Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

And 90.00% of people have watched the movie animations about these two comics, and even played the games adapted from them.

The two comics are quite popular in later generations, the plot is very long, and they can also be changed into movies, animations and games.

With such multi-purpose comics, Yang Chen has no reason not to take them out?

Cough cough, well, having said so much, in fact the main reason is because of these two comics, whether it's its comic book, or the adapted animation, or the movie, when Yang Chen was a teenager, he didn't pull a single episode. Read it all.

He even played the game, and the characters in the plot remember it very deeply, so he planned to use these two comics to open up the situation.

The two comics have passed the market appraisal in later generations, and Yang Chen has no pressure on this.

After reading it for a while, Xu Siqi suddenly discovered a problem. Although Yang Chen changed the names of the characters in the two comics, the strong Japanese style did not change much.

Therefore, Xu Siqi couldn't help asking: "Student, do you want to borrow these two comics to open up the Japanese market?"

She couldn't help thinking this way, after all, Japan is undoubtedly the biggest manga market today.

It can be said that today's Japanese teenagers are similar to those born in the [-]s in China. The biggest entertainment comes from comics and games.

It is precisely because of this that the Japanese manga industry is so popular.

This is the same as when many people are addicted to novels in the later Internet era. There are things that people of an era like.

When the other party saw the problem, Yang Chen explained without blushing or panting: "Senior sister, you also know that the biggest consumer market for comics is undoubtedly Japan.

I have read a lot of Japanese comics before, so there are more Japanese elements in them.

Furthermore, the population of Xiangjiang is only a few million people. If we cater to the market according to the preferences of Xiangjiang people, it will inevitably be subject to certain limitations. "

After listening to Yang Chen's explanation, Xu Siqi didn't have any doubts, nodded, and picked up another comic to read.

Compared with One Piece, Naruto has more Japanese elements

In other words, the Xiangjiang comics industry actually had its own market a long time ago.

Most of the Xiangjiang comics in our memory come from the 80s and [-]s.

But the origin of Xiangjiang comics can be traced back to the end of the Qing Dynasty.

In 1920, Xiangjiang published its first comic collection "People's Mirror", and in 1934, Hong Kong officially appeared in Hong Kong with a periodical comic work "Comic Weekly".

At the end of the 30s, as a large number of inland cartoonists went south to Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang comics entered a stage of rapid development.

In that period, many excellent cartoonists were born.

The early Xiangjiang comics all had obvious traces of mainland comics, and their themes were more biased towards market life and current affairs news.

To talk about the heyday of Hong Kong comics, we have to count the 80s and [-]s, as Hong Kong moved towards a diversified economic policy.

With the rapid development of finance, trade, tourism and other industries, Xiangjiang has begun to fully integrate trade with other countries in the world, and a large number of ship products have poured into the Xiangjiang market.

Among them, Japanese comics have become the most popular book works of Hong Kong readers.

Influenced by Japanese manga, Hong Kong's local manga began to transform, from the original single-frame manga form to a more dynamic form of shot.

In terms of subject matter, it also broke away from the trivial things in the past, and began to develop in the direction of science fiction and fantasy, becoming a more pure cultural consumer product.

It is worth mentioning that, derived from the national blood of Xiangjiang people, martial arts, a masterpiece of traditional culture, has shown its talents in Xiangjiang comics, and has become the most classic tone of Xiangjiang comics in this period.

The birth of many excellent comics, such as Dragon and Tiger Gate and Chinese Heroes, pushed Xiangjiang comics to its peak.

In the Xiangjiang manga market, Xiangjiang's local manga was the real overlord at the beginning. Even if Japanese manga were inserted, it failed to open up the situation for a while.

After all, things like culture take time to get used to, and it doesn't take three or two days to get used to it.

Chapter 167 The Market Determines Everything

Speaking of this era, who is the most powerful character in Xiangjiang comics world?

Then there is no doubt that it is Huang Yulang who has produced countless classic comics.

This man in Xiangjiang comics is the same as Hero Jin Yong in novels. Both of them are well-deserved and undisputed No.1 in their respective fields.

Jin Yong founded Ming Pao, the No. [-] newspaper in Hong Kong by relying on his novels, while Huang Yulang founded Yulang International by relying on his own comics.

However, it is very likely that such a great man encountered a turning point in his life at the end of the 80s.

First, Feng Zhiming and Ma Rongcheng, the painters under his banner, left and established "Fengyunren" and "Tianxia", which directly broke Huang Yulang's unified situation in the Xiangjiang comics industry for several years.

Immediately afterwards, he was imprisoned on suspicion of committing a crime.

Affected by this, the Japanese manga industry took this opportunity to rush into Hong Kong frantically, and Japanese manga headed by "Dragon Ball" once again entered the Hong Kong market strongly.

The people of Xiangjiang, who have been deeply influenced by Xiangjiang manga for a long time, may have begun to try to receive Japanese manga because of visual aesthetic fatigue.

Sometimes new elements are always eye-catching. For a while, Japanese comics became the mainstream of the Xiangjiang market, so that the Xiangjiang comics industry began to decline.

Later, in the 21st century, the early arrival of the Internet age made the development of Xiangjiang comics full of twists and turns.

Although there is a huge market waiting to be developed in the mainland, the emerging entertainment methods mainly based on video games divert most of the once loyal comic readers.

The sales of comics have dropped sharply, the income of cartoonists has begun to shrink, and some cartoonists have even fallen into a situation where they cannot survive.

In order to survive, some cartoonists had no choice but to change careers, and when the older generation of cartoonists retired one after another.

Xiangjiang comics industry has fallen into a situation where there is no growth, and since then, like Xiangjiang movies, it has been in a state of prosperity and decline.

In fact, having said so much, the reason for the failure of Xiangjiang comics industry in the end is nothing more than market problems. At any time, the market determines the development and decline of an industry.

The reason why Japanese manga can be so prosperous is nothing more than the huge market behind it.

Compared with Japan's population of hundreds of millions, Xiangjiang has a population of only a few million. Even if the Chinese in the Gulf and Southeast Asia are included, it cannot compare with Japan's huge domestic market.

This is like a fight between a strong man who is five big and three thick and a thin young man. Even if the young man hits and kicks a dozen times, he can't cause too much damage to the strong man.

But as long as the strong man seizes the opportunity, the other party can knock the young man down with a single punch, making him unable to get up again.

Therefore, whether it is Xiangjiang movies or Xiangjiang comics, the fundamental reason why they will lose in the end is because there is not a huge ticket market behind them.

Hollywood movies have the support of the entire US market, they can afford the money, no matter how expensive the actors are, they can afford to hire them.

The same is true for Japanese comics. They have many cartoonists and more domestic readers, and most of the comics exported to the outside world have passed the market test.

There is a huge difference in strength, and winning or losing is obvious, so there is no need to compare.

Instead of saving Xiangjiang Comics, which will sooner or later become lonely, it is better to make more efforts, earn more money from foreigners, and invest in the inland.

When the inland economy develops and the people become rich, any industry can develop rapidly as long as the country slightly tilts the policy.
