Chapter 439: The Huge Tang Detective Universe Reveals Its Ferocity for the First Time
"Detective Conan" is really too long. It was created in 1994. The animation has more than a thousand episodes, plus more than 20 theatrical versions.
During this long period of time, the mobile phones in the animation have changed from feature phones to smart phones, and I don't know how many times the clearly stated festivals have passed.
During this period, the audience has changed from elementary school students to middle-aged people, but Conan is always in the first grade of elementary school.
This has derived a lot of memes, such as the perpetual elementary school student and the chaotic timeline, and even the fan works are making fun of it.
But it also shows that "Detective Conan" is the most successful reasoning animation in the world. Although Conan is not as good as Mario, Blue Fat Man, Pikachu, Goku and others, he is also one of the representatives of Japan.
(Kindaichi's fans may disagree. The case may be more sophisticated, but the influence is indeed not comparable.)
These all prove Conan's success, making Su Zhe very confident in the prospects of animation.
So he deleted Xiaolan's welfare shots.
In the early stage of "Detective Conan", Xiaolan was responsible for distributing welfare, mainly through taking a bath with Conan and other methods.
This is too normal.
Because when Japanese cartoonists start serializing, just like Chinese online writers, they don’t know whether this comic will become popular.
So putting some tempting pictures at the beginning to attract readers into the pit, and abandoning those scandalous means after success has become a very natural method that conforms to the principles of commercialization.
Even the world's number one "Dragon Ball" relies on Bulma to sell benefits in the early stage. Although Bulma and Goku are not CP (but there are CP fans), she is also a well-deserved heroine.
"Naruto" uses the male protagonist Naruto's seduction technique to directly sell benefits.
Even "The Case Files of Young Kindaichi", which is also a detective reasoning comic with a better reputation, has a smaller scale, but also has various inexplicable panty exposure scenes.
- By the way, this seems to be the hobby of the comic author Sato Fumiya. "Detective Academy Q" also shows panties in various ways, even the heroine is not spared.
In short, it is very normal for "Detective Conan" to use Xiaolan to sell benefits, which is beyond reproach, and Su Zhe never rejects these methods.
But Su Zhe knew that this was not necessary. The quality of "Detective Conan" was enough to make it popular, and these benefits made Xiaolan's characterization very awkward.
In "Dragon Ball", Bulma and Goku, the "welfare princess", had almost no emotional scenes, which might be affected by the previous plot.
In "Detective Conan", the Shinran Party was overtaken by the Conan and Ai Party, and they were suppressed for a long time, and the quarrels between the two sides were very serious.
The only domestic CP war that can be compared with this is probably the recently overhauled "Zhu Xian", and the red and white party disputes are also crazy.
So when the anime was broadcast, the audience focused their attention and paid attention to the plot to see what tricks Su Zhe could play.
Yu Xiangxiu was filming in the crew. At night, he immediately turned on the tablet and clicked on "Detective Conan".
"Sister, you are in college, and you still watch cartoons?"
A senior asked her with a smile.
Yu Xiangxiu said quickly:
"Teacher, this is an animation work launched by Brother Su Zhe, who wrote and drew it himself."
"Oh, it's the derivative work of "Detective Chinatown" that everyone is talking about." The senior suddenly realized and asked curiously, "You participated in the first part, will you appear again in the future?"
Yu Xiangxiu answered honestly:
"Brother said that I participated in the third part as a member of Q...ah! I forgot, brother asked me to keep it secret and not leak the script."
"Haha, cherish the opportunity, the "Detective Chinatown" series is really amazing, everyone wants to join." The senior laughed, "I won't bother you, you continue watching."
Yu Xiangxiu stood honestly, and after watching the senior leave, he couldn't wait to take out the tablet and continue watching.
"Episode One: The Shrinking Detective" (No animation, the 20th anniversary special edition "episode-one The Shrinking Detective")
The animation begins with a scientific laboratory of a mysterious organization, where the eighteen-year-old Miyano Shiho (before Huihara Ai shrunk) is doing experiments.
And in the mysterious organization's brewery, the most famous gin and vodka also appeared one after another.
These are just background introductions, but the audience remembers them seriously.
This is the role of Su Zhe's past achievements.
Even if it is just a casual note, the audience will take it as a foreshadowing to avoid missing details when the reversal occurs later.
After these backgrounds flashed quickly, Shinichi and Xiaolan appeared.
The two of them were showing off their love, showing the sweetness of high school love.
[Wow, Shinichi is so handsome! He is worthy of being Qin Feng's good friend. Only handsome people can make friends with handsome people. ]
[Su Zhe's campus drama is too sweet, which reminds me of "It Started with a Kiss". Don't shoot martial arts and reasoning all day long, and do some sweet dramas, okay? ]
[Yeah, shoot a real-life drama of Shinichi and Xiaolan! Su Zhe, can you play Shinichi yourself? 】
Seeing these comments, Yu Xiangxiu's heart moved, and she said:
"Brother plays Shinichi, I play Xiaolan..."
