Chapter 216 The Soulless "Masked Rider" IP (3K)
At the same time, Lin Qingshan finished his character drawings, character dialogue sketches and rough sketches for episode 52, and then gave the drawings to three assistants.
"Then I'll leave it to you. The plot is like this..."
Lin Qingshan said with a smile, "...In the end, Denci didn't wait for Reese, and ate the flowers in front of Pava!"
The three assistants finished reading the drawings and listened to Lin Qingshan's elaboration of the plot, and were shocked.
"Teacher... Was Reese killed like this?"
Wu Shiqing held the drawing of Reese being killed. Reese lay powerlessly in a pool of blood splattered by her blood. Next to her was Denci sitting in a coffee shop waiting for her. There was also Lin Qingshan's last words written in small characters on it -
"Actually, I didn't go to school either."
This sentence, combined with the plot, was so sharp that it broke people's defense.
Wu Shiqing's black-framed glasses were fogged up, and she had some difficulty controlling her emotions.
"Yes, Reese can only have such an ending."
Lin Qingshan said with some regret.
He couldn't do anything about it, after all, this was the original plot.
And this is the only way to elevate the character of Reese.
"Teacher..."
Akutami Yuta was a little bit overwhelmed, and said with mixed feelings, "Your plot arrangement is really as unexpected as always..."
"It's to make everyone unexpected."
Lin Qingshan blinked and said, "In this way, everyone will be unprepared and be incited by the plot!"
"Well... Teacher said this before."
Akutami Yuta took a deep breath and said, "Yes, this is what a professional cartoonist should do. Only a sudden plot can make everyone unprepared and be touched by the plot of the comics."
Chen Chunqiang took the tissue and handed it to Wu Shiqing at this time, saying, "Okay, okay, we are going to start the next work."
Wu Shiqing was also touched by Reese's unexpected inner monologue at this time, which touched the softest part of her heart, so she was a little out of control.
Now she also took a few tissues and calmed down a little.
"Sorry, teacher..."
Wu Shiqing took the draft and said apologetically, "I will continue working now."
Lin Qingshan gave a thumbs up and said, "Very good, keep going, everyone!"
Wu Shiqing and the other two immediately started their work, and just when Lin Qingshan was about to slack off and read other comics on C Station...
"Dinglingling——"
The doorbell rang, and Lin Qingshan was stunned for a moment, but he still got up and opened the door.
After opening the door, he looked at Ito Ayumi outside the door, and suddenly realized, and said, "Ayumi, it's you."
"Teacher, I'm sorry to bother you."
Ito Ayumi walked into the apartment and said apologetically.
"Ms. Ito."
Wu Shiqing and the other two also hurriedly greeted Ito Ayumi.
"Sorry to bother everyone."
Ito Ayumi also responded together.
"So Ayumi, do you have anything to do this time?"
Lin Qingshan asked curiously.
As mentioned before, Ito Ayumi would not come to him during working hours unless there was something to do.
Especially with Ito Ayumi's embarrassed look, it is basically certain that she came to him for something.
"Teacher, are you busy with work recently?"
Ito Ayumi did not say what it was at the beginning, but asked tentatively.
"I'm not busy recently."
Lin Qingshan said with a smile, "You see, I'm so idle recently. With Shiqing, Haruyoshi, and Yuta, they are getting better and better. I don't need to come here by myself anymore, so of course I have a lot of free time."
At first, I might have thought that Wu Shiqing and the other three were not familiar with the work, so Lin Qingshan needed to teach them.
Especially for the coloring work of "Chainsaw Man", Wu Shiqing's coloring skills are already very good, but that is only the coloring with regular pigments.
Lin Qingshan has the coloring ability of [Color Atlas (Gold)], and can use mixed pigments to mix many "advanced colors" to color "Chainsaw Man".
But Wu Shiqing doesn't have a system, so Lin Qingshan needs to teach him.
Although it was difficult at the beginning, Wu Shiqing became quite skilled later.
And she also learned something, which made her very happy.
After Wu Shiqing was able to complete the coloring work independently, Lin Qingshan began to completely give up.
He now draws a comic sketch and portraits of important characters, and designs dialogues.
The other work is all done by three assistants. Of course, he has been much freer recently.
In fact, he was free to begin with, and now he is even freer. He only works for more than ten hours a week, and the rest is basically watching Wu Shiqing and others work.
"Then..."
Ito Ayumi is still hesitating.
She actually doesn't want to disturb Lin Qingshan in her heart. After all, what is the virtue of that small IP in her hometown that allows the teacher to use his free time to be a scriptwriter for them.
