Chapter 456 0456, Hot Comic Exhibition (1)
During the meal, the four of them had a great time talking.
Tang Ze Hirofumi expressed his love for Yun Feng's works, especially the martial arts comics with Chinese characteristics such as "Feng Yun", "Diao Ren" and "Four Famous Detectives".
In order to understand the comic market in the island country, Yun Feng went to scan the top 30 comics in the sales list. The works of Tang Ze Hirofumi were the most impressive, because his works were short comics.
The two of them were talking about business back and forth, which made Tang Yu and Tsuchiya Kazuo want to laugh.
The meal was coming to an end.
Tsuchiya Kazuo introduced the desserts that the waiter had just brought up: "Yun Sang, Tang Sang, these are the more famous Uji Kintoki, three-color dumplings and taiyaki in our island country. You can try them and see if they suit your appetite."
Uji Kintoki - a kind of dessert made by boiling green tea syrup made from Japanese tea, sugar and water and pouring it on shaved ice, with red beans boiled in sugar on the side to make a colorful dessert.
Three-color dango - a Japanese dessert, made of glutinous rice wrapped with stuffing and steamed, with a soft and delicious texture.
Taiyaki - a dessert originated in Tokyo, mainly made of flour, sugar, milk and baking soda, and made into a Japanese confectionery shaped like a sea bream.
Yunfeng and Tang Yu are not picky about food, as long as it is not too "dark" and "heavy", they are used to it.
They evaluated the three desserts with the three-word "very delicious".
Seeing that Yunfeng had almost finished eating, Tang Ze Hirofumi asked: "Yun Sang, what do you think of the sentence 'Comics are far inferior to movies, TV series, and dramas, and are for children'?"
Yunfeng wiped his mouth with a napkin and glanced at Tang Ze Hirofumi.
He thought, he has been drawing comics for more than ten years, and he is still troubled by such words?
After a moment of silence, he smiled faintly and said, "In fact, my understanding is that comics are the same as other art media, like movies, TV series, and dramas, they are all expressing and telling stories, but the expression methods are different.
They all have their own advantages. Comics also pay attention to issues such as light and shade, composition and layout. Sometimes the plot and rhythm of comics are no worse than those of real TV movies, or even better.
If you only think that comics are for children, then your understanding of this thing is really superficial. However, it is understandable that you have the same attitude towards things that you are not interested in, just like I don't watch Korean dramas. A form of entertainment, you have your choice, I have my hobby, there is no need to belittle either side. "
Tang Ze Hirofumi was really listening, nodding in agreement from time to time, and sometimes falling into deep thought. When Yunfeng finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Yun Sang, what do you think of the sentence 'Comics will inevitably decline'?"
Yunfeng shrugged and said, "In fact, every cultural product will go through the process of germination, growth, peak, and decline. Comics or novels, because of their own limitations, changes in the times, competition from peers and other restrictions, it is inevitable that they will eventually decline."
This is not pessimism, but a fact that must be acknowledged.
Tang Ze Hirofumi was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Thank you Yun Sang, today's conversation with you has benefited me a lot. I hope there will be such an opportunity in the future."
Yunfeng smiled and said, "A leaf of duckweed returns to the sea, and people will meet everywhere."
Hearing this, Tang Ze Hirofumi and Tsuchiya Kazuo were both stunned. They both knew it was "poetry", but with the current level of Chinese, it takes a little time to figure it out before they can understand it.
Even a piece of duckweed can meet in the vast sea, and people with destiny will meet each other no matter how big the world is.
Look.
The next morning, they met again at the CM Comic Exhibition.
"Yun Sang, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." Tang Ze Hirofumi greeted happily.
"I guess this is fate." Yun Feng joked.
Although he didn't ask yesterday, Tang Ze Hirofumi has been drawing comics for more than ten years, and the sales of his works have always been very good. He is also one of the pillars of Hana no Satoshi, so how could he not be invited to the CM Comic Exhibition.
On Yun Feng's side, Zheng Rong was directing the staff to make the final arrangements for the booth.
"Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, Dao Ma, Xiao Qi, Wu Qing, Tie Shou, Zhui Ming, Leng Xue..." Tang Ze Hirofumi saw the anime character models in the most conspicuous part of the entire booth at first glance.
Judging from his reaction and expression, he really likes Yun Feng's martial arts comics.
After chatting for a while, the time came to ten o'clock in the morning, and the CM Comic Exhibition was officially open to the public.
Countless comic fans poured into the venue.
Some had a plan, holding a guide map in hand and went straight to their favorite booth; some came to join in the fun, and started to visit booths one by one from the beginning.
Kimura Takaki belongs to the latter.
After visiting the local anime booth, he saw that it was still early, so he went to the foreign area.
First, he came to the booth of MD Company in the United States.
The five booths connected here are all theirs, with as many as hundreds of superhero comics albums, peripherals, games, etc. for comic fans to enjoy.
Kimura Takaki looked for a while, but he was not interested, so he went to the next booth.
Next door is the booth of DP Company in the Republic of Korea.
Compared with the large and numerous booths of MD Company, the booth of DP Company seems small and empty.
Kimura Takaki just took a few glances and left, love comics are not his cup of tea.
Along the way, there were not many people in several popular foreign booths.
Kimura Takaki yawned and planned to leave.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Kimura Takaki saw a booth with a huge crowd of people, which was more popular than any booth he had seen before. After careful confirmation, he found that this booth was in the overseas area.
Driven by curiosity, he walked over quickly.
"Hey, hey, don't cut in line, go to the back!"
"The flow has been limited, don't squeeze forward."
...
"There are so many people, will there be gifts after entering?"
"Yes, of course, because they are distributed according to time periods."
...
"I heard that Karasawa Hirofumi came here to help support the booth?"
"Yes, yes, yes, in order to see the new work announced at 4 pm. In the preview just released, the main characters are super cute."
...
Kimura Takaki listened for a while, but still didn't understand why people came here, until he saw a one-to-one model of Super Saiyan Sun Wukong.
It turned out that this booth belonged to Yunfeng, a cartoonist from China.
He has seen "Initial D" and is also following "Dragon Ball", so he is considered a half fan.
How do you say half?
Because he is open to all comics, he will read them whenever he has time.
Of course, foreign comics must be popular, otherwise they cannot be found in the island country.
Kimura Takaki roughly calculated the waiting time and thought he would have a chance to get in at 4 o'clock.
"Well... let's wait a little longer."
