Chapter 376
Although the show of the new work of two top cartoonists Ren Yusheng and Liang Kunlun was quite grand, the two pillar-level authors seemed very modest and low-key, making the reporters feel that there seemed to be nothing special to hype except their new serialization.
Originally, the reporters wanted these two top cartoonists to say something about Yi An. After all, anyone with discerning eyes could see that "The Kingdom of War" poached them, undoubtedly to deal with Yi An...
But when talking about her views on Teacher Yi An, Ren Yusheng just said with a smile: "Teacher Yi An is a very talented cartoonist. I have read all her works with great interest, which is also of great help to my creation. To be honest, my new works also have some references to her works. After all, I have to keep up with the trend of the times."
Although he smiled on the surface, in fact, in his heart, Ren Yusheng still had a little resentment towards Yi An. If it weren't for Yi An's new martial arts works, which had a great impact on his long-form old-school martial arts "Blooded Sword Madness", which he could have lived for the rest of his life, he wouldn't have been willing to finish "Blooded Sword Madness"...
Of course, he is very confident in his new work "Zongheng Chunqiu". This is of course also a new-story martial arts comic. The historical background is the Spring and Autumn Period. The protagonist is set as a peerless swordsman. The whole story catches three selling points: one is "hot blood", the second is "smooth", and the third is interaction with celebrities from the Spring and Autumn Period. If possible, he will continue to draw his new work for ten or eight years. Yi An cannot open up a new martial arts genre and then open up a higher genre, right?
Liang Kunlun, the "martial arts master", did not rely on his seniority to be a veteran. He was "a fearless young man". He was nearly fifty years old and had already passed the age of being voluntary. Not to mention that Yi An's works really made him love it, and also gave him a lot of inspiration. Such an outstanding genius cartoonist is undoubtedly worthy of respect. If he boasts about his reputation at the press conference now and is slapped in the face by his younger generation, it would be really embarrassing.
For example, Li Guoxing, the author of "Baquan" and "The Legend of the Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", was too inflated, but was ruthlessly slapped by Yi An's popularity, and even offended Ping An Group, so that even the electronic reading channels were banned and the blog was closed, which reduced the income!
Now everyone knows that Yian has the president of Ping An Group as a backer, and this group has the largest online reading channel. Now the revenue of this online reading channel is getting higher and higher. Many online cartoonists, even if they don’t publish single-line books, can get a considerable royalty with the subscription of online users…
As a top cartoonist who pursues commercial interests, Liang Kunlun naturally will not be in trouble with money. He is also very confident in his new martial arts works that have absorbed new elements and can definitely achieve good results in single-book sales and online channels.
When asked what these two popular cartoonists thought when they were selected as the "Five Great Masters of Central Plains" by netizens, they both expressed their honor. No matter what, being able to stand at the same level as Yi An and Ke Yongqun is indeed truly at the top of the comics industry.
In general, the launch of new works by these two famous comic artists was too regular and did not make everyone's favorite scenes happen, making many reporters feel in vain.
But no matter what, the reputation of their new work has been made, and they are clearly "new-style martial arts", keeping up with the trend of the times, which makes many martial arts comic fans look forward to it!
The only thing that I was not satisfied with was probably Qiu Hongbo and Lei Ruili. Long before the new work launch conference, they all hinted at these two big guys, making them more domineering. By the way, they stepped on Yian's new work "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and criticized it for having no highlights, and the pace at the beginning was slow.
As a result, these two savvy commercial cartoonists ignored this hint. In their opinion, offending a genius like Teacher Yi An is of no use to them. Anyway, Yi An is no longer in "The Kingdom of Martial Arts", so what does it have to do with them?
The response to Ren Yusheng and Liang Kunlun's new works on the Internet is still very big. It was just discussed in the "Anime Home" forum. Now many people in major posters and communities have mentioned these two top cartoonists who were once only a little short of Ke Yongqun. They are looking forward to their new martial arts works.
Some people who are flirting also think that this is the "Huashan Sword Contest" between the "Five Great Sages of Central Plains". Unfortunately, Teacher Yi An is no longer in "The Kingdom of Martial Arts". Otherwise, the popularity war between them would be a great martial arts era worth paying attention to!
At the same time, Lei Ruili, editor-in-chief of "The Kingdom of Martial Arts", also claimed that Mr. Ruan Mengqiu's new work "The Six Paths of the World" has not been serialized yet, but the copyright has been sold for 100 million yuan. The new work she collaborated with Mr. Hu Hong will be made into a super IP. Not only animations, TV series, and movies will be produced, but even popular online games will be produced. The production company is a famous single-player game company.
Now the stand-alone game companies in Greater China have finally turned their attention to online games, mainly because of the revenue generated by Ping An Group's online games, which has also made these companies that are obsessed with high-quality stand-alone games excited. In addition, Ping An Group has acquired many outstanding stand-alone game companies, which is obvious that they are also going to develop into the stand-alone game market. Since that is the case, then our stand-alone game companies will of course also make online games!
It is undoubtedly a wise choice to create an online game based on the IP of the super popular comics, not to mention that Mr. Ruan Mengqiu has quite a few loyal fans. If Ruan Mengqiu's works are adapted into online games, then her loyal fans will definitely try to play.
Ruan Mengqiu's new work that has not yet been released, and it has undoubtedly shocked the entire industry again. Her single-book sales are not as good as other "four masters", but the copyright income is probably second only to Mr. Ke Yongqun. As for Mr. Yi'an's copyright income, it is relatively vague, because Mr. Yi'an's copyright is basically in the hands of Ping An Group, but I don't know how she and Ping An Group share...
However, since the president of Ping An Group is so optimistic about Teacher Yi An, he will not be too cheating. Unfortunately, these industry insiders did not expect that Yi An himself is actually the largest shareholder of Ping An Group.
