Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

However, the explosiveness of the episode "The Strange Immortal" still aroused heated discussions among comic fans on the Internet.

In this episode, Zuo Wangdao made his official appearance and pretended to be Li Huowang's old monk from Zhengde Temple to deceive him.

but……

Here comes the problem.

How did Zuowangdao Erbing know what happened to Li Huowang when he was at Zhengde Temple?

Could it be that he has psychic powers like Anci'an's pure mind?

But it doesn't look like it. If he had magical powers like his mind and pure heart, Erbing wouldn't have been successfully attacked by Li Huowang's "Arm Control Technique".

Could it be that... Li Huowang was targeted by Zuowangdao as early as after leaving Qingfeng Temple?

At the same time, the appearance of this group of super fun-loving people like Zuo Wangdao, and comic fans were almost fooled into lameness, which gave rise to the concept of "Ziu Wangdao".

"Guigui...these sit and forget the way, just to fool people, even at the risk of their own lives."

"Is it possible that the old thief Qingshan is just sitting and forgetting! He also drew this comic just for fun to fool us!"

"Old thief Qingshan deceived me so miserably that I almost believed what Erbing said."

"Damn, me too, I thought the monk in the two-cake suit was telling the truth, but I didn't expect... I was almost fooled!"

"Old thief Qingshan, this Zuowangdao is a real hammer, super Zuowangdao!"

"Big news, "The Mystery" is ready to be animated. Station C is cooperating with Trigger Animation to produce it! Lightspeed Studio, which has produced "Cyberpunk 2077", also said that it will produce a 3A masterpiece of the same name as "The Mystery"!"

"!!! What?! Is "The Strange Fairy" animated so soon? There is also a 3A masterpiece with the same name??"

"There are now more than 50 chapters in "The Strange Immortal". With the reputation of the old thief Qingshan, it is not surprising that it will be animated."

"Ah? I checked, and there is no such content on the official websites of Station C and Trigger Animation, and neither is Lightspeed Studio."

"Holy crap! I was deceived! There is a Zuowangdao here!"

"I lied to you, look! There are pictures and the truth [pictures]."

"real?"

"It's fake. This picture belongs to P. This guy is sitting on the road!"

"Hahahaha I'm super! Sit! Forget! Dao! You believe it! You really believe it!"

…

Next, there was indeed a group of comic fans who called themselves "Zuowangdao" and began to publish all kinds of false information online.

"Fist of Fire" is about to be made into a movie, the second part of "Edge Walker" is about to be released, and there are even rumors that Lin Qingshan is getting married to Gu Qianli...

It directly deceived many fans of Lin Qingshan's comics, and even came to Lin Qingshan's official accounts to ask questions.

Suddenly, another meme emerged from Lin Qingshan's works - "Sitting and Forgetting the Way".

In order to make people look real, various means are used frequently. P-pictures are nothing. There is also a comic fan with good computer skills who made an "official" webpage for the promotion of the game "The Strange Fairy". It looks straight and clear. It looks like something is happening.

But after you browse for a long time, a mocking video will suddenly pop up on the website. It is a dynamic comic clip made by comic fans using Zai Wangdao from the comic "The Strange Fairy".

Just like Lin Qingshan's famous "Sitting and Killing" dynamic cartoon in his previous life, with a magical BGM, it is full of satire.

At the same time, the meme "Ziu Wangdao" has become similar to the "Vietnam War Veterans", a group that people need to be wary of but can be seen everywhere and will pop up at any time.

The popularity of Lin Qingshan's "The Weird Immortal" is also getting higher and higher, although no matter how high it is, it still ranks first.

But for the comic industry, "The Strange Fairy" is attracting more and more comic fans, and peripheral sales and electronic sales are also getting better and better, which has increased the quarterly financial report profits of the comic magazine a lot.

Immediately, the senior management of the comic industry expressed their satisfaction.

But there was one thing... they were not satisfied.

"De'an, why hasn't Mr. Itchy Rat resumed the serialization of "Gods"?"

Yang Dahai, the editor-in-chief of the comics industry, looked at the editor-in-chief of "Protoss" Gudean in front of him with some seriousness and said.

After the "Odin's Abyss" chapter ended, "Protoss" has not resumed serialization for five consecutive months and has been in a state of suspension.

You must know that although "Protoss" currently has a bad reputation, its popularity and sales are still good.

At least if it continues to be serialized, it will definitely be able to provide a lot of income to the comic industry.

However, Yang Shuzhun has not resumed the serialization of "Clan of Gods" for a long time. He has not submitted the manuscript, and the comics industry has nothing to do.

In fact, in the past, the comics industry would basically not care about popular cartoonists with such achievements.

There are even some veterans who have tried to take a break from publishing for more than half a year, but the comic industry just urged them a little bit and would never press them like this.

After all, comic companies and cartoonists achieve mutual success.

