Chapter 351: A Good Start! (Second Update!)

Zeng Pingzhi failed to notice one thing.

That is next to the sketches drawn by his daughter, the narration and dialogues are all written in vernacular.

The vernacular is the official language, and to put it more simply, it is the Mandarin.

Most of the traditional and simplified Chinese characters are just different in writing style, but the way of expression is the same.

This is very different from Cantonese.

Why is Xiangjiang so rebellious in the future?

Because apart from Cantonese, what they most agree with is full English.

Yin Jun wants to change this bad habit and let young Xiangjiang people agree with the way of expression in Mandarin from the very beginning. Although it may be a bit awkward to say it, there will be no barriers to communication when expressing it.

This can be seen from the performance of people from eastern Guangdong and southern Fujian.

On weekdays you said that they all speak their native dialect, but when communicating with people from other provinces, do you think they have that kind of language barrier?

Not at all!

What is the reason?

Isn't it just that the TV and books they watch on weekdays are the same as the people in the whole country?

The first emperor spent a great deal of effort to achieve such a great cause as "books and texts". Since then, Huaguo has been an inseparable whole. Such an achievement is really great!

After growing up, Yin Jun, who graduated from university, read some of Xiangjiang's cartoons, but he couldn't understand them many times, which can explain the problem.

Such a cultural background is gradually drifting away. How do you think they can identify with the mainland?

Therefore, from now on, Yin Jun's own comic books have been uniformly made into vernacular versions, no matter Xiangjiang, Baodao or Singapore, let Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao's Cantonese versions go straight to the street.

What Zeng Yuqian got was the first batch of books, a small half of which were printed in Taiwan and Singapore, and the other half were printed in Japanese.

Originally, Yin Jun thought that the reporters he had found were pretty good, but compared to the professional talents of Tokuma Kangkai, they were simply of two grades.

If you compare them, there are obvious differences in the expressions of the two in terms of tone and artistic conception. Naturally, it is the translation of Tokuma Kangkai, which is more close to the lives of Japanese people.

Even the Japanese side changed some sentences. Seeing that they did not change the most basic meaning, Yin Jun also agreed-if the translation is too rigid, it will not be able to adapt to the environment of the country at all.

Because it was the first time to use a high-end printing machine like Heidelberg, the test machine was slower than expected. It was almost completely successful on the night of the 21st, and the printing was officially started with the permission of the old-fashioned German technicians.

These German skilled workers will stay in Xiangjiang for two months, and they will not leave until they are fully on the right track.

Although they commute to and from get off work on time, they never slack off at work and are very serious and responsible. This is what Yin Jun asked Zhou Yuping to teach the workers to learn.

The efforts of the Chinese workers are enough, but their actual work efficiency is not as good as that of the Germans or the Japanese. This is the most important reason why our industry can only be a big country, not a strong one.

Yin Jun hopes that his workers can be more serious from the beginning, so that they can have a good start.

It looks pretty good now. Stimulated by high salaries, a group of workers are working very seriously. In just three days, they have printed 3.6 million copies of "Kirin Weekly" needed by Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore. After being directly loaded on the ship, it was sent to the destination.

So far, only Xiangjiang's 200,000 volumes are left, so they slowed down. On the one hand, they started to maintain and check the machines themselves, and on the other hand, they also asked German engineers and technicians to explain various aspects of knowledge.

The Germans also do this well. They are not afraid that you will learn from their experience. As long as you give them money, they will teach you seriously.

If our veteran craftsmen in Huaguo could have such a mind, Huaguo would have directly conquered other continents a thousand years ago.

In a blink of an eye, it's Saturday, September 1st.

The newsstands on the Xiangjiang side were transported by the minivan of Qilin Printing Factory to various newsstands willing to sell "Kirin Weekly" as early as around 7 o'clock.

Because they were worried about the group of people from the distribution association making trouble, there were four burly men in each van.

Le Yiling had already told them that if anyone dared to rob "Kirin Weekly", they would be beaten to death and the company would take care of them if something happened.

