Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

“…C Station’s strategy for the next year is to cooperate with the major animation production companies present here to produce more self-made TV series.”

“…In addition to the works that have been prepared for animation, such as “Flame Fist”, “Dao Weiyixian”, “God Clan”, and “Jujutsu Kaisen”, more original script TV series will be produced…”

“…In terms of cost, C Station will give production funds based on the initial review scores of the TV series scripts and settings…”

“…In terms of production, C Station will provide certain assistance to the animation production department that has produced popular works such as “Kill! Red Eyes”, “Mado Ghoul”, and “Fate Zero” with its partners in the past…”

“…We will also discover more outstanding animation producers, create more TV series scripts together, and produce TV series with the major animation production companies present here…”

…

As the New Year is approaching, C Station has released explosive news one after another.

The first is several popular comic works now, such as Lin Qingshan’s 18+ comic work “Flame Fist”, which has never been animated before.

Now, even "Dao Wei Yi Xian", which ranks first in popularity and performance, is about to be animated after the animation project is approved.

In response, comic fans said, "My youth is over!"

Oh my god! "Yan Quan" and "Dao Wei Yi Xian" can actually be animated.

And Lin Qingshan's works are not just as simple as "Yan Quan" and "Dao Wei Yi Xian" being animated. His short comic "Goodbye Eri" has also been bought by a domestic film and television company, and is ready to be remade into a live-action art movie.

And "Parasyte", which has been animated and filmed as a derivative American TV series, has also been bought and is planned to be made into a movie.

And it just so happens that the protagonist Shinichi is played by Gu Yuege who appeared in "Parasyte: Gray Army" before.

Even Lin Qingshan's less popular horror comic "Vortex" has been bought by WB Films and is ready to be made into a horror movie.

For a while, Lin Qingshan was the most popular.

After all, the influence of film and television dramas and animations is far different.

Even in this world, the Republic's ACG culture is developing very well, but its influence is still slightly inferior to that of film and television dramas.

Just like the ACG subculture of Lin Qingshan's previous life in Japan compared to the film and television entertainment industry, even if it has become a national economy, it is still not as influential as film and television dramas, especially TV dramas.

The Republic of this world is the same. No matter how well comics and animations develop, they are still slightly inferior to movies in terms of influence.

So whether it can be adapted into a film and television drama is almost equivalent to whether it can break through the circle on a large scale.

Just like the previous "Edge Walker".

"Purple Air from the East" and "True Dragon God Selection" have actually experienced the journey of film and television drama, but... obviously not as high as the "Edge Walker" movie.

And Lin Qingshan has now fully demonstrated the excellence of his works, so he is trying again.

Shooting "Goodbye Eri" and "Parasyte" is the first attempt of domestic film companies.

And WB Films, after the success of "Edge Walker" and "Parasyte: Gray Army", has great faith in Lin Qingshan.

Then after some consideration, he decided to remake the manga "Uzumaki".

Lin Qingshan really became famous at home and abroad and became one of the most popular cartoonists in the world.

Of course, the explosive news from C Station is about the two works of Lin Qingshan that were animated, "Fist of Fire" and "The Way of Strange Immortal".

All comic fans are looking forward to what will happen after the animation of these two "psychotic masterpieces".

In addition, C Station has also reached a large number of animation copyright transactions with the comic world, but...

The negotiators on the comic world side asked for a lot of money, and the two squid people came to negotiate the copyright issue.

It is said that the squid people are the smartest people in the world who know how to do business, but during the negotiation between C Station and them, only two words were felt...

Greed.

It really asked for a lot of money. The animation copyright of the popular manga "Jujutsu Kaisen" dared to require a minimum of 2 million and 50% of the broadcast and advertising dividends.

Too greedy.

After all, "Jujutsu Kaisen" is not very popular at present, and it has not been tested in the animation market.

Although Lin Qingshan knew that "Jujutsu Kaisen" was a super IP, the staff of Station C did not know it.

However, the other party was just threatening, and the deal was finally concluded.

There were also several popular comics, and the copyrights were signed.

Especially the animation copyright of the third season of "Protoss", which was the highlight.

Everyone knows that the most exciting plot of "Protoss" is in the Black Moon Tide part of the third season.

But in fact, many animation production companies are a little scared.

This is naturally because of the failure of the first and second seasons of "Protoss". The second season is not a failure.

