And just when the first serialization of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" was about to be published in "Aiyou Comics", "Legends of Ancient Times and Martial Arts" made a bigger news, which completely overshadowed "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword". !
Obviously, this is the countermeasure of "Legends of Ancient Times and Martial Arts". "Aiyou Comics" relied on "Eternal Dragon Sword", the last part of the Condor Shooting Series, to try to become a god upon the first publication, which made this old magazine extremely popular. accurate!
Editor-in-chief Liu Liqun, who had been brewing for a long time, and Hong Bo behind him, finally made a desperate move!
They resorted to their last resort!
This is definitely a huge news that shakes the entire comic industry, especially the field of martial arts comics!
Ren Yusheng, the first pillar of the second largest martial arts comic magazine "Jiang Hu", has completed his long-running martial arts comic "Blood Sword Madness" that has been serialized for nearly seven years. His new work will be released on "Legends of Modern and Ancient Martial Arts"!
Teacher Ren Yusheng's "The Bloody Knife Madness" is a very popular long-form martial arts comic from the same era as Teacher Wu Qiubai's "The Spring and Autumn Journey with the Sword". Although its single volume sales are not as good as "The Spring and Autumn Journey with the Sword", it is definitely the highest. The sales volume is amazing, it has also been adapted into various versions of TV series and movies, and the animation ratings are also not bad...
The most important thing is that Ren Yusheng's status in "Jianghu" magazine is equivalent to Wu Qiubai's status in "Legends of Modern and Ancient Martial Arts". Who could have imagined that teacher Ren Yusheng would jump from "Jianghu" to "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times". "Martial Arts"?
Feng Xiuran, the editor-in-chief of "Jianghu", chose to resign without hesitation after Ren Yusheng changed his job. He did not accept interviews from any industry insiders because he knew that "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts" was annexing "Jianghu". In order to maintain its number one position in the industry, it wants to directly crush "Aiyu Comics" to death!
As the editor-in-chief of "Jiang Hu", Feng Xiuran was unable to resist this. The capital power behind "Jiang Hu" could only be regarded as a medium-sized publishing group, which was not comparable to the capital power behind "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts". .
"Haha, even if "Legend of Modern Times. Martial Arts" gets Ren Yusheng, so what? I want to see if it can suppress "Aiyou Comics"..." Feng Xiuran thought with deep resentment after leaving his job.
After all, "Jianghu" is also the second largest martial arts comic magazine in the industry. He has been the editor-in-chief for five years and has long been deeply attached to this magazine. Now he has to choose to leave. How can he not hate this? "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts"?
Feng Xiuran is of course full of confidence in Xu Qingru. With the support of two super-popular comics, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer", which has the same world view as the previous two works, will definitely usher in a new era. A sudden explosion of popularity!
In a sense, the "The Condor" trilogy, in Feng Xiuran's view, is a long-form work similar to "Spring and Autumn Journey", except that the protagonist of the former has been changed, while the protagonist of "Shadow" has not. It's just a replacement. Now "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" can undoubtedly inherit the massive popularity accumulated by the previous two parts. If it is also released in "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts", it will definitely be able to suppress Wu Qiubai's "Spring and Autumn Journey" by Wu Qiubai. !
But what Feng Xiuran didn't expect was that after Teacher Ren Yusheng, the first star of "Jiang Hu", changed his job, Teacher Liang Kunlun, the first star of the third largest martial arts comic magazine "Martial Arts", was also poached from "Legend of Modern and Ancient Times". "Martial Arts"!
Teacher Liang Kunlun's qualifications can be said to be more advanced than that of Teacher Wu Qiubai. He himself has three long-form martial arts comics that he has drawn for more than five years. He is a well-deserved martial arts master in the field of martial arts comics!
Xu Qingru, Wu Qiubai, Ren Yusheng, and Liang Kunlun were all selected by martial arts fans as the "Five Wonders of the Central Plains" in the field of martial arts comics. Of course, some jealous cartoonists nicknamed them the "Five Whites of the Central Plains" because among these people It seems that the royal martial arts comics of these four cartoonists are migrant comics. When put on the Internet, they are "little white comics", specially for little white readers who have just started reading comics...
These four top cartoonists in the field of martial arts are all undisputedly selected as the "Five Wonders of the Central Plains". Of course, some people still think that Ren Yusheng and Liang Kunlun have passed their time, especially after Xu Qingru came out, and their long novels The popularity of martial arts works has been on a straight-line decline. It is actually very wise for them to choose to finish the work and start a new work in "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts".
There is another "Five Supremes of the Central Plains" who is even more controversial. First of all, she is female. Secondly, she graduated from the Chinese Department of Capital University. Now she has received a PhD from the Chinese Department of Capital University. She is also a famous martial arts writer. She has won numerous awards in the popular literature world, and the comic book adaptations of her martial arts stories have never failed! The sales volume of the single volume has completely reached the standards of the Supreme God!
Her selection into the "Five Wonders of the Central Plains" is very controversial, not because her works are not good, but because many comic fans do not recognize her as a cartoonist! She doesn't know how to draw at all and only acts as the original author.
Although Xu Qingru also served as the screenwriter of the original work, she still participated in the creation of some famous scenes in the comic. She was also personally responsible for the character drawing, which naturally won the recognition of comic fans.
Now, this talented woman who graduated from the Chinese Department of Capital University has also been invited by "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts" to serve as the original author of a new martial arts comic. The person who writes and draws for it is the artist who is at the peak of his skills and style. Teacher Hu Hong!
This super talented woman who was famous in China in the past, her name is Ruan Mengqiu.
