Chapter 55: The Blue and White Rice Bowl Incident

According to media reports, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" exceeded 100 million on the first day, which is not only the best result of Hong Kong films released in the mainland, but also refreshes the box office record of Chinese films.

In the first week of its release, the box office easily exceeded 400 million, just like in the original time and space, "Infernal Affairs" also created a phenomenon here, and this box office is almost the sum of the movies released in the same period.

With the popularity of the movie, "Forgotten Time" has also spread all over the streets, and Zheng Xiaoyi's name has become more popular, although the theme song of the same name of "Infernal Affairs" is just as popular, but it is much weaker in comparison.

At the same time, this also promoted Zheng Xiaoyi's album sales, which rebounded strongly in the third week of listing, exceeding the 700,000 mark in one fell swoop, and the total sales in three weeks have reached more than 1.5 million, not only trampling Yuyao under his feet, but also breaking through 2 million is already a simple thing.

At this time, Zhang Yao had already written the song and was ready to record "Song of Pi", the melody of this piece was almost the same from beginning to end, but because the π was an infinite non-circular decimal, there would be no boring repetition of the lyrics.

Zheng Xiaoyi is still participating in activities everywhere and has not come back, and there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains in the studio, and Zhang Yao and Ai Xiaoqi can do whatever they want.

The short version also has to sing to a thousand decimal places, which is also a challenge for Ai Xiaoqi, and it is also wrong to print it on paper and sing it while watching, but fortunately, it is all the same key, starting from where it is wrong, and then connecting it with software.

While recording the song, I went to an animation company again to make a MV, and when all this was done, it was already the end of March, and the sample issue of "The King of Words" had been sent to Zhang Yao before the release of the new issue, of course, it was inevitably occupied by Ai Xiaoqi again.

In April's serial, Zhang Yao has drawn "The Light Girl" to the eighth episode, and the four heroines have made their debut on stage very successfully, ending with the blue-and-white rice bowl incident that is well-known throughout the comic industry.

Well, the comic doesn't use a rice bowl to imply, it should be called the blue and white stripe incident. Originally, Zhang Yao thought that this kind of plot script would be sent back, but this situation did not occur, and the time and space scale is larger.

The content of the latter episode is that several protagonists gather at Yui Hirasawa's house for Christmas, but almost no one in China celebrates this holiday in this time and space, and the plot has to continue to be revised, Zhang Yao was struggling to catch up with the draft, and his mobile phone suddenly rang.

When he grabbed it, he looked at the caller ID, it was Ai Xiaoqi calling, Zhang Yao picked it up and said directly: "Don't tell you that you are bored and want to have fun, I am busy drawing comics." ”

"Look at the Qingjiao Channel, it's talking about your comics, but you'd better be mentally prepared."

Ai Xiaoqi's words made Zhang Yao very surprised, the Youth Education Channel is one of the CCTV channels, the main content is the column of youth education, of course, there are also some TV series and animations suitable for teenagers.

If there are such strange things as "Fire Boy King" and "Armored Warrior" in this time and space, this channel is definitely the first choice, but after all, it is CCTV, and its influence is not small no matter what.

Mentally prepared? It can't be the blue and white stripes incident, right? Zhang Yao guessed that he woke up the sleeping computer and went directly to CCTV's online platform to watch.

Soon entered the live video, in addition to the station logo in the upper left corner, the name of the column was also written in the lower left corner, the program being broadcast was called "Growth", and the female host in the studio sat opposite each other with a thin male guest who was about sixty years old.

At this time, the hostess just said: "Just now we learned through a short film about the general manga that has been widely circulated among teenagers recently and caused a sensation, and today we are going to talk about this comic." ”

"This comic called the light girl has been serialized for eight months, and the author is called Dyed Dust, which is from the hands of domestic cartoonists. The appearance of this comic is not only liked by many boys, but also won the hearts of many girls, which directly contributed to the sales of the picture book King magazine increased by three percent, Mr. Yuan, what do you think about this? ”

There was a name tag on the table, and the name of this teacher Yuan was Yuan Lide, and after pushing his glasses, he said: "This comic is indeed very popular now, so I also paid special attention to it, and I am also deeply puzzled that it can be so popular, and it should not be the case in all aspects." ”

"Teacher Yuan, what do you say?"

The host seemed to feel a little surprised, and Yuan Lide continued: "This story tells the story of four high school girls who set up a music club, but how can there be such an interest club in our national high school." ”

Zhang Yao was completely speechless when he heard this, based on his previous experience, he expected that a comic should be criticized if it was followed by such a bullish TV channel, but he didn't expect it to start from such an angle.

