Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 422: Word of Mouth Breakthrough and Finalization of Fate
"Um...then I'll think about it and give you an answer."

Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said.

The main reason is that he is a nostalgic person. When it comes to cooperation, he will definitely give priority to Trigger Animation Company, which chooses to trust him and cooperate with him, even if there is the risk of Youdou.com threatening to ban the company and causing it to fall apart.

However... he didn't know whether Trigger Animation was willing to produce the "Parasyte" animation.

After all, Ming Yi Yang obviously couldn't be unaware that Lin Qingshan had several completed comics such as "Parasyte" and "Flame Fist" that had not yet been adapted into animations.

Even if the "Dao Wei Yi Xian" has been serialized for more than 40 episodes, according to the situation that one season of animation contains about 20 to 30 episodes of comics, even the current "Dao Wei Yi Xian" can be animated...

This may be because they feel that "Parasyte" and "Flame Fist" are too niche and not very popular, or they feel that "The Taoist Priestess" is too explicit.

"Edgewalker" and "Chainsaw Man" can at least be considered animations that are almost on the verge of being banned for minors, and "Parasyte" can be considered to have barely passed.

But...the two comics "Flame Fist" and "Daoguiyixian", the plots and some of the scenes in them, if you really say that these are not regulated animations, you are lying.

In "The Flaming Fist", Agni imitated his ancestors and cut off his hand to save the village, and later he led the people fleeing from Besim Druk to solve the food problem.

There are also the parts about refining elixirs in "The Tao of Strange Immortals", the Happy Zen Buddha in Zhengde Temple, Li Huowang using the Cangchen to climb the stairs, and the Nestorian Church's purgatory-like place.

Anyone who writes online will be warned, blocked, and reviewed by Shenshou.

What's more, Lin Qingshan is also a cartoonist who drew these clips.

In other words, he has a system and a strong background, otherwise he would have been taken away long ago.

However, due to his ability [Titanium Gold Medal (Master)], he is confident that his comics will not be completely banned even if they are adapted into an animation.

But he does have this confidence, but animation production companies like Trigger Animation do not have this confidence.

It was really blocked... At least the cost, time, and manpower invested in animation production for more than half a year were all lost.

It's really hard to cry at that time.

Lin Qingshan thought about it and decided to reply to Ming Yiyang and ask if Trigger Animation had ever considered adapting "Parasyte" into an animation.

Otherwise, he would choose one of the phenomenal animation works that were very popular in the past, such as "EVA" and "JOJO", and give it to Trigger Animation to produce.

So he looked at Ming Yiyang's chat interface, who had anxiously sent him several messages when he was on the phone, and typed a reply, "Well, sorry I just received a call."

Ming Yiyang also replied generously, "It's okay, teacher, if you have something to do, we can go have a meal later and talk slowly."

"Well... it's not an urgent matter, but my editor called and said..."

Lin Qingshan continued typing, "MADHOUSE, a company in the industry, has proposed to Manjie Company to cooperate in the animation of "Parasyte", and several other companies, such as Hegemony and East India, have also asked..."

"But I will definitely give priority to you Trigger. Do you want to animate the manga "Parasyte"?"

Ming Yi Yang didn't reply for a long time, as if he was thinking or discussing something in a meeting.

After a while, Ming Yiyang replied, "We prefer the cooperation style with the teacher like that of Akagi and the Ghoul. The best is the Akagi style..."

It’s not that Ghoul is bad, but Akatsuki Slash is obviously more popular and more evenly distributed throughout the entire process.

They are actually having a meeting right now, and Ming Yiyang is mainly communicating with Lin Qingshan about the next cooperation.

After seeing Ming Yi Yang's reply, Lin Qingshan immediately understood that he really thought that the popularity of "Parasyte" was average... They preferred animated series like Aka: Killing the Dragon, which was very popular throughout.

In this case... "EVA" and "JOJO" don't seem to be suitable.

