Chen Ze also quickly got the weekly sales figures of the Digimon machine, and it was Ou Cheng who personally called to talk. Judging from the tone of his voice, he was in a very happy mood. "7.86 million in the first week?" After hanging up the phone, Chen Ze thought to himself, "There is no pressure to sell tens of millions in total. I didn't expect it to be so popular." Chen Ze did his own calculations After all, if it sells for tens of millions, then he will get at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of shares. This is just this peripheral product, plus the sales of the "Digimon" comics, the animation adaptation fee, and the box office of the possible future theatrical version, etc., just one "Digimon" can earn Chen Ze hundreds of millions. of income. The returns are staggeringly rich, and this is just a small share of it. If you open your own company to sell peripherals of your own comics, such as Gundam, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, Ultraman, etc., then you won't be able to rush directly 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 in revenue, and will have a big explosion in the foreseeable future. Calculating this, Chen Ze is now worth over 100 million, and he can be considered a small rich man! In his previous life, he never thought that he would be so rich one day. After calculating the money like this, Chen Ze became more motivated. For the next period of time, he was extremely busy. The comics and animations of "Slam Dunk" and the comics and animations of "Digimon" all had to be done by him personally. Fortunately, he opened a small studio, and the operation of this studio became smoother and smoother. Many times, many comic problems have been solved without Chen Ze saying anything else. It seems that soon Chen Ze will only need to draw a sketch, and his assistant will help with the rest. His relaxed days are coming. Unexpectedly, the next incident broke his good expectations. The United States, New York, Sears Tower! At the 35th World Comics Convention that just passed, a Chinese won the Gernes Award and the highest achievement award in global comics. This award is the highest honor in the global comic industry, and its status is equivalent to the Oscar Award in the film industry. Although China's comic industry has developed quite prosperously in recent years, only a few people have received this award so far. The first Chinese among them was Li Mingyang. When he won this award, he was only 28 years old, a record that no one could match. Today, another Chinese person won this award in the comics industry with many powerful enemies. Once again, we won honor for China and the Chinese people. Journalists from China have been waiting outside the building for a long time, preparing to spread the news back to the country. "Come out!" I don't know who was the first to discover the Chinese who just won the Gernes Award - Zhang Jiyi came out with a smile on his face and was very high-spirited. This Zhang Jiyi is not a simple character. He is forty years old and has been involved in the comics industry for more than ten years. And like Chen Ze and Li Mingyang, they both caused a huge sensation with their first comics and were called genius cartoonists. Not only that, before Chen Ze, his animation adapted from the first comic was the closest to Li Mingyang in ratings, and he was once regarded as a cartoonist who hoped to surpass Li Mingyang. Although later on, although all of Zhang Jiyi's comics were quite popular, he became farther and farther away from Li Mingyang, and there was no chance of surpassing Li Mingyang. But he is still one of the most outstanding cartoonists in the entire Chinese cartoon industry. Today he has won the highest award in the global cartoon industry. It can be said that he has reached the pinnacle of his life. Naturally, he has reason to be high-spirited. "Hello, Teacher Zhang, I heard that you just won the Gernes Award and became another cartoonist in China who has won this highest honor. 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 impartiality that allowed me to win this award." Zhang Jiyi smiled slightly, looking very confident. "Of course, I also want to thank all the Chinese people for thanking me." Supporters, I wouldn’t have been able to get through this without your support.” “This time you won this award, does it mean that you are close to Mr. Li Mingyang again when you participate in this event? Before the conference, teacher Li Mingyang predicted that this time the Gernes Award must be yours. "A reporter said, Zhang Jiyi has been compared with Li Mingyang by the media since his debut. Although in his long comic career of more than ten years, he has not broken one of Li Ming's achievements.Although he has no records, he is already the closest person 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 had the intention of surpassing Li Mingyang, but as time went by, he felt more and more that the difficulty of the records Li Mingyang created was simply not something that humans could achieve. Although he is proud of his comic talent, he has to admit that he has no hope of surpassing Li Mingyang in this life, or even getting close. But these reporters always compare him with Li Mingyang, making his honors, records, etc. look useless under the brilliance of Li Mingyang. It can be said that throughout his more than ten years of comic career, he has been living in the huge shadow of Li Mingyang. 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 and unprecedented. Compared with him, I am nothing. But although I was very angry, this was a public place and I couldn't vent it out. 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 the world. To be recognized by him is as good as mine." The honor of the Enns Award. And his record is so abnormal that I don’t think anyone on earth can break it.” “Actually, it’s not like no one can break it. We had a new cartoonist named Chen in China some time ago! "Ze" has already broken the highest ratings record of Mr. Li Mingyang's first animation work, which caused an uproar in our country," said a reporter. Chen Ze? Although Zhang Jiyi has been abroad recently, he has still heard about domestic news. Especially this Chen Ze, as the most outstanding talent among the new generation of cartoonists, and also rated by the media as someone who has the potential to surpass Li Mingyang, how could he not know this? “It is true that Chen Ze broke one of Li Mingyang’s records, but it was his most inconspicuous record. He almost broke it back then. “But how can Li Mingyang be so easy to surpass? It can be said that he has achieved the ultimate in every field of the comics industry. If you want to surpass him, probably only the god of comics can do it. "I have heard of Chen Ze and have seen some of his works. I admit that he is also a very talented cartoonist, but I think he has no hope of surpassing Mr. Li Mingyang." Zhang Jiyi said, although He thought it was impossible for Chen Ze to surpass Li Mingyang, but he was still quite jealous that he could break one of Li Mingyang's records. What I have not been able to do after working hard all my life, a young person has actually done it. Especially since this junior is a dropout from an ordinary university, and he is the best student at BJ University. "But I think what he is doing now is just a waste of his talent." Zhang Jiyi changed the topic, "I heard that he has been busy drawing comics for children recently. You must know that our comics industry is one that does not advance or retreat. "As far as I know, Chen Ze is just a dropout from an ordinary university. He is just a dropout from an ordinary university." With the accumulation of knowledge and cultural cultivation, I may be able to create a good comic based on a moment of inspiration, but it is simply impossible to make a difference in the comics industry. His recent behavior has also verified my thoughts. Why go one step further and draw cartoons for primary school students? Let alone surpassing Mr. Li Mingxiang, I’m afraid I won’t see him in the cartoon world soon.” All the reporters present did not expect Zhang Jiyi to say at the end. After saying something like this, this was a big deal. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Some of them even thought of the title.
