From the perspective of users, the overall ability to pay has strengthened, the gender ratio is approaching balance, and young users account for the majority. As a result, with the replacement of holidays and the start of school, the industry has become cyclical.
From the perspective of the industry structure, Penguin Comics, the industry leader, still firmly occupies the top spot, followed by Qvod Comics and Kankan Comics, which are gradually catching up with Penguin Comics.
but……
It’s 12 noon on June 16th.
A piece of news released by Penguin Comics on the official microcircle has dealt a heavy blow to Qvod Comics and Kankan Comics.
There is only one sentence in this news: Congratulations to Chaoyun Muyu for selling "Feng Yun I" on the first day of sales exceeding one million!
At first glance, it doesn't seem like anything special.
However, if you look at the data, you will know why Qvod Comics and Kankan Comics are said to have suffered a heavy blow.
For domestic Internet comics, the sales record for a single volume of comics on the first day it was put on the shelves was 450,000 set by the American MD company's "New Super Human".
Chaoyun Muyu's "Wind and Cloud I" not only broke the record, but also more than doubled the record.
Originally, Kuaibo Comics and Kankan Comics finally negotiated the copyright of some comics with MD Company, and were able to compete with Penguin Comics in the domestic comics market.
Now, a Chinese comic came out of nowhere, and its sales have skyrocketed, occupying the top spot on every list. Even several American comics that are very popular in China are no match for them, and Penguin Comics suddenly grabbed all the traffic. gone.
The wrist was about to be pulled, and Penguin Comics suddenly changed a strong man to come up. You said, this allows you to quickly play comics and see how the comics are played.
It does not mean that all comic content will be seen if it is good. Often, a lot of the content is very good, but because your channels are not good, many people will not be able to see it. Just going to bookstores and bookstores will not make it accessible to everyone. Visible.
Internet comics have become a new battlefield for major comic companies. China has 1.3 billion Internet users, accounting for 70% of the total population. This is a highly efficient channel for publicity.
In fact, whether comics are in color or black and white, no matter what form they are, what is more important is persistence and market share, how to form IP, how to increase sales, how to make the author full of food, how to let others be assistants, how to The most important thing is to understand the market pattern and how to make a comic well done.
at this time.
Qvod Comics, Editor-in-Chief’s Office.
"Head, I found it. This Fengyun comic is produced by Xianqi Comics Magazine. It is sold online and offline at the same time."
An editor at Kuaibo Comics put the information he had just collected on his desk.
The editor-in-chief was silent for a moment and said, "Is Youxianqi Magazine a new company recently opened? Why haven't you heard of it before?"
The editor shook his head and said: "No, the predecessor of this fairy magazine is Novel Monthly Magazine, which is the magazine that publishes and serializes cross-border king novels. Their comic studio has only been established for half a month. arrive."
The editor-in-chief frowned and said: "Is the news accurate? This Fengyun Comics was created less than half a month after its establishment?"
The editor said with certainty: "It's 100% accurate. The office of their magazine was still in the suburbs a month ago, and they have recently moved back to the city. The recruitment information for the comic studio was released on June 5."
The editor-in-chief sighed and said, "It seems that I have already prepared to enter the comics industry."
After a pause, he asked again: "What about Chaoyun Muyu's personal information? Have you found it?"
The editor smiled awkwardly and replied: "I forgot to tell you, in fact, this 'Chao Yun Mu Yu' is the 'Crossover King'. It should be to avoid using the same pen name, and there will be issues with copyright ownership."
When the editor-in-chief heard this, he exclaimed: "What!"
The editor continued: "I was shocked at the time, thinking it was some kind of hype. After checking it out, I found out that the King of Crossovers had recommended single chapters of Fengyun Comics in all his novels. By the way, it was also in the micro circle. Posted a Weibo recommendation for Fengyun Comics.”
The editor-in-chief murmured: "I write novels and draw comics at the same time, and I don't miss both ends. They are both top-notch works in the industry."
The editor couldn't help but sigh: "He is truly a god."
————
"The picture combines the characteristics of ink and wash, which is very expressive and artistic."
""The Storm I" is a different world from "The Bodyguard" and "The Great Confucian Hero", and it is very amazing."
"The setting of the two protagonists is very novel."
"This is the comic style of our Chinese nation. Finally, we no longer need to read American comics."
"I hope this is the beginning of the rise of Chinese comics. We don't want "Feng Yun I" to succeed or fail "Feng Yun I"."
…
The booming online and offline sales of Fengyun Comics have also attracted attention from outside the industry, with many media reporting on it.
The title is: Internet writers cross boundaries and shock the entire comic industry as soon as they publish. "Feng Yun I" is what Chinese comics should be like!
Don't underestimate these media. They cover a wide range of people.
And, most importantly, this topic has caused heated discussions at home and abroad, and even the comic giant American MD Company on Blue Star is paying attention.
Topic discussions and publicity have made the popularity of the two pen names "Crossover King" and "Chaoyun Muyu" skyrocket.
Those who have read Chao Yunmuyu's "Wind and Cloud I" but have not read the novel of the cross-border king should buy a novel and read it. Or those who have read the novel of the cross-border king but have not read Chao Yunmuyu's "Wind and Cloud I" should buy a comic and read it.
For a time, the novel and comic book sold well, and both were in full bloom.
Zheng Rong, who was working at the Youxianqi magazine, couldn't stop smiling.
There are two main reasons why "Wind and Cloud I" can trigger heated discussions.
1. The god-level author in the online literature world crossed 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 emergence of online novels. Now he has crossed over to the comics world and has attracted much attention.
In addition, the development of Chinese comics was mainly based on ink and shadow puppets in the early days. After American comics entered the domestic comics market and created impressive results, they began to transform, taking the two routes of cartoon style and imitating American comics. The characteristics of American comics are the special visual style of bright colors, clear division of lenses, strong muscles and action lines, rough painting style, mostly realistic, and exaggerated deformation based on realism. The painting style of "Fengyun I" is unique, realistic and beautiful, with both hard lines and exquisite pictures, which is in sharp contrast with American comics.
Another key point is that Yunfeng found some problems in Fengyun comics after reading it once.
For example, the plot of Fengyun comics is not driven by Chinese dialogue and character personality in comics, but more like a collection of text-based descriptions and pictures, which reduces the sense of substitution, the feeling of reading comics, and it is difficult to reflect the psychology of characters.
These problems cannot be predicted by the original author when serializing.
But...
For Yunfeng, these problems can be avoided.
Don't forget.
What is Yunfeng's main job?
He writes novels.
He is the best at dialogue, character personality, character psychology, sense of substitution, etc.
He just changes it.
In addition, Yunfeng also slightly changed the plot, force, and characters of 123, making the plot logic reasonable, the force not collapsed, and the characters more full.
In this way, it adds a lot of color to Fengyun comics.
In short, in short, "Fengyun I" became popular, and was even called "the light of Chinese comics" by people in the industry.
However, as the saying goes, when some people are happy, others are sad.