After all, the beginning of "EVA" was slow to warm up, and the first two parts of "JOJO" were too traditional. It wasn't until the third part when the setting of the Stand user appeared that it became popular.

Mainly because Trigger Animation trusts him so much, of course he will say, "If I become the Jade Emperor in the future, I will let the peach blossoms bloom together."

Now that the crisis has been resolved, Lin Qingshan will of course report back to Trigger Animation.

But at this moment, his cell phone rang again.

He picked up the phone, but this time it was...

"Liang Zhiyuan?"

Lin Qingshan blinked and said curiously.

Liang Zhiyuan is the CEO of Lightspeed Games, the company that developed "Cyberpunk 2077". In fact, Lin Qingshan and Lightspeed Games continued to cooperate for a long time afterwards.

After the huge success of "Cyberpunk 2077", Lightspeed did not stop with just this first domestic 3A masterpiece.

Instead, they were thinking about developing more games, including 3A masterpieces, 2D games, card games... They tried to develop them all.

Even some game copyrights come from Lin Qingshan’s comic works.

For example... "Chainsaw Man" was adapted into a character collection fighting game, which made a lot of money by relying on the IP of "Chainsaw Man" which has huge popularity and fans.

But it's just a money-making game.

The game’s reputation is not very good, and it was even criticized by some players who called themselves “Leopard Head” and had no experience in playing the game, for costing too much money.

The game copyright of "Flame Fist" was also purchased to produce a 3A masterpiece similar to "Red Dead Redemption".

However, because the world setting of "Flame Fist" is inherently narrow, and... players have reported many bugs, its sales and reputation are not very good.

After all, without Lin Qingshan, even with the self-developed game engine Cyber, the capabilities of the Lightspeed Company's development team are still not enough.

They actually asked Lin Qingshan for help, but Lin Qingshan only helped to solve those bugs that he could easily solve with just a glance. As for the other troublesome bugs...

He was helpless.

Still want him to help develop games?

Don’t even think about it, Lin Qingshan will never work overtime!
However, the popularity of "Parasyte" was not very high, and it was obvious that there was no possibility of making it into a game, so there was no cooperation.

Now... you're calling me. Could it be that you're interested in the game copyright of "Daoguiyixian"?

Lin Qingshan picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Mr. Liang!"

"Teacher Aoyama."

Liang Zhiyuan remained warm and polite, saying, "Long time no see, how are you recently..."

"Yes, very good..."

After a round of greetings, Liang Zhiyuan coughed and told the purpose of his call, saying, "Teacher, this is the case. This time, our company... actually wants to set goals for the next game development project..."

"Is it The Dao of Strange Immortals? You should follow the procedure and ask the comic world first."

Lin Qingshan blinked and said.

Since he signed a contract with Manjie Company, the ownership of his comics and any copyrights belong to him personally, but must be managed by Manjie.

Of course, as a super popular cartoonist, Lin Qingshan’s new contract also states that he has extremely high autonomy over the copyright of his works.

If he doesn't want to sell the copyright of his work, the comic company can do nothing about it.

However, he cannot sell any copyright of his works on his own, but must discuss it with the comic company.

However, Liang Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment and said embarrassedly, "Actually... the goal of our game development project this time is the recently popular "Kill! Red Eyes" produced by you, C Station and Trigger Animation..."

"Zhan Chi?"

Lin Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Oh... it seems that there really were games in Akagi Kill's previous life, and they were card games and fighting games.

After all, the imperial tools and ministerial tools set up are very playable.

But...the inherent flaws and settings of Akagi Kill are such that it's doomed to not be a big hit if it were made into a game.

Because there are only forty-eight Imperial Instruments and Servant Instruments, and Servant Instruments are too useless, it means that they are weapons or props that are not as good as Imperial Instruments.

Then everyone will definitely collect as many imperial tools as possible, but there are only so many imperial tools.

If the game production team added a second imperial weapon, it would cause dissatisfaction among the original fans...

