Chapter 82: Two Comics
In mid-June, two mini 4x4 cartoons appeared at the Flame Publishing House. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although Lin Qi gave the plot outline of "Four-wheel Drive Kid" for reference, it did not let the cartoonist completely copy it, it was just a reference.
So, two different comics appeared - "4WD Hero" and "4WD Hero".
Feng Zhiming and Zhao Rude co-authored "Four-wheel Drive Heroes", which is similar to "Four-wheel Drive Kid", but it is not exactly the same. After all, Lin Qi only gave a summary of the plot, but did not give more details.
"Four-wheel drive heroes" tells the story of a poor child, Bai Yi, whose only hobby since childhood was to buy all kinds of worn-out electric toys from the scrap recycling station, and then, he spared no effort to repair those rags and turn them into beloved toys. One day, I learned that Hong Kong tycoon Lin Wanhao held the World Mini 4WD Competition, with a prize of up to 1 million.
With the encouragement of his family, Tsubasa prepares to participate in the competition.
Daytime Wing takes his battered modified four-wheel drive car and tests it on the school playground. As a result, the rich second-generation who was humiliated by playing high-end remote-controlled cars, and the four-wheel drive car, which was regarded as a treasure, was also knocked over by a much larger remote-controlled car.
In the course of the conflict, Li Tian, the rich second generation, learned that the poor boy actually had to participate in the four-wheel drive race, so he contemptuously said that the poor ghost couldn't even afford dozens of toys, and he still participated in the four-wheel drive race. In the mouth, the whole 4WD race is treated as garbage.
Then, the indignation of Alice, the girl in the scene, was aroused, because Alice's younger brother was a die-hard fan of mini four-wheel drive. And Alice is also in favor of his younger brother Tom, designing and modifying various mini four-wheel drives.
And, Alice said, that kind of remote-controlled toy is worthless. The mini four-wheel drive race is a game that really tests men's wisdom and enthusiasm.
In order to humiliate Bai Yi, the rich second-generation Li Tian proposed to use a mini four-wheel drive car for the competition, and he would buy the most expensive and best four-wheel drive car - even if he didn't like such a thing as a four-wheel drive car, but he had to prove that money was everything, and the bet - whoever loses will have to compensate the other party for his four-wheel drive.
After being encouraged by the blonde girl Alice, Bai Yi made a bet with the rich second-generation Li Tian that he could modify a stronger four-wheel drive car......
Next, it is around the modification of four-wheel drive, and Bai Yi and Alice and Tom have become friends because of their hobby of four-wheel drive. Tom said he was willing to sponsor a better car chassis and electric motor, but Bai Yi said that only his own modified four-wheel drive car was the best four-wheel drive.
A few days later, Daywing completed his work - Angel Wings!
In the subsequent battle, the angel wings made by Bai Yiyi defeated the Devil's Heart that the rich second generation bought at a high price in the market, and after the rich second generation lost the game, he became angry and actually crushed the lost bet on the Devil's Heart four-wheel drive.
Tsubasa felt very distressed, because the Demon Heart was a top-of-the-line mini 4WD that he couldn't afford, but he would lose the race without targeted modifications. He then recycled the Demon Heart's materials, such as the chassis, wheels, and various parts, to strengthen his angel wings.
The follow-up plot is to participate in one game after another, and the specifications of the game will of course change.
From the Chinese 4WD Finals, the Asian 4WD Competition, and the Global 4WD Finals. Even the Olympic Games have a mini four-wheel drive event.
To put it simply, this comic has changed the world, and in this plot world, the status of mini 4x4 has been elevated to a level similar to football.
This comic doesn't have the traditional Hong Kong comics' fight and kill at all, but the impact is very good. Moreover, it is completely around the theme of mini 4x4, which gives readers a sense of substitution.
Adults are fine, but if children are attracted to comics, most of them will cry to their parents for the same four-wheel drive car as in comic books.
……
The other is a "four-wheel drive" written by Li Zhiqing, which was originally a mini four-wheel drive car, incorporating martial arts and fantasy elements. That is to say, the mini four-wheel drive competition was actually affected by the internal strength of the mind.
The protagonist Guo Ziyun, the family heirloom Jiuyang True Scripture, entered the Jiuyang True Qi into the "Burning Sun" four-wheel drive car, the battery and the engine, because of his internal power input, when the battery power was exhausted, it actually emitted a flame similar to half burning, and won the game in one fell swoop.
In the later stage, the opponent's four-wheel drive car had a freezing effect, freezing other people's four-wheel drive vehicles and falling to the outside. There is also the ability to use sword qi to destroy the opponent's four-wheel drive vehicle from a distance, and there is also the Dafa of Star Sucking, which can suck the power and true qi of the opponent's four-wheel drive vehicle dry, and its own four-wheel drive vehicle is getting stronger and stronger.
……
Although "Four-wheel Drive Hero" is more in line with Lin Qi's requirements, it is also a bit creative to see "Four-wheel Drive".
In addition, in terms of subject matter, "Four-wheel Drive" may attract traditional martial arts lovers. As long as martial arts enthusiasts are fascinated, it is possible that they will also be converted into four-wheel drive enthusiasts in the future.
So, Lin Qi decided to serialize both of these comics, however, it was not a single book, after all, the two are not well-known, unlike the "Breaking the Sky" comic book has novels that can borrow popularity, so the new serialization decided to be serialized in the magazine.
However, Hong Kong's comic industry is different from Japan's, which has several top-tier comic publications with a circulation of several millions, which can attract popularity for new comics.
However, Hong Kong basically operates a single book as a magazine, and sometimes, in order to promote new comics, some new comic content will be included in each issue of popular old comics. After the content of the gift has become famous, it will be released independently and in the form of a single book of 34 pages per issue.
It is precisely because there is no comic magazine as a platform, therefore, Hong Kong comics' hematopoietic ability is relatively weak, and it is relatively difficult to get up with new serialized comics.
Therefore, Lin Qi asked the Holy Flame Publishing House to create a special comic magazine "Juvenile Hong Kong Comic Weekly", which has a different definition from traditional Hong Kong comics.
Traditional Hong Kong comics, although there are many young readers, are gradually getting closer and closer to the youth and adult market. In the 21st century, Hong Kong Man is more dependent on thirty or forty-year-old old readers as the main force, these old readers are getting fewer and fewer, there are few new readers, and the Hong Kong Man market is gradually withering!
Through the successful experience of Japanese manga, it is necessary to delineate the readership of manga between the ages of 12~20, and readers of this age group are attracted, and many people will habitually read manga as adults in the future.
As for the market under 12 years old...... That's a sub-supply, or a young children's anime.
Now it seems that it is the largest market, and even bigger than the comic market for teenagers. But this young anime market has a huge flaw - there are no die-hard fans. As young children grow up, few people continue to fan such young works.
Because, at the stage when teenagers' values are gradually growing, their values are close to adulthood, but they are not stereotyped. During this period, many preferences are accepted, and after adulthood, there is a high probability that they will continue to maintain this aesthetic taste.
Many years to old age, there is no fundamental difference between his preferences and his own 12~20 years old. The aesthetics of youth will affect a lifetime.
