Chapter 447: Commercial Value, Popularity and Dilemma (Original)
In Lin Qingshan's previous life, the Fate series was actually a more commercial series of works. "Fate Zero" is a work in the Fate series that not only has commercial value but also has certain artistic qualities.

This is naturally because the main screenwriter of the "Fate Zero" series is the old Kyon who is well versed in the ways of darkness and cruelty...

As for the other works in the Fate series...it should be said that there are more than a dozen Fate series-related derivative animation works, which are basically the route of passionate youth animation.

Except for the two branch quests in the fifth war, which are also dark and cruel.

However, Lin Qingshan will not be responsible for the rest of the Fate series works.

It's just that during the process of making "Fate Zero", he summarized the various side plots of the Fifth War and Chaldea, and provided them to Trigger Animation, C Station and Lightspeed Game Development Company.

Lightspeed Game Development Company has also recently been accelerating the development of the game FGO mentioned by Lin Qingshan.

Station C also provided a lot of financial assistance.

This is of course because Lin Qingshan said that this game and the Fate series will become a huge cash cow.

Who wouldn’t be confused after hearing this? Of course, Lightspeed Game Development Company and C Station are putting all their efforts into developing the game FGO.

But developing games also takes time.

In particular, Lin Qingshan decided that, in addition to some very important heroic spirits in the Fate series.

For example, he will help with the settings and image design of several heroes in the fourth and fifth wars, and the rest will be handled by the Lightspeed Game Development Company themselves.

After all, as a game developed by the Republic, FGO will definitely add more ancient heroes of the Republic.

However, in the previous life's FGO game Republic, the number of ancient heroes cannot be said to be few, it is simply outrageous, and it seems that except for Li Shuwen, the others are not well-received.

After all, it was a game developed by a foreign country, so it was understandable at the time.

As for this parallel world, Lin Qingshan thinks it is better to let the Lightspeed Game Development Company handle it themselves.

If Lightspeed Game Development Company were to do it themselves, they would probably add a lot of ancient heroes of the Republic, and the design would be more biased and reasonable.

In fact, this is true. Lightspeed Development Company designed it itself and really added a lot of ancient heroes of the Republic.

Famous historical figures such as Zheng Ge, Jiang Taigong, Han Xin, Jing Ke, Li Bai, Liu Xiu, Yuan Tiangang, Li Yuanba, etc. are all on the production proposal.

Of course, they also collected historical figures from abroad, such as the first Hassan, Caesar the Great, Octavian, Aristotle, the tyrant Nero and other famous figures.

However, Lin Qingshan’s suggestion is…

Either these famous heroes are ridiculously powerful from the beginning, or some heroes who are not so at the top of history are released first.

Don’t let it be like another card game, where later on those obscure historical figures become more powerful than those legendary figures who are more famous and recorded in history…

Liang Zhiyuan and the others thought about it and adopted Lin Qingshan's suggestion.

Divide the Heroic Spirits that are obviously more famous into batches. For example, if you release Zheng Ge, don't release Jiang Taigong, and then release him as the crown Caster later.

The broadcast of "Fate Zero", the final season of the first part of "Chainsaw Man", and the second season of "Ghoul" continue.

After experiencing the successive denials from Emperor Iskandar and Gilgamesh, Saber was completely shaken.

However, she became more determined to win the Holy Grail War and obtain the Holy Grail's wish to return to the "Day of the King's Election" and change everything.

Kiritsugu had also been hiding in the dark and making preparations.

At the beginning, Airi existed as bait, and at that time no one thought that Saber's real master was not Airi, but Kiritsugu who was hiding in the dark.

At the same time, Ellie's body seemed to have some unexpected problems. She became weaker and weaker, and she couldn't even grasp her hands.

And there is...

On Gilgamesh's side, he seemed to be very interested in Tokiomi's disciple, Kotomine Kirei.

Now Assassin has completely left the stage, but Kotomine Kirei is still helping Tokiomi win the Holy Grail War.

Gilgamesh seemed to have seen something, and continued to seduce with words... or more accurately, to guide Kotomine Kirei to follow his own nature.

