After Xu Nanxing issued the call for submissions, he handed the matter over to Xu Yanchen to follow up. Anyway, the initial results would not be very obvious, especially since many people might be good at writing articles, commentaries on current events, news reports, essays and other writing-related work, but they might not be so good at writing novels, especially long descriptions of background and characters, which would not meet the current requirements of novels.
The main problem is that it is not attractive enough to readers.
However, the writing mindset cannot be changed in a short period of time, so there is no need to rush the solicitation of papers.
At least we have to wait until the writing course column published in the newspaper continues for a period of time so that readers who are interested in writing novels can understand it, and then the newspaper will have a chance to receive qualified manuscripts.
This is a long process!
Now that Xu Nanxing has handed the matter over to Xu Yanchen to follow up, she plans to start preparing for other projects.
This new project is comics!
When it comes to comics, the most famous one is of course Japanese manga!
When talking about the development of Japanese comics, we have to talk about the development process of the Japanese economy.
After World War II, with the strong support of the United States, Japan's economy developed rapidly and prospered unprecedentedly.
It was under such economic conditions that Japanese comics developed rapidly. Over the years, countless excellent works and classic characters were created, making Japanese comics popular all over the world.
Xu Nanxing has watched many Japanese anime, such as "Spirited Away", "Naruto", "Slam Dunk", "Attack on Titan", "Chibi Maruko-chan", "Doraemon", "Detective Conan", "Your Name" and many other anime.
These classic animations are very popular all over the world.
Among young people, any one of them will tell you one or two classic Japanese anime characters or plots.
In short, Japanese comics occupy a considerable weight among young people born after the 1980s!
It is also an indispensable part of modern young people.
By 2019, the output value of Japan's animation market had reached 230.19 billion yen, equivalent to 147.5 billion yuan.
The economic value is more than 100 billion!
Who can not be moved?
Xu Nanxing was very envious!
So how could Xu Nanxing want to let go of such huge economic benefits?
In Xu Nanxing's opinion, Hong Kong actually has many similarities with Japan, both of which are small in size and have a high population density!
These are places where every inch of land is valuable, and drawing comics actually only requires an office desk, so this is indeed one of the best projects for Xu Nanxing to develop in Hong Kong!
The main thing is that you don’t need a very large working space, you just need to recruit a few people and you can start working!
Especially when social security is not that good, you only need to stay in the office and deal less with people outside. In this way, won’t there be less trouble?
So, is there a better project to start than this?
Moreover, Hong Kong and Japan are both in East Asia, so there is inevitably a competitive relationship between them!
Therefore, Xu Nanxing felt that she could learn more from Japan in her industrial layout in Hong Kong!
The first thing Xu Nanxing thought of was comics, an industry that currently relies purely on manpower!
At this stage, comics are really purely hand-drawn, and they must be drawn slowly, stroke by stroke, page by page.
Because people from the mainland continue to smuggle into Hong Kong, the population in Hong Kong has increased significantly every year, but the employment environment has not improved. So Xu Nanxing wanted to vigorously develop comics in Hong Kong, so as to provide more jobs!
Of course, the most important thing is that Xu Nanxing doesn’t want the comics market to be completely taken over by the Japanese!
She must grab a big piece of the pie in this field no matter what!
If it weren't for the ten years of turmoil that caused a gap in education for an entire generation, how could China, with its 5,000-year history of civilization, lose to Japan and South Korea in entertainment?
And why is the country so passive when faced with cultural invasion?
How many young people have been brainwashed by the idea of loving Korea and Japan!
But there is no way around it. At this time, the "study is useless" theory is becoming more and more serious in the country.
Just like what the villagers of Shanghe Village often said to the educated youth: "What's the point of studying? You study so well, but you still have to work in the fields like us!" Such remarks and the idea that "study is useless" led to the lack of education for a generation, and this harm could not be eliminated until ten or twenty years later.
Just like the popular saying "It's not the old people who have become bad, it's the bad people who have become old," there are also comments saying: "Decades ago, young people danced in the square, disregarding the feelings of the elderly. Today, the elderly dance in the square, disregarding the feelings of the young. Decades ago, young Red Guards beat, smashed, robbed, and burned, causing harm to a group of elderly people. Now, some elderly people are committing fraud, blackmailing others, and even hurting others when they fall, causing harm to a group of young people..."
These are all hazards!
Faced with this historical process, Xu Nanxing is powerless, but she is still confident in competing with Japan and South Korea for the entertainment market!
After all, even though the mainland is lagging behind now, just in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, many outstanding writers have emerged, such as Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, Ni Kuang, Yi Shu, Qiong Yao, Li Bihua and many other well-known novelists.
Hong Kong still has great potential for development!
