Chapter 74 Progress II

A comic discussion group spontaneously established by a reader.

"So, what the hell is this saying? Is Shedaiba dead?"

"Probably not! She's the heroine, how can this work go on when the heroine dies?"

"Have you forgotten? Didn't the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance chapter say it's over? So the author finished the work after drawing Shedaba to death. Is that what Mr. Shui Xin meant?"

"Didn't you say that a new chapter will be opened after the end of the reminiscence chapter? Xue Daiba has already made it clear that she is the heroine of this work. What will she draw in the new chapter when she dies? Could it be that Teacher Shui Xin wants to draw a junior?"

"Don't say it, it's disgusting to think about such a plot. If Xuedaiba really died, I'll be black all my life, and I'll never see all his works in the future."

"Do you think it's just the author's bad taste? Although in the last page of Chapter Thirteen, Xue Daiba helped Jianxin with a sword in front and was slashed by Jianxin in the back, but maybe she was just injured. What? The author didn't make it clear that she was dead!"

"Upstairs, do you think this is possible? Kenshin, the strongest monster swordsman in the Rurouni Kenshin Memories, and an enemy who can fight him for a short period of time, such two masters' desperate blows were all slashed at the bar. If Ba hadn't died on this ordinary woman, wouldn't these two be a joke?"

"The joke is just a joke, or it can be arranged as in the movie plot, the knife drawn as the frontal enemy is cut on jewelry, watches, etc., can't explain the plot that blocks the damage? "

"Anyway, with the pen in Shuixin's hand, he can draw whatever he wants."

"What about the sword on the reverse side of Kenshin?"

"Oh, why are you talking so much? Wouldn't it be okay to wear a string of gold and silver jewelry behind your back? Anyway, I really can't accept it if I die."

These people who discuss peacefully in the discussion group are still rational fans.

As for the irrational

The entrance of Cuttlefish Comics.

A group of fans gathered, holding up billboards.

Strongly opposed to Shui Xin painting Shedaba to death.

Shui Xin, you are just a manga artist, what do you know about the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance?

If Xuedaiba dies, I will no longer buy comics for my ten years of comics fans.

They didn't rush into the manga club, but the demonstration at the gate of the manga club still caused a lot of people to talk about it.

Soon, even on the official website of the Dragon Star Awards competition, these Los Angeles fans who bought the Manying Periodicals also spread the news that Xuedaiba was suspected of being killed by Shuixin to the comment area of ​​the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

It's still Friday, and the online comic fans who have to wait until Saturday to watch the latest episode of Rurouni Kenshin Memories on the official website of the Dragon Star Awards also exploded when they heard the news.

They can only hear the narration of the new episode by the fans in Luo Province, but just the content of the dictation makes them feel cold and cold.

Was slashed by Kenshin? He was also slashed by the uncle who wanted to kill Jianxin?

How is this still alive?

After all, in the previous plot, Jianxin kills cleanly, just like the killer Jianxin beheaded before Jianxin and Xuedaiba met for the first time.

By Kenshin's sword from head to toe

If the plot is really like this, how does Shedaba live?

Below the comment area, regardless of whether Shui Xin will read the comment area or not, anyway, many comic fans post.

Various requests to the author not to draw the dead snow deba.

Also sprayed.

He also threatened that if Shuixin painted Ba to death, he would use the identity information of family members and friends to register accounts for one-point evaluations in batches.

The plot of the thirteenth chapter of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance has made many comic fans of this work depressed for a whole day.

However, although Chu Yu, who was taking a leisurely class in the school, looked at the comments on the Internet on his mobile phone during class, he just glanced at it and ignored it.

The current situation is basically the same as what he predicted.

After all, this sentence is not only a coincidence out of context, but also the plot is too explosive.

A female protagonist, Xuedaiba, who spent the whole reminiscence chapter, died like this.

It is normal to be unacceptable.

But in the end it has to be accepted.

The thirteenth chapter just left a suspense. When the fourteenth and fifteenth chapters are serialized together next week, this suspense will also be broken.

After nearly three weeks of dissemination on the official website of the Dragon Star Awards, basically many netizens who like to come to this website to find comics and watch them already know the works of the Dragon Star Awards.

The most popular and most viewed work is the Fiery Feather by Zhang Yun, a cartoonist from Qin Province.

The work with the highest reader rating and the best reputation is the Rurouni Kenshin Memoirs by Los Angeles cartoonist Shui Xin.

