Chapter 521: New Book Conference
On June 26, Wang Yunze's new book release conference arrived as scheduled.
Shen Xin also devoted half a day to watch the release of Wang Yunze's new book in front of the TV, and the name of Wang Yunze's new book also appeared in front of everyone for the first time - "Age of the Gods".
The name is... a little big.
This was Shen Xin's first reaction when he saw the name for the first time, and it even reminded him of the Internet novels on Earth, such as "XX God X" and "XX Emperor X".
In Shen Xin's memory, most of the comics with the theme of "God" are small and big, such as "As God Said", "The World God Only Knows", "My Goddess", and "Death" The theme is slightly bigger, but not as big as "Gods" and "Times".
Shen Xin was a little puzzled, what kind of progress should the story have to be related to these four words.
"'Age of the Gods' looks so domineering—" Liu Rui became energetic when she saw the brush writing on the big screen.
"It's a bit domineering." Gao Hang felt a little uncomfortable.
"What do you think, Teacher Shen?" Hang Jian asked in a low voice.
"Me? It's hard to say, you can only be sure by looking at the content?"
Having said that, Shen Xin is not optimistic about it because the topic is too big.
If it is a world of low martial arts, the name may not be worthy of the name; if it is a world of high martial arts, it also depends on the author's control. Under the premise of less than a year of preparation, Shen Xin is not optimistic about Wang Yunze's ability to draw even if he has the foundation of "The Legend of the Dragon King". come out.
An author's ability to control a story depends not on his fame, but on his strength and preparation.
What's more, the power system at the end of "The Legend of the Dragon King" also collapsed, which cast a shadow on the future of this comic.
The moment the title of the book was revealed, the topic of "Age of the Gods" spread on the Internet. Whether it was on Weibo or the Manjia.com app, many netizens discussed it.
""Age of the Gods"? What a name!"
"Mighty and domineering! Just seeing this name has opened my mind!"
"Look, there are several characters appearing on the big screen, still in the style of Mr. Wang."
"Compared to Teacher Wang,
The characters drawn by other cartoonists are all coquettish. "
"Put P, is Teacher Shen too? Teacher Shen's current painting skills are better than Teacher Wang!"
"However, Mr. Wang's painting style is more flavorful."
"Are you using it for bibimbap? It must have a taste..."
"It's time for an interview. The host is sister Xiaopei, a senior host of the animation channel."
It was much quieter on the Internet, and netizens also turned their attention to the TV.
"Mr. Wang, hello. You have prepared this book for about ten months. Compared with "The Legend of the Dragon King", it is half a year less. I would like to ask, under such circumstances, can you still keep it Is it good enough quality?"
"The preparation time...well, how should I put it? It is indeed a bit short. At first I thought that the preparation time of a manga is directly proportional to its quality, but it is not the case. Some authors also only prepared for half a year, but they drew amazing cartoons. Since then, I think preparation time has never been the criterion for judging the quality of a comic, compared to inspiration, which is more important!" Wang Yunze pointed to his temple, "If there is no inspiration, it depends on the preparation time That's right. I didn't start thinking about this comic after the end of "The Legend of the Dragon King". In fact, the real preparation time should be more than 10 months."
Discussions are raging on the Internet.
"Who is so fierce? After only half a year of preparation, you can draw an astonishing cartoon?"
"I don't know, maybe I'm bragging? Half a year is too little time."
"It's possible. Besides, there aren't many popular models in China, right?"
"Isn't "Steel Refining" the most popular in China? Is there anything more popular than "Steel Refining"?"
"Holy shit, it's really "Steel Refining"! "Soul of Chess" ended in January, and "Steel Refining" was serialized in July—the interval is exactly half a year!"
"Really? Isn't that a bit too fast?"
...
Hearing this, Shen Xin also had black lines. Of course he knew that Wang Yunze was talking about him, but...
I'm wearing it, don't you also wear it?
Shen Xin sighed in her heart, secretly said "guilty", and accidentally led Wang Yunze astray.
"So, you have also put a lot of effort into preparing this comic. The title of the new book, you can tell at a glance that it is related to 'God'. Can you briefly tell us about the idea of creating this comic? Yes, can you tell us all about the theme of this manga..."
"Actually, the original idea of this comic was after I read another comic. Because the other comic involves occultism, which is purely Western. So, I was wondering if I could also draw a comic , similar comics, but the content is mainly about China. First of all, I thought of myths and legends. Later, while collecting relevant information, I also observed the surrounding environment. Because now more cultural exchanges are emphasized, I borrowed from other countries. myth.
"Although it relies on mythology, this is not a comic based on mythology. The title of the book is "Age of the Gods". In fact, the background of the comic is not ancient. There will be many novelties in the design of the story, and Please continue to pay attention, I believe that "Age of the Gods" will not let you down."
After hearing Wang Wenhong's words, Shen Xin also became curious about this cartoon.
He reserved his own opinions on the title of the comics, but with mythology as the background, it might only involve mythological characters, which gave Shen Xin a sense of anticipation for "Age of the Gods".
However, Shen Xin also knew that he was actually interested in the brain hole of "Age of the Gods". As for the direction of the story, to be honest, the theme of the story has lasted for thousands of years. Forming words, the routines have already been fixed, but the creators used a more novel method to disassemble these routines and reassemble them.
The host asked Wang Yunze a few more questions, such as why he left "Comic Future", the update plan on the new website, and the prospect of the work, and thus transferred to the game copyright of "Age of Gods".
"Just recently, we got news that "Age of the Gods" sold the game copyright to 'five' in District 11 at a price of 20 million Huaxia coins. A manga for the game copyright. Now let's invite the person in charge of 'five', Mr. Hayakawa, to speak..."
"20000000?"
Shen Xin was shocked when she heard this number.
Is it more than 20 million?
Really a lot.
Is it worth it?
Depends on the manga itself. If it is a manga like "Pirate" that has a large number of fans around the world, 20 million is nothing. As for 20 million to buy a comic that has not yet been released. To be honest, the price is really high.
It's the same even if the author is Wang Yunze.