These security personnel have all experienced a lot of hardships in Xiangjiang. Now they have such a good job with a very high salary. Their wives, children and family members can live a solid life. How could they allow others to destroy their beauty? Life?

If "Kirin Weekly" is robbed and burned by others, then the Kylin Culture Co., Ltd. may go bankrupt. After closing down, they will lose their jobs, and the family will have to fall into hardship again.

How can this work! ?

For their family, they burst out with all their strength!

Whoever dares to stop the development of "Kirin Weekly" will ruin our lives, and it must be punished to death! !

It is conceivable how great the explosive power of a group of retired soldiers, especially our children, brothers, and soldiers, is!

Not to mention the scumbags in Xiangjiang, even the British garrison here, without the suppression of collective firepower, they have to kneel directly!

But it's also strange that the security personnel have prepared steel pipes to deal with unexpected accidents, but today's work of escorting "Kirin Weekly" did not have any accidents at all, and they were delivered safely without any hindrance, and then returned safely. Home.

After the news came back, Le Yiling thought, maybe the group of people from the Distribution Association underestimated her, thinking that "Kirin Weekly" would not sell much, and would close down soon, so they just watched it coldly, right?

Japan is one time zone earlier than Xiangjiang, so when the doors open at 9 o'clock, Japan opens an hour earlier.

A group of young people who had been annoyed by the publicity of Tokugawa Bookstore for a long time, happened to be the weekend again, so they rushed into more than 80 stores of Tokugawa Bookstore, shouted and took it from the bookshelf. A copy of "Kirin Weekly".

The Japanese version of "Kirin Weekly", except for the text on the front page and the author's name, has been changed to Japanese, including the advertisements on the pages, which are also in Japanese.

With Le Yiling's efforts, and looking at the sales cooperation agreement of Dechuan Bookstore, I have always admired Yin Jun's Coca-Cola, SONY, Vitasoy, and even Chow Tai Fook. They have invested a lot of money in "Kirin Weekly" There is an ad on it.

However, the advertisement in this issue is only 50 pages.

Originally, 8 comics were prepared with 50 pages each, and the remaining 100 pages were used for advertising.

As a result, there was an extra "Chibi Maruko" in the first issue, only 50 pages can be advertised, and the number of advertisers is not enough, there are only a dozen to advertise, so Le Yiling simply came with a big gift, and gave more They have several pages, and a company's advertisement can occupy three or four articles.

Anyway, Ms. Le has made up her mind, even if the ad page is empty, it is absolutely impossible to lower the price to lower the price for those stingy little advertisers—sorry, we are the best-selling comics in Asia in the future, and it is impossible to lower the price Cheap advertising space.

For this reason, many small and medium-sized advertisers laughed at Le Yiling. This is crazy about money. What can you do with a comic book? You don't want to pay for advertising, you deserve it for waiting to go bankrupt!

Not to mention these people.

Japanese manga readers are usually very simple. Many people bought manga books, sat in the corner of Tokugawa Bookstore, and began to read them attentively.

The first story is "Transformers".

Japan now has the first animated version of "Mobile Suit Gundam", so they are no strangers to mechas.

In fact, it’s not that Yin Jun didn’t think about bringing out the idea of ​​“Gundam” first, but even though it was 1979, that is, “Mobile Suit Gundam” that was only broadcast this year, he started planning two or three years ago , Yin Jun gained a firm foothold in Xiangjiang in August and September of 1978, and there was no time at all.

But that's okay, with "Mobile Suit Gundam", readers are more receptive to Transformers comics.

Watching the Autobots and the Decepticons fighting endlessly on their own planet until they came to the earth, readers nodded and began to think about the heroic robot war based on the picture.

In particular, the several scenes of the transformation of the car robot were done very finely, which made them enjoy watching it even more.

"Transformers" is an excellent comic book in terms of comic books, but it is definitely not top-notch.

So after reading the first issue of this story, many people feel that it is "very good".

