Tibetan Rock Dog Rocks on 09:48, April 22, 2009
Tibetan Rock Dog rocks on 09:48, April 22, 2009 With all 100,000 first-edition-copies sold out almost instantly after it hit the market, Tibetan Rock Dog, a comic book written by rock star Zheng Jun, has successfully emerged as one of the most popular cartoons in China while simultaneously getting attention abroad. "A series of related merchandise, such as dolls and movie, will also be produced-a commercial mode Chinese cartoon industry has never adopted before," says Ju Lang, the general manager of Denghuo Culture, a studio taking charge of the whole business involving Tibetan Rock Dog. According to the author, only two weeks after its publication, several foreigners from Western cartoon companies called him to discuss proposals for shooting films based on this comic book. "It really came as a pleasant surprise to me," says Zheng. The cover of Tibetan Rock Dog, a comic book written by rock star Zheng Jun. (File Photo) "I'm really glad that my book is welcomed by so many people and now we are trying our best to develop a few merchandise around this," says Zheng, adding that editions in English, Japanese and French will be launched soon after. However, for most Chinese cartoonists, such opportunities are hard to come by. With the huge domestic market almost divided up by foreign cartoons, especially those from Japan, they have to struggle to create demand for their own local cartoons. Promoting them in foreign markets is even tougher. Zheng Jun, famous Chinese rock star and cartoonist. (Photo: Global Times) "The Achilles' heel is we don't have good stories although there are a large number of talented painters and cartoonists here," says Wang Wei, an independent researcher on cartoons.
