Chapter 9 For the Sprouts of Tomorrow!
Is Inuyasha a good manga? The conclusion is debatable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the previous life, the sales of the single book of "Inuyasha" were only about 55 million copies, which is really unsatisfactory compared to the other works of Aunt Rumiko Takahashi, but the popularity of the TV version shows that the plot of the story of the manga "Inuyasha" is nothing to say!
In this life, Lin Tianyi's use of a different painting style from Aunt Takahashi's painting of "Inuyasha" undoubtedly makes up for the shortcomings of the manga "Inuyasha". Therefore, it is only natural that the single book is a big seller.
Due to the big sales of the Crescent Magazine, many publishers have set their sights on the sweet and sweet "Inuyasha", and under the matchmaking of Ouyang Jing, Lin Tianyi chose a large publishing house in Sichuan Province to publish a single edition of "Inuyasha", and the copyright share he got was the highest 15% in China.
On this day, Lin Tianyi received a message from Ouyang Jing.
The first printing of 500,000 copies sold out in less than half a month, and an additional 800,000 orders were placed.
You know, this is 2001 China, the comic market has been in China for ten years, and the comics that can have this kind of sales can be called the king of popularity!
However, there will always be one or two things that don't go your way around.
"What? That's impossible! Ouyang Jing shouted at the person in front of him.
A hint of displeasure flashed across the man's face, and he said; "Editor-in-Chief Ouyang, pay attention to your attitude, I'm here to announce the outcome of the incident, not to discuss with you, let alone to hear you say that it's impossible."
"It's because of people like you that the comic and animation market in China has not been active! Where exactly did the manga "Inuyasha" violate the rules? You can say one, two, three! Ouyang Jing scolded.
"Humph! No violations? There is no violation, why do some parents send the report letter to our General Administration of Optoelectronics? You say if you don't violate the rules, you don't violate the rules? So what else do you want us to do in the General Administration of Optoelectronics? You don't count this matter! We say it! Comics should be something for children to see, what kind of broken things do you look at and draw, what demons and ghosts, and what's going on with this bloody description? You haven't read the regulations of the General Administration of Optoelectronics on comics? Scenes of bloody violence are not allowed! What should I do if I let the children of our country see it? What should I do if I have learned badly? Not educational at all! This kind of cartoon should be banned! Also, as mentioned above. This is because all published publications should be recycled and destroyed. Your Crescent Magazine should also suspend publication and recuperate, write a letter of repentance and submit it to the General Administration of Optoelectronics, and the above will judge whether to let your Crescent Magazine resume publication according to the situation. The person who came was not polite to Ouyang Jing at all, slapped Ouyang Jing on his desk with one hand, and said sternly.
"Letter of repentance? your Mar's book of repentance! Whoever likes to write writes, anyway, Lao Tzu doesn't write! What** thing, who said that comics are for children? Just because you said it was for children, is it for children? It's obviously a group of laymen, but they just want to guide our insiders to do things, you moths that destroy the Chinese comic industry, SB get out of here! Ouyang Jing was also angry, and he didn't mean to be calm at all. How could he be calm, it was not easy to see that the crescent magazine was on the rise, but someone wanted to suppress them.
Children learn badly? What a ridiculous reason! The audience of the manga "Inuyasha" was originally defined as a group of people above teenagers, what is it about children? If you really want to talk about bad learning, why don't you talk about kissing, killing people and the like in TV dramas? Authenticity and inductiveness are stronger than manga! Just for the comics, in Ouyang Jing's opinion, this group of people is really bad in their brains!
However, Ouyang Jing was angry, and the man was even angrier than Ouyang Jing! Where has he ever seen such an editor-in-chief who dares to insult the General Administration of Optoelectronics in front of the personnel of the General Administration of Optoelectronics and Optoelectronics.
"Hmph, it seems that Editor-in-Chief Ouyang has a big temper, I will tell the above what you mean completely, you can do it yourself." After saying that, he shook his hand and left.
Shang Shaohua didn't speak beside him, and only after the people from the General Administration of Optoelectronics left, he stepped forward and asked worriedly; "Editor-in-chief, will something happen if you offend the State Administration of Optoelectronics like this?"
"Something's wrong? What else could happen? Isn't it an accident if you don't offend? This group of people is just a-stirring stick who only eats good food and does not do good things. To be honest, I've read a lot of domestic comics, but I've never seen a comic like "Inuyasha" with an interesting plot, plump characters, and first-class artwork. Do you know what I thought when I first saw Inuyasha? I'm thinking, domestic comics are about to rise! But what about now? Hasn't it been banned by the General Administration of Optoelectronics? Comics are for children, and this definition was wrong from the start! Foreign countries have begun to slowly accept that comics are all-age things, why are the brains of Huaxia supervisors always like stones in a dung pit, smelly and unenlightened, and always think that they are right? Isn't there a good cartoonist in Huaxia? No! Some! How can there be no good cartoonists in Huaxia? But why is it not as developed as Japan's manga industry? It's all forced by people, and people can't develop! Ouyang Jing poured out bitter water in his stomach.
