158 Selling popsicles is the most profitable

At first, after Qin Han decided to draw magical girl comics, his target was "Sailor Moon". After all, this is also one of the childhood memories.,Even if you don't consider other factors.,Just think about feelings.,He will choose this work.。。

But soon, Qin Han dispelled this idea.

Because he got a message from his editor-in-charge, Xiong Zexin.

"Sailor Moon" has been serialized in Kodansha's shoujo manga magazine "Nakayosi" (meaning "good friend" in Chinese).

This magical girl manga created by Naoko Takeuchi was immediately very popular and exploded in popularity as soon as it was serialized.

Last year's most watched female manga artist in Toei, in addition to Rumiko Takahashi, was Naoko Takeuchi.

Since "Sailor Moon" is not good, Qin Han set his sights on other famous magical girl anime in his previous life.

After some hesitation between the "Magical Girl Naye" and the "Beautiful Girl of Light" series, Qin Han chose the latter.

The reason is very straightforward: the "Beautiful Girl of Light" series is more profitable.

In the ACGN two-dimensional entertainment industry, peripheral products have always been the main source of money.

And among the many peripheral products, which ones are the most profitable?

There is a sentence that can explain this problem very well: those who sell bare-ass villains are not as good as those who sell plastic robots, and those who sell plastic robots are not as good as those who sell popsicles. ”

The so-called "bare-ass villain" refers to all kinds of anime beautiful girl figures, especially those scantily clad late-night character figures. These figurines are often made of exquisite materials, exquisite details, and the expressions of the characters are vivid and very licking...... No, it is a playful and collectible value. Therefore, the price of these figurines is generally more expensive, and the threshold for entry is higher.

Moreover, buying a beautiful girl figure is a more embarrassing thing. People who have the courage to put the bare-bottomed little people in a glass cabinet and then proudly introduce them to relatives and friends are definitely heroes among otaku.

It is precisely because of the high threshold and narrow audience that the high-end products in the animation periphery, such as character figures, cannot bring more profits to merchants.

In contrast, robot toys, such as Gundam, are much more popular. Not only teenagers like it, but also uncles in their forties and fifties, who have nothing to do to do a few steel pulas, which can also be regarded as "men's romance", and will not attract the white eyes of "the dead house is really disgusting".

Robot toys are quite lucrative commodities, so much so that many robot animations were born as toy commercials, such as the famous "Transformers" series.

However, although robot toys make money, they still can't rank first in anime peripherals.

Someone once said that it is best to earn money for children.

Parents are most likely to spend irrationally when they spend money on their children. If a child wants to buy something, he may pay for it if he is soft-hearted or impulsive.

"Magical Girl Naye" is a late-night animation that is mainly aimed at the Otaku group. and "The Beautiful Girl of Light" is a sub-fan broadcast in the morning, which has a wider audience and stronger consumption power.

There was once a food manufacturer who launched the character popsicle of "Pretty Girl of Light", and the sales volume was tens of billions of yen in one summer, making a lot of money, which stunned the industry, so there is a saying that selling popsicles is the most profitable.

In addition to popsicles, other peripheral products such as candy snacks, dolls, magical girl transformers, character cards, etc., which are targeted at children, are also extremely profitable.

"Pretty Girl of Light" can be said to be the most profitable magical girl animation in history, otherwise Toei would not have been doing a full fourteen films from 2004 to 2017. And in the entire series, the one that received the most praise was the fifth "Heartcatch Pretty Girl of Light".

Because the English of the beautiful girl of light is pretty_cure, and the English pronunciation of Dongying people is always very strange, and the "cure" that is said always sounds like "Q baby", so "The Beautiful Girl of Light" is also called "Q baby". The fifth "heartcatch beautiful girl of light" is very down-to-earth and is called "Heartcatcher Q Baby" by the Chinese otaku.

Qin Han decided to draw "Scratching the Heart Q Baby", not only to create a popular magical girl manga, but also to make it into a series that will last for a long time. As long as the copyright is firmly in your hands, then you will definitely be able to count the money in the future.

Moreover, the "Beautiful Girl of Light" series is not only a very popular sub-confession, because the characters are cute, the production is excellent, the plot is quite deep, unconventional, and especially, the protagonists often have a strong lily friendship, so it attracts a lot of adult male audiences.

And these people are called Otomo (the corresponding title for children).

Therefore, it is often possible to see such a strange scene:

In the offline event of "Pretty Girl of Light", among a group of cute Loli fans, there are often a few otaku with backpacks, glasses, plaid shirts and jeans.

And netizens who see this kind of picture often leave a ridiculous message and laugh and scold: "Damn big friend!"

Well, Qin Han admitted that although he didn't have the cheekiness to mix in a bunch of loli to participate in offline activities, he was also a big friend.

But it's good to be a happy Otomo. Because, what's wrong with liking cute magical girls?!

At least,Compared to liking cute boys or big hook beautiful girls,This hobby can tell others more proudly.。

Well, probably.

To create "Grasping the Heart of Q Baby", the only obstacle Qin Han faced was that in his memory, the plot of this animation is generally remembered, but the details of the story are already a little blurred.

This is a year of 49 episodes!

Fortunately, Qin Han has a system mall.

Last time, he bought a silver prop in the system mall - memory backtracking USB flash drive, which brought the Divine Comedy "bad_apple" of the Oriental series to this world, and made a lot of contributions to the promotion of GD Fang Gensokyo Story.

Memory backtracking USB flash drive is limited to three pieces.

This time, Qin Han simply bought all the remaining two pieces - anyway, he has a lot of fame.

First of all, Qin Han picked up a memory backtracking USB flash drive and said silently: "All the "Beautiful Girl of Light" series of animations I have watched. ”

He was only tentative, and made this very greedy request.

But I didn't expect that the memory backtracking USB flash drive really restored and stored twelve series, fourteen "Beautiful Girls of Light" TV animation, and more than 20 theatrical animations.

This stunned Qin Han.

I knew that the function of the memory backtracking USB flash drive was so powerful, and the previous USB flash drive only got a song "bad_apple", wouldn't it be a waste?

Since he knew that the memory regression USB flash drive was so powerful, Qin Han simply picked up the last USB flash drive and said silently: "All the sports inspirational movies and TV series I have watched!"
