Is This Cartoonist Mentally Ill?

Chapter 370: The Influence of Parasyte and New Drawings

It's not bad to suppress "Protoss" and "True Dragon God's Choice".

You should know that "Protoss" has just finished the Black Moon Tide chapter, and it was not long ago that it resumed serialization and started serializing a new chapter, Odin's Deep.

"True Dragon God's Choice" is also an old background board. The current situation is that the overall plot is pretty good.

However, the plot of the three chapters in the past two years has been relatively slow, and its author, Mr. Ku Xuan, seems to have really run out of ideas. In recent years, "True Dragon God's Choice" has been repeating the routine of upgrading to defeat the opponent and then changing the map.

The same routine has been repeated more than a dozen times, which makes comic fans a little tired of it.

However, even so, the current sales and popularity of "True Dragon God's Choice" still make him earn enough, so let's repeat the routine, at least the popularity of the comic will not suddenly collapse, no matter how much the popularity collapses, it will always be stable in the top five every week.

It's better than suddenly coming up with a big wave for the sake of life, and then the popularity and reputation of the comic will directly fall to the bottom, and then it can only be forced to end, or be cut off.

That teacher Kuxuan also seemed to have little temper and desire because the popularity of "True Dragon Selection" had been suppressed by "Purple Air from the East".

"Purple Air from the East" is different. "Purple Air from the East" has recently reached the stage of the final episode. During this period, the comic industry and other partners have been promoting "Purple Air from the East", the originator of the long-running and popular cultivation comics.

During this period, it has been stable in popularity, and its dominant position is unshakable.

However, the final episode of "Parasyte" directly surpassed "Purple Air from the East", which is enough to make people feel amazing.

In fact, although "Parasyte" seems to be unpopular at ordinary times, the perfect landing of the final episode actually brings excellent reputation.

In addition, Lin Qingshan has accumulated a lot of fans for his previous comics, and the recent popularity of the movie "Edgewalker" has also brought Lin Qingshan a lot of popularity among passers-by.

Just like in Lin Qingshan's previous life, after "Jurassic Park" became popular, the sales of the original novel increased a lot.

Among them, Manjie Comics has launched a mobile software. As mobile phones are popular now, Manjie Comics has also launched a mobile version. At the same time, users who subscribe to comics on mobile phones can also get popularity tickets.

It used to cost more than 30 yuan to buy a paper magazine, and users of paper magazines can get five popularity tickets at a time.

It only costs 2 yuan to subscribe to a comic book, and you can also get a popularity ticket, so the popularity tickets on the mobile phone side are equivalent to one popularity ticket of a paper magazine.

But there are so many mobile users...

And Manjie Comics didn't notice a loophole, that is, you can get a popularity ticket for subscribing to a comic book, but it is not limited to the latest chapter to get a popularity ticket.

And magazine users basically bought magazines, and the popularity tickets were either used that week or they were too lazy to use them.

No one would buy more than a dozen magazines at once, and then get popularity tickets from the inside pages of the magazines to start voting.

Generally, people will only buy single volumes directly for some favorite comics, and will not buy past magazines.

But mobile users can read all the chapters of a comic book on their mobile phones in a week, subscribe to more than 100 chapters at a time, and then vote for more than 100 popularity votes at once.

In addition, mobile phones are too convenient, and some people may not buy magazines from the comic world because magazines cost more than 30 yuan a copy.

But reading magazines on mobile phones only costs 2 yuan per chapter, so you may try it.

Especially the popularity of the movie "Edgewalker" has caused everyone to pay attention to Lin Qingshan, whose latest work "Parasyte" has just been completed.

And comic fans have given "Parasyte" such good reviews on the Internet and software, so these passers-by came to watch "Parasyte", and of course they voted for "Parasyte" after reading the popularity votes.

It is precisely because of these factors that the popularity of "Parasyte" suddenly surpassed the previous fifth and fourth places, "True Dragon God Selection", "Protoss" and even "Purple Air Coming from the East" from the usual sixth place to the top!

But everyone did not have much doubt about the popularity of "Parasyte" to the top.

Because "Parasyte" can really be regarded as a masterpiece of a generation. It is not very popular at ordinary times, but its quality and reputation are good.

It's like you are looking at a child who is usually very hardworking and diligent, and has always been a good person, but his grades have always been mediocre.

But he suddenly got the first place in the class in the final exam. You may be a little surprised, but you are definitely not surprised, let alone questioning whether the child cheated or did something else.

In this way, "Parasyte" was successfully completed with both popularity and reputation.

