Chapter 171 Serial

In the next few days, Beizhou Comics went all out.

"Initial D" is a work that has not been serialized yet, but their recent publicity resources have been tilted towards Initial D to a great extent.

In bookstores, subway stations, bus bodies, airports, train stations, major comic exhibitions, and TV GG in major first-tier cities in Longguo, promotional posters about Initial D can be seen everywhere.

In TV programs, Beizhou Comics also specially arranged some well-known comic commentators in Longguo to mention information about Initial D's works on the show.

And on the Internet, the posters of the cartoonist group of Xia Yan and Mo Ran, two extremely good-looking boys and girls, are also spreading wildly.

In the eyes of everyone in the comics industry, Beizhou Comics' behavior can be said to have obvious intentions, just to promote these two young people.

Seeing this, the other three of the four major comics companies also began to sing the opposite tune.

After all, colleagues are enemies, and the news magazines under their command who have a good relationship with them should also report this information appropriately.

[Novelists cross over to create comics? The market will tell everyone how unreliable this is. ]

[There is an essential difference between comics and novels. Don't think that if you write a novel that is slightly popular, the comics industry can replicate the success of the novel industry. ]

[The well-known cartoonist Mr. Chen Qiao criticized the behavior of Beimanhuashe. In order to create a gimmick of character setting, they actually let a novelist and an unknown girl painter team up? It is conceivable that this is why the level of the comics industry has been getting lower and lower in recent years. ]

[The industry generally does not look favorably on the quality of Initial D's comics. Most people say that the genius novelist Yuanqing may fall from the altar because of this work. ]

When Beizhou Comics began to promote Xia Yan and his works, there were also many ridicules and opposition voices in the industry.

However, Xia Yan basically didn't pay attention to these.

Because Initial D has just started to prepare for serialization, Mo Ran's creative pressure is actually average.

After all, three comic manuscripts were submitted before.

However.

Now it is the business of Xia Tang Animation Company that makes Xia Yan busy.

Although Magical Girl Madoka Magica has ended, its popularity fermentation is just the beginning.

Every day, there are a large group of people on the Internet who recommend this healing and heartwarming animation masterpiece to new animation fans.

On the official website of Xia Tang Animation Production Company, millions of animation fans come to urge for updates every day, asking for the release of the Magic Girl Madoka Magica BD.

Shanghai TV1 is even more shameless, and wants to spend money to apply for the rebroadcast of the Magic Girl Madoka Magica animation in July, the autumn animation market.

Needless to say, the popularity of this animation is now. Even if it is rebroadcast, it will definitely have a higher rating than many new autumn animations. Shanghai TV1 naturally hopes that the new season can also rely on the rebroadcast of Madoka Magica to maintain the ratings of the TV station during the unpopular time.

But Xia Yan is not willing to do it. As long as Shanghai TV1 pays that little money, Xia Yan is not interested now.

So now, a very interesting situation has appeared in the animation industry of Longguo.

On the Internet, a large group of two-dimensional people on the Internet are bragging about how great and awesome the work "Magical Girl Madoka Magica" is.

However.

Search the entire Internet, TV stations, and animation BD sales stores.

I just couldn't find any place to see the plot of the animation of Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

This directly led to the official website of Xia Yan's company. Many fans came here every day to urge the company to release the animation bd as soon as possible.

On the other hand.

After helping Xia Yan solve the comic serialization issue, Xia Yan's novel agent Bai Xuan also urged him to write a new novel quickly.

In response, Xia Yan could only reply awkwardly that her new novel was being conceived and he had to be patient.

Time entered July.

In the animation market in July, the popularity of Puella Magi Madoka Magica's animation was still in an active period.

It has been several days since July. On the major mainstream animation forums and communities in Longguo, most of the posts are still discussing information about Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

It can only be said that the popularity and staying power of this animation are so terrifying.

Madoka Magica animated theatrical production, storyboard drafts and script writing for Initial D, final exams at school, and daily discussions with Mo Ran.

Xia Yan's freshman year was filled with a lot of things in the latter part of his life, but it was still meaningful in many ways.

Xia Yan was a little nervous because he failed a subject in the final exam.

He contacted Song Lingjun and learned that she had the highest score in the major again. He sighed in his heart, perverts are perverts. She was busy with the serialization of light novels while also being able to balance her studies. She was really strong.

Time passed by little by little.

At the end of the first week of July, the animation market had the highest ratings for the new animation this quarter, but only 3.01%, which was a certain degree of decline compared to the ratings of the first-placed Mechanical City last quarter.

This situation is also very simple. Many works are still influenced by Magical Girl Madoka Magica.

The animation industry witnessed the birth of this god-level animation a month ago, and now they are watching the so-called big-budget animations in the new season.

Many people find it too boring and can't watch it anymore, so their ratings will decline.

It's the second week of July.

Summer vacation is coming, and Xia Yan is freed from the complicated schoolwork.

At this time, in the week before the serialization of Initial D comics, Xia Yan and Mo Ran participated in the promotion activities of Beizhou Comics Club every day.

People may not need to leave the Magic City area, but there are all kinds of videos and photos to be taken every day, as well as interviews with some well-known people in the industry.

