Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

"Teacher, do you think I really don't need to wear formal clothes?"

Hearing Yuta Akutami's somewhat nervous voice, Lin Qingshan turned and looked at him.

Today, Yuta Akutami was wearing a slightly formal casual outfit, a solid-color suit jacket and a sweater inside, but...

"Don't you wear long johns?"

Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said, "It's November now, and the weather is still quite cold."

Although November in the Magic City is not as cold as the northern part of the Republic where you have to wrap yourself up like a dumpling, at least respect winter and wear a pair of long johns inside.

Looking at Yuta Akutami's thin and straight legs, it is obvious that this young man is only wearing a pair of pants.

In order to appear more formal at the upcoming Comic Newcomer Award Ceremony.

Even before this, Yuta Akutami asked Lin Qingshan if he wanted to wear formal clothes to this Comic Festival.

But of course Lin Qingshan thought it was not necessary.

This is not a defense.

But after all, it was Yuta Akutami's first time to attend a manga gathering in the comics industry, so it was normal to be nervous.

"Don't worry, Yuta. In fact, during the Rookie Awards and the annual meeting, the teachers all dressed casually. You are already very good like this."

Ito Ayumi said helplessly at this time.

After saying that, she glanced at Lin Qingshan next to her with a strange look on her face.

Because Yuta Akutami was familiar with Lin Qingshan, the work "Jujutsu Kaisen" that he participated in the Rookie Awards was officially serialized by Ito Ayumi.

Ito Ayumi is now an experienced and veteran manga editor, and can give Yuta Akutami a lot of advice.

However, she sometimes found that Yuta Akutami's ideas were a bit self-indulgent. She often looked at the plot of the comics and wondered why the character Gojo Satoru appeared more frequently than the protagonist Yuji?

It was mainly because he was the main character in the two or three episodes of the comics, and his appearance rate was higher than that of the protagonist Yuji.

At this time, the "fourth episode" draft of the four consecutive episodes of this plot was still drawing Gojo Satoru, which was not right.

This seems to mean that Gojo Satoru wants to replace Yuji as the protagonist.

Therefore, Ito Ayumi quickly stopped Akutami Yuta's plot arrangement seriously.

After all, it is common for female supporting roles to become the female protagonist, but it is impossible for a male supporting role to replace the original male protagonist and become the new male protagonist.

Even if this character is very popular later, it cannot be done this way. At most, he can open a spin-off or an independent chapter as the male protagonist, and there will be no problem.

Akutami Yuta is still a new manga artist, and he will listen to Lin Qingshan and his editor Ito Ayumi.

He immediately changed it later and did not directly turn "Jujutsu Kaisen" into "Gojo Satoru".

It can only be said that the one-eyed cat teacher is still relatively humble when there is no outstanding achievement.

However, the one-eyed cat teacher in Lin Qingshan's previous life probably committed the sin of stubbornness and arrogance that all popular manga artists have because of his good performance.

However, no matter what, the performance of "Jujutsu Kaisen" is still the most popular among new works, and he should be the champion of this year's comics world rookie award.

However, this year's rookie award will not be awarded until next year.

They are now attending the ceremony for last year's comics world rookie award, and it is also a ceremony for rookie cartoonists to get in touch with veteran cartoonists.

"You kid, you want style instead of temperature, right?"

Chen Chunqiang hugged Akutami Yuta and said, "But it's too late, you will wait until your legs are numb from the cold."

As Lin Qingshan's comic assistants, he and Wu Shiqing can also enter the rookie award ceremony together.

However, he and Wu Shiqing have actually decided... After the first month of the Spring Festival next year, they will concentrate on preparing their own works.

At that time, they will work hard on their own path as professional cartoonists!

This rookie award ceremony can also be regarded as a new cartoonist's identity, to see the world in advance.

Lin Qingshan thought about it for a moment, and then said to Akutami Yuta, "Come, I have extra long johns in my closet."

We can't let Akutami Yuta go to the venue in such a cold.

Akutami Yuta was a little embarrassed, but in the end, under Lin Qingshan's insistence, he went in and put on a pair of long johns.

...

On the other side.

The popular cartoonist pen name Itchy Mouse who was also going to attend the Comic Newcomer Award Ceremony was here.

