Tokyo, annual Hall of Fame Comic Con.
is also an annual festival in the circle, and the culture of the comic industry is completely different from that of the film industry.
Unlike the red carpet awards ceremony in the film industry, the annual Hall of Fame is essentially a comic book exhibition.
It is the largest annual comic convention in the world.
Now the vicinity of the comic convention has long been crowded, bringing together tens of thousands of comic fans from all over the world. The number of people who come is definitely no less than a king concert.
The location of the annual Hall of Fame is fixed every year, but the venue is temporary every year.
One is that there are no other large venues in Tokyo that can host the annual Hall of Fame. It's because the style of the comic con changes every year, so it's positioned to be built every year.
"Oh, what kawaii. ”
When Fang Jing arrived at the entrance of the venue, he was also amazed by the cosplay that could be seen everywhere, and he also dragged a Japanese word in passing.
Even if he himself is not an otaku obsessed with comics, he still feels like a feast for the eyes at the annual Hall of Fame at this time.
I don't know if there was a comic show of this level in the previous life.,Just talking about the country.,Any comic show is not comparable to the present.。 If you insist on taking it out and comparing it, it is equivalent to the gap between the nobles and the peasants.
People under normal conditions will choose to make a tram to come to the exhibition hall. Because cars don't drive near the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum at all, there are no parking spaces near here in Tokyo, where every inch of land is expensive.
But Fang Jing, as an invited guest, is still nominated for the year. When I came, I had already contacted the staff of the Hall of Fame in advance. Despite the traffic jam on the road, he deliberately set off an hour earlier than planned.
After all, Tokyo's gambling is no worse than that of the capital, and if you go late, you may not have a parking space.
So as soon as his car arrived, he was taken to the exclusive parking space for the guests.
As soon as the car stopped, it attracted a lot of attention, and the fans around stopped and instinctively wanted to see if this was the cartoonist who had arrived at the exhibition hall.
The reporters who had been waiting in the exhibition hall for a long time immediately looked for them like cats that smelled fish.
When Fang Jing got out of the car, the reporters pressed the shutter without hesitation.
The sound of clicking and clicking sounded, and the flash lights actually made Fang Jing, who had just gotten out of the car, a little dazed. Still, he smiled, not intending to turn down the reporters.
He came to Japan for entertainment.
It's just for popularity!
The reports of Japanese entertainment reporters will undoubtedly be of great help to his publicity in Japanese entertainment.
The reporters were also happy in their hearts, but they didn't expect to catch a big fish as soon as they came up, and they were definitely the most topical figures in this year's Hall of Fame.
, the king of Chinese entertainment, released two serialized works within a year of entering Japanese entertainment.
And the sales of both works have reached the first-class level, and "Initial D" is the highest-selling work of Japanese Entertainment this year.
Fang Jing also won the monthly Hall of Fame as a cartoonist in one fell swoop.
Now that he's coming to the annual Hall of Fame, there's nothing else to do with it, it's already news in itself.
In the face of multiple questions and answers such as Japanese entertainment, English, and Chinese entertainment, Fang Jing focused on selecting a few questions in Chinese. But these questions are relatively ordinary, all of them are asking him what he thinks about comics, whether he is confident of winning awards, but there is a novelty that asks him what kind of program he has prepared for the Spring Festival Gala.
After answering the questions one by one, Fang Jing showed a smile: "I am confident that I will win the Celebrity King of the Year." ”
This answer is obviously bragging.
He is confident that it is true that he will win the award, but it is still too difficult to win the Celebrity King of the Year.
He'll say it, just to build momentum. He doesn't need hype in China Entertainment, but he still needs to create some topics appropriately in Japanese Entertainment.
Anyway, no matter whether he can win the award or not, this sentence will bring him a certain amount of heat.
Sure enough, after he said this, he entered the "Central Pavilion" of the exhibition hall. But the Japanese entertainment fans behind him broke out into heated discussions. What Fang Jing said just now was in Japanese.
"Hey, that was Mr. Fang Jing from Huaxia just now?"
"I love his Dragon Ball. ”
"What, "Initial D" is his famous work. ”
"Although I like his works very much, it is still very difficult to win the celebrity king. ”
"Hehe, it's basically impossible. A person who doesn't even want to cosplay, even if he wins a prize, will he still have a face on stage?"
Although Fang Jing already has a lot of fans in Japanese Entertainment, few people think that he can really get the celebrity king of the year.
The periphery of the Hall of Fame Comic Con is equivalent to being open to the public for free, and anyone can come to visit the Comic Con. As for the place where the award ceremony was held, it was in a surrounded and isolated space in the Comic Con Center, which was a bit like an auditorium, which was very suitable for the award ceremony.
It has to be said that this design is very unique.
With the annual Hall of Fame awards ceremony as the core, Comic-Con can attract a large number of comic fans.
Basically, every well-known manga artist, every manga work in the hot serialization will have a booth in the outer pavilion. Relying on the rent of the booth alone can fully recover the investment cost of the Comic Con, and the harvest of holding a Comic Con is of course far more than that.
After Fang Jing walked into the Comic Con Center, he followed the guidance of a cosplay character and found what he did.
The position in the second row is not counted as the front or the back. If the unspoken rules of Japanese entertainment are the same as those of China Entertainment, then sitting in this position, the chances of winning the award are still very high.
But looking to the left, and then to the right, Fang Jing found that he was a little lonely.
In a group of Japanese entertainment cartoonists, his loneliness is unavoidable. Fang Jing had been prepared for this for a long time, and he was not uncomfortable with loneliness in his heart, but accepted it gladly. But he found something strange: "Why are even cartoonists playing cosplay?"
Those who were able to walk into the Comic Con Center to participate in the awards ceremony were all successful cartoonists in Japanese entertainment, but except for Fang Jing, who was dressed normally, the other people sitting in the seats were all playing cosplay.
That's culture.
When Fang Jing saw this phenomenon, he understood how deep the influence of comics is in Japanese entertainment.
Among all the cartoonists present, Fang Jing, who did not play cosplay, became an outlier.
"This is Mr. Fang Jing?"
Alas, he was nominated for the Hall of Fame. ”
"This Mr. Fang, didn't you know about the culture of the annual Hall of Fame in advance?"
One cartoonist after another, all of them entered the arena playing cosplay. Everyone who entered the arena would unconsciously glance at him at the position of Fang Jing, and everyone's eyes had all gone through the three stages of "surprise", "hatefulness" and "hum".
There is no doubt that Fang Jing, who does not have cosplay, has been unanimously disliked by Japanese entertainment cartoonists.
A Chinese entertainment star, even if he comes to Japan Entertainment to seize our comic market, he still doesn't respect our comic culture?
