Reborn Cultural Empire

126. Black Belly Obasan

"Hey, Mr. Fujioka, is this the end?" After the reader's message on a cassette tape was played, Rogo still clicked his lips unsatisfactorily—those island country "Clouds" comics are really too kind to Fat Boss Appetite.

Especially among Yang Yi's fans, there are only more than 50 interviews in total. There are three uncles, seven fat men, and a person who is suspected of being a pseudo-mother. The "one" king shows his love.

Who are these people... These so-called fans, could it be that Kodansha deliberately asked someone to pretend to be a fool?That President Noma's mother definitely has no good intentions!These two reporters from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs definitely have no good intentions!

And Fujioka Ce, just now Yang Yi thought that the little old man was a good person, but now he is full of resentment.

Indifference or something... After being molested by so many little devils, Yang Yi is now extremely depressed and embarrassed, with a sad look on his face, he doesn't even bother to put on a calm and watery demeanor.

Fortunately, the interviews with more than 50 people passed by in a flash. When Yang Yi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, that old devil in Fujioka took out a second dv tape: "Please forgive me, here is another copy."

Excuse me?Yang Yi smiled with a complicated expression, as if he didn't care.

But in fact, if there weren't so many people here, he would have thought of pulling up the dv and throwing it on Fujioka Ce's forehead. Those small eyes were rolling around, and they didn't look at him. Did he mean to ask for forgiveness at all? ?

However, the development of things is often independent of personal will, and now, except for Yang Yi, the rest of the people in the meeting room seem to be extremely satisfied with this gift from Kodansha, and they can't wait to see each other. The hungry and thirsty appearance that can be seen first.

"I won't change the tape." Yang said expressionlessly.

Everyone said "Oh", and Fujioka bowed again: "I'm really sorry for causing trouble to Jun Yang, so let Hirakawa come."

As soon as he took out the [-] points of the dv, he was ready to take it. When Yang Yi saw that he couldn't escape, he put on the second tape with a sad face.

BS Manga Night Talk is the NHK satellite channel of the island country. It was a manga review program launched in 96. The hosts include the otaku king Touji Okada, manga critic Natsume Fangosuke... In short, they are all otaku. Housewives favorite character.The comics that were used to comment are also works with considerable influence and strength.

Such as "Dragon Ball", such as "Slam Dunk" and so on.

Of course, there are also some obscure works that are not very well-known, but these niche works are definitely not those shoddy things, otherwise they are not qualified to be commented on.

Therefore, although this program was aired irregularly from the beginning, and each episode only commented on one manga, there are still a considerable number of otaku because of the aura of the first professional manga commentary program in the island country. When you see the program preview, you will wait in front of the TV early.

But this time, the bs manga night talk actually used "Clouds and Desolation". It can be said that the collaboration between Yang Yi and Su Wan is almost a phenomenon in the island country.

A rare honor, at least in comics.

On the screen, Toshio Okada, the former president of Gainax, is holding a beautifully crafted manga, talking to the guests around him. The man next to him has a short crew cut and a layer of stubble. The top two buttons of the white shirt are still unbuttoned. At first glance, it looks a bit like Director Jiang Wenjiang. Isn’t this Takehiko Inoue?

And the one on the far side is the manga critic Natsume Fangosuke, who is now also nodding beside the two of them. At the end of the show, there is his column "Natsume's Eye", which is the most important thing for senior manga fans. link.

"Uh, Mr. Inoue, and Mr. Xia Mu, I think the two of you already know the works we are going to discuss in this program!"

"Ha, look at what you said, President Okada, I'm really looking forward to the manga to be reviewed this time!"

Seeing this, Yang Yiye has a rough idea. The role of Natsume Fangosuke in this program is to explain the advantages and disadvantages and characteristics of a manga from the perspective of professional painting skills and storyboarding techniques. Now listen to him That being said, haven't all the otaku in front of the TV been whetted?

Another special guest, Takehiko Inoue, also had a curious look on his face: "Really, I really didn't expect that a foreign manga could make such a big splash in our market! To be honest, I still don't know I'm really jealous! Just look at the picture of the artist, the little girl called Her Highness 'Zero', she is so young and shocking!"

