Unexpectedly, it is You Man magazine, the founder of the original source forum for obituaries, which has officially launched a large-scale impact on the original comic book market since 2004.
Accurately speaking, You Man's predecessor, Time Comics, published eight issues, which is an original comic magazine, but the publisher Jincheng keenly found that the official publication supported by the "5 155 Department" was only superficial. Under such circumstances, if there is no official background, it will only end in a bleak way. You should first make an animation information magazine with a good market (it was an animation information publication at that time). Therefore, although the initial positioning was an animation information magazine, Yuman has been paying attention to original animation since its publication. By the end of 2003, You Man magazine had completed the accumulation before its next move, so what about You Man in the first half of the magazine? Comic 100 has been published gradually in China-presumably all this was planned by the shrewd boss Jincheng. "
Magnificent turn
After Youman spent several years focusing on Japanese animation information and became famous, the development steps of getting involved in original comics were very steady: attracting famous domestic authors to create manuscripts with a high remuneration far higher than that of similar publications, relying on the magazine itself and staying away from the distribution sales and readers of "5 155 series". For the authors who publish You Man's works, a great increase in popularity has undoubtedly become more important than obtaining higher economic returns. Make full use of magazine resources to promote various stars for comic writers in various flexible ways; Hosting the "China Original Animation Golden Dragon Award", a large-scale event with the highest specification in the domestic industry every year; Produce singles for popular serial works in magazines, hold an author's autograph session, actively plan and develop follow-up industries, and package and create momentum for popular authors as a whole ... The purpose of this fast and efficient operation mode is quite clear: to make cartoons that look good and sell well, which belong to China people, commercial cartoons and high-quality original cartoons.
Today, You Man has a more resounding name-You Man culture, and it has expanded rapidly within two years. Xin Lei, a bimonthly youth literature magazine, Science Fiction, a bimonthly science fiction illustrated magazine, Comic World, and other sub-magazines, as well as various comics, selected reading materials, novels of idol writers, picture books and COS.
During the period when the domestic original comic industry was in a comprehensive depression and was in the most embarrassing situation, You Man culture changed from the early comic information to the mainstay of the original comic market in China, which can not be ignored. It can only be said that this is the result of the dual role of "strategy" and "opportunity", which is reasonable and reasonable-and for other colleagues struggling on the verge of life and death, all this should have enough reference significance! Up to now, the only magazines in China that publish original cartoons are Long Wen, Juvenile Comics, You Man (Series), Comic King and Comic Guest published by Yin Zhi Journal Group in 2006. We can't estimate what will happen in the future, just as we can't estimate what China's original cartoons will look like today after 1995 became popular 12 years later.
The bleak situation of China's original cartoons can't be concealed by any superficial virtual fire. Yes, all this makes us feel embarrassed, which makes all confident cartoonists become silent in 12 years-however, we should also know that in fact, people who love comics only start more practical efforts and more rational attempts after falling heavily: newcomers who are as enthusiastic as the original cartoonists are still struggling; The news that a number of original comic magazines are about to be published often fills the ears; Comic book publishers, comic book editors and writers have become rational, and they are all quietly burning for making truly high-quality commercial cartoons. The cooperation between overseas animation publishing giants and domestic booksellers is also low-key and positive ... all this is the best proof.
The road is not finished, and the blood is not cold, because as long as the enthusiasm in the chest is not extinguished, the dream will not be extinguished!
Well, that's it. This article is coming to an end. I hope this series of articles with tens of thousands of words in the past six months will not bring you boring complaints and lectures. If readers and friends can accept the information and ideas that the author wants to convey behind the text, it will be the author's greatest honor.