Lin Qingshan and the comic fans in the Republic did not know that the comic "Parasyte" was just a simple word-of-mouth in the Republic, and did not cause much disturbance.

But in Europe and the United States...

With the appearance of the final episode of the comic "Parasyte", coupled with the heat diversion of the movie "Edgewalker", the public opinion there was once again in an uproar.

“Animals also have the right to survive! Humans are parasites that live on the earth!”

“Give animals rights! Oppose meat-eating and killing!”

“As the most intelligent creatures, humans must consider more!”

“Stop killing innocent lives!”

“How many more species will be extinct before we acknowledge our atrocities?!”

On the street, a large number of members of the Animal Protection Association and environmentalists formed a huge team and demonstrated loudly and loudly.

This time it really has something to do with Lin Qingshan.

Different from the previous demonstration under the name of "Edge Walker", the essence was that workers demanded higher wages and benefits from major companies. "Edge Walker" just happened to be included.

This time it was actually caused by Lin Qingshan's latest completed comic "Parasite".

After all, "Parasite" is an environmentally-themed comic. Although it contains thoughts about human nature and life, it mainly advocates protecting the environment, but it just points out the true meaning of environmental protection——

It is not to protect the earth, nor to protect other living things. What we really want to protect is human beings themselves.

But this is also in line with the correct proposition of Europe and the United States.

In Europe and the United States, the environmental and animal rights issues are fierce. It is common to see some people either naked and painted, and performing performance art parades on the streets.

Or they use glue to stick themselves to the road, making it impossible for car drivers to pass normally.

Or they directly form a group to "rob" farms, animal slaughtering plants, and vehicles transporting poultry and livestock, and force the other party to release the animals inside.

The comic "Parasite" happens to be about environmental protection, and it was drawn by Aoyama, the original author of the recently popular "Edgewalker" movie.

Due to this celebrity effect, many environmentalists and animal rights activists came here to watch "Parasite".

After reading it, they were immediately shocked.

yes! That's it! This comic is right, humans are the parasitic beasts on the earth!

What qualifications do humans have to decide the lives of other creatures?

This is simply not right!

We are all living beings living on the earth. Even as the spirit of all things, humans cannot decide the life and death of other creatures at will.

And as the spirit of all things, how can we only focus on the reproduction of our own group? The species that is truly the spirit of all things should shoulder the responsibility of protecting the earth and protecting other species!

However, they subconsciously ignored other intentions in "Parasite". For example, humans only protect the environment to protect their own tribe. Like Hou Teng, who threatens humans and the survival of the male protagonist and his family, the male protagonist finally responds simply and neatly. Killed.

Therefore, for the sake of the reproduction of the human race, although humans do not dare to destroy the environment and kill lives indiscriminately, it is completely right to use it as food.

It's just that people generally only see what they want to see, and the same is true for environmentalists in Europe and the United States.

From their perspective, they only saw those ideas and plots in "Parasite" that were in line with their ideas, and they would never think of those things that were not in line with their ideas.

Just like the BBC's reports, they will only report what they want to report, and as for other things...

What?

Where?

Why did my camera suddenly break? The lens was repaired and turned gray.

However, although environmentalists cannot see the ideas of "Parasite", they still regard "Parasite" as a "missionary" masterpiece.

That is to show "Parasite" to some newcomers and passers-by, and then say, "Look, do you think this comic makes sense?"

Then a group of people were gathered to march.

Facing this beautiful scenery, the American people are also used to it.

Chris Nolan, the world-famous director who recently became popular again with the movie "Edgewalker" and is riding the Vanity Fair in Hollywood, is currently upstairs in his home watching the parade outside and drinking coffee leisurely.

Needless to say, the movie "Edge Walker" hit a domestic box office of 360 million in its first week, and the Republic also created a first-week box office of almost 200 million US dollars.

And the current reputation has not collapsed. Now that the "Edge Walker" movie has won the first place in the box office of this movie, there is basically no suspense.

The only suspense left is...whether the "Edgewalker" movie has a chance to hit the record of nearly $2.8 billion in global box office set by "Avatar" two years ago.

Now the media and many filmmakers maintain their belief that the "Edgewalker" movie has the potential to hit the global box office record of US$2.8 billion.

After all, the current popularity of the "Edge Walker" movie is really overwhelming, and the global movie market two years later has expanded a lot compared to two years ago.

It's really hard to say whether "Edgewalker" can surpass the box office record of "Avatar" with the advantage of market expansion.