But compared with the expected expectations, the performance of the second season is still not satisfactory.

First of all, it is the original work. It is well known that the plot of the original work will affect the animation being broadcast.

The Return of the Mourner chapter of "Protoss" is still getting worse and worse.

Although Yang Shuzhun made a lot of efforts in the follow-up, he often took a break, and then took a break for a month, or even two months, and then came back to serialize.

However, the subsequent plot still couldn't stop being bad, and a new female character Christina appeared.

And this female character has an ambiguous plot with the protagonist Yang Mingfei.

Why do I say again?

Because since the third part, all the new female characters are like this.

Even in the previous Odin's Abyss chapter, after Yang Mingfei took over the position of the Student Union President of Xisa, he also took over Xisa's Lace Girls Group.

Among them, Yang Mingfei's Student Union Secretary is also a new female character, and she also has an ambiguous plot with him.

However, in the Odin's Abyss chapter, more of the scenes are about Chen Nuonuo, the senior sister that Yang Mingfei is obsessed with, so everyone has overlooked this new female character.

But now a new female character Christina has appeared, and she has an ambiguous plot with the protagonist.

Then let's start to count Yang Shuzhun's crimes.

It belongs to eating in the bowl, staring at the pot, and thinking about yesterday.

The plot where Eri died for Yang Mingfei made the fans feel sad, so the plot that the protagonist is obsessed with the senior sister and a new female character likes it is disgusting.

There are also many loopholes in other settings and plots.

Many comic fans have begun to turn into haters, counting the loopholes and shortcomings in the plot and settings of "Protoss".

The popularity of "Protoss" has dropped to eleventh!

Many people even think that "Protoss" may be cut short.

Therefore, the decline in popularity is too outrageous, and the public opinion is not good.

The second season of "Protoss" animation was slightly implicated, but the most important thing is that its quality has problems again.

There are constant problems of all sizes. The famous scenes and plots are slightly okay, but the nonsensical and unfunny jokes and many problems seriously affect the viewing experience.

Now, even if they know that the Black Moon Tide chapter of "Protoss" is very popular and excellent, many animation production companies are somewhat discouraged.

After all... "Protoss" Season 3 is destined to be produced as a full-year series because of the scope of the Black Moon Tide chapter of the original work.

If a lot of costs are invested and the results are still poor in the end, it will be a loss.

At this time, C Station came out and said that it didn't matter.

After all, they are now focusing on being rich and powerful, and they are just afraid of losing money.

So they filmed it.

Yang Shuzhun was actually relieved and happy.

And he really hopes that C Station can give the production of the third season of "Protoss" animation to Trigger Animation.

He has always believed that the failure of the first two seasons of "Protoss" animation is entirely due to the problems of the animation production company.

If it is handed over to Trigger Animation to produce, there is no reason why his "Protoss" animation will not be good.

This time he also told the people in the animation production department of C Station that he hopes that the third season of "Protoss" animation will be in charge of Trigger Animation Production Company.

In this regard...

Even the staff of Trigger Animation said, sorry, there is no time.

Because they already have several hot animation projects on hand.

The ghoul series, the Fate series, and the new "Neon Genesis Evangelion" that has just been established are not only highly expected by Lin Qingshan, but also the new series "Neon Genesis Evangelion" that they are quite optimistic about after reading the script and setting.

How could they have time to take over the mess of "Protoss", and it has to be a mess of annual animations.

In fact, as C Station acquired a number of copyrights for comic animations, it is obviously not enough to cooperate with Trigger Animation alone.

Therefore, C Station had already started to cooperate with other animation production companies before this. For example, the animation of "Parasyte" was produced in cooperation with Skeleton Animation.

And then, C Station began to cooperate with many animation production companies that were willing to cooperate with them.

Fang Zhaozhi, president and director of SHAFT Animation Production Company, was sitting at the bottom of the strategic announcement meeting held by C Station at this time, listening to the president of C Station, Gu Qianli, reading out the strategy of C Station in the future.

He regretted it a little. Looking at the people around him, who were all Skeleton Animation Directors and King Power Animation Directors, he felt that he was out of place.

After all, his animation production company was definitely just a small workshop in front of them.

In fact, it was indeed the case. He and several college classmates and several high school buddies opened an animation production company in a rush after graduation.

However, they have only produced a short animation with only three episodes.

