The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 457 0457, Hot Comic Exhibition (2)

"I didn't expect this fairy-like company to have so many comics."

"Yeah, I thought there were only Fullmetal Alchemist, Initial D, and Dragon Ball."

……

"These martial arts comics are not inferior to samurai comics at all."

"Well, the characters, battle scenes, martial arts moves, etc., have a different flavor."

……

"This Yunfeng is amazing. He draws many types of comics, including martial arts, fantasy, science fiction, sports, and supernatural."

"And the amount of updates is extremely high, several times that of other comic authors."

……

The popularity of the booth exceeded Lai Yunfeng and Zheng Rong's expectations.

You said it was because of fame, but Yunfeng's fame in the island country was only above average; you said it was because of the gifts, but the gifts were anime character models and signed picture albums that were also given out at other booths; you said it was because of Hirofumi Karasawa, but there were people at other booths who were more famous than him.

Perhaps, it was because of that little bit of luck that the "herd effect" occurred.

In short, it’s a good thing.

There is still half an hour until four o'clock in the afternoon, and the only show prepared by the Xianqi Company booth is about to begin.

Mainly because of the lack of time, we did not prepare Ccosplay dance shows, holographic projection animation shows, creative staff quiz shows, etc. like other booths.

When Yunfeng is here, we sing.

"Next, we would like to invite Yunfeng, the author of many classic comics such as "Fullmetal Alchemist", "Initial D", and "Dragon Ball", to come on stage and sing a song for everyone!"

Yunfeng walked onto the small stage in the center of the booth and said into the microphone: "Thank you all for supporting the Youxianqi Company. I hope you like the song "Kimi ga ga kumi da takara"."

As soon as the words fell, the accompaniment began.

"Mom is taking tutoring and washing me in the sun
Hashili uncle and mother are angry with Naga
He quacks and hits it's leaking and you quack..."

Yunfeng sang the theme song of the audio comic and animation of "Slam Dunk", which is also the theme song of the original animation "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly".

But in the island country, the song is popular, but "Slam Dunk" is not.

The reason is not only the exclusivity of the island country's comics market, but also the fact that it was released in the country at the time, with the names of the characters and places in the original work changed, and then it was released in the island country. This affected sales.

“This song is really nice.”

“I only read half of the comic, but when the music started playing, I felt inexplicably happy!”

"I missed the carefree student days when all I had was basketball."

"Hearing the passion and enthusiasm in the song makes me want to pick up the comics and read them again."

"Youth, an eternal topic."

……

People started singing along from the chorus, and it even turned into a chorus.

There's no way around it. Locals are indeed more likely to resonate with songs in their local language.

"I can't tell where the accent is from in this Japanese language."

"More like standardized official Japanese."

“I just don’t know if he only learned the Japanese for this song or if he really knows Japanese.”

"His Chinese songs are pretty good. If he releases a few more Japanese songs, I will definitely buy them."

"You can have this."

……

Yunfeng's Japanese, which was even more standard than that of the islanders, successfully aroused discussion.

This is because the original reward [Language Skills], which gave the languages ​​of eight countries in the world and eight places in China, are all officially standardized. After singing together, Yunfeng did not leave the stage, but played the role of host and held a wave of lucky draws, which immediately pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

After giving away all the gifts, he said into the microphone: "Tomorrow at noon, my new manga Puella Magi Madoka Magica will be released on Sakura Comics. I hope everyone will support it then. I will also give everyone a preview of the event today."

I saw a 100-inch projection screen slowly descending from above the small stage, and then the first episode of the audio comic "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" began to play.

Since the purpose is to impact the comics market in the island country, the audio comics and animations are naturally dubbed in Japanese.

[Chapter 1: It seems like I have seen it in a dream
With her beloved family and friends by her side and sometimes happy, Madoka Kaname, a second-year junior high school student, lives a peaceful life.

One night, Yuan had a magical dream...】

"Si Guoyi, I like this style of painting!"

"A healing campus story?"

“Very exquisite pictures, very colorful color matching.”

“There’s a desire to keep watching.”

"You can't tell much from just one episode, but if the rest of the story is just this kind of bland life story, it's hard to become a big hit."

……

Judging from the reactions of the comic fans at the scene, some liked it, some thought it was average, and some were indifferent.

but.

They were generous in praising the lovely Madoka and the delicate and exquisite pictures.

Yunfeng is quite confident about this "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". First, the original work is very popular in the island country and even in China. Second, the customized comics are a one-to-one replica of the animation, without any castration and very high completeness. Third, it has the advantages of full-color production and excellent production.

however.

Although the sales of episodes 1 and 2 updated on the first day of release were very good and ranked in the top three of the single-day sales list, the response was mediocre.

"Just like I said yesterday, the plot is too bland."

"We don't know how many comics there are that use 'girly', 'cute', and 'healing' as selling points."

"What a pity! I waited for a whole day in vain."

"Cheat our feelings."

"It's still worth reading. At least the character images and picture accuracy are much better than other similar comics."

……

The ratings from Japanese comic fans are almost all between 2 and 5 points, making it the lowest-rated comic of all Yunfeng comics, and the first one to fail to pass the passing line of 6 points.

“Can we enter our comics market just by wanting to enter and become popular just by wanting to become popular?”

"You overestimate your abilities."

"Even a powerful company like MD can't stand, how can there be a fairy company? I give you two words: 'Ha ha'!"

"Comics are a popular genre, but without the support of high-quality plots or imaginative settings, it's useless no matter how good other aspects are."

"Go back and practice more, learn more, you are still young, there are plenty of opportunities."

……

The major comic publishers in the island country saw the poor rating of Yunfeng's comic "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" and began to mock it mercilessly.

but.

Unbeknownst to everyone, this is just history repeating itself.

If we have to say anything about the flaws of the manga Puella Magi Madoka Magica, it's that it has none, or that it's "too slow to start."

There are only 12 episodes in total, and the climax is only in the 3rd episode. Isn't it a slow start?

The original animation topped the 2 January new show expectation list on 2011CH due to its luxurious production lineup before it was aired. However, the response was mediocre after it was aired. It was not until the third episode was aired that the number of BD/DVD pre-orders increased sharply, making it the number one new show in January.
