It has to be said that "Legends of Modern Times. Martial Arts" is the highest-selling martial arts comic magazine in the industry. Every move it makes is watched. Among them are cartoonists who aim to be serialized in "Legends of Modern Times. Martial Arts". , there are also other martial arts comics magazines, such as "Jianghu" and "Martial Arts" which are behind it in sales volume.
Shopping malls are like battlefields. Ding Yixiang, the editor-in-chief of "Legends of Modern Times and Martial Arts", was transferred without any warning, which already made people feel unusual. After all, when Ding Yixiang was in office, he discovered the talented creators Xu Qingru and Jiang Xue, making " "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times: Martial Arts" has become even more brilliant, and its sales volume has completely surpassed that of "Jianghu" and "Martial Arts", which can be said to be the best in the world.
If it weren't for the martial arts cartoonists in "Jiang Hu" and "Martial Arts" who decisively followed Xu Qingru's footsteps and innovated the martial arts system in their works, then it is estimated that these two martial arts comics magazines, which ranked second and third in sales, would have been eliminated by the market. abandon.
Of course, "Jianghu" magazine is relatively more stable because it has the same extremely talented teachers Xu Nuo and Meng Guo.
This can only be said that Xu Qingru came out of nowhere and the new martial arts system she constructed was so classic that many martial arts cartoonists could only be limited to her framework!
Some far-sighted martial arts cartoonists have already felt deeply worried. If Xu Qingru draws all the martial arts themes, won't this theme be completely destroyed?
In the earth world, after Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Huang Yi, martial arts gradually withered. There may be some talented authors who wrote the so-called "classics of the post-Jin Yong era", and there are also words such as "Jin Yong sealed the pen and Gu Long passed away, and there are only heroes in the world." However, this cannot cover up the fact that the martial arts genre is gradually declining. In the increasingly popular online literature, most of the martial arts works that have become popular are fan works and original martial arts works by famous artists such as Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Huang Yi. There are simply too few.
In this parallel world, the emergence of Xu Qingru has pushed the martial arts genre to its peak. Many media call it the "Golden Age of Martial Arts". However, after the peak, it will inevitably flourish and decline.
Even the royal theme "Fantasy Fairy" that succeeded martial arts has experienced some decline in the earth world after experiencing glory, because even if a great writer rashly tries this subject, there is a possibility of failure, let alone a new author. , this theme has been called the "grave of newcomers". In this way, if no newcomer authors add to it over time, it will also follow the footsteps of the martial arts genre.
It was inevitable that Ding Yixiang, the former editor-in-chief of "Legends of Ancient Times and Martial Arts", would be promoted because his achievements were indeed amazing. However, the speed of his promotion was too fast and did not conform to the general rules of promotion.
Originally, colleagues in the industry did not deliberately dig out the inside story, but by chance, when they saw the treatment of Xu Qingru's new serial "Swordsman" in "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts", they immediately found it very intriguing...
Zhao Yuan is the editor-in-chief of "Jiang Hu", the second largest martial arts comic magazine in the industry. He has a very good vision. He discovered the pairing of Teacher Xu Nuo and Teacher Meng Guo, which is his proud work.
He thought it was a good thing that "Jiang Hu" had Teacher Xu. The previous "Legend of Chu Liuxiang", which was an eccentric film, pioneered the genre of martial arts detective suspense. Although its overall popularity is still inferior to Xu Qingru's "The Condor" series, he is already satisfied.
He is not an insider of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts", so he can naturally tell from the outside. He believes that Xu Qingru's martial arts works are completely ahead of this era. Even senior fans of martial arts comics who have read her works After that, most of the works of other martial arts cartoonists will feel boring!
Not to mention those new readers who are reading martial arts comics for the first time. After reading Xu Qingru’s works, it will be difficult for them to become interested in other martial arts comics, unless you can follow the trend very well and restore the flavor of Xu Qingru’s martial arts. .
Therefore, Zhao Yuan was very aware of Xu Qingru's important role in "Legends of Modern Times. Martial Arts". When he found out that "Legends of Modern Times. Martial Arts" had made a fool of itself and targeted Xu Qingru, he suddenly felt that "Legends of Modern Times. Martial Arts" was doing it. Die and destroy the Great Wall!
