All in all, after Jiang Xue started drawing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in full accordance with the storyboards and outlines given by Xu Qingru, she has been completely fascinated by such a pioneering work of "new martial arts" with a brand-new setting Attracted.
At the same time, she can also vividly display the fighting scenes that she is best at painting in this martial arts work!
The battle scenes in "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" are still a bit too abstract and fantasy. Although Jiang Xue had a great time painting them, it has to be said that there are still a lot of Xu Qingru's personal items mixed in.
But this time, Xu Qingru really left all the details of the battle to Jiang Xue. Her detailed outline would only give the outcome of the battle and the direction of the plot.
Then they submitted this collaborative work to the most popular martial arts comic magazine in this parallel world, "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts".
The draft was very smooth. The reputations of Jiang Xue and Xu Qingru also played a huge role, especially Jiang Xue. She is a recognized genius in the comics industry. Her previous experience as the original animator of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" Added a dazzling touch.
Of course, the excellent quality of the work itself is the fundamental reason why it got the chance to be serialized.
The first person to appreciate the opening chapter of this work was Xing Feng, the editor-in-chief of the "Ancient Martial Arts" category of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts".
That's right, in addition to "ancient martial arts", there are also "modern martial arts" and even "sci-fi martial arts" among the martial arts-themed comics in this world. Those who practice martial arts and travel through space can be compared to the earthly world. Works in the category "Ancient Martial Armor".
Xing Feng really didn't notice at first that "Legend of the Condor Heroes" was written by Xu Qingru and drawn by Jiang Xue. He just reviewed it as an ordinary martial arts comic. As a result, he fell into it during this review!
The main content of the opening chapter of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is——
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the family of Zhongliang Empress Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin, who lived in seclusion in Niujia Village outside Lin'an, suffered a disaster and were killed by the Southern Song Dynasty officials who colluded with the Jin Dynasty Prince Wanyan Honglie. The pregnant Mrs. Guo Li Ping and Mrs. Yang Bao Xi Weak and both are missing.
When the bad news came, Guo and Yang's friend Quanzhen Taoist priest Qiu Chuji was furious and hunted down the murderers of Guo and Yang. He missed his lost friends and family members, and ran around Lin'an to inquire about them, but to no avail. Then he was deceived by the traitor Duan Tiande and had a conflict with the Seven Jiangnan Monsters in Jiaxing, causing both sides to suffer losses.
Qiu Chuji and the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan discovered the plot of the traitors and agreed to make peace with each other, but there was no winner in the duel. Qiu Chuji met with the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan to search for someone together, and he went to rescue Yang Tiexin's wife Bao Xiruo, while the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan went to rescue Guo Xiaotian's wife Li Ping, and each raised the children of the two families. After eighteen years, they reunited in Jiaxing, and Guo Yang's descendants competed on their behalf to determine the outcome. Bo Yuntian, the seven weirdos from Jiangnan, readily agreed.
After her husband was killed, Guo's wife Li Ping was first kidnapped by Duan Tiande, an officer of the Southern Song Dynasty, and then captured by Jin soldiers. She drifted all the way to the Mongolian desert. After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a son. Li Ping named the child Guo Jing according to her husband's last words. Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Guo Jing is already six years old. This year, he was appreciated by Mongolian Khan Temujin for risking his life to protect the grassland hero Zhebie, and was taken back to the military camp by Temujin.
The Seven Monsters of Jiangnan also searched for Li Ping and her son in Mongolia, and finally found Guo Jing by chance. After six years of hard work, they were rewarded in one day. The Seven Monsters were overjoyed, and they immediately enlightened Guo Jing and began to teach various martial arts. .
Ten years later, Guo Jing has grown into a stout young man. Although he has a dull talent, due to the strict supervision of the Six Monsters and his own hard work, he was later taught Taoist internal skills and martial arts by Ma Yu, the headmaster of the Quanzhen Sect. Already completed. In the past ten years, Temujin conquered east and west, finally unified the desert, and was revered as "Genghis Khan". Because of his considerable military exploits, Guo Jing was recruited by Genghis Khan as the "Golden Sword Consort".
As Xing Feng looked at it, he felt that this "ancient martial arts" comic was very impressive in its character creation!
