Chapter 380 Immediate Effect
After the press conference of Ruan Mengqiu's new work, major media about the comics industry reported it overwhelmingly. It is obvious that the Chinese Culture Media Group supports "The Kingdom of Martial Arts" behind the scenes and has a huge publicity force.
Almost all readers who read comics know that "The Kingdom of War" has three top-notch cartoonists, and their new works are full of sincerity.
The neutral media described this incident as the "Huashan Sword Contest" and the "Five Great Wars". Yi An, the top cartoonist who had already vaguely surpassed Ke Yongqun and was about to become the number one person in the martial arts field, encountered a great crisis this time! Can she use her own strength to fight against the four top cartoonists in the martial arts field?
The media that was not in opposition to "The Kingdom of Martial Arts" focused on reporting some of Ruan Mengqiu's explosive remarks, mocking Lei Ruili, the editor-in-chief of "The Kingdom of Martial Arts", was just making up for the failure. If he hadn't forced Yi An away at the beginning, why would he have made such a big move to reverse the situation of "The Kingdom of Martial Arts"?
Some media also say that there are naked shady transactions behind this, otherwise why would "Jianghu Yi" and "The Legend of the Contemporary and Ancient" easily let go of their biggest cartoonists in the magazine?
However, no matter how these media criticized "The Kingdom of Martial Arts", when Ruan Mengqiu's new work "The Six Paths of the World", Ren Yusheng's new work "Jiwu", and Liang Kunlun's new work "Canghai" were released on "The Kingdom of Martial Arts", it had an immediate effect!
"The Kingdom of War" originally dropped to about 57 million copies, which not only stopped the decline, but also soared by 20 million copies in this issue, reaching a sales of 77 million copies. It shows how powerful the appeal of these three pillar-level comic artists is!
While the sales of "The Kingdom of Martial Arts" soared, it lost its pillars, "The Legend of Jianghu" and "The Legend of the Contemporary History" and "The Legend of the Contemporary Arts" have naturally plummeted in sales. The cartoonists who were originally serialized on it are also in a state of turmoil and are already considering their next home...
There is no doubt that "The Kingdom of War" strengthens itself through blood draw and maintains its position as the number one in the industry.
Qingman Weekly, whose sales were expected to exceed "The Kingdom of Martial Arts", was not affected by "The Kingdom of Martial Arts" and still rose steadily, from the original 53 million copies to 55 million copies. However, now it has been widened by "The Kingdom of Martial Arts".
You should know that the higher the sales of magazines, the harder it will increase. If Qingman Weekly does not take some special measures, it may be suppressed by Wuzhiguo for a long time.
This ranking of top sales is still very popular. Now that "The Kingdom of Martial Arts" has re-stabilized its first position, it means that it has a great attraction to those very powerful cartoonists. There are also some really talented cartoonists. Seeing "The Kingdom of Martial Arts" with "The Kingdom of Martial Arts" such as Ke Yongqun, Ruan Mengqiu, Ren Yusheng, Liang Kunlun, Zheng Yin, and Lin Daolu, they must want to compete with these people on the same stage. If they can step on them to achieve the highest god, their value is undoubtedly very high.
In contrast, although there are cartoonists like Yi An, An An, Xu Sishen, Nie Shenjian, and Ning Que, among them, only Yi An, An An can be regarded as the supreme god. The works they serialized in "Qingman Weekly" are of course very interesting, but in terms of status in the martial arts world, it is obviously not as good as the big guys in "The Kingdom of Martial Arts".
In such a situation, it is obviously not easy for "Qingman Weekly" to increase sales faster and eventually surpass "Warring Kingdom".
Now "The Kingdom of Martial Arts" has put on such a big move. Now it depends on how "Qingman Weekly" dealt with it. Some people suggest that "Qingman Weekly" also have to learn from "The Kingdom of Martial Arts" and find a real top martial arts cartoonist. The most mainstream comics are still in the category of martial arts, and the martial arts works in "Qingman Weekly" are still too rare...
Of course, some people do not agree with this suggestion. They say that it is martial arts that they have been tired of reading. Comics with diverse themes like "Qingman Weekly" are very suitable for their preferences. If you want to poach top cartoonists, then you can poach some popular cartoonists with other themes.
Industry insiders think that "Qingman Weekly" does not need to be impatient at all, and must stick to the initial development idea, but don't be disrupted by "The Kingdom of War".
Moreover, "Qingman Weekly" is more friendly to newcomers and has a smooth rise. That is, as long as you prove your popularity on the website of "Qingman Weekly" you have a great chance to be serialized in "Qingman Weekly".
There is now a Yaoqi original comic website, which is actually equivalent to the supplement "Wuzhi Village" of "Wuzhi Kingdom", which is a place to prove themselves to newcomers. Once they can gain a place on the major lists of the website, subscribe and rewards are also good, then he will naturally be noticed by the editor.
To be honest, online comics are really more commercial than physical comics, because they were born to cater to readers' tastes. Editors have little interference in this. A truly talented cartoonist can even make a living on the website of "Yaoqi original comics".
In the physical comics industry, cartoonists and editors in charge discuss the content of comics together. The cartoonist must change it to satisfy the editor in charge before he can pass the storyboard and draw the original manuscript. This unspoken rule has long been deeply rooted. At that time, "The Kingdom of War" criticized Yi An for not abide by the unspoken rules and completely ignored the editor's opinions.
This unspoken rule actually makes many cartoonists unhappy. Originally, they could only adapt to this rule. However, since the traffic of You Yaoqi Original Comics website has increased and increased, some people always feel that the editor has bound their physical comics, so they directly choose You Yaoqi Original Comics website to draw comics freely. Of course, some people succeed, and the income from subscribing alone is very nourishing, while others fail because the work is not loved by readers and is not very popular, so it is in vain...
