This childhood sweetheart has a problem

Chapter 221 Contradictions
At the beginning of "Swordsman", Xu Qingru quickly settled with the new senior artist, and sent her editor in charge, or the errand runner Zhou Fang, to the editorial department.

Although many editors were not optimistic about the completely empty setting of "Swordsman", when the first few chapters of this new serialization were sent, the editors began to review them with a sense of integrity, with extremely serious expressions on their faces. The look of anticipation.

Of course, the editor-in-chief Ding Yixiang is also the same. He has been under a lot of pressure recently, because he made various concessions to Xu Qingru, which made the magazine's senior executives very dissatisfied.

And Xu Qingru's behavior of taking Jiang Xue to other girls' comic magazines to publish works has aggravated the dissatisfaction of the high-level. They always feel that Xu Qingru and Jiang Xue became famous through "Legends of the Ancient and Modern Times. Martial Arts", so if they publish works in other magazines, then It is betrayal, even if it is a different type of work.

The group executives also believed that Xu Qingru, the author, had no loyalty to "Legends of the Ancient and Modern Times. Martial Arts". Such an author would have to change jobs sooner or later, so she should be tied up with the most stringent contract!

Ding Yixiang felt that these high-level executives underestimated Xu Qingru too much. He is not an ordinary author. His family background is there, and he is the giant of a fast-growing Two-dimensional game company. You may choose the other party casually. If they are not happy, you can create a new magazine by yourself every minute!

Therefore, the editor-in-chief Ding Yixiang has carried all these things down. He can only hope that Xu Qingru's "Swordsman" can continue to surprise him...

However, when he and the editors read the beginning, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood—the beginning is that the "protagonist" was exterminated, what's the matter?
This is clearly a bad plot in the third-rate martial arts comics... Did the main character get off the cliff in the next corner to obtain magic skills and then take revenge?

Perhaps many readers, when watching "Swordsman" for the first time, will directly regard "Lin Pingzhi" as the main character. After all, the first three chapters are all about the Lin family - Fujian Lin Yuantu used the 72-way evil sword technique Dominate the martial arts world, set up the Fuwei Escort Bureau and gallop across the rivers and lakes.After Yuantu's death, his descendants were incompetent, heroes from all over the world coveted the evil sword manual, and came one after another.Chief escort Lin Zhennan and his family were slaughtered by the Qingcheng faction.And Lin Pingzhi is the son of Lin Zhennan.

In Xu Qingru's comic, one of Lin Ping's appearances is the handsome Zhuo Shijia, whose appearance and appearance are absolutely first-class, and he also has a chivalrous heart and a sense of justice. The standard setting for the young hero template protagonist in martial arts works.

Xu Qingru, who is best at drawing handsome men and beauties, makes readers fall in love with the characters at a glance, and when Lin Pingzhi at the beginning is compared with Lin Pingzhi at the end, readers can really give readers a good impression. This kind of shocking tension, what made the young hero who was once passionate, righteous, and personable turn into the last pervert who killed his wife in cold blood?
Lin Pingzhi's family was wiped out at the beginning. If it follows the routine of general martial arts works, this is clearly telling the readers that he is going to be put on the "protagonist halo". After being suppressed for so long at the beginning, he will either be careless next time Falling off a cliff to obtain magical skills, or meeting an expert, who is considered to be a unique martial arts genius with strange bones, so he is accepted as an apprentice by the expert, and the expert also has a beautiful daughter...

After the protagonist achieves great feats, he finally takes revenge and gets to know many confidantes, including righteous chivalrous women, demon girls, top oirans who sell themselves in brothels, etc. In the end, it is naturally a happy ending.

To be honest, this kind of routine in martial arts works is still the mainstream of most martial arts works. Even those martial arts cartoonists, after being inspired by Xu Qingru's "new martial arts" works, their settings may have caught up with the trend. It's all about lightness skills, internal skills, magical skills and cheats, etc., but the plot is still the same. This is the so-called "old wine in new bottles".

Readers still stick to one thing, for no other reason than it's fun.

When the protagonist is exterminated at the beginning, a main line of revenge is set up, and then based on this main line, many branch lines can be derived, including the harem line, friend line, skill line, equipment line, etc., some of which are thoroughly understood The famous martial arts cartoonist even summed up the so-called "nine-line drawing method"...

This "nine-line drawing method" is difficult for readers to discover, but for the editors of "Legends of the Ancient Times. Martial Arts" present here, they are very familiar with it. In fact, they When choosing which works to submit to the serial meeting, they will also subconsciously choose those routine martial arts comics.

Facts have proved that routines are enduring. A brand-new setting combined with classic routines is the only way for martial arts cartoonists to prove their way to the highest level. Unfortunately, how can it be so easy to come up with a new setting?
After reading the first three chapters of "Swordsman", all the editors were silent, and the whole venue seemed quite depressed. Obviously, this was because everyone subconsciously believed that Xu Qingru had "degenerated" and even went to draw That kind of routine martial arts works.

But to be honest, there is nothing wrong with this approach of seeking stability. For many top cartoonists, the best works in his life are the works before he became a god. He can only draw some routine works to continue to make money, anyway, he has already accumulated a group of diehard fans.

Xu Qingru's own fan base and the number of diehard fans are absolutely unimaginable. Just look at her random photos or videos, and the comments below are all crazy fans, so you can see the whole leopard at a glance.

Therefore, if Xu Qingru also creates routine martial arts comics, some readers may be disappointed, but most readers will definitely continue to read them with great interest.

Because they firmly believe that even if Xu Qingru creates routine works, it is still the best routine work, and it is worth chasing after her only because of the style of her works...

After all, Xu Qingru's art aesthetics are always very online, and the games of "Aiyou" company are so competitive, because the games they release, no matter how bad they are, their "skin" and "appearance" are top-notch. The art and music parts of the game are directly filled!
In the midst of this depression, there was a deputy editor-in-chief named Liu Liqun who was more close to the group's senior management. Any bright spots, such a clichéd beginning, is really disappointing. Why not continue to draw the third part of "Shooting the Condors", but start a new martial arts work with no bright spots? I really can't understand this, just It can be said that the privilege given to Xu Qingru by Editor-in-Chief Ding actually harmed him! If a senior editor-in-chief cooperates with Xu Qingru, he will definitely be able to create better works!"

Ding Yixiang's heart was naturally filled with bitterness. In fact, he felt that his position as editor-in-chief was almost at the end. It can be said that success may be clear, and failure may be clear.

Because of the appearance of Xu Qingru, "Legends of the Ancient Times. Martial Arts" magazine has reached a new level, and it has truly established the leading position of the industry's number one martial arts comic magazine. Some people in the high-level covet it, but those copyrights are in Xu Qingru's own hands...

This gradually formed an irreconcilable contradiction.

Some people in the top management of the group think that without the platform of "Legends of the Ancient Times. Martial Arts", Xu Qingru would never be able to succeed!

And as long as "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times. Martial Arts" maintains its current momentum, they can praise authors like Xu Qingru as much as they have!
When Liu Liqun said what he said just now, several deputy editors immediately stood up to express their agreement. These are obviously members of his department.

Some editors also spoke for Xu Qingru: "I think we should trust Xu Qingru, how can we draw conclusions so arbitrarily based on just a beginning?"

Respondents were few.

In the end, Ding Yixiang decided with a bitter face, and passed the new serialization of "Swordsman", but the recommendations and publicity in all aspects are far inferior to before. Some people think that this method can be used to "beat" Xu Qingru .
