Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

"Teacher."

When Yuta Akutami, who hadn't seen Lin Qingshan for a long time, saw him, he immediately ran over with joy and shouted enthusiastically.

But he saw Gu Qianli beside Lin Qingshan and hurriedly shouted, "Miss Qianli."

He vaguely felt that Lin Qingshan and Gu Qianli had a close relationship... although he also knew that Lin Qingshan and Gu Qianli were not in a relationship yet.

But he always felt that they would reach that point sooner or later.

So Gu Qianli was also his... teacher's wife, right?

"Yuta, hi."

Gu Qianli also smiled and greeted Yuta Akutami.

But she was a little helpless. She had thought that she could enjoy the world of two people by coming here with Lin Qingshan in advance.

But... she didn't expect Yuta Akutami to have arrived.

This made her a little discouraged.

But she couldn't just give Yuta Akutami a bad look, so she could only be a little helpless.

"Oh, Yuta, are you here so early?"

Lin Qingshan also said curiously.

He also looked at the clock on his phone. That's right... There are still about two hours before the preview starts.

He and Gu Qianli came here early. It seems that Ito Ayumi, Wu Shiqing and Chen Chunqiang, who had made an appointment with him, have not set off yet.

At this time, in the luxurious scene of the movie preview, the red carpet prepared all around came into view.

The half-open door exudes warm light, giving people a strong sense of luxury.

The preview has not started yet, but the scene has been arranged long ago, but many reporters and media around have only just arrived here.

The reason why Lin Qingshan and Gu Qianli came here early is also because of this, especially Lin Qingshan. As the original author of "Edge Walker", although he is not in the so-called entertainment industry, reporters and media will definitely notice him.

With the idea of ​​not wanting to be entangled by reporters, he followed Gu Qianli's advice and came here early.

As for Ito Ayumi, Chen Chunqiang and Wu Shiqing, because they live in different places, and Lin Qingshan really doesn't want them to feel troubled.

So he didn't say to come early, and Ito Ayumi, Chen Chunqiang and Wu Shiqing came according to the original agreed time.

But even if they came two hours early, they were not as early as the staff here. It felt like they started preparing last night.

Some particularly hardworking reporters were the same, squatting here at night.

Of course, most reporters were not so desperate. Coming two hours early in the morning was already very diligent.

Although there are not many people now, it can be seen that many important people will come in the future.

After all, the main creators and leading actors of the movie "Edge Walker" are all big stars.

And "Edge Walker" has actually been screened in North America. At present, those who have participated in the preview of "Edge Walker" movie, whether it is the media or the so-called professional filmmakers, have praised this comic-adapted movie.

The positive reviews reached 92%, and only some opposing media gave the opposite evaluation, thinking that this movie "is full of boredom visible to the naked eye, and only the special effects of the movie can be praised a little."

Or "the movie is full of slander against my free America, especially since the original author is from the Republic across the ocean", which directly attacks the movie with Lin Qingshan as the reason.

But looking at these opposite reviews, there is no clear negative review, which proves that the movie "Edge Walker" is really excellent.

This also led to the Republic attaching great importance to this excellent science fiction movie recognized by the original Chinese author Amei. The cinema here not only gave a high screening rate, but also kept promoting it before the release.

Thanks to them, the number of people in the "Edge Walker" series of tasks on Lin Qingshan's system panel has increased.

This is because many viewers are very curious about it after seeing the promotion of the movie "Edge Walker".

But the movie "Edge Walker" has not been released yet, so let's learn about the original "Edge Walker" on the Internet first.

Some went to Station C to read the so-called "Edge Walker" miscellaneous analysis, and some went directly to watch the "Edge Walker" animation. After all, the comics are too long and not convenient to watch.

But even so, the degree of attention to "Edge Walker" has greatly increased, and Lin Qingshan's task progress bar has also risen sharply.

He thought that before the premiere, he might be able to complete the task of 100 million people and unlock the eighth stage reward of the Gifted series.

