Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

When Fu Liyu woke up at 9:30 the next morning, the hot searches for "Magic City Ghoul" were already everywhere.

"Magic City Ghoul", which became a phenomenal show in the previous life thanks to this episode, will naturally be no exception in this world.

Many viewers who started watching the show after getting up in the morning felt refreshed after watching this episode of "Magic City Ghoul".

Zhou Wenwei was the same. After watching the show, he felt like Fu Liyu that all the previous frustrations were released.

In fact, compared with "Kill! Red Eyes", "Magic City Ghoul" has a smoother and less deliberate narrative style.

One point that "Kill! Red Eyes" was criticized for in Lin Qingshan's previous life was that it was too deliberate to show the knife in the plot of the eldest brother Brand.

Anyone can see that there are knives behind.

In addition, the plot of the hair knife was not mentioned, such as Hayakawa Aki in "Chainsaw Man". People did not expect it to be such a trend, and it also made people feel a spiritual shock.

So even after Lin Qingshan's optimization, "Zhan! Akame ga Mimi" still feels a bit too deliberate.

Even if the final ending is not that all the members died, but only the heroine Akame, who is the name of the show, is left, the evaluation will inevitably be slightly lower.

So "Zhan! Akame ga Mimi" cannot be regarded as a masterpiece, but can only be regarded as a masterpiece of assembly line.

And Ghoul is better than "Zhan! Akame ga Mimi" here. The plot that was depressed but realistic in the front was artistically sublimated after the twelfth episode, and it was evaluated as a deification.

No matter how Lin Qingshan's Ghoul started high and ended low later, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a deification just for the finale of the first season.

Zhou Wenwei originally liked "Zhan! Akame ga Mimi" more. "Akame ga Mizuki" was originally from "Akame ga Mizuki", but when he saw the hot search in the morning, he went to the toilet to watch the first season finale of "Magto Ghoul" which was praised by everyone.

Then...

"It's really cool."

Even though he is a young man in his twenties, Zhou Wenwei thinks that Kaneki's blackening after extreme repression is extremely cool.

"All the unfavorable situations in the world are caused by the lack of ability of the parties involved."

Zhou Wenwei is still obsessed with the famous quote that appeared in this episode of "Magto Ghoul" and said, "A mental patient can't be a genius, this sentence has a philosophical flavor, and Qingshan Laoze's plot skills are really amazing."

But he thought of Lin Qingshan again... In fact, his works have always been philosophical.

From "Edgewalker" pioneering the anti-future sci-fi utopian science fiction theme of cyberpunk, the later "Flame Fist" is a "philosophical masterpiece" of mental illness.

When he read "Flame Fist", he could really feel the philosophy in the comic plot.

The correct education of Dema, Ligatian's reflection on his own gender, the reality that humans feed on lies and survive with lies as analyzed by Besim Drucker's soldiers, Agni's thinking about living and his own existence...

That's why "Flame Fist" caused such a big response at that time.

Even later, Aoyama Laozei's "Chainsaw Man", "Parasyte", and a short comic "Goodbye Eri", the philosophy in them all proved that his works have never been simple and straightforward brainless comics.

Even "Masked Rider Ryuki", which he wrote for the Kamen Rider series, Zhou Wenwei, as a person who read the entire "Masked Rider Ryuki", was also very touched.

Lin Qingshan, a genius cartoonist who is called a mental patient and the freest cartoonist in the world, will never create such simple works.

It's just that he seems to be restrained sometimes because of the commercial nature of his works.

For example, "Chainsaw Man", you can feel that Lin Qingshan has definitely sacrificed for the commercialization of his works.

But it is precisely because of this that the "Chainsaw Man" series is so popular.

"Kill! Red Eyes" seems to be the same, with Lin Qingshan's restraint of his talent for rich philosophy in exchange for the high commerciality of the work.

However, "Matou Ghoul" is different. This series has been ignored by the audience and comic fans for some time.

Just like "Fire Fist", while suppressing, it also tells the artistic philosophy that the old thief Qingshan wants.

For example, the current seemingly absurd and unnecessary struggle between humans and ghouls.

Although the setting of ghouls to hunt for food is a great enemy to humans.