All in all, Akatsuki's game feels like a thankless task. After all, the setting of the imperial gadgets is too narrow. If the work did not specify how many imperial gadgets there are, but instead said that they are almost endless, then it would still have the potential to be a big hit.

Liang Zhiyuan heard Lin Qingshan's doubtful words and immediately replied, "Yes, teacher... We plan to develop a card battle game based on "Kill! Scarlet Eyes"."

"Zhan Chi is not suitable..."

Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said subconsciously, "If it's a card game, it should be a game of the type of Fate or Three Kingdoms..." He suddenly blinked, and then said with sudden enlightenment, "Right! Fate series!"

How could he forget this animation series which has huge commercial value and has several masterpieces that have left their names in the ACG world?

However, Liang Zhiyuan was confused and asked, "Three Kingdoms? Fate?"

He could understand the word "Three Kingdoms", so it should be a game based on the theme of the Three Kingdoms.

However, the Three Kingdoms theme... I think game developers at home and abroad have basically used it to death.

As for Fate, this is the English word destiny, right?

what is this?
Lin Qingshan laughed nervously at this time, gave a thumbs up and said, "That's great, Zhiyuan! Listen to me from now on, I will make sure that your Lightspeed Company will make a lot of money!"

The Fate series... that is the ultimate gold mine that can make a lot of money for animation production companies, game development companies and video websites that promote animation.

Not only has the Type-Moon company in the previous life survived for more than 20 years because of this series, but the original author Nasu Kinoko has also made a lot of money. And didn't Ah B also make a lot of money because of this game and animation?

Liang Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and decided to believe Lin Qingshan, and said, "Okay... I believe in Teacher Qingshan."

……

Lin Qingshan hung up the phone, and then planned to reply to Ming Yiyang, planning to produce either the Fourth War or the Fifth War, one of the two famous and popular anime series.

He actually prefers the Fourth War, which has Kiritsugu participating in it and was written by Urobuchi. In his opinion, it is better than the Fifth War.

Even though the Fifth War has the darker and more cruel plot line of Heaven's Cup, the plot of the Fourth War is still more realistic and thought-provoking.

however……

Another phone call.

Lin Qingshan suddenly felt strange. Why...after the popularity and reputation of the finale of Ghoul exploded, so many people called him today?
This time it was... Gu Qianli.

My own girlfriend...that's okay.

He picked up the phone and said with a grin, "What happened to Qianli?"

"Qingshan!! Our C station has finally broken through the blockade!"

Gu Qianli said excitedly on the other end of the phone, "Today, many animation production companies called us and expressed their willingness to resume our previous copyright cooperation with us. And there is one more thing..."

"what's up?"

Lin Qingshan asked curiously.

"Skeleton Animation Production Company, Dawei Animation Production Company and some other animation production companies hope that we can continue to participate in the production of animations with them like we did with Trigger Animation. The condition is... that Qingshan Ni, as the original author, participates in the production of part of the plot, settings, and original paintings."

Good guy...

Lin Qingshan was a little surprised. Has he become... a sought-after gold mine?

Yes, that's true.

After the finale of "Ghoul" sparked heated discussions, it caused a sensation among many animation production companies in the industry.

If it was just a popular animation, it certainly wouldn't make them so excited, but... Lin Qingshan, as the original author, produced three animation series in cooperation with C Station and Trigger Animation - Ghoul, Aka Kill and Chainsaw Man Season 2.

From the current perspective, the second season of "Chainsaw Man" is definitely a sure thing.

After all, it is an animation adapted from a comic. The popularity of the original work is there, and the broadcast of the second season has not caused dissatisfaction among comic fans. In fact, its popularity has remained firmly ranked first.

How could it possibly fail at the very end?

It is possible that Aka is killed, after all, who knows how the subsequent plot will develop?
But...Lin Qingshan's works have never failed in post-production.

There are cases where the popularity seems mediocre in the early stage, but becomes a god in the middle and late stages.

