from? She actually got such a good position. According to the strength shown by Okita Yukiei, she shouldn't have gotten such a good position. Long Tao never thought that Okita Yukiei and Master Toriyama Akira were related. If that's the case, then it makes perfect sense. Chapter 240 A Very Powerful Woman At the same time, this can also verify one thing. That is why KY Animation Club was able to grow so fast later on. Long Tao felt that this was probably related to Akira Toriyama. Toriyama Akira has such good resources, and he is also very famous. He can provide too much help to Cangshan Miyuki. It is normal for Cangshan Miyuki to be able to quickly promote the development of KY Animation Club because of this relationship. ... "Who is this?" Aoyama Miyuki looked at Aragaki Yiyi beside Long Tao and asked curiously. In fact, when Cangshan Miyuki saw Aragaki Yiyi, she knew that Aragaki Yiyi must be the friend that Long Tao mentioned when he called yesterday. However, because Cangshan Miyuki respected Long Tao and Aragaki Yiyi more, she asked this question. When Long Tao heard Cangshan Miyuki's question, he smiled and said, "Sister, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Aragaki Yiyi."
"Aragaki Iyi. This is my contract partner for that comic, and also one of my sisters. She is currently the general manager of +Ky Animation Company, Aoyama Miyuki." Long Tao began to introduce the two people to each other. Since Cangshan Miyuki has already opened her mouth to warm up, Long Tao must not play dumb. And with Cangshan Miyuki's intelligence, she will definitely be able to see the problem at a glance. In this case, Long Tao's best choice is to tell the truth. What's more, Long Tao is Aragaki Yi Yi's girlfriend. If Long Tao acts crazy and stupid, then even if Aragaki Yi Yi doesn't say anything, she must have some thoughts in her heart. In this case... Long Tao must also respect Aragaki Yi Yi. This is the truest thought in Long Tao’s heart. When Aoyama Miyuki heard Long Tao introduce this as his girlfriend, she was slightly surprised and asked around about Aragaki Yi Yi. Then, he slowly walked to Long Tao's side and stretched out his hand: "Hello, I am the editor-in-chief and general manager of Cangshan Miyuki KY Animation Club." "Hello, my name is Aragaki Yiyi, and I'm currently a college student. I'm a comics lover and I really like comics. I hope to become a great comics author in the future." Aragaki Yiyi felt that Aoyama Miyuki's strong temperament was still a little bit suppressed. It was only because Long Tao was by her side that Aragaki Yiyi mustered up the courage to say so. have to say... Cangshan Miyuki is worthy of being the general manager of KY Animation Club. This trend is really enough. For people like Aragaki Yiyi who have never left the campus, if Long Tao was not around, they would definitely be frightened. Cangshan Miyuki is very curious about Long Tao. After Cangshan Miyuki signed the contract with Long Tao, she did try to get information about him, but because Long Tao was such a homebody, she got very little information. Cangshan Miyuki only knew that Long Tao was a sophomore student who usually stayed in school and did not show any personal hobbies. Because the time was so short, Cangshan Miyuki didn't even know that Long Tao had two cars. Cangshan Miyuki was very curious before. At Long Tao's age, he should be particularly fond of dating. She had never heard Long Tao talk about relevant information before, and she thought Long Tao didn't have a girlfriend. Now after seeing Long Tao's girlfriend, Cangshan Miyuki couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Long Tao prefers girls with big breasts? Of course, this is just Cangshan Miyuki's guess. Cangshan Miyuki is not sure what kind of girl Long Tao likes. "It's good to like comics. Long Tao is so powerful in the comics industry. You will definitely be able to learn a lot from her. Keep up the good work." "Okay, I'll do my best." ... The meeting was still more than 20 minutes away from starting. Cangshan Miyuki took Long Tao aside and said seriously, "Yesterday, the teacher you mentioned had added my contact information. I roughly told her about our business ideas. In addition... I plan to promote your comic in this way. What do you think?" Miyuki Aoyama roughly told Long Tao about her operational ideas. After listening to this operation idea, Long Tao knew that it was a relatively traditional and ancient operation method. In other words, it was nothing more than hype and spending money. However, compared with the usual operations and spending money, the current operating idea is still more eye-catching. What Aoyama Miyuki said was that she wanted to use the fact that Long Tao came from the mysterious East as a gimmick. In addition, Long Tao himself has kung fu skills, and the comic One Punch Man incorporates a lot of kung fu elements as the finishing touch. It has to be said that the fact that Miyuki Aoyama was able to bring KY Animation Club to such a height was definitely inseparable from Miyuki Aoyama's ability. If ordinary people with mediocre abilities encountered such a thing, they would simply marvel at Long Tao's strength, and would not combine this information with hype and publicity. As soon as Cangshan Miyuki got this information, the first thing she thought of was to combine the key points of these operations with the specific information. This kind of ability to capture hot spots and stimulate market promotion and operation is relatively strong.
Especially the fact that Long Tao knows Kung Fu. In most Japanese comics, the protagonists will use a certain amount of Chinese Kung Fu. It's just that most people don't really believe that Chinese Kung Fu exists. After Aragaki Yi Yi did this, she was able to not only promote Chinese Kung Fu, but also promote Long Tao's One Punch Man comics while promoting Chinese Kung Fu. Many times... A hype plan that is itself a hot topic can often achieve unexpected communication effects, and there is no need to pay additional advertising fees for subsequent communication.