But... the ghouls headed by the Antique Coffee Shop in the Anting District have proved that they can also live in peace with humans.

At the same time, the tragedy of Hinami's parents and the tragic past of human investigator Wu Xu, the tragic past of Gekko being tortured by human investigators in the past, and then compared with his current behavior of torturing Kaneki who has nothing to do with that human investigator...

make the struggle between the two sides seem even more absurd.

Just like the saying "When will the cycle of revenge end?", the struggle between humans and ghouls is constantly involving one unrelated innocent individual to another.

However, in this case, unless both sides stop, who will be willing to stop on their own initiative?

So this is destined to be an endless fight and killing...

This is really similar to the situation of the great powers competing for hegemony in reality...

When I think of this...

Zhou Wenwei feels at this moment...Is he too neglecting the anime "Magic City Ghoul"?

According to this view, this is definitely an animation work with profound philosophical significance comparable to "Fire Fist".

In fact, Lin Qingshan also thought so. He planned to make some changes to the sequel of "Ghoul" and move towards anti-war.

This can also make up for the inherent deficiencies of "Ghoul".

At present, his ability is enough to do this.

Although Lin Qingshan is a plagiarist, he is systematic!

Zhou Wenwei immediately planned to go back and watch "Madu Ghoul" carefully.

…

The discussion caused by the finale of the first season of "Ghoul" is not limited to this. Many netizens are curious because of the hot discussions and tap water of the audience who have watched the finale of "Madu Ghoul" on the Internet.

At the same time, the clips of the finale of the first season of "Ghoul" on Station C increased a lot in one day.

Many people just watched the blackening of Kaneki at the end of "Ghoul", and even if they didn't watch the previous plot, they all thought that Kaneki in this plot was too handsome.

Some younger, adolescent viewers even learned Kaneki's signature finger-bending gesture.

At the same time, the famous sayings of the ghouls in the clips, which could be regarded as classics in previous lives, also became popular.

"All unfavorable situations in the world are caused by the lack of ability of the parties involved!"

"It's not me who is wrong, but the world!"

"Either you are strong enough, or you must be prepared to give up!"

...

Some more middle school viewers began to regard these two sentences as the criterion.

However, this also caused some slightly more rational viewers to frown, because these words are a bit... too absolute.

All unfavorable situations in the world are caused by the lack of ability of the parties involved?

This is a bit like the victim's blaming theory.

Although this sentence is essentially just to cheer up the cowardly male protagonist Kaneki and stop being a coward.

After all, the "Kamiyo Rize" who said this was unlucky enough to be crushed to death by steel bars. ①

Is this also her lack of ability?

Yes and no.

Yes, if Kamishiro Rize was strong enough to ignore the steel bars and bear the falling steel bars with her flesh and blood, she could have avoided her own death.

This was indeed caused by her "lack of ability".

But Kamishiro Rize is already very strong. No matter what, even as a ghoul, she is an SS-level ghoul "Glutton", the top among ghouls.

So how can she be stronger?

It is the same in reality. The misfortunes of ordinary people are attributed to their "lack of ability". Do they deserve it?

Are the workers who are owed wages because of their lack of ability?

Are the ordinary people who are deceived by telecommunications fraud also because of their lack of ability?

It can only be said that there are some reasons, but the victims will definitely not bear the main responsibility.

It is unreasonable to blame the victims instead of the evil people who committed crimes and did wrong things.

However, this sentence does not mean this, and most viewers understand it.

But if it is said too absolutely, this sentence will inevitably give rise to ambiguity.

Some sensible viewers can also see it.

So they kindly advised, "This is just an animation, don't take it too seriously."

However, some teenagers who thought they had seen the injustice of the world responded excitedly, "This is reality. Because you are not strong enough, you are so unlucky and feel unfortunate. Therefore, only being strong enough is the truth. The strong can trample on the weak!"

Suddenly, some viewers began to refute, "What kind of perverse logic? The strong trample on the weak? When did the strong and the weak become the truth?"

"Too second-year students, this is meant to make you work hard to become stronger, not to think that the strong should bully the weak."

"You think you are strong? Little do you know that in reality you are just the ordinary majority, the weak who are trampled."

