Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

In Lin Qingshan's previous life, Chris Evans, known as Mr. Tao on the Chinese Internet, was already prepared. As an innate optimist, he would not have any nervous emotions.

After all, "Edgewalker" is not his first movie. He has appeared in many movies in the early years.

It's just a pity that in this parallel world, he is just like Lin Qingshan, and those movies did not really make him completely popular.

Even in his previous life, he starred in the Human Torch, who is also one of the Marvel superhero movies Fantastic Four. This hero who can control fire has not made him popular.

Just like the big guy who played Daredevil didn't become popular, but he became popular when he played Batman, and the little bitch who played Green Lantern didn't become popular, but he became popular when he played Deadpool.

Mr. Tao became popular after playing Captain America in his previous life, but in this world...he came to play the role of David in "Edgewalker".

But for him, it is obvious that the script "Edge Walker", which is the ancestor of the cyberpunk genre in this world, attracts him more.

Comparing the script of a superhero movie like Captain America to the script of "Edge Walker", plus "Edge Walker" and Nolan's directorial bonus, it is obvious that anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference.

After all, in the eyes of many people, a superhero movie like Captain America is not the first superhero movie, so there is nothing special about it, except for the huge popularity of the original character.

Therefore, Mr. Tao did not hesitate to accept the script of "Edge Walker" in this parallel world.

After completing the filming of "Edgewalker", he became more determined in his ideas.

The quality of the movie "Edgewalker" is absolutely extremely high, and because of the cyberpunk genre, they are the ancestors.

Just like "The Terminator", Tao always feels that there is no reason why this movie should not be popular.

Especially the director is Chris Nolan, who shot "Inception" and swept the global movie box office and won numerous awards!

The shadow of a famous tree is worthy of belief just because of Nuo Dao's name.

After completing the production of "Edgewalker" and then holding a preview screening of the film in North America, which received numerous positive reviews, Mr. Tao became even more confident.

This trip to the Republic, he felt that it wouldn't be any worse.

After all, the original author of "Edge Walker" is a member of the Republic, which of course counts as half of the home field advantage.

"I heard from Director Nuo that the original author of this movie will also be at the scene today. Let's say hello to the original cartoonist then."

Mr. Tao confidently tried some Chinese he had learned during this period, and said with some lame practice, "Hello, I am Chris Evans, David's actor... I am a friend of the Republic, everyone. ...Hello, Teacher Qingshan, Yang Mu is still here!”

"Evan? Are you practicing how to greet Republic fans later?"

At this moment, Scarlett Johansson, who played the heroine in the "Edgewalker" movie, suddenly appeared, looked at Mr. Tao and said curiously.

Because there are two Chriss in the crew, one of them is of course Nolan, so everyone in the crew calls Nolan Chris, and Mr. Tao calls him by his last name.

"Haha, yes, and I plan to say hello to the original cartoonist later."

Mr. Tao said with an optimistic look.

"Okay...but we will be going to the preview soon. You won't have any problem with your temporary learning."

Scarlett said teasingly.

"David" and "Lucy" both appeared, and immediately other famous starring actors also appeared and began to join the discussion.

Half an hour passed.

"Guys, get ready to go."

Just then... Nolan appeared, clapped his hands and said to everyone.

"All right."

Many of the leading actors and creators said there was no problem and were preparing to head to the premiere venue together.

…

Screening venue.

"Teacher Qingshan, are you here early?"

Ito Ayumi, who had just arrived here, looked at Lin Qingshan and the other two people holding drinks with some curiosity and asked.

She, Wu Shiqing, and Chen Chunqiang had just arrived here, but they didn't see Lin Qingshan, so they called Lin Qingshan.

In the end, Lin Qingshan directly let them in to the preview screening.

Sure enough, as soon as they entered, they saw Lin Qingshan, Gu Qianli, and Akumi Yuta here. It seemed that the three of them had arrived here early.

It's okay for Gu Qianli and Lin Qingshan, after all, their apartments are in the same building.

Originally, everyone actually wanted to meet up at Lin Qingshan's apartment and go together, but Lin Qingshan felt that it was so early in the morning that there was no need for everyone to turn back and meet up.