But Nolan is not panicking at all. Even if "Edgewalker" cannot surpass the record of "Avatar", it is enough to add another highlight to his film resume.

As far as the record of the "Edge Walker" movie is concerned, it is certain to enter the billion-dollar box office club, and it is definitely not a shame if it cannot compare to "Avatar".

With the popularity of the "Edge Walker" movie, WB Films has also made up its mind to launch the Qingshan comic adaptation plan!

""Parasite"... It seems to be quite popular, and the plot is also very good."

Nolan watched the final chapter of "Parasite" with his mobile phone and said in agreement, "But it's not suitable for making movies."

He also had no interest in "Parasite", and then he actually wanted to make an interstellar movie related to black holes.

This idea actually came to him before the filming of the "Edgewalker" movie was confirmed.

But Edgewalker is so attractive. The cyberpunk theme, plot and setting of Edgewalker all make Nolan excited.

So he decided to shoot Edgewalker first.

But now Edgewalker has been released and it is also a hit, so he has nothing to worry about.

Then he will prepare to shoot the movie about interstellar travel and black holes that he has been thinking about for a long time.

But just at this moment...

"Ding-ling-ling--"

Nolan's cell phone rang, and he took a look. It was... the current president of WB Films.

He picked up the phone casually, "Well, this is Chris."

...

What happened in Europe and the United States was soon known to the people of the Republic through the way of moving videos.

Everyone also happily ate melons and played a wave of memes again, all because of Qingshan the old thief!

At this time, Lin Qingshan completed the first three drafts of "The Tao Weiyixian".

He first went to find Ito Ayumi with the draft full of confidence. In fact, although Ito Ayumi is still his editor-in-charge.

But in fact, Lin Qingshan's new works are basically handed over to the editor-in-chief Yang Dahai for review.

Lin Qingshan's current status and weight are terrifying, and Ito Ayumi basically does not interfere with his comic creation.

"Teacher Qingshan."

Ito Ayumi saw Lin Qingshan, and then saw the briefcase in his hand, and said, "Is this the new work you said?"

"Yes... Haha, Ayumi, do you want to take a look first?"

Lin Qingshan said with a smile.

"Sure... The editor-in-chief seems to be in a remote meeting now."

Ito Ayumi nodded immediately and said, "Then I'll take a look first."

Then she carefully took out the draft of "Dao Wei Yi Xian", and she felt a little strange when she saw the name.

But when she turned to the first page and saw the ancient style of painting, her eyes immediately lit up.

Although the picture seems a little weird, a handsome boy in rough cloth is in a damp and cold cave, and there are many people like him around him.

It's just that those people seem a little strange... Some have broken legs, some are covered with black hair, and the white-haired girl is not so abnormal.

After all, the people of the Republic are all white-haired, so it is normal to have white-haired characters.

But the first original painting of the comic manuscript, the Chinese style is really beautiful.

People in the Republic love this style.

"This new style... the teacher draws it really well!"

Ito Ayumi first praised it, and then read the comic plot.

Then the handsome boy at the beginning also revealed his name as Li Huowang after a quarrel for a girl. It is obvious that this handsome boy is the protagonist.

Li Huowang?

What a name with a period style...

At least it must be the Republic of the last century that names with the word "Wang" would be given.

Ito Ayumi thought a little strangely, but this doubt did not stop her, and she continued to read.

As a result, the next plot was that the protagonist and a woman with a crooked mouth and drooling, who was called Sister Wang, were called to the "master" by a Taoist priest wearing a green Taoist robe.

The master also looked very evil. Although he was a Taoist priest, Ito Ayumi felt more like a bandit who burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil.

Then it turned out that... the master threw Sister Wang into a half-person-high stone urn. The master had a hideous face and directly smashed Sister Wang into a pool of blood and flesh with a huge medicine pounding stick.

As the "master" in the comics, who now has a more terrifying image, shouted "Start the furnace, make the elixir!".

Two Taoist children with exaggerated blush walked out of the shadows, fanning the air while pouring various condiments into the elixir furnace, including various gold and stone powders and many living and crawling things.

This is not alchemy! It's simply cannibalism! Ayumi Ito really felt that she had goosebumps.

Suddenly, the next comic manuscript changed the scene. The original "alchemy room" turned into a bright, clean and fresh ward.

The protagonist Li Huowang, who was being questioned by the old Taoist priest who was refining "human elixir", also changed his clothes and was tied to the bed with restraints.

Then she finished reading the first chapter of the draft.

"Is this... a mental hospital?!"

Ayumi Ito blinked, her face full of confusion.
