The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 295 0295, When the East is Dark, the West is Bright (2)

Yunfeng was stunned. What does “If the east is dark, the west will be bright” mean?
Zheng Rong sat down opposite him and said, "The sales of your Fullmetal Alchemist have declined in China, but in the island country, the sales have doubled every day. Yesterday alone, the sales online and offline exceeded three million."

Yunfeng was surprised and asked, "Is it selling so well?"

The island country on the blue planet has a large population of over 200 million.

It is also a major comic country, but xenophobia is quite serious. Even the comics produced by MD Company cannot compete with local comics.

This is really unexpected.

but……

It’s also very interesting because the manga “Fullmetal Alchemist”, although not set in an island country, itself comes from an island country on Earth.

Zheng Rong smiled and said, "I was shocked when I saw the sales data from the island country just now. Wow, it directly broke the daily sales record of non-island comics. You know, this record was set by MD's "Superhuman" comic five years ago and has never been broken."

In fact, the three comics "Feng Yun", "Slam Dunk" and "The Cooking Master Boy" are also sold online and offline in the island country, but the sales are just lukewarm. Unexpectedly, the hit comic "Fullmetal Alchemist" would be.

Isn’t this just the case of “when all is dark in the east, all is bright in the west”?

Zheng Rong then sighed and said, "The online electronic version has AI intelligent translation, but the offline picture book has no translation. And the offline picture book accounts for the majority of the sales of comics in the island country. I think if there is a Japanese version, the sales will be even better."

Although Chinese has become a universal language in the world and many countries have set up Chinese courses in their subjects, it is relatively difficult to learn and the pass rate is very low. In addition, AI intelligent translation is very advanced nowadays. When you need to use Chinese, you can just download an app on your mobile phone.

Yunfeng heard this and said with a smile: "Then why not just translate a Japanese version? It's not that troublesome."

In the previous life on Earth, weren’t all American and Japanese comics translated from American to Chinese or Japanese to Chinese like this?

Jung Rong slapped his forehead, shook his head and laughed, "Oh, I didn't realize it all of a sudden."

Then he stood up from his chair and said, "I'll have someone get it done now, and try to get the Japanese version available in the island country next week."

Yunfeng nodded slightly.

As a hands-off boss, he is only responsible for making suggestions but not for their implementation.

After Zheng Rong left, Yunfeng ate the takeaway, rested for a while, and opened Sakura Comics on his computer, which is the largest comics website in the island country.

Click to enter the sales ranking of the day.

……

"Fullmetal Alchemist" ranked eighth with 520541 purchase downloads.

The result is indeed good. Among the top 20, this is the only comic that is not from the island country.

Yunfeng curiously went to take a look at the comment section.

【しょうー】：It’s a breath of fresh air among the comics I’ve read. The painting style is very powerful, and the face is square, haha!

[マリンリン]: Although I think it's a bit far-fetched, it's better than many of our own comics in terms of creativity.

[ちゃんゆい]: Si Kuniichi, the story becomes more and more profound as the novel goes on, and the plot becomes more and more exciting. The author is amazing!

【ちびはる】: It’s really sad when it’s cruel, and it’s really beautiful when it’s beautiful.

【Yama·hi】：If you want to get something, you have to pay a price. There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world, and there is no such thing as getting it once and for all. This is an iron rule.

……

Nearly 90% of the comments were in Japanese.

but.

For Yunfeng who used [Skill Language: Stand Out from the Crowd·Professional Level], there was no problem.

After browsing the comment section, Yunfeng came up with an idea.

Since the comic "Fullmetal Alchemist" has successfully made a splash in the island country's comic market, why not keep up the good work and release a comic with the island country as the background, and use this opportunity to completely open up the island country's comic market.

"Hmm..." This is possible.

The comics market in the island country has great potential. There are many otakus who like to read comics and play games.

Yunfeng felt that this money must be earned.

So, I opened the system and wanted to see how many achievements I had made in the cross-border career [Cartoonist].

【Cross-border system】

[Host: Yunfeng]

[Cross-border evaluation: Experienced, at ease]

【Main occupation, writer: 111065】

【Crossover, singer: 40103】

【Cross-border, cartoonist: 29901】

[Cross-border careers to be activated...]

[Tip: When the writer's achievement reaches 100000, the singer's achievement reaches 50000, and the cartoonist's achievement reaches 10000, the next cross-border career will be activated. ]

Although the manga "Fullmetal Alchemist" has not yet earned back the 10,000 achievements it consumed, the remaining achievements are enough for customization.

Once Yunfeng makes up his mind, he won't hesitate.

I began to search my memory to find out which comics on Earth in my previous life were set in island countries and which were relatively famous.

The Wandering Swordsman?

Warring States BASARA?

Soul of Chess?

……

"Hey, there is!"

Yunfeng thought of a very suitable comic.

The important thing is that keywords are very easy to find.

Without further ado, after a series of operations, a reminder sounded in his mind: "Ding Dong, the host consumed 10000 achievements of the cross-border career [Cartoonist], used [Special Identity·Exclusive Customizer] to customize successfully, and obtained a customization resource."

"call……"

Take a deep breath.

Yunfeng switched to the system warehouse, reached out and gently tapped the purple icon inside.

The resource information displayed is: [Customized comics: "Initial D"].

"Perfect!"

Yunfeng almost laughed out loud.

This was a very classic comic on Earth in the previous life. It was also adapted into an animation and a movie of the same name. As soon as it was published, it became the sales champion of local comics in China, Hong Kong and the island country with a sales volume of more than 20,000 copies.

The author adopts the traditional realistic style, and has attracted many car fans with its innovative racing themes, ups and downs of the plot, and detailed and professional explanation of racing. Even readers who don't know much about cars will become interested in it. Even the producers of the famous PS-GAME racing game series GT read the comic "Initial D" as a textbook.

There are no borderline cases or must-kill situations, nor are there any mysterious settings. Although the style of painting is extremely ordinary, it is still popular in Asia for its gripping plot, fierce confrontation and realistic scenery.

"Let 'Akina Mountain Car God' shock the Japanese comic fans!"

Unconsciously, a faint smile appeared on Yunfeng's lips.

By the time.

Adapt the animation and add a song called "Catching Shrimp Householders".

Adapt the movie and add a song "Due North".

Wow, it’s absolutely amazing.