In the past, Xia Yan was not popular, and bookstores would not recommend resources for serialized novels.

Now there are too many promotional resources.

Xia Yan couldn't bear it.

But at least, in the initial publicity work before the serialization of Initial D, Beizhou Comics' commitment to Xia Yan was very true.

They really tried their best.

Thanks to the efforts of the comic club, the vast majority of comic fans in the entire Dragon Kingdom comic community have heard more or less through various channels that Beizhou Comics has signed a contract with a comic group and is preparing to serialize a racing car in the near future. comics.

And what kind of achievements this comic can achieve can only depend on the quality of Initial D itself.

The evening of July 14th

Mo Ran couldn't sleep alone in the quilt. He had counted sheep to three hundred and became sleepier the more he thought about it.

"Tomorrow is the serialization date of the first chapter of Initial D." Mo Ran's pupils were shining in the dark night.

Xia Yan's appearance emerged.

"Please, my comic drawing style must be liked by everyone in the comics industry. Don't choose me as a partner and let Xia Yan become a joke in the industry!" In fact, Mo Ran was most nervous about this.

She likes the story of Initial D very much, and even thinks that the first five chapters of Initial D that she knows are absolutely divinely attractive.

But if such a story cannot be well received by comic readers, then there is only one answer.

There is something wrong with her painting.

Thinking of this, Mo Ran became a little nervous. In the end, counting sheep was useless. She didn't sleep all night.

next day

July fifteenth, Friday.

Chen Tinghua got up early in the morning.

As a loyal fan of Yuan Qing's novels, he has actually never liked reading comics.

But today, I still got up so early, just to go to the bookstore early to buy the comic magazine "Beizhou".

When I arrived at the bookstore, although it was early in the morning, there were many people in the bookstore. Many people, like Chen Tinghua, got up early to buy comic journals of "Beizhou".

While waiting in line to pay, Chen Tinghua looked at the one near the cashier, which had the faces of Xia Yan and Mo Ran printed on it, and the background was behind a comic book promotion poster.

I felt a little excited in my heart.

Chen Tinghua picked up this thick comic journal and left the bookstore.

After returning home by car and making himself delicious egg noodles all night, Chen Tinghua sat down at his desk, eating noodles with his left hand and eating noodles with his right hand.

I turned to more than two hundred pages of this journal, where the initial D is serialized in this comic journal.

In the first scene, Chen Tinghua's eyes narrowed.

As a novice comic reader, he doesn't know much about comic storyboards or the quality of comic painting.

His first judgment on the work is whether it is pleasing to the eye or not.

And the comics of Initial D.

On the first page, on a dark mountain road, the only light source in the darkness is a black and white car, drifting handsomely and neatly on the steep curves of Qiuna Mountain.

So handsome

The same is true for drifting, but the car in reality looks bulky and a bit stupid. But in genres like comics and animation, the characters can be portrayed very handsomely.

It's just the first page of the comic. God knows how much effort Mo Ran spent on this page?

In the end, the effect presented on the first page of the comic made Chen Tinghua easily immersed in the content of the comic.

Young high school students, the sixteen-year-old protagonist named Tu Hai, as well as the protagonist's school friend, and the school girl Natsuki he seems to have a crush on.

The pace of Initial D is not sluggish at all. In the first few pages of the comic, all the main characters of this work appear.

But after several main characters appear, first of all, what Chen Tinghua needs to accept is the worldview information of this work.

In the parallel world, there is a country called Island Country. The area where the protagonist is located is Akina Mountain, an island country.

My classmate Wu Lei (Takeuchi Shu) is a car enthusiast, and his life goal is to buy an old AE86 car by working part-time.

Tu Hai, the aloof male protagonist whose family runs a tofu shop, also works at a gas station after school during the day.

Ikegaya, a former part-time worker at a gas station, is the captain of Akinayama's local team, Speed ​​Star.

Li You (Tachibana Yuichi), the owner of the gas station.

Chen Tinghua also knows that the first episode of most works will not have any too bizarre plots. Everyone lays out the world view and introduces the main characters in the first episode.

Imaginary world, island country, 86

These elements and information were quickly constructed in Chen Tinghua's mind.

Also, Natsuki, who is suspected to be the heroine, seems to have a rich family and a rich father who will drive her around.

A love setting between a poor boy and a rich girl? Maybe in the future, the heroine Natsuki's father will come out to give guidance to the protagonist as an old father-in-law.

Since it is a racing animation, there must be a process of growth for the protagonist.

Maybe the protagonist Tu Hai is a driving rookie, and the heroine's rich father is a speed racing expert. Later, there will be a plot in which the heroine's rich father teaches Tu Hai how to drive?

Just like in martial arts novels, the heroine's father is a peerless master and teaches the protagonist skills and experience.

Chen Tinghua is absorbing this information.

Then, after the relationships between these characters are introduced. .In the first episode of the plot, the early villain enemy appears immediately.

The one with yellow hair and driving a yellow luxury sports car is Gao Qi (Keisuke Takahashi), the younger brother of the Gao family.

Seeing this, Chen Tinghua immediately became excited.
