"Top Gun" is a global hit, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, West Germany, Norway, Finland, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan/Bay, in short, all countries in the Western camp, comics are selling quite hot.

It's not for nothing that comics can sell so hot, the senior reporter of "Hollywood Times", Malfoy Jason gave a professional evaluation, he wrote in the article: Mr. Jester Ling recently made a big move, making the world crazy, yes, this big move is the global hit "Top Gun" This comic, how crazy is such a comic, look at the global data of his sales per issue, one issue per month, the global sales of 10 million copies per issue, From this data, we can know how popular this manga is.

Why is this comic so popular?,My analysis is:First of all,The style of this comic is different from the previous comics.,His style of painting is more inclined to Japanese comics.,When you pick up the comics,You will first think that this is a Japanese comic instead of a comic.,The picture is very beautiful, beautiful and delicate.,There is no kind of thick line style of the American comic.,It's really a painting style in addition.,So the style is very popular with children.。

I also really want this style of art, when I read the comics, it is like admiring the beautiful art postcards, and the style of the comics is very pleasing to the eye.

The second is the storyline, which is obviously written by a professional Hollywood screenwriter and does not make the story jerky and difficult to understand like Japanese art manga.

Third, the setting of the characters is also different from before, obviously this is a team comic, no one is the absolute protagonist, the previous comic protagonists are all one person and all superheroes, and this comic is different, there are no superheroes in it, everyone is an ordinary person, they all have their own different personalities, have their own advantages and disadvantages, it seems very real, and it is easy for readers to bring it in.

Fourth, all kinds of flying knowledge mentioned in the comics are very professional and interesting, which is also a major selling point of the comics, and the biggest selling point is those advanced fighters, everyone has the dream of flying, fantasizing that they are wearing handsome flight suits, piloting advanced and stylish fighters, thinking about it will make people's blood boil, who doesn't want to be such a pilot, there is that pilot who doesn't want to fly the most advanced fighters......

In addition to Malfoy Jason's analysis of the reasons for the popularity of "Top Gun", all Hollywood comic companies are holding a magnifying glass to "Top Gun" and look at it, analyze and analyze, it is bound to find out the reasons for the success of the comics, hoping to replicate the success.

In Ling Shizhe's opinion, the various analysis articles on the success of Top Gun in major American newspapers are not in place, in addition to the style of painting, novel team combinations, and professional and interesting knowledge of flight and aviation, the historical background is also a key factor that cannot be ignored.

Like the "007" movie, "Top Gun" is also a product of the Cold War, and the background of the comic is close to the core of the Cold War, which can make people, whether adults or children, be quickly brought into it when they read this comic.

Since the United States entered the Vietnam War, the Cold War has reached a historical peak, and after the United States retreated from the Vietnam battlefield in an awkward manner, the Western free world led by the United States has shifted from strategic strength in the Cold War to strategic weakness, and the Soviet Union has begun to enter a state of strategic strength.

The Vietnam War was the biggest mistake of the United States in the Cold War, the defeat of the United States and the strength of the Soviet Union made the people of the Western free world everyone endanger themselves, and people questioned whether the United States, the world boss, could keep the achievements of the free world, and people were pessimistic that the third world war would break out at any time, and the victorious side would be the Soviet Union instead of the United States, and then all the people in the world would lose their freedom.

In this background and historical background, the birth of "Top Gun" has undoubtedly given the Western world a shot in the arm, the advanced third-generation fighter of the United States and the Soviet Union in the comics is actually not the protagonist, the real protagonist is the powerful naval and air forces of the United States, showing the powerful global strike force of the United States through comics, and giving confidence to people in the West is the real key factor in the success of comics, and Hollywood has not found the reason.

While Hollywood has not found the key to the success of comics, a small number of people with a keen sense of international politics have found it, and the Pentagon is one of them.

Knowing that Ling Shizhe was in Los Angeles in the United States, US Secretary of Defense Rams quickly flew over to meet Ling Shizhe.

This meeting was completely expected by Ling Shizhe, when Ling Shizhe reached a licensing agreement with McDonnell Douglas and Grumman, these two American companies proposed to the Pentagon to support the cartoon "Top Gun", but the Pentagon rejected it after reading Ling Shizhe's cartoon plan, they thought that Ling Shizhe's plan was too weird, completely subverting the previous military cartoon style, plus Ling Shizhe is an authentic Chinese, although the United States is an ally with the Kuomintang / the People's / Party, But they do not think that a Chinese will do a good job of American military cartoons.

But reality gave the Pentagon a big slap in the face, Ling Shizhe not only did a good job of American comics but also became popular all over the world, if the Pentagon did not react, then the US military would lose face, so Rams rushed to come.

After the two sides met, Rams did not have any nonsense and directly explained his intentions: the military fully supports the comic "Top Gun", and will give the green light to this comic in the world, and all the joints of the United States will be dealt with, Ling Shizhe does not have to worry about being troubled by all parties after the comic is popular, he only needs Ling Shizhe to promote the United States in the comics, not only military, but also economic and political propaganda. As long as you Ling Shizhe needs, all weapons and equipment in the United States can appear in comics except for those that need to be kept secret, and they do not need to be authorized separately, including peripheral products such as toy models, even if it is to make movies and TV series, the military will give the green light to full support, and the profits generated by this will belong to Ling Shizhe, if Ling Shizhe agrees, the United States will spend 10 million US dollars every year to buy "Top Gun" cartoons as an amateur pastime for soldiers.