Rogo and the senior executives of Siyue didn't know the three big men on the screen, they were just laughing, thinking that the three men could make a play.

But the Kodansha editors who came from the island country are very aware of the influence of the three men on the screen. Although it is the second time they have seen this program, there is still a lingering admiration in their eyes.

Hearing what the two said in the camera, Okada laughed at the camera: "So speaking of this, I think everyone knows which manga we are going to review this time?"

The scene changed suddenly. It was because the camera had been switched in the program. What was being played was a promotional video specially produced by Kodansha for the promotion of "Yun Huang".Of course, Yang Yi also contributed the animation CG used on New Year's Day.

Wow!The sub-camera came out, and the picture below is the reaction of some otaku when they saw the animation promotional film for the first time, clenching their fists, holding their chests together... and watching and watching, kneeling behind the coffee table The victim who climbed to the front of the TV.

Okada pointed to the picture in the lower right corner of the screen with an exaggerated expression. It was a dead house that crawled to the front of the TV and stared at the picture.

The former president laughed loudly: "Oh, what are you doing? Congratulations to our Highness 'Zero'?"

There was also a burst of laughter in the dubbing, and then Okada coughed twice: "Okay, then I will officially introduce our review comics today, "Yunhuang" from the other side of the sea!"

As soon as Okada finished speaking, two of the other three guests on the show were obviously taken aback, and one of them raised his hand.

"Eh? Do you have any questions, Mr. Xiaoshan?"

In the bs manga night talk program, in addition to Toshio Goda and Funosuke Natsume who are the hosts, there will usually be one or two guests from the manga world, and one or two guests from the non-manga world.The role of the latter is to help evaluate the focus comics of the current period from a layman's point of view, so as to give the audience a more direct and comprehensive impression.

"President Okada, you just said that this manga came from the other side of the sea?"

The 30-year-old Xiao Shanming is an assistant director in the entertainment industry. Not long ago, he watched "Clouds and Desolation" on the recommendation of a friend, and immediately became a loyal reader of "Cloud and Desolation".But he is busy with work, so he can only flip through the manga in his spare time, and he really doesn't know the origin of the manga.

"Hey! President Okada, what's going on?" Natsume Funosuke looked at Okada seriously on purpose: "Why, there are some guests who don't know that "Yunhuang" is a Chinese manga!"

"Oh? Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a manga from the country across the sea, and it was sold in China. What a surprise!"

Many viewers who watched this episode in front of the TV, many of them were not fans of "Yunhuang" at first, but after seeing this, before the hosts analyzed and introduced the content of the comics in detail, they had already expressed interest in "Yunhuang" Great interest arose.

NHK is a living Lei Feng!After hearing another translator's instant translation, even Rogo became aroused by this island TV station that had never met before. Isn't this episode of the program released to help Siyue advertise in disguise?

"Okay, don't make such a look, it's really scary, Natsume-sensei!" Okada chuckled, and finally brought the conversation back to the topic: "Mr. Inoue, can I ask you first, the first time I read it How do you feel when you arrive at "The Desolation of Clouds"!"

"Amazing! People can't help but be amazed from the bottom of my heart!"

Takehiko Inoue looked serious: "It's like the first time I saw Lake Balang and Mt. Osor, I was shocked from the bottom of my heart! But the world of "Yunhuang" is far more grand and vast than the real place. Just thinking about the world setting in it, I can't help but be amazed!"

Many loyal readers of "Slam Dunk" were immediately amazed. There is also a work that can make Inoue Dashen give a thumbs up just by setting it?

Curiosity is infinitely high.

Okada thought for a while and then reminded: "Yes, it is a grand setting, which is different from those backgrounds that are frequently in the universe and planets. The story of "Desolation of Clouds" obviously only happened in a sea of ​​prehistoric desolation, but it makes people I feel the vastness of this world! I seem to vaguely see the shadow of "Twelve Kingdoms"!"

"This also shows how big the author's heart is!" Natsume Fangosuke nodded: "But when it comes to "Twelve Kingdoms", Ono-Master himself once said that the inspiration for her works also comes from Speaking of the ancient books and legends of China, it is not surprising that the two works appear to have similar styles!"

