Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 351 Persuasion to cooperate
Trigger anime.

"...That's what happened."

Ming Yiyang looked at Trigger Animation's current CEO Zhong Yayan and said, "Should we cooperate with Station C..."

Not only he and Zhong Yayan were present at the scene, but also other senior executives of the class animation and several animation directors who were as excellent and experienced as Ming Yiyang had gathered here to discuss what decision they should make for Trigger Animation now.

Zhong Yayan also felt a bit embarrassed. On the one hand, there was the threat from the online video platform Youdou.com, and on the other hand, there was the newly emerging online platform C Station, as well as a young cartoonist named Lin Qingshan who was very popular at the time.

In particular, Lin Qingshan, a popular cartoonist and screenwriter who has proven his ability with his works, said that he could serve as a screenwriter and be responsible for part of the original drawings of the animation production.

This makes it hard for him to balance...

but……

"As an animation fan... you still have to have some backbone."

Zhong Yayan gritted her teeth and said, "Does Youdou.com really think it is invincible by doing this? It is really too bullying!"

"So what do you mean, Mr. Zhong?"

Ming Yi Yang said somewhat excitedly.

"but……"

However, Zhong Yayan was still a little hesitant and said, "After all, we are a company. Trigger Animation is not just my company, it is everyone's company..."

"What do you think?"

One of the senior executives thought for a moment and said, "Youdou.com... is indeed a bit too much, but by doing this, doesn't it also prove that they regard C Station as a rival?"

"That's right."

Another person said, "From the current perspective... Youdou.com has used this unconventional method, which proves that Station C... has already threatened them."

“I’m actually optimistic about the potential of Station C…”

Another senior executive also took a deep breath and said, "The most important thing is that even though Station C hasn't officially gone public yet, it already has a sense of dominance in our ACG cultural circle. I think once they get through this difficult time, their future development will be unstoppable."

"Besides, we are an animation production company and we are in the ACG culture circle. Although Youdou.com is quite popular and hot right now, its momentum in the ACG culture circle is not even as good as that of C Station."

The first senior executive who spoke immediately said seriously, "Instead of adding icing on the cake, it is better to provide timely assistance..."

Zhong Yayan was thoughtful when she heard this, and the balance in her heart gradually shifted towards Station C.

But he still looked at the animation directors and asked, "What about you guys? What do you think?"

"What I'm more curious about is... the old thief Qingshan... Ah no..."

Another director, Shi Jincan, immediately looked at Ming Yiyang curiously and asked, "Teacher Qingshan has discussed his script with you. What is it like in detail? What do you think?"

"Teacher Aoyama just told me the names of the works. One is called "Matou Ghoul" and the other is called "Kill! Red Eyes"."

Ming Yiyang immediately said, "The general setting of "Magic City Ghoul" is that a sub-human creature appeared in the world, and its main food can only be meat and coffee. In terms of the combat system, when the ghoul is fighting or eating, its eyes will turn into red eyes. Its body strength is much greater than that of humans, and it has a hunting organ called kagune. Each ghoul's kagune is different, and its power is also different."

"The protagonist is an ordinary human boy named Kaneki, who is transformed into a ghoul and comes into contact with the world of ghouls."

"It's the same as Parasyte again..."

Several directors spoke thoughtfully.

"Well... the teacher said that he could send us some of the design drawings and character drawings he had in mind."

Ming Yiyang added, "The general setting of 'Kill! Akame ga Mie' is that it is set in a Western fantasy setting in another world. Because the empire is corrupt, the protagonist meets a group of friends who resist the tyranny of the empire, and eventually succeeds in overthrowing the corrupt empire!"

"He also told me about the battle force system setting. In that world, about a thousand years ago, in order to maintain long-term rule, the founding emperor of the empire used unimaginable financial resources and power to summon the world's top craftsmen. They used legendary super-dangerous species as materials, rare metals such as Orichalcum, and a large number of lost secrets to develop forty-eight weapons that cannot be replicated. They called them "Imperial Equipment." "

"There is actually no magic in this world, only swords. Although imperial weapons can bring extraordinary powers similar to magic, some extremely dangerous imperial weapons require huge risks."

