Although the press conference for the new works of two top cartoonists, Ren Yusheng and Liang Kunlun, was quite grand, these two leading authors appeared to be very modest and low-key, making reporters feel that there was nothing else to do except their new serials. A particularly hyped place.
Originally, the reporters wanted these two top cartoonists to say something against Xu Qingru. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts" poached them to deal with Xu Qingru...
But when talking about his views on Xu Qingru, Ren Yusheng just said with a smile: "Although Xu Qingru is a junior, she is a very talented creator. I have watched her works with gusto and she is very interested in my creations." It also helps a lot. To be honest, my new works also draw lessons from her works. After all, I have to keep up with the trend of the times."
Although he smiles on the surface, in his heart, Ren Yusheng still has a little resentment towards Xu Qingru. If it weren't for Xu Qingru's new-school martial arts works, they would have had an impact on his old-school martial arts movie "The Bloody Knife Mania" which would have lasted a lifetime. If it was too big, he would still be reluctant to finish "The Bloody Knife Mania"...
Of course, he himself is very confident in his new work "Warring States". This is of course also a new martial arts comic. The historical background is the Warring States period. The protagonist is set to be a peerless swordsman. The whole story captures three selling points. , the first is "hot-blooded", the second is "cool", and the third is the interaction with celebrities from the Warring States Period. If possible, he will continue to draw his new works for ten or eight years. It is impossible for Xu Qingru to open up a new martial arts school. After that, will you go on to develop a higher genre?
Liang Kunlun, the "martial arts master", did not rely on his old age to show off his old age. His evaluation of Xu Qingru was that "young people are to be feared." He was already close to fifty years old and had long passed the age of being ambitious. Not to mention that Xu Qingru's works really made him unable to put them down. It also gave him a lot of inspiration. Such an outstanding and talented creator is undoubtedly worthy of respect. It would be really embarrassing if he boasts at the press conference now and is slapped in the face by his juniors.
As a top cartoonist who pursues commercial interests, Liang Kunlun will naturally not have trouble with money. He is also very confident in his new martial arts work that absorbs new elements.
When these two popular cartoonists were asked what they thought when they were selected by netizens as one of the "Five Wonders of the Central Plains", they both expressed that they were honored. In any case, being able to stand on the same level as Xu Qingru and Wu Qiubai is indeed considered a real achievement. Standing at the pinnacle of the martial arts comics world.
In general, the press conferences of these two famous cartoonists' new works were too conventional, and did not bring about any scenes that everyone liked to see. Many reporters felt that their trip was in vain.
But no matter what, their new works have gained a reputation, and they are clearly "new martial arts" and follow the trend of the times, which many martial arts fans are looking forward to!
The only ones who are dissatisfied are probably Hong Bo and Liu Liqun. Even before the launch of the new work, they both gave subtle hints to these two bosses, asking them to act more domineering and step on Xu Qingru's The third part of the Condor Shooting series, "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer", I criticized it for not having any highlights, and the pace at the beginning was slow and so on.
As a result, these two shrewd commercial cartoonists ignored this hint at all. In their view, offending a genius like Xu Qingru would do them no good at all. Anyway, Xu Qingru is no longer in "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts". , what does it have to do with them?
The response to the new works of Ren Yusheng and Liang Kunlun on the Internet is still very large. Before, it was only discussed on a certain martial arts forum. Now many people in major forums and communities have mentioned these two top cartoonists who were once only a little behind Wu Qiubai. , very much looking forward to their new martial arts work.
Some good people also think that this is the "Huashan Sword Discussion" between the "Five Wonders of the Central Plains". It is a pity that Xu Qingru is no longer in "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts". Otherwise, a popularity battle between them will definitely be a martial arts worthy of attention. Prosperity!
At the same time, Liu Liqun, the editor-in-chief of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts" also claimed that Teacher Ruan Mengqiu's new work "Six Paths of the World" has not yet been serialized, but the copyright has been sold for a sky-high price. Her new work with Teacher Hu Hong will be created To become a super IP, animations, TV series, movies, etc. must be produced.
Ruan Mengqiu's unreleased new work sold for such a sky-high price, which undoubtedly once again shocked the entire industry. Obviously her sales of single books are not as good as those of the other "Four Wonders", but her copyright income is probably second only to teacher Wu Qiubai. As for Xu Qingru's copyright The income is relatively vague, because it has not been publicized much, and it is basically in a state of making a fortune in silence.
The sky-high copyright price of Ruan Mengqiu's new work has undoubtedly brought greater attention to her new work "Six Paths of the World", and her new work press conference attracted more reporters, because this talented woman has always been known for her talk. Known for blocking, maybe it can make big news!
Because "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times: Martial Arts" made so much noise, even people like Xu Qingru, who didn't pay much attention to the subject of martial arts comics, saw the news.