In this parallel world, the comics industry is the largest and most popular, but it does not mean that it is only the comics industry.

There are also many popular cartoonists who come from other comic magazines outside the comic industry.

So Yang Dahai actually doesn't want to push popular cartoonists like Yang Shuzhun into trouble.

But...just because he doesn't want to, doesn't mean that his higher-ups don't want to.

The comics editor-in-chief does not mean that he is the top group of people in the comics industry. At most, he is a senior management in the comics industry, and he can manage his editors.

But compared with the CEOs and directors above, he also works part-time.

It just so happens that the top management has also spoken. They hope that... the comic world will be more commercialized. Although they also respect the cartoonists, the cartoonists cannot be too reckless.

They are even dissatisfied with the ownership of the comic copyright. Now the comic copyright contract still stipulates that the ownership belongs to the cartoonists.

The comic world only has joint management rights and a part of the profit sharing.

Although this is already considered that the comic world has a lot of initiative, they are still dissatisfied, and there are even rumors that they want to split the copyright of the works 50-50.

The cartoonists and them jointly own the copyright of the works.

Yang Dahai is also somewhat resistant to this approach, but there is a huge gap between him and the top decision-makers of the company above.

He is very helpless. He can't help but think that maybe this is related to the company being gradually eroded by foreign Israeli capital in recent years.

If there were no new directors, maybe the comic world would not become like this.

But he is powerless to resist and can only follow the orders from above.

Like now... "The Gods" does not resume serialization, which harms the interests of the comic world. Yang Dahai will interrogate Yang Shuzhun, the comic author of "The Gods".

Gudean was also a little surprised, why Yang Dahai suddenly changed his previous kindness and began to ask about the author of the comic who was on hiatus.

"It seems... the teacher is busy with animation production recently, and he hopes that the second season of "Protoss" can be produced better."

Gudean said, "And... it seems that Mr. Yangyangshu has overturned the plot concept of "Protoss" and plans to reconstruct the subsequent more grand plot."

Yang Shuzhun actually didn't plan to serialize "Protoss" for so long. After the Black Moon Tide chapter, he planned to fill the hole of Chu Zihan Odin, and then finally reach the finale.

However, when the Odin Abyss chapter was serialized halfway and gradually complained by comic fans about the plot collapse, Yang Shuzhun changed his mind a little.

No... it's not willing to end like this.

"Protoss" is the best and most popular comic he has created so far, how could it end like this?

And you said that there is no emotional drama between the protagonist and the heroine, right? Well, next he will arrange a thrilling and beautiful emotional drama between the protagonist and Nono, then you will not have any objections, right?

So he dug and dug, and dug out a lot of settings, and planned to release them all at once in the next chapter of the return of the mourners, to show everyone his talent!

However, Yang Shuzhun thought so, but apart from those settings, he was entangled again, and didn't know how to arrange the next plot.

In addition, the second season of "God Clan" animation is also on the agenda, so he plans to... cooperate with the animation company to produce the second season of "God Clan" animation first.

"Chainsaw Man" animation can also break the circle, so his "God Clan" has no reason not to be able to do it.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Shuzhun is really preparing to take an unprecedented break for more than a year.

And in this world, no cartoonist has tried to take a break for more than a year.

Even in Lin Qingshan's previous life, there are only a handful of works that have tried to take a break for more than a year.

Needless to say, the famous one is Togashi Yoshihiro's "Hunter x Hunter", which has been suspended for more than a year many times, a record that no one can break.

There are also comics like "Land of the Lustrous", which was suspended for a year and a half before being resumed, and a work called "Glass Dragon", which is not very famous in China.

But in Lin Qingshan's previous life...

Yang Shuzhun's other self in the parallel world, Teacher Yang Zhi, wrote "Dragon Clan", and often did not move for a long time after finishing it, and only published the next one when everyone almost forgot about it.

Especially after the third part, the speed of publishing books was really... very slow.

"Let's let Mr. Itchy Mouse resume the serialization of "God Clan" as soon as possible."

Yang Dahai sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll call Mr. Itchy Mouse myself, Dean, you go out first."

"Okay, editor-in-chief."

Good Dean immediately walked out of Yang Dahai's office. After hearing the voice of Yang Dahai on the phone behind him, he was a little confused.

Why has the comic world changed in recent years?

Is it really because of the changes in the upper level?

He suddenly felt a little uneasy. Wouldn't the comic industry... have even bigger changes next?

As a senior editor who has worked in the comic industry for more than a decade, he was a little afraid of the unknown changes.

He still hoped that the comic industry would continue like this.

The comic industry was already No. 1 in the comic industry. It didn't need any changes at all. It would still be No. 1.

But the thoughts of the company's top management were something that they, the employees, would never understand.

Gu Dean shook his head and decided to visit Yang Shuzhun's home later to talk about this matter.
