Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

The first serialization of "The Strange Fairy" was promoted by Feng Yiyuan's long article published after the completion of "Purple Energy from the East", and also because of Feng Yiyuan's help, the comic industry provided a lot of publicity resources, and Lin Qingshan relied on Lin Qingshan to The attention the "Edgewalker" movie has received due to its popularity...

So it got a lot of attention from comic fans from the beginning.

After reading the first chapter, which is full of Lin Qingshan's personal style and unique Chinese painting style, comic fans are all happy.

Although it is still unclear what the setting and plot of the entire comic are like, everyone agreed with the explosive beginning and expressed their opinions on major online platforms.

"Old thief Qingshan, it's you as expected. Gui Gui was so energetic from the beginning, and he just painted such a bloody scene like this."

"Awesome, use someone to make elixirs. This protagonist will start in hell from the beginning!"

"I thought Denci's start was miserable enough. Both his parents died when he was young, and he was still burdened with millions of dollars in debt. To do this, he even sold his organs to pay off the debt. His biggest dream was to eat bread with jam and... women contact.

It turned out that this one was even more heavyweight, and at the beginning it looked like it was going to be used as an ingredient in alchemy.

But what happened in the end? Does this mean you can travel between two worlds? "

"It makes sense to use people to make elixirs. After all, cultivation works like to use body parts of monsters and monsters as medicinal materials to make elixirs. So humans, as the spirits of all things, can also be used as medicine to make elixirs, right?"

"Guigui, your thoughts... why do I feel that you are the thoughts of the old thief Qingshan? Quick! There is a person here who can be sent to a mental hospital. Send him to a mental hospital quickly!"

"Where the protagonist ends up, I feel that the hospital and the hospital uniform are more like a mental hospital and the psychiatric uniform. Isn't it possible that the old thief Qingshan painted the protagonist as mentally ill this time?"

"This is so right! Old thief Qingshan said that no one understands mental illness better than me!"

"Yeah...Old thief Qingshan is a psychopath himself. He has a rich history of mental illness. Who can better understand mental illness than him?!"

"Huh? You're not really turning your experience of being mentally ill into a cartoon, are you?"

"Does it feel like the world where people are used to make elixirs is actually a hallucination that occurred after the protagonist suffered from hysteria?"

"I understand, the protagonist is the old thief Qingshan! On the road to disease, no one can beat the old thief Qingshan!"

"It's such a niche track. You can draw your own medical history... This is indeed a track that no one can copy."

"Who said you can't copy?! Everyone, wait for me! I'm going to sneak into the mental hospital to enlighten myself! Just wait, you will see a super newcomer in the comics industry rising in less than half a year!"

"It's broken! After hearing what you say, I also want to go to a mental hospital to enlighten myself!"

"The person who invented mental illness was really a genius!"

"Speaking of which, Qingshan Old Thief's novel style of painting is really good-looking. I think comics with the theme of cultivating immortals must have this style of painting. Besides, apart from anything else, Old Thief's painting skills are as exquisite as ever."

"Guigui, when I first looked at the style of that promotional picture, those of us who are majoring in art thought that the old thief Qingshan was so awesome. It would take a lot of time to draw such a picture. We thought it was just a promotional picture. No. Come to think of it... Old thief Qingshan is planning to use this style of painting until the end of "The Weird Immortal"!"

"I tried to imitate it before. It took me a lot of time to draw that sketch by hand. I am still a Chinese painting major, and it takes a lot of time to draw one picture. There are so many sketches for a comic, I really don't know how old thief Qingshan How did you get there in time..."

"Old thief Qingshan used to have three assistants, but now there are only two left. I guess the assistants have helped a lot."

"It's really amazing. It's definitely not easy for someone to draw this style of comic drawings by hand."

"When I saw this style of painting, I found it pleasing to the eye. I fell in love with it. If nothing else, I would definitely pursue it."

"And this is a comic written by Old Thief Qingshan. You can always believe in Old Thief Qingshan's creative ability!"

"The subject of cultivation comics... I can't say, but looking at the style of this comic and the name of the old thief Chong Qingshan, it is indeed worth looking forward to reading."

…

Comic fans are making all kinds of jokes on the Internet, and the first episode of "The Strange Fairy" is really too explosive.

It has been compared to the first episode of "Chainsaw Man" by comic fans, so you can know how explosive the plot of this episode is.

It may not be exciting, but the explosion is definitely eye-catching.

Coupled with the comic style similar to the previous life "Five Elements in the Mist Mountain", it becomes even more popular.

And this week, the popularity of "The Strange Fairy" has reached the third place for its first serialization. It can be said that its popularity has exploded.

After all, it has gathered so much popularity and publicity resources, coupled with Lin Qingshan's own popularity, it is of course very eye-catching.

As Yang Shuzhun's "opponent" who has always regarded Lin Qingshan as his imaginary enemy, he paid close attention to "The Strange Fairy" when it began to be promoted.

When the first episode of "The Weird Immortal" was released, he directly watched the first episode of "The Weird Immortal" first.

Seeing that style of painting, Yang Shuzhun felt a little ashamed of himself.