"But to be honest! From my personal point of view, the work of "Clouds and Desolation" seems to have a more mellow taste!" Another bookstore owner who was a guest couldn't help but speak.

"That smell! What kind of smell?" Several people looked at him together.

"It's that kind, fairy! Heavenly..." The bookstore owner racked his brains to think of adjectives, while using gestures to strengthen his tone.

In the end, it was Okada who was well-informed and insightful: "Like the one described in the previous book, the Tang Dynasty of that country? The majestic atmosphere? A vastness that people can't help but feel heartbroken after seeing it? "

"Yoshi! President Okada finally spoke my mind!"

Seeing this small clip, Luo Ge and the others hadn't noticed anything yet, only Yang Yi couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.

This response seems to have met his expectations.Why do I insist on "Sinicizing" "One Piece", "Fullmetal Alchemist"... and other Japanese manga?

Isn't it just to achieve this subtle effect of cultural aggression?

Isn't it just that in the previous life, those generations who have grown up watching the time can remember something about their own nation?While they are enjoying "Yunhuang", they will be interested in Cangwu, Daze, and Tianmu mentioned in it; they know that the earliest Lingshan is not the treasure hall of the Western Great Buddha, but the residence of ten witches; because they have read " "Cloud Desolation", but have the patience and interest to research and consult relevant ancient books...

Now it seems that the effect has already begun to show.

"Indeed, I also have such a feeling!" Natsume Fangosuke echoed: "Speaking of which, I really admire the ideas of the two manga artists!"

"Eh? Speaking of which, the conception is due to Mr. Yi?" Okada suddenly thought of something: "There is a clear division of labor between the two authors! Mr. Inoue, Mr. Xia Mu, pay attention Reached?"

"It's really like this, 'One' is written, 'Zero' is drawn! This is not the case in our domestic comics industry!"

"I do know that there is a rumor!" The bookstore owner who was the special guest couldn't help breaking the news when he heard this: "Recently, customers often come to my bookstore to buy "Yunhuang". I heard from some Chinese students studying abroad that Mr. "Yi" gave up drawing by himself for some special reasons, and let His Royal Highness "Zero" paint on his behalf."

What?Have a special reason?Rumors among Chinese students studying abroad?

Almost all the audience were aroused with strong curiosity at this moment.

It turns out that the mysterious 'one' with hidden head and tail is really something hidden!

Seeing this, Yang Yi couldn't bear it anymore. Nima, is this the most professional comic review program?

Director, please keep your kryptonite eyes wide open to see what these hosts are talking about?Is this a manga review?Or a weekly gossip file?

But what Yang Yi saw now was the recording of the program three days ago, even if he went to NHK now, it was useless.

"According to those Chinese students, His Royal Highnesses 'One' and 'Zero' are childhood sweethearts..."

Yang Yi almost spat blood onto the LCD screen, and everyone in Siyue also looked at Yang Yi and Su Wan with strange expressions.

"Mr. Yi has always wanted to make a career in the comics industry since he was a child, so His Royal Highness 'Zero' has been saving money to encourage his lover since he was a child. After more than ten years of hard work, Mr. 'Yi''s "Yun Huang" is finally about to be released. When she was glorious, she lost her arms in an accident, and her face was also destroyed! And His Royal Highness 'Zero' resolutely stood at the front desk at this time, ghostwriting for his lover, and became a couple of admirable husband and wife cartoonists!"

"Hahahaha! Both hands and faces are ruined, and lovers will never leave! Oh my god, what kind of enmity is this for someone to arrange you like this, Xiaoyi!"

Rogo almost rolled with laughter, but this was far from over. Another guest who hadn't spoken since the beginning was probably driven by the gossip atmosphere at the scene, so he raised the microphone: "It's really strange, Why didn't I hear this version? It is said that Mr. 'Yi' belonged to that kind of scary-looking but very talented guy since he was a child. In order not to affect the sales of "Yunhuang", he insisted not to release photos!"

Yang Yi really couldn't bear to watch it any longer. He had to wait for a while, how many weird remarks would come out?So I stood up and nodded apologetically, "Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom!"

"Yeah, why don't you go after watching it?" Rogo greeted him kindly.

What answered him was a figure who hurriedly almost fled away.
