The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 135 0135, The Light of Chinese Comics

Comics are a popular art form that people love to watch. With its exaggerated techniques, simple writing style and rich content, it brings more fun to people's lives.

As of the end of last year, the number of monthly active users in China's Internet comics market reached 6500 million, up 30.83% from the previous year.

From the user's perspective, the overall ability to pay has become stronger, the gender ratio is approaching a balanced level, and young users are the mainstream, resulting in obvious industry cyclicality as holidays and school starts.

From the perspective of the industry structure, the industry leader Penguin Comics still firmly holds the top spot, followed by Qvod Comics and Kankai Comics gradually catching up with Penguin Comics.

but……

It’s twelve o’clock noon on June 6th.

A piece of news released by Penguin Comics on its official WeChat circle dealt a heavy blow to Kuaibo Comics and Kanle Comics.

There is only one sentence to describe this news: Congratulations to Chao Yunmu Yu for breaking one million sales on the first day of "Feng Yun I"!

At first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything special.

However, looking at one piece of data, you can understand why Kuaibo Comics and Laikan Comics have suffered a heavy blow.

In China, the first-day sales record for a single comic on the Internet is 450,000, set by New Superhuman, a comic published by MD Company of the United States.

Chao Yunmu Yu's "Feng Yun I" not only broke the record, but also more than doubled it.

Originally, Kuaibo Comics and Kanle Comics had finally negotiated with MD Company for the copyright of some comics, allowing them to compete with Penguin Comics in the domestic comics market.

Now, a Chinese comic suddenly appeared out of nowhere, its sales soared to the top of all the charts. Even several American comics that are extremely popular in China are no match for it, and all the traffic was snatched away by Penguin Comics.

Just as he was about to twist his wrist, Penguin Comics suddenly replaced him with a strongman. What do you think of this? How do you play comics on Kuaibo and Come on?

It doesn’t mean that all good comic content will be seen. Often, there is a lot of very good content, but because your channels are not good, many people cannot see it. Just selling it in bookstores and newsstands will not make it visible to everyone.

Internet comics have become a new battlefield for major comic companies. China has 70 billion Internet users, accounting for % of the total population. This is an extremely efficient channel for publicity.

In fact, no matter comics are in color or black and white, or in any other form, what is more important is persistence and market share, how to form an IP, how to increase sales, how to make the author eat, how to get others to assist, how to see the market situation, and how to make a comic good, these are the most important things.

at this time.

Qvod Comics, editor-in-chief’s office.

"Boss, I found out that this Fengyun comic is owned by Xianqi Comic Magazine, and it's sold online and offline at the same time."

An editor of Kuaibo Comics put the information he had just collected on his desk.

The editor-in-chief was silent for a moment, then said, "Is Xianqi Magazine a new publication? How come I haven't heard of it before?"

The editor shook his head and said, "No, the predecessor of this Xianqi Magazine was the Novel Monthly Magazine, which is the magazine that published and serialized the crossover king novels. Their comic studio was established less than half a month ago."

The editor-in-chief frowned and asked, "Is the news accurate? They came up with this Fengyun comics in less than half a month after its establishment?"

The editor-in-charge said with certainty, "It's 6 percent accurate. The office of their magazine was still in the suburbs a month ago, and they recently moved back to the city. The recruitment information for the comic studio was released on June 5th."

The editor-in-chief sighed and said, "It seems that they have been preparing to enter the comics industry."

After a pause, he asked again, "What about Chao Yunmu Yu's personal information? Have you found it?"

The editor smiled awkwardly and replied, "I forgot to tell you that this '朝云暮雨' is actually '跨界天王'. It should be to avoid using the same pen name and causing copyright issues."

Upon hearing this, the editor-in-chief exclaimed, “What!”

The editor continued, "I was also shocked at the time, thinking it was hype or something. After checking, I found out that the crossover king had published a single chapter in all his novels to recommend Fengyun Comics. Oh, and he also published a Weibo post recommending Fengyun Comics."

The editor-in-chief murmured, "He writes novels and draws comics at the same time, and both are top-notch works in the industry."

The editor couldn't help but sigh: "He is truly a god."

————"The painting incorporates the characteristics of ink painting, which is very expressive and full of artistic conception."

“The Storm Riders I is a completely different world from The Darter and The Great Scholar. It’s amazing.”

“The setting of two protagonists is very novel.”

"This is the comic style of our country, China. Finally, we don't have to read American comics anymore."

“I hope this is the beginning of the rise of Chinese comics, and that they won’t be made or broken by “Storm and Thunder I”.”

……

The hot sales of Fengyun Comics both online and offline have also attracted attention from outside the circle and have been reported by many media outlets.

The title is: An online writer crosses over and shocks the entire comics industry with his first work. "Feng Yun I" is what Chinese comics should be like!
Don't underestimate these media; they cover a very wide range of people.

And, most importantly, this topic has aroused heated discussions at home and abroad, and even the comics giant on the blue planet, MD Company of the United States, is paying attention to it.

Topic discussions and publicity and promotion have caused the popularity of the two pen names "Cross-border King" and "Morning Clouds and Muyu" to soar.

So those who have read Chao Yunmuyu's "Feng Yun I" but have not read the novel by Cross-border King should hurry up and buy a copy of the novel to read; and those who have read Cross-border King's novel but have not read Chao Yunmuyu's "Feng Yun I" should hurry up and buy a copy of the comic to read.

For a time, novels, books and comic books were selling like hot cakes.

Zheng Rong at the Xianqi magazine couldn't stop smiling.

There are two main reasons why "Storm and Cloud I" has sparked heated discussions.

1. A top-notch author in the online literature world crosses over to the comics world.

2. Exquisite painting skills, highly ornamental painting style, and fascinating plot.

The cross-border king has already established a foothold in the online literature world and has become the best-selling author since the advent of online novels. Now that he has crossed over to the comics world, he has attracted attention from many parties.

In addition, the development of Chinese comics was mainly based on ink painting and shadow puppetry in the early days. It was only after American comics entered the domestic comics market and achieved remarkable results that Chinese comics began to transform, taking the two routes of cartoon style and imitation of American comics style. The characteristics of American comics are a special visual style with bright colors, clear division of lenses, strong muscles and action lines. The style is rough and the modeling is mostly realistic, and there are exaggerated deformations based on realism. The style of "Feng Yun I" is unique, realistic and beautiful, with both hard lines and exquisite pictures, which is in sharp contrast to American comics.

Another key point is that after Yunfeng finished reading the Fengyun comics, he discovered some problems in it.

For example, the plot of Feng Yun comics is not driven by comic-style dialogues and character personalities, but is more like a text-based description of a collection of pictures. This reduces the sense of immersion and the feeling of reading a comic, and it is difficult to reflect the characters' psychology.

The original author could not foresee these problems when he was serializing the work.

but……

For Yunfeng, these problems can be avoided.

do not forget.

What is Yunfeng’s main business?

I write novels.

He is the best at dialogue, character personalities, character psychology, sense of immersion and so on.

Just change it and it's done.

In addition, Yunfeng also made slight changes to the plot, martial arts, and characters of Part 123, making the plot logic reasonable, the martial arts not collapsed, and the characters more full-bodied.

This adds a lot of color to Fengyun Comics.

All in all, "Storm and Cloud I" became a hit and was even called "the light of Chinese animation" by industry insiders.

However, as the saying goes, when some people are happy, others are sad.