Why didn't Shang Shaohua know? Those of them who do comics-related work, who doesn't know the truth here? The state thinks that your cartoon is good and educational, so it will give you a pass. The state thinks that your cartoon is not good and has no educational value, so it will ban you mercilessly. However, the state still looks at the issue of comics from the perspective of six- and seven-year-old children, and under the guidance of the state, parents also look at the issue of comics from the perspective of six- and seven-year-old children.
It can be said that the development of Chinese comics is because there are such a small number of old stubborn people who look at the emerging thing of comics with outdated concepts, and then the country also began to coax them, turning that part of the old stubborn concepts into official concepts, and then conveying them to more people, and over time, a small number of people have become the majority of people. I have to say that this kind of ideological brainwashing is really powerful, and once there is a conclusion about the right and wrong of this matter in people's consciousness, it will be extremely difficult to reverse it.
"Then editor-in-chief, what about this "Inuyasha", what are you going to say to Lin Tianyi?" Shang Shaohua asked a very crucial question.
Ouyang Jing is also worried about this.
The cessation of serialization of "Inuyasha" will undoubtedly make Lin Tianyi estranged from Crescent Magazine, and may even be estranged from the Chinese comic industry. In Ouyang Jing's view, Lin Tianyi is a very talented cartoonist, and he is likely to change the backwater scene of Huaxia Comics. However, the current situation is not optimistic.
"What else can I say? Hey, I'll go tell Tianyi in person. Ouyang Jing lost his mind and sighed.
He thinks that the work "Inuyasha" is very good, really good.
Lin Tianyi came home from school and was about to start his daily comic time. There was a knock on the door outside the house, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Ouyang Jing, so he welcomed Ouyang Jing in.
"Editor-in-Chief Ouyang, why are you? Hasn't the matter of picking up manuscripts always been edited by Shang? Lin Tianyi said as he was about to start writing.
Ouyang Jing sighed and said; "Xiao Tianyi, stop first, don't get excited, listen to me."
Lin Tianyi put down the pen and said that he was listening.
""Inuyasha" is going to stop serialization, and the General Administration of Optoelectronics has come to say that "Inuyasha" has violated the rules. We all know that your Inuyasha is a good work, but the reality is ...... Ay. Ouyang Jing couldn't finish his words, he felt that if he continued to say more, he would have to scold the group of people from the General Administration of Optoelectronics again.
Lin Tianyi behaved very calmly, he smiled indifferently and said; "Is that all?"
"Xiao Tianyi, aren't you angry?" Ouyang Jing felt very strange, logically speaking, the most angry person at this time should be Lin Tianyi, the author, why did Lin Tianyi have such an expected expression?
Is Lin Tianyi angry? No! He wasn't angry, but rather that it was something he expected. In China, there are still too many constraints, creation needs freedom, without free creation, there can be no good works, this sentence is the same in any era.
"System, you really got it." Lin Tianyi said to the system in his heart.
"That is, what kind of system is this system, this thing is still unclear, you should tell him about it." The system reminded.
"Editor-in-Chief Ouyang, I remember you said that one of your college classmates was an editor at Shueisha in Japan, right?" Lin Tianyi suddenly asked.
Ouyang Jing faintly sensed the meaning of Lin Tianyi's words and nodded; "yes, what's wrong?"
"I want to go to Japan, I wonder if Editor-in-Chief Ouyang can help me?" Lin Tianyi said.
"Japan?! Xiao Tianyi, are you going to give up the Chinese comic industry! Ouyang Jing was taken aback.
Lin Tianyi shook his head indifferently; "It's not that I gave it up, it's that it gave up on me. If even the comics like "Inuyasha" can't be tolerated, then my future comics will definitely not be able to tolerate, from the very beginning, the pattern has been determined that it is difficult for Chinese comics to change in a short period of time. ”
Ouyang Jing did not relent; "It's going to change, it's going to change one day, Xiaotianyi, don't give up, I believe in you very much!"
"Editor-in-chief Ouyang, you know the truth of breaking and then establishing, no matter how you change the old and outdated rules and regulations, they are still shabby and outdated, you can only break it first, and then establish a new system. And if you want to break, you have to influence. One day, I will take my weapon and break this rotten rule, so that the new sprouts of the future can grow freely! Lin Tianyi said in a firm tone.
Ouyang Jing was surprised, he didn't think that a child would have this kind of revenge.
Lin Tianyi was like the protagonist in the anime at the moment, with a strange brilliance, which made Ouyang Jing stay for a long time.
"Xiao Tianyi, do you really think so?"
"Hmm."
"Okay, I'll take care of the matter of going to Japan, you wait for my news."
After speaking, Ouyang Jing left Lin Tianyi's home, ready to start contacting his college classmates in Japan.
Lin Tianyi picked up the pen and continued to draw "Inuyasha".
Can't be serialized domestically? So what? In a different place, it's still a popular manga with big deals!