"You really take yourself seriously..."

"Look at this tone, you are definitely a little kid who is still studying... What do you know?"

...

For a while, the second-year students and some rational viewers began to attack each other online and started a war of words.

It has to be said that since the rapid development of the Internet, the hostility on the Internet has become more and more serious.

Sometimes a small thing can trigger a war of words.

This may be the high risk that comes with a powerful "power". The rapid development of the Internet has made people's lives more convenient.

But it has also turned the Internet into a garbage dump.

People's negative emotions are poured here, and they vent their dissatisfaction wantonly.

And this also attracted Lin Qingshan's attention.

"Eh? Can you quarrel like this?"

Lin Qingshan was helpless. He didn't expect that the two sentences in "Magic City Ghoul" could cause a war of words.

It's just two sentences, and there is no personal attack or insult to the country, nation or region. Can it rise to the situation of cursing?

Just like he didn't understand why so many people started a war of words on the Internet in his previous life.

Often because of some inconspicuous reasons, it can rise to the situation of attacking family members.

It's probably like the chef's cooking is not very delicious, and the customer comes to the chef's house and keeps talking about the beast...

It's a bit too exaggerated.

But he couldn't just let the public opinion develop like this, so he posted a blog post on Station C:

["All adverse situations in the world are caused by the deficiencies of the parties involved." - Although this sentence was written by me, I hope this sentence can be used as words to encourage everyone to work hard to get better, rather than to attack each other. .

I prefer this sentence - "As long as you try your best, you don't need to regret it anymore." 】

After he posted it, although it did not completely quell the storm of abuse on the Internet, it did calm down the meaningless quarrel slightly.

Lin Qingshan can only do this.

But not long after he finished tweeting, suddenly his cell phone... rang.

Lin Qingshan immediately took a curious look, and then he saw... a message from Ming Yiyang, the director of Trigger Animation, who he had collaborated with.

Ming Yiyang: "Teacher, congratulations to the ghoul for the big fire!"

He felt a little baffled, but still typed a reply, "Thank you, and congratulations."

Both Ghoul and Zhanchi are dramas co-produced by their C station and Trigger Animation, so the popularity of Ghoul is certainly something worth celebrating for Trigger Animation.

At this moment, Ming Yiyang finally typed again, "So...actually, our boss would like to ask, our cooperation should continue in the future. Zhan Chi is about to come to an end. What are your plans, teacher?"

They have obviously tasted the sweetness. The ghouls who seemed to be the least favored have now become very successful.

Zhan Chi will definitely be very popular and popular as long as it is currently aired.

The second season of "Chainsaw Man" will also end this weekend, and the finale of the final showdown with Santa Claus is definitely indispensable. It is definitely the new show's overlord that has reached the top.

Producing three popular dramas in one quarter... Trigger Animation couldn't even think of it before.

Now it has become a reality.

And all this is because of Lin Qingshan, a talented cartoonist!

Really, any work created by Lin Qingshan can become a hit.

Who is not confused after seeing this and decides to hug this Kunkun who can lay golden eggs?

Ming Yiyang's meaning is also very obvious. Teacher, look, Zhan Chi is coming to an end and there will be no second season.

So can you come up with any new ideas for new works to fill the gaps?

Lin Qingshan was also confused. As a copywriter, he had many excellent works from his previous life in his memory, and he also liked these works very much.

Like "EVA", "JOJO", "Death Note", etc...

Moreover, one of his comic works can also be animated - "Parasite".

He also has some hopes of animating Parasite.

So which animation is best to make next?

Just when he was struggling...

His cell phone rang.

It’s...Ayumi Ito.

Lin Qingshan immediately answered the phone first and asked curiously, "Hello? Ayumi? Moses Moses?"

"Teacher, I am Ayumi..."

Ito Ayumi's voice came over the phone, and then said, "Actually, it's like this... The MADHOUSE company in the industry has made a request to the company to cooperate with Sensei to animate "Parasite"..."

"Also... several animation companies such as Hegemony and Dongyin also have the idea of ​​​​cooperating with you, teacher, to adapt the teacher's comic works."

Lin Qingshan blinked, why...are all these animation companies coming to cooperate with him?