This is something that is beneficial to both parties, Ling Shizhe has no reason not to agree, and besides, he can't get along with money, right? The two sides shook hands, the agreement was passed, and less than five minutes before and after the two sides met, Rams left.

After Rams left, Ling Shizhe called Garcia and Oshima Kurang over, told the two about the agreement with US Secretary of Defense Rams, and said clearly: "That's the agreement we reached with the military, they want us to promote the United States more, Garcia, do you know what to do?" ”

Garcia understands what it means to promote the United States, to put it bluntly, it is to promote American values, and there is an unwritten rule that you need to abide by when engaging in media and movies in the United States, that is, political correctness, only political correctness can you survive in the United States, otherwise you will face the danger of being expelled and banned, Garcia nodded and said: "Don't worry, boss, I know what to do, I am familiar with doing this, I only need to revise it slightly in the script." ”

"It allows for a more interesting storyline." Oshima Kurang echoed on the side.

"It's good to understand." Then Ling Shizhe told them some precautions: "It doesn't matter if you black Su/Lian, I don't care how black you are, but there is one thing you have to pay attention to, that is, China!" Now that the United States is about to establish diplomatic relations with China, Chinese mainland will be an ally of the United States in the future, so nothing related to China can appear in the comics, understand? ”

Seeing the two nodding, Ling Shizhe reminded again: "You have to remember it for me." ”

"Don't worry, boss, I know you have feelings for your country, and I know what to do."

Damn, what does it mean to have feelings, give me a set, right? Chinese mainland is ruled by the Communist Party, and if I admit that I have feelings for China, is it not an admission that I support the mainland? I didn't expect this Garcia to be so insidious, it seems that I will have to find an excuse to tell him to get out of here in the future, this kind of person is too dangerous to stay around, and I don't know when I will lose my life.

Ling Shizhe looked at Garcia with a smile and said: "My Kuomintang/Kuomintang/Party general, our Party-State and the Communist Party/Party are incompatible, I have feelings for my motherland, but for them...... We are mortal enemies, otherwise the Supreme Commander would not have been thinking about counterattacking the mainland. ”

Seeing Ling Shizhe looking at him extremely sternly, Garcia knew that he had committed Ling Shizhe's taboo, but he didn't plan to explain, because since the success of "Top Gun", Garcia has also become famous in Hollywood, and many comic companies have paid a lot of money to poach him, which is much higher than the treatment given to him by Ling Shizhe, and he is not worried about having nowhere to go, so he nodded and left.

Garcia left, Ling Shizhe knew that he would never come back, turned his head to look at Oshima Jiurang, and said, "Are you going to leave too?" ”

"No, boss, I'm not leaving, I'm loyal to Ambrera." Oshima Kurang hurriedly said loyally: "Actually, boss, since the success of the comic "Top Gun", many Hollywood companies have paid a lot of money to poach me and the members of the screenwriting department, but I have never agreed, I decided to stay in Ambrera, stay in China Aircraft Industry Company, I believe that the future of this company will have unlimited potential." ”

I didn't expect Hollywood to act fast enough, if it is an ordinary small company, if a comic book has achieved unprecedented success, several giants of Hollywood will come to the door to ask for acquisition, if you don't agree, you will face their full ban, and even smear you in newspapers and TV, making you a street rat Everyone shouts and beats, because they have the right to speak, and they can carry out verbal violence against the weak at will, which is called discourse hegemony.

It's a pity that Ling Shizhe is the boss of Ambrera's company, and the ownership of the comics is owned by China Aircraft Company, and the background strength Ling Shizhe is very strong and will not fool them, so he will come up with a way to dig up the wall, hoping that before Ling Shizhe has a firm foothold in Hollywood, all his comic creation team will be poached, so that the follow-up quality of the comics cannot be guaranteed, Ling Shizhe can only obediently sell the copyright of the comics in the end, and Hollywood can take the opportunity to lower the price, which is the only way for them to deal with the intruder.

"How many are gone?"

"Thirty-six screenwriters, twelve in the corridor."

"It's amazing, they poached a third of my people at once, and the rest of them won't leave?"

Oshima Kurang said respectfully: "Boss, except for the 5 people who are white, the rest of the screenwriters are Chinese, Japanese and Korean, and they will not leave." ”

"Why don't you go, you must know that the conditions for them are very high!"

Oshima Jiurang smiled bitterly: "Boss, they know very well which companies offer such good conditions for what, so they won't treat us yellow people, as long as they bring down "Top Gun", we will be useless, they will kick us yellow people mercilessly, and then we will be unemployed again, rather than this, it is better to stay in the company all the time, besides, boss, you are also ......"

Ling Shizhe interrupted: "I'm also a yellow race, so I won't make a glass ceiling for you like those white people, right?" ”

Oshima Kurang nodded and said, "Yes, boss." ”

Ling Shizhe sighed, it seems that racial discrimination in the United States is not only against blacks and Chinese, but also against people of color, and although Japan and South Korea are lackeys of the United States, it does not prevent whites in the United States from discriminating against them.

"After Garcia is gone, is there a replacement?"

"There are two, one is a girl named Huang An'an from Chinese mainland, and the other is a Korean-American named An Yunzhe, and these two can take Garcia's class."

Ling Shizhe thought for a while and said, "Then these two people." Also, do you know that you want to fill the vacancy as soon as possible? ”

"Understand the boss."

"Okay, from now on, you will be the head of the comics department of the Chinese aircraft company and the American DreamWorks company."
