Chapter 541 Mars Hits Earth
Just when all the contestants of "The Brainiest" in the International Expo Center were introduced and started to eliminate the game, the controversy about Zhang Chuxin's comic "Those Things That Rabbit That Year" on the Internet has entered a white-hot stage!
When it was on Earth, this comic actually took a long time to become popular. The comic was serialized on the Internet in 2011, and then it was loved by netizens for its many memes and content. It was finally adapted into an animation. The single episode has a playback volume of nearly 50 million, and the results are very impressive.
In this life, the rabbit was born directly on Zhang Chu's Weibo. Zhang Chu's Weibo has more than 10 million fans, most of whom are active, and various media and self-media, and public accounts are also following him at all times.
Simply put, the current "Things of That Rabbit That Year" is a little prince born with a golden key in his hand, which has attracted everyone's attention.
It was originally just a compliment from fans, but it was originally just a variety of speculations from readers, and now it is gradually spreading to professionals and ordinary people.
Obviously not everyone likes this style of painting. There are even many people who think that this phenomenon-level work is completely out of standard!
People who like them can't do it well, and people who hate them want to block them all. Now people who claim to be my rabbit can be seen everywhere on the Internet. Perhaps it may be too frequent and it will cause others to be disgusted.
Unexpectedly, the first person who jumped out to sing the opposite tune was actually the man in the comics industry!
Maybe it was Zhang Chu who crossed the border to influence them, maybe it was because the style of "Those Things That Rabbit That Year" was indeed bad, maybe it was because the attention of this comic exceeded all other Chinese comic works. In short, these painters were quite unwilling to accept it.
"The simple drawing method and jumping narrative structure look like a work of essays and graffiti, but it has received so much attention. It can only be said that Zhang Chu is very popular. If he changes to a painter with a low personality, he will be sprayed out of shape long ago, and no one even wants to read it."
"I don't know why it became popular. I think this kind of animation talks about national propaganda is strange, it's just a ride on the popularity. This kind of behavior is the most shameful in the comic circle!"
"To be honest, my expectations for Zhang Chu are quite high, but I didn't expect to hand over such an answer. The cute style of painting seems to be made by someone who just learned comics for a while."
"If you don't have a diamond, don't take care of porcelain work. It's better to do what you can."
"I feel that the aesthetic level of netizens in our country needs to be improved. If others see that our comic with the highest clicks is at this level, I am afraid that foreign peers and netizens will faint from laughing."
Some of this group of people directly named and some were insincere. The comics they worked hard to make could not reach this amount of attention, and they were too envious and jealous.
However, some people started from the content, believing that Zhang Chu was misleading his children! Apart from the rough criticism of the painters above, the story is messy and the plot is very jumping. Most of the historical materials selected are red events, while many events in the gray area are not mentioned, such as the Great Leap Forward or even further the rest of the time.
"History is history, and there is no way to make jokes. This is too pediatric, and it is so simple to think about things between countries."
"This comic is actually not objective at all, and it is easy for young people and students to misunderstand other countries. They have a little embellishment of rabbits and have uglied characters such as Bald Eagle and John Bull. This balance has not been balanced from the beginning!"
"This work vaguely shows the admiration of power politics and utilitarian diplomacy, and this value is too narrow."
"From the previous two chapters, this seems to be commending the Rabbit's National Anthem. Zhang Chu, are you going to be a slave to others?"
"Modern history is the most glorious rabbit. The positive content is simply self-deception. Why do rabbits cheat others as black-hearted, and others cheat rabbits as bad guys? History must be objective, and subjectivity will affect readers' judgments."
"I feel sad for many netizens. China's history has a long history. What history should I learn through comics?"
The opposing people directly argued with the people they liked and launched a fierce debate on the Internet, as if Mars hit the Earth!
Almost every forum can see these two groups of people arguing constantly. The questions and answers on Zhihu are about to be slaughtered, and no one can convince anyone.
...
"Who did Zhang Chuan quarreled with some comics? He was chased and scolded by so many people. It was obviously just a joke, and he had to exaggerate it and say it was official history. At most, this was an allusion to reality."
Zhou Kang sat in the office and complained to Ye Shumei. Now their official accounts dare not speak out at all, for fear of adding fuel to the fire and making the debate even sharper.
Ye Shumei shook her head and said, "It's mainly because Zhang Chu is so popular now and there are too many people who don't like him. Now it's just gradually jumping out. Actually, I think this kind of funny plot is very interesting, and the plot is more exquisite."
"Yes, painting is not originally good at Zhang Chu, so what's the point of criticizing this? They are not here to make a living."
"It's indeed a bit unfair, but it is undeniable that these controversies will let more people know about the rabbit. A friend told me before that because it has metaphorized and extended modifications to many historical details, she often finds the story interesting, but she doesn't understand what it refers to. In order to understand the content, she searches the Internet for information and reads history books."
Zhou Kang looked at Ye Shumei sitting on the chair at this time, and asked: "In the past two days, many friends asked me about the serialization of the magazine "Those Things That Rabbit That Year", and they welcomed it."
"If you can serialize the magazine, it should be a good thing, but you have to discuss with Zhang Chu to see if he can accept the weekly serialization request."
"Now he should be at the show recording site, I'll ask in the evening."
In the past, many people thought comics were very naive, but "Things of the Rabbit That Year" not only attracted young people who love to watch anime. Many people over thirty or forty have become their fans. This kind of incorporating history into comics is very touching.
That year refers to the outbreak of the Opium War in 1840, and the century-long ups and downs of modern Chinese history began.
The rabbit does not refer to Tusky, nor is it a rogue rabbit, but a very ordinary little white rabbit, just a little black-bellied. This is not only the embodiment of the country, but also the reflection of every citizen.
