Qianwumei Also Wants To Be a Cartoonist

Chapter 58: Cute culture

     What is the definition of so-called cute works?

   For the otaku, love is cute, which is indisputable.

   In the world of An Yi, cute animations in a narrow sense are generally believed to have been born around 2003. Since 2004, most late nights in Japan have broadcast such animations. Moe animation does not stick to the production cost of tens of millions of yen and only a few percent of the ratings. Its profit method is to first instill the concept of characters in the work into the audience, and capture the TV set through the female characters combined with various cute attributes. A piece of cute otaku, and then turn their love for the characters in the work into consumption behaviors for their peripheral products such as DVDs and figures, so as to achieve profitability. So some people say that the cute animations broadcast on TV sell not the plot, but the characters. That's why.

What I have to mention here is the "Neon Genesis Evangelion" broadcast in 1997. The success of this work is precisely the otaku who is not good at expressing. In the role of Ikura Shinji as his own projection object, it has produced a great Due to the sense of substitution. Another success of this work is the creation of two female characters, Ling Boli and Asuka. Although the work is not a cute animation, the two characters were conquering the audience with different combinations of cute attributes at the time. Even many years after the completion of the animation, various peripheral products are still being launched. It can be said that "Neon Genesis Evangelion" has created a profit model for the cute animation that will appear a few years later. Because of the above and other meanings, "Neon Genesis Evangelion" has become an epoch-making masterpiece in the history of Japanese animation.

Cute works can also be said to be house works. From the very niche at the beginning, they gradually became popular, such as "Lori", "Yu Jie", "Mei", "Glasses Girl", "Maid", The cute attributes such as "Three Nothings", "Tsundere", "Vitality", and "Sick Jiao" are also well-known. Even in the Internet novels of the Celestial Dynasty, various harem ambiguous works will also give female characters Various cute attributes.

   However, afterwards, it was the waste of cute works that simply piled up cute elements, and the commercialization tendency was too obvious. It seems that as long as it is a harem comic, there must be three no characters, Tsundere characters, etc., which are the same, with little difference.

   It is worth mentioning that the spread of cute culture is also indispensable for the contribution of fanzine.

In Greater China, a major animation country, various comic exhibitions are held frequently. Among them, the world’s largest fanzine is held every August and December. Anime fans call it the "Holy War". "To express his love and admiration for him, it also includes a kind of ridicule about the arduous process of fighting... After all, there are some particularly popular fans, if they want to buy their works, they have to line up.

   Of course, there is no shortage of role-playing in the comic show. Due to the prevalence of martial arts comics, many role-playing are those of chivalrous men and women, which are relatively monotonous.

   So, the scale of this big China comic exhibition in the world is actually not that big. This is because there is no such defect of the magical cute culture and otaku-there are too few otaku and otaku!

   And in the world of An Yi, all LL gods, "the country is about to die, all over the land" are coming out, not to mention the veteran doujin miracle Oriental Gensokyo.

Including many cute works of magical girl themes, Anyi has so many materials in her mind, but for a while, she feels that “squandering flowers are gradually becoming charming”, she does not know what to choose to start with. After all, the development of cute culture, It is a step-by-step process. It requires a long period of brainwashing. It does not mean that you can create a trend by just drawing a cute work.

   It is necessary to turn such a work with cute elements into a popular IP masterpiece, develop peripheral products on a large scale, and let those capitals see how much profit and value the cute culture can create.

   Whatever, once it is promoted by interests, it will develop faster!

   Otherwise, it will always be An Yi who is entertaining herself by herself, and it is impossible to spread the cute culture at all!

   The most important thing is that many cute works have a Japanese style that is too strong. If you want them to have vitality in this country where Greater China dominates the world, they must be transformed...

   This is much more difficult and more complicated than adapting Jin Yong and Gu Long's martial arts novels to make them into martial arts comics.

   After all, Jin Yong Gulong's works can be regarded as Chinese traditional culture, and Moe culture is originally imported.

   However, since An Yi is determined to promote the development of cute culture, she will definitely do it down to earth. She wants to try such a challenging thing!

   Therefore, the first work she selected with cute elements created the "Neon Genesis Evangelion" by "Three Goddess" Ling Boli and "Tsundere Girl" Asuka.

The revolutionary strong stream of consciousness technique in the animation, the use of a large number of religious and philosophical images, has set off a huge reverberation and impact in Japanese society called "social phenomenon", and has become a milestone in the history of Japanese animation, and it is also recognized as a milestone in the history of Japanese animation. One of the greatest animations in Japanese history.

   The film is considered to be the same as "Gundam" and "Macros". And together with "Girls Revolution" and "Mobile Battleship", it is called the three major Otaku works of the 1990s. For Fans, it not only left countless puzzles to be solved, but also created a money-swindling myth that seems to be inexhaustible forever. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Regardless of this milestone, the most important thing is that this is a work that cheats money and makes fans willing to pay. Its influence and commercial value are incalculable. After all, mecha works, Don’t make too much money by selling various figures...

However, it must be admitted that "Neon Genesis Evangelion" can be so popular in Japan and its status is so high. It has an inseparable relationship with the social environment and background at that time. It hastily transferred a work that has been passed down for a while and changed its era and background. , Whether it can catch fire or not is simply unknown.

When    Anyi decided to adapt it into a comic, she was mentally prepared that it would not become popular and no one would care about it.

   But it is also an attempt anyway. Trying may not succeed, but not trying it will definitely not succeed!

   Her requirements are not high, she only hopes that Ling Boli from Sanwu and Asuka from Tsundere, their cuteness can be remembered forever...

There are these two "mountain monsters", slowly paving the way and accumulating, gaining more attention from cartoonists and illustrators, attracting more people who can draw and write to join the queue to expand the cute culture, as time goes by Only with the passage of time can the cute culture burst out completely!
