On June 15th, the "Top Gun" comic book was officially sold in North America, and although Ambrera and Grumman and McDonnell Douglas promoted the comic, there was no hot sales on the first day of official sales, and there was no cold scene. (.23w[x].

Some parents brought their children to the bookstore to see the huge promotional posters of the comics, and then came to the sales point of "Top Gun" and flipped through it at random.

In the first week, the entire North American comic only sold less than 30,000 copies, which was completely the effect of advertising, which was completely in Ling Shizhe's expectations, after all, it is not so easy for a new comic to be recognized by the market, and the sales of 30,000 copies are completely within the company's expectations, after all, parents buy a new comic for their children, first of all, to see whether your drawing is good, not the storyline, and secondly, parents consider whether there are bloody violence and erotic scenes in the comics, and if not, they will buy the next one for their children, As for whether parents and children will continue to buy in the future, it depends on the quality of the comic itself.

No comic will be popular from the beginning, comics are typical slow-burning goods, in addition to clever marketing methods, good word-of-mouth propaganda is the key to the long-term survival of comics.

This weekend, little Jack doesn't have to go to school, he follows his mother to the mall, and when he comes to the bookstore, Little Jack is attracted by the huge poster of "Top Gun" at the door, handsome pilot, advanced fighter plane, the line below, want to know how pilots are made? Looking at the poster, Little Jack was deeply fascinated.

Jack's mother saw that little Jack was attracted by the promotional poster, smiled slightly, and waved to the waiter on the side.

A young waitress came up and said, "Madame, is there anything I can do for you?" ”

Jack's mom pointed to the poster at the door and asked, "Is this a newly published comic?" ”

"Yes ma'am, this is the latest comic book to be published."

"Is that company publishing Disney?"

"It's not Mrs. Disney Publishing, it's published by China Aircraft Industry Corporation, a subsidiary of Ambrera, which aims to educate children about flying, hoping to cultivate children's interest in flying."

"Oh, to educate children about flying and to spread the knowledge about flying? Sounds pretty good, huh...... There won't be violence or erotic/erotic scenes, right? ”

The waitress shook her head and said, "Madam, don't worry, there are no erotic/erotic scenes in the comics, as for the violent scenes?" Don't know if a flight accident counts? Are aerial combat footage considered violence? ”

……

"Can you tell me more about this manga? He doesn't seem to be the same as the previous manga? ”

"Yes ma'am, please come over here." Jack's mother called Little Jack over, the three of them came to the sales area of the comics, the waitress picked up a comic and handed it to Little Jack's mother, Jack's mother flipped through the comics, and the first thing that caught her eyes was a few main character settings: Hugh Jackman, 45 years old, is an experienced carrier-based aircraft commander, with more than 20 years of rich experience in carrier-based aircraft piloting, and recently he received a task from his superiors to go to flight school to teach a group of newly enrolled rookie pilots, The superiors demanded that he must train these rookies to become qualified carrier-based aircraft commanders within three years.

Hugh Jackman didn't want this task very much, but the orders of his superiors had to be carried out, so Hugh reluctantly went to the flight academy to take up his post, he always thought that flying was not a simple thing, and in the face of these flying rookies who didn't know anything, Hugh planned to fix them first......

Just the previous character profile attracted Jack's mother, and the waitress saw that there was a play, and said to Jack's mother: "This cartoon aims to cultivate children's flight knowledge, but madam, you must know, airplanes are machines that can cause accidents, and the comics tell about various air crashes and the reasons for air crashes, in order to instill the necessity of flight safety in children, a few rookie pilots' carrier-based fighters, of course, there will be some air combat scenes, I don't know if this is considered a violent scene?" ”

Jack's mother simply turned a few more pages, put the cartoon back, and said: "It's not bad, a few flight tips are very interesting, and the characters in it are also very interesting, I feel like a good comic, as for the air combat and flight accident scenes inside, I don't think it's violent, flying is a more dangerous thing, to tell children about flight safety, I think it's very necessary, to give my children a set." ”

"I'm sorry madam, this "Top Gun" comic is currently only out of one volume, and the next volume will not come out until the fifteenth of next month."

"Okay, let's have a book." Jack came to the service desk with a comic book and his mother to check out, and found that there were many children around him who were holding the same comics as him, and some were holding a few toy boxes of comics, and little Jack was attracted by the "Phoenix Fighter" in the toy box, the child was about the same age as Jack, blonde hair and blue eyes, looking at Little Jack staring at the toy box in his hand, and said: "Hello, my name is Huck, what is your name?" ”

"Hi, hello, my name is Jack, are you holding a model airplane from the Top Gun comics?"

