Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 164 Two Classic Comics

Seeing the senior in front of him, she really belongs to Chili Pepper, Yang Chen shrugged and said: "Okay, let me tell you the truth, senior, the junior opened a manga club in order to enter the animation industry, you know, Japan is now Japan. Anime is very popular over there, and animation comes from graphic novels.”

   "So, I want to set up a comics club in Xiangjiang. If it can be made into animation at that time, it would be great..."

   After listening to Yang Chen for a long time, Xu Siqi finally understood Yang Chen's purpose, so he curled his lips and said, "After talking for a long time, your purpose is to make money."

Seeing Xu Siqi in front of him with a look of disgust, as if he was afraid that his stench of copper would contaminate her, Yang Chen suddenly said speechlessly: "I'll go, Senior Sister, don't be so unworldly, okay? In today's society, how can you live without money? "

   "Drawing comics and making animations all require money. Running a comics club doesn't make any money. Which cartoonists do you ask to drink the Northwest Wind?"

   "Uh" Being so scolded by Yang Chen, although Xu Siqi realized that she had said something wrong, she was not to be outdone because of her face, and glared back at Yang Chen.

  Actually, the reason why Yang Chen asked Xue Yufei to come to Xu Siqi was because he wanted to use the ability and expertise of the other party, so that he would not worry about this aspect in the future.

   He can't delay other things because of a comics club, especially comics, which consumes people's energy and time the most.

   For comics, he can only give some opinions and outlines, and other meticulous work, he can only explain it and let others do it.

  Although Xu Siqi is not a good executive, the literary comics are originally a sheep-herding model.

  The quality of the work, whether it is popular or not, depends entirely on the author and the reader, and there are too few things in the middle that can have an impact.

   Therefore, the opponent's shortcomings are not something that cannot be ignored.

   "Chen, your stuff."

   Soon, Xue Yufei brought over what Yang Chen had prepared.

  Yang Chen opened the information bag, there were two picture albums that were not too thick, Yang Chen didn't open it to confirm, and handed it directly to Xu Siqi in front of him.

   As the pages were opened, at first Xu Siqi's attention was entirely on Yang Chen's painters, but as he read more and more stories, Xu Siqi couldn't help but be surprised.

   She wasn't surprised by Yang Chen's artistry, but by the story that Yang Chen came up with. Although it was only an outline, it was not difficult to see from the name and the detailed explanation of the stories that this was indeed a wonderful comic.

  Speaking of which, which two comics Yang Chen took out?

   Everyone may wish to guess

simply put

   After 90, 99% of the people have heard of these two novels.

   And 90% of the people have watched the movie animations about these two comics, and even played the games based on them.

  The two comics are quite popular in later generations. The plots are very long, and they can also be changed into movie animation games.

   With such multi-purpose comics, Yang Chen has no reason not to take them out?

Cough, okay, I said so much, in fact, the main reason is because these two comics, whether it is its comic book, or the animation adaptation, or the movie, when Yang Chen was a teenager, did not pull an episode. Saw all.

  I have even played the game, and the characters in the plot remember it very deeply, so I planned to use these two comics to open up the situation.

  The two comics have been identified by the market in later generations, and Yang Chen has no pressure on this.

   After watching for a while, Xu Siqi suddenly found a problem. Although Yang Chen changed the names of the characters in the two comics, the strong Japanese style did not change much.

   So, Xu Siqi couldn't help but ask, "Sister, do you want to borrow these two comics to open up the Japanese market?"

   This is not for her to think so, after all, Japan is undoubtedly the largest manga market today.

   It can be said that today's Japanese teenagers are similar to the post-90s generation in later generations. The biggest entertainment comes from comics and games.

   It is precisely because of this that the Japanese comics industry is so popular.

   This is the same as the Internet era, when many people are addicted to novels. One era has something that people in another era like.

   When the other party saw the problem, Yang Chen explained without blushing or panting: "Sister, you also know that the biggest consumer market for comics today is undoubtedly Japan.

  I have read a lot of Japanese manga before, so there are more Japanese elements in it.

   In addition, the population of Xiangjiang is only a few million people. If it is based on the preferences of the people of Xiangjiang, it will inevitably be limited. "

   After listening to Yang Chen's explanation, Xu Siqi didn't have the slightest doubt, nodded, and picked up another comic to read.

   Compared with One Piece, Naruto Japanese elements are even stronger

   In other words, the Hong Kong comic industry actually had its own market a long time ago.

   Most of the Xiangjiang comics in our memory come from the 1970s and 1980s.

   But the origin of Xiangjiang comics can be traced back to the end of the Qing Dynasty earlier.

   In 1920, Heung Kong published the first comic book "Ren Jian", and in 1934, the comic book "Comic Weekly" with the nature of a periodical officially appeared in Hong Kong.

   By the end of the 1930s, with a large number of cartoonists from the inland moving south to Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang Comics has entered a stage of rapid development.

   In which period, many excellent cartoonists were born.

  Early Xiangjiang comics have obvious traces of mainland comics, and the subject matter is more inclined to market life and current affairs news.

   To say the heyday of Heung Kong Comics, we have to count the 1970s and 1980s, with Heung Kong moving towards a diversified economy policy.

  Finance, trade, tourism and other industries have developed rapidly, and Xiangjiang has begun to fully integrate trade with other countries in the world, and a large number of ships have flooded into the Xiangjiang market.

   Among them, Japanese comics have become the most popular book works by Hong Kong readers.

   Influenced by Japanese comics, the local comics in Hong Kong began to transform from the original single-frame comics to a more dynamic split-shot format.

The theme of    has also broken away from the past trivial matters, and has begun to develop in the direction of science fiction and fantasy, becoming a purer cultural consumer product.

  It is worth mentioning that, originating from the national blood of Xiangjiang people, martial arts, a boutique in traditional culture, can be said to have played a big role in Xiangjiang comics, becoming the most classic tone of Xiangjiang comics during this period.

  The birth of many excellent comics, such as Longhumen, Chinese Heroes, etc., has pushed Xiangjiang comics to the top.

   In the Hong Kong comics market, the local comics of Hong Kong were the real hegemons at the beginning. Even if Japanese comics were inserted, they could not open the situation for a while.

   After all, something like culture takes time to get used to, and it doesn’t take three or two days to get used to it.
