I don’t know if the majority of Chinese comic fans have discovered that the development path of the Chinese comic industry is rugged and changeable, but sometimes there are traces to be found.
Before 2010, Chinese comic works were basically broadcast on TV. At that time, Zisuo was the benchmark in the Chinese comic industry and the road that Chinese comics should have. Typical of them are Super Beast Armed Adventures of Lolo's Three Kingdoms Romance Legend of the Rainbow Cat Blue Rabbit Seven Heroes, etc.
What after 2010? As a large number of Japanese, European and American animations entered the domestic market, our domestic animation development became stagnant. At this time, we had to start a transformation represented by Xuanji Company. began to turn to online playback and tried to find a new way out. It was also at this time that Chinese comics got rid of the supply direction and began to become adult.
Facts have proved that this path is right. Unfortunately, Lan Arc Company, which has been armed by the super beast, insisted on playing TV and fell behind. By the time of discovery, it was too late, and it was abandoned by the times.
Then in 2018, with the emergence of a work, it marked the turning point of the Chinese comic, that is, Douluo Continent. This anime was adapted from the novel of the same name and became popular as soon as it appeared. even became popular in the TV series. It was also because it became the first Chinese comic New Year series because it was too popular, and thus opened the era of Chinese comic New Year series.
After this work, many people saw hope, so Chinese comics appeared one after another. It can be said that after 2018, Chinese comics have truly entered a period of rapid development. Until now, Chinese comics have released hundreds of animations every year on average, and many excellent Chinese comics have emerged, such as the spiritual cage bad man Wushan Five Elements Mortals Cultivation Legend of Immortals and Fighting Break the Sky Dali Temple Diary, etc.
1, Chinese comics enter the fourth stage mode
But now I find that the Chinese comics industry has entered the fourth stage mode. If the first stage mode is a sub-supply direction, the second stage mode is to go online and adult, and the third stage mode is to start the Chinese comics annual series and enter a period of rapid development, then I think the fourth stage mode is the fluctuation period of Chinese comics.
In my personal opinion, although there are many works emerging in the Chinese comics world now, they are in quantity but not quality. A large number of works are adapted from online literature or comic games. Most of these works in are similar, and homogeneity can be said to be very serious, but they appear in large numbers, such as the stars turning into swallowing the stars and the Douluo Continent and Douluo Continent breaking the perfect world of the sky, etc., then there will be problems.
This is not the normal development model of Chinese comics. The normal development model of Chinese comics should be evenly matched by adaptation and originality. It should be endless originality, and there are successors. But looking at the current Chinese comic industry, there can be said to be pitiful. Chinese comics practitioners urgently need to change now, and change the situation where people are doing adaptations in groups.
If the main adaptation continues and the original creation is neglected and few people do it, it will lead to the development of the Chinese comics industry becoming deformed. In fact, in my personal opinion, it has become deformed now, and original creation is being strangled bit by bit, and adaptation is popular.
This leads to a serious consequence, that is, the people in front make a lot of money, but the people in behind have no food to eat. Some people here may not believe it and will say that I am exaggerating, but it is not. I wonder if you have heard of a noun in the Chinese comic industry? This is how Chinese comics are now.
The so-called limit for chasing the anime arc is the limit that the market allows the people to chase the anime. In the past, when there were not many Chinese comics, colleagues could live in peace and even get along well. The audience could not watch much, so everyone made a profit.
But what about now? In 2021 alone, 143 domestic comics have emerged, and many people can no longer catch up. The limit of chasing the movie can be seen by the naked eye. Many people are chasing six or seven movies at the same time. With the emergence of the episode, most of them are adapted from large IPs, and they are constantly updated every week, so the latecomers will be miserable.
2. Unless there are two types of works after 2023, it is difficult to have any works become popular
The current situation is that the people in the front have made a lot of money, especially those domestic comic companies that produce the New Year series.They took the lead in occupying the market, attracted audiences with the New Year's episode, and then kept making the audience develop the habit of chasing the episode. Once the habit is developed, it will be terrible. Even if the plot is not done well, the quality will decline significantly, but many people will still be used to watching it.
This has led to the great disadvantage of the Chinese comics that were broadcasted at the same time, because many people no longer have so much energy. Take a certain goose video for example. There are four episodes of the Chinese Man series, namely the perfect world of Douluo Continent and the devouring of the stars.
The four annual series each occupy a renewal day. What should many people do after watching the annual series and develop the habit of chasing the episodes every week? Maybe someone will go and have a look, but don’t forget that human energy is limited.
After so many years of episodes, after 2023, unless the quality is really top-notch or adapted from a big IP, the subsequent animation playback volume will be difficult to become popular, and the playback volume will not be much higher. Because since the New Year era, many people have been following this work, so they are likely to keep following it.
. People have limited energy, and I'm afraid they don't have that much energy to follow too many works of the same period in succession. This will take both energy and time-consuming. Therefore, after 2023, unless there are two types, it will be difficult for domestic comics to become popular.
So that’s all about today, what do you think about ? Discussions and comments are welcome.