She fell into fantasy, but looking at Xiaolan's tall and beautiful appearance, she couldn't help but feel discouraged:
"Sister You is more suitable to play Xiaolan, I can only play Ayumi at most." (Already appeared)
At this time, the comments made a guess:
[Isn't this a mystery anime? It's still the famous detective "Conan", Shinichi and Xiaolan are just supporting roles, right? Why do they keep talking about them? ]
[Generally speaking, in mystery dramas, in addition to detectives, the most roles are the murderer and the deceased! Shinichi may be dead. ]
[No, it's too cruel! ]
Yu Xiangxiu's heart tightened, but when she heard Shinichi's lines, she was attracted again.
In the animation, Shinichi introduces the famous detectives in the world to Xiaolan to explain his goal - to become a famous high school detective comparable to them.
In the original film, Shinichi talks about the famous Sherlock Holmes in the history of detective literature.
But Su Zhe was replaced by the famous detective from Tangtan Universe - still Sherlock Holmes, but no longer the ancient one.
Xinyi talked enthusiastically about Sherlock, the famous detective in Baker Street, England, and Qin Feng, a talented high school student in China whom he met on the Internet.
"He wants to get into the police academy. I have always advised him to just become a detective. We will solve the cases that the police department cannot solve!"
Xiaolan was looking at the photo of Qin Feng displayed by Xinyi. Her best friend and daughter of a wealthy businessman, Yuanzi, appeared with a look of infatuation on her face:
"So handsome! Can you introduce him to me?"
Xiaolan also smiled and said: "You are indeed so handsome! Come on Yuanzi!"
Shinichi was immediately jealous: "Am I as handsome as I am?"
Seeing this scene, Yu Xiangxiu couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Wow, Xinyi is really Qin Feng's best friend! But in terms of handsomeness, Xinyi, you are definitely not as good as my brother!"
The barrage is also laughing:
[How do two-dimensional characters compare with real-life celebrities? 】
[Su Zhe really loves you, even secretly praising yourself for being handsome while filming anime. 】
Next, the animation uses some short plots and allows Shinichi to solve a simple case and introduces the characteristics of the main characters——
Xiaolan's powerful force, Shinichi's poisonous tongue and keenness, Sonoko's wealth, Mouri Kogoro's off-line, the doctor's magical inventions, etc.
These character traits will be strengthened in each case, and right now, the audience is paying most attention to four characters:
[The combination of Xinyi and Xiaolan, Zhijiali, is like a replica of Qin Feng and Tang Ren. 】
[The new one is a winner in life, his girlfriend is beautiful and capable of fighting; on the other hand, Old Qin only has a cousin Xiao Tang whose blood is thicker than water. 】
[Has Kogoro always been so off-line? It seems that Shinichi has not become a famous detective yet, but Shinichi has become a famous local high school detective and has helped the police solve many cases. 】
[Wait, where is Conan? As the protagonist, he hasn't appeared yet? 】
In the confusion of the audience, the first important case - the roller coaster murder case finally started.
Shinichi solved the case easily and satisfied the audience who came to watch the reasoning:
[Su Zhe finally remembered that this is a mystery comic, not a dog-food comic. I guess this will be the rhythm from now on, falling in love and solving cases at the same time, like a dog-food detective. 】
[Tang Tan’s main drama is mystery + comedy, and the spin-off drama is mystery + dog food. Su Zhe understands it too well. There is no future in just writing reasoning. 】
But just when the audience thought that this was everything for this anime, when Xiaolan thought that she and Shinichi would continue to be so noisy and sweet.
Shinichi's evil curiosity aroused, and he quietly followed Vodka, who was behaving strangely.
——You brought neither football nor Xiaolan, and your force value is zero, so you dare to follow the winery? Isn't this seeking death?
Xiaolan was left in place by Shinichi, staring blankly at the back of her sweetheart, suddenly having a bad premonition.
Maybe this was her fate - to be left in the same place by Shinichi, with the sweet memories of the amusement park, staying in that evening forever, silently waiting for Shinichi's return.
This is 30 years of waiting, more than a thousand episodes, and a total of 6 meetings, which is worse than the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
At this time, a barrage passed by:
【High energy warning! 】
[Oh my God, Su Zhe’s mind exploded! 】
The scene changed, and Shinichi was caught by the winery and fed the mysterious drug he had just finished experimenting with, causing his body to shrink and turn into an elementary school student.
At this moment, the barrage exploded:
【Conan! Shinichi is Conan! 】
[No wonder it changed from "Detective Shinichi" to "Detective Conan", that's it! 】
[Damn, I think of the complicated look Conan looked at Qin Feng in "Tang Detective 2", that's it! This foreshadowing is buried too deep. 】
The first episode is over, #新一是conan#, #小名detectante# and #新一与青风# have all become hot searches.
