Huayu 93, I'm the ceiling of combat power from the moment I appear.

Chapter 122 Selling blind boxes and plastic? He comes up here himself...

The original owner's parents were the last thing He Xi wanted to face, but she never expected that she could resolve the issue so easily.

Old He, that old-fashioned guy, is actually a fan of Vivian Chow!

After hanging up the phone, He Xi was in a great mood.

This also improved the post-production efficiency of "Form is Emptiness".

He naturally had much more free time.

After thanking Zhou Huimin sincerely from head to toe, He Xi also took some time to get busy with new things.

When he recruited Huo Wenxi, he put forward three future plans.

Movies, albums, comics.

Needless to say, the movie will be released first, but as for the album, we'll have to wait until Vivian Chow's album is finished before we can work on his own.

So next, he needs to focus on getting the comics sorted out.

His decision to choose "Bleach" as his startup project from among a bunch of popular comics was based on careful consideration.

First of all, the concept of the Grim Reaper in this comic, which involves the Grim Reaper taking souls and performing rituals for the deceased, is very similar to the Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face figures in Chinese mythology.

It is very easy for audiences in Chinese-speaking regions to understand.

Secondly, the Zanpakuto (soul-slaying sword) concept in Bleach is also in line with the current trend of Hong Kong comics.

From "Chinese Heroes" to "Storm Riders" and then to "Legend of the Emperor".

In these best-selling Hong Kong comics, almost every named character has their own unique divine weapon.

This is not only about the grandeur of the characters, but also about the reader habits and cultural identity cultivated in Hong Kong Island, a sacred land of martial arts.

Which swordsman wouldn't want to have a divine weapon by his side when he goes out?

Which Chinese child hasn't picked up a stick from the ground and used it as a weapon?

The concept of a Zanpakuto naturally satisfies this yearning for divine weapons, especially exclusive ones.

More importantly, these weapons can be sold as merchandise.

A complete set of figurines, costing several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, probably wouldn't be bought by many people.

However, a small set of weapon charms, costing the price of a dozen or so for the price of just one figurine, is much more acceptable!

Moreover, He Xi can also give away a random Zanpakuto with each book, just like in "Wind and Cloud".

This encourages book fans to buy more books in order to collect a complete set of the Gotei 13 captain's outfit or the Espada outfit.

To be even more unscrupulous, they could create an event where players could collect a complete set of weapons or a specific main character's sword or boss's sword to redeem prizes.

Book lovers would buy up the books like they bought Little Raccoon!

Moreover, the Zanpakuto holder can be used for decoration, and it's a very impressive gift.

He Xi could even make the Zanpakuto more exquisite, like pulling a cloth—

"Hiss! Wait a minute! Labubu!"

He Xi suddenly raised an eyebrow.

Little Raccoon Water Margin cards are known as the originator of blind boxes in China.

However, Pop Mart, through its product Labubu, transformed blind boxes into an industry that leverages global capital, reaching a peak market value of over HK$4000 billion!

It's almost half the price of millet!

However, the technical difficulty of Labubu is simply incomparable to that of Xiaomi.

Xiaomi's R&D is just burning money, while Pop Mart just needs to make molds and pour plastic.

He Xi certainly doesn't have the funds or energy to get involved in high-tech industries like Xiaomi right now.

However, Labubu's business model is worth trying.

Just as he was pondering, a small head lifted up from under the table, wiping its mouth and looking apologetic.

"Yu-sama, it was my fault just now, I'm so sorry!"

"It's alright, Labubu-chan, you can keep going. It's not your fault."

He Xi ruffled her hair, pressed her back down, and then continued planning the future on the paper.

Pop Mart's money-making experience—or rather, its money-making techniques—is something you absolutely must learn.

However, He Xi is not prepared to do everything herself for the "Bleach" manga.

Instead, he planned to write out the world background, character settings, story outline, etc. first, and then draw simple stick figures directly, just like making storyboards on a film set.

We'll hire people to do all the remaining scene additions and character character development.

If they can't find a suitable candidate in Hong Kong, they'll look in mainland China.

Moreover, you don't need to find famous experts; just find a few graduates from art academies, and you can get it done.

Low pay, but little work.

"Oh, and novels too!"

He Xi paused in writing.

Writing novels is almost a must for all the predecessors who traveled to Hong Kong entertainment industry.

For newcomers without a foundation or capital, this is the simplest way to accumulate fame and wealth.

Anyone with hands can do it.

Moreover, once a novel becomes popular, it can be used as an IP to attract film and television production companies to purchase adaptation rights, or the company can develop it themselves.

More importantly, in this era, those who can write novels are called talented, and countless naive young girls and even female celebrities admire them.

Unlike twenty years later, when anyone, whether a cat or a dog, could write online novels, many people now only deserve to be called struggling writers.

He Xi also signed with Xu Ke Studio as soon as she transmigrated. She has acting opportunities, things to learn, and female celebrities to help her. She is extremely busy every day.

So I've never had the time to sit down and write a novel that's easily over a million words long.

However, if you want to write a novel in Hong Kong during this era, you can't be too straightforward in your writing style; you need at least a writing style like that of "Zhu Xian".

Alright, since we're already thinking of following in the footsteps of our predecessors and copying books, then we can't let go of [Zhu Xian], which is a must-copy for transmigrators.

However, unlike the comics, He Xi plans to write the novel "Zhu Xian" himself to avoid accusations that he hired a ghostwriter or was seeking fame and fortune.

The title of "talented person" is still very useful in this era.

This will also let Ni Zhen, who's addicted to making fun of himself, see for himself that writing a book is something anyone can do, and what's with all the bragging? "So, the next step is to write the book, and at the same time, hire people to draw comics!"

After making short-term plans, He Xi put down her pen, called Huo Wenxi, and explained the matter of recruiting workers from art academies in mainland China.

"The office will be set up in Taipei for now. I will introduce someone to help you get in touch. As for salary, just follow the standards for foreign companies in mainland China."

After saying that, He Xi gave Huo Wenxi Liu Hongmei's contact information.

With the help of this teacher from the Central Academy of Drama, Huo Wenxi will have an easier time in the future.

But no one would be happy to be on a business trip in mid-December, and Huo Wenxi complained directly.

"Boss, the Lunar New Year is almost here, and you not only don't give me a holiday, but you also make me go on business trips and work overtime every day. If this keeps up, I'll work myself to death!"

He Xi patted Hamasaki Abu's head, gesturing for her to come up, while comforting her with a smile on the phone.

With great power comes great responsibility!

"As the company thrives, so will you. You're the head steward of Jinxi Entertainment!"

"Work hard, and I'll give you more next year—"

Huo Wenxi answered immediately.

"Hire me a few more people; I can't handle you myself!"

He Xi glanced at Hamasaki Cloth, which was already neatly arranged and ready, and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, you decide!"
