On July 22, 1992, elementary school students, middle school students, high school students, college students, and even some social animals all started to get excited at the same time.

Because this day is Tuesday of this week, and it is also the day when "Weekly Shonen Jump" is released.

Of course, due to transportation issues, readers who can buy the latest "Weekly Shonen Jump" on Tuesday are generally in the surrounding areas near Tokyo.

Children in the farthest places, such as the Ryukyu region, have to wait until Friday to see the latest issue of "Weekly Shōnen Jump", and in some mountain villages with even more inconvenient transportation, they have to wait even several months.

However, this will never hinder children's enthusiasm to buy "Weekly Shōnen Jump". In this era when entertainment only includes TV, no mobile phones, no Internet, and no iPads, the best and most convenient entertainment activity is reading comics.

, especially "Weekly Shōnen Jump", is a treasure that countless children regard as a treasure.

"Hey, look, this issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump" has a new serialization!" Soon, the children discovered that this issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump" actually had a new serialization of comics.

For a reader who likes "Weekly Shonen Jump", reading a new issue of comic strips is the most interesting thing. Because every new comic strip means opening a brand new story and a new setting.

Dinghe characters will have more interesting stories and dreams.

Therefore, when children find out that there are new serials appearing in "Weekly Shonen Jump", they usually can't wait to read these new serials first to see if they meet their interests.

As a result, Fuso's nearly 2 million readers were the first to see the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" comic on Tuesday, and in the next few days, a total of 6 million readers will continue to see this comic.

If those children who have no money to buy "Weekly Shonen Jump" and use "Weekly Shonen Jump" in the hands of their classmates to read comics, then the reading volume will instantly expand to tens of millions, or even tens of millions.

.

"Original work: Takahashi Kazuki, script: Jia Yapeng? So Fuso also has the surname Jia?" Seeing Jia Yapeng's name appearing in the script, the children were a little curious, because the surname Jia has basically never been used in Japan.

Never seen before.

"There should be, right? Didn't the book say that Fusang has tens of thousands of different surnames?" Some children said disapprovingly. Fusang has all kinds of surnames. People with the surname of Xiaoquan are everywhere, and people with the surname of Jia don't matter.

Curious. Anyway, no child knows that the name Jia Yapeng is actually from China.

A few years later, when some readers who still have this issue of "Weekly Shōnen Jump" will see the name Jia Yapeng, they will show extremely complicated expressions. This is really a guy who is both annoying and unable to get rid of, just like the future

The Mahua Vine is the same as Mayun.

"How's it going? Is the new comic good?"

"It's okay, it's quite interesting!"

“Not bad, it’s really fun to watch!”

"Others are fine, but the hairstyle is too crazy. This hairstyle is so creative!"

"What is this Qin Shi Huang? Do any of you know?"

When the children took the lead in reading the new comic, they would all talk with their friends nearby, and they all thought it was pretty good. Of course, some thought the hairstyle was terrible, and some had no idea who Qin Shihuang was.

Not bad. Overall, this is a pretty good start.

However, at this time, "Yu-Gi-Oh!" has only updated one episode, so it is unlikely to cause such a huge sensation. Children just think this comic is good. Readers of a comic need to accumulate slowly. Sometimes

It may take several years to settle.

For example, the original Dragon Ball took two years to accumulate.

Even for a god-level comic like "Doraemon", it took three years for it to explode among readers.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for a comic to quickly become popular among readers. This is a process that takes time to accumulate. However, there are ways to speed it up. For example, animation is a great idea.

Through animation, the original somewhat monotonous comics can be turned into animations that can move and talk, and at the same time further enrich the connotation of the story, which can greatly promote the comics.

In fact, most animated comics do not expect the animation itself to make money. They only hope to use animation to make the comics popular and earn a considerable amount of income.

All Fuso's god-level comics gradually became deified after the animation.

However, animation is only a benefit that some comics can enjoy. Only about 30% of the outstanding comics in "Weekly Shonen Jump" can be qualified for animation, and it usually takes one or two years, or even three or four years of serialization.

