"こ、これは......『shipこれ』ですか? (Is this a ship collection?) ）

“えっ？ あ、はい！ そうです。 あの、すみません。 あなたは日本人... ですか？ (Huh?) Yes, yes, that, are you Japanese? ”

「ええ、そうですけれど…。 これは自分で描いたものですか?」 (Uh, yes, did you draw these books yourself?) ）

“はい。 自分で描きました。 Thanksgiving... Japanese.... shameずかしいですが、よかったらこれ(イラスト集とクリアファイルを差し出して)、念に持って帰ってください! (Yes, I painted it myself, thanks······ The Japanese... I'm sorry, but if you can, please take this (hand out the illustrations and text clips) as a souvenir."

This is a brief conversation I had with a stall owner at a fandom exhibition in Nanjing, and I came to visit it when I heard that there was an animated game fandom in Nanjing.

As soon as I stepped into the venue, I could see more than 100 stalls where young people in their 15s and 20s made their own illustrations, paper folders, badges, notebooks, key rings, paper bags, and other items were sold at the booths, and the stall owner (a 21-year-old male college student) mentioned in the Japanese dialogue above gave me goods worth about 60 RMB as gifts.

There are a lot of young people who like Japanese animation in China, but I was really surprised to see how popular Ship これ was at the doujin exhibition in China.

Ship これ is a browser game that sprouts the ships of the old Japanese Imperial Navy.,The ship after the sprout is called the ship Niang.,In the game, the player mixes different ships to form a fleet after passing guò.,Constantly carry out naval battles to upgrade the ship Niang.,The enemy in the game is not the United Nations.,It's a deep-sea habitat ship set in the air.。

I had little knowledge of anime and manga.,Before I came to China for an interview, I said to Mr. Y "I want to go to the interview exhibition",And Mr. Y didn't think about it and told me about the ship.,It seems that this game should be Mr. Y's favorite genre (Editor's Y:It's a misunderstanding!) )

Mr. Y said to me: "Now the most popular moe characters in Japan are IJN, oh is the meaning of ImperialJapanese Navy (the old Imperial Japanese Navy), with the specifications of the old Japanese Navy and historical events as the source of the image of the moe characters, will the Chinese accept this moe character?" I didn't take this to heart at the time, and just replied vaguely, "Well, what's going on?" And that ended the conversation.

That's why I came all the way from Japan and was so surprised when I saw that the theme products of the ship girl in the same exhibition in Nanjing were sold in large quantities. At the same time, I was also noticed by the audience because I was Japanese.

"Japanese" and "Japanese" came from the warm eyes of the venue

This interview is the first time in my life that I have come to the fanfair, why did I want to come to the fanfair in China? At a time when Japan-China relations are deteriorating, the only Chinese who can say "I like Japan" without any worries are Chinese young people who like Japanese anime, games and Japanese idols, and I want to know their thoughts, so I came to this fandom exhibition in Nanjing.

There were cosplayers everywhere in the venue, and amateur photographers were enthusiastically pressing the shutter. The juniors (Japanese) who came here with me talked to me in Japanese, and everyone in the venue looked at us warmly, and Japanese people were the objects of longing in this space.

Such a person is like the scene I wrote at the beginning of the article.,There's a twelve-point tolerance for the ship.,Not only that, but also a lot of illustrations and fandom.,There will also be fanatical statements between companions such as "Look at the lines here of this ship girl are cute".

After that, I met three young people who live in Shanghai who like Japanese animation games.,Tell them what I saw and heard at the Nanjing Doujin Exhibition.,They said very plainly": "I'm also doing the same people of the ship girl.,Friends who like the ship これ are also doing it."

"This, that, this is based on the warships of the old Japanese Navy, that ·············" (At this time, the Japanese reporter was a little embarrassed)

Faced with my stuttering, Mr. Zhu (pseudonym, 26 years old), a company employee, said to me simply

"History is history"

Then he added

"Of course, I also studied Chinese and Japanese history, but I grew up watching Japanese anime when I was young, and I always longed for Japanese people and Japanese life, so I didn't mind at all, and good things are really good."

Not only is it very longing for the animation and games that don't exist in China at all (that's what the Japanese reporter's original text says.,Don't spray me),Recently, in China's **, Japan's Rabbit Island as a keyword has also risen sharply.,Many people have said when they can go to Rabbit Island.,I just checked it on the Internet yesterday.

On **, I searched for "Rabbit Island", referring to Okuno Island in the Seto Inland Sea, Chinese netizens were very happy to see the picture, while looking at the picture, while communicating with other people (I think the Japanese reporter here wants to express the scene of **user forwarding version of the chat), their sources of information about Japan are basically all on the Internet, Japanese animation, Japanese AV actresses, and a qiē in Japan are all known through the guò network.