Go enjoy...pleasure!
Kotomine Kirei, who had clearly lost the qualification to participate in the Holy Grail War, now had the stigmata called the Command Seals appearing on the back of his hand again. It seemed that just as Gilgamesh had said, he actually had a strong desire deep in his heart to be recognized by the Holy Grail!
Kotomine Kirei was once again gradually guided by Gilgamesh's words...releasing the desires deep in his heart!

The audience is now looking forward to the subsequent plot of "Fate Zero". Originally, they were just curious about the setting of cyber battle historical cricket.

Some say Brother Yun is stronger, or foreign King Arthur and Alexander the Great are stronger.

However, while watching the subsequent plot of "Fate Zero", they gradually became immersed in this excellent plot.

Especially the eleventh episode, both the literary and martial arts scenes in that episode were very interesting and even attracted more audiences.

but……

At this time, what everyone is most concerned about is not the animated series "Fate Zero".

But another one——

The final season of "Chainsaw Man"!

This is Chainsaw Man after all!

The "Chainsaw Man" series is currently Lin Qingshan's most popular work, second only to "Edgewalker".

It's not even that Edgewalker is influenced by Cyberpunk 2077 and the movie version, so its popularity may not be higher than Saw Man.

Now that the first and final season has begun airing, it is destined to attract the audience's attention.

After all, the plot of this season is the most exciting part of the first "Chainsaw Man"!
This is indeed the case. After the truth about the previous expedition against the Gun Demon was revealed, the animated episode of the battle between Makima and the Gun Demon was shocking enough.

It can be said that the comics contain shocking enough scenes, so the shock brought by the animation will definitely not be much less than the comics, unless the animation production team is brain-dead.

It may even be several times more shocking than the original comics!
The grandeur of the scene in "Chainsaw Man" where the gun demon reveals his true form.

Then there's the weird sense of holy yet profaneness as the gun demons land and destroy the church, killing the choir children singing "Goddess of Joy."

The horror that killed thousands of people in that instant.

All these added together, the animated images and dubbing are really too shocking.

Especially for viewers who have not read the original work, and in fact, those who read comics are only a minority in the two-dimensional community.

Most of the two-dimensional group watch more animation. Even the original comic of "Chainsaw Man" will attract many people to watch it because of the popularity of the animation.

But the number of people who have seen it is still very small.

So most people were shocked to the extreme when they saw this episode.

This is even true for foreign animation viewers. Some people on Station C even made a video showing the shocked expressions of many foreign animation viewers when they watched this episode of "Chainsaw Man".

The animation audience was also quite shocked at the time, and kept saying -

"Oh my god, I was so shocked that I got goose bumps!"

"Aoyama is so awesome! The Dark Demon in Season 2 was already awesome, but now the Gun Demon is even more awesome!"

"But the Gun Demon is not even a hair of the Dark Demon. The Dark Demon is truly one of the strongest demons."

"It's mainly because of the amazing performance. The moment the Gun Demon appeared on the scene, he instantly killed thousands of people. Especially the scene where he destroyed the church and killed the believers. It was so powerful that it was blasphemous!"

"When I read the comics, I thought this scene would be so awesome when it was animated. When the song "Goddess of Joy" came out as the background music, my scalp really tingled!"

"The old thief Qingshan is invincible! He is really too invincible!" "Sometimes I have to admire the old thief Qingshan. It even makes me more convinced that there is no difference between genius and mental illness. Although the old thief Qingshan is a mental patient, his talent is beyond doubt."

"The genius is on the left and the madman is on the right. Qingshan the old thief was originally a genius. Now that he has become a psychopath, he is still a genius!"

……

But after this episode, the plot about the swordsman Aki Hayakawa came, which made all the fans of "Chainsaw Man" heartbroken.

This plot can be said to be the most climax and the most popular plot in the first part of "Chainsaw Man".

After being adapted into an animation, the story becomes even more exciting and shocking.

When Denci had a smile on his face that seemed neither smiling nor crying, he saw Hayakawa Aki appear with a gun barrel on his head.

Anime viewers, whether they have already read the plot of the comics or those who have not read the original comics, are all saddened by this.

In that episode, the screen was instantly filled with comments from the audience:

"Qiu Ma! My Qiu Ma!"

