The King of the World, by Yasuhisa Hara, was serialized in the magazine Youth Leap of Jiyingshe in 2006.
"Fire Phoenix Start a prairie fire", by Lin Haifeng, a Hong Kong native, was serialized in Taiwan Province New Youth Express 200 1.
Both cartoons are masterpieces of historical themes and have been serialized to this day. In fact, everyone has their own comic standards. It is unfair to compare the two cartoons.
Riman emphasizes storytelling and expresses a story through comics, while Hong Kong Man's definition of comics is more inclined to animation, which can be understood as "static animation" with less investment. The story doesn't impress people, but it also forms the so-called Hong Kong man style. However, if the two are compared, Hong Kong men are short boards.
The same is true of "Fire Phoenix Start a prairie fire". Generally speaking, there is no inheritance in Hong Kong, and everyone is in a state of fragmentation. The accumulated experience is also difficult to learn from and evolve, and many commercial traces are often left in commercial works.
Another feature of Zhong Man is that it often uses games. When fighting games became popular in 1990s, Street Fighter and king of fighters, written by Hong Kong writer Xu, were good examples. The full name of the fire phoenix prairie fire is actually the fire phoenix prairie fire.
1998, the game "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms" became a hit, and almost all Internet cafes in China have this game. And 200 1 launched a fire phoenix to start a prairie fire, which is not unrelated to the mass base laid by this game.
Today, for some comic book lovers, "Fire Phoenix Start a prairie fire" is really difficult to read. Its curiosity is out of date (maybe it is the so-called brain opening and Machamp's confusion), and there are too many nonsense plots, which make many fans of the Three Kingdoms very disgusted.
Moreover, "Fire Phoenix" is just an adaptation of a classic IP, which uses the free IP of the three countries, which is also a double-edged sword. The mass base in the three countries is deep, and there is no need to conceive the story. Everything exists and only needs to be adapted.
Although King of the World is also framed with the Warring States as the background, most of the stories and plots are created according to history. Compared with Fire Phoenix, we should pay more attention to historical works and be more rigorous and full. There is a nature of natural evolution in human genes, and we will have some biased choices for true, true history and true stories.
As mentioned above, Riman has a strong inheritance, and the master often takes his apprentices through the profession of assistant. Yasuhisa Hara's teacher is Takehiko Inoue, the author of Slam Dunk.
In 2005, Yasuhisa Hara served as Inoue's assistant, which was the peak of his creation. Therefore, Inoue exerts a subtle influence on Yasuhisa Hara, which is immeasurable for the successful creation of King of the World.
Yasuhisa Hara's respect for life is not to prove that he is not a good general or cold-blooded, but because he is responsible for the subconscious influence of a work about history and war on body and mind. Especially juvenile cartoons, should be positive.
The connotation and core of King of the World is very profound, which is beyond the reach of Fire Phoenix and Start a prairie fire.
In the cartoon King of the World, if the reader brings himself into the perspective of any role, he is the protagonist, in other words, each role has its own value.
Yasuhisa Hara has a strong storytelling ability. People who have read history may not read so deeply, but only know a little about the results and nodes of history. For example, the Qin Dynasty destroyed six countries and raped hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Changping. If we go deeper, we will know that Lv Buwei invested in Ying Zheng's father, and of course there are legends that Ying Zheng is Lv Buwei's son.
In The King's World, many details are thoroughly interpreted after the author's own understanding, which is particularly interesting.
The entanglement between Qin and Zhao is the most intriguing.
When the battle of Changping took place, there were two kinds of voices in Zhao, one was the main battle and the other was the main battle. The attitude of war and peace of the upper class is directly reflected in the front-line generals. Lian Po's attitude is ambiguous. Although he held the defense line, he didn't take the offensive at all. However, at this time, the main battle side was dominant, and Zhao Wang's attitude was also inclined to the main battle, so he changed the main battle generals to express his determination to fight against Qin.
As we all know, the final result was that Zhao was defeated and 400,000 people were killed in the pit. Many people don't understand why Leitian killed these 400,000 people.
From the general's point of view, he can only do this, because his food is almost used up, and Qin has exhausted its national strength in this battle. If 400,000 prisoners of war are released, these veterans who have struggled for three years will be a great threat to the future state of Qin.
In the battle of Changping, a young soldier was pushed into a deep pit and supported by his relatives, and finally survived. Later, he became Zhao's general, Wan Ji. This fictional character is full of hatred and anger towards Qin Yun.
Many people have the impression that Zhao was devastated after the battle of Changping, but this is not the case. The Central Plains was often ravaged by the northern nomadic tarquin. Zhao's infantry defeated the Xiongnu, and the valley battle that killed 65,438+Wan Tieqi took place after Changping.
The man who killed 65,438+million Xiongnu and restored Zhao's fighting power was Li Mu, the third day of Zhao in the cartoon, and in the pen, Li Mu led the five-nation allied forces to enter Hangu Pass in one fell swoop.
If you like history, King of the World is really a good work not to be missed.
