Chapter 762: "Slam Dunk" is on fire
How popular is "Slam Dunk" in China right now? The series began selling two copies a week at the end of September, and sold 300,000 copies in the first month.
Of course, 300,000 copies are not much, when the Transformers comics were sold on Hong Kong Island, which has a population of only 6 million, nearly 200,000 copies were sold in a month, but don't forget, the kind of place on Hong Kong Island is too small, and a pop culture will instantly become a household name as soon as it comes out, and Transformers comics have become popular on Hong Kong Island, but the best sales have not exceeded 400,000 copies per month, and the consumption potential of that place is too small.
This is not the case in the mainland, a district in the capital is comparable to a Hong Kong island, coupled with the lack of smooth information, the comic "Slam Dunk" was basically sold in the capital in the first month, that is to say, 300,000 copies were bought by the people of the capital.
The current population of the capital is not yet 10 million in 20 years, but it is not less than that of Hong Kong Island, and the sales of 300,000 copies are instantly close to Hong Kong Island.
Moreover, there are a lot of bookstalls in this era, and most readers will not spend a dime to buy books, but spend a dime to squat in front of the bookstall for more than ten minutes.
If you count these people, there will be at least five or six hundred thousand readers of "Slam Dunk" in a month.
With the release of "Slam Dunk" to surrounding cities, sales have also skyrocketed, breaking through the 500,000 mark in the second month, and there are signs of expensive paper in Luoyang for a while.
This cartoon has also attracted the attention of many government departments, after all, it is necessary to grasp the construction of the spiritual civilization of the common people at all times, and as a result, they were also attracted to it at a glance.
And the author of this set of cartoons turned out to be Liu Lang, even if some high-level officials think that the dialogue in this book is too "exaggerated", but no one goes to trouble Liu Lang, people's arms are thicker than their thighs, except for the real national high-level, no one dares to argue with Liu Lang, as for those real high-level, it is not enough to treat Liu Lang as a treasure!
Of course, in the final analysis, the comic "Slam Dunk" is really good, the great leader once said: young people have to be as vigorous as the sun at eight or nine o'clock, this spirit can be found in the book, this is positive energy, must be promoted, as for those details will not pay too much attention.
The leaders look at the positive energy, and those ordinary readers see the refreshing, the book on the sport of basketball is too beautiful, the dribbling chic, the shooting elegant, the dunk domineering, every picture is very exquisite, even the subtle feelings caused by the facial changes are clear.
Although "Slam Dunk" describes the story of basketball and life of middle school students, those painters are all Chinese painters, and Lu Chunzhong's level is not comparable to the original author of the archipelago in the previous life, of course, there are still differences between pop culture and traditional culture, in order to make up for this difference, Liu Lang asked Wen Wenqi, the author of "Crazy Boy", to join "Slam Dunk" The drawing group,The popular drawing techniques have been added to this comic.,The result is very good.,For example, the facial expressions of the characters are drawn with both the delicacy of Chinese painting.,There are also the edges and corners of pop culture.,Each comic has a certain collection value.。
Striving for perfection is the requirement of Shengtang Company for painting.
It's no wonder that a well-drawn comic strip is not popular, especially in China now, the trend of open thought has awakened the throbbing in the hearts of the common people, especially young people, and the worship of pop culture is becoming more and more intense, and many Western cultures are worshiped by them as classics, such as Michael?? Jackson's singing and dancing, young people scrambling to imitate it, and Hollywood movies have all influenced young people's thinking.
These things cannot be said to be bad, but after all, the country has just reformed and opened up, and many old people have more or less vigilance in the thinking of class struggle, and they feel that this is a kind of cultural aggression by the West against China and a potential threat.
But this general trend cannot be stopped at all, culture is faster than material transmission, almost the "speed of light", in the face of this "cultural aggression", the high-level people really have no way, but Liu Lang's Shengtang Company gave them a kind of enlightenment.
Many high-level executives of "Transformers" have seen the comics, there are manifestations of Chinese culture everywhere, and there are several immortals of ancient Chinese legends at the beginning of a paragraph, although it is only a glimpse, but it leaves a deep impression, and then the characters in it are also Chinese, and the storyline is also in line with traditional Chinese culture, such as responsibility, loyalty, benevolence, etc., these are positive energy, but the "props" in it are too incredible, a mobile phone is a person, and there is no "Internet" , Sitting at home, you can see real-time images of the world, this imagination is about to break through the sky, and China inside is also like in mythology, there are cars everywhere, and the buildings are almost up to the sky, is this kind of society a communism?
Of course, the book also says that the world in which the story takes place is 20 years from now, but will China be like this in 20 years? Few people believe it, and I am afraid that the United States will not be able to reach this level of technology!
However, the Transformers comic has not yet been published in China, but the Transformers cartoon has been prepared to be released in China at the end of 87, and the comic book will have to wait until 88.
Transformers has not yet been released in the mainland, but "Slam Dunk" was the first to be published, and this comic has attracted the attention of the country's top leaders as soon as it was published.
Transformers is written about the future world, but "Slam Dunk" is written in this era, and there are shadows of the current society everywhere, such as Fucheng Experimental High School, Capital High School, Shanghai high schools, these high schools are real, and the details of the characters in it are also very in line with this era, many high school students play ball are wearing green rubber shoes, wearing vests with the words of a certain factory, and the life inside is also very practical, eating with aluminum lunch boxes, riding permanent bicycles, which makes people feel very immersed, and feel that the people and things that happen inside are very close to themselves.
Of course, the details are only one side, the key is to look at the plot, whether it is an adult or a young person, as long as you pick up this book, you can't put it down, at this time, the high-level people found that the Chinese themselves can write such an excellent work, and there is no disadvantage compared with Western culture.
Such a result was beyond Liu Lang's expectations, his original intention was just to make money, and he really didn't expect that the country's high-level officials would regard it as a work that made Chinese culture proud, because of this, when Stern came to the door, the director of the national television station would take out "Slam Dunk" to show him, and there was a hint of pride in his words.