From the first day of the competition, among so many works, the one with the highest fan value has always been Blazing Feather.

Now the fan value has reached 980,000.

It has to be said that this figure is quite exaggerated.

This means that nearly a million people are paying to watch this comic on the Internet.

As for the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, the increase in fan value this week is due to the fact that word of mouth is gradually fermenting. In the case that the growth rate of fan value of most works has slowed down, it actually bucked the trend and increased its growth rate. Weekly's more than 300,000 fans have risen to 600,000 fans this week, temporarily ranking fifth.

This is undoubtedly an explosive achievement for a comic born in Los Angeles.

One past midnight.

The update of the thirteenth chapter of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance has finally been uploaded.

Compared to usual, because there is a day to spread the news of Shedaba's suspected sacrifice on the Internet, and the network passers-by and fans who are attracted by this work all the time.

There is no doubt that the number of people waiting for this sentence has increased significantly compared with the previous two weeks. ;

Among those who waited late at night.

Naturally, there is Zhang Yun, the author of Blazing Feather.

After watching the latest episode.

He was bewildered.

What is this operation?

Where does anyone play like this?

You painted her to death as a popular character in the work, don't you know that this is a big poison for comic creation? If you do this, the popularity of the work will definitely decline, and if the fans are unhappy and maliciously give the work a low score, aren't you afraid that the comic score of this work will be lowered?

"Hahaha!" Zhang Yun's editor couldn't help laughing.

"Sure enough, I heard some of my friends in the comics industry in Los Angeles say that Shui Xin, the author of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories, is just a young man."

"Sure, too young." He shook his head.

"Contact the announcement of this work last week, and the work will be completed within two weeks."

The editor raised his head and looked at Zhang Yun.

"Combining this information, what can you think of?"

Zhang Yun took a deep breath and said.

"Damn!"

"That's right." Zhang Yun's editor said.

"It's not surprising for a young man to have an inspiration in his mind for a while, and come up with a work with a particularly attractive early story, but how can comics be so simple?"

"How many well-known cartoonists are just because they can't control the plot of the comics in the middle and late stages, their popularity plummeted after the unfinished ending, and the fans accumulated over the years were lost, and they have never recovered since then."

"As far as I know, Shui Xin is just a rookie cartoonist in Los Angeles, and it only took a few months to rise. After such a person drew the first half of the classic Rurouni Kenshin Memories, the plot collapsed. Well, it’s normal to not be able to finish.”

"Now it seems that Shui Xin should have noticed this long ago, so he hurriedly prepared to finish this work, and even drew the popular heroine to death in order to have some interesting plot at the end, in order to beat people. eyeball."

"But this is useless, the end result will only be counterproductive, readers have sharp eyes, look at it, the two chapters of this work will be published next week, and its accumulated reputation and high ratings will collapse. "

The editor looked at Zhang Yun.

"Although the final result is not out yet, I think we should be able to celebrate in advance."

"This time, the only variable in the selection of the Dragon Star Award is that I have lost myself. The rest of the works are nothing to worry about. We won."

Magic City, a high-rise in a certain community.

After Tang Xin read the serialization of the latest episode of Rurouni Kenshin on the Internet.

The mood can not calm down for a long time.

"Ba, dead."

Unlike those pure comic fans, those people still doubt the life and death of Xuedaiba, but as an excellent cartoonist in the magic capital, she can feel the context of this comic.

Bad end?

No, not right.

Tang Xin shook his head, usually there are signs of unfinished ends.

Although the plot of this work is not long, from the beginning to the present, the foreshadowing is a link.

At the beginning, the samurai killed by Kenshin is Ba's fiancé, the liaison between Kenshin and Gui is a traitor, and Ba approaches Kenshin for revenge.

If these things were not clearly conceived at the beginning, it would be impossible to draw them with a pen.

But since it has been clearly conceived, that means that Ba's death has been arranged a long time ago, not the plot that the author scribbled because the plot collapsed.

Shedaba was created so well in the early stage, and it was painted to death casually, so readers will definitely not buy it, and it will definitely be a bad review at that time.

But if such a plot can be handled well, it must be a plot that can earn fans' tears and make people feel moved.

Tang Xin sat and pondered for a long time, thinking about how if she was Shui Xin, how could such a plot be recognized by fans.

In the end, she gave up and couldn't think of it at all. In any case, Xuedaiba was created too well. No one would be willing to accept the death of such a person, even if it was to save Jianxin's death.

