Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

Feng Yiyuan looked at the comic magazine in his hand at the backs of Quanxinyi and Xiaoyou walking home.

As a middle-aged two-dimensional person, he prefers paper comics, mainly out of habit.

Habits last throughout a person's life. A heavy rain when he was young will make him feel that the rain is still falling until he gets older.

He thought for a long time, and then said with emotion, "It's a very profound thought, and Qingshan's control over the plot is really strong."

The plot of this chapter has twists and turns, but each turning point is unexpected by comic fans, but if you think about it carefully, you can understand the changes in the plot, which is reasonable.

This level of control over the plot is definitely very high.

Some creators like to have a twist in the plot, but the twist is quite blunt, and fans cannot understand the purpose of this twist at all. Instead, it will attract huge ridicule and abuse.

Therefore, the plot twist does not test the creator's ability to control the plot.

If you write it well, it will naturally be applauded and praised by everyone.

If it is not written well, it will lead to a collapse of reputation and popularity.

This doesn't even have anything to do with the original popularity and reputation of the creator. No matter how good the popularity and reputation are at the beginning, if the plot turns a little bit blunt later, it will lead to an unprecedented collapse.

Therefore, many creators actually dare not engage in creations with twists and turns in the plot that require extremely high plot control capabilities.

But Feng Yiyuan discovered that Lin Qingshan's works are full of plot twists like this.

This time "Parasite" has a plot twist that can be called a god, so he personally posted a blog post praising Lin Qingshan and "Parasite".

Ning Zhizhu said in agreement, "Originally, I saw that everyone didn't think highly of "Parasite". In addition, this comic is not very similar to the style of Mr. Aoyama's past works, so I thought it was just a random creation by Mr. Aoyama. Where is the work..."

He continued with emotion, "Now it seems that this is not his casual work. It should be his most carefully prepared and serious work, even like... showing off his skills."

"yes……"

Feng Yiyuan was silent for a while, nodded again, and said, "It's like showing off his skills... There is no very special setting like "Edge Walker", nor is there any unexpected things like "Fist of Fire", even It's not like "Chainsaw Man", which is filled with a lot of death exits. It's a straightforward story, using narrative techniques and strong plot control capabilities to perfectly present a story in front of everyone."

Just like a martial arts master, he said that he didn't need his dragon-slaying sword or deep internal strength, but could defeat his opponent just by relying on his martial arts moves and combat experience.

This is indeed a show off of skills.

Every move he makes seems ordinary, but in fact every move is filled with absolute confidence in himself.

If Lin Qingshan knew, he would probably say... That was really a misunderstanding.

He is a literary copyist. Although he cut out some unnecessary pages in "Parasite" due to laziness, he did copy the original work.

And what to say about the original work, it doesn’t mean to show off your skills.

Although Mr. Yan Mingjun is indeed very good at plot control, he himself probably has no idea of ​​showing off his skills.

The same goes for the animation production team who later adapted the animation.

The one who really wants to show off his skills is Hajime Isayama, the author of Giant.

His narrative techniques and plot arrangements are indeed so abnormal that it gives people the feeling that he is just showing off his skills.

"I'm really looking forward to what surprises his new work "The Strange Fairy" will bring to me..."

Feng Yiyuan naturally doesn't know, but he is already looking forward to Lin Qingshan's new comic book "The Weird Immortal".

It feels like the theme of cultivation comics has come to an end. He also likes reading comics, but over the years, he has basically been unable to produce good works on the same subject.

This made him feel a little helpless.

In particular, the comics with the theme of cultivation are closely related to the ancient civilization and culture of the Republic. He also hopes to use this to continue to promote the ancient culture of the Republic.

"Purple Air Coming from the East" has actually done quite well.

Just like Lin Qingshan's previous life, Japan's ACG culture pushed its country's food, samurai, ninja and other cultural elements beyond its borders.

In this parallel world, "Purple Air Coming from the East" created by Feng Yiyuan also pushed the Taoist culture, Taoist priests, gods and Buddhas, the three views of the Republic and other republican culture beyond the national borders.