"Not only clubs, but also school uniforms, even if the story of the comic is fictional, I think it should be in line with reality, this kind of content can be said to be nonsense."

In the show, Yuan Lide was still boasting, Zhang Yao wanted to complain only to find that he couldn't find the vocabulary at all, Zuihou just said to himself: "This old guy still knows the inflated story." ”

After Yuan Lide finished chattering, the host Cai continued: "The story of the light girl is indeed different from the situation in my country in many ways, and the whole comic is also a strong Japanese comic style, but there is a phenomenon that is worth paying attention to." ”

"In addition to boosting the sales of the picture book king, the popularity of this comic in reader surveys has also surpassed many Japanese comics, and this situation has not happened since Shangmei Film fell silent."

"Many people think that the light girl makes domestic comics proud, and has been criticized a lot because the style is too daily, according to some industry insiders, the Golden Brush Award, which has not appeared for many years, should be awarded to the author. Mr. Yuan, what do you think about this? ”

Yuan Lide still had a serious face, put on a very objective expression and said: "I don't think this is the progress of domestic comics, in addition to the above reasons, this comic is also immature in terms of technique." The reason why this comic is so popular is mainly related to the impracticality of many young people nowadays. ”

"Nine out of ten schoolchildren today want to be stars, and this story fits that perfectly, and if the story wasn't about music, the comic wouldn't have been a success at all."

Zhang Yao raised his eyebrows, if your sister doesn't play music, what kind of light girl is she called, the one who plays baseball is called "Baseball Heroes", the one who plays football is called "Football Player", and the one who plays basketball is called "Slam Dunk".

Besides, "Light Girl" has nothing to do with stars, several protagonists just like music, and the school also advertises that it wants students to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and laboriously in an all-round way, and it's not such a big sin to engage in some hobbies, right?

"And this comic is also full of vulgar images, such as the latest serial, a character who fell on stage and showed his underwear, which is completely grandstanding, and the author also painted the underwear in blue and white in order to attract attention."

Mr. Yuan, we are all very implicitly referring to this as a blue and white striped incident, and you can't be elegant with a bite of underwear on TV shows, right? If Zhang Yao was at the scene, he would definitely say this, but unfortunately he is just an audience sitting in front of the computer now, and he can only sulk by himself.

In the show, Yuan Lide's criticism continued, pushing his glasses and saying: "This kind of content is extremely detrimental to the growth of teenagers, and the character has gained fans because he fell and exposed his underwear, which is completely misleading the values of teenagers......"

Originally, this was supposed to be an exchange-style program, but it turned out to be Yuan Lide alone in the gushing criticism, and when he finished chattering, the show was almost over, and the host said: "It is undeniable that there is still a lot of gap between domestic comics and Japanese comics, and our domestic cartoonists need to grow in learning." ”

"It's also a good idea to learn from it, but we should also close the screens when we open the windows, and at the same time we should avoid flies and mosquitoes flying in while receiving fresh air, and we shouldn't completely copy the indecent elements of the Japanese comics."

What the host said was quite tactful.,But you can hear it.,The so-called indecent elements refer to plots like selling meat.,It's not at all trivial to show a panty in Japanese comics.,But the eleventh district has a strict grading system.,And the Celestial Empire doesn't have it.。

The host's tone made Zhang Yao breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that CCTV has no intention of looking for trouble, otherwise it is estimated that it will be a tragedy, judging from her interaction with Yuan Lide, the criticism is more or less Yuan Lide's wishful thinking.

If a storyline like "The Light Girl" has to be criticized, then there is really no story that can be drawn in domestic comics, so how can it be developed.

Closing the webpage, Zhang Yao thought about it and made a call to the editor, and he still felt a little nervous if he didn't communicate, but the editor said directly: "I watched the show, that Yuan Lide was originally famous for picking bones in eggs, because it was a CCTV program, which was already more tactful." ”

Zhang Yao was speechless when he heard this, and the editor continued: "The broadcast of this show may give birth to some things, but don't worry about it, you can create it with peace of mind, and our editorial department can handle the rest." Remember, not being envied is mediocrity, and there is no need to take anything others say to heart. ”

"Oh, I see, trouble you."

Zhang Yao hung up the phone after answering, and he knew very well the meaning of the editor's words, there will definitely not be only one person like Yuan Lide, someone will provoke the head, and there will definitely be no fewer people who jump out to criticize.

There is a saying that there are many people who are popular, no matter what they do, Zhang Yao has already realized that this kind of thing will naturally not be taken to heart, if you can't bear it, how can you mix in the entertainment industry.
