In Japan, "Fullmetal Alchemist" is so popular right now! First of all, after the popularity of the animation, it led to an increase in the sales of novels and comics. On the other hand, Kadokawa Shoten and various peripheral products collaborated by Jia Hongjian and Bandai also began to be released for sale. =====First of all, there are small hand-made models of various characters. The price of each one is really not cheap. In terms of RMB, it costs three to five hundred each! The result was a hot sale! On the other hand, various steel-made T-shirts and steel-made notebooks are on sale everywhere in Japan!
At this time, fans of "Fullmetal Alchemist" appeared everywhere, and there were more and more articles discussing "Fullmetal Alchemist" on various blogs on the Internet. For example, Wen Xun went around the Internet and found a blog written by a Chinese female college student studying in Japan. It really looked like a young and artistic person, and Wen Xun really liked it. This is what people wrote in their blog - "Equivalent exchange. Under the law of conservation of matter, nothing can come out of thin air, nothing is lost and nothing is gained. This is the principle of alchemy. The two brothers, elder brother Ed and younger brother After his mother died of illness, Al tried to use alchemy and human body composition substances to bring her back. What he got was a ball of muddy and bloody flesh. The additional price was an arm and a leg of his brother, and the entire body of his brother¡ª¡ª The body is taboo to alchemy because nothing can refine the soul.
So, the elder brother who put on the mechanical armor and the younger brother who turned into an armor set out again. This time their goal was to recover their lost bodies. Equivalent exchange, they think this is the constant law of alchemy. So all the questions changed to how to obtain the ability to exchange. My brother wanted to study alchemy and gain more powerful energy. In exchange for moral conscience. Having become a state alchemist and a lackey of the army, the younger brother has nothing to exchange for, only the determination and perseverance to live and die with his older brother. Along the way, they met all kinds of people and had all kinds of exchanges: the teacher who taught them alchemy couldn't bear the death of his beloved daughter, so he forcibly refining human bodies - and what was refining was still a team of flesh and blood - ¡ªand eventually lost half of his internal organs; in order to defend his honor and save his livelihood, the national alchemist, who holds the highest honor in human body refining, refined his daughter and the big white dog into a synthetic beast, then turned around and desperately tried to regenerate his daughter. ; The Ishbal man who lost his lover wants to bring back his beautiful lover. He resolutely chose alchemy, a taboo of the nation, and what he ended up with was still a pool of flesh and blood.
And the tragedy is far from over. Those failed products of human body refinement eventually grew into immortal scourges and wanted back their rights as "human beings". Conspiracies, fights and carnage. At the so-called moment when justice and evil are clearly distinguishable, the choices people make become extremely difficult. When the two brothers once asked the teacher why he treated those artificial beings as human beings, the teacher said angrily: "Do you know why the artificial people appeared?" What the teacher did not say was that these monsters were created by humans. They were born in When human beings are most helpless, weak and desperate, to bear them is to bear the evil obstacles they have planted. Between strangling the android daughter he created, and being strangled to death by his own android daughter, the teacher would rather choose the latter.
In the unremitting pursuit of the brothers. The secret of human body refinement was finally revealed - the so-called "philosopher's stone" that can achieve human body refinement requires the life of an entire city as the price of equivalent exchange. Naturally, this goes far beyond the brother's bottom line. Just when the elder brother finally decided to give up the idea of ??getting his body back for his younger brother in the painful choice. In a greater turmoil and conspiracy, the younger brother was refined into the "Philosopher's Stone". A lot of things go wrong like this. When the brothers get what they dream of most, what they want to do the most becomes the most difficult. Although the two brothers have the ability to refine the human body, they are even more unable to do so because the younger brother will become the material for the refinement - because no one knows what they will lose during the refinement process. The only thing they know is that they will lose everything. Sorry. At this time, the brothers realized that the so-called equivalent exchange was actually only a small part of the truth.
The refining of the human body inevitably happened and succeeded in the end, and the cause was the death of my brother. The price of refining is that the younger brother used himself as the Philosopher's Stone to become the elder brother. The awakened brother refining himself into the original younger brother and ended the human body refining between the brothers. As a result, the two brothers were separated on both sides of an iron gate of time, and they were separated from each other This story tells us such a kind of despair: when those moments when we seem to be able to choose freely and exchange equally come, we find that we actually have nothing to offer. Nothing comes but all of myself.