Many foreigners in this parallel world have also developed a strong interest in the Taoist holy land in the Republic because of the comic "Purple Air Coming from the East", and the tourism GDP generated every year is very high.

This is cultural promotion. Comics, novels, TV series, and movies will all be of great help to the cultural promotion of the country.

However, except for "Purple Energy Comes from the East" and several early comic books on cultivation themes, later, especially among today's new generation, it seems that there is no longer an excellent comic that can serve as the main force.

Therefore, Feng Yiyuan continues to hope that there will be another rising star in comics with the theme of cultivation, and he will continue to promote his country's culture.

Lin Qingshan...in his eyes, he is a very outstanding junior.

His painting ability, innovation ability, and control over the plot are all extremely outstanding.

Feng Yiyuan believes that Lin Qingshan is definitely capable of standing up and helping him take over the task of raising this banner!

…

In Lin Qingshan's apartment.

It's just that Wu Shiqing and Chen Chunqiang were a little numb at this time. They looked at Lin Qingshan's drawings, which showed a strange humanoid monster.

The body under the monster's neck was wearing a very serious Taoist priest's uniform, but above the neck, there was... an ugly head split open, and three big fleshy mouths stretched out from it, with three more fleshy mouths also nested inside. Four small mouths, full of disgusting yellow teeth, were entangled with each other and opened wide at the top.

At the same time, the feathers stuck to Shen Ou's asphalt were like spikes, as if they had been forced out of the flesh.

terrible……

None of them dared to imagine how Lin Qingshan came up with such a picture and drew it.

Moreover, Lin Qingshan's painting skills have also changed this time, turning into traditional Chinese painting techniques, using traditional Chinese painting tools and dyes.

However, upon closer inspection, there is a strange feeling, as if this is not a monster, but a Taoist who has attained enlightenment and become an immortal.

it's wired……

But no matter how strange the feeling is, it cannot conceal the extremely terrifying nature of this drawing.

Wu Shiqing took one look and felt that he would have a nightmare when he went back tonight, just like when he was painting "Vortex".

"Ding-deng-deng!"

Instead, Lin Qingshan said very excitedly, "This style is suitable for Daogui. It tastes right."

Because the previous life of "The Strange Immortal" was a novel, there is no comic book version. (I haven’t seen it yet when the protagonist traveled through time.)

So this time he had to create it based on the plot of the novel in his mind and the pictures he imagined.

Mainly this time, he really wanted to try "semi-creation" himself, and he didn't plan to use the ability of [Prophet Fantasy (Master)] to obtain the "The Strange Fairy" comic in the parallel world in the future.

As for this tentative creation, of course, you have to test the draft yourself first.

So Lin Qingshan first used the plot of Danyangzi's "Eternal Transformation to Immortality" to try to draw it first.

However, in the previous few attempts at drawing, he felt that something was missing.

He is very good at painting. He has two abilities: [Rusu Huazhong (Master)] and [Painting Kaleidoscope (Master)]. The paintings he draws look very good and have a lot of feeling.

But Lin Qingshan still felt that something was missing.

Until...he suddenly remembered a famous Chinese comic from his previous life - "Five Elements in the Mist Mountain".

Sure enough, he tried to use the traditional Chinese painting method like "Five Elements in the Mist Mountain" to paint it, and it felt right at first glance!

It is said that it is a Chinese-style Cthulhu, and it is also a theme of cultivating immortals. Of course, it must be painted using traditional Chinese painting!

Looking at it this way, he has the right style, a sense of artistry, and a feeling when he looks at it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him!

"Hey, what do you think?"

Lin Qingshan showed the drawing to Wu Shiqing and Chen Chunqiang behind him and asked.

Wu Shiqing was so frightened that her face turned pale under her glasses.

"Teacher...this is..."

Only Chen Chunqiang managed to muster up the courage and asked, "Is it the monster in the next new game?"

"It doesn't matter...but this is a Taoist priest who has become an immortal, and there are three flowers gathering at the top! Can you see it?"

Lin Qingshan asked, giving a thumbs up.

"Become an immortal? Three flowers gathered at the top?"

Wu Shiqing and Chen Chunqiang both said in disbelief.

This monster, do you think it has become an immortal?