Lin Qingshan is a well-known young cartoonist who is currently in the hottest position in the comics industry!
Even if he is a scriptwriter, he is an animation screenwriter for some well-known IPs or some large-scale productions of large animation companies.
How can a small special effects film like yours that is only famous in a small place be worthy of hiring Lin Qingshan as a scriptwriter?
But... Ito Ayumi didn't know how to refuse the request from her middle school classmates, especially since they gave her parents a lot of gifts.
Especially since they just asked her to talk to Lin Qingshan, and didn't ask for it to be done.
So Ito Ayumi's attitude was a little better.
But when she got to Lin Qingshan, she still felt a little embarrassed.
"Ayumi, just say it."
Lin Qingshan was a little surprised, after all, he rarely saw Ito Ayumi so embarrassed.
But he still comforted her.
Ito Ayumi gritted her teeth and said directly, "Actually... it's like this, a middle school classmate from my hometown found me and wanted to invite you to be the screenwriter of their next work."
"Oh..."
Hearing this, Lin Qingshan suddenly realized and said, "Is that the case? So Ayumi, you are so embarrassed?"
"But it's a pity..."
He shook his head and said, "I don't have the heart to be an animation screenwriter now..."
Lin Qingshan was not interested and didn't want to add more work to himself.
"Okay then."
Hearing Lin Qingshan's refusal, Ito Ayumi was relieved.
If Lin Qingshan refused cleanly, then she would have no choice.
"The most important thing is that they are not making animations, but special effects films."
Ito Ayumi said with a smile, "So it is reasonable for the teacher to refuse."
But when she said the word "special effects film", Lin Qingshan was stunned.
"Special effects film?"
Lin Qingshan blinked, looked up at Ito Ayumi, and asked, "What special effects film is it?"
"A series of special effects films shot by a small company in our hometown."
Ito Ayumi was stunned for a moment, but still said honestly, "It is said that it was popular for a while before, but it has not been very popular since I was a child. Only some loyal fans in my hometown are still supporting it. It's called... "Kamen Rider."
"What? Kamen Rider?"
Ito Ayumi immediately saw Lin Qingshan stunned for a moment, and then soon his eyes were filled with strong interest.
"Yes... Kamen Rider..."
Ayumi Ito nodded cautiously and said, "Why... Teacher, have you seen it?"
"Of course I have."
Lin Qingshan said with interest, "But that small company... is it called Toei?"
"Yes."
Ayumi Ito nodded and replied.
"It was popular for a while before, but it's not popular now?"
Lin Qingshan suddenly became curious and said, "I'll go check what's going on first."
In his previous life, he was also half a knight fan, at least he had a good impression of those old Kamen Riders that were very good.
After crossing to this world, the IP of Ultraman still exists in this world, and it is still very popular.
It's just that the IP of Kamen Rider has basically never been heard of.
Lin Qingshan thought it was a difference in the parallel world, and the IP of Kamen Rider was directly corrected.
Unexpectedly, he heard from Ayumi Ito that the IP of Kamen Rider still exists.
But... why is Kamen Rider not popular in the parallel world, and even Aoi has fallen to the level of a "small company" in the words of Ayumi Ito?
Lin Qingshan was very curious, sitting in front of the computer and began to search for Kamen Rider in this parallel world.
The original work of Kamen Rider is still Mr. Ishimori, which has hardly changed.
And the development in the last century has been good, but the stereotyped style and story of Kamen Rider make people feel boring.
So they experienced a period of downturn in the middle, until...
Kamen Rider made a brand new story of Kuuga and Agito, and Kamen Rider became popular again.
But after that, until now, Kamen Rider's works have returned to the vicious circle of the last century.
It's just that this vicious circle has changed from the traditional stereotyped plot setting of Kamen Rider to the stereotyped plot setting of Kuuga and Agito...
What's going on...
Suddenly, Lin Qingshan noticed something, that is...
"Kamen Rider Ryuki", this unique knight battle work did not appear immediately after "Kamen Rider Agito"!
So the subsequent works of "Kamen Rider" have also continued the plot of Kuuga and Agito, the righteous knight fighting monsters.
Although there are innovations in the suits and settings, the knight battle segment that was very good to watch and must be tasted in the previous life of Kamen Rider is completely missing.
Kamen Rider is always righteous and will not be confused, which is a bit fake and empty.
So the IP of "Kamen Rider" will inevitably fall into decline.
"I see."
Lin Qingshan suddenly realized that this is the reason why the Kamen Rider IP declined in this parallel world...