"I'm stupid...made!"

"Old thief Qingshan, I'm going to kill you! Makima, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you all! Kill them all!"

"It's so painful! It's so painful!"

"Bad woman! I'm going to kill you!!!"

"Why is this happening?"

"After the Gun Demon was killed by the evil woman, the evil woman deliberately let the Gun Demon possess Hayakawa Aki's body and was reborn as the Gun Demon."

"Wuwuwuwu why did Qiu Ma die in this way..."

“It’s so daggering! I’ve read the manga, but I still want to cry when I see this in the anime!”

"Hayakawa Aki! You will die in the most miserable way!"

“Ahhhhhhhhh, you old thief Qingshan, please kill me too! Kill me too!!”

……

Then there were other famous scenes such as "snowball fight" and "but it's clearly the smell of autumn outside the door".

In the end, Hayakawa Aki gently let Denji "win", but in reality he was killed by Denji, which made the audience very upset.

After all, they have watched three seasons of the "Chainsaw Man" animation and have completely fallen in love with the character of Hayakawa Aki.

Now Hayakawa Aki is dead.

He was murdered by the evil woman Makima and died at the hands of Denci.

So they were pretty devastated, just like Denji.

Then they witnessed Pava's death and shouted again that Lin Qingshan was a mental patient and threatened to arrange for him to be sent to the best mental hospital.

Later, Pava was reborn again, but separated from Denji again.

While they were moved, they felt depressed again, and they were all thinking about when they would be happy to see the bad woman Makima die.

And all this repression, of course, until...

The finale was the finale of the whole thing.

In the finale of the first season of "Chainsaw Man", Denji seemed to have a brain for the first time and used Pochita's true form to attract Makima's attention.

He hid until the end and used the blood given to him by Pava to make a chainsaw to give Makima the final blow!
Suddenly, when everyone saw that Makima was hurt by the electric shock, they all shouted and opened the champagne.

However, just when those viewers who have not read the original manga are curious about how Denji will deal with Makima, who is almost immortal because of the contract...

At the end, the appearance of "Stir-fried Pork with Ginger" scared them silly.

"Ah? This is... a... madman's diary?"

"So this is what stir-fried pork with ginger means? I'm stunned! So this is what you meant at the beginning."

"Makima is a demon girl, so strictly speaking it's not cannibalism."

"The devil girl tastes... delicious!"

"No matter what, I'll be happy if that bad woman Makima dies!"

"It's so damn good! Pop the champagne!"

"As expected of you, old thief Qingshan, you can even come up with such a plot, you are really crazy!"

"You're not nicknamed a psychopath for nothing!"

"But this is actually to be expected. Unfortunately... Chainsaw Man is coming to an end."

"Chainsaw Man is not finished yet. Now Qingshan Laozei said that it is just temporarily suspended. He will resume updating it at some time."

“I feel so suspenseful… ahhhhhhhh when can I see the rest of ‘Chainsaw Man’?!”

"Let's wait until Qingshan the old thief finishes serializing "The Tao of Strange Immortals"!"

……

And in the end, Denji used "love" to get rid of Makima.

However, the shore brought a new dominant demon - "Nayuta", who was given to Denji to raise.

Denji, at Pochita's suggestion, fell asleep hugging the newly born ruling demon Nayuta.

At this point, the first animation of "Chainsaw Man" came to a successful conclusion.

"Finish spreading flowers!"

"Congratulations! Congratulations! It's over!"

“Thanks for your company!”

"Goodbye, everyone! I hope I can see the second animation of Chainsaw Man in my lifetime!"

"We'll meet again if we're destined to do so in this lifetime!"

……

After the final season of the first animation of "Chainsaw Man" ended with extremely high popularity and reputation, the popularity of C Station has also increased.

Although the reputation of the second season of Ghoul is not as explosive as the first season, its reputation and popularity are still quite good.

Therefore, Youdou.com, which is competing head-on with Station C, has gradually begun to show that it is no match for Station C.

Station C continues to develop its own advantages and take advantage of the popularity brought by the anime, and is gradually moving towards a listing.

However, Lin Qingshan was suddenly in a dilemma at this time.