"I really like Mr. Aoyama's unique view of power..."

Zhong Yayan also said with some emotion.

He also likes Lin Qingshan's comic works very much. From "Edgewalker" to "Parasyte", it seems that most of the supernatural powers in Lin Qingshan's works are like this.

The cyberpsychosis that may be caused by prosthetic transformation, the price of body and life span that must be paid for making a contract with the devil, and the mental alienation caused by symbiosis with parasitic beasts...

Perhaps only "Flame Fist" is slightly better, as the Blesser's ability in it actually has no negative effects.

That's right...the fate of most of them is not much better.

"So what do you think of the preliminary settings of these two works?"

Zhong Yayan continued to look at Ming Yiyang and other directors and asked.

"Honestly... I can't tell what it is, but this is Mr. Aoyama's work..."

Another director, Tang Siyi, said so.

Yes... This is Lin Qingshan's work. To put it bluntly, will Lin Qingshan's work disappoint people?
Apart from other things, this popular cartoonist with mental problems is truly admirable for his creative talent.

But at this moment.

"Hi, hi, hi! Director Ming, here I come!"

A somewhat incongruous voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

Then the door was opened and Lin Qingshan came in carrying a briefcase.

The several Trigger Animation employees behind him tried to stop him but failed.

They also felt a little embarrassed. Several people were unable to stop Lin Qingshan, who looked so thin.

But they really didn’t expect that Lin Qingshan’s strength... was so great.

He doesn’t look very strong, but he’s as strong as a bull!

"Teacher Aoyama?!"

Ming Yiyang was stunned for a moment and said, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to show you my design."

Lin Qingshan said with sparkling eyes, "Hey! These are some of the main setting pictures of "Mato Ghoul" and "Kill! Akame ga Kill"."

He simply unzipped his briefcase and took out... a stack of drawings!
Lin Qingshan placed it directly on the table and spread out the exquisite drawings.

Zhong Yayan and the others subconsciously took a few of them and looked at them...

In Zhong Yayan's hand, on the exquisite painted sketch, a brown-haired young man was holding a big sword upside down in his hand, standing with blood on his forehead, and seemed to be shouting loudly.

"Tatsumi is a young swordsman from the countryside. His imperial weapon is the "Devil Haunted"."

The bubble on the drawing reads this introduction.

There is another drawing that shows a cool suit of armor. Unlike ordinary ancient armor, this armor is obviously more like a full-body armor like Kamen Rider.

"The armor of the imperial weapon made from the ferocious dragon-shaped dangerous species "Tyrande". When called upon, the sturdy armor will automatically fly out, enhancing the ability of the wearer. The imperial weapon boasts of its iron wall-like defense and is equipped with the attached weapon "Nine Dead Ghosts". "

Similarly, the bubble box above also says settings. Then, other executives of Trigger Animation also have the appearance and settings of various characters and imperial weapons of "Zan! Akame ga Mitsu".

"Red eyes... The imperial weapon "One cut kills Murasame." "

"Leone...Imperial weapon "King of Beasts"."

"Main... The imperial weapon "Romantic Battery"."

"Brad... the imperial weapon "Devil Haunts"."

"Esdeath, the youngest and strongest general in the empire, later the leader of the special police organization "Hunter", and the imperial weapon "Magic God Appearance". "

……

The main characters of "Akame ga Kill" and the imperial tools they control appear in the drawings.

It can be said that these settings are very eye-catching at first glance, and the imperial weapon combat system itself is actually very discussed.

Just based on such diverse and special settings, it is quite popular.

For example, this is the case with "The Legend of Qin". At the beginning, everyone was actually very interested in the "Ten Famous Swords" in it. The famous swords such as Yuanhong, Tai'a, Shuihan, Tianwen, etc. are all very popular.

In addition to this, there are character drawings from another work, "Magic City Ghoul", which were also reviewed by Zhong Yayan and others.

The human and ghoul forms of characters such as Kaneki, Touka, Kamishiro Rize, store manager Fang Gongshan, etc. were all presented in the drawings by Lin Qingshan with his superb painting skills.