Speaking of the Gifted series, this task is the strangest. It was unlocked very quickly before the sixth stage, but it started to slow down completely at the seventh stage.

In fact, the main reason is that Lin Qingshan recently serialized "Parasyte"... What he didn't know was that its influence was not as good as "Chainsaw Man", so the unlocking progress became very slow.

However, I believe that with the help of the movie "Edgewalker", his next task should be very fast.

And now looking at the scale of the preview, Lin Qingshan thinks this wave is stable.

But he still wants to see with his own eyes... What will the movie "Edgewalker" directed by Nolan, which he has never seen, look like.

Before the preview begins, he will chat with Akutami Yuta.

Akutami Yuta smiled and said to Lin Qingshan, "I don't have any work now, so I plan to come here and wait for you teachers to come."

"Oh, it's not so early, but aren't you creating your comics now?"

Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said, "How is your creation going now?"

"I have basically completed most of the settings and the beginning of the plot. I have started to try to draw the original manuscript. I would like to thank you for your guidance, teacher."

Akumi Yuta said very gratefully.

"That's good. I hope to see you next year, Yuta, and win the title of Rookie King of the Comics World, hahahaha!"

Lin Qingshan said excitedly.

There is no doubt about the excellence of "Spell Return" itself.

This is especially true in Lin Qingshan's view. Is there any need to say more about the title of Rookie King in next year's Comic Rookie Grand Prix?

That’s definitely Yuta Akumi’s!

"By the way, teacher... Actually, I boldly borrowed the setting of your "Whirlpool" as a move for a character in my work..."

Akumi Yuta smiled again and said, "Will the teacher have any objections to this?"

Lin Qingshan was stunned for a moment, right! Xia Youjie in the previous life "Spell Return" released thousands of curse spirits each during the "Hundred Ghosts Night Parade" incident, dragging down the high school, Yu Sanjia, and Ainu Curse Company. The entire world of magic, and then used the "whirlpool" formed by the remaining magic spirits to fight against Otoko Yuta.

It caused a lot of controversy at the time. Everyone was debating whether this was plagiarism by Mr. One-Eyed Cat or a tribute to Mr. Junji Ito's original work of "Whirlpool".

After all, Mr. One-Eyed Cat never served as Mr. Junji Ito’s assistant in his previous life.

But this parallel world is different. Lin Qingshan copied Mr. Ito Junji's "Whirlpool" comic, and Yuta Akumi happened to be his assistant.

Isn't this a proper tribute?

In this way... by then, no one will probably cause as much controversy as they did in the previous life.

Lin Qingshan really didn't expect that this could be wrong.

He himself...of course doesn't care at all!

This kind of setting reference actually doesn't affect anything.

It's not that "Spell Return" borrowed the setting of "Whirlpool" to have such popularity.

There is no doubt that the plot and setting of "Spell Return" are excellent in the first part, and it is not the popularity that "Whirlpool" brought to it.

So this kind of reference is nothing at all.

Not to mention, in this parallel world, Yuta Akumi is his assistant and half of his student.

Then there is no need to say more.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Yuta Akumi’s proper tribute!

"No! Haha, I'm actually quite happy."

Lin Qingshan laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, and even if someone questions it, just tell me and I will tell everyone."

"Thank you, teacher."

Akumi Yuta didn't have any surprises, but he still said gratefully.

"By the way, there's no way we can talk here. Let's go first..."

Lin Qingshan was about to say go in first. As the original author, he still had the right to enter in advance.

But just then...

His cell phone rang.

It was a strangely familiar call.

The note marked above is - Director Nuo.

In fact, this is not the first time Nolan has called him. As early as the night before yesterday, Nolan and the main creative team of "Edge Walker" had already arrived in the Republic.

Yesterday, Nolan seemed to have directly asked the staff to apply for a Republic of China phone card for him, and made a special call to chat with Lin Qingshan.

He actually admires Lin Qingshan very much, because in his opinion, someone who can create comics with themes like "Edge Walker"... is definitely a genius!

