Chapter 444 It’s Time for the Devils to Eat Raw Meat
At this time, "Detective Conan" was broadcast steadily in China, and had been broadcast for more than 70 episodes, dominating the broadcast charts.
With the appearance of Kaito Kid, "Detective Conan" became more fashionable, and the audience grew.
After all, Kaito Kid is a character that can be produced in a derivative anime ("Magic Kaito"), and as a super villain who is both good and evil, he is extremely popular.
"Detective Conan" fans and Tang Tan fans are very proud and boast on social media.
The sugar canes feel even more proud, thinking that Su Zhe is not only a genius in music, film and television, but also a master in animation.
But there are also dissatisfied voices, who don't understand why Su Zhe wants to write a detective from Japan. Isn't this an invasion of Japanese culture?
Sugar cane retorted:
[Su Zhe wants to enter the Japanese market. You don't understand his vision and strategy at all! ]
[Some people are really enough. Only Japanese people are allowed to make Three Kingdoms games, but we are not allowed to write Japanese stories? 】
【(Yu Kun) That’s right, Tokyo Lady is so popular, haven’t you read it? 】
But opponents also have something to say:
【It’s ridiculous, Japan is a big country of animation! Su Zhe is a layman, it’s ok to make money in China by relying on market protection, but he also wants to sell to Japan? 】
【Su Zhe is too arrogant, idol dramas want to compete with Korean dramas, animations want to compete with Japanese animations, who does he think he is? 】
【It’s ok to be the king in China, a cultural depression, but who will recognize him as a domestic star when he goes abroad? 】
【There are only two kinds of animation in the world, one is Japanese animation, and the other is others. 】
【American animation is not convinced. 】
【If it weren’t for the comic-adapted movies and Hollywood, American animation would be nothing? ! 】
It has to be admitted that in the field of comics, Japanese animation is indeed extremely strong in the world.
There is no need to say much in China, everyone has personal experience.
In some underdeveloped areas, the influence of Japanese animation is even greater.
For example, in Mexico, when Akira Toriyama died, drug lords announced a one-day ceasefire to mourn him.
Another example is in South America, where young people in the parade said that they could wait for a week to wait for the result of Ozora Tsubasa's shot, showing their patience.
South America is the kingdom of football, and young people are cheering for the football dreams of Japanese children.
So everyone can understand Su Zhe's entry into Japan. After all, a group of Hong Kong stars were also trying to enter this market decades ago.
But some people are puzzled by his choice of animation:
[Su Zhe is too stubborn. How can he choose other people's strong fields? ]
[As a music master, shouldn't he choose music? ]
[Yes, write a few Japanese songs, and once they become popular, they will be Asian superstars! ]
[On the contrary, animation, a great comic country, is still lacking "Detective Conan"? ]
Although they have seen "Detective Conan" and recognize the quality, they are still full of pessimism.
In order to find evidence, they found the broadcast volume of "Detective Conan" in Japan - it was terrible.
At this time, "Detective Conan" had also aired dozens of episodes in Japan.
Since it was not broadcast on several major TV stations, and the only broadcasting station, Tokyo Electric Power, treated "Conan" as a midnight animation, the main broadcast channel of "Conan" was still the online platform Netflix.
In addition, "Conan" was not adapted from a comic book and had no fan base, resulting in unsatisfactory broadcast volume.
This contrast gave the haters an argument to mock Su Zhe:
[What do you say about entering the overseas market, but in the end you can only be the king in China? ]
[Sure enough, you are too proud, you spent a lot of money to find voice actors for dubbing, and you lost money, right? ]
Su Zhe did not make much money on the "Detective Conan" project.
China is better at 3D animation, and if you want to make excellent 2D animation, you can only outsource it to Japan, which is very costly.
But the domestic broadcast fee is not high, and the quotation is about 80,000 US dollars per episode, which is not even enough to cover the cost.
In Japan, Su Zhe almost sold and gave away half of the products, and finally calculated the profits, which was barely enough to break even, and mainly relied on the domestic market.
If it was just for "Detective Conan" itself, this would be a very unprofitable business. "Detective Conan" would be cut short, which might be a good thing for him, as he would not have to be a primary school student for ten thousand years and could recover as soon as possible.
But for the "Tang Detective" series, it would be completely acceptable to treat it as a long-term advertisement without spending money.
So Su Zhe was not in a hurry, but netizens were:
[So Su Zhe relied on the support of domestic fans to shoot Japanese stories and sell them cheaply to Japanese people? ]
[Really a computer conscience, anime conscience Zhe! ]
I have to say that netizens are too venomous.