How could the entire comics industry not be shocked by these blockbuster news after another?
"Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts" is really going to be a big game!
Feng Xiuran, the former editor-in-chief of "Jianghu", of course had full confidence in Xu Qingru before, and felt that even if Ren Yusheng went to "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts", it would not change the overall situation.
But when he saw that not only Ren Yusheng, the first star of "Jiang Hu", but also Liang Kunlun, the star of "Martial Arts", a martial arts cartoonist with excellent qualifications and achievements, was also poached from "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts" At this time, his confidence was undoubtedly shaken.
Because he believes that the new works of Ren Yusheng and Liang Kunlun will definitely not be like their previous long-form old-school martial arts works, which are full of ordinary kung fu. They will definitely absorb the works of Xu Qingru, the pioneer of the new-school martial arts genre. What is outstanding is that they add more popular elements to their works, such as internal strength, light kung fu, etc., which have become standard features in martial arts comics, and then rely on their rich experience and talent in the field of martial arts comics to create in one fell swoop A more classic new martial arts work!
Who can underestimate these supreme gods who once stood at the top?
The Supreme God has a very keen grasp of commercial selling points. Just like in another world, Tudou, the Supreme God's work "Fights Break the Sphere", absorbed the "carrying in the ring" in "Coiling Dragon" The selling point of "Grandpa", and the promotion of the "break-off of engagement flow" in "Tomb of Gods", so that readers thought that the "break-off of engagement flow" was pioneered in "Fights Break the Sphere", but in fact it only carried forward the "break-off of engagement flow", There are countless followers...
In the same way, after all, Ren Yusheng and Liang Kunlun are the top cartoonists who can be selected into the "Five Wonders of the Central Plains". What is the sales volume of their single books? After absorbing Xu Qingru's martial arts system, they will definitely draw new martial arts comics that are comparable to them. do!
In fact, if Xu Qingru hadn't come out of nowhere, maybe they could have continued to draw old-school martial arts comics and maintain results slightly inferior to teacher Wu Qiubai.
It’s a pity that these two top martial arts cartoonists are obviously slow to absorb new elements. Their old works are not like Teacher Wu Qiubai’s "Spring and Autumn Journey", which can seamlessly integrate the settings and systems of the new martial arts. , if they continue to drag it out, they will only damage their own popularity.
Therefore, they took advantage of the situation and accepted the large price offered to them by "Legends of Modern and Ancient Martial Arts". This price was really irresistible.
Feng Xiuran knew that once Ren Yusheng and Liang Kunlun came to "Jin Gu Legend. Martial Arts", their huge readership would definitely shift their positions and support them by buying "Jin Gu Legend. Martial Arts". In this case, "Jin Gu Legend. Martial Arts" would "Legend. Martial Arts" will completely stabilize its position, and the newly launched "Aiyou Comics" will not threaten it at all!
"It seems that it is not so easy for "Aiyou Comics" to become a god after the first issue... Even I want to buy "Legends of Modern and Ancient Martial Arts", not because of Ren Yusheng or Liang Kunlun, but because of that Ruan Mengqiu, a talented girl from Capital University who is also a creator like Xu Qingru, her previous works were full of imagination. If Xu Qingru had not come out of nowhere, perhaps her highly imaginative fantasy martial arts works would have also It will become the trend of the future." Feng Xiuran thought.
From the perspective of his editor-in-chief, Feng Xiuran believes that Ruan Mengqiu, a famous martial arts writer and comic book original author, is as talented as Xu Qingru. He himself likes Xu Qingru or Xu Nuo's works. The previous "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was published in It was published in "Jianghu" when he was the editor-in-chief.
Teacher Ruan Mengqiu's readership is mostly elites with higher academic qualifications, who are very loyal. Her martial arts works are not the small format of ordinary female authors, but also the big format, and even the world view is so big that she can't even write her own main novel. To the extent that it is completely involved, a special setting collection is needed...but this setting collection is selling pretty well.
From these aspects, we know that the teacher Ruan Mengqiu, who is in her thirties, is indeed extremely powerful. And this time, she is paired with a painter like Teacher Hu Hong who has excellent painting skills and painting style. Her works are undoubtedly impressive. I'm looking forward to it so much that Feng Xiuran can't help but want to buy "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts"!
Of course, talented people are all the same, that is, they suffer from literary youth syndrome. Although Ruan Mengqiu’s literary youth syndrome is not as severe as Xu Qingru’s, she is famous for how tangled the emotional scenes in her works are. It’s really messy.” There’s nothing we can do about it. It’s a bit unrealistic to exclude the emotional dramas that female authors are best at in their works. Besides, that kind of tangled emotional dramas also have a wide audience.
Feng Xiuran feels that now "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts" has both Wu Qiubai, Ren Yusheng, and Liang Kunlun, who are passionate martial arts cartoonists with a wide audience, and powerful evil martial arts cartoonists like Ruan Mengqiu. It is simply to combine Xiaobai, The rhythm of Laobai readers catching everything in one go!
It seems that this time, "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts" is going to win openly. How can "Aiyou Comics" only rely on Xu Qingru's "Eternal Dragon Sword" to fight against the four supreme gods in the field of martial arts? ?
Even Chongyang, the Central Divine Power King among the "Five Arts of the Central Plains", can't possibly fight against the other four arts by himself, right?
And when the magazine "Legends of Modern and Ancient Martial Arts" announced that these three top martial arts cartoonists would join the magazine and hold a grand press conference for their new works, the entire Internet went crazy!
This news is really shocking!
In this case, how should Mr. Xu Qingru respond?