I am really moved by the relationship between the two brothers. They support each other and are timid in the face of family affection no matter how difficult it is. When something happens, the first thing I think of is the other person. I don¡¯t hesitate to sacrifice myself for the other person I¡¯m glad that I also have a younger brother. He played with me when I was young and cared for him when he grew up. When you grow up, you have someone to accompany you and you are never alone, brother.Now that I have a girlfriend, I joked that he would forget about me as a sister and mother, but I actually knew that he would not. The blood of siblings will always be thicker than water, so I decided to try to have two children in the future, and finally A good boy and a good girl is a good word, and children who grow up in such an environment will be more tolerant. I really hope that I can have a child like a pair of brothers like Al and Ed in the future
Finally, I heard that such a novel was written by a Chinese. I didn¡¯t expect that there are already such powerful novelists among Chinese people. And I heard that he is still very young, but his future life is really formidable! Such a young novelist has been able to enter Japan. I really don¡¯t know how big the development will be in the future. Maybe such a novel will be adapted into a live-action movie in the future? Who knows, but I am really happy that Chinese people can write such good novels. After all, we are compatriots! "
Seeing such praise among compatriots, Wen Xun felt quite moved. He couldn't help but think about China. Should an animation and manga like Fullmetal Alchemist be released in China? Originally, according to Wen Xun's thoughts, he didn't really want to release it domestically. Because everyone knows that the domestic piracy problem is really serious. We really can¡¯t make much money if we release the genuine version! Sell ??it cheaper. Cheaper is no better than piracy. Sell it more expensive. It can only make consumers bleed as much as possible. In fact, Wen Xun doesn't really want to do such a thing because he feels like he is a profiteer. Same. And besides, cartoons in such a form really don¡¯t fetch much in China!
The cost of animation here is about 60,000 yuan per minute. If we sell it in China at this price, can we get the price of 10,000 yuan per minute? impossible! For example, if a cartoon produced by the domestic American Film Studio can sell 600 yuan per episode, it would be great! Under such a situation, even if all the cartoons are finished and sold to domestic TV stations, the sales will be appalling! Even if more than 30 provincial TV stations have sold it, let¡¯s consider it as a relatively high figure like 1,000 per episode. 60 episodes are only 60,000, and 30 stations are only 1.8 million, which is enough for Wenxun and the others to make one episode. the cost of! So is this still necessary? Moreover, such an animation was commissioned by Kadokawa Shoten, and the adaptation copyright was sold by Wen Xun. The copyright for the final animation is not in his hands! So in the end, Kadokawa Bookstore got the money. Are people willing to go to such lengths to export cartoons to China for such 1.8 million yuan?
We can only try our best to talk about it. Wen Xun doesn't want to have too much hope, so he can only do a little bit. We don¡¯t point out how much benefit such a thing will bring to us, just like making a contribution to the people of the whole country. Let the people all over the country see how the cartoons we turned into from Wen Xun¡¯s novels are like, and let the young and old men in the country see how good the things we Wen Xun have made are like! Let the girls in China also see that Wen Xun is also a great talent Hehe!
Seeing that things were settled here, Wen Xun did not rush back to China, but continued to stay and play in Japan for a while, and by the way, he also paid attention to the reputation of such a work of his in Japan. After the cartoon was broadcast, the ratings further increased. By the fourth episode, the ratings had reached 12%! At first glance, it can be compared to a monster movie like "One Piece". Then by the fifth episode, the ratings of "Fullmetal Alchemist" had successfully caught up with "One Piece"! One Piece's ratings that day were 13.8%, while "Fullmetal Alchemist" had already reached 13.5%! This is a difference of 0.3 percentage points!
With such a ratings of 13.5%, it can basically be said to be one of the most popular animations of the year! You must know that in a country like Japan with relatively diversified entertainment methods, the ratings are really low! For example, "One Piece" can be said to be a national show in Japan. It can be said that eight out of ten people on the street can talk about "One Piece". As a result, the ratings of such an animation are only less than 14%. After all, There are also many people who read it through comics, and many people watch reruns and the like. If a film like Wen Xun's "Fullmetal Alchemist" can reach such a number in a short period of time, it can be said to be a huge hit! It can be said that after walking on the street, 7 or even 8 people can chat about such an animation or comic! Such a result is really unexpected at Kadokawa Bookstore!
