Chapter 295 0295, If the East Is Dark, the West Will Be Bright (2)
Yunfeng was stunned. What is "the east is dark and the west is bright"?
Zheng Rong sat down opposite him and said, "The sales of your "Fullmetal Alchemist" in China have declined, but in the island country, the sales have doubled every day. Yesterday alone, the online and offline sales exceeded three million."
Yunfeng was surprised and said, "Is it selling so well?"
The island country on the blue planet has a large population of more than 200 million.
It is also a comic country, but the xenophobia is more serious. Even the comics of MD Company cannot beat the local comics.
This is indeed unexpected.
But...
It is also very interesting, because although the comic "Fullmetal Alchemist" is not created with the island country as the background, it itself comes from the island country on Earth.
Zheng Rong smiled and said, "I was shocked when I saw the sales data from the island country just now. Wow, it directly broke the daily sales record of non-island comics. You know, this record was set by MD's "Superhuman" comic five years ago and has never been broken."
In fact, the three comics "Wind and Cloud", "Slam Dunk" and "Chinese Cooking Master" are also sold online and offline in the island country, but the sales are just tepid. I never thought that the hit would be the comic "Fullmetal Alchemist".
Isn't this "the east is not bright, the west is bright"?
Zheng Rong then sighed and said, "The online electronic version has AI intelligent translation, but the offline picture album has no translation. The sales of comics in the island country are mostly offline picture albums. I think if there is a Japanese version, the sales will be even better."
Although Chinese has become a universal language in the world, and various countries have set up Chinese courses in their subjects, it is difficult to learn and the pass rate is very low. In addition, AI intelligent translation is very developed now. When you need to use Chinese, just download an App on your mobile phone.
Yunfeng heard this and said with a smile: "Then it would be nice to translate a Japanese version. It's not that troublesome."
In the previous life on Earth, those American and Japanese comics were all translated from American to Chinese and from Japanese to Chinese.
Zheng Rong slapped his forehead, shook his head and laughed: "Oh, I didn't get it right away."
He stood up from the chair and said: "I'll have someone do it now, and try to put the Japanese version on the shelves in the island country next week."
Yunfeng nodded slightly.
He was a hands-off boss who was only responsible for making suggestions, not for specific implementation.
After Zheng Rong left, Yunfeng ate the takeaway, took a rest, and opened Sakura Comics on the computer, which is the largest comic website in the island country.
Click into the sales ranking list of the day.
1, Kawata Hikaru, "The Law of Death", purchased and downloaded 1141541.
2, Hiraga Kenji, "Guardian Magical Girl", purchased and downloaded 1022002.
3. Shuntaro Fujisaki, "Kendo Master Mingyi", purchased and downloaded 941,419 times.
4. Kazuma Tani, "Tokyo Villain", purchased and downloaded 802,014 times.
5. Hiroshi Takemoto, "Tokyo Girls' Gakuen", purchased and downloaded 733,880 times.
…
"Fullmetal Alchemist" ranked eighth, with 520,541 purchases and downloads.
The results are really good. Among the top 20, only this one is not a native comic of the island country.
Yunfeng curiously went to the comment area to take a look.
【しょうー】: It is a clear stream among the comics I have read, with a very powerful style of painting, and a square face, haha!
【マリンリン】: Although I think it is a bit far-fetched, it is better than many of our own comics in terms of creativity.
【ちゃんゆい】: Siguoyi, the older and deeper he becomes, the more exciting the plot becomes. The author is great!
【ちびはる】：It's really sad, and it's really beautiful.
【Yama·hi】：If you want to get something, you have to pay a price. There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world, and there is no such thing as getting it once and for all. This is an iron rule.
...
Nearly 90% of the comments are in Japanese.
However.
For Yunfeng, who used [Skill Language: Stand out from the crowd·Professional Level], there is no problem.
After browsing the comment area, Yunfeng had an idea.
Since the comic "Fullmetal Alchemist" has successfully made a splash in the Japanese comic market, why not continue to work hard and publish a comic with the background of the Japanese country, and take this opportunity to completely open up the Japanese comic market.
"Hmm..."
This is possible.
The Japanese comic market has great potential. There are many otakus who like to read comics and play games.
Yunfeng felt that this money must be earned.
So, he opened the system and wanted to see how many achievements there are in the current cross-border profession [Cartoonist].
[Cross-border system]
[Host: Yunfeng]
[Cross-border evaluation: skilled, at ease]
[Main occupation, writer: 111065]
[Cross-border, singer: 40103]
[Cross-border, cartoonist: 29901]
[Cross-border occupation to be activated...]
[Hint: When the writer's achievement reaches 100,000, the singer's achievement reaches 50,000, and the cartoonist's achievement reaches 10,000, activate the next cross-border occupation. ]
Although the manga "Fullmetal Alchemist" has not yet earned back the 10,000 achievements consumed, the remaining achievements are enough for customization.
Yunfeng made up his mind and would not hesitate.
He began to search in his memory, which comics on Earth in his previous life were created with the island country as the background, and were relatively famous.
Langxin Jianke?
Sengoku BASARA?
Hikaru no Go?
…
"Hey, got it!"
Yunfeng thought of a very suitable comic.
The important thing is that the keywords are very easy to find.
Without wasting time, after a while of operation, a prompt sounded in his mind: "Ding Dong, the host consumed 10,000 achievements of the cross-border profession [Cartoonist], used [Special Identity·Exclusive Customizer] to customize successfully, and obtained a customized resource."
"Huh..."
Took a deep breath.
Yunfeng switched to the system warehouse and reached out and gently clicked the purple icon lying inside.
The resource information was displayed as: [Customized comic: "Initial D"].
"Perfect!"
Yunfeng almost laughed out loud.
A very classic comic on Earth in the previous life was also adapted into an animation and movie of the same name. It became the sales champion of the local comics in Hong Kong and the island country with a sales volume of more than 20,000 copies as soon as it was published.
The author adopts the traditional realistic style, and has attracted many car fans with its innovative racing themes, ups and downs of the plot, and detailed and professional explanation of racing. Even readers who don't know much about cars will be interested in it. Even the production staff of the famous PS-GAME racing game GT series read the comic "Initial D" as a textbook.
There are no edge balls and must-kill, nor are there various mysterious settings. Although the style of painting is very ordinary, it is still popular in Asia with its gripping plot, fierce confrontation and real scenery.
"Let the 'Akina Mountain Car God' shock the fans of the island country!"
Unconsciously, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Yunfeng's mouth.
When the time comes.
Change the animation and match it with a song "Dai Xia Hu".
Change the movie and match it with a song "All the Way North".
Wow, it's amazing.
