"I Level Up Alone" is animated. How can Chinese comics rise?

Japanese comic company A1 announced the production of the animation "I Level Up Alone". "I Level Up Alone" is not a Japanese comic but a Korean comic. Moreover, it is extremely popular abroad and is also somewhat famous in China.

Popular Korean comics such as "Tower of God", "The Great Noble" and "I Level Up Alone" have been animated one after another, which means that the traffic of Korean comics in the international market is increasing.

The rise of Chinese comics is bound to seize the international market. From the process of internationalization of Korean comics, we can find that Chinese comics can also become popular in the international market.

Let’s analyze it in detail below: You don’t have to stick to the ancient style, but you must be fashionable. Korean comics are popular in the international market. “The Great Noble” is a Western vampire theme, “Tower of God” is an imaginary world theme, and “I Level Up Alone”

It is an urban combat theme.

These comics and animations do not deliberately highlight Korean culture. Instead, they add some Korean elements to the hottest and most fashionable world view.

Domestic comics do not adhere to ancient styles, but domestic animations pursue ancient styles too much. As a result, the world view of domestic animations is not very popular in the international market.

Although the most popular overseas Chinese comics "The Demonic Patriarch" and "Tianguan Blessing" are both ancient-style themes, it does not mean that ancient-style Chinese comics are generally popular. Their popularity relies on "brotherhood", and not every Chinese comic is popular.

Comics like to cater to foreign girls.

It just so happens that "brotherhood" is a relatively fashionable selling point now, and girls at home and abroad love it very much.

In other words, "The Patriarch of the Demonic Way" and "Heavenly Official's Blessing" became popular because they captured the fashion points, and the ancient style was only the second reason.

The plot can be clichéd, but it needs to be remembered. The plot of "I Level Up Alone" is relatively clichéd, and it is a common urban system-style comic about killing monsters.

There are at least thousands of similar comics at home and abroad, so why is it so popular?

Because the graphics of "I Level Up Alone" are excellent, the monsters are oppressive, and the protagonist's fancy skills are well designed.

For humans, pictures are always easier to remember than storylines. We may not be able to remember the life experience of Robin in "One Piece", but we can easily recall world-famous paintings: "I want to live."

There are many domestic comics similar to "I Level Up Alone", and the routines are basically the same, but they cannot be popular abroad. On the one hand, many domestic comics are works of studios who make perfunctory drawings to make quick money.

The pursuit of memory points only pursues fast updates, that is, volume; on the other hand, designing characters, monsters, and skills is a high-threshold skill.

Just like when we think of "Under One Person", we automatically think of Sister Baoer. There are very few cartoonists like Mi Er who can create impressive characters.

Don’t be obsessed with being a god, do a good job in commercial animation. The fact that "Three Body" won the Nebula Award means that domestic science fiction has a masterpiece and has reached a certain height. But can we say that domestic science fiction animation, movies and TV series have risen?

The answer is no, because large-scale commercial science fiction has not yet become popular.

The same applies to Chinese comics. The OP of "My King, My Majesty, My Life" and "Luo Xiaohei Zhan Ji" once became popular overseas, but does it mean that Chinese comics have become an overseas hegemon?

No, because the highly commercialized Chinese comics have not yet become popular overseas.

The level of the comic "I Level Up Alone" is not close to that of a masterpiece, but it is a very successful commercial work. Most of the Korean comics that are popular overseas are commercial works, and they do not pursue any ideological or depth, nor do they seek more.

To have a cultural background is to follow the reader's preferences, draw whatever the reader likes, and then add some personal design.

If Chinese comics want to become popular in the international market, everyone does not need to have the idea of ????making a masterpiece that will amaze the world. It should be guided by readers' tastes like online articles. Make popular Chinese comics first, and then slowly think about the masterpieces.

Summary: The Korean comic "I Level Up Alone" became popular, and was favored by A1, the top Japanese comic company, for animation, which inspired Chinese comics to go abroad.

First of all, the world view of Chinese comics does not need to be limited to ancient fantasy. You can fictionalize a world view with a low cultural threshold, such as the parallel universe of "Super Beast Arms" and the game world of "The Adventures of Lolo"; secondly, Chinese comics must have their own distinctive characters,

Skills and monsters, etc. For example, the domestic panda emoticons are very unique, they are neither ancient nor fantasy; in the end, national comics must first produce commercial animations, and the most important thing is to be dazzling and fashionable.
