Chapter 446 Stars and Cartoonists

Among the popular comics, Conan is an anime with a relatively balanced ratio of male and female viewers.

It is even possible that there are more female fans.

Sakura Snow is a new fan of Conan. She curiously searched for Su Zhe's name and immediately found a series of stills -

Qin Feng, Yang Guo, Linghu Chong, Ye Xianglun...

These stills are all top-notch costumes, top-notch photographers, and top-notch post-production. In addition, Su Zhe's top-notch appearance makes it pleasing to the eye and shocking to watch the pictures even if you don't watch the film and television industry or know the role.

This is more impactful than the photo. Sakura Snow screamed instantly:

"So handsome! Is this a Chinese star? Much better looking than the Japanese stars."

Although she is not interested in Chinese film and television dramas, she is very interested in beauty. She immediately downloaded all these pictures to her mobile phone.

Then she quickly set it as the screen saver of her mobile phone, replacing the local idol, and carefully admired it for a moment before continuing to search -

cartoonist Su Zhe.

She thought it was just a coincidence.

Although the cartoonist is talented, how could he be so handsome?

But after searching for a long time, she found that there was only one famous Su Zhe in China, the star she just found.

"Why is there no cartoonist Su Zhe?"

Sakura Xue was thoughtful, and suddenly realized that she finally figured it out:

"China doesn't respect cartoonists! Such an excellent cartoonist, but there is no information about him on the Internet!"

Sakura Xue was indignant, but immediately put it behind her and continued to appreciate the beautiful photos of the star Su Zhe.

In addition to her, other Japanese fans also found that they could not find any information about "cartoonist Su Zhe", but made "star Su Zhe" a little famous.

—— Countless Japanese fans thought they were two people.

Finally, an international student discovered the problem and quickly told them:

"Cartoonist Su Zhe is the star Su Zhe! This is the first time Su Zhe has made a comic."

Su Zhe also posted a message on Twitter under the message of the international students:

[Hello everyone, I am Su Zhe, the creator of "Detective Conan". 】

When she saw this message, Sakura Snow was showing her phone lock screen to her girlfriends and was surprised:

"Is he really a cartoonist?"

The girlfriends also screamed:

"Oh my god, so handsome, right?"

"I didn't expect the cartoonist of "Detective Conan" to be so handsome? More handsome than Shinichi."

"Is he the most handsome cartoonist ever?"

"I declare that from now on, I am a die-hard fan of "Detective Conan"!"

Sakura Snow continued to read the comments and found that other fans were also shocked by Su Zhe's appearance.

At this time, the fans took the initiative to popularize Su Zhe's identity and wrote about Su Zhe's achievements in the comments.

Sakura Snow was like reading a science fiction novel, and she couldn't believe it:

"He is not only handsome, but also a top singer and actor in China. He has won the grand slam of singer and actor awards in China."

There are also a bunch of introductions to the works, and Sakura Snow immediately thought of those Su Zhe's stills.

There are even some fans who are bold on Twitter and directly declare that Su Zhe is "China's No. 1 Star".

This is a bit crazy, and it will attract too much hatred in China.

But when it comes to foreign countries, there is less controversy.

Sakura Xue feels that the world is unreal:

"China's No. 1 star? So popular?"

At this time, a close friend said thoughtfully:

"I seem to have heard of him. It seems that he was stranded on a deserted island and led the stars to be rescued. It's amazing."

"I have also heard that Su Zhe is the most popular star in China."

After all, they are neighboring countries separated by a strip of water. Even if they don't care about each other's entertainment industry, they have probably heard of some top stars.

Of course, compared with stars of the same level, Su Zhe has risen too recently and has not come to Japan for promotion and publicity, so his fame is relatively low.

If the Japanese don't know much about Su Zhe's works and awards, but when he said that he had just won the Tokyo Film Emperor, some people thought of it.

Sakura Xue checked the news and saw the photo of Su Zhe receiving the award. She no longer had any doubts:

"He is also the Tokyo Film Emperor! This shows that his acting skills are really excellent. He is really a powerful Chinese star!"

A group of little girls felt as if they had dug up a big treasure. Every time they dug a shovel, they could dig out a lot of "gold"--

"Su Zhe is really good!"

No matter they are little girls, big girls, or boys, Japanese netizens were shocked when they saw Su Zhe's resume.

For many things, because they don't know much about the Chinese entertainment industry, they can't accurately appreciate Su Zhe's awesomeness.