So just come here and meet up.

As a result, Yuta Akumi met up with Lin Qingshan and Gu Qianli early.

This...Did Yuta Akumi arrive early too?

Or maybe the three of them had agreed in advance.

"Haha, it didn't take long actually."

Lin Qingshan laughed and laughed, but did not say it directly.

"By the way, I bought these for you."

He directly gave the milk tea in a bag to Ito Ayumi and said, "Drink it while it's cold. It won't taste good after the ice has melted."

Although there is indeed nothing wrong with this sentence if you listen carefully, it still sounds weird...

However, Ito Ayumi and others are also used to Lin Qingshan's unusual brain circuit, so they don't feel anything is wrong.

This is probably the benefit of being mentally ill.

When you know that this person is mentally ill, you always feel that nothing he does is surprising.

And just then...

Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and countless media reporters started rushing to the road outside the preview screening with cameras and microphones.

This is……

Ito Ayumi and others saw a convoy appear at this time, and then dozens of security personnel suddenly appeared and began to clear the road and maintain order.

Then one after another formally dressed foreigners got out of the car.

"The crew director and actors are here!"

I don’t know who shouted this sentence, but it exactly explains the reason why this scene appears now.

At this time, Lin Qingshan looked curiously at the starring team who were surrounded by reporters, media, fan groups, onlookers and security personnel.

President Tao, Widow Sister, Dwayne Johnson... and Nolan, whom he had met once before, they were all familiar faces.

As international stars and world-famous directors, they were not timid at all in the face of this terrifying battle. Instead, they faced the camera and microphone with a decent smile.

Mr. Tao generously said to the camera and the public in slightly broken Chinese, but the meaning was still understandable, "Everyone, friends of the Republic, please use it!"

This sentence also ignited the enthusiasm of the scene.

The crew of the "Edgewalker" film walked the red carpet again, and Nolan was no exception.

After all, he was in this fame and fortune fair. He didn't say that he would be arrogant because of his talent. He felt that he didn't have to abide by this rule.

But after he finished the show, he quickly entered the venue, and after a while of searching, he finally found Lin Qingshan.

"Hi, my friend."

Nolan greeted Lin Qingshan warmly and said, "It's been a long time since I last saw you, but my friend, you still look so young. I really envy you yellow people."

Yellow people do have good genes that age relatively slowly compared to white people.

With the same lack of maintenance and heavy labor, after the age of twenty-five, the aging of white people is almost visible to the naked eye.

But yellow people sometimes look quite young even before they are forty years old.

However, the reason why Lin Qingshan does not seem to have aged much, and even still looks very young and handsome, is because of two appearances: "My appearance is ordinary (Platinum)" and "I am just a middle-aged man with an aging appearance (Platinum)" Association related capabilities.

"Hey, Director Nuo, I'm really looking forward to what your version of the "Edgewalker" movie will be like."

However, Lin Qingshan said with a smile without any hesitation, "Oh, you have to try your best to help me."

"Help you?"

Nolan was a little strange, but he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Is that why Lin Qingshan said this because he hopes that the "Edge Walker" movie will be a big success and that his other works will also be watched?

Suddenly he smiled and said, "My friend, I happen to have something to tell you."

"Ah? What's the matter?"

Lin Qingshan asked curiously.

"That's right. My partner, WB Pictures, does have a strong interest in your other works."

Nolan smiled and said, "If our cooperation goes well this time, it is estimated that the next cooperation will not be far away, and my friend, WB Pictures is currently very interested in your movie called "Parasite" Comics."

Lin Qingshan communicated seamlessly with Nolan in English, but Ayumi Ito and others beside Lin Qingshan were a little confused.

Gu Qianli could actually understand it. After all, she had considered studying abroad for further studies, so after taking the TOEFL test, she could still understand Ami's English.

But Ayumi Ito, Yuta Akumi, Wu Shiqing and Chen Chunqiang couldn't understand it at all.

Japanese English...everyone understands it.

Wu Shiqing and Chen Chunqiang's English is pretty good, but only for the written test. After all, they are not English college students, they just study art.

So now they all look confused.