"I really want to see the cherry blossoms of Japan" & 版の权 question

Mr. Zhu said, "I have always wanted to see the beautiful cherry blossoms in full bloom, and I really want to go to the shrines in Japan", mentioning this topic his eyes lit up, and when he was in middle school, Mr. Zhu began to understand Japanese kendo "Seeing the posture of the Japanese who learn martial arts, I was deeply moved by its proper etiquette, which is impossible for Chinese to imitate", but for the dark history between China and Japan, he could not see it in any way (even Japanese reporters couldn't help but complain)

Mr. Zhu's girlfriend, Miss Zhang (19 years old), was a coser in junior high school, and participated in activities all over the world, going out for cosplay activities 2-3 times a month, with an average monthly cost of 1,500-2,000 yuan, her cosplay expenses were all raised by herself, and she used her friend's cosplay cosmetics at the cost of working for a friend, and also sold her own cosplay clothes (about 400 yuan a piece) made on Taobao.

Also present at the same time as Mr. Zhu was Mr. Yuan (21 years old), Mr. Zhu and Mr. Yuan are both social people (these three Chinese names together are Zhu Yuan Zhang··········· Financially abundant, they spend most of their time outside of work on the Internet, games, anime, and cospaly, and the three of them often exchange information through guò**.

As a Japanese, I am very happy to say that "the three of us prefer Japanese anime games to rice" (you can skip meals but you can't do without Japanese anime games), but I am still very concerned about illegal downloads and intellectual property rights on the Internet, which is also a major headache for the Japanese software industry.

There is currently no Japanese animation broadcast on Chinese television (this is a wonderful misconception, in fact, it is broadcast but not scheduled on primetime and free digital TV channels), but Japanese animation can be freely watched on the Internet, and the information obtained from them (Zhu Yuan and Zhang San) shows that some websites in China actually have the right to buy the copyright of Japanese animation, but at the same time, illegal download sites still exist.

Mr. Zhu said that in the pirated version of the animation,There will be strange signs on the screen,So at a glance, you can immediately understand whether it is a pirated version (the Japanese reporter may want to say the logo of the animation subtitle group),Although so, it does not affect the audience's viewing experience,Ordinary viewers do not have the consciousness of the positive version or the pirated version,"Under the same picture quality,It doesn't matter which one is the pirated version or the positive version"Mr. Zhu said the truth。

In terms of games, there are still large illegal download sites, and Miss Wang (pseudonym, 23), a Chinese female college student who lives in Tokyo and is keen on girls' games, "There are people who have bought the main version of the game and uploaded the game to the Internet illegally, and they are not trying to make money from it, but only out of a kind of 'independent goodwill' to do it, and people do not have a sense of crime to download the pirated version of the game for free instead of buying the main version of the game, but think that this is a very normal and ordinary practice." ”

Most Japanese people who hear this will probably say, "Sure enough, this is Chinese··········· I felt very powerless, but the social environment in China and Japan is different, so I asked Ms. Wang the question that Mr. Y had given me in advance.

"If you have enough money, do you choose to download the pirated version for free, or spend money to buy the main version of the game?"

The Japanese version of the original product will be very satisfying as long as you look at the outer box!

The following is Ms. Wang's answer

"Everyone's idea is different.,As far as I'm concerned, I want to download the pirated version first.,If this game is really good and I want to collect it.,I'll buy the positive version again.。 The outer box of the positive version of the game is placed in the house and it feels very eye-catching when you see it.,Just looking at it is very enjoyable.,There are also cases where you come up and buy the positive version of the game.。

Anyway, the positive version of the game will have some bonuses.,Like illustrations or key rings.,Especially the formula setting data set is simply charming.,Of course, these bonuses are free to download the pirated version.,So if it's a work you like, it's a bonus that you must get (that is, you will definitely buy the positive version of your favorite work)"

"So if the Japanese manufacturer's pirated version of the goods and the Chinese manufacturer's goods are sold in China at the same price, will you buy the positive version?"

"Huh? Is this the case of 正の版 goods being made in China? In this case, it is not necessarily necessary to buy the positive version·········"

According to Ms. Wang, in the past, Taiwanese game manufacturers released games in Taiwan and mainland China at the same time, and the price was the same, but the quality was very different, and the mainland version was too disappointed after buying it, so Ms. Wang bought the Taiwan version again.

"If Japanese manufacturers produce locally on the mainland, the quality probably won't be able to surpass that of the Japanese version," she said, adding that Ms. Wang's main concern is that Chinese manufacturers cannot guarantee quality compared to Japan, which is very strict in terms of production and quality control.

Mr. Zhu said: "If it is something you like, no matter how much you spend, you have to buy it," on the other hand, he expressed concern, "After the sale of good quality goods in China, there will be knock-offs springing up, which will force genuine goods out of the market, and no matter how you crack down, new knock-offs will pop up immediately." ”

Miss Wang and Mr. Zhu actually want to buy the positive version in their hearts, and this mood of wanting to buy the positive version is still very strong, "The mood of respecting the work? Of course, I am also a housemaid, so I understand the matter of buying the main version of the goods very well, and I will have a sense of peace of mind when I buy the main version well, and I have made a little contribution to the Japanese manufacturer who made such a good game as a Chinese, which is a spiritual joy," Miss Wang and I said.

A society where fakes are rampant

The number of mature people who are in the mood of Miss Wang is gradually increasing, but on the other hand, Chinese society has become accustomed to counterfeits and fakes, and the social environment based on fakes has become a fait accompli.

