The work "Legend of Chu Liuxiang" is not published in "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts" because the comics in this martial arts magazine are all in a style that is more traditional and royal, while "Legend of Chu Liuxiang" is more eccentric. the meaning of.
Its first episode was published in a magazine called "Jianghu", which is also an old martial arts comic magazine. It has always had a variety of styles, and of course its sales are not bad.
The magazine "Jiang Hu" is owned by a media company that was serialized with "Night" that Chen Mengguo originally serialized. Of course, this company values Teacher Mengguo very much. Now she wants to cooperate with Teacher Xu Nuo on a new martial arts comic, so the company's senior management is naturally very energetic. Supported, and then offered a very sincere price.
Li Yunfan, as a long-time fan of Teacher Xunuo, almost as soon as the first chapter of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was published in "Jianghu", he came to a newsstand without stopping and wanted to buy the magazine. He was obviously very eager to see this A new series!
He originally didn’t like martial arts comics. He almost never read martial arts comics before. Even the national-level comic "Spring and Autumn Journey with Sword" was a small taste of it because he felt that although the story was exciting and passionate, and the characters had distinct personalities, he just couldn't do it. Hit his sweet spot.
That's right, he always feels that other martial arts comics are too low-level, without that sense of elegance and elegance, without that faint flavor of martial arts. In fact, it's not that he doesn't like fighting and killing, but he doesn't like fighting and killing tragically. Killing, when the protagonist faces the boss, he must be beaten half to death before he can explode. Although it is hot-blooded enough, it is really not to Li Yunfan's taste.
He likes to see the protagonist taking people's lives at will while talking and laughing, he likes to see the protagonist always possessing wisdom, he likes to see the protagonist put on all sorts of pretense, and he likes to see those characters who put on too much pretense and be slapped to death by the protagonist!
In addition, he doesn't like kingly protagonists like "Guo Jing". These protagonists seem to be destined to become heroes as soon as they are born. Even practicing martial arts seems so step-by-step. If it weren't for the martial arts system of "The Condor", It made him want to stop, confusing the real with the fake to the point where he thought that if there really were any "Eighteen Palms for Subduing the Dragon" or "Nine Yin Manual" in history, he would never be able to hold on.
After all, as a fan of Teacher Xu Nuo, Li Yunfan felt from the bottom of his heart that Xu Nuo's works would never disappoint him. Her experience as an aunt is better than Xu Qingru's niece, right?
That's right, Li Yunfan has believed the rumor on the Internet anyway, that is, Teacher Xu Nuo and Xu Qingru are aunt-nephew...
He is not the kind of fan who insists on choosing which one he likes more among the two creators. He has been exposed to their works, but maybe because Xu Qingru is still too young, he always feels that he does not have enough experience.
But Teacher Xu is different. His works will be more in-depth and connotative. This is his subjective idea.
But Li Yunfan also has to admit that "The Condor", a collaboration between Xu Qingru and Jiang Xue, is indeed too popular!
Moreover, since "The Condor" became popular, the martial arts system it constructed has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many works that follow the trend have quickly emerged. It seems that overnight, the knights in martial arts comics do not practice internal skills. , If you don’t do Qinggong, fly over eaves and walk over walls, you can’t be considered a knight.
Masters who have developed profound internal skills are the real masters. This setting is also recognized by the public. Both authors and readers find this new style of martial arts more interesting. The original martial arts comics felt too rigid.
This is probably similar to the Earth world. After the "Mortal Cultivation of Immortality" came out, many immortal heroes began to learn from systems such as "qi training - foundation building - golden elixir - Nascent Soul" and "spiritual root". This is The influence of genre-opening works.
The emergence of "The Condor" pushed martial arts comics to a new height and created a prosperous era of martial arts comics, because many works that chose to follow the trend of "The Condor" have achieved good results in other martial arts comics magazines, because After watching "The Condor", many readers who feel that there is still more to enjoy will also choose to read works of a similar style.
Even the national-level martial arts comic "Spring and Autumn Journey with Sword" has begun to give the protagonist a new golden finger, which is of course the "internal strength and mental skills" obtained by Qi Yu. The creator of this comic is also a top master, and his control power is very strong , he was able to completely and seamlessly add a new martial arts system to "Spring and Autumn Journey with Sword", which was roughly borrowed from "The Condor Shooting", but also had his own innovations. This also made "Spring and Autumn Journey with Sword" surge in popularity again. Readers are hooked!
In short, "Spring and Autumn Journey with Sword" and "Shooting the Condor" competed with each other, and their readership also had a huge overlap. Many readers loved to read this kind of royal works.
However, when the author released a new volume of "The Spring and Autumn Journey with a Sword", he publicly expressed his gratitude to Xu Qingru in his "Author has something to say" column, believing that the other party brought him new creative ideas and inspiration. I was also watching "The Condor" at that time.
There is no doubt that the current "The Condor" is the pioneer of a new martial arts trend. Even the national comic "Spring and Autumn Journey" has borrowed its martial arts system. Its popularity is so terrifying that it is truly astonishing. .
Under such a situation, Li Yunfan felt that the new serial "Legend of Chu Liuxiang" co-produced by Teachers Xu Nuo and Meng Guo, taking advantage of the popularity of martial arts, would definitely not reach the heights of "The Condor"...
But now that he bought "Jiang Hu" and couldn't wait to read the serialized part of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", he was immediately attracted by this wonderful beginning and the character of the protagonist Chu Liuxiang!
He just felt extremely excited, and he had great confidence in "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang"!
If "The Condor" is a great innovation in the martial arts system and makes people want to stop, then "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" seamlessly integrates the style of suspense detective comics into martial arts comics, opening up the genre of martial arts detective comics!
As expected, Teacher Xu Nuo has such a big idea that he directly opened up a new school!
And the character design of the protagonist Chu Liuxiang is really in line with his taste!
I have mentioned before that he does not like the traditional kingly protagonist like "Guo Jing". If he has to slowly level up and grow up, he will be frustrated in the process and there will be counterattacks later. He always feels that it is too routine.
As for Chu Liuxiang, an unconventional protagonist, he is almost invincible from the beginning. He pretends to be awesome and does one thing after another. This is the first time for him to encounter such a completely unconventional martial arts work!
