Chapter 594 The end of the golden age of martial arts?
When this rumor came out, the public's first reaction was of course that he did not believe it at all, and he thought the news was simply too nonsense.
Who is Teacher Yi'an?
That is the top comic artist who is known as the "God of Martial Arts Comics"!
Since when has her status in the comics industry surpassed the "King of Martial Arts Comics" who became the supreme god with "Xiaying".
As Teacher Yi'an step by step towards the supreme throne, the title of "King of Martial Arts Comics" by Teacher Ke Yongqun has long been mentioned. After all, even Teacher Ke Yongqun's "Xiaying" has appeared in many contents that draw on Yi'an's classic martial arts system...
Teacher Ke Yongqun is indeed quite capable and can connect those setting without a front into his work "Xiaying", but his actions undoubtedly mean that he has become a follower of Teacher Yi'an. As a follower, how can he compare with someone like Teacher Yi'an who has created a new martial arts trend?
No matter how popular "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" after Ke Yongqun is, he cannot change it. There are many originally loyal fans who are disappointed with him.
Originally, those loyal fans of Ke Yongqun thought that he should be the real king of martial arts comics, Yi An and others were just a rising star. However, their subsequent development made these loyal fans "played by fans" against Ke Yongqun. No one wanted the cartoonists they admired to follow the trend and learn from others, especially the other party was his junior.
But Ke Yongqun also knew his own pain. Speaking of which, he thought that his "Xiaying" had been painted for too long. In fact, he had no idea how many times he had to complete "Xiaying". However, since the popularity of "Xiaying" has never declined significantly, the plot and other things have not experienced any major collapse, and it always gives people the feeling that it can always "fight for another ten years".
In such a situation, whenever he had the idea of completing his editor, his editor would use various methods to persuade him. Even the senior executives of "The Kingdom of War" and many copyright partners all went on the battlefield, hoping that he could continue to draw in the afternoon...
Without any help, Ke Yongqun had to continue painting. In fact, he was very satisfied with the income of "Xiaying", which was a comic work that was enough to make him spend his whole life.
The long-term painting of the same work made his youthful impulse disappear without a trace. He is probably a rare person in the comics world who has conflicts with other cartoonists because he no longer needs to argue for anything.
Later, when he found out that Yi An's popularity was about to surpass him, he certainly felt uncomfortable, but he found that he had no idea of competing with Yi An anymore.
Why compete? What benefits can this bring to him?
Thinking of this, he suddenly lost the desire for competition. He had been glorious for a long time, and he even didn't care about fame at all now, so he was able to calmly learn from the settings of Yi An, a junior.
In fact, sometimes, Ke Yongqun also envies Yi An very much. He thinks that the other party's creative attitude of completely ignoring the editor and doing his own things is simply cool, not to mention that she always ends her work when it is most popular and never procrastinates. Based on this alone, Ke Yongqun thinks that she is far inferior to Yi An's "decisive" decision.
Ke Yongqun had never met Yi An, but he was still very convinced of this never-masked cartoonist, because he had carefully read every other person's work. He had long recognized that Yi An was indeed leading the trend of martial arts comics. In order to make himself ready to draw "Xiaying" that he kept painting, he could still be attractive to readers. He had to absorb more of Yi An's strengths.
The more he read Yi An's works, the more he felt that his "Xiaying" was, perhaps when he was full of inspiration for his creation in the early stage, he could compare with the other party, but in the later stage, he also began to draw routines. When he recalled all kinds of memories, he felt that "Xiaying" and Yi An's works were so dirty...
When he felt that he was not as good as Yi An, he had no intention of competing with Yi An. He was not even bothered to compete with the competition between "War Zhiguo" and "Qingman Weekly", because no matter how high the sales of "War Zhiguo" were, it had no direct relationship with his income.
On the contrary, his comics are now selling well on the Internet platform You Yaoqi, and he cares more about his cooperation with Ping An Consortium. At his level, cartoonists of course have their own independent team, and he can control his own destiny long ago.
Of course, all this is based on the fact that his "Haven Shadow" is still popular. He is now afraid of completing this work. If the next new work is not as popular as "Haven Shadow", how can he bear this sense of gap?
Although Ke Yongqun has made enough money for his whole life, who would think it’s too much?
As long as "Xiaying" maintains its current popularity and the sales of single-line books are still good, he will definitely continue to draw...
After watching Yi An's newly completed "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", his inspiration came again. He felt that the protagonist of "Xiaying" could open up a new map. Well, a new map with a higher level of martial arts.
Speaking of which, he sometimes feels ashamed of his crazy reference to Yi An's behavior. Although his references are very clever references and are not considered plagiarism at all, it is always a bit unpleasant to talk about things like reference and follow-up. But in order to continue making money, he can only do this against his will.
Ke Yongqun never had the idea of quitting the comics world. He thought he would keep drawing...
So, when he heard the rumor that suddenly spread, saying that Yi An, the "God of Martial Arts and Comics", was going to be the end of his life and even better than him, was about to stop writing and retreat from the comics world, he only felt that the rumor was too rumored. He didn't even have any signs, and just spread such nonsense!
He believed that the pseudonym "Yi'an" is a priceless treasure, especially because of Yi'an's current fame. Even if she hired a third-rate martial arts cartoonist to paint on her behalf and paint a third-rate martial arts routine comic, countless fans probably bought her account. How could she choose to close her pen at this peak?
Of course, Ke Yongqun didn't want Yi An to close the pen. In fact, he felt that the "Golden Age of Martial Arts" created by Yi An was a benefit to all martial arts cartoonists. She even pointed out the way ahead for all martial arts cartoonists. If she really closed the pen, wouldn't that mean the end of the "Golden Age of Martial Arts"? (To be continued.)