In fact, his painting skills are quite good. After all, he was born in Central America and studied abroad for a period of time. He learned the traditional oil painting school and mixed it with a bit of modern comic style.

Lin Qingshan can also see from his comic style that Yang Shuzhun in this parallel world is very good at drawing.

Moreover, Yang Shuzhun's comic style is not the comic style of his previous life, but a style similar to the illustrations inserted in the middle of the single volume of the "Dragon Tribe" novel in his previous life.

It can be said that his painting skills are quite outstanding.

But Lin Qingshan was cheating. The [Painting Kaleidoscope (Master)] ability he received in the system gift package at the beginning was comparable to the top level in the current world.

If you bring over Yang Shuzhun's university professor, he may not be able to compare with Lin Qingshan in terms of painting skills.

Therefore, there is nothing shameful about Yang Shuzhun's feeling of inferiority. On the contrary, his painting skills are definitely quite outstanding.

After he admired Lin Qingshan's painting skills and the power of his new painting style, he focused on the plot.

After all, the drawing skills and style of the comics are secondary. What really matters is the plot.

There are no super-popular comics that gain huge popularity because of their excellent painting style and drawing skills. On the contrary, super-popular comics like "Purple Energy Comes from the East" and "The True Dragon God's Choice" only gain popularity because of their outstanding plots and settings. Extremely high achievement.

Just like a TV show, no matter how handsome and good-looking the actors are, no matter how great the service and the set are, but the plot of the TV show is mediocre, then the show is just a bad show that is beautiful on the outside but rotten on the inside.

Some TV series, although the cast is not good, the service and the set are not good, but the plot is good, they can still become popular.

To put it bluntly, painting style and painting skills are like scoring points. When the plot and setting are already good, you can add points to achieve higher achievements.

But if the plot and setting are not good, it will be useless no matter how high the score is.

However, after Yang Shuzhun finished reading the plot of the first episode, he was still a little confused.

Because in this first episode, the setting is not completely clear yet, and the plot... seems to have only introduced the male protagonist Li Huowang and the leprous-headed Taoist priest.

But no matter what...

"This beginning is really eye-catching..."

Yang Shuzhun nodded and said with admiration, "Sure enough, I still have some skills..."

Tang Wei said, "This old thief from Qingshan really likes...the setting of flesh penetration, but this setting is really easy to attract everyone's attention."

"Because this setting challenges the bottom line of human civilization, there is a sense of taboo excitement that transcends the moral bottom line."

Yang Shuzhun thought for a moment, suddenly realized, and said analytically, "I understand his thoughts now. Reversing the extremely strong and crazy plot and settings can greatly give comic fans a sense of freshness, and this is what attracts everyone. method."

To put it bluntly, human beings are creatures that love the new, hate the old, and like excitement. In his opinion, Lin Qingshan’s extremely novel plot and settings that challenge the bottom line of human morality capture this point.

But he wasn't quite sure whether Lin Qingshan did this intentionally or unintentionally.

The sense of madness contained in this kind of work is whether he has directly understood the current preferences of human nature, or he is a mental illness himself. This is the routine he has mastered unintentionally.

After all, looking at the rumors on the Internet, Yang Shuzhun met Lin Qingshan himself at the comic industry annual meeting...

Lin Qingshan indeed looks like a mental patient.

But let’s just say he is a psychopath. A real psychopath can draw comics and achieve such great achievements?

This is a bit too magical.

So he couldn't figure out whether Lin Qingshan was really crazy or fake.

"but……"

Yang Shuzhun said with a smile, "Now there is no need to be afraid of him starting a new work. After "Purple Energy Comes from the East" is completed, "The True Dragon God's Choice" is just more than enough to maintain its status and not enough to make progress. Now it has come to my era!"

He is very confident. After gaining huge popularity with the Black Moon Tide chapter of "Protoss", he believes that "Protoss" will reach the peak of popularity.

Nowadays, "Zi Qi Dong Lai", which has been the most popular one, has also come to an end. Although "True Dragon God's Choice" is also very popular, he can also see that the comic author of "True Dragon God's Choice" has no enthusiasm at all now. I just plan to keep eating while holding on to my laurels.

Lin Qingshan... now seems to him to be a pity.

Because Lin Qingshan's comic works have always been relatively short. Needless to say, "Edge Walker", "Fire Fist" was not serialized but directly released as a stand-alone book, and "Chainsaw Man" was only serialized for about ninety chapters before it was announced to be suspended. .

"Parasite"...not to mention, although it has a good reputation, it is not long and not very popular. Among all Aoyama's comic works, it is the most popular but not the most popular one.

If Lin Qingshan continues to serialize "Chainsaw Man", he might be able to catch up with him, but it is a pity that Lin Qingshan has been developing new works.

Although the popularity and reputation of the new work are quite good, after all, it is too short and cannot accumulate too much popularity.

Even though the promotional resources of "The Strange Immortal" are so huge, it will only take a long time to catch up with "Protoss" after it has accumulated popularity.

And now...

The opponent he once wanted to look up to has now completely become a challenger, which makes Yang Shuzhun feel a little proud of looking down on him.

"Now...Lin Qingshan, you have finally become a challenger."

Yang Shuzhun murmured to himself and said with a smile.