But after checking his movie box office and converting it into Japanese yen, as long as you can understand the numbers, you can feel the shock:

[The total box office of the movies he starred in exceeded 400 billion yen, and the highest single movie exceeded 120 billion yen. ]

[400 billion? One person has more than the top ten movies in Japan combined? ]

[More than the top ten? The first in Japan is only 40 billion yen (Demon Slayer)! The top ten only add up to 250 billion yen. 】

[Su Zhe's "Tang Detective" series, the two films add up to almost 250 billion yen. 】

The value of the award is difficult to measure, but money has a clear conversion. The Japanese did a simple calculation and were immediately shocked.

Su Zhe's horrific box office results are equally shocking even in China, but after all, it is the total box office accumulated one by one, breaking through cognition little by little, and unknowingly making people accustomed to the "elephant in the room".

But when the Japanese suddenly saw this elephant, they were immediately shocked and could hardly believe it:

【According to statistics, after Su Zhe became famous, it took only three years to accumulate 400 billion box office. 】

【In these three years, the total box office of all movies in Japan was only 520 billion. 】

【In other words, Su Zhe is about equal to the entire Japanese film industry? 】

【Considering the net profit, I think it is greater. 】

They just wanted to dig up the information of a "new cartoonist" to see who this Chinese cartoonist who shamed the Japanese cartoon industry is, how old he is, and what experience he has.

Unexpectedly, they dug up a big crocodile and shamed the Japanese film industry.

Japanese film industry: ...

In fact, they have known about Su Zhe's achievements for a long time, so they have always wanted to participate in "Tang Detective 3".

But it is a bit embarrassing to be discovered by the public and use them as a foil.

So, Su Zhe was like a typhoon, blowing wildly over the island country.

Countless people talked about Su Zhe and were shocked by his achievements.

And this kind of praise also attracted attacks from the right wing.

In a certain program, a famous commentator directly questioned:

"Su Zhe is a big star in China, how could he understand comics? He must have plagiarized and occupied the fruits of his employees' labor."

"The real creator of "Detective Conan" is someone else, said to be a Japanese cartoonist."

It has to be said that this sentence is like a satire on Japan.

Who doesn't know that the culture of superiors and subordinates and seniors and juniors in Japan and South Korea is the most rigid? It can be said that workplace bullying is rampant.

It can only be said that people will only attack others from the perspective of their own understanding.

But substitution is really useful. Japanese netizens associated their experiences of being oppressed by their predecessors and superiors, and immediately became popular:

[Su Zhe is so hateful! I said, celebrities are ignorant, how can they draw comics? ]

[Boycott "Detective Conan"! Unless the real creator is made public! ]

[As a star, how could Su Zhe know how to paint? I don't think he has even held a paintbrush? ]

[All those who bully in the workplace should die! ]

There are always some people who think that Japanese people are of high quality and people in developed countries are of high quality.

It seems that only China has cyberbullying.

In fact, the combat effectiveness of Japanese trolls is very strong, because this country pays too much attention to "reading the atmosphere" in daily life. If you are not careful, you will offend people. You have to stay vigilant for a long time, which brings huge pressure.

Therefore, the cultural characteristics of Japan are extreme repression in normal times and crazy venting in private.

The Internet is a channel for venting.

After putting on the mask, Xiaoshi is not a human being. He often says "Go to hell", "Why don't you die", "You should die to apologize" and so on.

This kind of cyberbullying has forced some artists to death and has also attracted attention.

But in Su Zhe's opinion:

Meow meow meow?

His cats are better at swearing than Japanese people.

"These people's swearing is too weak. This level of swearing can't kill people!"

Su Zhe shook his head and sighed. If he were not a star, he would have let these people see the rich associative power of Chinese netizens in the field of swearing after fighting wits and courage with the review.

But when he was out, he had to take into account the image of China. He only released his own scripts, character designs, sketches, prop designs, and the final draft.

After being revised by the [Magic Draft Paper], these have long formed a logically clear and rigorous design process.

In order to prove himself, Su Zhe even drew several illustrations of Shinichi, Conan, Xiaolan and other characters in front of the camera.

He actually doesn't know comics, but he is proficient in oil painting (system reward), so he simply used oil painting techniques to draw.

Su Zhe initially planned to use hyperrealism techniques to show off his skills. The representative of China is Leng Jun, and his paintings are as delicate as photography.

