Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 370: Parasyte’s influence and new drawings
It would be fine if it suppressed "The Protoss" and "The Chosen Dragon".

You should know that "Protoss" has just ended the Tides of Black Moon chapter, and only resumed serialization not long ago and started serializing a new chapter, The Pit of Odin.

"The Chosen Dragon" is also an old background board. The current situation is that the overall plot is still pretty good.

However, the plots of the three chapters in the past two years have been relatively slow, and its author, Mr. Kuxuan, seems to have really run out of ideas. In recent years, "True Dragon Selection" has been repeating the routine of upgrading to defeat the opponent and then changing maps.

The same routine has been repeated more than a dozen times, which has made comic fans a little tired of it.

But even so, the current sales and popularity of "True Dragon Chosen" still make him enough money, so just repeat the routine, at least the popularity of the comic will not collapse suddenly, and no matter how much it collapses, it will always be stable in the top five every week.

It's better than having a sudden big wave just for the sake of fun, and then the popularity and reputation of the comic plummet to the bottom, and then having to force an ending or even chop it off.

The teacher who was working hard on the selection seemed to have little temper and desire because the popularity of "True Dragon Selection" had been suppressed by "Purple Air Coming from the East".

"Purple Air Coming from the East" is different. It has recently reached the final episode stage. During this period, the comic industry and other partners have been promoting "Purple Air Coming from the East", the originator of the longest-running and most popular cultivation comic series.

During this period of time, it has been consistently ranked first in popularity, and its dominant position is unshakable.

However, the final episode of "Parasyte" directly surpassed "Purple Air from the East", which is enough to make people feel amazing.

In fact, although "Parasyte" seems to be unpopular at ordinary times, the perfect landing of the final episode actually brought it excellent reputation.

In addition, Lin Qingshan has already accumulated a lot of fans through his previous comics, and the recent popularity of the movie "Edgewalker" has also brought Lin Qingshan a lot of popularity among passers-by.

Just like in Lin Qingshan’s previous life, after "Jurassic Park" became popular, the sales of the original novel increased a lot.

One of the reasons is that Manjie Comics launched a mobile software. Since mobile phones are popular nowadays, Manjie Comics also launched a mobile version. At the same time, subscribing to comics on the mobile version can also get popularity votes.

It’s just that it originally cost more than 30 yuan to buy a paper magazine, and users of the paper magazine can get five popularity tickets at a time.

It only costs 2 yuan to subscribe to a comic book episode, and you can also get a popularity ticket, so you need 3 popularity tickets on the mobile phone to be equivalent to one popularity ticket of the paper magazine.

But there are too many mobile users...

Moreover, they did not notice a loophole in Manga World, that is, one can get a popularity ticket for subscribing to one chapter of the comic, but it is not limited to the latest chapter to get a popularity ticket.

Magazine users basically buy the magazines, and either use the popularity votes that week or are too lazy to use them.

No one would buy a dozen magazines at once and then get the popularity votes from the inside pages to start voting.

Generally, people will only buy single volumes of comics they like, and will not buy past magazines.

However, mobile phone users can read all the chapters of a comic on their phone in a week, subscribe to a hundred chapters at a time, and cast more than a hundred popularity votes at once.

In addition, mobile phones are too convenient, and some people may not buy comic magazines because a magazine costs more than 30 yuan.

But reading a magazine on a mobile phone only costs 2 yuan per episode, so I might give it a try.

Especially the popularity of the movie "EdgeWalker" has caused everyone to pay attention to Lin Qingshan, whose latest work "Parasyte" has just been completed.

Moreover, comic fans gave "Parasyte" such good reviews on the Internet and software, so these passers-by came to watch "Parasyte", and after looking at the popularity vote, they of course voted for "Parasyte".

It is due to these factors that the popularity of "Parasyte" suddenly surpassed the previous fifth and fourth places from its usual sixth place, "Dragon Chosen", "Protoss" and even "Purple Air from the East" to the top!

But no one has much doubt about the popularity of "Parasyte".

Because "Parasyte" can indeed be regarded as a masterpiece of a generation. It is not very popular at ordinary times, but its quality and reputation are good.

It’s like you are looking at a child who is usually very hardworking and diligent, has a good character, but his grades are always just around the sixth or seventh in the class, which is mediocre.

But if he suddenly got first place in the class in the final exam, you might be a little surprised, but definitely not too surprised, let alone questioning whether the kid cheated or what he did.

In this way, "Parasyte" was successfully completed with both popularity and good reputation.

However, Lin Qingshan and comic fans in the Republic did not know that the comic "Parasyte" simply had a very good reputation in the Republic and did not cause much stir.

