Comicfans： From Guangzhou to Paris.docVIP

Comicfans： From Guangzhou to Paris 　　At the 34th Paris International Book Fair， French Dargaud Media and Guangzhou Comicfans Culture Science Technology Development Co.， Ltd.， one of Chinese key companies in cartoon publishing industry， reached cooperation where both parties will establish a joint-fund professional cartoon press in France， through which more China’s original comics will become available in France and Europe. 　　It is the first time for Comicfans Culture to establish an overseas branch， and it is also a starting journey for China’s original comics globally. Their ideas are somewhat different from strategies in traditional sense： in addition to copyright output， they also “output” their staff. According to Jin Cheng， chairman of Comicfans Culture， he thinks that it is more important to train the comic makers with an international exposure. For Comicfans at this time， China’s original cartoons and comics could compete directly on the relatively mature European comic market and thus stimulate the authors’ creativity. 　　As introduced， the new press to be established is about to be independently registered with its operating headquarters in Paris and both parties hold equal equity. They are jointly involved in planning， composing， producing and marketing. Jin Cheng will serve as a joint publisher and carry out marketing by virtue of Dargaud Media’s sound selling network， achieving the long-term strategic layout of China’s original comics seizing international markets. In making comics， they adopt a co-authoring way that playwrights are from France and cartoonists are from China. Creation themes of comic stories are dominated by subjects relating to both China and France， and also include comics about “Kungfu”. The new press will give priority to launching e-comics and paper comics， and gradually develop films and audio-visual products. 　　Li Shu 　　Deputy Director of the International Cooperation Department， 21th Century Publishing House 　　She was
