422 The success of Initial D
AE86, as an economy sedan introduced by Toyota in 183. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Today, more than 40 years have passed.
In the intervening time, there have been several automobile revolutions.
And this car did not avoid the fate of being eliminated after all.
On Earth, this car is actually one of the most enduring and popular cars on Earth. But in Oranxing, due to the lack of "initial D", this car was completely withdrawn from the market.
The head office ceased production, the auto shop ceased to sell, and even the black market has long since lost its traces.
Only in the scrap yard can it still be vaguely seen.
When the current AE86 was reborn again because of the advent of this comic.
Countless Japanese youths and car enthusiasts want to buy an "AE86" with their Ferrari, Lamborghini and other professional sports cars at home.
When Fang Jing was eating in the restaurant, he saw a scene that surprised him.
I saw a rich kid with a famous brand, driving a tattered AE86 that emits visions from time to time and is waiting for a red light. Next to this 86, there are luxury cars such as Porsche and Bentley. Several car owners took advantage of the time to wait for the red light and chatted happily.
The owners of those luxury cars are all looking at the owners of 86 with envy. The 86, which has an extremely retro appearance, is synonymous with luxury in their eyes.
Some passers-by were also watching and exclaiming: "86, I actually saw 86." ”
"I'm so lucky, how nice it would be if I could take a picture with 86."
"If I could drive the AE86 once in my life......"
The appearance of a "Initial D" has made many Japanese teenagers' fantasies about cars change from a bold sports car to a retro 86.
And the owner of the 86 car was also secretly proud in his heart.
You must know that in order to get this 86, he not only spent as much as one million, but also went through a lot of relationships before finally getting the car keys. Naturally, he wanted to enjoy the envy of everyone, and at the same time, with the passage of the green light, AE86 rushed out first, leaving behind Porsche and other luxury cars, attracting bursts of exclamations from passers-by next to him.
"The 86 is really faster than a sports car."
"That's the real 86."
"The car that every Hijima man dreams of owning."
Passers-by spoke the minds of every Hishima man, but they didn't know it. The 86 that I just bought back is actually a classic car that is about to be scrapped. Not to mention this kind of classic car, even if it is a brand new AE86, it is impossible to outrun the current luxury car.
The reason why AE86 can take the lead is only because the owners of luxury cars want to follow behind AE86, take a few more looks, and take a few more photos.
And Fang Jing was looking at the figure of the 86 in the distance, in fact, he also had a little envy in his heart.
Because he likes the comic "Initial D" very much, he is no different from those fans, and he has a unique complex for AE86.
It's just that the complex is a complex, Fang Jing's personality is more pragmatic, and he is not ready to spend more money to start with a car at the moment.
Unless someone is willing to give one for free, Fang Jing still intends to bury this complex deep in his heart.
You must know that the price of an AE86 on the black market now, converted from yen to yuan, has also exceeded one million.
This price is already more than ten times that of the original car.
In the fluctuation of car prices, no car has ever risen more than tenfold.
It can be said that the AE86 has completely made history, and I don't know how many old car owners have made a lot of money. They didn't expect that the 86, which was abandoned in the garage, would one day become a famous car because of a comic.
Of course, many old car owners are even more reluctant to sell their cars after reading the comics.
It is for this reason that there are always very few 86s on the market, and the price is very high.
In many waste vehicle disposal sites, a gold rush has also been set off. Many people poured into the scrap car yard, and it took more than ten days to find an 86 in the sea of cars. Even if it is a scrapped 86, it can make a lot of money. Some lucky people relied on this opportunity to become a dream of getting rich overnight.
And many AE86s have gone through the transformation from scrapped cars to modified cars, and they have also returned to the track.
In many underground racing competitions on Hijima, AE86 began to appear on a regular basis. There are even races where there will be five participating cars, all of which are AE86 funny scenes.
What Fang Jing didn't even expect was that the Autumn Name Mountain, which didn't originally exist on Hishima, was also brutally brought out.
Because it is accurately described in "Initial D", Mt. Akina is located in Gunma Prefecture, and there is also one of the most classic "five consecutive hairpin bends".
Therefore, the government of Gunma Prefecture, when they saw the popularity of "Initial D", immediately came up with a brilliant idea. According to the description in the manga, an active volcano called "Mt. Haruna" was selected, and a new road was built on it, which also included the "Five Consecutive Hairpin Bend".
This is undoubtedly a means for the Gunma prefectural government to attract tourists.
As it turned out, the Gunma Prefectural Government made the right decision. Immediately after the construction of the "Five Consecutive Hairpin Bend", Gunma Prefecture's tourism industry showed explosive growth. Anyone who comes to Hijima is sure to visit Gunma Prefecture. And this "five-in-a-row hairpin bend" not only attracts Hijima riders, but also riders from all over the world.
In the mouths of the riders, the name of Mt. Haruna has long since changed to "Mt. Akina".
Many years later, the Gunma prefectural government officially named the mountain to Akinayama.
Even Fang Jing didn't expect that one of his comic works would make Hishima, which originally did not have Akinayama Mountain, have an Akinayama Mountain. When he learned the news, he was very surprised, and he didn't admire the Gunma Prefectural Government for coming up with such a good idea for economic development.
It can also be seen from these places.
"Initial D" is a manga work, how successful it has been on Hijima.
Due to the success of "Initial D", the capitalists in the Hijima comic circle have dispelled some bad ideas in their hearts. Because they know very well that it is too late to act.
With the current love of the people of Ridao for "Initial D", if the offensive is really launched, I am afraid that there will be more people who support Fang Jing.
What's more, the results of Fang Jing's "Initial D" have not dropped by one million copies for a week.
This achievement is already the result of a Hijima king-level cartoonist. In the eyes of the Japanese entertainment comic circle, Fang Jing is no longer a first-line celebrity, he is completely a superstar for a day.
I have to admit that with just one comic work, Fang Jing quietly laid a foundation in Japanese entertainment.