Whether it is Guo and Yang at the beginning or Qiu Chuji at the end, the Seven Jiangnan Monsters are all vividly portrayed, not to mention the wonderful fight between Qiu Chuji and the Seven Jiangnan Monsters!
One of the most important aspects of martial arts comics is the fighting. Only comic authors who can draw exciting fighting scenes can truly establish themselves in the field of martial arts comics!
Jiang Xue, who is extremely talented, really fulfilled her talent this time!
Xing Feng saw the wonderful fight between the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan and the Black Wind Twin Evils, the "Bronze Corpse" Chen Xuanfeng, the "Iron Corpse" Mei Chaofeng, the Nine-Yin White Bone Claw, the Heart-Jinging Palm, the "Nine-Yin Manual"... He was simply amazed!
These extremely innovative settings, which appeared in martial arts comics for the first time, were an eye-opener for him!
In particular, Mei Chaofeng used a corpse to practice "Nine Yin White Bone Claws" and scratched five bloody holes on his head. This weird and cruel practice method made him dumbfounded!
The main thing is that the picture of this comic really has a sharp feeling like a movie special effects blockbuster, which makes him immersed in it!
He was completely shocked!
If Jin Yong's original work can convey 20% of the feelings to readers, then Xu Qingru and Jiang Xue fully express Jin Yong in comics, which can give readers several times more intuitive feelings!
Xing Feng finally noticed that this work was a collaboration between Xu Qingru and Jiang Xue, and he suddenly realized it.
It should be said that they are the talented creators who previously created the masterpiece "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" together. I didn't expect that they would actually create such a big job quietly!
Xing Feng decisively submitted "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which he was deeply attracted to, to the work serialization meeting.
Then at the meeting, the editors would only do a quick review of the many works to be discussed. As a result, all the editors present, when reviewing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", unanimously continued to watch it intently for a long time!
During this time, no one spoke!
Normally, after so much time has passed, the serialization meeting would have ended long ago, and the results of determining which works will be serialized and which works will be completed or cut in half should have been announced long ago. However, the emergence of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was completely delayed. The whole process!
This can only be said that the appeal of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is really too great!
In a sense, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Jin Yong's third work and also his famous work, is the leader among new martial arts works. It appears in this world where traditional and ancient martial arts are still the rule. Its charm is absolutely amazing!
If it were placed in this world, it would be a pioneering work!
The editor-in-chief who presided over this serialization meeting was named Ding Yixiang. When he saw the fierce battle between the Black Wind Shuangsha and the Seven Jiangnan Monsters in one breath, his breathing became rapid!
This fighting scene is so exciting. The characters in it seem to be separated from the comics and appear in the real world. In addition to the characters, there is also a background that fits the battle perfectly, allowing readers to completely enter the comic world. , as if watching a blockbuster movie up close!
This is the feeling of being there!
Ding Yixiang, the editor-in-chief, himself likes the mainstream martial arts works of the royal way. He always believes that the martial arts comics that can truly become gods are definitely the comics of the royal way, unlike those evil works that take an eccentric approach, which are often high-end. If you drive low and go low, your staying power is not good.
Everything about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is in line with his wishes, because it is a very orthodox royal work. Even the setting of the protagonist Guo Jing is very pleasing to his eyes, so he has nothing to do next. Doubts will give this work a "passed, serialized" view.
And after Xing Feng read all the contents of this opening manuscript, what he wanted to do most now was to urge the two talented creators for the manuscript. This innovative martial arts work is so exciting!
At the end of the manuscript, Hua Zheng, who seems to be the heroine, has appeared. This daughter of Genghis Khan, the pearl on the grassland, and Guo Jing are childhood sweethearts. They also have a very deep friendship with the protagonist Guo Jing, and Guo Jing has also become the "Golden Sword Prince Consort". ”, and I don’t know what the future development will be like?
I really want to see the follow-up soon!
During the serialization meeting, he couldn't help but look through the background of the entire comic, and he discovered that even if the story of this martial arts comic was set in the Southern Song Dynasty, the architectural style, the dressing of the characters, and the customs of the grasslands The sentiments of the people are actually completely consistent with historical facts. This is so detailed!
Just one word, exquisite!