Yang Shuzhun was going to the Comic Newcomer Award Ceremony with his editor Gu De'an, but on the way they started talking about the next plot setting and direction of the comic "God Clan".

Gu De'an hoped that Yang Shuzhun would listen to the opinions of the comic fans and stop digging holes.

The doomsday faction, the fact that Xia Mi won the resurrection match and lived in Chu Zihan's body, and the new character Christina, all of these are not needed.

But Yang Shuzhun had his own ideas, which were the settings he had buried before.

For example, why did Yang Mingfei's parents disappear without a trace, but the principal said he had seen Yang Mingfei's parents.

Also, Xiami won the resurrection match because she was a god who had been resurrected a long time ago, and it was impossible for her to not have eggs prepared for resurrection like Zhurong, one of the twin gods of bronze and fire.

As for the new female character... that was another female character with an ambiguous plot arranged for Yang Mingfei.

Isn't this kind of plot what comic fans like to see?

And he also wanted to write a character who was a former godslayer who became a god. He originally wanted to put the plot of the dragon slayer becoming a dragon on Genjishou.

But in the end, he still portrayed Genjishou as a righteous partner, which was not a complete plot of the dragon slayer becoming a dragon.

He hoped that Christina would truly change from a pure godslayer to a vicious god.

After listening to it, Gudean felt that it was still inappropriate. This character was a bit unnecessary in the overall subsequent plot.

If it was another character like Eri who had an ambiguous relationship with the protagonist but died in the end, what was the point?

"...No, this character will be hated by comic fans."

Gudean frowned and persuaded, "Wouldn't it be better to continue the previous style? Just get rid of the final Black Emperor, and then arrange for Zero and the protagonist to be together, Caesar and Chen Nuonuo to be together, Chu Zihan and Susi to be together... That's enough."

"No, no, no, Brother An, I think the character of Chris will definitely be liked by comic fans in the future."

Yang Shuzhun was stubborn and said, "Brother An, believe me, I know you have made a great contribution to the current achievements of "Protoss", but I am the author of the comics, you really have to believe me."

Gudean opened his mouth, a little helpless.

Although he participated in the previous plot and settings of "Protoss" and helped Yang Shuzhun complete a lot of setting creation work.

But "Protoss" is indeed a comic work by Yang Shuzhun alone.

It was okay before, as a cartoonist with little popularity, Yang Shuzhun was still willing to listen to him.

But now that "Protoss" has become a phenomenal and super popular comic, Yang Shuzhun is a little unwilling to listen to him.

Especially in the Tide of the Black Moon chapter, Yang Shuzhun almost ignored most of Gudean's suggestions alone and conceived and completed the plot of this chapter by himself.

The appearance of a large number of new characters and new settings, while ignoring some loopholes and overly deliberately arranging the tragedy of Eri at the end, are the shortcomings of the Tide of the Black Moon chapter.

Gudean also kindly reminded Yang Shuzhun before.

However, Yang Shuzhun thought that these loopholes and shortcomings were nothing, everything was just for the plot, as long as the plot was good enough, then these could be ignored.

Facts have proved that he was right. The popularity of the Tide of the Black Moon chapter has driven "Protoss" to the top of the popularity list.

There is no doubt that Yang Shuzhun has no problem.

But this also led to the fact that he began to completely ignore Gudean's suggestions in the later Odin's Deep chapter.

As a comic author of a phenomenal and super popular comic, he is fully qualified.

Then... the reputation and popularity of the Odin's Deep chapter began to collapse, and the current Return of the Mourner chapter also had a bad start, and the popularity and reputation fell sharply.

Can you believe that the comic that was once the most popular manga has now dropped to seventh in the weekly popularity ranking at its worst? !

In addition, several interviews with editor-in-chief Yang Dahai made him feel the pressure.

So Gudean couldn't just let Yang Shuzhun go on with his creation. If he continued like this...if "God Clan" completely collapsed, it would be over.

"There is actually no problem with your subsequent creation...but how are you going to fill the gap in the completion of the little devil transaction?"

Gudean took a deep breath and made a concession, but still asked.

Yang Mingfei and the little devil completed the deal.

"Because the content of the deal was actually to kill Odin, but Odin was not killed."

However, Yang Shuzhun actually said, "So Yang Mingfei is not dead yet."