Although the ending of family fun is cliché, why everyone likes to use it, that is, there is no risk in such an ending. Although it is inevitable to complain a few words, it can be accepted immediately after complaining.

But if you have to do some strange plots, for example, let a popular heroine like Ba die

That is dancing on the tip of a knife, if you can't handle it, this work will collapse immediately.

Tang Xin sighed.

I hope Shui Xin can solve this problem with the plot of the last two episodes.

She is a very early fan of this work, and she really doesn't want this work to end up being scolded by individuals in the end.

Along with various rhythms, the work of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance finally ushered in a new week.

Two days before the end of the first round of the Dragon Star Awards.

This day, Friday, was the day when the fourteenth and fifteenth chapters of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories were published together.

Cuttlefish Comics has long been prepared to promote it throughout Los Angeles.

Streets and alleys, bus advertising spaces, bookstore poster positions, subways, and underground passage advertising spaces are all publicized.

He Jin walked into the bookstore and saw a promotional poster about Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance posted in the bookstore at a glance.

In the past few weeks, because of the publication of this comic, the sales of Manying have continued to rise. In many cases, if you go to buy late, this journal will basically be sold out.

Fortunately, He came in early. At this time, the office workers had not left work and the students had not finished school.

The stock in the bookstore has not reached the point where it is sold out.

However, in front of the counter of the bookstore He Jin entered, there was already a long queue. Among the queues, there were five or six out of ten, and all the books and periodicals they were going to pay for were Man Ying.

When He Jin returned home, he couldn't wait to open the cover, and turned the page directly to the serialized part of the Rurouni Kenshin Memoirs.

Comics don't sell.

In just a few pages, the final outcome of Shedaba is explained.

Shedaba, who was severely injured in the front and back, used a knife to cut a scar on Jianxin's face before she died, and crossed with the scar left on Jianxin's face by her fiancé before his death, forming a cross.

As she was dying, she just smiled and looked at Jian Xin and said.

I'm sorry. Husband.

He Jin suddenly seemed to understand the meaning of the injury.

The first wound was left by Xuedaiba's fiancé, which represented Jianxin's hatred for taking his life.

The second wound, left by Shedaba before his death, represents forgiveness and redemption.

It just fits the title of this section, the cross wound.

All of a sudden, He Jin's tears welled up, and his nose was a little sore.

But fortunately, as an adult, he still controls himself.

So, it has been confirmed that Shedaba is really dead.

In the past week, He Jin has also made many comments on the Internet, what would happen if Shuixin painted Shedaba to death.

But at this moment, he can't remember those things, but his emotions have been completely brought into the comics.

People who love anime are often very emotional and will be easily moved by these plots. Now, He Jin is in such a state.

Ba's death was drawn in just a few pages, and He Jin continued to read page after page of comics.

But inexplicably, he was a little irritable.

The next plot seems to be a little boring after Ba's death.

Under the conscription of Gui, Jianxin burned Ba's body and the house where the two lived in seclusion and returned to Kyoto.

Kenshin doesn't seem to have changed much from before.

The fifteenth chapter is the end of this work, but the whole story is about the battle between Kenshin and the enemy.

Although the battle scenes are wonderful and the storyboards are breathtaking, it is clear that such content is not what He Jin wants to watch.

Nor is it the ending of the Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance that he imagined.

But he was patient and ready to read it.

After all, before reading it, I went to the Internet to start spraying, some of which did not conform to the process.

Finally, the plot of Chapter 15 came to an end.

After the battle, Kenshin sat down and rested with a tired look on his face.

With his eyes closed, Kenshin was like an ordinary boy at the moment.

From behind him, someone hugged him.

On the next page of the comic, the picture is zoomed out, and Shedaba gently hugs him from behind.

The background of the picture is dim, and the white-clothed Seidelba hugs Kenshin, who seems to be asleep while sitting on the ground.

At this moment, Jian Xin's expression was so peaceful.

He Jin's hand trembled.

My heart trembled.

Something seemed to touch the heart.

Obviously, Shedaba embracing Kenshin is just a symbolic expression.

This scene represents that although she died, she gave Jianxin the spiritual strength, but still guarded Jianxin, so that Jianxin can go on even alone from now on.

Is this the end?

Is this the meaning of Shedaba's sacrifice?

If He Jin was able to hold back the scene of Shedaba's death before, but as soon as this scene came out, He Jin really couldn't help it.

Tears burst into my eyes all of a sudden.

(Another two chapters are updated together.)
