The audience's hearts were breaking down because they realized that they might not be able to see Journey to the West again. They really didn't know what they were thinking when they didn't ask for help.
A Pen knew about " Goosebumps ", but he also knew that it was only a magazine sold in the capital circle. The sales were very small. Calling it a magazine company would be an exaggeration. However, only such a small company would agree to a contract that didn't require anyone's help, right? He thought about how he had his own lawyer even without asking for help. A Pen thought that perhaps he didn't care about the results of his work at all and was just a casual artist.
"Casting pearls before swine!" A Pen still felt that it was a pity. If it was in their " Ding Dang Animation ", it would be a win-win situation. Now, it was a win-win situation for not asking for help and that small workshop.
From then on, Journey to the West would fade out of sight, and Wandering with Rice would be criticized by fans.
The fans were angry because they couldn't see Journey to the West. They pointed their fingers at Roaming Rice and thought that this small company was competing viciously, which was why they poached Unbegging.
For a moment, the comics industry was in chaos. To be precise, the industry had always been chaotic, but this time, it was targeted chaos.
Even Xiao Wenli had joined the crusade against " Wandering with Rice ". Because magazines were not available in Samo City, Xiao Wenli had already asked at the nearby newsstands, but the boss shook his head and said that there were none.
"It's illegal to watch pirated copies." Li Mu whispered. In this world, the legal system was very sound. Piracy and watching pirated copies would be punished. Of course, pirated copies were criminal cases, and watching pirated copies would be recorded on one's credit.
Times had changed. Thirty years ago, Zhang Taiting could sell pirated copies and make a fortune, but now he couldn't.
Xiao Wenli was like a frosted eggplant, completely devoid of energy.
Li Mu really didn't expect the circulation of " Wandering with Rice " to be so small that it couldn't be bought in Samo City. He really didn't know what to say.
But forget it. They only had the serial copyright anyway. Even if the magazine's performance was not good and it went bankrupt, Li Mu could still publish the online version or the standalone version.
The matter of the serial had already been decided, so Li Mu had specially posted on the " Ding, Ding " forum that there would be new changes to the serial content and welcomed everyone to purchase " Wandering with Rice."
There was a wave of wails below, all saying that they couldn't sell it.
Occasionally, people from the capital circle would say that they had bought the magazine, but they would immediately be drowned out by the envious and jealous comments from the audience.
Tang Xing was a famous manga artist under Ding Dang Animation. He had been in the manga industry for more than ten years and had accumulated a large number of fans. Therefore, when they heard that Tang Xing was going to have a new work, everyone expressed their support.
Although the name sounded like it was imitating Journey to the West, everyone believed that Tang Xing's strength would definitely bring about something different. Fans expressed their support for Tang Xing and Dingdang Animation.
Li Mu's number one hater," Perfect Troll," explained Tang Xing's position in the manga world to everyone. He could be said to be a pioneer. In the end, the troll said that " Don't Ask for Beings " was destined to fail. He could guarantee that no one would mention " Don't Ask for Beings " again in three months. It was just a temporary firework that would soon fade away from the public. Only a mangaka like Teacher Tang Xing was the future of manga.
Surprisingly, no one was attacking the perfect troll this time. Obviously, everyone was unhappy with Li Mu's decision to choose " Wandering with Rice ", so they all turned to support the " perfect troll ".
The netizens were indeed so gullible. They were simply speechless.
Fortunately, Li Mu had passed the age where he cared about comments. He had seen all kinds of netizens on Earth. These comments were just a drizzle.
Of course, Li Mu was not surprised by the trend. The Eastern Journey Record was obviously secretly trying to use Journey to the West to create hype and use the trend of magic to open up sales.
Obviously, the audience's love for Journey to the West had given the cartoonists a new idea, which was to adapt ancient myths into comics. Ding Dang Animation also aimed for reality.
Of course, the audience was the happiest. They couldn't wait to see more outstanding works. However, everyone knew that Journey to the West and Journey to the East were destined to be compared together.
The two magazines were coincidentally on sale on the same day.
It was an ordinary morning in early autumn. Chen Jun, who had lived in the capital for fourteen years, took his pocket money to the newsstand that he often frequented."Boss, one copy of Ding Dang Animation and one copy of Roaming Grain.”
" Wandering Grain " was just a normal version, but there was also a poster of the Monkey King inside.
Chen Jun had loved to watch cartoons since he was young. After junior high school, he came into contact with comics. Although he was young, he had read a lot of comics.
After spending a month's worth of breakfast money, Chen Jun's face was filled with joy. He liked both Teacher Tang Xing and the person who didn't ask for help. His future days would be too blissful.
Thinking about the two stories he could read in a month, his smile became even more beautiful.
When he got home, he opened the poster first. The moment he unfolded the poster, Chen Jun was stunned. The poster was painted in a warm color. The Monkey King, the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, was wearing a pair of cloud shoes made of lotus root silk. He was wearing a golden armor with chains on his body. He was wearing a crown with phoenix wings and purple gold on his head. He was holding the Golden-Hooped Cudgel in his hand. He looked very imposing and elegant. He looked into the distance with his hands clasped together. It was vivid and lifelike. Chen Jun felt like he was in love.
"This is a Great Sage, this is a Great Sage.”Chen Jun couldn't wait to stick the poster on the wall of the bedroom. Then, he eagerly opened the serial version of Journey to the West.
The style of the serials had become more detailed. Of course, the plot had also been adjusted appropriately, making it smoother.
Although the online version was not bad, it was more like Li Mu's draft. When he looked back, he would find that there were improvements or missing areas, so he perfected it in the serial version.
Of course, some of the characters had also changed. For example, the character Nüwa. Li Mu had drawn Nüwa's face based on the face of the ice mountain senior Ming Wushang. Although it was only a drawing and only a side profile, Li Mu felt that this version of Nüwa was better.
After reading the serial version, Chen Jun, who was still not satisfied, opened " Eastern Journey Record " again. However, after reading a few pages, he quickly frowned because the traces of imitation were too strong. Moreover, he was used to Li Mu's hearty storyboard. When he read " Eastern Journey Record " again, he felt very awkward.