Huck said excitedly: "Yes, this is the car of the villain in "Top Gun", the Phoenix 999805 fighter, he is the 21st century fighter designed by the Soviet Sukhoi - the Phoenix Su-35 fighter. He has installed a new 360-degree omnidirectional vector thrust turbofan engine with a detection range of more than 400 kilometers, a four-degree fly-by-wire operating system, and a maximum thrust of 15 tons. ”

"Great, Kubi." Little Jack said enviously, and then he shook his mother's arm, and Jack's mother, who was waiting for the checkout, saw the airplane toy in Huck's hand in the direction of Little Jack's finger, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, if you like it, go ahead." ”

Little Jack handed over the slowness in his hand to his mother, and ran back to the comic sales area of "Top Gun", and simply looked for it and came to the toy war area, there are dolls of comic characters and model toys of several fighters, there are a new generation of carrier-based aircraft F-14 launched by Grumman, a Su-35 fighter called "Phoenix" designed by Ling Shizhe, and a single-engine light fighter called "Gripen".

The shape of these two types of fighters is the shape of the 21st century, and for the people of this era, Ling Shizhe's "design" of these two planes is very sci-fi, and it has great lethality to the people of this era.

Little Jack touched this and picked up this, not knowing which one to choose, so after thinking about it, he picked up both planes and walked to the settlement desk.

Jack's mother saw that little Jack had been gone for a long time, and as a result, she took back two airplane toys, just smiled lightly, and took the toys, and the mother and son went home after the checkout.

As soon as he got home, little Jack couldn't wait to go back to his room and read the comics, but he forgot the time when he saw it, knowing that his mother had come to take little Jack's comic book away.

Little Jack was watching with relish, and suddenly the comic book was taken away, and just when he was about to get angry, he saw that it was his mother who took off his comic book, and his anger instantly went down, and asked, "What's the matter with Mom?" ”

"Jack, it's time to eat, I'm watching after eating."

"Oh." Little Jack followed his mother downstairs and walked towards the dining room, and as he walked, Little Jack asked, "Mom, is Daddy coming home today?" ”

Jack's mother touched his head and said, "Daddy is coming, waiting for you in the dining room, remember not to talk back to Daddy today." ”

"Hmm...... Mom, I have something to ask. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Is Dad a pilot?"

Jack's mother rolled her eyes, covered her forehead with her hand and said, "God, you don't even know what your father does, it seems that you father and son should have a good communication, remember Jack, your father is a plane pilot." ”

Little Jack became excited and asked, "Is it a carrier-based aircraft pilot?" ”

"No, it's a civil aircraft pilot, flying a Boeing 747."

"Oh...... Why not fighter pilots? Little Jack was disappointed.

The mother smiled and said, "I'll let Dad tell you in person why he's not a fighter pilot." ”

When the family finished eating, little Jack followed his father into the study, and when his father turned around and closed the door, he saw him and asked strangely, "Jack, why did you come to my study?" ”

"Dad, why aren't you a fighter pilot?"

The father asked strangely, "Why are you asking about this, what's wrong with Jack?" ”

"Dad, today I went to the bookstore with my mother and bought a comic called "Top Gun", which is about carrier-based aircraft pilots, and the pilots in the comics are so cool, father, I want to be a pilot when I grow up, a carrier-based pilot, and fly the best fighters." After saying that, little Jack handed the comics to his father.

Although the comics are very thick, Jack's father quickly finished the ten lines at a glance, although he read it quickly, but he was also deeply attracted by the story in the comics, he remembered the scene when he was young and just entered the flight academy, and the scene of serving in the Navy and flying the F-4 fighter, and remembered his old superiors and old comrades......

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, I'm okay kid, I just remembered some things back then." The child's cry woke up the father who was reminiscing, looked at little Jack and said, "Child, just now...... Just now I really wanted to hear you say that you want to be a carrier-based aircraft pilot when you grow up, right? ”

"Yes, Dad."

"Uh...... Don't you hate being a pilot the most, saying I'm always not at home. ”

"Not now, now I want to be a pilot. Father, you haven't answered me yet, why are you a civil aircraft pilot, not a fighter pilot. ”

"Awesome Jack, this is my Sam Jack's son." Jack picked up little Jack and kissed him heavily on the head, Jack was so excited that tears flowed from his eyes.

Looking at the tears in his father's eyes, little Jack felt as if something touched his heart, looked at his father's angular face, and said, "Father, tell me your story." ”

"Come son, I'll tell you my story." Jack said excitedly: "Kid, as this cartoon says, I used to be a carrier-based aircraft pilot, and I served on the aircraft carrier USS Clervinsonhoe in the Pacific Fleet......"
