The King of Crossover Entertainment

"I didn't expect this fairy-like company to have so many comics."

"Yeah, I also thought there were only "Fullmetal Alchemist", "Initial D" and "Dragon Ball"."

…

"Compared with samurai comics, these martial arts comics are not bad at all."

"Well, the characters, battle scenes, martial arts moves, etc., have a different flavor."

…

"This Yunfeng is so awesome. He has drawn many types of comics such as martial arts, fantasy, fantasy, sports, and supernatural."

"And the amount of updates is extremely high, several times that of other comic book authors."

…

The popularity of the booth exceeded Lai Yunfeng and Zheng Rong's expectations.

You say it’s because of fame. Yunfeng’s reputation in the island country is only average. You say it’s because of the gifts. The gifts are anime character models and signed albums that other booths also gave. You say it’s because Hirobumi Karasawa is here, but there are people at other booths who are more famous than him.

Perhaps, it is because of a little bit of luck that the "herd effect" was produced.

In short, it’s a good thing.

There is still half an hour before four o'clock in the afternoon, and the only program prepared by Xianqi Company's booth is about to be staged.

Mainly because there was not enough time, we did not prepare the Ccosplay dance show, holographic projection animation show, creative staff question and answer show, etc. like other booths.

As long as Yunfeng is there, I can sing.

"Next, we invite Yunfeng, the author of many classic comics such as "Fullmetal Alchemist", "Initial D", "Dragon Ball", etc. to come on stage to sing a song for everyone!"

Yunfeng walked up to the small stage in the center of the booth and said into the microphone: "Thank you to all the comic fans for supporting Youxianqi Company. I hope you all like the song "Kun no Hao きだとcalled びたい"."

As soon as the words fell, the accompaniment started playing.

"Mom is tutoring me in black, so I can show it to you."

Uncle Hasili touched Naga in anger

If he touches it, you will touch it..."

Yunfeng sang the theme song of the "Slam Dunk" audio comic and animation, which is also the theme song of the original animation "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly".

In the island country, songs are popular, but "Slam Dunk" is not.

The reason is not only the exclusivity of the comic market in the island country, but also the fact that it was published in China at the time, the names of people and places in the original work were changed, and then published in the island country. This relationship affected sales.

"This song is really nice."

"I only read half of the comic, but when I think of the music, I feel inexplicable joy!"

"When I was a carefree student, I only had basketball in my eyes. I feel so nostalgic."

"When I heard the blood and passion in the song, I wanted to pick up the comics and read them again."

"Youth is an eternal topic."

…

Starting from the chorus, some people sang along, and it even evolved into a chorus.

No way, it is indeed easier for locals to resonate with songs in local languages.

"This Japanese, I can't tell where the accent is."

"More like standardized official Japanese."

“I just don’t know if I just learned Japanese for this song, or if I really know Japanese.”

"His Chinese songs are quite nice. If there are more Japanese songs, I will definitely buy them."

"You can have this."

…

Yunfeng's Japanese, which is more standard than the Japanese of the islanders, successfully aroused discussion.

This is because the reward [Language Skills] that was originally awarded, the languages ​​​​given to the eight countries in the world and the eight places in the country are all officially standardized.

After singing together, Yunfeng did not step down, but took on the role of host and held a lottery draw, which immediately pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

After the gifts were delivered, he said into the microphone: "Tomorrow at 12 noon, my new comic "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" will be premiered on Sakura Comics. I hope everyone will support it. I will also support you at the scene today. Give everyone a forward-looking benefit.”

I saw a 100-inch projection screen slowly falling from the top of the small stage, and then the first episode of the "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" audio comic was played.

Since it is to impact the comics market in the island country, the audio comics and animations are naturally dubbed in Japanese.

[Chapter 1: Seems like I saw it in a dream

With his beloved family and friends by his side, he is sometimes happy. Madoka Shikame, who is studying in the second grade of junior high school, lives such a peaceful life.

One night, Yuan had a magical dream...]

"Si Guoyi, I like this style of painting!"

"A healing school story?"

"Exquisite pictures and brilliant colors."

"I have the desire to continue watching."

"You can't tell much from just one sentence, but if it continues to be this kind of bland life story later on, it will be difficult to become a hit."

…

Judging from the reactions of comic fans at the scene, some liked it, some thought it was just average, and some were not impressed.

but.

They did not hesitate to praise the cute Madoka and the exquisite and delicate pictures.

Yunfeng is quite confident about this "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". First, the original work is very popular in the island country, and even very popular in China. Second, the customized manga is a one-to-one reproduction of the animation. The integrity of any castration is very high, and the third is the advantage of full-color production and excellent production.

However.

Although episodes 1 and 2 updated on the first day of release sold very well and entered the top three in the single-day sales list, the response was mediocre.

"As I said yesterday, the plot is too bland."

"We don't know how many comics like this are sold with 'girly', 'cute' and 'healing' as selling points."

"What a pity, I waited for a day in vain."

"It's cheating us."

"It's still worth watching, at least the characters and the picture accuracy are much better than other similar comics."

...

The ratings from Japanese comic fans are almost all 2~5 points, making it the lowest among all Yunfeng comics, and the first comic that did not pass the passing line of 6 points.

"Can we enter the comic market as we want and become popular as we want?"

"You overestimate your ability."

"Even a strong company like MD can't stand on its own, and there are two words for you: 'Haha'!"

"The comic genre is a hot genre, but without the support of high-quality plots or imaginative settings, it's useless no matter how good other aspects are."

"Go back and practice more, learn more, you are still young, there are plenty of opportunities."

...

The major comic publishers in the island country saw the poor rating of Yunfeng's "Magician Madoka" and ruthlessly mocked it.

But.

No one knows that this is just history repeating itself.

If there is a flaw in the manga "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", it is not that there is none, but that it is "too slow to warm up".

There are only 12 episodes in total, and it didn't reach its peak until the third episode, isn't it slow to warm up?

The original animation was ranked first on 2CH's January 2011 new series expectation list because of its luxurious production lineup before it was broadcast. However, after it was broadcast, the response was mediocre. It was not until the third episode was broadcast, completely abandoning the previous healing plot, that the number of BD/DVD pre-orders increased sharply, becoming the number one pre-order for January new series.