But in Europe and America...

With the release of the final chapter of the manga "Parasyte" and the popularity of the movie "EdgeWalker", the comic once again caused an uproar in public opinion there.

……

"Animals also have the right to survive! Humans are parasitic beasts that infest the earth!"

"Give animals rights! Say no to meat-eating and killing!"

"As the most intelligent creatures on earth, humans must consider more!"

"Stop killing innocent lives!"

“How many more species must be extinct before we humans acknowledge our atrocities?!”

……

On the streets, a large number of animal protection association members and environmentalists formed huge teams and demonstrated loudly at the top of their lungs.

This time it really has something to do with Lin Qingshan.

This is different from the previous march under the name of "EdgeWalker", which was essentially a march by workers demanding that major companies raise wages and improve benefits. "EdgeWalker" just happened to be brought along.

This time it was actually caused by Lin Qingshan’s latest completed comic "Parasyte".

After all, "Parasyte" is a comic about environmental protection. Although it contains reflections on human nature and life, it mainly advocates protecting the environment. It just points out the true meaning of environmental protection.

It is not about protecting the earth or other living things. What we really need to protect is human beings themselves.

But this is exactly what Europe and the United States are correct about.

In Europe and the United States, people are very aggressive in promoting environmental protection and animal protection. You can often see people painting their naked bodies and performing performance art parades in the streets.

Or they would use glue to stick themselves to the road, making it impossible for car drivers to pass normally.

Or they would directly form groups to "rob" farms, animal slaughterhouses, and vehicles transporting poultry and livestock, and force the other party to release the animals inside.

The comic "Parasyte" is about environmental protection, and it was drawn by Aoyama, the original author of the recently popular movie "EdgeWalker".

Under this celebrity effect, many environmentalists and animal rights activists came to watch "Parasyte".

After watching it, they were immediately amazed.

Yes! That's right! This comic is right. Humans are the parasites of the earth!

What qualifications do humans have to decide the lives of other creatures?

This is totally wrong!

We are all living beings on Earth. Even though humans are the most intelligent creatures on earth, we cannot arbitrarily decide the life and death of other creatures.

Moreover, as the most intelligent creatures on earth, how can we only focus on the reproduction of our own group? As the most intelligent creatures on earth, we should shoulder the responsibility of protecting the earth and protecting other species!
However, they subconsciously ignored other intentions in "Parasyte", such as humans protecting the environment only to protect their own tribe. Those who threaten humans and the survival of the male protagonist and his family, like Hou Teng, were killed cleanly by the male protagonist in the end.

Therefore, for the reproduction of the human population, although humans dare not wantonly destroy the environment and kill lives indiscriminately, it is completely right to use them as food.

It’s just that people generally only see what they want to see, and the same is true for environmentalists in Europe and the United States.

From their perspective, they only saw those ideas and plots in "Parasyte" that were in line with their ideas, and would never associate them with those things that did not conform to their ideas.

Just like the BBC reports, they only report what they want to report, as for the rest...

what?
where is it?
Why did my camera suddenly break? The lens became gray after it was repaired. However, although environmentalists cannot see the ideas of "Parasyte", they still regard "Parasyte" as a "missionary" masterpiece.

That is to show "Parasyte" to some newcomers and passers-by, and then say, "See, do you think this comic makes sense?"

Then a group of people were gathered together to march.

Faced with this beautiful scenery, the American people have also said they have become accustomed to it.

Chris Nolan, the world-famous director who has recently become popular again because of the movie "EdgeWalker" and is galloping in the Hollywood circle of fame and fortune, is currently drinking coffee leisurely on the upstairs of his house while watching the parade outside.

There is no need to say much about the movie "EdgeWalker". It created a domestic box office of 3.6 million in its first week, and also created a first-week box office of nearly 2 million US dollars in the Republic.

And the current word of mouth has not collapsed. It is basically no suspense that the movie "EdgeWalker" has won the top spot in the box office of this movie schedule.

The only remaining suspense is... whether the movie "EdgeWalker" has a chance to break the record of "Avatar" setting two years ago with nearly 28 billion US dollars in global box office.

Now the media and many filmmakers remain confident that the movie "EdgeWalker" has the potential to break the global box office record of 28 billion US dollars.

After all, the popularity of the movie "EdgeWalker" is really unstoppable, and the global film market two years later has expanded a lot compared to two years ago.

It’s hard to say whether Edgewalker can surpass the box office record of Avatar by taking advantage of the expanded market.

But Nolan is not in a hurry at all. Even if "Edgewalker" cannot surpass the record of "Avatar", it is enough to add another highlight to his film resume.

