512 [Hot Sale]

To talk about the most popular thing in Hong Kong during this period, in addition to the increasingly intense Tan Zhang Zhengba and the Miss Hong Kong and Miss Oriental beauty pageants, it will be a hot sale in the "Picture King" Daily.

Comics daily is very difficult to make. Japanese comic magazines are basically monthly and semi-monthly, and even the number of weekly magazines is extremely rare.

What is the reason?

Creating comics is really time-consuming, and there is not so much comic content to support the daily newspapers that need to be published every day.

Today, in "The King of Painting", there are only two versions of the Rapture, two versions of "Pink Girl", and two versions of "Crayon Shin-chief". In other words, there are only 6 most popular versions of "The King of Paintings" in total, and the rest are ordinary short stories, long and traditional four-frame, six-frame comics, and a full 8-frame advertisements.

But even so, the sales of "The King of Painting" have reached an achievement that even traditional newspapers cannot achieve.

"The King of Paintings", which had already stabilized after sales of more than 60,000 copies, started to be serialized, and sales rose to 80,000 copies in just two weeks.

Nowadays, there are more than 100 newspapers in Hong Kong, which have a palm-sized size, but the number of newspapers that can sell more than 80,000 copies is only one slap. Now, "The King of Painting" has exceeded 80,000 copies in one fell swoop, so you can imagine how popular "Crayon Shin-chan" is.

And in the process of the sales growth of "The King of Paintings", such stories often appear—

"What did you look at alone secretly, and you couldn't keep your mouth shut."

"No, nothing."

"Come on me and take a look."

"Lao Dou. It's really nothing. I'll do my homework."

"It's actually a comics daily. If you don't do your homework, you'll see this kind of thing when you go home."

"Don't tear it, I borrowed it from my classmates."

"I'll know to watch some messy things all day long. I'll find out next time and I'll tear it up again."

"Huh, it's good that I haven't tear it up, I've gone to do my homework."

More than ten minutes later, my father found his son: "Where can I watch this "Crayon Shin-chan"?"

"Lao Dou. Only "The King of Paintings" is there. Hey, don't you read comics?"

"When I watched "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and "Old Master", you were still wearing open-crotch pants. I will buy me a copy of "The King of Painting" tomorrow and bring it back!"

"Lao Dou, you..."

According to statistics, Hong Kong people's newspaper reading rate can rank among the top three in the world. A small peninsula can open hundreds of newspapers and almost the same number of magazines. It is conceivable that Hong Kong people do have the habit of reading newspapers.

Running newspapers in Hong Kong is extremely competitive. Many newspapers did not sell more than 10,000 copies until the day they ceased production and went bankrupt. But if your newspaper can be unique and attract readers enough, it is very easy to make a name for themselves.

This is true for "The King of Paintings". Although its sales volume is less than 100,000, it has become the sixth-ranked daily newspaper in Hong Kong as a doll newspaper. It is enough to shock the entire publishing industry.

In another time and space, "Crayon Shin-chan" was originally designed as an adult comic. It was not until the TV version of the animation was made that many erotic components were deleted, making it suitable for both young and old.

The cartoon of "Crayon Shin-shi" has been broadcast for 20 years in Japan and has long been ranked among the top ten in the ratings. Entering other Asian countries, "Crayon Shin-shi" has also been praised and loved without any obstacles. This is enough to show its charm.

Kang Jianfei had never read the original comic of "Crayon Shin-chief". He just set up the characters based on his memories of watching cartoons in the welfare home. After drawing the first two episodes in a piece together, he asked someone to continue editing them. Kang Jianfei only occasionally put forward his own opinions and asked them to modify them.

After several episodes of "Crayon Shin-chan" has been serialized, it is already very different from the original content. The plot of the comic is obviously Hong Kong-like, but the warmth and childlikeness of its family have been preserved.

It is such a Hong Kong-localized "Crayon Shin-shi" that has attracted strong recognition from readers of all ages and young Hong Kong, so that the sales of "The King of Painting" have increased to an unprecedented 80,000 copies.

Huang Zhan’s current girlfriend, Lin Yanni, who has always been conceited and talented, actually wrote a comment on "Crayon Shin-chief" in Ming Pao, which is also the only comic comment she wrote in her life:

"I don't like reading comics. I first learned that "Crayon Shin-chan" was at a friend's house. My friend is thirty-four, and even my child is almost graduating from elementary school, but I am holding "Crayon Shin-chan" and watching it with relish.

I asked my friend curiously, what are there to read in comics?

A friend replied that "Crayon Shin-chan" is comparable to "Lao Fuzi", and it is even better in family ties. Even at the age of 60, this comic can still see a different taste.

In amazement, I found the first episode of "Crayon Shin-chan" to start from scratch, but I couldn't put it down and read it for eight hours. When I looked back, I felt that I was still unfulfilled and understood why this comic became popular in Hong Kong.

Let’s first look at Xiaoxin’s father Teng Guangzhi, a typical middle-aged office worker, who squeezes on a double-decker bus every day and rushes to work in a traffic flow. This is a portrayal of the lives of most Hong Kong men;

Xiaoxin's mother, Teng Li Meiya, is a traditional housewife. She plots about family matters every day and makes crazy moves when she sells prices in supermarkets. Is this a microcosm of the vast number of housewives in Hong Kong?

The husband returns home with exhaustion, but is often entangled by trivial matters at home to rest; the wife waits for her husband with full of expectations, but she often gets drunk.

This constitutes the simplest, most ordinary and most real middle- and low-level family in Hong Kong. People are watching "Crayon Shin-chan" as if they are watching everything happening in their own home.