Only then will you get the opportunity to animate.

Among them, the one with the fastest animation speed is probably Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon began serialization on December 28, 1991, and TV Animation announced its animation on March 7, 1992. There was only more than two months in between.

Sailor Moon is not a manga from "Weekly Shonen Jump". The fastest record of "Weekly Shonen Jump" was set by Hunter. After five months of serialization, the anime was announced.

However, this record will no longer exist, because when the children finished reading the first episode of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" in "Weekly Shonen Jump", they were extremely surprised to find that on the last page of the first episode, "Weekly Shonen Jump"

" announced that the animation work for "Yu-Gi-Oh!" has begun, and the first episode is expected to be broadcast on October 1, 1992, just in time for the new episode in October.

"Damn it, the animation was announced directly in the first episode. This is so awesome!!!" Countless teenagers who saw this couldn't help but exclaimed.

"It's so scary. Who is the boss behind Takahashi Kazuki? He actually announced the animation in the first episode. It's too fast!" This news was extremely shocking even in the editorial department of "Weekly Shonen Jump"

and enviable news.

"Yes, Mr. Kamiya and the others all called me and asked me in a roundabout way who was behind Takahashi Kazuki and what benefits did it give to the editorial department!"

"Haha, you're pretty good. Several of my teachers almost started scolding me, and I kept smiling along with them. It's so difficult!" Several editors discussed, although they were actually the first batch to know about "The Game"

"King" will be animated, but the news is still shocking.

"Hey, hey, do you know which animation company is responsible for the animation this time?" an editor asked excitedly.

"Who is it? Risheng?"

"No, it's Dynasty, the Dynasty Animation Company in China!" the editor said quickly.

"Dynasty is the company that produced "Brothers of the Four Drivers" and "Heroes of the Water Margin"!" It seems that the reputation of Dynasty Animation has indeed spread in Fuso. Even the editorial department of "Weekly Shonen Jump" heard this

The name of Dynasty Animation made people a little excited.

There is no way, who makes the animation produced by Dynasty Animation always crush everyone with its picture quality. In the entire Fuso, before KyoAni and UFO were born, I am afraid there is no animation production company that can compare with Dynasty Animation.

Although the production costs of each company are the same, almost a few million yuan, the price of hiring one painter in China is equivalent to the salary of five painters in Fuso. How can this be compared?

"Come on, with the blessing of the dynasty, it seems that this "Yu-Gi-Oh!" is destined to become a hit!" an editor sighed.

"That's not necessarily true. No matter how good the animation quality is, the story itself must keep up. Whether "Yu-Gi-Oh!" can really become popular depends on this return visit... Takahashi-kun, the latest

Have you calculated the reader return list for the first issue? Where does your "Yu-Gi-Oh!" rank?" Another editor shouted loudly towards Takahashi Toshimasa, who had just arrived at the company and was still eating breakfast.

asked.

"It's not high, it's just 12th place!" Takahashi Toshichang said calmly.

"The 12th place is not high. This is a new comic by a newcomer. It is ranked twelfth on the ranking list for the first time. It seems that "Yu-Gi-Oh!" is really going to become popular!

"Hey, Takahashi-kun, what is that in your hand?" Suddenly, an editor looked at the packaging bag in Takahashi Toshichang's hand and asked curiously.

"Oh, a new type of instant noodles has just been put on the shelves at the 7-11 convenience store downstairs of the company. What's the name of the instant noodles? This type of instant noodles actually has to be crushed before you can eat it!" Takahashi Junchang said.

"I crushed the instant noodles to eat. This is so interesting. I'm going to buy a pack and try it!" Several other editors heard this and said eagerly.

At this time, Takahashi Toshichang suddenly thought of something. He placed the bag of crispy noodles in front of everyone, then pointed at the yellow Pikachu on the crispy bread bag and said, "This crispy noodles mascot is so cute. What do you think?"

If we buy the copyright of this mascot and put it as a mascot in a comic, will it quickly arouse the love of readers?"