From the perspective of artistic concepts, hyperrealism is actually somewhat controversial-since it is the same as photos, why not just take photos?

But in terms of showing off skills, it is first-class.

Whether the artistic concept is high-end or not, ordinary people can't understand and judge it at all, and can only feel it.

But whether it looks like it or not, the essence of this painting at the beginning of its birth, is something that everyone can see at a glance. Whether you understand art or not, you can easily judge it.

But the problem is that Leng Jun needs four months to paint a painting, nine hours a day. After all, it is surreal, and the details have to be paid attention to.

This time is enough for Su Zhe to shoot a movie with a box office of several billion.

Unless the price of his paintings can be comparable to "Mona Lisa's Smile" (at least 100 billion), he can't waste so much time to prove himself.

So he didn't show off too much, just painted two simple paintings, Shinran and Conan and Ai (to be fair, don't involve him in the future CP party fight), both of which are biased styles, not comic styles.

After the painting was finished, he suddenly had an idea and designed a painting shape - he was holding a brush and coloring Qin Feng's comic image, and after adding eyes, Qin Feng seemed to come alive.

The design of this painting is very interesting. Su Zhe's self-portrait uses surrealism, which takes a long time to paint, while Qin Feng on the drawing board is in comic style, and half of it is colored, and the other half is still black and white lines.

But surrealism is too slow to paint, so Su Zhe has only released the first two paintings for the time being.

But after these two paintings were posted online, the Japanese trolls who were originally surging became silent in an instant.

[Can he really draw? I think his paintings are great. ]

[Gorgeous, dynamic, full of tension, really outstanding. ]

Although the two paintings by Xinlan and Ke Ai are not too ostentatious, the skills displayed in modeling, light and shadow, and color are still extremely surprising.

An oil painter stood up and said:

[Su Zhe just drew simply. It’s hard to tell how high his level is, but at least it’s at a professional level. 】

[Yes, looking at his relaxed appearance during the painting process, his level may be higher than we imagined. 】

Top cartoonists, except for those who are eccentric like One, usually have good art skills.

Of course, cartoonists do not need to know oil painting, and thick painting does not mean that they have higher art skills.

But Su Zhe showed professional oil painting skills, which at least shows that he has strong art skills.

Some trolls began to believe that he was really a cartoonist.

Of course, right-wingers continue to clamor:

"This can only mean that he can paint oil paintings, but it does not mean that he has not taken credit from his subordinates!"

Then, Ma Tou She released some meeting videos of Su Zhe directly participating in animation production in the early episodes.

There are also emails exchanged, bow-tie props designed by Su Zhe on the spot, etc.

The workmanship is perfect, there is no doubt about it.

The Cane Canes also came up with more information about Su Zhe:

[My brother is a top screenwriter, a best-selling author, and the top scorer in the college entrance examination. How can you treat him as an ordinary star? 】

[Su Zhe is a top talent in China, don’t doubt him, just worship him! 】

[Don’t talk about "Conan", the entire Tang Detective series is the work of Su Zhe, he is a master of reasoning! 】

Japanese people with normal IQs all understand that Su Zhe is really the main creator of "Conan".

The rest pretend to be confused just to find a reason to criticize him, so don't care.

These discussions made "Detective Conan" even more popular, and brought an unexpected benefit -

Regardless of whether you believe Su Zhe is the main creator or not, when arguing, you must say that this is an excellent animation, and even the doubters praise it even more exaggeratedly.

For example, during the battle between Han Zhou and Zhou, what Zhou said was just like flattery - there was no way a high school student could write such an excellent book! (main idea)

It is indeed excellent, but it is not so exaggerated...

Therefore, the ratings of "Conan" unexpectedly exceeded 10 in one fell swoop.

TEPCO was extremely proud. They got the broadcast rights of "Conan" without paying almost any price, accounting for 10% of the ratings.

For TEPCO, which is strapped for funds, this is tantamount to a windfall from heaven.

Although other TV stations that had rejected Su Zhe did not regret it too much - although "Conan" was successful, it did not determine the life or death of the TV station.

But it is said that those in the middle management who looked down on Su Zhe and "Conan" were no longer enough to bow to the TV station executives and admit their mistakes, so they had to step down.

Su Zhe only took these gossips for fun and didn't take them seriously.

But "Unnatural Death", which was also underestimated, finally received the attention it deserved due to the popularity of "Conan".