Because of the unique style of painting - too childish, people are currently complaining that they should produce children's animations such as Magical Girl and Little Superman.

He and his friends were naturally hit hard.

However, he has not given up completely. He just voted for cooperation on the commercial cooperation website of C Station with a try-it attitude.

But unexpectedly, C Station really sent them a meeting invitation.

However, Fang Zhaozhi didn't think so, thinking that this was probably a small meeting.

However, when he came, he immediately found something wrong.

How come the conference venue is so big and formal?

And what about those famous animation production companies marked on the meeting seats, such as Skeleton Animation Production, Wangquan Animation Production, Dongyin Animation Production... etc.?

However, it was too late for him to regret it, and he had to hold a meeting here.

"... The meeting is over. Next, please follow the instructions of the staff. The heads of the major animation production companies go to their respective rooms and wait. We will send people to hand over the cooperation drama projects with you."

After Gu Qianli above finished speaking, Li Zhiqiu beside her stood up and said with a smile.

"Fortunately... the meeting is over, but I should be able to leave later, right?"

Fang Zhaozhi whispered in a low voice.

But just when he was muttering...

"Is it Director Fang?"

A male staff member from Station C came to him and asked with a smile.

"Ah...oh, it's me, what's wrong?"

Fang Zhaozhi was startled and asked quickly.

"Please come with me, and we will hand over the cooperation project with your company privately."

The staff member said immediately.

"Forehead……"

Fang Zhaozhi was a little scared.

ah? He collaborated with Station C to produce a drama?

A small workshop like their company?

Thinking of the short animation he produced before, the few viewers commented that their animation was "only suitable for children's animations such as magical girls", and he felt a little inferior.

But he still bit the bullet and followed the staff into a room with computers and large-screen monitors.

The room is also very large, it looks like an independent private room in a hotel that can accommodate more than thirty people for dinner.

After all, this is a hotel.

However, the private room was transformed into a small conference room.

The staff asked him to sit here and wait, but he did not leave here. Instead, he stayed here waiting with Fang Zhaozhi.

until……

"Hello! Is anyone here?!"

An incoherent voice came from outside the room.

Fang Zhaozhi was a little confused, but still replied, "Yes, someone is here."

"That's it, I'm in!"

Just like that, a person who was quite familiar but very strange to Fang Zhaozhi appeared in front of him.

"hello!"

Lin Qingshan waved his hand and greeted him.

"You are... Teacher Aoyama!"

Fang Zhaozhi suddenly became excited and said with some tongue-tied words, "Teacher Qingshan... I am actually your idol... No, you are my fan... No, no! I am your fan!"

"ah?"

Lin Qingshan was also a little confused by his words, but he soon smiled and said, "Ah, I understand, it's okay, don't be so nervous!"

At this moment, Fang Zhaozhi suddenly became disappointed and said, "I didn't expect Teacher Qingshan to come here. In this case, I can't lie to you, Teacher Qingshan... Teacher, our company doesn't have much experience in animation production at all. You don’t have to cooperate with us.”

"Ah? I saw your company's resume..."

Lin Qingshan said, "Didn't we produce an animated work called "Skyrim Abyss" in June this year? It's pretty good."

"That one... was terrible. The audience said our painting style was childish. They even said we should make animations like magical girls."

Fang Zhaozhi sighed and said, "Actually, our company is all fans of Mr. Aoyama's comics, and we wanted to make an animation imitating "Chainsaw Man", but unfortunately the style of painting is not very good."

"No! I feel fine!"

Lin Qingshan smiled and said, "I like it very much! It is especially suitable for the drama project I will be working with you next."

"?"

Fang Zhaozhi blinked, a little confused.

"Right!"

Lin Qingshan suddenly thought of it, and then said seriously to Fang Zhaozhi, "Next, I will use a new pseudonym as the screenwriter of this drama. Don't tell anyone about it then."

"New...pseudonym?"

Fang Zhaozhi asked curiously.

"That's right! New fake...new pen name!"

Lin Qingshan raised his thumb and said, "This is a helpless move to prevent everyone from guessing the plot. My new pen name is Urobuchi Nobu! Please give me your advice!"

"Of course, what we are going to talk about next is the collaborative drama project."

He smiled again and said, "Isn't it true that your company's painters are suitable for producing magical girl dramas? Then it's just right, the name of the drama we are going to produce next is..."

"Puella Magi Madoka Magica!"