Even a calm person like Su Zhe was scolded and broken:
"Putting me on the same level as the conscience of the United States? It's too insulting!"
He was speechless, but he could only wait for time to prove it.
He was very confident. He remembered that Conan in Japan in his previous life was an anime character that could be compared with Pikachu, Blue Fatty and other characters.
With this quality, it is impossible to be buried.
And with a full 1,000 episodes, it will be discovered by the audience as it is broadcasted slowly.
But the fans were anxious. They didn't have such great confidence and were also very nervous about Su Zhe's entry into the Japanese animation industry.
So they decided to use their best skills - hit the charts!
In China, the fans were strictly controlled by Su Zhe and never used these dirty tricks. They always regarded themselves as "white lotus in the circle".
But in fact, the main reason why they didn't need to hit the charts was that they didn't need to.
Su Zhe always dominated all the charts, so why did they have to hit the charts?
But at this time, the Japanese people "didn't know the goods", and it was time for foreigners to see the shock of the domestic fan circle!
——In fact, the fan circles all over the world are equally stinky. There are still homework pressures in China, so it's okay, but there are too many people in China!
Mr. Big Bowl Wide Noodles relied on fans to hit the charts, surpassing A-mei and topping the iTunes overall chart. (It doesn't matter who A-mei is, I won't explain it)
This surprised the whole world and asked: "Who is WYF?"
A-mei fans found it even harder to accept, and angrily dissed him, and even A-mei herself came out.
Then Wu Idol was removed from iTunes US for faking data.
So, a Jama who debuted in South Korea faking data in the US, embarrassing the Chinese.
It's really intoxicating.
Nowadays, the sugarcanes have also started to faking the charts. "Detective Conan" quickly topped the Netflix charts in a short period of time.
Especially the animation charts in Japan, it actually surpassed the most popular folk comics and became the top.
——Although there is nothing to be proud of, the sugarcanes rarely showed their strength, and immediately shocked China and Japan.
The people of Japan were confused and asked on Twitter:
[Who is Conan? ]
In the Internet age, there will be no secrets about this kind of thing:
[This is an animation made by China's top star Su Zhe, which is very popular in China. ]
[But no one in Japan watches it at all, it must be the Chinese who faked the votes. 】
After figuring out that this was a "playful" work by China's top stars, they were as angry as A-mei's fans who were robbed of the top spot by Wu idol:
[Inflating data to Japan? ]
[Slippery...]
The "Taijuns" were angry, and the domestic translators were even angrier.
Like the genuine translators, they translated the "Taijuns"' abuse to China, criticizing Su Zhe for bringing shame to the Chinese people.
At this time, several countries were just warming up the variety show "National Glory". As soon as the news was released in China, some people said:
[Don't let Su Zhe represent China, it's too embarrassing! ]
[Inflating the face to Japan! ]
To be honest, these comments really made Mary Sue a little embarrassed.
Although the "translators" took the devils too seriously and paid too much attention to "surprise of friendly countries", in the final analysis, inflating data is a wrong thing.
The cause of the incident was that the fans did something wrong, so it was normal for the idol to take the blame when the fans did something wrong.
Su Zhe is not the kind of guy who would incite national sentiment even if he did something wrong, and blame all the mistakes on foreigners, and call anyone who dares to criticize him a "traitor".
And it's useless to be tough, because foreign platforms will not lick domestic stars like domestic platforms such as Weibo.
For example, it's even more embarrassing when Wu idol was removed from iTunes.
Su Zhe posted on Weibo honestly:
[I, Mary Sue, and Long Aotian have always opposed any form of ranking and scoring, and firmly believe that the ranking and scoring should be the result of the audience's spontaneous choice, and should objectively reflect the quality of the work. I have reported the abnormality of Netflix's ranking this time to Netflix, and will deal with it in a timely manner after receiving the technical results. ]
Someone asked him in the comments: [If it is found that the ranking was tampered, will you apologize? ]
Su Zhe clearly replied: [Of course, you must stand at attention when you are beaten. 】
This made the fans feel wronged and full of guilt for him:
[Brother, don't bow your head, the crown will fall off! ]
[Don't scold brother, these are all spontaneous actions of our fans, you can't blame brother! ]
[Wow, when has brother ever suffered such grievances? Since his debut, even if he was criticized by the whole world, he has never bowed his head. ]
[Brother, no need to apologize, we are willing to be enemies with the whole world for you! ]
Su Zhe: ...
Thank you, I don't want to be enemies with the whole world.