But looking at the bloody feathers on Danyangzi's back and the three weird heads in the drawing, they really look like three flowers of flesh and blood.

They were silent again...

No... Is Teacher Aoyama really crazy?

You call this becoming an immortal and having three flowers gathering at the top?

"how is it going?"

Lin Qingshan then asked excitedly, "Do you feel that way?"

This was the first time that he did not have an original painting, but a sketch that he "created" semi-independently. Of course, he was a little excited and eager to be praised.

"It seems there is...but this looks a bit scary."

Chen Chun said forcefully, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"That's right. It's scary."

Lin Qingshan nodded with satisfaction and said, "The main thing is that it looks scary and feels a little disgusting, but you can also feel the feeling of "elevating to immortality" and "three flowers gathering at the top" that I just mentioned. "

Chen Chunqiang and Wu Shiqing suddenly looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Could it be that Teacher Qingshan is mentally ill again? ? ?

No matter what you say, they can’t understand it!

"Come on, come on! My next new work will be in this style."

Lin Qingshan chuckled, but suddenly he remembered something and said, "By the way, do you know how to paint Chinese paintings?"

When Wu Shiqing heard this, she shook her head silently. She had a specialization in art, but she had never studied a highly professional painting direction like Chinese painting.

Chen Chunqiang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I took a Chinese painting course in college, so I know a little bit about it."

"That's it..."

Lin Qingshan put his hand under his chin and thought for a while, then said, "After that, Shiqing will be responsible for posting bubbles and dialogues. This time, I will do most of the drawings for "The Strange Fairy" by myself, and the remaining small parts will be done by me myself. , Chunqiang, you can use it as a training hand, and Shiqing can practice together if you want, I will teach you by the way."

Anyway, he also has the ability of painting speed, and his painting speed is not slow at all.

It's just that after he got an assistant, on the one hand he was lazy, and on the other hand he was giving training to these future cartoonists, so he didn't do most of the drawing work.

At this moment, he was very interested in the thought of painting "The Tao Weird Immortal", so he was able to take over most of the drawing work again.

"teacher……"

Wu Shiqing and Chen Chunqiang were immediately moved, and they said in unison, "We will definitely study hard with the teacher."

Lin Qingshan was willing to take over most of the next work and was also willing to teach them traditional Chinese painting techniques. This really touched them.

It is difficult to find such a cartoonist teacher even in the industry.

Only...well, a talented cartoonist like Lin Qingshan, who has a different spirit than ordinary people, can be so selfless and defenseless.

"Okay, okay... we have to continue drawing the last episode of "Parasite"."

Lin Qingshan waved his hand and said, "This story is about to come to an end!"

"is teacher!"

Wu Shiqing and Chen Chunqiang suddenly said with enthusiasm.

After they finished speaking, they turned around and planned to return to their jobs.

Lin Qingshan also plans to ignore "The Weird Immortal" for now and finish the final chapter of "Parasite Beast" properly.

But just then...

"I couldn't wait for you to come clear the cupboards~"

Lin Qingshan's phone rang.

He picked up the phone, looked at it, and then picked it up directly.

"Moses Moses! Ayumi! Hi!"

Lin Qingshan greeted him first.

Although Ayumi Ito seems to rarely appear on stage, in fact she has always met Lin Qingshan.

For example, when she is not busy at work, she will come to Lin Qingshan's house to have dinner together.

"Teacher, I'm calling this time to tell you something."

Ayumi Ito was on the phone, smiling and said directly, "The production of the "Edgewalker" movie has been completed. It will be previewed in North America and then come to the Republic for a preview, and then it will be premiered in North America and the Republic at the same time. ”

"The promoter wants you to help us come to the preview screening to watch it together and then promote it."

"Edgewalker movie?"

Lin Qingshan was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he had almost forgotten about the version of the "Edge Walker" movie that Nolan was going to make.

But... now that he has said it, of course he wants to go see it.

After all, in this world, "Edgewalker" is his work, and he is also curious, what will happen to this movie version of "Edgewalker"?

"Then can you ask them to give me... one, two, three... Well, it's not too much to ask for, just three tickets for the preview. Ask them if they are willing?"