Moreover, Lin Qingshan was also very popular with Ami during this period.

Lin Qingshan may not even know it himself. After all, since Mann's protest during the serialization of the "Edge Walker" comic, there seems to be no movement on Ami's side.

In fact, films like "Fire Fist" and "Chainsaw Man" are quite popular on Ami's side.

After all, the name of the character in "Fire Fist" sounds European and American.

The demonic elements of "Chainsaw Man" are completely in line with the culture there.

Especially "Fire Fist", after all, the protagonist Agni feels European and American.

Ami says it is a free country, but in fact they have very obvious ill intentions towards works in which foreigners are the protagonists, especially Asian protagonists.

Most of the red-necked Zhengbaiqi movies had an Asian protagonist and immediately stopped watching it.

Unless the Asian protagonist obviously has an attitude that likes their freedom and beauty, and even resists the evil ancestors and the country of their birth.

This way they will take a look.

In fact, the Republic also has some tendencies in this regard, but they have to be contrary to the norm. For example, when European and American protagonists come to cultivate immortality or acquire the Kunlun Dragon Fist inheritance, everyone will be particularly repulsive.

But like in the original Western fantasy land, a European and American protagonist would not appear so abrupt and offensive.

Therefore, Lin Qingshan’s works are relatively popular on Ami’s side.

It's just that during the serialization of "Fire Fist" and "Chainsaw Man", there wasn't much trouble there.

"Hi, Chris."

Lin Qingshan answered the phone and said hello to Director Nuo using the Xinxiang Zhengbaiqi accented English given by the system [Proficiency in Official Language Interpretation (Diamond)].

"Lin, have you arrived at the preview?"

Nolan asked on the phone, "I'm so looking forward to meeting you again."

"Eh? I suspect you are spying on me. Do you already know that I am already here?"

Lin Qingshan was stunned for a moment and said in great surprise.

Nolan was suddenly speechless on the other end of the phone. He actually didn't know that Lin Qingshan had already arrived at the scene. He just casually said that he was looking forward to seeing Lin Qingshan again.

The most important thing is...

The quality of the movie "Edgewalker" is very high at present. If it can really be a big success in word of mouth and box office after its release, then there is no doubt that Lin Qingshan has made a great contribution.

At the same time, WB Films will begin to pay attention to Lin Qingshan's other works.

Just like in the past life, when the entertainment industry adapted a certain author's novel into a TV series and it was a big success, it would keep an eye on the author's other works and adapt them all into TV series.

The same is true for movies. After an author's work is successfully adapted into a movie, his other works will most likely attract the attention of film companies.

Just like in the past life, when the hero movie became popular, those film companies wanted to put even an unpopular and unknown grassroots hero on the big screen.

Now WB Films has actually paid attention to Lin Qingshan's other comic works, such as...

The comic "Parasyte" that Lin Qingshan is currently serializing.

It has to be said that environmentalism, science fiction elements, and humanistic care... all of these together are exactly what those white leftists want!

But Nolan is not very interested in "Parasyte".

And "Parasyte" is a bit long, so WB Films wants to adapt it into an American TV series.

But the original work is not based on the American background, and they have other ideas. It is better to make an extended work based on the original plot of the comics and the ending of the comics.

It's called... "Parasyte: Gray Army"!

At present, this project is only in the draft stage, and the reason is naturally to see how the specific situation will be after the official release of the movie "Edgewalker".

If it is really good, then the project can naturally be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

And Nolan also wanted to contact and talk with Lin Qingshan in advance during this period of time under the instruction of the senior management of WB Films.

"I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."

Nolan immediately said with a smile, "Then I'll talk to you again when we get there... Well, according to the schedule, I can get to the preview in more than an hour, my friend."

"Then I look forward to your arrival."

Lin Qingshan said with a smile.

The two hung up the phone.

After the phone call, Lin Qingshan looked at Gu Qianli and Akutami Yuta and said with a smile, "Let's go in first."

"Okay."

The three of them immediately entered the preview venue according to the preview VIP tickets.