In my opinion, "Crayon Shin-chan" is not a comic for children, but an adult comic from the perspective of children, or rather, an "adult fairy tale". Only those who have experienced the bitterness and bitterness of life can truly understand the warmth hidden behind the story...

Life itself is not satisfactory. It is full of all kinds of hardships, and it only depends on what kind of mentality you use to face it.

In "Crayon Shin-chief", Teng Guangzhi no matter how heavy the burden of family and work is, he drinks a little wine when he has time. He feels so happy in life; his wife Miya is more calm, lying down to watch TV, taking a nap, or chatting with his neighbors and wives in peace; even the pet Xiaobai knows how to walk alone with her place.

The comic author depicts a simple and warm family for us. The economy may not be rich, the husband is not a high vocational school, the wife is not a virtuous, and the children are even more troublesome. However, under the maintenance of pure family affection, even though the Teng family was forced into a small room in the apartment because of a typhoon blowing down the house, they did not change their inherent optimism. In the narrow yard, the Teng family still laughed constantly..."

In the past, comics were not as good as the Hong Kong people. For example, the most famous cartoonists in the 1960s have now changed their careers to do other jobs. For example, Huang Yulang, who has a net worth of over 100 million, is still looked down upon by traditional society because of his identity as a cartoonist.

However, Lin Yanni is a famous talented woman in Hong Kong. Now she writes comments specifically for "Crayon Shin-chan", which really surprised many cultural people who disdain to read comics. At the same time, Lin Yanni's comments have also made the connotation and style of "Crayon Shin-chan" reach a height out of thin air.

After Lin Yanni's interpretation, "Crayon Shin-chan" is no longer an ordinary child's comic, but an inspirational comic that records the joys and sorrows of ordinary Hong Kong families and teaches people to be positive and optimistic. Compared with "Dragon and Tiger Gate", which only knows how to fight, the latter obviously cannot catch up with it.

The topic of "Crayon Shin-chan" has been quickly hyped up, but other newspapers focus on Shin-chan:

"A 5-year-old child with thick eyebrows often says words that embarrass his mother in public. This child has become a household name in Hong Kong."

"Elephant. Elephant, why is your nose so long... Whenever you see this sentence, you will make people swear."

"It is said that after "Crayon Shin-chan" became popular, the white puppies in pet stores have sold a lot more."

"This is a five-year-old child, but his lazy, self-righteous personality often triggers a lot of jokes, and is glad that there is no son or brother like him."

“…”

If we only look at the teenager in our teenage audience, we still have the most readers of "Heroes of China", but including fans of all ages, then "Crayon Shin-chan" is a well-deserved NO.1.

The Oriental Daily commented: "Crayon Shin-chan is another great comic in Hong Kong after Master Laozi. It may change the current situation of the flood of kung fu comics in Hong Kong."

Huang Yulang, who was originally ambitious to list Yulang International, has not appeared in public for half a month. Because this kind of thing will be very ugly once he is encountered by a reporter afterwards.

The author of "Crayon Shin-shi's Crayon Shin-shi" also appeared in the latest interview program of Phoenix TV and revealed some of the inside stories of "Crayon Shin-shi".

Host: "Mr. Coconut Man, the audience in front of the TV may not know you very well. Can you introduce yourself?"

Coconut Man: "Of course, my real name is Peng Jianye. I used to work in Mr. Shangguan Xiaobao's "Good News". Later, I joined Yulang International with my master Shangguan Xiaobao. Currently, I work in Mr. Kang Jianfei's dark horse comic company, and the author of the author "Crayon Shin-chan".

Host: "What comics have you painted before?"

Coconut Man: "I have participated in the creation of comics such as "Dragon and Tiger Gate", "Bruce Lee", and "Chinese Heroes". Although they are all for others, they have trained various styles of painting, which has laid the foundation for my main writer "Crayon Shin-chan".

Host: "Can you tell me about the creative background of "Crayon Shin-chan"?"

Coconut Man: "Of course, "Crayon Shin-chief" is like "Pink Girl". The whole story and character setting are Mr. Kang Jianfei's idea. I admire Mr. Kang's talent very much. His comic style is very varied. If he was not a director, I think he would definitely become an excellent cartoonist."

Host: "So is Mr. Kang still in charge of "Crayon Shin-chief" now?"

Coconut Man: "No, at the beginning, Mr. Kang had to review the manuscript himself, but now he basically doesn't ask. He just occasionally writes materials and asks his assistant to send some jokes. For example, the line "Elephant, elephant, why is your nose so long?" was sent by Mr. Kang.

Host: "Hahaha, that elephant is so funny."

...

After glanced at the comic author on TV, Aida Ryo stood up from the edge of the bed, walked anxiously, and suddenly stood still and asked Saburo Hirai: "Did you really see people from Shueisha entering the dark horse comic company?"

Saburo Hirai nodded and said, "Yes, I saw the Liangda Sang of Shueisha enter the dark horse company with my own eyes."

"I hope Mr. Liangda did not come for "Crayon Shin-chief"." Aida Ryo sighed.

There are three major comic publishers in Japan, namely Shueisha, Primary School Pavilion and Shirazumi.

The studio_DEEN animation company where Ada Ryo is located has a good relationship with the Primary School Pavilion and can obtain the right to adapt the TV animation of "Doraemon". It is also the Primary School Pavilion that helps to contact and convince the author Fujiko F? Fujio.

Akada's plan this time is to discuss the copyright of "Crayon Shin-chief" in Japan, and then let the Primary School Library publish the "Crayon Shin-chief" comic, and then adapt it into a TV version of the animation after the comic is sold.

I didn't expect to go to the Black Horse Comics Company this afternoon, but I was reminded to make an appointment and let them go again tomorrow morning. Saburo Hirai also saw people from Shueisha entering the Black Horse Comics Company.