Some passers-by understood:
[Su Zhe is really unprovoked. Even with such strict management, there are still fans who help him brush the charts. ]
[I have suffered for the fans. ]
[In fact, to be clear, it is all the fans who acted on their own initiative, and he can't be blamed. ]
Su Zhe responded:
[The behavior of individual fans really can't be blamed on idols. But large-scale actions can't be blamed on them, just blame me. 】
He took the initiative to take the blame, which made passers-by feel that he was responsible, unlike some idols who blamed fans after cutting leeks.
And the fans were even more moved when they saw it:
[Really can't blame the brother! ]
[Wow, so touching, it was obviously our fault, but the brother took the blame for us. ]
In China, people were busy watching this drama of idols and fans fighting for the blame, but they didn't notice the changes in Japan's attitude towards "Detective Conan".
After Conan topped the charts, although countless people angrily questioned "Who is Conan?" and "Who is Su Zhe?", it did increase its fame.
Whether it was a good reputation or a bad reputation, the popularity of Detective Conan increased dramatically.
No matter how much they cursed, there were always people who were curious and clicked in to curse with reason.
Keita Urata was like this.
He made videos on YouTube recommending new anime, with tens of thousands of subscribers. He was an amateur YouTuber and could only make a little money every month.
But he was a otaku who loved anime and was very satisfied.
Now seeing the popularity of Conan, he immediately prepared the copy and decided to complain about the comic from all angles and laugh at the arrogant Chinese star in order to get more subscriptions.
He even thought of the title - "A poor anime, a shameless ranking, and a ridiculous Chinese star".
But as he clicked on Conan and saw the smooth content, his eyes gradually changed from carelessness to seriousness.
He would not be as excited as the domestic audiences about the extended contents of Tang Detective, but he slowly let go of his contempt from the smooth rhythm of young love and reasoning in the first episode:
"Huh? It seems to be a qualified reasoning work. Youth campus plus reasoning and solving cases, high school student detective, although not too innovative, it is also interesting."
Although Japan in this world does not have works such as "Detective Conan" and "Kindaichi Case Files", as a major animation and reasoning country, it is natural that there will be reasoning animation.
But relatively speaking, the reasoning animation here is mainly based on curious pictures and reflects society, and there are no particularly influential detective idol dramas.
And the high school student detective, who combines love and reasoning, has also appeared here, but because the cartoonist is not good at designing tricks, it finally leans towards love and becomes a love comic with reasoning gimmicks.
So Keita Urata, who has read a lot of movies, saw the excellence of "Detective Conan" when he saw the first episode.
But he still feels that "Detective Conan" cannot design too many cases, and finally returns to love and becomes an ordinary campus drama.
He was very sure, but when he saw the end of the first episode, Shinichi turned into a child Conan, and his eyes widened immediately:
"Becoming an elementary school student? What kind of development is this?"
When he saw the second episode, he was even more shocked:
"Using an anesthetic needle and a bow-tie voice changer to solve the case? An elementary school detective?"
The "somewhat novel" he had originally written on the paper was immediately erased, leaving "novel settings, interesting developments".
After writing, he hesitated for a moment and added:
"But relying on gimmicks is useless. It can't maintain the quality of the case. It's just a fantasy science fiction animation."
He was very sure:
"The quality of this case can't be maintained for more than ten episodes."
So he watched ten episodes in one go, and it was already late at night.
But he was still unsatisfied and muttered:
"Twenty episodes is the limit. Chinese people can't write so many cases."
After watching twenty episodes, Urata Keita had been following the show for eight hours in a row.
But he didn't feel sleepy at all, and swore:
"I don't believe I can maintain this quality if I watch another 20 episodes!"
Unfortunately, the Japanese version only played to episode 35. After he finished watching it, it was already dawn, but he still felt it was very exciting.
At this time, he didn't care how long "Detective Conan" could maintain its quality, he just wanted to see the next episode!
Because this episode happened to be "The Bandage Monster Murder Case in the Villa (Part 1)".
This is the most terrifying episode in the early days of "Detective Conan": Blizzard Villa mode, dismemberment, beheading, bandages, repeated attacks on Xiaolan, and the deliberately created horror atmosphere, all make people scared and addicted.
——No wonder (in this world) Tepco uses "Detective Conan" as a midnight animation. Some cases are really creepy and can be called childhood shadows.
Who can resist watching the next episode after watching half of it? Even if you cover your eyes and watch it through the gaps between your fingers, you have to finish it!
So Keita Urata used his otaku talent to learn by himself, found Penguin Comics, and read the "raw" version of "The Bandage Monster Murder Case (Part 2)" through translation software.
Haha, the devils have finally come to this day!