Especially Kaneki, he actually spent three drafts to draw, human form, ghoul form and white-haired form.

After reading it, Zhong Yayan and the others couldn't help but marvel at Lin Qingshan's superb painting skills. They also felt that these settings and characters... were really good.

Some animations win just by having outstanding settings and character images.

But the most important thing is of course the plot. The setting and characters are outstanding, but how many animations whose plots are based on this have failed miserably?
but……

This is Aoyama, the cartoonist who created "Edgewalker", "Chainsaw Man", "Fist of Fire" and "Parasyte"!

The plot of his other main screenwriter work "Kamen Rider Ryuki" is becoming more and more exciting. It is leading the "Kamen Rider" series to rebirth, and it is showing signs of becoming a masterpiece.

Is this cartoonist's plot setting very impressive?
Even if you say that the plot settings of previous works are brilliant, it does not mean that the plot settings of future works will be brilliant.

That doesn't make sense either.

If that's the case, then there's nothing worth believing in this world.

Just because this brand of food did not have safety issues before doesn’t mean there won’t be in the future.

You can say that, but just because of this groundless speculation, you think that the plot of a cartoonist with no criminal record will definitely be bad...

That's too much.

"What do you think?"

Lin Qingshan looked at everyone after they had finished looking at the drawings of the two works, and immediately smiled and said.

"Hmm... Teacher, these drawings you have set up are pretty good."

Ming Yi Yang nodded and said.

Several characters and settings are very prominent and distinct. At least he feels that these settings are not as eye-catching as the cyborg transformation system in "Edgewalker".

But at least it is not inferior to the demon combat system setting of "Chainsaw Man".

Especially the setting of "Imperial Tool", which I feel is a very good setting that has attracted much discussion.

"Trust me! These two animations will definitely be a hit!"

Lin Qingshan immediately patted his chest and said, "And Station C will definitely be more powerful than Youdou.com in the future. However, if the other party makes an effort, we can't just give in!"

He said this with a smile, which made Zhong Yayan and others curious.

"Is Station C going to make some big move next?"

Zhong Yayan said softly.

"Yeah...we are planning to start live streaming and short video models."

Lin Qingshan said casually, "This is... a very powerful move!"

This world doesn’t have live streaming or short videos yet, so naturally, no one knows how powerful these two weapons are.

These are also the two major functions that Station C has been preparing for a long time.

It’s just that a function like live streaming requires relevant national licenses.

But Station C has recently obtained it, so it can naturally start its own "journey to the king"!

By launching live streaming and short video modes and continuing to develop ACG culture, it will definitely be able to rise smoothly and become a giant.

Zhong Yayan didn't know why, but he had a strong premonition...what Lin Qingshan said was true.

The most important thing is that C Station has the support of the genius creator Lin Qingshan, and it feels that it has already established an invincible position in ACG culture.

Besides, as the senior executive of Trigger Animation said just now, it is better to help someone in need than to add icing on the cake...

They won’t remember you for working with Youdou.com.

But if they cooperate with Station C, and Station C becomes really successful in the future, then they will be the only animation production company that stands with Station C...

That will definitely get you a lot of soup!

"That……"

Zhong Yayan hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "Okay! We at Trigger Animation agree to Mr. Aoyama's conditions and choose to cooperate with Station C to produce animations!"

Lin Qingshan immediately revealed a satisfied smile, and said with a grin, "Then...thank you very much...um..."

He was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly, "I don't think I know what your name is yet."

Suddenly, the originally harmonious atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little awkward.

Zhong Yayan was a little helpless. It turned out that this Mr. Qingshan... didn't even know who he was?

"Teacher Aoyama... This is Zhong Yayan, the current executive president of Trigger Animation."

Ming Yiyang quickly whispered to Lin Qingshan.

"Oh! It's Mr. Zhong!"

Lin Qingshan seemed to have no idea what embarrassment was, and continued to say with a smile, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation with Mr. Zhong and Trigger Society in the future~~"

"It's a pleasure to work with you..."

Zhong Yayan immediately smiled again and said.