Based on the record of the movie "EdgeWalker", it is a foregone conclusion that it will enter the billion box office club, and it is definitely not shameful if it cannot surpass "Avatar".

With the popularity of the movie "Edgewalker", WB Films has made up its mind to launch the Aoyama comic adaptation plan!
"Parasyte...it looks quite popular, and the plot is pretty good too."

Nolan watched the final episode of Parasyte on his phone and said in agreement, "But it's not really suitable for a movie."

He wasn't interested in Parasyte either, and he actually wanted to make a movie about interstellar travel and black holes.

He actually had this idea before the filming of Edgewalker was confirmed.

But "EdgeWalker" is so attractive. The cyberpunk theme, plot and setting of "EdgeWalker" all make Nolan very happy.

So he decided to make the Edgewalker movie first.

But now that the movie Edgewalker has been released and is a critical and commercial success, he has nothing to worry about.

Then the next step is to prepare to shoot the movie he has been thinking about for a long time, which is about interstellar travel and black holes.

But just then...

"Jingle Bell--"

Nolan's cell phone rang, and he took a look. It was... a call from the current president of WB Films.

He casually picked up the phone, "Um, this is Chris."

……

What happened in Europe and the United States was quickly made known to the people of the Republic through the reposting of videos.

Everyone was happily eating melons and making some jokes, blaming that old thief Qingshan!

At this time, Lin Qingshan had completed the drawings for the first three episodes of "The Tao of Strange Things".

He first went to find Ayumi Ito with the draft drawing with full confidence. In fact, Ayumi Ito is still his editor-in-chief.

But in fact, Lin Qingshan’s new works are basically submitted to the editor-in-chief Yang Dahai for review.

Lin Qingshan's current status and influence are so great that Ayumi Ito basically does not interfere with his comic creation.

"Teacher Aoyama."

Ito Ayumi saw Lin Qingshan, then saw the briefcase in his hand and said, "Is this the new work you mentioned?"

"Yeah...haha, Ayumi, do you want to take a look first?"

Lin Qingshan said with a smile.

"Okay... the editor-in-chief seems to be in a remote meeting right now."

Ito Ayumi nodded immediately and said, "Then let me take a look first."

Then she carefully took out the drawing of "Tao Guiyixian" and felt a little strange when she saw the name.

But when she opened the first page and saw the ancient style of painting, her eyes immediately lit up.

Although the picture seemed a little weird for some reason, a handsome young man in rough cloth was in a damp and cold cave, surrounded by many people like him.

But those people seemed a little strange... some had broken legs, some were covered with black hair, but the girl with white hair was not that abnormal.

After all, everyone in the Republic is obsessed with gray hair, so it is normal for characters with gray hair to appear.

But the first original painting in the comic manuscript, the Chinese style of painting is really beautiful.

People in the Republic love this style.

"This new style... the teacher draws really well!"

Ayumi Ito first exclaimed in admiration, and then started reading the comic plot.

Then the handsome boy at the beginning revealed his name to be Li Huowang after a quarrel in which he stood up for a girl. It was obvious that this handsome boy was the protagonist.

Li Huowang?
What a period-style name...

It would have to be at least the republic of the last century to have a name containing the word "Wang".

Ayumi Ito thought a little strangely, but this doubt did not stop her, and she continued reading.

But what happened next was that the protagonist and a woman with a crooked mouth and drooling mouth, who was called Sister Wang, were called to the "Master" by a Taoist priest wearing a green Taoist robe.

The master also looked very evil. He was obviously a Taoist priest, but to Ito Ayumi he looked more like a bandit who burned, killed, looted and did all kinds of evil.

And then what happened next was... the master threw Junior Sister Wang into a stone urn that was half a person's height. With a ferocious look on his face, the master used a huge medicine pestle to smash Junior Sister Wang into a pool of blood and flesh.

As the "Master" in the comics, who now looks even more terrifying, shouted, "Start the furnace and make the elixir!"

Two Taoist children with exaggerated blush on their face walked out from the shadows, fanning the furnace while pouring various ingredients into it. Among them were various gold and stone powders and quite a few living, wriggling creatures.

This is not alchemy! It's cannibalism! Ito Ayumi really felt like she had goosebumps all over her body.

As a result, the scene in the next cartoon manuscript suddenly changed, and the original "alchemy room" turned into a bright, clean ward with fresh air.

The protagonist Li Huowang, who was being interrogated by the old Taoist priest who was refining the "human elixir", also changed his clothes and was tied to the hospital bed with restraints.

Then she finished reading the draft of the first episode.

"This is... a mental hospital?!"

Ito Ayumi blinked, her face full of confusion.