Mr. Aoyama...is truly a genius, his oral skills are really great.

When thinking of Lin Qingshan's past experience, Wu Shiqing's three assistants certainly had no doubts. On the contrary, they admired Lin Qingshan very much.

""Parasite"?"

Lin Qingshan said curiously, "Well, in my opinion, "Parasite" is not a suitable movie theme..."

First of all, "Parasite" is too long. In previous Japanese adaptations, the movie was divided into two parts.

This still shortens a lot of the length.

So as a result, its movies...well, actually performed well in their home region, but the global box office was obviously not very good.

In addition, the subject matter does not have the title of "Edge Walker", which is the ancestor of cyberpunk, which makes it very eye-catching.

Therefore, he is not optimistic about "Parasite" being made into a movie.

"So WB Pictures plans to make it into a TV series. It will use the plot and setting of your "Parasite" comic and create a new script."

Nolan smiled and said, "Man, I think this is a good decision. Although I will not participate in the creation of this TV series, I think this is a good thing for you."

"Forehead……"

Lin Qingshan scratched his head, but now that the completion of the "Parasite Beast" series of tasks was extremely low, he suddenly felt...

It seems that this idea is not bad.

After all, the influence of American TV series is huge. Maybe it can make his original work profitable and cause the mission progress bar to increase rapidly?

The most important thing is that the tasks that System Lao ascends to do not seem to be limited to the original works created by himself.

Just like copyright, once the name of his work is used, the task progress bar will increase.

This is the case with "Cyberpunk 2077". Because it is an official adaptation of "Edgewalker", praise for the game will also contribute to the progress bar of the "Edgewalker" series missions.

"Well, when you say that, I seem to be really moved."

Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said.

"Haha, in that case, I will go back and tell them that if everything goes well, someone will come to discuss it with you."

Nolan suddenly smiled and said.

But at this moment...

"Director Nuo!"

A big man suddenly appeared behind Nolan.

Lin Qingshan took a look, isn't this Mr. Tao?

"Hey, Evans."

Nolan immediately smiled and said, "By the way, let me introduce to you, this is the original author of our movie-Lin."

Having said that, Mr. Tao's eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at Lin Qingshan, then he stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically, "You, I am David's Yanyuan..."

"Chris Evans! Mr. Peach!"

However, Lin Qingshan greeted him directly in English, smiled and said, "I know you, just speak English to me. My English is pretty good."

The title Mr. Peach is a title used on the Chinese Internet in the previous life. There is no English version, so Lin Qingshan directly called Chris Evans "Mr. Peach".

Mr. Tao was very interested in what he called her, and asked, "Mr. Tao, this is really interesting. Why do you call me that?"

"Haha, I don't know. Just looking at your face, Chris, I couldn't help but call you that."

Lin Qingshan said with a smile.

He just shouted this subconsciously and asked him to explain... Of course it couldn't be explained like that.

Although Mr. Tao's character should be able to accept this title, it's not very good...

At the same time, the leading actors from the "Edge Walker" film crew also finished the red carpet show and came in one after another. These international stars like Miss Widow and Dwayne Johnson all greeted Lin Qingshan one after another and were quite friendly. The ground radiates kindness.

This big-name star, who was rarely seen in his previous life, was now in such close contact with Lin Qingshan, and they were even talking and laughing.

It can only be said that time-travelers are like this. As long as they copy works casually, they can succeed, and they can get to know many high-ranking and powerful people who were unreachable in previous lives.

The key point is that Lin Qingshan didn't feel nervous at all about meeting celebrities. Instead, he talked and joked with them very relaxedly.

This is probably the advantage of mental patients.

Soon, the preview screening began. The leading actors, creators, and even Lin Qingshan took the stage to interact with reporters, media, and domestic filmmakers to promote the film.

Lin Qingshan once again met the top filmmakers in the entertainment circle of the Republic, Lao Mouzi, Feng Laopao, Jiang Mazi, Director Chen, the father of Arthur, and some other stars.

He didn't feel much discomfort, but cooperated to complete his tasks just like the previous animation press conference, and then returned to the audience to watch the movie with Gu Qianli and others.
