Chapter 5: Transformers
It's not easy for newcomers, ask for collection recommendations!
"Delicious, lazy to do, teasing the weak! I don't know if this is due to human instinct, or if there is a master's guidance, a six-and-a-half-year-old child has keenly captured the most neglected root of human beings, and skillfully transplanted it to a cat that can walk upright.
Or, if you look closely at cats, especially domestic cats, you will see that they are like a mirror of human inferiority.
Six-and-a-half-year-old Caesar Lee magnifies the most emblematic part of a cat's behavior, allowing us to watch Garfield unscrupulously do things we might otherwise only dare to think about, and let us watch a fat cat's indulgence in order to achieve spiritual self-desecration.
O my God! I never dreamed of what would happen if I were like Garfield and eat back pot meat, lasagna, kung pao chicken, minced pizza and meat-filled dumplings at every meal!
I would be a big fat man over 300 pounds, suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes until I died......
These things that I especially wanted to do but didn't dare to do, I could only do it by watching Garfield, a fat cat who would not get sick no matter how fat he ate, and would not affect his flexibility.
Having said all that, what I want to say in the end is------
Well done little guy! You are already on the road to success, although your age as Garfield's father makes me envious and jealous in all senses, but don't ruin yourself, I look forward to your growth!
Your presence makes me feel that the United States is always full of hope. ”
David Ziegfeld, deputy editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times, ------.
In three months, Garfield took North America by storm in the form of a four-panel comic and spread to Europe at a plague-like rate.
During this period, Caesar also took a few days to create a picture book of Garfield's long-form color comic stories at the newspaper office, and not to mention the coloring himself, every line of dialogue was carefully crafted.
If you make an animation according to a picture book, it is completely a detailed script.
The creation was witnessed by many reporters from the Associated Press and many third-party media and publishers, and all skeptical voices were shattered in one fell swoop.
The Associated Press's newspapers that serialized "Garfield" have all seen their sales increase in varying degrees, with the total sales of the 63 newspapers adding up to nearly 40 percent, and the Associated Press' top brass was shaken.
You know, in addition to the breaking news, these newspapers under the Associated Press are some city newspapers, except for newspapers like the Los Angeles Times, which radiate from the greater Los Angeles area to the whole United States, the sales scope is fixed in small city circles.
A fixed sales range means a relatively fixed number of sales.
Now this kind of Garfield-driven sales shows that many people who don't buy newspapers have joined the local newspaper consumer group just to read "Garfield".
And after interviews and analysis, many of these new consumers are in order to cut out the four-panel comic of "Garfield" and paste it in the book for collection.
This discovery, coupled with the popularity of picture books, has led to the attention of some people in the publishing world. The ability to absorb gold is highly anticipated!
Countless newspapers that had been indifferent began to publish news about Garfield and Caesar.
As for how many people really think "Garfield" is good, think Caesar has a bright future, and how many people are waiting to relive the joke about the disillusionment of the prodigy, it is unknown.
The collapse of the original wave of prodigies really ruined a large group of so-called prodigies, and at the same time ruined many media people.
To this day, there are still a large number of newspaper directors who are indifferent to Caesar's birth, including many Associated Press-owned newspapers that are serializing "Garfield", many of which are only serializing "Garfield", and Caesar's news is basically not published.
Even though more than 100 newspapers under the Associated Press have now begun to serialize "Garfield", there are still many newspapers that shirk and do not want to publish Caesar's personal news.
This is the excessive damage caused by the prodigy fever to media people back then, and it has not been able to slow down for decades.
Fortunately, after the picture book was a big hit, Caesar's name was unmatched in the public reputation outside the media for a while, the crash of the U.S. military, the end of the Vietnam War These things seem to be forgotten by people, and only the prodigy Caesar is the name that is most mentioned when people chat.
Because the scars of the Vietnam War are still painful, far from the late 70s and 80s, when writers and directors desperately reflected and made money by revealing the scars.
"First Blood", "The Deer Hunter", "Field Platoon", "Apocalypse Now", "Born on the Fourth of July" and so on.
Now is the time when the American people are distressed and trembling, and an unexplained withdrawal is a defeat, and those sad people whose families have relatives who died in Vietnam do not dare to cry......
For details, see the first part of "First Blood" to see what Vietnam veterans get when they return home in a country like the United States, which has a strong army.
In this atmosphere, Caesar refused all requests for interviews, because he didn't know how he was going to behave in front of the camera or the microphone, and he knew that he couldn't grasp this kind of proportion, and that being too adult-like or too naïve would be questioned.
In his previous life, he had seen too many celebrities who had been ruined by the media, so Caesar understood that the more he said, the more wrong he was.
He understands that he is still too "young" to be a grandmaster who ignores the media and sprays at will.
For such a long time, he has worked hard to show the image of Xiàn to the outside world as a little kid with a little talent for painting and can come up with some crooked ideas.
As for opening a company, recruiting subordinates, soaking adult girls or something, Caesar blushes just thinking about it.
Passing through rebirth does not mean that you can treat others as stupid waves, and it is a real choice to make a fortune and gain prestige.
Taking advantage of the people's anti-war feelings, with the end of the Vietnam War, it has reached a critical point, and it is better to poke some dry goods out yourself.
Holding a pencil and a small notebook, Caesar muttered about the future, and his mother, who had been paying attention to him, was confused.
Elizabeth didn't know why, every time she saw her son, she always flashed in her mind the image of countless Jewish businessmen who had been vilified by the West.
Although she has always thought that her son is super cute, and now it is called "cute and cute", but that illusion just lingers.
I don't know if I'm being watched closely by my mother or called attention, and the series that Caesar is brewing is like thunder.
"Transformers" or the "Transformers" series.
This is a one-stop industrial chain of ACG and movie toys with smart machines as the protagonists, which was world-renowned before Caesar's crossing, and the movie was even more earth-shattering.
"Transformers" was originally supposed to be a toy series launched in North America in 1984 by Hasbro and a Japanese company, and in order to promote the toys, it eventually joined forces with Marvel to produce animation and comics.
To put it bluntly, the original intention of the "Transformers" anime series was to advertise toys. It's just a tool used to sell toys, a by-product, and you can even say that the original Transformers anime was a toy merchandise.
The ancestor of "Transformers" is "Microman", a series born in Japan in 1974.
For specific details, please ask Du Niang yourself, and I don't make up the number of words here, but I can only say it roughly.
"MSI Superman" provides the alien Hundred Years War between the two factions of "Transformers", and the story background of the destruction of the planet where the director is located and the escape to Earth to continue pinching each other, except for the fact that there is no resemblance to Transformers.
Therefore, it is the best time for Caesar to come up with this series now, and Hasbro will have to make a move a year or two later.