No wonder after reading all the contents of this opening manuscript, he subconsciously felt that such a story really happened in the Southern Song Dynasty!
This profound ability to seamlessly embed martial arts into history is amazing!
You know, most of today's martial arts cartoonists like to directly make up a dynasty that does not exist. Even if they choose a certain dynasty in history, they will not let the protagonist have a relationship with a famous person. However, this cartoon directly makes Guo Jing To be associated with a figure like Genghis Khan is completely the first of its kind!
Not to mention, most martial arts cartoonists cannot match historical facts like this in terms of background research. For example, there is a martial arts cartoon set in the Spring and Autumn Period. Its name is "Spring and Autumn Journey with Sword", which is quite famous. Big, sales are also very good.
But although it is set in the Spring and Autumn Period, the clothes of the characters in it are clearly the ancient costume style of the Ming Dynasty. However, the readers are not too harsh and still enjoy reading it...
Many martial arts comic authors are like this. Even if they are drawing "ancient martial arts", they will not deliberately conduct research on it. After all, it is just an entertainment work for readers' entertainment, so why bother?
Xu Qingru is different. She has a "material world" to assist her. Since she can perfectly restore ancient details, why not show them in comics?
In this way, it naturally makes "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" even more outstanding!
At this time, at the serialization meeting, the editors had almost finished reviewing the manuscript. Editor-in-chief Ding Yixiang had a smile on his face. He directly asked everyone to express their opinions on this work.
As a result, all the editors said yes, and their opinions were "completely approved, and it will be serialized"!
The above is the whole process of "Legend of the Condor Heroes" being serialized in the most popular martial arts comic magazine "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts".
The magazine also invested a lot of promotional resources in this work, which they had high hopes for, and of course emphasized that it is another masterpiece by Xu Qingru and Jiang Xue after "Puella Magi Madoka Magica"!
But what’s interesting is that after the news of Xu Qingru and Jiang Xue collaborating on a royal martial arts comic came out, the public’s reaction was exactly the same as the previous collaboration between Teacher Mengguo and Teacher Xu on the hot-blooded boy comic.
After all, they had previously collaborated on a very evil and subversive work such as "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", so why did they turn around and paint the most popular martial arts themes on the market?
Isn't this a classic case of exploiting weaknesses and avoiding strengths?
Teacher Xunuo's fans, on the other hand, started to get angry again. They even thought Xu Qingru was a typical petty person!
Didn't they just explain the fact that Xu Qingru is not good at royal subjects at the beginning of "The Spirit of the Halberd Eater"?
Unexpectedly, after "The Spirit of the Halberd Eater" was serialized for nearly a month, Xu Qingru's new work was also released, and it turned out to be a mainstream royal theme!
This kind of operation, of course, makes Teacher Xunuo's fans feel that they are being targeted, and among these fans, there are many Xiaoheizi of Xu Qingru, who like to label her as an "Internet celebrity high school student".
These little guys haven't even seen the actual work of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but they only made various brainstorming based on its title and the general introduction of the promotion in the magazine. A quick blackout.
If there is a name that directly criticizes this work, it seems very cliché and boring. A name like "XX Heroes" is also too insincere. It must be a work used to deceive fans and make money!
There are even violent comments that directly refer to the gender of the creator: "Martial arts is a fairy tale for men! Female creators are really unworthy of this subject. Their works are often too small-scale, and martial arts themes will only be attracted by them." It was turned into a romantic work, and there is no sense of family and country at all, so I can be sure that this "Legend of the Condor Heroes" will definitely not portray a good hero!"
"One thing to say is that if you look at the popular martial arts comics that have been serialized for more than five years on the market, they are all male cartoonists. Xu Qingru, an internet celebrity high school student, hastily chosen the subject of martial arts. It is simply a mess. She turned into a magical girl This kind of children's theme is okay, but doing martial arts works is really too ignorant!"
"As a fan of Mr. Xu Nuo, I am not optimistic if Mr. Xu Nuo also challenges martial arts themes. However, the current food show "The Spirit of the Halberd" is very suitable for them. Xu Qingru will not think that she has forced If you go for a mainstream kingly theme, you can prove something, it will only be counterproductive and embarrassing!"
It was under such a chaotic situation that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was officially launched!
