Chapter 819 "Journey to the West" comics online
It is impossible to see each other next year. If Lin Fan wants to leave, he has to wait until "National Treasure" is released.
As for now, Lin Fan promised Yang Hongxia that he would take advantage of the free time before the National Day to put the new comics online, so he should finish this matter first.
So, after posting a dynamic for the promotion of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" last time, Lin Fan once again used his own Weibo account as an advertisement: [Lin Fan: The new comic "Journey to the West" will be launched on the Penguin platform soon, so stay tuned! ]
Less than a minute after the post was published, the comment section under Lin Fanxin’s post was flooded with enthusiastic fans.
[Born to be Entertainment King: The new comic is finally online! I thought you had forgotten your Penguin Comics account! ]
[Meng Meng Rabbit: Is the new comic called "Journey to the West"? It feels so grand! The characters that Fanfan announced before are finalized. I like Erlang Shen the most. Fanfan must give Erlang Shen more opportunities to appear! ]
[Bare-handed Durian: Hahaha, isn't the point that Fanfan made his super blog account look like a billboard? The movie is about to be released, please look forward to it, the TV series is about to be broadcast, please look forward to it, and now the new comics are about to be released, please look forward to it. Fanfan, the copywriting of your studio is not good, can't you use one more word? ]
…
Not only was Lin Fan's personal account bustling with activity, Penguin Comics was also jubilant.
It’s not that comic fans are looking forward to Lin Fan’s new work. After all, Lin Fan’s previous works were all short stories, with only "Legend of White Snake" being slightly longer. But compared with those series during his lifetime, they are not good enough.
Moreover, although the three works released by Lin Fan before attracted many comic fans, they still cannot be compared with the real comic masters.
Especially since it has been such a long time since Lin Fan released his fourth work, most of the comic fans who originally gathered because they liked Lin Fan's painting style and works have also left.
After all, there are so many works on comic websites, why do you have to stick to just one?
But comic fans are still very excited! Because Lin Fan released a new comic = it will be made into a movie = a large number of fans will arrive at the comic website = a large wave of traffic and popularity is on the way!
The traffic and popularity brought by Lin Fan are commonplace for Lin Fan himself, but for the comic website, other cartoonists on the website, and comic fans, it is a godsend!
With more traffic and popularity, the website's exposure will also increase, and the cartoonists and their works on the website will also benefit. Maybe their works will be liked by Lin Fan's fans? Maybe because of the rising popularity, an animation company will contact them and make their works into cartoons for broadcast? Even if none of these happen, it will attract more people to read comics. As long as the popularity is raised, everything will be available in the future! At the very least, you can take advantage of Lin Fan's popularity and brag to your friends and family: "Lin Fan and I both publish our works on the same platform!"
If you are even more shameless, you can add: "Lin Fan's works are not as popular/view index/recommended votes/monthly votes as mine!"
In short, Lin Fan's arrival, like a catfish effect, has set off a wave of enthusiasm for the online comics platform that was originally tending to be calm and internally competitive.
Regardless of whether they are the target group of the comic platform, whether they like reading comics or not, and whether they are Lin Fan's fans or not, everyone's attention is inevitably directed to the Penguin Comics platform and to the new comic that Lin Fan is about to release.
This time, Lin Fan still chose to upload full-color comics. Although full color is time-consuming, Lin Fan is still willing to spend this time to color each picture.
This is not just Lin Fan's dedication to "Journey to the West", but also to lay a solid foundation for future animated films. Therefore, Lin Fan will do his best to do anything that can enhance the fans' and comic fans' favorability towards this work.
Of course, it can also delay the update time.
It's full color, and coloring is very time-consuming, so I will occasionally delay updating. Fans will definitely understand!
As for what I can’t understand, then I don’t need to understand you.
Lin Fan made up his mind and uploaded the updates for this week to the Penguin platform backend, then set up scheduled updates. As for other matters, he left it to the platform and Yang Hongxia to handle.
…
The person in charge of the Penguin platform almost thought that Lin Fan would never draw comics again. After all, compared to spending several months to make a movie and earning billions at the box office after it was released, the money earned from drawing comics, which is a time-consuming and laborious job, is really not worth mentioning.
If I were in his shoes, I would not waste my time drawing comics and leave billions of dollars unearned.
Unless this comic will eventually be made into a movie and make billions.
Therefore, even though Lin Fan has not produced any new works for such a long time and has not shown any intention of continuing to draw comics, the Penguin platform still treats Lin Fan as a great god.
Look, as Lin Fan keeps updating, the great artist has brought traffic and popularity! And this time the work is a medium-length novel! The kind that is serialized! Updated once a week! This is long-term traffic. As long as Lin Fan keeps updating, as long as Lin Fan is still so popular, the Penguin platform and other artists on the platform can benefit from it!
So no matter what Yang Hongxia asked for, as long as it was doable, Penguin Platform agreed to it. Moreover, Yang Hongxia had always been very sharp-sighted, and her requests were often accurate and on the bottom line, which would not embarrass Penguin Platform and would also maximize her own interests.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There is no reason for Penguin Platform to refuse.
It can be said that the two parties hit it off immediately, cooperated happily, and quickly finalized a publicity plan. Then, overnight, the news that Lin Fan’s new comic "Journey to the West" was about to be launched filled all of Penguin’s publicity channels.
Even pure comic fans who don’t care about these things were shocked by Penguin’s generosity, and became more interested in Lin Fan’s new work.
So when the day came when "Journey to the West" was officially released, countless fans and comic fans got up early with their phones in hand and waited, just to be the first to see this work.
At exactly midnight, Lin Fan’s collection of works on the Penguin platform was refreshed with "Journey to the West" on time. In a flash, many fans and comic enthusiasts clicked and opened it with the same intention!
Then a magnificent scene appeared in front of everyone: the boundless sea, a high mountain standing on the blue seashore, red cliffs, strange rocks, steep cliffs and peaks. On the red cliffs, two colorful phoenixes were singing; in front of the steep cliffs, a unicorn was lying alone.
It’s like a paradise on earth!