"Okay..."

Gudean gave up, and he finally said, "But because of the plot of your comics, I think what the fans said makes sense. The heroine does not necessarily end up with the hero. The character of Zero is also very good..."

"No, Nono and Yang Mingfei have feelings for each other."

Yang Shuzhun said, "Yang Mingfei saved her in the underground palace that time, and she and Yang Mingfei will have feelings for each other later..."

"It's not a question of whether there is love between the male and female protagonists."

Gudean was even more speechless and said, "It's that you drew Xisa too well before. Aren't you letting the male protagonist steal his friend's fiancée?"

"Xisa will let go for Nono if he really loves Nono."

However, Yang Shuzhun said so.

"Ah?"

Gudean now looked even more shocked.

If you really like someone, you will choose to let go for her... The emotional arrangement routine that is not used in romantic girl comics nowadays, you use this outdated routine in the hot-blooded boy comics...

Just then...

"Teacher, editor Gu, we are here."

Tang Wei, who was the driver in front, stopped the car and said to the two of them.

"Okay..."

Gu De'an said nothing more.

Now he can only believe that Yang Shuzhun's stubbornness can be like the Black Moon Tide chapter, and it will really be no problem and can even restore the second spring of "God Clan".

The three of them got off the car immediately and walked into the venue of the New Man Appreciation Ceremony of the Comic World.

In the venue, new manga artists, old manga artists and various leaders in the industry were chatting happily. This was originally a gathering of comics in the comic world.

Just then, Yang Shuzhun saw that on one side of the venue, many heads of animation production companies were surrounding a "young man", and they even talked to that person with a smile.

The man who was only five years younger than him was already in his thirties, but he didn't look old at all, as if he was under a spell.

He even maintained a tight body and handsome appearance.

No wonder some people on the Internet have begun to give him a niche nickname - "Old Demon".

This person is of course Lin Qingshan, and because of his success in Akagi Kill and Ghoul, as well as the previous "Edge Walker" animation, movie and "Chainsaw Man" animation, many animation production companies naturally want to cooperate with him.

Especially Akagi Kill and Ghoul, the facts prove that even if Lin Qingshan restrains himself a little and doesn't make it too bloody like "Flame Fist" and "Edge Walker", his works can still achieve great success.

This kind of commercial work is much more popular than masterpieces like "Flame Fist" and "Edge Walker" but bloody works.

"Teacher, we at David Production are very sincere and hope to cooperate with you."

"Teacher Aoyama should have completed the cooperation with Trigger Animation recently. Can you consider our Lengqiao Animation next?"

"Teacher, do you have any new ideas for creation recently? We at Hegemony really hope to cooperate with you once!"

"Teacher Aoyama, look at our Tianwang Animation..."

"Teacher Aoyama..."

...

Lin Qingshan responded slowly with a smile, looking very relaxed.

But he was still a little caught off guard.

I didn't expect that when he came to participate in the Newcomer Award Ceremony of the Comic World, he was immediately surrounded by the heads of these animation production companies.

In fact, before this, many animation production companies also wanted to cooperate with C Station and him in the way of Trigger Animation to produce animations, and they kept calling and applying for commercial cooperation.

But Lin Qingshan really couldn't do it. He is not a ninja and really can't do the art of cloning.

Although he doesn't need to take care of the animation of "Chainsaw Man" and "Parasyte" now, that's because these two animations have comics.

He didn't draw comics in this world for the second season of "Ghoul". In addition to the new project "Fate Zero", he is still a cartoonist and serialized "Dao Wei Yi Xian", so he is inevitably busy.

However, he did not completely reject these animation production companies, but said kindly, "Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation at that time... Hahaha, don't worry."

Trigger Animation doesn't seem to like slow-burning animations like "JOJO", "Cowboy Bebop" and "Detective Conan", so he plans to take these slow-burning popular IPs to cooperate with other animation production companies.

At this moment, Lin Qingshan suddenly felt as if someone was looking at him from a distance.

Then he tilted his head slightly and saw Yang Shujun behind the crowd in front of him.

Yang Shujun was looking at him with envy.

"Tickled Mouse Teacher?"

Lin Qingshan blinked, then walked towards Yang Shujun happily and said.