"I feel guilty after buying pirated goods, but in China this is not ·········." (Miss Wang)

The problem of counterfeit goods is deep-rooted, and no one in society thinks about whether it is a matter of course to buy fake goods and counterfeit goods in China, and whether it is a matter of course for the storage of fake goods and counterfeit goods.

It's the same with this fanfair.,According to the organizers, this fan-jin exhibition ticket is 40 yuan.,35 yuan for the same day.,About 2000 people arrived.,53 of them are fake tickets.,There are scalpers buying fake tickets not far from the entrance of the fan-fair.,In a small-scale fan-fair,Fakes are also everywhere.。 On the other hand, there are many people who buy fake tickets from scalpers without any guilt.

The organizers didn't actually expect this to happen, and they didn't know where to start correcting the problem, and they really didn't have the power to correct it.

It's all for love, and it also depends on the public security

The operation of the doujin exhibition involves the participation of several like-minded people, the venue rental fee of the exhibition will affect the price of tickets, and in addition to the fact that the operator must provide many documents to the public security department, including proof of employment, the procedure is very complicated.

There is no big group, no big company organization, and no support.,The organizers of this Nanjing Doujin Exhibition are some young people in their 20s who work on weekdays.,It also successfully held this fan-fair.。

"I haven't seen a fandom show in Japan, and I guess there's not a dustbin at the fair, there's no rest area, and there's no event holding skills, so it's like assault engineering."

Mr. Y said to me enthusiastically, "I have met with the people who are preparing for the Comiket meeting, and I have obtained very valuable information, and the volunteers have a lot of experience and skills, so if you want to be specific, let me put together a list ············· first." (Since Mr. Y's words are too long, the following is omitted - this is written by the Japanese journalist himself)

"Everyone's busy, is this kind of event held every year?" One of the organizers immediately shouted in Japanese: "It's all about love!" "Still waving his hands.,In the past, the public security side complained about the doujin exhibition (in fact, there were many police officers in the venue that day),But now there are people who have a relationship with the public security in the exhibition operators.,So now the procedures for the doujin exhibition are much smoother.。

It may be difficult for Japanese people to understand, but the disadvantages of Chinese society have emerged, and in China, where although the social infrastructure is perfect, it is impossible for these young people to hold fan exhibitions on their own, no matter how small they are, without connections.

I don't think China is doing a good job of doing this, and it's very difficult to find solutions to these problems in China today.

Returning to the topic of doujin exhibition.,In the afternoon, the doujin exhibition began to hold singing and dancing performances.,The young people around me seemed to have prepared a special class tour for Japanese people who were twice their age.,I sat there and watched the song and dance.,The songs that were sung on the stage were AKB48 hits that even I knew.,And the songs that are popular with Japanese dramas?マル?マル?モリ?モリ! The singers even prepared kindergarten cos costumes, and more anime songs appeared one after another.

Almost all of the songs are in Japanese, and the audience is holding glow sticks prepared by the organizers and waving and dancing to the rhythm of the music on stage, but no matter how you look at it, it feels unnatural, as if a local countryman is coming to Tokyo for the first time at an idol concert (sic: 初めて Tokyo のアイドルのコンサートにやってきた地生のおのぼりさんのようだ). ）

Participants set up their costumes in front of people throughout the day, and got together many times on weeknights and weekends to practice singing and dancing, and the aforementioned Mr. Zhu also performed, and Mr. Zhu, who was tall and had cool brown hair, was as nervous as an unsophisticated high school student before he came out on the stage.

Finally, it was Mr. Zhu's turn to play, and seeing his vivid smile, sweat and hard performance on the field, I always felt that tears were about to flow out.

Everyone loved Japan so much, and sang Japanese songs so desperately, even though there were only two Japanese people present at this event, and I can only use the word "thank you" to describe the enthusiasm in my chest for such a wonderful performance, and then I realized that I was already wiping away tears.

This is something that can never be experienced in Chinese junior high schools and high schools, which only emphasize learning, and it is the first school festival for these young Chinese people since they were born. (Kamiguro)

Postscript:

Translated here, this Japanese reporter's Nanjing fanzhan report article is over, but as Chinese, we do have a lot of things worth thinking about slowly in this news written by the Japanese, such as the fanfair, such as the problem of piracy and piracy, such as being too keen on Japanese culture, a native Japanese naturally cannot give an answer or solution in line with China's national conditions, but we may be able to give that China's fandom and ACG culture are still in a stage of imitation, There is no substantive innovation.,Especially today, when the same exhibition is piled up.,Everyone is copying the shell of the Japanese Doujin Exhibition instead of the mechanism of the Japanese Doujin Exhibition.,Just like China's Westernization Movement more than a hundred years ago,Empty learning fur didn't make China really rich and strong in the end.。 The problem of being overly enthusiastic about Japanese culture is precisely the problem that the leadership is most worried about, and how to make China's local culture bigger and stronger and cultivate a good soil for local ACG works is the most important problem for China's ACG circle. Otherwise, no matter how big the Chinese Doujin Exhibition is, it will be a rootless duckweed, a soulless artifact, and it will be broken when touched.