Although everyone makes mistakes sometimes, Lin Qingshan hasn't failed yet. You can't lend him money and expect him to fail later.

Moreover... as a plagiarist, his character may be bad, but the works he plagiarizes... will really not be bad.

Unless Lin Qingshan is out of his mind and chooses a crappy movie like the Devil Academy which has a completely ruined reputation.

But he also hates comic works like the famous works such as Devil Academy and Aunt Niu, which violate the three principles of Master Tezuka's comics and have no bottom line.

We will never choose works that hurt people's feelings.

Since Lin Qingshan made his debut, he has only produced good works at best and no bad works. In addition, his popularity and reputation have soared after he produced three series in a row this time.

His reputation also took off completely, and in the eyes of the audience, his reputation was probably equivalent to that of Old Kyon in his previous life.

He is still an enhanced version of Kyon. After all, Kyon also has a record of failures, but Lin Qingshan does not.

As soon as everyone sees the four big words "Original work: Aoyama" at the beginning of the animation, they will probably jump into the pit without any worries.

"How bad can the work of Qingshan the old thief be?"

"You can always trust Qingshan the old thief!"

Some viewers have already posted such comments on the forum, and many netizens even think that it is correct and that Lin Qingshan's works are definitely worth watching.

So he became a hot commodity in the eyes of animation production companies.

Youdou.com banned?

Didn’t Trigger Animation get banned? But now it is still a huge success in cooperation with Lin Qingshan and C Station, isn’t it making a lot of money?

So they also chose to cooperate with Station C and asked Lin Qingshan to produce the animation series.

Why can Trigger Animation cooperate with C Station, but they can’t?
They were so jealous because Trigger Animation had been working with Lin Qingshan for so long and had produced five extremely popular animations, including Edgewalker, Chainsaw Man 1 and 2, Akame ga Kill, and Madoka Ghoul.

They should have collaborated with Aoyama-sensei earlier, they made so much money from Trigger Animation.

So now they don’t care whether Youdou.com is banned or not.

Anyway, it was just a ban by Youdou.com, not a ban from the national level.

The ban on Youdou.com is just a threat that prevents you from making big money.

But the trigger animation is so good that this ban is basically useless.

Lin Qingshan was also a little puzzled. He blinked and said, "But this..."

But he thought again and felt that in the future, Station C really needed a lot of new anime that at least reached the level of masterpieces, so as to increase the speed of Station C's development.

Next, Trigger Animation probably won't need much help from him on the third season of "Chainsaw Man" and the sequel to "Ghoul". He will only be responsible for the animation production of "Fate".

But he should also provide some help to the Lightspeed Game Development Company, the fate card game FGO.

There is also the serialization of "Dao Wei Yi Xian"...

Lin Qingshan sighed and decided not to put too much pressure on himself. He said, "Qianli, refuse it for now."

"Okay... That's right, Qingshan, you don't know the art of splitting yourself."

Although Gu Qianli didn't know that Lin Qingshan had decided to take charge of the animation and game production of the Fate series first, she could still feel that it would be very tiring if Lin Qingshan agreed, so she didn't say much.

"It would be great if I could really clone myself."

Lin Qingshan pursed his lips and said sadly.

In this way, he could bring out all his favorite works from his previous life.

However, although the system seems to be able to produce abilities related to the parallel world series, in fact, even System Lao Deng does not have any real superhuman abilities.

Even the ability of speed has its limits. The diamond-level speed ability [Speed ​​Star] is only four times the speed in painting, writing, and making special effects.

The ability to go faster than that is gone.

Therefore, the system Lao Deng also has its limits. At most, it can only allow Lin Qingshan to obtain knowledge, good health, and good luck from the parallel world.

The rest... sorry, I can't do that.

"Okay, why don't we go out for dinner tonight, Qingshan, you should have a good rest."

Gu Qianli asked gently, "The Wards Jim Biader restaurant that I often went to with Zhihan and Zhiqiu when I was working overtime some time ago was pretty good. I'll call and reserve a table later."