But after opening the second "Oolong Courtyard", I heard laughter one after another after a while.

The interesting interaction between the old monk and the young monks, as well as the collision between the old and the childish innocence, all make people feel the warmth inside. Such a cartoon is beautiful!

The third "Conan", the fourth "Laughing Life in the Tropical Rainforest", the fifth "Saint Seiya"...

Before they knew it, they had already finished reading a comic book. When they looked up and looked at the time, it was terrible! It's almost 12 o'clock!

So, a group of people ran wildly with their comic books in their arms, and rushed back home one after another.

But this is not the end. A group of people who bought the comic book immediately started calling their friends and showing off the new comic book they bought.

"Hey, Yasuo, did you buy "Kirin Weekly" today?...No? Hurry up and buy it! I tell you, you will regret it if you don't buy it!...Which story is good?...Everything is good! All of them It’s top-notch! It’s definitely not worse than those drawn by great cartoonists!…”

"Junko, have you finished your tutoring? Hurry up and go to the Tokugawa Bookstore in Honcho, and let me tell you, its new weekly manga magazine is really good to read, especially the "Laughing Life in the Tropical Rainforest" in it is simply amazing. I laughed so hard!"

"Sanlang, I just went to a boring bookstore and saw a lot of people reading a weekly manga magazine from Xiangjiang. I wasn't interested in it at first, but when I saw those people watching, I laughed and applauded foolishly. I couldn't help but bought a copy... As a result, I was immediately attracted by the comics in it! I have read it three times, I kid you not, I will finish my meal later, and I will read it again Check it out!"

"Youxin, what? You also bought "Kirin Weekly", haha, we are really good friends! Which story do you like best? "Saint Seiya"!? Hahaha, what a coincidence, I also like... Seiya so cool!"

"Hey... Chunliang, didn't you just call and ask me to buy "Kirin Weekly"? It was sold out when I went! I heard that the goods will be transferred from Osaka tomorrow... No, I You are a detective fan, hurry up, I will come to your house to pick up books later..."

"..."

Not only in Japan, but Xiangjiang, Omen, Baodao and Singapore, the remaining four places have all received bursts of praise.

The newspaper guys on Xiangjiang even made phone calls to Qilin Printing Factory one after another. Without exception, they all said, "Replenish, restock, replenish me quickly!"

Although one-third of the newspaper guys choose to have Kirin Printing Factory deliver the goods alone, after all, the 30% discount price allows them to earn 1.5 Hong Kong dollars for a comic book, which is a lot of money, but they generally There are not many choices, usually only a dozen or so books.

Because the remarks of Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao have greatly affected these newspaper guys who have been dealing with them for a long time. The newspaper guys think that these people are the authority of cartoonists. Even though Yin Jun is the author of the story in this comic book, the painters are the elites of Shanghai Animation Film Studio.

However, the facts slapped these short-sighted newspaper guys in the face.

As the working hours approached, it took about half an hour for the comic books to be sold out one by one, and people kept coming to the newspaper stand to ask if there was "Kirin Weekly".

Only then did they know that there are so many fans of Yin Jun, these people don't talk much on weekdays, but when it's time to show action, they will directly stand up and support him with practical actions.

Originally, the newspaper guys were all planning to stabilize, but at noon, those who bought comics to the company and school, after reading the comics and spreading word of mouth, more people took advantage of the break to buy "" Kylin Weekly, there are not just a few, but dozens, even in the bustling office building area on the Central side, there are two newspaper stands with hundreds of people coming to inquire.

It is said that there are quite a few people who lost money to make reservations for newspaper guys.

Le Yiling and Zhou Yuping, who were waiting at the Kirin Printing Factory, let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered more than a dozen vans to dispatch again. Most of the replenishment this time was around 100 copies. Xiangjiang's shipments will reach 50,000 copies today.

Originally, it was considered that the first issue of the first issue would be sold out within 6 days.

Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid it will be sold out in four or five days at most, right?