Even for ordinary senior cartoonists, when they start a new series, the magazine will promote it, and the front page is a must. Potential newcomers will also vigorously promote it. However, top creators like Xu Qingru have done so. It’s really ridiculous to be treated like a new cartoonist who is not taken seriously at all!
Zhao Yuan only felt that the opportunity had come. He used his connections in the industry to quickly find out some of the inside stories behind it. Although there was no deeper information, after all, he had been in the workplace for so long, so naturally he suddenly It is speculated that this is related to the internal struggle of "Legend of Modern and Ancient Martial Arts"...
If it is a factional fight, then it is too common to sometimes attack the opponent's forces without any thought or mind, and regardless of the negative effects that internal friction will have.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Yuan took action decisively. On the one hand, he asked people to break the news on a martial arts forum that "Legend of Modern and Ancient Martial Arts" was suppressing Xu Qingru, a top martial arts master. On the other hand, he began to actively contact Xu Qingru!
If Xu Qingru can come to "Jianghu", then it may be able to counterattack the throne. With Xu Qingru and Teacher Xu, then "Jianghu" will definitely take off!
Not only "Jiang Hu", but also "Martial Arts", which is the third best-selling movie in the industry, is now in a relatively embarrassing state. Why wouldn't you want Xu Qingru?
It can even be said that "Martial Arts" is now entirely supported by those former pillar-level martial arts masters, and these people are those who know how to be flexible, absorbing the essence of Xu Qingru's martial arts, and then adding their own things. Only in this way can we continue to be accepted by martial arts fans who have already developed their appetites. Otherwise, they will sadly transform and never touch the deceptive subject matter of martial arts again.
Therefore, after the forum just broke the news that Xu Qingru was suppressed by "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts", the editor of "Martial Arts" magazine who was diving in this section had already got the news, and he reported it directly without caring whether the news was true or false.
When Zhou Yanghua, the editor-in-chief of "Martial Arts", got this groundless gossip, he didn't take it lightly at all. He dismissed it as nonsense or something like that. Instead, he took it very seriously!
First of all, he quickly read the latest issue of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts". After discovering that Xu Qingru's treatment was indeed not as good as before, he almost made a lawsuit. In short, the opportunity has come!
Like Zhao Yuan, the editor-in-chief of "Jianghu", Zhou Yanghua certainly knows Xu Qingru's status in the field of today's martial arts comics. He can be said to be a genius who revolutionized the entire martial arts genre, created a new genre, and supported countless authors who followed her work. …
It is not an exaggeration to treat such an author, no matter which magazine, how much he should provide. Now that the "Legends of Modern and Ancient Martial Arts" magazine has changed its editor-in-chief, he actually treats Xu Qingru like this. He doesn't know what words to use to describe it. "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times: Martial Arts" is so stupid!
Originally, Zhou Yanghua had given up the idea of catching up with "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts", but now, he felt that as long as Xu Qingru could be poached, it would be possible for "Martial Arts" to catch up over time!
Zhou Yanghua immediately used his contacts in the industry to finally investigate the internal affairs of the "Legends of Modern and Ancient Martial Arts" magazine. He did not expect that this would also involve senior figures in the publishing group, which undoubtedly made him feel sad. Of course, things like internal fighting happen everywhere, but if you shake the foundation, it is definitely unwise behavior!
As for Liu Liqun, the new editor-in-chief of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Martial Arts", he has also heard of his name and he is a person with strong working ability. However, this time Liu Liqun ignored Xu Qingru and suppressed him. This made Zhou Yanghua deeply doubt that Liu Liqun could He is not qualified for the position of editor-in-chief of the magazine "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts".
If he, Zhou Yanghua, were to be the editor-in-chief, of course the first person to win over would be a super genius like Xu Qingru...
But Zhou Yanghua naturally didn't know that behind Liu Liqun there was a high-level figure named Hong Bo. He was a layman with no in-depth understanding of martial arts comics, but he was young and energetic. After being blinded by the immediate interests, he did such a stupid thing. decision.
Of course, Hong Bo does not think that he is mentally retarded. He feels that after his integration of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts", it can bring greater benefits to him, and then he will show his achievements to those elders and big shots. After that, his status will become even higher!
In addition to "Jiang Hu" and "Martial Arts", other martial arts comics magazines are also taking notice of the news, and the smoke of a battle for Xu Qingru has completely filled the air!