This is extremely good for an anime that has just started airing.
Even Penguin Animation ranked "Detective Conan" second on the IP list, second only to a long-running anime.
Tang Tan fans are still very dissatisfied with this, thinking that Conan belongs to the Tang Tan universe, and Tang Tan is the well-deserved number one IP in the country.
——Do other IPs have tens of billions in box office?
But Tang Tan first entered the animation industry, and "Conan" had only aired one episode, so he immediately grabbed the first place, which was a bit overbearing.
And then, "Detective Conan" continued to release new cases, and the usual routines also appeared——
In order to keep a low profile and hide his identity, Conan opened his watch, used an anesthetic needle to stun Kogoro Mouri, and then used a bow-tie voice changer to disguise himself as Kogoro's voice to solve the case.
The high-tech equipment the doctor made for Conan cannot help him solve the case better. In fact, in the final analysis, it is still very orthodox reasoning.
But it adds interest to the animation, which is also an important reason for Conan's success.
——Mystery dramas, unless there is an extremely powerful core conspiracy (such as the corpse dismemberment conspiracy in "Astrology Killing Magic"), will never rely solely on reasoning.
This also made "Conan" more and more popular, and finally became the most popular animation in China.
Countless children and teenagers shouted famous quotes from Sherlock Holmes to Conan:
"there is only one truth!"
Su Zhe directly launched the Chinese version in China, so there was no need to add Japanese, so it was a pity that "The Scheming Frog Keeps Touching Your Belly" did not become popular.
In the case investigation, Maori Kogoro finally got the nickname familiar to the audience - Sleeping Kogoro!
As he "solved" one case after another, Kogoro's detective ranking continued to rise, becoming one of the top ten detectives in the world.
All of this matched "Detective Chinatown 2".
The audience suddenly realized, and even some Conan fans went to the cinema to watch "Detective Chinatown 2" which was about to be taken off the line, just to appreciate the short plot where Conan appeared.
They were surprised to find:
"Look at the details. Before Kogoro fainted, Conan touched his watch. I didn't notice it at the time. I didn't expect him to use a hypnotic needle!"
"The characters of Conan and Kogoro are exactly the same as in the anime, which means Su Zhe had thought about it in advance."
"Too scary, did Su Zhe design all the detectives in the Tang Detective universe? The Sherlock Holmes who flashed by in that movie, Shinichi's idol, ranked first in the world detective, did he also design the plot?"
The success of "Conan" actually boosted the box office of "Tang Detective 2", which was a pleasant surprise, or it was not a surprise. This is the mystery of IP extension.
This made the box office of "Tang Detective 2" fixed at 5.6 billion, barely surpassing the first one, and once again breaking the Chinese box office record.
As Su Zhe expected, this is the ceiling of the domestic box office.
The industry had expected it long ago, but it was still extremely shocking.
Imagination aside, seeing that the two parts of "Tang Detective" have earned 11 billion yuan at the box office, seeing that Su Zhe is making money like printing money, and seeing that he has even successfully extended his animation, I still feel that it is beyond imagination -
Why is there such a powerful person in the circle? It turns out that mystery IP is so profitable!
Thanks to Su Zhe, the copyrights of mystery novels in the country have increased by at least five times, and even some more famous copyrights have been sold directly ten or twenty times.
With 10 million for one, there are even investors who dare to take over.
After all, who doesn't want to copy Su Zhe's success?
They are not greedy, and don't ask for 5 billion per film. As long as each film earns 1 billion or 2 billion, they will be satisfied.
In the famous author forum, the authors are envious:
[Who can write mystery? There is an urgent need in the circle now, and the price is high! ]
[I have sold the copyright of a failed detective novel. Although it is a bargain price, the circle has been buying it. ]
[(Yu Kun) Writing entertainment is too difficult, so I changed my career to write mystery! ]
[This is Su Zhe's influence! But I advise you not to follow blindly. Those who followed the trend to write martial arts novels some time ago all failed. 】
【I plan to write Tang Detective fan fiction. Long Aotian Company said that as long as the writing is good, the detectives written will have the opportunity to be formally accepted and incorporated into the Tang Detective universe to solve cases with Qin Feng and Conan. 】
【Those who are slow are still hesitating, while those who are fast have already started writing. 】
After the reasoning circle expands, if a few excellent authors can emerge and create some excellent detectives, through the Tang Detective universe, it will create a lot of benefits for Su Zhe and the original author, and continue to maintain the popularity of the Tang Detective universe.
This is a win-win situation.
Of course, Su Zhe did not expect them to write works like Conan Doyle and Agatha, but as long as they can reach the level of Zijin Chen and Qin Ming in their previous lives, it will not be a loss.
But if you want to open up the foreign market, you still have to rely on fist works, and you can only rely on Su Zhe himself.
He is ready to put "Detective Conan" in the Japanese market!