At this time, she was with Jiang Xue, following the press conference of the new work of the talented Ruan Mengqiu with a gossip mentality.
"I still like Ruan Mengqiu's martial arts. I didn't expect that this time her new work will be published directly in the form of comics on "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts". It seems that I will also buy a copy of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times". "Martial Arts"." Xu Qingru couldn't help but sigh.
Xu Qingru has also seen Ruan Mengqiu's martial arts, because she thinks his martial arts is really interesting, literary and stream-of-consciousness, the writing style is also very unique, and the characters depicted are all unique... and the world view set in her works is also extremely grand and novel. .
Xu Qingru has always liked this kind of work that perfectly combines setting, storytelling and literature. Ruan Mengqiu also lives up to her reputation as a talented woman. After all, she graduated from the Chinese Department of Capital University, and also received a doctorate in the field of popular literature. She has won important awards, which shows how popular she is.
"Sister Aru, you actually want to buy "Legends of Modern and Ancient Martial Arts"? They are all your opponents!" Jiang Xue couldn't help but complain.
"I just like Ruan Mengqiu's works. I feel that her works have a bit of a martial arts and fantasy meaning. They are very imaginative works. It's a pity that her settings are too complicated and do not form a more complete system. Otherwise, she might be able to create a genre. Of course I will support her new work." Xu Qingru responded to Jiang Xue's complaints seriously.
Jiang Xue couldn't help but worry that "Aiyou Comics" would really be suppressed by the old magazine "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts"...
Just when she was thinking worriedly, she was stunned when she heard Ruan Mengqiu's remarks at the new work launch conference!
First of all, Ruan Mengqiu was very unqualified in terms of dress. She wore the simplest and plainest clothes and attended with a cold expression. She was completely different from Ren Yusheng and Liang Kunlun who had previously dressed up to attend. As a result, when the reporter asked her about the sky-high copyright price, , she just adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, took the microphone and said calmly: "It's fake! It's probably the stupid editor-in-chief of "Legends of Ancient Times and Martial Arts" who blew it out. The real price is not that high."
At this time, normal authors should cooperate with the magazine, and directly say that the editor-in-chief of the magazine where their works will be serialized next is an idiot. Is it really okay?
Jiang Xue stared blankly at Ruan Mengqiu, who spoke freely, and felt that he was just as cool and willful as her sister Aru.
The reporters below also made a commotion, but their faces were full of excitement. As expected, the talented Ruan Mengqiu made big news again! Just call Liu Liqun a fool!
Thinking about it, it is indeed stupid. If he didn't force Xu Qingru away, how could he make such a big deal now to stop the decline of "Legend of Modern and Ancient Martial Arts"?
"Pfft... Ruan Mengqiu, the creator, really doesn't change her nature. I remember watching one of her talk shows before, and she choked the host several times until she was speechless. She really doesn't have anything to say at all. I like pretentious women, so simple and straightforward, which is one of the reasons why I like her." Xu Qingru couldn't help laughing when she heard Ruan Mengqiu say this.
Of course, in the eyes of many media, Xu Qingru is more individual than Ruan Mengqiu. At least Ruan Mengqiu likes to be interviewed. He often makes some very eye-catching remarks, which makes the media feel that they have gained a lot. However, Xu Qingru is not as good as a bird. The media is completely aloof.
"What do you think of Xu Qingru and her works? I have never been in contact with her, so I don't have any opinions about her. I will not judge a person subjectively. As for her works, overall, of course they are very good, and her sales are It completely proves this point. But I still think that integrating martial arts into history is very nonsense. Maybe it’s because I know a lot about history. In addition to being a PhD in literature, I also have a master’s degree in history from Capital University. So in her works Her flaws are so obvious to me that I almost feel embarrassed. The only flawless thing is probably her painting skills." Ruan Mengqiu expressed her views on Xu Qingru's works very frankly.
The result naturally made the reporters excited again. Is this just nitpicking?
Isn't this teacher Ruan Mengqiu afraid of offending Xu Qingru's huge readership?
"Sister Aru! This guy is too crazy. She is just provoking you!" Jiang Xue said unhappily. She didn't want others to say bad things about Xu Qingru.
"Isn't she praising my flawless painting skills?" Xu Qingru smiled nonchalantly.
As for the flaws, you can't blame her. Jin Yong's historical literacy is often complained about in another world. Even if she pays attention to the historical environment and customs in the comics, she cannot fully achieve it. There is no flaw at all, this is a martial arts comic after all.
Xu Qingru suddenly felt that this time, it seemed that "Eternal Dragon Sword" was not enough. Since "Legends of Ancient Times and Martial Arts" was going to be a big one, she should also play a big one!
"The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "Tian Long Ba Bu", and "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" are all serialized at the same time!
It's enough to compete with these three top cartoonists with these three classic martial arts works!
Let’s go straight to the peak battle!
